Niezrozumiały eksperyment czy społeczna interwencja? Konceptualizowanie literackiej awangardy na łamach lwowskich „Sygnałów”
Authors: Trzeciak Katarzyna
Published: January 2024

Artykuł przedstawia analizę wypowiedzi na temat awangardy poetyckiej publikowanych na łamach lwowskiego miesięcz­nika Sygnały (1933–1939). Koniec lat trzydziestych XX wieku był czasem formułowania bilansów awangardowej tradycji, a wybrzmiewające na łamach Sygnałów głosy akcentowały potrzebę odniesienia awangardowych programów i realizacji poetyckich do wizji literatury reagującej społecznie. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie i skomentowanie sposobów pisania o awangardzie; odsłonięcie znaczeń jej przypisanych i strategii łączenia/rozdzielania formalnej poezji (z którą utożsamiano awangardę) z poezją zaangażowaną. Artykuł odnosi się polemicznie do powojennych opinii o Sygnałach jako środowisku wyraźnie zdystansowanemu wobec awangardowego formalizmu i eksperymentu, którym odmawiało związku ze społeczną świadomością. Wypowiedzi z lwowskiego miesięcznika są w artykule ukazane na tle przewartościowań formułowanych w ówczesnej krytyce radzieckiej, co pozwala oświetlić między innymi sposoby wprowadzania do dyskursu krytycznego zagadnień realizmu socjalistycznego jako tendencji przeciwnej awangardowemu formalizmowi, ale w Sygnałach ukazywanej w nieoczywistym dziś związku z rewizjami (nie: negacjami) awangardowej poetyki.

According to results of failures statistics the authors have revealed most unreliable units and assemblies of electric-multiple units. Influence of reliability level of wheelsets on the reliability of an electric-multiple unit was estimated with the use of the Heinrich’s Pyramid. The authors have provided reasons of frequent failures of wheelsets and possible ways to eliminate failures. In order to increase of life of wheelsets and fast and efficient elimination of local defects they propose to use a mobile tool for wheelset trueing. The idea is in connection of theoretical representation of increase of electric-multiple unit reliability level (Heinrich’s Pyramid) and application of devices that promote it (tool for wheelset trueing). On the basis of calculations and the proposed method of failures elimination the authors provide a «sharpened» Heinrich’s Pyramid showing that they have considered an efficient method for increase of electric-multiple unit reliability.

Based on the data obtained by calculating the curvature and radius of the worn profile, as well as the angles of inclination of the tangent to it at different rolling, a refined wear model is considered. For this purpose, additional wear graphs are constructed according to the rolling profile, taking into account the very complex nature of the wheel and rail contacting surface wear at different locations of the reference points. Calculation errors are estimated, calculated parameters such as wear at various points are corrected. For further research of the theoretical nature, analytical expressions are used, on the basis of which graphical dependencies are constructed. The calculations are performed using the finite difference method, and the calculation error is estimated. Along with this, a tabular method of presenting a significant amount of data was used. The published article will be useful for understanding the complexity of the processes and quantifying the interaction between the wheel and rail in contact.

Published: January 2024

Violations of the integrity of rails on railway sections pose a serious threat to traffic safety, cause accidents and wrecks, lead to significant economic damage and human casualties. The integrity of rails is controlled by flaw detection methods, as well as by a special mode of operation of rail circuits due to the signal current flow around track circuits. The widespread use of AC rail circuits which reliably perform the control mode made it possible to organize a simple method of integrity control over a significant length of railway lines. The complexity of maintenance and low reliability of track circuits, in turn, led to emergence of alternative technical solutions for monitoring the vacancy of railway sections. However, these solutions are not able to control the integrity of rails and prevent elimination of track circuits. On the other hand, the joint use of continuous monitoring of rails and low-maintenance solutions for monitoring the vacancy of track sections will ensure reduction in operating costs with a constant level of traffic safety. The article analyzes technical solutions for monitoring the integrity of rails due to continuous current flow. The maximum length of the contour formed by two rails is set to control the integrity of the rails. The prospects of solutions for monitoring the integrity of rails based on the electrical circuit formed by rails and a cable running along them are shown.

The article is devoted to the gas-dynamic improvement of processes in the cylinder of an internal combustion engine by using profiled channels in the intake tract. Based on experimental studies of the gas dynamics of stationary air flows, thermograms of distribution of the gas flow inside the cylinder for the intake tract with channels having cross sections in the form of a circle, square and triangle for various initial velocities were obtained. The flow structure inside the cylinder was studied using the method of thermal survey, the average air flow velocity was determined using the method of thermal anemometry. It is established that the use of profiled channels in the intake tract leads to a significant change in the flow structure inside the cylinder, improving uniformity of distribution of the velocity field and reducing stagnant zones, and in the future it will increase the specific power of the internal combustion engine, reduce specific fuel consumption and the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust gases.

Authors:   JSC TSNIITS (Central Research Institute of Transport Construction), Tlyavlin R. M.
Published: January 2024

The Baikal section of the East Siberian Railway is considered from the point of view of the roadbed protection by engineering protection structures from wave impact. The results of observations of the experimental section are presented, illustrating that the railway section from the station Severobaikalsk to Nizhneangarsk station is 26 km long, of which 17 km lie adjacent pressed against Lake Baikal, is securely protected by berms of rock mass and is not exposed to wave impact. Based on the results of periodic observations at the experimental facility, it was concluded that wave-absorbing berms from unsorted rock mass showed their high wave-damping efficiency eliminating the need to use any other coastal protection structures, especially made of concrete. The evaluation of the danger of wave impact on the unprotected roadbed in the area from the station Nizhneangarsk to the Kichera station was carried out. The Kichera is 37 km long, of which 22 km lie adjacent pressed against the Bay of Angarsky Sor and through wetlands. It is shown that the ongoing erosion of the Yarki island may bring to the situation that the waves formed in the Baikal water area, penetrating into the Angarsky Sor, will destroy the roadbed unprotected from the wave impact to be found on pressed sections. Several basic options for engineering protection of the Yarki Islands are proposed for consideration.

«Green» supply chain management involves development and implementation of environmental solutions. The objective of their substantiation and evaluation under conditions of limited resources for their implementation is of particular importance. In order to highlight a whole complex of environmental solutions, the generalized concept of «green» logistics tools» is used in this research paper. The selection of optimal «green» logistics tools for implementation of material, financial, information resources and services in the elements of a logistics system is described. A technique for combining linear programming and multicriteria decision-making methods (MCDM) is presented. A system of «green» logistics tools has been formed for the six standard elements of a logistics system. The calculation results of the values of weight coefficients for tools and logistics elements are provided. The calculations of the weight coefficients were made using the developed CDM model constructed by combining DEMATEL and MARCOS multicriteria methods. The dependencies of the efficiency of «green» logistics tools on changes in available logistics resources are obtained. It is illustrated that the redistribution of logistics resources for implementation of various «green» logistics tools in the range of 7,5-15 % allows achieving the maximum effect from implementation of these tools in a logistics system or supply chain. A calculated example of a choice of 105 «green» logistics tools for six logistics elements is given in the article.

Refinements of the wear model of individual sections of the profile of the rolling surface of the wheel were made based on the data obtained when calculating the curvature and radius of the worn profile, as well as the angles of inclination of the tangent to it at different rolling values. For this purpose, mathematical dependencies of the finite difference method, analytical expressions, regression equations are used to describe the wear of the wheel surface at different locations of reference points. To reduce the calculation error, the initial curvature at individual points is taken into account. For further research, a wear curve with a constantly changing radius of curvature is constructed. The coordinates of the contact spots at some points are determined. A tabular method of representing a significant amount of data is used. The coordinates of the contact spot centers and the curvature radii of the wheel and rail profiles at various points are calculated. The presented data are useful for further studying the complexity of wheel-rail contact and quantifying the wear process of both the wheel and the rail in contact.

Published: January 2024

New technical solutions have been considered to ensure uninterrupted operation of snow removal machines in difficult weather conditions. The proposed technical solutions differ in that they are automatic means of warning and shutdown. The first automated monitoring tool allows you to promptly notify about load limits and, if necessary, urgently turn off the power to the electric motor. This device can be used both on snow removal machines and on other transport and technological machines, where overloads of electric motors are possible due to jamming of the conveyor belt. The second device improves snowplow safety by automatically controlling the snow remover’s wings and duplicating the continuous control of the snow remover’s wings. This technical solution makes it possible to ensure the safety of snow removal operations, when the frequency of damage to elements of track equipment increases during intense precipitation and poor visibility, and snow removal machines operate with open wings. The open wings of a snow remover extend beyond the dimensions of the rolling stock, which can cause damage to traffic light masts, marker bars, control and signaling devices located along the railway track.

The rural agriculture sector in Malaysia is vital to the economy because it employs many. Agriculture employs 3.5 million Malaysians and amounts for 9.1% of GDP, according to Statistics Malaysia (2019). Malaysian poultry farming is vital to rural income and jobs. Poultry farmers must grasp market dynamics and prepare strategically to succeed in animal production. A socioeconomically challenged group was used to evaluate rural Malaysian chicken raising practices. The case study demonstrated how these principles apply pragmatically to similar groups. The study collected qualitative data via in-person interviews. Interview covered poultry producers' issues and data was analyzed accordingly. Results indicated that lack of extension agents, technical expertise, budgetary constraints, and communication infrastructure hinder poultry breeding farmers. These challenges drove them to forsake their poultry farm and focused on rubber tapping as the main source of income. The latter strategy is less profitable but less laborious and cheaper. The study analyzed how community empowerment sustains rural development. To enhance rural areas, policymakers and development practitioners must understand community-led activities and create focused policies. Further research should study how government agencies might boost rural economic activity and supply chain efficiency.

Background: The existence of a 'treatment gap' is indicated by the high frequency of individuals with mental health disorders and the low number of individuals obtaining formal treatment. It refers to the prevalence of mental problems and the proportion of people who are treated or the percentage of people who need but do not receive treatment. Aims: The study is aimed to determine the utilisation of mental health services (MHS). Methods: This study is qualitative, using a case study approach. The primary informants were six mental health workers and youth health program holders from three Primary Health Care (PHC) with the most significant number of mental health cases. Meanwhile, five youths receiving or actively undergoing treatment at the PHC served as supporting or triangulation informants. An in-depth interview guide is used in the instrument. Results: Health insurance, waiting time and duration of services, and accessibility to services play a supportive role in MHS utilization, while family and health worker support, facilities, and infrastructure do not. Adolescent and family ignorance, the presence of community stigma, the availability of human and financial resources, and health promotion media are all barriers to the utilization of MHS. Conclusion: The PHC in the Kulon Progo area is responsible for acquiring human resources, fostering collaboration across sectors, and creating health promotion media to fulfil its obligations.

Public health ethics and the Kerala Public Health Act, 2023
Authors: Karpagam Sylvia
Published: January 2024

This commentary looks at the Kerala Public Health Act (KPHA), passed on November 28, 2023, through the lens of public health ethics. While the Act recognises the importance of prevention and strengthening of social systems, it falters in the public health ethics and human rights framework, ignoring international public health principles such as the Siracusa Principles and guidelines for individual diseases such as tuberculosis. The Covid-19 pandemic in India itself offers ample learnings, which have been disregarded, on the need for caution against state overreach. Principles such as autonomy, privacy/confidentiality, transparency, accountability, rule of law, least harm etc have not even been given token consideration, making this law a potential tool of abuse, particularly against already vulnerable communities.

Neuroinflammation and brain oxidative stress are recognized as significant contributors to hypertension including salt sensitive hypertension. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an essential role in intercellular communication in various situations, including physiological and pathological ones. Based on this evidence, we hypothesized that EVs derived from the brains of hypertensive rats with salt sensitivity could trigger neuroinflammation and oxidative stress during hypertension development. To test this hypothesis, we compared the impact of EVs isolated from the brains of hypertensive Dahl Salt Sensitive rats (DSS) and normotensive Sprague Dawley (SD) rats on inflammatory factors and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production in primary neuronal cultures and brain cardiovascular relevant regions, including the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and lamina terminalis (LT). We found that brain-derived DSS-EVs significantly increased mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines (PICs) and chemokines, including TNFα, IL1β, CCL2, CCL5, and CCL12, as well as the transcriptional factor NF-κB in neuronal cultures. DSS-EVs also induced oxidative stress in neuronal cultures, as evidenced by elevated NADPH oxidase subunit CYBA coding gene mRNA levels and persistent mtROS elevation. When DSS-EVs were injected into the brains of normal SD rats, mRNA levels of PICs, chemokines, and the chronic neuronal activity marker FOSL1 were significantly increased in the PVN and LT. Furthermore, DSS-EVs caused mtROS elevation in brain PVN and LT, particularly in neurons. Our study reveals a novel role for brain-derived EVs from hypertensive rats in triggering neuroinflammation, upregulating chemokine expression, and inducing excessive ROS production. These findings provide insight into the complex interactions between EVs and hypertension-associated processes, offering potential therapeutic targets for hypertension-linked neurological complications.
Harmonizing Movements and Messages: A Traditional Dance Performance Arts-Inspired AIDA Model for Promoting Sustainable Behavior and Effective Marketing Sustainability Communication

In the face of pressing global challenges, coupling the synergy of dance arts, sustainability, and marketing communications emerges as a potent catalyst for advancing sustainable behavior within society. Although prior research has examined the emotional stimulations raised by dance performance, it has not systematically demonstrated the role of traditional dance as a vehicle for sustainability marketing communications. This study fills this gap by using the AIDA model (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) as a foundation, conceptualizing dance performance elements into seven dimensions, and incorporating emotional engagement and environmental consciousness to foster sustainable behavior. Collaborating with Taiwanese dance troupe, the research produced a performance titled, ‘The New Dragon Palace Chronicle’, which focuses on the themes of destruction and preservation of underwater life, enriched with cultural and sustainability symbolism. The hypothesis were tested on a sample of 315 Taiwanese audience who watching the performance. The results confirmed that the seven dimensions of the dance elements have substantial validity and reliability, significantly drawing the attention of the audience as preliminary stage of awareness. This attention fosters emotional engagement and amplified environmental consciousness and significantly influences interest, desire, and ultimately, sustainable behavior action. The findings underscore the vital role of dance art performance in nurturing actions that contribute to social sustainability.
IP3R-Mediated Calcium Release Promotes Ferroptotic Death in SH-SY5Y Neuroblastoma Cells

Published: January 2024

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death pathway that involves depletion of intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels and iron-mediated lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is experimentally caused by inhibition of the cystine/glutamate antiporter xCT, which depletes cells of GSH, or by inhibition of Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), a key regulator of lipid peroxidation. The events that occur between GPx4 inhibition and the execution of ferroptotic cell death are currently a matter of active research. Previous work has shown that calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) mediated by ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels contributes to ferroptosis-induced cell death in primary hippocampal neurons. Here, we used SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, which do not express RyR channels, to test if calcium release mediated by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) channel plays a role in this process. We show that inhibition of GPx4 by RAS Selective Lethal Compound 3 (RSL3) generated an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased cytoplasmic and mitochondrial calcium levels, increased lipid peroxidation and caused cell death. The RSL3-induced calcium signals were inhibited by Xestospongin B, an inhibitor of the ER-resident IP3R calcium channel, by decreasing IP3R levels with carbachol and by IP3R1 knock-down. The intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA-AM inhibited RSL3-induced calcium signals, which were not affected by extracellular calcium depletion. We propose that GPx4 inhibition activates IP3R-mediated calcium release in SH-SY5Y cells, leading to increased cytoplasmic and mitochondrial calcium levels, which in turn stimulate the production of ROS and induce lipid peroxidation and ferroptotic cell death in a noxious positive feedback cycle.
Tree-based Modeling for Large-scale Management in Agriculture: Explaining Organic Matter Content in Soil
Authors: Lee Woosik , Lee Juhwan
Published: January 2024

Machine learning has become more prevalent as a tool used for biogeochemical analysis in agricultural management. However, a common drawback of machine learning models is the lack of interpretability, as they are black boxes that provide little insight into agricultural management. To overcome this limitation, we compared three tree-based models (decision tree, random forest, and gradient boosting) to explain soil organic matter content through Shapley additive explanations (SHAP). Here, we used nationwide data on field crops, soil, terrain, and climate across South Korea (n = 9,584). Using the SHAP method, we identified common primary controls of the models, for example, regions with precipitation levels above 1400 mm and exchangeable potassium levels exceeding 1 cmol+ kg-1, which favor enhanced organic matter in the soil. Different models identified different impacts of nutrients on the organic matter level in the soil. The SHAP method is practical for assessing whether different machine learning models yield consistent findings in addressing these inquiries. Increasing the explainability of these models means determining essential variables related to soil organic matter management and understanding their associations for specific instances.

A crucial aspect in developing machine learning algorithms (or any type of predictive models) is the comparison of different algorithmic candidates based on evaluation criteria that measure their accuracy and practical value in terms of successfully capturing the complexity of the underlying problem and generalizing in a wide range of real-world scenarios. In the domain of diabetes mellitus machine learning techniques are widely employed in the prediction of future values of glucose concentration in the blood in order to assist the patient in avoiding deviations from the normo-glycemic value range and the consequences of hyper- and hypoglycemia. In the relative literature there is an apparent lack of a uniformly adopted evaluation metric which could combine the clarity and direct comparative nature of statistical mathematical formulas dealing with prediction error residuals (e.g., the RMSE) with the clinical insights and the visual-qualitative approach of clinical evaluation tools (e.g., Clarke's EGA). Mean Adjusted Exponent (MADEX) error metric, proposed in this paper, attempts to address this need by providing a validation tool based on an easy to implement mathematical formula, that incorporates adjustable parameters of clinical significance.
