L’orthographe lexicale du français, un système qui gagnerait à être amendé
Authors: Makassikis Martha
Published: December 2023

Dans son ouvrage L’orthographe lexicale du français, système et réforme (2023), Claude Gruaz analyse 207 unités graphiques du français, en approfondissant l’approche systémique amorcée par sa prédécesseure, Nina Catach. Il introduit, pour ce faire, les termes de graphe (unité générique de l’écrit) et de graphon (unité graphique sans correspondant oral, qui peut être nécessaire ou effaçable) et propose des représentations arborescentes ainsi qu’une réécriture linéaire pour rendre compte de la composition graphémique des mots qu’il étudie. Son analyse très minutieuse le conduit à la prise de conscience de l’inutilité des graphons effaçables, qui compliquent sans raison le système graphique du français, le rendant moins rationnel, moins prédictible, plus difficile à s’approprier. De cette prise de conscience découle naturellement une proposition de réforme de l’orthographe lexicale française, fondée sur la suppression des graphons effaçables et sur la modification de certaines unités graphiques. Le vœu de l’auteur est de soumettre les deux graphies au locuteur-scripteur en lui laissant la liberté de choix et de permettre à l’outil orthographique de gagner en cohérence et en rationalité.
Quelles compétences à interagir culturellement dans la télécollaboration plurilingue en intercompréhension ?
Authors: Degache Christian
Published: December 2023

Depuis une vingtaine d’années (Degache, 2018), nous expérimentons, en situation réelle de formation, différents scénarios télécollaboratifs réunissant des équipes de pays et langues différents et un nombre conséquent de participants (de 100 à 200 dans chaque session). La communication est basée sur le principe de l’intercompréhension en langues romanes selon lequel chacun s’exprime en priorité dans sa 1ère langue romane et fait l’effort de comprendre les langues des autres. Dans ce cadre, la dimension interculturelle des échanges et des productions a fait l’objet de nombreuses analyses (Degache & coll., 2007 ; Araújo e Sá & Melo-Pfeifer, 2010 ; Arismendi, 2011 ; Degache & Silva, 2020 ; da Silva & Degache, 2021). Dans cette contribution, nous en ferons une revue afin d’identifier quelles sont les compétences à interagir culturellement qui sont mobilisées dans une telle situation d’échange plurilingue. De cet état de l’art, nous essaierons de dégager quelques suggestions pour l’évolution des scénarios existants et la conception de nouveaux scénarios ainsi que pour l’accompagnement tutoral.
Comment prendre en compte et évaluer l’activité des élèves scolarisés en UPE2A et inclus en mathématiques ?
Authors: Noirel Holveck Arlette
Published: December 2023

Cet article étudie les indicateurs de compétences langagières mobilisées par des élèves allophones inclus en cours de mathématiques au collège afin de mesurer leur activité et de la prendre en compte dans l’évaluation. Au préalable, la revue de la littérature illustre l’importance de ces compétences, pour laquelle l’intérêt est ancien et continu, en particulier, dans le cadre de l’apprentissage des mathématiques où elles participent à la construction de la conceptualisation. La méthodologie est ensuite abordée en précisant les sources des données, à savoir les productions de 5 élèves issues de situations variées du cours de mathématiques et la construction des indicateurs de compétences langagières. Les résultats de l’analyse de cet échantillon de productions montrent comment les élèves entrent dans la discipline tant à l’écrit qu’à l’oral, en compréhension et en production en mobilisant des registres sémiotiques variés (graphiques, formules, dessins…). Enfin, la discussion aborde les marques d’activité des élèves : elle avance des facteurs d’explication et fait des propositions pour une meilleure prise en compte de ces marques dans l’évaluation.

Published: December 2023

Cet article s’intéresse à l’expérience d’apprentissage du français langue seconde/langue de scolarisation (FLS/FLSco) de jeunes immigrants allophones arrivés au Québec entre 13 et 17 ans et ayant fréquenté un programme d’enseignement du français langue seconde, soit la classe d’intégration linguistique scolaire et sociale (classe d’ILSS) la formation générale des jeunes (FGJ) ou encore un programme de francisation des adultes immigrants en formation générale des adultes (FGA). La recherche de type exploratoire a été menée à l’aide d’une méthodologie mixte, soit une collecte de données par questionnaire (N=40) suivie d’une entrevue individuelle dirigée (n=12) et permet d’indiquer que dans l’ensemble, les répondants ont apprécié leurs parcours d’apprentissage du FLS/FLSco, mais, certains éléments pourraient être améliorés tel que l’enseignement de l’écriture ou du français parlé québécois.
De l’atelier à l’usine Zeller-frères, une entreprise des vallées vosgiennes face au processus d’industrialisation (1816-début du XXe siècle)
Authors: Behra Théo
Published: December 2023

Il a existé une importante diversité industrielle dans le Haut-Rhin. Si Mulhouse et son patronat protestant ont fait figure de moteur régional, il ne faut pas occulter le rôle d’un « patronat catholique de seconde zone[1] ». Bien qu’en périphérie, certaines dynasties industrielles permirent à l’industrie de pénétrer dans les vallées vosgiennes. C’est le cas de Zeller-Frères, implantée dès 1822 dans la haute vallée de la Doller. Fondée par Joseph et Férréol Zeller, cette entreprise textile est l’archétype de la société familiale alsacienne. D’une longévité impressionnante, elle survit à l’annexion de 1870 et aux deux guerres mondiales, mais comme beaucoup d’autres, elle a été l’une des premières victimes de la crise du textile dans les années 1950. Au fil du temps, les conditions d’existence de Zeller-Frères ont beaucoup évolué. L’insuffisance des archives entrepreneuriales nous propose de réaliser une étude « par le bas », en accordant un intérêt particulier à la géographie et aux hommes. Cette approche micro-historique, nous permet de retracer la trajectoire d’une entreprise dont le modèle de développement est transposable à bien d’autres sociétés haut-rhinoises.

La Société Industrielle de Mulhouse et les débuts de la coopération transfrontalière (1962-1975)
Authors: Boulat Régis
Published: December 2023

Fondée en 1826, la Société industrielle de Mulhouse joue un rôle central dans la phase pionnière de coopération transfrontalière informelle qui s’étend du début des années 1960, date de la création de la Regio Basiliensis par de jeunes cadres bâlois soucieux de l’avenir de leur cité, aux « Accords de Bonn » en 1975 qui en font une « affaire d’État ». En effet, ses administrateurs souhaitent réaffirmer le rôle central de leur compagnie dans l’écosystème mulhousien au moment où ce dernier est chamboulé par la disparition des activités industrielles nées à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Même s’il s’agit de résoudre les problèmes pratiques qui se posent aux populations de part et d’autre de la frontière et de projeter un certain nombre de réalisations pratiques en matière d’infrastructures de transport, d’implantations industrielles ou de coopération culturelle, la Regio du Haut-Rhin qui voit le jour en 1965 se heurte à de nombreuses résistances au sein d’une partie des grands élus alsaciens et de l’administration française. Si la Regio prend finalement son envol à partir de 1969, les patrons mulhousiens se retrouvent dépossédés de leurs initiatives dès 1975 lors de la création de la Commission intergouvernementale prévue par les « Accords de Bonn ».

Authors: Lunardy Verena , Setiawan Budi
Published: December 2023

Extreme gastronomy tourism can usually be defined in many ways, be it because of the cooking methods or the interesting ingredients. Some countries like China and Thailand have unique gastronomy, and so does the city of Tomohon in Indonesia. In fact, it has turned into one of the world’s threads since the extreme ingredients were part of the pandemic’ causes. Not to mention, most of them are taken from the wildlife where we can not predict whether they have been vaccinated or not yet. This trouble will eventually cause the countries all over the world would start another lockdown which will also affect the tourism due to lack of mobility, on the other hand tourism has turned into one of the factors on why the world’s increased recently. In short, it can be concluded that the impact of pandemic can stop the tourism activity and affecting on a country’s economy too. This journal is reviewing journals literature where were taken from Google Scholar, Nature and Pubmed. Pandemic mostly happened due to the dissemination of virus in many ways which are direct contact or indirect contact. In fact, most of them are caused by food and spread through the physical touch and fluids, in addition the longer the chain of the virus will cause more toxicity to the other host. And the worst the diseases, the later will it resolves and causing an economic instability. It will eventually impact the economy flow and stability.

Authors: Lemos Hassã , Araújo Francisca , Barreto Marianny , Silva Thaynã , Cavalcante Matheus , Oliveira Roberta , Nunes Milena
Published: December 2023

Introdução: O tratamento da hanseníase consiste em um regime de poliquimioterapia com as seguintes drogas: Rifampicina, Dapsona e Clofazimina. Entre os efeitos colaterais, a metemoglobinemia decorre do uso da Dapsona e requer atenção especial, pois enseja a necessidade de suspensão da medicação e, em casos graves, de internação hospitalar. Trata-se de uma complicação rara, na qual ocorre uma anomalia da hemoglobina, que impossibilita a captação e a liberação de oxigênio. É provocada pela ação da Dapsona, quando administrada em quantidade e em duração além das recomendadas. Destacam-se como sinais e sintomas a presença de cianose, baixa saturação de oxigênio e dispneia aos esforços, embora a PaO2 esteja de acordo com os valores de referência. O diagnóstico da metemoglobinemia é realizado pela co-oximetria. Pacientes com cianose ou sintomas de hipoxemia, com PaO2 suficientemente alta, apresentam elevada suspeição. Apresentação do caso: Apresenta-se um caso de metemoglobinemia identificado na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) durante um tratamento de hanseníase, que exigiu condução minuciosa, culminando na suspensão da poliquimioterapia, com resolução do evento adverso. Conclusão: O acompanhamento clínico rigoroso pela APS durante o tratamento da hanseníase possibilita o reconhecimento precoce de eventuais efeitos adversos da poliquimioterapia, bem como a adoção das devidas medidas.
Hospital incidence, mortality, and gender disparities in patients treated for type A aortic dissections in Switzerland – a secondary data analysis of Swiss DRG statistics
Authors: Meuli Lorenz , Reutersberg Benedikt , Risteski Petar , Dzemali Omer , Zimmermann Alexander
Published: December 2023

AIMS OF THE STUDY: The incidence of type A aortic dissection (TAAD) has increased in several countries in recent decades, but epidemiological data for Switzerland are lacking. Furthermore, there are conflicting data regarding a gender-disparity with higher type A aortic dissection mortality in women. This study analysed sex-specific hospital incidence and in-hospital mortality rates of TAAD in Switzerland.
METHODS: This study is a secondary data analysis of case-related hospital discharge data from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office for 2009–2018. Cases that were hospitalised and surgically treated for type A aortic dissection were included in this analysis. Standardised incidence rates were calculated using the European standard population in 2013. All-cause in-hospital mortality rates were calculated as raw values and standardised for age, sex, and the van Walraven comorbidity score.
RESULTS: A total of 2117 participants were included in this study, of whom 67.1% were male. The age-standardised cumulative hospital incidence for type A aortic dissection treatment was 3.5 per 100,000 (95% CI: 3.3–3.7) for men and 1.7 (1.6–1.8) per 100,000 for women (p <0.001). The incidence rates increased in both sexes during the observed decade. The adjusted mortality rates for treatment of TAAD decreased from 27.6% (26.7–28.5%) in 2009 to 18.5% (17.9–19.1%) in 2018 in women, and they decreased from 19.0% (18.4–19.6%) to 12.3% (11.9–12.7%) in the same period in men. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that female sex was significantly associated with higher mortality, with an odds ratio of 1.39 (1.07–1.79) (p = 0.012).
CONCLUSIONS: Hospital incidence rates for the treatment of type A aortic dissection increased in both sexes over the observed decade. The mortality rate was significantly higher in women than it was in men, but it decreased in both sexes. TAAD remains a cardiovascular emergency with a high mortality rate even after emergency surgery.
Az idővonal felemelkedése

Published: December 2023

A Literatura 2022/2-es számának tematikus blokkja a történetiség különböző koncepcióit járta körül, nagy hangsúlyt fektetve a multitemporalitás jelenségére. Ha erre összepontosítunk, akkor egyúttal „szakítunk a történelem szokásos normatív szemléletével és megítélésével. Ennek a szemléletváltásnak a megerősítéséül szolgálhat az is, hogy a temporalitás, a történetiség hatalmi kezelése és értelmezése olykor szintúgy ellentmond a »fejlődés«, a modernizációnak megfeleltetett lineáris időbeliség rigorózus követelményének.” (Gyáni Gábor) Jelen dolgozat azonban egyet visszább lép, és az időbeliség e szokásos szemléletének kialakulását és módosulásait követi nyomon. Feltételezése szerint az időbeli folyamatok vizuális leképezéseinek történeti-kritikai vizsgálata új szempontból képes a modernitás időről, történelemről és történetekről alkotott elképzeléseit leírni. Ennek érdekében az idősoros grafikonok kultúrtörténetének felvázolására tesz kísérletet. A vállalkozás tétjét növeli, hogy napjaink adattudományi és digitális bölcsészeti munkáiban szintén ezek a grafikonok tekinthetők a legelterjedtebbnek, nagy hatást gyakorolva az időben zajló változások elgondolására. Miközben az eszmetörténet helyett magukból a leképezésekből kiindulva – a médiatörténet „valóságossága” mellett – lehetőség nyílik hagyományosan külön kezelt diskurzusok közötti kapcsolatok felismerésére is.

Published: December 2023

This paper examines occupational burnout among employees in the banking sector in Serbia, with an emphasis on the Covid-19 pandemic. Workload, short deadlines, role ambiguity, role conflict, lack of autonomy, job insecurity, new technologies, overly demanding clients, constant pressure for high performance, and fierce and increasing competition make the banking sector one of the most stressful. Banking institutions have undergone various changes in their strategies, organization, and structure in the past due to new technologies, processes, and working conditions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The research results of conducted empirical study based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory, in which 165 employees from Serbian banks participated in the first quarter of 2022, revealed a higher level of emotional exhaustion among employees who had daily direct contact with clients and those who worked from office, a higher level of depersonalization among male respondents, and a lower personal accomplishment among employees with less working experience.

Published: December 2023

The existing literature emphasizes the importance of performance management as a vital component for increasing any company's competitive advantage. Companies can base their performance management on a variety of tools. In today's circular economy, managing companies’ performance in terms of not just financial but also environmental concerns has become a strategic decision. Indeed, the study directions on performance management for circular economy strategies are diverse and quite scattered. This paper aims to propose a performance management framework under the balanced scorecard approach to be considered for the circular economy strategies implementation. A bibliometric approach was used to reveal the main directions of previous studies in performance management and circular economy strategies. Results revealed that the indicators of performance management under the balanced scorecard approach to be considered for the circular economy strategies implementation are various.

Published: December 2023

Adsorption of Cu(II) from aqueous solution on the activated carbon (AC) prepared from Arenga pinnata Merr fruit shell (APMFS) waste with the assistance of ultrasound was evaluated by conducting batch mode experiments. As a result, KOH activation using 40 kHz of ultrasound restructured active binding sites and produced more pores on the APMFS-AC according to FT-IR and SEM analyses, respectively. Increasing the sonication time from 45 min to 135 min increased the adsorption capacity from 6.535 mg/g to 7.042 mg/g, respectively, at the initial Cu(II) concentration of 257.213 mg/L, 27°C and pH 5. With an increment of the adsorption temperature to 45°C, it increased the adsorption capacity up to 11.765 mg/g. The investigation on the independent variables showed the optimum conditions of adsorption which were 257.213 mg/L of the initial Cu(II) concentration, 60 min of contact time, pH 5 and 45°C using 135 min of sonicated APMFS-AC. The Cu(II) adsorption isotherm was fitted with the Langmuir model at the optimum condition. The Langmuir mono-layer adsorption capacity obtained was 11.765 mg/g with the BET saturation capacity, and the total pore volume values were 13.029 mg/g and 3.987 L/mg, respectively. The Cu(II) adsorption followed the pseudo second-order kinetics model with the adsorption rate 0.473 g/mg.min. Thermodynamic parameters of enthalpy change (∆H0, 27.035 kJ/mol), Gibbs free energy (∆G0, 7.292 kJ/mol), entropy change (∆S0, 0.062 kJ/mol.K), and activation energy (E, 22.637 kJ/mol) were determined. These results confirmed that endothermic, spontaneous and chemical adsorption took place.
Poultry Residual Biomass as Substrate to Generate Bioelectricity using a dual Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell “MFC” with Graphite and Copper Electrodes
Authors: Jiménez Pacheco Hugo Guillermo , Linares Flores Castro Antonio Erick , Vera-Vásquez Cesar Gonzalo , Portocarrero Banda Abdel Alejandro , Del Carpio Beltrán Herbert Jesús
Published: December 2023

Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are electrochemical systems through which sustainable energy can be produced due to the degradation of organic matter using substrates with a varied chemical composition. The bioprocess that takes place inside the MFC takes advantage of the oxidation of organic matter. This process releases protons and electrons extracellularly, and the latter are transferred from the anode to the cathode generating bioelectricity. The MFC operating system produces energy due to the bacterial metabolism, through an electron transfer phenomenon that reflects into a bio energy conversion with minimal impacts on the environment. With the MFC system, it is possible to investigate the use of new residual substrates for energy production, the types of native microbial communities that develop during the degradation of specific compounds and the design of more efficient cells. In this research, copper and graphite were evaluated as low-cost electrodes using batch microbial fuel cells for 208 hours of operation, a data logger was used, and physicochemical parameters were taken during this period. The maximum power density presented was 14 mW/m2 with the graphite electrode and 6.7 mW/m2 with the copper electrode. Electrogenic bacteria were identified through biochemical and molecular tests such as bacterial culture, strain purification, DNA extraction and sequencing of microorganisms. The bacteria were uploaded to the NCBI gene data bank and the identity of these strains was identified: avian graphite 1 “Av_A1” (Pseudomonas aureginosa), avian graphite 2 “Av_A2” (Bacillus cereus) and avian copper 1 “AV_C1” (Bacillus tropicus). A dual chamber MFC was assembled, so each microbial cell can contain the residual substrate and the corresponding electron acceptor, both for the anodic and cathodic cell. These cells were separated by a Nafion® or Ultrex® membrane cation exchange membrane. The results showed us that optimal conditions for the generation of bioelectricity can be established in MFC cells, adding information to the literature on the behavior of bacteria that thrive in stressful environments such as copper and simple materials such as the graphite.

Authors: Turkadze Tsitsino , Gventsadze David I. , Mumladze Tamari , Gorgodze Gizo , Bochoidze Inga
Published: December 2023

The aim of the conducted study was to develop wood-polymer composites (WPCs) using secondary polymer waste and agricultural technology waste materials, which would have lower environmental impacts than WPCs made from virgin resources. The study focused on developing WPCs based on polypropylene filled with finely dispersed powders of waste products from tung oil production (PP+TOPW composites). Finely scattered powder (with an average grain size of 0.5–1.5 mm) was obtained from crushing and grinding the outer pericarp of tung fruit waste, which resulted from tung oil extraction. Tung oil is produced in Georgia from tung fruit that is grown in Tsalenjikha district, Georgia. In addition, to modify the properties of the WPCs, organic silicon oligomer tetraethoxysilane and powdered aluminum hydroxide were used as additives. 
The study found that the strength properties of the PP+TOPW composites can be optimized by modifying them with tung oil and other mineral additives. The optimal strength properties were observed at a filler content of 40 wt.%, where the compression and bending strength limits were 63.5 and 36.7 MPa, respectively. The water absorption of the PP+TOPW composites was reduced by modifying them with tung oil. The PP+TOPW composites with a filler content of 30 wt.% showed 0% water absorption, and the water absorption of composites with a filler content of 40 and 50 wt.% (modified with tung oil) was very low, ranging from 0.2–0.8%. 
The study also investigated the effect of modifying PP+TOPW composites with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), which increased all the strength parameters, including impact strength, and reduced water absorption, although not as much as when modified with tung oil. The introduction of a flame retardant, aluminum hydroxide, into the composite composition in the amount of 25–30 wt.% made the composites flame-retardant and low-combustible materials, expanding their potential applications, particularly in construction. 
Overall, the study successfully developed WPCs using waste materials with optimized properties, which have potential for various applications, including in construction, due to their flame retardant and low-combustible properties.

Published: December 2023

Due to its dependence on natural resources and weather conditions, agriculture is widely acknowledged as one of the most vulnerable sectors when talking about climate change. Lower yields and productivity, droughts, and water shortages have had an impact on food security globally. The food system using agrochemicals, cattle breeding, processing storage, transportation, and trade contributes even more to global emissions. Incorporating sustainability in the production of diverse and healthy food as a systematic approach to the concept of food security is challenging for the future capacity reduction of ecological systems due to the degradation of natural resources and the rise in social and economic inequality. Regenerative agricultural production that ensures long-term food security and nutrition, as well as processing and trade are therefore essential currently to secure the cooperation of social and economic systems. The main goal of the presented scientific paper is to point out the serious challenge of today related to environmental food losses and food waste in the world and the Slovak Republic in particular.

Abstract: In view of the complex influencing factors of tax revenue, the highly non-linear relationship among the influencing factors and the difficulty in predicting tax revenue, this paper proposes to use GM (1, 1) Combined with LSSVM, and it calculates the tax forecasting of China. This paper selects the proportion of the first industry, the ratio of import and export trade to GDP, GDP, the number of urban employment population, the proportion of residents' disposable income and tax revenue in fiscal revenue as the influencing factors, and uses GM (1, 1) and LSSVM respectively to predict the tax revenue of our country, establishes the quadratic programming model to determine the optimal combination weight for the formation of the combination predicting model of tax revenue in our country, make an empirical analysis with the tax revenue of our country from 2000 to 2018 as the research object, and compare the prediction results with LSSVM model, GM (1,1) model and improved GM (1,1) model. The results show that the prediction model of China's tax revenue based on GM (1,1) and LSSVM has a high fitting accuracy with the test set, which can reflect the complex non-linear relationship between various factors. It is of great significance for the development of prediction on Chinese tax revenue and the formulation of a scientific and effective national financial budget.

Published: December 2023

Melanoma, a rapidly spreading and perilous type of skin cancer, is the focus of this study, presenting a reliable technique for its detection. It is one of the most prevalent types of cancer that might be challenging for medical professionals to diagnose. Artificial intelligence can improve diagnostic accuracy when utilized in conjunction with the expertise of medical specialists. An innovative computer-aided method for the diagnosis of skin cancer has been introduced in the current study. The construction of the proposed method uses the African Gorilla Troops Optimizer (AGTO) Algorithm, a recently introduced meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, and deep learning models such as Faster Region Convolutional Neural Networks.  To reduce the complexity of the analytic process, valuable features are chosen using the AGTO method, and further classification is implemented using Faster R-CNN. The proposed model is applied to the ISIC-2020 skin cancer dataset. When the final performance results from the proposed model are compared to those from four existing works, the findings show that the proposed system outperforms the existing models with an accuracy of 98.55%.
Optimal Trained Deep Learning Model for Breast Cancer Segmentation and Classification
Authors: Krishnakumar B. , Kousalya K.
Published: December 2023

Breast cancer is the most widespread cancer among women. Based on the International cancer research center analysis, the highest number of deaths among women is due to breast cancer. Hence, detecting breast cancer at the earliest may help the oncologist to make appropriate decisions. Due to variations in breast tissue density, there is still a challenge in precise diagnosis and classification. To overcome this challenge, a novel OTDEM-based breast cancer segmentation and classification is proposed with the following four stages: they are, preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. The input image is passed to the initial stage using the CLAHE filter to enhance the image. Then the preprocessed image is given to the segmentation stage for the image sub-segments by correlation-based deep joint segmentation. Following that, the features such as statistical features, improved LGXP, texton features, and shape-based features are derived from the segmented image. Then the derived features are fed to the ensemble model that includes CNN, DBN, and BI-GRU classifier to finalize the classification outcome. Further, to enhance the performance of the ensemble model, the weight of BI-GRU is optimized via a new algorithm termed SIPOA. This ensures optimal training to make the model more appropriate in its classification process. Finally, the performance of the proposed work is validated over the traditional models concerning different performance measures.
Apply Physical System Model and Computer Algorithm to Identify Osmanthus Fragrans Seed Vigor Based on Hyperspectral Imaging and Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Qiu Caihua , Ding Feng , He Xiu , Wang Mengbo
Published: December 2023

This study explored the feasibility of using hyperspectral imaging technology and to identify Osmanthus fragrans seeds with different vigor under computer algorithm and physical system. Two varieties of Osmanthus seeds (JinQiGui and RiXiangGui) were artificially aged and then hyperspectral data were collected. Multivariate scattering correction (MSC) was used for spectral preprocessing. The selection of characteristic wavelength was realized by competitive adaptive reweighted sampling algorithm (CARS). The extreme learning machine (ELM) and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) were used to establish the spectral discriminant model, and convolutional neural network was used in the computer image discriminant model. The results show that the ability to recognize different vigor JQG was better than RXG. MSC preprocessing can not only make the data distribution more aggregated, but also effectively improve the accuracy of the model. MSC+CARS combined with discriminant model can be realized close to 100% recognition with fewer bands. Compared with machine learning model, image- depth learning model can get higher model accuracy for different vigor JQG and RXG without complex preprocessing. These results indicate that hyperspectral imaging technology can effectively distinguish different vigor of Osmanthus fragrans seeds based on computer technology and physical system, which is of great significance for future research.

Perspective Chapter: Forging the Future – An Economic and Geographical Odyssey of World Steel Production and Its Path Ahead
Authors: Nischal Nidhi , Vijay Kumar M.
Published: December 2023

Steel manufacture is a carbon and energy intensive process that, globally, on average, emits 1.9 tonnes of carbon-dioxide (CO2) and uses 5.17 MWh of primary energy per ton produced, accounting for 9% of 11 human CO2 emissions. The structure of the world’s steel production must fundamentally change if the Paris Agreement’s objectives of keeping global temperature increase below 1.5°C from preindustrial levels are to be met. There are a number of technological avenues leading to a lower carbon intensity for steelmaking, which bring with them a paradigm shifts decoupling CO2 emissions from crude steel production by moving away from traditional methods of steel production using fossil coal and fossil methane and toward those based on reasonably priced renewable electricity and green hydrogen. The effects of fully defossilized steelmaking have not yet been thoroughly studied with regard to the energy system. A Gross Domestic Product (GDP)—based demand model for global steel demands, which forecasts an increase in steel demand from 1.6 Gt in 2020 to 2.4 Gt in 2100, is used in this study to investigate the energy system requirements of a global defossilized power-to-steel sector.
Perspective Chapter: Why Do We Care about Violating Bell Inequalities?
Authors: G. Timpson Christopher
Published: December 2023

High energy experiments present an exciting new regime in which to explore the violation of Bell inequalities by nature. There are two main reasons why one is interested in Bell inequality violation. The first is that—for suitable experimental configurations—Bell inequality violation can indicate the failure of the condition of Local Causality, which condition is a natural way of capturing the desideratum of no superluminal action-at-a-distance. The second is that Bell inequality violation is an Entanglement Witness. I review both of these reasons for interest, and suggest that high energy experiments plausibly involve the latter rather more than the former, at least as currently configured.
System Architecture for Intelligent Environment-Aware Wireless Communications

Published: December 2023

The integration of communications and wireless sensing using the same frequency spectrum is likely to be one of the key features beyond 5G wireless systems, enabling digital transformation to its full potential. Therefore, future wireless communication networks will have to become intelligent, meaning environment-aware, adaptive and parsimonious in terms of radio resources and energy. In this chapter, we propose a system architecture that enables the introduction of intelligent environment-aware wireless communications. Special attention has been paid to the description of the wireless channel in the database with a set of radio rays, generated by the calibrated ray tracing using the ray bouncing method. The proposed approach enables straightforward calculation of the channel impulse response enriched with information about the angle of arrival and angle of departure for the band-limited multiple antenna wireless communication systems. The proposed architecture introduces the concept of local and global agents, used for retrieving associated parameters from the user requirements and the existing radio channel characteristics data.
Experts and artisans at the 1937 Paris World's Fair : the case of the Soviet pavilion
Authors: Berezina Elizaveta
Published: December 2023

In 1937, at the International Exposition of Art and Technology in Modern Life in Paris, the Soviet pavilion featured a rich variety of arts, including handicrafts. This article explores the endeavors of the Scientific Research Institute of Art Industry to arrange a collection of Soviet crafts for international display. Throughout the article, the preparation work is contextualized in relation to the other cultural and political processes of the mid-1930s. It further highlights the role of the Institute's experts in translating the ideological guidelines of the Fair Committee into the language of artistic practice. Based on analysis of archival documents, the article argues that in addition to the short-term goals of preparing for the exhibition, the Institute used this opportunity to expand its network of contacts and establish closer links with artisans all around the Soviet Union. The co-operation of experts and the artisans during the preparatory phase helped to build a common ground for planning further reforms in the industry. Finally, the articles seeks to determine how the motivations of the collectives and individuals corresponded to the official goals and state narratives of the Soviet participation in the 1937 Paris World's Fair.
Uklidňující dotyk sluchem : prožitek účastnice jako určující prvek tvůrčích strategií současných audioperformancí
Authors: Raiterová Eliška
Published: December 2023

Autorka studie si klade za cíl představit tvůrčí strategie několika audioperformancí vzniklých mezi lety 2019–2022 v českém divadelním kontextu, popsat je na základě vlastního diváckého prožitku a prozkoumat jejich účinek na diváka z perspektivy kognitivních věd a psychologie. Autorka nejprve představuje fenomén audioperformance a ukazuje, že audio strategie vycházející z predispozic sluchového smyslu nabízí silnou sugesci a emocionalitu. Detekuje postupně tři strategie: 1. stimulace prostřednictvím ASMR s využitím hmatové kvality sluchu, 2. zaměření pozornosti na vlastní tělo prostřednictvím technik vnitřního pozorovatele a focusingu, 3. rozšíření vědomí prostřednictvím proměny perspektivy. U všech třech přitom nachází výrazný relaxační účinek s terapeutickým potenciálem a zároveň edukativní funkci týkající se vnímání cílící na konkrétní generační zkušenost. Důležitou roli v textu hraje evokace vlastního prožitku, o jehož obhajobu v rámci teatrologického pole autorka usiluje.
