Contamination Control During Sample Preparation for Trace Element Analysis of Electronic Cigarette Aerosol with Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry, Part 2
Authors: Pappas R. Steven , Gray Naudia
Published: June 2023

Part 1 of this tutorial addressed how environmental contamination may be minimized by using proper personal analytical practices, sample preparation environmental suggestions, avoidance of glass and low purity quartz contact with samples and standards during sample collection and preparation, and appropriate choices of high purity solvents during sample collection and preparation. Part 2 continues the discussion in terms of minimizing sample contamination issues by using high purity polymer materials for sample collection and preparation, as well as discuss the differences between instrument and method limits of detection (LODs). Accepted and appropriate procedures for calculating method LODs are related to variability in instrument response and unavoidable environmental contamination during even the cleanest sample preparation. Adherence to such practices will help analysts avoid false positives and report results with a high level of confidence.

La recuperación de materiales de subproductos agroalimentarios puede favorecer el medio ambiente y la economía.
BK-POSE: A LIGHTWEIGHT MODEL FOR MULTI-PERSON POSE ESTIMATION IN THE WILD
Authors:   ICEA Institute of Control Engineering and Automation, HUST, Nguyen Van Giang
Published: June 2023

Human pose estimation is an essential topic in computer vision research, which has numerous applications in various fields. In this article, we propose a lightweight deep learning architecture called BK-Pose for recognizing human keypoints from images and videos that can be executed on edge computing devices. The main contributions of our work are two folds: (1) A lightweight bottom-up deep learning model is introduced that can be deployed on edge devices and can achieve high frames-per-second (FPS) rates while maintaining acceptable accuracy in suitable environments. (2) The incorporation of a novel focal L2 loss (FL) technique allows for the effective balancing between “hard” and “easy” keypoints samples during training. The performance of the BK-Pose model is evaluated within a classroom environment for capturing students’ keypoints and demonstrate its efficacy. Our results show promise for further research in activity recognition using the proposed architecture.
ON A NONLINEAR LANCHESTER COMBAT MODEL OF NETWORK CENTRIC WARFARE TYPE AND AN ANALYSIS OF OPTIMAL FIRE ALLOCATIONS
Authors:   Le Quy Don Technical University, Vu Anh My
Published: June 2023

In this work, we introduce a nonlinear Lanchester model of Network centric warfare (NCW)-type and study a problem of finding the optimal fire allocation for this model. A Blue party B will fight against a Red party consisting of A and R, where A is an independent force and R fights with supports from a supply unit N. Optimal fire allocation will then be sought in the form of piece-wise constant functions so that the remaining force of B is as large as possible. For this model, we also introduce a notion of threatening rates which are computed for A,R,N at each stage of the battle. These rates will then be used to derive the optimal fire allocation for B. Several numerical experiments are presented to justify the theoretical findings.

CROSS-FREQUENCY DOMAIN FOR JPEG INVERSIBLE WATERMARKING USING MULTIPLE QUANTIZATION TABLES
Authors:   Electric Power University, Pham Quang Huy
Published: June 2023

Reversible data hiding techniques for JPEG images have big challenges in order to improve the capacity, quality, and flexible embedding method. In this article, we propose a new crossdomain using combination of multiple quantization tables in JPEG algorithm. We survey the efficiency of quantization coefficients on the DCT tables in order to decide the way to embed the watermark information. Compared to the conventional method, our experimental results show that our proposed method has better performance in term of both the increasing capacity and improving the quality of embedded JPEG images after data embedding.

Authors: Buenaño Guevara Karla Lizbeth , Flores Hernández Verónica Fernanda
Published: June 2023

La investigación se enfocó en el estudio de la procrastinación académica que se define como la postergación voluntaria de tareas en el ámbito académico y la autoeficacia que es entendida como las creencias propias del individuo acerca de sus propias capacidades para ejecutar una tarea. El objetivo general fue determinar la relación entre postergación de actividades y autorregulación académica que son parte de la procrastinación y la autoeficacia académica en estudiantes universitarios. El enfoque fue cuantitativo, con un diseño no experimental, de alcance descriptivo-correlacional y transversal. Se evaluó a 309 estudiantes de ambos sexos, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 a 36 años. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la Escala de Procrastinación Académica (EPA) de Busko (1998) y la Escala de Autoeficacia Percibida Específica de Situaciones Académicas (Eapesa) de Palenzuela (1983) en sus versiones adaptadas. Los hallazgos encontrados permitieron determinar que existe una correlación negativa entre autoeficacia y la dimensión postergación de actividades (p<0.010, Rho=-0.147), por otro lado, se correlaciona positivamente con la dimensión autorregulación (p<0.001, Rho=0.397), respecto a los objetivos específicos el nivel medio es el predominante en las dos dimensiones de la procrastinación académica, postergación de actividades 47.9% y autorregulación 49.2%; respecto a la autoeficacia se encontró que la media de puntuación es de 68.8, siendo el valor mínimo 25 y máximo 100, además se encontró una diferencia estadísticamente significativa de procrastinación entre hombres y mujeres.

Published: June 2023

A Avaliação Automática de Redação (do inglês, Automatic Essay Scoring - AES) tem sido tema amplamente explorado na literatura. Ela permite dispensar o esforço humano aplicado na correção de um grande número de redações em um curto espaço de tempo. A maior parte dos trabalhos se concentra no esforço de desenvolver algoritmos que sejam capazes de corrigir automaticamente textos em inglês. No entanto, para a língua portuguesa, essa ainda é uma área que está em desenvolvimento. Neste contexto, este artigo apresenta um Mapeamento Sistemático da Literatura que busca identificar as abordagens de Inteligência Artificial que estão sendo utilizadas para oferecer suporte à avaliação de redações escritas na língua portuguesa. Os principais achados deste artigo incluem os seguintes fatos: (i) as abordagens dos trabalhos selecionados costumam focar no uso de atributos extraídos do texto em vez do uso de modelos pré-treinados baseados em Deep Learning; (ii) existe prevalência de métricas tradicionais, como Precisão, Cobertura e F-Measure na validação dos resultados; (iii) os feedbacks gerados pelas abordagens possuem um baixo detalhamento; e (iv) os artigos selecionados não analisam o impacto prático em aplicações do mundo real.
Die hörbare Form der Zeit. Eine subjektzentrierte Musikphilosophie
Authors: Müller Ulrich
Published: June 2023

In a subject-philosophical perspective, a musical work embodies the creativity of a subject that has become a construction. As a temporal movement itself, it first expands internally sound-temporally as well as sound-spatially: in the form of an invented succession of tones and, derived from this by negation, also of a simultaneity of sounds (level 1). The content of this imagined temporal-spatial formation can be individual associations, feelings, sensations, moods and atmospheres, which can be conceptually interpreted as musical units (level 2). If the subjectively imagined musical units are then also successfully objectified in the musical material of the external world, the subject realizes and changes itself in it as a tonally individual expression of itself (level 3).

Efficacy of Virtual Touch Quantification Technique for Differentiating Patients with Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) from Healthy Controls
Authors: Zhang Dan , Liu Ruixing , Yu Beibei , Xu Maosheng , Zou Chunpeng
Published: June 2023

Background: The virtual touch quantification (VTQ) using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) is a type of ARFI technology, which has been widely used against many diseases. The sensitivity and specificity of VTQ in differentiating immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) patients from healthy controls remain unestablished. Objectives: The present study aimed to measure the VTQ values of renal parenchyma in patients with IgAN and to evaluate the efficacy of these values in distinguishing IgAN patients from healthy individuals. Patients and Methods: Ultrasound examinations were performed for the experimental and control groups. All routine ultrasound data, including the renal parenchymal thickness, renal volume, resistive index (RI) of interlobar renal arteries, and peak velocity of interlobar renal arteries, were collected. The VTQ values were measured in the middle and lower renal parenchyma using the VTQ technique. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the efficacy of VTQ in differentiating IgAN patients from healthy individuals. Results: The VTQ values, RI values of interlobar arteries, and peak velocity of interlobar arteries were significantly different between patients with IgAN and the controls (2.14 ± 0.31 vs. 2.62 ± 0.24 m/s, 0.68 ± 0.05 vs. 0.63 ± 0.03 m/s, and 0.56 ± 0.59 vs. 0.60 ± 0.58 m/s; P < 0.05 for all). The VTQ values were associated with the renal parenchymal thickness, peak flow velocity of interlobular arteries, and Lee’s grade (P < 0.05 for all). The ROC curve analysis revealed that VTQ values might be used as a diagnostic method for differentiating IgAN patients (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.909) from healthy controls. Conclusion: The VTQ values significantly decreased in patients with IgAN and might play an important role in distinguishing IgAN patients from healthy individuals, with high sensitivity and specificity.
Å ta bolig i seg selv – en lesning av Nora Dåsnes’ grafiske roman Ti kniver i hjertet
Authors: Häbler Camilla , Elisenberg Marion
Published: June 2023

I artikkelen retter vi et analytisk blikk mot Nora Dåsnes’ grafiske roman Ti kniver i hjertet (2020). Gjennom analysen undersøker vi hvordan formspråket i romanen presenterer en identitetstematikk for unge lesere. Både den grafiske romanens ulike verbale og visuelle uttrykk og det tematiske er gjenstand for drøfting. Analyseverktøyet baseres på bildebokteori, tegneserieteori, sosialsemiotisk teori kombinert med perspektiver på identitetsdanning. Lesningen er et forsøk på å belyse hvordan de ulike uttrykksmåtene i Dåsnes’ roman inngår i og utgjør en samlet fortelling – en livsfortelling der vennskap, forelskelse og konflikter står i relasjon til hverandre, og der Tuvas dagbok blir en bolig for hennes tanker og et sted der identitetsforming kan skje. Slik vi ser det, er det i Dåsnes’ roman tett sammenheng mellom form og innhold. Den grafiske romanen både viser og forteller sin historie. Det innebærer at formen er innholdet og innholdet er formen.
Narrative Processes, the Power of the Image,and Postmemory in a Graphic Novel: The Example of Petit-fils d’Algérie1by Joël Alessandras Petit-fils d'Algérie (2015).
Authors: Celdran Hélène
Published: June 2023

How do narrative processes serve the post-memorial project of the actorialized narrator? This is what we propose to examine here, based on a study of Joël Alessandra's Petit-fils d'Algérie, in which the author, who set out in the footsteps of his ancestors, recounts his trip to Algeria in 2014. This graphic novel has a complex narrative structure, with several narrators, temporal shifts and a great importance attached to the story’s setting. Drawing on the definition of post-memory as an indirect memory of the facts (Howell, 2015) and on the narratology of comics (Groensteen 1999, 2011, 2021), this article examines the close links between narrative processes, their visualisation and the construction of a personal memory which thereby becomes transmissible, before leading to a rapprochement with the notion of the "post-memorial subject" (Fevry, 2018).
Analysis of Non-destructive Testing for Improved Inspection and Maintenance Strategies
Authors:   Welspun Tubular, Sharma Kuldeep
Published: June 2023

A significant trouble for research is making an arrangement for the administration and upkeep of the fabricated legacy. To foster a philosophy for non-destructive testing (NDT) of substantial designs in light of the distinguishing proof of (a) the responsiveness of the NDT methods, (b) the vulnerability of the NDT estimations, and (c) the best mix of NDT strategies, a huge exploratory program was established. To decide how they are utilized in Indian legislative offices, this exploration assesses NDT strategies. The consequences of an overview poll that was dispersed to Divisions of Transportation (Specks) in all Indian states filled in as the establishment for the ends and examinations presented here. The survey was processed by a total of 28 state agencies, and the main results collected from the states are shown and thoroughly discussed in this report. Additionally, inspection-hard to-find bridge flaws and ongoing research into developing innovative NDT techniques were looked into.
McTaggart's Overlooked Second Construction of the Argument against the Reality of Time in the A-Series
Authors: Wong Wai-Hung ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: June 2023

McTaggart’s argument for the unreality of time was first published in the 1908 article “The Unreality of Time,” and a revised version appeared in the 1927 book The Nature of Existence. I argue that these two versions are significantly different. The second construction of the argument is important because it neutralizes a compelling objection. McTaggart’s initial argument tries to show that the conception of an A-series is self-contradictory. A natural objection is that the apparent contradiction can be resolved by making clear that an event has incompatible A-properties only successively. McTaggart anticipates and responds to the objection. My main contention is this: McTaggart’s initial response to the objection fails, but in the second construction of his argument he succeeds in showing that the contradiction cannot be resolved in the way suggested by the objection. I also explain why the second construction has been overlooked for so long.
Growth-Attenuation Therapy for Children with Profound Cognitive and Physical Disabilities
Authors: O’Neil Joseph , Miller Derryl ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: June 2023

The use of growth attenuation therapy (GAT) is becoming more common in order to enable a family to care for a child with profound cognitive and physical disabilities (PCPD) as they age into adulthood. The first published study on the use of GAT was done with the family of a six-year-old girl with PCPD by Daniel Gunther and Douglas Diekema in Pediatrics in 2006. The ethical application of GAT generated considerable discussion on the use among children with PCPD in the medical and ethics communities. This paper discusses the use of GAT for children with profound cognitive and physical disabilities from a Catholic bioethics perspective.
A Losing Game
Authors: Drissen Yvette ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: June 2023

This paper takes issue with the widespread claim that positional competitions are zero-sum games. It shows how the notions of ‘positional good’ and ‘positional competition’ have changed in meaning and how this has resulted in conceptual confusion in discussions amongst economists and philosophers. I argue that the Zero-Sum Claim is hardly ever true when it comes to the novel understanding of positionality that currently dominates the philosophical literature. I propose dropping the Zero-Sum Claim and construing positional competitions as win-lose. This is conceptually clearer and deepens our understanding and ethical evaluation of these important competitions in contemporary societies.
Human Rights under Emergency
Authors: Fornaroli Giulio , Rettig Cristián ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: June 2023

International human rights law allows states to derogate some of their human rights obligations in times of public emergency. This essay attempts a normative assessment of the practice of derogation. We discuss, specifically, whether derogation is compatible with the logics and morality of rights. We notice that a major inconsistency between rights and derogation derives from the unilateral character of derogation: derogating parties are assigned a power-right to annul their own rights-based obligations. This contrasts with the idea, central to rights, that rights-based obligations are owed to the right-holder. Only through consent of right-holders, we argue, can duties owed to them be modified or annulled. But whether the current practice of derogation is interpretable as a form of consent to rights infringement is highly disputable.
Apropriações conceituais bourdieusianas no ensino de Ciências para alunos surdos
Authors: Mendonça Carla Andréa Sampaio
Published: June 2023

O artigo, a partir de conceitos elaborados por Pierre Bourdieu, tem por objetivo discutir acerca do Ensino de Ciências para alunos surdos bem como fazer uma breve contextualização das abordagens metodológicas que envolvem o processo de educação desses indivíduos. Para desenvolver este artigo pautamo-nos em uma abordagem qualitativa e na análise bibliográfica. Sabemos que Pierre Bourdieu, sob uma perspectiva sociológica, desenvolveu uma teoria consistente que propicia uma rica análise das questões educacionais, apontando principalmente para a desigualdade de oportunidades no sistema escolar em função do pertencimento a classes sociais e revelando a escola como um espaço de legitimação das desigualdades sociais em desigualdades escolares. O artigo sinaliza para a necessidade de uma maior colaboração entre as áreas de pesquisas do ensino de Ciências e da educação de surdos.

Escola Sem Partido (ESP): indicativos de representações sociais de professores
Authors: Machado Laeda Bezerra , Mendes Mayara Correa da Silva
Published: June 2023

O artigo tem, como objetivo, identificar as representações sociais construídas por docentes do Ensino Médio a respeito do movimento “Escola Sem Partido” (ESP).  A Teoria das Representações Sociais foi tomada como referencial para a pesquisa. Participaram do estudo 15 docentes de Ensino Médio de Recife-PE e Região Metropolitana. Os procedimentos de coleta utilizados foram questionário e entrevista. O material foi processado pelo software IRAMUTEQ, que gerou uma nuvem de palavras e uma figura (análise de similitude). Os resultados apontam como elementos de representação social do ESP: o professor como figura central dos ataques propostos pelo movimento, posição de neutralidade dos docentes e a falta de informações sobre o ESP. Sugere-se que sejam tomadas iniciativas, sobretudo, por parte dos sindicatos junto aos professores, a fim de oferecer maiores esclarecimentos sobre o ESP e suas implicações.

Madam Curie değil Maria kürü üzerine bir film
Authors: ÇOBANLI ERDÖNMEZ Işıl
Published: June 2023

“Radyoaktivite” (2019) adlı yaşam öyküsü filmi, Madam Curie olarak bildiğimiz ünlü bilim insanı, Nobel ödüllü Maria Curie’nin hayatına odaklanmaktadır. Maria'nın yaşamını hem toplumsal roller hem de kadın bir bilim insanının duruşu açısından yansıtmaktadır. Metinlerarası tür analizi olarak baktığımızda, kültür sunumu olarak kitlesel tarzı nedeniyle eleştirel metin incelemesi, feminist ve toplumsal yaklaşım ile gömülü teori ile aydınlatılmaya odaklanacaktır. Metinlerin doğrusal tek bir izlenim bırakmadığı günümüz toplumunda birden fazla bakış açısının yansıtılması bu anlamda gereklidir. Konunun yeniden-üretimi de sinema dilinde görüldüğünden gerçekçi anlatım yerini kurgulu anlatıma bırakmaktadır. Bu göstergebilimsel yaklaşım da sahne geçişlerinde kendini gösterebilmektedir. Kısmen durumlarda anlam arayışı, metinlerarası ifadenin önüne geçebilmekte, medya bir araç olarak izlerkitleye duygu aktarımını geçirebilmektedir. 1900’lü yılların başında bilimle uğraşmak için gerekli kaynak, zaman ve ortam zaten kısıtlıyken; bir de üstüne bir kadın olarak bu duruşun içinde tutunmaya çalışması, Maria Sklodowska’yı tek başına mücadele edeceği bir döneme yönlendirirken, film akışı içinde kronolojik olarak bu geçişleri görmekte ve toplumsal yansımalarını her alanda görür niteliktedir.
