Czy Polacy jadają łabędzie?
Authors: Czech Franciszek
Published: July 2023

Celem artykułu jest wykazanie, że kategorie legend miejskich oraz fałszywych wiadomości mogą znaleźć zastosowanie w badaniach nad relacjami międzykulturowymi. W pierwszej części przybliżono, czym są legendy miejskie i fałszywe informacje na tle innych problematycznych narracji, takich jak teorie spiskowe, panika moralna i makroplotki. Drugą część stanowi studium przypadku legendy miejskiej dotyczącej imigrantów łamiących tabu kulturowe polegające na spożywaniu mięsa łabędzi. Szczegółowa analiza tego przypadku pozwala w ostatniej części artykułu wykazać, jak legendy miejskie i fałszywe wiadomości kształtują za sprawą mechanizmów banalnego stereotypizowania relacje między różnymi grupami kulturowymi i mogą się przyczyniać do naruszenia bezpieczeństwa kulturowego.

Authors: Wakuła Monika , Krukowski Krzysztof , Zastępowski Maciej , Kożuch Artur J.
Published: July 2023

Zmiana jest zjawiskiem nieodłącznie związanym z funkcjonowaniem wszystkich organizacji, w tym także organizacji publicznych. Wprowadzanie zmian wiąże się z niechęcią i oporem ze strony pracowników. Na użytek badań zawartych w niniejszym artykule przyjęto, że opór należy postrzegać jako wielowymiarową postawę wobec zmiany, obejmującą komponenty afektywne, poznawcze i behawioralne. Celem przeprowadzonych badań jest identyfikacja stwierdzeń opisujących postawy wobec zmian i ich ocena przez pracowników organizacji publicznych. Kwestionariusz ankiety zawierał 14 stwierdzeń, które oceniane były przez pracowników różnych organizacji publicznych. Uzyskane wyniki badań w większości przypadków wskazują na pesymistyczne postawy pracowników wobec wprowadzonych zmian wynikające przede wszystkim ze zmęczenia wprowadzanymi zmianami, nieuwzględniania przez organizacje faktu, że ciągłe zmiany niszczą relacje między ludźmi, oraz obawy przed utratą pracowników na skutek przeprowadzanych zmian. Ocena postaw jest istotnie zróżnicowane w szczególności poprzez rodzaj instytucji oraz poziom zaangażowania pracowników w implementację zmian, będący wynikiem pełnionych funkcji czy kwalifikacji.

Authors: Nazarova Iryna
Published: July 2023

Introduction. The widespread introduction of modern electronic information and communication technologies into the economy requires a rethinking of the theoretical foundations of accounting. The current accounting methodology, based on the documentation of economic transactions, their reflection on accounts by double entry, balance sheet summarization, was initiated several centuries ago. With the development of automated systems, the latest information technologies for the formation, processing and transmission of information, there is a need of developing of a new accounting paradigm that would reflect not only the new information requests of a wide range of information consumers, but also take into account radical changes in accounting techniques.Purpose. The purpose of the study is to generalize the existing developments regarding the paradigmatic development of accounting science and to provide proposals for the development of a new accounting paradigm, based on modern information and communication technologies, the new role of accounting as an important economic institution.Methods. General scientific and empirical methods of knowledge and generalization of past and present processes and phenomena are used to reveal the purpose of the article.\Results. The existing developments regarding the paradigmatic development of accounting science are summarized. The main features and criteria of each stage of accounting development are defined. The need for the formation of a new accounting paradigm based on the current circumstances in the world economy and society is substantiated. The main criteria that characterize the modern accounting paradigm and distinguish it from the previous ones are the new purpose and tasks of accounting, the introduction of intellectual resources into the accounting system, new approaches to resource assessment. However, the development and introduction of electronic accounting and information systems, which have a significant impact on the methodological and organizational foundations of accounting, collection, registration, processing, storage and transmission of accounting and reporting information, can be considered the main factor in the change of the accounting paradigm.Perspectives. Further research can be aimed at improving methodological, organizational and technical tools for the practical implementation of a new accounting paradigm based on modern electronic accounting and information systems.

Published: July 2023

Batam City is one of the industrial cities that is quite attractive to investors. The publication of the Batam City Concession Agency shows that there are 1,309 leading industries with a total of 169,000 workers. This affects the increase in population and changes in land use. This study aims to analyze the driving and inhibiting factors of land use change and predict land use, especially settlements in Batam City in 2041 using the cellular automata method. Factors driving land use change are proximity to industrial areas, existing settlements, trade and service areas, office areas, transportation facilities, health facilities, and arterial roads. Weighting using AHP shows the biggest weight on the existing settlement factor. Factors inhibiting changes in land use consist of protected mangrove forests, as well as areas whose existence needs to be maintained such as airport/port areas, industrial areas, trade and services, and offices. Predictions show that settlement land has grown to 15,872 hectares, open land has decreased by 1,366 hectares, agriculture has decreased by 1,195 hectares, forests have decreased by 656 hectares.

Thermophilic bacteria are a group of procaryotic organisms that can grow in high temperature around 450C until 900C. Thermophilic bacteria are able to produce lipase thermostable enzyme. Lipase thermostable enzymes produced from thermophilic bacteria are able to catalyze the hydrolysis of triglycerides into glycerol and free fatty acids and the synthesis of esters in organic solvents. Lipase thermostable enzymes are potential to be used in industrial production. Lipase enzymes have been used for the production of laundry detergents as additives or to replace chemical detergents because of their environmental friendliness. This research was aimed to isolates and identified themophilic bacteria from Lahendong hot springs, North Sulawesi and to conduct the morphological characterization, biochemical test, and molecular identification with 16S rRNA. Results showed that isolates obtained from the- Lahendong hot spring have high similarities with Geobacillus kaustophilus, Bacillus cereus, and Geobacillus lituanicus. The three isolates are able to produce lipase thermostbale enzyme.

Risk management of Islamic microfinance institutions: unique practices at crucial risks
Authors: Wafi Sholeh , Muhammad Helmi
Published: July 2023

The objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of risk management and control practices at BMT UGT Nusantara, an Islamic microfinance institution in Indonesia, with a particular emphasis on financing risk, liquidity risk, and Sharia compliance risk. These three risks are said to occur frequently and have a direct impact on performance. Because of the uniqueness of the site, the design of this qualitative research is descriptive and exploratory with a holistic single-case approach. In-depth interviews, field observations, focus group discussions, and a review of supporting documents were used to collect data. Because the interactive cycle process includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and data withdrawal, data analysis employs an interactive model. The data was validated using the criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The study's findings show that BMT UGT Nusantara, an Islamic microfinance institution in Indonesia, employs traditional-partial risk management on financing risk, liquidity risk, and Sharia compliance risk. Risk management is carried out by integrating "macul bumi", or outward efforts based on sincerity, and "macul langit", or spiritual efforts. Furthermore, it employs information systems that play an important role in risk management in order to improve organizational performance and competitive advantage.

The environmental damage that has occurred so far has sparked concern and concern for the global community. The problem of environmental damage has also received the attention of the wider community, especially Indonesian consumers, starting from air pollution, water pollution, and most phenomenal is the problem of waste pollution. This paper aims to investigate the effects of consumer buying behavior on green products in Indonesia by linking several variables, including prosocial attitudes, green consumption values, and green communication. We conducted questionnaires and obtained data from 220 respondents, which were processed using PLS-SEM. We employed a hybrid analytics method, namely descriptive and statistical analysis using SmartPLS 3. This study shows that (i) prosocial attitudes significantly had a positive effect on green consumption value, (ii) green consumption value significantly had a positive effect on green communication, and (iii) green consumption value significantly had a positive effect on purchasing behavior. Finally, (iv) green communication positively affected purchasing behavior. Lastly, this study provides practical insights into identifying innovation opportunities for green products. Understanding consumer preferences and behavior toward green products enable managers to make effective and competitive marketing and branding decisions.
Egocentric, Altruistic, or Hypocritic?: A Cross-Cultural Study of Choice between Pedestrian-first and Driver-first of Autonomous Car
Authors: Shigeharu Ono, , Yumi Okazaki, , Keigo Kanetsuna, , Mizumoto Masaharu
Published: July 2023

How should the autonomous car behave when faced with an unavoidable fatal accident? The answer may vary depending on the perspective from which the choice is made. If people answer this question as a driver, choosing a car that prioritizes the driver’s safety looks egocentric, and choosing a car that prioritizes pedestrians’ safety looks altruistic. On the other hand, if people’s attitudes change depending on whether one’s choice is visible to others, this time that looks hypocritic if they tend to choose the pedestrian-first car when others can see the choice. At the same time, we may also expect that these answers vary culturally. However, if there are such cultural differences, that should affect policies of governments, lawmakers, car manufacturers, and marketers. To investigate people’s safety preference from the driver’s perspective and their possible hypocritic tendency, together with its possible cultural variance, we conducted a survey (N = 683) with Japanese, Chinese, and American participants. We found some interesting and unexpected cultural differences in their answers, which should provide valuable new data for future discussions on the issues surrounding the autonomous car.
Multi-Channel Attacks Review
Authors: Thankappan Manesh
Published: July 2023

Multi-Channel Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks are special MitM attacks capable of manipulating encrypted wireless frames between two legitimate endpoints. Since its inception in 2014, attackers have been targeting Wi-Fi networks to perform different attacks, such as cipher downgrades, denial of service, key reinstallation attacks (KRACK) in 2017, and recently FragAttacks in 2021, which widely impacted millions of Wi-Fi devices, especially IoT devices. To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies in the literature that holistically review the different types of Multi-Channel MitM enabled attacks and analyze their potential impact. To this end, we evaluate the capabilities of Multi-Channel MitM and review every reported attack in the state of the art. We examine practical issues that hamper the total adoption of protection mechanisms, i.e., security patches and Protected Management Frames (PMF), and review available defense mechanisms in confronting the Multi-Channel MitM enabled attacks in the IoT context. Finally, we highlight the potential research problems and identify future research lines in this field.

Multi-timescale Power System Operations for Electrolytic Hydrogen Generation in Integrated Nuclear-Renewable Energy Systems
Authors: Rahman Jubeyer , Jacob Roshni , Zhang Jie
Published: July 2023

This study explores how sector coupling via In- tegrated energy systems (IES) can improve the operational flexibility of the power grid, while hydrogen is gaining traction as a versatile energy carrier. Specifically, we have evaluated the operational benefits of integrating two electrolytic processes for hydrogen generation, namely low-temperature electrolysis (LTE) and high-temperature steam electrolysis (HTSE), into a nuclear- renewable IES using a 3-cycle power system operation frame- work. Detailed steady-state models of the electrolytic hydrogen generating facilities are constructed, with the HTSE process represented using standard transient models to account for the steam-bypass scheme from the nuclear reactor. These models are then integrated into a renewable-intensive power network model (specifically, the NREL 118-bus system). To simulate the operation of the integrated system across multiple timescales, a multi-timescale scheduling and dispatch tool is employed. Results indicate that while both electrolytic processes contribute to signif- icant flexibility enhancement and renewable energy curtailment reduction, the LTE process offers more operational benefits than the HTSE process across multiple timescales. 
Tomography of the quantity of grass using RFID propagation-based sensing
Authors: Le Breton Mathieu , Baillet Laurent , Larose Eric
Published: July 2023

Passive RFID tags have diverse low-cost sensing applications, with sensors either connected to the tag or the tag antenna acting as a sensor, allowing close-range measurements. However, an emerging approach utilizes wave propagation for remote sensing without physical contact. This study investigates how wave propagation across dense grass alters the phase difference of arrival, enabling the estimation of vegetation volume ratio. A tag positioned 19 meters from the reader is moved vertically into a dense grass medium, then without grass. By analyzing the change in phase meas-urements caused by the wave slowness in the medium, the grass volume ratio can be estimated. The RFID-based estimate of 0.75% aligns with the 0.53% ob-tained from weight measurements. Looking forward, this method might help to monitor crops in agriculture, but also to sense other complex medium.
Power Transfer between Two Antenna Arrays in the Near Field
Authors: Tiwari Krishan Kumar , Caire Giuseppe
Published: July 2023

This letter presents numerical results with a focus on power transfer between two antenna arrays placed in the near field, where a much smaller active multi-antenna feeder (AMAF) center feeds a far larger passive array referred to as a reflective intelligent surface (RIS). The AMAF is configured along the principal eigenmode of the AMAF-RIS propagation matrix T. The interest is in the regime of f/D less than unity. The power transfer coefficient deviates from the classical distance dependent inverse square law model. This is due to the natural taper across the RIS aperture at such small f/D ratios. In addition, the behavior of the power transfer coefficient is more sensitive to the f/D ratio than to a specific RIS size. We also see that the center feed is more power efficient than end feed.

Published: July 2023

The demand for artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is rapidly increasing. However, significant challenges arise from data scarcity and privacy concerns, particularly in medical imaging. While existing generative models have achieved success in image synthesis and image-to-image translation tasks, there remains a gap in the generation of 3D semantic medical images. To address this gap, we introduce Med-DDPM, a diffusion model specifically designed for semantic 3D medical image synthesis, effectively tackling data scarcity and privacy issues. The novelty of Med-DDPM lies in its incorporation of semantic conditioning, enabling precise control during the image generation process. Our model outperforms Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) in terms of stability and performance, generating diverse and anatomically coherent images with high visual fidelity. Comparative analysis against state-of-the-art augmentation techniques demonstrates that Med-DDPM produces comparable results, highlighting its potential as a data augmentation tool for enhancing model accuracy. In conclusion, Med-DDPM pioneers 3D semantic medical image synthesis by delivering high-quality and anatomically coherent images. Furthermore, the integration of semantic conditioning with Med-DDPM holds promise for image anonymization in the field of biomedical imaging, showcasing the capabilities of the model in addressing challenges related to data scarcity and privacy concerns. Our code and model weights are publicly accessible on our GitHub repository at https://github.com/mobaidoctor/med-ddpm/, facilitating reproducibility.
Surface Virus Inactivation by Non-Thermal Plasma Flow Reactor
Authors: Tang Anthony , Ong Angelo , Beck Nicola , Meschke John S. , Novosselov Igor V.
Published: July 2023

Infectious viruses can survive on surfaces for hours; they can be
responsible for the fomite transmission mechanism of many diseases. We
report the development and evaluation of a compact non-thermal plasma
(NTP) flow reactor and its application for disinfection of surfaces. The
concentric flow reactor produces a high concentration of reactive
species by ionizing air flow passed through the reactor; the ionized jet
exiting the reactor is impinged on the surface, exposing pathogens to
high concentrations of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The reactor
performance is characterized by measuring ozone concentration for
various geometries and operating conditions. The ozone concentration
reaches saturation at the exit for electrical power input above 100 W.
The approach was tested for the inactivation of MS2 bacteriophage on
surfaces with varied exposure times. We observed a 1.3 log reduction in
viable virus counts at the exposure of 30 s and a 5.3 log reduction at
120 s exposure. The ozone production rates suggest that the reactor can
be scaled to operate at higher flow rates, producing a concentration of
reactive species sufficient for virus inactivation.
Investigating the Practicality of Existing Reinforcement Learning Algorithms: A Performance Comparison
Authors: Dizon-Paradis Olivia , Wormald Stephen , Capecci Daniel , Bhandarkar Avanti , Woodard Damon
Published: July 2023

Abstract---Reinforcement learning (RL) has become more popular due to promising results in applications such as chat-bots, healthcare, and autonomous driving. However, one significant challenge in current RL research is the difficulty in understanding which RL algorithms, if any, are practical for a given use case. Few RL algorithms are rigorously tested, and hence understood, for their practical implications. Although there are a number of performance comparisons in literature, many use few environments and do not consider real-world limitations such as run-time and memory usage. Furthermore, many works do not make their code publicly accessible for others to use. This paper addresses this gap by presenting the most comprehensive performance comparison on the practicality of RL algorithms known to date. Specifically, this paper focuses on discrete, model-free deep RL algorithms for their practicality in real-world problems where efficient implementations are necessary. In total, fourteen RL algorithms were trained on twenty-three environments (468 environment instances), which collectively required 224 GB and 766 days CPU time to run all experiments, and 1.7 GB to store all models. Overall, the results indicate several shortcomings in RL algorithms' exploration efficiency, memory/sample efficiency, and space/time complexity. Based on these shortcomings, numerous opportunities for future works were identified to improve the capabilities of modern algorithms. This paper’s findings will help researchers and practitioners improve and employ RL algorithms in time-sensitive and resource-constrained applications such as economics, cybersecurity, and Internet of Things (IoT).  

Impact Statement---Reinforcement learning (RL) technologies are commonly used in autonomous driving, chat-bot, and business analytic applications. They learn how to adapt to unforeseen situations, reducing the load on human drivers, support teams, and analysts. Although there are a variety of theoretical works in RL literature, very few algorithms are tested and evaluated to facilitate their use in real-life scenarios. The performance comparison introduced in this paper addresses these limitations. The performance analysis framework, re-implemented source code, and findings identified in this study could increase the adoption and speed development of RL technologies in more real-life applications. Moreover, the open challenges, recommendations, and practical implications identified in this paper could facilitate collaboration and development of new technologies among researchers and practitioners in industry and academia.

Stochastic Modeling and Inference for Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Al Ahdab Mohamad , Papež Milan , Knudsen Torben , Aradóttir Tinna Björk , Schmidt Signe , Nørgaard Kirsten , Leth John
Published: July 2023

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common metabolic disorder that poses threat to human health. Blood glucose (BG) concentrations in T2D subjects can be influenced by various factors, such as stress, physical activity, and meal consumption. Obtaining personalized mathematical models for people with T2D can be beneficial for developing effective T2D management strategies, such as insulin dosing algorithms. However, fitting these models for T2D subjects can be challenging due to the limited data typically available during treatment, consisting of only Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) readings and injected insulin amounts. To address this issue, we propose a stochastic jump diffusion model that incorporates the uncertainties from meal consumption behavior together with other disturbances. Additionally, we provide an inference strategy that enables us to estimate both physiological (e.g., insulin sensitivity) and behavioral (e.g., average number of meals per day) parameters using only CGM data and injected insulin amounts. We validate the proposed stochastic model and inference strategy with synthetic and clinical data, assessing their ability to estimate various parameters of the model and fit CGM data. The results demonstrate that our proposed method, along with the model, manages to estimates parameters with different interquartile range (IQR) values. Moreover, the model, in combination with the method, provide a good fit for CGM data, and demonstrates the ability to obtain estimates of unannounced meal times.
