A New "Intersection" Method for Multi-Objective Optimization in Material Selection
Authors: Zheng Maosheng , Wang Yi , Teng Haipeng
Published: November 2021

Till now the previous methods for multi-objective optimization adopt the "additive" algorithm for the normalized evaluation indexes, which has the inherent shortcoming of taking the form of "union" in the viewpoint of set theory. In fact, "simultaneous optimization of multiple indexes" should be more appropriate to take the form of "intersection" for the normalized evaluation indexes in the respects of set theory and "joint probability" in probability theory. In this paper, a new concept of favorable probability is proposed to reflect the favorable degree of the candidate material in the selection; All material property indicators are divided into beneficial or unbeneficial types to the material selection; Each material property indicator correlates to a partial favorable probability quantitatively, and the total favorable probability of a candidate material is the product of all partial favorable probabilities in the viewpoints of "intersection" of set theory and "joint probability" in probability theory, which is the sole decisive index in the competitive selection process. Results of the application examples indicate the validity of the new method.

La narrativa periodística colombiana sobre la violencia y el crimen: de la construcción del miedo a la adopción de medidas de fuerza
Authors: Cruz Baena Ricardo León
Published: November 2021

La inseguridad emerge hoy día como la principal preocupación de los ciudadanos colombianos e incluso de América Latina. En términos objetivos, se registra un aumento de hechos delictivos como los atracos callejeros, el hurto a residencias y automotores, así como en otro tipo de violencias, como de género, sexual e intrafamiliar, en las principales ciudades del país. Pero no basta con ser víctima de un delito para sentirse inseguro. Hay una percepción generalizada entre los ciudadanos de una creciente inseguridad; percepción construida en buena medida por los relatos que diariamente circulan en los medios de comunicación y las redes sociales. Al reconocer –y sustentar– la importancia de los medios de comunicación masiva en la construcción de un imaginario colectivo de inseguridad, la pregunta es si ello está creando un ambiente favorable para la adopción de medidas de choque que registren libertades individuales y tiendan hacia una militarización de la vida cotidiana.
La violencia sociocultural en contextos locales: prácticas, formas y expresiones de la violencia escolar en la ciudad de Manizales.
Authors: Martínez Herrera Óscar Fernando
Published: November 2021

Se busca reconocer las formas, expresiones y prácticas de la violencia social (instaurada institucionalmente) y la violencia cultural (emergente de las relaciones en comunidad) que se desarrollan en contextos particulares en zonas urbanas. No obstante, para la presente investigación se acotó particularmente el fenómeno a contextos escolares. Se realizó un estudio de caso, donde de manera correlacional se reconocieron las expresiones de violencia cultural insertas en el contexto educativo, ya sean derivadas del entorno social o del medio escolar, haciendo énfasis en casos tipológicos de violencia escolar identificados. El presente texto es resultado de una investigación en desarrollo que intenta analizar teórica y conceptualmente la articulación entre la educación como proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y su relación con expresiones y prácticas de violencia simbólica o física en el medio escolar. Para esta investigación se particularizó en las dimensiones de la violencia cultural, desde tres expresiones particulares: la violencia por matoneo, la violencia tribal o simbólica y la violencia hacia los actores “normalizados” en contextos educativos. El análisis busca dar cuenta de cómo la violencia cultural en contextos escolares es un fenómeno en crecimiento, cuyas dimensiones estructurantes apenas estamos develando y correlacionando en los estudios sociales contemporáneos.
The symbolic meaning of the Sandeq boat making process among the Mandarese
Authors: Sonni Alem Febri , Amrullah Muhammad , Bahfiarti Tuti
Published: November 2021

This article aims to explain the symbolic meaning in the process of making the traditional sandeq boat of the Mandar people. The data collection process was carried out from April to June 2017. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 6 purposively selected expert informants, as well as direct observation in the field. The results of this study indicate that the ritual that accompanies the making of the traditional sandeq boat is seen in three main stages, namely: at the beginning of boat building, in the process of making boats, and launching boats into the sea. The meaning contained in the implementation of the ritual is the hope that it will always be given safety in using the boat. In addition, the ritual also intends to ask for abundant sustenance from the process of going to sea later. The religious value of the Mandar people is clearly seen from every stage of the ritual carried out, using mantras and prayers as verbal messages adopted from the Quran and with Islamic nuances. In addition, nonverbal messages in the ritual of making sandeq boats are centered on the use of ussul or the knowledge system of the local community which is carried out with actions or symbolic objects to show their hopes or desires.

Published: November 2021

In the work with the use of nondestructive control methods, the issues of determining acceptable durability or safe resource are considered. It is shown that the design monitoring procedure can be presented as follows: determines the original state zero zone, where the material of the product was subjected to low operational loads; further, with the use of nondestructive control methods, the acoustic parameter is measured (without disassembling the product)., such as the speed of elastic acoustic waves, nonlinear acoustic parameter, difference of velocities with twofrequency sensing, etc.; acoustic scanning of the product's metal is performed, in areas where there have been significant loads, signoff voltages, leading to an intensive accumulation of damage (the destruction of metal leading to cracks); defined zone “N” where the metal state parameter, for which the value is taken, characterizing the difference of the acoustic parameter (the speed of elastic waves, nonlinear acoustic parameter, the difference in velocity in twofrequency sensing) relative to the same parameter in the zone of zero exceeds the established level. The regularities established in the work linking the presence of plastic deformation with the difference in the delays (velocity) of elastic Rayleigh waves at different sounding frequencies at a fixed base between the emitter and the receiver of elastic waves, as well as the behavior of a nonlinear acoustic parameter during the safe resource time, suggest the possibility of using the observd fact as a principle for controlling the limiting state of the material due to plastic deformations on industrial structures. Based on the proposed approach, an engineering methodology for determining the technical condition of the material of the structures of production facilities is proposed, which allows to establish three stages of operation: the reliable operation mode; the controlled operation mode and the critical operation mode.

Research of reserves for increasing profitability of construction enterprises
Authors: Sorokina L.V. , Hoyko A.F.
Published: November 2021

The article analyzes the trends of financial results of construction companies during 2010 - 2019 by studying the slope of the trend line in the periods before and after 2014. The configuration features and the parameters of the equations of trend dependences of the share of profitable enterprises by type of construction activity. For the slope coefficients of the trend equations, a cluster analysis was performed using the C-means method, and the reliability of the results of the obtained cluster partitioning was proved. The criteria for restoring the profitability of the construction industry are substantiated, which are based on the results of a cluster analysis of the share growth of profitable enterprises in terms of the main areas of construction activity. Authors conducted a study of the segment of consumers that use services of small construction enterprises, represented by urban households. The results of it allowed, first, to structure potential consumers of services for overhaul and construction depending on their resources, and secondly, to quantify the impact of key components of cash flow and current consumer cost on purchasing power of the analyzed segment, thirdly, to establish reserves to increase the income of contractors in the segment and the possibility of reducing them. By constructing and analyzing the configuration of the distribution curve of expenditures on capital repairs and construction of urban households, its inconsistency with the conditions of the Pareto rule was established: instead of 20:80, about 20% of income in the construction market segment is provided by 47% of the poorest households. The other part, almost 80%, is formed by 53% of households with higher incomes. The threshold value of household income per 1 person is substantiated, failure to achieve which leads to savings in costs for repair and construction services. Its value is 6,000 UAH / month in 2019 prices.

Review of Ad Hoc Networks scenarios and challenges in years 2015-2019
Authors: Saad Amna , Osman Husna , Mukaz Ebedon Mufind
Published: November 2021

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) protocol performance analysis depends on the type of simulation tools, mobility models, and metrics used. These parameters' choice is crucial to researchers because it may produce an inaccurate result if it is not well chosen. The challenges researcher is facing are on the choice of these four parameters. Our survey shows an inclination to used Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector routing (AODV) for performance comparison and enhancement of it by the researcher. Network simulation 2 (NS2) was the most selected tool, but we observe a decline in its utilization in recent years. Random Waypoint Mobility model (RWPM) was the most used mobility model. We have found a high percentage of the published article did not mention the mobility models use; this will make the result difficult for performance comparison with other works. Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), End to End Delay (E2ED) were the most used metrics. Some authors have self-developed their simulation tools; the authors have also used new metrics and protocols to get a particular result based on their research objective. However, some criteria of choosing a protocol, metrics, mobility model, and simulation tool were not described, decreasing the credibility of their papers' results. Improvement needs to be done in the Ad-hoc network in terms of benchmark, acceptable scenario parameters. This survey will give the best practice to be used and some recommendations to the Ad-hoc network community.
Deep Learning Approach for cognitive competency assessment in Computer Programming subject
Authors: Arfah Baharudin Shahidatul , Lajis Adidah
Published: November 2021

This research examines the competencies that are essential for an lecturer or instructor to evaluate the student based on automated assessments. The competencies are the skills, knowledge, abilities and behavior that are required to perform the task given, whether in a learning or a working environment. The significance of this research is that it will assist students who are having difficulty learning a Computer Programming Language course to identify their flaws using a Deep Learning Approach. As a result, higher education institutions have a problem with assessing students based on their competency level because; they still use manual assessment to mark the assessment. In order to measure intelligence, it is necessary to identify the cluster of abilities or skills of the type in which intelligence expresses itself. This grouping of skills and abilities referred to as "competency". Then, an automated assessment is a problem-solving activity in which the student and the computer interact with no other human intervention. This review focuses on collecting different techniques that have been used. In addition, the review finding shows the main gap that exists within the context of the studied areas, which contributes to our key research topic of interest.

Breve análisis de la democracia en la educación según Dewey, Freire y Prieto
Authors: Esparza Romo Venecia Montserrat
Published: November 2021

Aunque con el paso del tiempo, las tendencias político-liberales cambiaron completamente su sentido, no se puede entender directamente en qué puede consistir algo como la democracia, esto apelando a ejemplos de la desigualdad descarada que se vive en todo el mundo. Este ensayo no pretende enumerar todos los casos de desigualdad, tampoco se propone hablar del significado de la democracia a lo largo de la historia; el motivo es hablar, a un nivel muy general, del sentido de la democracia en la educación como un ideal que tiene que prevalecer en lo académico. Retomaremos algunos personajes visionarios que cambiaron la forma en el cómo se educa, expondremos de qué manera es importante su método educativo para la concepción de una educación, ligada a un ideal democrático. Finalizaré llegando, de una manera muy particular, al concepto de democracia en la educación y él por qué se considera que es un valor integral para educar.
La creencia cristiana: su justificación en la actualidad
Authors: Bravo Ponce Andrei
Published: November 2021

La presencia del pensamiento católico-cristiano en la realidad mexicana sigue siendo una parte importante del ideario personal de muchos mexicanos por ser parte de una tradición occidental que contempla creencias judías, griegas, romanas y cristianas. El desarrollo de la cultura en Occidente ha sido permeado, indudablemente, por la tradición de la religión cristiana. Gran parte de la idiosincrasia de las sociedades occidentales sigue conservando símbolos provenientes de la ideología cristiana. La inquietud surge sobre un tema que parecería obvio para la cultura occidental y particularmente para la cultura mexicana, precisamente por ese carácter de obviedad que se le otorga a un área de la cultura que aparece tan cercana al análisis y que, sin embargo, no tiene la suficiente crítica.

Authors: PUTRI Citra Eka , HAMZAH Radja Erland , PUTRI Yarsita Dwiokta
Published: November 2021

Eyecandy is a rubrik in the adult men's magazine “Popular”, featuring sensual content from many of its models, and what happens when the rubric is interpreted critically by female readers. When the workers and editors at the magazine are dominated by men who have full power in determining the value of women in a society's social life through the discourse that appears in it. Meanwhile, women are positioned as objects that do not have the power to determine these values. The purpose of this study is how audience reception interprets the perspective of critical discourse on the text wrapped in the pose of a woman's body shape in the eyecandy rubric in the December 2017 issue of "Popular" magazine. This research uses a qualitative approach with the study method of critical discourse reception by Norman Fairclough's model. The results of the research show that the text in the eyecandy rubric gives a sensual meaning, where that meaning still binds women as the main sexual commodity that is traded in the form of visual objects. The text is only a complementary narrative of the many sensual poses of female models. The production in the process of making this text is dominated by men, where men seem to understand very well how a text and images are used as representations of attractiveness that is able to attract their people, thus proving that women are objects of sexuality where the media constructs according to the wishes of their male readers.

Published: November 2021

There are many ways that community groups do to survive during the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus. One way to survive is done by one of the community groups to work together by planting vegetables that can be consumed as daily food ingredients that are filling and nutritious. Over time, the community realized that its strategy to survive could also be materially profitable. Self-harvested vegetable products can be developed into commercial products with a marketing strategy that combines websites and merchandise strategies.

One of the main problems faced by the community is that the community has not adequately understood the strategy for managing and developing a website. However, the community already knows the usefulness of the website and how website development can benefit the community, not only in terms of selling vegetables but also community awareness that is easier to build. Furthermore, with public awareness, more parties will know the products produced by the community. Public awareness will also positively impact the sustainability of the business ecosystem in the community.

The existence of synergies, the right strategy in managing and developing websites, collaboration with the community, and community awareness will have a good impact, especially for the community, not only in growing businesses to survive but also in being an example for others communities.

Authors: SALAM Matthew Wilson , SUADAMARA Rein
Published: November 2021

With the occurrence of emerging technology, the world faces the risk of jobs being automated in the future. Labor automation itself refers to substituting technology for human labor to perform specific task or jobs. This study aims to find out whether this claim is applicable to Indonesia as a newly industrialized country and what can be done to resolve this issue? To test the hypothesis of how Labor automation can be applicable to Indonesia, this research aims to analyze the impact on how technology on jobs and what variables might be replaced in the future—using predictions from past statistics comparing how these past few years have changed with the development of technology. The research analyzed previous relevant studies on automation, how opportunities get created, how jobs get transformed, and what challenges are posed by emerging technologies. The major challenges that may be faced in this case is unemployment due to disappearing labor jobs. These results suggest that Indonesia will still be impacted with the risk of labor jobs being automated. On this basis, to prevent major unemployment issue, Indonesia needs to raise awareness for the younger generation to prepare for their future better, by enriching them with skills and ability to adapt with continuous changes.
Un viaggio nel mio nostos. La comunità siciliana globale di Delia tra tradizioni, teatro, dialetto ed italiese
Authors: Bancheri Salvatore
Published: November 2021

L'articolo prende avvio da una riflessione privata sul sentimento del nostos che ha caratterizzato (e continua a caratterizzare) la vita di migliaia di italiani in emigrazione. La dimensione privata è però solamente un input per considerare il nostos e la sua valorizzazione anche da un punto di vista istituzionale e accademico, sia di ricerca letteraria che linguistica. Sono analizzate le opere in chiave migratoria della letteratura siciliana moderna e contemporanea, in particolare di due scrittori di Delia: Stefano Vilardo e Lina Riccobene. Sul piano linguistico è proposto un riferimento all’italiese come linguaggio creativo del nostos, una lingua a sé stante nello spazio linguistico italiano globale, capace di creare identità personale e sociale a gruppi di persone intragenerazionali.
Cost-utility analysis of evolocumab in patients with ASCVD in Italy
Authors: Marcellusi Andrea , Bini Chiara , Rotundo Maria Assunta , Arcangeli Emanuela , Martinez Laura , Sorio Vilela Francesc , Mennini Francesco Saverio
Published: November 2021

Objective: The aim of this work was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of evolocumab in addition to standard statin therapy with or without ezetimibe in the treatment of patients with clinically evident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) with levels of LDL-C above 100 mg/dL.
Method: A theoretical cohort of patients was forecast by a Markov model that includes 11 health states for a lifetime horizon. In the base-case, the standard therapy was characterized by statins with or without ezetimibe. Two sub-populations have been considered, Recent MI (Myocardial Infarction in the last year) and Multiple events (population with multiple MI). The results were also presented for a subset of the Multiple events populations consisting of patients who have experienced a myocardial infarction (MI) in the last year.
Results: For the Recent MI and Multiple events populations, ICER values of € 39,547 and € 35,744 respectively were estimated. The value of ICER was lower for the Multiple events with MI < 1 year population (€ 29,949). Considering statins with ezetimibe as standard therapy, ICER values were found to be equal to € 39,781, € 35,986 and € 30,190 respectively for the populations Recent MI, Multiple events and Multiple events with MI < 1 year.
Conclusions: The estimated ICER values for the Recent MI, Multiple events and Multiple events populations with MI < 1 year were below the cost-effectiveness threshold of € 40,000, suggesting therefore how the treatment with evolocumab in addition to the standard therapy can be a cost-effective treatment both compared to standard therapy with statins and standard therapy with statins + ezetimibe.

Methods: Included in this study were panoramic radiographs of 3637 Turkish pediatric patients aged 7–12 years (1819 males and 1818 females), whose panoramic radiographs were taken. . The prevalence of premolar hypodontia, sex distribution, distribution of premolar hypodontia in the maxilla and mandible, unilateral/bilateral incidences and cutoff ages were examined in radiographs.

Results: The prevalence rate of agenesis of one or more premolars was 3.1% (n = 111) for both sexes combined, and 1.4% for boys and 1.6% for girls, with no significant difference between the sexes (p = 0.498). No significant difference was observed between younger and older groups at the cutoff ages examined

Conclusion: An early diagnosis of premolar agenesis enables ideal and conservative treatment planning, which may involve less invasive treatment options for patients diagnosed in the early period. For these reasons, the awareness of dentists regarding these treatments should be enhanced. Therefore, there is a need for more studies regarding the prevalence of this condition, which will provide important clinical value in the timely diagnosis of hypodontia.

Objective: The onset, severity and progression of periodontal diseases are mainly related to the inflammatory host response against periodontal pathogens. The aim of this study was to evaluate salivary interleukin (IL) -1β, IL-13, IL-21 and IL-33 levels in patients with stage III grade C periodontitis and compare it with periodontally healthy individuals. Methods: A total of 58 individuals, including 28 periodontally healthy and 30 stage III grade C periodontitis patients were included in this study. Periodontal parameters including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were measured. Saliva samples were obtained from all patients. Salivary interleukin (IL) -1β, IL-13, IL21, IL-33 levels were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: All clinical parameters were significantly higher in periodontitis patients compared to healthy individuals (p

Societal and scientific perspectives of animal welfare have an interconnected history. However, they have also, somewhat, evolved separately with scientific perspectives often focusing on specific aspects or indicators of animal welfare and societal perspectives typically taking a broader and more ethically oriented view of welfare. In this conceptual paper, we examine the similarities and differences between scientific and societal perspectives ofpositive welfareand examine what they may mean for future discussions of animal welfare considered as a whole. Reviewing published studies in the field we find that (UK and Republic of Ireland) farmers and (UK) members of the public (i.e., society) typically consider both negatives (i.e., minimising harms) and positives (i.e., promoting positive experiences) within the envelope of positive welfare and prioritise welfare needs according to the specific context or situation an animal is in. However, little consideration of a whole life perspective (e.g., the balance of positive and negative experiences across an animal's lifetime) is evident in these societal perspectives. We highlight how addressing these disparities, by simultaneously considering scientific and societal perspectives of positive welfare, provides an opportunity to more fully incorporate positive welfare within a comprehensive understanding of animal welfare. We suggest that a consideration of both scientific and societal perspectives points to an approach to welfare which accounts for both positive and negative experiences, prioritises them (e.g., by seeing positive experiences as dependent on basic animal needs being fulfilled), and considers the balance of positives and negatives over the lifetime of the animals. We expand on this view and conclude with its potential implications for future development of how to understand and assess animal welfare.

Enzyme immobilization is an important alternative to stabilize enzyme properties favoring the efficiency of derivatives (enzyme + support/matrix) for different purposes. According to this, the current study aimed to immobilize the Aspergillus fumigatus CAS21 tannase and the use of the derivatives in the treatment of the effluent produced by the tannery industry. The tannase was immobilized on sodium alginate, DEAE-Sephadex, amberlite, and glass pearls as supports. Calcium alginate was the most adequate support for tannase immobilization with 100% yield and 94.3% for both efficiency and activity. The best tannase activity for the calcium alginate derivative was obtained at 50°C–60°C and pH 5.0. Thermal and pH stabilities evaluated for 24 h at 30°C–60°C and pH 4–7, respectively, were improved if compared to the stability of the free enzyme. Considering the reuse of the calcium alginate derivative, 78% of the initial activity was preserved after 10 catalytic cycles, and after the 9-month storage at 4°C, the activity was maintained in 70%. This derivative was applied in a packed bed reactor (PBR) for the treatment of tannin-rich effluents from the tannery industry. The reduction of the tannin content was effective reaching degradation of 74–78% after 48 h of PBR operation. The concentration of total phenolic compounds was also reduced, and the color and clarity of the effluent improved. In conclusion, the calcium alginate derivative is an attractive alternative as biocatalyst for large-scale treatment of the effluents from the tannery industry.

Most mental disorders, such as addictive diseases or schizophrenia, are characterized by impaired cognitive function and behavior control originating from disturbances within prefrontal neural networks. Their often chronic reoccurring nature and the lack of efficient therapies necessitate the development of new treatment strategies. Brain-computer interfaces, equipped with multiple sensing and stimulation abilities, offer a new toolbox whose suitability for diagnosis and therapy of mental disorders has not yet been explored. This study, therefore, aimed to develop a biocompatible and multimodal neuroprosthesis to measure and modulate prefrontal neurophysiological features of neuropsychiatric symptoms. We used a 3D-printing technology to rapidly prototype customized bioelectronic implants through robot-controlled deposition of soft silicones and a conductive platinum ink. We implanted the device epidurally above the medial prefrontal cortex of rats and obtained auditory event-related brain potentials in treatment-naïve animals, after alcohol administration and following neuromodulation through implant-driven electrical brain stimulation and cortical delivery of the anti-relapse medication naltrexone. Towards smart neuroprosthetic interfaces, we furthermore developed machine learning algorithms to autonomously classify treatment effects within the neural recordings. The neuroprosthesis successfully captured neural activity patterns reflecting intact stimulus processing and alcohol-induced neural depression. Moreover, implant-driven electrical and pharmacological stimulation enabled successful enhancement of neural activity. A machine learning approach based on stepwise linear discriminant analysis was able to deal with sparsity in the data and distinguished treatments with high accuracy. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of multimodal bioelectronic systems to monitor, modulate and identify healthy and affected brain states with potential use in a personalized and optimized therapy of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Pathologies related to the cardiovascular system are the leading causes of death worldwide. One of the main treatments is conventional surgery with autologous transplants. Although donor grafts are often unavailable, tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) show promise for clinical treatments. A systematic review of the recent scientific literature was performed using PubMed (Medline) and Web of Science databases to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in TEVG development. The use of TEVG in human patients remains quite restricted owing to the presence of vascular stenosis, existence of thrombi, and poor graft patency. A total of 92 original articles involving human patients and animal models were analyzed. A meta-analysis of the influence of the vascular graft diameter on the occurrence of thrombosis and graft patency was performed for the different models analyzed. Although there is no ideal animal model for TEVG research, the murine model is the most extensively used. Hybrid grafting, electrospinning, and cell seeding are currently the most promising technologies. The results showed that there is a tendency for thrombosis and non-patency in small-diameter grafts. TEVGs are under constant development, and research is oriented towards the search for safe devices.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) encompasses a collection of complicated chemical entities characterized by individually specific biological reactivities and physicochemical properties. ROS detection is attracting tremendous attention. The reaction-based nanomaterials for ROS “turn-on” sensing represent novel and efficient tools for ROS detection. These nanomaterials have the advantages of high sensitivity, real-time sensing ability, and almost infinite contrast against background. This review focuses on appraising nanotechnologies with the ROS “turn-on” detection mechanism coupled with the ability for broad biological applications. In this review, we highlighted the weaknesses and advantages in prior sensor studies and raised some guidelines for the development of future nanoprobes.
