A Story of Three Levels of Sophistication in SCF/KS-DFT Orbital Optimization Procedures
Authors: Sethio Daniel , Azzopardi Emily , Fernández Galván Ignacio , Lindh Roland
Published: February 2024

In this report, three versions of SCF/KS-DFT orbital optimization are described and benchmarked. The methods are a modified version of the geometry version of the direct inversion in the iterative subspace approach (which we call r-GDIIS), the modified restricted step rational function optimization method (RS-RFO), and the novel subspace gradient enhanced Kriging method, combined with restricted variance optimization (S-GEK/RVO). The modifications introduced are aimed to improve the robustness and computational scaling of the procedures. In particular, the subspace approach in S-GEK/RVO allows the application to SCF/KS-DFT optimization of a machine technique that has proved successful in geometry optimizations. The performance of the three methods is benchmarked for a large number of small to medium-sized organic molecules, at equilibrium structures and close to a transition state, and a second set of molecules containing closed- and open-shell transition metals. The results indicate the importance of the resetting technique in boosting the performance of the r-GDIIS procedure. Moreover, it is demonstrated that already at the inception of the subspace version of GEK to optimize SCF wave functions, it displays superior and robust convergence properties as compared to standard state-of-the-art SCF/KS-DFT optimization methods.
Traversing Chemical Space with Active Deep Learning: A Computational Framework for Low-data Drug Discovery
Authors: van Tilborg Derek , Grisoni Francesca
Published: February 2024

Deep learning is accelerating drug discovery. However, current approaches are often affected by limitations in the available data, e.g., in terms of size or molecular diversity. Active deep learning has an untapped potential for low-data drug discovery, as it allows to improve a model iteratively during the screening process by acquiring new data, and to adjust its course along the way. However, several known unknowns exist when it comes to active learning: (a) what the best computational strategies are for chemical space exploration, (b) how active learning holds up to traditional, non-iterative, approaches, and (c) how it should be used in the low-data scenarios typical of drug discovery. These open questions currently limit the wider adoption of active learning in drug discovery. To provide answers, this study simulates a real-world low-data drug discovery scenario, and systematically analyses six active learning strategies combined with two deep learning architectures, on three large- scale molecular libraries. Not only do we show that active learning can achieve up to a six-fold improvement in hit discovery compared to traditional methods, but we also identify the most important determinants of its success in low-data regimes. This study lays the first-in-time foundations for the prospective use of active deep learning for low-data drug discovery and is expected to accelerate its adoption.

Published: February 2024

Cinnamoyl moiety containing non-ribosomal peptides represented by pepticinnamin E, are a growing family of natural products isolated from different Streptomyces and possess diverse bioactivities. A soil bacterium Streptomyces mirabilis P8-A2 harbors a cryptic pepticinnamin biosynthetic gene cluster, producing azodyrecins as major products. Inactivation of the azodyrecin biosynthetic gene cluster by CRISPR-BEST base editing led to the activation and production of pepticinnamin E (1) and its analogues, pepticinnamins N, O and P (2-4), the structures of which were determined by detailed NMR spectroscopy, HRMS data, and Marfey´s reactions. These new compounds exerted modest growth inhibitory effect against the LNCaP and C4-2B prostate cancer lines, respectively, with pepticinnamin O being the most active.

P122 Unrealistic Pulse Pressures from Calibrated Tonometric Waveforms
Authors: Reesink Koen , Marais Louise , Boutouyrie Pierre
Published: February 2024

Background

Calibration of carotid artery tonometry waveforms needs to account for pulse pressure augmentation [1]. Due to its location nearer to the heart, carotid pulse pressure (carPP) is about 10 mmHg lower than brachial (brachPP) [1]. In practice, perfect applanation is hard to achieve with tonometry and thus tracking-errors may occur, leading to an exaggerated fall in the diastolic limb of the tonometry waveform. Consequently, the mean-to-diastolic difference of the waveform is underestimated, leading to an overestimation of carPP after calibration. We assessed the relationship between brachPP and carPP in 100 subjects, aged 18–80 yrs.

Methods and Results

Brachial pressure (Omron) and carotid tonometry (Sphygmocor) measurements were performed by a single, highly skilled vascular technician, according to Artery Society methodological standards. CarPP was 5 ± 13 mmHg lower than brachPP. Bland-Altman analysis revealed a positive trend (r = 0.695, p < 0.0001) between the carPP–brachPP difference and their mean, with carPP being 20 mmHg lower than brachPP at a mean 40 mmHg which extended to carPP being 20 mmHg higher(!) than brachPP at a mean 80 mmHg. Accordingly, 30% of the study population showed unphysiological carPP, indicating an unrealistic i.e. reverse amplification. Even with a tolerance of +5 mmHg, still 20% of cases showed unrealistic values.

Conclusion

In practice, calibrated carotid tonometry waveforms may yield unphysiological overestimations of carotid pulse pressure. This finding implies (potential) estimation errors in regression model studies on central pressure and local stiffness, suggesting brachial pulse pressure would be a valid compromise.

Published: February 2024

The aviation industry is one of the most important areas where developing technology contributes. It is important to evaluate many factors for the safe and comfortable flight of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), one of the most popular areas of this industry. One of the most important of these factors is flight time estimation. Battery state of charge (SOC) plays a big role in flight time estimation. In this study, using the data obtained from the tests carried out using a lithium-polymer battery in the electric UAV engine test equipment, the SOC of the battery was estimated using deep learning like as Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) and machine learning methods like as Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Random Forest (RF). The main reason why these methods are preferred is that they are suitable for time series analysis in the forecasting process, are trained faster, and have generalization abilities. The proposed models were compared among themselves and the simulation results were presented with graphs and tables. When the results are examined, the predicted values and true values are quite compatible. This shows that the proposed methods can be used effectively in SOC estimation.

Published: February 2024

The article analyzes the prospect of a solution for the mutual interaction of a photovoltaic generator and the local electrical grid, within the context of electrifying the offices of a hydrocarbon storage facility. The idea is to examine the operational performance of a system that enables the maximum self-consumption of energy generated by a small-scale photovoltaic system installed on the facility's site. Such a system could prove beneficial for multiple consumers operating in a complex energy environment. The issue is scrutinized based on experimental data from a real case in Dakar, Senegal. An installation with a photovoltaic system of approximately 17 kWp peak power is monitored for a year to assess the reliability of the self-consumption photovoltaic system for a broader application. The data encompasses both the functioning of the photovoltaic system and its interaction with the electrical grid. The potential use of this solution in the context of promoting self-consumption policies to reduce electricity consumption expenses is discussed and analyzed, revealing a relatively high level of interaction with the electrical grid. Despite maintenance costs, the photovoltaic system proves to be cost-effective.

Aim. To assess the structure of cardiovascular pathology in patients with new coronavirus infection (NCI), to identify factors of poor prognosis in these individuals. Material and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the COVID-19 infectious diseases hospital of the City Hospital No. 33 of Nizhny Novgorod. The study included 284 patients after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. All subjects were divided into groups: the main group (n = 207) — patients with NCI and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), as well as comorbid diseases, the comparison group (n = 24) with NCI and CVD, the control group (n = 53) with NCI without any comorbid diseases. Demographic indicators, BMI, laboratory parameters, comorbidity and therapy were analyzed. Results. During the study, it was revealed that the most severe course of COVID-19 is characteristic of the main group, and only among them there were fatal outcomes (25% of cases). Analyzing the prevalence of CVD, it turned out that arterial hypertension was the most common in the main group and in the comparison group, coronary heart disease and heart failure were registered somewhat less frequently. The development of acute cardiovascular accidents occurred only in the main group. A mathematical model was developed to determine the risk of death in patients with NCI who are in the hospital. This model is statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion. The older age of patients, the development of acute myocardial infarction, first identified atrial fibrillation and a decrease in saturation contributed to an increased risk of mortality in patients with NCI and CVD. Among drug therapy, the administration of favipiravir, tocilizumab and statins had a beneficial effect on the outcome of diseases.

En el presente ENSAYO se exponen una serie de inquietudes alrededor del museo como institución que, si bien validada, lo ha sido desde estrategias patriarcales y heteronormativas como el saqueo, la invasión, la cosificación y la exclusión. Con base en esto, se piensa en la posibilidad de queerizar el museo y revertir sus efectos normativos, en busca de la inclusión y la dignificación de los cuerpos y subjetividades que han sido apartados de los discursos e incluso silenciado, y para que éstas tengan un territorio en el que reclamen su historia. _________ This essay presents a series of concerns about the museum as an institution, which has been validated by patriarchal and heteronormative strategies, such as looting, invasion, objectification, and exclusion. From this, the idea of queering the museum and reversing its normative effects emerged, aiming to achieve inclusivity and to bring dignity to the bodies and subjectivities that this institution has silenced and excluded from discourses. Therefore, the utopia of a queer museum is proposed as the future territory for these subjectivities to claim their history.

A New Paradigm for Elderly Education in Germany and for Music Education for German Elderly People in the Age of Aging
Authors:   The Korean Society of Music Education Technology, Kim EunAe
Published: February 2024

Because of the advancement of science and medicine and economic society, etc. the whole world is facing the age of aging, and the importance of elderly education is increasing day by day. Among fields of elderly education, the role of culture and arts education is not insignificant; music education is an important part of culture and arts education. Nevertheless, we still have a long way to go to formulate systematic theories of music education for the elderly or to indicate a direction for the very future. The only role of music for the elderly that has been found to date is a therapeutic function at the public level, such as ’a music therapy for the elderly’. But the Korean society, which is turning into a super-aged society at a rapid pace - not a mere aged-society anymore - should be newly aware of the importance of senior education and music education for the elderly (a major part of senior education). Furthermore, the meaning of such music education for the elderly should not be merely ’a music therapy’ for the elderly at the public level showing several symptoms caused by aging, but should be expanded to another level - systematic, continued music education should be delivered even to the elderly in a more active, pre-emptive response. In recognition that music can influence positively the elderly who are entering the twilight of their lives, it is necessary to conduct research on systematic theories of music education for the elderly first. This thesis intends to look at examples of elderly education in Germany, which began to be active in taking academic awareness of aged-society and in conducting research on it much earlier than Republic of Korea; based on the findings of the exploration of the examples a new paradigm for music education for the elderly will be presented.
A Study on the Development of a Teaching Model for Singing
Authors:   The Korean Society of Music Education Technology, Lim EunJung
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study is to develop a teaching model for singing in music class. This study reviewed common characteristics of singing activities and the enhancement of singing abilities first, and then suggested an integrated teaching model for singing activities in classroom. Based on the general teaching model that commonly set up a course in the process of stages such as introduction, development, advancement, and organization, this study formulated a teaching model for singing into ‘detecting song’, ‘singing’, ‘extending singing’, and ‘organizing singing’ as its teaching stages. It also described main activities of each stage in consideration of class comprehension and the convenience of class construction. Lastly, it presented some elements that could affect singing class as ‘class interference factors’, and classified and detailed those factors. The results of this study provided three teaching plans for the model: the basic understanding of singing, the basic activities of singing, and the diversification of singing, all of which embody practical activities in singing class. The validity and effectiveness of the teaching model presented in this study should be verified by applying it to singing class as well as by conducting further researches on various teaching models for singing.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Music Education Technology, Park MyeongSook
Published: February 2024

This study aimed to examine the factors that affect the career preparation behaviors of graduate students in music, and verify the relationships among factors empirically. As a result, first, the sub-dimensions of major selection motivation, which are intrinsic motivation, short-term extrinsic motivation, and long-term extrinsic motivation all had positive effects on major satisfaction. Second, intrinsic motivation and long-term extrinsic motivation had positive effects on career decision-making self-efficacy. Third, major satisfaction had positive effects on career decision-making self-efficacy and career preparation behaviors. Lastly, career decision-making self-efficacy had positive effects on career preparation behaviors. The significance of this study is verifying the roles and importance of major selection motivation, major satisfaction and career decision-making self-efficacy in career preparation of graduate students in music, and suggesting the direction of career education in the future based on such verification.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Music Education Technology, Lee Soojin
Published: February 2024

This research aims to identify direction of improvement of an integrated arts program and issues for integrated arts education. In order to investigate these topics, researchers developed and ran an integrated arts program. In this program, students enjoyed artistic experiences while participating creative works of blended arts activities from music(pop band), literature, and fine arts. This article describes the program plans and results focusing on integrated arts activities. In addition, researchers interviewed six participant students and six parents after the program in order to ask what are their experiences and percieved pros and cons of arts integrated education during the program. Results showed that this arts integrated program stimulated participants’ artistic interests and imagination as well as gave them opportunities to investigate future career related to arts. For effective adaptation of arts integrated education, researchers discussed on the needs for appropriate approach for young learners who do not have much artistic experiences and excellence as well as proper combination of individual and group activities for further artistic exploration.
Is Standard Music Notation Able to Picture Aristotle’s Time?
Authors: Strobach Niko
Published: February 2024

It is argued that standard music notation pictures Aristotle’s time (time, as Aristotle conceived of it) in a number of important respects, which concern its micro-structure. It is then argued that this allows us to see some features of Aristotle’s time more clearly. Most importantly, Aristotelian instants can be pictured by bar-lines. This allows us to see as how radically devoid of any content Aristotelian instants should be interpreted. Thus, attention to music notation may show why Aristotle was not a presentist.
Time of Change in Plato and Aristotle
Authors: Krása Ondřej
Published: February 2024

When do things change? When do things have some characteristics? I try to answer these questions by looking at different solutions Plato and Aristotle presented in their works. The famous analysis of change from the second half of Plato’s Parmenides claims that change happens outside of time, at an “instant”. On the contrary, Aristotle in the Physics explicitly argues that all change occurs only in time. However, both Plato and Aristotle also provide other analyses of change. How to deal with this variety of explanations and tensions between them? In this paper, I argue that if we differentiate between several kinds of change, most of Plato’s and Aristotle’s analyses provide a thorough insight into the nature of change. For processes such as locomotion, change occurs exclusively within time. For changes where both the initial and final states occur only in time, such as a transition from motion to rest, change takes place in the ‘now’. However, for changes where both the initial and final states occur in both time and in the ‘now’ – for example, a qualitative change from being white to not being white – change does not occur in time nor in the ‘now’, but instead happens instantaneously.
Are Kinetic and Temporal Continuities Real for Aristotle?
Authors: Sentesy Mark
Published: February 2024

Aristotle argues that time depends on soul to count it, but adds that motion, which makes time what it is, may be independent of soul. The claim that time depends on soul or mind implies that there is at least one measurable property of natural beings that exists because of the mind’s activity. This paper argues that for Aristotle time depends partly on soul, but more importantly on motion, which defines a continuum. This argument offers a robust metaphysics of time. In contrast to modern philosophy of physics, for Aristotle the continuum of motion is prior in being to time, while time is a hybrid of the real continuum of motion and the activity of mind.
Zersplitterte und gesammelte Gegenwart bei Augustinus: Das Verhältnis von physikalischer und psychologischer Zeit
Authors: Drews Friedemann
Published: February 2024

This paper tries to ‘liberate’ Augustine’s view on time from certain modern prejudices, e.g. that the church father’s theory of time involves the modern dichotomy between subjectivism and objectivism (Ricœur), that his understanding of time can be seen as a precursor of modern phenomenology (Husserl, Heidegger), that Conf. XI lacks a coherent theory of time as such or that, at least, it falls short of the insights of Kant’s enlightened transcendentalism (Flasch). By contrast, the church father circumvents typically modern aporiai by both differentiating between time on the level of physics and time on the level of soul as well as by accounting for the link between these two ‘times’: Whereas the time of physics tends to non–existence, it is the soul that, by cognizing a certain process in its (relative) entirety, establishes actual time; on the level of soul, time persists and is preserved (in contrast to physical time). Neither does Augustine propose nor need the notion of any ‘absolute time’. Maybe Augustine’s theory of time is compatible with certain assumptions of modern physics (e.g. Einstein’s theory of relativity) although the church fathers’ view can in no way be reduced to the level of physics.
AS NOVAS ORGANIZAÇÕES DO TRABALHO E O SETOR AEROPORTUÁRIO: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Barino Raphael Sepulveda , Ayub Omar
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo analisa o processo de precarização do trabalho no setor aeroportuário, influenciadas pelas novas tecnologias e impulsionadas através da nova legislação trabalhista, que já estavam em trânsito e que surgiram decorrentes da pandemia de COVID-19. Mesmo possuindo uma legislação própria, o segmento analisado é influenciado pelas mudanças no ordenamento jurídico trabalhista como um todo. Estas alterações que atingiram o setor aeroportuário, impulsionaram mudanças na morfologia das profissões inerentes a este campo de atuação, questionando empresas, sindicatos, trabalhadores e legisladores com a questão de como reagir frente estas mudanças e outras que surgirão como desdobramento destas. Para a realização deste estudo, optou-se pela metodologia qualitativo-documental para condução de pesquisas. Esta escolha partiu da necessidade da contextualização do tema com fins de embasar o debate sobre as questões apontadas. No processo de coleta de informações, constatou-se poucas pesquisas e estudos sobre o assunto direcionado ao setor de aeroportos, seja na parte acadêmica ou sindical. E, nesta vacância de discussão, foi objetivado com este artigo um confronto de ideias sobre o setor, sugerindo pesquisas mais aprofundadas sobre o tema, no que tange às influências políticas nos sindicatos, principalmente naqueles que visam apenas a arrecadação sindical em detrimento às reivindicações dos seus participantes sindicalizados. Como sugestões para estudos futuros, foi apontado como propulsor para mudanças no mundo do trabalho, abordando o método de produção conhecido como volvismo, sendo este divergente dos modelos tradicionais.
