Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Application of Exhaust Gas Aftertreatment Control Using the Example of a Hydrogen Engine
Authors: Itzen Dirk , Angerbauer Martin , Hagenbucher Timo , Grill Michael , Kulzer Andre
Published: September 2024

Growing environmental concerns drive the increasing need for a more climate-friendly mobility and pose a challenge for the development of future powertrains. Hydrogen engines represent a suitable alternative for the heavy-duty segment. However, typical operation includes dynamic conditions and the requirement for high loads that produce the highest NOx emissions. These emissions must be reduced below the legal limits through selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The application of such a control system is time-intensive and requires extensive domain knowledge.

We propose that almost human-like control strategies can be achieved for this virtual application with less time and expert knowledge by using Deep Reinforcement Learning. A proximal policy optimization (PPO) -based agent is trained to control the injection of Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and compared with the performance of a manually tuned controller. The performance is evaluated based on the restrictive emission limits of a possible EURO7-framework and DEF consumption. Applied to a standardized driving cycle (WHTC) and compared with the conventional application, the agent reaches similar emission values with a equally high DEF consumption. In addition, a long short-term memory (LSTM) network is trained to substitute the 1D-SCR-model and then used to train a PPO-based agent. The results of the agent interacting with the conventional 1D-model are compared to the results with the LSTM-network as environment.

The results demonstrate, that the control of an exhaust gas aftertreatment system using Reinforcement Learning is very satisfactory. Further work is required to refine the proposed methodology into a fully-fledged tool for application in powertrain development.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular non-compaction: Distinct diseases or variant phenotypes of a single condition?
Authors: Przytuła Natalia , Dziewięcka Ewa , Winiarczyk Mateusz , Graczyk Katarzyna , Stępień Agnieszka , Rubiś Paweł
Published: September 2024

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetically determined myocardial disease characterized by an increased thickness of the left ventricle (LV) wall that cannot be solely attributed to abnormal loading conditions. HCM may present with an intraventricular or LV outflow tract obstruction, diastolic dysfunction, myocardial fibrosis and/or ventricular arrhythmias. Differentiating HCM from other diseases associated with LV hypertrophy, such as hypertension, aortic stenosis, or LV non-compaction (LVNC), can at times be challenging. LVNC is defined by excessive LV trabeculation and deep recesses between trabeculae, often accompanied by increased LV myocardial mass. Previous studies indicate that the LVNC phenotype may be observed in up to 5% of the general population; however, in most cases, it is a benign finding with no impact on clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, LVNC can occasionally lead to LV systolic dysfunction, manifesting as a phenotype of dilated or non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy, with an increased risk of thrombus formation and arterial embolism. In extreme cases, where LVNC is associated with a very thickened LV wall, it can even mimic HCM. There is growing evidence of an overlap between HCM and LVNC, including similar genetic mutations and clinical presentations. This raises the question of whether HCM and LVNC represent different phenotypes of the same disease or are, in fact, two distinct entities.
Recognizing and preventing complications regarding bioresorbable scaffolds during coronary interventions
Authors: Latsios George , Koliastasis Leonidas , Toutouzas Konstantinos , Tsioufis Kostas
Published: September 2024

The evolution of coronary intervention techniques and equipment has led to more sophisticated procedures for the treatment of highly complex lesions. However, as a result, the risk of complications has increased, which are mostly iatrogenic and often include equipment failure. Stent dislodgement warrants vigilance for the early diagnosis and a stepwise management approach is required to either expand or retrieve the lost stent. In the era of bioresorbable scaffolds that are not radiopaque, increased caution is required. Intravascular imaging may assist in detecting the lost scaffold in cases of no visibility fluoroscopically. Adequate lesion preparation is the key to minimizing the possibility of equipment loss; however, in the case that it occurs, commercially available and improvised devices and techniques may be applied.
Efficient phosphorus removal using the La-based perovskite oxides: Role of B-site metal for modulating the surface electronic structure
Authors: Wang Lingfeng , Li Haibo , Dong Hao , Cheng Yan , He Wenjie , Xu Yin
Published: September 2024

Highly efficient removal of phosphate from water bodies is of great importance to controlling eutrophication. Herein, the lanthanum-based perovskites (i.e., LaMnO3, LaFeO3) were synthesized and employed for phosphorus adsorption. Adsorption experiments showed that the phosphate removal by LaMnO3 was well fitted with the pseudo second-order kinetic model, with a multi-stage adsorption process. The LaMnO3 exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 51.3 mg/g for phosphate calculated using the Langmuir model, which was 2.1 times higher than that of LaFeO3 under neutral conditions. Characterization and DFT calculation results further revealed that the La element on the surface of perovskite was the main adsorption site via inner-sphere complex and/or electrostatic interactions, whereas the B-site metal (i.e. Mn element) could trigger the surface electronic structure modulation such as the reduction of surface bonding barrier, for further improving the phosphate adsorption. Additionally, the LaMnO3 adsorbent exhibited commendable performance in treating natural water with low phosphorus concentration and good regenerative capability. This work provides insight into the development of novel perovskite-type adsorbents for efficiently removing phosphorus in environmental remediation.
Disentangling Parallelism and Interference in Game Semantics
Authors: Castellan Simon , Clairambault Pierre
Published: September 2024

Game semantics is a denotational semantics presenting compositionally the
computational behaviour of various kinds of effectful programs. One of its
celebrated achievement is to have obtained full abstraction results for
programming languages with a variety of computational effects, in a single
framework. This is known as the semantic cube or Abramsky's cube, which for
sequential deterministic programs establishes a correspondence between certain
conditions on strategies (''innocence'', ''well-bracketing'', ''visibility'')
and the absence of matching computational effects. Outside of the sequential
deterministic realm, there are still a wealth of game semantics-based full
abstraction results; but they no longer fit in a unified canvas. In particular,
Ghica and Murawski's fully abstract model for shared state concurrency (IA)
does not have a matching notion of pure parallel program-we say that
parallelism and interference (i.e. state plus semaphores) are entangled. In
this paper we construct a causal version of Ghica and Murawski's model, also
fully abstract for IA. We provide compositional conditions parallel innocence
and sequentiality, respectively banning interference and parallelism, and
leading to four full abstraction results. To our knowledge, this is the first
extension of Abramsky's semantic cube programme beyond the sequential
deterministic world.

We derive here compact formulas for the Zhang-Zhang (ZZ) polynomials of two classes of finite open-ended carbon nanotubes: zigzag nanotubes (n, 0) of length d and armchair nanotubes (n, n) of length d. For zigzag nanotubes, the underlying Clar cover theory is trivial; in contrast, for armchair nanotubes, the Clar theory is complex and abundant in results. The ZZ polynomial formulas have been obtained using the interface theory of benzenoids and the transfer matrix methodology.
On the Relationship Between University Translator Training Programs and the Translation Market Requirements: The Case of English Translation Graduates and Postgraduates of Imam Reza International University
Authors: Kazemi Jovein Shahrzad , Davoudi Sharifabad Ebrahim , Yazdani Mohammad
Published: September 2024

The training of specialized human resources and the utilization of their expertise represent the primary concerns of universities and the higher education system. The efficacy of translator training programs has been increasingly scrutinized, with a particular emphasis on the explicit delineation of the link between their curricula and the market in which their graduates are ultimately employed. The objective of the present study was to ascertain the relationship between the university translator training programs at Imam Reza International University and the requirements of the translation market, with specific focus on the occupational status of translation graduates, and their attitudes towards the academic training, over the past 20 years. The study was mixed-methods with the online survey completed by 100 graduates by convenience sampling technique. Subsequently, through a snowballing approach, 23 graduates were selected for the semi-structured interview. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 27; then, the data of interviews were analyzed based on the grounded theory in MAXQDA version 2020. The findings suggest that the majority of graduates perceive themselves to be inadequately prepared to enter the workforce. This sentiment is attributed to the absence of practical coursework, including innovative translation techniques and marketing skills aligned with the demands of the contemporary translation industry. So, there is a need for greater interaction between training and the market. The findings also indicated that modern translation technology and updated resources are not used to meet the market’s need. Inviting employers and entrepreneurs to talk in the classes, holding specialized workshops, and having work placement components in the curriculum can be effective in creating a foundation for students' subsequent employment.

Menilik Kriteria “liyan”: Mewujudkan Kerukunan Umat Beragama di Yogyakarta
Authors: Artarini Magdalena Pura Adiputra
Published: September 2024

This paper discusses the importance of religious harmony in Yogyakarta, a city with a significant number of newcomers, making it rich in diversity, one of which is religion. This diversity makes Yogyakarta also vulnerable to conflict. Through qualitative research methods with a literature study approach, the author looks at and explores the factors that influence the occurrence of intolerance. It was found that intolerance in Yogyakarta was strongly influenced by factors such as narrow-minded religious thinking, religious fanaticism, and exclusive interpretations of the concept of "the Other.” Therefore, a more inclusive introduction to the concept of “the Other” can help people appreciate religious differences, diversity in Yogyakarta and achieve religious harmony. This can be achieved through recognition of differences, interfaith dialogue, and an ethic of hospitality. It is hoped that the people of Yogyakarta will not only be able to overcome religious conflict, but also strengthen religious harmony and build sustainable communication among different religious communities.  Makalah ini membahas pentingnya kerukunan umat beragama di Yogyakarta, sebagai kota dengan jumlah pendatang yang cukup banyak, menjadikan kota Yogyakarta kaya akan keragaman salah satunya agama. Tentunya keberagaman ini menjadikan Yogyakarta juga rentan terjadi konflik. Melalui metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur, penulis melihat dan menggali faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi terjadinya intoleransi. Ditemukan bahwa intoleransi di Yogyakarta kuat dipengaruhi oleh faktor seperti pemikiran sempit mengenai keagamaan, fanatisme beragama, dan interpretasi eksklusif tentang "liyan." Maka pengenalan secara lebih inklusif pada konsep "liyan" dapat membantu masyarakat menghargai perbedaan dan keberagaman umat beragama di Yogyakarta serta mencapai harmoni agama. Hal ini dapat dilakukan melalui pengakuan pada perbedaan, dialog lintas iman, dan etika keramahan. Diharapkan masyarakat Yogyakarta tidak hanya dapat mengatasi konflik keagamaan, namun juga memperkuat harmoni agama, dan membangun komunikasi yang berkelanjutan di antara komunitas agama yang berbeda.
Analisis Multidimensi Narasi Matius 8
Authors: Ziraluo Theophylus Doxa
Published: September 2024

The background of the research is, First, Jesus is considered as a pro-Jewish person. Secondly, this text is considered within the framework of religious moderation. Thirdly, it emphasises Roman culture when explaining the term ‘pais’ (child). Fourthly, it doubts the healing that Jesus did - it was just a pretence. Considering this, the method used in this research is qualitative hermeneutic with Grant R. Osborne's narrative criticism steps. Based on the literature review, this research is important because previous studies did not discuss narrative texts based on Grant R. Osborne's aspects. Therefore, this study serves as an evaluation and contribution to other studies. In addition, this article aims to show the importance of examining narrative texts based on the aspects of narrative criticism. Analysing the dimensions can help the reader to follow the storyline so as to characterise the psychology, ideology, conflicts, strengths and weaknesses of a characterisation, as well as provide an accurate interpretation. Yang melatarbelakangi penelitian yaitu, Pertama, Yesus dinilai sebagai orang yang pro dengan non Yahudi. Kedua, teks ini dinilai dalam kerangka moderasi beragama. Ketiga, menekankan kebudayaan Romawi ketika menjelaskan istilah “pais” (anak). Keempat, meragukan penyembuhan yang Yesus lakukan – hanya berpura-pura. Mencermati hal tersebut, metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif hermeneutik dengan langkah-langkah kritik narasi Grant R. Osborne. Berdasarkan studi literatur, penelitian ini penting dikarenakan penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya tidak membahas teks narasi berdasarkan berdasarkan aspek-aspek yang digunakan Grant R. Osborne. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini berfungsi sebagai evaluasi dan kontribusi bagi penelitian lainnya. Selain itu, artikel ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan akan pentingnya meneliti teks-teks narasi berdasarkan spek-aspek kritik narasi. Analisis terhadap dimensi-dimensi mampu menolong pembaca untuk mengikuti alur cerita sehingga memberikan karakteristik psikologi, ideologi, konflik, kekuatan dan kelemahan dalam sebuah penokohan, serta memberikan penafsiran dengan tepat.

Abstract. This study examined the disparities in Physical Education (PE) learning Outcomes among high school pupils by considering their gender and intellectual aptitude. The study involved participants from a high school in Yogyakarta, selected using the Simple Random Sampling method. The data were then analysed using descriptive statistics and a two-way factorial inferential analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study divided the results into two groups based on their intellectual intelligence: low and high. In the low intellectual category, the average learning outcome for male students was 83.60. Meanwhile, the average for female students was 84.10. In the high intellectual intelligence category, the average results for male students were 85.30, while the average achievement for female students was 83.70. The ANOVA test for the intellectual intelligence variable yielded a p-value (Sig.) of 0.303, which is greater than the significance level of 0.05. This figure suggests that there is no statistically significant difference in students’ learning outcomes based on their level of intelligence, whether low or high. Similarly, the p-value of 0.383 for the gender variable was also greater than the significance level of 0.05, indicating no statistically significant variations in learning results. Additionally, the interaction effect between IQ and gender yielded a significance value of 0.100, which is greater than 0.05. It indicates no significant interaction between these two variables on the learning performance of high school students. The finding means that cognitive intelligence does not have a substantial impact on the performance of physical education (PE) among high school students. Moreover, there is no notable disparity in PE performance between male and female students, suggesting gender equality in both the opportunities and abilities in PE. Finally, the study found no notable correlation between gender and IQ levels in performance on intelligence tasks. These results diminish the importance of considering other criteria, such as physical aptitude, in evaluating PE performance and emphasize the need for comprehensive and inclusive physical education programs.

Introduction. Medical care for patients diagnosed with the toxic effect of ethanol (according to ICD-10 code T51.0) it turns out to be in specialized toxicological centers or in emergency departments of multidisciplinary hospitals. The purpose of this study was to study the effectiveness of the drug моликсан® (molixаn) at different levels of medical care for patients diagnosed with the toxic effect of ethanol.
Material and method. 128 patients were included in the study, of which 76 patients were taken to the emergency department of St. Petersburg State Medical Institution "Alexandrovskaya Hospital" and 52 patients were taken to the intensive care unit No. 11 of the St. Petersburg Scientific Research Institute of Emergency Medicine named after I.I. Dzhanelidze. All patients met the inclusion criteria: age 18–60 years; impaired consciousness of alcoholic genesis 21–30 points on the Glasgow–Pittsburgh coma scale (PBSS: Pittsburg Brain Stem Score, Kelsey S.F., et al. 1991); ethanol concentration in the blood is more than 2.5%. 72 patients were included in the моликсан® group, 56 patients in the Placebo group.
Results. The use of the drug моликсан® has a positive effect on the dynamics of restoring the level of consciousness, which is reflected in higher values of the Glasgow–Pittsburgh scale after 1, 3 and 6 hours from the start of therapy (p<0.01), reducing the period of stay of the patient in a coma from 150 [75; 178] minutes to 60 [50; 161.5] minutes (p<0.05) and restoration of consciousness to a clear level after 3.5± 0.3 hours (p<0.05).It was also revealed, that in the group of patients using моликсан®, normalization of heart rate (p<0.05) and a decrease in the frequency and severity of tremor (p<0.05) were noted. The hepatoprotective efficacy of моликсан® was shown, which manifested itself in a decrease in ALT, AST, GGTP, alkaline phosphatase, total and direct bilirubin (p<0.001).
Limitations. The clinical efficacy of моликсан® in the toxic effects of severe ethanol was carried out in patients with depression of consciousness and elevated levels of ALT, AST, GGTP, alkaline phosphatase, total and direct bilirubin, which indicated the presence of alcoholic hepatopathy.
Conclusion. The conducted study showed the expediency of using моликсан® at a dosage of 3.0 mg/kg intravenously with the toxic effect of ethanol of moderate and severe severity of the disease.

The main aim of the article is to focus on the investigation of specifics of the creation of the reality in the fractal model of the poetical world reconstructed on the material of the British poetry of the XIXth-XXIst centuries by means of linguistic and poetical analysis of lexical and semantic tropes as verbal means of the actualization of cognitive processes of the formation of the fractal model of the poetical world and by means of the investigation of the axiologically marked inner senses that are specific for the cognitive style of British poets of the romantic, of the modern and of the post-modern periods with the help of linguistic, cognitive and poetical analysis of stylistic and conceptual tropes using cognitive and discourse strategies of the interpretation of the sense of the fractal model of the poetical world, such as: the reconstruction of the axiologically marked literary concepts as elements of the fractal model of the poetical world, the modelling of conceptual tropes as the cognitive background of the creation of the fractal model of the poetical world and the designing of conceptual blends and frames as emergent cognitive structures of the embodied understanding in the poetics of the British romantic, of the British modern and of the British post-modern periods.

The purpose of this study was to analyze specifically the research trends of ‘Journal of Jeju Studies [JJS]’. To accomplish it, the study selected 515 articles from JJS, that had been published from 1981 to 2023, and analyzed them by Keyword Network Analysis. Major results of the study are as follows: First, it needs to cultivate more positive communications and cooperation amongst humanities, social science and natural science in order to vitalize interdisciplinary studies of the three academic areas, that is a major strength of JJS. Second, the various opportunities should be provided positively for educational researchers to pursue the integral studies by harmonizing the uniqueness and generalities of Jeju education. Third, although research subjects of JJS are different according to the time period, the major keywords such as culture, region, society, and tourism were ranked highly by the analysis results. Therefore, it is necessary to support the researchers and to cultivate research environment in order to expand the spectrum of research subjects. Lastly, the future studies of Jeju education need to connect to social science and to link to humanities beyond educational study realm itself. The results would be used as the basic implications for the further researches of Jeju as well Jeju education in terms of research subjects and research directions.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify associated factors and the prevalence of major avian respiratory diseases, including Mycoplasma gallisepticum, Influenza H9, Infectious Bronchitis (IB), and Newcastle disease in poultry farms in the Dakar and Thiès regions of Senegal.
Methodology:A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on purposively selected farms with over 1000 birds exhibiting respiratory symptoms. Blood samples (400) were collected for serological analysis, and post-mortem examinations were performed to assess disease prevalence. Additionally, data on biosecurity, vaccination, medication practices, general management, and farm infrastructure were obtained through direct observation. Student t-tests were used to analyze the association between different farming practices and respiratory infections.
Findings: The results indicated that proximity to neighboring farms, non-compliant buildings, mixed-age groups, and lack of farmer training were associated with respiratory diseases in the surveyed farms. Serological analysis revealed a high prevalence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Influenza H9, each detected in 50% of the farms. Infectious Bronchitis was found in 40% of the farms, while Newcastle disease was detected in 35%. Co-infections were common, with the combination of H9 influenza and Mycoplasma gallisepticum being the most prevalent (33%).
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions, including improved biosecurity measures, vaccination strategies, and farmer training, to control respiratory infections. Strengthening biosecurity protocols and enhancing farmer education will help reduce disease.

Published: September 2024

The ability to make savvy financing decisions is now a key differentiator for corporate firms seeking to outpace competition and achieve sustainable growth. In view of this, this study examined the moderating effect of firm size on the nexus between financing decisions and financial stability of listed industrial goods firms in Nigeria. The study employed Altman’s Z-score in evaluating the financial stability of listed industrial goods firms in Nigeria and a combination of debt-equity ratio, interest coverage ratio, and total debt ratio as key predictors. Altman’s Z-score assisted in gauging firms’ financial stability over the research period. Additionally, the natural logarithm of total assets was integrated into the analysis to further refine the predictive model and to achieve the study objectives. The study adopted an ex-post facto research design and utilized a panel data of one hundred and fifty (150) pooled observations gathered across a sample of ten (10) listed industrial goods firms in Nigeria over a period of fifteen (15) years (2009-2023). The study employed descriptive statistics tools, Pearson correlation analysis and Fixed effects regression technique via Eviews 10.0 statistical package in analyzing the data. The study findings revealed that with the moderating effect of firm size, debt equity ratio has an insignificant negative relationship {(Coeff. = -0.000247 (0.6571)} with financial stability of listed industrial goods firms in Nigeria while interest coverage ratio has a significant positive relationship {Coeff. = 2.322405 (0.0173)} with financial stability of listed industrial goods firms in Nigeria. It also revealed that total-debt ratio has an insignificant negative relationship {Coeff. = -0.002365 (0.4236)} with financial stability of listed industrial goods firms in Nigeria. It was thus concluded that firm size has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between financing decisions and financial stability of listed industrial goods firms in Nigeria. The study recommended, amongst others, that firms should consider their size when making financing decisions and adjust their strategies accordingly for enhanced financial stability, growth prospects, and overall success.

Published: September 2024

Unleashing the potential of continuous improvement in teaching/learning in English Language Teaching—ELT requires an appreciation of the difference in spirit between assessment and evaluation. Assessment is frequently confused and confounded with evaluation. The purpose of an evaluation is to judge the quality of a performance or work product against a standard. The fundamental nature of assessment is that a mentor values helping a mentee and is willing to expend the effort to provide quality feedback that will enhance the mentee’s future performance. While both processes involve collecting data about a performance or work product, what is done with these data in each process is substantially different and invokes a very different mindset. This paper first looks at what assessment is and the various aspects involving. Then attention will be turn to evaluation and its components. Furthermore, it will look at testing as a tool used by both assessment and evaluation, lastly some differences between assessment and evaluation will be presented.
