Pairgoth: A Modern and Flexible Software for Efficient Go Tournament Organization
Authors: Barollet Théo , Brisson Claude , Rendu Quentin
Published: January 2025

Pairing players during a Go tournament is a complex task. One must register the players, pair them using a pairing system, gather the results and display the information to the players. Several standalone programs offer these functionalities, however they are often game-specific and maintained and developed by a single person. The pairing itself is non-trivial, because of different pairing systems and of many parameters influencing them. This creates challenges for an intuitive user interface which can be used by non-experts tournament organizers.
      In this article, Pairgoth is presented, a new pairing software inspired from Opengotha, a mainstream Go pairing software heavily used in Europe. Several improvements have been added to the pairing algorithm, which has also been made more generic. New pairing systems can easily be implemented in Pairgoth. Although initially designed for Go, it can easily be used for other games such as Chess, Shogi or Scrabble. Pairgoth consists of a pairing engine coupled with a web-based user interface. This allows management of the tournament from several machines, including smartphones. It already supports Swiss and MacMahon pairing systems, while more options are currently under development (Round-Robin, accelerated Swiss, Amalfi, …).
      Pairgoth was tested in real conditions at the international Grenoble tournament (TIGGRE 2024, 5 rounds Mac-Mahon tournament with top group and super top-group, 158 players from 29k to 7d) and at international Paris tournament (51st TIP, 6 rounds Mac-Mahon tournament with top-group, 160 players from 30k to 8d). Pairgoth was also successfully used during the 2024 European Go Congress in Toulouse, where nearly a thousand players participated. It was used for the prestigious main tournament as well as the majority of the side tournaments. It was recently used in the 2024 KPMC edition, making Pairgoth used in several countries.
      On top of presenting Pairgoth, this article also tackles challenges encountered in pairing engines such as deterministic randomness, non-uniqueness of pairings, and the computation of fair standing criteria.

Si evidenzia l’importanza di recuperare la specificità disciplinare dell’urbanistica, sottolineando il ruolo cruciale della configurazione dello spazio alle diverse scale: urbana, territoriale e geografica. Viene analizzato il rapporto biunivoco tra la forma del territorio e le attività socioeconomiche, evidenziando come la morfologia degli insediamenti influenzi lo sviluppo delle attività umane e viceversa. Si discute la necessità di una rinnovata attenzione alla progettazione dello spazio, affinché le strategie di sviluppo urbano e territoriale siano efficaci e integrate. Infine, si esplorano le innovazioni tecnologiche e l’uso dell’intelligenza artificiale come strumenti per migliorare la pianificazione e il governo del territorio, mantenendo al centro del processo un approccio strategico e consapevole nella definizione delle scelte progettuali.
L’importanza per il Paese di una legge di principi per il Governo del territorio
Authors: Talia Michele
Published: January 2025

La proposta di legge dell’Inu introduce un nuovo paradigma nella pianificazione territoriale e urbana, enfatizzando la rigenerazione urbana, il contenimento del consumo di suolo, la lotta al cambiamento climatico e la transizione ecologica. Si passa da un approccio parametrico a criteri quali-quantitativi, integrando i Livelli essenziali delle prestazioni (Lep) per garantire giustizia ambientale e urbanistica. La proposta include la definizione normativa della rigenerazione territoriale e urbana, con provvedimenti fiscali e l’istituzione di un Fondo nazionale per la rigenerazione. Promuove la co-pianificazione interistituzionale e sostituisce il principio di conformità con quello di coerenza, migliorando la flessibilità degli strumenti di regolamentazione dell’uso del suolo. L’Inu ritiene che queste innovazioni renderanno la pianificazione urbanistica più adeguata alle sfide future, evitando che nuove leggi edilizie o di rigenerazione urbana siano approvate senza un quadro di riferimento generale. La semplificazione delle procedure urbanistico-edilizie deve essere bilanciata per evitare conflitti giurisdizionali e squilibri normativi.
Principi e natura multifunzionale della legge
Authors: Boscolo Emanuele
Published: January 2025

Nella materia a competenza concorrente del Governo del territorio (art. 117, III comma, Costituzione), la legge dello Stato deve dettare i principi fondamentali a cui si deve conformare la legislazione regionale. Le recenti leggi urbanistiche regionali (Marche, Abruzzo, Campania) mostrano sia innovazione che limiti di un modello regionale privo di un programma normativo comune. La proposta dell’Inu prevede un testo legislativo plurifunzionale che definisce il Governo del territorio, includendo edilizia e lotta al dissesto. Il testo sistematizza le sedimentazioni giurisprudenziali e orienta la legislazione regionale con undici principi fondamentali. Propone norme generali per un fondo comune alla legislazione regionale e disegna una rinnovata identità disciplinare dell’urbanistica. La proposta include criteri per leggi di delega al Governo in materia di fiscalità urbanistica e rigenerazione urbana, e sottolinea l’importanza delle dotazioni territoriali per i diritti sociali e di cittadinanza. La proposta mira a garantire giustizia spaziale e qualità urbana, promuovendo un modello di pianificazione flessibile e partecipativo.

Authors: Del Nibletto Marco
Published: January 2025

Questo studio analizza la distribuzione delle amenity a Torino e nelle aree limitrofe, utilizzando il principio della relatedness per comprendere le dinamiche di localizzazione. L’algoritmo di clustering definisce 41 livehood, aree urbane basate sulla compresenza di servizi. Lo spazio delle amenity mostra le correlazioni tra diverse tipologie di servizi, evidenziando cluster di ristorazione e abbigliamento nel centro di Torino. Il test del chi-quadro conferma la presenza di cluster di amenity in specifiche aree urbane, suggerendo che la progettazione urbana dovrebbe considerare queste dinamiche per migliorare la vivibilità. I risultati possono supportare le decisioni di pianificazione urbana, bilanciando il mix di amenity nei livehood e promuovendo uno sviluppo urbano sostenibile e inclusivo. Lo studio evidenzia anche le limitazioni dei dati utilizzati, sottolineando la necessità di ulteriori ricerche per migliorare la comprensione delle dinamiche urbane.

Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVE: In the β-tubulin gene of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, five mutations: His6, Phe167, Glu198, Phe200, and Arg241 have been implicated in reducing albendazole efficacy, with Glu198 and Phe200 being particularly significant. The primary objective of this study was to characterize mutations in the β-tubulin gene of E. bieneusi associated with albendazole resistance. Specifically, the study focused on mutations at codons Glu198 and Phe200 using newly developed primers (EbBtu198/200) with DNA extracted from fecal samples of pigs and humans.METHODS: A total of 38 stored DNA samples, comprising 30 from different pigs and eight from different humans, were analyzed to evaluate the sensitivity of the newly designed primers and optimize the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions. The encoded amino acid sequences were examined to identify the mutations at codons 198 and 200 in the β-tubulin gene of E. bieneusi. Additionally, a phylogenetic analysis was performed using the β-tubulin nucleotide sequences to determine the genetic relationships among different isolates.RESULTS: PCR-amplification of the β-tubulin gene yielded a 427 bp product, with a primer sensitivity rate of 94.74%. Sequencing of 18 gene products revealed that ten sequences from pigs corresponded to Haplotype A, while human samples showed four haplotypes: A, B, C, and D. Notably, a mutation resulting in the substitution of glutamic acid with glutamine at codon 198 (E198Q) was identified, uncovering a potential mechanism for albendazole resistance. Phylogenetic analysis applying the maximum likelihood method demonstrated that all β-tubulin sequences formed a monophyletic group, indicating low genetic diversity among the E. bieneusi isolates.CONCLUSION: This study underscores the significance of mutations in the β-tubulin gene, particularly at codon Glu198, as key factors potentially contributing to albendazole resistance in E. bieneusi. These findings may offer valuable insights for improving treatment strategies in patients harboring isolates with such mutations. Furthermore, the β-tubulin gene analysis revealed limited genetic diversity among E. bieneusi isolates, with distinct haplotypes detected in pig and human samples, suggesting possible host-specific adaptations or transmission patterns.
Concomitant Streptococcus Suis Septic Arthritis and Gouty Arthritis: A Case Report
Authors: Jaruwan Chalat
Published: January 2025

Septic arthritis, when occurring together with crystal-induced arthritis such as gout, can make the diagnosis more difficult and increase the risk of complications compared with septic arthritis without concomitant gout. Streptococcus suis, a common pathogen in swine, can be transmitted from animals to humans. Human infections are rare. Patients often have a history of contact with or consumption of undercooked pork. Most patients present with meningitis, septicemia, endocarditis, and septic arthritis. A 71-year-old man presented with bilateral knee pain, swelling, and fever. Synovial fluid aspiration from the knee revealed intracellular urate crystals and Streptococcus suis on the culture. He was diagnosed with septic arthritis due to Streptococcus suis with concomitant gouty arthritis. The patient was treated with intravenous ceftriaxone and bilateral knee arthrotomy. After clinical improvement, he was switched to oral amoxicillin and completed a total of 4 months of antibiotics. At the 1-year follow-up, his function was near pre-infection levels. This is the first reported case of septic arthritis due to Streptococcus suis, an uncommon pathogen, in a patient with gouty arthritis. Concurrent septic arthritis and gouty arthritis can make the diagnosis more difficult. A high index of suspicion for septic arthritis with gouty arthritis is important for the accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment in order to minimize complications.

Authors: Bai KaiGe , Tan Kim Hua , Alias Jamsari , Mat Norazila
Published: January 2025

Chinese research on livestreaming communication lacks systematic theoretical analysis and comprehensive understanding; hotspots and frontiers are still unclear. Based on the relevant literature in the past ten years (2013-2023) on CNKI, this paper explores the development trends, research status, and keyword clustering in this field. It was found that academic articles on livestreaming communication in China show a significant growth trend. The past decade's research can be divided into three stages of development, and the establishment of strong collaboration among prolific authors, represented by Yu Guoming, Liu Jia, Hua Jie, and Yan Sanjiu, remains elusive. Eight hotspots emerged in live streaming communication research during the four evolutionary phases: webcasting, livestreaming reports, mainstream media, e-commerce live streaming, sports events, media convergence, livestreaming bandwagons, and live streaming platforms. Moreover, five major research frontiers were identified: mobile live streaming, live streaming with goods, slow live streaming, live streaming with goods, and e-commerce live streaming. Regarding knowledge structure, in the cluster analysis, webcasting, e-commerce live streaming, and livestreaming coverage scale are more significant and are the current areas of concern for scholars. This study helps scholars in livestreaming communication to discover new frontiers and distinguish key knowledge subfields.

This study examines the application of the principle of exceptio non adimpleti contractus as a legal safeguard for debtors in bankruptcy cases, addressing the increasing tendency of Indonesian bankruptcy law to favor creditors. Using a normative legal research method, the study analyzes legislation, case law, and judicial decisions to explore how this principle can prevent unjust declarations of bankruptcy. The findings highlight the potential of exceptio non adimpleti contractus to recalibrate the creditor-debtor dynamic, ensuring equitable treatment and fostering a more balanced legal framework. These insights are particularly relevant in the context of modern legal systems adapting to economic complexities, offering both theoretical contributions and practical implications.
Nature-based mitigation of flood risks by mangrove forests in a tropical river delta
Authors:   , Pelckmans Ignace
Published: January 2025

River deltas and estuaries are densely populated regions but face coastal flood risks due to extreme sea level events, particularly as climate change leads to rising sea levels and more instense storms. Nature-based strategies, such as the conservation and restoration of mangroves, are increasingly considered a cost-effective and sustainable addition to traditional flood defences. Cities such as Guayaquil (Ecuador), Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam) and Khulna (Bangladesh) all house millions of people but despite their growing exposure to coastal floods, the mangroves in between these cities and the sea have been largely lost to aquaculture. Yet, how the largescale conversion from mangrove to human land use affects the propagation of flood waves is still unknown. This thesis attempts to fill that knowledge gap by elaborating on how extreme sea levels are heightened or lowered when propagating through a tropical delta, and how this depends on the spatial properties of the complex network of mangroves, estuarine channels and human land use that is intrinsic to most tropical deltas. Hydrodynamic models allow the study of flood wave propagation over the tens to hundreds of kilometres that tropical river deltas typically cover. In this thesis, we present the setup, calibration and evaluation of a hydrodynamic model of the Guayas delta, Ecuador. The model demonstrated that the current mangroves in the delta effectively attenuate incoming extreme sea levels related to El Niño events and prevent the increase in sea level to amplify upstream. Furthermore, we show that the spatial locations of mangroves and aquaculture have a large impact on the attenuation of extreme sea levels with the strongest reduction in case mangroves are uniformly spread over the delta or concentrated upstream. During a field campaign, we measured high water level attenuation in a tropical Rhizophora forest, where aerial roots are several metres high, revealing attenuation rates up to 46 ± 9.8 cm/km, which are the highest attenuation rates ever recorded in a mangrove forest. With this thesis, we show how mangrove ecosystem properties and their spatial location within deltas affect the reduction of extreme water levels when propagating through the complex web of mangroves, channels and aquaculture, which is intrinsic to many tropical river deltas. Human infrastructure in the deltaic plain is often essential for the economic development of these regions, yet this thesis elaborates on where conversion from mangroves to human land use has minor effects on the reduction of high water levels.

Live video is captured using a normal webcam and processed using OpenCV, a sophisticated open-source computer vision library. This project uses Media pipe to implement OpenCV for the air canvas. The Air canvas will let users sketch, write, and present without a keyboard, mouse, or digital presentation equipment. It tracks your hand movements to write, draw, and text. It basically accesses the camera, which shows your hand motions live so the spectator can see what you're doing. Computer vision and real-time processing in the Air Canvas Hand Recognition Project enable more natural and intuitive human-computer interactions.
Strengthening Cloud Security Through Advanced Encryption and Anomaly Detection Techniques for Secure Data Storage and Transmission
Authors: Boye Harikiran
Published: January 2025

The paper makes sense to be concerned about data security and privacy as the dominance of the cloud in the data storage and management space begins. This paper presents a study on enhancing the robustness of the cloud by integrating advanced encryption algorithms with robust anomaly detection mechanisms in order to safeguard sensitive data stored in it. With traditional encryption methods, a strong foundation is laid to protect the data. However, due to the ever-evolving sophistication of cyberattacks, which require more dynamic protection methods, it is important to always look forward to new methods for protecting data from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. This paper combines state-of-the-art techniques in encryption, including homomorphic encryption and quantum-resistant algorithms, together with machine learning-based advanced anomaly detection techniques to detect suspicious activities in real-time. The framework uses real-time encryption mechanisms during data transmission together with anomaly detection systems that monitor the access and activity logs in real-time. These systems use deep learning algorithms such as convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory to detect unusual patterns so they can offer multi-layered security. The frameworks are evaluated using simulations on large datasets of cloud activities. Results show high accuracy in the anomaly detection task with minimal degradation in the need for computational efficiency to scale large cloud environments.
Harnessing the Power of AI: Revolutionizing Metadata Management with Machine Learning
Authors: Chundru Swathi
Published: January 2025

This paper presents the possibility of changing metadata management through AI and ML and proposes an approach to classifying and discovering metadata. This work takes a sample dataset with time-based impedance values ranging from 12.3 to 45.8 seconds and accuracy levels ranging from 0.87 to 0.95 to compare the performance of the various machine learning algorithms, such as decision trees, SVM, random forests, and CNN. It evaluates the performance of AI-based metadata discovery systems on different types of datasets, including healthcare, social media, and finance, by using Python as the core tool. The results found were that CNNs delivered the maximum accuracy of 0.95; however, they consumed more computation compared to others; simpler models like decision trees, which produced lesser accuracy, did so in lesser computation time. It is based on mixed bar-line graphs and impedance charts, describing a trade-off between speed and accuracy. Beyond that, it established the fact that AI systems give a significant boost to efficiency in metadata discovery coupled with classification accuracy in big industries typically associated with big and complex datasets. It indicates that the selection of any model for any specific task has a close relationship with the criticality AI has gained in optimization algorithms for metadata management systems.

The study aims to identify issues related to motivation, innovation, and learning facilities in schools. Its primary focus is to determine the extent to which learning motivation, innovative practices, and school facilities impact the quality of education, particularly at MA Annur 3 Bululawang. The research employs a qualitative method with instruments including interviews, observation sheets, and documentation. The subjects of the study are male students of grade XI at MA Annur 3 Bululawang. The results show that, based on interviews with the biology teacher, students' learning motivation is still relatively low, the learning facilities at the school are incomplete, and innovation in the teaching and learning process is lacking. However, different findings were obtained from student questionnaires and observation sheets, which revealed that students' learning motivation reached 72%, scientific facilities scored 82%, and learning innovation scored 67.6%, all categorized as fairly good. This study highlights the need for synergy between teachers, students, and school management to enhance motivation, availability of facilities, and learning innovation for improved educational quality. It is hoped that this research will encourage more interactive and participatory learning by employing methods that actively engage students, such as project-based learning, group discussions, and simulations.
The Interconnection of Psychedelic Spirituality, Social Justice, and BIPOC Therapist Engagement in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy: Insights from the Psychedelic Therapists Diversity Study
Authors: Oglesby Candace , Beaussant Yvan
Published: January 2025

This paper presents insights from the Psychedelic Therapists Diversity (PTD) study, a qualitative study conducted to understand how BIPOC therapists perceive psychedelic therapy and research. The inciting incident for this research occurred during our collaboration on a clinical trial of psilocybin-assisted therapy for depression in cancer patients.1 Candace Oglesby was the only therapist of color, and the participant population included only a small number of patients of color. Recognizing she was not the only therapist who experienced challenges and barriers to entering the psychedelic therapy space, she realized that studying this experience would fill a significant research gap and could potentially support BIPOC clinicians.

This study aimed to translate the Submissive Behavior Scale (SBS) into Urdu and validate its psychometric properties within the Pakistani context. Conducted in three phases, Phase I involved translating the scale into Urdu by two psychologists and a bilingual expert, following Brislin's (1976) standard translation procedure, which included forward translation, item reconciliation, and back translation. In Phase II, cross-language validity was assessed with 30 adults (15 women and 15 men) aged 18-45 years, showing significant correlations between the original and translated versions, with coefficients ranging from .62 to .84. Phase III involved validating the translated scale with a larger sample of 200 adults (82 men and 118 women), revealing that the Urdu-translated SBS is empirically equivalent to the English version. Confirmatory factor analysis initially indicated a need for model improvement, with CFI = .71, TLI = .66, χ² = 198.78, p < .01, and RMSEA = .10. After applying modification indices, the final model showed improved fit indices: TLI = .90, CFI = .91, χ² = 118.22, p = .04, and RMSEA = .05, confirming an acceptable model fit. The test-retest reliability of the Urdu-translated scale was high, with internal consistency (α = .78) and test-retest reliability (r = .82). The results demonstrate that the Urdu version of the SBS is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing submissive behavior in Pakistani populations.

In the 20th century, educationists and researchers witnessed significant reforms in the Dars-e-Nizami curricula across South Asia, influenced by Western ideas and indigenous reform movements within religious communities. This article examines the evolution of Dars-e-Nizami education, focusing on the contrasting responses of Hindu and Muslim reformers to Western education and its impact on religious and social ideologies. This study utilises a qualitative research methodology, specifically employing discourse analysis, drawing on a comprehensive review of historical documents, academic journals, books, and other scholarly works. Key movements, such as the Deobandi and Aligarh movements, were analysed to understand their roles in modern Islamic education amidst global transformations Moreover, this article also examines how these reform movements shaped the evolution of Dars-e-Nizami curricula, highlighting the tensions between traditionalism and modernity, Indigenous and Western influences, and their implications for religious identity and education in South Asia. Future researchers should explore the socio-economic impact of the shift in madrasa education towards religious instruction and investigate the structural challenges in implementing effective reforms, focusing on creating a cohesive framework that aligns with broader educational goals.
