Published: January 2022

The possible scenarios of the transformation of ancient now extinct wolves into a proto-dogs and the domestication of the latter, which could occur repeatedly, often ending for various reasons, are considered. It is noted that only a few ancient dog breeds are similar to their wolf ancestors and the Siberian Husky stands out among them, especially given the fact that now there is more and more evidence that the ancestral home of dogs is Siberia. Attention is drawn to a certain amazing attitude of people in modern society not to dogs themselves, but to their reflection as part of our life, when the word "dog" is often used in everyday speech mainly with a negative connotation. The future of dogs is also predicted, assuming their total DNA registration, which can bring a lot of benefits to both the whole society and its individual members in the form of dog breeders, and to the dogs themselves, as a result of which homeless stray dogs will no longer appear, posing a serious threat to human health and life, and the urban environment, including park areas, will become cleaner.

The Celebrity Imprint: Fan–Celebrity Attachments and Religious Work Among Fans of John Lennon and Johnny Cash
Authors: Riddell Kathleen Ann
Published: January 2022

Based on in-depth interviews, this article examines the relationships fans develop with John Lennon and Johnny Cash. Fan attachments consist of an initial curiosity, to a more profound emotional bond or relationship with “religious” underpinnings. An externalized sense of self and the concept of a product of popular culture doing the work of religion highlight how fans develop relationships because they see more of themselves in the celebrity than do other fans. The notion of gradual development of an interpretive lens helps explain how these shifts happen over time. I conclude by considering what degrees of fan attachment say about the relationship between celebrity fandom and religion.

Esse trabalho tem o objetivo de buscar uma maior compreensão do processo de mediação pedagógica nas concepções e interações educativas com as TDICs a partir das contribuições da Teoria Histórico-Cultural (THC) para a superação da dicotomia do ensino-aprendizagem na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT). É uma investigação bibliográfica embasada em teóricos que tecem reflexões sobre trabalho docente, práticas educativas, Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDICs), pensando propostas de formação integral como aliadas ao processo de desenvolvimento da aprendizagem e formação humana. A articulação dessas dimensões voltadas ao ensino pressupõe uma mediação entre aluno e informação para construção do conhecimento junto ao professor em uma relação dialógica. Evidenciamos ainda, a necessidade de conscientização do professor sobre a responsabilidade que sua ação pedagógica pode apresentar, tanto no social, cultural e no afetivo para humanização daquilo que ensina. A prática educativa respaldada por novas tecnologias sugere novas metodologias que atendam às necessidades dos alunos e propiciem um desenvolvimento integral de cada um deles. Assim, o papel do outro e das relações mediadas pelas tecnologias precisam contemplar aspectos intersubjetivos e intrassubjetivos que serão pensados e relacionados de forma estratégicas pelo professor consciente de seu papel na formação de uma cultura escolar que favorece a autonomia e o respeito aos conhecimentos sociais e culturalmente construídos, como ponto de partida para enculturação e desenvolvimento integral de seus alunos.

Authors: Cross Anne , Galesloot Suzanne , Tyminski Sheila , Hoy Diane
Published: January 2022

The Prenatal Nutrition Tool was created for care providers that work with pregnant clients and aims to support focused conversations on nutrition topics that influence maternal and infant health outcomes. A systematic 9-step product development process that combined findings from the literature with perspectives of nutrition experts and care providers was used to develop the tool. The results of a literature review and a modified Delphi Process (to obtain expert opinion) laid the foundation for the tool content. The final tool incorporated client feedback. More specifically, client feedback helped to refine tool questions. The tool consists of 2 parts: a questionnaire (written survey) and a conversation guide. The questionnaire covers 4 key themes (pregnancy weight gain, multivitamins, life circumstances, overall food intake) in 13 questions. The conversation guide utilizes public health nutrition guidance documents to lead care providers in focused discussions with clients. The tool is not intended to be a screening tool for medical conditions or replace an in-depth prenatal nutrition assessment. The tool can be accessed by any care provider in Canada on the Alberta Health Services website at Prenatal Nutrition Tool | Alberta Health Services .

There is limited data on the effects of cooking classes on male participants. The LiveWell Chronic Disease Management program’s Men’s Cooking Class (MCC) aims to help participants gain skills and confidence with food to manage chronic diseases more independently and improve their health. This paper evaluates whether, and how, the program is effective in achieving its goals.

A qualitative process was used to collect data from past program participants. Data collection included telephone interviews conducted with a sample of 27 past MCC attendees and a focus group held with a subsample of seven participants. Thematic analysis was performed on collected data.

Five major themes emerged, including (i) practical and applicable content, (ii) kinesthetic teaching and learning, (iii) catering to the interests of participants, (iv) tailoring to the demographic, and (v) enjoyment and engagement. Findings indicate the current LiveWell MCC program is effective in meeting its goals. The themes identified are aspects of the program that contribute to this effectiveness.

The thematic findings indicate areas in which to continuously adapt and monitor the effectiveness of this program and serve as recommendations for other programming. Further research on the long-term impact of MCC for self-management of chronic disease is needed.

Published: January 2022

The quantitative indicators of land growth in the Ukrainian part of the Danube delta are considered. Comparison of Landsat satellite images in three key areas of the delta showed that for the period 1975-2020 the area of wetlands at the mouth of the Сhilia channel increased by 1448 hectares due to the accumulation of sediments between the Starostambul and Limba branches and their overgrowth with vegetation. In the area of the Bystroe channel, the area of new lands increased by 1037 hectares due to the artificial deepening of this channel for the Ukrainian ships passage into the Danube River and the deposition of sediments along the coast. A slightly smaller increase in land cover (797 ha) was found in the northern part of the coast of the Ukrainian part of the delta, where saline and carbonate soils are formed. In the future, active land growth is expected in the Musura bay between the mouths of the Starostambul and Sulina branches, ie at the contact of Ukraine and Romania. Some changes in these parameters are expected after a powerful flood in 2021, which will become known after the establishment of a relative equilibrium between the processes of accumulation and erosion after this extreme event.

Authors:   Kherson State University, Sidorovich M. M. , Kundelchuk O. P. ,   Kherson State University
Published: January 2022

Determining the environmental safety of new synthetic plant growth regulators is an urgent problem. Spirocarbon derivatives were subjected to such determination by means of a specially developed system based on phytotests "germinated seeds". This system allows the values of biometric, cytological and biochemical parameters of the phytotest to determine the toxic, cytotoxic, genotoxic (mutagenic) effects and induction of molecular stress by the synthetic chemical substance being tested. This system was used to establish the biological properties of a new drug - a complex of spirocarbon with boric acid - in relation to five phytotests monocotyledons and dicotyledons plants. Phytotesting was performed in the spectrum of concentrations (10-7-10-2 mol/dm3) of this drug. It demonstrated either the absence or presence of a weak toxic effect on phytotests, which did not exceed 30%. The study showed that the plant growth regulator spirocarbon in combination with boric acid has growthregulating properties, the manifestation of which depends on the concentration of the drug and the species characteristics of plants. Only the maximum concentration (10-2 моль/дм3) of the tested drug is slightly toxic to plants. The obtained results testify to the biological efficiency and ecological safety of the synthesized drug. This allows us to recommend it for use in agricultural practice.

Published: January 2022

Mining of split rock or ultramafic igneous rock, located in the Awangbangkal area, Karangintan District, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan Province, causes steep slopes. The formation of the Meratus Mountains is an oceanic bedrock that is exposed to the earth's surface and is mined by local residents using simple tools or semi-mechanical equipment carried out by the company. Positive impacts arise but negative impacts will also build up over time. Day by day more dangerous slopes were formed. The local government became worried because it was dangerous. This writing is compiled based on the results of direct measurements in the field using the Theodolith unit. The measurement results are processed using Autocad Landesktop 2009 software. The analysis is by classifying the slope of the formed slopes according to the data that is already in digitized form. The result is a dangerous area on the east side, because it has a slope of 25% -45% (steep). Although from a geological point of view this area is stable because it is formed by igneous rocks, from the local government side this is a concern for the people who do work in the area.
Optimization of automatic control of the speed of rotation of a marine diesel engine
Authors:   Будуров Николай Игоревич, Горб Сергей Иванович , Яцык Екатерина
Published: January 2022

Annotation – The well-established method of tuning the speed governors (SG) of diesel engines during their operation under conditions of step disturbances, which are characteristic of diesel-generators, cannot be used for the main marine engines, the dynamic modes of which are associated, first of all, with heavy seas, because disturbances cannot change stepwise both along the channel for setting the rotational speed and along the load channel. In this regard, the practical need for the development of a method for tuning the SG of the main engines, which takes into account the peculiarities of their operation in heavy seas, has been determined. The study simulates the automatic speed control system (ASC) of the main marine engine HYUNDAI – MAN B&W 6G70ME-C9.2 of the large crude carrier "GOLDWAY" with the AutoChief 600 electronic SG. The minimum of instability of the controlled parameter was used as an optimality criterion, i.e. the amplitude of the oscillations of the rotational speed of the diesel engine shaft, with the most probable values of the amplitude and period of oscillations (rolling) of the disturbing effect. The study has established that changing the tuning parameters of the governor may lead to local extrema of the optimality criterion when using an electronic governor in the ACS in the factor space of disturbances on a diesel engine, which are typical for heavy seas. It means that the task, requiring finding local extrema using specialized methods, can be set when using an electronic governor in the ACS. However, a significant decrease in the instability of the rotational speed was achieved by carrying out a simple enumeration of the tuning parameters of the SG. It was also found that with a "heavy" propeller, the rotational speed stability can be increased by decreasing the proportional gain, as well as increasing the integrator time.

Published: January 2022

Background: The purpose of this research was to determine histomorphometric changes in busulfan-induced azoospermia after transplantation of AdSCs in guinea pig. AdSCs were isolated from adipose tissue around the testes of guinea pigs and characterized for mesenchymal properties.Materials and Methods: Guinea pigs were allocated into three groups, including the control group without any intervention. To induce azoospermia, groups 2 and 3 received a dose of 40 mg/kg of busulfan with 21 days interval. Group 3 received 1×106 AdSCs in their seminiferous tubules of left testes, 35 days following last busulfan injection, while right testis in the group was considered for comparison as controls. Sixty days following transplantation of cell, histomorphometric and histopathologic changes of the experiments were assessed.Results: After AdSCs’ transplantation, normal spermatogenesis appearance was noticed compared to busulfan-induced azoospermia and AdSCs recovered spermatogenesis, and our findings can be added to the literature in treating azoospermic infertilities.Conclusion: The transplanted AdSCs could induce production of germinal cells using testicular seminiferous tubules and were an effective source in treating azoospermia.[GMJ.2018;7:e1000]

Published: January 2022

Background: Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) is a growth factor and an anti-inﬂammatory cytokine that plays a pivotal role in memory. In this study, we examined the effect of recombinant IGF-2 on memory impairment due to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Avoidance and recognition memory, locomotor activity, neurological deficit score (NDS), and the level of the IGF-2 gene expression were evaluated. Materials and Methods: To induce ICH, 100 μL of autologous blood was injected into the left hippocampus of male Sprague Dawley rats. Recombinant IGF-2 was injected into the damaged hippocampus 30 minutes after the induction of ICH. Then, over two weeks, NDS, locomotor activity, passive avoidance, and novel object recognition (NOR) test were evaluated. Finally, the level of IGF-2 gene expression was evaluated by using the real-time polymerase chain reaction technique. Result: Our results indicated that recombinant IGF-2 injection significantly increased step-through latency (P<0.001) and total time spent in the dark box (P<0.01). However, no significant difference was seen in recognition memory and NDS. Locomotor activity did not significantly change in any group. A significantly reduced level of IGF-2 was observed after two weeks (P<0.05). Conclusion:The results of this study show that a single dose of recombinant IGF-2 injection can influence hippocampus-dependent memories. Importantly, IGF-2 did not change locomotor activity and NDS after two weeks, which probably represents its specific function in memory.[GMJ.2018;7:e1353]

Published: January 2022

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a growing health problem worldwide. In recent years, there has been a rising interest in the relationship between sleep disorders and AF. Several studies have reported higher prevalence and incidence rates of AF in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). However, some believe that OSAHS is not a risk factor for AF; but AF, by itself, is regarded as one of the possible triggers for OSAHS. In this study, the related literature investigating the association between OSAHS and AF was reviewed, and then the possible mechanisms of this interplay were discussed. To conclude, recommendations for further research in this field were presented to researchers and some points were highlighted for physicians.[GMJ.2018;7:e1416]

ПОНЯТТЯ КЛАСИЧНОГО В ОПЕРНІЙ ТВОРЧОСТІ ТА ЯВИЩЕ СУЧАСНОЇ ОПЕРНОЇ КЛАСИКИ
Authors: Chen Xiao
Published: January 2022

Мета дослідження – визначити способи категоризації класичного в музиці, що є найбільш відповідними як до історичного та ціннісно-смислового походження, конститутивних культурних ознак цього явища, так і до типологічних показників оперної творчості – в її інституціональній художньо-функціональній цілісності та музично-мовній специфіці. Методологія роботи зумовлюється поєднанням культурологічного, естетичного, аксіологічного та семантичного підходів, передбачає включення соціокомунікативного ракурсу оцінки художніх явищ та розширення дослідного поля оперознавства у бік сучасних оперних феноменів як наслідування класичним артефактам. Наукова новизна цієї статті полягає у доведенні значущості явища класичного в музиці як для музикознавчого дискурсу, так і для сучасної композиторської творчості. Доводиться, що нова актуальність класичного зумовлюється множинністю буття класичних музичних взірців у сучасному соціумі, у семантичній мережі сучасної культури. Це стає одним з важливих чинників оновлення уваги до класичних засад провідних музичних жанрів, зокрема опери, у творчості сучасних композиторів. Розкривається значення класичної музики – класичного типу музичного мовлення – як головної парадигми на сучасному етапі розвитку професійної академічної музичної традиції, зокрема оперної. Висновки засвідчують, що категоризація класичного в музиці спирається на усвідомлення історичного та ціннісно-смислового значення класичної музики, передбачає конкретизацію поняття про класичне стосовно саме музичного мистецького досвіду, виявляє суттєві дискусійні моменти в обговоренні явища класичної музики – музичної класики; виявляється надзвичайна важливість і широта класичного типу музичного мовлення, відповідно, потреба у збереженні класичного типу музичного мислення, що, зокрема, зумовлює оперний метод сучасної композиторки К. Сааріахо.

Мета роботи полягає в дослідженні впливу мультиінструменталізму на розвиток професійних умінь музиканта. Методологія дослідження спирається на загальнонаукові принципи діалектики, термінологічного, системного та комплексного підходів; дослідження явища мультиінструменталізму (В. Білас, С. Королевський, І. Мацієвський та інші). Під час дослідження були використані такі методи: емпіричні (спостереження, порівняння), загальнологічні (аналіз, синтез, абстрагування). Наукова новизна дослідження полягає у виявленні позитивного впливу мультиінструменталізму на розвиток професійних умінь музиканта. Висновки статті дозволяють говорити про мультиінструменталізм як один із засобів розвитку професійних умінь музиканта. Явище володіння грою на двох або більше не близько споріднених інструментах за умов правильного підходу суттєво розширює перспективи індивідуального розвитку музиканта. В умовах жорстокої конкуренції на ринку праці музиканти-мультиінструменталісти почуваються дещо легше й мають більше шансів для самореалізації. У статті розглянуто переваги, якими володіє мультиінструменталіст для працевлаштування. Опанування більшої кількості інструментів дозволяє керівникам ансамблів краще розуміти учасників свого колективу. Мультиінструменталізм надає музикантам низку фінансових та кар’єрних переваг. Позитивний вплив цього явища спостерігається в діяльності викладачів, композиторів і аранжувальників. Вивчення кількох музичних інструментів значно покращує читку нот з аркуша, розширює світогляд музиканта та його музикальність. Мультиінструменталізм є одним із способів подолання депресії в музиканта. Окрім цього, мультиінструменталісти мають низку переваг і під час роботи в умовах дистанційного режиму. Факт існування мультиінструменталістів-професіоналів, які почуваються впевненіше за мономузикантів у музичному середовищі, дає підстави для ґрунтовнішого вивчення впливу явища мультиінструменталізму на розвиток професійних умінь музикантів.
ПРИНЦИПИ ФОРМУВАННЯ ЦИКЛУ У ПРЕЛЮДІЯХ ОР. 67 І ОР. 74 О. СКРЯБІНА
Authors: Bordonyuk Vladimir Ivanovich
Published: January 2022

Мета роботи – виявлення сутнісних ознак музичного інструментального-фортепіанного символізму і його проявів у жанрі прелюдії в пізніх творах О. Скрябіна: прелюдіях ор. 67 і ор. 74, а також розгляд особливостей циклізації у вищевказаних творах. Методологія дослідження. Методологічною основою дослідження виступають позиції інтонаційного підходу школи Б. Асафьєва, кориговані напрацюваннями польського музикознавства в особі Р. Інгардена, З. Лісси. Використано жанрово-стильовий і аналітичний методи, що дозволяють досліджувати жанрові якості композиції та принцип будови тематизму творів О. Скрябіна, який виявляє нерозривну єдність гармонії та мелодії. Наукова новизна роботи визначена її аналітичним ракурсом, що дозволяє визначити особливості прояву естетико-стильових настанов пізньої творчості О. Скрябіна, а також виявити жанрові принципи формування циклу на прикладі аналізу прелюдій ор. 67 і ор. 74. Висновки. Мінімальний цикл прелюдій ор. 67, що складається із двох мініатюр з ідентичною структурою (репризна тричастинність із розвивальною серединою), нагадує двочастинність ранньої сонати-сюїти, у якій перша частина викладається у вокальній фактурі та потім змінюється інструментально-танцювальною транскрипцією цього ж матеріалу у другій (за принципом «варіації на структуру»). Принципово нову якість з’єднуваності виявляє структура циклу прелюдій ор. 74. Його п’ятичастинність, образно-жанрові складники, відзначені авторськими ремарками, відтворюють цикл кантати-меси. Визначено принцип єдності гармонії і мелодії в тематизмі прелюдій. Водночас стрижнева значущість «прометеєвого» акорду для звукоорганізації циклу поєднується з тонікальною автономією окремих прелюдій. Прелюдії О. Скрябіна пізніх опусів створюють виходи на нові рубежі жанрових якостей композиції, дозволяють виявити «позаскрябінівську» стилістику як символ нової інструктивності – у мисленнєвих акціях музикантів загалом. Новий підхід до циклізації п’єс утворює складні з’єднання смислового порядку, помножені скрябінівським авторським переосмисленням закладеної в них символіки.
МОТЕТ ЯК «ВІДКРИТА ФОРМА»: КОНЦЕПЦІЯ ПЕРЕТВОРЕННЯ В ДУХОВНІЙ МУЗИЦІ АНТОНА БРУКНЕРА
Authors: Yuan Zhang
Published: January 2022

Мета роботи – виявлення природи музичної образності в пізніх духовних мотетах А. Брукнера в аспекті втілення композитором сакральної символіки. Методологія дослідження має комплексний характер, ґрунтується на поєднанні засад культурологічного, семантичного й історико-музикознавчого аналізу, які дають змогу глибше розкрити жанрово-стильову специфіку хорової творчості А. Брукнера. Наукова новизна – на базі актуальних документально-історичних даних, а також сучасних аналітичних підходів до хорової спадщини А. Брукнера виявлено нові виконавські акценти в інтерпретації пізніх духовних мотетів композитора. Висновки. На матеріалі обраних пізніх мотетів А. Брукнера проаналізовано ключові принципи роботи композитора із сакральним текстом. Підкреслено, що для композитора використання релігійної символіки в хорових творах було органічною частиною творчого процесу. Через особливості службової діяльності А. Брукнер створював мотети з урахуванням їхньої ролі в церковному богослужінні. Для сучасних виконавців, які об’єктивно дистанційовані від церковної практики, авторський задум композитора потребує розшифрування. Найважливішим ключем до розуміння художньої ідеї мотетів виступають їхні фінали. Зазначено, що проблема брукнерівського хорового фіналу має прямий стосунок до феномену музичної процесуальності. Наголошується на принципово іншому відчутті часу, що діє в духовних творах композитора: фінальні розділи мотетів не замикають течію музики, а приводять до тієї точки, де музика мислиться такою, що «вічно триває». Завдяки безперервності становлення музичної думки в середині сакрального тексту виникає феномен часу, коли через набуття людиною внутрішньої цілісності розкривається її власна нескінченність. Мотети А. Брукнера утворюють міцний зв’язок між багатовіковою католицькою традицією, носієм якої був композитор, і актуальними цінностями сьогодення.
Lower Cranial Nerve Palsy due to Prevertebral Tuberculosis Infection
Authors: Kim Nakhoon , Kim Hyunkee , Kang Il Mo , Kim Young Seo
Published: January 2022

Prevertebral tuberculosis is a rare infectious disease that often affects immunocompromised patients in developing countries. We present the case of a patient who complained of headache, dysarthria, and dysphagia. Neurological examination revealed multiple cranial nerve palsies, including the hypoglossal, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves. Brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an infiltrative lesion in the prevertebral space, and the biopsy revealed chronic inflammation. On suspicion of immune-mediated inflammation, the patient was treated with intravenous dexamethasone and oral prednisolone, with minimal response. Eleven months after the initial diagnosis, the patient’s neurological symptoms were aggravated, and we detected newly developed pulmonary tuberculosis. After the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, his neurological symptoms improved, and the imaging study demonstrated improvements. Although we lacked positive laboratory or biopsy results for tuberculosis, we suspect that the lesions were distant tuberculosis infections. Tuberculosis should be considered in patients with unknown infiltrative mass-like lesions in the prevertebral spaces.

Der Streit um heiße Luft. Der Einfluss von Interessengruppen auf den EU-Emissionshandel und seine Umsetzung in Deutschland und dem Vereinigten Königreich
Authors: Orlowski Matthias , Gründinger Wolfgang
Published: January 2022

In der ersten Handelsphase nach Einführung des Europäischen Emissionshandelssystems (EU-ETS) kam es zu einer Überallokation von Gratiszertifikaten, so dass es seine ökologische Lenkungswirkung nicht entfalten konnte. Die beiden größten Emittenten der EU, Deutschland und das Vereinigte Königreich, weisen in dieser Hinsicht erhebliche Unterschiede auf. In der vorliegenden Studie werden die Erklärungsfaktoren für diese nationalen Unterschiede ausgearbeitet. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass es weniger Anpassungs- und Problemdruck sind, als vielmehr der institutionell strukturierte Einfluss von Interessengruppen, der die unterschiedliche umweltpolitische Ambitioniertheit der Nationalen Allokationspläne erklärt. Insbesondere die Rolle des Bundesrates als Vetopunkt und Unterschiede bei der Institutionalisierung von Verhandlungen zwischen gesellschaftlichen und staatlichen Akteuren stellen hier wichtige Erklärungsfaktoren dar.
Investigating Reversibility of Steps in Petri Nets
Authors: de Frutos Escrig David , Koutny Maciej , Mikulski Łukasz
Published: January 2022

In reversible computations one is interested in the development of mechanisms allowing to undo the effects of executed actions. The past research has been concerned mainly with reversing single actions. In this paper, we consider the problem of reversing the effect of the execution of groups of actions (steps). Using Petri nets as a system model, we introduce concepts related to this new scenario, generalising notions used in the single action case. We then present properties arising when reverse actions are allowed in place/transition nets (PT-nets). We obtain both positive and negative results, showing that allowing steps makes reversibility more problematic than in the interleaving/sequential case. In particular, we demonstrate that there is a crucial difference between reversing steps which are sets and those which are true multisets. Moreover, in contrast to sequential semantics, splitting reverses does not lead to a general method for reversing bounded PT-nets. We then show that a suitable solution can be obtained by combining split reverses with weighted read arcs.
Symbolic and Structural Model-Checking
Authors: Thierry-Mieg Yann
Published: January 2022

Brute-force model-checking consists in exhaustive exploration of the state-space of a Petri net, and meets the dreaded state-space explosion problem. In contrast, this paper shows how to solve model-checking problems using a combination of techniques that stay in complexity proportional to the size of the net structure rather than to the state-space size. We combine an SMT based over-approximation to prove that some behaviors are unfeasible, an under-approximation using memory-less sampling of runs to find witness traces or counter-examples, and a set of structural reduction rules that can simplify both the system and the property. This approach was able to win by a clear margin the model-checking contest 2020 for reachability queries as well as deadlock detection, thus demonstrating the practical effectiveness and general applicability of the system of rules presented in this paper.
A Graph Theoretical Framework for the Strong Gram Classification of Non-negative Unit Forms of Dynkin Type 𝔸n
Authors: Jiménez González Jesús Arturo
Published: January 2022

In the context of signed line graphs, this article introduces a modified inflation technique to study strong Gram congruence of non-negative (integral quadratic) unit forms, and uses it to show that weak and strong Gram congruence coincide among positive unit forms of Dynkin type 𝔸 n. The concept of inverse of a quiver is also introduced, and is used to obtain and analyze the Coxeter matrix of non-negative unit forms of Dynkin type 𝔸 n. With these tools, connected principal unit forms of Dynkin type 𝔸 n are also classified up to strong congruence.
