The new ceramic material for Enviromental Barrier Coatings (EBC) on ceramic material was developed.

The ytterbium monosilicate was deposited using two methods: atmospheric plasma spray (APS) and plasma spray physical vapour deposition (PS-PVD).

Obtained coating was characterized by dense structure and columns typically formed in PS-PVD process were not observed. In comparison with APS-deposited coating, in this method, both elements segregation and formation of ytterbium oxide occurred.

The further research for production of columnar coatings will be necessary.

Developed coatings migh be used for next generations of ceramic materials used for gas turbine and jet engine blades and vanes as a high temperature and corrosion protection.

The first time the ytterbium monosilicate was produced bot by APS and LPPS methods.
Small and Under-Recorded Sites as Evidence for Gayogo̱hó:nǫ' (Cayuga) and Onöndowa'ga:' (Seneca) Regional Settlement Expansion, circa 1640–1690
Authors: Jordan Kurt A.
Published: September 2022

Sites in Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) territory that yield small numbers of artifacts diagnostic of post-Columbian Indigenous occupations typically are treated as ephemeral occurrences, such as resource-procurement stations or travel stop-overs.
However, concentrated attention to such sites that overcomes terminological and recording problems and pays attention to both diagnostic items and temporally ambiguous materials reveals a significantly different pattern. This chapter uses examples from Gayogo̱hó:nǫ' (Cayuga) and Onöndowa'ga:' (Seneca) territory to argue that seventeenth-century Haudenosaunee nations expanded occupation with small-scale settlements and agricultural endeavors in a way that archaeologists have not previously recognized. This expansion likely was related to a peak period in Haudenosaunee political-economic power and prosperity. Small-scale settlements appear largely to have been abandoned when French invasions swept through Haudenosaunee territory between 1684 and 1696. Subsequent Haudenosaunee territorial expansion in the eighteenth century had a very different spatial footprint.

This concluding chapter identifies and discusses common themes woven throughout the volume’s case studies. As Indigenous scholars and citizens of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, the authors also reflect on the theme of Indigenous presence in American archaeology, particularly as the concept relates to the daily work of tribal heritage preservation, government-to-government consultations and other roles, as well as researching with, for, by, and in-between dynamic tribal and academic communities.
Neo-Authoritarian Masculinity in Brazilian Crime Film
Authors: Lehnen Jeremy
Published: September 2022

An incisive analysis of contemporary crime film in Brazil, this book focuses on how movies in this genre represent masculinity and how their messages connect to twenty-first-century sociopolitical issues. Jeremy Lehnen argues that these films promote an agenda in support of the nation’s recent swing toward authoritarianism that culminated in the 2018 election of far-right president Jair Bolsonaro.
Lehnen examines the integral role of masculinity in several archetypal crime films, most of which foreground urban violence, including Cidade de Deus, Quase Dois Irmãos, Tropa de Elite, O Homem do Ano, and O Doutrinador. Within these films, Lehnen finds representations that criminalize the poor, marginalized male; emasculate the civilian middle-class male intellectual, casting him as unable to respond to crime; and portray state security as the only power able to stem increasing crime rates.
Drawing on insights from masculinity studies, Lehnen contends that Brazilian crime films are ideologically charged mediums that assert and normalize the presence of the neo-authoritarian male within society. This book demonstrates how gendered scripts can become widely accepted by audiences and contribute to very real power structures beyond the sphere of cinema.

Authors: Pan Qing-Xin , Li Yang , Wang Nan , Zhao Peng-Fei , Huang Lan , Wang Zhong-Yi
Published: September 2022

Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) can perform non-invasive, low-cost, safe, fast, and simple system structure and functional imaging to map the distribution and changes of root zone. Multi frequency EIT solves the problem that single-frequency EIT can only carry more impedance information than a given single excitation frequency. It still remains challenges to simultaneously obtain multi-frequency electrical impedance tomography. To address the problem, a mixed signal superimposed by multiple frequencies is injected to the object. Essentially, separating the measured mixed voltage signals, which can be used to obtain electrical impedance information at different frequencies at the same time quickly. Since the measurement signal is a multi-frequency signal, the effect of decomposing the multi-frequency signal directly affects the accuracy of imaging. In order to obtain more accurate data, this article used the variational mode decomposition (VMD) method to decompose the measured multi-frequency signal. Accurate amplitude and phase information could be obtained simultaneously at the same time in multi-frequency excitation, and these data could be used to reconstruct electrical impedance distribution The results showed that the proposed method can achieve the expected imaging effect. It was concluded that using the variational modal decomposition method to process the data of multi-frequency signals is more accurate and the imaging effect is better, and it can be applied to multi-frequency electrical impedance imaging in practice.
A Fuzzy Logic Path Planning Algorithm Based on Geometric Landmarks and Kinetic Constraints
Authors: Wang Jinghua , Xu Ziyu , Zheng Xiyu , Liu Ziwei
Published: September 2022

This paper mainly focuses on the path planning of mobile robots in complex two-dimensional terrain. It proposes a fuzzy rule-based path planning algorithm for multiple guide points by changing the spatial point-taking method and combining Dijkstra's algorithm and fuzzy logic algorithm. The planning process of this algorithm divide into three stages. The first stage identifies the edge points of the forbidden area by designing the search space, marks the feasible area widths of the edge points in X and Y directions, and marks their midpoints. The second stage uses Dijkstra's algorithm that does the road map sorting on these marked points and the starting and ending points and takes the lowest cost sequence as the search road map. In the third stage, using a fuzzy logic system to search these road signs one by one until the endpoint area is searched. The simulation results show that this algorithm can solve the complex environment that traditional fuzzy inference algorithms cannot plan. Compared with the graph search algorithm, this algorithm dramatically reduces the planning time and provides more flexible turning angles. This algorithm can better consider the robot's size and the relationship between speed and turning angles while estimating the motion state at each step compared with the sampling algorithm. This algorithm will extend to group path planning and dynamic environment planning in subsequent studies.
Human Detection Algorithm Based on Improved YOLO v4
Authors: Zhou Xuan , Yi Jianping , Xie Guokun , Jia Yajuan , Xu Genqi , Sun Min
Published: September 2022

The human behavior datasets have the characteristics of complex background, diverse poses, partial occlusion, and diverse sizes. Firstly, this paper adopts YOLO v3 and YOLO v4 algorithms to detect human objects in videos, and qualitatively analyzes and compares detection performance of two algorithms on UTI, UCF101, HMDB51 and CASIA datasets. Then, this paper proposed an improved YOLO v4 algorithm since the vanilla YOLO v4 has incomplete human detection in specific video frames. Specifically, the improved YOLO v4 introduces the Ghost module in the CBM module to further reduce the number of parameters. Lateral connection is added in the CSP module to improve the feature representation capability of the network. Furthermore, we also substitute MaxPool with SoftPool in the primary SPP module, which not only avoids the feature loss, but also provides a regularization effect for the network, thus improving the generalization ability of the network. Finally, this paper qualitatively compares the detection effects of the improved YOLO v4 and primary YOLO v4 algorithm on specific datasets. The experimental results show that the improved YOLO v4 can solve the problem of complex targets in human detection tasks effectively, and further improve the detection speed.
Design and Implementation of a Self-Learner Smart Home System Using Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: Güven C. T , Aci M
Published: September 2022

Smart home systems are the integration of technology and services through the network for a better quality of life. Smart homes perform daily housework and activities more easily without user intervention or with remote control of the user. In this study, a machine learning-based smart home system has been developed. The aim of the study is to design a system that can continuously improve itself and learn instead of an ordinary smart home system that can be remotely controlled. The developed machine learning model predicts the routine activities of the users in the home and performs some operations for the user autonomously. The dataset used in the study consists of real data received from the sensors as a result of the daily use. Naive Bayes (NB) (i.e. Gaussian NB, Bernoulli NB, Multinomial NB, and Complement NB), ensemble (i.e. Random Forest, Gradient Tree Boosting and eXtreme Gradient Boosting), linear (i.e. Logistic Regression, Stochastic Gradient Descent, and Passive-Aggressive Classification), and other (i.e. Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, K Nearest Neighbor, Gaussian Process Classifier (GPC), Multilayer Perceptron) machine learning-based algorithms were utilized. The performance of the proposed smart home system was evaluated using several performance metrics: The best results were obtained from the GPC algorithm (i.e. Precision: 0.97, Recall: 0.98, F1-score: 0.97, Accuracy: 0.97).

Authors: Yatsyshyn Svyatoslav , Bobalo Yuriy , Bubela Tetiana , Stadnyk Bohdan , Mykyichuk Mykola
Published: September 2022

The quantum standard of temperature based on the revealed quantum unit of the mentioned quantity is studied. It is recommended first to apply as an intrinsic standard. Such a standard does not need permanently recurring measurements against the realization of the SI unit to validate its accuracy. It may be considered as the intrinsic standard of temperature that could be embedded into cyber-physical systems (CPSs) ensuring their precision operation. The methodological base of involvement of the developed standard in the formation of the thermoelectric power of thermoelectric transducers as well as the generator is considered. The feasibility of a unified consideration of the nature of thermoelectric power within macro- and nanothermodynamics is shown. This approach is driven by the increasing use of nano elements based on 1D-, 2D- nanomaterials (nanowires and nanosheets, respectively) and nanostructured materials in technology, in particular, to improve the key parameters of thermoelectric generators and thermometers. In the first case, this is thermoelectric efficiency, and in the second case, the accuracy of thermometers, which is determined by the stability in a time of thermoelectric power.

Authors: Pinna Roberta , Senes Giovanni
Published: September 2022

This work presents a manufacturing case study focused on reducing waste in a corrugated paperboard packaging company located in Italy. Corrugated paperboard is the primary material used in transporting, distributing, and storing many products, particularly food productions. The project started in September 2020 with the aim of identifying the causes of some waste along the production process and the consequent planning of actions to reduce them. This project was implemented following the logic of lean manufacturing through the use of the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) methodology. The quality control tools for continuous improvement of the manufacturing process are used. The results achieved by the plant are significant in terms of economic and environmental sustainability. From an economic point of view, the measures implemented have allowed the plant to achieve, in the period between September 2020 and March 2021, a decrease from 10% to 9% of the percentage of the waste with a cost reduction approximately of € 17,000 for each of the first three months of 2021. From an environmental point of view, waste reduction is one of the objectives underlying the sustainability strategy adopted by the company, which has long been committed to the responsible management of its production processes to reduce its environmental impact.

Authors: Feng Qisheng , Li Chonghe
Published: September 2022

The titanium industry has been developing for nearly 70 years since the birth of Ti-6Al-4 V alloy. Due to its high specific strength, high and low-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility, titanium alloy is used in aerospace, marine engineering, and biomedical fields. However, the high production cost of titanium alloys currently limits their widespread use like steel and aluminum alloys. Therefore, the low-cost preparation technology for titanium alloys becomes hot research in recent years. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of low-cost preparation technologies for titanium alloys from four aspects: raw materials, melting, hot working and machining, and advanced technologies. This review would be of interest to scholars in related fields.
Application of Liquid Chromatography in the Analysis of Flavonoid Metabolism in Plant
Authors: Van Thi Nguyen Ngoc
Published: September 2022

Plants have evolved the capacity to create a wide range of chemicals during the process of their existence. In contrast to specialized metabolites that accumulate in a small number of plant species, flavonoids are broadly distributed across the plant kingdom. Therefore, a detailed analysis of flavonoid metabolism in genomics and metabolomics is an ideal way to investigate how plants have developed their unique metabolic pathways during the process of evolution. Among the analysis methods used for flavonoids, the coupling of liquid chromatography (LC) with ultraviolet (UV) and/or electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometric detection has been demonstrated as a powerful tool for the identification and quantification of phenolics in plant extracts. This chapter mainly introduces of chemistry and metabolism of flavonoids and the application of liquid chromatography in the analysis of plant flavonoids.
Bonds of Womanhood
Authors: Delfino Susanna
Published: September 2022

Susan Grigsby easily developed strong bonds of womanhood with her mother, and with a network of relatives who shared her same subjection to male authority in the southern patriarchal order. Grigsby could even harbor feelings of sisterhood toward a woman of middle-class origin and refined education such as the governess of her older children was. Yet, class and race barriers prevented her from developing similar feelings for the less fortunate members of her sex, either white and colored, free and enslaved. This chapter illustrates how Susan’s self-opinion as a compassionate mistress was repeatedly put to a test and grossly contradicted by her behaviors. Before the necessity to sell a few slaves, and before cases of pregnancy of some of her bondswomen suggesting rape by a white man, Grigsby plunged into a deep moral crisis. Yet, she always ended up with meeting the behavioral expectations traditionally placed on a married, plantation mistress.
The Availability of Health Care in Appalachia
Authors: Ingram Richard C. , Hogg-Graham Rachel , Williams Timothy , Youngen Katherine
Published: September 2022

The lack of access to healthcare services exacerbates disparities in Appalachia. Although historic and large-scale reforms to the Appalachian health system have been enacted over the years, inadequate access to health services remains a pressing concern for state policy-makers and their rural constituents. This chapter explores present variation in healthcare access among Appalachia’s residents. Using a county-level comparative approach, the study presented in this chapter reveals gaps in Medicaid coverage, provider availability, scope of practice constraints, and number of hospitals between Appalachian counties and peer counties in the rest of the United States. It also details the development of regionwide initiatives to improve access to care, such as the Frontier Nursing Service, Appalachian Regional Healthcare and the National Health Service Corps. However, as the authors note, Appalachia’s lack of health infrastructure requires continued attention and investment if its residents are to maintain good health.
The Appalachian Environment
Authors: Ducatman Alan , Dixon Rachel E.
Published: September 2022

Appalachia’s health outcomes are inextricably linked to its political and environmental development. Many former lumber yards and coal towns are now ageing communities with diminished environments and few opportunities for employment. ARC Appalachia has faced deforestation, widescale fires, coal-related pollution and water contamination as a direct result of its courtship of powerful (yet environmentally destructive) industries. Further, its historic reliance on a single industry (first timber, and then coal) leaves communities vulnerable to labor market restructuring. What are communities to do in the face of rising pressure for economic diversification when they have little infrastracture with which to attract external investors? This chapter tackles this and other questions, arguing that by combining prudent environmental planning with long-term regional investment, Appalachia can achieve sustainable, economic security. However, doing so will require a fundamental paradigm shift away from short-term gains, toward future-oriented sustainable development.
Conclusion

Published: September 2022

Although Appalachia has some of the worst health statistics in the United States, its residents’ strong sense of place and resilience provide reason to hope for its future. This chapter recaps the lessons from previous chapters. In doing so, it positions Appalachia as a complex (and often contradictory) region. While great strides have been made in reducing traditional health inequities among Appalachia’s people, more progress is needed. Further, new health challenges—such as the opioid epidemic and COVID-19—demand adaptability from a region that is still, in terms of health and economic infrastructure, overextended. Creating a culture of health in the mountains will take more than a public health response. It necessitates new ways of thinking about well-being and its intersections with society, the economy, and the environment. However, if policy-makers tailor evidence-based solutions to Appalachia, they will a path forward.
Operation Torch
Authors: Dworak David D.
Published: September 2022

Chapter one focuses on the Allied invasion of North Africa, Operation Torch. The chapter starts by describing the state of US and German military logistics at the beginning of the Second World War. The chapter then transitions to discuss details of support planning for Operation Torch and focuses on the three Allied task force assaults into Morocco and Algeria. Each landing showed that the Allies were inexperienced in amphibious operations and the logistics system had significant challenges meeting the needs of combat forces. The lack of sufficient transportation resources limited Allied mobility and was a major reason that Eisenhower could not achieve his operational objectives.
Impact and Conclusion
Authors: Dworak David D.
Published: September 2022

This chapter argues that the experiences and learning that occurred in and around the Mediterranean directly contributed to later Allied success in Normandy and enabled the subsequent drive across France into Germany. Historians have offered a variety of conclusions concerning Allied Mediterranean strategy, but evidence shows that at the very least operations within the Mediterranean served as a crucible for learning, organizational improvement, and development of specialized equipment. To illustrate this the chapter describes the direct impact each Mediterranean campaign had on SHAEF planning and the conduct of the Normandy (Operation Overlord) landings. Included is the experience General Eisenhower gained as a theater commander in the Mediterranean. The chapter concludes by comparing the Allied and German approach to theater support, ultimately leading to Allied victory and German defeat.
Stage-of-change Assessment Predicts Short-term Treatment Engagement for Opioid Use Disorder Patients Initiated on Buprenorphine

Published: September 2022

Introduction: The emergency department (ED) is an effective setting for initiating medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD); however, predicting who will remain in treatment remains a central challenge. We hypothesize that baseline stage-of-change (SOC) assessment is associated with short-term treatment retention outcomes.

Methods: This is a longitudinal cohort study of all patients enrolled in an ED MOUD program over 12 months. Eligible and willing patients were treated with buprenorphine at baseline and had addiction medicine specialist follow-up arranged. Treatment retention at 30 and 90 days was determined by review of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. We used uni- and multivariate logistic regression to evaluate associations between patient variables and treatment retention at 30 and 90 days.

Results: From June 2018–May 2019, 279 patients were enrolled in the ED MOUD program. Of those patients 151 (54.1%) and 120 (43.0%) remained engaged in MOUD treatment at 30 and 90 days, respectively. The odds of treatment adherence at 30 days were significantly higher for those with advanced SOC (preparation/action/maintenance) compared to those presenting with limited SOC (pre-contemplation/contemplation) (60.0% vs 40.8%; odds ratio 2.18; 95% confidence interval 1.15 to 4.1; P <0.05). At 30 days, multivariate logistic regression determined that advanced SOC, age >40, having medical insurance, and being employed were significant predictors of continued treatment adherence. At 90 days, advanced SOC, non-White race, age > 40, and having insurance were all significantly associated with higher likelihood of treatment engagement.

Conclusion: Greater stage-of-change was significantly associated with MOUD treatment retention at 30 and 90 days post index ED visit.

Authors: Farahmandfard Mohammad Amin , Ebrahimi Hossein Ali , Khanjani Narges , Mirzaee Moghaddameh
Published: September 2022

Background: This study aimed to investigate the relation between air pollution and epilepsy admissions in Kerman, Iran. Methods: In this ecological study, the concentrations of ambient air pollutants and meteorological data were obtained from Kerman Environmental Protection Agency and Kerman Meteorology Organization, respectively. Additionally, epilepsy admission data were obtained from Kerman’s Shafa hospital epilepsy registry. Generalized additive models with lags up to 7 days were used to estimate rate ratios (RRs). Results: Within 2008 to 2020, 894 epilepsy admissions occurred in Kerman, 498 cases (55.7%) of whom were male. The strongest relations of epilepsy admission were observed in the over 59-year group for carbon monoxide (CO) in lag 0 (RR = 2.1455, 95% CI: 1.5823 - 2.9091), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in lag 0 (RR = 1.0409, 95% CI: 1.0282 - 1.0537), and particulate matter under 2.5 microns (PM2.5) in lag 5 (RR = 1.0157, 95% CI: 1.0062 - 1.0252). There were also significant associations for particulate matter under 10 microns (PM10) in the under 18-year group in lag 2 (RR = 1.0064, 95% CI: 1.0029 - 1.0098), ozone in lag 0 (RR = 0.9671, 95% CI: 0.9581 - 0.9761), and sulfur dioxide in lag 5 (RR = 0.9937, 95% CI: 0.9891 - 0.9983). Conclusions: Exposure to CO, NO2, PM2.5, or PM10 air pollutants might be a risk factor for epilepsy admissions in Kerman. Epilepsy patients should better stay away from exposure to polluted air. Staying at home on polluted days or residing in areas with less air pollution might be an option.
Slave Narratives and Epistemic Injustice
Authors: Graham Kevin M. , Arthur Anaja , Frazer Hannah , Griswold Ali , Kitteringham Emma , Klade Quinlyn , Nagahawatte Jaliya ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2022

Epistemic injustice is defined by Miranda Fricker as injustice done to people specifically in their capacities as knowers. Fricker argues that this injustice can be either testimonial or hermeneutical in character. A hearer commits testimonial injustice against a speaker by assigning unfairly little credibility to the speaker’s testimony. Hermeneutical injustice exists in a society when the society lacks the concepts necessary for members of a group to understand their social experiences. We argue that epistemic injustice is necessary to permit the functioning of race-based chattel slavery and that this necessity is illustrated in slave narratives. The testimonies of slave narratives like those of Frederick Douglass, Olaudah Equiano, Harriet Jacobs, and Mary Prince identify and transform a culture of race-based epistemic hermeneutic and testimonial injustice. Through telling their stories, these agents establish their capacity as knowers and thus resist the epistemic injustice that undergirds the oppressive system of race-based chattel slavery. The authors of slave narratives not only identify race-based epistemic injustice, but actively fight against it.
Vulnerabilidade ambiental em Áreas de Proteção Ambiental (APA) do Bioma Mata Atlântica na região sudeste brasileira
Authors: Carvalho Guilherme Oliveira Teixeira de , Silva Nádia Cristina da , Salvio Geraldo Majela Moraes
Published: September 2022

As Áreas de Proteção Ambiental (APA) são Unidades de Conservação (UC) de Uso Sustentável que possuem características naturais relevantes da paisagem, as quais devem ser preservadas. No entanto, essa categoria de manejo geralmente tem apresentado muitas dificuldades e limitações em virtude do seu baixo grau de restrição ambiental, sofrendo diversas críticas oriundas principalmente dos seus objetivos e da sua eficiência de conservação. Esses fatores podem ocasionar maior pressão sobre os habitats naturais e, eventualmente, gerar níveis consideráveis de vulnerabilidade em seu território. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi diagnosticar a vulnerabilidade ambiental das APAs inseridas no domínio do Bioma Mata Atlântica na região sudeste brasileira. Com auxílio do software ArcGIS, foram utilizados dados em Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG) de declividade, geologia, pedologia e uso e ocupação da terra para a determinação do Índice de Vulnerabilidade Ambiental. Os resultados mostraram que as áreas estudadas se enquadram predominantemente nas classes de baixa e média vulnerabilidade. Apesar desse cenário, é necessário implantar ações e medidas que visem reduzir a degradação das áreas de vegetação nativa remanescente, em virtude do avanço principalmente das atividades agrícolas e urbanas existentes nas APA. Portanto, conclui-se que o presente estudo é essencial para o planejamento territorial, podendo subsidiar informações para os planos de manejo dessa e outras categorias de UC.

Este trabajo se centra en la validación de la escala propuesta por Yi y Gong (2013) para medir el comportamiento de co-creación de valor desde la perspectiva del cliente. En el proceso de validación se siguen las recomendaciones de Camisón y Bou (2000). Para ello, se analiza la fiabilidad y validez del instrumento de medida, utilizando una muestra compuesta por 374 usuarios de servicios relacionados con el cuidado personal. Los resultados confirman la multidimensionalidad de la escala para el contexto español, si bien muestran la existencia de cinco dimensiones y quince ítems, frente a los veintinueve ítems y ocho dimensiones de la escala original. Las principales contribuciones se derivan del desarrollo de la escala, toda vez que la aceptación de la misma requiere demostrar su estabilidad en diferentes entornos y situaciones. Con respecto a las implicaciones para la gestión, el estudio contribuye a facilitar la medición del grado de participación activa de los clientes en la entrega y prestación del servicio, cuestión esta que se considera de gran importancia para incrementar la implicación, el compromiso y la lealtad del cliente hacia la organización.
Criminal-legal and operational-investigative measures to counteract "white-collar" crime
Authors: Melikhov Aleksandr Ivanovich
Published: September 2022

Currently, the Russian jurisdiction is endowed with such unattractive features for economic entities as excessive criminalization of offenses that do not pose a public danger, accusatory bias and opportunism of domestic justice. These defects of the punitive system make the development of the system of crime prevention relevant. In the punitive system, the role of the repression is dominant, while in the system of crime prevention it occupies a leading place. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that for further economic growth it is necessary not so much to punish "white-collar" crime, as to prevent it by means of limiting the list of criminally punishable acts in the field of intellectual professional activity and the use of preventive measures. According to the authors, the state policy in the field of professional offenses should change from punitive to preventive. In this regard, it is necessary: 1) decriminalize the minor "white-collar" crimes of minor gravity, highlighting these offenses in a separate chapter of the new Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, and in case of repeated commission of these offenses to bring the offender to criminal responsibility; 2) to spread the practice of using preventive measures in the activities of law enforcement units carrying out operational investigative activities; 3) to introduce departmental indicators of the work of the units of the bodies internal affairs carrying out operational and investigative activities for prevented offenses and unfinished crimes. These measures will prevent a personnel shortage in the field of highly intelligent professions in the context of the introduction of Western sanctions against Russia and will strengthen the economic security of the Fatherland.
Problems of Interaction of Law Enforcement Agencies to Ensure National Security.
Authors: Begeza Vitaliy Vasilevich
Published: September 2022

Ensuring national security and measures to protect it are at the heart of the prosperity of any State and people. The modern national security system of the Russian Federation, which is a complex, multi-level system, plays an important role in ensuring state and public security. The elements of this system are represented by security at various levels, interacting and functioning through direct and feedback links. An important direction of the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation is the consolidation of law enforcement agencies and civil society institutions to create positive external and internal conditions for the implementation of national interests and priorities. In this article, the author examines the activities of law enforcement agencies aimed at ensuring national security and issues of interaction. The problem of the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in the system of ensuring the national security of the Russian Federation is also considered on the basis of an analysis of regulatory legal acts and the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies. The system of ensuring and protecting national security is considered in the totality of subjects in interaction, as well as various bodies, forces, and means of ensuring security at the national level, provided through existing legal norms. What determines the necessary relevance of the important issues under consideration in the current situation.

Fibroblasts produce the majority of collagen in the heart and are thought to regulate extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover. Although fibrosis accompanies many cardiac pathologies and is generally deleterious, the role of fibroblasts in maintaining the basal ECM network and in fibrosis in vivo is poorly understood. We genetically ablated fibroblasts in mice to evaluate the impact on homeostasis of adult ECM and cardiac function after injury. Fibroblast-ablated mice demonstrated a substantive reduction in cardiac fibroblasts, but fibrillar collagen and the ECM proteome were not overtly altered when evaluated by quantitative mass spectrometry and N-terminomics. However, the distribution and quantity of collagen VI, microfibrillar collagen that forms an open network with the basement membrane, was reduced. In fibroblast-ablated mice, cardiac function was better preserved following angiotensin II/phenylephrine (AngII/PE)-induced fibrosis and myocardial infarction (MI). Analysis of cardiomyocyte function demonstrated altered sarcomere shortening and slowed calcium decline in both uninjured and AngII/PE-infused fibroblast-ablated mice. After MI, the residual resident fibroblasts responded to injury, albeit with reduced proliferation and numbers immediately after injury. These results indicate that the adult mouse heart tolerates a significant degree of fibroblast loss with a potentially beneficial impact on cardiac function after injury. The cardioprotective effect of controlled fibroblast reduction may have therapeutic value in heart disease.

Genotype imputation is a foundational tool for population genetics. Standard statistical imputation approaches rely on the co-location of large whole-genome sequencing-based reference panels, powerful computing environments, and potentially sensitive genetic study data. This results in computational resource and privacy-risk barriers to access to cutting-edge imputation techniques. Moreover, the accuracy of current statistical approaches is known to degrade in regions of low and complex linkage disequilibrium. Artificial neural network-based imputation approaches may overcome these limitations by encoding complex genotype relationships in easily portable inference models. Here, we demonstrate an autoencoder-based approach for genotype imputation, using a large, commonly used reference panel, and spanning the entirety of human chromosome 22. Our autoencoder-based genotype imputation strategy achieved superior imputation accuracy across the allele-frequency spectrum and across genomes of diverse ancestry, while delivering at least fourfold faster inference run time relative to standard imputation tools.
A Systematic Review of Studies on Augmented Reality Based Applications in Primary Education
Authors: Çetin Hakan
Published: September 2022

This research aims to examine the researches based on augmented reality-based applications conducted for primary school students between 2015-2021 and to determine the positive and negative effects of this applications on students. The document analysis method was used in the research. In this context, articles containing AR-based applications prepared for primary school students using the keywords “augmented reality”, “primary education”, “elementary education”, “teachers ‘and parents’ perceptions” were examined in ScienceDirect, ERIC, Sagepub and SpringerLink databases. As a result of the research, 48 articles were determined in accordance with the criteria. As a result of the content analysis, these studies were divided into seven different categories under the augmented reality theme: teacher and parent perceptions, reading and literacy skills, science education, special education, language education, mathematics education, and history/social sciences education. It has been observed that these practices improve students’ motivation, academic achievement and remembering skills, increase their vocabulary, help them develop a positive attitude towards lessons, and improve their spatial thinking and creativity skills. In addition, there are also studies that have negative results stating that it limits the imagination, requires a lot of time for the application, it prevents reading because it is distracting, there is no available amount of free AR-based applications, and there are inadequate professional support to teachers for the use of these applications.
