Metabolic Drawings – Or: Drawing metabolic
Authors: Teresa Mayr
Published: December 2024

Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) is considered a pioneer of abstract painting. However, she herself hardly saw her artistic works as products or opus, but rather as a coherent system. Accordingly, the contribution presents and unfolds af Klint's paintings as an alternative version of modernism, an ecosystem or digestive system. This also takes up the mediumistic origin of the paintings: af Klint visualises transcendental messages. Looking forward and seeking out new possibilities (Bashkoff, 2018), she paints for a future that she perceives clairvoyantly.
In text and images, the piece "Metabolic Drawings – Or: Drawing metabolic" develops a speculative landscape that follows the images and convictions of Hilma af Klint: Historical facts are interwoven with pictorial descriptions and culminate in a utopian or dystopian future. Theoretical approaches from Queer Studies and Speculative Feminism are adopted to critically question the reception of af Klint's paintings and of herself. In a way, the essay can be seen as a digestion of digestion.
Breathing with Phytoplankton: Exploring Metabolic Connections with Oceanic Microbes
Authors: Anthea Oestreicher
Published: December 2024

This paper presents an exploration of the interconnectedness between vital metabolic processes of human respiration and phytoplankton photosynthesis. By weaving together ecological sciences with cultural anthropology, eco-feminism, environmental humanities, and artistic practices the paper delves into the intricate metabolic interplay between phytoplankton and humans.
Grounded in the notion of "breathing-with," it navigates through physiological, biological, and sensorial dimensions to elucidate the profound connections between respiration and photosynthesis as metabolic media, fostering alliances in multispecies encounters.

Drawing inspiration from the biological laboratory and the microscopic realm of chlorophyll-bearing organisms, the transformative power of photosynthesis in shaping the planetary atmosphere and sustaining life is highlighted. While underscoring the pivotal role of phytoplankton in oxygen production and carbon dioxide sequestration, it elucidates the challenges and synergistic impacts of oceanic oxygen depletion driven by anthropogenic activities.

Beyond a mere metabolic function, breath emerges as a metaphorical interface for collective action and co-conspiracy, transcending boundaries between human and non-human entities. As such it advocates for a deeper engagement with planetary ecologies and a reimagining of our relationality with the more-than-human world.

Through artistic inquiry and experimental methods, the paper invites readers to reflect on the profound implications of our interconnectedness with phytoplankton, urging a renewed commitment to symbiotic coexistence. In this sense, the act of breathing goes beyond its metabolic function, extending as a form of collective agency in confronting the challenges of an ever-changing world.
How to Get Rid of Loneliness
Authors: Jewellery witch Seraphita
Published: December 2024

"How to Get Rid of Loneliness" refers to a video artwork by Darja Popolitova featured in the Magical Hotspot exhibition at Vent Space Gallery in 2020. In the video, the jewellery witch Seraphita performs a ritual using the Seastone Necklace, a natural stone with a hole worn as a pendant. She taps its surface with her long nails, whispering affirmations as if typing messages on a phone screen. The necklace becomes a ritualistic tool for dispelling loneliness, symbolising a bridge between isolation and connection.
How to Get Rid of Homophobia and Sexism in Your Country
Authors: Darja Popolitova
Published: December 2024

How to Get Rid of Homophobia and Sexism in Your Country is a performative video piece featuring the Drag Face Filter, created for the exhibition Magical Hotspot at Vent Space Gallery in 2020. The work explores pseudomagic through digital augmentation, performative rituals, and speculative identity transformations. In the video, the jewellery witch Seraphita applies a custom augmented reality (AR) face filter to official portraits of conservative politicians, digitally queering their faces with exaggerated drag features such as bold makeup and extravagant eyebrows. This act symbolises a ritual of resistance, challenging societal norms and confronting political authority through speculative digital adornment.

The piece employs Haptic Visuality, blending tactile digital manipulation with performative gestures. The act of scrolling and selecting filters with long, manicured fingernails becomes an embodied ritual, making the interface physically felt through close-up shots and dynamic interactions with the cracked phone screen. This multisensory approach transforms the Drag Face Filter into a charged pseudomagical artefact, blurring the boundaries between political critique, performance art, and speculative jewellery.

Epidemiology of Marfan syndrome: a retrospective cohort study based on the Korean population: A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Jang Shin Yi , Huh June , Kim Duk-Kyung , Park Taek Kyu
Published: December 2024

Purpose: To determine the risk of incidence, prevalence, survival, and death risk for Marfan syndrome (MFS) in Korea.Methods: MFS (10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases [ICD-10] code: Q87.4) data were collected from the Korea National Health Insurance Service between 2006 and 2017. Simple and multiple Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed. The death data of Koreans from 2006 to 2018 were used.Results: The mean age of patients with MFS was 27.2± 16.8 years, 26.5± 15.9 years for males and 28.2± 18.1 years for females (P < 0.01), and the proportion of males was 59.5%. The age-standardized incidence and prevalence in 2017 were 0.51 and 5.70 per 100,000 persons, respectively. The 10-year survival rate was 92.7%. Adjusted hazard ratio increased significantly with age, male sex, heart failure, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, chronic kidney disease, malignant neoplasm, aortic dissection, and abdominal aortic aneurysm.Conclusion: Although the overall 10-year survival rate of MFS was over 90%, the adjusted hazard ratio was significantly higher in the older age group, male sex, and individuals with heart failure, stroke, chronic kidney disease, malignant neoplasm, aortic dissection, and abdominal aortic aneurysm. These results suggest the need for meticulous surveillance of aortopathy in patients with MFS, as it may portend a worse prognosis in aortic dissection and aneurysm, and in older age groups with MFS.
Mechanisms of ceftolozane/tazobactam resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from South Korea: A diagrostic study
Authors: Wi Yu Mi , Kim So Yeon , Ko Kwan Soo
Published: December 2024

Purpose: To identify ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T)-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in Korea and to investigate the resistance mechanism.Methods: We performed antibiotic susceptibility testing for 42 carbapenem-resistant, non-carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa isolates from Korea. Multilocus sequence typing was performed for all isolates. Whole-genome sequencing was performed for four carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates, including two C/T-resistant isolates and two C/T-susceptible isolates.Results: We identified two C/T-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates (P70 and P112) among 42 carbapenem-resistant, non-carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa isolates. We found multiple amino acid substitutions in AmpC, AmpR, efflux pump systems, and a porin protein in C/T-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates. These were not reported previously in C/T-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates.Conclusion: C/T-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates with multiple amino acid alterations were identified, implying that resistance to this novel antibiotics should be constantly monitored.

Published: December 2024

934-1056 (h. 322-448) tarihleri arasında İran ve Irak coğrafyasında hüküm süren Büveyhîler aslen Deylem kökenlidir. Fakir bir aileden gelmekte olup geçimlerini paralı askerlik ile sağlamaktaydılar. Büyük kardeşleri İmâdüddevle lakaplı Ali b. Büveyh’in stratejik zekâsı sayesinde diğer Deylemliler arasından temayüz ederek Fars’ta kendi devletlerini kurmuşlardır. Küçük kardeşleri Ahmed b. Büveyh de ağabeylerinin yönlendirmesi ile 945 yılında Bağdat’a girerek Abbâsî Halîfesi Müstekfî-Billâh’ın emîrülümerâsı olmuştur. Böylece devletin Irak kolu da kurulmuştur. Ahmed b. Büveyh burada devrin icap ettirdiği şekilde halîfeden hilat, lakap ve sancak gibi saltanat alametlerini teslim almıştır. Bunun ardından halîfe, -daha evvel yapılmayan bir uygulama olarak- Büveyhoğullarına verdiği lakap ve künyenin, bütün altın ve gümüş paralar üzerine kendi adıyla birlikte basılması emrini vermiştir. Böylece başa geçen her Büveyhî emîri, bir saltanat alameti olarak kendi adına para bastırmaya başlamıştır. Darb edilen sikkeler üzerinde kelime-i tevhid ile birlikte dua ve ayetler, Büveyhî emîrlerinin adı ve lakabı, varsa kendilerine tabi olan hükümdar adı, dönemin halîfesi, darb yeri ve basım tarihi yer almaktadır. İslâmi vassikkelerde sınırlı sayıdaki tasvirli örneğin arasına, Büveyhî emîrlerinin, -eski İran modelinde bir devlet kurma idealinin de etkisiyle- kendilerini Sâsânî tâcı ve ünvanı ile darb ettirdikleri sikkeler dâhil edilebilir. Yapılan bu çalışmada bir hâkimiyet göstergesi olarak darb edilen sikke örnekleri üzerinden, Büveyhîlerin para bastırmaya gösterdikleri ehemmiyet hakkında bilgi verilerek bunlar üzerinden dönemin siyasi ve ekonomik olayları, emîrler arasında yaşanan otorite mücadeleleri, metbu-tabi ilişkileri ve halîfe ile olan münasebetleri okunmaya çalışılacaktır. Bunun yanında Büveyhî darphaneleri ve bunların işleyişi hakkında da bilgi verilecektir.
APPLICATION OF ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM IN ROAD TRAFFIC CONTROL
Authors: Danyliuk A.H.
Published: December 2024

Abstract: The relevance of the research is determined by the need to optimize traffic light control at intersections to reduce congestion and delays and increase the capacity of intersections. A practical solution to this problem is using intelligent transport systems and specific decision-making subsystems. However, automating such tasks requires scientific research to develop effective algorithms suitable for practical use. This work proposes an approach to optimizing traffic light control at intersections that considers the traffic flow parameters at a specific intersection and those at adjacent intersections, utilizing an ant colony optimization algorithm to optimize traffic light control at neighboring intersections. The results obtained show that this approach is more effective compared to existing methods and has the potential to reduce delays by 10% and increase intersection capacity by 15% and more.
Keywords: Adaptive traffic management, cyber-physical system, intersections, jams, traffic, traffic light controller.

Based on thermodynamic constants, the concentration limits of the initial zinc-containing salt and the range of pH values at which the depositions of ZnS and ZnSe without Zn(OH)2 are possible were calculated. The boundary conditions of the formation of the ZnSxSe1–x solid solution in the hydroxide-hydrazine-thiourea-selenium system were defined by the overlap area between the constructed ZnS and ZnSe formation zones. The task of complex intermolecular interaction between complexed zinc ions and two chalcogenizers in the working solution was solved on the basis of mathematical calculations. A sample of the ZnSxSe1–x film was deposited within the calculated area of its formation, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and elemental analysis.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Moroz O. M. , Mnykh R. V. ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: December 2024

The effect of cavitation phenomena excited by ultrasonic radiation and in a jet-type hydrodynamic cavitator on the change in the phase-dispersed state of hydrated calcium oxide was investigated. The influence of the conditions of cavitation activation of calcium hydroxide on the sedimentation stability of its suspension was established. Based on the analysis of the intensity of sedimentation of Ca(OH)2 particles after cavitation treatment of calcium hydroxide suspension, the probable course of this process in different time periods is proposed. According to the Stokes equation, the distribution of particles by dispersion was calculated, and the dynamics of particle size changes depending on the specific energy introduced into the suspension by cavitation devices were determined. It was established that after cavitation activation, Ca(OH)2 particles acquire a charge, due to which the phase state of calcium hydroxide changes, and its reactivity will increase.

Published: December 2024

The article proposes the use of peroxide initiators for the synthesis of reactive hydrocarbon oligomers with anhydride and carboxyl groups based on hydrocarbon fractions C5–9. Effective initiators of the process were selected, which made it possible to obtain high yields of co-oligomers. Ways of practical application of the synthesized co-oligomers were investigated. The possibility of using reactive co-oligomers for the production of polymeric protective materials and composite materials with specified properties is proposed. Functional groups and double bonds improve the physico-mechanical (adhesion, strength, stability) and chemical (acid number, saponification number) properties of the obtained hydrocarbon oligomers.

Published: December 2024

The article presents theoretical and applied approaches to the integration of economic and mathematical methods of cost-risk phase trajectories and finding the optimal profitability of an enterprise. The initial information of the study is that risk can be one of the main identifiers of the state of fluctuations in the financial results of an enterprise, constantly changing in conditions of uncertainty in doing business, and therefore its value can be determined by various signs of inconsistency, which affects the graphical representation of phase trajectories - isoclines on the plane. The method of finding the optimal value of profitability from introduced credit operations at various interest rates and risks in the financial results diagnostic system allows the area of the zone of real profits and losses of the corresponding enterprise to be calculated as accurately as possible in quantitative terms. Together, these methods improve the results of financial diagnostics of the stability and security of the enterprise.

Collaborative filtering (CF) is a technique that can filter out items that a user might like based on the behaviors and preferences of similar users. It is a key en-abler technique for an effective recommendation system (RS). Model-based recommendation systems, a subset of CF, use data, typically ratings, to construct models for providing personalized suggestions to users. Our objective in this work is to provide a comprehensive overview of various techniques employed in Model-based RS, focusing on their theoretical foundations and practical applications. We explore the core challenges associated with recommendation, including the top-N recommendation problem, and explore the state-of-the-art model-based methods used to address these challenges. In this survey, we categorize these techniques into three distinct classes: matrix factorization, similarity-based, and completion-based methods. To compare their performance, we evaluated these techniques over the MovieLens datasets using two metrics: Mean Average Precision (MAP), Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG), precision and recall.
Mathematical modeling of solid municipal waste landfill surface settlement with regard to organic component biodegradation
Authors:   National University of Water and Environmental Engineering, Shostak L. V. , Martyniuk P. M. ,   National University of Water and Environmental Engineering
Published: December 2024

Landfilling of municipal solid waste generates a number of problems. This article focuses on one of them – the settling of the landfill surface due to organic residue biodegradation. The task of predicting the settlement of the waste storage surface is proposed to be solved within the framework of the theory of filtration consolidation of porous media. Accordingly, the problem of the dynamics of methane and carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere was solved on the basis of known experimental data. The application of the proposed approaches made it possible to avoid modeling microbial dynamics and determining the stress-strain state of the waste storage massif, which would significantly complicate the mathematical model of the problem. Numerical solutions of the corresponding boundary value problem in a variable-time domain were found using the finite element method. Numerical experiments show changes in the dynamics of waste storage surface settlements for the case of taking into account biodegradation effects.

Inflation causes many people to move to gold as an option for savings because gold may be used as a hedging tool against currency devaluation and purchasing power erosion. This has contributed to the increased interest in forecasting the prices at the gold market, just like predicting the prices at the stock market, which exhibits uncertain movement, which can be described mathematically with Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) and Geometric Fractional Brownian Motion (GFBM). This study aims to model Malaysian gold prices using both GBM and GFBM processes and compare the accuracy of these models. Absolute moment and aggregated variance techniques are used to estimate the Hurst exponents to model the prices with GFBM. These models are simulated using the Monte Carlo simulation via the Euler scheme, where the modeled prices will be tested for their accuracy using Mean Average Percentage Error (MAPE). Based on the findings, the MAPE values for both models exhibited significantly low MAPE values, which implies high accuracy in forecasting the gold prices for a long-term period. Nevertheless, the GFBM produces much lower MAPE values than the GBM, thus indicating that the former is more accurate than the latter.

In this study, an attack on the El-Gamal encryption scheme ELG-LUC3-ECC is proposed, which is based on a third-order Lucas sequence over an elliptic curve finite field, using Hastad's and Julta's theorems. Hastad's theorem was used to solve the problem of multivariate modular equations system, whereas Julta's theorem was used to find the solutions of multivariable modular equation. As a result, the minimum amount of plaintext required for a successful attack may be determined. Thus, similar attacks can be prevented if the quantity of plaintext remains within the appropriate range.

The increasing worldwide demand for agricultural goods, particularly tomatoes, underscores the need for effective pest control. Key pests such as Whiteflies, Fruit Fly, and Helicoverpa Armigera pose significant threats to tomato crops. This research proposes a novel approach by integrating modern technologies such as deep learning and the Internet of Things (IoT) to revolutionize traditional pest management methods. Using a portable Pest Counting Device equipped with the YOLOv8 deep learning model on a Raspberry Pi 4B, coupled with the Firebase IoT platform, facilitates instant surveillance of pheromone traps. This integration enables farmers to make informed decisions and optimize pest control efforts. By leveraging the synergy of advanced technologies, farmers can potentially increase crop yields while reshaping conventional pest management techniques. This holistic approach not only gives farmers more control but also diminishes the environmental repercussions linked with conventional pest control methods, highlighting how technology can advance sustainability in agriculture amid persistent pest issues.

This paper investigates the dynamic behavior and locomotion characteristics of vibration-driven robots with wheeled chassis, focusing on the comparison of two types of vibration exciters: a solenoid-type actuator and a centrifugal (inertial) exciter. The research methodology involves 3D modeling using SolidWorks software to design the robots, numerical modeling in Mathematica software to simulate their motion and predict kinematic characteristics, and computer simulation in SolidWorks Motion software to validate the modeling results. The robots utilize overrunning clutches to ensure unidirectional wheel rotation and achieve forward motion through the principle of pure vibratory and vibro-impact locomotion. The influence of excitation frequency and operational parameters on the robot's speed, acceleration, and displacement is analyzed for both types of exciters. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of both solenoid and centrifugal exciters in achieving locomotion, with the centrifugal exciter generally providing lower speeds due to utilizing pure vibration excitation and the solenoid-type actuator offering larger speeds due to operating at vibro-impact conditions. The findings of this study are valuable for researchers and engineers working on the design and optimization of vibration-driven robots for various applications, including pipeline inspection, cleaning, and navigation in challenging environments.

ЗДРАВООХРАНЕНИЕ И МЕДИЦИНА В РОССИИ: ОРГАНИЗАЦИЯ И ПРАВОВЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ
Authors: Тихомиров Алексей
Published: December 2024

Институт организации охраны здоровья не является условием существования и развития института организации клинического процесса и института организации медицинского дела. Организация клинического процесса – это оптимизация диагностических и лечебных мероприятий для получения необходимого клинического результата. Организация медицинского дела – это оптимизация механизмов производства товара (медицинских услуг) для достижения необходимого экономического результата. Организация охраны здоровья в части оплаты медицинской помощи в пользу граждан – это оптимизация финансового трафика как способ опосредования социальной политики государства. Мера организации охраны здоровья не подходит для оценки организации клинического процесса или организации медицинского дела, и наоборот. Совмещение всех трех институтов в едином формате одного, как это свойственно модели Семашко, в том числе, в постсоветском варианте ее сохранения, несмотря на всевозможные реформы, модернизации, реструктуризации, как показывает практика, не продуктивно. Раздельное же существование всех трех институтов по пригодным для каждого из них правилам позволяет им развиваться самостоятельно, без внешнего искажающего вмешательства.

Also we in the next section we make a reference to the impact of one of the most significant negative phenomenon in slovak legislature, namely hypertrophy of the legislation on the stability of legal relationships. Coming from the general to a concrete signs we attempt to classify the principle of legal certainty into legal-theoretical context of principles which define the state as a legal-based establishment and in the following section we turn our attention to the above-mentioned unwanted phenomenon based on overusing the law for the regulation of interpersonal relations. We point out to some certain reasons of the phenomenon, which is also known as „legislative storm,“ or hypertrophy of legal norms, we underline the negative consequences of this unwanted status and in the final section we try to come up with potential solutions pro futuro.

The awarding of state awards and honors in the Slovak Republic can be considered an important means of strengthening constitutional awareness and appreciating the contributions of individuals and institutions to the state and society. It expresses public recognition for merit in various fields including science, culture, sports and others. Despite the fact that these awards are symbolic, they play a key role in strengthening patriotism and national identity. The aim of the contribution is to analyze the historical development of the awarding of state awards and honors from the Czechoslovak Republic to the present Slovak Republic, to analyze the legal foundations and procedures associated with their awarding. Special attention is devoted to the constitutional and legislative changes that shaped the current system of state awards. As a result of our research, we intend to point out the inseparable connection between awarding awards, building democratic values and constitutional awareness in the Slovak Republic.

A reforma do poder judiciário brasileiro à luz das categorias de justiça de Nuremberg
Authors: Souza Helórya Santiago de
Published: December 2024

Os julgamentos de Nuremberg no pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial estabeleceram um padrão de justiça de transição fundado no protagonismo da justiça criminal como mecanismo para (re)estabelecimento de um Estado de Direito, passível de ser aplicado a contextos não necessariamente idênticos ao dos países europeus do século XX. Por essa razão, as chamadas “categorias de justiça de Nuremberg”, sistematizadas por Ruti Teitel, podem ser usadas para entender a transição política vivenciada no Brasil, particularmente no que se refere à tentativa de reforma de instituições públicas. Assim, aplicando os princípios estabelecidos em Nuremberg à Reforma do Poder Judiciário de 2004, o presente artigo pretende demonstrar como esse precedente paradigmático impactou a transformação das instituições de justiça brasileira no que se refere à proteção e promoção dos direitos humanos. A pesquisa partirá de uma metodologia de abordagem, em geral, indutiva, e combinará os métodos procedimentais comparativo e tipológico na construção de suas conclusões.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to satisfy the US FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health regarding the safety of targeted osmotic lysis (TOL), a novel treatment for advanced carcinomas, in Beagle dogs.

METHODS

12 intact Beagle dogs, 6 males and 6 females, were divided into 2 treatment groups of 6, each receiving 3 TOL cycles. For each 6-day cycle, digoxin was administered orally at 0.007 mg/kg q 12 h X 6 days to achieve steady-state plasma concentrations. On days 5 and 6 of each cycle, the animals were exposed to pulsed electric field (PEF) stimulation at a field strength of either 18 or 40 V/min for 2 hours. Following the completion of cycles 1 and 2, animals were observed for 7 days. On the day following the end of cycle 3, the animals were euthanized. A complete macroscopic examination was performed, and tissues were collected for microscopic examination.

RESULTS

As there were no concurrent untreated control animals, only qualitative comparisons were performed to assess potential differences between group 1, which received the digoxin plus 18 V/min PEF, and group 2, which received digoxin plus 40 V/min PEF. No adverse events related to TOL exposure were observed in either group.

CONCLUSIONS

Neither group demonstrated gross or microscopic lesions following 3 rounds of exposure to TOL.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Due to the lack of toxicity noted in the treated animals, TOL warrants consideration as either a standalone treatment option or as an adjunct to surgery or chemotherapy for managing malignant cancer.
Exploring the Path of Mental Health Education for College Students in Higher Vocational Colleges and Universities Based on Virtual Reality Technology
Authors: Luo Le
Published: December 2024

Virtual reality technology helps to improve students’ engagement and interest in learning and has a good potential to be combined with the mental health education of college students in higher vocational colleges and universities. This paper aims to address the current emotion deficiency problem in virtual reality education by designing a cascade classifier for expression classification training and proposing an ICABoost expression classification algorithm. According to the expression classification results, the incentive factors are designed to detect and motivate learned emotions. Furthermore, a proposal is made for applying the AER emotion interaction algorithm to teaching. The ICABoost classification algorithm is experimentally tested to have an F1 value of 93.52%, a recall rate of 93.50% and an accuracy rate of 95.10%, which is excellent among all similar algorithms. Applying improved virtual reality technology as a mental health teaching method in this paper significantly improves students’ mental health, and students generally have a high degree of acceptance of the new method.

With the development of information technology, the development of decision support systems has been well used in the field of student sports training. In this paper, the decision tree algorithm is first improved, and an intelligent decision support model based on this algorithm is established, which reduces the amount of computation when choosing the attribute gain value when building the tree and improves the system operation speed. Data mining and sports training program generation modules are added to the template of this intelligent decision-making model, and the modules of human-computer interaction, training program development, data mining, data warehouse management, and model library, i.e., knowledge base, are designed in detail. On the basis of the development platform and development tools, the access to the system database and the operation of the decision support system for college students’ sports training plan was realized. Intelligent decision support for the sports training group in the various test items under performance enhancement is much higher than the normal training group. In the “pro” test of this project, the degree of performance enhancement and more than double compared to the control group. And the number of injuries in the experimental group is 20% less than that in the control group. It proves that the training plan provided by the system in this paper is more conducive to improving students’ sports performance, reducing the probability of students’ injuries in sports training, and scientifically and effectively accomplishing the task of intelligently adjusting the sports training plan for students in colleges and universities.
