Published: August 2023

Vietnamese students are facing significant academic pressure due to societal and familial expectations, which leads to an unfavorable learning environment. We aim to employ a temporary spatial-temporal stress monitoring system. Using Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology, it collects data on students’ emotional states and incorporates a prediction model, “Reduce Students’ Stress in School” (R3 S), to detect students’ emotional states across school premises. The integration of R3 S and WSN is conducted in three stages. Initially, sensor nodes are deployed in schools to collect emotional data. Subsequently, we introduce a novel hybrid model combining a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network with Long Short-Term Memory networks (1D-CNN-LSTM) to generate a predictive emotional map. This model’s performance, evaluated using RMSE and MAE metrics, shows exceptional precision compared to other LSTM models. When predicting the “stress” condition, the R3 S model achieved a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 10.30 and a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.041. Lastly, we generate a comprehensive map of cumulative emotional conditions, serving as a guide for school counselors. This map aids in fostering a healthy, conducive learning environment.

Authors: Li Kunpeng , Xu Junjie , Zhao Huimin , Deng Wu
Published: August 2023

Most of the flight accident data have uneven distribution of categories. When the traditional classifier is applied to this data, it will pay less attention to the minority class data. Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE), and its improvements are well-known methods to address this imbalance problem at the data level. However, traditional algorithms still have the problems in blurring the boundary of positive and negative classes and changing the distribution of original data. In order to overcome these problems and accurately predict flight accidents, a new Clustered Biased Borderline SMOTE(CBB-SMOTE) is proposed for Quick Access Recorder (QAR) Go-Around data. It generates more obvious positive and negative class boundaries by using K-means for boundary minority class data and safety minority class data respectively, and maintains the original data distribution to the greatest extent through a biased oversampling method. Experiments were carried out on a group of QAR Go-Around data. The data set is balanced by CBB-SMOTE, SMOTE, Cluster-SMOTE algorithm respectively, and the random forest algorithm is used to predict the new data set. The experimental results show that CBB-SMOTE outperforms the SMOTE in terms of G-means value, Recall and AUC.

Published: August 2023

Deep learning models have achieved impressive performance in various tasks, but they are usually opaque with regards to their inner complex operation, obfuscating the reasons for which they make decisions. This opacity raises ethical and legal concerns regarding the real-life use of such models, especially in critical domains such as in medicine, and has led to the emergence of the eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) field of research, which aims to make the operation of opaque AI systems more comprehensible to humans. The problem of explaining a black-box classifier is often approached by feeding it data and observing its behaviour. In this work, we feed the classifier with data that are part of a knowledge graph, and describe the behaviour with rules that are expressed in the terminology of the knowledge graph, that is understandable by humans. We first theoretically investigate the problem to provide guarantees for the extracted rules and then we investigate the relation of “explanation rules for a specific class” with “semantic queries collecting from the knowledge graph the instances classified by the black-box classifier to this specific class”. Thus we approach the problem of extracting explanation rules as a semantic query reverse engineering problem. We develop algorithms for solving this inverse problem as a heuristic search in the space of semantic queries and we evaluate the proposed algorithms on four simulated use-cases and discuss the results.

Authors: Xu Yuting , Wu Zhifang , Zhang Huaxia , Wang Qiang
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: X-ray imaging plays an important role in security inspection. However, the objects are complex, which makes it difficult to automatically detect prohibited and restricted objects. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to develop and test a detection method based on a new image segmentation scheme to solve the problem of detecting prohibited and restricted objects from pseudo-color X-ray images with complex backgrounds. METHODS: The internal mechanism of the influence of different color spaces on image segmentation effect is explored, and the color space component Hi is studied. Furthermore, the mechanism of the new Hi component and the influence law of its adjustable coefficient are revealed. Additionally, a detection method based on Hi color space segmentation for pseudo-color X-ray images is proposed. The segmentation and detection methods are then tested on actual X-ray images. RESULTS: The results show that hue has the greatest influence on image segmentation effect of the pseudo-color X-ray images. For different pseudo-color X-ray images with complex backgrounds, applying the proposed new Hi color space segmentation method achieves overall accuracy of 0.974 and 1.0 in detecting the gun and knife, respectively. CONCLUSION: The new X-ray image detection method based on the Hi color space segmentation proposed in this paper enables to better solve the complex background problem including object overlap and adhesion and thus more effectively meet the requirements of actual security inspection.

Parametric optimization of bar structures with discrete and continuous design variables using improved gradient projection method
Authors: Peleshko Ivan , Yurchenko Vitalina
Published: August 2023

The paper considers a parametric optimization problem for the bar structures formulated as nonlinear programming task, where the purpose function and non-linear constraints of the mathematical model are continuously differentiable functions of the design variables. The method of the objective function gradient projection onto the active constraints surface with simultaneous correction of the constraints violations has been used to solve the parametric optimization problem. A discretization technique for the design variables that should vary discretely has been proposed. The discretization of the optimal design solution obtained in the continuous space of the design variables is performed by the purposefully selecting discrete points around the point of the continuous optimum. The comparison of the optimization results presented by the paper demonstrates that improved gradient method together with proposed discretization technique for the discrete design variables converges to better solutions of the problem comparing to the meta-heuristic algorithms.
Impact of falling debris on reinforced concrete slab
Authors: Perelmuter Anatoliy
Published: August 2023

The work is devoted to the analysis of one of the possible limit states, for which the scenario is the collapse of the floor over a remote column, as a result of which a general collapse of the rancake-type collapse occurs. An approximate method of assessing the progressive collapse of a reinforced concrete floor slab of a multi-story building, which will receive an impact from falling fragments of failed structures, is proposed. The technique's underpinning is the dynamic analysis of a simplified module of motion, the form of which is assumed to be similar to that used in the theory of limit equilibrium. It is assumed that the elastic work of the plate has little effect on the final value of the deformation that occurs in the casting in the form of linear plastic hinges. Part of the kinetic energy of the falling debris is transferred to the plate that receives the impact, it is theoretically as in the classical case the completeness of the plastic impact. The resulting differential equation of motion is integrated in a closed form. The use of the proposed technique is demonstrated with the help of an illustrative example.

Optimization of the force mode of range change in an articulated boom system with a geared sector at a fixed mode of crane rotation
Authors: Loveykin Vyacheslav , Romasevich Yuriy , Palamarchuk Dmytro , Loveykin Andriy
Published: August 2023

Variational calculus methods were used to optimize the boom system's flight change mode. For this, a variational problem is set, which includes the differential equations of motion of the jib system, the optimization criterion, and the boundary conditions of the movement when the departure and rotation of the crane are changed. The root-mean-square value of the drive torque of the flight change mechanism during the start-up process, which is an integral function, was chosen as the criterion for optimizing the movement mode of the boom system. The kinematic characteristics of the mechanism for changing the departure of the boom system from the state of rest to reaching the steady speed of the load, at the steady angular speed of the turning mechanism, were chosen as boundary conditions. Such boundary conditions eliminate fluctuations of the load on the flexible suspension after the end of the start-up process when the departure is changed

As a result of the numerical solution of the given variational problem, graphical dependencies of the optimal kinematic, power and energy characteristics in the process of starting the flight change mechanism, with a fixed mode of rotation of the crane, were constructed. The obtained optimal mode of movement of the departure change mechanism eliminates load fluctuations on the flexible suspension and minimizes dynamic loads.
Bending of a plate from a functionally heterogeneous material in the presence of large deformations
Authors: Steblyanko Pavlo , Domichev Kostyantyn , Petrov Oleksandr
Published: August 2023

Details and elements of structures, which are made of functionally heterogeneous materials and have the property of shape memory and behave pseudo-elastically, may be under the influence of complex loads in the process of manufacturing and operation. Uneven heating of bodies in combination with force factors can lead to large deformations of the material and complex deformation processes. The existing models of the behavior of such elements do not take into account the nonlinearity of geometric relationships and are unsuitable for use with large deformations.

The article deals with the bending of a plate of finite dimensions from a functionally heterogeneous material in the presence of large plastic deformations. The simulation of plate behavior is based on a nonlinear phenomenological model that describes the properties of shape memory alloys and the thermos-pseudo-plastic behavior of the material at a point. A diagram of a pseudo-elastic material consisting of three curved sections is used.

The first feature of the formulation of the problem of specifying the area of geometric nonlinearity is the formulation of the boundary conditions around the support. If for a linear problem they are set only along the support line, then to refine the geometrically nonlinear solution, the zero vertical displacements of the plate points and, accordingly, the speed of movement were set in the vicinity of the area of contact with the support. The second feature of the refinement is a significant reduction in the number of coordinate integration steps (up to 5%). At the same time, in order to fulfill the condition of stability, a proportional reduction of the integration step over time is necessary. For a reliable comparison of results, it is necessary to increase the number of time integration steps while decreasing the integration steps by coordinates. This problem was solved using a sequence of numerical experiments. The third feature consists in solving the additional problem of interpolation of the required values in the nodes of the new finer grid by the corresponding value in the nodes of the main grid. This problem is solved using a two-dimensional spline function.
Is creeping abandon of human cancer defences evolutionarily favoured?
Authors: Rahm Alexander D. , Pratley Pierre
Published: August 2023

Among the animal species on which observations are available, humans have a uniquely high lifetime risk to suffer from cancer - over 38%, compared to less than 10% for all observed other species (except species suffering from environmental pollution). Peto's paradox shows that this cannot simply be explained by mathematical models which view cancer genesis as a stochastic process, with resulting risks polynomial in lifespan and body mass - whales have a longer lifespan and about 30 times the human body mass, however their cancer risk remains constant throughout their life rather than increasing sharply after female reproductive age as observed in humans. Rather, it is well documented in the literature that species-specific tumour suppression mechanisms allow for large lifespan and body mass. Data which was examined on chimpanzees, being closely related to humans, make it likely that there is a major difference between chimpanzee and human cancer risk, and hence the weakness of human cancer defence is likely to have resulted from the specific development of Homo sapiens. As this weakness appears past the reproductive years, a prominent hypothesis blames it to antagonistic pleiotropy. However, Homo sapiens having lived in small tribes during most of its development, natural selection is likely to also have acted at the level of tribes, which lets us derive our hypothesis, _is creeping abandon of human cancer defences evolutionarily favoured?_ from two alternative speculative scenarios. One of them is based on that lowering tumour suppression activities might save calories and hence benefit tribes with limited food production, the other one suggests that creeping abandon of cancer defences benefits genetical diversity.

Published: August 2023

Introduction. Researchers have pointed out that dialogue itself may be considered from the point of view of intercultural interaction. This is connected with the process of forming intercultural foreign language communicative competence that at recent times has been frequently carried out through information and communication technologies etc. Due to that, we have chosen as the object of our research the humorous dialogues of the Japanese comic performance genre of manzai, which we retrieved from the educational and entertainment video (one of the means of edutainment technology). Methods. Based on the classification of the peculiarities of the dialogues such as communicative, psychological, and linguistic ones developed by Ukrainian researchers we made an analysis of the Japanese dialogues of manzai genre and distinguished their functional types. Results. The analysis of the mentioned above dialogues revealed that first of all the dialogues may be considered as the ones of the combined type from the point of view of their functions. As well as we have clarified that dialogical unities of the analyzed dialogues often may have combinations of peculiarities such as psychological and linguistic ones or linguistic and communicative ones. Also, we have defined the peculiarity which provides the comic effect in these dialogues and serves as the base for what dialogue of such kind is developing. Conclusion. To sum up, it was found that the mentioned above peculiarities of the dialogues play a significant role in the process of forming intercultural foreign language communicative competence. Therefore, we consider this research useful for developing exercises for Japanese language students to form competence in dialogical speech using the educational and entertainment videos of the Japanese comic performance genre of manzai.

Gender Disparity in Chinese Academia: A Conceptual Analysis Through Organizational Theory Lens
Authors: Miao Sanfeng
Published: August 2023

Women academics face unparalleled challenges such as underrepresentation and marginalization in Chinese higher education. A review of the literature revealed a tendency in the scholarly discussions that separates gender from the social and organizational processes, which is a missed opportunity to better understand how gender interacts with the broader social, cultural, and political contexts. Using three major organizational theory perspectives, this conceptual paper addresses the issue of academic gender disparity through analyzing organizational culture, organizational management, and the way higher education institutions interact with the external environments. Higher education institutions are gendered organizations that create, fortify, and reproduce gender inequalities. This essay will provide various methodological, epistemological, and ontological possibilities of interventions for transformative organizational change.

Published: August 2023

Due to the impact of Covid-19, collaborative online international learning (COIL) increasingly plays an important role in the internationalization of higher education. Based on a participatory case study of a COIL program given at Shanghai University (SHU), this paper explores how students, foreign professors, and professors in China prepare, understand, and experience online teaching, learning, and assessment in a COIL program. Three findings include 1). Organizing COIL Programs with a Global Perspective; 2). Enhancing Teaching and Learning through Intercultural Communication; and 3). The Barriers of COIL in Chinese Universities. Taking insiders’ perspectives, we argue that a cultural gap regarding teaching and learning styles can affect COIL programs in Chinese universities, posing challenges for both students and teachers. We suggest that program organizers should focus on the cultural gaps affecting these programs, and provide additional opportunities for intercultural communication to address the cultural gaps.

Published: August 2023

This study focuses on the problem of the implementation of social audit in Ukraine. It covers the history of the development of social audit, preconditions for its formation, the status of Ukraine’s social and economic development. The history of social audit begins in the last century as philanthropy. The concept of forming a social audit is based on the social responsibility of business, which is based on the need to harmonize the interests of society and business. In Ukraine, social audit is developing slowly, due to the excessive influence of state regulation and insufficient maturity of social responsibility in society. The paper assesses the state of social and economic development of Ukraine and indicators of social security and welfare of the population in recent years, their impact on the need for social orientation of business. Thus, in recent years in Ukraine, the evaluation of the indicators of social security and well-being of the population indicates threatening trends regarding the scale of poverty, a decrease in the standard of living of the population, its economic activity and employment. According to experts, Ukraine is in for a sharp drop in the economy and social standards due to the war started by the Russian Federation. That is, by the end of the current year, half of the population in Ukraine will be below the poverty line. The peculiarities of the implementation of a relevant model of social audit in Ukraine are systematised. Social audit from the point of view of business is a tool of influence on local authorities, as well as a guarantee mechanism. Such a model of social audit will allow monitoring intra-organizational relations, creates conditions for diversification of business structures, mastering new technology and sales markets. Further, a case is made for the necessity of implementation of social audit as a separate area of business’ social responsibility, and prospects of the evolution of social audit as part of the national social and economic system are evaluated. Social audit carries out an independent assessment of the activity of the economic system at all levels: state, region, business structure, which forms criteria for evaluating the social, ecological and economic direction of the enterprise, will provide an opportunity to monitor them, and will allow the formation of basic recommendations for ensuring the effectiveness of social responsibility of business.

Improvisational management is not popular among scholars who study organisations, and the topic of improvisation has not been studied extensively outside of the field of management, even though the term improvisational management was formulated and published back in the 90s of the 20th century. This article analyses the peculiarities of improvisational management and the most important models of improvisational management, looks at how improvisation in management is related to competencies of its participants, what degrees it may have on different levels, and how strategic improvisation emerges. In order to improve the understanding of improvisational management in creative industries, the article analyses existing models of improvisational management that encompass learning, real-time decision-making, improvisational communication, collective improvisation, the improvisational process and the matrix of improvisation; moreover, the article discusses the levels of improvisational management, i.e., individual, interpersonal and organisational, as well as their interaction at different degrees of improvisation. According to these models and levels, a new model of improvisational management relations is developed.

The article reveals the problems of social protection of military personnel in Ukraine and trends in preserving and strengthening their health. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the normative and legal support in the context of the implementation of social protection of military personnel in Ukraine. The main tasks of the research include the determination of the peculiarities of the implementation of the mechanism of social protection of military personnel and their social rights through the prism of the corresponding legal status. The guarantees of social security of servicemen provided by the following laws of Ukraine are presented: "On the Armed Forces of Ukraine", "On social and legal protection of servicemen and their family members", "On state guarantees of social security of servicemen who are released from service in connection with the reform of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and members of their families", "On pension provision of servicemen and persons of senior and rank-and-file members of internal affairs bodies". The conclusions show that the system of social guarantees and rights of servicemen is an integral component of the mechanism for ensuring the defense capability of the state, which distinguishes the possibility of ensuring an acceptable level of well-being of servicemen serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is emphasized the importance of the state’s activities, which are aimed at establishing a system of social guarantees and are regulated by current legislation, which ensure the realization of constitutional rights and freedoms, and the satisfaction of the material and spiritual needs of military personnel. At the same time, the essence of social security for servicemen lies in the peculiarities of the military industry and the content of the socially significant status of servicemen, which consists in the need to provide them with adequate social security established at the legislative level.
РЕПРЕЗЕНТАЦІЯ ТІЛЕСНОСТІ У МОДНІЙ ФОТОГРАФІЇ ХХІ СТОЛІТТЯ: АФЕКТИВНИЙ АСПЕКТ
Authors: Cкорик Ірина Геннадіївна
Published: August 2023

У статті розглядається наративно-смислова трансформація модної фотографії у ХХІ столітті. Явище фешн-фотографії перебуває на межі кількох тематичних дискурсів: економічного, оскільки вона рекламує річ для споживачів, соціального, бо формує маркери престижу, та культурно-естетичного, транслюючи смаки та ідеали історичної епохи або періоду. Якщо традиційний погляд на моду бере до уваги одяг і символічні маркери, що ним виражаються, то постмодерний підхід все більше акцентує увагу на тілі, що проглядає з-під одягу. Якщо фешн-акцентом початку ХХІ століття було ідеальне жіночне тіло супермоделей, яке мало викликати захват у глядача, то через десятиліття модне середовище робить спроби звільнитися від репресивності суспільних очікувань щодо краси виснаженого тіла, виводячи на подіум та обкладинки фешн-видань нестандартних моделей, оголюючи унікальні (пігментовані, протезовані, пошрамовані) частини їх тіл. Такі демонстративні прийоми спрямовані на глибокий емоційний вплив на глядача в обхід раціональній концептуалізації колекції. Мета статті полягає в аналізі візуальних акцентів модної фотографії та фешн-перформансів в контексті їх емоційно-афективного впливу на глядача. Афективний підхід полягає в аналізі естетичного чи соціокультурного явища з огляду на його чуттєвий, тілесно-досвідний потенціал. Мода якраз є дискурсом, тісно повʼязаним з практиками тілесності, позиціонування людиною себе у соціумі одночасно із самоусвідомленням та самоприйняттям. Афективний потенціал фешн-продукту – це новий методологічний ракурс, який поглиблює розуміння феномену фешн-фотографії у ХХІ столітті.

During the covid-19 pandemic, many people don’t know the causes, effects, and modes of transmission of the new virus, and the entire world is in a panic state. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), monkeypox is currently on the rise and has spread to Africa. An orthopoxviral based zoonotic illness known as monkeypox causes a smallpox-like vesicular pustular illness in humans. The evolution of monkeypox, epidemiology, with a focus on the number of confirmed, likely, and/or potential cases, age at presentation, mortality, and geographic distribution of cases across West and Central Africa, has been discovered through systematic analysis of the research and published literature. Healthcare practitioners worldwide are attempting to become familiar with the varied clinical manifestations and therapy for this infection, and public health organizations are also seeking to contain the current outbreak. Keywords: Monkeypox; epidemiology; pandemic; preparedness; mortality
The Scalpel and the Salve: Rekindling Romantic Realism
Authors: Farbman Dan
Published: August 2023

This essay argues that the legal realists were romantics in the tradition of Ralph Waldo Emerson. It traces this intellectual genealogy through perspective, vocabulary, and rhetorical strategy. In doing this work, it concludes that Hanoch Dagan’s proposal to reconstruct legal realism does not go far enough. He paints a picture of a therapeutic contemporary use of realist thought (the salve), but gives short shrift to the destructive energy at the core of the movement (the scalpel). Recasting the realists as romantics suggests that the lessons that we might take from them for contemporary legal theory are better framed as “rekindling” than “reconstruction.”
The Rejection of Horizontal Judicial Review During America’s Colonial Period
Authors: Steinfeld Robert J.
Published: August 2023

What we now call judicial review in the United States became part of the American constitutional system during the 1780s. There had been an earlier English tradition of review, which subjected the “legislative” enactments of inferior jurisdictions to reevaluation, but this English tradition rested on the idea that review was an inherently “vertical” enterprise. Only a “superior” jurisdiction was entitled to review and void the enactments of another “legislative” body. The great innovation that American state judges introduced during the 1780s was subjecting the enactments of their own legislatures to review, initiating a constitutionally controversial form of “horizontal” review. This article examines an earlier (failed) effort to introduce “horizontal” judicial review into one American colony. The debate that grew out of this attempt reveals a good deal not only about the underlying ideas upon which judges could draw--even at that time--to justify such a practice, but also about the dominant assumptions of English constitutionalism that worked against this form of judicial review. Significant changes would have to take place in political and constitutional conditions before the case for “horizontal” judicial review could succeed in America.
