Authors: Sarsenova Zhibek , Yedilkhan Didar , Yermekov Altynbek , Saleshova Sabina , Amirgaliyev Beibut
Published: October 2024

This study presents an in-depth analysis of air quality in Astana, Kazakhstan, utilizing both mobile and stationary air monitoring systems over a two-year period. The research focuses on tracking key air pollutants, namely carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), and sulfur dioxide (SO₂), providing a comparative assessment of seasonal trends and the sources of pollution, which include transportation, industrial emissions, and domestic heating during the cold season. The study emphasizes the significance of monitoring systems in urban environments to understand better the impact of air pollution on public health and the effectiveness of sustainable interventions. One of the major insights from this research is the comparison between seasonal variations in pollutant levels and the city's transition toward sustainable energy practices, such as increased gasification and the use of electric transportation, which has already demonstrated a positive impact on reducing emissions during peak heating periods. The results show that while Astana has improved air quality, air pollution remains a concern, especially in winter due to the increased use of solid fuel. This paper emphasizes the importance of real-time data from mobile sensors and suggests their wider use to complement stationary sensors for better monitoring. In addition to pollutant tracking, the study delves into the health implications of prolonged exposure to air pollutants, particularly in urban areas. The study concludes by advocating for expanded use of mobile monitoring systems and advanced data analytics to provide actionable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and public health officials.

Authors: Adamova Aigul , Zhukabayeva Tamara
Published: October 2024

The number of interacting devices is increasing every day, and with this constant innovation, serious security challenges arise. The concept of the Internet of Things is being actively applied in both domestic and industrial settings. Researchers are increasingly highlighting the challenges and importance of network security. Data preprocessing plays an important role in security by transforming the input data corresponding to algorithmic criteria and thereby contributing to the prediction accuracy. The data preprocessing process is determined by many factors, including the processing algorithm, the data, and the application. Moreover, in Internet of Things interactions, data normalisation and aggregation can significantly improve security and reduce the amount of data used further decision making. This paper discusses the challenges of data normalisation and aggregation in the IoT to handle large amounts of data generated by multiple connected IoT devices. A secure data normalisation and aggregation method promotes successful minimised data transfer over the network and provides scalability to meet the increasing demands of IoT deployment. The proposed work presents approaches used in data aggregation protocols that address interference, fault tolerance, security and mobility issues. A local aggregation approach using the run-length encoding algorithm is presented. The proposed technique consists of data acquisition, data preprocessing, data normalisation and data aggregation steps. Data normalisation was performed via the Z-score algorithm, and the LEACH algorithm was used for data aggregation. In the experimental study, the percentage of faulty nodes reached 35%. The performance of the proposed solution was 0.82. The results demonstrate a reduction in resource consumption while maintaining the value and integrity of the data.

Preserving Stem Cells for Potential Use in Future Reparative Medicine
Authors: Chhikara Ankita , Haokip Lamnnunem
Published: October 2024

With its enormous potential for regenerative medicine and therapeutic applications, stem cell preservation represents a major breakthrough in biomedical science. Stem cells are gathered, processed, and stored under carefully monitored circumstances in order to preserve their viability for potential use in the future. Because they may differentiate into a variety of cell types, stem cells—especially those derived from sources like umbilical cord blood—are essential for both therapeutic and research uses. An essential function of cord blood banking is to offer a plentiful supply of immune system cells that may be stored for potential future therapeutic applications. Immunological deficits, osteoarthritis, Parkinson's disease, and heart failure are just a few of the conditions for which stem cell treatments have shown promise. Notwithstanding the promise, there remain obstacles such immunological rejection and the need for more research to fully comprehend the development and functionality of stem cells. It is essential for the general public to be informed about stem cell treatments and cord blood banking in order for expectant parents to make well-informed decisions. Future advancements in the subject depend heavily on resolving ethical issues and enhancing the effectiveness of stem cell-based therapies. To fully realise the promise of stem cell preservation in conventional medicine, more research, creativity, and international cooperation are required.

This article analyzes the representation of repetition in Viva la Dirt League’s online fantasy television series
Epic NPC Man.
The show is a parodic depiction of a fictional multiplayer fantasy computer game in which a variety of non-player characters (NPCs) exhibit varying degrees of self-awareness. The very concept of the show entails an underlying formal reliance upon strategies of reproduction, with the series providing live-action reenactment of various conventional situations from video games. But repetition also appears within the show as an explicit theme, with the characters defined by and in tension with the repetitive dialogue and routines of the game. This article argues that the significance of repetition in
Epic NPC Man
is defined by its relationship to the show’s broader investment in thematizing the escapist properties of fantasy. At one level, repetition emerges as a limit point, the moment at which fantasy breaks down. But the show also asserts repetition’s imaginative potential, situating it in opposition to a ludic, instrumental conception of gaming. The resulting image of fantasy gaming constructs the genre as both liberatory and surprisingly fragile, threatened both by the limitations of technology and by the actions of the players themselves.

We report on the results of an image-based search for pulsar candidates toward the Galactic bulge. We used mosaic images from the MeerKAT radio telescope that were taken as part of a 173 deg2 survey of the bulge and Galactic center of our Galaxy at L band (856–1712 MHz) in all four Stokes I, Q, U, and V. The image rms noise levels of 12–17 μJy ba−1 represent a significant increase in sensitivity over past image-based pulsar searches. Our primary search criterion was circular polarization, but we used other criteria, including linear polarization, in-band spectral index, compactness, variability, and multiwavelength counterparts to select pulsar candidates. We first demonstrate the efficacy of this technique by searching for polarized emission from known pulsars and comparing our results with measurements from the literature. Our search resulted in a sample of 75 polarized sources. Bright stars or young stellar objects were associated with 28 of these sources, including a small sample of highly polarized dwarf stars with pulsar-like steep spectra. Comparing the properties of this sample with the known pulsars, we identified 30 compelling candidates for pulsation follow-up, including two sources with both strong circular and linear polarization. The remaining 17 sources are either pulsars or stars, but we cannot rule out an extragalactic origin or image artifacts among the brighter, flat-spectrum objects.
Stellar Wind Contribution to the Origin of Water on the Surface of Oxygen-containing Minerals
Authors: Civiš Svatopluk , Kubišta Jiří , Plšek Jan , Knížek Antonín
Published: October 2024

The origin of water and volatile compounds on planets including Earth is a hotly debated topic in planetary science. For example, many dynamic models suggest that the majority of Earth’s water and volatile elements were added from an external source. The stellar wind irradiation of rocky oxygen-containing minerals results in a reaction between H+ ions and silicate minerals to produce water and OH, which could explain the presence of water in the regoliths of airless worlds such as the Moon, as well as the water abundances in asteroids. Here, we used the method of high-resolution infrared spectrometry and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) with mass detection to observe and for the first time quantify water formation on the surfaces of oxygen-bearing minerals. We tested 14 different mineral and natural samples and observed the formation of water on their surfaces upon exposure to H+ or D+ irradiation. The samples, including two meteorite samples (RAS 445 and SAU 567), were shown to have a water adsorption capacity between 0.09 and 0.7 wt%. The adsorbed water (likely dissociatively adsorbed) remains on the surface at pressures as low as 10−9 mbar (in the TPD experiment) and temperatures as high as 600 K, which suggests a possible transfer over long distances and timescales. Our article has a general character and demonstrates that any interaction of oxygen-containing minerals with stellar radiation (H+ ions) leads to the generation of water adsorbed on the surface of the minerals. The case of the origin of water on Earth is taken as a prime example.

We present a comprehensive X-ray analysis and spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting of WISEA J171419.96+602724.6, an extremely luminous type 2 quasar at z = 2.99. The source was suggested as a candidate Compton-thick (column density N
H > 1.5×1024 cm−2) quasar by a short XMM-Newton observation in 2011. We recently observed the source with deep NuSTAR and XMM-Newton exposures in 2021 and found that the source has a lower obscuration of N
H ∼ 5×1022 cm−2 with an about four times lower flux. The two epochs of observations suggested that the source was significantly variable in X-ray obscuration, flux, and intrinsic luminosity at 2σ–3σ in less than 2.5 yr (in the source rest frame). We performed SED fitting of this source using Code Investigating GALaxy Emission thanks to its great availability of multiwavelength data (from hard X-rays to radio). The source is very luminous, with a bolometric luminosity of L
BOL ∼ 2.5 × 1047 erg s−1. Its host galaxy has a huge star formation rate (SFR) of ∼1280 M
☉ yr−1 and a huge stellar mass of ∼1.1 × 1012
M
☉. The correlation between the SFR and stellar mass of this source is consistent with what was measured in the high-z quasars. It is also consistent with what was measured in the main-sequence star-forming galaxies, suggesting that the presence of the active nucleus in our target does not enhance or suppress the SFR of its host galaxy. The source is an infrared hyperluminous, obscured galaxy with a significant amount of hot dust in its torus and shares many similar properties with hot, dust-obscured galaxies.

Published: October 2024

To reveal the physical properties of pores and sunspots varying with solar cycle, we carried out a statistical comparison among pores, transitional sunspots, and mature sunspots using Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager from 2010 April to 2023 July. The OTSU method and region-growing algorithm were combined to detect umbrae of 11,876 sunspots covering solar cycles 24 and 25. The relationships between umbral area, continuum intensity (I), line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic field strength (B
los), and line-of-sight velocity (V
los) of umbrae were investigated in detail. The main conclusions are as follows. (1) The steepness between the total magnetic flux and total area of transitional sunspots appears to be flattened in each phase of the observed solar cycles, and does not have a significant variation over the solar cycle. (2) For three groups of sunspots, the umbral physical parameters’ means and their correlations show only minor variations with the solar cycle, which are in error ranges. (3) As the mean umbral LOS magnetic field strength increases, the correlation of the umbral I–B
los increases. The flattening of transitional sunspots in total area–total magnetic flux scatter is related to the evolution of sunspots itself, and may not correspond to the solar cycle. The umbral physical parameters and their correlations do not exhibit a discernible regularity over the solar cycle. Our analysis results contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamic processes of sunspot magnetic fields and give a new perspective on revealing the physical features of vertical magnetic flux tubes.

Le joueur actif , de la catégorie de mécanique de jeu au statut de participation
Authors: Barbier Jean-Emmanuel
Published: October 2024

Une majorité des jeux de société contemporains possède un système de tour de jeu. Il s’agit d’une catégorie de séquence ludique constituée d’une succession d’actions choisies ou prescrites qu’un joueur accomplit avant de passer la main au joueur suivant et ainsi de suite. La mise en acte de cette catégorie du dispositif dans le cadre plus large de la rencontre ludique (Goffman 1961) implique de considérer comment ces éléments de l’action s’articulent avec ceux de la conversation et du monde social particulier qui l’encadre (Barbier 2018 ; Hofstetter 2020). Cet article cherche à décrire comment cette catégorie de joueur actif structure les échanges entre les participants. Pour comprendre comment les participants marquent ou identifient les séquences ludiques dans l’interaction, l’article s’appuie sur le concept de catégorie séquentielle (Evans & Fitzgerald 2017), et les situations où les participants « font le joueur actif » (doing being selon l’expression de Sacks 1985).
Le statut épistémique du joueur-animateur d’un jeu de société complexe sur Twitch lors des explications de règles
Authors: Colón De Carvajal Isabel
Published: October 2024

Cet article a pour objectif d’analyser le statut épistémique du joueur-animateur Maxildan possédant des connaissances préalables sur les règles du jeu lors d’une émission de jeux de société diffusée sur Twitch.Tv. Dans la perspective de l'ethnométhodologie et de l'analyse conversationnelle multimodale, nous cherchons à décrire plus largement comment les postures épistémiques des participants sont co-construites dans l’interaction pendant des séquences d’explication de règles. Notre étude, basée sur huit extraits transcrits et commentés, révèle que le statut épistémique de Maxildan peut fluctuer d’un gradient épistémique d’expert K+ vers moins expert K- en fonction des questions des co-joueurs. L'analyse met en lumière des choix stratégiques de la part du joueur-animateur qui permettent ne pas bloquer la progression du jeu, comme la recherche différée de règles méconnues. Enfin, les résultats soulignent notamment une corrélation entre les évolutions des postures épistémiques et la dynamique temporelle du jeu.

Published: October 2024

La terminaison des traités relatifs aux droits de l’homme est une anomalie juridique, liée à des périodes de crise, perturbant le fonctionnement des institutions internationales, même lorsqu’elle est prévue par le traité concerné. D’où la nécessité d’encadrer strictement les effets juridiques d’une telle terminaison. L’auteur examine la jurisprudence pertinente de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme sous l’angle du contentieux russe, en insistant sur la décision Pivkina et autres c. Russie , qui offre des éléments précieux au sujet de la compétence de la Cour ratione temporis . Les solutions adoptées par la Cour européenne sont comparées à celles de la Cour interaméricaine et analysées sous l’angle du droit des traités et du droit de la responsabilité internationale de l’État.
Le sentiment de travail empêché : une étude quantitative exploratoire
Authors: François Pierre-Henri
Published: October 2024

Cet article présente une investigation empirique sur le concept émergent de « sentiment de travail empêché » (STE) soutenue par une réflexion théorique. À partir des conceptions de Clot (2010) qui le met à l’origine de nombreuses souffrances au travail, nous proposons de le situer, au sein d’un modèle social cognitif, comme attente de résultat réprimée. Ainsi conçu, le STE trouve sa place au cœur de processus motivationnels potentiellement liés aussi bien à des éléments de santé psychique que de performances professionnelles. Un questionnaire de 70 items a été construit sur la base d’une pré-enquête ; les réponses obtenues auprès d’une population de personnes en activité professionnelle (N = 561) ont fait l’objet d’analyses factorielles. L’analyse sans rotation oppose la plupart des items à ceux exprimant de l’attente de résultat ce qui conforte l’approche théorique. L’analyse avec rotation Varimax révèle huit facteurs : empêchement par les collègues, par la charge de travail excessive, l’attente de résultat faible, le manque de matériel adapté, le manque d’autonomie, la santé défaillante, l’embarras et la communication déficiente. On ne trouve pas de différences de STE Général ou de ses facteurs selon le sexe et ces différences apparaissent très faibles selon l’âge. On relève quelques variations significatives de STE Général ou de ses facteurs selon le niveau de diplôme ou la catégorie socio-professionnelle des répondants. Le STE Général est significativement et négativement corrélé au sentiment d’efficacité personnelle, à la satisfaction dans l’emploi, l’engagement, la satisfaction de vie et le bien-être. Les facteurs du STE sont diversement liés à ces variables. Les limites de cette étude sont discutées ainsi que les perspectives qu’ouvre la prise en compte de ce concept pour les interventions en psychologie du travail.
On the existence of solutions for systems of generalized vector quasi-variational equilibrium problems in abstract convex spaces with applications
Authors: Pan Chengqing , Lu Haishu
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we first introduced systems of generalized vector quasi-variational equilibrium problems as well as systems of vector quasi-variational equilibrium problems as their special cases in abstract convex spaces. Next, we established some existence theorems of solutions for systems of generalized vector quasi-variational equilibrium problems and systems of vector quasi-variational equilibrium problems in non-compact abstract convex spaces. Furthermore, we applied the obtained existence theorem of solutions for systems of vector quasi-variational equilibrium problems to solve the existence problem of Nash equilibria for noncooperative games. Then, as applications of the existence result of Nash equilibria for noncooperative games, we studied the existence of weighted Nash equilibria and Pareto Nash equilibria for multi-objective games. The results derived in this paper extended and unified the primary findings presented by some authors in the literature.
Dynamic multivariate quantile inactivity time and applications in investigation of a treatment effect
Authors: Kayid Mohamed
Published: October 2024

To investigate potentially dependent lifetimes, it is necessary to extend the $ \alpha $-quantile inactivity time to bivariate and multivariate frameworks. To extend this measure to a dynamic multivariate framework, all possible trajectories at time $ t $ are considered. The behavior of the extended $ \alpha $-quantile of inactivity time was investigated in relation to the corresponding multivariate hazard rate function. The $ \alpha $-quantile of the inactivity order is defined and discussed for the multivariate case. The difference between the two bivariate $ \alpha $-quantile functions of inactivity, which is an important measure for studying the effect of treatment on lifespan, was also investigated. This measure was used to analyze the effect of laser treatment on the delay of blindness. Two bootstrap approaches were implemented to construct confidence bounds for the difference measure.
Smooth digital terrain modeling in irregular domains using finite element thin plate splines and adaptive refinement
Authors: Fang Lishan
Published: October 2024

Digital terrain models (DTMs) are created using elevation data collected in geological surveys using varied sampling techniques like airborne lidar and depth soundings. This often leads to large data sets with different distribution patterns, which may require smooth data approximations in irregular domains with complex boundaries. The thin plate spline (TPS) interpolates scattered data and produces visually pleasing surfaces, but it is too computationally expensive for large data sizes. The finite element thin plate spline (TPSFEM) possesses smoothing properties similar to those of the TPS and interpolates large data sets efficiently. This article investigated the performance of the TPSFEM and adaptive mesh refinement in irregular domains. Boundary conditions are critical for the accuracy of the solution in domains with arbitrary-shaped boundaries and were approximated using the TPS with a subset of sampled points. Numerical experiments were conducted on aerial, terrestrial, and bathymetric surveys. It was shown that the TPSFEM works well in square and irregular domains for modeling terrain surfaces and adaptive refinement significantly improves its efficiency. A comparison of the TPSFEM, TPS, and compactly supported radial basis functions indicates its competitiveness in terms of accuracy and cost.

Published: October 2024

Les lieux de rétention, qu’il s’agisse de centres de rétention (CRA) ou de locaux de rétention (LRA), sont des lieux d’enfermement d’étrangers en situation irrégulière sur le territoire français, le temps pour l’administration de s’assurer de « l’effectivité des mesures d’éloignement ». Cet enfermement est actuellement limité à trente-deux jours mais l’adoption de la directive européenne dite « retour » en juin 2008 permettra aux Etats européens d’allonger cette période d’enfermement à six mois (et jusqu’à dix-huit mois s’il est considéré que l’étranger fait obstacle à sa mesure de reconduite).

Les documents cartographiques en ligne sur les migrations internationales
Authors: Bahoken Françoise
Published: October 2024

Le réseau Internet représente aujourd’hui une nouvelle source d’information cartographique, permettant la mise à disposition en accès libre, et souvent gratuitement, de documents autrefois cantonnés dans les atlas ou les revues spécialisées. Pour ce qui est des cartes spécifiques aux déplacements de population, l’importance d’Internet doit toutefois être relativisée. En effet, malgré les potentialités techniques offertes par ce nouveau support et la vulgarisation de la géovisualisation, force est de constater que les cartes sur les mobilités humaines souffrent d’une certaine rareté sur la toile. Par ailleurs, lorsqu’elles y sont présentes, leur valeur ajoutée par rapport à la version papier n’est pas toujours évidente.

Ethical Aspects of Minor Offenses Committed Against Public Order on the Internet
Authors: Tičar Bojan , Primec Andreja
Published: October 2024

Regulating minor offenses (i.e., misdemeanors) against public order on the Internet raises complex ethical dilemmas before society, as it has to balance freedom of expression with protecting individuals from harmful content. As a global, accessible, and relatively anonymous environment, the Internet enables various expressions, ranging from constructive debates to spreading hate speech, fake news, and other socially harmful behavior. In the ethical regulation of offenses against public order on the Internet, it is crucial to balance protecting the individual and maintaining an open, accessible space for expression. The second ethical challenge is the question of surveillance and censorship. Who decides what is acceptable and what is not, and in what way? Government authorities or Internet providers have the power to regulate content online. The ethical aspect is, in fact, a framework for the risk of abuse of power for political, commercial, or other particular interests.

The combination of remote sensing with AI methods such as deep learning, along with tools like geographic information systems, has transformed both spatial analysis and how decisions are made in a variety of fields. In this chapter, the authors show how important these AI technologies and techniques can be for improving the accuracy of information produced by remote sensors when it comes to monitoring water resources managing them sustainably, assessing flooding risks and environmental monitoring, thus contributing to a more informed and sustainable future. Accurate identification of water bodies using satellite images is crucial for purposes such as managing water resources, the environment, urban planning, and reacting to disasters. This study evaluates the performance of three advanced deep learning models DeepLabV3+, U-Net, and FCN in the semantic segmentation when looking at water bodies in pictures taken by Sentinel-2 satellites. The three models were assessed by metrics of accuracy, recall, precision, F1score, and Dice coefficient. The best performer was U-Net: it scored highest overall.

This work is the result of a qualitative assessment of water erosion in the Oued Lakhdar watershed, located within the larger Oum Erbia watershed. The PAP/CAR model and geomatic tools were used for this evaluation. The Oum Erbia watershed, spanning 1664 km2, experiences severe erosion due to factors such as heavy and aggressive rainfall, steep slopes, sparse vegetation, and the predominance of soft rocks. Human activities, including deforestation, vegetation degradation, and inappropriate agricultural practices, have further exacerbated the erosion problem in the Oued Lakhdar watershed. The PAP/CAR method allowed for a qualitative assessment of erosion throughout the entire watershed and the identification of priority erosion zones. Data analysis using the PAP/CAR method revealed five main erosion states: extreme erosion (20.57%), strong erosion (18.56%), moderate erosion (23.02%), notable erosion (27.02%), and weak erosion (10.84%). In total, 62.15% of the watershed experiences moderate to extreme erosion.

Immune cells play complex roles in the formation of keloid. We aimed to investigate the causal relationship between immune cells and keloid and provide genetic evidence for the association between immune cells and keloid risk. Based on data from GWAS, we performed a comprehensive two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis of 731 immune cell traits in 481,912 keloid cases. We used Inverse-Variance Weighted (IVW) method as the primary analysis. Then, a comprehensive sensitivity analysis was adopted to verify the results' robustness, heterogeneity, and horizontal pleiotropy. Finally, reverse MR analysis was performed. The IVW method in forward MR analysis showed that CD66b++ myeloid cell AC was negatively associated with keloid risk (OR < 1, P < 0.05). Consistently, reverse MR analysis showed keloid risk was negatively associated with CD66b++ myeloid cell AC (OR = 0.85, P = 0.012). No significant horizontal pleiotropy or heterogeneity was observed. The results of MR analysis demonstrate a bidirectional causal association between CD66b++ myeloid cell AC and keloid formation, suggesting CD66b++ myeloid cell AC is a protective factor against keloid.

Cutaneous mastocytosis is a rare condition characterized by abnormal mast cell proliferation in the skin. We present the case of a 65-year-old man with recurrent urticaria-like rashes persisting for more than eight years. Despite multiple misdiagnoses as insect bites, examination and biopsy revealed mast cell infiltration. The patient's unique lifestyle, particularly his frequent seafood consumption, adds an intriguing dimension to the case. Treatment with systemic antihistamines and corticosteroids provided symptomatic relief, but long-term follow-up showed the persistence of clinical lesions, indicating that the treatment did not adequately address the underlying cause of the disease. A notable improvement in disease control was observed when the patient's diet was adjusted, suggesting a potential link between food and cutaneous mastocytosis. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis in Syria.

Biotic stress significantly challenges the global citrus industry. Major post-harvest issues include diseases caused by Penicillium digitatum, Penicillium italicum, Geotrichum citri-aurantii, Alternaria alternata, and Phytophthora citrophthora. The negative impact of chemical fungicides on the environment and health necessitates eco-friendly alternatives. This study examines the effectiveness of sodium, potassium, and calcium silicates against common citrus diseases. In vitro tests evaluated mycelial growth inhibition using silicate concentrations from 0 to 10,000 ppm after 7 days at 25°C. Sodium silicate showed the highest efficacy, completely inhibiting P. digitatum and P. italicum at 2000 ppm. Potassium and calcium silicates achieved 100% inhibition against Penicillium spp. at a concentration of 1%. In vivo tests on Sidi Aissa clementines assessed the preventive and curative effects of 1, 2, and 6% silicate salt solutions. Sodium silicate prevented 41% of brown rot, 72% of sour rot, and 100% of green mold at 6%. Calcium silicate at 6% significantly reduced blue mold and black rot by 32% and 74%, respectively. Sodium silicate was most effective in curative treatments, suggesting its potential as a pre- or post-harvest spray to control P. digitatum, P. italicum, and G. citri-aurantii.
