Authors: Alzakkar Ahmad , Mestnikov Nikolai P. , Valeev Ilgiz M.
Published: December 2022

The issue of power system voltage stability, which is one of the key issues in the process of planning and operation of the power system, is considered in the paper. It is noted that neural networks have now been tested in a number of technological incidents in the form of power system voltage instability in various countries. The problem of possible risk of voltage failure due to the loss of its stability in the energy system during its operation is investigated. It is noted that in this regard, conducting a voltage stability analysis is an important procedure in order to timely identify buses with low reliability within the power system. Thus, the control personnel of the power system should take certain measures to avoid any cases of voltage drop within the system. The purpose of this paper is to present a new method for estimating the voltage stability load index (L-index) for a power system using data from optimally placed phasor units (PMUs). The voltage stability load index is evaluated in the work using a recurrent neural network known as the echo state network (ESN). The PMU optimal placement is made taking into account the island operating conditions. The results of the PMUs optimal placement for normal and boundary operating conditions, as well as the evaluation of the L-index using ESN in the IEEE 14 bus system, are presented. A technique for estimating the voltage stability load index in a power system based on a network of echo states using PMU measurements is presented. An estimate of the ESN performance for the L-index has been performed; the results have shown a high accuracy of its estimate under normal and disturbed conditions. It has been proven that ESN development is efficient and provides an accurate evaluation in computations.

Published: December 2022

The basis for ensuring the navigational safety of a ship is knowing the coordinates of its location at a given point in time. In modern conditions, the coordinates of the ship position in most cases are obtained using the global navigation satellite systems. However, there is a problem when using these systems, namely, failures in receiving navigation information from satellites. The causes of failures are interference to the radio signal of both natural origin and artificial (destructive) origin, caused by the interference of radio suppression equipment. A solution to the problem of detection of destructive interference in the radio channel of the satellite-receiver by using navigation on celestial bodies is proposed. The possibility of using navigation on celestial bodies in modern conditions implies efforts to improve this method and includes a set of measures. Among the set of measures, two directions are distinguished. The first direction is the improvement of the means for measuring the navigation parameters. The second direction is the improvement of the computing tools necessary for calculating the coordinates of the ship position, as well as solving navigational problems of ensuring navigation safety, namely, determining instrument corrections, providing time service on the ship, determining illumination and selection of luminaries for observation. The second direction of improving the navigation of the celestial bodies, namely, the identification of the trend in the development of computing means of navigation on the celestial bodies is considered in the paper. As a result of the work, the general trend of the global market which can be used to judge the growth and popularization of the maritime industry, is presented; the uneven development of the functionality of the presented programs is revealed; the advantages and disadvantages of this phenomenon are described. As confirmation of the growing relevance, reports of the international analytical organizations indicating the growth of the marine radio electronics market by 8.1 % per year until 2025 are cited.

Authors: Garibin Pavel A. , Kabanov Sergei A.
Published: December 2022

The development of solutions to increase the throughput capacity of inland waterways through the effective management of the water supply system of the shipping lock chamber corresponds to the priorities of the development of inland water transport of the Russian Federation. The subject of research is the process of leveling the water levels in two communicating vessels. At the present stage of researches development, the solution of this problem is associated with an iterative procedure, the convergence of which essentially depends on the choice of the initial approximation and the step of numerical integration. The method of synthesis of the optimal control of changing the water level in the lock chamber is proposed in the paper (knowledge of an object as a single whole, in the unity and interconnection of its parts). At the same time, the solution of the problem of combined optimal control of a nonlinear system according to the hierarchy of functionals is considered. An idea of a self-organizing optimal controller with Krasovsky extrapolation is given. Particular attention is paid to control optimization at low computational costs in the process of system formation. The use of predictive models proposed in the paper makes it possible to obtain practical algorithms that do not require deep fundamental knowledge of control theory when they are introduced. The efficiency of the studied algorithms, when the process time changes, is shown. The presented solution makes it possible to carry out a comparative analysis of various methods of leveling water levels between the chamber of a shipping lock with a distribution power supply system and the corresponding pool, which allows solving one of the urgent problem of increasing the throughput of shipping locks in a section of the waterway with the unconditional fulfillment of ensuring safe locking conditions.
Preferences for a Mental Health Support Technology Among Chinese Employees: Mixed Methods Approach
Authors: Sun Sijin , Zhang Zheyuan , Tian Mu , Mougenot Celine , Glozier Nick , Calvo Rafael A
Published: December 2022

Background

Workplace mental health is under-studied in China, making it difficult to design effective interventions. To encourage the engagement with interventions, it is crucial to understand employees’ motivation toward seeking help through technologies.

Objective

This study aimed to understanding how Chinese employees view digital mental health support technology and how mental health support technology could be designed to boost the motivation of Chinese employees to use it.

Methods

A mixed methods approach was used. In total, 458 Chinese employees (248/458, 54% female) in 5 industries (manufacturing, software, medical, government, and education) responded to a survey, and 14 employees and 5 managers were interviewed.

Results

Government data and employee responses showed that mental health support in China is limited. In the workplace, Chinese employees experience a lower sense of autonomy satisfaction compared with competence and relatedness. Although managers and employees try to empathize with those who have mental health issues, discrimination and the stigma of mental illness are rife in Chinese workplaces. Digital technologies are perceived as a potential medium for mental health interventions; however, privacy is a major concern.

Conclusions

The results of this study demonstrated the potential of self-help digital mental health support for Chinese employees. Interdisciplinary cooperation between design engineers and mental health researchers can contribute toward understanding the issues that engage or disengage users with digital mental health interventions.
Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine–Clinical Terminology (SNOMED CT) Clinical Use Cases in the Context of Electronic Health Record Systems: Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Vuokko Riikka , Vakkuri Anne , Palojoki Sari
Published: December 2022

Background

The Systematized Medical Nomenclature for Medicine–Clinical Terminology (SNOMED CT) is a clinical terminology system that provides a standardized and scientifically validated way of representing clinical information captured by clinicians. It can be integrated into electronic health records (EHRs) to increase the possibilities for effective data use and ensure a better quality of documentation that supports continuity of care, thus enabling better quality in the care process. Even though SNOMED CT consists of extensively studied clinical terminology, previous research has repeatedly documented a lack of scientific evidence for SNOMED CT in the form of reported clinical use cases in electronic health record systems.

Objective

The aim of this study was to explore evidence in previous literature reviews of clinical use cases of SNOMED CT integrated into EHR systems or other clinical applications during the last 5 years of continued development. The study sought to identify the main clinical use purposes, use phases, and key clinical benefits documented in SNOMED CT use cases.

Methods

The Cochrane review protocol was applied for the study design. The application of the protocol was modified step-by-step to fit the research problem by first defining the search strategy, identifying the articles for the review by isolating the exclusion and inclusion criteria for assessing the search results, and lastly, evaluating and summarizing the review results.

Results

In total, 17 research articles illustrating SNOMED CT clinical use cases were reviewed. The use purpose of SNOMED CT was documented in all the articles, with the terminology as a standard in EHR being the most common (8/17). The clinical use phase was documented in all the articles. The most common category of use phases was SNOMED CT in development (6/17). Core benefits achieved by applying SNOMED CT in a clinical context were identified by the researchers. These were related to terminology use outcomes, that is, to data quality in general or to enabling a consistent way of indexing, storing, retrieving, and aggregating clinical data (8/17). Additional benefits were linked to the productivity of coding or to advances in the quality and continuity of care.

Conclusions

While the SNOMED CT use categories were well supported by previous research, this review demonstrates that further systematic research on clinical use cases is needed to promote the scalability of the review results. To achieve the best out-of-use case reports, more emphasis is suggested on describing the contextual factors, such as the electronic health care system and the use of previous frameworks to enable comparability of results. A lesson to be drawn from our study is that SNOMED CT is essential for structuring clinical data; however, research is needed to gather more evidence of how SNOMED CT benefits clinical care and patient safety.

Chronic depression is a complex disorder with huge societal
repercussions. Although currently used antidepressant drugs are
generally effective, most of these drugs display serious adverse
effects. Moreover, the incompletely elucidated pathological mechanisms
of depression constitutes a bottleneck in development of
antidepressants. Among them, the field targeting neuroinflammation,
which is associated with depression, remains unexplored. Here, we
evaluated neuroprotective and antidepressant properties of a phenolic
phytochemical, hydroxytyrosol (HT). We observed that HT treatment
alleviated depressive-like behaviors in rodent models of learned
helplessness (LH), chronic restraint stress (CRS) and chronic
unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). HT improved hippocampal neuronal
injury with modulation of microglia activation, inflammatory cytokines
production, mitochondrial damage and BDNF signaling pathway, as well as
the cellular level. In addition, targeted metabolomics results showed
that HT compensated for the neurotransmitters deficiency and inhibited
the tryptophan-kynurenine metabolism in the brain of CUMS rats. RNA-Seq
studies confirmed that the antidepressant effect of HT was modulated by
BDNF signaling pathways closely associated with the functions of nerve
fibers, myelin formation, microglia differentiation, and nerve
regeneration. There is potential for developing neuroprotective agents
based on HT to treat depression disorders caused by inflammation-related
neuronal injury.
Compensatory Effects between CO2, Nitrogen Deposition, and Temperature in Terrestrial Biosphere Models without Nitrogen Compromise Projections of the Future Terrestrial Carbon Sink
Authors: Kou-Giesbrecht Sian , Arora Vivek
Published: December 2022

The strength of CO2 fertilisation is a major uncertainty across
terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) and is suggested to be overestimated
without a representation of nitrogen (N) limitation. Here, we compare
TBM projections with and without coupled C and N cycling over
alternative future scenarios (the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways) to
examine how representing N cycling influences CO2 fertilisation as well
as the effects of a comprehensive group of physical and socioeconomic
global change drivers. Because elevated N deposition and N
mineralisation (driven by elevated temperature) have stimulated
terrestrial C sequestration over the historical period, a TBM without N
cycling must exaggerate the strength of CO2 fertilisation to compensate
for these unrepresented N processes and to reproduce the historical
terrestrial C sink. As a result, it cannot reliably project the future
terrestrial C sink, overestimating CO2 fertilisation as CO2 increases
faster than N deposition and temperature in future scenarios.
Model-data comparison of Antarctic winter sea-ice extent and Southern Ocean sea-surface temperatures during Marine Isotope Stage 5e
Authors: Chadwick Matthew , Sime Louise C , Allen Claire S , Guarino M- Vittoria
Published: December 2022

Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e (130-116 ka) represents a ‘process
analogue’ for future anthropogenic warming. Climate model simulations
for MIS 5e have previously failed to produce Southern Ocean sea-surface
temperatures (SST) and sea-ice extent reconstructed from marine sediment
core proxy records. Here we compare state of the art HadGEM3 and HadCM3
simulations of Peak MIS 5e Southern Ocean summer SST and September
sea-ice concentrations with the latest marine sediment core proxy data.
The model outputs and proxy records show the least consistency in the
regions located near the present-day Southern Ocean gyre boundaries,
implying that model simulations are currently unable to fully realise
changes in gyre extent and position during MIS 5e. Including Heinrich 11
meltwater forcing in Peak MIS 5e climate simulations improves the
likeness to proxy data but it is clear that longer (3-4 ka) run times
are required to fully test the consistency between models and data.
Lifecycle, generational, and period effects on emancipative values in Serbia
Authors: Pavlovic Zoran
Published: December 2022

The aim of this paper is to analyse the lifecycle, generation?al, and period
effects on emancipative value preferences in Serbia. The data used in the
analysis was collected in the World Values Survey (WVS), conducted in Serbia
in 1996 (N = 1,280), 2006 (N = 1,220), and 2017 (N = 1,046), respectively.
As a proxy measure of the respondents? life?cycle stage, the recoded age
variable (young/middle-aged/ elderly) was used. Based on the age period
during which a person spent their formative years (15-24 years of age), a
sixfold typology of political generation membership was constructed. The
year in which the survey was conduct?ed was used as a measure of period
effects. The results indicate that emancipative values were more likely to
be embraced by younger respondents (r = .22**) and in survey waves after
2000 (r = .17**), and less by the members of the socialist generation (p <
.01) than by those generations who spent their formative years after 2000,
omnibus F(5, 3440) = 58.19**. The results reveal a complex relation?ship
between lifecycle, generational, and period effects on emancipative values
and call into question the exclusive importance that is usually attributed
to generational differences in theory. The conclusion outlines possible
implications for the theory of human empowerment and practical implications
for the possibility of value change in Serbian society.
Anthropological research on coming of age and “extended youth”: Youth “well-spent” in Serbia
Authors: Mitrovic Katarina
Published: December 2022

While focusing on the phenomenon of ?extended youth?, this paper presents the results of anthropological research on coming of age: classical and contemporary. The paper questions the parameters of ?normality? when it comes to ?extending? phases, youth in particular. While examining what it means to be young, the paper emphasises anthro?pological contributions to life course research. First of all, the paper focuses on research that highlights concepts seen as universal and biological. Moreover, it approaches classical anthropological research that analyses lifecycle customs and rites of passage. By emphasising classic an?thropological works, such as the contributions of Margaret Mead, the paper shows how ethnographic examples have helped present the diversity of the perception of ?ade?quate?, ?normal?, and ?good? when it comes to life stages or transitions from one life stage to another. In addition to the work of Mead, special attention is paid to the work of Arnold van Gennep, whose research on rites of passage had a great influence on generations of Serbian ethnologists and anthropologists. Van Gennep?s scheme of successive stages made up of the pattern of rites of passage (separation, transition/liminality, and ag?gregation) has been particularly important in the context of the transition into adulthood. Finally, this paper analy?ses how young people in Serbia perceive their youth and life stages in the contemporary context. The presented results are part of a qualitative research study based on in-depth interviews conducted in 2019 and 2020. The re?sults highlight the cultural representations of the ?normal? life course and life stage transitions, then present how some young people manage their transition to adulthood in order to perceive their youth as ?well-spent?. The con?clusion examines how time, life phases, and expectations have been constructed in the local context. Moreover, the paper highlights the layers of the transition to adulthood and autonomy (residential, financial, emotional etc.) that, furthermore, show the complexity of the phenomenon of ?extended youth?. By questioning the mainstream explanations of extended youth as an exclusive consequence of structural factors and political crisis, the paper offers an alternative explanation of extended youth through the analysis of cultural logic.
Evaluation of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion success by comparing width of circummaxillary sutures before expansion in adult male patients
Authors: Lee Ji-Min , Choi Sung-Hwan , Choi Yoon Jeong , Lee Kee-Joon , Yu Hyung-Seog
Published: December 2022

Objectives

To investigate the relationship between circummaxillary sutures and miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) success in adult male patients and to evaluate the correlation between the width of the sutures and the maxilla expansion ratio.

Materials and Methods

This retrospective study comprised 40 adult male patients treated with MARPE divided into a separation group (N = 20, mean age, 21.9 years) consisting of subjects with midpalatal suture opening and a nonseparation group (N = 20, mean age, 21.7 years) consisting of subjects with no midpalatal suture opening. Cone-beam computed tomography images were obtained before MARPE expansion for both groups and after expansion for the separation group. Vertical and horizontal skeletal relationships, palate length, and widths of 10 circummaxillary sutures before expansion were compared. The correlation between maxilla expansion ratio (jackscrew expansion to maxillary expansion ratio) and circummaxillary suture widths was also analyzed in the separation group.

Results

There were no significant differences in age, vertical and horizontal skeletal relationships, and palate length between the two groups. Zygomaticomaxillary, pterygomaxillary, midpalatal, and transverse palatine sutures showed significantly greater width in the separation group (P < .05). The zygomaticomaxillary suture showed the greatest difference (Δ = 0.36 mm) between the groups. The zygomaticomaxillary and pterygomaxillary sutures showed significant positive correlation with the maxilla expansion ratio (P < .01).

Conclusions

In adult male patients, greater circummaxillary suture widths before MARPE expansion, especially zygomaticomaxillary and pterygomaxillary sutures, resulted in a better chance of successful suture separation and more maxillary expansion.

Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to describe cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and strategies to control type 2 diabetes with baseline levels and 8-year changes in a deficit accumulation frailty index (FI), a commonly used marker of biological aging.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted exploratory analyses from 4,169 participants, aged 45–76 years, who were followed in the Action for Health in Diabetes (Look AHEAD) randomized controlled clinical trial, pooling data across intervention groups. We related baseline and 8-year levels of HbA1c with FI scores using analyses of variance and covariance. Associations between 8-year changes in FI and the use of diabetes medication classes and weight changes were assessed with control for HbA1c levels. Inverse probability weighting was used to assess bias associated with differential follow-up.

RESULTS

Baseline and average HbA1c levels over time of <7%, as compared with ≥8%, were associated with less increase in FI scores over 8 years (both P ≤ 0.002). After adjustment for HbA1c, use of metformin and weight loss >5% were independently associated with slower increases in frailty.

CONCLUSIONS

Lower HbA1c levels among individuals with diabetes are associated with slower biological aging as captured by a deficit accumulation FI. Strategies to control diabetes through weight loss or metformin use may also slow aging.

The paper presents results of technological, typological, raw material and use-wear analyses of stone assemblage from the Kamenets-Podolskiy (Tatarysky) site, dated to 3950-3900 BC (the late Tripolye BII). The assemblage is presented against a broad comparative background of sites from Forest-Steppe Ukraine. Flint processing focused on blades production, intended subsequently for the making of tools, produced of good quality of raw material (mainly of Turonian Age). However, preferences in the use of raw material changed, depending on the region and the site.

Os basicamente idênticos trinta e sete painéis de azulejos no claustro de São Francisco em Olinda, Pernambuco, e no convento de São Francisco em Salvador, Bahia, compostos por inscriptiones e picturae de emblemas do livro Q. Horati Flacci Emblemata (1607), do artista flamengo Otto van Veen (1556–1629), articulam uma compreensão do tempo baseado no neoestoicismo do filósofo flamengo Justus Lipsius (1547-1606). Entretanto, o lema ou moto do painel Tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis (Os tempos mudam e nos mudamos com eles) cita uma visão temporal articulada pela primeira vez pelo pastor luterano Caspar Huberinus (1500-1553) e finalizado, trocando nosque por et nos, pelo latinista e médico protestante Matthias Borbonius (1566-1629). Dessa forma, os painéis documentam uma disputa sobre a temporalidade vigente, entre a temporalidade clássica (fatum stoicum) e medieval e a temporalidade moderna, lida por nós a partir do referencial teórico da aceleração do tempo de Hartmut Rosa. Concluímos que o tema da temporalidade, justamente pela sua alteração em processo, era nos séculos 16 (Lipsius), 17 (van Veen) e 18 (painéis) um assunto que dividiu as confissões pelas suas ênfases distintas na tradição (o passado orienta o presente) e na palavra que desafia o status quo (o presente se abre para um futuro distinto).

"Church music of Transylvanian tradition expresses itself through the two quintessential styles, one through the voice and one through the text. The musical variants are recorded for the first time in musical notation by Dimitrie Cunțanu, in the year 1890, they also have a singed recording, which is still the today standard. The Lord’s Birth Troparion represents a good example of the music style in Transylvania. Fixed in musical notation and singed in most churches around here, this one met the most fixes and “repairs” out of them all and because of this today we have numerous versions of it. On another note, the musical double use, liturgical and ceremonial, it made it that this song to become the musical model which the church singers use when they want to sing without a noted song or book from which they are regulated. The multiple musical variants that exist nowadays demonstrate the presence of common background music, from which the ones that wrote the songs a long time ago and the today singers inspired themselves and sing like that today. The songs analyzed show us the value of the song variants ensemble, which together mark a singing style in the local zone.

Published: December 2022

Word Order in the Chronicon Vulturnense. The aim of this paper is to present a linguistic analysis of the Chronicon Vulturnense, a “roborated chronicle” written in Latin in the first half of the 12th century by a monk of the monastery of San Vincenzo at Volturno. The work, which is characterised by the repeated interweaving of chronological and documentary parts, offers interesting insights for the study of the interaction and co-presence of different linguistic repertoires in the written forms of the centuries immediately following the first attestations of vernacular Italian. In particular, the study of word order shows a tendency towards constructions with the verb in a final position in narrative parts and in a central position in documentary parts, while throughout the chronicle proper there is a high frequency of constructions with postverbal subjects, as occurs in many texts of ancient Italian.

Published: December 2022

Sejak tahun 1992 sebelum terjadinya krisis Arab Spring, terlebih dahulu Yaman telah mengalami krisis ekonomi yang memicu terjadinya konflik diantara presiden Yaman utara dan Yaman selatan. Kemudian keadaan ini semakin diperparah dengan munculnya kelompok Al-Houthi yang mencoba untuk memisahkan diri dan menjadi negara merdeka. Pertentangan yang terjadi di Yaman mengakibatkan banyak sekali dampak buruk bagi semua masyrakat Yaman. Kondisi ini mengakibatkan Yaman mengalami krisis kemanusiaan karena kekurangan pangan, banyaknya kasus malnutrisi, dan lain sebagainya. Kondisi Yaman di perparah dengan adanya konflik Ukraina-Rusia, karena sebagian besar gandum di impor dari dua negara tersebut yang mengakibatkan Yaman kesulitan untuk memperoleh gandum sebagai bahan pokok. Adanya krisis kemanusiaan di Yaman sudah sewajarnya menjadi perhatian internasional. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah melalui pendekatan studi kepustakaan dengan teknik mengumpulkan data melalui buku, jurnal, internet, atau literatur tertulis lainnya sebagai landasan kepenulisan. Saat ini sudah banyak organisasi-organisasi internasional yang ikut andil dalam menangani krisis kemanusiaan di Yaman. FAO, WFP, dan UNICEF menjadi salah satu dari organisasi internasional yang ikut andil dalam membantu Yaman.

RUNASUR: estudio de caso de la propuesta de Evo Morales de regionalismo plurinacional
Authors: Granja Hernández Lorena , Lacerda Gonçalves Ana Lúcia , Cazalbón Astrid
Published: December 2022

En noviembre de 2020 Evo Morales propuso la RUNASUR como la “UNASUR de los pueblos indígenas”. En abril de 2021 se establecieron sus bases estructurales ideológicas y políticas en su primer encuentro en Cochabamba, Bolivia. La creación de RUNASUR se enmarca en un contexto de crisis del regionalismo sudamericano, con divergencias ideológico-políticas entre los gobiernos. El objetivo del artículo es analizar la propuesta de Morales, tanto descriptivamente como en sus significados político y conceptual. La pregunta que rige la investigación es cuál es el impacto de la propuesta de regionalismo plurinacional planteada por RUNASUR para el regionalismo sudamericano. Nuestra hipótesis es que tal propuesta resignifica la centralidad del papel del Estado en la construcción del regionalismo. La plurinacionalidad adopta nuevos mecanismos de organización institucional basados en concepciones diferentes de la tradicional idea de nación. El artículo propone hacer un análisis de contenido de los documentos oficiales de RUNASUR y noticias de prensa, con el objetivo puramente descriptivo de entender cuáles son las dimensiones del proyecto. En segundo lugar, se analizan conceptualmente sus implicaciones para el regionalismo sudamericano. Finalmente, se trazan algunas conclusiones primarias que, por la insipiencia del objeto de estudio, no pretenden más que fundamentar futuras investigaciones.
Who Am I?: Re-envisioning the question of Muslim identity in Tariq Ali’sThe Stone WomanandA Sultan in Palermo
Authors: Hussain Zakir , Mishra Binod
Published: December 2022

This article examines Tariq Ali’s novelsThe Stone Woman(2000) andA Sultan in Palermo(2005) to critique the question of identity discourse by drawing inspiration from various cultures rooted in a distinctively Islamic landscape and culture. Muslim identity, like any other, is separately constructed and determined by language, religion, sect, and various other roles. It examines the creation of Muslim identity and strives to comprehend the segregation they have demonstrated in the postcolonial context. This identity discourse emerged in colonial discursive practices that positioned Muslims as “Other” under colonial rule. This paper draws upon theoretical concepts of postcolonial theory to challenge the stereotypical representation of Islam often circulated in Eurocentric discourses. We do this by focusing on Tariq Ali’s ways of constructing Muslim identities through fictional representations. Through this discussion, we critique stereotypical tropes evident in Eurocentric discourses, which too often conflate professions of Muslim identity with religious fundamentalism.

Published: December 2022

The paper presents the contemporary phenomenon of synthetic textual media that write poetry. It describes the several stages of preparation, conceptualization and building of a neural network that generates poetry. The neural network introduced in this article, called Liza Gennart, is the author of the book Výsledky vzniku (‘Outcomes of Origin’, 2020) and of several other projects, among them an interactive multimedia installation. The author of this article uses a practice-led research method to write about her own collaborative project that was conducted in collaboration with the programmer Ľubomír Panák.
Application of Discriminative Training Algorithm Based on Intelligent Computing in English Translation Evaluation
Authors: Li Xue
Published: December 2022

Aiming at the higher correlation between the objective evaluation of computer English speech and the subjective evaluation of experts, an acoustic model based on discriminative training is proposed to improve the confidence score of objective evaluation. First, the process of obtaining the pronunciation quality evaluation score of the speech vector by the forced matching algorithm is introduced, and then the mathematical theory of hypothesis testing is used to prove that the acoustic model trained based on the discriminative algorithm ‘minimum phoneme error’ is more effective than the acoustic model based on the traditional maximum likelihood algorithm. Confidence scores close to subjective assessments are obtained. By calculating the correlation coefficient of the subjective and objective evaluation results, the experiment verifies that the speech evaluation system using the discriminative acoustic model can give a higher confidence score and proposes a data selection method based on dynamic weighting, which is applied to continuous speech recognition in the discriminative training of the acoustic model. This method combines the posterior probability and the phoneme accuracy rate to select the data. First, the Beam algorithm of the posterior probability is used to trim the word graph. On this basis, according to the error rate of the candidate path where the candidate word is located, the probability dynamically assigns different weights to the candidate words; second, by calculating the confusion degree between the phoneme pairs, different penalty weights is dynamically added to the easily confused phoneme pairs to calculate the phoneme accuracy; finally, the expected accuracy of the obtained arc is calculated on the basis of the probability distribution. The Gaussian function is used to softly weight the expected phoneme accuracy of all competing arcs. The experimental results show that compared with the minimum phoneme error criterion, the dynamic weighting method has higher recognition accuracy and can effectively reduce the training time.

This paper formalizes in Mizar [1], [2], that the isometric isomorphisms between spaces formed by an (n + 1)-dimensional multilinear map and an n-fold composition of linear maps on real normed spaces. This result is used to describe the space of nth-order derivatives of the Frechet derivative as a multilinear space. In Section 1, we discuss the spaces of 1-dimensional multilinear maps and 0-fold compositions as a preparation, and in Section 2, we extend the discussion to the spaces of (n + 1)-dimensional multilinear map and an n-fold compositions. We referred to [4], [11], [8], [9] in this formalization.
Transmasculinities in Nonbinary Autobiographical Writing
Authors: Zlámalová Karolína
Published: December 2022

This article discusses the representations and narratives of transmasculinities in selected works by contemporary Anglophone nonbinary writers assigned female at birth. After briefly introducing the primary sources, I explain how this selection of texts allows for an analysis that contributes to widening the conventional conceptualisation of masculinities as related only to biological men and trans men, and I specify the kinds of masculinities discussed in the article. I then concentrate on three prominently featured themes in the analysed narratives: rejection and erasure within the lesbian and feminist communities, confusion caused by the authors’ identities in their everyday lives, and nonbinary parenting-related issues. Exploring how the authors write about these themes illuminates not only how they textually construct their diverse masculinities but also some of the key challenges they navigate: identity unintelligibility, invisibility, and the threat of involuntary complicity in the patriarchal order.
Mahesh Dattani’s Do the Needful: A Tussle Between Innate Sexuality and Imposed Identity
Authors: Chhavi  , Bhushan Rajiv , Tripathi Priyanka
Published: December 2022

Although the issues related to sexuality are of prime importance in the contemporary world, in the Indian society they are closeted and ignored even today. Several social injunctions are conceptualized against men with alternative sexualities. To avoid social stigma, men refrain from coming out of the closet and accepting their natural sexual identity and orientation. However, there are certain playwrights who have addressed this otherwise taboo subject of sexuality on the Indian Stage. Mahesh Dattani is one amongst them. His plays firmly assert that gender and sexuality are concepts that are not confined to one’s biological orientation, but rather go beyond it. They are conditioned by socio-cultural norms and hegemonic practices. He elucidates how the socio-cultural determinants of gender and sexuality contradict one’s own individual instincts, sexual preferences and lived experiences. With reference to his famous play Do the Needful, this paper gives a brief account of the condition of Indian theatre pre- and post-colonization and projects the camouflaging techniques adopted by the discursive identities of gay people, for example, in order to conspicuously feature as straight and normal. It outlines the social constructions associated with gays in India and how these formations compel Indian men to internalize and succumb to the conventional norms of heterosexuality as the only acceptable norms.
Gertrude Stein’s Experience of Expatriation and Settlement in the Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas
Authors: Tucan Gabriela
Published: December 2022

The article examines The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, by Gertrude Stein. Filtered through the eyes of her lover, the text’s focus is on Stein’s artistic growth. Published in 1933 and written from “the happily distant perspective of the 1930s” (Benstock, 1986, p. 144), The Autobiography shows how Stein copes with the isolation and despair of her first years of expatriation in Paris. The paper argues that Stein was only able to perform in-depth acts of self-analysis once she had settled down in her troubled subjective geography.

Published: December 2022

This paper proposes a three degrees of freedom parallel anti-swing method by the main and auxiliary cables to address the problems related to underactuated double-pendulum anti-swing for a ship-mounted jib crane. By analysing the dynamic coupling relationship between the swing of the hook and the payload, it seeks to establish an accurate dynamic model of the anti-swing device under the ship’s rolling and pitching conditions, and discusses the influence of ship excitation, the crane state, load posture and anti-swing parameters on the in-plane and out-of-plane swing angles. The analysis shows that the primary pendulum reduces the in-plane angle by 90% and the out-of-plane angle by 80%, the in-plane angle of the secondary pendulum is reduced by 90%, and the out-of-plane angle is reduced by 80%. The reliability of the simulation data is verified through experiments.
Development and implementation of forensic anthropology in Swedish forensic practice

Published: December 2022

This paper presents the ongoing development of forensic anthropology in Sweden. We discuss the background of the discipline, its application, as well as its current and potential development in Swedish forensic practice. Collaboration with osteoarchaeologists in skeletal forensic cases has a long tradition in Sweden. Analyses of skeletal remains are performed ad-hoc, in contrast to analyses of fleshed human remains. While several law enforcement employees are educated in forensic anthropology and/or osteoarchaeology, they are not employed in these fields, and regional variations are evident. Internationally, forensic anthropology has become an autonomous forensic discipline over the past decades, requiring skills beyond mere skeletal analysis. To keep on a par with international standards, it may be time to revisit the concept of forensic anthropology in Sweden. Despite the limited presence of supporting organisational structures and systems, forensic anthropological and hard-tissue-reliant physico-chemical analyses have proven valuable in Swedish forensic practice, especially in cases of personal identification, trauma analysis and search efforts. We argue that Sweden could benefit from making qualified forensic anthropology expertise available in all law enforcement regions, starting to implement and promote forensic anthropology in routine forensic casework and formalising the role of forensic anthropology practitioners.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between human capital (HC), quality of the shariah supervisory board (SSB) and performance of maqasid shariah-based Islamic banks. This study uses secondary data from the Bankscope database of 2014 to 2018. The research samples comprised 75 banks from a total population of 96 banks. Using the dynamic panel regression two-step generalised method of moments (GMM), this study revealed that HC has a significant and positive influence on sharia maqasid-based performance. SSB quality has a significant and negative effect on Islamic banks' performance. These findings support the resources-based theory that assumes more efficient human capital can facilitate the achievement of better organisation performance. The results may serve as a guideline for Islamic bank managers to enhance their bank human capital as it has a positive relationship with maqasid sharia-based performance.
