Overcoming Cultural Trauma and The Ethics of Memory: With a Focus on Lee Hae Sung’s Play Red Poem
Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Choi Jung
Published: January 2024

This study attempted to examine the reproduction of the Japanese military 'Japanese Military Sexual Slavery' in “Red Poem” through Jeffrey Alexander's theory of cultural trauma, and to examine the meaning of the process of overcoming cultural trauma and the ethics of memory embodied in the work. “Red Poem” of understanding 'connects' the scars of the Japanese military 'Japanese Military Sexual Slavery' in the context of the present level, not the past. Through this process, it reveals that the scars of the history of the Japanese military 'Japanese Military Sexual Slavery' are a contemporary common trauma, that is, a 'cultural trauma' and awakens a shared sense. This play implicitly shows the historical process from the long-silence, concealment, and denial of the Japanese military 'Japanese Military Sexual Slavery' to breaking silence and being accepted and recognized as cultural trauma and social pain. “Red Poem”, which makes us reflect on the ethics and responsibilities of memory beyond the empathy of pain, does not remain as a connection between the past and the present traumatic events, but moves toward the politics of relationships and affections seeking overcoming and healing by actively connecting with the memory of suffering beings.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Wang Huan
Published: January 2024

This article takes the female characters with disabilities in Noh Hee-Kyeong’s TV series as the research object, and uses Lacan’s mirror theory and aggression theory to analyze the characteristics of female characters with disabilities, the metaphor of disability as a power discourse, and the self-identity challenges and aggressive nature of female characters with disabilities' narratives. The research results are as follows: First, the women with disabilities characters in Noh Hee-Kyeong’s TV series all grew up in incomplete native families. Their personality formation is deeply influenced by their father or mother, and they have some kind of paranoia or defect. Secondly, ｗith the exception of those with Down syndrome, female characters with disabilities all have beautiful looks. The screenwriter chose visual impairments, hearing impairments and mental impairments that do not affect femininity, so that female characters with disabilities still have sexual appeal. Disability metaphors contain deep gendered power discourses. Thirdly, the love narratives of women with disabilities are intrusive in nature. Whether it is a physical disability or a mental disability, women with disabilities are not treated equally by men without disabilities. They are still tools to satisfy men's desire for conquest.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of quality of nursing work life on the relationship between job embeddedness and turnover intention in hospital nurses. The subjects were 161 nurses who had one or more years of working experiences in hospitals in D city in Korea. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearsons'correlation coefficient, and a hierarchical multiple regression analysis as suggested by Baron and Kenny(1986). The significance of medication effect was verified by Sobel test. Turnover intention had a significant negative correlation with job embeddedness and quality of nursing work life. The results of this study indicate that quality of nursing work life has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between job embeddedness and turnover intention in hospital nurses. To reduce nurses’ turnover, nursing organizations should focus on enhancing quality of nursing work life as well as job embeddedness.

The article reconstructs the struggle of the inhabitants of two Ural cities - Sverdlovsk and Polevskoy - for the preservation of a unique monument of industrial heritage - the Severskaya blast furnace - in the 1960s-1980s. The sources for the study were unpublished archival materials, as well as information from the periodical press. The author analyzes the reasons that served as an impetus for this activity, which included a number of stages. The main actors of blast furnace museumification are considered. The author comes to the conclusion that the activities for the preservation of monuments of industrial heritage in the 1960s-1980s. was non-systematic, representing a network of inconsistent actions of different actors. Among the latter, the following should be singled out: representatives of the scientific community, educational institutions, members of the public organization «All-Russian Society for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments», local authorities, representatives of party cells, workers and veterans of the Seversky Pipe Plant. During the specified chronological period, the unique monument of the Sverdlovsk region was museumified twice, with a break for a fierce struggle for its preservation in the 1980s. By the beginning of the 1990s. it became only the second industrial site to undergo serious conservation work within the largest old industrial region of our country.

The article analyzes the dynamics of the gross production of the main livestock products in the Sverdlovsk region in one of the most interesting and problematic periods in the history of the Soviet state. The novelty of the study is ensured by the use of mostly unpublished materials from five state and departmental archives. The paper studies the dynamics of livestock production in monetary and natural (honey, milk, meat, wool, eggs) types in 1946-1950, a comparative analysis is carried out with the results of the development of the industry on the eve and at the end of the Great Patriotic War. It has been established that animal husbandry in the Sverdlovsk region emerged from the war in a better condition than in the whole country, and the most difficult years for it were 1946-1947. Starting from 1948, there was an increase in the production of meat, milk, wool and eggs in the region. As a result, in the five post-war years, the gross output of the industry in the Sverdlovsk region in value terms increased by more than a quarter. At the same time, during the years of the fourth five-year plan, the average annual production in the industry significantly exceeded the level of both 1945 and 1940. It was established that the main producer in animal husbandry were individual farms of the population, which accounted for almost 2/3 of the products received. The authors come to the conclusion that this happened, despite the various restrictions of the state on its development. A feature of the Sverdlovsk region in those years was the fact that among all categories of producers, the farms of workers and employees provided the most livestock products, which can be explained by the industrial specialization of the territory and the high proportion of the urban population in it.

Authors:   Institution of General Education «Secondary school with advanced study of English No. 4», Novy Urengoy, Russian Federation, ARAKELIAN A.V.
Published: January 2024

The article analyzes materials about Armenian immigrants to the Tyumen region in the XIX - early XXI centuries. The general population censuses are chosen as the source. The opinion is expressed about the reasons for the migration of Armenians to the Tyumen region. It is concluded that the methodology of population accounting in the pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet periods differed significantly. For the first time, data on Armenian immigrants to the Tyumen region were taken into account in the materials of the first General Population Census of 1897, during which the task of studying the national composition of the country was set for the first time. In addition to the number of Armenians, the scribes recorded their gender and religious composition. During the All - Union Population censuses 1926, 1937, 1939, 1959, 1970, 1979 In 1989, not only the dynamics of the number of Armenians in the Tyumen region were taken into account, but also their gender composition, as well as the division into urban and rural populations. In the post-Soviet population censuses of 2002, 2010 and 2020-2021, the number of measured indicators decreased. The specifics of taking into account the national composition during the census of 2020-2021 was that data were taken into account for those who named their nationality themselves. The literature indicates the relative comparability of data from individual censuses. It is concluded that an accurate comparison of information about Armenians according to censuses is not possible due to the serious changes that took place in the administrative-territorial division of the country at different times.

Published: January 2024

In the Russian archeology an opinion about the egalitarian appearance of the Neolithic settlements of the Halaf culture in Northern Mesopotamia was established. An assumption about the correspondence of its social structure to the level of chiefdom was made. However, no special studies in this direction have been carried out until now. This article contains the experience of identifying of social information from the archaeological sources of settlements in North-Eastern Syria. Developing the idea of the multicomponent specific of large settlements, the data that the link of social unification was a large family community are showed. Modern knowledge about the settlements allow to suggest that leaders of large-family communities exercised control over the development of specific sections of the settlement. Rare structural elements in housing construction (stone foundation, different qualities of wall plastering, floor covering, stone paving of the yard), which were not in the tradition of the Halaf cultural population, allow to consider them as signs of property and social gradation. In Russian and foreign science, a high level of pottery production in the Halaf culture has been noted. It is noted that the formation of independent production activity began with pottery, whereas in the relatively northern territories of Eurasia, many centuries later, this process began with metallurgy. This constitutes a feature of the ancient history of Mesopotamia.

Published: January 2024

In the modern period, the national states of the post-Soviet space are pursuing various policies regarding the support of large families. Having a common history of supporting large families in the Soviet period, countries implement various types of it, which largely depend on the current reproductive situation. One of the elements of the system of measures to support large families, along with payments and benefits, is the award policy, the purpose of which is to increase the status of large families in society. The award policy of states in support of large families does not often become the subject of scientific discourse, especially since there have been practically no works of a comparative nature in recent years. This article analyzes the features of the award policy of the national states of the post-Soviet space in relation to large families. As a result of the analysis, the main differences in the award policy of nation states were identified by types of awards, conditions for receiving awards, and social and legal benefits that these awards provide. The conditions for receiving awards for large families include requirements for the recipient of the award (mother, father, family), including citizenship; number, status and age of children; as well as the behavioral features of the subject of receiving the award and his children.

Machine-learning-based coordination of powered ankle–foot orthosis and functional electrical stimulation for gait control
Authors: Jung Suhun , Bong Jae Hwan , Kim Keri , Park Shinsuk
Published: January 2024

This study proposes a novel gait rehabilitation method that uses a hybrid system comprising a powered ankle–foot orthosis (PAFO) and FES, and presents its coordination control. The developed system provides assistance to the ankle joint in accordance with the degree of volitional participation of patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. The PAFO adopts the desired joint angle and impedance profile obtained from biomechanical simulation. The FES patterns of the tibialis anterior and soleus muscles are derived from predetermined electromyogram patterns of healthy individuals during gait and personalized stimulation parameters. The CNN-based estimation model predicts the volitional joint torque from the electromyogram of the patient, which is used to coordinate the contributions of the PAFO and FES. The effectiveness of the developed hybrid system was tested on healthy individuals during treadmill walking with and without considering the volitional muscle activity of the individual. The results showed that consideration of the volitional muscle activity significantly lowers the energy consumption by the PAFO and FES while providing adaptively assisted ankle motion depending on the volitional muscle activities of the individual. The proposed system has potential use as an assist-as-needed rehabilitation system, where it can improve the outcome of gait rehabilitation by inducing active patient participation depending on the stage of rehabilitation.
Impaired communication at the neuromotor axis during Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy

Published: January 2024

Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) is a progressive neurological condition characterized by structural alterations in the cervical spine, resulting in compression of the spinal cord. While clinical manifestations of DCM are well-documented, numerous unanswered questions persist at the molecular and cellular levels. In this study, we sought to investigate the neuromotor axis during DCM. We use a clinically relevant mouse model, where after 3 months of DCM induction, the sensorimotor tests revealed a significant reduction in both locomotor activity and muscle strength compared to the control group. Immunohistochemical analyses showed alterations in the gross anatomy of the cervical spinal cord segment after DCM. These changes were concomitant with the loss of motoneurons and a decrease in the number of excitatory synaptic inputs within the spinal cord. Additionally, the DCM group exhibited a reduction in the endplate surface, which correlated with diminished presynaptic axon endings in the supraspinous muscles. Furthermore, the biceps brachii (BB) muscle exhibited signs of atrophy and impaired regenerative capacity, which inversely correlated with the transversal area of remnants of muscle fibers. Additionally, metabolic assessments in BB muscle indicated an increased proportion of oxidative skeletal muscle fibers. In line with the link between neuromotor disorders and gut alterations, DCM mice displayed smaller mucin granules in the mucosa layer without damage to the epithelial barrier in the colon. Notably, a shift in the abundance of microbiota phylum profiles reveals an elevated Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratio—a consistent hallmark of dysbiosis that correlates with alterations in gut microbiota-derived metabolites. Additionally, treatment with short-chain fatty acids stimulated the differentiation of the motoneuron-like NSC34 cell line. These findings shed light on the multifaceted nature of DCM, resembling a synaptopathy that disrupts cellular communication within the neuromotor axis while concurrently exerting influence on other systems. Notably, the colon emerges as a focal point, experiencing substantial perturbations in both mucosal barrier integrity and the delicate balance of intestinal microbiota.

Published: January 2024

Introduction

Multimodal emotion recognition has become a hot topic in human-computer interaction and intelligent healthcare fields. However, combining information from different human different modalities for emotion computation is still challenging.

Methods

In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional convolutional recurrent neural network model (referred to as 3FACRNN network) based on multimodal fusion and attention mechanism. The 3FACRNN network model consists of a visual network and an EEG network. The visual network is composed of a cascaded convolutional neural network–time convolutional network (CNN-TCN). In the EEG network, the 3D feature building module was added to integrate band information, spatial information and temporal information of the EEG signal, and the band attention and self-attention modules were added to the convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN). The former explores the effect of different frequency bands on network recognition performance, while the latter is to obtain the intrinsic similarity of different EEG samples.

Results

To investigate the effect of different frequency bands on the experiment, we obtained the average attention mask for all subjects in different frequency bands. The distribution of the attention masks across the different frequency bands suggests that signals more relevant to human emotions may be active in the high frequency bands γ (31–50 Hz). Finally, we try to use the multi-task loss function Lc to force the approximation of the intermediate feature vectors of the visual and EEG modalities, with the aim of using the knowledge of the visual modalities to improve the performance of the EEG network model. The mean recognition accuracy and standard deviation of the proposed method on the two multimodal sentiment datasets DEAP and MAHNOB-HCI (arousal, valence) were 96.75 ± 1.75, 96.86 ± 1.33; 97.55 ± 1.51, 98.37 ± 1.07, better than those of the state-of-the-art multimodal recognition approaches.

Discussion

The experimental results show that starting from the multimodal information, the facial video frames and electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of the subjects are used as inputs to the emotion recognition network, which can enhance the stability of the emotion network and improve the recognition accuracy of the emotion network. In addition, in future work, we will try to utilize sparse matrix methods and deep convolutional networks to improve the performance of multimodal emotion networks.

Introduction

As one of the traditional Chinese medicinal herbs that were most generally used, licorice attracts lots of interest due to its therapeutic potential. Authentic response regulators (ARRs) are key factors in cytokinin signal transduction and crucial for plant growth and stress response processes. Nevertheless, the characteristics and functions of the licorice ARR genes are still unknown.

Results

In present study, a systematic genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the licorice ARR gene family were conducted and 51 ARR members were identified. Collinearity analysis revealed the significant roles of segmental duplications in the expansion of licorice ARR genes. The cis-acting elements associated with development, stress and phytohormone responses were identified, implying their pivotal roles in diverse regulatory processes. RNA-seq and qRT-PCR results suggested that A-type, but not B-type ARRs were induced by zeatin. Additionally, ARRs participated in diverse abiotic stresses and phytohormones responses. Yeast one-hybrid assay demonstrated that GuARR1, GuARR2, GuARR11, GuARR12, GuARR10-1, GuARR10-2 and GuARR14 were able to bind to the promoter of GuARR8-3, and GuARR1, GuARR12 bound to the GuARR8-1 promoter. GuARR1, GuARR2, GuARR11 and GuARR10-2 bound to the GuARR6-2 promoter as well as GuARR12 and GuARR10-2 bound to the GuARR6-1 promoter.

Discussion

Collectively, these findings provide a basis for future ARR genes function investigations, shedding light on the potential medicinal properties and agricultural applications of licorice.
Navigating the Maps: Euclidean vs. Road Network Distances in Spatial Queries

Using spatial data in mobile applications has grown significantly, thereby empowering users to explore locations, navigate unfamiliar areas, find transportation routes, employ geomarketing strategies, and model environmental factors. Spatial databases are pivotal in efficiently storing, retrieving, and manipulating spatial data to fulfill users’ needs. Two fundamental spatial query types, k-nearest neighbors (kNN) and range search, enable users to access specific points of interest (POIs) based on their location, which are measured by actual road distance. However, retrieving the nearest POIs using actual road distance can be computationally intensive due to the need to find the shortest distance. Using straight-line measurements could expedite the process but might compromise accuracy. Consequently, this study aims to evaluate the accuracy of the Euclidean distance method in POIs retrieval by comparing it with the road network distance method. The primary focus is determining whether the trade-off between computational time and accuracy is justified, thus employing the Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) for distance extraction. The assessment encompasses diverse scenarios and analyses factors influencing the accuracy of the Euclidean distance method. The methodology employs a quantitative approach, thereby categorizing query points based on density and analyzing them using kNN and range query methods. Accuracy in the Euclidean distance method is evaluated against the road network distance method. The results demonstrate peak accuracy for kNN queries at k=1, thus exceeding 85% across classes but declining as k increases. Range queries show varied accuracy based on POI density, with higher-density classes exhibiting earlier accuracy increases. Notably, datasets with fewer POIs exhibit unexpectedly higher accuracy, thereby providing valuable insights into spatial query processing.

Published: January 2024

With the development of UAV automatic cruising along power transmission lines, intelligent defect detection in aerial images has become increasingly important. In the process of target detection for aerial photography of transmission lines, insulator defects often pose challenges due to complex backgrounds, resulting in noisy images and issues such as slow detection speed, leakage, and the misidentification of small-sized targets. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an insulator defect detection algorithm called DFCG_YOLOv5, which focuses on improving both the accuracy and speed by enhancing the network structure and optimizing the loss function. Firstly, the input part is optimized, and a High-Speed Adaptive Median Filtering (HSMF) algorithm is introduced to preprocess the images captured by the UAV system, effectively reducing the noise interference in target detection. Secondly, the original Ghost backbone structure is further optimized, and the DFC attention mechanism is incorporated to strike a balance between the target detection accuracy and speed. Additionally, the original CIOU loss function is replaced with the Poly Loss, which addresses the issue of imbalanced positive and negative samples for small targets. By adjusting the parameters for different datasets, this modification effectively suppresses background positive samples and enhances the detection accuracy. To align with real-world engineering applications, the dataset utilized in this study consists of unmanned aircraft system machine patrol images from the Yunnan Power Supply Bureau Company. The experimental results demonstrate a 9.2% improvement in the algorithm accuracy and a 26.2% increase in the inference speed compared to YOLOv5s. These findings hold significant implications for the practical implementation of target detection in engineering scenarios.
