ADVANTAGES OF USING TRANSLATION, PARAPHRASING, AND PODCASTS TO IMPROVE NATURAL WRITING SKILLS
Authors: Suseno Edy
Published: July 2024

Most EFL students find it difficult to articulate themselves clearly in written assignments. To overcome those flaws, twenty-five college students enrolled in the program. The WhatsApp program was employed as a classroom tool because of online learning. The teacher modified the audio materials in an attempt to strengthen the pupils' inadequate writing abilities. The students observed the native speakers' use of grammar in their transcribing and used that to understand grammar usage. To help with vocabulary development, the students also translate it into their native tongue. The students recount the podcasts' material to improve their speaking flow. The information the students learned from the podcast materials was applied to the description of images. Students utilized paraphrasing applications to complete the proofreading assignments. It is a procedure to hone their writing abilities. It is discovered by qualitative data analysis that students can successfully produce natural writing by using paraphrasing tools, translation services, and podcasts. Instructors can teach pertinent subjects with the use of this kind of material. It is also causing other researchers to become aware of more pertinent discoveries.

Effects of Crosswinds on the Aerothermal Behaviour of A Double-Skin Façade
Authors: Ziari Saber , Belakroum Rassim , Khelifa Saif Elislam , Mansouri Hocine
Published: July 2024

In double-skin facades, airflow is mainly induced by buoyancy forces due to temperature gradients and air compressibility. In practice, this passive system is also affected by ambient crosswind. The present work is focused on the analysis of the aerothermal behavior of an asymmetrically heated channel interacting with a transverse airflow. To achieve this, we utilized the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique based on the finite volume method to predict the system's performance. After validating the adopted numerical model, we examined the flow structure for different channel widths, and we determined the corresponding ventilation flow rates. We integrated the effect of wind with the thermosiphon effect. The thermo-aerodynamic performance of the facade was presented as a function of wind velocities, which significantly influence the airflow through the cavity and its openings.
Detecting LLM-assisted writing in scientific communication: Are we there yet?
Authors: Lazebnik Teddy , Rosenfeld Ariel
Published: July 2024

Large Language Models (LLMs), exemplified by ChatGPT, have significantly reshaped text generation, particularly in the realm of writing assistance. While ethical considerations underscore the importance of transparently acknowledging LLM use, especially in scientific communication, genuine acknowledgment remains infrequent. A potential avenue to encourage accurate acknowledging of LLM-assisted writing involves employing automated detectors. Our evaluation of four cutting-edge LLM-generated text detectors reveals their suboptimal performance compared to a simple ad-hoc detector designed to identify abrupt writing style changes around the time of LLM proliferation. We contend that the development of specialized detectors exclusively dedicated to LLM-assisted writing detection is necessary. Such detectors could play a crucial role in fostering more authentic recognition of LLM involvement in scientific communication, addressing the current challenges in acknowledgment practices.
Stamps Don’t Lie: Sports, Military, and National Identity Postage Stamps As a Mirror of Aggressive Soviet and Russian Propaganda
Authors: Lebed Felix , Morgulev Elia
Published: July 2024

During the 20th century, authoritarian regimes willingly embraced sport as a vivid arena for demonstrating their superiority. Prior research on postage stamps issued by such regimes revealed certain patterns associated with periods of aggressive internal and external rhetoric, whereby postage stamps served as a channel for government propaganda. In the current study, we looked at sports, military, and national identity stamps. Applying the social-semiotic method, we first examined the messages sports stamps have conveyed in Soviet Union and Russia. Then, the quantitative paradigm was employed to evaluate the trends in the issuance of propagandistic stamps by post-WW2 USSR and Russia. Finally, we expanded the scope by looking at stamp issuance in Germany, Italy, and USSR in pre-WW2 and WW2 years. This heavily militaristic “landscape” was used mainly as a basis for comparison with the issuance policy of Putin’s Russia. The results shed light on some striking similarities across the different countries and periods. These findings are discussed in the context of the recent geopolitical situation.
The relationship of visceral adiposity with endothelial functions and subclinical atherosclerosis in obese individuals
Authors: Kose Merve Polat , Piskinpasa Mehmet Emin , Hacioglu Yalcin , Karabag Turgut
Published: July 2024

Introduction

On the cardiovascular system, obesity accelerates atherosclerosis progression, inducing pathophysiological changes that are detectable already from young adults. Endothelial dysfunction is one of the earliest vascular alterations observed in obesity. In this study, we aimed to determine endothelial functions and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with obesity without overt cardiovascular disease.

Methods

The study was conducted with 112 individuals with obesity without overt cardiovascular disease and any chronical diseases (BMI>30 kg/m2) (84 female, 28 male, mean age: 46.3±11.2 years) and 49 healthy individuals with no diseases (33 female, 16 male, mean age: 44.6±10.2 years). All patients were examined for endothelial functions by the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) method and carotid intima-media thicknesses (CIMT). All measurements were performed by the same imaging specialist, averaging 3 different measurements. In addition to the body mass index and waist circumference visceral adiposity index (VAI) and triponderal mass index (TPI) also calculated.

Results

The percentage of FMD obtained by brachial artery ultrasound was significantly lower, visceral adipose tissue, perirenal adipose tissue thicknesses measured by abdominal ultrasound and CIMT were significantly thicker in Group 1 compared to Group 2. FMD had a negative significant correlation with body mass index, visceral adipose tissue thickness, perirenal adipose tissue thickness, and waist and hip circumferences, and carotid intima-media thickness and CIMT had a significant correlation with visceral adipose tissue thickness, perirenal adipose tissue thickness, VAI, TPI and waist, hip circumferences.

Conclusion

Individuals with obesity have impaired endothelial functions and greater carotid intima-media thicknesses compared to healthy individuals. This impairment in endothelial functions is proportional to the amount of visceral and perirenal fat accumulation. Parameterss reflecting visceral fat distribution such as VAI and TPI are also related with these impairment.

Authors: AKJOU Ahmed , Idrissi Fakhreddine Moulay Othman
Published: July 2024

Existing literature provides limited insights into the role of individual actors and the human side of Open Innovation (OI) adoption in SMEs. Additionally, there is a lack of studies that systematically consolidate and analyze the publications addressing this specific topic. This research aims to fill this gap by pursuing three main objectives: firstly, to review the influence of SME leaders and manager's characteristics on the adoption of OI; secondly, to identify the characteristics of leaders and managers of SMEs and their leadership styles when adopting OI; and lastly, to explain their role in promoting OI. A total of 43 peer-reviewed articles published in reputable scientific journals from 2003 to 2022 were examined. This study classifies manager's characteristics that contribute to the effective implementation of OI within SMEs into three categories: demographic characteristics, personal characteristics, and managerial characteristics. This review contributes to prior research by outlining a leader and manager profile that leads to the successful implementation of OI in SMEs. The article concludes with theoretical and practical contributions and suggestions for potential directions for future research.
The Diagnostics of the Design Thinker Personality Profile with the Big Five Assessment for Educational Work
Authors: Krüger Marc , Annika Hoff , Schrader Len
Published: July 2024

Design Thinking as an innovation approach has gained relevance in the professional context and is increasingly used to solve interdisciplinary problems. In the current research literature, there are some heuristic approaches of Design Thinking that experts have described as the personal abilities of a Design Thinker, which have proven to be beneficial in practice. However, there has been no measurement of the necessary personal skills for Design Thinking. The early diagnosis of process-inhibiting personalities would be profitable for a Design Thinking coach in that certain didactic interventions could be implemented proactively, so that foreseeable disturbances within the Design Thinking process can be counteracted. For this reason, a corresponding procedure for diagnosing the expected Design Thinker skills of the students at the Münster School of Vocational Education was developed. Using the Design-based Research approach, a Design Thinker Personality Profile was designed regarding the Big Five personality traits. The developed Design Thinker Personality Profile could be reviewed by the individual personality profiles of the students and the impressions of the lecturers regarding the personality attitudes of the students.

Published: July 2024

Over the last four decades, innovation capability has been studied to examine the innovation phenomenon based on the specific characteristics of organizations and systems under the theory of resources and capabilities. However, "capability" has diverse applications, and its correlation with innovation remains unclear. This study aims to clarify the definition of "innovation capability" in the context of the manufacturing industry and to comprehend how researchers presently investigate this concept. In order to meet this, an exhaustive search was conducted in the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases, covering the period from 2018 to 2023. The selection of documents for analysis was determined by applying the scientometric method. The authors of this research identified 462 documents, and the bibliometric analysis, conducted using VOS viewer and Bibliometrix tools, revealed four main thematic areas within the research domain: sustainability, business performance, technology transfer, and knowledge management. As a result, this study identified the seminal authors of the concept. It provided a precise definition of "innovation capability", highlighting the significant interest that this research topic arouses in current academic literature.
The Role of Innovation Management Tools in Generating Innovation Market Success
Authors: Hafkesbrink Joachim , Schaff Arnd
Published: July 2024

The extensive literature on innovation management lacks a holistic theory, yet offers valuable frameworks, concepts, and tools for analyzing and managing the innovation process. Research gaps are evident in understanding the impact of specific innovation management techniques or tools (IMT) on innovation performance. Notably, limited studies demonstrate the influence of IMT on performance, primarily through qualitative case studies, and there is a notable shortage of diverse methodologies examining the interaction and collective impact of these tools alongside other innovation drivers. This paper investigates the significance of IMT in relation to other factors contributing to Innovation Market Success (IMS). Using Bootstrapped Structural Equation Modelling and Necessary Conditions Analysis on a dataset of 354 medium-sized enterprises in Germany and Austria, the study examines the interconnectedness and significance of IMT with other innovation performance determinants. Findings suggest a need to reassess the perceived importance of innovation management tools, highlighting an overemphasis in current research, while overlooking other crucial success factors. This study enhances understanding of IMT's role and impact, advocating for their strategic use in harnessing a firm's resources and capabilities to generate new competitive advantages, aligning with the Resource-based View of the Firm.
Open Innovation as Fuel for the Circular Economy: an Analysis of the Italian Context
Authors: Sergianni Luigi , De Chiara Alessandra , Mauro Sofia
Published: July 2024

In recent years the circular economy (CE) has gained considerable interest in the academic debate as a tool for achieving sustainable development. The implementation of the circular economy model requires innovation to overcome technological, economic, environmental, social, and regulatory barriers. However, companies do not always have the means to innovate due to lack of information, limited technical skills and financial constraints; as a result, innovation remains a fragmented phenomenon. Open Innovation (OI) is a tool identified in the literature as useful for overcoming this problem and thus for the development of the CE, as it accelerates the exchange of knowledge and the realisation of the necessary innovations. Despite this, the relationship between CE and OI, and particularly the influence of OI on CE, has been little investigated. In line with this, the paper aims to explore this relationship by analysing the process through which OI supports the development of the CE, focusing on the knowledge exchange aimed at circular innovation, and categorising the actors contributing to this process and their roles. The study adopts a qualitative approach and uses methods of descriptive analysis and case studies. The sample consists of 240 Italian circular organisations that support circularity in different ways. The results made it possible to classify the main actors involved and their contributions to the CE through OI practices, revealing unseen circular activities that support classical circular activities (slowing, closing, and narrowing of material and energy circuits) and are identified in services, technology or research. As a theoretical contribution, the research provides a framework describing the actions and relationships among the actors involved in the CE initiatives, with a focus on the Living Lab practices.

Published: July 2024

Amid the highly volatile fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market, the ability to accurately predict Bitcoin prices becomes crucial for investors and financial analysts. This study aims to develop a predictive model using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Networks, a specific form of recurrent neural network, to predict Bitcoin prices. Historical data on daily closing prices of Bitcoin from 2015 to 2023 was used to train and test the model. Following data preprocessing, which included normalization and the creation of a time series dataset, the LSTM model was constructed with two LSTM layers and two dense layers to enhance the predictive analysis. The model was trained with the data split into 80% for training and 20% for testing. Results show that the LSTM model was able to produce fairly accurate predictions with a low loss value on the test data. Further evaluation through comparison with baseline models showed significant improvements in predictive accuracy. This research demonstrates the potential application of advanced machine learning techniques in financial analysis, particularly in predicting the prices of highly volatile assets like Bitcoin. With continuous improvements to the model architecture and parameter optimization, Bitcoin price predictions could become more reliable, helping stakeholders make more informed investment decisions.

Published: July 2024

The integration of manned and unmanned aircraft can help improve wildfire response. Wildfire containment failures occur when the resources available to first responders, who execute the initial stages of wildfire management referred to as the initial attack, are ineffective or insufficient. Initial attack surveillance and suppression models have linked action spaces and objectives, making their optimization computationally challenging. The initial attack may be formulated as a multi-agent partially observable Markov decision process (MPOMDP). We divide the initial attack MPOMDP into surveillance and suppression processes with their respective planners operating on different, but constant, time scales. A hierarchical framework iterates between surveillance and suppression planners while also providing collision avoidance. This framework is exemplified by a set of multirotor unmanned aircraft surveying an initial attack fire while a manned helicopter suppresses the fire with a water bucket. Wildfire-specific solver extensions are formulated to reduce the otherwise vast action spaces. The hierarchical framework outperforms firefighting techniques and a myopic baseline by up to 242% for moderate wildfires and 60% for rapid wildfires when simulated in abstracted and actual case studies. We also validate the early dispatching of additional suppression assets using regression models to ensure wildfire containment within thresholds established by wildfire agencies.

This paper presents a two-part study focusing on the optimization of pin-fin arrays for gas turbine blade cooling. The first part of the study examines the thermal performance of various pin-fin shapes and sizes using computational fluid dynamics. The study investigates circular, elliptical, hexagonal, and rectangular cross sections, with emphasis on the hydraulic diameter and Reynolds number. Two-dimensional simulations mimicked a confined, staggered array of uniform-sized pins under different inlet conditions. For a hydraulic diameter of [Formula: see text] and a Reynolds number of 5500, the rectangular pins showed the highest Nusselt number [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] larger than circular, elliptical, and hexagonal pins, respectively, but also a pressure increase [Formula: see text] higher on average. For a hydraulic diameter of [Formula: see text] and a Reynolds number of 1000–15,000, it was shown that all shapes have an exponential increase in pressure and a logarithmic decay in the Nusselt number. Standing out was the rectangular shape, which, at a maximum Reynolds number of 15,000, had a pressure increase of [Formula: see text] larger than the next in line, the hexagonal pin. In the same range of inlet conditions, the Gee–Webb coefficient was the highest for the circular pin, which was selected as the main shape for the following segment. In the second part of the study, a machine learning framework based on a neural network architecture is presented. The neural network predicts the thermal performance of different pin-fin array configurations. At the end, this framework is used in an optimization process that explores the advantages of nonuniform arrays consisting of differently sized circular pins as opposed to the standard uniform structures of the first part. The model proves to be capable of accurately predicting the characteristic thermal performance coefficients across a wide range of input parameters. The nonuniform array managed a [Formula: see text] reduction in pressure rise at a [Formula: see text] exit temperature increase compared to a reference standard array of the same hydraulic diameter.

Authors: Akunne Olisaemeka Zikora , Anulugwo Ogochukwu Emilia
Published: July 2024

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) poses a significant global health concern, contributing to nearly 30% of global deaths. Its prevalence is on the rise, necessitating a deeper understanding of associated risk factors including hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, and diabetes. Addressing these risk factors is crucial in preventing or slowing the onset of heart failure (HF), a complex chronic condition with high morbidity and mortality rates. This review aims to explore innovative strategies for preventing or delaying HF, focusing on cardiovascular risk (CV) factors. Specifically, it delves into the link between hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, diabetes, and HF emphasizing the importance of identifying new therapeutic approaches. A comprehensive examination of existing literature, clinical trials, and experimental models forms the basis of this review providing insights into the interconnected nature of cardiovascular risk factors and the efficacy of combination therapies. Evidence from diverse sources supports the adoption of a multifaceted approach to HF prevention. The review underscores the complex associations between hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, diabetes, and HF highlighting the need for innovative therapeutic interventions. Clinical trials demonstrate promising outcomes with synergistic therapies such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors showcasing improved efficacy over single-agent interventions. In conclusion, adopting a multifaceted approach to HF prevention considering the interplay of various risk factors. Such an approach holds the potential for substantial benefits including simultaneous targeting of multiple pathways, individualized care, enhanced patient motivation, and reduced healthcare costs. Further research should focus on optimizing combination therapies and identifying patient population that stands to gain the most from these interventions providing a pathway towards improved cardiovascular health globally.

В данной работе предложен вариант концептуального моделирования одиночного сокращения скелетной мышцы ОДА. Моделирование основано на системном анализе и теории управления техническими системами. Схематически модель представлена тремя структурными: обобщенной, функциональной и алгоритмической. Взаимосвязь между системами и органами показана сигналами (электрическими, химическими и вещественными). В зависимости от эффекта сигналы на основании анализа модели рекомендуется разделить на три категории: первая – полное отсутствие сокращения, вторая и третья – развитие силы 50% и 20% от максимальной, определяемой формулой. Это характеризует степень заболевания.
