Building Integrated Agriculture Simulation (BIA-SIM)
Authors:   Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Tsamis Alexandros , Draper Josh ,   Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Nath Manabendra ,   Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Published: May 2024

Agriculture consumes 30% of the world’s fossil fuels and 70% of freshwater. About one third of all greenhouse gas emissions come from the Built Environment, and uses about 20% of total energy. Urban Agriculture promises to minimize food and water waste utilizing Building Performance Simulation (BPS) tools that assess crop yields, water usage and energy needs for Building Integrated Agriculture (BIA). However, BIA may attain better efficiencies if agriculture and buildings share their waste products. Here, we introduce Building Integrated Agriculture Simulation (BIA-SIM), a framework for software that visualizes and quantifies early-stage design outcomes of BIA that combines circular waste flows of building and farms. Users can determine which resources – food, water, air, and energy – are most important to co-optimize based on their ecological and economic concerns. BIA-SIM user input includes location, 3D site model, site and building details, number of occupants, farm type and crops. Greywater, CO2 from occupants and building energy usage are calculated. Outputs demonstrate how a software framework informed by an extensive database of plants, their properties and theirfarming requirements can be utilized to identify, design and exploit feedback loops between building and urban agriculturewaste products. To demonstrate several use scenarios, a site in New Delhi, India was chosen for an urban agriculture-integrated residential building. In one example, using 60% of building grey water for irrigation of tomato, we found 47%of the maximum buildable surface area would be needed for tomato production. More than 100% of the CO2 emitted by building occupants could be absorbed, and the plants’ thermal mass could save 50% of cooling energy using farm layouts that, in turn, enhanced food output based on solar exposure. Several other scenarios will be shown that demonstrate the broader benefits urban agriculture can have for the built environment beyond food production.

Kuantitas lembaga pendidikan anak usia dini di Indonesia semakin berkembang pesat. Peningkatan tersebut terjadi seiring dengan banyaknya jumlah anak usia dini (AUD) yang harus dilayani. Kuantitas itu berbanding lurus dengan kebutuhan guru yang berkualitas. Tuntutan mutu pendidik semakin jelas dengan mengembalikan perkembangan usia dini merupakan masa emas sehingga landasan yang baik dari guru yang berkualitas berdampak kepada keunggulan generasi bangsa Indonesia. Untuk itu, perlu pendidik PAUD yang memahami peluang pemaksimalan tersebut sejak usia dini. Perlu ada upaya untuk meningkatkan kualitas layanan pendidikan untuk anak usia dini dengan cara meningkatkan kualitas para pendidik anak usia dini.
Profesionalisme sendiri ternyata belum dipahami oleh para PAUD karena bukanlah sebatas niat maupun keinginan. Kesungguhannya harus tercermin dalam tindakan. Sertifikasi guru PAUD memberikan makna positif agar guru PAUD tetap konsisten meningkatkan profesionalisme dirinya sendiri. PGPAUD perlu intropeksi untuk mengupayakan segala cara guna meningkatkan daya saing lulusan serta produk-

Authors: Kiss Álmos Péter
Published: May 2024

Oroszország az ukrajnai háború során folyamatosan alkalmazza széles körű stratégiai kommunikációs tapasztalatait, és elárasztja az információs teret az orosz narratívával. A stratégiai kommunikációs műveletekben több célközönség is megkülönböztethető: az orosz társadalom, az ukrán társadalom, a „Nyugat” (NATO/EU) és a Globális Dél (Afrika, Ázsia, Latin-Amerika). A narratívák és a kommunikációs csatornák a célközönségre vannak szabva. Az üzenetek ritkán kifinomultak vagy árnyaltak, és gyakoriak a valótlan állítások. A tanulmány nyílt források alapján megvizsgálja az orosz stratégiai kommunikációs struktúrát, a műveletek lebonyolítását, felméri azok sikereit és kudarcait, és azonosítja a különböző kimenetelek okát. Vizsgálja az orosz információs teret monopolizáló képesség, a cenzúra, az alternatív információforrások és a sikeres ellenpropaganda hatását.

Authors: Kakani Prudhvi Kumar , Djuitcheu Hubert , Schotten Hans Dieter
Published: May 2024

Within the context of the next-generation open radio access network
(O-RAN), this paper provides a thorough analysis of xApps and their
security. This research is anticipated to have a major impact on
improving the security requirements and operational effectiveness of
xApps. A wide range of subjects are covered in this paper, such as how
xApps are built inside the O-RAN architecture, what security risks and
vulnerabilities they provide, and how to reduce them. Through an
examination of their architecture, vulnerabilities, and major security
issues, it seeks to increase our understanding of xApps and make them
more resilient. It addresses specific security issues including
protecting the E2 interface and protecting against adversarial attacks
and unwanted access to machine learning-based xApps. Additionally, the
study explores the origins of vulnerabilities in xApps, such as
compromised xApps, malicious xApps, and external agents. The mitigation
strategies for xApps involve leveraging xApps to enhance O-RAN interface
security, implementing centralized and distributed security measures,
and adopting the xApp Repository Function (XRF) framework for
authentication.
Autonomous clustering by fast find of mass and distance peaks
Authors: Yang Jie , Lin Chin-Teng
Published: May 2024

Clustering is a fundamental tool of scientific analysis, ubiquitous in
disciplines from biology and chemistry to astronomy and pattern
recognition. We propose a novel clustering algorithm based on the
natural idea that a cluster and its nearest neighbor with higher mass
should be merged into one cluster, unless they both have relatively
large masses and the distance between them is also relatively large. The
find of mass and distance peaks reveals the mergers that don’t conform
to the rule and should be removed. The algorithm is parameter-free and
harnesses this idea to recognize any cluster and find the proper number
of clusters and noise autonomously. Experiments on numerous synthetic
and real-world data sets show the enormous versatility of the proposed
algorithm that remarkably outperforms the best compared algorithm.
Additionally, we also compare it with latest state-of-the-art deep
clustering algorithms on several challenging image data sets. The
proposed algorithm without any deep representation achieves better or
close performance than deep clustering algorithms on image clustering.

Comparative Analysis of Data Acquisition Setups for Fast-Timing in ToF-PET Applications
Authors: Latella Riccardo , Gonzalez Antonio , Benlloch Jose Maria , Lecoq Paul , Konstantinou Georgios
Published: May 2024

The signal-to-noise ratio in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) improves
with precise timing resolution. PET systems enabling the capability of
Time-of-Flight (ToF) are nowadays available. This study assesses various
data configurations, comparing the obtained timing performances
applicable to ToF-PET systems. Different readout configurations were
evaluated together with Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) photosensors
from the Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), with and without the so-called
metal trench (MT) technology. The tests were carried out with
scintillation crystals of 3×3×5 mm3 (LYSO:Ce,Ca) from SIPAT. Two onboard
FPGA-based systems, namely the Felix Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC)
from Tediel S.r.l. and the ASIC-based FastIC from the University of
Barcelona, along with custom-made high-frequency electronics (CM-HF),
were compared. Considering only photopeak events, the best coincidence
timing resolution (CTR) results obtained were 71 ps with the MT SiPMs.
This result worsened to 88 ps with the old version of the same device
that does not include the MT technology (called HD). The results
demonstrate substantial CTR improvements when MT SiPMs were used across
the different scenarios, resulting in a timing improvement in the 10 to
45 ps range compared to HD SiPMs. Notably, the Felix TDC achieved
sub-100 ps timing results, emphasizing the potential of FPGA technology
in ToFPET applications. Moreover, the fully passive version of the CMHF
connected to the MT SiPMs shows only a degradation of 8 ps difference
compared to the version using amplifiers. The novel MT-type SiPMs
promise superior timing performance, enhancing accuracy and efficiency
in PET imaging systems.

Published: May 2024

The root rot complex of geranium plants caused by Rhizoctonia solani and Macrophomina phaseolina is a major threat, and control of these pathogens predominantly relies on chemicals. This study explored multifaceted applications of Bacillus velezensis (strain B63) and chitosan, assessing their biocontrol efficacy against root rot, and their subsequent effects on rhizosphere communities. Strain B63 was antagonistic to R. solani and M. phaseolina. Under field conditions, greatest efficacy was obtained with strain B63 (36% and 33% disease reductions in, respectively, two growing seasons), chitosan soaking + foliar spray 0.2% (CSF 0.2%) (33 and 27% reductions), and 0.1% chitosan soaking + foliar spray (CSF 0.1%) (33 and 26% reductions). These treatments also changed rhizosphere microbiota, as shown by numbers of colony-forming units (CFU) and 16S rRNA gene microbiome analyses. Concomitant with rhizosphere shifts, essential oil yields and composition were positively affected, as shown by gas chromatography analyses. Chitosan soaking + foliar spray 0.2% increased concentrations of citronellol (1.36-fold), geraniol (1.37-fold), citronellyl formate (1.54-fold), and geranyl formate (1.94-fold) in geranium essential oil, compared with the experimental controls. Strain B63 also increased these essential oils by 1.04- to 1.27-fold. B63 also enhanced eugenol levels by 1.35-fold. Treatments with B63 were more effective than chitosan in improving the geranium plant morphological parameters (plant height, numbers of branches, biomass). These results show that B. velezensis strain B63 treatments have potential for enhancing yields and product quality from geranium plant under root rot infection.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: Burn injuries remain a significant public health issue, especially in low- and middle-income countries where comprehensive data is scarce. This study provides a detailed analysis of burn injuries in Northern Bangladesh, focusing on epidemiological characteristics and factors influencing burn severity and incidents. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 477 cases of acute, unintentional burns recorded between January 2022 and December 2022 at the Rangpur Medical College Hospital's Burn and Plastic Surgery unit. Data on demographics, burn types, etiology, and severity were collected from hospital registers. Statistical analysis, including chi-square tests and logistic regression, was used to identify predictors of burn severity. Result: Of the 477 documented cases, females represented 62.05% (296 cases) and males 37.95% (181 cases). Flame burns predominated, comprising 70% of incidents, significantly impacting females engaged in cooking activities. The data revealed a distinct seasonal trend with a significant peak in January, where 40% (191 cases) of annual burn incidents occurred due to campfire exposure. The analysis further demonstrated that burns covering more than 30% of total body surface area (TBSA) were significantly associated with higher morbidity and mortality, with third-degree burns occurring in 92.9% of females compared to 55.8% of males. Logistic regression identified age (OR = 1.28, CI [1.13-2.71]), gender (OR = 1.75, CI [1.11-1.47]), and the cause of ignition (OR = 0.56, CI [0.41-0.76]) as significant predictors of burn severity. Conclusion: The findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions to address the high incidence of burns among young to middle-aged women, particularly through safer cooking practices and awareness campaigns. Additionally, public health strategies should consider seasonal risks and promote safer heating methods during colder months. This study underlines critical areas for intervention and highlights the importance of culturally tailored public health strategies to reduce burn injuries in Northern Bangladesh.

Published: May 2024

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAP) requires good evaluation to reduce amputation rate. The aim of this study is to assess non-invasive detection methods in evaluating microvascular conditions in PAP. The potential use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in identifying disorders in patients with PAP, either with or without DM, was also assessed. A systematic literature search was conducted through PUBMED until October 2023. Based on the literature review, it can be concluded that the use of NIRS in evaluating microvascular status in PAP is a non-invasive testing method that has expanded its role. Evaluation with NIRS provides metrics such as recovery time, deoxygenation, oxygen consumption (VO2), tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), total haemoglobin (HbT), and oxyhemoglobin area under the curve (O2 HbAUC). NIRS also has the potential to assist multidisciplinary teams in treating high-risk patients, especially in diabetic patients whose symptoms are compensated by peripheral neuropathy. This study shows that NIRS can be used as a useful tool in evaluating microvascular status in PAP, by providing important information that can be used to optimise patient care and prevent more serious complications. It is concluded that NIRS can be used as a tool to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and prevent worsening of the condition of patients with PAP in diabetic foot.

Studi ini dilakukan dengan tujuan mengevaluasi korelasi penggunaan gawai dengan miopia dan parameter biometrik mata yang relevan seperti panjang aksial bola mata dan spherical equivalent. Sumber literatur dari database elektronik menggunakan NCBI, ProQuest dan Google Scholar dengan kata kunci dalam Bahasa Inggris “Gadget”, “Myopia”, dan “Vision Impairment” dan dalam Bahasa Indonesia “Gawai”, “Miopi”, dan “Kelainan Refraksi”. Artikel yang ditemukan dipublikasi dari Januari 2012 hingga Juni 2022 kemudian diseleksi untuk menurut objektif studi ini dan didapatkan limabelas jurnal yang digunakan dalam studi ini. Jarak penggunaan gawai mempunyai korelasi dengan kelainan miopia. Posisi berbaring juga ditemukan mempunyai hubungan dengan kelainan miopia. Sementara durasi penggunaan gawai ditemukan tidak mempunyai korelasi dengan kelainan myopia Penggunaan gawai dapat menjadi salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya kelainan refraksi. Berdasarkan penelitian yang sudah terkumpulkan, diketahui jarak penggunaan gawai <30 cm dan posisi penggunaan gawai secara berbaring memiliki hubungan dengan kejadian kelainan refraksi sedangkan durasi penggunaan gawai tidak memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan kejadian kelainan refraksi seperti miopia.

Introdução: O Transtorno Opositivo Desafiador, também conhecido como Transtorno Opositivo-Desafiador (TOD), é uma condição psiquiátrica caracterizada por comportamentos desafiadores em relação a figuras de autoridade, frequentemente presente desde a infância. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo é analisar os impactos no desenvolvimento infantil de crianças afetadas por TOD. Metodologia: Utilizou-se uma abordagem observacional, revisando 11 documentos científicos publicados entre 2020 e 2024, selecionados na PubMed e SciELO. Os documentos foram analisados independentemente por dois revisores. Os resultados foram sintetizados e organizados para uma análise detalhada dos impactos do TOD no desenvolvimento infantil. Resultados e Discussão: O TOD tem ramificações significativas no desenvolvimento infantil, afetando o desempenho acadêmico, as relações sociais e apresentando riscos a curto e longo prazo. Manifestações como irritabilidade e desafio às regras podem prejudicar o rendimento escolar e dificultar as interações sociais, levando a conflitos familiares e punições disciplinares. A longo prazo, o TOD está associado a um maior risco de desenvolver outros transtornos mentais e problemas legais, afetando a vida profissional. Conclusão: O estudo destaca a complexidade do TOD e a necessidade de intervenções adequadas. Estratégias de manejo precoce e personalizado são essenciais, assim como a pesquisa contínua para o desenvolvimento de terapias inovadoras. O engajamento da comunidade científica e profissionais de saúde é crucial para enfrentar os desafios associados ao TOD e melhorar a qualidade de vida das crianças afetadas

EFFECTIVENESS OF CBT BASED RELAPSE PREVENTION THERAPY IN REDUCING RELAPSE RISK AND CRAVING AMONG INDIVIDUALS WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER
Authors: Hassan Imran  , Dr. Aafia Rasool
Published: May 2024

Present study explored the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Relapse Prevention Techniques (CBT-BRPT) in reducing relapse risk and craving among individuals with substance use disorder (SUD). Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, the study addressed the pressing need for evidence-based interventions to combat SUD and its associated challenges. Present study employed a Pre-Experimental Research Design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, utilized the purposive sampling to recruit a sample of 50 male participants seeking treatment for SUD. The instruments utilized include the Stimulant Relapse Risk Scale (SRRS), the Brief Substance Craving Scale (BSCS), and a Demographic Information Form. Results demonstrated significant reductions in both craving and relapse risk among participants who received CBT-BRPT intervention. These findings underscore the importance of CBT-BRPT as a viable treatment option for individuals with SUD, offering promising implications for clinical practice and substance abuse treatment programs. Despite limitations such as sample size and absence of a control group, the study's findings advocate for the integration of CBT approaches into existing treatment modalities and call for further research to validate the efficacy of CBT interventions in addressing substance use disorders comprehensively.
Lost Utopia in Palestinian Flash Fiction
Authors: Saffuri khoury Samah
Published: May 2024

The present study examines the use of dystopia as a device in Palestinian flash fiction composed by writers living in Israel. The study will look at three examples of flash fiction and investigate how dystopia is manifested in the stories' plot, characters and language, in an attempt to evaluate the relationship between the distorted reality that came into being after the war of 1948 and the social, political and economic effects it left. I therefore examined the themes which Palestinian writers have addressed in flash fiction and investigated their use of dystopia in order to express the state of crisis in which Palestinians inside Israel live, and how this affects the plot, the language and the characters. Our study shows that dystopia has been used in order to express the state of crisis in which individuals live and their inability to accept the psychological and economic damage left by the war, as reflected in the characters, who gradually lose their hope for a secure future.
ВІРТУАЛІЗАЦІЯ ІНФЛЮЕНС-МАРКЕТИНГУ ЯК ТРИГЕР
ЗБІЛЬШЕННЯ ПОПИТУ І ПРОДАЖ
Authors: Гаврилюк О.В.
Published: May 2024

Бурхливий розвиток інноваційних технологій та соціальних мереж, пандемія Covid-19, поява
феномену і зростання значущості покоління Z у ряді сфер життєдіяльності й розробці високотехнологічних девайсів генерували нові проблеми та завдання щодо реалізації маркетингових
стратегій. До глобальних трендів сьогодення належить посилення впливу VIP-персон, віртуалізація останніх, а також усвідомлення нової парадигми ментальності клієнтів, насамперед
покоління Z.
У статті висвітлено еволюцію, трансформацію та специфіку сучасних парасоціальних відносин і нові формати споживання контенту знаменитостей. Показана важливість зворотного
зв’язку в інфлюенс економіці як чинника створення та вдосконалення продукції та сервісів з
боку компаній.
Досліджені новітні тенденції та наслідки (підвищення рівня продаж, збільшення лояльності
споживачів до бренду, здійснення ребрендингу, нові формати інтерактивних взаємин зі споживачами і звідси — постійна необхідність створення їхнього якісного контенту і т.д.) віртуалізації інфлюенсерів та налагодження ними нової моделі співпраці з престижними брендами.
На конкретних прикладах аргументована більша вигідність використання цифрових аватарів
порівняно з реальними людьми. Окреслені переваги перших, зокрема, бюджетність, передбачуваність, набагато вищий рівень контактності з підписниками. Якщо заміна людей роботами,
особливо у виробництві, машинобудуванні, логістиці та перевезеннях, стала повсякденною,
то для бізнесменів і блогерів, які отримують прибуток від продажу та реклами в соціальних
мережах, конкуренція у вигляді (або за рахунок) робота – явище нове та незвичайне. Використання роботизованих створінь з елементами штучного інтелекту детермінувало модифікацію
рекламних стратегій і моделей взаємин зі споживачами. Аргументовано тезу, згідно якої поява
віртуальних інфлюенсерів стала додатковою і напрочуд важливою мотивацією до комерціалізації потенціалу брендів.
ПРАВОВЕ РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ ГОСПОДАРСЬКИХ ВІДНОСИН
В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ
Authors: Рассомахіна О.А.
Published: May 2024

У статті проаналізовано доктринальні підходи та положення господарського законодавства
щодо порядку здійснення господарської діяльності в умовах воєнного стану. Надано визначення
поняття воєнний стан та спеціальний режим господарювання. Виокремлено основні елементи
механізму спеціального режиму господарювання. Проаналізовано основні нормативно-правові
акти у даній сфері та узагальнено положення господарського законодавства стосовно здійснення
господарської діяльності в період війни. Визначено основні заходи правового режиму воєнного
стану у сфері господарювання. Показано вплив розвитку господарського законодавства
воєнного періоду на порядок здійснення окремих видів господарської діяльності. Надано
оцінку стану правового регулювання у сфері господарської діяльності в умовах воєнного стану.
Ідентифіковано основні проблеми для сфери економіки й господарювання, породжені воєнним
вторгненням на територію України держави-агресора.
Метою статті є висвітлення теоретичних і практичних засад здійснення та порядку регулювання
господарської діяльності в умовах воєнного стану; дослідження змін у господарському
законодавстві, які сталися у даний період.
У процесі дослідження застосовувалися філософські та загальнонаукові методи пізнання,
національне законодавство та правова доктрина у сфері господарського права, а також
результати окремих економіко-статистичних досліджень.
Обґрунтовано, що державою в особі уповноважених нею органів вжито належних заходів, які
створюють умови для провадження господарської та підприємницької діяльності зацікавленими
суб’єктами в умовах війни, створено відповідний механізм їх організаційного забезпечення у
законодавстві. Органи державної влади та місцевого самоврядування зобов’язані продовжувати
функціонування та здійснення своїх повноважень в умовах воєнного стану. У кінцевому підсумку
вжитих заходів виявилося достатньо для забезпечення безперебійного ведення господарської
та підприємницької діяльності усіма зацікавленими суб’єктами, підприємствами, установами та
організаціями усіх форм власності.
З’ясовано, що саме Конституцією України та Законом «Про правовий режим воєнного
стану» визначається правовий статус та обмеження прав і свобод громадян та прав і законних
інтересів юридичних осіб в умовах воєнного стану.
Розроблено визначення поняття спеціальний режим господарювання, яким визначено
порядок здійснення господарської діяльності в умовах воєнного стану, що характеризується
наявністю заборон та обмежень стосовно прав та інтересів суб’єктів господарювання, а також
наявністю ряду важливих пільг для них у даний період.
