Published: September 2023

Heart health is an important thing to monitor, because the heart is an important vital organ and is prone to disturbances, especially for the elderly. Such as stroke, arrhythmia and other heart diseases. Usually a heart rate detector is only owned by people who work as health workers and health agencies, and if someone who has heart disease such as stroke and arrhythmia wants to check his heart health, he must come to a doctor or health agency. Therefore, a measuring device and monitoring of heart rate are made on a regular basis. This heart rate measuring and monitoring device is based on a microcontroller and android with a periodic database-based monitoring system. By using the MAX 30100 sensor which has an average error of approximately 3% with a difference value of more than 3 bpm with existing standard measuring instruments.

HR systems can provide a long-term competitive advantage through permitting the growth of firm-specific abilities. Strategic management of human resources involves with establishing a connection amongst the general strategic objectives of the organization and the strategy for human resources and performance. In this study, an approach to surveys was used using an autonomous standardized questionnaires as a data collecting technique, which was communicated to (50) executives and gathered from (29) managers. The study found no significant differences in HRM effects based on work format. Years of expertise significantly influenced HRM dynamics and performance indicators, indicating its crucial role. Overall, expertise had a more substantial impact than work format on HRM-related outcomes. The current investigation makes significant enhancements to the reservoir of information at both the scientific and pragmatic stages, and it offers substantial suggestions that will improve HRM and SHRM management, which will enhance the overall success of the organization

Sustainable Development Goals or sustainable development is a development concept carried out by the government to improve the community's welfare and preserve the environment. The national development program is now starting to experience a paradigm shift. Previously, the focus of development was more emphasized on the economic sector in local government areas only, but now the director of development is starting to target rural areas as the most significant contributor to achieving the success of national development. The purpose of this research is to map tourist villages in Banyumas Regency into several categories according to their potential and level of development. This research was conducted from October to November 2022 with the selection of research locations carried out purposively based on considerations of being a village that has a tourist location, both developed and newly developed, having various village potentials such as nature, culture, and UMKM, managed by the village government and residents supported by the local government, universities, and investors spread across 13 tourist villages in the Banyumas Regency area Kalisalak, Wlahar Wetan, Linggasari, Melung, Papringan, Pandak, Banjaranyar, Limpakuwus, Kalisari, Susukan, Karangsalam Lor, Cikakak, and Karang Tengah. The population in this study amounted to 160 people, with a research sample of 90 people consisting of 14 village governments, 48 tourism managers, and 28 local villagers. This research uses qualitative data analysis methods with primary data sources obtained directly from the field and supported by secondary data obtained by researchers from various media such as the Internet and other research results as support. The data collection techniques used in this research were structured interviews, observation, and literature study. The results showed that several village areas in Banyumas Regency have become tourist villages or pioneered to become tourist villages with a management system carried out by the local community in collaboration with the village government and in partnership with external parties such as universities, investors, and local governments. These villages have various characteristics of potential that can be developed, such as natural potential, artistic potential, and UMKM. Seen from the level of development, tourist villages in Banyumas Regency are divided into several categories, namely the tourist village category, the developing tourist village category, and the embryonic village category.

Published: September 2023

Farmers make decisions with incomplete information. Industrial producers can determine the number of products they produce using different inputs. Farmers find it impossible. The paper aims to measure farmers’ perception of sources of production risk. For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed based on the researched literature and the reality of the farms. We conducted face-to-face interviews with 260 farmers to assess how they assess sources of production risk. We measured perception using a 1-to-5 Likert scale psychometric rating. From the descriptive statistical analysis, the perception of the farmers for the production risk is very high. Also, the perception of the five sources of risk (drought, flooding, low temperature, non-quality factors of production, and damage) varies from high to very high. While from the regression analysis, the statistically significant variables are drought and flood. Their impact is 86% on production risk.

Plaque Territory Detection in IVUS Images based on Concentration of Entropy and Gradient Magnitude via Spiral Random Walk-based Approach
Authors: Jantarakongkul Benchaporn , Kulkasem Pusit
Published: September 2023

This paper presents a simple and optimal approach for automatically identifying the location and size of plaque territories in IVUS images, thus improving plaque territory classification. Unlike existing circular-based algorithms, we leverage the anatomical structure of IVUS images to enhance accuracy. The adventitia, which constitutes the largest part of the image, serves as a landmark; however, its low contrast makes edge detection challenging. To address this issue, we enhance the brightness of the adventitia, identify and remove intima blobs, and accurately determine the media boundary. This aids in simplifying the calculation of plaque territory. To locate the plaque territory, we employ a spiral random walk-based approach that utilizes the concentration of entropy and gradient magnitude in the target area. Our approach outperforms existing methods, contributing to automated plaque analysis for cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment. The results show that the proposed approach achieves an accuracy of 0.89, precision of 0.81, recall of 0.77, and F1-Score of 0.83, respectively.

Large diffuse galaxies are hard to find, but understanding the environments where they live, their numbers, and ultimately their origins, is of intense interest and importance for galaxy formation and evolution. Using Subaru’s Hyper Suprime-Cam Strategic Survey Program, we perform a systematic search for low surface brightness galaxies and present novel and effective methods for detecting and modeling them. As a case study, we surveyed 922 Milky Way analogs in the nearby Universe (0.01 < z < 0.04) and built a large sample of satellite galaxies that are outliers in the mass–size relation. These “ultra-puffy” galaxies (UPGs), defined to be 1.5σ above the average mass–size relation, represent the tail of the satellite size distribution. We find that each MW analog hosts N
UPG = 0.31 ± 0.05 UPGs on average, which is consistent with but slightly lower than the observed abundance at this halo mass in the Local Volume. We also construct a sample of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in MW analogs and find an abundance of N
UDG = 0.44 ± 0.05 per host. With literature results, we confirm that the UDG abundance scales with the host halo mass following a sublinear power law. We argue that our definition of UPGs, which is based on the mass–size relation, is more physically motivated than the common definition of UDGs, which depends on the surface brightness and size cuts and thus yields different surface mass density cuts for quenched and star-forming galaxies.

1ES1927+654 is a nearby active galactic nucleus (AGN) that has shown an enigmatic outburst in optical/UV followed by X-rays, exhibiting strange variability patterns at timescales of months to years. Here we report the unusual X-ray, UV, and radio variability of the source in its postflare state (2022 January–2023 May). First, we detect an increase in the soft X-ray (0.3–2 keV) flux from 2022 May to 2023 May by almost a factor of 5, which we call the bright soft state. The hard X-ray 2–10 keV flux increased by a factor of 2, while the UV flux density did not show any significant changes (≤30%) in the same period. The integrated energy pumped into the soft and hard X-rays during this period of 11 months is ∼3.57 × 1050 erg and 5.9 × 1049 erg, respectively. From the energetics, it is evident that whatever is producing the soft excess (SE) is pumping out more energy than either the UV or hard X-ray source. Since the energy source presumably is ultimately the accretion of matter onto the supermassive black hole, the SE-emitting region must be receiving the majority of this energy. In addition, the source does not follow the typical disk–corona relation found in AGNs, neither in the initial flare (from 2017 to 2019) nor in the current bright soft state (2022–2023). We found that the core (<1 pc) radio emission at 5 GHz gradually increased until 2022 March, but showed a dip in 2022 August. The Güdel–Benz relation (L
radio/L
X-ray ∼ 10−5), however, is still within the expected range for radio-quiet AGNs, and further follow-up radio observations are currently being undertaken.
Flares from Merged Magnetars: Their Prospects as a New Population of Gamma-Ray Counterparts of Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Authors: Yi Shu-Xu , Zhang Zhen , Wang Xilu
Published: September 2023

Long-lived massive magnetars are expected to be remnants of some binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. In this paper, we argue that the magnetic powered flaring activities of these merged magnetars would occur dominantly in their early millisecond-period-spin phase, which is in the timescale of days. Such flares endure significant absorption by the ejecta from the BNS collision, and their detectable energy range is from 0.1 to 10 MeV, in a time lag of approximately days after the merger events indicated by the gravitational wave chirps. We estimate the rate of such flares in different energy ranges, and find that there could have been 0.1–10 cases detected by Fermi/GBM. A careful search for ∼10 ms spin-period modulation in weak short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) may identify them from the archival data. The next-generation megaelectronvolt detectors could detect them at a mildly higher rate. The recent report on the Quasi-Period-Oscillation found in two BASTE GRBs should not be considered as cases of such flares, for they were detected in a lower energy range and with a much shorter period spin modulation.

Published: September 2023

We introduce the New-ANGELS program, an XMM-Newton survey of a ∼7.2 deg2 area around M31, which aims to study the X-ray populations in the M31 disk and the X-ray-emitting hot gas in the inner halo of M31 up to 30 kpc. In this first paper, we report the catalog of 4506 detected X-ray sources and attempt to cross-identify or roughly classify them. We identify 352 single stars in the foreground, 35 globular clusters, and 27 supernova remnants associated with M31, as well as 62 active galactic nuclei, 59 galaxies, and one galaxy cluster in the background. We uniquely classify 236 foreground stars and 17 supersoft sources based on their X-ray colors. X-ray binaries (83 low-mass and one high-mass) are classified based on their X-ray colors and X-ray variabilities. The remaining X-ray sources either have too low signal-to-noise ratios to calculate their X-ray colors or do not have a unique classification, so are regarded as unclassified. The X-ray source catalog is published online. Studies of the X-ray source populations and the contribution of X-ray sources in the unresolved X-ray emissions based on this catalog will be published in companion papers.

Published: September 2023

The rapid variability of X-ray binaries (XRBs) produces a wide range of X-ray states that are linked to activity across the electromagnetic spectrum. It is particularly challenging to study a sample of sources large enough to include all types in their various states, and to cover the full range of frequencies that show flux density variations. Simultaneous observations with many telescopes are necessary. In this project, we monitor 48 XRBs with seven telescopes across the electromagnetic spectrum from 5 × 109 to 1019 Hz, including ground-based radio, IR, and optical observatories, and five instruments on two spacecraft over a 1 week period. We construct spectral energy distributions and matching X-ray color–intensity diagrams for 20 sources that have the most extensive detections. Our observations are consistent with several models of expected behavior proposed for the different classes: we detect no significant radio emission from pulsars or atoll sources, but we do detect radio emission from Z sources in the normal or horizontal branch, and from black holes in the high/soft, low/hard, and quiescent states. The survey data provide useful constraints for more detailed models predicting behavior from the different classes of sources.
PSF-based Analysis for Detecting Unresolved Wide Binaries

Published: September 2023

Wide binaries play a crucial role in analyzing the birth environment of stars and the dynamical evolution of clusters. When wide binaries are located at greater distances, their companions may overlap in the observed images, becoming indistinguishable and resulting in unresolved wide binaries, which are difficult to detect using traditional methods. Utilizing deep learning, we present a method to identify unresolved wide binaries by analyzing the point-spread function (PSF) morphology of telescopes. Our trained model demonstrates exceptional performance in differentiating between single stars and unresolved binaries with separations ranging from 0.1 to 2 physical pixels, where the PSF FWHM is ∼2 pixels, achieving an accuracy of 97.2% for simulated data from the Chinese Space Station Telescope. We subsequently tested our method on photometric data of NGC 6121 observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. The trained model attained an accuracy of 96.5% and identified 18 wide binary candidates with separations between 7 and 140 au. The majority of these wide binary candidates are situated outside the core radius of NGC 6121, suggesting that they are likely first-generation stars, which is in general agreement with the results of Monte Carlo simulations. Our PSF-based method shows great promise in detecting unresolved wide binaries and is well suited for observations from space-based telescopes with stable PSF. In the future, we aim to apply our PSF-based method to next-generation surveys such as the China Space Station Optical Survey, where a larger-field-of-view telescope will be capable of identifying a greater number of such wide binaries.

Introduction: Gastritis is among the most common human diseases worldwide. Although the involvement of Helicobacter pylori infection as a class I human carcinogen for gastric cancer progression is accepted, it is not well known how gastritis progression to atrophy and stomach cancer occurs. In this case-control study, the potential link of H. pylori infection with alteration in the transcription of genes involved in DNA Damage Response pathways was investigated among the patients with gastritis.
Methodology: To measure the difference in the relative mRNA expression level of ATM, CHEK2, TP53, DCLRE1C, POLM, and XRCC4 genes between H. pylori-infected and non-infected patients, gastric biopsies of 30 H. pylori infected patients with moderate chronic gastritis and 30 non-infected patients with mild chronic gastritis were analyzed.
Results: Up-regulation of genes linked to non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway (DCLRE1C, POLM, and XRCC) was shown in 40% (8.44 fold ± 13.91), 63.33% (15.72 fold ± 33.08) and 50% (9.99 fold ± 21.55), respectively, and also to DDR pathway (ATM, CHEK2, and TP53) in 33% (2.42 fold ± 3.17), 40% (2.86 fold ± 3.61) and 50% (5.00 fold ± 6.52), respectively. No correlation was detected between alteration in the transcription level of the studied genes and age or gender.
Conclusions: Our results provide new data that may support the potential involvement of H. pylori infection in the activation of genes involved in DNA damage response, mainly through a non-homologous end-joining DNA repair system that might be linked to mutagenesis in the pre-cancerous gastric tissue.
Assessing the invasion risk of traded alien ferns using species distribution models
Authors: McCulloch-Jones Emily J. , Kraaij Tineke , Crouch Neil , Faulkner Katelyn T.
Published: September 2023

Risk analysis plays a crucial role in regulating and managing alien and invasive species but can be time-consuming and costly. Alternatively, combining invasion and impact history with species distribution models offers a cost-effective and time-efficient approach to assess invasion risk and identify species for which a comprehensive risk analysis should take precedence. We conducted such an assessment for six traded alien fern species, determining their invasion risk in countries where they are traded. Four of the species (Dicksonia antarctica, Dryopteris erythrosora, Lygodium japonicum, and Phlebodium aureum) showed limited global distributions, while Adiantum raddianum and Sphaeropteris cooperi had broader distributions. A. raddianum, however, was the only species found to pose a high invasion risk in two known trade countries – the USA and Australia – and requires a complete risk analysis to determine the appropriate regulatory responses. Dicksonia antarctica, Phlebodium aureum (for New Zealand), and Dryopteris erythrosora (for the USA) posed a medium risk of invasion due to the lack of evidence of impacts, and a complete risk analysis is thus deemed less crucial for these species in these countries. For other species, suitable environments were not predicted in the countries where they are traded, thus the risk of invasion is low, and a complete risk analysis is not required. For species in countries where suitable environments are predicted but no trade information or presence data are available, risk assessments are recommended to better determine the risk posed. Despite the relatively limited potential global distribution of the studied ferns relative to other major plant invaders (e.g., Pinus spp. and Acacia spp.), their history of invasion, documented impacts in pristine environments, and high propagule pressure from trade warrants concern, possibly necessitating legislative and regulatory measures in environmentally suitable regions.
Pacte social et gouvernance de l’entreprise. Pour un nouvel équilibre entre les parties prenantes
Authors: Vatteville Éric
Published: September 2023

Les crises financières du début du XXI ème siècle ont mis en évidence les limites de l’intégrisme actionnarial. Elles ont suscité un élargissement des attentes de la société visà- vis de l’entreprise et conduit à prôner un système de gouvernance partenariale, reflet d’un nouveau pacte social agrandissant le cercle des bénéficiaires de la création de valeur . Pour instituer l’entreprise, objet juridique mal identifié, il faut formaliser un compromis stable entre la justice et l’efficacité. Selon l’intensité de l’exigence réformatrice, deux chemins peuvent être empruntés. D’un côté une transformation radicale conduisant à une définition nouvelle des structures juridiques du pouvoir, des droits et des obligations des parties prenantes. D’un autre, un renforcement progressif d’un contre-pouvoir face à la suprématie actionnariale, solution moins ambitieuse mais néanmoins capable de rénover le dialogue social . Une avancée démocratique dans la gouvernance de l’entreprise, fût-elle dans un premier temps limitée aux apporteurs de travail, pourrait rétablir un peu de confiance dans une société qui en est fort dépourvue .

Astérix, phénomène éditorial
Authors: Lesage Sylvain
Published: September 2023

Le succès d’Astérix marque, après des débuts modestes, l’entrée
dans une nouvelle ère de l’édition de bande dessinée. Cette contribution s’intéresse à Astérix
comme phénomène éditorial, véritable locomotive pour le secteur. Il s’agit de décrypter le rôle
joué par la série dans la modernisation du marché de la bande dessinée en France et d’étudier
l’impact de cette modernisation sur la diffusion internationale de la série. La vente d’albums,
considérée dans un premier temps comme marginale, devient l’activité centrale des éditeurs. De
marché de niche, la vente d’albums se mue en marché industriel de masse. C’est le succès
commercial qui attire l’attention des éditeurs étrangers. Mais si Astérix a fait naître le
marché français de l’album et a connu un grand succès à l’exportation, deux pays, le Japon et
les États-Unis, demeurent rétifs à la série, spécificité qui tient sans doute à la structure de
leur marché, organisé autour de la presse périodique.
Astérix, œuvre gaullienne ?
Authors: Rouvière Nicolas
Published: September 2023

Les critiques qui s’interrogent dans les années 1960 sur le succès d’Astérix se livrent à une lecture politique de l’œuvre, qualifiée de parodie de l’action résistante du général de Gaulle et de chantre d’une idéologie nationaliste. Les auteurs ont toujours fait valoir que ces allégations ne tenaient pas, en raison de leurs origines respectives, du succès d’Astérix à l’étranger et de leur moquerie récurrente du chauvinisme. Et ils ont toujours insisté sur l’absence de message politique. Pour autant, toute œuvre demeure en rapport avec le moment historique et l’état de la société dans lesquels elle se situe. Cette étude analyse les grands thèmes politiques de la série : le résistancialisme, l’anti-impérialisme, l’opposition entre régionalisme et centralisme, ainsi que la critique du capitalisme. Elle invalide au final les stéréotypes idéologiques liés à la réputation gaullienne d’Astérix pour montrer comment il est proposé une synthèse républicaine et moderne, à la croisée des clivages.
Les femmes dans Astérix : uniquement des emmerdeuses ?
Authors: Lipani-Vaissade Marie-Christine
Published: September 2023

« Faite par de vieux petits garçons, pour de jeunes petits garçons », la définition de la bande dessinée par Pierre Christin est éclairante. La série Astérix n’échappe pas à cet excès de misogynie. Les femmes sont absentes du premier album. Il faut attendre 1972 pour qu’elles aient droit de goûter à la potion magique et 1974 pour qu’elles assistent au banquet final. Petit à petit cependant, les femmes prendront part aux intrigues. Si les femmes sont caricaturées, les hommes sont régulièrement ridiculisés et ce sont souvent les Gauloises qui ouvrent l’esprit des messieurs, quitte à embrouiller les intrigues. Cette étude vise d’abord à cibler le personnage féminin, son positionnement sociologique, les conditions de production de son discours, pour déterminer si les femmes dans Astérix s’en sortent mieux que dans d’autres séries du même type. Ce questionnement alimente la deuxième partie du propos. Il s’agira d’aller voir si d’autres héros, tel Lucky Luke, se comportent avec les femmes de la même manière.
De l’étrangeté en traduction
Authors: Faye Thomas
Published: September 2023

Astérix est fondé sur le jeu linguistique et la convocation de compétences et de références culturelles qui impliquent une connivence entre auteurs et lecteurs. Il en va ainsi pour les voyages hors de Gaule : on livre au lectorat une image de l’étranger construite le plus souvent sur des stéréotypes. La langue est mise au service d’une représentation comiquement stéréotypée de l’Autre, que le traducteur va devoir restituer. Dans la version espagnole d’Astérix en Hispanie, celui-ci propose au lecteur une représentation décalée de lui-même. Les mécanismes sémiotiques de l’humour se retournent : le traducteur doit instaurer une distance suffisante entre texte et public pour garantir la permanence du comique original. Ce sont ces stratégies de reformulation éminemment sémiotiques, en particulier la créativité onomastique, que cette étude se propose d’analyser, afin de percevoir la force avec laquelle la langue façonne un système de représentation au sein d’une communauté culturelle.
Traduire l’image dans les albums d’Astérix
Authors: Yuste Frías José
Published: September 2023

Si la bande dessinée se sert à la fois du texte et de l’image, il ne s’agit pas d’une simple addition, pas plus que d’une subordination de l’une à l’autre, mais d’une complémentarité. Le texte guide l’interprétation de l’image et l’image oriente la lecture du texte. Il faut donc cesser de penser que le traducteur ne doit s’occuper que du texte. Or, certaines traductions espagnoles d’Astérix se sont bornées au texte en oubliant l’image. Comment alors traduire la symbolique française et francophone d’une image fixe sans texte écrit comme celle du pouce levé dans Astérix en Hispanie ? Cette étude montre que l’image n’est pas universelle, qu’elle peut avoir un sens différent, voire étranger, d’une langue à l’autre, d’une culture à l’autre. La tâche de traduire des bandes dessinées est toujours ardue et elle l’est davantage avec les albums d’Astérix où bien lire et interpréter l’image fixe devient essentiel pour mieux traduire le texte écrit dont le foisonnement de jeux de mots n’est plus à démontrer.
Late Roman burials in urban contexts: old questions and new methods
Authors: Arnau Alexandra Chavarría
Published: September 2023

From the 3rd century important changes took place in the funerary topography of Roman cities. Firstly, suburban areas previously used for residential or industrial activities outside city walls were used for funerary purposes. Later, beginning in the 4th century, but most commonly in subsequent centuries, dispersed burials start to appear in the intramural space of cities.Both of these two phenomena, widely detected in the Western provinces, are connected to the more general subject of urban transformations in Late Antiquity and therefore have been widely debated since the 1980s. However, no single explanation has been formulated, and the topic is further complicated by the quite vigorous debate on questions such as the 3rd century crisis, the extent of Christianisation and the effects of destructions caused by barbarians and of their settlement in Roman cities.The aim of this paper is to look again at both processes of change, taking into account both old and new archaeological evidence, and new methodologies and interpretations, in order to illuminate their possible causes and interpretations.
Analyse intégrative d’un espace funéraire complexe : le cas du cimetière de l’Antiquité tardive de Canusium (Lieu-dit Lamapopoli, Canosa, Pouilles)
Authors: De Santis Paola , Panzarino Ginevra , Sperduti Alessandra
Published: September 2023

Un vaste et complexe cimetière a été mis au jour dans le suburbium de Canusium, ville antique du centre-nord des Pouilles, au lieu-dit Lamapopoli. Il présente la coexistence d’un ensemble funéraire souterrain (catacombes et hypogées) creusé à différentes altitudes sur le front de la crête rocheuse qui caractérise le site, et d’une nécropole de plein air qui occupe la plaine en contrebas.La fréquentation funéraire de l’ensemble du cimetière remonte à l’Antiquité romaine et tardive, du iie au vie s. ; en revanche, l’excavation et l’utilisation de l’hypogée sont limitées à la période comprise entre la moitié du ive et le vie s. À l’heure actuelle, au moins 14 ensembles funéraires souterrains indépendants sont connus, avec des entrées indépendantes et différentes en termes d’extension et de distribution planimétrique.La documentation épigraphique et iconographique atteste de la fréquentation et de l’utilisation du complexe des catacombes par la communauté chrétienne de la ville.
Les nécropoles péri-urbaines de l’Antiquité tardive en Bourgogne
Authors: Fossurier Carole , Burgevin Alexandre
Published: September 2023

En ancienne Bourgogne administrative, l’analyse de plusieurs nécropoles péri-urbaines permet de mieux appréhender les phénomènes funéraires du milieu du iiie siècle au début du vie siècle. Les villes de Sens, Auxerre, Dijon, Beaune, Autun, Chalon-sur-Saône et Mâcon ont en effet fait l’objet de découvertes anciennes et d’opérations archéologiques récentes qui offrent la possibilité de donner diverses particularités des pratiques funéraires héritées du Haut-Empire au sein des nécropoles situées en périphérie de ces agglomérations. La topographie interne des espaces funéraires, du point de vue de l’orientation des tombes, du marquage de celles-ci et de leur organisation montre quant à elle une phase de transition entre la haute Antiquité et la période mérovingienne. La nécessité de rapprocher les nécropoles des nouvelles limites des villes devient prépondérante. Le monde funéraire de l’Antiquité tardive, au sein des aires funéraires péri-urbaines bourguignonnes, connaît ainsi des changements progressifs depuis le Haut-Empire qui le rapproche de celui du cimetière altomédiéval.

Lingua e Identità: il caso del bilinguismo in greco moderno
Authors: Polykratis Stavros
Published: September 2023

À travers le récit de son expérience en tant que locuteur italien, mais exposé au grec dans sa famille et grâce aux contacts avec des parents et amis en Grèce lors de certains séjours, l'auteur arrive à la conclusion que la langue donne l'identité autant que le visage. En particulier, l'apprentissage du grec ancien, alors qu'il était déjà jeune homme, lui a permis d'évoluer d'une manière complètement différente en grec moderne que lorsqu'il était enfant.

“Scegli un lavoro che ti piaccia e non dovrai lavorare un solo giorno in vita tua”. Ho preso alla lettera questa massima di Confucio per mettere un termine a sei anni di carriera nell’ambito del commercio internazionale e rivolgermi verso l’insegnamento del francese lingua straniera (FLE). Oggi, però, dispenso le mie lezioni in Alsazia e in Germania sotto lo statuto di “autoimprenditore”.
Precedentes e argumentação: dificuldades enfrentadas pelo supremo tribunal federal na fundamentação de suas decisões
Authors: Strapasson Kamila Maria , De Queiroz Barboza Estefânia Maria
Published: September 2023

O estudo, tendo como marco teórico Dworkin, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica, analisa as principais dificuldades enfrentadas pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) quanto à fundamentação de suas decisões, especialmente no que tange ao uso dos precedentes e da doutrina nos casos difíceis, sugerindo aperfeiçoamentos. Inicialmente, em sede introdutória, destaca a importância da fundamentação das decisões da Corte para o respeito aos precedentes judiciais e para legitimidade do tribunal. Após, salienta a necessidade de construção de uma argumentação íntegra, trazendo breves apontamentos sobre a teoria de Dworkin do direito como integridade e sua metáfora do romance em cadeia. Para então, estudar algumas dificuldades enfrentadas pelo STF na fundamentação de suas decisões, as quais perpassam a inexistência de uma linha argumentativa sólida entre as decisões, a tendência de aplicação das decisões anteriores como se regra fossem, o uso de argumentos de autoridade e os impactos da adoção pela Corte de uma argumentação marcada pelo academicismo, beletrismo, maximalismo e cosmopolitismo. Por fim, especialmente com base na teoria de Dworkin, sugere aprimoramentos para a forma de fundamentação das decisões do STF.
Neuropsychological Features of Gaming Disorder and Psychiatric Comorbidities
Authors: Tei Shisei , Fujino Junya
Published: September 2023

This article highlights current research on gaming disorder (GD), focusing primarily on neuropsychological features. Advances in digital technology have made gaming more accessible, realistic, and competitive than ever before, leading to a rise in GD prevalence. Pathological gaming is frequently associated with poor inhibitory processing, decision-making, self-control, as well as exaggerated automatic, attentional, and emotional processing of gaming-related cues. Many of the core cognitive features of GD, including executive function (EF) dysfunction, associated deficits in cognitive flexibility, empathy, and social skills, are also observed in other addictions as well as seemingly unrelated psychiatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorder. Accordingly, recent brain-imaging studies of these disorders have repeatedly reported abnormal EF concomitant with altered activity in frontal regions subserving reward processing and self-control. These neuropsychological features may provide important clues to GD pathogenesis and improved clinical intervention.
Information and Informational Modeling in Living Structures
Authors: Gaiseanu Florin
Published: September 2023

Information is a concept not easily penetrated in science when this refers to the involved mechanisms in the body structuration and functionality. Limited only to describing the genetic info-activity, a general coherent approach and modeling of the human organism and of the composing eukaryotic cells has not yet been explored, so this chapter is dedicated to this issue. For this, the concept of matter-related information, operating by structuration/destructuration mechanisms typical for living structures, is defined. This allows us to approach/describe the body structuration and functionality in relation to the mind and consciousness, independently on the informational sources and their nature, and to reveal a similar informational system at the human/eukaryotic composing cell level, referred to as metabolism, genetic transmission/info-generation, info-selectivity, and cognitive/sentience/decisional processes, well supported in animals, plants, and micro-organisms (bacteria) by the experimental data.

Introduction to Ransomware
Authors: Abu Al-Haija Qasem , Jebril Noor A.
Published: September 2023

Ransomware can lock users' information or resources (such as screens); hence, authorized users are blocked from retrieving their private data/assets. Ransomware enciphers the victim's plaintext data into ciphertext data; subsequently, the victim host can no longer decipher the ciphertext data to original plaintext data. To get back the plaintext data, the user will need the proper decryption key; therefore, the user needs to pay the ransom. In this chapter, the authors shed light on ransomware malware, concepts, elements, structure, and other aspects of ransomware utilization. Specifically, this chapter will extend the elaboration on the ransomware, the state-of-art ransomware, the ransomware lifecycle, the ransomware activation and encryption processes, the ransom request process, the payment and recovery, the ransomware types, recommendation for ransomware detection and prevention, and strategies for ransomware mitigation.
