La experiencia musical en fiestas electrónicas
Authors:   , Marchiano María
Published: April 2023

La experiencia musical es un tema abordado fundamentalmente por la psicología de la música. Actualmente, la corriente que domina la disciplina es el poscognitivismo, que plantea que nuestra cognición es constitutivamente corporeizada, conceptual y social. En esta tesis se aborda el problema de la experiencia musical en fiestas electrónicas a partir de tres estudios empíricos realizados en la ciudad de La Plata (Argentina), cada uno de ellos orientado a indagar una de estas tres dimensiones de la cognición musical. El primer estudio aborda la dimensión corporeizada desde un punto de vista enactivo a partir del análisis de los movimientos del baile compartidos entre el público y sus vínculos con las características musicales. El segundo se focaliza en la dimensión conceptual de la cognición musical desde la teoría de la metáfora conceptual y los esquemas-imagen, y se orienta a identificar las metáforas utilizadas para expresar las características de la experiencia musical durante las fiestas. El tercero se ocupa de la dimensión social desde la perspectiva de la segunda persona, en base al análisis de las atribuciones de estados mentales e interacciones sociales entre los miembros del público y entre el DJ y el público. Los resultados de los tres estudios se integran en una descripción única de la experiencia musical en fiestas electrónicas que unifica algunos rasgos de las tres dimensiones cognitivas analizadas, permitiendo establecer vínculos entre el enactivismo, la teoría de la metáfora conceptual y las perspectivas de la atribución mental.

Published: April 2023

Background: Cone beam CT (CBCT) is an advancement of conventional CT that uses a divergent pyramidal or conical X-ray beam for imaging the craniofacial complex. Studies on the maxillary sinus and its relationship with the roots present within its close proximity are mostly based on computed tomography imaging and rarely being based on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study aims to determine the relationship of maxillary sinus and the mesiobuccal root of maxillary first molar using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods: The study was conducted in Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry (AFID) from Sept, 2019 to Feb, 2020. 142 CBCTs were studied in the duration of six months. The distance between the maxillary mesiobuccal root and floor of maxillary sinus was measured using the built in software. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS 23. p-value of <0.005 was considered significant. 

Results: The mean distance was -0.85 mm ± 2.56 on left side and -0.74mm ± 2.40 on right side. There was no significant difference between left and right side. The correlation between age and left and right-side measurements was statistically significant, p-value 0.000.

Conclusion: The relationship of maxillary sinus and the mesiobuccal root of maxillary first molar is significant. The study shows that in dentate healthy patients, the maxillary mesiobuccal molar root is nearly in contact with the sinus floor. These findings lead to the conclusion that performing surgical procedures in maxillary molar region may invariably lead to sinus perforation if one is not care full.

Published: April 2023

Optical emission spectroscopic diagnostics are applied to determine the temporal evolution and distance dependence from the target surface for deep oscillation magnetron sputtering (DOMS) with a titanium target. In the time evolution of emission intensities for atomic lines of optically emitting species formed in DOMS plasma, the envelope of the peak emission intensity for sputtered neutrals in each pulsed discharge was observed to rise gradually with increasing distance. The increase in the distance dependence of the optical emission corresponds to plasma build-up from gas plasma to metallic plasma, which has been reported in the deposition region using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer in Sanekata et al. [J. Appl. Phys.
131, 243301 (2022)]. On the other hand, the ion confinement effect was strongly observed for sputtered ions in the region up to the edge of the magnetic trap around 40 mm downstream from the target surface for the first pulse discharge.
The Pros and Cons of the 5-Year Single-Term Presidentialism and the Direction of Constitutional Amendment for Government Form
Authors:   Korean Constitutional Law Asscciation, Kim Jung-Hyun
Published: April 2023

The greatest achievement of the 5-year term presidency under the 1987 Constitution, which was the product of the June Democracy Movement, was breaking the cycle of dictatorship that had persisted since the enactment of the 1948 Constitution. The isolation from the era of dictatorship became an important foundation for abolishing the legacy of authoritarianism that had taken root throughout Korean society. The 1987 Constitution has had a profound impact on the political, economic, social, and cultural spheres. Since 1987, South Korea has experienced four regime changes, and democracy has matured. Transparency in society as a whole has improved through systems such as disclosure of public officials' assets, real-name financial transaction system, and confirmation hearings for public appointments. The elimination of authoritarianism has also had a positive impact on the economy and culture, leading to economic development and the growth of the cultural industry. As the era of state capitalism comes to an end, global companies are emerging in South Korea, and the era of censorship comes to an end, South Korea's cultural industry has begun to gain global influence.
Despite the clear achievements of the 5-year term presidency under the 1987 Constitution, there are also significant issues that need to be addressed. These include corruption and malfeasance among the President's inner circle, the damage caused by excessive concentration of power in the hands of the President, the incompetence of the President, problems in the relationship between the President and the National Assembly due to issues in election cycles, and political polarization caused by factional leadership conflicts.
I would like to propose a Korean-style presidentialism as a constitutional amendment to solve these problems. Specifically, the term of office of the president elected by a runoff vote shall be changed to a four-year mid-term system, but the election cycle shall be adjusted to elect members in half in the early general elections and mid-term elections, respectively. This would give citizens the opportunity to evaluate the President and the National Assembly through two parliamentary elections. Introducing a vice-presidential system could lead to new problems, so it is preferable to maintain the Prime Ministerial system, but if the National Assembly has the power to recommend the Prime Minister, they could play an active role in the appointment of the Prime Minister every two years, in the event of an opposition party victory in a parliamentary election. This could also enable the formation of a coalition government between the ruling and opposition parties. In addition, it is necessary to reduce the President's authority to appoint constitutional officials and to expand the influence of the National Assembly.

Background: Stroke, also known as a cerebrovascular accident, is common in patients and can be a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Stroke
and hyperglycemia appear to be linked in two ways. Diabetics are known to have a greater stroke rate than non-diabetics. Even in non-diabetics, a
mild degree of hyperglycemia early in a stroke has been reported to increase infarct size and lead to a bad prognosis. Aim: To study the clinical
prole, infarct size on CT scan, and clinical outcome of cerebral infraction in relation to glycemic status at presentation. Material and
Methodology: This prospective observational study was conducted in the medicine department of Jhalawar Medical College, Jhalawar, a tertiary
care center in south-east Rajasthan, from January 2020 to June 2021. The study included all ischemic stroke patients. Data were analyzed in SPSS
21. Independent t-tests and Chi-square tests were applied. A p value of < 0.05 was considered statistically signicant. Results: The current study
revealed that out of 100 participants, 39 were euglycemic, 27 had stress hyperglycemia, and 34 had diabetes; a small, medium, or large infarct was
present in 39, 27, and 34 patients, respectively. Diabetes patients had a statistically signicant high NIHSS score, blood sugar level, and deaths,
followed by stress hyperglycemia, and euglycemic patients had the lowest. Conclusion: Hyperglycemia, including stress hyperglycemia and
diabetes, was a common nding in patients with ischemic stroke, and NIHSS, blood sugar, and death were associated with hyperglycemia in
ischemic stroke patients.

Background: Thyroid dysfunction is becoming more common in HIV infected patients. However, there is no enough data to suggest routine
thyroid monitoring for those who are asymptomatic. Therefore, this study was conducted in an effort to nd a solution to these problems. Methods:
A cross sectional observational study was conducted on 50 adult HIV positive patients with no comorbidities. A detailed history taking and
examination was done and necessary investigations were done to make diagnosis. FT3, FT4, TSH and CD4 were done in all the patients. Results:
Overt Hypothyroidism was noted in 2%(1), subclinical hypothyroidism in 10% (6), isolated low FT4 noted in 2%(1) and sick euthyroidism in
22%(14) patients. FT3, FT4 levels found decreasing, as the stage of HIV advanced whereas TSH levels did not correlate with stage of infection. A
direct correlation was found FT3 and CD4 counts and an inverse correlation between TSH and CD4 counts. TSH levels in patients on HAARTwere
signicantly higher when compared to those not on HAART. Conclusion: Majotiy of HIV infected patients with thyroid dysfunction did not have
any symptoms. Serum FT3 and FT4 were directly correlated with WHO clinical infection stage. As CD4 counts dropped, TSH level was rising.
Subclinical hypothyroidism was prevalent among HAART patients. Due to short sample size, no association could be shown between
opportunistic infections and thyroid dysfunction

Authors: Kariuki Paul , Gikunda Dr. Patrick Kinyua , Mwangi Wandeto Dr. John
Published: April 2023

Medical image classification is not only a complex task but also a challenging one due to the heterogeneous nature of medical data. Deep transfer learning has proven to be a viable technique for medical image classification throughout the years, mostly because it is able to leverage knowledge from pre-trained models learned from large-scale datasets, improved performance, minimal training and overcoming the disadvantage of small data sets. This paper offers a succinct review of the cutting-edge deep transfer learning optimization approaches for medical image classification. The paper begins with an overview of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and transfer learning techniques, such as relation-based, feature, parameter and instance-based transfer learning. Then, the study examines classical classifiers, such as Resnet, VGG, Alexnet, Googlenet, and Inception, and compare their performance on medical image classification tasks. The study also presents optimization techniques, including batch normalization, regularization, and weight initialization, data augmentation and the kernel mathematical formulations. Finally, the study unearths  various challenges that arise when using deep transfer learning for medical image classification as well as potential future approaches for this field.
Performance Comparison of Advanced Torque Control Methods at Heavy Load and Wide Speed Range Conditions for Switched Reluctance Motors
Authors: Fang Gaoliang , Xia Zekun , Nahid-Mobarakeh Babak , Emadi Ali
Published: April 2023

Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) suffer from the high commutation torque ripples caused by the inherent pulsive torque generation mechanism. To address this issue, different advanced methods, such as the torque sharing function (TSF) method, the direct instantaneous torque control (DITC) method, and the model predictive torque control (MPTC) method, are proposed in the literature. In order to investigate the advantages and torque control performance of each method, especially at heavy load and wide speed range conditions, this paper presents a comprehensive comparison among the most advanced methods of the above three categories. The simulation results of these three advanced methods are presented at a wide speed range and heavy load conditions. According to the comparison presented in this paper, guidance can be provided for researchers and engineers in selecting the torque control method for certain applications.

Modelling and Design for Position-Free Inductive Couplers with the Homogeneous-Flux Transmitting Coil in Wireless Power Transfer Systems
Authors: Dou Yi , Huang Xiaosheng , Ouyang Ziwei , Andersen Michael A. E.
Published: April 2023

This paper presents a design algorithm to combine the analytical magnetic flux modelling and the genetic algorithm (GA) for position-free inductive couplers in inductive power transfer (IPT) systems. The design concept can enhance the position tolerance significantly by making the transmitting coil generate a homogeneous flux density at the target receiving position. Based on the analytical magnetic flux models and the proposed design algorithm, the winding configurations for the air-core transmitting coils or magnetic shielded transmitter coils can be directly generated. Two case studies demonstrate the design algorithm: the analytical magnetic flux models and the generated homogeneous flux density are verified by 2D FEM simulation and measurement results. Furthermore, the non-interference for the inverters’/rectifiers’ operation with the position shift is experimentally verified on the 6.78 MHz prototypes.

Published: April 2023

Schools worldwide have started opening doors to welcome back students who, for almost two years, have been stuck studying at home. This study looks at the standpoint of Filipino students on going back to regular face-to-face schooling. There were 2,274 students of different tiers of education (high school, collegiate, graduate) from different major island groups of the Philippines (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) who participated in the study. The study used a mixed-method of descriptive statistics to present the quantitative data gathered and thematic analysis of qualitative responses from the subjects. The majority of all the respondents favored going back to the physical classroom, and little only favored staying using the distance mode. In the qualitative analysis, the recurring reasons of the students varied from personal, economic, and fear of getting the virus. It was concluded that Filipino students want to go back to schooling. Moreover, a sizeable amount preferred hybrid while a small number preferred to stay in online or distance mode. Educational institutions should always observe the covid 19 protocol when students go back.

Published: April 2023

The COVID pandemic led to the closure of educational institutions worldwide. In Mexico, the education system went into lockdown on March 16, 2021. With people unable to interact in the physical world, virtual spaces provided alternatives where emojis and other graphical representations were used to convey emotions. This research aimed to investigate the Facebook reactions of four generations (Baby boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Post-millennials) over three months: April, May, and June 2020. A mixed-method approach focused on a survey following an exploratory design was used to collect data. The data showed that participants had several reasons to click on emojis on Facebook during the COVID- 19 lockdown. Baby boomers used emojis the most and relied on Facebook to share information about the pandemic. While more work is necessary to understand the emoji phenomenon deeply, data revealed that the cave paintings we left on Facebook walls at the beginning of the year 2020 reflect the impact of COVID- 19 had on our lives.
