Authors: Stec Bronisław , Dobrowolski Andrzej , Susek Waldemar
Published: April 2024

Stochastic analysis of modulation microwave radiometers with square - law and linear detectors is presented in the paper. Assuming ideal detector characteristics it is shown that in typical applications, i.e., in very low power measurements, a type of detector used is of no influence on total radiometer sensitivity. Other aspects of use of a particular detector are also presented.

Finally, methods of silicon production for electronics purposes are briefly addressed.
Labeling of signals in optical networks and its applications
Authors: Borzycki Krzysztof
Published: April 2024

The paper is a review and comparative analysis of most common techniques proposed to attach additional data or identification information to digital signals in optical fiber networks by purely optical means. Such ``labels`` or ``headers`` can be attached either to continuous bit streams, e.g., in SDH networks or to optical packets. They enable to monitor, route and identify signals in transparent optical networks, especially those with optical wavelength multiplexing, allow management and supervision of remote optical amplifiers and can be used in optical switching systems. Other applications of this relatively unknown technology include monitoring of optical path dispersion, equalization of channels in DWDM systems and detection of intrusion or jamming in highly secure networks.

Authors: Durov Sergiy , Mironov Oleg A. , Myronov Maksym , Whall Terence E. , Hackbarth Thomas , Hoeck Georg , Herzog Hans-Joest , Konig Ulf , Kanel Hans von
Published: April 2024

Measurements of current drive in p-Si1-xGex MOSFETs, with x = 0.7, 0.8 reveal an enhancement ratio of over 2 times as compared to a Si device at an effective channel length of 0.55 um. They also show a lower knee voltage in the output I-V characteristics while retaining similar values of drain induced barrier lowering, subthreshold swing, and off current for devices with a Sb punch-through stopper. For the first time, we have quantitatively explained the low-frequency noise reduction in metamorphic, high Ge content, SiGe PMOSFETs compared to Si PMOSFETs.

Authors: Sikora Andrzej , Sankowska Anna , Gotszalk Teodor Paweł
Published: April 2024

In view of the rapid growth of interest in AFM technique in surface property investigation and local surface modification we describe here an AFM microscope with optical tip oscillation detection. The modular shear-force/tunneling microscope for surface topography measurement and nanoanodisation is described. The measurement instrument presented here is based on the fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer for the measurement of the conductive microtip oscillation that is used as nano e-beam for local surface anodisation. An advantage of this system is that quatitative measurements of tip vibration amplitude are easily performed.
FDTD analysis of magnetized plasma using an equivalent lumped circuit
Authors: Moryc Artur
Published: April 2024

The paper describes a new approach to electromagnetic analysis of magnetized plasma using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. An equivalent lumped circuit describing an FDTD cell filled with plasma is developed and applied in the analysis. Such a method is proved more effective than previously reported methods. The new approach is verified on a canonical example of known analytical solution.
A broadband multistate interferometer for impedance measurement
Authors: Szymański Piotr
Published: April 2024

We present a new four-state interferometer for measuring vectorial reflection coefficient from 50 to 1800 MHz. The interferometer is composed of a four-state phase shifter, a double-directional coupler and a spectrum analyzer with an in-built tracking generator. We describe a design of the interferometer and methods developed for its calibration and de-embedding the measurements. Experimental data verify good accuracy of the impedance measurement.
The Kummer confluent hypergeometric function and some of its applications in the theory of azimuthally magnetized circular ferrite waveguides
Authors: Georgi Nikolov Georgiev  , GeorgievaGrosse Mariana Nikolova
Published: April 2024

Examples of the application of the confluent hypergeometric functions in miscellaneous areas of the theoretical physics are presented. It is suggested these functions to be utilized as a universal means for solution of a large number of problems, leading to: cylindrical, incomplete gamma, Coulomb wave, Airy, Kelvin, Bateman, Weber’s parabolic cylinder, logarithmic-integral and exponential integral functions, generalized Laguerre, Poisson-Charlier and Hermit polynomials, integral sine and cosine, Fresnel and probability integrals, etc. (whose complete list is given), which are their special cases. The employment of such an approach would permit to develop general methods for integration of these tasks, to generalize results of different directions of physics and to find the common features of various phenomena, governed by equations, pertaining to the same family. Emphasis is placed here on the use of the Kummer function in the field of microwaves: the cases of normal and slow rotationally symmetric TE modes propagation in the azimuthally magnetized circular ferrite waveguide are considered. Lemmas on the properties of the argument, real and imaginary parts, and positive purely imaginary (real) zeros of the function mentioned in the complex (real) domain, of importance in the solution of boundary-value problem stated for normal (slow) waves, are substantiated analytically or numerically. A theorem for the identity of positive purely imaginary and real zeros of the complex respectively real Kummer function for certain parameters, is proved numerically. Tables and graphs support the results established. The terms for wave transmission are obtained as four bilaterally open intervals of variation of the quantities, specifying the fields. It turns out that the normal (slow) modes may exist in one (two) region(s). The theoretically predicted phase curves for the first waves of the two TE sets examined show that the structure explored is suitable for ferrite control components design.
Optimization approach with ρ-proximal convexification for Internet traffic control
Authors: Kozakiewicz Adam
Published: April 2024

The optimization flow control algorithm for traffic control in computer networks, introduced by Steven H. Low, works only for concave utility functions. This assumption is rather optimistic and leads to several problems, especially with streaming applications. In an earlier paper we introduced a modification of the algorithm based on the idea of proximal convexification. In this paper we extend this approach, replacing the proximal method with the ρ-proximal method. The new method mixes the quadratic proximal term with higher-order terms, achieving better results. The algorithms are compared in a simple numerical experiment.
On the performance analysis of a heuristic approach dedicated to a multiobjective dynamic routing model
Authors: Craveirinha José , Martins Lucia , Clímaco Joao N. , Jorge Luísa
Published: April 2024

In previous works the features and a complete formulation for circuit-switched networks of a multiple objective dynamic routing method (MODR) of periodic state dependent routing type were presented. The aim of the model is to resolve a very complex network bi-objective dynamic routing problem, by recurring to a heuristic for synchronous path selection enabling to obtain a good compromise solution in terms of two network performance measures. In this paper we present a study on the performance of variants of the MODR heuristic of synchronous path selection by using relaxations of the values previously calculated for the two network objective functions. This study permitted the development of an improved version of the initial heuristic. Also a comparison of the analytical values of the network objective functions obtained with selected variants of the initial heuristic with the corresponding results from a known reference method, the real time network routing (RTNR) method, given by a discrete-event simulator for single-service networks, is presented.
Telecommunications, multiple criteria analysis and knowledge theory
Authors: Wierzbicki Andrzej Piotr
Published: April 2024

Telecommunications requires multiple criteria analysis and decision support. It is shown how some basic facts from telecommunications and informational sciences can be used to formulate a rational theory of intuition, developed as a complement of multiple criteria decision support. This paper presents a method called creative space used for integrating various approaches to knowledge creation and based on SECI spiral, I5 system and rational theory of intuition. Questions of supporting new technology creation by constructing specialized creative environments similar to decision support environments are also indicated.

Remote medical education via Internet enhanced services – the REMEDIES platform for distant training
Authors: Pragmatefteli Maria , Haritou Maria , Giokas Kostas , Dalamagkidis Eyfthimios
Published: April 2024

Continuing medical education is considered as a very important aspect in the development of skills of practicing physicians and the introduction of new concepts and developments in health care provision. Studies have shown that conventional CME techniques including self-studying and lecture attending have limited impact on clinical practices. The world wide web provides a very efficient and cost-effective delivery system for conveying anywhere and anytime multimedia information to large user groups. Although there are a number of CME web sites available today, the majority of them are static and text-based thus not offering interactive functionality and multiple content. To exploit modern telematics technologies and within the framework of the Leonardo da Vinci programme, the REMEDIES project developed an interactive web-based distance-training infrastructure. The REMEDIES system incorporates two training modules – a web-based training platform and a teleconference training platform. The system has been validated in terms of technical performance and user functionality in a controlled target group comprising of young medical doctors and medical students in the specific areas of radiology and laparoscopic surgery. The results of the trial have demonstrated the compliance of the system to the defined functional requirements and the potential usefulness to the defined training goals. Trial results have also demonstrated the need of extension of the educational material within the platform especially for the purposes of continuous education.
Psychological implications of the application of health state continuous monitoring systems in cardiovascular pathologies
Authors: Ortu Francesca , Andreassi Silvia
Published: April 2024

In recent years, specialist literature has particularly focused on the understanding of the modes of psychological adaptation to organic pathologies. A number of close investigations within the fields of medical and health psychology have been devoted to the analysis of situations characterised by a state of chronicity of organic pathology. Relying on the data deriving from such studies, the different authors tend to point out that illnesses represent a threat to the subject’s psychophysical and relational integrity, thus constituting as a source of frustration and anxiety. Researchers belonging to different theoretical approaches raise a number of questions as to the role of personality and/or the subjective mode to react to tough, stressful, unexpected, negative situations, such as the emergence of a severe physical illness. Current research approaches essentially intend to explain the individual differences in the reactivity to negative stimuli by analysing the interactions between situational attributes and personality dispositions (for instance, trait anxiety).
A web-based system for personalized patient education and compliance monitoring
Authors: Pavlopoulos Sotiris , Prentza Andriana , Marinos Efstathios
Published: April 2024

The economic importance of therapy compliance has grown steadily in recent years, not only because of the efficacy of newer therapeutic methods but also because of the increased costs of treating the consequences of poor compliance. Improved compliance can lead to significant savings by preserving or restoring a patient’s health, improving quality of life, by reducing the number of medical services required when therapy fails or appears ineffective, and by helping limit the rise in national health care costs. Within the framework of the TEN-Telecom European Commission Programme, C-Monitor project developed an integrated health telematics platform to enhance chronic patient compliance to therapy and interactive communication with their attending physicians. The overall aim of the project was to study the potential benefits, both in clinical and financial aspects, of such innovative systems and services along cost-efficiency of care provision. The platform developed has been validated in controlled small-scale trials in a number of European countries. The Greek pilot involved installation of the system in a private hospital in Athens and the validation scenario dealt with morbid obesity patients that have undergone surgical operation. A number of 30 patients were recruited for the trial. Results of the trial indicated the technological robustness of the proposed system and the potential clinical and economic benefits of running such services. Further trials are required to better address cost-efficiency issues with respects to the service goals.

Authors: Tsiknakis Manolis , Katehakis Dimitrios G. , Sfakianakis Stelios G. , Kavlentakis Georgios , Orphanoudakis Stelios C.
Published: April 2024

A fundamental pre-requisite for the establishment of a scaleable regional health information network (RHIN) is the development of an architectural framework and tools for the integration of specialized autonomous systems and e-health service platforms supported by an underlying health information infrastructure (HII). In this context, HYGEIAnet, which is the RHIN of Crete in Greece, has identified and utilized a number of critical software components enabling integrated access to clinically significant information, based on an open architecture addressing successfully the various interoperability challenges at hand. HYGEIAnet provides the framework for the reuse of standardized common components and public interfaces, thus enabling integrated and personalized delivery of healthcare.
Exact pairwise error probability analysis of space-time codes in spatially correlated fading channels
Authors: Lamahewa Tharaka A. , Simon Marvin K. , Abhayapala Thushara D. , Kennedy Rodney A.
Published: April 2024

In this paper, we derive an analytical expression for the exact pairwise error probability (PEP) of a space-time coded system operating over a spatially correlated slow fading channel using a moment-generating function-based approach. This analytical PEP expression is more realistic than previously published exact-PEP expressions as it fully accounts for antenna spacing, antenna geometries (uniform linear array, uniform grid array, uniform circular array, etc.) and scattering models (uniform, Gaussian, Laplacian, Von-Mises, etc.). Inclusion of spatial information provides valuable insights into the physical factors determining the performance of a space-time code. We demonstrate the strength of our new analytical PEP expression by evaluating the performance of two space-time trellis codes proposed in the literature for different spatial scenarios.

The title of this paper is a tribute to David Penny’s ability to cross borders: biology, mathematics, philosophy of science, history ... and the list goes on. The unknown for most people is exciting but fraught with fears. David it seems, is fearless; the unknown for him is the place to search for, until the territory is mapped, and then new unknown areas beckon. David has some good tools in his backpack to assist in his travels: curiosity, enthusiasm, intelligence, and an incredible stamina.

Tensile Transformation: bridging the gaps in large scale 3d printing.
Authors:   , Lundon Moore Eliot
Published: April 2024

This research pioneers a novel technique for large-scale 3D printing, combining the use of cold-uncoiling plasma-bonded filaments and a digitally-controlled end effector on a robotic arm. The study revolves around the design, development and evaluation of a unique end effector capable of executing automated operations such as filament uncoiling plasma application and crimping. This forms the basis for the construction of spatial 3D printed tensile structures. The comparative analysis highlights substantial enhancements in both speed and efficiency of production relative to traditional manufacturing methods, such as hot end extrusion. While other large-scale printing systems exist, they often fail to match the pace and versatility offered by this innovative approach. As such, this research not only expands the boundaries of additive manufacturing technology but also underlines the immense potential for its practical application across diverse sectors.
Pět přístupů k etice sexuality? Důsledky asymetrického argumentu Davida Benatara pro etiku pohlavního chování
Authors: Koumar Jan
Published: April 2024

Tato práce se zabývá možnými přístupy k etice sexuality, jejich klady i zápory. Etikou sexuality zde není míněno moralizování, stejně tak sexualitou není míněn pouze koitus, pohlavní chování je zde míněno v širším významu tedy včetně rozlehlé oblasti lidského svádění, okolků či otálení. Popsány jsou čtyři klasické přístupy k etice sexuality: tradicionalistický, romantický, marxisticko-feministický a liberální, avšak uvážen je i přístup antinatalistický, který vyplývá z asymetrického argumentu Davida Benatara uveřejněného v jeho práci Nebýt či být. Benatarův antinatalizmus totiž vytváří etiku pohlavního chování, v níž pouze sex, který nevede k rozmnožení, může být morální. I když je tento pátý, antinatalistický přístup značně kontroverzní a zdaleka ne intuitivní, extrémnost jeho pozic se příliš neliší od tradicionalistického pohledu, v němž je morální pouze sex k rozmnožení vedoucí, tyto dva přístupy tak lze postavit do přímé opozice jako dvě krajní možnosti uvažování o etice pohlavního chování. Roli střední cesty v takovém řazení potom zaujme liberální přístup, který jako jediný etiku sexuality nevidí jako etiku odlišnou od jiných lidských činností.
Apel na sobeckost nebo na rozumnost? Případová analýza s využitím Toulminova modelu argumentu
Authors: Ondráček Tomáš
Published: April 2024

Příspěvek se zaobírá Toulminovým přístupem k argumentaci. Hlavním cílem je přitom představit tento přístup a ukázat jeho aplikaci na vybraném materiálu. Klíčová otázka poté zní: V čem je Toulminův přístup stále aktuální a co může při zkoumání argumentů přinést? Cíle i odpovědi na otázku je dosahováno ve dvou základních krocích. V prvním kroku je probrána teorie argumentu, jak ji Toulmin prezentuje především ve své knize The Uses of Argument. Ve druhém kroku je pak Toulminův přístup aplikován na vybraný materiál, konkrétně na videospot Přemluv bábu (2010). Pozornost je přitom věnována zejména modelu argumentu, doménové závislosti, logickým typům a druhům argumentu. V příspěvku je nakonec ukázáno, že Toulmin je stále diskutovaný a teoreticky podnětný, a také to, že jeho aplikace na vybraný materiál může poskytnout dobrá vodítka pro hodnocení tohoto materiálu i v případech, kdy toto hodnocení není možné udělat jednoznačně pomocí formálních nástrojů.
Heidegger v Americe
Authors: Švec Ondřej
Published: April 2024

Článek je věnován odůvodnění, projasnění a také kritickému zhodnocení poněkud zkratkovitého hesla o „primátu praxe“, který v očích mnoha amerických interpretů představuje společného jmenovatele Heideggerova díla a pragmatismu v širokém slova smyslu. V mém podání nesměřuje Heideggerův důraz na praxi ani tak k převrácení tradiční hierarchie, podle níž svět nejprve poznáváme, abychom v něm mohli jednat, ale spíše k přehodnocení ontologického rámce, v němž byla otázka ohledně přednosti teorie či praxe až dosud kladena. V druhé části proto ukážu, jak Heideggerovo osobité pojetí praxe souvisí s jeho revizí bytí věcí a nás samotných, a podám důvody, proč na rozdíl od Dreyfusova, Okrentova a Blattnerova vymezení primátu praxe odmítám chápat veškerou srozumitelnost lidského života a světa jako něco odvozeného z našeho každodenního, praktického obstarávání.
Baz, Avner: When Words Are Called For A Defense of Ordinary Language Philosophy,
Authors: Tomeček Marek
Published: April 2024

Bazův projekt je výzvou pro současnou epistemologii. Ve svém vzkříšení filozofické metody J. L. Austina a pozdního Wittgensteina se snaží podat alternativu k dnešnímu přístupu založenému na intuicích filozofů. Tradiční argumenty proti filozofii běžného jazyka jsou ukázány jako nedostatečné: stojí na nepochopení toho, co pro autory poloviny dvacátého století znamená „použití“ slova a „význam“ slova. Při aplikaci na dnešní epistemologické příklady a dilemata se tato ukazují jako špatně sestavená, dokonce i ve své nejmírnější, kontextualistické verzi. Zároveň se však Bazův přístup svou radikálností dostává do prekérního vztahu k empiristické tradici.
Two Series of Time in Logic, Natural Language, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Rybaříková Zuzana
Published: April 2024

J. M. E. McTaggart famously divided time into two time series, which he entitled A-series and B-series. Although he was proponent of neither of them, his division initiated a discussion as to which of the series is prior or real. This paper follows Clifford Williams’s claim that these series are not as distant as their proponents argue they are. It demonstrates their translatability in the case of examples from temporal logic and natural language. It argues that, if there are any deep-rooted differences between these two series, they are only metaphysical. These metaphysical differences could be overcome by focusing on logic or natural language. These two series of time are also used in computer science and in the development of Artificial Intelligence. However, no attempt at unifying them has been suggested in these fields of study. 

J. M. E. McTaggart rozdělil čas na dvě časové série, A-série a B-série. Třebaže nebyl zastáncem žádné z nich, jeho rozdělení podnítilo diskuzi, která z těchto časových sérií je přednější nebo jediná skutečně reálná. Tento článek navazuje na názor Clifforda Williamse, že tyto časové série nejsou tak rozdílné, jak tvrdí jejich zastánci. V článku je demonstrována jejich přeložitelnost na příkladech z temporální logiky a přirozeného jazyka. Článek dále tvrdí, že jestliže je zde nějaký hluboce zakořeněný rozdíl mezi těmito dvěma sériemi, pak je pouze metafyzický. Tyto metafyzické rozdíly mohou být překonány, zaměříme-li se na logiku a přirozený jazyk. Tyto dvě časové série jsou také použity v informatice a rozvoji umělé inteligence, třebaže v těchto oborech dosud nebyly navrženy žádné pokusy o jejich propojení.
Explanandum teorie vědomí: marné hledání konsenzu?
Authors: Marvan Tomáš
Published: April 2024

Text kriticky hodnotí tvrzení o pojmu fenomenálního vědomí, která jsou obsažena v šesté kapitole knihy Tomáše Hříbka Jaké to je, nebo o čem to je? Mým východiskem je teze Erica Schwitzgebela, že fenomenální vědomí můžeme definovat natolik neutrálně a minimalisticky, že se na jeho existenci mohou shodnout i teoretikové vědomí z velmi rozdílných táborů. Hříbek tento názor nesdílí, snažím se ale ukázat, že na základě lichých argumentů. Značnou pozornost v textu věnuji názorům Daniela Dennetta na podstatu vědomí, především pak „iluzionismu“ jakožto teorii vědomí. Ten pokládám za teorii se značně nejasným obsahem a navrhuji, aby se o něm ve filozofii vědomí vedly soustředěné diskuze.

Published: April 2024

Ikan nila (Oreochromis niloticus) merupakan salah satu ikan air tawar yang mudah untuk dipelihara, pertumbuhannya relatif cepat. Selain itu menjadi favorit konsumen dikarenakan dagingnya yang tebal dan rasanya yang enak. Salah satu teknologi yang dapat dijadikan altenatif yaitu teknologi bioflok dikarenakan mampu meminimalisir penggunaan lahan dan meningkatkan kualitas air serta meningkatkan pemanfaatan nutrisi. Probiotik yang mengandung mikroorganisme bisa diberikan lewat pakan maupun air sebagai medianya. Suprapto et al., (2013), mengemukakan pendapat yaitu dalam penggunaan probiotik di lingkungan untuk bioremediasi dapat meningkatkan kualitas air dan mengurai bahan organik.

Navigating Neurodegenerative Disorders: A Comprehensive Review of Current and Emerging Therapies for Neurodegenerative Disorders
Authors: Shashikant Kharat , Sanjana Mali , Gayatri Korade , Rakhi Gaykar
Published: April 2024

Neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs) pose a significant global health challenge, impacting millions with a gradual decline in neurons and cognitive abilities. Presently, available NDD therapies focus on symptom management rather than altering the disease trajectory. This underscores the critical necessity for groundbreaking treatments capable of addressing the root causes of neurodegeneration, offering both neuroprotection and neuro-restoration. This in-depth review delves into the forefront of emerging NDD therapies, encompassing gene therapy, stem cell therapy, immunotherapy, and neurotrophic factors. It sheds light on their potential advantages, hurdles, and recent advancements gleaned from both preclinical and clinical studies. Additionally, the document outlines existing NDD treatments, spanning pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, along with their inherent limitations. The overarching conclusion emphasizes the immense potential of emerging therapies in NDD treatment, yet underscores the imperative for continued research and optimization to ensure their safety, efficacy, and specificity.

Linguistic profiles of hidden communities: A morphosyntactic aspect
Authors: Mamaev Ivan Dmitrievich
Published: April 2024

The aim of the research is to identify quantitative regularities in the functioning of morphosyntactic parameters in the texts by users of hidden online communities. Through statistical methods, the paper attempts to confirm the “cohesion” of the main morphosyntactic features, the information about which was obtained using the Profiling-UD linguistic processor. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the following: based on a corpus of Russian-language social media texts, an experiment is conducted on the correlation analysis of morphosyntactic characteristics, which could become part of the future linguistic profile of hidden communities. Such profiles could be used in modern social media to enhance the functionality of recommendation systems. As a result, the research found that significant positive correlations with moderate statistical significance were identified for over 55% of hidden communities. By applying the proposed methodology, the linguistic profile of hidden communities can be further expanded with syntactic and lexical parameters, allowing for cluster analysis of communities and identification of the homogeneity/heterogeneity of the use of the characteristics across different linguistic levels in user posts from hidden communities.

This research is motivated by the low ability to understand mathematical concepts and the honest character of students. One alternative learning model that can be applied is Problem-Based Learning with Islamic nuances. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in the ability to understand mathematical concepts and the honest character of students who studied with the Islamic-nuanced Problem-Based Learning model and students who studied with the contextual nuanced Problem-Based Learning model, as well as to find out the criteria for the value of students' honesty after participating in Problem-Based Learning with Islamic nuances. The method used is a quasi-experimental method with the Nonequivalent Control Group Design research design. This research was conducted at MTs Al-Huda Rancaekek. The population in this study were all students in class VII MTs Al-Huda Rancaekek, the sample in this study were students in class VII-A as the experimental class and students in class VII-B as the control class. The experimental class learns using the Problem-Based Learning model with Islamic nuances, the control class learns using Problem-Based Learning with contextual nuances. The instruments used were tests of ability to understand mathematical concepts, honest character observations, and self-assessment questionnaires. Based on the results of the Mann-Whitney test analysis, observation analysis, and self-assessment questionnaire analysis, it was concluded that there were differences in the understanding of mathematical concepts of students who studied with Problem-Based Learning with Islamic nuances and students who studied with Problem-Based Learning with contextual nuances. The criteria for the value of honest character attitudes of students after participating in Problem-Based Learning with Islamic nuances are in the MB criteria (starting to develop).  Keywords: Problem-Based Learning with Islamic Nuances, Ability to Understand Mathematical Concepts, and Honest Character.
