Solution of the boundary value problem for differential equation with piecewise-constant argument of generalized type
Authors: Assanova Anar
Published: September 2024

We examine a boundary value problem for a differential equation with  piecewise-constant argument of generalized type. An interval [0,T] is divided into N parts, the values of a solution at the interior points of the subintervals are treated as additional parameters, and boundary value problem for differential equation with piecewise-constant argument of generalized type is transformed to an equivalent initial value problems with parameters for  differential-algebraic equations on subintervals. Differential part of this problem contains of the Cauchy problems for ordinary differential equations on the subintervals. Algebraic part of this problem contains of the algebraic equations with respect to parameters  composed by boundary and continuity conditions at interior points of the partition.  The coefficients and right-hand sides of this system are determined by solving the Cauchy problems for ordinary differential equations on the subintervals. We demonstrate that the solvability of boundary value problems is equivalent to the solvability of the composed systems. We propose methods for solving boundary value problems based on the construction and solution of these systems.

El 1973, quan l’Editorial Joventut va publicar la tercera edició de la traducció de Josep Carner Alícia en terra de meravelles, que va editar per primera vegada el 1927 l’Editorial Mentora, Albert Manent hi va introduir unes 1.200 esmenes, sense que en quedés constància enlloc, amb la intenció de desbarroquitzar-la. L’article relaciona les traduccions carnerianes amb la política cultural i lingüística noucentista, exposa la visió de Manent sobre la llengua literària i com va afrontar la correcció i analitza les esmenes lèxiques no normatives més rellevants que estan relacionades amb la desbarroquització
La santedat femenina enfront del patriarcat: vides de «dones virtuoses» en el «Flos sanctorum»
Authors: Càmara-Sempere Hèctor
Published: September 2024

El Flos sanctorum, conegut també amb el nom de Legenda aurea, la versió originària de la qual va ser elaborada pel dominic Iacopo da Varazze al llarg de la segona meitat del segle XIII, és una recopilació de vides de sants i santes ordenades segons el calendari litúrgic romà. Molts d’aquests relats estan dedicats a dones virtuoses que, a causa de la seua fe i de les decisions que aquesta provoca sobre el seu cos i la seua existència, són martiritzades per hòmens que representen el poder masculí establert. La majoria d’aquestes narracions, especialment en el cas de les màrtirs dels primers segles del cristianisme, parteixen d’un esquema semblant que es basa en un enfrontament entre aquestes dones (que rebutgen el matrimoni, la maternitat, la invisibilitat social o l’analfabetisme guiades per una fe que les allibera) i aquelles figures masculines que volen sotmetre-les, com ara pares, germans, esposos o representants imperials. L’objectiu d’aquest treball és estudiar alguns dels casos d’aquest enfrontament a partir de les vides d’algunes de les santes més populars, com ara santa Àgueda, santa Bàrbara, santa Llúcia, santa Agnés, santa Margarida, etc., prenent com a base els textos que apareixen en la traducció catalana del Flos sanctorum.
Niñas mortíferas en la poesía latinoamericana y española de los noventa y dos mil
Authors: Garcia Faet Berta
Published: September 2024

En este artículo estudio una genealogía que poetas mujeres cuyos yoes líricos muestran rasgos de infantilidad, feminidad y pulsiones tanáticas. A modo de contraste, examino en primer lugar la poesía de varias autoras contemporáneas que, en vez de crear yoes líricos con energías “mortíferas”, erigen personajes con una disposición anímica optimista. En segundo lugar, me enfoco en la poesía de varias autoras cuyos yoes líricos se autoconstruyen como niñas “oscuras”, tanto latinoamericanas como españolas, y me pregunto por los rasgos formales y la posible lectura feminista de dicha “oscuridad”. Lo hago poniendo a dialogar a poetas clave del siglo XX (Marosa di Giorgio, Alejandra Pizarnik, Blanca Andreu y Pilar Pallarés) y del siglo XXI (María Castrejón, Begoña Callejón, Elena Medel, Alejandra del Río y Tilsa Otta). Analizo la naturaleza doble de su “oscuridad psicológica” apoyándome en la categoría filosófico-estética de lo “cute” (Sianne Ngai). Metodológicamente apuesto por combinar una estrategia de lectura atenta que hile las coincidencias en los tropos con una interpretación política que, desde el concepto de lo “cute”, disecciona las contradicciones internas que hay en los estereotipos que afectan a las niñas y a las mujeres “aniñadas”; estereotipos que estas escrituras líricas re- producen y, simultáneamente, subvierten.
El retorno de los objetos: historia, cultura material y acontecimientos políticos traumáticos
Authors: Martorell Linares Miguel
Published: September 2024

Desde principios de este siglo se han publicado numerosos libros o monografías en revistas académicas que abordan el estudio del pasado a partir de los objetos, un campo de trabajo que cuenta con una excelente salud editorial. La historia a través de los objetos, que apela a las disciplinas académicas volcadas en la cultura material, se ha revelado como una eficaz herramienta para la investigación histórica, para su divulgación, así como para el desempeño de las políticas de memoria. Aunque muestra tanta diversidad como posibles temas para abordar existan, es especialmente útil en la aproximación a los acontecimientos políticos traumáticos. El primer apartado de este artículo intenta comprender las razones que explican la eclosión de los objetos en el imaginario de los historiadores. El segundo aborda someramente cómo los especialistas en la cultura material explicaron en las últimas décadas del siglo pasado la compleja naturaleza de los objetos y nuestra relación con ellos. El tercero trata sobre el potencial de los objetos para ayudar a comprender, representar o explicar la violencia política traumática. El texto acaba con una coda final que repasa varias de las cuestiones que han ido surgiendo a lo largo de sus páginas y añade alguna última reflexión al respecto.
Irán 3037. Entrevista a la directora
Authors: Morant Giner Maria
Published: September 2024

En esta entrevista conversamos con Patricia Artés, la directora del proyecto teatral Irán #3037 [violencia político sexual en dictadura]. Esta propuesta pone el foco en la agresión sexual contra el cuerpo de la mujer como herramienta de tortura usada de forma sistemática por el terrorismo de Estado durante la dictadura de Pinochet. Esta iniciativa trata de un fenómeno complejo en el que la violencia machista, perpetuada y legitimada en el seno de una sociedad patriarcal, se entrecruza con las prácticas del terrorismo de Estado y se convierte en un instrumento de tortura con el que disciplinar a las mujeres que con su accionar trasgredieron los límites que socialmente les habían sido impuestos en función de su género. Esta iniciativa trata de visibilizar desde las tablas el uso en el pasado de esta violencia político sexual, problematizar su persistencia en el presente y reivindicar la necesidad de su reconocimiento como delito específico de género.
Charting Cultural Fluency: Leveraging Digital Story Maps for Language Proficiency in ESP Education
Authors: Rico-García Mercedes , Fielden Burns Laura V.
Published: September 2024

Cultural cartography as a way to understand the relationship between cultural manifestations and maps involves visual, symbolic and cognitive mechanisms of inquiry referring to the interpretation of territorial landscapes. The introduction of geo-computation techniques has enabled users to approach map-like visualizations of the world under different parameters. The design and interpretation of map symbology is crucial which according to Peirce (1994) is activated by forming a relationship between three distinct elements: signs, interpretants and objects.  In this light, the study aims to explore the usage of digital story maps to enhance students’ cultural and linguistic acquisition in a course of English for engineers in higher education.To cover the objective, the methodology comprises a two-phased didactic approach developed as a final course project within the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classroom. Divided into two groups, the instruction starts for the experimental and the control groups with a set of learning sessions analysing the theoretical framework underlying the semiotic process of map making and symbol interpretation. The second step for the experimental group involves the analysis and production of digital cartographic storytelling created by learners through collaborative team work, while the control group continues to analyse and then presents their conclusions about pre-existing maps to the rest of the class. The study demonstrates that the introduction of map-creation using a web-based mapping platform provided students with the ability to create geocoded narratives through visual representations, enhanced critical and spatial thinking and fostered the development of cultural and communication skills in a foreign language
Normativa europea per al desenvolupament de la competència digital en el marc de l'estratègia “Europa 2020-2030”
Authors: Deocano-Ruiz Yolanda , Alonso-Díaz Laura , Delicado-Puerto Gemma
Published: September 2024

Els canvis esdevinguts les darreres dècades relacionats amb la digitalització i el desenvolupament de competències han fet necessària l'aprovació d'una normativa reguladora per aconseguir que la ciutadania de la Unió Europea es perfili com a ciutadania competent. Per aquest motiu, i per democratitzar el desenvolupament de competències, i més encara la competència digital, la Comissió Europea ha liderat el desenvolupament de plans estratègics per a l'acció que han estat adaptats, per implementar-los, als països membres de la UE. En aquest sentit, el propòsit d'aquest estudi ha estat identificar i analitzar la normativa existent a la UE i a Espanya per conèixer els mecanismes de promoció de competències i escenaris digitals en el marc de l'Agenda 2030. La tècnica utilitzada ha estat el anàlisi de contingut, pròpia de la metodologia qualitativa. L'instrument per a la recollida i l'anàlisi de les dades ha estat una matriu descriptiva. Com a resultat, s'ha perfilat la normativa al respecte, identificant-ne la contribució a l'assoliment dels objectius de l'Agenda. Les conclusions posen de manifest com, tot i que hi ha nombrosos plans per a l'acció, són molts els objectius que encara queden per complir per assolir les metes definides a l'Agenda 2030 per a la digitalització dels territoris i les persones.
James Baldwin’s Hypothetical Novel: “Ignorant Armies” and the Making of Another Country
Authors: Bredie Nicholas
Published: September 2024

This article presents a genealogy of James Baldwin’s novel Another Country through a series of archival manuscripts dating from 1944. It argues that the nearly two-decades writing process informs a central theme of Another Country: the painful self-knowledge that comes from self-confrontation. The article offers this explanation to complement other contemporary interpretations of this theme of self-knowledge, particularly those of Mikko Tuhkanen and E. J. Martínez.
“The Level of a Confrontation”: Speech at San Francisco Masonic Temple
Authors: Baldwin James
Published: September 2024

During an overloaded and intense western tour for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), Baldwin spoke to an audience of over three thousand in the packed auditorium of the Masonic Temple on Mason Street in the Nob Hill section of San Francisco on May 7, 1963. The overwhelming size of the crowd at the Masonic Temple had delayed the start of Baldwin’s speech by an hour. Speaking that evening for a little over forty minutes, Baldwin delivered on his promise to script a confrontation between the worldview of his audiences and the fiercely present need for the country to change itself. To Baldwin this meant that his audiences must change themselves and, maybe even more profoundly, each other. The transcription below has been prepared by Ed Pavlić and Justin A. Joyce. Vocal emphasis has been captured with italics. Significant pauses, interruptions, and non-word interjections have been captured in editorial brackets.

Deep learning for rapid analysis of cell divisions in vivo during epithelial morphogenesis and repair
Authors: Turley Jake , Chenchiah Isaac V , Martin Paul , Liverpool Tanniemola B , Weavers Helen
Published: September 2024

Cell division is fundamental to all healthy tissue growth, as well as being rate-limiting in the tissue repair response to wounding and during cancer progression. However, the role that cell divisions play in tissue growth is a collective one, requiring the integration of many individual cell division events. It is particularly difficult to accurately detect and quantify multiple features of large numbers of cell divisions (including their spatio-temporal synchronicity and orientation) over extended periods of time. It would thus be advantageous to perform such analyses in an automated fashion, which can naturally be enabled using deep learning. Hence, we develop a pipeline of deep learning models that accurately identify dividing cells in time-lapse movies of epithelial tissues in vivo. Our pipeline also determines their axis of division orientation, as well as their shape changes before and after division. This strategy enables us to analyse the dynamic profile of cell divisions within the Drosophila pupal wing epithelium, both as it undergoes developmental morphogenesis and as it repairs following laser wounding. We show that the division axis is biased according to lines of tissue tension and that wounding triggers a synchronised (but not oriented) burst of cell divisions back from the leading edge.
A model based LSTM and graph convolutional network for stock trend prediction
Authors: Ran Xiangdong , Shan Zhiguang , Fan Yukang , Gao Lei
Published: September 2024

Stock market is a complex system characterized by collective activity, where interdependencies between stocks have a significant influence on stock price trends. It is widely believed that modeling these dependencies can improve the accuracy of stock trend prediction and enable investors to earn more stable profits. However, these dependencies are not directly observable and need to be analyzed from stock data. In this paper, we propose a model based on Long short-term memory (LSTM) and graph convolutional network to capture these dependencies for stock trend prediction. Specifically, an LSTM is employed to extract the stock features, with all hidden state outputs utilized to construct the graph nodes. Subsequently, Pearson correlation coefficient is used to organize the stock features into a graph structure. Finally, a graph convolutional network is applied to extract the relevant features for accurate stock trend prediction. Experiments based on China A50 stocks demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms baseline methods in terms of prediction performance and trading backtest returns. In trading backtest, we have identified a set of effective trading strategies as part of the trading plan. Based on China A50 stocks, our proposed model shows promising results in generating desirable returns during both upward and downward channels of the stock market. The proposed model has proven beneficial for investors to seeking optimal timing and pricing when dealing with shares.

Authors: Trofimova Ekaterina , Sataev Emil , Ustyuzhanin Andrey
Published: September 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of machine learning, seamless translation of natural language descriptions into executable code remains a formidable challenge. This article introduces Linguacodus, an innovative framework designed to tackle this challenge by deploying a dynamic pipeline that iteratively transforms natural language task descriptions into code through high-level data-shaping instructions. The core of Linguacodus is a fine-tuned large language model, empowered to evaluate diverse solutions for various problems and select the most fitting one for a given task. This article details the fine-tuning process and sheds light on how natural language descriptions can be translated into functional code. Linguacodus represents a substantial leap towards automated code generation, effectively bridging the gap between task descriptions and executable code. It holds great promise for advancing machine learning applications across diverse domains. Additionally, we propose an algorithm capable of transforming a natural description of an ML task into code with minimal human interaction. In extensive experiments on a vast machine learning code dataset originating from Kaggle, we showcase the effectiveness of Linguacodus. The investigations highlight its potential applications across diverse domains, emphasizing its impact on applied machine learning in various scientific fields.

Authors: Zhang Haopeng , Hashim Shahabuddin Bin , Huang Dandan , Zhang Bowen
Published: September 2024

Objective

The goal of the present research was to evaluate the effectiveness of physical exercise intervention in enhancing psychological well-being and decreasing symptoms of depression among college students, adopting a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methodology

The study was performed by searching four databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library) to determine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the impacts of physical exercise therapies among college students with symptoms of depression. The sequential execution of a meta-analyses, subgroup analyses, and publication bias analyses was accomplished utilizing the software package RevMan version 5.3.

Results

There were eight articles included. This research demonstrated a significant impact (d = −0.75, P < 0.05), indicating that physical exercise has a substantial impact on decreasing or mitigating depression. The subgroup analyses revealed that interventions involving physical exercise workouts lasting 12 weeks or longer (d = −0.93, P < 0.05), with physical exercise sessions lasting between 30 and 60 min (d = −0.77, P < 0.05), and with physical exercise performed minimum of three times a week (d = −0.90, P < 0.05) were the most effective in reducing symptoms of depression.

Conclusion

Physical exercise interventions have a beneficial impact on reducing depression among college students. The optimal mode was discovered to be college students participating in each session for a duration of 30 to 60 min, at least three times per week, and for more than 12 weeks. College students are encouraged to cultivate a consistent and long-term physical exercise routine to sustain their physical and mental health.

Published: September 2024

In a 22-weeks experiment, the impact and economic efficiency of feeding undeshelled defatted Moringa oleifera seed cake (UDMOSC) to Lohmann Brown layer chicks and pullets were investigated. The study had two phases, focusing on chicks (0-8 weeks) and pullets (9-22 weeks). A total of 150-day-old chicks were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 15% with Burgazyme inclusion), each replicated three times, and each replicate containing ten (10) birds in a completely randomised design. Data collected was subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the GenStat statistical package (2008). In the initial phase, chicks fed dietary UDMOSC consumed less feed but had similar (p ˃ 0.05) final body weight compared to the control group. Chicks fed the control, and 5% UDMOSC gained more weight with better feed conversion. Chicks fed 10% UDMOSC had higher mortality. In the second phase, pullets fed the control diet and 15% UDMOSC with the enzyme (UDMOSC15E) showed significantly higher (p = 0.01) feed intake. Final body weight and body weight gain were notably higher (p = 0.001) in pullets fed the control diet. Feed conversion ratio and mortality rate did not significantly differ (P ˃ 0.05) among treatments. Dietary UDMOSC reduced feed cost per kilogram of body weight gain for starters and pullets. While dietary UDMOSC did not significantly affect starter growth, it lowered total feed cost per bird for starters and pullets except for UDMOSC15E, accruing 20.54 – 27.81%. and 25.39 – 40.19% percentage profit range, respectively. Dietary UDMOSC depressed the growth of starters and pullets, but it was economically advantageous by reducing the cost per kilogram of body weight gain for both groups. The negative impact of dietary UDMOSC on the growth of starters and pullets suggests that including UDMOSC in the immature layer diets should be cautiously approached for economic gain and, therefore, recommended for the pullet stage at an inclusion level not exceeding 10%.

Agricultural entrepreneurship (AE) has been a viable development option promoted by Benin government. This study aims to analyze the institutional environment supporting AE with a focus on innovation within enterprises through laws, and implementation of programs and projects. The data was collected and analyzed using content analysis of documents such as program/project reports, narratives, decrees, orders, and policy documents from various ministries. The results indicate that the institutional framework of Benin did not place particular emphasis on supporting agricultural enterprises. Reforms were initiated lately in 2006 to provide specific support and ensure the emergence of small and medium-sized agricultural enterprises. Laws were enacted, and programs and projects were conducted during the implementation of the reforms. A thorough analysis of the actions regarding AE reveals that the government interventions primarily addressed components including the propensity to innovate and the practice of innovation of the agricultural enterprises. The propensity to innovate did not particularly interest the agricultural enterprises. Reflections led to the integration of the propensity to innovate into support actions because of the increasing failure rates of young agricultural enterprises. Support for innovation was not completed on one type of intervention. Building on the importance of the propensity to innovate, the capacity to innovate, and the practice of innovation, in entrepreneurial success, efforts should continue to be made to create a more favorable institutional environment. Policies will also aim to simultaneously target the three components of innovativeness to provide a better chance of survival for young AE. Case studies will help achieve this goal.

Nonfood-grade nonwoven polyethene (NFWP) bags which are frequently used in microwave cooking or carrying hot foods have been reported for releasing large amount of nanoplastics. Hence, the present study was designed to investigate the harmful effects of nanoplastics released from NFWP bags on mice. NFWP bags were cut into small pieces which were then boiled in water for 5 minutes. Then the boiled water was used as nanoplastic-contaminated drinking water for treated mice for 50 days. Surprisingly, the body weights and organ weight were increased remarkably for treated mice than control mice. The total Red Blood Cell (RBC) count decreased remarkably while total WBC count increased significantly in treated mice than in control. The percentage of neutrophils decreased remarkably while percentage of Monocytes increased significantly in treated mice as compared with control. The consumption of nanoplastics caused histological damage to intestine, heart, lung, kidney and liver of treated mice. The layers of intestinal muscles in the villi of treated mice were disrupted and infiltrated with foam cells.  Destruction of alveoli and fibrosis was observed in the lungs of the treated mice. The heart muscles of treated mice were also disrupted and irregularly arranged with fibrosis. In the kidney of treated mouse, enhancement of renal spaces, shrinkage of glomeruli, eroded Bowman’s capsule, deleted and congested glomeruli along with blood vessel were found. The liver of the treated mice was affected by apoptosis, fibrosis, vacuole formation in hepatocyte, congested in hepatic tissue and dilation of blood vessel. Therefore, it can be concluded that consumption of nanoplastics released from hot NFWP bags has serious deleterious effect on haematopoiesis and tissue integrity of different organs of Mice.

Aims: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and Behçet's disease (BD) are both chronic inflammatory diseases of unknown etiology. It is thought that the development of both diseases is related to several factors such as environmental, genetic predisposition and oxidative stress. To control the flow of reactive oxygen species, aerobic cells have developed their own enzymatic and non-enzymatic defence system. The enzymatic ones are superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase, non-enzymatic reduced glutathione (GSH). It is aimed to investigate the superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, catalase and reduced glutathione levels in patients with AS and BD in this study.
Study Design:  This study consisted of the 34 patients with AS and 24 patients with BD and 20 healthy control subjects who applied to Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine Departments of Rheumatology and Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Patients with haematological and other autoimmune diseases were excluded from the study.
Place and Duration of Study: Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine Departments of Rheumatology and Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Arts & Science Faculty, Department of Chemistry (Biochemistry Division), Adana, Turkey between September 2022 and August 2024.
Methodology: In this study, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were determined by spectrometric methods for both groups and their values were compared with IBM SPSS 20 software.
Results: The median age was 46.34 in the Ankylosing spondylitis group and 38.50 in the Behçet's disease group, and 42.55 in healthy control group. 64.7% of the Ankylosing Spondylitis group, 62.5% of the Behçet's disease group and healthy control group 50% were male. While the SOD and MDA levels were found significantly higher in both groups according to control group, GSH and catalase levels were found to be lower and statistically significant in both groups compared to the control group.
Conclusion: We strongly recommend the inclusion of high-potential antioxidants that will strengthen the antioxidant defense mechanism and reduce peroxidation as a supportive medical therapy to patients with both diseases, especially for the patients with AS.
