Infected/affected: Theorizing affective contagion with Deleuze
Authors: Markelj Jernej
Published: February 2022

Building on Deleuze’s materialist philosophical lineage, the article will seek to excavate different accounts of virality of affect. By focusing on the affective flows that are involuntarily transmitted between encountering bodies, thus breaking down their boundaries and compromising their supposed unity, our analysis will examine a variety of contagious affects ranging from compassion to paranoia. In addition to theorizing their contagious nature, these affective states will be considered from the perspective of Deleuzian ethics and politics.
The depressed twenties
Authors: Reberc Ana
Published: February 2022

The article focuses on the alienation of the human being, which is progressively becoming more and more fatal in capitalist society, which is reflected in human consciousness as well. Adorno wrote in 1950 that the mechanism of the subject’s adaptation to aggravated relations is the mechanism of its hardening. The more we conform to capitalist realism, the more we become a thing, the less we live and are at the mercy of the nothingness of depression. With the help of Mark Fisher, we will try to imagine depression as a socially situated response to reality and in this re-conceptualization we will look for ways of our emancipation.
Our little clinic
Authors: Hrvatin Varja , Buh Maša Radi , Ribič Jakob
Published: February 2022

The text critically tackles the prevailing ideology, which convinces us that mental health problems are a matter of the individual (everyone must take care of themselves!), not the society in which one is situated in; the ideology which does not question the predominant forms of work in capitalism. In art professions it is characteristic to work in ways which cause the most stress and psychological distress (constant flexibility, mobility, precariousness, permanent instability, troubles in balancing work and life). The artist seems to be the ideal modern worker. The main thread of interest in the article is whether there is a correlation between the level of mental distress and the predominant forms of the specific work of the artist, not related to the nature of his work (vulnerability, working with one’s emotions, connections with the intimate) but social, economic and ideological context in which his work takes place.
Negative psychoanalysis for anxia corda
Authors: Reshe Julie
Published: February 2022

Conventional psychology is positively oriented (+). This orientation leads to the stigmatization of negative aspects of human existence. A course along which psychoanalysis and philosophy, especially existential philosophy is, in opposition to the course of conventional psychology, negative (−). Already Lucretius stated that a person has an anxious heart (anxia corda), which can’t be healed. Existential philosophy recognized anxiety as the core of human existence. Their perspective is inverted in comparison to the perspective of conventional psychology, which posits normality and happiness at the heart of a person, and views anxiety as an optional and undesirable deviation from this centre. Due to their negative orientation psychoanalysis and existentialism can better comprehend humans, particularly their constitutive tragic dimension.
Symptom as event of the (dancing) body
Authors: Smrekar Eva
Published: February 2022

At the end of the nineteenth century, the French school of modern neurology together with its leading representative Jean-Martin Charcot (1825–93) carried out controversial clinical studies on hysteria at the Salpêtrière Hospital, including the famed weekly public demonstrations of female hysterics, which had a profound influence on the development of modern performing practices and the discourse of their critical reception. The text thus focuses especially on the constitution of modern hysteria as a historical continuation of the alternative dance history of the ancient and Middle Ages writings on dancing mania and the dancing plague. But it also tries to analyse the inherent interconnectedness of performance and madness through the archival prism of pathological choreography and the politics of the modern body.
Echoing choreographies
Authors: Strelkin Ivan
Published: February 2022

The article discusses the problem of spectatorship in relation to dance. Observing connections between a choreography and spectators’ responses to it, the author points the reader’s attention to the phenomenon of re-performing and introduces the concept of an echoing choreography – a choreography that is re-performed by its spectators without explicit collaboration with its creator. Articulating the special role of internet video hostings and social networks in the process of content reproduction and spreading, the author juxtaposes the phenomena of memes and challenges with the artistic practices of reenactment in professional dance.

Authors: Sameh Abdelrahman , Kama Mahmoud , Taher Ahmed , Aboelsoud Walid
Published: February 2022

Biological safety cabinets (BSC) are devices that are widely used by microbiologists and pharmacists when handling biohazardous materials. A safe working environment shall be achieved while using such devices. However, the safety of the BSC operators is compromised as these devices are very sensitive to the air pattern surrounding them. Isolating the interior area of the BSC from the surroundings using an air curtain at the front of the BSC was simulated using a 3D numerical model. The air used as an air curtain was drawn from the breathing zone of the operator to decrease the probability of any contaminant escape from the inside of the device towards the face of the operator. This numerical study was done simulating the dimensions, air velocities, air pressures of an actual 4-foot BSC class II type A2. The air curtain modification was added to the numerical model to compare the safety performance enhancement before and after adding the air curtain. To calculate the performance enhancement in the numerical study 1x10^5 particles were discharged from the supply HEPA filter and were traced at the breathing zone of the operator where the BSC after modification showed 16.32 % decrease in the number of the traced particles

Human Dignity and a Dignified Standard of Living: The Judgment of the Court of Justice in the Case of Zubair Haqbin (C233/18)
Authors: Zwaan Karin
Published: February 2022

Directive 2013/33/EU (the Reception Conditions Directive) lays down the reception conditions that should be granted to asylum seekers and also their rights of documentation, to education and to access to the labour market and health care. In the judgment of the Court of Justice of 12 November 2019 in Case C233/18 concerning Zubair Haqbin, the Court of Justice holds that the withdrawal – even if only temporary – of the full set of material reception conditions or of material reception conditions relating to housing, food or clothing would be irreconcilable with the requirement to ensure a dignified standard of living for Mr Haqbin. After all, such a sanction deprives him from being allowed to meet his most basic needs.

The study proposes an algorithm for calculating of appreciable permeability coefficients for multicellular structures in a cryoprotectant medium using physical and mathematical model of mass transfer. The values of surface-area-to-volume ratio for L929 cells at different temperatures were determined and the thermal expansion coefficient of the surface area of cell membranes was calculated (β = 2.7 × 10-3 /°C). The osmotically inactive volume for L929 cells and their spheroids was determined. Filtration and permeability coefficients to DMSO for L929 cells and in toto spheroids were found from the dynamic curves of relative volume change. The calculated parameters are the highest for individual cells and significantly (p <0.05) decrease for cells in the spheroids with increasing depth of their location, this reduction may be stipulated by a decrease in the available surface of cells in the spheroids for the penetration of extracellular substances. Obtained in this research permeability characteristics of spheroids can be used to develop optimal cryopreservation regimens for them.

Morphological characteristics and function of ovarian tissue after 2–120 hrs of storage at 4 and 37°C in incubation media with different composition (mannitol-containing solution (MСS) and phosphate buffered saline (PBS)) were investigated. The function of ovarian tissue after normo- and hypothermic storage was studied by heterotopic transplantation to recipient animals simultaneously with bilateral ovariectomy. After 2-hour storage at 37ºC and 24-hour one at 4ºC in all the studied media, the estradiol and progesterone levels in plasma of recipient animals were experimentally proved to be 18.2–27.5 and 13.5–18.5 ng/ml, respectively, (after fresh tissue transplantation these values for estradiol and progesterone made (28.1 ± 3.6) pg/ml and (19.1 ± 2.8) ng/ml, respectively). Prolongation of tissue storage time at 37ºC increased the number of degenerative follicles, augmented TBARS concentration and reduced sex hormone levels after transplantation using both MCS and PBS. A protective effect of MCS only, manifested in endocrine function restoration in recipient animals after transplantation ((13.5 ± 2.5) pg/ml of estradiol) was found after 48 hrs of ovarian tissue hypothermic storage. If PBS was used, the estradiol level was within the indices for ovariectomized animals ((7.1 ± 1.5 (pg/ml)).

Effectiveness of cryopreserved placental drug ‘Placental cryoextract’ to correct the reproductive system disorders, occurring against the background of low levels of thyroid hormones, was studied in 50 male rats with mercazolyl hypothyroidism. Using standard test systems for animals, the level of total and free forms of thyroid hormones, total testosterone and estradiol was determined. The morphofunctional state of sperm (number, motility, pathological forms) was traditionally assessed. It was shown that the introduction of the biological product (at a dose of 50–150 μl / kg) restored the functional activity of the thyroid gland of animals, and the lowest dose was more effective. Placental cryoextract also had a dose-dependent effect on the reproductive system of animals with hypothyroidism: the most effective dose was 150 μl / kg, which maximally restored the morphofunctional parameters of sperm and stimulated testosterone production as well as normalized the Ts / E2 ratio. Cryopreserved placenta extract can be considered as a potential drug for the correction of hypothyroidism and reproductive disorders of endocrine origin in male rats.

Microprocesses at Second-Order Phase Transitions in Crystals with Strong Interband Electron-Phonon Interaction
Authors: Myasnikov E.N. , Mastropas Z.P.
Published: February 2022

A system of strongly interacting electrons and phonons in a crystal has been considered. If the temperature changes, the systemundergoes changes equivalent to those occurring at the phase transition of the second kind, when the equilibrium positions of atoms become shifted. It has been demonstrated that the expansion of the thermodynamic potential in a series in the order parameter, which is a standard routine in  the Landau phenomenological theory, can lead to equilibrium states that do not correspond to any real state of the crystal. It has also been shown that, in the course of phase transitions that occur with varying temperature, the deformation energy is released in the form of Barkhausen-like pulses.

Published: February 2022

The coplanar electrons and holes in a strong perpendicular magnetic field at low temperatures form magnetoexcitons when theCoulomb interactions between electrons and holes lying on the lowest Landau levels play the main role. However, when the electrons and hole layers are spatially separated, and the Coulomb electron-hole interaction diminishes, a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) and a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) are formed. Their properties under conditions of the fractional quantum Hall effect can influence the properties of 2D magnetoexcitons. These properties are discussed in the present review.

Cпектри пропускання і фарадеївського обертання площини поляризації світла, виміряні при температурі 2 K, порівняно для монокристалів 4H–SiC, імплантованих іонами Mn і 6H–SiC, імплантованих іонами Fe і контрольних зразків тих же монокристалів, що не піддавалися імплантації. Імплантацію проводили при енергії пучка 190 кеВ і з повними дозами опромінення 3,8 · 1016 см–2 і 5,5 · 1016 см–2. Вона приводить до створення поверхневих шарів з товщиною близько 0,2 мкм, легованих цими іонами, із середньою концентрацією іонів Mn або Fe близько 1021 см–3. Пропускання світла через імплантовані кристали змінилося незначно у порівнянні з контрольними, що, однак, відповідало відносно великомукоефіцієнту ослаблення світла в шарі з введеними іонами. Це інтерпретовано як результат розсіювання світла на неоднорідностях, створених потоком високоенергетичних іонів у цьому шарі. Присутність поверхневого шару, що містить магнітні іони, привело до значних змін у фарадеївському обертанні площини поляризації світла. Величини констант Верде для цього шару виявилися приблизно на три порядки більшими за модулем і протилежного знака в порівнянні з їх значеннями для контрольних зразків. Магнітопольові залежності фарадеївського обертання від шару з іонами Mn виявилися функціями поля, що насичуються. Це вказує на пропорційність фарадеївського обертання намагніченості парамагнітної підсистеми іонів Mn. У випадку шару, імплантованого іонами Fe, вони є лінійними за полем, подібно до того, як це спостерігається в AIIFeBIV напівмагнітних напівпровідниках. Зроблено припущення, що іони Fe у SiC, так як і у AIIFeBIV, знаходяться у синглетному стані і набувають намагніченості у зовнішньому полі через механізм, подібний ван-флеківській намагніченості. Встановлено, що шари SiC із введеними іонами Mn або Fe демонструють магнітооптичні властивості, типові для розведених магнітних (напівмагнітних) напівпровідників. Разом з тим у вивчених (SiC,Mn)C і (SiC,Fe)C зразках не спостерігалося феромагнітного упорядкування.

Наведено нові результати люмінесцентних досліджень квантових надґраток (НҐ) GaAs/AlAs I-го та ІІ-го роду, а також меж поділу гетероструктур GaAs/AlAs з використанням імпульсних фемтосекундних джерел збудження. Проаналізовано особливості кінетики фотолюмінесценції НҐ GaAs/AlAs з різними ширинами квантових ям (GaAs) та бар'єрів (AlAs). При високих рівнях збудження у квазіпрямозонних НҐ формується електронно-діркова плазма, концентрація носіїв заряду в якій більш ніж на порядок перевищує відповідне значення для об'ємних кристалів GaAs. Дослідження спектрів спонтанного та вимушеного випромінювання електронно-діркової плазми в НҐ GaAs/AlAs дозволило розрахувати спектри коефіцієнтів оптичного підсилення залежно від густини оптичної накачки в області нелінійних ефектів.

Показано, що високовпорядковані моношарові плівки гексадецилборної кислоти CH3–(CH2)15–B(OH)2 можуть бути отриманіна базисній площині високоорієнтованого піролітичного графіту шляхом нанесення розчину кислоти в n-тетрадекані n-C14H30 при кімнатній температурі. За допомогою сканувального тунельного мікроскопа (СТМ) встановлено, що моношари мають ламелеподібну структуру, в якій кожна ламель сформована парами (димерами) молекул гексадецилборної кислоти. Асоціація молекул у димери здійснюється завдяки взаємодії між B(OH)2-групами. Виявлено також, що молекули розчинника n-C14H30, перебуваючи при температурі, значно вищій, ніж температура поверхневої кристалізації моношару тетрадекану на графіті, можуть адсорбуватись спільно з молекулами кислоти. Співадсорбцію молекул розчинника можна пояснити специфікою взаємної геометрії поверхні підкладки і димерів гексадецилборної кислоти.
Quantum-Thermal Fluctuations of Effective Macroparameters and Their Correlations
Authors: Sukhanov A.D. , Golubjeva O.N. , Baryakhtar V.G.
Published: February 2022

The application of the conventional theory of macroparameter fluctuations has been shown to go beyond the framework of the thermodynamic description in a number of cases. The principles of the theory of quantum-thermal fluctuations of effectivemacroparameters and their correlations have been formulated. The theory satisfies the applicability conditions of equilibriumthermodynamics and is based on effective macroparameters, which take the integral stochastic action of the environment into account at any temperatures. The correlator of conjugate macroparameters, namely, the effective entropy and the effective temperature, has been calculated. The correlator was found to be proportional to the effective action which characterizes the stochastic environment. The pair correlators for the conjugate effective parameters "entropy–temperature" and "coordinate–momentum" have been demonstrated to depend linearly on the effective action, with their minimum values being determined by Planck's constant.
Конденсація екситонів у квантових ямах. Самоорганізація проти бозе-конденсації
Authors: Сугаков В.Й.
Published: February 2022

Проведено аналіз інтерпретації експериментальних даних по спектрах випромінювання екситонів з подвійних квантових ям. Особливості у просторовому розподілі випромінювання та в його поведінці залежно від температури та інтенсивності накачки пояснюються з точки зору існування конденсовної фази екситонів, зумовленої взаємодією між екситонами, а не їх бозе–ейнштейнівською конденсацією. Структура просторового розподілу густини екситонів у конденсованій фазі залежить від часу життя екситонів і є наслідком процесів самоорганізації в нерівноважних системах. Залежно від накачки досліджено розподіл екситонів по делокалізованих та локалізованих станах і його вплив на спектри випромінювання. Знайдено рівняння гідродинаміки екситонів, яке враховує взаємодію між екситонами. Показано існування екситонних солітоноподібних станів (автосолітонів) за межами області спінодального розпаду.
Аналог стану когерентного полонення населеностей у поліхроматичному полі

Published: February 2022

Теоретично досліджено взаємодію трирівневого атома з поліхроматичним полем з еквідістантними спектральними компонентами (Λ-схема взаємодії з полем). Показано, що взаємодія атома з таким полем зводиться до взаємодії з біхроматичним полем з додатковими світловими зсувами частот переходів і додатковим, пропорційним інтенсивності поля, зв'язком нижніх рівнів атома. Наявність цього зв'язку дозволяє говорити про когерентне полонення населеності лишенаближено, оскільки у загальному випадку довільних дипольних моментів переходів темний стан не є власним станом ефективного гамільтоніана. Розглянута модель дає просту теоретичну інтерпретацію формування близького до когерентного полонення населеностей стану атома у полі випромінювання фемтосекундного лазера.

Підсилення в осьовому напрямку внаслідок чотирихвильового змішування приводить до появи дискретних кілець конічної емісії.
Прояви структурних елементів перколяційного кластера як фрактального об’єкта у спектрах випромінювання зразків з квантовими точками ZnSe
Authors: Бондар М.В.
Published: February 2022

Під час дослідження зразків з квантовими точками ZnSe в діелектричній матриці з концентраціями нижче та вище порогаперколяції екситонів, вперше виявлено випромінювання з перколяційного кластера квантових точок як фрактального об'єкта і встановлено, що різні структурні елементи такого кластера, а саме, остов (хребет), мертві кінці та внутрішні порожнини формують свої смуги спектра фотолюмінесценції зразків. Показано, що енергія екситонних станів кожного структурного елемента кластера зумовлена, головним чином, впливом найближчих сусідів, кількість яких є різною у хребті кластера і на його периферії, в результаті чого екситонні стани рознесені по енергії і можуть спостерігатись в експерименті.
Hubungan Luar Negeri Aktor Subnasional: Kasus Kabupaten Garut di Indonesia dan Damyang-gun di Korea Selatan
Authors: Shafiyah Haritsa , Alam Gilang Nur , Affandi R. M. T. Nurhasan
Published: February 2022

This article explains how foreign relations are carried out by subnational actors in Indonesia. In carrying out foreign relations or other international activities, subnational actors must follow the rules and regulations set by the central government. For example, Kabupaten Garut, one of Indonesia’s sub-national actors, carries out foreign relations with Damyang-gun, South Korea, based on the existing national laws and regulations on foreign relations. This foreign relationship occurs because both Garut and Damyang-gun need each other to fulfil their own interests. This article discusses this foreign relations by using Christopher Whytock’s theory of transgovernmentalism and Alexander Kuznetsov’s paradiplomacy view. Employing a descriptive-analytic method, this article collected its required data through interviews and literature study. The findings show that as seen in the case of Garut and Damyang-gun foreign relations by sub-national actors that are carried out based rules and regulations resulted in positive outcomes for both the regional and central governments.
Otokratisasi dan Populisme Otoriter dalam Rezim Demokrasi: Perbandingan antara India, Hongaria, dan Turki
Authors: Margiansyah Defbry
Published: February 2022

Democracy decline undermines optimism for the expansion of world’s democracy as it occurred in established democracies. The decline from democratic to autocratic regime or “autocratization” is being experienced by India (the world’s largest democracy), Hungary (the established democracy in the European Union), and Turkey (the influential democracy in the Muslim world). Although they have different views of the main causes of the democracy decline, experts agree that authoritarian tendency driven by autocratic leaders erodes democratic values. The autocratization in the above three democracies is strongly related to “authoritarian populism” adopted by the incumbents and reflected on their antagonistic attitudes towards democracy. This article compares the role of anti-democratic populism in India, Hungary, and Turkey in the process of autocratizing democracies in the last decade. Autocratization in which authoritarian populism plays a significant role occurs through the “autocratization stages” as follows: the politicization of people’s disappointment, social polarization based on cultural narratives, weakening of democratic institutions, control of alternative information, and repression of opposition and critics. The article concludes that as seen in the cases of India, Hungary and Turkey, autocratization is highly dependent on the incumbents' skill in exploiting populist rhetoric to legitimize the regime's authoritarian actions.

Employing virtual ethnography with a digital observation to social media platform and online interview, this paper aims to investigate the religious moderation program in digital sphere as a strategy to counter radicalism that circulate in the virtual sphere. By focusing its analysis on the digital messages on religious moderation circulated digitally by the Peace Generation movement, this paper argues that religious moderation campaign targeting millennial group should be implemented in media which millennial generation are accustomed to such as social media. The application of social media in religious moderation campaign is not only strategic in distributing the messages but also an attractive method in providing accessible alternative content for the millennial generation.

This article discusses how religious organizations use social media by focusing its analysis on Nahdlatul Ulama and its YouTube channel, NU Channel. Using a qualitative method, this study collected its required data through online observation of NU Channel. This article argues that the assumption that Nahdlatul Ulama is a religious organization that tends to be traditionalist and conservative towards technological developments is incorrect. Nahdlatul Ulama is willing to adopt the internet as a new medium for conveying its religious views. The findings show that Nahdlatul Ulama is adaptive to social media as seen its adoption of YouTube as a new medium of religious studies conducted online on NU Channel. All this show a digital transformation within Nahdlatul Ulama’ religious studies, which is traditionally identical with pesantren, direct learning method with kiai, and other conventional ways of education and learning.

Physical activity is a generally accepted means of primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, but in some cases, it can be a risk factor for cardiovascular events, including sudden cardiac death (SCD). Most studies analyze the relationship of cardiovascular events with the volume and general directions of exercise. Besides, a significant part of the guidelines and studies are devoted to the effects of aerobic exercise, while the importance of anaerobic exercise remains controversial. The review analyzes works devoted to the influence of strength training, such as weightlifting, bodybuilding, powerlifting, etc., on the cardiovascular system, as well as their relationship with SCD and other cardiovascular events. The design and contingent of the analyzed papers did not allow them to be systematized correctly. Therefore, the review is largely analytical in nature.

Authors: Lepshokova M. Kh. , Kosmacheva E. D.

Aim. To assess the diagnostic value of heart rate variability (HRV) parameters and regulatory-adaptive status index and their prognostic value after orthotopic heart transplantation.

Material and methods. The study included 70 patients after orthotopic heart transplantation using a modified bicaval technique performed in the period from 2012 to 2015. The follow-up period was 36±1 month. Most of the recipients were men — 59 (84,29%). The mean age was 50,24±10 years. Twelve, 24 and 36 months after the operation, recipients underwent right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy, 24-hou relectrocardiographic monitoring, and a cardiorespiratory synchronization (CRS) test. Statistical data processing was carried out using the Statistica 10 software (StatSoft Inc., version 10.0.228.8, Oklahoma, USA). The informativeness of studied parameters in predicting rejection episode was assessed by ROC analysis.

Results. Twelve months after transplantation, rejection episode was diagnosed in 23 (33%) recipients, 24 months — in 23 (34,8%), 36 months — in 19 (29,6%). CRS characteristics did not differ significantly depending on the presence of a rejection episode as 12 months after surgery (p>0,2) and subsequently (p>0,3). HRV values in the first year after surgery did not show differences in the groups with a rejection episode. After 2 years, the high-frequency component of the HRV frequency domain had the highest predictive value (AUC=0,693, p=0,005). Three years after the operation, all analyzed HRV parameters demonstrated informative value for the diagnosis of rejection episode, the highest predictive value among which had the heart rate (AUC=0,873, p<0,001).

Conclusion. The study of HRV should be considered to assess the risk of a rejection episodes in recipients 2 and 3 years after surgery. The regulatory-adaptive status index, being an integral value of cardiac transplant reinnervation, does not demonstrate predictive value in relation to the rejection episode within 3 years after transplantation. However, it confirms the fact of cardiac transplant reinnervation and allows assessing the regulatory-adaptive status of recipients after surgery.

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often have comorbidities or characteristics (senile age, chronic kidney disease, high risk of coronary events, cognitive impairment) that can affect the patient's prognosis and that must be taken into account when prescribing therapy for stroke prevention. However, there are groups of patients with a high risk of bleeding, which cause concern to the doctor about possible hemorrhagic events. Direct Oral Anticoagulant (DOAC) Xarelto® (rivaroxaban) compared with other DOACs confirmed a favorable safety profile in the widest patient population: from children to senile patients. Moreover, high safety indicators in the treatment with rivaroxaban were obtained in vulnerable, from the point of view of hemorrhagic risks, patients with AF with various risk factors: those with a high risk of bleeding according to HAS-BLED scores, elderly patients, patients with chronic kidney disease, including advanced stages, as well as with anemia. It is important to remember that bleeding is not the only undesirable outcome for an elderly patient with AF. To ensure the most favorable prognosis of his life and health, it is necessary to level the maximum possible number of risks. The use of rivaroxaban may make it possible to approach the therapy of an elderly patient with AF in a comprehensive manner: to prevent stroke with a proven safety profile, while simultaneously reducing the risks of coronary events and renal complications, as well as contributing to the formation of high adherence — a necessary condition for obtaining the expected results of therapy.
Information Bottleneck in Deep Learning - A Semiotic Approach
Authors: Musat Bogdan , Andonie Razvan
Published: February 2022

The information bottleneck principle was recently proposed as a theory meant to explain some of the training dynamics of deep neural architectures. Via information plane analysis, patterns start to emerge in this framework, where two phases can be distinguished: fitting and compression. We take a step further and study the behaviour of the spatial entropy characterizing the layers of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), in relation to the information bottleneck theory. We observe pattern formations which resemble the information bottleneck fitting and compression phases. From the perspective of semiotics, also known as the study of signs and sign-using behavior, the saliency maps of CNN’s layers exhibit aggregations: signs are aggregated into supersigns and this process is called semiotic superization. Superization can be characterized by a decrease of entropy and interpreted as information concentration. We discuss the information bottleneck principle from the perspective of semiotic superization and discover very interesting analogies related to the informational adaptation of the model. In a practical application, we introduce a modification of the CNN training process: we progressively freeze the layers with small entropy variation of their saliency map representation. Such layers can be stopped earlier from training without a significant impact on the performance (the accuracy) of the network, connecting the entropy evolution through time with the training dynamics of a network.

Public bicycles are an indispensable part of green public transportation and are also a convenient and economical manner for the general public. In operation management, it is very important and imperative to understand the user demand and pattern of the public bicycle system. This paper took the public bicycle system in Hohhot as the research object, collected nearly 4 years of operating data, and studied the travel preferences of users in the public bicycle system in view of multiple granularities. Specifically, the data of car rental users at three time-granularities were obtained through data extraction technology. Finally, frequent pattern mining was performed on car rental data based on different time granularities and mapped to the user’s riding preference, and then the riding modes of different car rental users founded on different time granularities were determined. Finally, this article gave different management opinions based on the different riding preferences of public bicycle users in Hohhot.

Distribution of thermal energy using different types of mains has experienced practical application and much development over a period of more than a century. Technical excellence, operational characteristics including conservation of heat energy, reliability and future maintenance are of prime consideration. Reliability of heat supply is evaluated by the number of network failures. Failure amount in district heating (DH) networks is enormous. It makes us pay attention to DH performance issues. It is sufficiency to rehabilitate only mostly outworn distribution lengths to reduce a failure rate and heat losses. The main mean is hydraulic pressure tests. The aim of the paper is data generalization and provision an overview of the subjects included in the project within certain DH system (e. g. Omsk's DH system). The article includes general information about this method. The process to prepare this paper was as follows: defining the scope of works for the study which was discussed and mutually agreed in meetings between the authors. Back-in-time pressure tests operation data analysis technique is chosen to receive a valid data. Then the study was started with collecting relevant data in written form, a background study, familiarizing to previous studies and reports made during the span of years. Its efficiency was analysed. Negative causes were given. Relevance of modernization of pressure tests perfomance was clarified during the state assessment as well as the development of the same option in the future. According to the collected data the authors carried out that future research in this field is required

Currently, stereotaxic brain surgery is an actively developing branch of medicine. During these operations, a special needleis inserted into the brain through a hole in the skull. This needle is moved in the brain tissue so that its tip reaches a certainpoint, after which the necessary medical manipulation is performed (for example, taking a puncture). To ensure accuratepositioning of the needle, it is advisable to monitor the process of such operations using the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus. This puts restrictions on the type of actuators that can be used to drive the needle. The paper considers the problemof controlling the penetration of a cylindrical needle into a phantom of the brain where the control force is generated using apiezoelectric drive (PED). To describe the interaction of the needle with the tissue, a phenomenological model is proposed,under which it is assumed that the phantom tissue is a viscoelastic and plastic material, and also demonstrates relaxationproperties. When describing forces acting on the lateral surface of the needle from the side of the tissue, the presence of dryfriction is taken into account. The proposed model contains a number of parameters that are identified based on experimentscarried out at the NCKU (Taiwan). In these experiments, a standard biopsy needle was inserted into a phantom made fromagar-agar solution, and the position of the needle and the force acting on it from the tissue were registered. It is shown thatthe experimental results are in good agreement with the calculations in the context of the model. An algorithm for controllingthe needle by setting the frequency of excitation of the probe is proposed. The aim of the control is to introduce the needleto a given depth at a given constant speed, and then hold the needle at this depth. During the process, it is required to avoidovershooting in speed and position. Numerical simulation has been carried out. The effect of the feedback parameters on thenature of the process is investigated. It is shown that the proper choice of parameters allows for avoiding the overshooting.
