Análisis comparativo técnicoeconómico entre losas aligeradas en dos direcciones y losas tipo viguetas en una dirección. Caso de estudio en la ciudad de Azogues, Ecuador
Authors: Heredia Garzón Ronny Iván , León Rojas Ángeles Gabriela , Nieto Cárdenas Jaime Xavier , Illescas Cárdenas Paúl Esteban
Published: November 2024

En este estudio se realiza una comparación técnico-económica entre losas aligeradas en dos direcciones (add) y losas tipo viguetas en una dirección (TUVD), siendo estas últimas una propuesta de diseño para emplearse en el país. Se consideraron dos proyectos de edificación multifamiliar en Azogues. La investigación se desarrolló mediante el diseño conforme a la norma ACI 318-19 y a la estimación del costo por metro cuadrado de cada tipología. Los resultados indican que la losa TUVD presenta menor peso que la ADD, lo que conlleva a una reducción en las dimensiones de cimientos, vigas y columnas, dando lugar a edificaciones estructuralmente livianas y estables. El análisis económico revela que el costo final de la losa TUVD es menor respecto a cantidad de materiales y mano de obra, gracias a la simplicidad de su proceso constructivo. En Ecuador, la implementación de esta estructura significaría una importante innovación frente a los sistemas de losa convencionales.
¿Cómo analizar casos prácticos en ética y bioética? propuesta metodológica para la formación en bioética desde la filosofía realista
Authors: Abellán Salort José Carlos
Published: November 2024

Una de las competencias que deben adquirirse en el aprendizaje de la ética y la bioética es la de ser capaces de analizar situaciones, casos y problemas, pues ambas ciencias comparten una naturaleza prescriptiva; su finalidad es proponer razonamientos que nos ayuden a decidir el sentido de nuestras acciones, lo que requiere procesos cognitivos que conviene ordenar conforme a un método, un procedimiento que debe servir a la finalidad última de esas ciencias. Esto es lo que justifica, en el caso concreto de la bioética, que sus estudiosos se hayan preocupado por la “cuestión metodológica”, y que esta sea trascendente tanto en las discusiones bioéticas como en su enseñanza. La inadecuación del método “deliberativo” de los principialistas y consensualistas para la ética y la bioética, por su autolimitación apriorística filosófica y antropológica, y las dificultades del método “triangular” de los personalistas en el nivel de su aplicabilidad, de su concreción práctica, nos llevaron a buscar una síntesis de las innegables virtualidades de ambos en nuestro método, que hemos denominado “realista”. Sus características y fases de aplicación para el estudio de casos de ética y bioética se resumen en este trabajo, de interés especialmente para estudiosos, enseñantes y prácticos de la bioética, pero también para toda persona que busque una alternativa al pensamiento único dominante sobre la razón natural, la libertad, el fundamento y la teleología de la acción moral o nuevas claves para articular los procesos de decisión moral.

FORMIGA CHIADEIRA (HYMENOPTERA, MUTILLIDAE) NA CULTURA BRASILEIRA UMA FERRAMENTA PARA POPULARIZAÇÃO E CONSERVAÇÃO
Authors: Batista Gustavo De Souza , Simões Noele Aparecida , De Aguiar Crispim Fernando Gonçalves , Vilela Diogo Silva , De Souza Marcos Magalhães
Published: November 2024

A etnoentomologia busca compreender as manifestações que se originam da relação entre insetos e humanos, o que pode auxiliar em práticas de manejo e conservação da biodiversidade, o que justifica trabalhos com diferentes táxons como as vespas de comportamento solitário da família mutillidae, conhecidas no Brasil, entre outros nomes, como “formigas-chiadeiras”. O objetivo do presente artigo é realizar uma revisão bibliográfica de diferentes manifestações culturais brasileiras que são estabelecidas a partir do conhecimento popular sobre esses insetos, e assim fornecer subsídios para a popularização e sua conservação. As informações foram coletadas entre os meses de fevereiro a junho de 2024, por meio da revisão da literatura, com análise de obras científicas (artigos, livros, resumos, monografias, teses e dissertações), obtidas nas plataformas Google Scholar, Periódicos Capes, Researchgate, além de vídeos do Youtube, blogs e Facebook. As espécies de mutillidae são popularmente conhecidas no Brasil por diversos nomes, associados a morfologia, coloração e comportamento. Nos estados de Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Minas Gerais e São Paulo, há registros da utilização dos mutillidae para fins medicinais no tratamento de doenças respiratórias, além de alimentar crenças e outras manifestações culturais. As redes sociais e o Youtube podem ser fonte de informação sobre a morfologia, etnoconhecimento e etologia, de forma a contribuir para a popularização e conservação dessas vespas.
A migração infantil sob a perspectiva das vulnerabilidades das crianças e adolescentes
Authors: Rezende Heverton Lopes
Published: November 2024

Diversas são as razões que determinam a migração infantil, como a procura por melhores condições de vida, oportunidades educacionais e de tratamento de saúde, dentre outros fatores relacionados a desigualdades sociais. Mas esse tipo de migração também pode ser motivada por perseguição por motivos de religião, raça, grupo social, nacionalidade ou opiniões políticas, ou em razão de grave e generalizada violação de direitos humanos; ocasião em que essas pessoas podem estar inseridas no perfil de solicitantes de refúgio. Destarte, quanto ao problema apontado: é possível mensurar a vulnerabilidade das crianças e adolescentes migrantes que ingressam no Brasil em busca de refúgio? Para responder a esse problema, o objetivo geral é discutir aspectos jurídicos e sociais relacionados a migração infantil no Brasil e no mundo. Metodologia empregada: foram utilizadas técnicas que envolvem a pesquisa bibliográfica (documentação indireta), além dos métodos sistêmico e dedutivo. Resultados: Foram demonstradas diversas situações traumáticas a que estão submetidas as crianças e adolescentes migrantes em busca de refúgio, como a exposição ao deslocamento em rotas clandestinas, dificuldades para obtenção do Cartão Nacional de Saúde do SUS, violações de direitos humanos nos abrigos, dentre outros.

Authors: Creuz Derek Assenço , Silveira Brenda Emanuely Sant'Ana , Volz Muriel Brenna
Published: November 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é descrever, analisar e criticar a utilização do conceito de interseccionalidade no Sistema Interamericano de Proteção de Direitos Humanos e seus principais órgãos. Para tanto, realiza-se pesquisa qualiquantitativa, aplicando-se as técnicas de análise documental ao recorte temporal 1989-2020, com documentos elaborados pela Comissão e pela Corte Interamericanas. Conclui-se que o conceito de interseccionalidade empregado pela Comissão Interamericana e pela Corte Interamericana estão em consonância com o conceito teórico apreendido a partir da revisão de literatura, sobretudo quanto à dimensão qualitativa e o caráter estrutural da interseccionalidade. Por fim, também é importante destacar que a confusão conceitual entre interseccionalidade e outras formas de discriminação, em que se configura a confluência de dois ou mais vetores, pode comprometer sua eficácia enquanto instrumento, metodologia e conceito para a defesa dos direitos humanos e, especialmente, da dignidade humana.
Polifem między nomos oraz physis. Homer, Sofiści i „prawa ludzkiej miary” w dramacie satyrowym "Cyklop" Eurypidesa
Authors: Skarbek-Kazanecki Jan
Published: November 2024

At the height of their development and popularization, the Odyssey and the Iliad were part of a rich tradition of oral epic poetry. And while the transmission of Homer’s epics was facilitated by a Panhellenic framework, these works themselves became catalysts for the consolidation and unification of Greek culture; they shaped a shared Greek identity and a common value system. Particularly significant in this regard is the episode from Book IX of the Odyssey, namely the scene of the Odysseus-Polyphemos encounter. The island of the Cyclopes, as I argue in this article, represents a structural inversion of a civilized and orderly human community; the image of Polyphemos embodies “wildness” and delineates (or redefines) the boundaries of discourse on civilization, culture, and community. This motif anticipates, thus, the debate on nomos (“law”) and physis (“nature”) that engaged the intellectual elite of Athens, known as the sophists, around the turn of the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. This article traces the reception of the Polyphemos motif within this sophistic discourse of that period. Euripides’ satyr play Cyclops, filled with allusions to the sophists who were keenly interested in the Homeric motif of the island of the one-eyed monsters, serves as the focal point for this analysis. Furthermore, I will show that Euripides uses the dramaturgical framework inspired by Homer’s epic to confront two worldviews: on the one hand, respect for tradition and values associated with ancient poetry (the attitude represented by Odysseus), and on the other, the rationalism, radicalism, and tradition-directed criticism that characterized Euripides’ contemporary political thinkers and philosophers (represented by Polyphemos).
Pułapki przekładu, czyli o różnicy między skromnością i małodusznością w pismach Arystotelesa
Authors: Sowa Joanna
Published: November 2024

The article raises the issue of the proper understanding of the concept of mikropsychia in Aristotle’s works. In modern Polish translations, the term is translated as “small-mindedness” or “exaggerated modesty”; according to one of the translators, it is the equivalent of Christian “humility”.In the first part of the article, it is shown that in the writings of Aristotle and his contemporary authors, mikropsychia is a serious moral vice, the source of which is self-ignorance and the resulting low self-esteem. It is often associated with cowardice, envy, greed and selfishness. Understood in this way, this character trait has nothing to do with modesty, which we consider a virtue. The second part of the article discusses various ways of understanding modesty and its place in Aristotle’s ethics. The interrelationship between modesty, pride, moderation and proper self-esteem is also shown.
Why Do We Get Sick? Some Remarks by Horace on the Causes of Human Ailments
Authors: Grzelak-Krzymianowska Adriana
Published: November 2024

Quintus Horatius Flaccus, perhaps the most famous Roman poet, vividly portrayed for us in his works both a picture of contemporary society and the world of his thoughts, beliefs and reflections. Among the many well-developed motifs in his work, there are some that have not yet become the subject of in-depth research. These include references of a medical nature. The purpose of this article is to point out places in Horace’s works where he does not so much mention illnesses, but where he gives the causes that make man decline in health. It can therefore be considered that, besides causes beyond human control, the poet’s portrayal of the repertoire of human vices and inappropriate lifestyles is intended to show people that they can improve their existence both physically and spiritually. Horace, by showing the causes of certain diseases and related physical and spiritual afflictions, simultaneously shows man the path to follow in order to be healthy and happy.
Barokowe „wojny” (z) ciałem
Authors: Krawiec-Złotkowska Krystyna
Published: November 2024

The article presents the topic of the allegorical war against the body, which in the post-Tridentine culture was perceived in an ambivalent way: as sinful and evil and as good because it was the work of God. Allegorical battles were also presented, in which the body is a tool in battle. Attention was paid to the sources of this ambivalence – the dualistic nature of man. The different needs of the soul and body have the nature of a conflict. The fight for man is fought by: Amor Divinus and Amor profanus. The bodies of people who lived piously and wanted to achieve mystical union with Christ are shown in the laudatory theme – similarly to. The bodies of sinners who succumbed to sensual temptations during their lives are depreciated, despised, presented in turpistic aesthetics, and ultimately condemned to the torments of hell. The ancient sources of this type of imagery were indicated – the ideas of Plato, the thought of Seneca and Horace – and the affiliations between ancient culture and post-Tridentine poetry. It has been established that the Body of Christ has a unique status. Descriptions of the tormented Jesus, permeated with brutal naturalism, were intended to provoke reflection and influence the conversion of sinners. The Judeo-Christian tradition and the heritage of Greco-Roman antiquity were transformed and adapted to the post-Tridentine culture in the 17th century.
Wandalowie w Hiszpanii i Rzymie, czyli Macieja z Miechowa (1457–1523) metoda badania dziejów
Authors: Zawadzki Robert K.
Published: November 2024

In the article Robert K. Zawadzki examines the representation of the Vandals in the historical work entitled Chronica Polonorum of Maciej of Miechów. This race who settled on the south coast of the Baltic Sea provided fertile ground for the Polish writer to articulate his ideas about the origins of the Polish nation. By examining these historical tales, the author shows how the author constructed an image of journeys of the great nation in keeping with the patriotic and moralistic goals and context of his own work, while individually creating a vision of Poles as Vandals who occupied Transdanubian Pannonia, attacked the Roman provinces, devastated wide areas of Gaul, crossed into Spain, moved into North Africa and captured Rome. This combination of such historical narrative material aims to highlight both the splendor of ancient Polish history and the fundamental unity of the Polish and European history.

Published: November 2024

Background and Purpose:Nursing undergraduate students may encounter unkind behaviors during their clinical education. This study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the “Uncivil Behavior in Clinical Nursing Education (UBCNE) Questionnaire,” which measures nursing students’ perceived levels of uncivil behavior in the clinical learning environment.Methods:The study was conducted in four steps: translation, face and content validity, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability assessment. Data were collected from 216 nursing students from Turkey.Results:In the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), a unidimensional factor structure with an eigenvalue above 1 was detected, and therefore the scale was analyzed as a single dimension. In the EFA with 13 items, the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin value was 0.943, and the Barlett test result was 1862.965 (p <.05). The fit indices for the class were calculated as χ2/df= 2.218, root-mean-square error of approximation = .075, and comparative fit index = 0.961.Cronbach’s coefficient α (alpha)for Turkish culture was .942.Conclusion:The study showed that the Turkish version of the UBCNE scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing perceived incivil behaviours in nursing students’ clinical education.

Determinants of Child Marriage in Indonesia : A Systematic Review
Authors: Zulfa Zuhriyyah Ayudiputri  , Anisa Afianti Nur  , Siska Amanda  , Fahma Fadila Hanifa
Published: November 2024

Early marriage is an ongoing phenomenon and is becoming more prevalent. The lack of public knowledge and lack of awareness of early child marriage leaves children deeply traumatized. More than 1 million (1.2 million) women aged 20-24 were married for the first time before the age of 18. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of the causal characteristics of child marriage in Indonesia. The method used in this study was a systematic review conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) rules. The literature search was performed across multiple journal sites or online articles such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct by entering the keywords 'Determinants of child marriage AND Indonesia'. There is a prevalent belief among parents and youth is that marrying off young girls preserves family honor. Additionally, poverty and economic instability make child marriage more socially acceptable. Other contributing factors include limited access to education and societal norms that promote marriage after puberty and within the same ethnic group. Despite existing laws regulating the minimum age for marriage, enforcement remains problematic. The review of nine articles indicated that child marriage in Indonesia is influenced by beliefs, limited access to education, culture, environmental factors, and gaps in legal enforcement.
Environmental Factors to Malaria Incidence : A Literature Review
Authors: Nani Nani Sri Untari , Rahardjo Mursid , Martini
Published: November 2024

Malaria remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, particularly due to its high mortality rate among children under five, accounting for approximately two-thirds of all cases. The disease is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes, which carry the Plasmodium parasite. In 2019, malaria caused 409,000 deaths globally, with 229 million cases reported, particularly in remote areas with poor access to healthcare, commonly in low-income countries. This literature review highlighted the environmental risk factors contributing to malaria incidence, based on studies from 24 scientific journals using data from the Sinta and Scopus databases. The study identified key environmental factors, including physical, chemical, biological, and socio-cultural elements, with the most significant risk linked to vector breeding sites. Among the reviewed articles, 62.5% (15 out of 24) found a statistically significant association between the presence of mosquito breeding sites and malaria incidence. Additional risk factors included the use of mosquito nets, housing conditions (specifically wall density), and nighttime outdoor activities. Effective malaria control measures require addressing these environmental factors, as they play a crucial role in the disease’s transmission. Strategies to disrupt the transmission cycle include eliminating mosquito breeding sites, applying larvicides to stagnant water, cleaning vector resting areas, promoting the use of insecticide-treated nets, and implementing Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS). A community-based, integrated approach to environmental management is essential to reducing malaria transmission and controlling its spread in affected regions.

Contributory Factors to the Inability of the Poor to Access National Health Protection: A Case Study in Waingapu, Sumba Timur District, Indonesia
Authors: Windi Yohanes Kambaru , Harnani Baiq Dewi , Asnani
Published: November 2024

Millions of poor Indonesians still need access to Indonesia's National Health Protection (NHP). The study investigated barriers making NHP inaccessible for the poor in Waingapu, Sumba Timur, Indonesia.  We used a qualitative approach to identify the contributing factors to why NHP was inaccessible for some populations. A total of 30 residents of Waingapu who attended healthcare in two hospitals and five Community Health Centers were recruited using convenience technic. Twenty residents participated in the semi-structured interview, while ten engaged in casual conversations. We also interviewed three heads of community groups and three health cadres for comparative information. Questions have been developed to guide the interviews and casual conversation. The interviews were audio-taped and transcribed while intensive note-taking was performed during the informal discussion or the conversation was narrated immediately after the talks ended. The information was inductive, analyzed, and coded to produce common information among the participants. The data analysis revealed the factors that contributed to the failure of the resident to enroll in the NHP, such as lack of information about the registration, poor socialization of the program, the ignorance of village officers, unaffordability, and confusion about the parties responsible for the registration. The study concluded that poor people were still vulnerable to access free coverage and healthcare from the NHP. The stakeholders of the NHP, especially the local management of NHP and local government, need to urgently and effectively educate the commoners about the mechanism, benefits, and contribution to the NHP to ensure equity and equality in accessing quality healthcare.
Angiosarcoma of the Breast: Case Report
Authors: Badak Bartu , Yılmaz Arda Şakir , Yurdakul Mithat Mert , Seker Nazlı Sena , Albayrak Furkan
Published: November 2024

Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive tumor of the breast arising from endothelial cells. It is usually associated with chronic lymphedema or radiation therapy. The diagnosis is made by biopsy and there is no specific finding on mammography. In this study, we report a 59-year-old woman with a history of radiotherapy for invasive ductal carcinoma who subsequently developed primary angiosarcoma of the breast. Angiosarcoma of the breast was first documented in 1887 and is classified as primary and secondary. While surgical R0 resection is recommended for the treatment of these tumors with unclear etiology, the significance of axillary lymph node dissection remains uncertain. Adjuvant radiotherapy has been shown to reduce the local recurrence rate, but adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy have no significant effect on 5-year survival. Although there is no consensus on treatment regimens, it is concluded that more comprehensive studies should be conducted in a larger sample.
Postcolonial Discourse: Theory, Methodology and Practice of Application (on the Example of Ethnopolitical Separatism in Africa)
Authors: Podshibyakina T. , Camara S.
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this work is to study the possibilities of the postcolonial discourse theory by E. Said and his methodology for developing the basic principles of the concept of ethnopolitical separatism in postcolonial African countries. The scientific direction of postcolonial studies, to which it belongs, is currently studying a number of topical problems caused by the reproduction of the ideas of colonialism in various forms. The subject of the study is the provisions of the theory of postcolonial discourse, which are important for the description of the concept of ‘postcolonial’ for the practical application. It is established that those concepts that remain relevant are as follows: concept (E. Said), ambivalence (G. Spivak) and cultural ‘third space’ (H. Bhabha). A critical analysis of the development of the theory of postcolonial discourse on the basis of Francophone studies was carried out to describe the manifestation of colonial stereotypes in postcolonial contexts, as well as their reflection in modern foreign policy strategies of France and implementation in the practises of maintaining African ethnopolitical separatism. The role of leading French writers, scientists and public figures in the development of the theory of postcolonial discourse is assessed. The periodisation of the formation of Francophone studies known as the ‘French Library’ is proposed, brief descriptions of each of the three stages, starting from the 90s of the 20th century, are given. Particular attention is paid to the concept of deconstruction of Zh. Derrida, V-I. Mudimbe, A. Mbembe. Using the example of French foreign policy, discursive practises and forms of deconstruction of stereotypes of colonialism in the postcolonial era are considered. The strategies and methods of interference of the former metropolis in the political affairs of the independent African states of the Sahel region, supporting ethnopolitical conflicts, are described. The analysis made it possible to argue that ethnopolitical separatism in the light of the theory of postcolonial discourse should be considered in the context of a special cultural space where modernism and archaicism, democracy and autocracy, colonial and postcolonial are intertwined. It is shown that the ‘postcolonial’ has an ambivalent character, manifested in the binary identity and the mixing of the ideas of constructivism and primordialism. The potential of the theory of postcolonial discourse and the corresponding methodology is revealed, allowing to apply its concepts to study the practises of postcolonial ethnopolitical separatism.
Enhancing IoT Systems: Cybercrime Prevention through Security Vulnerability Management
Authors: Thawait Naveen Kumar
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT: The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) has introduced transformative benefits across various sectors, but it has also exposed significant security vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are increasingly being exploited by cybercriminals, posing a major threat to the integrity of IoT systems. This paper, titled "Enhancing IoT Systems: Cybercrime Prevention through Security Vulnerability Management", aims to identify key security weaknesses in IoT devices and networks and proposes effective strategies to mitigate associated cybercrime risks. The study adopts a multifaceted approach, combining a thorough review of existing literature with real-world case studies to explore prevalent IoT vulnerabilities. Additionally, it evaluates current prevention techniques, such as encryption, AI-based intrusion detection, and Blockchain, comparing their effectiveness in securing IoT systems. The proposed solutions are tested in simulated IoT environments, demonstrating their capacity to significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks. Key findings indicate that industrial IoT and healthcare IoT systems are especially vulnerable, highlighting the need for advanced risk management frameworks tailored to these sectors. The paper concludes that integrating innovative technologies such as AI and Blockchain, alongside regular security updates, can enhance IoT security and play a critical role in preventing cybercrime. The implications of this research extend to the development of safer IoT infrastructures, with a focus on strengthening global cybercrime defense mechanisms.
The Unified Model of Consciousness: Interface and Feedback Loop as the Core of Sentience
Authors: Watchus Berend
Published: November 2024

This paper proposes a unified model of consciousness, asserting that the fundamental mechanisms driving sentience are rooted in feedback loops and interfaces. These mechanisms are substrate agnostic, meaning they are not dependent on the underlying material or structure of the system—whether biological, artificial, or synthetic. Feedback loops allow systems to process, adjust, and adapt over time, enabling self-regulation and learning. The paper argues that consciousness emerges when these feedback loops interact in a sufficiently complex and integrated manner, giving rise to subjective experience. Furthermore, the interfaces through which systems interact with their internal and external environments are described as generic and universal, capable of facilitating the integration of information regardless of the system’s form. This theory of consciousness as an emergent property extends beyond the biological realm, highlighting the potential for both biological and artificial systems to exhibit sentience through complex feedback loops.
Strategic Optimization and Demand Response for Thermal Load Management in Multi-Regional Integrated Energy Systems: A Stackelberg Game Approach
Authors: Yang Ranran
Published: November 2024

In the context of high fossil fuel consumption and inefficiency within China's energy systems, effective demand-side management is essential. This study examines the thermal characteristics of various building types across different functional areas, utilizing the concept of body coefficient to integrate their unique structural and energy use traits into a demand response framework supported by real-time pricing. We developed a Stackelberg game-based bi-level optimization model that captures the dynamic interplay of costs and benefits between integrated energy providers and users. This model is formulated into a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions and linearized with the Big M method, subsequently solved using MATLAB and CPLEX. This approach enables distinctive management of heating loads in public and residential areas, optimizing energy efficiency while balancing the interests of both providers and users. Furthermore, the study explores how the proportion of different area types affects the potential for reducing heat loads, providing insights into the scalability and effectiveness of demand response strategies in integrated energy systems. This analysis not only highlights the economic benefits of such strategies but also their potential in reducing dependency on traditional energy sources, thus contributing to more sustainable energy system practices.

In succeeding papers, Morita gave discussions of this problem on the basis of nonstandard analysis. It was applied to the hypergeometric, the Hermite, a simple ordinary and a fractional differential equation. In the present paper, this method is applied to the solutions of inhomogeneous and homogeneous Heun’s differential equations.
Planetary Masses and Quark Masses Follow Fibonacci Numbers
Authors: Le Donne Luisa
Published: November 2024

In this paper the author investigates why planets and particles have exactly those masses. The study shows a possible analysis of the relative value of any planet (particle) mass to any other one. The author is able to find that any two planetary masses or two particle masses are in ratio like two Fibonacci numbers. Specifically, the author shows to be able to find one planet (or particle) mass starting from the biggest mass of the planet system (or the biggest mass among quark and leptons) and a Fibonacci number.

Simulating Self-Awareness: Dual Embodiment, Mirror Testing, and Emotional Feedback in AI Research
Authors: Watchus Berend
Published: November 2024

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) toward self-awareness and emotional capacity is a critical area of research. Despite AI's success in specialized tasks, it has yet to exhibit true self-awareness or emotional intelligence. Previous research has emphasized the importance of feedback loops and interfaces in enabling both biological and artificial systems to process information and exhibit self-aware behaviors. Notably, in our earlier work, we proposed a unified model of consciousness (Watchus, 2024), which highlighted recursive feedback loops in both biological and artificial systems and explored the insula's role in self-awareness (Watchus, 2024). Building upon these foundations, the current study investigates how dual embodiment, mirror testing, and emotional feedback mechanisms can simulate self-awareness in AI systems. By integrating internal self-models with external sensory interfaces, we propose that emotional feedback can enhance AI's self-reflection and adaptability. Through the use of a physical robot dog (Unitree Go2) and a virtual embodiment, we explore how sensory experiences and self-reflective tasks foster pseudo-emotional states like curiosity, self-doubt, and determination, advancing the potential for AI systems to develop pseudo-self-awareness.

Over the past few years, there has been significant research on the Internet of Things (IOT), with a major challenge being network security and penetration. Security solutions require careful planning and vigilance to safeguard system security and privacy. Adjusting the weights of neural networks has been shown to improve detection accuracy to some extent. In attack detection, the primary goal is to enhance the precision of attack detection using machine learning techniques. The paper details a fresh approach for adjusting weights in the random neural network to recognize attacks. Reviews of the method under consideration indicate better performance than random neural network methods, Nearest Neighbor, and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Up to 99.49% accuracy has been achieved in attack detection, while the random neural network method has improved to 99.01%. The amalgamation of the most effective approaches in these experiments through a multi-learning model led to an accuracy improvement to 99.56%. The proposed model required less training time compared to the random neural network method.

The Liucun pluton locates in the area that adjoin to Zhejiang province in the eastern section of the Jiangnan orogenic belt. It is mainly composed of monzonitic granite and granites, with late intrusion of syenite-granite. Numerous deposits (points) were found on the southwest side of the pluton. The characteristics of major elements show that the Liucun rock masses are all silica-rich, potassium-rich and peraluminous high potassium calc-alkaline rocks with right-leaning characteristics of light rare earth element enrichment and heavy rare earth element deficit. The degree of differentiation of light and heavy rare earth elements is similar, with obvious negative Eu anomaly. Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb weighted mean ages of monzonitic granite, porphyritic biotite monzonitic granite and granite are 130.50±0.55Ma, 128.95±0.46Ma and 133.8±1.0Ma, which belong to the late stage of magmatic activity in the Jiangnan uplift belt. The emplacement time of granite is slightly earlier than that of monzonitic granite. The characteristics of major, trace and rare earth elements in Liucun pluton are typical of A-type granites, and the characteristics of major, trace elements and Hf isotopes indicate the shell-source characteristics of Liucun pluton. From the perspective of the whole Jiangnan orogenic belt in southern Anhui, the value of the late stage rock (87Sr/86Sr) i, including the Liucun pluton, is smaller than that of the early stage, and the εNd (t) and εHf (t) values of the late stage rock are larger than that of the early stage, and the distribution range is narrower than that of the early stage, which indicates that the late stage rock is mixed with a greater proportion of new mantle materials than that of the early granitic rock. The Liucun pluton is derived from the secondary partial melting of the ancient lower crust in Mesoproterozoic, and during the melting process, more new mantle source materials were mixed in due to the transformation of tectonic environment. The formation of the main body of Liucun pluton (monzonitic granite) may be influenced by extrusion collision, and the Liucun pluton was formed in the intraplate stretching environment after the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous tectonic transition period.
