Mingled Identities and Lives in Translation: China as a Calling
Authors: Saussy Haun
Published: September 2024

The engagement of scholars and social scientists with cultures not their own is often said today to be a colonial or appropriative action. Such charges are countered here not defensively but by description of the hybridity of intercultural dialogues, of which translation is one case. Jesuit translation in Ming-dynasty China gives the example. Translation is often thought of as a channel – a way of moving content from one language to another. It is more productive, in my view, to treat it as a receptacle, a vessel in which unexpected combinations occur and give rise to new substances. Thus the missionary goal becomes a mere precursor to an actual production of new texts and new identities.
Extending geodetic networks for geo-monitoring by supervised point cloud matching
Authors: Raffl Lukas , Holst Christoph
Published: September 2024

In this paper we propose a monitoring method that allows the inclusion of point clouds into a geodetic monitoring network. Consequently, network adjustment and a rigorous deformation analysis can be performed allowing consistent error propagation and trustful significance calculation. We introduce a supervised pipeline based on ICP-matching of small-scale laser scan patches. It is specially designed for geo-monitoring applications and allows to improve the spatial resolution as well as the network geometry of monitoring networks in inaccessible hazardous areas in the mountains, where the installation of a sufficient number of targets is difficult. We apply our method to two datasets. The first is a monitoring setup in the laboratory, where we establish the parameters for the supervised patch selection and demonstrate how the network geometry is improved. Second is the real case study of Mt. Hochvogel, where the proposed method helps to clearly improve the spatial resolution of deformation vectors.

Published: September 2024

The study of cognitive mechanisms involved in the process of developing communicative competencies, particularly from the perspective of dialogue theory, is relevant and necessary to improve communicative activity and its effectiveness. The purpose of this research is to study the cognitive-communicative interaction in the process of dialogical communication and the cognitive conditionality of the development of communicative competencies. The methods of frame, cognitive and communicative analysis, and the analytical-synthetic method were used in the study. The main frame structures of dialogic speech were considered: using one frame and similar ways of verbalization, using one frame and different ways of verbal expression, and using two frames with different thematic or semantic content. The study examined cognitive-communicative interaction in dialogic communication and the cognitive basis for developing communicative competencies. Among the important conclusions is the discovery of three primary dialogical unity frame structures. It has been found that cognitive functions affect successful communication. The study demonstrated how cognitive-communicative interaction fosters the development of communicative competencies. It was also determined that dialogue structure relates to response shifts represented as interrelated frames. The study concludes that future research should focus on studying cognitions in communicative contexts and improving foreign language communication.
Attempts at a Marxist Critique of Cancellation
Authors: GuhaRoy SuddhaSatwa
Published: September 2024

This paper advances a Marxist critique of the politics of cancellation and raises concerns about the possible development of a cancel culture. Rather than delving into debates on freedom of speech, crucial though they are, this paper focuses on the pragmatics of the political tool – its goals, mechanisms, effects, and the underlying reasoning. From a Marxist perspective, it is essential to analyse cancellation and cancel culture holistically, considering their rationale, the mechanism, the objectives, and the impacts, along with their relationship to the material conditions of society. Such an analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of any historical development and argues that addressing political problems in the long term requires such a holistic approach, including the development of relevant productive forces. If cancellation evolves into a culture, it may give rise to a polity that reinforces market relations. Within the framework of historical materialism, this would be a case of the superstructure supporting the base, turning politics into a matter of private opinions, which is far from ideal. The paper concludes with some practical considerations.
Roboterautomation im Baukastensystem
Authors: Hertel Matthias , Hildebrand Torsten , Goldhahn Leif
Published: September 2024

In order to ensure the competitiveness of small and medium-sized companies, flexible automation solutions in production are required that are cost-effective and can be controlled intuitively. Personnel bottlenecks in the workpiece loading of machine tools, especially older existing machines, should be counteracted through automation. In the ZIM-funded cooperation project “AuRo-Toolbox” (16KN091730), a digitally configurable robot automation system was developed, that can be installed by the applying company itself and can implement pick & place tasks safely and efficiently. For this purpose standard modules were designed, which can be expanded with additional application-specific modules using the plug & play principle. A special feature is the development of a new type of communication interface between robot and machine tool, which completely eliminates the need of retrofit older machine tools and thus enables CE-compliant continued operation of these machines with an existing certification.
Mehr Interoperabilität durch einheitliche Machine-Vision-Standards
Authors: Hopfner Thomas
Published: September 2024

Solutions and products for the industry need to be highly interoperable to provide maximum benefit to users. Achieving this goal is primarily possible through common standards and interfaces. These also facilitate smooth collaboration between different manufacturers, leading to a lively exchange of know-how and enriching the market. Moreover, unified standards offer an added level of flexibility as they counteract the dependency on proprietary solutions. Standardization is particularly beneficial for machine vision applications, where many different components interact. Customers benefit from easy-to-use, seamless applications, reducing complexity and increasing process efficiency.
SOCIAL WORKERS’ VIEWS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LEGISLATION THAT GUIDES SERVICE DELIVERY TO CHILD-HEADED HOUSEHOLDS
Authors: Mkhavele Minah , de Jager Elzahne Simeon , Mokwele Roslind
Published: September 2024

The National Plan of Action (Department of Social Development, 2021) identified child-headed households (CHHs) as an increasing social problem in South Africa. Section 150 of the Children’s Act, 38 of 2005 (Republic of South Africa [RSA], 2005), and the Children’s Amendment Act, 41 of 2007 (RSA, 2007), consider children living in CHHs as children in need of care and protection, and give guidelines on services to these households. Currently, there is no certainty about the successful implementation of these guidelines to address the needs of this target group. This study, therefore, used a qualitative research approach with semi-structured interviews with social workers to investigate their views on applying section 137 of Children’s Amendment Act, 41 of 2007 (RSA, 2007). This study found that there were gaps to address in the social work services provided to CHHs and the implementation of the Act. Some of the main recommendations included continued training and research on the implementation of the Act. Keywords: child-headed households, guidelines, legislation, service delivery, social workers

Effectiveness of Audit Committee Features to Asymmetric Information with Audit Quality as Moderating
Authors: Yamin Tjiendradjaja , Aryati Titik
Published: September 2024

Purpose: The study aims to explore the effectiveness of audit committee features, such as the total members, meeting frequency, financial competence, and independence, as a determinant of asymmetric information with audit quality as moderating.
Design/Method/Approach: We employed a regression model with panel data, analyzing 260 firm-year observations for entities whose shares traded on the Indonesia Stock Market from 2017 to 2021, all of which fall under the category of public interest entities.
Findings: Our examination uncovered meeting frequency was statistically significant in reducing asymmetric information, and audit quality enhanced the interrelation of the meeting frequency, reducing asymmetric information. In contrast, our examination could not uncover any correlation between the total members, financial competence, and independence with asymmetric information. In addition, the study demonstrated no relationship between audit quality enhancing correlation between the total members, financial competence, and independence to mitigate asymmetric information.
Theoretical Implications: The study supports agency and asymmetric information theories by demonstrating the significant role of oversight through frequent meetings in mitigating conflicts between agents and principals. This academic support enriches the existing literature and provides valuable insights for future research in the field.
Practical Implications: Our findings suggest that the regular occurrence of dialogue between audit committees and management needs to be increased to provide better oversight and ultimately improve organizational performance, benefiting stakeholders and the board. Finally, our study implies the current regulations in Indonesia have not succeeded in encouraging the efficacy of audit committee monitoring through other features of audit committees as mandated by Indonesian regulation. Hence, regulatory breakthroughs by policymakers are essential to foster the performance of audit committees.
Originality/Value: Our study provides a novel perspective on how audit committee features influence asymmetric information by providing insights by investigating the involvement of audit quality as a moderating factor.
Research Limitations/Future Research: While our study may be limited in its applicability due to the constrained data sourced from the Indonesian Stock Market, the potential insufficiency of proxy variables in apprising audit committee efficacy, and the restricted use of control variables, addressing these constraints should be a focus of future studies to achieve a more comprehensive understanding.

Published: September 2024

Industrial development in Indonesia has caused increased pollution, including water pollution by heavy metals, one of which is the metal ion Cu(II). Cellulose acetate composite membranes have been widely used to overcome the problem of Cu(II) metal ion content in water, however, studies on the performance of cellulose acetate membranes with various types of chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) composites have not been widely reported. This research aims to analyze the characteristics of cellulose acetate composite membranes with chitosan, PEG, and PVA using FTIR and SEM and to determine the performance of these cellulose acetate composite membranes in filtering Cu(II) metal from the resulting rejection values. The membrane was made using the phase inversion method and the composite membrane was made using the dip-coating method. The results of characterization using FTIR showed that there were no new peaks in all cellulose acetate composites, so there were only physical interactions in the composites. SEM analysis shows that the surface of the composite membrane is more irregular and the porosity increases. The performance of the composite membrane in filtering Cu(II) metal is better than the pure cellulose acetate membrane.
Harmonising Worship and Noise: Community Responses to Loudspeaker Regulations in Bali and Manado
Authors: Bukido Rosdalina , Gunawan Edi , Makka Misbahul Munir
Published: September 2024

In multicultural societies, the regulation of worship loudspeakers, particularly those affecting the Muslim community, has sparked significant debate, ranging from strong support to outright rejection. This study seeks to explore the social tensions arising from these regulations, focusing on the culturally diverse regions of Bali and Manado. Employing a qualitative approach, interviews were conducted with religious leaders, community figures, and local government officials to gain insight into the community's reactions. The findings reveal two predominant responses. On one hand, some view the regulations as unnecessary, believing that the established tradition of tolerance has allowed diverse religious practices to coexist peacefully without significant issues related to loudspeakers. On the other hand, others feel that the loudspeaker use is excessive, disturbing their rest and seeking quieter times. Some members of the Muslim community perceive the regulation as discriminatory, noting that other religious groups might also use loudspeakers at higher volumes. This study offers valuable insights for policymakers on how regulatory interventions can influence social harmony in diverse environments, highlighting the importance of adjusting regulations to respect religious diversity and equitably manage public auditory spaces.

The article attempts to determine the position and distinguishing characteristics of mutual insurance companies (MICs) in the social economy. For this purpose, the broader context of the social economy sector in Poland, its distinguishing characteristics, and how it functions are outlined, and the position of MICs in the contemporary model social economy is indicated. The empirical section analyses the social and domestic aspects of MICs as entities in the social economy. The empirical study is qualitative, and subjective elements dominate. The following five aspects of social activity among nine MICs that existed in Poland in 2008 were researched: ‒ the structure and the area of social action, ‒ the people and organisation, ‒ the functioning of the organisation, ‒ its needs and problems, ‒ opinions and moods concerning the perception of the organisation.As a result, the analysis defines the position and character of MICs in the social economy in Poland.

Environmental problems, the results of structural changes in the world economy and technological progress set forth the task of finding factors that stimulate the transition from the continuous growth of energy consumption to decarbonization and energy transition. The aim of the article is to empirically analyze the factors of companies' energy transition policies in different countries of the world, considering the functioning of global value chains (GVCs). The database is sourced from a survey of representatives of more than 15,000 manufacturing companies conducted by the World Bank Group in 2018-20 in 40 countries. The novelty of the analytical research framework proposed in the paper lies in the integrated presentation of factors which are external and internal to firms that influence decisions on energy transition policies and strategies. Descriptive statistics and econometric modeling revealed the presence of energy efficiency and energy transition policy elements in more than 2/3 of the sampled companies with a focus on energy efficiency, reflecting a desire to reduce related costs. Firms' use of fossil fuels is a driver of energy transition. Two alternative energy transition strategies of firms are found: the first emphasizes energy efficiency plans and actions, while the second involves a shift to carbon neutrality. High country income levels deter firms from energy efficiency decisions but incentivize the implementation of carbon emission reduction strategies. The level of environmental efficiency of countries has a positive impact on the "immersion" of their companies in the energy transition agenda. Companies' participation in the GVCs is generally positively associated with the presence of energy efficiency and energy transition policy elements. Government tax regulation and consumer demand are important factors in companies' commitment to energy efficiency and energy transition policies. Signs of the diffusion of incentives to implement energy transition policies along production chains are also identified. The results can be used in the development of industrial policy.
Intangible Assets and US Stock Returns: An analysis using the Index Method, Panel Regression, and Machine Learning
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Haniev A.
Published: September 2024

This study examines the impact of intangible assets on stock returns in the U.S. using the Drucker Institute indices, which assess companies based on customer satisfaction, employee engagement and development, innovation, social responsibility, and financial stability. The relevance of this study lies in the growing importance of considering non-financial indicators in investment decision-making. The objective is to determine how these indices affect stock returns across different sectors. The hypotheses posit that each index has a positive impact. The study employs both panel regression with fixed effects and machine learning methods using XGBoost with Shapley values to analyze data from U.S. companies for the period from June 30, 2016, to June 30, 2023. The results indicate that social responsibility has a broadly positive impact on stock returns across various sectors. Innovation significantly affects returns only in the technology sector. Customer satisfaction and financial stability exhibit varying effects depending on the sector, while employee engagement and development show only negative impacts in the energy sector. The significance of this research lies in its contribution to understanding the role of intangible assets in shaping stock performance. We show that investors can achieve both ethical satisfaction and higher financial returns by prioritizing investments in companies with strong social responsibility records. Additionally, we draw the attention of investors and researchers to the importance of considering sectoral affiliation when analyzing companies. The use of advanced analytical tools, such as XGBoost with Shapley values, underscores the potential of machine learning in uncovering complex relationships in financial data. This approach proves to be highly promising for future research.

RESUMO Objetivos: Avaliar os resultados precoces e tardios do tratamento cirúrgico de pacientes com bronquiectasias, comparando a Cirurgia Torácica Videoassistida (VATS) versus a toracotomia (TO). Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo observacional de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de bronquiectasias. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos de acordo com o acesso cirúrgico TO/VATS. As variáveis coletadas incluíram sexo, idade, sintomas pré-operatórios, etiologia, segmentos envolvidos, CVF e VEF1, tipo de ressecção cirúrgica, complicações, mortalidade e tempo de internação. Os resultados cirúrgicos tardios foram classificados como excelentes, remissão completa dos sintomas; bom, melhora significativa; e pobre, pouca/nenhuma melhoria. Resultados: 108 ressecções cirúrgicas (103 pacientes). Grupo TO 54 pacientes (52,4%) vs. VATS 49 (47,6%). Observou-se alto percentual de complicações, mas não foi encontrada diferença entre os grupos TO (29,6%) e VATS (24,5%). O tempo de internação pós-operatório foi menor no grupo VATS (5,4 dias) versus o grupo TO (8,7 dias) (p=0,029). 75% dos pacientes tiveram seguimento tardio; os resultados foram considerados excelentes em 71,4%, bom em 26% e ruim em 2,6%. Quanto à distribuição das bronquiectasias, o percentual excelente foi de 82,1% em pacientes com bronquiectasias localizadas e 47,5% com bronquiectasias não localizadas, p=0,003. Conclusões: VATS mostrou resultados semelhantes em relação à morbidade, comparado ao TO. No entanto, a VATS foi relacionada a internações hospitalares mais curtas, refletindo a recuperação precoce. Os resultados tardios foram excelentes na maioria dos pacientes, sendo melhores em pacientes com bronquiectasias localizadas. A VATS deve ser considerada uma abordagem preferível para a ressecção pulmonar de bronquiectasias sempre que possível.

Resumen: El trabajo busca determinar si la crisis, diagnosticada por Husserl, es un obstáculo para la felicidad. A través de esto, explicitamos conexiones entre ética y generatividad poco investigadas por la literatura especializada. Comenzamos exponiendo la teoría de la felicidad de Husserl, con el fin de utilizarla como marco teórico para el argumento posterior. Proseguimos exponiendo el concepto de crisis en Husserl como uno de carácter generativo, mostrando cómo ésta tiene consecuencias prácticas que merman la posibilidad de los individuos de alcanzar la autonomía y la felicidad. Finalizamos exponiendo el modo en que Husserl ha concebido que la fenomenología participa en la resolución de la crisis.
A autopercepção da imagem corporal dos adolescentes brasileiros nos anos de 2009 a 2019 segundo a Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar (PeNSE)
Authors: Antunes Juliana Teixeira , Lisboa Jéssica Vieira
Published: September 2024

Este estudo analisa a prevalência da autopercepção da imagem corporal relatada pelos adolescentes entre os anos de 2009 e 2019 segundo sexo e região com base na Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar (PeNSE). Foi realizada uma análise epidemiológica, descritiva de série temporal com medidas de prevalência e tendência de como os adolescentes se percebem em relação ao próprio corpo, conforme os dados fornecidos pelas edições da PeNSE nos anos de 2009 a 2019. A prevalência dos adolescentes que se consideravam “normais” atingiu 47,6% (IC95%: 46,1-49,1) em 2019, representando uma diferença negativa de 12,5 pontos percentuauis (p.p.) e uma variação de 20,7% em relação ao ano de 2009. Em 2019, 31,4% (IC95%: 30,0-32,9) dos meninos relataram sentir-se magros ou muito magros, representando uma diferença de 8,4p.p. em relação a 2009. Já as meninas tiveram uma prevalência de 28,6% (IC95%: 26,1-31,1) em sentir-se gordas ou muito gordas no ano de 2019, representando uma variação de 7,3p.p. em relação a 2009. Nos últimos anos, houve uma mudança na autopercepção corporal dos adolescentes, com redução nas prevalências daqueles que se consideravam “normais” e um aumento entre aqueles que se consideravam magros ou muito magros para o sexo masculino e gordos ou muito gordos para o sexo feminino. Tais resultados apontam para a importância de investigar as consequências da autopercepção magra ou muito magra e gorda ou muito gorda na vida dos adolescentes.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the effect of breastfeeding on reducing Pentavalent vaccination pain in infants and to identify the necessary breastfeeding interval for antinociceptive action. Method: Open parallel randomized clinical trial. Ninety mother-infant dyads participated, distributed into intervention group 1 (n = 30), which breastfed five minutes before vaccination; intervention group 2 (n = 30), which breastfed five minutes before and during vaccination; and control group (n = 30), which did not breastfeed. The outcome variable was the pain level measured by the FLACC Scale. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics, applying Fisher’s Exact, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn’s multiple comparison tests, with 0.05 significance level. Results: Pain induced by the Pentavalent vaccine was reduced in intervention groups 1 and 2 (mean pain of 6.06 versus 3.83, respectively) compared to the control group (mean of pain of 7.43), which was significant for intervention group 2 (p < 0.001), indicating that, to achieve lower levels of pain, breastfeeding should be carried out before and during vaccination. Conclusion: Longer breastfeeding, conducted five minutes before and during vaccination, reduces the pain induced by the Pentavalent vaccine. No vaccination risks were identified to outweigh the benefits. These results endorse that health professionals should encourage breastfeeding at least five minutes before and during vaccine injection for an antinociception effect.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar o efeito da amamentação na redução da dor induzida pela vacina Pentavalente em lactentes e identificar o intervalo de tempo da amamentação necessário para sua ação antinocicepção. Método: Ensaio clínico randomizado paralelo aberto. Participaram 90 binômios mãe-lactente, distribuídos em grupo intervenção 1 (n = 30), que realizou a amamentação cinco minutos antes da vacinação; grupo intervenção 2 (n = 30), realizou a amamentação cinco minutos antes e durante a vacinação; e grupo controle (n = 30), que não realizou a amamentação. A variável desfecho foi o nível de dor mensurado pela Escala FLACC. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio de estatística descritiva e inferencial, com aplicação dos testes Exato de Fisher, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal-Wallis e de comparações múltiplas de Dunn, adotando nível de significância de 0,05. Resultados: A dor induzida pela vacina Pentavalente se reduziu nos grupos intervenção 1 e 2 (média de dor de 6,06 versus 3,83, respectivamente) em comparação ao grupo controle (média de dor de 7,43), o que foi significativo para o grupo intervenção 2 (p < 0,001), indicando que, para alcançar menores níveis de dor, a amamentação deve ocorrer antes e durante a vacinação. Conclusão: A amamentação mais prolongada, realizada cinco minutos antes e durante todo o processo de vacinação, reduz a dor induzida pela vacina Pentavalente. Em sua aplicação não foram identificados riscos capazes de superar os benefícios de tal prática. Esses resultados endossam a importância de os profissionais de saúde incentivarem essa prática no tempo mínimo de cinco minutos antes e durante a aplicação de vacinas injetáveis para obtenção do efeito antinocicepção.

Abstract Aim In this study, we investigated the impact of an episodic marine intrusion on the water column characteristics of Jurubatiba lagoon, a tropical coastal ecosystem, for 12 months following a sandbar breaching event to elucidate the duration of its effects. Methods Monthly, we sampled the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics along the water column for one year after a sandbar breaching event and seawater inflow. We assessed the temporal (monthly) and spatial (along depth profiles) associations among these variables and the temporal correlation among vertical heterogeneities in these variables and environmental drivers of stratification. Results Marine intrusion resulted in salt wedges formation in the short-term, leading to stratification in dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, and chlorophyll-a concentration along the water column for at least four months. However, temperature and solar incidence also emerged as crucial factors associated with vertical heterogeneity in limnological variables, influencing water density and pH throughout the study period. Precipitation and wind speed had only marginal effects on thermal and ectogenic stratifications, probably mediated by water colour, nutrient inputs, water column depth and lagoon’s orientation in the landscape. Conclusions Our data unveiled that, despite their shallowness and wind exposure, coastal lagoons can exhibit considerable vertical heterogeneities in limnological variables due to various climatic and hydrodynamic aspects. Notably, the effects of marine intrusions on salinity and ectogenic column stratification can persist for several months, affecting water quality and, probably, biotic communities and ecosystem functioning. Once human activities and climate change may intensify marine intrusions on coastal lagoons, understanding spatiotemporal dynamics and their drivers is fundamental to anticipating their effects and conserving such vulnerable ecosystems.

The right to respect for private life is one of the fundamental values in modern society. That is why it is im-portant to ensure its reliable protection. In European practice, in particular, in the practice of the European Court of Human Rights (echr), clear approaches to understanding the essence and constituent elements of the right to private life have been elaborated. However, in Ukraine, despite the establishment of the right to private (personal) life at the constitutional level, the approach to its ensuring is not perfect. In Ukraine, there is no clear definition of the scope and constituent elements of the right to private life, there are ongoing discussions regar-ding the very concept of “private life”. To improve the current situation in Ukraine, it is worth taking into account the echr practice, which clearly defines the content and constituent elements of the right to private life. It is also necessary to consider the echr practice when ensuring the right to personal data protection, which is an important element of the right to respect for private life. The personal data protection in Ukraine also needs some improvements based on modern European practice in order to bring it into line with European standards.

This research aims to discover the role of skin diseases in the narrative structure of M. Bakir’s Hikayat Agung Sakti as well as its surrounding ideological, social, political, and cultural contexts. Mieke Bal’s narratological theory was applied to map and analyze the elements of the fabula: event, time, actor, and location. Methodologically, this research consisted of two levels: text and context. At the first level, lingual data were collected using the note-taking technique and then explained interpretatively using relevant theoretical concepts. At the second level, data were collected through literature study on ideology and context. The text and context data were explained through dialectics and interreference. This research yielded several main results. First, skin diseases (itches, smallpox, scabs, and Tinea corporis) are attached to the elements of the fabula. These diseases change circumstances, shape events and time, infect the characters (the Gods), and change the locations (from heaven to earth). Skin diseases were found to be the building block of the narrative structure. In this role, skin diseases become a means of articulating Islamism. This narrative is linked to the development of Islam in Malay-speaking lands and political resistance to polytheistic Hinduism, which is placed in opposition to the monotheistic Islam which places Allah as the only deity. This ideology was articulated and written down as a literary work to be disseminated among local Straits-born Chinese. This is also contextually related to the issues of manuscript rental, diseases in Malay tradition, and spread of diseases in Batavia in the 19th century.
EKSPRESI BAHASA EVALUATIF PADA ARTIKEL ILMIAH BERBAHASA INDONESIA

Published: September 2024

Authors of scientific articles are faced with two opposing demands: objectivity and critical evaluation when expressing reality and truth. To date, no evaluative language mapping has been performed on Indonesian scientific articles which can accurately describe an article’s degree of objectivity so that it can be used as a tool for objectivizing and negotiating truth. Using the appraisal framework, this research aims to identify and examine these two opposing orientations as they appear in Indonesian scientific articles. The qualitative approach was applied to perform in-depth analysis of interpersonal functions in scientific articles. Data in the form of Indonesian scientific articles were obtained from top ten highest impact factor journals which are accredited and indexed by the Science and Technology Index (SINTA), representing ten different scientific disciplines. Results show that the authors could not completely avoid subjectivity. However, objectivity was clearly sought through five strategies: passivation, verbalization, prioritization of verbs before explicit expressions of affect, nominalization, and prioritization of nouns before explicit expressions of affect. Using the appraisal framework, the modality theory in Indonesian (Alwi 1992), and the lexical semantic theory (Cruse 1986) as bases for data analysis, this research offers a taxonomic evaluative language map of Indonesian scientific articles. This research used the appraisal framework (Martin and White, 2005), especially the attitude and graduation system, to define boundaries while combining objective and evaluative- critical language in three parameters: (1) distance between the personal evaluation source and the evaluative item; (2) the prominence of agentivity and a person’s involvement in the actualization of events; and (3) the root meaning of evaluative lexemes.
Limiting Properties of Linear Control Systems, Synthesis by LQR Methods According to Quadratic Criteria with One Variable Coefficient
Authors: Lovchakov V. I.
Published: September 2024

The work provides a comparative analysis of the properties of optimal control systems for linear stationary single-channel objects, the distinctive feature of which is that the numerator polynomial of the object’s transfer function is Hurwitz. Systems are synthesized by two main methods of the theory of analytical design of optimal regulators (ADOR) — methods the Letov-Kalman and A. A. Krasovsky, which use quality functionals based on an integral criterion containing only two terms: the square of the object’s control signal and the square of its output coordinate with a weighting coefficient q . The limiting properties of the synthesized systems are studied at q q → ∞ . The common known property of these systems, for brevity called the Letov-Kalman and Krasovsky systems, is the property of their stability at the limiting value of the weight coefficient and, accordingly, an infinitely large increase in the total gain of these systems, which for them ensures obtaining a given value static control error. Other analyzed properties of the systems turned out to be significantly different and even mutually opposite. For example, at limiting values q q → ∞ , the coefficients of the optimal Letov-Kalman controller do not depend on the parameters of the object, while the coefficients of the Krasovsky controller, on the contrary, are determined exclusively by the parameters of the object. We also note that, unlike Letov-Kalman control systems, the time of transient processes of Krasovsky systems at q q → ∞ cannot be reduced less than a certain finite value, despite the absence of restrictions on the magnitude of the control signal. In this work, with the aim of combining in one control system the indicated positive, but contradictory properties of the analyzed systems, the so-called combined ADOR method is proposed. Its main idea is to represent the control signal of an object by two terms, which are then sequentially determined by using two main methods of the ADOR theory, and at the first stage of synthesis there is control using the Letov-Kalman method, which ensures the direct application of the combined synthesis method to unstable objects. This synthesis method, when using a quality functional with one variable weight coefficient, allows for the considered control objects of order n m 5 to design systems with given values of the static error and control time, for which overregulation does not exceed 5.2 %.

This article investigates the pivotal role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in driving technological development across Europe, highlighting how the collaboration between public institutions and private enterprises serves as a catalyst for innovation and economic growth. By analyzing a range of successful case studies and conducting an extensive review of existing literature, this study identifies the key factors that contribute to the effectiveness of PPPs and their substantial impact on technological advancement. The research reveals that PPPs significantly enhance resource allocation, allowing for more efficient use of financial and human capital. They facilitate risk sharing, which encourages private sector participation in high-risk technological projects that might otherwise lack sufficient funding or support. Moreover, PPPs promote knowledge transfer between the public and private sectors, fostering a culture of innovation and enabling the rapid deployment of new technologies. Different models of PPPs are examined to understand their implementation in various contexts, shedding light on the diverse approaches taken by European countries. The study also addresses the challenges faced in establishing and maintaining PPPs, such as regulatory hurdles, financial constraints, and coordination issues. Strategies for overcoming these barriers are discussed, providing practical insights for enhancing the success of PPPs. The findings underscore the critical importance of a supportive policy environment in nurturing PPPs. Effective regulatory frameworks, financial incentives, and clear governance structures are essential for maximizing the potential of PPPs. The article concludes with strategic recommendations for policymakers, aimed at strengthening PPP frameworks, fostering a conducive environment for sustainable technological innovation, and ensuring that the benefits of technological advancements are equitably distributed across society. By offering a comprehensive understanding of how PPPs drive technological development, this article contributes to the broader discourse on innovation policy and economic development in Europe. It underscores the necessity for continued collaboration between the public and private sectors to address the complex challenges of technological progress and to harness its potential for societal benefit.

Covid-19 has affected millions globally, leading to substantial illness and mortality. Chest X-rays serve as a rapid and effective means of tracking the progression of Covid-19. However, diagnosing Covid-19 from a chest X-ray can be complex, and even skilled radiologists may not always provide a conclusive diagnosis. In our research, we utilized a dataset comprising X-ray images of Covid-19, lung opacity, viral pneumonia, and healthy patients to assess the efficacy of various vision transformer-based models. A modified version of the Swin Transformer achieved an accuracy of 98.9% and a precision of 99.2% on Covid-19 images in a four-way classification task. Our findings are competitive with cutting-edge techniques for diagnosing Covid-19. This method could aid healthcare professionals in screening patients for Covid-19, thereby enabling quicker treatment and improved health outcomes for those affected by the virus.

3-DIMENSIONAL AUTOMATIC SEGMENTATION OF PITUARITY TUMOR USING DEEP LEARNING
Authors: Altun Sinan
Published: September 2024

The development of a benign pituitary tumor progresses very slowly. Due to this slow development, it may take time to diagnose the patient. The Tumor that will form in the Pituitary Gland, which is effective in the secretion of many hormones and located behind the optic nerves, may cover 2/3 of the Pituitary Gland. In people for whom hormonal balance is essential, due to Pituitary Tumor, Cushing's syndrome diseases can be seen as a result of irregular menstruation, visual disturbances, headache, imbalance in breast milk production, and excess ACTH production. Excess ACTH can lead to excessive weight gain, the appearance of fragile bone structure, skin scars, and emotional changes. The Pituitary Tumor is located in the deepest part of the brain, and it is tough to perform a surgical operation there. Semantic segmentation using deep learning techniques can be successful. With our study, automatic segmentation of the Tumor with an IoU score of up to 98% was possible. This success is relatively high, and promises hope for the CAD system to be created for Pulmonary tumors. The 3D-Unet technique developed recently, can perform automatic segmentation in 3 dimensions. This study aims to automatically segment a Pituitary Tumor, which requires a complex operation, with the 3D-Unet model.
