Authors: Belozerova A. A. , Bazyuk D. A. , Bome N. A.
Published: May 2024

Background. The need to increase the genetic diversity of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is determined by its value and cultivation scope, which is especially important in the context of the changing climate.

Material and methods. The study was carried out in 2021 and 2022 at the experimental site of the Lake Kuchak biostation located in Nizhnetavdinsky District, Tyumen Province (57°20ʼ57.3”N, 66°03ʼ21.8”E). Mutant forms were obtained by treating seeds of accessions ʻZernogradsky 813ʼ, Dz02-129 and C.I. 10995 with solutions of the chemical mutagen phosphemide at concentrations of 0.002% (2·10–3 М) and 0.01% (1·10–2 М). The mutants of the fifth (M5) and sixth (M6) generations were evaluated for a set of traits valuable for breeding in comparison with the original forms and reference cultivars ʻAchaʼ and ʻAbalakʼ. The main productivity characters were analyzed in the laboratory, and breeding indices were calculated (ear potential index, Canadian index, ear linear density index, Mexican index, plant productivity index, and Finnish-Scandinavian index).

Results and conclusion. Most of the studied mutants under moisture deficit and elevated temperature conditions were superior to the original forms in their productivity characters. Mutant plant samples with stable manifestation of those traits, irrespective of the growing season conditions, were selected. Assessment of the genotype–environment interaction using breeding indices made it possible to identify promising mutants for inclusion in breeding programs. Correlation analysis helped to identify indices closely related to grain yield: Canadian index (r = 0.85), Mexican index (r = 0.76), and plant productivity index (r = 0.70). They can be recommended for selection of stress-resistant barley forms.

Published: May 2024

Background. Potato breeding involves planned artificial hybridization between previously selected parental lines. A way to make potato breeding more efficient is to use the diversity of the germplasm and broaden the gene pool of parental lines. Interspecific potato hybrids originated on the elite potato germplasm display a set of valuable traits. The current challenge is to assess the performance of potato hybrids under specific soil and climate conditions to clarify their breeding value.

The objective of the study was to evaluate potato hybrids in the environments of Kamchatka Territory according to a set of traits, identify the best parental lines, develop new hybrid combinations, and select promising breeding material.

Materials and methods. Eleven potato hybrids from VIR were studied over three years (2020–2022) in the fields of Kamchatka Research Institute of Agriculture. The hybrids were benchmarked against two reference potato cultivars, ‘Fresco’ and ‘Vulkan’, belonging to the early and mid-early maturity groups, respectively. Crosses between the hybrids and 28 potato cultivars were carried out in the greenhouse. The new hybrid material was tested in a preliminary trial nursery for yield and earliness.

Results. Hybrid 117-2 was better in yield (899 g/plant) than cvs. ‘Vulkan’ and ‘Fresco’ (700–739 g/plant). Hybrids 94-5, 99-10- 1, 8-1-2004, 8-3-2004, 8-5-2004, 135-3-2005, 135-5-2005, 99-6-6, and 134-2-2006 in most traits matched the potato cultivars, manifesting good berry formation and seed setting when crossed. Out of 140 crosses between 11 hybrids and 28 cultivars, 35 crosses between 10 hybrids and 13 cultivars were successful. Most hybrids were effectively used in crossings as maternal forms.

Conclusion. VIR’s hybrids 94-5, 8-1-2004, and 8-5-2004 proved the most promising as source material for the development of new early potatoes under the conditions of Kamchatka Territory.

Authors: Kiseleva G. K. , Ulyanovskaya E. V. , Skhalyakho T. V. , Karavaeva A. V.
Published: May 2024

Background. Physiological and biochemical research on winter stress resistance of apple-tree cultivars of different ecogeographic origin under global warming is important for identifying the most adaptable genotypes for use in breeding practice. Such resistance is associated with the content of carbohydrates and anthocyanins, and the activity of peroxidase.

Materials and methods. Two winter apple-tree cultivars developed at the North Caucasian Federal Scientific Center of Horticulture, Viticulture, Wine making (NCFSCHVW) and 3 foreign winter cultivars were studied using conventional physiological and biochemical methods.

Results and discussion. The apple-tree cultivars ‘Orfey’ and ‘Prikubanskoye’ bred at the NCFSCHVW, when compared with foreign cvs. ‘Enterprise’, ‘Florina’ and ‘Ligol’, demonstrated higher contents of total water (by 2.5 %), starch (by 9.5 mg/g) and water-soluble sugars (by 19.3 mg/g) in shoots during the winter period. In the process of wintering, the anthocyanin content increased 2.9–4.3 times in the domestic cultivars, and 2.4–2.8 times in foreign ones. No regularities were found between the level of total peroxidase activity and winter hardiness of the studied apple cultivars.

Conclusion. Cvs. ‘Orfey’ and ‘Prikubanskoye’ showed increased adaptability to the winter conditions in the unstable climate of Southern Russia, and can be recommended for cultivation in Krasnodar Territory and use in breeding practice.

Published: May 2024

Background. The pattern and duration of the grape plant growing season depends both on biological characteristics of plants and the environmental conditions of their habitat. Studying meteorological conditions and their effect on the growing phases of grape cultivars of different origin is important to optimize the deployment of these cultivars.

Materials and methods. Eight introduced and domestic grape cultivars served as the research material. Phenological observations were carried out according to M. A. Lazarevsky, ANOVA was performed according to B. A. Dospekhov, the dependence of the duration of growing phases on weather conditions was assessed using pairwise correlations, and Student’s t-test was applied to determine statistical significance. Meteorological data were taken from the agrometeorological bulletins for Krasnodar Territory. The studies were conducted in the period from 2018 to 2021 under the agroecological conditions of the Black Sea viticulture zone.

Results. Specific features of the temperature regime for grape growing phases in the environments of the Black Sea viticulture zone were ascertained. Indicators of heat supply and duration of the growing season according to Lazarevsky were used to identify the studied cultivars as early (‘Podarok Dmitriya’, ‘Reliance’, ‘Brigantina’ and ‘Anapskiy Ranniy’), medium (‘Concord’ and ‘Venus’), mid-late (‘Prikubanskiy’), and late (‘Kyoho’) genotypes. The sum of active temperatures required for the growing season of early cultivars was 2522–2603°C, for medium ones 2755–2760°C, for mid-late ones 2835°C, and for late ones 2970°C. According to the international classification, ‘Podarok Dmitriya’, ‘Reliance’, ‘Brigantina’ and ‘Anapskiy Ranniy’ are early, ‘Concord’, ‘Venus’ and ‘Prikubanskiy’ are mid-early, and ‘Kyoho’ is medium-ripening. All cultivars had a close direct relationship between the duration of their growing phases and the sum of air temperatures above +10°C.
Climate change and crop yield of oats (Avena sativa L.) in Yakutia
Authors: Petrova L. V. , Novikova L. Yu. , Alekseeva A. V. , Loskutov I. G.
Published: May 2024

Background. Yakutia lies within a risky farming region, where both low temperatures and insufficient moisture are the limiting factors. Oat is the main cereal fodder crop in Yakutia. Climate warming observed in recent decades has been affecting oat cultivation in different climatic areas of Yakutia. The objective of the study was to analyze weather and climate factors affecting oat yield in the republic during the past decade.

Materials and methods. The study covered the data of 2014–2021 on the yield of zoned oat cultivars in three Yakutian variety trial sites located in the Central, Transfluvial and Middle Lena agroclimatic zones, and agronomic characteristics of three oat cultivars in the Central zone in 1999–2021. Variance, correlation, and regression analyses were applied.

Results and conclusion. The study showed that in 2014–2021 there was a decrease in oat yields in Yakutia. The correlation analysis showed that this was due to climate changes: active warming, and a tendency towards a decrease in precipitation during the oat growing season. The regression analysis of the oat crop structure in the Central Zone in 1999–2021 confirmed that all yield components depended on the moisture availability, and it was the decrease in precipitation that led to a reduction in such indicators as 1000 grain weight, plant height, panicle length, and yield. A significant dependence on humidification conditions indicates the need to continue breeding work towards the development of drought-resistant oat cultivars adapted to the specific agroclimatic environments of Yakutia.

Published: May 2024

Background: Disaster-prone areas are areas that have the potential for natural disasters such as earthquakes, mountain eruptions, landslides caused by activity or movement from the base of the earth. Understanding the potential for natural disasters in each region as one of the anticipatory steps to minimize the number of victims of natural disasters. Precise and accurate information is needed for disaster management. The slope of the area is quite steep, and road access to villages and tourist attractions is vulnerable to landslides. The current disaster incident information reporting system still applies the conventional model. The community also experiences difficulties in receiving information and submitting reports regarding village conditions.
Purpose: This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of smart health villages in improving disaster preparedness.
Method: The research design used a pre-experiment with a pre-test and post-test design approach with a sample size of 64 volunteers who were taken using purposive sampling. The independent variable in this study is Smart Health Village and the dependent variable is the voluntary task force's ability to preparedness disaster. The research instrument used a questionnaire for each variable. Data analysis in this study is the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The implementation of this activity consists of the design stage, application creation, system design, socialization and training, and trial.
Results: The research results showed that the voluntary task force's preparedness was in a good category as much as 88% and as enough as 12% with p value = 0.000. This application system smart health village based on the web allows both the community (users), admin (task force), and verifiers (village officials) to access anywhere and at any time, thus increasing the capability and quality of human resources in disaster preparedness and disaster-prone areas.
Conclusion: Based on the results it can be concluded that smart health village can improve ability in preparedness of disaster in disaster- prone areas thus reducing impact of anxiety and and panic due to disaster.

Objective: Sustained physical activity is crucial for health and is often referred to as 'physical activity maintenance.' However, this concept lacks consensus, possibly due limited study of the 'boundary conditions' under which this phenomenon occurs. This gap limits both theoretical development and interventional applications. This study examined the boundary conditions of two operational definitions of physical activity maintenance (activity threshold and timescale) and how their formulation impacts the detection of sustained physical activity phenomena. Methods: We analyzed 352 time series (length=182 days) of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) collected daily with Fitbit from participants in a weight loss intervention. Two activity thresholds were defined based on participants’ baseline intentions and physical activity levels: a) 150 minutes of MVPA/week for participants below this threshold at baseline (subsample BL-Inactive; n=101), and b) current level of MVPA/week for those exceeding 150 minutes of MVPA/week at baseline (subsample BL-Active; n=251). Regression trees were used to examine changes in physical activity trajectories using different boundary definitions of timescales (7, 14, 28, and 56 days). Results: At finer-grained timescales (7 days), physical activity exhibited repeated fluctuations, with sustained activity patterns in 27% of BL-Inactive and 5% of BL-Active participants. At coarser-grained timescales (56 days), activity trajectories were more stable, with sustained activity percentages increasing to 71% and 26%. Conclusions: Varying boundary conditions reveal different ways of conceptualizing sustained physical activity phenomena, leading to plausibly distinct conclusions about behavioral maintenance. These results highlight the importance of carefully studying boundary conditions as critical for robust theory and practice development.
Early Predictors of Mathematical Competencies Development from Infancy to Preschool Age: A Systematic Review on Longitudinal Effects
Authors: Besser Nadine , Dornheim Dorothea , Lehrl Simone
Published: May 2024

This systematic review addresses the challenge of directing effective efforts toward promoting early mathematical competencies during early childhood by examining diverse concepts of influencing factors in infancy and toddlerhood along with their predictive relations with preschool mathematical competencies. The review spans 84 articles, identifying 12 categories of influencing factors across family-, childcare- and child-related factors. The results reveal that the relationship between preschool mathematical competencies and early childhood environment varies based on the different definitions of the influencing factors. The review provides insights into the impacts of early experiences on the development of later mathematical competencies. The findings of this review underscore the need for targeted research and actionable strategies to enhance early mathematical competencies.

Detecting errors and adapting behavior accordingly constitutes an integral aspect of cognition. Previous studies have linked neural correlates of error processing (e.g., error-related negativity (ERN) and error-related positivity (Pe)) to task performance and broader behavioral constructs, but few studies examined how these associations manifest in adolescence. In this study, we examined neural error processing markers and their behavioral associations in an adolescent sample (N = 143, M_age = 18.0 years, range 11-25 years), employing a stop signal task. Linear regressions were conducted using bootstrap resampling to explore associations between ERN/Pe peak amplitudes and latencies, stop accuracy, stop signal reaction time (SSRT), and post-error slowing, as well as self-reported substance-related risks and problems and externalizing problems. After adjusting for age and sex, smaller Pe amplitude and later Pe latency were associated with longer SSRT, and later Pe latency was associated with lower task accuracy. This might indicate that the Pe, which is thought to reflect conscious error processing, reflects task performance on a response inhibition task better than the ERN, which reflects unconscious error processing. After correcting for multiple testing, there were no associations between ERN/Pe parameters and substance-related or externalizing problems, and no age interactions for these associations were detected.
Tracking the mind’s eyes: Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Domain-General and Domain-Specific Visual Mental Imagery
Authors: Spagna Alfredo , Liu Jianghao , He Chen , Bartolomeo Paolo
Published: May 2024

When we relive our memories, enjoy a novel, create a painting, or predict whether our car will fit in a parking spot, we use our “Mind’s Eye” to engage in Visual Mental Imagery (VMI). The current consensus is that VMI depends crucially on early visual areas. By contrast, longstanding evidence from neurological patients demonstrates that vivid VMI is possible even with no contribution from these areas. Instead, VMI can be impaired by left temporal damage. In a meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies, we discovered VMI-associated activity, not only in fronto-parietal areas, where it had been detected by earlier studies, but also in a previously undescribed functional region of the left ventrotemporal cortex, which we have called the Fusiform Imagery Node (FIN). The role of this region in VMI was apparent in a ultra-high field 7T fMRI that showed activation in left-hemisphere fronto-parietal areas, the relevant domain-preferring areas in the ventral temporal cortex partly overlapping with the perceptual domain-preferring areas, and the domain-general FIN. These recent results make this the ideal moment to build a new neurocognitive model of voluntary VMI, reliant on a heterarchical neural architecture that mixes domain-general and domain-specific mechanisms. In this study, we will identify the functional role of cortical nodes in VMI-related networks using MEG in neurotypical participants, and we will ascertain the temporal dynamics of the relevant neural processes associated with domain-specific VMI. Results will be compared and contrasted against predictions from competing models of visual mental imagery, providing new hypotheses for the mechanisms underlying this function, and building a bridge to broader theories of conscious awareness.
Qualia and the Formal Structure of Meaning
Authors: Arsiwalla Xerxes D.
Published: May 2024

This work explores the hypothesis that subjectively attributed meaning constitutes the phenomenal content of conscious experience. That is, phenomenal content is semantic. This form of subjective meaning manifests as an intrinsic and non-representational character of qualia. Empirically, subjective meaning is ubiquitous in conscious experiences. We point to phenomenological studies that lend evidence to support this. Furthermore, this notion of meaning closely relates to what Frege refers to as "sense", in metaphysics and philosophy of language. It also aligns with Peirce's "interpretant", in semiotics. We discuss how Frege's sense can also be extended to the raw feels of consciousness. Sense and reference both play a role in phenomenal experience. Moreover, within the context of the mind-matter relation, we provide a formalization of subjective meaning associated to one's mental representations. Identifying the precise maps between the physical and mental domains, we argue that syntactic and semantic structures transcend language, and are realized within each of these domains. Formally, meaning is a relational attribute, realized via a map that interprets syntactic structures of a formal system within an appropriate semantic space. The image of this map within the mental domain is what is relevant for experience, and thus comprises the phenomenal content of qualia. We conclude with possible implications this may have for experience-based theories of consciousness.
The Critical Thinking about Conspiracies (CTAC) Test: Development and Validation
Authors: O'Mahony Cian , Linehan Conor , Murphy Gillian
Published: May 2024

How should we measure people’s vulnerability to unreasonable conspiracy theories? This is a key question for those designing interventions that aim to limit the spread of inaccurate beliefs. We argue that existing approaches are either too specific (measuring belief in a known conspiracy theory) or too general (measuring broad beliefs about the world). We developed the Critical Thinking about Conspiracies assessment (CTAC), where participants critically assess fictional conspiracies. In Study 1 (n =3341) we conducted several iterative pilot studies to develop the items. In Study 2 (n = 151) we conducted an exploratory factor analysis, reporting a two-factor solution, where the ability to correctly appraise implausible and plausible conspiracy theories are distinct but interrelated components. In Study 3 (n =106) we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis to assess the goodness of fit and demonstrated convergent validity. The CTAC has 8 items, can be easily administered online and takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.
Comparing the effectiveness of animated videos and talking-head videos in science communication
Authors: Marx Clara , König Laura M
Published: May 2024

Online videos are becoming increasingly popular for obtaining nutrition-related information. Learning theories suggest that videos may differ in their effectiveness of conveying knowledge depending on the correspondence between audio and visual content. We thus tested whether two popular video formats, i.e. talking-head and animated videos, differed regarding knowledge transfer effectiveness and their ability to stimulate content sharing. A total of 358 participants who were representative for the German population regarding age, gender and level of education were randomly assigned to viewing one video format about one of three nutrition-related topics. Afterwards, they rated the video, indicated willingness to share the information with ithers and answered a set of quiz questions about all three topics to assess knowledge. Videos did not differ in their evaluation (F[1, 352] = 0.16, p = .898), knowledge transfer (F[2, 352] = 0.10, p = .749) or content sharing (F[1, 352] = 0.12, p = .727, partial η2 = .00). However, participants received a better knowledge score for the video topic they watched a video about than for the other two topics (F[4, 704] = 50.00, p < .001, partial η2 = .22). Therefore, both formats can be considered equally effective for use in science communication.
An evidence-based model of job rotation
Authors: Coyne Patrick
Published: May 2024

This submission is the major project for my Doctorate of Professional Studies. It describes increases in my professional capabilities as a leader and researcher through the development and innovative use of job rotation as a means to enhance nurse recruitment, retention and development in north west London. It include an up-to-date critical review of the broad literature on job rotation. As part of an ongoing emancipatory action research study, it is a formative evaluation of five previous local studies (see supplemental materials). The formative evaluation was undertaken by me and two expert panels, using nominal group technique, with a view to identifying key factors from the literature and from our own experience to develop an evidence-based model of job rotation. Through the use of template analysis and hermeneutic dialectic process, an evidence-based model of job rotation has been produced around an a priori template of structure, process and outcome. In addition, through its use of a critical and emancipatory approach, the research process has led to increased learning among the many participants, plus a variety of other benefits that have been identified by them. The research reports and this model will contribute to the local action research community and community of practice. These are currently contributing to a feasibility study sponsored by the local Primary Care Trust to explore the use of job rotation to enable Incapacity Benefit claimants to return to work. Further dissemination of the work will be aimed at sharing the knowledge widely within my own profession of nursing and my own area of health care work. It will also be disseminated beyond these fields to include general business and other professions. It is expected that the work will continue to influence human resources policy, as it has in the past, to promote the appropriate, effective and efficient use of job rotation and the ongoing systematic development of an evidence-base in this area.

Published: May 2024

As alterações climáticas amplamente relatadas pelo mundo apontam à necessidade de monitoramento e de atualização do clima em regiões de produção agropecuária, como no município de Boa Vista, Roraima, cujas bases climáticas de referência foram reportadas há mais de 20 anos. Nesse sentido, este trabalho avalia as tendências dos dados climáticos para o município de Boa Vista, RR, com base nas séries históricas de 1961 a 2020, e verifica se houve alteração da classificação climática local. Foi empregado o método do balanço hídrico climatológico (BHC) de Thornthwaite & Mather, nos períodos de 1961-1990 e de 1991-2020. Após a extração das variáveis, realizou-se a classificação climática pelos métodos de Thornthwaite e de Köppen. Com isso, confirmamos, pelos dois métodos avaliados, que o clima do município de Boa Vista mudou. Pelo método de Thornthwaite, a mudança observada foi de B1WAˈaˈ (úmido, com moderada deficiência hídrica no inverno) para B2WAˈaˈ (úmido, com moderado deficiência hídrico do inverno). Pelo método de Köppen, a classificação climática passou de Aw (Tropical de Savana com inverno seco) para Am (Tropical úmido).

Update of the climate classification of Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil
 
ABSTRACT: Climate changes widely reported worldwide point to the need to monitor and update the climate in agricultural production regions, such as in the municipality of Boa Vista, Roraima, whose reference climate bases were reported more than 20 years ago. In this sense, we aimed to evaluate trends in climate data for the municipality of Boa Vista, RR, based on historical series from 1961 to 2020, and verify whether the local climate classification has changed. For this, the climatological water balance (BHC) method by Thornthwaite & Mather was used in two periods (1961-1990 and 1991-2020). After the BHC, the climate classification was performed following the methods of Thornthwaite and Köppen. With this, we confirm, by the two methods evaluated, that the climate of the municipality of Boa Vista has changed. By Thornthwaite's method, the observed change was from B1WAˈaˈ (humid, with a moderate water deficit in winter) to B2WAˈaˈ (humid, with a moderate water deficit in winter). By the Köppen method, the climate classification changed from Aw (Tropical Savannah with dry winter) to Am (Wet Tropical).

Особливості рецепції цифрового public art як інокультурної практики: закордонний та український досвід
Authors: Вербецький Євген
Published: May 2024

Мета статті — виявити особливості рецепції цифрового public art в урбаністичному просторі сучасного міста. Результати дослідження. У статті досліджено проблематику рецепції цифрового public art в західній та східній культурі; уточнено поняття «публічний простір» та «public art»; розглянуто цифрові технології як ефективний інструментарій оновлення інокультурних практик, представлених у сучасному урбаністичному просторі на прикладі public art. Наукова новизна полягає в тому, що вперше в сучасній вітчизняній культурології розглянуто особливості рецепції цифрового public art як інокультурної практики на прикладі закордонного та українського досвіду. Висновки. Public art визначає культурні межі, твори мистецтва, матеріальні носії культури та їхнє значення, широку участь і взаємодію в публічному просторі сучасного міста. Станом на початок третього десятиліття ХХІ ст. практики public art зазвичай репрезентовані у нових формах, зокрема в цифровому форматі. На сучасному етапі художні вираження засобами інокультурних практик і взаємодія з урбаністичним простором виходять за межі простої естетики, перетворюючись на засіб соціальних коментарів і міжкультурних досліджень, та можуть кинути виклик чинним нормам у публічному просторі міста. Дослідження цифрового public art в урбаністичному просторі сучасного міста крізь призму концепції інокультурних практик виявило, що: особливості рецепції доцільно розглядати крізь призму культурного контексту та моделювання соціальними умовами; відмінності рецепції на Заході та Сході полягають у використанні різних поглядів щодо репрезентації візуального світу цифрового public art як у геометричному, так і в метафоричному сенсі; східні та західні практики цифрового public art створюють різні психологічні стани причетності або «приналежності», викликають культурно-специфічне відчуття ідентичності. Цифровий public art, представлений у сучасному урбаністичному просторі України, є складним, багатоаспектним феноменом, дослідження якого є призмою для ідентифікації національної культурної стратегії.
Віртуальні музеї України як засоби збереження історичної пам’яті в умовах війни
Authors: Кузнецова Людмила , Кушнарьов Ігор
Published: May 2024

Мета статті — визначити роль віртуальних музеїв у збереженні історичної пам’яті та культурної спадщини під час повномасштабного вторгнення Російської Федерації в Україну. Результати дослідження ґрунтуються на узагальненні конкретних фактів запровадження віртуальних музеїв в Україні напередодні й під час повномасштабної війни, аналізі онлайн-ресурсів, зокрема сайтів віртуальних музеїв. Визначено особливості й тенденції розвитку віртуальних музеїв в умовах війни. Основними є такі: практично усі новостворені віртуальні музеї підпорядковані темі війни, їх об’єднує мета, з одного боку, збір і збереження інформації про події війни, факти знищення культурної спадщини, злодіяння росіян; з іншого — донесення правди про події війни для всього світу; деякі віртуальні музеї виконують функції благодійних аукціонів, на сайті яких відбувається продаж артефактів для залучення коштів на підтримку ЗСУ і постраждалого населення під час війни тощо. Наукова новизна одержаних результатів полягає в систематизації фактичного матеріалу щодо появи та діяльності віртуальних музеїв в Україні (насамперед з використанням технологій віртуальної реальності), виявленні особливостей і тенденцій функціонування віртуальних музеїв в умовах війни, уведенні в науковий обіг інформаційних матеріалів щодо новостворених віртуальних музеїв. Висновки. Проведене дослідження дає змогу стверджувати, що з початку широкомасштабного вторгнення РФ в Україну (з 24 лютого 2022 р.) запроваджено низку віртуальних музеїв, хоча на сьогодні в Україні є невелика кількість музеїв, які працюють тільки в режимі онлайн. Вони відрізняються структурною та функціональною різноманітністю, проте завжди перебувають у віртуальному просторі та, якщо порівнювати з традиційними музеями, пропонують багато переваг насамперед щодо збереження інформації про російсько-українську війну, привернення уваги всього світу до подій в Україні. В умовах війни віртуальні музеї не лише важливі, але й необхідні, оскільки є потужним інструментом не тільки збору та збереження артефактів війни, а й доступу до цих артефактів в будь-який час з будь-якої точки світу. Роль віртуальних музеїв України як засобів збереження історичної пам’яті незамінна.

Profesi seorang Notaris sebagai pembuat akta tanah, maka tentu akan berhubungan dengan tanggung jawab. Tanggung jawab seorang notaris tidak hanya pada proses pembuatan akta otentik saja, tetapi sampai dengan terwujudnya akta otentik sampai pada saat setelah akta otentik itu terbentuk. Akta yang dibuat oleh notaris pada prinsipnya merupakan akta otentik, namun pada praktek akta otentik tersebut dapat berubah menjadi akta di bawah tangan dengan berbagai alasan tertentu. Metode yang digunakan yaitu yuridis normatif dengan studi pustaka, Hasil penelitian ditemukan akibat hukum terhadap akta yang cacat hukum dapat mengalami degradasi menjadi akta di bawah tangan apabila di dalam akta tersebut terdapat suatu pelanggaran sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 1869 KUHPerdata.

Published: May 2024

Background:

Individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) frequently experience sleep disorders, which may elevate the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Yet, sleep types in MCI patients and the factors influencing them have not been sufficiently investigated.

Objective:

The objective of this study was to explore potential sleep typing and its influencing factors in patients with MCI using latent class analysis.

Methods:

A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Jiangsu Province, China. Cognitive function in older adults was assessed using neuropsychological tests, including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale-Beijing version (MoCA), the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADL), and the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR). Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Latent class analysis based on PSQI scores and multinomial logistic regression analyses were employed to explore the influencing factors of sleep typing.

Results:

The study included a total of 611 patients with MCI. Latent class analysis identified three latent classes to categorize the sleep patterns of MCI patients: the good sleep type (56.6%), the insufficient sleep type (29.6%), and the difficulty falling asleep type (13.7%). Potential sleep typing is influenced by gender, chronic disease, physical exercise, social activity, brain exercise, smoking, frailty, subjective cognitive status, and global cognitive function.

Conclusions:

The findings of this study underscore the notable heterogeneity in the sleep patterns of patients with MCI. Future research may provide targeted prevention and interventions to address the characteristics and influencing factors of patients with different subtypes of sleep MCI.
A novel deep learning based CBIR model using Convolutional Siamese Neural Networks
Authors: John Manu , Mathew Terry Jacob , Bindu V.R.
Published: May 2024

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is a technique that involves retrieving similar images from a large database by analysing the content features of the query image. The heavy usage of digital platforms and devices has in a way promoted CBIR and its allied technologies in computer vision and artificial intelligence. The process entails comparing the representative features of the query image with those of the images in the dataset to rank them for retrieval. Past research was centered around handcrafted feature descriptors based on traditional visual features. But with the advent of deep learning the traditional manual method of feature engineering gave way to automatic feature extraction. In this study, a cascaded network is utilised for CBIR. In the first stage, the model employs multi-modal features from variational autoencoders and super-pixelated image characteristics to narrow down the search space. In the subsequent stage, an end-to-end deep learning network known as a Convolutional Siamese Neural Network (CSNN) is used. The concept of pseudo-labeling is incorporated to categorise images according to their affinity and similarity with the query image. Using this pseudo-supervised learning approach, this network evaluates the similarity between a query image and available image samples. The Siamese network assigns a similarity score to each target image, and those that surpass a predefined threshold are ranked and retrieved. The suggested CBIR system undergoes testing on a widely recognized public dataset: the Oxford dataset and its performance is measured against cutting-edge image retrieval methods. The findings reveal substantial enhancements in retrieval performance in terms of several standard benchmarks such as average precision, average error rate, average false positive rate etc., providing strong support for utilising images from interconnected devices.
Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy three-way conflict analysis based on cumulative prospect theory
Authors: Wang Tianxing , Huang Bing
Published: May 2024

This paper makes a significant contribution to the field of conflict analysis by introducing a novel Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Three-Way Conflict Analysis (IVIFTWCA) method, which is anchored in cumulative prospect theory. The method’s key innovation lies in its use of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers to represent an agent’s stance, addressing the psychological dimensions and risk tendencies of decision-makers that have been largely overlooked in previous studies. The IVIFTWCA method categorizes conflict situations into affirmative, impartial, and adverse coalitions, leveraging the evaluation of the closeness function and predefined thresholds. It incorporates a reference point, value functions and cumulative weight functions to assess risk preferences, leading to the formulation of precise decision rules and thresholds. The method’s efficacy and applicability are demonstrated through detailed examples and comparative analysis, and its exceptional performance is confirmed through a series of experiments, offering a robust framework for real-world decision-making in conflict situations.
