Background

Wastewater surveillance is an effective approach to monitor population health, as exemplified by its role throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aim

This study explores the possibility of extending wastewater surveillance to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, focusing on identifying priority pathogen targets that are relevant and feasible to monitor in wastewater for these events.

Methods

A list of 60 pathogens of interest for general public health surveillance for the Games was compiled. Each pathogen was evaluated against three inclusion criteria: (A) analytical feasibility; (B) relevance, i.e. with regards to the specificities of the event and the characteristics of the pathogen; and (C) added value to inform public health decision-making. Analytical feasibility was assessed through evidence from peer-reviewed publications demonstrating the detectability of pathogens in sewage, refining the initial list to 25 pathogens. Criteria B and C were evaluated via expert opinion using the Delphi method. The panel consisting of some 30 experts proposed five additional pathogens meeting criterion A, totalling 30 pathogens assessed throughout the three-round iterative questionnaire. Pathogens failing to reach 70% group consensus threshold underwent further deliberation by a subgroup of experts.

Results

Six priority targets suitable for wastewater surveillance during the Games were successfully identified: poliovirus, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, mpox virus, SARS-CoV-2 and measles virus.

Conclusion

This study introduced a model framework for identifying context-specific wastewater surveillance targets for a mass gathering. Successful implementation of a wastewater surveillance plan for Paris 2024 could incentivise similar monitoring efforts for other mass gatherings globally.

Published: July 2024

Achieving the best quality indicators of transmission through the channels of modern communication systems is always of urgent importance for developers and users of information communication systems. At the same time, to ensure high transmission reliability and performance, various coding methods and methods of converting the transmitted data can be used. Accordingly, each of the proposed data processing methods has its advantages and disadvantages, which determines their attractiveness or application limitations for the data being transmitted. In this paper, the analysis of algorithms for forming signal code structures of traditional interference-resistant positional codes, codes with an even number of units, and a nine-element Hamming code is carried out. Classical positional coding is inferior in such important data transmission parameters as information capacity and entropy. However, in some cases, for example, when the results of data transfer quality parameters calculations are significantly influenced by the language of the transmitted textual information or the volume of the analyzed text (the influence is more likely to be noticeable in individual cases, and not in general), then an important value acquires the possibility of applying a certain/adapted type of encoding of the transmitted data. The article conducts theoretical research and calculates the main qualitative parameters of the studied code constructions for various initial conditions. A comparative analysis and assessment of the influence of the studied parameters on the quality of data transmission was carried out. Conducted theoretical studies show that, under certain conditions, positional coding provides a significant gain in the main quality indicators of data processing and can be successfully applied for coding and transmission of digital data through the channels of modern information transmission systems. In order to practically confirm the reliability of the obtained results, relevant studies should be conducted, for example, with simulation on a software model of a virtual transmission system with different coding principles on modern computer systems.

Authors: Tarasova Galina Nurslamovna , Telezhinskiy Dmitriy Dmitrievich
Published: July 2024

To the end of 2022, only 7 varieties of pears adapted for the conditions of the Middle Urals were entered in the State Register of Selection Achievements Approved for Use. Due to the harsh climate, the introduction of varieties from more southern areas is ineffective. The range of pears in the region is small, its improvement and expansion continues to be relevant and is the main goal of selection work. The new Chusovaya variety was bred and studied at the Sverdlovsk horticulture breeding station. It is a structural unit of the Ural Federal Agrarian Research Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Observations in the experience of primary study were carried out in the period 2009-2022. To determine the adaptability of the Chusovaya variety in the climatic conditions of the region and its suitability for expanding the zoned variety, an assessment was made on winter resistance, yield, fruit quality. At the same time, the Chusovaya variety was used in hybridization to assess its prospects when used in selection. According to the results of many years of research, the new grade of Chusovaya pear was highly appreciated for its economic and valuable characteristics in the Middle Urals. Since 2023, the variety has been included in the State Register of Selection Achievements Approved for Use of the Russian Federation. In addition, based on the selection evaluation of hybrid seedlings obtained with the participation of the new variety, it was found out that it can be used in selection as a donor of fruit taste.

VERS LIBRE FROM “ANTIGONE”. AN EPISODE FROM THE HISTORY OF RUSSIAN FREE VERSE. APOLLON GRIGORIEV - TRANSLATOR OF THE TRAGEDY OF AESCHYLUS
Authors: Orlitskii Yurii B. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: July 2024

The article considers an episode from the history of Russian free verse associated with the use of that type of national versification by Apollon Grigoriev in his early translation of Sophocles’ tragedy “Antigone” (1846). Vers libre appeared in the work of the young poet to create an equivalent to the socalled “lyrical meters”, that were used in the original to write the choir parts and two key monologues of the classical drama. The real rhythmic nature of those parties, consisting mainly of lines of different syllabic-tonic meters, is determined; however, a small number of verses in above fragments of the text do not lend themselves to traditional metrical interpretation and should be attributed to the transitional form of early Russian free verse – free verse on a syllabo-metrical basis. The place of the bold metrical experiment of the novice author among other ways of translating ancient choirs is shown in comparison with the predecessors (I. Martynov and A. Merzlyakov) and followers (S. Shestakov, V. Vodovozov, F. Zelinsky). It is also shown that later the vers libre used by Grigoriev to convey the specific musical meters of Sophocles were replaced by a more adequate verse form – syllabo- metrical logaedas proposed in 1914 by Zelinsky.
ON THE ISSUE OF SOMEONE ELSE’S WORD IN LYRICAL CYCLIZATION. “WHISPER, TIMID BREATHING...” BY AFANASII FET IN ROALD MANDELSTAM’S MICROCYCLE “ALBA” <1>, “ALBA” <2> AND “UTRO (MORNING)”
Authors: Domanskii Yurii V. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: July 2024

The article considers three poems by Roald Mandelstam that form from a lyrical trilogy: “Albs”: “Alba” <1>, “Alba” <2> and “Utro (Morning)”. All three begin the same way: “The whole block is ventilated and cooled down...”; and in each of the three there is an alien word – references to previous literary texts. Among other things, these are references to Afanasy Fet’s poem “Whisper, timid breathing...”. In the article, these references, located in the same positions in all three poems of Roald Mandelstam’s microcycle (the fourth lines of the third quatrains), are considered as one of the ways for forming a lyrical context and, accordingly, forming meanings in a lyrical context. It is shown how the pairing of two works through lexical overlap contributes to their mutual enrichment in terms of meaning.
POETICS OF SCHOLARLY ARGUMENT. TRANSLATION STUDIES BY UMBERTO ECO AS LITERATURE
Authors: Markov Alexandr V. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: July 2024

Umberto Eco’s book Dire quasi la stessa cosa. Esperienze di traduzione (2003) is treated as a work with characteristics of the novel genre: the study of the nature of desire, the study of the limits of theatricalization, the specificity of gesture, and finally, the speech coloring of the hero, in the book creates the impression of a novel narrative. At the same time, Eco partly mystifies the reader: thus, while studying the translators’ difficulties in conveying the visibility of theatrical action, he himself uses reduced visibility as an argument in choosing a translation strategy. Such a system of mystifications allows Eco to combine his own experience as a translator, in which the skills of epideictic eloquence had to be subordinated to the historicism shared by his readers, and his experience of working with translators of his novels into different languages, where the strategies of domestication and forenization were determined not by the situation of the literary process but by each language’s own history. Thereby, Eco built an epideictic view of language, where archaization, modernization, or sustainable development acted as novel protagonists. Such introduction of novel strategies into the scholarly memoir allowed Eco to discern novel moments in the history of world poetry and to construct a semiotically consistent picture of the development of Western literatures.
PARAMETERS OF TRANSLATION AXIOLOGY. THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATION WITHIN AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
Authors: Borodulina Ekaterina S. ,   Moscow Region State University
Published: July 2024

Cultural linguistics is an axiologically oriented discipline. The study of the axiological foundations of translation is becoming increasingly important. The study of issues related to the value aspects of literary translation is of great importance from a point of view of translation, since it draws attention not only to the personality of the translator, but also to the author of the text and its recipient. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the development of its own classification of the parameters of translation axiology, as well as their consideration from the socio-psychological, philosophical, philological and linguistic points of view. It allows concluding that axiological translation studies is an independent section focused on identifying and studying in detail the parameters that characterize the quality of translation of a literary text.

Authors: Bobkov Mikhail Yu. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: July 2024

The paper considers “The Times” coverage of the Crimean War in April 1854. That period is chosen because the British Empire entered the Crimean War at the end of March 1854, which could not help but affect the British newspaper’s coverage of the war. The articles printed in “The Times” between March 29 and April 30, 1854 that directly or indirectly mention the Crimean War are analyzed. It is about the battles, the movements of armies and fleets, and the diplomatic intrigue that was unfolding at that moment between the most influential and interested countries of Europe and Asia in the region of hostilities. The article will analyze the presentation of material on the pages of “The Times”, the speed and accuracy of information, and the attitude towards the parties to the conflict.
Comparison of different hyperparameter optimization methods on driving behavior recognition
Authors: David Ruth , Söffker Dirk
Published: July 2024

The prediction and recognition models of driving behaviors are often based on ma- chine learning approaches. These models are required for the growth of advanced driving assistance systems. The performance of the model depends on the optimal parameters, hy- perparameters, and model structure. In the present study, hyperparameters of a previously developed model (neural network-based state machine model) are optimized for the lane changing recognition. Two methods are considered for the hyperparameter optimization: Bayesian optimization and Genetic algorithm (GA). Three lane changing behaviors are estimated. Real human driving data generated using a driving simulator are used for the parameterization. The aim is to compare the model’s recognition performance based on the two methods. Furthermore, comparisons between the models with optimized hyper- parameters and the original model (without hyperparameter optimization) are performed. The results show that the performance based on the Bayesian optimization is better than GA, while the original model still outperforms others.
Situated and sequential planning and prediction of human driving behavior as decision making support system
Authors: Bejaoui Abderahman , Söffker Dirk
Published: July 2024

The realization of safe networked traffic is getting more and more important. The planning and prediction of possible driving behaviors and the detection of missing actions in advance contribute to avoid critical situations. A decision making system enables the support the human operator (driver) and to supervise the human-machine interaction by proposing possible actions predicted by the system, by warning him or her by detecting critical situations, and to take over the driving functionality if necessary.

The contribution of the work is the development of a monitoring decision making system allowing the planning and prediction of possible driving behaviors, detection of missing actions, and to support the human operator to reach desired situations. A Situation Operator Modeling method is used as event-discrete approach to describe changes from the real world as well as driving behaviors as a graph-based model considering the changes in the environment. The behaviors of traffic-vehicles are calculated based on predicted trajectories using a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Encoder Decoder algorithm. The approach is applied to an ’overtaking maneuver on a highway’. Decision options can be continually generated depending on the changes in the environment, can be suggested to the driver, and can support him or her to lead desired situations.

Authors: Bhagat Smith Joshua , Angelo Toribio Simone , Adams Julie
Published: July 2024

Human-robot teams operate in uncertain environments and need to accomplish a wide range of tasks. A dynamic understanding of the human’s workload can enable fluid inter- actions between team members. A system that seeks to adapt interactions for a human- robot team needs to quantify the distribution of workload across the different workload components. A workload assessment algorithm capable of estimating the demand placed on the human’s visual resources is required. Further, adaptive systems will benefit from measures of uncertainty, as these measures inform interaction adaptations. Two machine learning methods’ capacity to estimate visual workload for a human-robot team operat- ing in a non-sedentary supervisory environment are analyzed. A key finding is that the uncertainty-aware method outperforms the other approach.
SSA: a novel method for Single-cell and Spatial transcriptomics Alignment
Authors: Tran Bang , Tran Dao , Nguyen Tin
Published: July 2024

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides expression profiles of individual cells but fails to preserve crucial spatial information. On the other hand, Spatial Transcrip- tomics technologies are able to analyze specific regions within tissue sections, but lack of the capability to examine in single-cell resolution. To overcome these issues, we present Single-cell and Spatial transcriptomics Alignment (SSA), a novel technique that employs an optimal transport algorithm to assign individual cells from a scRNA-seq atlas to their spa- tial locations in actual tissue based on their expression profiles. SSA has demonstrated su- perior performance compared to existing methods SpaOTsc, Tangram, Seurat and DistMap using 10 semi-simulated datasets generated from a high-resolution spatial transcriptomics human breast cancer dataset with 100,064 cells. This advancement provides a refined tool for researchers to delve deeper in understanding of the relationship between cellular spatial organization and gene expression.

Published: July 2024

AI systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), have the potential to improve telemedicine. However, there is a need to further investigate the effectiveness of AI decision support and clinician-AI collaboration in this context. This study examines the impact of AI-only and clinician-AI support systems on trust, acceptance, usability, and cognitive load in telemedicine scenarios. In a randomized controlled study, twenty non-medical participants were randomly assigned to receive support from an AI-only or clinician-AI decision support system during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) scenarios simulated in an augmented reality (AR) headset. We used ChatGPT 3, a widely used LLM, as the AI system. Participants' responses were measured using trust, acceptance, and usability questionnaires, as well as a wearable wristband to collect physiological data. The results show that the clinician-AI scenario was perceived as more useful compared to the ChatGPT-only scenario. The collaborative approach also led to higher heart rate variability (HRV) and lower LF/HF ratio, indicating potentially lower mental effort compared to ChatGPT-only. No significant differences were found in system usability scale (SUS) and electrodermal activity (EDA) levels between the scenarios. These findings highlight the importance of involving clinicians in AI- supported telemedicine. Further research should explore real-world applications to validate the preliminary results.
TMHC-MSAT: Accurate Prediction of Inter-Helical Residue Contacts in Transmembrane Proteins Using MSA Transformer
Authors: Almalki Bander , Liao Li
Published: July 2024

Residue-residue contact prediction in a protein is one of the most used and informative middle steps to ultimately predict the complete 3D structure of a protein. While most previous studies use methods relying on statistical analysis of sequential properties to infer these contacts, some recent methods based on natural language processing models have gained success in accomplishing the task. However, most of these methods and models are built for globular proteins and not intended for specific types of proteins such as Transmembrane Proteins, which actually comprise about 30% of the proteome in most organisms and play important roles in cellular processes. In this study, we propose a Transmembrane Protein Helices Contacts predictor (TMHC-MSA) that utilizes features extracted by a protein language model called MSA Transformer and incorporates neighborhood information to enhance the quality of the produced contact map. Our proposed model shows that it can successfully outperform the state-of- the-art method by an average of 7% in terms of L precision and even surpass the MSA Transformer by an average of 2.5% on the same metric. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the more accurate contact map produced by our model can be used to generate a more accurate 3D structure.

Published: July 2024

Diabetes Retinopathy, a leading cause of vision impairment, necessitates early and pre- cise detection. To address this, we developed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model and tuned three popular pre-trained models, namely VGG16, Xception, and Mo- bileNetV2, to suit the specific characteristics of our dataset. To better understand the functioning of these deep learning algorithms, Explainable AI (XAI) techniques, such as CAM and Grad CAM++, were employed to highlight the crucial features influencing the model’s classifications. This study extends to the realm of imaging analysis, emphasiz- ing the critical importance of carefully selecting and customizing models to ensure precise and dependable diagnosis of complex conditions such as DR. Notably, the VGG16 model exhibited strong performance in identifying cases categorized as ’Moderate’ and ’No DR’, achieving accuracies of 0.90 and 0.98, respectively. Similarly, both Xception and Mo- bileNetV2 demonstrated promising results in the DR categories. Remarkably, our custom CNN model, tailored for our dataset, achieved an accuracy of 0.986 in identifying cases without DR (’No DR’). These results underscore the effectiveness of the trained deep learn- ing models in accurately diagnosing DR.

Financial Expertise of Corporate Executives and Pension Funding Level
Authors: Lee Gun , Shin Jae Eun ,   Korea Accounting Information Association
Published: July 2024

[Purpose] This study examines the impact of executives’ financial expertise on the funding level of defined benefit pension plans. On one hand, if executives with high financial expertise prefer to utilize available cash for more efficient investment options rather than locking it up in pension contributions, a negative relationship is expected. On the other hand, if executives with high financial expertise aim to increase the current funding level to alleviate future cash constraints or are concerned about negative evaluations in the capital market, a positive relationship is expected. The empirical analysis seeks to determine whether executives’ financial expertise lowers or raises the pension funding level.
[Methodology] The sample for analysis consists of companies listed on the KOSPI and KOSDAQ from 2012 to 2022 that have adopted a defined benefit pension plan. Although the pension system was implemented in 2005, the initial period is excluded due to the low adoption rate of pension plans and the low funding ratio of defined benefit assets at the beginning of the system’s implementation. Executives’ financial expertise is measured by executives with keywords in their past careers such as finance, accounting, treasury, or CFO, and the pension funding level is measured by the ratio of pension assets to pension liabilities.
[Findings] The empirical analysis shows that the higher the proportion of executives with financial expertise, the lower the pension funding level. This result can be interpreted as companies with executives having high financial expertise maintaining a lower funding level due to the high opportunity cost of investing available cash in pension contributions. Additionally, we find that the negative relationship between executives’ financial expertise and the pension funding level is driven by the subsample with a high funding level.
[Implications] The results of this study provide evidence that for the pension system to act as a means of securing workers’ retirement income, an improvement in the return on pension assets is necessary.

The paper considers the problem of the impact of low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) generated by electric vehicles (EV) and household appliances on humans in modern society. The data on the effect of EMF on human health and regulatory documents establishing requirements for electromagnetic safety are presented. The method of electromagnetic shielding and materials for the implementation of this method are considered as a promising method for solving the problem. The levels of electromagnetic radiation from a number of EV and household electrical appliances have been experimentally measured. The efficiency of electromagnetic shielding of materials based on single-layer coatings of Ni80Fe20 alloys, multilayer film structures Ni80Fe20/Cu and amorphous metal alloys AMAG172 has been estimated using a computational method. It is shown that electromagnetic screens based on these materials significantly reduce the levels of exposure to EMF of EV and household electrical appliances on humans, which allows us to approach the hygienic standards recommended by doctors and meet the requirements of regulatory documents on remote control.

This research aims to identify misconceptions of the grade ninth students at MTs Al-Ishlahuddiny Putra Kediri Lombok using a three-tier test on the concept of atoms, ions, and molecules. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The population in this study was class IX students at MTs Al-Ishlahuddiny Putra Kediri, consisting of 216 students. Sampling was carried out using a random sampling technique using the Slovin formula, and a sample of 68 students was obtained. The instrument used in this research is the three-tier test instrument by Riana Dewi Astari and has been validated using product moment correlation. The research results showed that the average percentage of students who experienced misconceptions was 23%, classified as low. Most students need clarification regarding the connection between the concept of compound molecules and elements and the concept of ions that release and receive electrons. Factors that cause misconceptions among students are the gap between preconceptions and concept assimilation, the objects being studied being abstract or difficult for students to understand, and the incompleteness of the information students receive during learning.

Este trabalho de conclusão de curso trata de uma análise do perfil dos estudantes que prestam o ENEM e suas dificuldades apresentadas ao elaborar a redação exigida, na interpretação dos temas, na gramática e na capacidade de redigir com a explanação do tema. Através da exposição de referencial teórico, entende-se que há uma defasagem nas entranhas da história do Brasil desde que houve interesse em iniciar a alfabetização, tais como: a expansão territorial, a vinda dos imigrantes e escravos que aportaram no país recém-colonizado, os povos indígenas que já habitavam, o real interesse no conceito pedagógico ao longo destes séculos, e, hoje, quais têm sido os esforços e as abordagens com as dezenas de reformas implementadas até este momento. Reconhece-se as dificuldades tanto em infraestrutura quanto em treinamento dos professores com a última reforma de 2017 que entrou em vigor em 2022. Para isso, buscamos compreender os fenômenos históricos e conceituais em autores como Ribeiro (1978), Barroso (2022), Barbosa (1883), Bortoni-Ricardo (2005), Amaral (1920), Adorno (1968), Cara (2019), Marcuschi (2010), Capistrano (2007), Soares (2004), Jardim (1884), Denzin e Lincoln (2006), Melo (2012) e Madeiro (2021). Com a análise quantitativa do texto, identificamos um avanço tímido, com poucos resultados eficientes pois se instalou um sistema descentralizador entre os Estados e Municípios que descaracteriza a forma mais eficiente ao implementar os conceitos pedagógicos. Acrescenta-se a isso a composição de um Currículo Comum apenas norteador, não prescritivo. Desse modo, apresentamos algumas análises de comparativos e de soluções e esperamos ampliar a percepção de discussões que enriqueçam as alternativas de melhorias na área da Educação, que é um setor de relevante importância para a sociedade civil.

As relações sociais passaram a ser virtuais. O contato entre pessoas está perdendo a materialidade e migrando para redes sociais virtuais ou passando a se realizar via aplicativos para celular. Este livro trata dessa realidade ao debater de forma direta ou indireta os transtornos nascidos do uso excessivo de telas e da imersão nas redes sociais, discutindo a manutenção de preconceitos e a luta pela inclusão sem estereótipos e, avaliando terapias capazes de auxiliar os indivíduos a manterem a humanidade em uma realidade fluída – e as vezes efêmera. O livro também analisa os transtornos que acometem o homem moderno e que passaram a ser definidos de forma mais nítida como o TEA, a Depressão e a Ansiedade. Os artigos que fazem parte do livro não estão interligados, mas trazem em si um mosaico de temas que caracterizam a vivência e forma como a humanidade sobrevive a modernidade.
