In the context of the prosperity of the Internet economy and the progress of the cultural industry, the Internet cultural industry is expanding in a big way based on the economic development of the cultural industry, supported by the Internet technology platform and serving the cultural and spiritual experience of consumers. The Internet cultural industry is gradually becoming the backbone of the country’s comprehensive strength for the amount. The Internet to boost the development of China’s cultural industry and cultural export to the outside has become a general trend. In 2018 China’s Internet cultural industry added value accounted for the first time exceeded 3 trillion of GDP, and the added value of the Internet cultural industry in 2021 further increased to 6.63% of GDP. Thus, it can be seen that the share of Wen Internet culture industry in China’s GDP is a steady upward trend and the future development is clear. This paper uses the vector autoregressive model to model and analyze the cultural consumption data of Internet users, and the analysis results show that in 2021, China’s Internet cultural consumption mainly tends to music and video, games, literature, animation, and online cultural content information services in five areas, among which games account for 36.52% of the total Internet cultural consumption. Due to the improvement of China’s comprehensive strength, the difference in CPI of Internet culture consumption between urban and rural groups in China is 11, and the gap is gradually narrowing, and the countryside will be a big new market in the future. The Internet group culture user group as a whole tends to be younger, with the student group accounting for 26% of the user group. Based on the analysis of this study, it is concluded that Internet cultural consumption tends to be young, cultural innovation is the main driving force to promote consumption, and future development is unstoppable.
Application of digital technology in environmental art design
Authors: Xu Xuanyin
Published: April 2023

In recent years, digital technology has rapidly penetrated various industries and brought various opportunities for developing these industries. Based on two digital technologies, BP neural network and the Gray Wolf algorithm, this article analyzes the application of digital technology in environmental art design at Xi’an Eurasian National University, taking environmental art design as an example. The article uses these two algorithms to analyze the site and design principles of the campus, followed by detailed design and consideration of the campus environment design, mainly from greenery design, groundscape and road pavement design, and campus landscape lighting design. The analysis of the collected data in this paper shows that students’ satisfaction with the central teaching area is generally low, at around 20%, and the satisfaction with the northwest teaching area is the highest, all above 40%, up to 61%. The students’ satisfaction with the plant landscape on the campus was generally at a medium level. However, the satisfaction level for loblolly pine is not very high, and overall is around 30%, while the satisfaction level for the cedar is high, and everyone’s satisfaction is higher than 60%. Therefore, this paper takes the students’ satisfaction with the campus landscape environment into consideration in the landscape design, which is conducive to achieving the perfect integration of landscape art design and ecological environment and achieving the realistic goal of both aesthetic and environmental protection.

Published: April 2023

In order to explore the development path of Hunan embroidery under the vision of artificial intelligence, promote the digital regeneration and database construction of Hunan embroidery stitches, the communication, and interaction between Hunan embroidery brands and the public, and create more possibilities for revitalizing the culture and industrial development of non-heritage Hunan embroidery. In this paper, a mechanics model of Hunan embroidery stitch is established based on the finite element idea under the view of artificial intelligence. The single yarn in the yarn is regarded as a frictionless articulation of some rows of elastic rods with a circular cross-section. The elastic rod can only be subjected to axial force without a moment, and it is a uniform, continuous, and completely elastic isotropic body. Using the displacement method, the displacement of the unit node is taken as the basic unknown quantity, the displacement in the unit is assumed to be linearly distributed, and the displacement of any node in the unit is obtained by linear interpolation. The strain, stress, and stiffness matrices of the elastic rod unit are derived, the equilibrium equations are given, and a database is established. The results of the study showed that consumers of all age levels thought that the patterns representing Hunan embroidery mainly include Hunan characteristic landscapes, portraits of Hunan great men, traditional flowers, birds and animals, and totems of Chu culture, etc., among which Hunan characteristic landscape accounted for 54% of the largest proportion. It provides a development direction for the inheritance and protection of Hunan embroidery skills.

Authors: Wang Haijun
Published: April 2023

Entrepreneurship education is an educational concept and teaching mode which is formed in socio-economic development. Universal entrepreneurship education has both the long-term value of realizing the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure and the practical value of alleviating the employment problem of college students. Therefore, how establishing the innovation and entrepreneurship education model in higher education under the environment of big data analysis is a major issue at present and also a key element to achieving the construction goal of modern higher education. In this paper, the entrepreneurship data of colleges and universities are deeply mined by association rules of the Apriori algorithm and clustering analysis of the FCM algorithm. As a result, an entrepreneurship education model is established and practiced in university classrooms. According to the results of the survey after the practice of the entrepreneurship education model, it can be seen that the number of students’ participation in innovation and entrepreneurship lectures has increased, and the proportion reached 50%. Innovation and entrepreneurship clubs formed on campus and discipline competitions accounted for 16.00% and 18.00%, respectively. College students’ motivations for learning innovation and entrepreneurship education courses are mainly ability enhancement, interest-driven, credit demand, future planning, and influence of others, and they account for 34.00%, 26.00%, 21.00%, 14.00%, and 5.00%, in that order. These indicate that the current group of college students considers the pursuit of knowledge and the improvement of their abilities as the main reasons for undertaking entrepreneurial learning activities. After practicing the entrepreneurship education model, people have increased their knowledge of entrepreneurship theory and are more willing to participate in various entrepreneurial activities.
Research on the innovation of model based on the cultivation of talents in higher vocational art and design
Authors: Liu Junhua
Published: April 2023

Art and design are creative activities humans engage in to achieve certain purposes. The multiple characteristics of art and design also put forward more requirements for developing higher education art and design education. In this paper, starting from the problem that the multiple characteristics of art and design make it difficult to evaluate the teaching quality, the FAHP-FCE evaluation system is proposed to score the quality of art and design talents training. Firstly, fuzzy hierarchical analysis (FAHP) is used to construct a judgment matrix to filter out evaluation indexes. Secondly, multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) is used to evaluate the evaluation indexes to obtain the score. Finally, conclusions were drawn by comparing the effectiveness of the two teaching models. The research results show that the effectiveness of the FAHP-FCE evaluation system-based art and design talent training teaching model is assessed as 83.47 points, which is 34.11% more effective, 23% more design ability, 31% more learning ability and 26% more hands-on ability than the traditional teaching model. The talent cultivation model in this paper enables students to master abstract design ability, helps to expand the field of creative thinking, enriches the language of modeling and artistic imagination, and improves comprehensive design ability and learning ability.

Published: April 2023

The use of industrial robots based on MATLAB simulation for water environment monitoring is to monitor the water environment better, improve monitoring efficiency and reduce monitoring costs. The robot can better collect data and can engage in deeper water-specific information. In this paper, based on the discussion of the water environment monitoring robots used in countries around the world for water environment monitoring, we introduce a MATLAB-based simulation of industrial robots in a wide range of water environments to simulate the autonomous data acquisition system. The main advantages are: compared with other robots, it can realize the “wide range” of water environment data collection; compared with fixed buoys, it can realize the “autonomous” collection of water environment monitoring data and gives the autonomous collection process and hierarchical software progression. The autonomous acquisition process and hierarchical software architecture are presented. The simulation results analysis shows no difference between the simulated data and the predicted data from the historical data using MATLAB-based industrial robots for water environment monitoring. This shows that the development of industrial robot simulation in water environment monitoring is promising and feasible.

Authors: Pan Nengchao
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of critical discourse analysis theory in the context of big data to enlighten university English teaching. To this end, this paper conducts big data mining on university English teaching under the K-nearest neighbor classification algorithm based on the optimization of K-value selection strategy. With the help of the three-dimensional discourse analysis framework under the critical discourse analysis theory, students' evaluation of the current university English in terms of learning value, teaching organization, teaching interaction, teaching coverage, and teacher-student relationship is explored. In terms of the evaluation of learning value, the students' ratings, in descending order, were: inspiring ideas, increasing insight, learning meaningful content, and learning methods. The mean scores were 4.35, 3.81, 3.68, and 3.14, respectively, and for the evaluation of teaching interaction, students thought that the teacher did the best job of encouraging speech, giving an average score of 3.38. This shows that college English teaching should adapt to the development of the times, strengthen students' comprehensive communication skills, and deepen their understanding of English culture.

Published: April 2023

Analyzing the economic benefits of enterprise employees is better for protecting the rights and interests of enterprise employees. In this paper, based on the K-means clustering algorithm in the context of the Internet, the K-means clustering algorithm is optimized by the entropy weight method, and a K-means clustering model for exploring the analysis of the economic benefits of enterprise employees’ labor is proposed. For the model of this paper, the classification accuracy of the model is verified by employing controlled experiments, and two types of evaluation indexes for the labor economic efficiency of enterprise employees are analyzed and mined, namely labor employment and work environment and wage compensation and training and learning, using enterprise T as an example. Regarding labor and work environment indicators, 74.52% of the evaluations were above C grade. From the data of the indicators of salary and compensation and training and learning, the percentage of C grades or above is 89.41%. In the background of the Internet, the K-means algorithm model to analyze the relationship between the economic benefits of enterprise employee labor can help enterprises understand the current problems of employee labor and improve the happiness of employee labor, thus promoting the increase of enterprise economic benefits.
Research on the interaction between university physical culture education and college students’ physical exercise in the context of big data
Authors: Zhu Yuanyuan
Published: April 2023

The background of big data has developed deeply, the application of the field has been broadened, and the value of data has been vigorously manifested. In order to study the interaction between physical culture education and exercise in universities in this era, this paper uses Clementine 12.0 data mining software to build a data mining model of association rules of university physical culture education courses and mine the course feature vectors. Based on the mining results, we designed the second classroom physical culture education courses with different physical culture characteristics. Constructing a scoring method and rating scale for the effectiveness of physical exercise among college students, and the physical exercise index scores are obtained through fuzzy operations. Finally, the interaction between physical culture education and exercise in universities in this context is analyzed according to the relationship between physical culture education courses and physical exercise performance. After the physical culture education course began, the physical exercise intensity score of the experimental group of first-year college girls increased by 8%, the physical exercise time score increased by 10%, the physical exercise frequency score increased by 15.2%, and the total physical exercise score increased by 7% after the physical culture education course. This shows that university physical culture education is positively correlated with college students’ physical activity, and campus physical culture has a significant predictive effect on students’ subjective performance of physical activity behavior. Optimizing university physical culture education not only improves students’ physical quality and promotes the development of their physical and mental health but also provides a reference for strengthening students’ physical education.
The optimization path of core literacy of innovative talents in universities based on the improved Markov model
Authors: Zhang Zhengli
Published: April 2023

As we enter the information technology era of the 21st century, universities are the main place for talent cultivation, but as an important part of higher Education, they are not sufficiently aware of innovative talent cultivation, and their own development is immature, which leads to the unsound innovative talent cultivation model. Therefore, in this paper, we use the Markov model-based test case generation technique to explore in depth the techniques of transfer probability acquisition, random selection, and adequacy determination and improve the Markov model with linear regression to further strengthen the robustness of the prediction algorithm, reduce the error of prediction and improve the accuracy of prediction. Through the processing of student data, the results show that the standard deviation of the improved Markov model is 0.06903 and the processing time is 87 seconds, the standard deviation of the original model is 0.07255 and the processing time is 133 seconds, and the larger the standard deviation of the experimental sample the less accurate the experiment is. The improved Markov model has a good experimental effect with little error, which can effectively optimize the training mode of innovative talents in universities.

Authors: Krawczyk-Suszek Marlena , Banaś Anna , Martowska Blanka
Published: April 2023

Hypokinesia in seniors reduces mobility, which results in a decrease in their general well-being and quality of life. In this study, changes in blood pressure and saturation values in seniors after aqua jogging training were assessed. In addition, the subjective average level of fatigue and its impact on HRMAX were analysed. Quality of life was also assessed in the study group of seniors.

In a group of 49 people attending aqua jogging classes (66.3±5.4yr; F:39; M:10), the values of pressure and saturation were measured in 4 subsequent measurements (before and immediately after training, as well as 1 min. and 5 min. after training). The Rating of Perceived Exertion scale (RPE), the SF-36v.2 quality of life questionnaire and the WHO-5 Good Feeling Index were used to assess the level of fatigue during training. Blood pressure measurements were highest immediately after the exercises and thereafter decreased. HRMAX at the fifth minute after the exercise increased significantly (r=0.3) following increasing fatigue (RPE) (p=0.017). A satisfactory level of quality of life in seniors was recorded at 71.1±18.0% [WHO–5] and 59.0±13.0% [SF–36v.2]. A higher level of quality of life was recorded in the psychological sphere (SF-36v.2 MCS:61.1%±7.7%). The greater physical exertion felt by a studied individual resulted in a slower pulse decrease after the exercise.
A Case Study of Child with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treated in Intensive Care
Authors: Król Anna
Published: April 2023

The most common childhood cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which, thanks to medical progress, achieves up to 95% of complete remission and 80% of cures with appropriate treatment among patients diagnosed with ALL.

A less than three-year-old boy treated for an infectious disease and progressively worsening symptoms was transferred by the Emergency Department to the Department of Hematology and Oncology of Children after revealing leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia. In a short time, the child’s condition deteriorated, and it was decided to transfer the patient to the Children’s Intensive Care Unit. Due to respiratory failure, the boy was intubated, and mechanical ventilation was started. Catecholamines and sedatives were introduced. Due to increasing edema and anuria, diuretics were administered without diuresis. Hemodialysis was used. In spite of transfused group compatible blood products and exchange transfusion, coagulation disorders occurred. On the tenth day of hospitalization in the intensive care unit, the procedure of confirming brain death was performed.

Both the prevention and treatment of hyperleukocytosis syndrome and the development of treatment methods do not reduce the risk of this syndrome among children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The determination of permanent and irreversible cessation of brain function is possible only after the proper execution of the procedure for determining brain death.

Waste Elimination based on Lean Construction and Building Information Modelling: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Karaz Mahmoud , Teixeira José Cardoso
Published: April 2023

Construction waste (CW) is an abstract, high-level concept and difficult to measure systematically. The conventional management methods have failed to translate the reality in the construction industry context. The integrated Lean Construction (LC) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) streamline several proactive and collaborative solutions to address CW at its source across the whole asset lifecycle. This paper adopts the systematic literature review method to (i) understand ‘waste’ and ‘waste elimination’ concepts through LC perspectives and (ii) to review factors of LC-BIM for waste elimination. Based on thematic analysis applied to 54 relevant documents in the Scopus and IGLC databases, some literature was approached. According to thematic analysis applied to the existing LC-BIM approaches, despite the potential of LC-BIM for CW elimination, the current literature lacks the concept of waste elimination in the number and content of publications. The paper highlights some generic recommendations for future theoretical and empirical developments.
Le travail social impossible - Pour une ethnographie de la relation d’aide
Authors: Vernède Francis
Published: April 2023

Cet ouvrage documente des situations où l’intervention sociale semble impossible. L’accent est mis sur l’intraitabilité, caractéristique liée aux spécificités du public mais également à la temporalité de l’intervention, pleinement inscrite dans l’ici et maintenant. Les exemples exposés ici – fruit d’une enquête ethnographique dans un Centre d’Hébergement et de Réinsertion Sociale – ne participent pas d’une politique de réduction des risques à l’usage de substances mais d’une contenance des risques. Ce travail expose une série de situations qui renseignent cette intraitabilité et renvoie également au travail conduit dans le cadre d’un suivi du Revenu Minimum d’Activité (RMA), à l’accompagnement des personnes en situation de handicap lourd, des personnes en fin de vie ou bien des adolescents dits difficiles. Il s’agit d’une invitation à penser les interventions empêchées, une problématique transversale et permanente, constitutive des métiers du social.
Das Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Staat in der Schweiz - Zur Gestaltungskraft der Rechtssetzung
Authors: Hofmänner Alexandra
Published: April 2023

Die Rolle der Wissenschaft hat während der Covid-19-Pandemie ungewöhnlich heftige und polarisierende Debatten ausgelöst. Evaluationen zur Krisenbewältigung lassen auf ein Problem in der Zusammenarbeit von Politik und Wissenschaft schliessen. Diese Zusammenarbeit wird durch die rechtliche Normsetzung zum Verhältnis von Staat und Wissenschaft mitgeprägt. Wie gut sie gelingt, beeinflusst auch das gesellschaftliche Vertrauen in die Institutionen der liberalen Demokratie.
Doch aktuell gibt es in der Schweiz Unstimmigkeiten mit weitreichenden Auswirkungen auf die wissenschaftliche Praxis, die wissenschaftliche Politikberatung, die Wissenschaftspolitik und die Wissenschaftskultur. Diese lassen sich, so zeigt die Autorin, nur durch Gesetzesrevisionen auflösen. Voraussetzung für die gesetzliche Regelung des Verhältnisses von Staat und Wissenschaft in der Schweiz ist aber die Verankerung des Wissenschaftsbegriffs in der schweizerischen Bundesverfassung.

Published: April 2023

Background:

While terminal ileitis is most often associated with Crohn’s disease, it has a broad differential, including malignancy.

Case Presentation:

We report an 83-year-old female with fever and right lower quadrant abdominal pain. An imaging study revealed an abscess located at a thickened terminal ileum. The etiology of terminal ileitis was unclear, but symptoms subsided with antibiotics and cessation of naproxen. Two years later, the patient presented with similar symptoms and imaging findings. Colonoscopy revealed a submucosal mass, which was found to be adenocarcinoma, located in the cecum and terminal ileum.

Conclusion:

This case highlights that differential for cecal adenocarcinoma with extension into the terminal ileum should be considered in those presenting with terminal ileitis and abscess formation.

Published: April 2023

Background: Craniosynostosis, the premature closure of skull sutures, can cause a misshapen head and neurologic issues. Surgical correction may result in bone defects requiring additional surgery.
Case Presentation: We present a 5-year-old female who underwent cranioplasty for a skull defect and bulging brain after craniosynostosis surgery. Cranioplasty corrected the defect's functional and cosmetic aspects. computed tomography (CT) with 3D reconstruction confirmed findings and aided planning. The patient underwent cranioplasty using mesh over the defect and had an unremarkable recovery. A 5-year-old had residual craniosynostosis bone defect and a bulging brain. Cranioplasty used mesh over the defect and had unremarkable recovery. Early intervention and a multidisciplinary approach are key. More research is needed on this condition's prevalence, causes, and management.
Conclusion: This case emphasizes early intervention and a multidisciplinary approach for craniosynostosis and related defects. A team approach addressing the condition's physical and psychological impacts on the child and family is crucial for optimal outcomes. Cranioplasty is critical, and success depends on expertise. This case highlights the importance of timely, appropriate craniosynostosis management and related defect care. We hope this report contributes to the literature and improves outcomes for patients undergoing cranioplasty after craniosynostosis surgery
Geology, morphology and mineralogy of sulfide-carbonate hydrothermal-bacterial structures on the surface of Tessel paleovolcano lava (south coast of Crimea)
Authors: Lysenko V. I. , Kotlyarov V. A. , Mihaylichenko T. V.
Published: April 2023

Research subject. Sulfide-carbonate hydrothermal-bacterial structures on the surface of Tessel paleovolcano lava.   Materials and methods. The structures under study were found during detailed geological works. Petrographic thin sections were studied using an Olympus Bx5 microscope. Carbonate and sulfide samples were examined using an RZMMA-202M scanning electron microscope.

   Results. For the first time, the contacts of the studied structures with their enclosing siltstones and mudstones were described. The structures are of tubular and flat shapes. In terms of mineral composition, the structures exhibit three zones: central, lateral and that of bacterial overgrowth. The middle part of the central zone features a fluid channel with inclusions of quartz, barite, nakrite, galena, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, pyrite, shells of largefauna, ash and tuff material. Spherulites and microtubular carbonate formations testify to the participation of bacterial and archaean communities in the construction process. The study of carbonates and sulfides confirmed the use of deep fluids by prokaryotes.

   Conclusion. The main role in the formation of the sulfide-carbonate hydrothermal-bacterial structures under study belonged to the community of prokaryotes and fluids from the depths. The external morphology of the studied structures along with the presence of mineralogical zonality, a fluid channel, oil products, and oases of life with a large fauna indicate the similarity of their formation conditions to those of sulfide-carbonate smokers of the Piip volcano. Some differences in the mineral composition are associated with different depths and fluids of their formation.
Forms of presence, interrelation and genetic significance of Al and Li impurities in quartz of gold deposits of the Darasunsky ore field (Eastern Transbaikalia, Russia)
Authors: Rakov L. T. , Prokofiev V. Yu. , Minervina E. A. , Zorina L. D.
Published: April 2023

Research subject. The distribution regularities of Al and Li impurities in gold-ore quartz.

   Materials and methods. The quartz of the Darasun, Teremkinskoye and Talatuy gold deposits of the Darasun ore field was studied. The gross contents of Al and Li impurities in quartz were determined by the LA-ICP-MS method; substitutional Al impurity concentrations were studied by the EPR method. The forms of Al impurity in quartz were determined based on the results of studying its behavior during material recrystallization. The genetic significance of Al and Li impurities in quartz was estimated taking into account the genetic information obtained during the study of the distribution of substitutional Al and Ti impurity concentrations.

   Results. It was found that Al is present in quartz in two main forms, i. e., as a substitutional Al impurity and Al complexes localized in the areas of high mineral defectiveness. Li+ ions are located in the structural channels of the mineral, serving as compensating ions for both Al impurity forms. The composition of Al complexes is assumed to include three Al3+ ions and one H+ or Li+ ion. Two stages of quartz recrystallization occurring at different temperatures of mineral formation were identified. The first, low-temperature stage leads to quartz enrichment with substitutional Al impurities. The second, high-temperature stage causes the decomposition of Al complexes. The recrystallization stages can be identified by the type of relationship between the gross concentrations of Al and Li. The increased content of Al impurity in ore quartz was found to be related to the presence of a large number of Al complexes. An assumption is made that these complexes formed during mineral crystallization from solutions with a high content of metal ions.

   Conclusions. The results obtained indicate that high Al impurity concentrations can serve as a genetic sign of ore quartz. At the same time, the decomposition of Al complexes during quartz recrystallization should be taken into account. A method for estimating the initial concentration of Al complexes is proposed, which is a more reliable genetic indicator.

Published: April 2023

Background. Vaccine refusal is a global trend and was announced as one of the top ten health threats in recent years. The rate of vaccine refusal (VR) among children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has also increased in parallel with the global trend but their vaccination behavior may differ from that of the normal population. This study aims to determine the VR rates among parents of children with ASD, to define the risk factors for developing VR, and to evaluate the parental concerns for childhood vaccinations in this susceptible population.
Methods. We conducted a 4-part survey questionnaire among parents of children with ASD, evaluating the vaccination status for both the child with ASD and their younger sibling. The vaccination uptake of the first child was accepted as the `baseline` behavior, while the following sibling`s uptake was suggested as the `current` behavior. The risk factors of VR were determined with logistic regression analysis.
Results. The study group included 110 parents of children with ASD (M/F:76/34) and their younger siblings (M/F:57/53). The rate of `baseline VR` was 12.7 % whereas the `current VR` was 40% (p=0.001). High socioeconomic status (relative risk [RR]: 4.4; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-16.6; p=0.04), using social media as the main source of information (RR: 7; 95% CI: 1.5-32; p= 0.01) and lack of regular well-child visits of the sibling (RR: 25; 95% CI 4.1-166; p=0.001) were determined as risk factors for VR.
Conclusions. The vaccination behavior of parents changed after having a child with ASD, and thus, the younger siblings may constitute a risk group for VR. In clinical practice, pediatricians should be aware of this risk and evaluate the vaccination uptake of the younger siblings of children with ASD more carefully. Regular well-child visits and improving media literacy may be the key points to prevent VR in this susceptible population.
The risk factors for food allergy in infants with atopic dermatitis

Background. There is a lack of information about which risk factors accompany food allergy (FA) in infants with atopic dermatitis (AD). We hypothesized that we would be able to predict FA through risk factors in infants with AD.
Methods. This prospective descriptive cross-sectional study was performed with infants aged 1-12 months with newly diagnosed AD. The SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) and Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), Infants` Dermatitis Quality Of Life (IDQOL), and Family Dermatological Life Quality (FDLQ) index scores were calculated at first admission. We developed a new tool, Sites of Eczema (SoE), to score sites of eczema on the body.
Results. A total of 279 infants with AD were included. FA was found in 166 (59.5%) infants with AD, of whom 112 had single and 54 had multiple FAs. The SCORAD index, EASI scores, IDQOL1, IDQOL2, and FDQL, and SoE scores were higher in the subgroup with FA compared to that without FA (p < 0.001). In the multivariate regression model, eosinophil count (odds ratio [OR]=1.00, 95% confidence interval: [CI, 1.00-1.00]; p=0.008), serum total IgE level (OR=1.02, 95% CI: [1.00-1.03]; p=0.002), pruritus score (OR=0.87, 95% CI: [0.77-0.97]; p=0.019), SCORAD index (OR=1.04, 95% CI: [1.01-1.08]; p=0.008), FDQL index (OR=1.09, 95% CI: [1.01-1.18]; p=0.014), and SoE score (OR=1.48, 95% CI: [1.00-2.19]; p=0.046) were identified as the highest risk factors for FA in infants with AD.
Conclusions. Serum total IgE levels, eosinophil counts and ratio, SCORAD index and EASI scores, IDQOL and FDLQ index, pruritus and sleep disturbance scores, and SoE scores were identified as risk factors for FA in infants with AD in this study. The SoE score is an important risk factor for FA in infants with AD. We recommend that the risk factors for FA in patients with AD guide the management of these patients.
Smog Signals, Dog Sirens: Jia Zhangke, Lacan, and the Anthropocene
Authors: Siu Anthony
Published: April 2023

This study is a critique of two overlooked shorts of Jia Zhangke, a leading figure from the sixth generation of Chinese filmmakers: Smog Journeys (2015) and The Condition of Dogs (2001). Contemplating the imminent demise of human and animal lives represented, it argues that the looming ecological crises in the films stress biological finitude to such an extent that fear and pity disavow the truth about capitalist co-optation. To understand capitalism’s operation behind a catastrophic Anthropocene, I put the films into dialogues with Lacan’s “University Discourse” and “Hysteric’s Discourse”, formal structures that challenge and reshape the immediate identification of a narrative. With their attention to signifiers and affect, these formal structures enable us to understand how images and sounds focalize the viewers’ experience of fear and pity while unearthing the truth about the foreclosure of capitalist ideology. But instead of performing a strictly close-reading of each film, my critique elaborates more on the very psychoanalytic logic of Lacan’s two structures. My wish is that it allows us to see how complex visual and acoustic experience could be in shaping our identification beyond socio-cultural reflections and pure aesthetics.

Ghosting Us All: How Hollywood Obscures the Same Environmental Issues It Foregrounds
Authors: Miller Blair
Published: April 2023

There is no shortage of disaster films in Hollywood. Be they natural, technologically driven, and/or the result of ideological structures that act on exploitative terms, film protagonists and societies at large engage with environmental disasters with regularity. However, if there is any change in the proliferation of such disasters and their causes, it is an increase, not a decrease or even critical discourse. Why do moviegoers experience such undeniable displays of environmental issues, yet generally are not granted access to such critical discourses by those displays? Using two blatantly similar endings to the films San Andreas and Skyscraper as a starting point, this paper examines the phenomenon of haunting to help explain how and why it can be that some of the more overt themes in Hollywood disaster films have such minimal effect upon the collective consciousness. Part theoretical considerations, part filmic narrative analysis that follows from them, the work here will bring together iterations of hauntology, Freud’s death drive, and capitalism to demonstrate shared aspects of all three that reduce the real environmental concerns at the forefront of the films’ plots to eco-ghosts. As ghosts, those concerns are present but also avoid direct discourse or resolution in virtue of haunting. Along with those of Thanos from the films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the experiences of the two protagonists played by Dwayne Johnson in the aforementioned films will be shown to be haunted themselves in ways that take them and the viewer close to eco issues at hand, but not in any substantive way – thus reinforcing and safeguarding the very capitalism that repeats such disasters.

Between Images and Texts: Vilém Flusser at the Intersection of Art and the Post-Historic Crisis
Authors: Pazetto Debora , De Oliveira Rachel Cecília
Published: April 2023

Vilém Flusser argues that human beings are active parts in a socio-historic fabric made of images, texts, numbers, spoken languages and other symbolic codes shared intersubjectively. Flusser constantly refers to three basic communication codes: written texts, traditional images directly produced by humans, and technical images produced by the mediation of apparatus. Technical images are the focus of his attention because of their critical complexity, which points to the relation with the image-text that structures them. This establishes a recurrent reception scenario in which their “textual” aspect is neglected, leading to a direct association between technical images, like videos or photographs, and reality. Since they are not perceived as symbolic codes, but as mechanical manifestations of reality, observers do not focus on the work of deciphering them. This paper points to the possibility that forms of experimentation-and-deciphering that are more common in the field of arts could work as a model to overcome this communicational crisis of post-history.
