Background and aims

Celebrity worship, defined as an excessive admiration towards celebrities, has generated considerable research and public interest. A widely used assessment instrument to measure celebrity worship is the 23-item Celebrity Attitude Scale. However, concerns have been raised regarding the measurement, including the inconsistent factor structure and lack of a cut-off point to identify “celebrity worshipers”. The present study aims to address these concerns by testing the psychometric appropriateness of a short, 7-item version of the CAS (i.e., CAS-7) and estimating the prevalence of individuals with high-level celebrity admiration using a representative sample of Hungarian adults (between 18 and 64 years of age) according to gender, age, geographic location, and size of residence.

Methods

The total sample comprised 2028 respondents, of which 769 valid responses were administered from participants who reported having a favorite celebrity (51.11% men, Mage = 36.38 years, SD = 13.36).

Results

Results indicated an excellent model fit for the two-factor and bifactor model of the CAS-7. Based on the suggested cut-off score of 26, the prevalence of high-level celebrity admiration is 4.53% in the Hungarian adult population (18–64 years of age) and 8.51% among young adults (18–34 years of age). Individuals with this high level of admiration towards a favorite celebrity reported more symptoms of problematic Internet use, depression, anxiety, and stress than individuals with general celebrity admiration levels.

Discussion and conclusions

The CAS-7 demonstrated sound psychometric properties, confirming its applicability in research and practice.

Published: April 2024

The ultimate goal in implantology is to restore the whole tooth–gingival complex in a fashion that cannot be distinguished from the rest of the natural dentition. This study assesses the volumetric and clinical changes in vestibular gingival soft tissues, crucial for satisfactory engraftment and esthetic results, upon treatment with laser-aided pouch roll augmentation in second-stage surgery for dental implant uncovering. Twelve patients with mild ridge deficiencies in 16 edentulous sites, including distal elements, were enrolled and reevaluated for up to 1 year. Digital impressions, taken with an intraoral laser scanner and software, were analyzed before (day 0) and after (month 12) treatment. The digital STL files were superimposed to assess volumetric and linear dimensional variations in selected peri-implant regions of interest by 3D analysis software. Clinical periodontal parameters (probing depth [PD], bleeding on probing [BoP], plaque index [PI]) and subjective patient-reported outcomes were also evaluated. In all patients, the applied technique induced a substantial increase in the volume of the vestibular peri-implant gingiva at 12-month follow-up (range, 24%–69%, mean 40.4%) with respect to day 0. The gingival mucosa appeared normal at both inspection and evaluation of the periodontal parameters (PD 2.7 ± 1 mm; BoP 0.11 ± 0.2 seconds; PI 0.19 ± 0). Patients’ satisfaction with perceived pain/discomfort and esthetic outcome was high. These findings indicate that laser-aided pouch roll flap is a safe, patient-liked procedure whose long-term effectiveness has been objectively demonstrated by volumetric and clinical assessment.

A Review Paper on Machine Learning in Pattern Recognition
Authors: Pateriya Nidhi , Thakre Neha , Anjum Gulafsha
Published: April 2024

Supervised or unsupervised classification is the main goal of pattern recognition. The statistical approach is the most popular approach that prevails among the many frameworks in which pattern recognition is initially formulated. Recently, more attention has been paid to neural network techniques and methods derived from statistical learning theory. This requires attention to the design of the sensor system. There are various issues related to the design of identification systems. They are the definition of pattern classes, the detection and extraction environment, representation and feature selection, cluster analysis, classifier design, learning and selection of training and test samples. There is no solution to the general problem of complex pattern recognition associated with arbitrary patterns. Data mining, web search, and multimedia retrieval have several emerging applications that require appropriate and effective tuning techniques. The main goal of this article is to provide a detailed description of different methods that can be used in different stages of a pattern recognition system. The purpose of this paper is also to explore research topics in application that can be highlighted in this challenging field.
Depicting Scent: Incense Burners in the French Engravings of the 18th Century
Authors:   Ural State University of Architecture and Art named after N. S. Alferov, Ekaterinburg, Borshch Elena V.
Published: April 2024

This article is devoted to the comparative study of images of the incense burner, i.e. a device for filling the interior with a pleasing scent. The author refers to materials from French design and book engravings of the eighteenth century. The article contains descriptions and results of a comparative analysis of engraved images of incense burners in the works of French decorators and illustrators of the eighteenth century. A comparative study of incense burners as a sketch of an interior item and as the entourage of a book illustration makes it possible to trace the changes in their typology, style, and semantics over the eighteenth century. The article refers to engraved sketches of incense burners in the projects of French architects and ornamentalists of the eighteenth century, such as J. Bйren, B. Turreau, J.-M. Oppenord, J.-F. Blondel, J.-Ch. Delafosse, J.-F. de Nefforge, J.-F. Boucher, R. De La Londe, and J.-F. Forty. Secondly, it draws upon book engravings depicting incense burners created by such artists as C. Gillot, L.-F. Dubourg, H.-F. Gravelot, F. Boucher, Ch. Eisen, J.-J.-F. Le Barbier, K.-P. Marillier, J.-M. Moreau le Jeune, J. de Sиve, and A. Borel. As a result of the description and analysis of images, the author determines the genres and features of the iconography of the incense burner. A comparative analysis of design and book engravings helps address the problem of the genesis of the image of the incense burner in illustrations. The author substantiates the direct influence of design engravings on the images of incense burners in book illustrations and at the same time, the absence of a “literal” influence of literary texts, pointing out the stable continuity of images of the incense burner in similar works of illustrators for different editions of the same literary text. In a comparative aspect, the article analyses the semantics of images of the incense burner in the design and book engravings, noting the predominance of the sensual-hedonistic connotation of the images of the incense burner over the eighteenth century.
New Method for Assessing the Level of Economic Development with Reference to Shipbuilding in Russia. Review of: Polikarpov, V. V. (2023). Korablestroenie pri imperatore Nikolae II. Ocherki tekhno­logicheskoi istorii [Shipbuilding under Emperor Nicholas II. Essays on Technological History]. Moscow: Novyi Khronograf. 351 p.
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ekaterinburg, Shumkin Georgy N.
Published: April 2024

The article presents a brief review of V. V. Polikarpov’s monograph Shipbuilding under Emperor Nicholas II. Essays on Technological History. The reviewer notes the author’s original approach and large-scale conclusions that open new prospects in the study of Russia’s socio-economic development in the early twentieth century. Since these conclusions are clearly polemical in nature, the reviewer makes several objections. Firstly, the emphasis on the most advanced technologies causes doubt; the author of the monograph believes that “poods of fuel and metal” are not a sufficiently objective criterion of the level of economic development. Secondly, the idea of ranking national economies by the level of development of military technologies is not very convincing. Thirdly, there are questions concerning the argumentation system. Consciously refusing to use statistical sources, the author mainly relies on clerical documentation and journalism. As a result, the book forms a very specific picture of the development of shipbuilding in Russia in the period between the Russian-Japanese War and World War I.

SOLVING STOCHASTIC INVERSE PROBLEMS FOR CFD USING DATA-CONSISTENT INVERSION AND AN ADAPTIVE STOCHASTIC COLLOCATION METHOD
Authors: Amino Hector , Belme Anca Claudia , Chassaing Jean-Camille , Wildey Timothy
Published: April 2024

The inverse problem we consider takes a given model and an observed (or target) output probability density function
(pdf) on quantities of interest and builds a new model input pdf which is consistent with both the model and the data
in the sense that the push-forward of this pdf through the model matches the given observed pdf. However, model
evaluations in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tend to require significant computational resources, which makes
solving stochastic inverse problems in CFD is very costly. To address this issue, we present a nonintrusive adaptive
stochastic collocation method coupled with a data-consistent inference framework to efficiently solve stochastic inverse
problems in CFD. This surrogate model is built using an adaptive stochastic collocation approach based on a stochastic
error estimator and simplex elements in the parameter space. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated on
analytical test cases and two CFD configurations. The metamodel inference results are shown to be as accurate as
crude Monte Carlo inferences while performing 103 less deterministic computations for smooth and discontinuous
response surfaces. Moreover, the proposed method is shown to be able to reconstruct both an observed pdf on the data
and key components of a data-generating distribution in the uncertain parameter space.

Abstract - All readers have their own strategies while reading. They do face difficulties in using the appropriate strategy because they blend all the strategies to obtain or achieve specific criteria to achieve the desired comprehension, and in the end, they land up in significant confusion and inefficient reading. This paper aims to identify the vital reading strategies used mainly by the technical students while reading a text and further to classify the reading strategies under the designated criteria that are necessary to be practiced developing the reading efficiency among the technical students. Instead, if they try to find out the specific strategy to follow up for gaining the desired criterion, that will indeed help them better read any text. This paper is validated and illustrated mathematically using Multi-Criteria Decision- Making representation in assessing the data collected from students at different engineering colleges, including some central technical institutions. This paper provides technical students with an idea of using a specific and appropriate strategy which helps them in the application of precis strategy while facing challenges in different aspects while reading.

Authors: PANIS KASEKER Mônica , YOSHIKO OTA Angela ,   Universidade Estadual de Londrina
Published: April 2024

A proposta deste texto é refletir sobre como a comunicação hegemônica, em especial o telejornalismo, tem se relacionado com a temática indígena no Brasil e imaginar possibilidades de decolonizar as representações midiáticas dos povos indígenas a partir da superação da visão eurocêntrica. Em especial, nos interessa pensar na abordagem jornalística e a necessária superação do paradigma da tutela para que os indígenas tornem-se sujeitos comunicacionais. Destacamos como fundamental o giro decolonial da autorrepresentação dos povos indígenas para a transformação dessas relações e o maior protagonismo indígena nas produções telejornalísticas.

La perspectiva decolonial tiene su origen en la modernidad europea, que para Enrique Dussel (2000) comenzó con la conquista de las naciones y territorios ubicados en lo que ahora se conoce como continente americano, donde se impuso violentamente un modelo civilizatorio anclado a la universalización de una visión particular, el ethos europeo, como parte de un proyecto de dominación ontológica que se extendió geopolíticamente sobre los sures e incide hasta el presente en la subalternización y la racialización de las relaciones humanas, el conocimiento y las subjetividades dentro de los mundos.

Authors: Wilczek Witold
Published: April 2024

The aim of this article is to introduce the reader to the figure of Aleksey Stanchinsky and to briefly characterize his work created during the decline of tsarist Russia. The text is divided into three parts. The first one provides a picture of the cultural context in which this artist worked. It is an outline of the leading artistic tendencies and trends in Russia, including the artistic milieu at the turn of the 20th century. The second part contains a biographical sketch of the composer, whose illness, unhappy life and, as a consequence, his premature death had a fundamental impact on his legacy. The third part constitutes an attempt to classify and characterize Stanchinsky’s work based on available materials and own research.
Piano Waltzes in the Works of Aleksander Zarzycki (1834–1895)
Authors: Muras Wioleta
Published: April 2024

Aleksander Zarzycki’s piano works are represented, in addition to other genres, by waltzes, of which he composed five. The first three, Grande valse Op. 4, Valse brillante Op. 8 and Grand valse Op. 18, are considered concert waltzes – larger in size and characterised by a variety of melodic ideas. They form an example showing that the composer continued to work with the traditional ternary form (ABA₁). Internally, these works are very elaborate. Zarzycki extensively employs the technique of variation, crafting new melodies by referencing a key motif, and imitation (of a motif or phrase) in both hand parts. The main tonalities are maintained only in short sections. The waltzes typically display frequent mode changes and more distant keys that are introduced through progressions or sometimes even through direct key changes without any modulation. The last two waltzes, Valse-Impromptu Op. 24 No. 2 and En valsant Op. 34 No. 3, due to their size can be categorised as piano miniatures. Formally, like those mentioned earlier, they have a ternary form, with a contrasted middle movement (in a dominant relation), but they are far less melodically differentiated. All five waltzes fit the style. Undoubtedly, the mentioned music pieces are technically and interpretively challenging due to their large jumps, use of chords with a wide span up to a twelfth, and varying melody and key. The article also discusses the matter of dating works, editions, dedications, and first performances that was made possible based on source research.

Desconexión de sí y distancia
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Cardona-Suárez Luis Fernando
Published: April 2024

Este artículo analiza la desconexión de sí como caracterización fenomenológica de una enfermedad destructora como el Alzheimer. Queremos mostrar que, en los casos más extremos de su desarrollo, el paciente se hunde en una desvinculación emocional producto de la plasticidad destructiva que lo afecta. Este aislamiento implica un desafío emocional para los familiares que observan que su ser querido se desconecta y que ellos no pueden hacer nada para evitarlo. No obstante, los familiares buscan asistir al ser querido en su marginación. El alcance de este acompañamiento revela la experiencia humana del consuelo como respuesta intersubjetiva frente a esta desconexión. El análisis de esta desconexión muestra, de manera paradójica, la necesidad humana de poner distancia ante un sufrimiento extremo y con ello señala, a la vez, su límite. El análisis antropológico de los dispositivos de la actio per distans puede ofrecer un soporte trascendental a las éticas de la ternura frente a la vivencia de esta enfermedad.
Neonatal suffering, theories of suffering, phenomenology, existential feelings
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Ramos-dos-Reis Róbson
Published: April 2024

Neonatal suffering has been the focus of recent debate in pediatric bioethics and suffering theory. How to access and conceptualize the suffering that can be attributed to newborns? How to discern the suffering of newborns who, due to being non-neurotypical, may have a short life and severe neurocognitive disabilities, in addition to being entirely dependent on people or life-sustaining technologies? Phenomenology has provided valuable tools for analysing human experiences of suffering, but its application to the neonatal suffering experience is not without fundamental challenges. In this article, I will consider recent contributions to elucidating the phenomenon of neonatal suffering, especially those in the field of non-experiential theories of suffering. Based on this review, a recent phenomenological approach to suffering will be examined. Explicitly directed toward narrative persons, this approach appears to be inherently limited in elucidating the phenomenon of neonatal pediatric suffering. Nevertheless, a suggestion will be offered to partially elaborate the theoretical foundations of a phenomenological theory of neonatal suffering. This suggestion points to the program of a phenomenology of the existential feelings of newborns.

La Asociación Colombiana de Facultades, Programas y Departamento de Economía – AFADECO– viene de publicar el “Marco de referencia para las competencias específicas del economista en Colombia” (2023). Se trata de un documento que pretender servir de referente conceptual para que los pregrados de Economía reorienten el perfil de egreso profesional, con el fin de acatar los preceptos del Decreto 1330 de 2019, expedido por el Ministerio de Educación, para la obtención de su registro calificado y del Acuerdo 02 del CESU (Consejo Nacional de Educación Superior) para la acreditación de alta calidad. Sin embargo, más allá de buscar el acatamiento de unas normas, este marco de referencia presenta de manera concisa el sentido del quehacer del economista, lo cual es valioso para motivar el acceso de nuevos jóvenes bachilleres a los programas de Economía.

In this article, a comparison between nine traditional models of productivity measurement and a transdisciplinary model is made. The study includes a description of the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of the most used models worldwide by for-profit organizations, as well as those of a new transdisciplinary model. The scientometric and bibliometric analyses are the primary sources in the definition of the representative elements of each model and the particularities that influence the measurement of company productivity. In addition, applied research is used through inquiry to professionals from different areas, businessmen, employees, and researchers related to the manufacturing area, with the aim of obtaining differential information about the models. The results indicate that the use of the total productivity measurement model predominates due to ease of implementation; on the other hand, data envelopment analysis (DEA) is little used because it is strongly impacted when comparing multiple variables; economic models are generally used to estimate government taxes. Finally, the research shows that the generalization of the use of a transdisciplinary model to measure productivity is feasible; however, the model requires an integral structure that allows it to adapt to changing global conditions.

En este artículo se determinan las percepciones que tienen los stakeholders de una biblioteca universitaria, con base en la identidad y la imagen como intangibles, a través de una propuesta metodológica para la evaluación diagnóstica y el monitoreo periódico de la imagen corporativa. Para lograrlo, se utilizaron tres instrumentos de recolección de información: el instrumento OCAI (Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument) aplicado a la directiva y empleados de la biblioteca, un cuestionario de 22 preguntas y grupos focales con estudiantes de diferentes programas académicos. Se evidencia que los estudiantes ubican a la biblioteca en el nivel de reconocimiento o notoriedad y que la imagen ideal de la dirección de la biblioteca se enfoca en una cultura de clan. Sin embargo, se requiere desarrollar estrategias como la implementación de redes sociales, la construcción de espacios para el trabajo individual y colectivo y la apertura de espacios para los encuentros culturales que contribuyan a su gestión reputacional.

En este artículo, se analiza la relación entre la autopercepción de la alfabetización mediática, informacional y digital de los futuros docentes de telesecundaria y sus características sociodemográficas, como el sexo, la edad y el año académico. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo y correlacional en una muestra de 148 estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Enseñanza y Aprendizaje de Telesecundaria de una escuela normal en Veracruz, México. Los datos se recolectaron mediante un cuestionario ad hoc,y su evaluación se llevó a cabo a través de métodos estadísticos como la prueba t, la correlación de Spearman y análisis de varianza. Los resultados revelaron que no existen diferencias significativas en este tipo de alfabetización en función del sexo, la edad o el año académico. Además, la mayoría de los estudiantes se autoperciben con un nivel intermedio de esta competencia. Este hallazgo subraya la importancia de investigaciones futuras para una evaluación objetiva y el fortalecimiento de programas formativos en alfabetización mediática, informacional y digital para futuros docentes.

Background: The tuna industry is one of the most essential sectors in global food production. Nevertheless, commercial meat known as "tuna loin" holds the utmost significance in producing and marketing its various products. Regrettably, fractions like tail and head meat have been overlooked and wasted due to their comparatively lower commercial value. Despite possessing notable technological value, this meat is typically reutilized into animal feed through flour production, missing the chance to create alternative high-value food products. Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the sausages produced with the underutilized cuts of tuna (tail and head meat). Methods: The tuna utilized were Big-eye (Thunus obesus) and Skip-jack (Katsuwonus pelamis lineaus). Three (3) different types of sausages were formulated using 100% of Big-eye (BE), 100% of Skip-jack (SJ) tuna meat, and 100% of beef/pork meat (Control). The sausage pH changes during storage at 4 ± 1oC were analyzed and compared with the control. Proximal, microbiological, and sensory characteristics were evaluated. Results: The pH of sausages showed that the values tended to decrease in control, while this value increased in two types of tuna. The formulated tuna sausages yielded 72% moisture, 18% protein, 4.1% lipid, 0.4% ash, 0.4 % fiber, and 4.5% carbohydrates. Sensory attributes showed excellent acceptance regarding color, smell, flavor, and texture. Overall acceptability was qualified as "liked," and the acceptability index ranged from 76% to 86%. During the refrigeration storage, the microbiological analyses indicated that the total coliform count was < 3 CFU/g. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and mesophilic aerobic bacteria in tuna sausage showed absence during 24 days of storage. Conclusion: Using tuna tail and head meat enabled the development of gel-type emulsified products (sausages) that exhibited good nutritional, sensory, and microbiological quality.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CURRENT STATE OF THE UKRAINIAN DIASPORA IN THE BALTIC COUNTRIES ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS OF FIELD RESEARCH
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Myroniuk Olena

Background. Ukrainian communities are extremely active abroad, and the Baltic countries are no exception. Comparing Ukrainian communities in these geographically close countries, it should be noted that they have many differences in their development. Every year, the number of Ukrainians in these countries increases, especially after the Revolution of Dignity and the beginning of ATO in Eastern Ukraine. It is worth noting that Ukrainian communities in these countries have similar historical prerequisites for their creation. Formed at the beginning of the 20th century, Ukrainian communities were just beginning their active activities, which were almost stopped by the Soviet regime. Public associations of national minorities did not operate during this period due to state policy. But despite this, the number of ethnic Ukrainians here was constantly increasing. The source base for further research was formed on the basis of a survey of Ukrainians living in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Currently, there is no single thorough work that would investigate and compare the life of the Ukrainian community in the Baltic states in the modern period. Methods. The research used observational methods that allow the most complete interpretation of the obtained results. In the form of a highly specialized observation, the process of activity of the Ukrainian community in the Baltic countries as an object of research is considered. The included observation consisted of the author's direct presence in the Baltic countries, attending community events and their centers, as well as during private conversations and interviews with community members. Results. At the same time, a significant number of respondents in all three countries noted that they see themselves and their families in these countries even after 5 years. That is, we can understand that local Ukrainians have decided on their country for life and do not consider the Baltic countries as a temporary "refuge". Given that the survey itself took place before the full-scale invasion of Russia into the territory of Ukraine, the data obtained may differ, but they are important for further scientific work, as they will serve as a source for comparison in subsequent surveys and studies. Сonclusion. Therefore, it is the systematization and analysis of information about the activities of the Ukrainian community in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia that are extremely relevant, and the research conducted by the author is of an extremely important nature. After all, the Ukrainian community abroad is an important driving force for Ukrainian culture and the popularization of our traditions.
