The NFLikelihood: An unsupervised DNNLikelihood from normalizing flows
Authors: Reyes-González Humberto , Torre Riccardo
Published: July 2024

We propose the NFLikelihood, an unsupervised version, based on Normalizing Flows, of the DNNLikelihood proposed in [Eur. Phys. J. C 80, 664 (2020)]. We show, through realistic examples, how Autoregressive Flows, based on affine and rational quadratic spline bijectors, are able to learn complicated high-dimensional Likelihoods arising in High Energy Physics (HEP) analyses. We focus on a toy LHC analysis example already considered in the literature and on two Effective Field Theory fits of flavor and electroweak observables, whose samples have been obtained through the HEPFit code. We discuss advantages and disadvantages of the unsupervised approach with respect to the supervised one and discuss a possible interplay between the two.

Published: July 2024

Seaweeds have been explored by humans for thousands of years as a source of chemical compounds. This study describes the content of minerals, ash, carbohydrates, protein, lipids, and main metabolites of dichloromethane / methanol extracts of the seaweed Ulva lactuca, Padina gymnospora, Palisada perforata and Gelidiella acerosa from sandstone reefs on the Brazilian tropical coast (Pernambuco, Northeastern of Brazil). The content (% dry weight) of carbohydrates ranged from 14.35-48.52, proteins 7.49-14.98, total lipids 0.40-8.92, and ash 18.51-37.02. The concentration (mg kg dry algae-1) of Ca (900-3468), Mg (1655-4902), K (810-1707), Na (1062-4580), Mn (19-4462), and Cu (3.6-6.4) were maximum in Palisada and minimum in Padina. In turn, the lowest and highest contents (mg kg dry algae-1) of Fe (100-2312), Zn (18-43), and Cr (0.08-0.93) were recorded in Gelidiella and Ulva, respectively. Neophytadiene was the major compound. Phytol and palmitic acid were found in all seaweeds, although in low quantities. Palisada had the highest contents (% dry weight) of metabolites (neophytadiene: 23.89, phytol: 8.29; palmitic acid: 8.32), while Ulva had the lowest, except phytone, which was present only in this species. Our findings highlight the potential of these macroalgae from the coastal reefs as a source of chemical compounds.

Authors: Zhang Lan , Zhao Can , Cao Shenghua , Ye Bixiong
Published: July 2024

Water treatment infrastructure facilities play an important role in ensuring drinking water safety. A survey of the drinking water treatment process was conducted in the urban peripheral areas of Beijing, China, and the impact of the main water treatment infrastructure facilities on microbial contamination was investigated. Sedimentation equipment, filtration facilities, and disinfection equipment were all significantly correlated with the concentration of heterotrophic plate counts in drinking water. The filtration facilities and disinfection equipment were also positively correlated with the concentrations of total coliform and Escherichia coli. The removal of microorganisms by different water disinfection methods gradually decreased in the order of ozone, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and ultraviolet light. The effects of microbial contamination removal of different water pumping methods were as follows: direct water supply > pressure tank > secondary pressing pump station > water tower > high-level water tank, and the removal effects were 7.6, 7.4, 4.1, 3.6, and 1.7 times that of the self-flowing water supply. This study provides scientific support for the renovation and upgrading of microbial pollution reduction in drinking water in rural areas of the urban periphery.
Future impacts of river flow on hydropower generation in Great Britain
Authors: Golgojan Ana-Diana , White Christopher J. , Bertram Douglas
Published: July 2024

Climate change is likely to alter Great Britain's water resource availability for hydropower generation. This affects hydropower production due to uncertainty around the timing and magnitude of water availability, particularly run of river (RoR) schemes that lack the storage capacity to buffer seasonal flow variability. This study examines the likely future changes on RoR potential at locations across GB using the enhanced future flows (eFLaG) dataset. Results show that annual river flows are projected to increase in winter and spring but reduce in summer and autumn. This has an impact on RoR potential with a projected decrease in the near (2030–2059) and far future (2050–2079) for both summer (−19%, −32%) and autumn (−11%, −19%) throughout GB. Therefore, results indicate a decrease in the annual RoR potential in GB. This study underscores the importance of incorporating climate change considerations in the planning and operation of RoR schemes to ensure sustainable energy generation. This could be achieved by upgrading existing turbines to handle higher flows or designing new turbines capable of accommodating larger discharges to fully utilise the increased flows during winter. However, this should be done with consideration of the technical limitations and the opportunities for optimisations for system generation.
Analysis on the ‘Jul.20’ extreme rainstorm and flood control countermeasures in Zhengzhou, China
Authors: Zhou Ke
Published: July 2024

The Jul.20 extreme rainstorm (July 20, 2021) and flood disaster were the most serious urban flood disaster in Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan Province, China. The Jul. 20 extreme rainstorm had both extreme and unpredictable features, during which both single-day and 3-day cumulative rainfall exceeded the historical records. First, the theoretical analysis methods are proposed, which include rainstorm anomaly analysis and the construction of a rainstorm frequency calculation model. Second, the characteristics of rainstorm frequency and recurrence, spatial and temporal distribution, and formation mechanism are analyzed. Third, urban flood disasters and waterlogging distribution are studied. The studied results show that the coupling actions of typhoons, topography, and urban rain island effect are the natural causes that result in extreme rainstorm weather processes. The results also show from the investigations that poor urban drainage infrastructure, low flood control criteria, shortage of flood emergency plans, and management are human factors. Finally, the paper puts forward flood control countermeasures.
Pressure prediction of water supply network based on 1DCNN-GRU-multi-head attention
Authors: Zhao Shuaikang , Li Zhiwei , Wang Feifei , Sun Bin , Li Liutao , Zhang Haifeng
Published: July 2024

The water supply network is a crucial component of urban construction and plays a pivotal role in the normal operation of the city. The complexity and periodicity of pressure variations in the water supply networks pose significant challenges to traditional prediction models. In this study, we introduce a novel short-term pressure prediction model, termed the 1DCNN-GRU-multi-head attention (CGMA) model, which incorporates a multi-head attention mechanism alongside an integrated network consisting of one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1DCNNs) and gated recurrent units (GRUs). Initially, the model employs a 1DCNN network to extract features from the pressure data. Subsequently, the extracted features are input into the GRU neural network, leveraging its long-term dependency capabilities to improve prediction accuracy. Then, the attention mechanism is incorporated into the GRU component to highlight key information, enabling the model to focus on more important data features, thereby improving the prediction performance. We implemented this model in a real urban water distribution system equipped with five pressure sensors. The model achieved a mean absolute error of 0.00197 and a root mean square error of 0.00262. When compared with alternative approaches, our method demonstrated superior predictive performance for pressure data, thereby confirming its efficacy in practical applications.
Preservation and Strengthening of the Value and Ideological Foundations of Contemporary Russian Legal Science
Authors: Kabyshev S.
Published: July 2024

The author emphasizes the importance of scientific jurisprudence in legal consciousness formation and strengthening the legitimacy of the legal order in Russia within the context of constitutional transformation and a changing socio-historical environment across the country. As the rigid separation of politics, ideology, and jurisprudence comes under criticism, it is argued that law is interconnected with social attitudes and cannot be purely non-ideological. Additionally, the risks associated with the arbitrary borrowing of foreign ideas and applying them in Russian scientific jurisprudence are discussed, such as human rights concepts and legal globalization methods. The need to create an independent system of legal ideals based on national traditions and values is emphasized. In this regard, scientific jurisprudence lags behind practical needs and the dominance of a template-schematic approach. The author comes to the conclusion that it is important to intensify the efforts that seek to strengthen the role of Russian constitutional law in the educational process, for students of law as well as students of other disciplines.

Published: July 2024

Background:

Chagas disease has an ineffective drug treatment despite efforts made
over the last four decades. The carbonic anhydrase of Trypanosoma cruzi (α-TcCA) has emerged
as an interesting target for the design of new antiparasitic compounds due to its crucial role in parasite
processes.

Objective:

The aim in this study was identify potential α-TcCA inhibitors with trypanocidal activity.

Methods:

A maximum common substructure (MCS) and molecular docking were used to carried
out a ligand- and structure-based virtual screening of ZINC20 and MolPort databases. The compounds
selected were evaluated in an in vitro model against the NINOA strain of Trypanosoma
cruzi, and cytotoxicity was determined in a murine model of macrophage cells J774.2.

Results:

Five sulfonamide derivatives (C7, C9, C14, C19, and C21) had the highest docking scores
(-6.94 to -8.31 kcal/mol). They showed key residue interactions on the active site of the α-TcCA
and good biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic properties. C7, C9, and C21 had half-maximal
inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 26, 61.6, and 49 μM, respectively, against NINOA strain
epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi.

Conclusion:

Compounds C7, C9, and C21 showed trypanocidal activity; therefore, these results
encourage the development of new trypanocidal agents based in their scaffold.
The Essential Role of Traditional Chinese Medicine Compounds in Regulating Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress
Authors: Jin Yi , Dang Huimin , Li Meihe
Published: July 2024

Due to the lack of accurate registration of RSA and miscarriages, many early miscarriages
are overlooked and not diagnosed or treated promptly in hospitals. This uncertainty in
pathogenesis prevents clinicians from taking targeted therapeutic measures, leading to unsatisfactory
treatment outcomes and placing a heavy burden on the patient's family and the
healthcare system. Oxidative stress is present in embryonic development and affects the regulation
of oxidative stress in pregnancy and the reproductive endocrine system. Oxidative stress
injury is a significant pathogenesis of RSA, so improving the body's ability to resist oxidative
stress injury is crucial in treating RSA. For patients with RSA, there is an urgent need for safe,
efficient, and cost-effective anti-oxidative stress drugs, and there is growing evidence that
treatment with Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can improve pregnancy success with fewer
adverse effects. Many active ingredients for treating RSA are mainly derived from certain components
of TCM, including flavonoids, phenols, and other compounds, which have been shown
to treat RSA directly or indirectly by targeting anti-oxidative stress-related pathways. This article
summarizes the experimental and clinical evidence of several common TCM compounds for
treating RSA. It provides ideas and perspectives for further exploring the pathogenesis of RSA
and TCM compounds for treating RSA.
A Pilot Protection of Negative Sequence and Additional Network Considering
Photovoltaic Integration
Authors: Li Chenggang , Yu Feitong , Wu Mengyu , Liu Naiyu , Shi Zhe , Liu Yadong , Luo Guomin , Liu Wenlin
Published: July 2024

Background:

Introducing pilot protection in active distribution networks containing PV
can improve the reliability and selectivity of protection. However, the basic communication facilities
of the existing distribution network make it difficult to meet the requirements of data synchronization,
and the PV T-connection to the network leads to sudden changes in the impedance
angle.

Methods:

Therefore, pilot protection of a negative sequence and additional network considering
PV is proposed. The scheme is based on the feature that the PV model only outputs positive sequence
components after a fault. For asymmetrical faults, the negative sequence impedance detected
at both ends of the protection is utilized to construct a comparative negative sequence impedance
protection criterion. For symmetrical faults, the voltage characteristics of the faulty additional
network are utilized to construct a protection criterion.

Results:

Finally, an actual distribution network model with PV is constructed in PSCAD to verify
the effectiveness and reliability of the protection method.

Conclusion:

The protection method is selective and reliable and is not affected by high penetration
rate and PV fault characteristics.

Recent Trends in Coatings
Authors: Kant Shashi
Published: July 2024

With the demand for high-fidelity coating involving metallic, multilayer,
protective, and ceramic-based coatings, deposition methods have been introduced to
achieve quality coatings. High temperatures cause erosion-corrosion wear, oxidation,
and hot corrosion in materials operating in corrosive conditions. Among the various
methods used to protect surfaces from deterioration, the method of applying coatings
by high-velocity oxy-fuel spraying deserves special mention because it creates coatings
with increased hardness and resilience, low (less than 1%) porosity, and high erosioncorrosion and wear resistances. Deposition of these coatings using a typical thermal
spray process finds applications in the protection of base material in automobile,
aerospace, orthopaedic, thermal power plant, and gas pipeline sectors. We present the
potentials of the coatings and their respective protective properties. This chapter
provides the optimization and overviews of the use of various recently used coating
materials developed for the application in automotive, power plant, defence, gas and
steam, and orthopaedic sectors.

Terrorisme en de media
Authors: Volders Els
Published: July 2024

This article tries to put the controversial relationship between media coverage and the success of terrorism in perspective. According to most scientists the media are powerless instruments that are either used by the terrorists to create what they call ‘a theater of terror’, or by the authorities to create a powerful climate of vengeance. But if one takes other factors into account, like the influence of the public and the victims, or the ignorance of some journalists on the subject, there does not seem to be a universal harmony between media, terrorists and/or the authorities.
De cinema van Zhang Yimou: een poging tot een cross-culturele filmanalyse
Authors: Tanghe Rebecca
Published: July 2024

In this article we try to explain the problems involved in a cross-cultural analysis of the Chinese ‘fifth-generation' films. Our point of departure is the cinema of Zhang Yimou. First, we see that the reception of Zhang Yimou's films in China is totally different from the reception in Europe: while we consider the films to be beautiful and oriental, the Chinese see them as controversial and equivocal. Next, trying to find the source of this difference, we look for links in the ‘cultural intertext’ of the cinema: the symbols and images used in the Chinese culture and traditions which often remain hidden for a western audience. Zhang uses this intertext, transforms and contaminates the symbols and the images so that their meaning changes or is critically examined. In this way, he questions the traditions, the history and the customs of the Chinese people and it is in this manner that he tries to find the source of - what he calls - ‘the pathologic side of the Chinese system’.
Voor etnografie: inleiding tot etnografie als communicatiewetenschappelijke onderzoeksmethode
Authors: Dhoest Alexander
Published: July 2024

This article advocates for ethnographic audience research as a valuable complement to quantitative communication research. It gives an overview of the theoretical foundations of ethnography, its methodology and its internal controversies. ethnography studies television viewers' concrete, active media use, and the meaning they attribute to it. The tension between viewer freedom and determination (by the text and the viewer's social position) is of crucial importance here. Ethnography is faced with a host of methodological problems, but it is nevertheless a valuable instrument to study the process of meaning production involved in media use.
De Latijns-Amerikaanse telenovela: tussen media-imperialisme en cultureel pluralisme
Authors: Meers Philippe
Published: July 2024

Several Latin American scholars have made a substantial contribution to the paradigmatic debate on international communication. In this debate between adherents of media imperialism and cultural pluralism theses, the telenovela is introduced as an interesting case. It is often considered to be a classic example of contra flow: the export of television programmes against the unilateral flows from the US and Europe to the so-called Third World. It is supposed to be the ultimate refutation of the media imperialism thesis. The actual value of the telenovela as an argument for declining dependency is evaluated on different levels: ownership and production system of the telenovela industry, content and values of the programmes and especially contra flow from the South to the North. Partly on the basis of a study on telenovela flows to Europe, critical remarks are formulated on the validity of the telenovela as contra flow and on the optimism of cultural pluralism theories.
Ontspannende spanning: kijkmotieven en de rol van emoties in reality-tv
Authors: Minnebo Jurgen
Published: July 2024

The 'uses-and-gratifications' approach explains media use as a result of the needs of the consumer. This theory, however, pays little attention to the way the user obtains gratifications from media-content. Obviously, the communicator has a part in this as well. Taking the concepts 'gratifications sought’ and 'gratifications obtained' as a starting point, this article tries to illustrate the interaction between communicator and receiver in the case of reality tv.
Sekseverschillen in interactiegedrag: een verschuiving in verklaringsparadigma's
Authors: Broos Agnetha
Published: July 2024

Men and women communicate in different ways. Their interaction patterns differ at both the verbal and the nonverbal level. Next to descriptive analysis, research has also aimed to explain sex differences in interaction behaviour. The oldest explanatory paradigm, “the dominance approach’, considers women as a suppressed group. In this view, sex differences in communication behaviour can be attributed to male dominance and female subordination. However, in the past 10 years, the dominance approach is being questioned and is increasingly replaced by the “difference approach’. This model emphasises the idea that men and women are socialised in two different subcultures and consequently develop different interaction patterns.

A Case Report on Infant Aural Rehabilitation Using Korean Auditory, Language, and Cognitive Rehabilitation for Infants
Authors: Mun Chaekyung , Yu Chaeyeon , Kim Jinsook
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this paper is to report the effectiveness and significance of aural rehabilitation using the Korean Auditory, language, and cognitive Rehabilitation for Infants (KARI) program. The KARI program was administered to an infant diagnosed with hearing loss at 9 months of age. A total of 45 KARI sessions were conducted for 13 months. Four developmental areas, auditory, language and social communication, overall and vocal and articulatory were evaluated at 10, 15, and 18 months of age for initial, progress, and final tests. After aural rehabilitation with KARI, in the area of auditory development, the infant showed normal range. In the area of language and social communication, the infant exhibited normal receptive language and non-verbal communication skills but showed significant delays in speech due to the diagnosed submucous cleft palate. In the area of overall developmental screening, Korean Developmental Screening Test for Infants & Children scores were at peer level in cognition and social skills. However, gross motor, fine motor, language, and self-help skills were in the range of needing further testing. In the areas of vocalization and articulation, vocalization showed normal range, but articulation development showed delayed development. Although development of expressive language and articulation was delayed due to submucous cleft palate, the overall results showed good progression with KARI in other areas. Therefore, it is hoped that the KARI would be used to promote aural rehabilitation for the infants with hearing impaired.
The Best of Two Worlds to Promote Healthy Cognitive Aging: Definition and Classification Approach of Hybrid Physical Training Interventions

Published: July 2024

A healthy lifestyle can be an important prerequisite to prevent or at least delay the onset of dementia. However, the large number of physically inactive adults underscores the need for developing and evaluating intervention approaches aimed at improving adherence to a physically active lifestyle. In this regard, hybrid physical training, which usually combines center- and home-based physical exercise sessions and has proven successful in rehabilitative settings, could offer a promising approach to preserving cognitive health in the aging population. Despite its potential, research in this area is limited as hybrid physical training interventions have been underused in promoting healthy cognitive aging. Furthermore, the absence of a universally accepted definition or a classification framework for hybrid physical training interventions poses a challenge to future progress in this direction. To address this gap, this article informs the reader about hybrid physical training by providing a definition and classification approach of different types, discussing their specific advantages and disadvantages, and offering recommendations for future research. Specifically, we focus on applying digital technologies to deliver home-based exercises, as their use holds significant potential for reaching underserved and marginalized groups, such as older adults with mobility impairments living in rural areas.

Published: July 2024

Since the end of the twentieth century, a new epistemic discourse on education has emerged. This discourse appears in tandem with the enthusiasm of the pioneers of the new age of science movement in offering brilliant ideas as an alternative to modern scientific epistemology. This study aims to provide a new epistemological construction of education synthesized from contemporary Muslim scholars' ideas and works. This study adopts the narrative literature review method. We use this method to locate the literature on contemporary epistemology and the current educational crisis. This study has not only succeeded in making abstractions from the ideas of Muslim scholars but also in synthesizing three patterns of scholarly entity ideas: figures of new epistemological movements, with their characteristics of eclecticism, religious syncretism, monism, pantheism, exaltation of humanity, transformative, ecologically oriented, and holistic; and ideas from critical pedagogical figures; and most importantly, the standpoints of contemporary Muslim scholars. The construction of a new epistemology of education moves from monotheism as the foundation of education, restructuring the educational curriculum based on the structure of Islamic knowledge, and a vision of education that equally respects and liberates human beings.
Pertempuran Rusia-Uthmaniyah 1877-1878 dan Impaknya terhadap Muslim Bulgaria The Battle of Russo-Ottoman 1877-1878 and Its Impact on Muslims in Bulgaria
Authors: Enh Azlizan Mat
Published: July 2024

The fierce battle that broke out in history between Russia and Ottoman in 1877–1878 was an attempt to solve the problems faced by the Ottoman administration in the Balkans. This is mainly related to accusations that the Ottoman government cannot protect Christians in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Ironically, Russia's victory did not lead to the resolution of the conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Instead, it negatively impacted Muslims in the Balkans, especially in Bulgaria. This article will analyse the social effects of the war on Bulgaria's Muslim minority. This article uses a qualitative method called content analysis to evaluate British official documents and records collected from the British National Archives and the University of London, specifically from the School of Slavonic and East European Studies. The result shows that the Russo-Ottoman War of 1877 was not intended to give justice to the Christian community under the Ottoman empire; on the contrary, it was a strategy used by Russia and the Bulgarian government to eliminate the Muslim minority in Bulgaria.

This article explores the historical development of observatories for astronomical pursuits within the context of Muslim civilization. It aims to provide an overview of how observatories evolved alongside advancements in astronomy during the Islamic caliphate. The study investigates the parallels between Malaysian astrofiqh observatories and those established during the Islamic civilization era, employing a qualitative approach involving instrument observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the ‘Abbasid caliphate led in establishing observatories for educational and research purposes in astronomy. Key factors contributing to the success of observatory development include the rulers’ support, intellectual dedication, and political stability. Furthermore, the study highlights specific similarities between Malaysian astrofiqh observatories and their historical counterparts, encompassing various aspects such as objectives, physical features, instruments, and nomenclature.

Published: July 2024

Este estudo analisou a presença de indicadores persistentes (IPs) e a atenção online em Repositórios Institucionais (RIs) brasileiros. Verificou-se que apenas 18% dos RIs disponibilizados através do Portal OASISBR possuem Ips Handle, dos quais somente 9% apresentam dados de atenção online. A rede social X (Twitter) se destacou como a principal mídia social para compartilhar produções científicas dos RIs, com 96,5% das menções. Conclui-se que há uma baixa cobertura de IPs e dados de atenção online em RIs brasileiros. Ressalta-se a necessidade de aumentar a adoção de IPs e de utilizar dados altmétricos para avaliar o impacto das pesquisas no contexto da Ciência Aberta.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Research has been carried out with the title "Mapping Fault Distribution Using Lineation and Fault Fracture Density Methods in the Palu Valley and Surrounding Areas" with the aim of determining the direction of fault distribution and analyzing fault density based on lineation data. Methods: This research uses the lineation method with a total of 40 grids. Data processing uses Global Mapper 18, rockwork 17, PCI Geomatica 2014, and Arcgis 10.8 software. Result and Discussion: The results obtained show that the lineation data from the dominant rose diagram has a relatively east-west direction. Areas that have high fault density are in Lindu District, Palolo District, Nokilalaki District, Gumbasa District, Dolo District, Sigi Biromaru District, and Mantikulore District with fault density values of 5,945 - 18,950/km2. Conclusion: The direction of lineation obtained tectonically is influenced by the Palu-Koro fault which tends relatively north-south, the Graben Palolo A and Graben Palolo B faults which trend relatively southeast-northwest, and the Lore Lindu fault zone. Areas with high density are weak zones that are vulnerable to natural disasters and potential ground movements.
