Authors: Ariya Pakinee , Intawong Kannikar , Worragin Perasuk , Thongthip Phimphakan , Puritat Kitti
Published: October 2024

The study focuses on the development and evaluation of a location-based game called CMU Journey, which is aimed at helping first-year students become acquainted with their new university setting during the phase of transition. The study’s three primary goals are to: (1) create a location-based game to improve knowledge acquisition related to university transition for freshmen; (2) evaluate the performance of the developed location-based game in supporting knowledge acquisition relevant to university transition; and (3) explore students’ experiences and perspectives with the location-based game designed for university transition. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study collects quantitative data through pre-post measures as well as qualitative data synthesis using an online open-ended questionnaire. Participants in the study are from Chiang Mai University’s Humanities and Social Sciences (N = 434), Technology and Science (N = 341), and Medical and Health (N = 256) programs. The findings show that students who finished the program learned considerable information about starting university, had a favorable attitude regarding studying due to the location-based game, and experienced motivation. An examination of both quantitative data from surveys and qualitative feedback from utilized data found a mix of both positive and negative comments from users. The results presented indicate the potential of location-based games as a beneficial tool for assisting with university transition, along with opportunities for future game design and implementation improvements.
De l’eau pour qui et pour quoi ? Rôle de l’irrigation dans l’évolution de l’agriculture et les systèmes de production actuels dans différents territoires du bassin Adour-Garonne
Authors: Devienne Sophie , Degroote Ariane , Michel Frank
Published: October 2024

Le diagnostic agraire de quatre petites régions agricoles du bassin Adour-Garonne aux ressources en eau contrastées montre que l’irrigation a joué un rôle important dans le développement agricole en contribuant au maintien de l’emploi et de certaines filières, voire au développement de certaines d’entre elles. Ce rôle positif est particulièrement sensible dans les régions où l’accès à l’eau est sécurisé et où des cultures contractuelles à forte valeur ajoutée ont pu être mises en place. Là où les ressources sont limitées, l’accès à l’eau est inégal et les possibilités de valoriser l’eau plus restreintes. L’irrigation du maïs tend à céder la place dans ces régions à de nouvelles utilisations de l’eau qui ouvrent la voie à la réflexion sur l’adaptation des systèmes irrigués au changement climatique.
Une frontière pour le massif forestier d’Iraty : droits d’usage vs frontière naturelle (Pyrénées atlantiques, xviie-xixe siècle)
Authors: Puyo Jean-Yves
Published: October 2024

À travers le cas de la frontière pyrénéenne, nous nous proposons d’analyser l’évolution des pratiques européennes quant à la démarche conduisant à la fixation d’une délimitation étatique reconnue par les parties en présence. Fixée très récemment (traité des limites, 1856-1862), la délimitation frontalière entre la France et l’Espagne conduisit à séparer des communautés locales réunies pendant des siècles au sein de royaumes situés de part et d’autre de la chaîne montagnarde (le royaume d’Aragon pour les Pyrénées orientales ; le royaume de Navarre pour les Pyrénées occidentales). Les discussions entre les deux États centraux, qui coururent par épisodes sur près de trois siècles, aboutirent à l’abandon de la reconnaissance de droits d’usages des communautés locales au profit de la recherche d’une limite frontalière dite naturelle, notion apparue à l’occasion des discussions portant sur l’application du traité des Pyrénées de 1659.
Comparative Analysis of Several Different Multimodal Methods for the Development of Generative Artificial Intelligence
Authors: M. Saranya , B. Amutha
Published: October 2024

Generative AI models may generate massive amounts of fresh material from their training data. Besides text, they may create graphics, music, video, and more. One explanation for their unexpected popularity is its widespread effect on numerous sectors. Text, picture, and music creation are among their numerous uses. Further uses include healthcare, education, and met aversion. However, these models' design and execution remain difficult. Problems include dependability, biased material, overfitting, and restrictions. This study seeks to examine multimodal generative AI systems' similarities and differences. These criteria involve input, output, development authority, frameworks, and tools. These examples show how multimodal generative AI models are used in many industries.

Comparative Study on the Kernel Performance of Gaussian Processes for Mechanical Property Predictions of Woven Carbon Fibre Composites
Authors: Ariyasinghe N. , Yasantha J. , Herath S.
Published: October 2024

Carbon fibre woven composites owe their exceptional mechanical properties to the characteristics of their constituent materials: fibres and resin. However, uncertainties in these constituent properties introduce variations in the macroscale mechanical performance of composites. Especially with multiple plies, and the orthotropic nature of the material, prediction and quantification of the uncertain mechanical properties at the macroscale pose a challenge and remain computationally expensive during analysis. In this study, Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) is used to predict and quantify uncertainties propagated to the macroscale mechanical properties expressed in terms of the ABD stiffness matrix due to the uncertainties in the constituent material properties at the microscale. The GPR model incorporates 16 input uncertainties for each tow in a twoply composite and outputs the relevant ABD stiffness matrix. We investigate the applicability of different kernels in captur-ing the underlying relationship between microscale material properties and macroscale stiffnesses, which is crucial as the kernel choice governs the ability of the model to capture these underlying relationships. Our findings show that the predictions for Direct axial stiffness (A11 and A22) showed excellent agreement for all kernels with NRMSE values below 8 × 10−4 and nearunity R2 scores in interpolation and good agreement in extrapolation. The deviation of NRMSE values of the ESS kernel for D11 (direct bending stiffness) and D12 (bending coupling) is comparatively high. D22 (direct bending stiffness) represents a good agreement for all kernels with nearunity R2 scores. The GPR model’s ability to provide outputs over a distribution of functions allowed for 95% confidence intervals for each prediction, with most stiffness predictions exhibiting variations as low as ±0.2%. Despite a 5% microscale uncertainty, the actual macroscale uncertainty was lower, with minimal variations in A12, A66, D12, and D66 even for 20% material uncertainty. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of Gaussian process regression in predicting and quantifying uncertainties in the mechanical properties of carbon fibre composites.

Authors: Napolitano Giuseppe , Gravante Francesco , Gravante Agostino , De Rosa Filomena , Coletta Francesco , Tomasello Antonio , Esposito Simone , Pota Vincenzo , Villani Romolo , Cecere Luciano
Published: October 2024

Introduzione: l’insufficienza respiratoria acuta viene generalmente definita come la nuova insorgenza di un disturbo clinicamente importante. Può essere ipossica, ipercapnica oppure mista. Tra le metodiche di trattamento dell’insufficienza respiratoria acuta di tipo ipossiemica, rientra l’utilizzo dell’ossigenoterapia convenzionale, che permette di aumentare la frazione di ossigeno inspirato (FiO2) utilizzando semplici interfacce. Una valida alternativa, è rappresentata dall’utilizzo delle cannule nasali ad alto flusso (HFNC), in quanto offre la possibilità di avere flussi di gas sempre più elevati, umidificati e riscaldati.
Materiali e Metodi: verrà condotta una ricerca preliminare per verificare la presenza di precedenti revisioni sull’argomento e successivamente, una revisione della letteratura sulla comparazione delle cannule nasali ad alto flusso rispetto alla ventilazione non invasiva a pressione positiva nei pazienti critici gravemente ustionati e con insufficienza respiratoria acuta.
Risultati: i risultati che emergeranno, potrebbero potenzialmente contribuire a perfezionare le attuali teorie sulle indicazioni all’utilizzo delle HFNC nel paziente ustionato.
Discussione: le implicazioni future per la ricerca e per la pratica clinica, dovranno avere un approccio sempre più orientato e mirato nell’utilizzo di interfacce efficaci nel migliorare la compliance del paziente in termini di miglioramento degli scambi gassosi, confortevoli in termini di riduzione delle lesioni da pressione causate dall’utilizzo prolungato.
The knowledge-power nexus in EU marine governance: from orthodoxy to pluralism by way of the human right to science
Authors: Ntona Mara
Published: October 2024

This article takes as its point of departure a view of Europe’s marine environment as a complex of ‘Anthropocene seas’ situated within an ‘Anthropocene ocean’. This framing suggests an epistemologically pluralistic approach to marine governance. For its part, environmental law can both facilitate and undermine efforts to bring such an approach to life. The article explores this duality in two steps. First, it interrogates the role of European Union (EU) marine environmental law in shaping processes of marine knowledge production and use. It finds that the instruments in question promote an epistemologically singular – and, arguably, an epistemically unjust – approach to marine governance. The instruments do, however, contain provisions enshrining the right to access environmental information and the right to participate in environmental decision-making. The article argues that, although these provisions were not designed in order to promote epistemological pluralism per se, it is well within their capacity to do so. In taking this idea forward, the article reads EU marine environmental law in the light of recent developments relating to the right to science and procedural environmental rights. It concludes by identifying citizen science as a promising point of connection between different sub-fields of human rights law and between environmental and human rights law.
Reimagining fishing in the Anthropocene through a rights of nature lens
Authors: Bender Michelle , Bustamante Rachel
Published: October 2024

How human society relates to and values the Ocean, generally, has direct implications for conservation. Overarching norms such as ‘Mare Liberum’ (Freedom of the Seas) and prevalent policy tools such as Maximum Sustainable Yield, have largely imagined ‘fisheries’ and/or nonhuman populations to be resources and property for human benefit and utility, an imperative limiting the potential of management to maintain healthy and thriving populations and prevent overfishing. Rights of Nature is emerging as an approach to reorient law around an ecocentric ethic where humankind is an element of Nature, and where Nature has inherent rights and intrinsic value. We explore how Rights of Nature might progressively shift traditional norms and values and provide a rethink of how law constructs and regulates human activity in the Ocean in the context of fishing. Our analysis suggests that Rights of Nature, or Ocean Rights, ensures the individuality, representation, and intrinsic value of marine wildlife and therefore provides an obligation to take effective measures to address unsustainable practices and to restore degraded ecosystems.
The seabed and the South: from stock stories to new histories of international lawmaking
Authors: Ranganathan Surabhi
Published: October 2024

Centring the career of Cameroonian diplomat Paul Bamela Engo during the negotiation of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, this article makes a methodological intervention in the historiography of multilateral treaty-making. It reads through and against the grain of dominant narratives of oceanic constitution-making, and offers counter-narratives that serve as conceptual and mobilizational resources in contemporary struggles. It examines how the ‘stock story’ of the emergence of the resource regime for seabed minerals as the common heritage of mankind erases the radical alternatives that were proposed by Third World actors and their efforts to write them into law, and sorts these actors into trope-laden categories of ‘extremist’ and ‘moderate’. Against this, and building on critical race theorist Richard Delgado’s exploration of counterstorytelling, this article traces histories that position Third World diplomats and lawyers as intellectual innovators and rival worldmakers. Extending the field of international intellectual history, and examining international lawmaking conferences as a political form, these histories link UNCLOS to wider anticolonial and worldmaking projects. Connecting analyses at multiple spatial and temporal scales, such histories also offer an empirically-grounded approach to the agency and structural constraints of Third World actors negotiating international legal orders, and illuminate international lawmaking as a promising site for global history.
Crustal Structure of Southern California from Velocity and Attenuation Tomography
Authors: Jordan Thomas H.
Published: October 2024

Recent studies of Southern California have employed velocity and attenuation tomography to elucidate two aspects of crustal structure. Low-frequency velocity tomography reveals large-scale heterogeneity that can be approximated by a discrete set (𝐾 ≤ 10) of tectonic regions, each characterized by an isostatically balanced lithospheric column reflecting the composition and tectonic history of the region. The boundaries between tectonic regions are typically localized structures expressed at the surface by major faults, topographic fronts, and geochemical transitions. The efficacy with which tomographic regionalization (TR) represents the subsurface geography of major tectonic units in Southern California indicates that the TR idealization works surprisingly well in this part of the Pacific‐North America plate boundary. High‐frequency attenuation tomography in Southern California supports the hypothesis that the decay of P and S waves propagating through the upper and middle crust is dominated by elastic scattering from small-scale heterogeneities of high fractal dimension, rather than by anelastic dissipation. The amplitude of the scattering varies systematically among the tectonic regions and correlates with the degree of recent faulting and deformation within a region. These results motivate speculation that small-scale crustal heterogeneities responsible for high-frequency attenuation are generated within the seismogenic zone through a dynamic interplay between distributed deformation and localized fracturing.

Authors: Santos Záira Bonfante dos , Paiva Francis Arthuso , Mendes Mauricio Teixeira
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo traz uma discussão em torno de perspectivas de letramentos e os desafios em tempos de Inteligência Artificial (IA). Para tanto, o texto situa a IA no rol das tecnologias da linguagem recorrendo às contribuições do pensamento decolonial pelo olhar de Veraszto (2004), Quijano (2005), Hernández-Zamora (2019) e demarca as relações de poder exercidas pela tecnologia da escrita além de trazer questionamentos acerca das possibilidades para o agenciamento transformador no ensino e aprendizagem. Trazidas essas reflexões, o texto enfatiza a contribuição da abordagem multimodal e as transposições possíveis a partir do uso da IA pelo olhar de Kalantzis e Cope (2024), indicando a necessidade do conhecimento de uma gramática que acolhe o trabalho semiótico e agência com todas as formas de modos de produzir padrões de significados. Todas as discussões empreendidas no trabalho direcionam para a necessidade de que os letramentos propiciados pela IA precisam ser desenvolvidos/pensados criticamente para possibilidades de transformação e mudança social. Logo, é necessário letramentos críticos nessa relação entre sujeito e máquina, de reflexão/análise de signos produzidos.

Published: October 2024

Na era da Inteligência Artificial (IA), as múltiplas ecologias de aprendizagem nas quais nos inserimos influenciam a criação de novos territórios educacionais, impactando experiências individuais e coletivas de ensino-aprendizagem em todos os níveis do sistema educacional. A partir de alguns dos desafios colocados por este contexto, neste ensaio teórico-reflexivo, buscamos tecer algumas considerações sobre  as complexas relações entre multimodalidade, multiletramentos, tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação (TDIC) e implicações éticas do uso da IA na contemporaneidade. Para isso, contamos com suporte teórico sobre ecologias de aprendizagem (Barron, 2006; Jackson, 2013), multimodalidade e tecnologia (Canale, 2019; van Leeuwen, 2021), multiletramentos (Grupo Nova Londres, 2021; Kalantzis; Cope, 2023), contextos digitais (Jenks, 2010), territorialização (Kambeba, 2021; Leander; Vasudevan, 2011), modos de subjetivação (Foucault, 1997), cibercultura (Lévy, 2010a, 2010b), IA (Kafai; Burke, 2020; Suleyman; Bhaskar, 2023), implicações éticas (Benjamin, 1987; Diniz, 2021; Freire, 1992; Linares; Fuentes; Galdames, 2023; Peters, 2018; Santaella, 2023; Segato, 2021) e sociais associadas com seu uso (Akotirene, 2019; Almeida, 2019; Hooks, 2017; Ngomane, 2022). Como reflexões preliminares, destacamos a importância da reterritorialização e de se atentar para os diferentes modos de subjetivação no contexto educacional digital, considerando aspectos éticos e sociais relevantes para a articulação de processos dinâmicos e crítico-reflexivos sobre a utilização desses avanços tecnológicos nos mais diversos setores da vida em sociedade.
IA e novas mediações

Published: October 2024

A proposta deste artigo é refletir sobre a formação universitária contemporânea de jornalistas, a partir da produção multimodal de textos informativos em um cenário permeado pela presença de modelos e ferramentas de inteligência artificial (IA). Trabalhamos com o conceito de multimodalidade de Kress (2003) e somamos as reflexões de Ribeiro (2016) sobre produções multimodais, que já são muito presentes – com tendência de aumento no número desses produtos – no cotidiano dos conteúdos jornalísticos produzidos e consumidos. Para alcançar esse objetivo, analisamos os Planos Pedagógicos (PPCs) – documentos norteadores para o curso superior, elaborados a partir das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN) do Ministério da Educação – de cursos de jornalismo de duas universidades de Minas Gerais, sendo uma privada e uma pública. A partir desses documentos, ambos de 2023, são feitos apontamentos de desafios e  oportunidades da inserção de temas relacionados à IA, de forma a oferecer uma formação técnica e ética que possibilite uma atuação dos egressos no mercado profissional que se (re)configura.

The aim of this work was to investigate the phytomonitoring potentials of Hedera helix L. from the Bor`s municipality concerning (atmospheric) Pyrene as a well-known hazardous substance. The results of gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of the unwashed stems and leaves showed that Pyrene concentrations obviously varied at all selected rural and urban/industrial zones (RZ and UIZ). These first signs of various sources of Pyrene in the investigated area were later supported by the results of the performed Pearson’s correlation analysis, which showed that the detected Pyrene concentrations came not only from the vicinal heating and smelting plants, as the main sources of pollution in the whole region but also from the domestic heating in RZ, or forest fires, or controlled fires in the cultivated fields, and finally from the traffic in all zones. The correlation analysis also signalized that at some locations, the detected concentrations (especially in stems) came not only from the atmosphere but also from the soil. The calculated factor R confirmed the sites with the greatest atmospheric impact. Very high R values were calculated for 3 sites (two in UIZ and one in RZ) with the highest value of 1.61. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that the investigated stems and leaves, with the applied chemical and statistical analyses, and the calculation of R factor, can serve as a useful tool in the atmospheric Pyrene phytomonitoring.
Effect of sulfate-reducing bacteria on stainless steel: a review

Corrosion-resistant alloys such as stainless steel provide an ideal substrate for microbial colonization due to the absence of corrosion products, similar to inert non-metallic surfaces. Stainless steels are sensitive to pitting and other types of localized corrosion in chloride-containing media such as seawater. Sulfate-reducing bacteria play an essential role in the corrosion of stainless steel in marine and soil environments. Sulfate is utilized by microbes as a terminal electron acceptor as their respiration drives sulfate reduction leading to the formation of H2S, which can lead to a significant increase in anodic and cathodic processes and corrosion of materials. In reviewing the literature, it was found that most studies on microbially induced corrosion in stainless steels indicate that it is caused by the influence of chlorides and sulfides in the soil resulting from the secretion of sulfate-reducing bacteria. The influence of sulfate-reducing bacteria on stainless steel is described in detail in this review, which can be seen from the following points: general properties of sulfate-reducing bacteria, morphology and chemical composition of biofilm and corrosion products, mechanisms of microbiological corrosion by sulfate-reducing bacteria and electrochemical studies of corrosion rates of stainless steel by sulfate-reducing bacteria under different experimental conditions.
Unveiling the Dynamics of “Vranac” Wine Anthocyanins Oxidation: Insights from Accelerated Chemical Testing
Authors:   University of Nis, Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, Serbia, Mitić Milan , Mitić Jelena ,   University of Nis, Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, Serbia
Published: October 2024

To gain insights into the oxidative behavior of red wines, a comprehensive study was conducted. The rates of anthocyanins decrease were measured for “Vranac” red wine subjected to two different accelerated aging tests: chemical (with hydrogen peroxide) and thermal. The kinetics of malvidin-3-O-glucoside (M3G) and malvidin-3-O-acetylglucoside (M3AG) degradation in this red wine by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution at various temperatures were investigated. The trace amount of Cu(II) ions was used to catalyze the reaction, and it was monitored using an HPLC-DAD method through the application of the initial-rate method. The HPLC-DAD method was validated for determining M3G and its derivatives in red wines. The kinetic parameters of the reactions are reported, and rate equations are suggested. The activation energy values for the degradation of M3G and M3AG were calculated to be 57.70 and 57.74 kJ/mol, respectively. The thermodynamic functions of activation (G *, H*, and S*) have also been calculated.

This study aims to examine the impact of higher education financial support from basic local governments on the economic development of university locations. A balanced panel dataset was constructed using information from University Information Disclosure, University Finance Disclosure, KOSIS, and Urban Statistics for the years 2016-2020. The study employed Generalized Least Squares (GLS) to analyze the effect of higher education financial support from basic local governments on economic development, while controlling for regional characteristics, university characteristics, higher education financial support from central and provincial governments, and financial support from other basic local governments.
The results showed that the total amount of higher education financial support from basic local governments had a positive effect on increasing GRDP per capita, raising employment rates, and reducing unemployment rates. Higher education financial support from basic local governments where universities are located also contributed to increasing employment rates and decreasing unemployment rates. However, contrasting results were observed in the impact on unemployment rates between four-year universities and colleges.
Based on these findings, the following policy implications were derived. First, Legal and institutional improvements are required to enable basic local governments to actively provide financial support to universities. Second, It is necessary to establish a sustainable financial support system that can respond to the needs of local communities. Lastly, Efforts are needed to strengthen the link between higher education and employment.

Background: Immediate postoperative complications following general anesthesia are critical considerations in surgical care, impacting patient recovery and healthcare resource utilization. This retrospective observational study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of immediate complications among patients in the postoperative ward at Sir Salimullah Medical College Hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methods: Data from 384 adult patients undergoing surgical procedures under general anesthesia at Sir Salimullah Medical College Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic variables, surgical details, anesthetic management, and immediate postoperative complications were assessed. Results: Pain at the surgical site (45.0%), nausea (35.0%), and shivering (30.0%) were the most prevalent immediate complications observed. Complication rates varied significantly across demographic categories, with younger age groups experiencing higher rates of nausea and vomiting, while older age groups had increased incidence of hypertension and respiratory issues. Females exhibited a higher prevalence of nausea, vomiting, and shivering compared to males. Healthcare professionals and office workers showed a greater prevalence of postoperative complications compared to manual laborers and retirees. Conclusion: This study highlights the diverse nature of immediate postoperative complications and their differential distribution among patient demographics and occupational groups. The findings underscore the importance of personalized perioperative care and targeted interventions to mitigate complications and optimize patient outcomes. Enhanced perioperative monitoring, tailored anesthesia management, and multidisciplinary collaboration are essential for minimizing complications and improving surgical care quality. Future research focusing on risk stratification and preventive strategies is warranted to further enhance perioperative safety and patient satisfaction.

Background: Coronary pseudoaneurysms (CPAs) are rare but significant complications of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), trauma, or infections. They pose a considerable risk due to potential rupture and thromboembolism. While surgical repair has been the traditional approach, percutaneous methods have emerged as viable alternatives. Objective: This review aims to provide a detailed analysis of the current techniques, outcomes, and future perspectives of percutaneous treatment of CPAs. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, focusing on studies and case reports that describe the percutaneous management of CPAs. Techniques such as coil embolization, covered stent placement, and thrombin injection were evaluated. Results: The success rates, complication rates, and long-term outcomes of various percutaneous techniques were analyzed. Additionally, patient selection criteria and procedural considerations were discussed. Conclusion: Percutaneous treatment of CPAs is a promising alternative to surgical intervention, offering lower morbidity and shorter recovery times. However, careful patient selection and a thorough understanding of the available techniques are crucial for optimal outcomes.
