Authors: Qasim Sara Salman
Published: November 2024

The evolution of health care systems from old models to more personalized frameworks facilitates easier diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients, benefiting numerous individuals. Individuals receive remote treatment and care, which is essential for some during the global crisis exemplified by Predictable Virus Detection. This manuscript, A medical platform features an architecture reliant on middleware and database support for individuals with Coronavirus, primarily serving three user categories. The administrator is categorized into two user groups: doctors and patients. The doctor has an app that questions through the patient so he knows the patient that is being visited and extracts the health identity from him, and he questions the patient for sending him an OTP in the event that the patient does not have a mobile screen or an Internet connection. Alternatively, if QR inquires whether his laptop is intelligent and connected to the Internet. The individual will gain access to the system subsequent to the doctor's examination. The patient will conduct a self-examination using his equipment and present the results to his doctor. The physician is able to provide a prescription each time he transmits new readings. If the prescription is accurate, retain it and escalate the dosage; do not incorporate an additional dose.  Physicians will utilize the prescription interface to transmit the prescription for cloud authentication and acquire an encrypted QR code, which will subsequently be provided to the medication receiver. The patient is afforded the opportunity to examine medicine information through the recipient's application. The entitlement to access QR protected cloud data is perpetual. The pharmacy can dispense the medication just as prescribed until the QR code's expiration date. The initiative aims to enhance access to healthcare facilities for patients and physicians, while adhering to GDPR regulations.
La justice climatique restaurative : réparer les inégalités Nord/Sud
Authors: Engone Elloué Nestor
Published: November 2024

La reconnaissance des inégalités climatiques commande de penser une justice climatique Nord/Sud appropriée, et de rechercher une réponse adéquate aux besoins réels du Sud global. Ni la justice climatique distributive et ni la justice climatique corrective ne permettent de répondre convenablement à la nature multidimensionnelle de ces besoins. Face à ces limites la justice climatique restaurative a trois atouts principaux : 1) de mieux intégrer la responsabilité historique du Nord dans le traitement des injustices climatiques. 2) Elle permet de se recentrer sur les besoins de justice des victimes climatiques du Sud : besoins de réparation, besoins de distribution, besoins de reconnaissance, besoins de participation et besoins d’assistance. Et enfin 3), elle permet d’inclure une dimension préventive au processus de justice.

Reflections regarding the study of artistic film as a historical document in western research
Authors: Sclearuc Sorin
Published: November 2024

The film plays a significant role as a reflection of evolving societal trends and cultural mirrors. Our synthesis supports the idea that films, when analyzed within their context using historical research methods, can serve as historical sources. Analyzing films allows for an understanding of the specific context of the period, people’s way of life, and major social processes. Based on the works of Western researchers such as Siegfried Kracauer, Christian Metz, Gilles Deleuze, Laura Mulvey, Carol J. Clover, Marie Michel, David Bordwell and Kristin Tompson, this synthesis highlights various interdisciplinary approaches on how we can use the film as historical sources from different perspectives: film theory, psychoanalysis, semiotics, gender representations etc. Ultimately, we underscore the importance of perceiving films as historical documents and employing interdisciplinary methodologies to decipher their true meanings. Through such nuanced analyses, films not only provide glimpses into the past but also foster a comprehensive understanding of history.
Method of gender mainstreaming in contemporary history research: the case of the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Ursan Oleg
Published: November 2024

The actuality of the introduction of the gender method in the research of contemporary history is argued by the fact that the classical method sometimes doesn’t form a complete image of the studied problem, if it is viewed in isolation from other sciences or interdisciplinary methods. As a result, in the study of modern history, it is indispensable to use the gender method, which allows overcoming existing methodological boundaries between different fields, thus creating an integrated image of the historical problem and, as a result, its complete analysis. Gender research in historical science is becoming more current in Romania, being a priority in the activity plan of the Contemporary History Research Center of the Faculty of History in Bucharest and the Romanian Social History Association. In the Republic of Moldova, research conducted through the lens of the gender method is carried out in many fields, such as: history, pedagogy, sociology, psychology, political science, etc.

In this article, as an introduction to a dissertation thesis on this subject, presents the bibliographical texts and how those conceptualizations can be used in this way. Following this relation between the symbols and the values, the perspectives which we involve implies the epistemological theories which conceptualize the truth as a correspondence, respectively as a coherence, in order to highlight the relation between the values and symbols as a correspondence, respectively between the symbols as a coherence. The purpose is to argue how this pattern, without using in an inappropriate manner the concepts, can highlight the perspective of the science of spirit, as Dilthey conceptualizes it, in order to highlight the resorts of the cultural act.
Renovation of the reverberation room at Ocean University of China based on ODEON simulation
Authors: Shi Liheng , Lin Ju
Published: November 2024

The reverberation room is a crucial laboratory for determining the sound absorption properties of materials. The reverberation room at the Laoshan Campus of Ocean University of China lacks complete acoustic design. Using computer-aided simulations, defects in the sound field can be clearly revealed and the design proposals’ effectiveness can be pre-validated. This study focuses on renovating the reverberation room by conducting acoustic performance tests and constructing a three-dimensional model. Leveraging the advantages of ODEON for simulating sound fields, it analyzes the uniformity of sound field diffusion, considering not only reverberation time distribution but also linear decay curves and deviations in sound pressure level distribution. Subsequently, the room undergoes simulated renovation in accordance with national standards of China and international standards, and diffusion body design schemes, including semi-cylindrical and semi-conical hard wall diffusers and suspended plexiglass diffusers, are compared through simulations to arrive at the final optimized renovation plan. The simulations show that the deviation in sound field uniformity can be reduced to less than 1.5 dB after renovation, and the reverberation time is also significantly extended. These findings can inform the actual renovation of the Laoshan Campus reverberation room and serve as a reference for other reverberation room renovations and indoor acoustic simulations.

Authors: Zhang Jiayi , Tang Xiaoli , Cen Siyu
Published: November 2024

Urban sustainable development faces significant challenges, with low Resident Value Perception (RVP) acting as a major barrier to the rapid growth and sustainability of cities. This study aims to identify the key factors influencing RVP and assess their impacts, focusing on Wuhan as the case study. An RVP indicator system is developed, integrating three dimensions, and the Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation-Attribute Hierarchy Model (FCE-AHM) method is employed to calculate the RVP index. Additionally, a novel GINI-out-of-bag (GINI-OOB) coupling assessment method is introduced to determine the influence of each indicator, using data from Wuhan’s 2022 social satisfaction survey in China. Special emphasis is placed on the relationship between these factors and the acoustic environment. The research findings highlight the following: (1) The proposed methodology effectively identifies the key factors influencing residents’ value perceptions and quantifies their levels of influence; (2) Hospital waiting times, housing price acceptability, and parking management emerge as the top three factors affecting residents’ value perception, with a combined GINI-OOB index score of 0.4914. Notably, parking management has a significant influence, directly exacerbating traffic noise issues. These factors collectively impact the acoustic environment, thereby influencing residents’ quality of life and overall satisfaction. This study introduces an innovative theoretical framework for evaluating urban sustainability, offering valuable insights for enhancing the assessment of residents’ value perceptions and supporting policy recommendations aimed at optimizing urban acoustic environments.

Authors: Ozturk Sinem , Erol Haluk
Published: November 2024

Studies on emission control systems have proliferated because of increasing environmental regulations in recent decades. One of the most important emission control systems in vehicles is the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). DPFs are important for not only the harmful emission of soot particles but also acoustic emissions. In this study, the acoustic behavior of DPFs was investigated. The study presents an acoustic multi-objective optimization of the porous media properties of a DPF. The multi-objective optimization was performed using the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) to obtain an optimum DPF design. In this study, we aimed to maximize the acoustic transmission losses (TL) of the DPF and minimize the pressure drop according to the porous media properties. The DPF wall permeability, channel width, channel wall thickness and channel number were chosen from the porous media properties as design variables for the optimization problem. Test studies have been conducted to validate the mathematical model utilized in optimization. Following these investigations, it has been concluded that the mathematical model, verified through experimental research, is now considered a viable model for resolving the optimization problem. As a result, an optimum DPF design that provides both objective functions was proposed.

Authors: Wan Yuping , Xia Jinfeng , Yang Liang , Yang Yang , Chu Zhigang
Published: November 2024

Noise in car cabin has a close relationship with ride comfort and noise control plays a key role in automobile product design. The prerequisite of noise control is to accurately identify noise sources. Due to the advantages of recording comprehensive sound field information and achieving panoramic source identification, beamforming with spherical microphone array is suitable for interior sound source identification. However, classic spherical harmonics beamforming (SHB) and filter and sum (FAS) suffer from wide mainlobes and serious sidelobe contamination. This paper proposes clear imaging beamforming method, which repeatedly removes the independent contribution of each source from SHB output based on coherence between sidelobe and mainlobe to improve imaging clarity. Simulations and experiments demonstrate that the proposed method has much clearer imaging than SHB and FAS, and could effectively identify the noise sources in car cabin.

Authors: Suhud Usep , Allan Mamoon , Hoo Wong Chee , Jia Ye , Rahmawaty Penny , Hapsoro Bayu Bagas , Prompanyo Manoch
Published: November 2024

The continuing geopolitical dispute between Ukraine and Russia has far-reaching ramifications that impact consumer behaviour on a planetary scale. This study will analyse the determinants that impact Indonesian consumers' intentions to boycott Russian products. An online survey was conducted in April 2022 to collect data, with a sample of 216 respondents selected using convenient sampling procedures. An exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling were employed to analyse the data. The results indicate that consumers' anger significantly impacts boycott attitudes, product judgment, and consumer punishment. However, the attitude of boycotting does not substantially affect the desire to boycott, which goes against what was predictable. In addition, although consumer punishment has a considerable effect on boycott intention, the influence of product judgment is not crucial. These findings contribute to the current body of knowledge in international marketing research, particularly on consumer boycotts.

Published: November 2024

Desa Gunung Silanu merupakan salah satu desa yang terletak di Kecamatan Bangkala, Kabupaten Jeneponto, Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan, dengan luas wilayah mencapai 12,50 km². Desa ini memiliki iklim yang serupa dengan desa-desa lain di Kabupaten Jeneponto, yaitu iklim tropis yang ditandai dengan curah hujan yang sangat rendah. Mayoritas petani di Desa Gunung Silanu lebih memilih untuk membudidayakan tanaman hortikultura dibandingkan dengan tanaman padi, hal ini disebabkan oleh kebutuhan air yang tinggi pada tanaman padi. Sebagian petani menanam berbagai jenis sayuran hortikultura, seperti sawi, bayam, terong, kubis, labu, dan kangkung, yang hanya ditanam pada musim hujan, mengingat tanaman sayuran tersebut memerlukan lebih banyak air dibandingkan dengan tanaman hortikultura lainnya, seperti cabai, tomat, dan bawang. Meskipun demikian, pada musim kemarau, para petani tetap melanjutkan penanaman sayuran hortikultura dengan memanfaatkan air dari Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Puncara, menggunakan pompa air berbahan bakar diesel untuk mendukung kebutuhan irigasi mereka. Melihat kondisi ini, maka kami bermaksud untuk memberikan pelatihan tentang teknologi pompanisasi lahan Perkebunan holtikultura menggunakan pompa yang digerakkan oleh motor listrik dengan sumber daya yang dapat diambil dari tenaga surya. Pelatihan ini telah memberikan wawasan baru kepada para petani terkait teknologi pompanisasi yang ramah lingkungan dan menggunakan energi baru terbarukan berdasarkan respon yang diberikan oleh petani.

Authors: Wang Qinan , Li Changhan , Zhu Lu
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the factors influencing the attitudes, behaviors and intentions toward the adoption of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) technology, among art and design students at Chinese universities. The conceptual framework is grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), and economic consumption theory. Data were collected from 434 art and design students with AIGC experience at a university in Henan, China. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized for analysis. The findings show that Perceived Benefit, Perceived Usefulness, and Social Influence, are necessary conditions, positively affecting students’ attitudes towards AIGC. Perceived Benefit, Attitude, Social Influence, Hedonic Motivation, and Facilitating Conditions, were found to be necessary conditions for behavioral intentions, positively influencing students’ behavioral intentions to adopt AIGC. Social Influence showed significance, but the necessity was not strong. Perceived Risk held neither significance nor necessity. Therefore, promoting AIGC adoption in Chinese art and design programs should focus on resource allocation and perception creation.

Authors: Osama Abel Azim Elgamal Mai Ibrahim , Ragab Mostafa Hassan , Makled Ahmed Khairy
Published: November 2024

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, was declared a global pandemic in March 2020. Pregnant women might be especially vulnerable to COVID-19 because the physiological changes in their cardiorespiratory and immune systems during pregnancy could alter their response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Objective: to determine the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and fetal outcomes, including SGA, FGR, preterm birth, and stillbirth.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted at the Ultrasound and Fetal Medicine Unit of Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital, a tertiary care center, from October 2021 to January 2023. The study included 45 pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19 during the first or second trimester of their current pregnancy. Additionally, a control group of 45 pregnant women who were not infected with COVID-19 was included. Both groups were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding demographic characteristics, including age, body mass index, and parity. The timing of COVID-19 infection was nearly evenly distributed between the first and second trimesters. All cases in the infected group were non-hospitalized. No statistically significant differences were found between the groups regarding the need for induction or mode of delivery. Additionally, there were no significant differences in gestational age, estimated fetal weight, birth weight, or NICU admission rates. Stillbirth, prematurity, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), macrosomia, and neonatal mortality did not occur in either group.
Conclusion: As evident from the current study, there were no differences between first and second-trimester COVID-19-infected and non-infected pregnant women according to maternal and neonatal outcomes regarding fetal growth complications, APGAR score, preterm Labour, NICU admission, Placental abnormalities, and Liquor abnormalities. Consequently, clinical characteristics of first and second-trimester COVID-19 in pregnant patients and neonates seem to be similar to those in non-pregnant infected adults.

Published: November 2024

The two-spotted cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) and short-tail cricket (Brachytrupes portentosus) are economically significant edible insects in Thailand, boasting up to 60% protein content. This study investigates the effects of different types of proteases on the production of protein hydrolysates and biological activities from two cricket species, divided into 4 groups based on extraction and digestion methods as proteins extracted by heat at 100°C, proteins digested with the protease SD-AY 10, pepsin, and a combination of protease SD-AY 10 and pepsin. None of the 4 protein groups inhibited pathogenic E. coli, Salmonella enteritidis, and Salmonella typhimurium. The total antioxidant capacity (TAC) assessment showed that proteins from G. bimaculatus digested with SD-AY 10 had a significantly higher antioxidant level (5.5 nmol/µl), while proteins from B. portentosus digested with pepsin had a similarly high antioxidant level (5.59 nmol/µl), both significantly higher than other groups (p<0.05). Proteins from both crickets digested by enzymes were safe for RAW 246.7 macrophage cells at concentrations from 1.56 to 25% (v/v) and effectively inhibited nitric oxide production. Protein hydrolysates from G. bimaculatus and B. portentosus inhibited nitric oxide production at a concentration of 25% (v/v) equivalent to ß-glucan. Phagocytic activity was also observed in protein hydrolysates from both cricket species, stimulating RAW 246.7 cells at concentrations of 1.56-25% (v/v). However, protein hydrolysate from B. portentosus, digested with pepsin at a concentration of 1.56-12.5% (v/v) showed higher phagocytic activity values (152.52-163.86%) compared to ß-glucan (149.18%). The results showed that protein hydrolysates from two cricket species, digested by enzymes, exhibited antioxidant activity, inhibited nitric oxide production, are safe for cells, and hold potential as future supplements for human food and animal feed additives.

Blockchain introduced innovation in the e-government system by emphasizing the transparency of transactions, immutability, and identity management. This study uses a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis to address the benefits and challenges of adopting blockchain in e-government systems. The results encourage government officials and citizens to adopt blockchain to accomplish government activities. A total of 249 papers from the primary databases, i.e., IEEE Xplore, Scopus, and ACM, were scrutinized to be selected into 21 appropriate publications for full-text reporting using the PRISMA flowchart. Bibliographic data were accumulated and investigated consequently to develop network visualization using VOSviewer 1.6.19. Blockchain provides two-fold benefits to the e-government system, i.e., benefits to citizens and benefits to government bodies. Blockchain engages citizens in the service delivery process, ensures trust, enables access to government facilities easily, and maintains self-sovereign identity and secure data. Blockchain provides transparency and accountability among the agencies and ministries of government and facilitates cross-border activities. Having enormous benefits, governments face various challenges in using blockchain in the public sector. Based on the full-text analysis, blockchain implementation challenges are classified as technological, organizational, and environmental challenges. Government bodies should adopt blockchain to reap the benefits and address the challenges of implementing blockchain.

Sözlü gelenekler ve temsiller, mekân ve kişi mefhumuna bağlı olarak ortak bir emeğin sonucunda ortaya çıkan bilgi belleğidir. Türk sözlü kültürünün tarihsel derinliğini aktaran sözlü unsurların genelinde müzik özelinde ise sanat ve icra bağlamıyla kültürel devamlılığın sağlandığı âşıklık geleneği gelmektedir. Kırşehir ili âşıklık/ozanlık geleneği açısından önemli bir konuma sahiptir. Kırşehir, 2019 yılı Ekim ayında UNESCO tarafından Yaratıcı Şehirler Ağına dâhil olarak müzik şehri olarak ilân edilmiştir. Yöre bünyesinde nesilden nesile aktarım ile günümüze kadar devam eden kültürel aktarım, zaman içinde şehrin müzik dinamikleri üzerinde çeşitli dönüşümlere uğramıştır. Sözlü kültür ortamında var olan dönüşüm ve değişimin çok yönlü araştırılması, geleneksel bilginin aktarımı açısından önem arz etmektedir.
Geleneğin yaşandığı ve aktarıldığı her dönem içerisinde sürdürülebilirliği sağlayan temsilcileri, varlıklarını her daim korumuştur. Sözlü aktarım sürecinde geleneğin imkânlarından istifade ederek var olan belleği sonraki nesle taşımak gelenek aktarıcıları vasıtasıyla mümkündür. Ozan ya da Âşık olarak adlandırılan müzikal belleği aktaran sözlü kültür taşıyıcıları ait oldukları kültürün temel dinamiklerine vakıf bellek üreticileridir. Günümüzde bellek üreticileri arasında var olmaya çalışan kadın ozanların gelenek içindeki yerlerini belirlemek, âşıklık geleneğinin alt yapısını ve toplumsal sürecini analiz etmek açısından oldukça önemlidir. Çalışmanın örneklem alanını oluşturan Ayşe Tekin, Kültür Bakanlığı tarafından Kırşehir ilinde ilk kadın halk ozanı olarak seçilmiştir. Kırşehir ilinde ilk kadın halk ozanı unvanı alan Ayşe Tekin’in eserlerinde toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini tespit etmeye yönelik bu çalışma, metin merkezli bir bağlam denemesidir. Ayşe Tekin’in eserlerini oluşturduğu ortamı aktarmak, eserlerinde yer alan toplumsal cinsiyet unsurlarının feminist kuram üzerinden eleştirel analizini de geçerli kılacaktır.

Off the coast of Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes, France), Lerins islands are considered as treasuresby the locals. Sainte-Marguerite Island (closer and bigger one) is intimately linked to thehistory of Cannes since Antiquity. Reserve today, the inhabitants have a deeply relationshipwith this land. For many of them, it is an “haven of peace”, a place to recharge their selves. Itis an ideal place for fishing, especially at a time when the coasts of Cannes were not easilyaccessible by boat. Lands were lent to fishermen to build temporary dwellings to facilitatetheir work: the fishermen's sheds, the only authorized way to stay long on this island today.The practices have evolved and have opened up new issues. In order to avoid jealousy and tobe fair, the Concelors is reviewing the terms of allocation of these plots, thus modifying theways of dwelling on Sainte-Marguerite island.

Au large de Cannes (dans les Alpes-Maritimes), les îles de Lérins sont considérées comme destrésors par les locaux. La plus grande et la plus proche, l’île Sainte-Marguerite est intimementliée à l’histoire cannoise depuis l’antiquité. Les habitants entretiennent un rapport étroit avecce morceau de terre, classé réserve écologique. Pour beaucoup, l’île est décrite comme « unhavre de paix, un espace pour se ressourcer ». Certaines de ses caractéristiques en ont fait unlieu idéal de pêche. Au début du XXesiècle, des terrains ont été proposés aux pêcheurs poury construire des habitations temporaires et faciliter leur travail : les cabanons de pêcheurs,seules habitations autorisées encore aujourd’hui sur l’île. Transmises au fil du temps, lespratiques ont évolué autours de ces cabanons qui ouvrent de nouveaux enjeux pour ceux quiles possèdent. La Municipalité revoit les modalités d’attribution des parcelles modifiant ainsiles séjours insulaires de Sainte-Marguerite.

L’étude du fronton du Plan de Grasse, équipement municipal, permet de nombreuses autres lectures que sa destination sportive première. Ce mur, et l’espace qu’il surplombe, accueille différentes manifestations qui rythment les temps forts du village. Il est aussi un lieu d’échange et de sociabilité. Cet élément, à la manière d’une place de village, rassemble les habitants. Ces derniers le reconnaissent comme un géosymbole, comme une particularité locale qui révèle leur identité à l’extérieur du territoire.

A study of the Plan de Grasse fronton, a municipal facility, opens up many other possibilities than its primary sporting purpose. This wall, and the space it overlooks, hosts various events that punctuate the village's high points. It is also a place of exchange and sociability. Like a village square, it brings residents together. They recognize it as a geosymbol, a local feature that reveals their identity to the outside world.

Le mur en pierre sèche

The dry-stone wall organizes deliberatively the land, while at the same time blending in it insensitively: conspicuous and discreet in alternation. The creative act of man adds to the stereotomy of the structure and the lithology of the terrain to structure the space and modify the relief. A closer look at the semantics of these structures shows that dry stone is the same everywhere, and that each concept needs to be contextualized. Structures and landscapes are in perpetual transformation, but so are the uses and legal, social and societal aspects of dry-stone structures that delimit and open up passages.

Le mur en pierre sèche organise volontairement le territoire en même temps qu’il s’y intègre insensiblement : ostensible et discret à la fois. L’acte créatif de l’homme s’ajoute à la stéréotomie de l’ouvrage, à la lithologie du terrain pour structurer l’espace et modifier les reliefs. L’abord de la sémantique des ouvrages permet de comprendre que la pierre sèche est partout identique et chaque fois une notion à contextualiser. Structures et paysages sont en perpétuelle transformation mais il en va aussi des usages, des aspects juridiques, sociaux et sociétaux des ouvrages bâtis à sec qui délimitent et qui ouvrent des passages.
