Catches, age and growth of the roach Rutilus rutilus (Cyprinidae) in the Middle Ob river basin (within the Tomsk region)
Authors: Interesova Elena Aleksandrovna , Rostovtsev Alexander Alekseevich
Published: July 2021

The data on the catch, age composition and growth of the roach Rutilus rutilus L. in commercial herd in the Middle Ob basin (in the Tomsk region) are presented. It is shown that the catches of the roach in the middle of the 20th century were 2098 tons per year. In the second half of the 1960s, they fell sharply by more than two times. It was caused by a decrease in the areas of effective spawning due to the reduction of runoff in the Ob during spring floods as a result of the regulation of the level regime by the dam of the Novosibirsk hydroelectric power station. After that, the catch of roach remained at about 1013 tons per year until the beginning of economic reforms in the country, when the catch of this species became unprofitable, as a result of which catches decreased to an average of 436 tons per year. Currently, the basis of commercial catches is made up of roach with a commercial length of 140 to 210 mm and a weight of 50 to 150 g at the age of 2+...5+. It is noted, compared with the 1970–1980s, there is a shift in the age series towards an increase in the value of older age groups, which may indicate underutilization of the stock of the roach. The statistically significant positive relationship between catches of roach and the average duration of flooding of the floodplain in the years of the occurrence of generations that form the basis of catches was revealed. Prolonged floods also provide better conditions for fish feeding (a statistically significant positive relationship between the mass of fish of the same age and the duration of flooding of the floodplain is shown). Thus, the hydrological regime in the spring has a decisive influence on the state of the stocks of roach in the Middle Ob.
Late Recurrence in a Rectal Cancer Patient Who Underwent Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Local Excision: A Case Report
Authors: Han Jin Soo , Lim Seok-Byung , Park Jin-hong , Hong Yong Sang
Published: July 2021

Some patients who have undergone preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) following surgery have been diagnosed with late recurrence more than 5 years after treatment, raising questions about the possible benefit extending surveillance beyond the recommended 5 years. In 2011, a 71-year-old male patient was diagnosed with T3N+ low-lying rectal cancer located 3 cm from the anal verge before undergoing long-course preoperative CRT. After CRT, the patient was reexamined and diagnosed with ycT1–2N0 lesion, so local excision (LE) was performed. The patient underwent intensive surveillance for up to 5 years, and no evidence of recurrence was found. At 74 months after surgery, the patient was hospitalized for a hematochezia, and local recurrence at the excision site and peritoneal seeding nodules were identified. Considering the late recurrence in this patient, it might be necessary to long-term follow-up beyond 5 years in patients with preoperative CRT followed by LE.

Authors: Choi Young Sun , Lee Kil-young , Park Youn Young , Kim Hyung Jin , Lee Jaeim
Published: July 2021

Metachronous carcinoma at the colostomy site is very rare after abdominoperineal resection. A 53-year-old male patient underwent an abdominoperineal resection 6 years earlier for rectal cancer developed metachronous carcinoma at the site of stoma. A portion of the colon, including the stoma and the surrounding skin, was resected and a new stoma was created in the transverse colon. Although the occurrence of carcinoma at the stoma site is a rare condition, careful observation for the stoma and colonoscopy for surveillance are necessary.

Published: July 2021

Purpose: Standard therapy for grade III hemorrhoids is rubber band ligation (RBL) and hemorrhoidectomy. The long-term clinical and patient-reported outcomes of these treatments in a tertiary referral center for proctology were evaluated.Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in all patients with grade III hemorrhoids who were treated between January 2013 and August 2018. Medical history, symptoms, reinterventions, complications, and patient-reported outcome measurements (PROM) were retrieved from individual electronic patient files, which were prospectively entered as standard questionnaires in our clinic.Results: Overall, 327 patients (163 males) were treated by either RBL (n=182) or hemorrhoidectomy (n=145). The median follow-up was 44 months. The severity of symptoms and patient preference led to the treatment of choice. The most commonly experienced symptoms were prolapse (83.2%) and blood loss (69.7%). Hemorrhoidectomy was effective in 95.9% of the cases as a single procedure, while a single RBL procedure was only effective in 51.6%. In the RBL group, 34.6% received a second RBL session. Complications were not significantly different, 11 (7.6%) after hemorrhoidectomy versus 6 (3.3%) after RBL. However, 4 fistulas developed after hemorrhoidectomy and none after RBL (P<0.05). The pre-procedure PROM score was higher in the hemorrhoidectomy group whereas the post-procedure PROM score did not significantly differ between the groups.Conclusion: Treatment of grade III hemorrhoids usually requires more than one session RBL whereas 1-time hemorrhoidectomy suffices. Complications were more common after hemorrhoidectomy. The patient-related outcome did not differ between procedures.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess frequency and risk factors of severe bleeding after proctological surgery requiring hemostatic surgery observed after publication of the French guidelines for anticoagulant and platelet-inhibitor treatment.Methods: All patients who underwent proctological surgery between January 2012 and March 2017 in a referral center were included. Delay, severity of bleeding, and need for blood transfusion were recorded. Patients with severe postoperative bleeding were matched to controls at a 2:1 ratio adjusted on the operator, and the type of surgery.Results: Among the 8,890 operated patients, 65 (0.7%) needed a postoperative hemostatic procedure in an operating room. The risk of a hemostatic surgery was significantly increased after hemorrhoidal surgery compared with other procedures (1.9% vs. 0.5%, P<10–4) and was most frequent after Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy (2.5%). Mean bleeding time was 6.2 days and no bleeding occurred after day 15. Blood transfusion rate was 0.1%. Treatment with anticoagulants and platelet inhibitors were managed according to recommendations and did not increase the severity of bleeding. The risk of severe bleeding was significantly lower in active smokers vs. non-smokers in univariate (16.9% vs. 36.2%, P=0.007) and multivariate (odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.14–0.65) analysis whereas sex, age, and body mass were not significantly associated with bleeding.Conclusion: Severe postoperative bleeding occurs in 0.7% of patients, but varies with type of procedure and is not affected by anticoagulant or antiplatelet treatment. These treatments given in accordance with the new guidelines do not increase the severity of postoperative bleeding.
Recurrent bleeding after posthemorrhoidectomy caused by factor V deficiency: a case report and review of the literature
Authors: Chung Jun Seong , Kwak Han Deok , Ju Jae Kyun
Published: July 2021

Congenital factor V (FV) deficiency is a rare hemorrhagic disorder that can cause excessive bleeding during and after surgery in the affected patient. This report is the case of a patient who had FV deficiency with recurrent posthemorrhoidectomy bleeding treated with the hemostatic procedure and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusions. A 45-year-old male patient had previously undergone hemorrhoidectomy for multiple hemorrhoids at a local hospital. Hemorrhoidectomy was successful; however, he was transferred to our hospital for evaluation of the origin of the recurrent posthemorrhoidectomy bleeding and underwent a hemostatic procedure. This bleeding was treated with coagulation using electrocautery, multiple sutures, and FFP transfusion (1,600 mL/day) for 7 consecutive days. The patient’s plasma FV activity was 23%. Early detection of clotting factor deficiency in patients with hemorrhagic events after surgical treatments may prevent unnecessary procedures such as reoperations and minimize the cost of replacement therapy such as large-volume FFP transfusion.
Influence of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin on Maturation in Striped Murrel, Channa striatus
Authors: SELVARAJ S. , FRANCIS T.
Published: July 2021

Gonadal development, gonadosomatic index (GSI), oocyte diameter, fecundity, histology and level of serum steroid hormones (testosterone and estradiol-17β) were observed in captive striped murrel (Channa striatus Bloch) implanted with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) capsules and cholesterol capsules as control for a period of five months after implantation. HCG implants induced a significant increase in the GSI of male and female fish. The GSI values were highest in the fourth month (December) and lowest in the first month (September) in HCG implanted fishes. Variation in ova diameter of control and HCG implanted fishes revealed the presence of large size ova in HCG implanted fishes throughout the study period. Similarly, a significant increase in the fecundity of HCG implanted fishes was also observed. Fecundity was highest in December (15415 eggs) in HCG implanted fish, whereas only 2245 eggs were observed from control fish in the above sampling period. In control fish, only perinucleolar and primary oocytes were observed throughout the study period. Similarly, in testis, spermatogonia and few spermatocytes were observed till the end of the study period. Histological examination of the gonads of HCG implanted fish showed that numerous oogonia were present in the ovary after one month of HCG implantation which continued to develop into vitellogenic oocytes in the third and fourth months. The ovary in the fifth month of sampling of HCG implanted fish consisted of oocytes having completed the process of vitellogenesis. The testicular histology of HCG implanted fish showed primary spermatocytes in the first month and testis contained a large reserve of primary spermatocytes and spermatids in the second and third months. A large number of spermatids were observed in the testis in the fourth month of sampling and the testis in the fifth month of sampling predominantly contained spermatozoa. Serum testosterone level was highest (18ng•ml-1) during the fourth month (December) in HCG implanted male fish and serum estradiol-17β level was highest (61.5pg•ml-1) in the third month in HCG implanted female fish. The results of the present work can be used as a reference study for controlled breeding and reproduction of striped murrel, C. striatus.

Published: July 2021

The goby, Pseudapocryptes elongatus, is an amphibious fish and common in the coastal mud flat areas of the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The fish population was examined to obtain the information required for sustainable use and aquaculture development. Length frequency data of the fish ranging from 9.0 to 24.0 cm total length were analyzed using the FiSAT II software. The parameters of von Bertalanffy growth function fit to the length frequency data were L∞ = 26 cm, K = 0.65 yr-1, and to = - 0.26 yr-1. The longevity (tmax) was 4.35 yrs. There were two recruitment peaks with very different magnitudes and the means of the two peaks were separated by an interval of 5 months. Length at first capture (Lc) was 11.75 cm. The fishing mortality (F = 1.47 yr-1) and natural mortality (M = 1.44 yr-1) accounted for 51 and 59% of the total mortality (Z = 2.91 yr-1), respectively. Relative yield-per-recruit and biomass-per-recruit analyses gave Emax = 0.74, E0.1 = 0.61 and E0.5 = 0.35. The breeding season was extended during the rainy season, with the spawning peaks in July and October. Length at first maturity (Lm) was estimated at 15.4 and 16.3 cm for females and males, respectively. The batch fecundity estimates ranged from 2,652 to 29,406 hydrated oocytes per ovary in the fish specimens ranging from 12.8 to 22.4 cm total length. Results show that the fish stock is subjected to growth overexploitation.
Effects of Salinity and Dietary Protein Contents on Growth Performance and Body Composition of Indian White Shrimp (Fenneropenaeus indicus)
Authors: KENNARI A. ABEDIAN , PAGHEH E.
Published: July 2021

The effects of salinity and nutritional status on the growth performance as well as body composition of the Indian white shrimp (Fenneropenaeus indicus) were investigated. Juveniles of shrimp (35 days old; 0.25 g mean weight) were exposed to salinities of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 g L-1 (experiment І). Results showed that salinity affected the growth and survival of juvenile F. indicus significantly (P<0.05). The highest weight gain, final weight and carapace length gain and lower FCR were observed at 20 g L-1 of salinity and the highest food intake, SGR and survival were determined at 30 g L-1 of salinity. A 3×3 factorial experiment containing three levels of dietary protein (35, 40 and 45%) and three levels of salinity (25, 35 and 45 g L-1) was performed for 60 days to determine the response of shrimp (mean weight of 3.21±0.12 g) to different dietary proteins under different salinity conditions (experiment П). Results revealed that growth performance was improved due to increase in protein and decrease in salinity. At 45% of dietary protein and salinity of 25 g L-1, the highest weight gain, SGR and better FCR were determined. The proximate analysis of shrimp carcass showed no appreciable difference between the treatments.

У статті проведений теоретичний аналіз та визначено сутність фермерства як об’єкта державного впливу; визначено особливості та структуру публічного управління розвитком фермерства в Україні, оцінено стан аграрного ринку Сумської області з метою визначення факторів, які слід враховувати при побудові організаційно-економічного механізму функціонування та розвитку фермерства в цілому; проведено детальний аналіз стану фермерства Сумської області; визначено організаційно-економічних заходи щодо підвищення державної підтримки фермерського господарства області; сформульовано пропозиції щодо вдосконалення механізму державного регулювання інтересів фермерства та визначено їх особливості.
Визначено структуру та розкрито особливості публічного управління фермерськими господарствами в державі. На сьогоднішній день значно вдосконалено нормативно-правову базу функціонування фермерства, закцентована увага на підтримку розвитку фермерських господарств. Встановлено, що основною проблемою в розвитку фермерських господарств є функціонування великих сільськогосподарських підприємств, через які відбулося єднання політичних та економічних інститутів. Публічне управління вітчизняним перебуває у стані становлення і його державне регулювання опирається виключно на застарілі методи публічного адміністрування, які дають негативний результат запроваджених владою заходів.
Запропоновано імплементувати досвід провідних країн світу щодо впровадження та розвитку якісних дорадчих служб, які можуть змінити негативне ставлення селян до кооперативів; змогли б надавати інформацію стосовно інновацій в аграрному секторі та допомагали впроваджувати їх у життя; створення громадських організацій фермерів для лобіювання інтересів фермерів на всіх рівнях прийняття рішень; всебічне стимулювання та популяризація розвитку сільськогосподарських кооперативів.

Questa recensione presenta i contenuti e l’utilità della guida pubblicata dal Segretariato Generale del Consiglio Europeo intitolata Comunicazione inclusiva all’SGC, la quale si concentra su somiglianze e differenze tra le versioni inglese, tedesca, portoghese e italiana. Sono mostrate alcune delle strategie che possono essere utilizzate per un linguaggio più inclusivo nell’SGC. Ogni versione presenta specificità linguistiche e socio-culturali relative alle singole lingue prese in considerazione e, pertanto, sono mostrati esempi diversi in ogni traduzione del documento. Gli obiettivi sono di ottenere una maggiore consapevolezza del nostro utilizzo del linguaggio orale, scritto e visivo e di invitare il lettore a prestare maggiore attenzione all’identità delle singole persone. L’argomento trattato nella guida è attuale e sempre in evoluzione come lo sono altresì le lingue, le quali sono in costante mutamento. Si offre uno spunto di riflessione su strutture e parole di uso quotidiano, le quali in base ai contesti d’uso possono risultare discriminatorie o rischiano di essere interpretate erroneamente.

Authors: Teixeira Sabrina Anacleto , Barbosa Juliana Neves
Published: July 2021

Com o advento da pandemia do novo coronavírus, a necessidade do isolamento fez com que muitos profissionais da educação criassem métodos alternativos para se adaptarem à nova realidade de ministrar aulas práticas fora do ambiente do laboratório e da escola. Nesse contexto, a interdisciplinaridade torna-se uma aliada no processo ensino-aprendizagem, possibilitando a interação de conteúdos de áreas distintas e favorecendo a aprendizagem. Nas aulas de Redação e Biologia de uma instituição pública federal, promoveu-se uma atividade interdisciplinar de produção de Histórias em Quadrinhos (HQs) com o uso de tecnologias digitais. O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar em que medida os alunos empregaram em seus textos as características do gênero textual HQ, articulando com uma narrativa que demonstrasse domínio dos conceitos acerca das funções e das características das organelas. Do ponto de vista metodológico, este é um estudo de caso em que foram realizadas análises com uma abordagem qualitativa das HQs produzidas pelos alunos. A análise dessas produções revelou que os alunos conseguiram produzir um texto adequado ao gênero textual que refletia os conhecimentos da área de Biologia. Em relação ao uso das tecnologias, foi observado que 70% das produções foram construídas com o auxílio de alguma ferramenta digital.
Abordagem qualitativa, pesquisa colaborativa e verdades pravdas sobre ensino de língua portuguesa
Authors: Silva Júnior Silvio Nunes da
Published: July 2021

A abordagem qualitativa tem seu destaque por ultrapassar a chamada neutralidade do pesquisador e demais limitações da ciência clássica. Tal abordagem adota vertentes que são responsáveis por esclarecer reflexões e ações de pesquisa, assim como a pesquisa colaborativa, que acontece na parceria entre sujeitos da linguagem na produção conjunta de atos responsáveis (BAKHTIN, 2010), os quais são sempre novos e emergidos de situações histórico-sociais distintas. Por essa razão, é inviável, segundo Bakhtin (2012), que se pense numa verdade única, dentro de um círculo fechado. Nessa perspectiva, frente à multiplicidade de vozes e visões propiciada por investigações qualitativas na vertente da pesquisa colaborativa, proponho, com este estudo, uma reflexão sobre a constituição de verdades pravdas sobre ensino de língua portuguesa sob as orientações metodológicas já mencionadas.

Authors: Manggala Tatang , Suminar Jenny Ratna , Hafiar Hanny
Published: July 2021

The Indonesian government has set 60 priority districts/cities for stunting handling. Based on this determination, Sumedang is included in the priority district because in 2018 the stunting prevalence rate reached 32%. The selection conducted by Bappeda Sumedang contained 10 villages where the prevalence rate of stunting was high and three of them were villages in Rancakalong. To overcome this, the Rancakalong Community Health Center initiated the “Gempur Stunting” Health promotion Program which has succeeded in reducing the prevalence of stunting from 27.7% to 19.8%, making it an exemplary health promotion program. This research was conducted to determine the success factors of the "Gempur Stunting" health promotion. The results showed that reducing the highest stunting prevalence rate in Sumedang was due to the following supporting factors: (1) variations in community-based activities; (2) Good collaboration and coordination between related sectors, and (3) Reliability of the stunting-fighting health promotion program.

Authors: Rahiem Vikry Abdullah , Fitrananda Charisma Asri
Published: July 2021

The growth of games as a fast growing industry in Indonesia has made online gaming business lines increasingly developed, so that a business market for buying and selling virtual goods (virtual items in games) is formed in several virtual goods marketplaces such as itemku.com. The formation of the business market on the virtual goods marketplace has created various perceptions to support their gaming activities. This study uses qualitative methods, observation techniques, in-depth interviews and documentation. The theory used is perception. This study will discuss how variables such as sensation, anticipation and interpretation are formed from gamers about how microtransactions are carried out and also associated with CMC (Computer Mediated Communcations) to find out how communication patterns occur in these mictrotransactions. As a result, the majority of gamers have the same perception of microtransactions. Gamers who make virtual goods transactions aim to get satisfaction as well as actualization, virtual items that have more value in the game also trigger to perform microtransactions as part of the pride, and factor of self-existence when doing gaming activities using CMC.
Enhancement of optical sectioning capability of temporal focusing microscopy by using time-multiplexed multi-line focusing
Authors: Inazawa Kenta , Isobe Keisuke , Ishikawa Tomohiro , Namiki Kana , Miyawaki Atsushi , Kannari Fumihiko , Midorikawa Katsumi
Published: July 2021

Temporal focusing (TF) microscopy has a trade-off between temporal resolution, optical sectioning capability, and field of view. To improve this trade-off, we demonstrate time-multiplexed multi-line temporal focusing (TM-ML-TF) microscopy, which combines the time-multiplexed TF technique with multi-line focusing using a digital micromirror device. Compared with those for TF microscopy, the optical sectioning capability and the signal-to-background ratio were improved by factors of 2.5 and 4.17, respectively. In addition, by applying post-processing for structured illumination microscopy to TM-ML-TF microscopy, the optical sectioning capability and the signal-to-background ratio were further enhanced by factors of 1.2 and 4.63, respectively.
CHALLENGES OF TEACHING THE ECONOMIC SCIENCES IN GEORGIAN UNIVERSITIES
Authors: LEKASHVILI EKA
Published: July 2021

The teaching process of economic sciences must serve to train the competitive staff that will be successful in the field of economic theory and practical economics.
Under the formation of market economy and economic transformation, the neo-liberal economic theory replaced the teaching of Marxist political economy in the university education space, for which a favorable environment for the occupation of the prevailing position in the country and the university was caused by many external and internal factors. But, in fact, we have still taken a stand that promotes unilateral development of economic thinking and excludes the pluralism of scientific thinking and the development of critical thinking. In the modern conditions, the use of “laissez faire” doctrine without the realization of state regulation is an abstraction from reality”. Among the challenges of teaching the economic sciences in Georgian universities is the issue of the “Course of Economic History”. From the higher education programs of the economy, the course of “history of economics” has been taken out, which in turn negatively affects the qualifications of the graduates of the economic program and the quality of knowledge. The Scientific study of economic processes cannot be done
without consensual knowledge of traditional traditions and cultural-historical existence and genetic-historical analysis. Also, in the era of globalization and information technology development, new challenges emerged in the challenges of teaching economic science. It is important to introduce interdisciplinary approaches and methods of teaching. In the context of the information period, it is important to modernize economic programs in the form of graduates, who will be
able to engage in e-governance, which should provide citizens with the use of new technologies in their decision-making process. In addition, the development of this direction will facilitate acceleration of processes of electronic democracy
and make governance processes transparent. It is desirable to modernize educational programs through such training courses as “reengineering business processes for e-governance”, “geographical information systems for territorial governance”,
“e-governance solutions support systems”, etc.
FEAR OF ADVERSE EFFECTS AND COVID-19 VACCINE HESITANCY; A REVIEW
Authors: Chourasia Anurag
Published: July 2021

The success of an immunisation programme is dependent on public understanding about vaccination benets and risks. It is critical to have a lot of
knowledge about vaccine safety. Traditional vaccine development can take years, but nding a vaccine to prevent Covid- 19 has evolved into a race
between viruses and people, and the discovery of other comparable strains has made it even more difcult. Vaccines can help your immune system
learn how to ght against diseases. They can protect us from some illnesses and assist us in living more fullling lives. People get vaccines for
protection, but they have no idea what vaccines do to the body or how they work to boost immunity. People are not well informed about
immunisation and its benets and adverse effects, which is why they are concerned about the Covid-19 vaccine. The government should provide
complete coverage knowledge and information about not just the benets but also the side effects of vaccines prior to immunisation through
awareness programmes, organising campaigns, and other means, as well as through the development of vaccine promotion campaigns in schools.

Published: July 2021

Background: Assessing the knowledge in transfusion medicine among medical undergraduates which will play a major impact while using the
blood and it is also concerned with safety of the patient. Transfusion medicine is a branch of medicine which deals with all the aspects of blood and
blood components from collection to transfusion. Blood transfusion is also used in treating various dreadful diseases, so knowledge about this is
utmost important. Main aim of this study is to analyse and evaluate the basic knowledge about transfusion medicine among undergraduates which
provide information about the methods which have to be improved.
Materials and methods: we conducted a cross sectional study to evaluate the knowledge of transfusion medicine among 186 medical
undergraduates from various medical colleges in south India, using multiple choice questions.
Results: There is a not much disparity of knowledge between rst year and nal year medical undergraduates regarding transfusion medicine.
Most of these upcoming doctors expressed difculties in answering basic questions. Major breaks in the knowledge were noted among both rst
year and nal year medical undergraduates.
Conclusion:After observing the results we believe that more action plans are needed to increase the efciency and some additional topics are to be
added to our present medical educational curriculum which might limit the consequences.
Statistical Outlier Curation Kernel Software (SOCKS): A Modern, Efficient Outlier Detection and Curation Suite
Authors: Pal Prasanta , Lutterveld Remko Van , Quirós Nancy , Taylor Veronique , Brewer Judson
Published: July 2021

Real world signal acquisition through sensors, is at the heart of modern digital revolution. However, almost every signal acquisition systems are contaminated with noise and outliers. Precise detec- tion, and curation of data is an essential step to reveal the true-nature of the uncorrupted observations. With the exploding volumes of digital data sources, there is a critical need for a robust but easy-to-operate, low-latency, generic yet highly customizable, outlier- detection and curation tool, easily accessible, adaptable to diverse types of data sources. Existing methods often boil down to data smoothing that inherently cause valuable information loss. We have developed a C++ based, software tool to decontaminate time- series and matrix like data sources, with the goal of recovering the ground-truth. The SOCKS tool would be made available as an open-source software for broader adoption in the scientific community. Our work calls for a philosophical shift in the design pipelines of real- world data processing. We propose, raw data should be decontaminated first, through conditional flagging of outliers, curation of flagged points, followed by iterative, parametrically tuned, asymptotic converge to the ground-truth as accurately as possible, before performing traditional data processing tasks.

Published: July 2021

This work proposes a methodology for the energy-and cost-efficient 3-D deployment of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based aerial access point (AAP), that exchanges a given amount of independent data with a set of ground user equipment (UE). Considering a fly-hover-communicate transmission scheme, the most energy-efficient 3-D hovering points (HPs) of the AAP are determined by decoupling the problem in the horizontal and vertical dimensions. First, we derive analytically the optimal hovering altitude that jointly maximizes the downlink and uplink global energy efficiency (GEE) of the system. Next, we propose the multilevel circle packing (MCP) algorithm to determine the minimal number of HPs and their associated horizontal coordinates, such that the AAP covers all the UEs in the given geographical area. A cost analysis is carried out to observe the variation of both fixed and variable costs; these are then minimized by suitably selecting the AAP's battery parameters, like the depth of discharge (DOD), defined as the portion of battery capacity that is consumed during a discharge cycle, and the velocity of the UAV. Simulation results show that: the UAV energy consumption has a significant impact on the 3-D HPs of the AAP; the time spent during the substitution swap of an out of power AAP has a major influence on the operational cost; the cost of the system can be optimized by suitably selecting the onboard battery and the UAV flight parameters.
Neural Comb Filtering using Sliding Window Attention Network for Speech Enhancement
Authors: Parvathala Venkatesh , Kodukula Sri Rama Murty , Andhavarapu Siva Ganesh
Published: July 2021

In this paper, we demonstrate the significance of restoring harmonics of the fundamental frequency (pitch) in deep neural network (DNN) based speech enhancement. We propose a sliding-window attention network to regress the spectral magnitude mask (SMM) from the noisy speech signal. Even though the network parameters can be estimated by minimizing the mask loss, it does not restore the pitch harmonics, especially at higher frequencies. In this paper, we propose to restore the pitch harmonics in the spectral domain by minimizing cepstral loss around the pitch peak. The network parameters are estimated using a combination of the mask loss and cepstral loss. The proposed network architecture functions like an adaptive comb filter on voiced segments, and emphasizes the pitch harmonics in the speech spectrum. The proposed approach achieves comparable performance with the state-of-the-art methods with much lesser computational complexity.
Le sfide globali dell’era odierna da assumere come coordinate generali
Authors: Lombardi Mauro
Published: July 2021

In an era characterized by uncertainty and complexity efforts must be increased to define general coordinates on which to base medium-long term strategies. To this end, it is reasonable to start with the precise identification of global challenges and then define the appropriate theoretical and operational tools to face them. Indeed this chapter deals with topics concerning the following trends: 1) smart manufacturing. 2) Constraints deriving from limited basic natural resources (water, energy, food). 3) Potentialities and risks of artificial intelligence developments. 4) Changes in the workplace as a result of the increasing use of AI. 5) Suggestions on how to rethink work through two trajectories and one operational trail.

Ciudades Cambiantes: spazi aperti urbani in evoluzione per nuove città
Authors: Bellmunt Jordi
Published: July 2021

La città cambia nello stesso modo in cui lo fanno anche le persone. Le vecchie città stanno lottando per la loro sopravvivenza, per il loro futuro, per essere più vivibili, più respirabili, più vicine alle persone che le abitano e, negli ultimi tempi, si stanno rilevando evidenti metamorfosi che rompono schemi, distruggono previsioni e modificano obiettivi pianificati. In un mondo in cui si presume che nei prossimi cinquant'anni oltre l'80% della popolazione vivrà in ambienti urbani, la lotta per rettificare le tendenze e per conquistare la città per il cittadino è cruciale.
Still Life – Natura Morta: the landscapes of proximity
Authors: Dobricic Sasa , Acri Marco
Published: July 2021

The social distancing does represent an oxymoron: how can there be distancing if what characterizes the very sociality is the proximity between individuals, and generally living beings? Comparable to living dead space (Todd R.W., 2007) or more notorious “still life” or “natura morta”, the paradox remains unsolved:  how can something like nature that is impregnated with life, be dead?

PERANCANGAN SIMPLE STATELESS AUTENTIKASI DAN OTORISASI LAYANAN REST-API BERBASIS PROTOKOL HTTP
Authors: Ady Kusuma I Gusti Ngurah
Published: July 2021

Arsitektur Microservice merupakan arsitektur pembangunan sistem yang sering digunakan saat ini. Konsepnya adalah memisahkan komponen program / fungsionalitas ke dalam aplikasi yang berbeda. Antar komponen menggunakan protokol Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) untuk berkomunikasi karena HTTP mendukung multiplatform layaknya sebuah website ditambah lagi munculnya skema REST API. REST API memungkinkan pengguna dan layanan untuk bertukar data antar platform. Permasalahan yang muncul berasal dari semua komunikasi pada protokol HTTP bersifat stateless, yang dimana setiap permintaan yang diterima akan dijalankan secara independen. Termasuk apakah klien sebelumnya sudah diautentikasi atau belum. Hal ini akan rentan terhadap penyusup yang belum terotentikasi sehingga tidak dapat dipastikan otoritasnya dalam mengakses suatu fungsi. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, diperlukan skema otentikasi dan otorisasi yang dapat mengakomodasi skema layanan mikro. Metode yang dapat digunakan adalah dengan pemanfaatan kode otorisasi yang bersifat unik yang ditempelkan pada setiap permintaan layanan yang divalidasi oleh sebuah server independent. Alur dari skemanya digambarkan menggunakan sequence diagram dan didukung dengan konseptual database. Penelitian ini menghasilkan sebuah rancangan metode autentikasi dan otorisasi sederhana yang dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif  kemanan pada arsitektur microservice

Published: July 2021

Home buying is a very thought-intensive process that entails several factors like budget, locality, amenities, commutation & communication facilities etc. Lately, along with these factors, there has been a sought after “Environmental Friendliness & Sustainability of Homes”. People have started looking for properties that are built with a eco-friendly approach, such that it gave rise to a new niche of homes in the arena of homebuying called “Eco-Friendly Houses”. An Eco-Friendly House, or an Eco-House as it is called, is basically a low-impact & environment friendly construction built with the intent of lessening pollution, reducing the carbon footprint, & thus global warming contribution, of the property, & having a sustainable endurance.
To study the factors that influence purchase of Eco-Houses, 478 eco-home buyers were interviewed, out of which the researcher with 430 respondents, conducted an empirical study using percentage analysis as a statistical tool and concluded that there are various factors affecting the selection criteria out of which the most effective ones are features of eco-homes like solar energy plants & wind turbines, rainwater harvesting, planting trees & saplings all across the premises of then property.

„Tylko nie dres, bo się źle kojarzy”. Rola wizerunków ciała w kształtowaniu podmiotowości w klasie ludowej
Authors: Olko Dorota
Published: July 2021

Przedmiotem artykułu jest znaczenie uklasowionych reprezentacji w kształtowaniu stosunku do ciała i konstruowaniu własnej podmiotowości przez osoby z klasy ludowej. Tekst opiera się na jakościowej analizie kilkudziesięciu wywiadów pogłębionych z kobietami i mężczyznami, a także programów typu reality show z udziałem klasy ludowej: Projekt Lady i Warsaw Shore. Wbrew wcześniejszym badaniom (Skeggs 1997) w świetle przeprowadzonych analiz klasowe reprezentacje są negatywnym punktem odniesienia nie tylko dla kobiet, lecz także dla większości dorosłych mężczyzn z klasy ludowej. Badanie pokazuje, że o ile trudno zrekonstruować wzorzec atrakcyjnego ciała, który byłby obiektem pożądania i aspiracji badanej grupy (bo średnioklasowe wzorce dbałości o ciało nie są przez nią przyjmowane bezkrytycznie), o tyle kluczowe w procesie budowania podmiotowości jest dążenie do odróżnienia się od reprezentacji klasy ludowej funkcjonujących w kulturze popularnej (figura dresiarza i dresiary) oraz od osób będących najniżej w strukturze społecznej (bezdomni i menele).

Retesting Conjecture of Acupuncture in Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory
Authors: Wang Tian-Qi , Wang Ya-Jie , Xu Si-Tong
Published: July 2021

This study proposes the following hypothesis based on studies from various aspects and various historical periods in acupuncture: meridians and collaterals are a continuous, interwoven and ordered system of cells with the same active vibration frequency that guides human nerve activity
and blood circulation, and acupuncture can temporarily open, unblock or shut such a system. Yin and Yang depend on the acidity and alkalinity of the internal and external liquid of cells caused by the human body after ingestion of food or influenced by the environment. Traditional Chinese
medicine can help the human body adjust the acid-base balance, which is to say, adjust the imbalance state of Yin and Yang. The structure of functional active groups determines the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, and the structure can be predicted by using the principle of topology
to play a role in the treatment of the corresponding target.
