Published: September 2023

Water surface garbage has a significant impact on the protection of water environments and ecological balance, making water surface garbage object detection a critical task. Traditional supervised object detection methods require a large amount of annotated data. To address this issue, we propose a method that combines strong and weak supervision with CLIP (Contrastive Language–Image Pretraining) for water surface garbage object detection. First, we train on a dataset annotated with strong supervision, using traditional object detection algorithms to learn the location information of water surface garbage. Then, we input the water surface garbage images into CLIP’s visual encoder to obtain visual feature representations. Simultaneously, we train CLIP’s text encoder using textual description annotations to obtain textual feature representations of the images. By fusing the visual and textual features, we obtain comprehensive feature representations. In the weak supervision training phase, we input the comprehensive feature representations into the object detection model and employ a training strategy that combines strong and weak supervision to detect and localize water surface garbage. To further improve the model’s performance, we introduce attention mechanisms and data augmentation techniques to enhance the model’s focus and robustness towards water surface garbage. By conducting experiments on two water surface garbage datasets, we validate the effectiveness of the proposed method based on the combination of strong and weak supervision with CLIP for water surface garbage object detection tasks.
Research on the SSIDM Modeling Mechanism for Equivalent Driver’s Behavior
Authors: Fang Rui
Published: September 2023

To solve the problem of smooth switching between the car-following model and lane-changing model, the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) for a single lane was used to study the driver’s behavior switching mechanism of normally following, generating intentions to change lanes, creating space and speed gains, and performing lane change. In the case of sufficient lane-changing space and speed gains, the ego vehicle’s intention to change lanes was considered to solve the switching boundary between car-following behavior and lane-changing behavior, which is also the IDM failure point. In the event that there are no lane-changing gains, the IDM was optimized by incorporating the constraint components of the target lane vehicles in conjunction with the actual motion state of the ego vehicle, and the Stepless Switching Intelligent Driver Model (SSIDM) was constructed. Drivers’ natural driving information was collected, and scenario mining was performed on structured roads. On the basis of the collected data, an elliptic equation was used to fit the behavior switching boundary, and the two component balance coefficients of the front and rear vehicles on the target lane were identified. According to the test set verification results, the Mean Square Error (MSE) of the SSIDM is 2.172, which is 57.98% less than that of the conventional single-lane IDM. The SSIDM can accomplish stepless switching comparable to the driver’s behavior between the car-following behavior and the lane-changing behavior, with greater precision than IDM. This research can provide theoretical support for the construction of the point-to-point driving model and the development of L2+ autonomous driving functions. It can provide assistance for the landing and application of full-behavior and full-scene autonomous driving.

The purpose of the work was to study the effectiveness of rearing larvae of Tenebrio molitor and Zophobas morio as a source of feed protein, as well as their chemical composition and amino acid characteristics, while improving the nutrient medium. It was found that the cultivation of Zophobas morio larvae for the production of feed protein is more eff ective than Tenebrio molitor larvae. At the age of 71 days, the average weight of Zophobas morio reached 387,0±8,24 mg, which was 238,8 mg more than that of the large Tenebrio molitor or 2,6 times (p < 0,001). There was a higher content of crude fat and crude protein in the chemical composition of Zophobas morio larvae by 9,4 g/kg or 6,2 % and 8,6 g/kg or 4,2 % with the same content of chitin 25–26 g/kg, calcium 0,32–0,35 g/kg and ash 23,3–24,7 g/kg. In the larvae of Zophobas morio a signifi cantly higher content of lysine was found by 9,7 g/kg or 2,3 times, valine by 29,8 g/kg or 2,5 times, leucine+isoleucine by 33,3 g/kg or 2,6 times, serine by 8,2 g/kg or 2,4 times, alanine by 13,4 g/kg or 2,3 times, glycine by 9,0 mg/kg or 2,6 times, proline by 5,9 g/kg or 2,4 times and tyrosine by 1,1 g/kg or 39,3 %. The introduction of dried daphnia into the traditional nutrient medium of Zophobas morio made it possible to signifi cantly increase the mass of larvae by 54,4 mg or 16,4 % (p < 0,01), as well as the content in them such nutrient as dry matter by 13,3 g or 3,4 %, crude protein and fat by 35,3 g/kg or 19,7 % and 8,7 g/kg or 5,7 %, metabolic energy by 1,8 MJ/kg or 25,3 %, lysine by 7,1 g/kg or 68,9 %, cystine by 2,2 g/kg or 2,2 times, arginine by 16,3 g/kg or 2,5 times, leucine+isoleucine by 29,5 g/kg or 2,2 times. Such use of dried daphnia did not have a high positive effect on the growth rate of Tenebrio molitor larvae, their chemical composition and amino acid profile.

The purpose of the research was to consider the possibilities of using the “Atlas of the morphology of the skin and wool of sheep to improve breeding work in sheep breeding” (further in the text is the Atlas) on the basis of many years of own research and analysis of literary sources. This Atlas contains data on the morphology of the skin and wool cover of sheep of diff erent productivity directions, including breeding rams of Australian merino breed from the breeding farms UARDRY, COLLINSVILLE, HADDON RIG, EAST BUNGAREE, as well as domestic fine-fleeced breeds, semi-rough-wool and shorttailed breeds. The characteristic features and breed features are considered, presented such as a data bank of indicators of the histostructure of sheep skin of more than 20 breeds of Russia, a database of qualitative indicators of wool productivity of breeding rams of leading breeding farms in the south of Russia, allowing to objectively trace the effectiveness of breeding work. A huge array of data on different breeds allowed us to identify a common pattern – a high correlation between the ratio of secondary follicles to primary and the fleece of wool. The correlation coefficient of the size of the hair group at birth with wool shearing at one–year–old sheep was r = +0,69–0,78, the correlation coefficient of the total follicle density at birth with wool shearing at one-year-old was r = +0,85–0,88. This pattern became the basis of the method of predicting wool productivity of sheep at an early age. It is important that for use in breeding, the ratio of follicles had a suffi cient level of heritability – h2 = 0,46–0,54. It is scientifi cally proven that the inclusion of histological parameters of the skin, its total thickness, the ratio of the epidermis, pilar and reticular layers, allows us to supplement and obtain an objective expert assessment of sheepskins. This Atlas should serve as a visual aid to scientists and breeders when breeding new breeds, lines, types of sheep of different directions of productivity.
relevância atual da crítica não radical de Carl Gustav Jung às religiões e para a compreensão das atuais tendências ao fundamentalismo e à intolerância religiosa
Authors: Mourão Vasconcelos Eduardo
Published: September 2023

Este pequeno ensaio visa introduzir e revisar alguns conceitos básicos do pensamento de Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), fundador da psicologia analítica, e suas principais ideias em relação às religiões, tema sempre presente no conjunto de suas obras. Entretanto, busca mostrar também sua relevância atual para a compreensão dos processos psicológicos envolvidos na expansão atual, no Brasil e em vários países do mundo, de alguns credos e igrejas com forte caráter fundamentalista, que têm estimulado a intolerância para com outros credos e o ataque a valores associados a ideias republicanas seculares, à diversidade de pensamento, aos Direitos Humanos e/ou direitos defendidos por movimento sociais étnicos, femininos e feministas, e LGBT+.
Reflexões sobre as diversidades religiosa e musical no contexto da educação brasileira
Authors: Bastianelli Ricardo , Andrade da Silva Marizete
Published: September 2023

As relações intrínsecas entre a religião e a música ocorrem em diversas expressões culturais de diferentes contextos e temporalidades. Observaremos como elas são abordadas e, sobretudo, como serão relacionadas no contexto da educação básica no país, procurando compreender quais dimensões socioculturais e políticas são discutidas teoricamente e na prática do ensino. A partir de um breve estado da arte e uma revisão integrativa da produção científica sobre ensinos musical e religioso dos últimos 10 anos, cujas normativas se apoiam na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), refletiremos como o currículo escolar, o conteúdo e a forma do ensino-aprendizagem musical e religioso são contextualizados em relação às experiências multiculturais que ocorrem nos espaços escolar e extra-escolar, e como dialogam com as vivências cotidianas.
La imaginación como parte de una “teología profana”:
Authors: Jacobo Tancara Chambe Juan
Published: September 2023

El lugar de la imaginación en la vida humana es uno de los grandes temas que desarrolló Rubem Alves en los inicios de su labor teológica renovadora. También incorporó al lenguaje como una de sus preocupaciones principales para redirigir la reflexión liberadora de manera integral. Tancara profundiza en la manera en que Alves asumió el lugar de los sueños y la utopía, además de redefinir lo que es la realidad. Enfatiza la rebeldía que este enfoque representa para una teología firmemente antropológica y atenta a la situación humana integral.
Uma obstinada esperança.

Pondo no centro de sua reflexão os corpos, o desejo, a imaginação, Alves aponta novos caminhos até mesmo para o pensamento teológico que ainda são muito atuais e frutíferos. Também para as teólogas e as propostas delas de um mundo diferente, no qual a beleza e a justiça estão intimamente entrelaçadas. Com Alves estes concordam que a justiça vem da beleza.
Danser par la voix de l’écriture. À propos des chamanes scripteurs des Yi-Sani (Chine)
Authors: Névot Aurélie
Published: September 2023

Among the Yi-Sani of southwest China, mastery of a peculiar script is a condition for local shamanic practices. In mythology, the texts of bimo religious specialists are associated with the sounds of drunkenness and a form of asceticism. For the voicing of these versified writings in rituals, which are perceived not as written words but as graphic chants linked to the body substances of the officiants, it supposes a change of state pertaining to ecstasy and trance perceptible only by the spirits. In order to discuss Roberte Hamayon’s works, the question of feeling and the idea of the shaman as a “seized-being” in the sense of Erwin Straus is introduced with references to movement and music, notably through Anne Boissière. Finally, the article proposes to perceive chanting (graphic or verbal) and movement (internalized as well as externalized) as fundamental modes of shamanic interaction from which an opening to the world is created, and a connection is made between different entities located in the acoustic and metaphysical space elaborated by the shaman who animates it through the trepidations of his body.
Jouer (et donner) à penser. Une lecture de Roberte Hamayon en contexte(s) chinois
Authors: Vermander Benoît
Published: September 2023

Jouer, de Roberte Hamayon, apporte un éclairage spécifique sur les mécanismes régissant tout un pan des interactions sociales, dans le monde asiatique et au-delà. Pour en souligner la fécondité, cet article procède en quatre temps. En l’abordant sous l’angle d’une « économie morale du jeu », il le rapproche et le contraste tout à la fois de l’Essai sur le don, de Marcel Mauss ; il illustre le mode d’articulation entre rite et jeu suggéré par la lecture croisée de ces deux ouvrages au travers d’une description des enjeux attachés à la célébration des rituels chez les Nuosu (Yi de Liangshan), dans le sud-ouest du Sichuan. Dans un deuxième temps, l’article continue à explorer les effets sociaux produits par le croisement de l’action rituelle, du jeu et du don en relisant les analyses de R. Hamayon à la lumière de Marcel Granet. La troisième partie contraste l’unité sémantique du champ considéré dans l’aire culturelle étudiée par R. Hamayon avec l’éclatement (au moins apparent) du vocabulaire du « jouer » en monde chinois ; et elle signale certaines pratiques récentes qui résonnent avec les intuitions développées dans l’ouvrage. La dernière partie s’appuie sur les Recherches philosophiques de Ludwig Wittgenstein pour esquisser quelques réflexions autour de l’articulation entre « jeu », « langage » et « pensée ».
Le médiumnisme wenzhou en contexte diasporique : continuité et adaptation
Authors: Junliang Pan
Published: September 2023

Le présent article, à partir d’enquêtes menées entre 2008 et 2015 auprès de femmes médiums wenzhou de la région parisienne, montre que ces spécialistes de la divination médiumnique, malgré la déterritorialisation géographique et symbolique, tentent de s’adapter au défi de la situation diasporique, et ont su puiser dans d’autres sources religieuses, particulièrement dans le bouddhisme, pour ajuster leurs rituels et continuer de proposer leurs services rituels aux migrants de leur communauté tout en procédant à une reterritorialisation. Mobile et flexible, le médiumnisme wenzhou en situation diasporique reste tout de même attaché à la culture d’origine, les références au pays natal étant omniprésentes dans les discours et pratiques des officiants, et conserve son principe pragmatique, qui insiste sur un résultat concret et immédiat, et ses stratégies consistant en des ruses et tromperies.
Du Noir cosmologique au bleu aérien : une brève histoire de la couleur du ciel dans le Japon d’Edo (1603-1868)
Authors: Parmentier Marie
Published: September 2023

During the Tokugawa period (1603–1868), Japan inherited a centuries-old Chinese tendency to disdain chromatic questions. However, one of these questions, originating in the famous words of Zhuangzi who wondered about the celestial “azure,” was able to override this elitist tendency: that of the color of the heavens. The question further deepens as we discover a two-colored sky, tinted in black, but also in blue. The former, which cannot be questioned because of its status of cosmological legitimacy according to the orthodox frame, will conversely push various Taoist, Confucian, and Buddhist theories, but also, in the spirit of the times, Jesuit and Dutch theories, to explain the origin of the latter. The way Japanese scholars solved the question of the color of the sky during the Tokugawa period leads us to a better understanding of the classical chromatic perception of these phenomena on the eve of the modernization of the Meiji period (1868–1912).

El estudio de pirólisis de cáscara de castaña boliviana se realizó en dos etapas. La primera etapa permitió observar el efecto del tiempo y de la temperatura en tres niveles a presión atmosférica y flujo de gas nitrógeno constante de 10mL/min. La segunda etapa se evaluó en base a un pretratamiento de secado de la cáscara de castaña para ver el efecto que esto provocaría en las propiedades de los productos obtenidos. El trabajo permitió evaluar los comportamientos del biochar, bioaceites y biogases en base a parámetros de rendimiento de obtención, densidad, pH y otros. Bajo las condiciones de estudio aplicadas se determinó que el pretratamiento de secado no mejora las propiedades, sino por el contrario, provoca una pérdida en el rendimiento de bioaceites y la viscosidad disminuye considerablemente. Finalmente, respecto a la obtención de mejores productos, se determinó que la temperatura con una mejor distribución de productos y manteniendo un buen balance entre las propiedades medidas, es a 575°C con un tiempo de pirólisis de 60 minutos. Bajo estas condiciones se obtuvieron los siguientes rendimientos: 34%, 27% y 38% para biochar, bioaceites y biogases, respectivamente.

Представлены результаты анализа эпидемиологических данных распространенности туберкулеза в Беларуси в 2020–2021 гг. (период вирусной пандемии COVID-19) в сравнении с данными за 2019 г. (допандемический период) и 2022 г. (первый год выхода из пандемии). После резкого снижения показателя заболеваемости туберкулезом в первый год пандемии с 18,6 до 12,6 на 100 тыс. населения (на 32,3%) в последующие годы (2021–2022 гг.) показатель имеет тенденцию к увеличению, достигнув 15,0 на 100 тыс. населения (увеличение на 17,2%). Смертность от туберкулеза в пандемический период снизилась до 1,2 на 100 тыс. населения по сравнению с допандемическим периодом (2,2) и после выхода из пандемии продолжает снижаться (1,05). Перестройка деятельности противотуберкулезной службы, направленная на успешное функционирование в условиях вирусной пандемии COVID-19, способствовала снижению негативного влияния пандемии на эпидемиологическую ситуацию по туберкулезу, что обеспечило в целом благоприятный выход из пандемии.

Proposals of the results of the analysis of epidemiological data on the spread of tuberculosis in Belarus in 2020–2021 (period of the COVID-19 viral pandemic) in the coming years with data for 2019 (pre-pandemic period) and 2022 (the first year out of the pandemic). After a pronounced manifestation of the incidence of tuberculosis in the first year of the pandemic from 18.6 to 12.6 per 100 thousand of the population (by 32.3%), in subsequent years (2021–2022), the proportion of the population is significant to increase, reaching 15.0 per 100 thousand population (by 17.2%). Mortality from tuberculosis during the pandemic period decreased to 1.2 per 100 thousand of the population compared to the pre-pandemic period (2.2) and continues to decline after the end of the pandemic (1.05). The restructuring of the anti-tuberculosis service, aimed at successful functioning in the context of the COVID-19 viral pandemic, contributed to reducing the negative impact of the pandemic on the epidemiological situation with tuberculosis, which ensured, in general, a favorable exit from the pandemic.

Published: September 2023

Influence of nitrogen rates on the performance of Wheat varieties were investigated to determine the effects of nitrogen rates on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum) in the study area. The experiments were laid out in split plot design with seven nitrogen rates. The treatments were replicated three times. The sub plot size was 3 m x 2 m. The crop was planted in the middle of November, at the beginning of the dry season. Half of each nitrogen rate was applied at sowing and the other half splited into two and top dressed at early tilling and flowering stage. Data were collected on number of tillers, Plant height, number of spikelets spike-1, number of grains spike1, weight of 1000 grain, biomass yield, grain yield and harvest index. All the data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Least Significant Difference (LSD) using Genstat version 4.0. The results revealed that nitrogen fertilization had significant effect (P<0.05) on wheat yield and yield components. Number of tillers was highest at 180 kg N ha-1 and variety Linfen. Similarly, Plant height was best at 180 kg N ha-1 and variety Reyna-28 while number of spikelets spike-1 was highest at 150 kg N ha-1 and variety Reyna-28 which was at par with Linfen. All the yield characters and final grain yield performed best at 120 kg N ha-1 and Reyna-28. These results indicate that, Nitrogen rate of 120 kg N ha-1 and Reyna-28 proved to be the best rate and variety for higher grain yield. Thus it is recommended that 120 kg N ha-1 and Reyna-28 be used for irrigated wheat production in the study area.

Published: September 2023

Sugarcane, Saccharum officinarum L. is one of the major commercial crops grown in Eswatini. However, pest and diseases are pivotal to the decrease in yield output in the country. Sugarcane white grubs (SWG), Heteronychus licas Klug (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) are amongst the important pests of sugarcane in the country. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) were found to be effective in controlling both soil borne as well as above ground insect pests. The current study determined the effect of different concentrations of Malathion and EPNs on the mortality of SWG. SWG larvae were dipped in different concentrations (0, 0.625, 1.25, and 2.5 g/L) of malathion and (0, 200, 400, and 600 IJ/insect) EPNs. SWGs were also exposed to the same concentrations in soil bioassays. Results obtained in the bioassays showed that Steinernema yirgalemense at 600 IJs/insect (85.4%) gave the highest mortality which was not significantly different from S. yirgalemense at 400 IJs/insect (72.9%). The Malathion concentrations gave 0, 79.2, 83.3 and 89.6% mortality for 0, 0.625, 1.25 and 2.5g/L of Malathion, respectively. Results obtained in the soil bioassays showed that Steinernema yirgalemense, at 600 IJs/insect (80.5%), provided higher (p < 0.05) mortality of the H. licas larvae which was not significantly different from S. yirgalemense at 400 IJs/insect (70.2%). The Malathion concentrations gave 0, 83.3, 85.4 and 87.5% mortality for 0, 0.625, 1.25 and 2.5g/L of Malathion, respectively. The results indicated that both EPN and Malathion were tested were effective against H. licas larvae. Steinernema yirgalemense at 400 IJs/insect and Malathion at 0.625g/L can effectively H. licas larvae but large-scale field trials are recommended to demonstrate the potential use of the biocontrol agent within integrated pest management programs.

Published: September 2023

In general, sustainable development has three dimensions, namely the economic, ecological and socio-cultural dimensions. The development of community activities especially farmers who need land is increasing very rapidly in line with the development of population and economic growth. To achieve high economic growth, the productivity of land is driven in such a way that it results in an increase in exploitation of natural resources which is reflected in the destruction of forests, land, water, air and biodiversity. The application of the concept of sustainable development faces various challenges because on the one hand economic development must continue to be encouraged while on the other hand cultural integrity, local wisdom and physical landscape must be maintained. This study aims to examine the economic, ecological and basic historical aspects of changes in forest land use and recommendations on land use models that provide the highest benefits and feasibility of farming. The results showed that farming that implemented cocoa-based agroforestry systems, especially cocoa and in fact gave the highest value of profit and feasibility based on economic considerations and an ecological perspective based on local wisdom for farmers around the forest.

The paper presents the results of research on film biocomposites made of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and various types of nut shells. The research involved the use of thermally treated nut shells: hazelnuts, pistachios, walnuts and peanuts. TPS biocomposites were produced by the pour method using non-adherent moulds. The obtained samples were used to test the basic physical properties used in testing biodegradable materials. The following parameters were determined: mechanical strength, colour and colour difference, water contact angle, moisture absorption from water and atmospheric air. Images of biocomposite fractures were also taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that the addition of nut shells enabled the production of homogeneous materials and contributed to the improvement of their strength parameters. The research showed that nut shells can be a prospective raw material for the production of innovative biodegradable materials.

Published: September 2023

Monolithic GaInN-based micro μLEDs arrays are expected to be applied to ultra-high-definition displays. In this study, stray light behavior of them fabricated on sapphire substrates was investigated. Results reveal that strong stray light appears considerably outside the μLED drive region, which is a major obstacle to the realization of high-definition displays. We also explored various techniques to effectively reduce the stray light. Use of flat sapphire substrates and removal of GaN material between μLEDs are effective in reducing stray light and are essential for achieving high definition in monolithic GaInN-based μLED array displays.
