Alois Riegl and the Scientific Conservation of Historical Monuments: From Practice to Theory
Authors:   Moscow State University, Larina E.A.
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the prerequisites for the formation of Alois Riegl’s ideas about historical monument and its values, which were set out in his work “The Modern Cult of Monuments: Its Character and Its Origin” (1903), created as part of the reorganization of legislation in the field of cultural heritage protection in Austria-Hungary. The task delegated to him was to draft a preamble to the law being developed, which would define the very concept and criteria of a “monument” in need of preservation. For Riegl, the assignment was an opportunity to continue research in the field of art history that he has begun during his years at the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry. The present article also reveals Riegl as an outstanding practitioner in this field through a reference to the periodicals of the Imperial Central Commission.

Impact of Topographic Wind Conditions on Dust Particle Size Distribution: Insights from a Regional Dust Reanalysis Dataset
Authors: Huang Xinyue , Gao Wenyu , Foroutan Hosein
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The size of windblown dust particles plays a critical role in determining their geochemical and climate impacts. This study investigates the relationship between topographic wind conditions (speed and direction relative to land slope) and the particle size distribution of dust emissions on a regional scale. We used the Multiscale Online Nonhydrostatic Atmosphere Chemistry (MONARCH) dust reanalysis dataset, which assimilates satellite data on coarse-mode dust optical depth (DODcoarse). Validation against flight measurements from the 2011 Fennec campaign confirms the reanalysis’s effectiveness in capturing coarse to super coarse dust. A 10-year dust reanalysis underwent selective screening to identify events with fresh emissions. Associated meteorological and land characteristics obtained from various datasets were incorporated into multiple linear regression models. Results indicate that dust particle size increases with wind speed, likely due to a higher fraction of fresh emissions and reduced deposition of coarse dust under stronger winds. A positive correlation between dust size and uphill slope suggests that enhanced vertical transport of dust by topography outweighs the impact of shifting emission microphysics over veering winds. Both positive correlations weaken in the afternoons and summer, likely due to the turbulence during haboob storms, which can suspend coarse dust from aged emissions, competing with the effect of uphill slopes. These findings on dust size dependency on topographic winds could improve dust cycle representation and its impacts.
Sea Ice Freeboard Extrapolation from ICESat-2 to Sentinel-1
Authors: Kortum Karl , Singha Suman , Spreen Gunnar
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The ICESat-2 laser altimeter can capture sea ice freeboard along track at both high vertical and high spatial resolution. The measurement occurs along three strong and three weak parallel beams. Thus the across track-direction is only very sparsely covered and capturing the two-dimensional spatial distribution of freeboard at high resolution by this instrument alone is not possible. This work shows how in early Arctic Winter (October, November) Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) acquisitions can help bridge this gap and meaningfully extrapolate the freeboard measurements to a full two-dimensional mapping. To achieve this it is sufficient to use the SAR HV backscatter to sort the pixels by intensity and then map freeboards measured from altimetry in the area via the cumulative distribution functions. With the presented algorithm, snow and ice freeboard derived from altimetry can be meaningfully extrapolated to Sentinel-1 SAR acquisitions, unlocking an extra dimension of Arctic freeboard monitoring at high spatial resolution, with errors between 10.5 cm and 6 cm for resolutions between 100 m and 400 m.

Abstract. This manuscript presents an inter-comparison between existing tropospheric ozone column (TrOC) datasets obtained using combined limb and nadir observations, i.e. exploiting collocated stratospheric profile and total column information retrieved from limb and nadir satellite observations, respectively. In particular, seven datasets have been considered, covering the past two decades and consisting of monthly averaged time series with nearly global coverage. We perform a comparison in terms of climatology and seasonality, investigate the tropopause height used for the construction of each dataset and the related biases, and finally discuss long-term TrOC drift and trends. The overall goal of the study is to assess the consistency between the datasets and explore possible strategies to reconcile the differences between them. Despite uncertainties associated with the limb-nadir residual methodology and large biases between the mean values of the considered datasets, we show an overall agreement of TrOC morphology. We demonstrate that a thorough investigation of the drifts with respect to ground-based observations is needed to evaluate TrOC trends from satellite data and that long-term trends in specific regions can be consistently detected, as the positive trend of up to 1.5 DU per decade over Southeast Asia.
Color Rendering Correctness Estimation of Aerial and Satellite Images and Restoration of Color Balance
Authors: Anikeeva Irina , Chibunichev Aleksandr
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Despite the fact that with a certain degree of generalization our idea of object’s color around us can be considered the same, the problem of estimation of the color rendering correctness is very relevant for image’s radiometric correction. The color rendering correctness is one of the most important indicators of aerial and space images visual (photographic) quality, since it determines the quality of objects brightness features transmission by the image. In aerial and space imaging for phototopographic surveying (Bianco et al, 2015), to date, neither an indicator of color imbalance nor a method for its estimation has been developed, therefore it is not possible to assess objectively the presence and degree of color imbalance. Amethod for quantitative estimating the color imbalance of an image suggested in paper. The criterion for evaluating the image’s color imbalance, a method for it’s determining and experimental verification of the developed method by correcting the image’s color balance are shown.
Keywords spotting in Russian handwritten documents based on strokes segmentation
Authors: Feoktistov Dmitrii D. , Mestetskiy Leonid M.
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The keywords spotting task in handwritten documents is as follows: a user enters text that needs to be searched for in a corpus of handwritten documents. This task can significantly simplify work with archived data. We propose a two-stage algorithm to solve this problem. The first stage involves classifying the strokes, which are the main elements of handwriting. To do this, a measure of similarity based on a Fourier descriptor for elements of the stroke representation is proposed. The second level of the algorithm involves matching the query with the text. An algorithm based on optimal string alignment distance is used for this purpose. To demonstrate the results and adjust the parameters of algorithm we use images of works completed during ”Total Dictation” exam.
Photogrammetric data analysis for fortified architecture. Survey of currently disused structures
Authors: Gioioso Gianluca , Corniello Luigi
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The research presents the results of the analysis of coastal cities in Albania, characterised by military bunkers for defensive purposes. The work is divided into an analysis of the researched territories, two-dimensional surveys of the bunkers and their classification into XS, S, M, L, XL with regard to their size, and an applicative conclusion of digital technologies for digital modelling and graphic visualisation of the spaces. These architectures are located along the coastline on steep slopes or, at this time, in the private gardens of summer residences, and this location has greatly influenced the survey campaigns, determining the state of the sites, often in a state of complete abandonment. Some underground structures, such as the one located in the bay of Porto Palermo, are currently in use by the navy for the safekeeping of ships and their maintenance. The final task of the research work is to propose a graphic knowledge of the coastal sites between Vlora and Saranda, which have been the subject of uncontrolled construction of buildings for seaside tourism in the last decade, documenting the state of the sites of defence architecture.
DiffusionBAS: Estimating Camera External Orientation Through Diffusion Process
Authors: Kniaz Vladimir V. , Skrypitsyna Tatyana N. , Knyaz Vladimir A. , Zheltov Sergey Yu.
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Violent forces such as earthquakes or human interaction can damage or demolish objects of cultural heritage. Many architectural masterpieces have survived only in a few photos or drawings. Moreover, often interior decorations of buildings such as stucco or paintings are destroyed by fire. Therefore, an automatic 2D-to-3D reconstruction that can assists architecture historians in process of restoration of original 3D shape of a lost site of culture heritage is required. An automatic in-paint method can assists restoration of partially destroyed stucco and paintings. We present an end-to-end framework that receives a single image of an object and predicts its vector of the exterior orientation parameters. The main objective of a present work is reconstruction of 3D model of a partially destroyed 3D object and it 3D in-painting. As the initial and prerequisite phase of this framework we propose a new generative model for estimation of the exterior orientation parameters for a given input image using a Diffusion model (DiffusionBAS).
Development and Training of a Neural Network Filter for Satellite Images Processing
Authors: Andriyanov Nikita , Kim Alexandr
Published: December 2024

Abstract. This paper is devoted to the study of the efficiency of using neural networks for filtering satellite images. The authors propose the use of convolutional noise suppressing autoencoders in order to minimize the filtering error variance. As part of the study, the architecture of the autoencoder was developed, optimal hyperparameters were selected and the resulting neural network model was trained. In addition, the paper compares the effectiveness of the proposed approach with traditional filtering algorithms such as Kalman filter and Wiener filter. Our models provide filtering efficiency gains of 3–4% at low noise levels (Signal-Noise-Ratio, SNR is 4 or more). The authors also investigated the effect of using data augmentations on improving the filtering quality. Experimental results showed that neural network models are able to outperform classical filters in terms of accuracy in processing real satellite images. Additionally, the paper studied the dependence of the filtering error variance on the number of training epochs of the neural network. The obtained results demonstrate that the developed neural network filter can be effectively applied for noise suppression on satellite images.
Surface elevation changes of the Patagonian Icefields: Insights from an ICESat(-2) crossover analysis
Authors: Suad Corbetta Federico , Richter Andreas , Marderwald Eric
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The Patagonian Icefields, located in southernmost South America, are the biggest extrapolar concentration of ice in the southern hemisphere. As such, they are of strategic and environmental importance, which will increase even more as freshwater reserves become scarcer around the world. This encourages a detailed study of the conditions and temporal evolution of the icefields, determining with high precision the area, volume and mass changes of the glaciers that compose the icefields. However, glaciological in-situ measurements are unable to provide results representative for the entire region, because of the difficult access to the icefields, harsh physical conditions, and the large spatio-temporal variability among the Patagonian glaciers. While all regional scale studies of the Patagonian Icefields find a significant mass loss, different methods arrive at different rates. This calls for the inclusion of additional, independent observation techniques, and laser satellite altimetry is a prime candidate for it. Satellite altimetry, traditionally employed for sea-level monitoring, determines accurate surface elevations along the ground track of the satellite's repeat-orbit. Therefore, most altimetry missions do not provide a continuous areal coverage, impeding the separation between spatial and temporal elevation changes. Crossover analysis isolates temporal variations in the intersections of tracks observed at different epochs. In this work, ICESat and ICESat-2 data is used, and a crossover analysis is performed, in order to determine seasonal and long-term elevation changes of the ice surface of the Patagonian Icefields. The results are presented and discussed, along with an explanation of the applied methods.
Healthcare Workers’ Perceptions of Patient Safety Culture in United States Hospitals: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Chilukuri Ganesh , Westerman S. Thomas
Published: December 2024

Background: Despite leading in healthcare spending, the United States sees only marginal improvements in patient outcomes among developed nations. Assessing patient safety culture (PSC) through the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) provides insights into overall patient safety and attitudes toward medical errors. This study aims to examine PSC in U.S. hospitals across professional categories via a systematic review and meta-analysis of published literature.
Methods: Embase, PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, Scopus, and AHRQ’s Bibliography were consulted for identifying studies. A total of 31 articles met the eligibility criteria for inclusion, which garnered 608,443 survey participants in a national population of hospital healthcare professionals. For each professional category of PSC, a fixed and random-effects meta-analysis was performed, and a subgroup analysis was also conducted to measure differences in perceptions of PSC based on type of healthcare professional.
Results: The HSOPSC composite average across all the studies was 61.3% positive responsiveness, indicating a need for improvement in patient safety. “Teamwork within units” had the highest positive PSC perception while “nonpunitive response to error” and “handoffs and transitions” scored the lowest. Furthermore, healthcare trainees and physicians seemed to have overall worse perceptions of patient safety culture compared to other professional subgroups, indicating the potential impacts of inexperience and a culpability culture on patient safety and medical error in hospitals.
Discussion: To strengthen weak aspects of patient safety culture, hospitals should implement interventions such as teamwork training and error-reporting systems, thereby enhancing patient safety measures and reducing medical errors.
Which Students Thrive in Flipped Classrooms? An Examination of Students’ Performance in an Online Flipped Course
Authors: Satparam Julius R.
Published: December 2024

Educational disruptions are leading to a shift in flipped classroom delivery, transitioning from a blend of asynchronous and face-to-face instruction to combining asynchronous and synchronous activities in a fully online setup. This study examines the effects of an online flipped course on student clusters with varying prior cognitive outcomes. A college mathematics course is flipped online for a semester. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining quantitative tests and surveys to assess student performance and perceptions, respectively, with qualitative interviews to explore the experiences of students. Test results show that students in the ‘average’ and ‘low’ clusters benefit most. These groups also report higher engagement, effectiveness, and enjoyment. The findings support the potential of flipped learning to advance equity and ensure learning continuity during disruptions. However, the design, sample, context, and exploratory nature of this study present certain limitations. Therefore, interpreting the results with caution is advised.
Usos políticos de la teología estoica: un comentario a Med. VI, 44
Authors: Martínez Fernández Iker
Published: December 2024

El debate sobre si procede establecer un paralelismo entre las Meditaciones y la actividad jurídica y política de su autor ha llevado a la historiografía a plantear diversas hipótesis en cuanto a la adscripción filosófica de Marco Aurelio. Teniendo en cuenta estos trabajos previos, nos preguntamos cómo abordar el pasaje Med. VI, 44, en el que Marco Aurelio se pregunta por la providencia divina. El tema parece retomar un debate propio de la filosofía helenística con un vocabulario y un planteamiento típicamente estoicos, pero su finalidad ya no es meramente teológica ni su posicionamiento sigue la ortodoxia de esta escuela. La inspiración estoica le permite defender la exigencia del culto a los dioses mediante ritos institucionalizados, aunque filosóficamente no pueda concluirse con certeza la existencia de la divinidad.  Para alcanzar este objetivo reproduce la posición del Cota ciceroniano, quien, en De natura deorum, representa la posición del pontífice que debe proteger los ritos religiosos y el filósofo que busca una fundamentación teórica que facilite su defensa. De esta manera, Marco Aurelio, como antes Cicerón, politiza al servicio de Roma un debate que, en un primer momento, se hallaba circunscrito a la teología.
El sujeto excéntrico: Bataille y Kierkegaard
Authors: Parcero Oubiña Oscar
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo se propone explorar la afinidad de Kierkegaard y Bataille en relación a un aspecto en particular de sus respectivas obras como es la cuestión del sujeto. En primer lugar, veremos la concepción de Bataille, para lo cual nos valdremos de la noción de soberanía. Argumentaremos que, en su crítica a una concepción metafísica o idealista de la subjetividad, Bataille conduce la pregunta por el sujeto a un reconocimiento de la diferencia. En segundo lugar, veremos cómo también en Kierkegaard la pregunta por el sujeto se resuelve en un análogo reconocimiento de la diferencia, en su caso por medio de la reivindicación de la singularidad del individuo. A continuación, sintetizaremos esta concepción coincidente del sujeto valiéndonos para ello de la imagen de lo excéntrico. Por último, confrontaremos esta concepción con algunos ejemplos de las así denominadas filosofías de la diferencia, para de estemodo defender que en Bataille y en Kierkegaard, ante la pregunta por el sujeto, no hay un intento por pensar la diferencia, sino más bien el reconocimiento de un límite en y para el discurso que tiene lugar en virtud del encuentro del sujeto consigo mismo.

Os Cadernos de Direito Pátrio de João Baptista de Ataíde Mascarenhas Cordovil
Authors: Graes Isabel
Published: December 2024

Onze anos volvidos após a introdução da reforma setecentista do ensino jurídico em Portugal, entre os alunos quintanistas do curso de Cânones, encontra-se João Baptista de Ataíde Mascarenhas Cordovil, frei da Ordem Terceira de São Francisco e futuro inquisidor do Reino. Com um percurso estudantil irrepreensível, a importância que lhe votamos e que aqui realçamos reside num conjunto de dois manuscritos, que lhe são atribuídos e cuja custódia pertence, respectivamente, ao Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo e à Biblioteca Pública de Évora. Segundo um registo cuidado, ali são perpetuadas diversas explicações relativas ao objecto e metodologia adoptados na nova disciplina de Direito Pátrio, aspecto que não deve ser desconsiderado, se recordarmos que a feitura dos compêndios exigidos pelos Novos Estatutos ainda não havia sido concluída. Dada a impossibilidade de apreciar a totalidade das temáticas apresentadas, depois de efectuada uma breve apreciação comparativa dos dois manuscritos, é dada especial atenção às regras da interpretação da lei, temática com a qual se encerra o presente estudo e que, sem ser nova, foi exaustivamente tratada pelo legislador das Luzes, em total conformidade com as linhas do pensamento jurídico e político vigente.
Más allá del armario: La representación de mujeres lesbianas en la literatura infantil y juvenil de España
Authors: Quesada Padrón María Cristina
Published: December 2024

La visibilidad de diversas realidades, incluyendo aquellas del colectivo LGTBIQ+ y específicamente en la literatura dirigida a un público infantil y adolescente, ha sido una demanda constante durante décadas y que resulta importante no solo con el propósito de fomentar el respeto entre las personas más jóvenes, sino también con el fin de que el público infantil pueda verse representado en las historias que leen.
Para llevar a cabo esta investigación, comenzamos destacando distintas figuras literarias emblemáticas consideradas símbolos del amor homosexual entre mujeres, para continuar analizando la presencia de estas relaciones en la literatura infantil y juvenil. Para ello, resulta esencial comenzar abordando la visibilidad lésbica en la literatura española no infantil, así como la censura, a la que es inevitable hacer mención cuando hablamos de un colectivo de personas históricamente oprimidas y castigadas.
Este trabajo se construye como una extensión de otros trabajos realizados con anterioridad, como el publicado por Cedeira y Cencerrado (2006) a principios de los 2000. Esta aportación se centra en las características de los libros publicados en la actualidad con dicha representación, prestando atención no solo a las principales tendencias vigentes, como la representación de la diversidad familiar, sino también explorando la visibilidad del amor homosexual, tanto en la infancia como en la vida adulta. Este estudio concluye con una lista de libros infantiles y juveniles con representación de relaciones amorosas entre mujeres publicados en España.

Published: December 2024

Aims: American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) is a chronic infectious disease that is endemic in Latin America. It is a public health problem in Brazil. The control of ATL has become even more challenging in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. In light of this, this study aims to quantify the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on American tegumentary leishmaniasis records in an area of northeastern Brazil. Methods: This is an ecological study that includes the notifications of all confirmed cases of ATL registered in the state of Pernambuco, reported in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) from 2015 to 2022. The period 2015-2019 was used to calculate the expected value for the pandemic years (2020-2022). The expected values were compared with the observed values. Results: In the three years studied, 883 ATL diagnoses were expected in the state (294 records/year). However, 646 cases were reported, indicating an underreporting of at least 237 individuals (26.82% reduction). The impact observed in 2022 was the largest of the years evaluated: 111 individuals were no longer diagnosed (a 37.8% reduction). Conclusions: The Covid-19 pandemic had an impact on the control of ATL in Pernambuco. Actions are needed to reduce the underdiagnosis of the disease caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

This study explores the intricate relationship between maladaptive daydreaming (MD) and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). MD, characterized by immersive daydreaming that may disrupt daily functioning, has garnered attention as a potential coping mechanism for trauma. ACEs encompass a range of traumatic experiences, such as abuse, neglect, and family dysfunction, which have been associated with various mental health challenges. Using the MD Scale (MDS-16) and the ACEs scale, data were collected from a sample of N = 386 individuals. Significant positive correlations were found between MD and specific ACEs, including verbal abuse, mental illness or suicide, sexual abuse, and physical neglect. Regression analyses revealed that individuals with higher levels of ACEs were more likely to engage in MD. The relationship between ACEs and MD may involve MD serving as a psychological escape or coping strategy for the emotional and psychological impacts of trauma. Conversely, separation or divorce was found to have a negative association with MD scores, suggesting that different types of ACEs may affect MD tendencies differently. These findings highlight the importance of addressing childhood trauma in interventions targeting MD behaviors. Future research should delve deeper into the specific types of ACEs and their differential impacts on MD to better inform targeted interventions. This study highlights the critical role of childhood experiences in shaping MD behaviors and emphasizes the need for trauma-informed approaches in clinical practice.

The geochemical features of manganese mineralization near Pripek village, Varna district, are studied. The manganese mineralization was observed as irregular levels of manganese oxides, manganese-rich layers, manganese-rich clasts or nodules where MnO reaches up to 45 wt%. Elevated contents of the trace elements Ni, Cu, Sr, Zr, Mo, Ba, and U are also measured. Their REE patterns show differences compering to both the Mn mineralization in the Obrochishte deposit and Mn nodules among acidic volcanoclastic rocks in the Eastern Rhodopes, and cannot clearly indicate the source of manganese. Our study shows that the Pripek manganese deposit has а good potential for prospecting and possible mining for critical elements.
Critical and strategic raw materials in Bulgaria: an outline of the new National Scientific Program
Authors: Georgiev Svetoslav V.
Published: December 2024

The political course towards energy production dominated by renewable sources requires massive amounts of rare raw materials. The current supply, production and refining of many of these commodities is: 1) insufficient to meet global demands, which creates economic incentives for mining; and 2) dominated by few countries, which creates global supply risks. Faced with these challenges and opportunities, most of the world is racing to catch up on the systematically neglected exploration, mining, processing, and recycling of critical and strategic raw materials. Upon initiative of the broad geologic scientific community, the Bulgarian government has launched a new 5-year National Scientific Program: “Critical and strategic raw materials for green transition and sustainable development”. Here we present the overall structure of the Program, its main goals, and the planned scientific activities.

A descriptive study was carried out on Identification of the contributing factors related to micro-vascular complications among patients with diabetes mellitus in selected hospitals, Kolkata, West Bengal.
Risk factors for the development of complication of diabetes of Sandra A. Black’s model (2002) were adopted as a conceptual framework. Among 100 diabetic patients were selected by non-probability convenient sampling technique from diabetic clinic Infectious Diseases & Beleghata General Hospital (I.D. & B.G. Hospital).
Semi structured interview schedule and Record analysis was used for data collection. The study findings based on descriptive and inferential statistical revealed that 62% falls in only diabetic group and the remaining 38% in the diabetic with micro vascular complication group where only retinopathy 18%, only nephropathy 11%, retinopathy and nephropathy both 9%. Chi square findings revealed that there were significant associations between the microvascular complications of diabetic patients and work habits (4.44) at df (1)/<0.05 level.
Chi square findings also revealed that there were significant associations between the microvascular complications of diabetic patients and alcohol habits (4.40) at df (1)/<0.05 level. Recommendations for future studies are large sample size, to assess the prevalence of microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus patient, in different community settings.

Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, contributing factors related to micro-vascular complications.
