Automatic construction of fractal structures with locally controlled lacunarity
Authors: Bordeaux Boris ,   LIB, Université de Bourgogne, Gentil Christian
Published: July 2024

Lacunar fractal structures reduce the material quantity and weight while improving some physics properties, such as heat transfers, and preserving good mechanical properties. Nowadays, it is possible to construct such shapes thanks to additive manufacturing. This paper focuses on automatically generating subdivision rules for fractal lacunar structures with local topology control. The first main difficulty is guaranteeing topological consistency while assembling different cells to build a complicated multi-lacuna structure. The second is the adaptation of such shapes to geometric constraints like imposed boundaries. We address these questions throughout the formalism of the Boundary Controlled Iterated Function System. Then, we analyze the lacunarity and complexity of these structures from various geometric, topologic, and fractal measures.

The automation of games using Deep Reinforcement Learning Strategies (DRL) is a well-known challenge in AI research. While for feature extraction in a video game typically the whole image is used, this is hardly practical for many real world games. Instead, using a smaller game state reducing the dimension of the parameter space to include essential parameters only seems to be a promising approach. In the game of Foosball, a compact and comprehensive game state description consists of the positional shifts and rotations of the figures and the position of the ball over time. In particular, velocities and accelerations can be derived from consecutive time samples of the game state. In this paper, a figure detection system to determine the game state in Foosball is presented. We capture a dataset containing the rotations of the rods which were measured using accelerometers and the positional shifts were derived using traditional Computer Vision techniques (in a laboratory setting). This dataset is utilized to train Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based end-to-end regression models to predict the rotations and shifts of each rod. We present an evaluation of our system using different state-of-the-art CNNs as base architectures for the regression model. We show that our system is able to predict the game state with high accuracy. By providing data for both black and white teams, the presented system is intended to provide the required data for future developments of Imitation Learning techniques w.r.t. to observing human players.
La altura y el rango de F0 como parámetros identificativos de la orientación sexual de hombres madrileños hispanohablantes
Authors: Pérez-Bernabeu Aarón
Published: July 2024

La orientación sexual es un factor social que, como otros, influye en la realización fonética de cada individuo. Sin embargo, la sociolingüística española —frente a la estadounidense— ha centrado sus investigaciones muy poco en este factor. Este artículo trata de aportar contenido a esta escasez teórica, comenzando por el análisis acústico de la distinción de altura y rango tonal entre hombres homosexuales y heterosexuales hispanohablantes centropeninsulares; y, seguidamente, en la posible percepción de la orientación sexual por parte de jueces hispanohablantes de la misma variedad que los informantes. Con los resultados de estos análisis se buscará no solo el aporte teórico a la sociolingüística (o a la sociofonética), sino también su aplicación a problemas actuales de la Fonética Judicial, incluyendo, en ambos casos, una nueva variable que no se ha tenido en cuenta en los análisis hasta ahora.

Published: July 2024

Atomic interaction between mediator protein of human prostate cancer (PHPC) and Fe/C720 Buckyballs-Statin is important for medical science. For the first time, we use molecular dynamics (MD) approach based on Newton’s formalism to describe the destruction of PHPC via Fe/C720 Buckyballs-Statin with atomic accuracy. In this work, the atomic interaction of PHPC and Fe/C720 Buckyballs-Statin introduced via equilibrium molecular dynamics approach. In this method, each PHPC and Fe/C720 Buckyballs-Statin is defined by C, H, Cl, N, O, P, S, and Fe elements and contrived by universal force field (UFF) and DREIDING force-field to introduce their time evolution. The results of our studies regarding the dynamical behavior of these atom-base compounds have been reported by calculating the Potential energy, center of mass (COM) position, diffusion ratio and volume of defined systems. The estimated values for these quantities show the attraction force between Buckyball-based structure and protein sample, which COM distance of these samples changes from 10.27 Å to 2.96 Å after 10 ns. Physically, these interactions causing the destruction of the PHPC. Numerically, the volume of this biostructure enlarged from 665,276 Å3 to 737,143 Å3 by MD time passing. This finding reported for the first time which can be considered by the pharmaceutical industry. Simulations indicated the volume of the PHPC increases by Fe/C720 Buckyballs-Statin diffusion into this compound. By enlarging this quantity (diffusion coefficient), the atomic stability of PHPC decreases and protein destruction procedure fulfilled.

Published: July 2024

The issue of academic achievement among Chinese university students is emerging due to difficulties in finding employment. This study investigates the structural relationships between social support, goal orientation, and academic achievement with the aim of enhancing students’ academic performance and facilitating sustained employability. Data were collected from 202 college students in South China, revealing that students’ levels of social support, goal orientation, and academic achievement were all moderate. Lower-grade students, in comparison to higher-grade students, exhibited lower levels of social support, goal orientation, and academic achievement. Additionally, students from lower economic backgrounds tended to lack social support. Among the factors of social support, goal orientation, and academic achievement, there were positive correlations among these three variables. Social support significantly and positively influenced goal orientation and academic achievement. Specifically, the sub-factors of social support, school support, and teacher support had differential effects, with school support enhancing academic achievement and teacher support boosting goal orientation. Goal orientation also significantly and positively impacted students’ academic achievement, with the sub-factor of mastery goals having a stronger influence. Goal orientation partially mediated the relationship between social support and academic achievement. This study discusses limitations and provides insights for future research.

Czasopismo, zgodnie z najnowszymi trendami, postulowało, by wychowanie opierać na znajomości psychiki dziecka, a więc wymagało od rodziców elementarnej wiedzy na ten temat, a od instytucji szkolnych znacznej demokratyzacji. Kształtowanie charakteru młodych pokoleń Polaków publicyści czasopisma „Bluszcz” widzieli jako zadanie dla całego społeczeństwa i element patriotycznego zaangażowania w budowanie przyszłości narodu. Artykuł ma charakter przeglądowy, jego celem było ukazanie zagadnień z zakresu pedagogiki podejmowanych na łamach czasopisma „Bluszcz” w latach 1905–1918. Odnotowano poruszane przez publicystów treści dotyczące rozwoju dziecka, problematyki edukacyjnej, edukacji dziewcząt i kobiet oraz wizerunku nauczyciela/ pedagoga. W tekście wykazano, że na łamach czasopisma często relacjonowano dyskusje na temat kształtowania systemu wartości dzieci i młodzieży, poruszano zagadnienia dotyczące zdrowia i higieny, treści z zakresu pedagogiki spe-cjalnej oraz komentowano najnowsze trendy dotyczące wychowania dzieci i młodzieży. Artykuł prezentuje zagad-nienia edukacji zawodowej i emancypacji przygotowującej kobiety do wymuszonej przez modernizm zmiany roli, jaką miały odegrać w nowoczesności. Założonym przez autorkę celem było wskazanie, jak na łamach „Bluszczu” starano się przekonać czytelniczki, że celem wychowania jest przygotowanie młodego człowieka do samodzielnego życia, do spełniania pożytecznej roli zarówno w społeczeństwie, jak i do samospełnienia, odkrywania swoich talentów, rozwijania pasji i zainteresowań. Poruszane na łamach „Bluszczu” zagadnienia dotyczyły szeroko rozu-mianych problemów dostępu do edukacji, organizacji szkolnictwa, udziału rodziców w wychowaniu i nauczaniu dzieci, ale także organizacji czasu wolnego najmłodszych, ich edukacji zdrowotnej czy higieny. Przegląd tej tematyki ukazany w artykule może być wskazówką pozwalającą na wykorzystanie tego źródła prasowego.

Trust in news media: the naïve perception of the causes is dominated by the…
Authors: Vaišnys Andrius
Published: July 2024

In the last twenty years trust in traditional news media has been declining all over the world, but there are few countries where the fall has been as dramatic as in Lithuania. While in the early 2000s the Lithuanian legacy media top-ranked any public trust survey, today their reputation as a reliable source of news could hardly be worse. Researchers from a number of EU countries have studied this process in general, yet none of their explanations seems to fit the Lithuanian realities. In Lithuania the trust deficit may be the result of changes, especially in the news production format, from a fairly orderly, 'objective' narratives to a fast-paced hodgepodge of scenes and multiple voices, i.e. a format which prioritizes immediacy and sensationalism (especially in 24-hour news channels). It is this shift that may have precipitated the collapse in trust in news media, and yet it has never been properly investigated. To get a better understanding of the problem, we examined the views of the general public collected in a recent survey and matched them with the views sampled from a series of structured interviews with the publishers, editors and journalists of local weekly newspapers. The latter were keenly aware of their reduced authority, the fragmenta-tion of the field, and the precarious, chaotic conditions under which they had to work. They saw the root cause of their woes in the new strategic model adopted throughout the news media and inadequate government funding of the news industry.

Introduction. Alcohol poisoning as a global medical problem requires detailed study to find new modern approaches to providing care to patients of this profile. Alcohol remains one of the leading causes of death among the working population of our country. This article examines the medical and statistical characteristics of patients with ethanol poisoning admitted to the St. Petersburg I. I. Dzhanelidze research institute of emergency care for the period 2018–2022. Purpose of the study: To identify the main medical and statistical characteristics of patients diagnosed with «Toxic effects of ethanol» admitted to the St. Petersburg I.I. Dzhanelidze research institute of emergency care from 2018 to 2022. Materials and methods. During the study, we analyzed data from 40,651 patients hospitalized at the St. Petersburg I.I. Dzhanelidze research institute of emergency care (city toxicology center) with a diagnosis of «Acute ethanol poisoning» in 2018–2022. Results and discussion. The annual count of patients was 8130.2±5751.3 people. There was a significant decrease in patients (by 77.6%, 10,257 people, p<0.05). The age range of the patients was from 18 to 90 (42.3±11.8) years. In 2022, the average age of patients is 42.1±8.8 years, mode — 36 years, median — 41 years. When assessing age indicators, it was found that the majority of hospitalized patients (30.7%) were aged from 31 to 40 years, p<0.05. The smallest number (1.8%) were of older patients (70 years or more), p<0.05. The gender distribution of patients is characterized by a 4.8-fold predominance of men (82.9%) compared to women (17.1%). There was no significant difference in the gender distribution of patients by year, p>0.05. Conclusions. A significant decrease in the number of admissions during this period — 4.5 times (77.6%) due to the redistribution of patients between city hospitals, the approval of new routing schemes in order to improve medical care for patients, and optimize the work of emergency hospitals. The average age of the patients was 42.1±8.8 years, with no significant differences in age-related quantitative indicators by year. The gender distribution is characterized by a 4.8-fold predominance of men (82.9%) compared to women (17.1%), without a significant difference in the gender distribution of patients by year.

In Moscow, there are possibilities for evacuating victims by ambulance and ambulance helicopter, while pre-hospital diagnosis of bleeding resulting from trauma is important for the victim. The purpose of the study was to analyze the results of sanitary aviation evacuation in a metropolis of victims with trauma (isolated, multiple, combined or combined), including internal bleeding, the causes of which were the influence of external factors. The objective of the study was to assess the speed of hospitalization of emergency victims with the help of ambulance helicopters, as well as the results of their treatment, with the identification of possible places where the time of the start of the operation was delayed from the moment of injury. Materials and methods. Our study included patients (52 people) hospitalized with the help of AMB in specialized medical institutions in Moscow from 2019 to 2023, with diagnoses of trauma to various organs, bleeding (ICD-10 classes of trauma, poisoning and some other consequences of external causes (S00-T98)). Results. The time for evacuation of emergency victims to a multidisciplinary hospital using ambulance helicopters in Moscow ranged from 56.3 to 155.4 minutes, depending on the distance to the multidisciplinary hospital. When compared, the time of hospitalization of patients in hospitals by ambulance, at similar distances, ranged from 82.3 to 137.5 minutes when the victims were located up to 90 km from a multidisciplinary hospital. At distances of more than 90 km, ambulances did not go for hospitalization to multidisciplinary hospitals in Moscow, and there is currently practically no alternative to an ambulance helicopter in emergencies. Conclusion. In the article, we analyzed the results of treatment of victims of external factors, evacuated by a medical helicopter, with isolated, multiple, associated and combined trauma, including signs of intra-abdominal or intrathoracic bleeding. The number of evacuations of victims by ambulance helicopter in case of such damage in a metropolis per year was determined. The reasons that prevent the victim from getting to the operating table were identified and the results of treatment of these patients in hospitals were assessed. Creating a clear evacuation algorithm if the victim has hemoperitoneum or hemothorax will allow timely initiation of measures to finally stop bleeding and improve treatment results.

Purpose: develop target indicators for modernizing the work of hospital departments admitting patients for emergency medical reasons. Tasks: analyze the reasons behind the need to modernize the work of hospital departments admitting patients for emergency medical reasons; study the experience of creating and operating inpatient emergency departments in the Russian Federation; justify the need for state support for modernizing the work of hospital departments admitting patients for emergency medical reasons, and target performance indicators for its implementation. Materials and methods: to conduct the study, statistical methods were used in order to study the work of the emergency medical service, materials from the analysis of regulatory legal acts regulating the provision of emergency medical care in inpatient conditions, and state programs of the Russian Federation for the development of emergency medical care. Results: in the Russian Federation, the increase in the number of patients admitted to hospitals for emergency medical reasons necessitates the modernization of these hospitals. This modernization should be carried out in the direction of creating inpatient emergency departments in large multidisciplinary hospitals and in the direction of organizing the provision of emergency medical care in inpatient conditions in smaller hospitals. Objective reasons were identified why the reorganization of hospital admissions departments with the creation of inpatient emergency departments on their basis was carried out only in certain constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and not in the majority of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. To modernize the work of hospital units that admit patients for emergency medical reasons, government support is needed to finance the construction (reconstruction) and equipment of such units. In order to assess the effectiveness of this modernization, it is advisable to use the developed target indicators. Conclusion: modernization of the work of hospital departments admitting patients for emergency medical reasons, and the developed target indicators for its assessment, will improve the availability and quality of emergency medical care in inpatient conditions.

Published: July 2024

Background.There are few data on the relationship of biometric parameters, refraction and intraocular pressure with the level of blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus in the subcompensation phase. Purpose. To evaluate the results of functional methods for studying the organ of vision in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus, depending on the level of HbA1c. Results.In patients with type 1 diabetes, in 69.6 % of cases there were manifestations of dysfunction of the meibomian glands (MG) of varying severity, manifestations of hyperemia (17–39.8 %) and mild conjunctival edema (28 %), reduced tear film rupture and decreased meniscus level. The Schirmer test showed a decrease in tear secretion. A correlation was found between the level of HbA1c and the value of intraocular pressure. There was a decrease in the thickness of the retina in the central zone, depending on the duration of diabetes. Conclusion.The results of the studies showed that the indicators of ultrasound and OCT in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus depend on the level of HbA1c and the duration of the underlying disease. Among patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, refractive errors were more common (76 %) than in children of the control group (38.5 %).

Published: July 2024

Background. Microbiome members of the conjunctival cavity often act as pathogens of endophthalmitis in cataract surgery. The problem of resistance to several antimicrobial agents limits the possibility of choosing an effective agent and requires a detailed study by monitoring the spectrum and sensitivity of the ocular surface microbiome. Purpose. To evaluate the spectrum of ocular surface microflora and its sensitivity to antimicrobial agents and bacteriophages in patients before cataract phacoemulsification. Material and methods. The material from the conjunctival cavity, ciliary eyelid margin, lacrimal ducts was taken from 60 patients (60 eyes) before the operation for microbiologic examination. Results.Among the isolated microorganisms Staphylococcus epidermidis predominated in all loci (48.4 %). Almost all antiseptics showed high antimicrobial activity. The lowest proportion of resistant microorganisms to antimicrobials used in ophthalmology was observed to tobramycin and gentamicin (3.4 %). All cultures of staphylococci were sensitive to “Staphylophage” No. 2. The highest number of resistant microorganisms was recorded to ciprofloxacin (16.7 %), levofloxacin (16.1 %), moxifloxacin (16.1 %), as well as to ceftazidime (16.1 %) and azithromycin (15.4 %). Conclusion.The antimicrobial activity of the investigated drugs differed against different bacterial species. The sensitivity of microflora changes over time, so it is advisable to periodically monitor and adjust antimicrobial prophylaxis regimens based on the results obtained.

This paper presents a clinical observation employing surgical techniques aimed at preserving the integrity of the fibrosed capsular bag in a hyperopic eye during explantation of dislocated intraocular lens (IOL) and its fragments through a corneoscleral tunnel incision, accompanied by simultaneous with reimplantation and flanged loop transscleral monofixation to prevent recurrence of dislocation of the IOL-capsular bag complex (IOL-CBC). A case of grade 2 dislocation of the intraocular lens (IOL) along with fibrosed capsular bag is presented. Reimplantation with flanged loop transscleral monofixation of IOL resulted in improved visual function achieved due to stable centric positioning of the intraocular lens. The presented flanged loop transscleral monofixation ensures stable positioning of the IOL while reducing the risk of recurrence. Keywords: intraocular lens – capsular bag complex (IOL-CBC); corneoscleral tunnel incision, flanged loop transscleral monofixation

Purpose. To demonstrate, through clinical examples, the effectiveness of a combined treatment for secondary glaucoma associated with an intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation, which involves replacing the IOL and carrying mTSCPC. Material and methods. A 79-year-old woman, Ts., in 2023, for the first time complained of visual impairment and increased IOP in her left eye. In 2013, cataract phacoemulsification with IOL implantation was performed on the left eye at the place of residence, in 2023 the lens was sewn to the sclera, glaucoma was detected in the same year. The man Ch., 69 years old, in 2023, reapplied with an increase in IOP in his right eye. In 2014, a non–penetrating deep sclerectomy with Healaflow drainage was performed on the right eye for pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, later in 2017, cataract phacoemulsification with IOL implantation and laser goniodescemetopuncture. In two cases IOL’s were in decentrated position, it was decided to perform a combined operation with the replacement of the IOL with a lens with pupillary fixation (RSP-3) and mTSCPC. Results.Examination one year after surgery: Patient №1: Visus 0.2 sph -1.75 = 0.6, IOP (pneumotonometry) 11 mmHg on Sol. Timololi 0,5% + Brinzolamidi 1%. Patient №2: Visus 0.6 n/a; IOP (pneumotonometry) 17 mmHg on Sol. Timololi 0,5% + Sol. Brimonidini 0,15%. Conclusion. The combined treatment of secondary glaucoma caused by IOL dislocation is effective due to the hypotensive effect of mTSCPC and the prevention of contact of dislocated IOL with uveal structures, contributing to the preservation of visual functions, normalization of ophthalmotonus and reduction of the number of instillations of antihypertensive drugs.

Актуальность: в современных условиях реализация инвестиционных проектов за счет средств бюджета является важнейшим инструментом и источником развития экономики. Цель статьи: рассмотреть государственные инвестиции и последствия их реализации в форме производных инвестиционных проектов и выявить причину необоснованно завышенной стоимости проектов и роста объемов незавершенного строительства. Результаты: причиной завышенной стоимости проектов и роста объемов незавершенного строительства признается влияние негативных факторов на доминирующую в инвестиционной сфере строительную отрасль. Показано, что в существующих условиях возникают производные инвестиционные проекты, которые препятствуют развитию промышленных отраслей с высокой добавленной стоимостью и ослабляют уровень экономической безопасности. Рекомендации: обосновывается вывод о необходимости направления мер государственной инвестиционной политики на нейтрализацию негативных факторов в строительстве, в целях укрепления экономической безопасности в отрасли и в стране. Практическая значимость: реализация рекомендаций и предложений направлений позволит направить государственную инвестиционную политику на устранение негативных факторов, обуславливающих финансовое состояние строительной отрасли.

Relevance: in modern conditions, the implementation of investment projects at the expense of the budget is the most important tool and source of economic development. The purpose of the article: to consider public investment and the consequences of their implementation in the form of derivative investment projects and to identify the cause of unreasonably overestimated cost of projects and growth in construction in progress. Results: the reason for the overestimated cost of projects and the growth of construction in progress is the influence of negative factors on the construction industry that dominates the investment sphere. It is shown that in existing conditions derivative investment projects arise that impede the development of highvalue industrial industries and weaken the level of economic security. Recommendations: the conclusion is justified on the need to direct measures of state investment policy to neutralize negative factors in construction, in order to strengthen economic security in the industry and in the country. Practical significance: the implementation of recommendations and proposals for directions will allow to direct the state investment policy to eliminate the negative factors causing the financial condition of the construction industry.
THE EVERYDAY AND RATIONAL-THEORETICAL THINKING IN EARLY GREEK PHILOSOPHY
Authors: Куликов Д.К.
Published: July 2024

В современных культурноисторических исследованиях зарождение теоретического познания в античности объясняется как результат действия сложного комплекса причин. Всесторонне изучены экономические, политические, мировоззренческие факторы этого сдвига. Вместе с тем, заметно меньше исследованы логические и дискурсивные стороны этих изменений, связанные с переосмыслением первыми философами обыденных представлений о мире и оценкой мышления, лежащего в их основе. В результате анализа фрагментов Ксенофана, Гераклита и Парменида выделены и систематизированы характеристики обыденного мышления, оценивая которые, философы обосновывали преимущество рациональнотеоретического мышления. В опоре на определение парадигм рационального мышления этих философов доказывается идея, что античная модель познания изначально выстраивалась по отношению к житейской интеллектуальной культуре.

Contemporary cultural and historical studies explain the genesis of theoretical knowledge in ancient Greece as a result of the complex bound of different causes. The economical, political, and worldview factors of this shift has been comprehensively established. What is far less investigated these are the logical and discursive aspects of the change which were connected to reassessing by early Greek philosophers the everyday representations of the world and the mode of thinking that upheld them. The research into the fragments of Xenophanes, Heraclitus, and Parmenides revealed the traits of everyday reason, which were dismissed by the philosophers in favour of a rational and theoretical thinking. The study specified paradigms of rational thought of the philosophers mentioned to prove an idea that the general model of rational knowledge in antiquity had been initially formed against an intellectual culture of everyday life.
