Authors: Ma Ying
Published: December 2023

This paper describes the dynamic propagation process of the influence of public service advertisements (PSAs) using the information dissemination model and proposes a click probability function by modeling the click rate of advertisements, which is solved by a heuristic method. The EPR advertisement recommendation algorithm is selected to simulate the push process of the advertisement, and the experimental performance is analyzed. Analyze the presentation of Shaanxi regional culture and the network mobilization mechanism model of enterprise public service advertisement, predict and analyze the click rate of public service advertisement broadcasting, and emphasize the trust analysis of the audience. Variables such as the number of effective viewing of advertisements, the number of link clicks, the number of likes, and the amount of placement are selected to carry out descriptive analysis and correlation analysis of the effect of PSAs on Shaanxi regional culture. From the correlation coefficient matrix, it can be seen that the correlation coefficients between the explanatory variables take smaller values and are at the level below 0.11, and the number of likes has significant positive correlation coefficients with the indicators of advertisement effect at each stage. Thus it can be verified that the social attributes of advertisements play a positive role in the effect of advertisements.
Applying Time Series Analysis to Study the Development Trend and Influencing Factors of Ethnic Folk Dance
Authors: Ning Fen
Published: December 2023

In this paper, firstly, we propose to use time series analysis to observe the development and change process of social events, using the DF test and ADF test to eliminate the random autocorrelation in order to exclude the interference of white noise series. Secondly, the instantaneous frequency of non-smooth data is defined by analyzing the signal, and the constraints are modified from global constraints to local constraints. The Fourier-transformed eigenmode function is used to satisfy the four necessary conditions of completeness, orthogonality, localization, and adaptability. Finally, the development trend of ethnic folk dances and the change in communication dynamics are analyzed. The results show that the change of language on the spreading attitude of folk dance is 4.381, the change of custom on the spreading attitude is 5.943, the change of culture on the spreading attitude is 10.866, and the change of culture on the spreading attitude of folk dance is the largest, which shows that the development of folk dance away from the development of folk dance is not separated from the support of culture. The study will have a positive impact on passing on the distinctive art of ethnic folk dance and enriching Chinese traditional culture and art.

Authors: Su Tingting
Published: December 2023

The current traditional means of teaching adopt the indoctrination teaching mode. Students passively accept information, learning enthusiasm is not high, and the traditional teaching mode needs to be reconstructed urgently. This paper constructs a blended teaching mode for civil litigation based on the WeChat public platform and provides the implementation process for the blended teaching mode. In order to enable students to obtain civil litigation-related resources more in line with the learning characteristics of the WeChat platform, a multi-objective learning path optimization algorithm is proposed, and the discrete binary particle swarm algorithm is used to optimize and solve the multi-objective learning path. The teaching experiment method is utilized to select the research object and method to study the teaching effect of the blended teaching mode and then obtain the students’ satisfaction with the blended teaching mode. The results show that through the BPSO algorithm, after the number of iterations reaches 150 times, its fitness value is around 10-5, the average running time of the 20 test functions is around 500ms, and the mean value of students’ satisfaction with the blended teaching mode is 9.31 points. The blended teaching mode of civil litigation in the context of the rule of law can help students better establish the thinking of the rule of law and promote the improvement of students’ learning ability, and multi-objective optimization can help students better obtain the optimal learning path.

Authors: Tang Pei , Zhang Mengxiao
Published: December 2023

In this paper, we first establish a locally converged bioinformatics dataset based on gradient sampling and design an optimal data mining control model to improve the accuracy of bioinformatics big data feature mining. The performance of the Compressive Tracking algorithm and Online Bosting algorithm is compared with the mining error as a test index. At the same time, we propose a social media information dissemination algorithm applicable to large-scale social network datasets, taking the degree value of each node as the node’s full influence and comparing and analyzing the dissemination influence of BP-IM, RAND and MC-CELF algorithms. Finally, taking public health big data as the research object, the least squares regression method was used to analyze the influence of the amount of public attention to bioinformatics scientific knowledge on their scientific literacy in different media. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between scientific literacy and willingness to engage in science participation behavior on social media when the amount of public attention to scientific information was β =0225, p <0.01. When more people are interested in scientific knowledge of bioinformatics on social media, their scientific literacy will improve.

Authors: Qian Zhi
Published: December 2023

In this paper, according to the TOF method in the principle of Kinect V2.0 depth measurement, the Kinect data stream can be obtained, which can realize the real-time acquisition of the user’s yoga movement data. On the basis of the extraction of joint motion features, the position of each joint point in the model under the model coordinate system is calculated sequentially using the action redirection algorithm. For the intermittent problem of keyframes in the yoga action screen of the joints, it is necessary to optimize the analysis of yoga action recognition through the action keyframe interpolation method. Starting from the demand for sports yoga teaching, we determine the design scheme of a computer-aided yoga teaching system, realize the design of a computer-aided yoga teaching system based on the system development platform and programming program, and test the performance of the computer-aided yoga teaching system by using simulation analysis. The results show that the yoga movement redirection algorithm, when matching the data information of the same movement, the distance value is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude smaller compared to the matching distance between different yoga movement sequences, and the use of the joint angle value can find out the joints where the trainer’s movement is not up to the standard, and the yoga trainer can reasonably adjust the movement based on the similarity and the joint angle value given by the system to achieve the purpose of yoga training.

Authors: Cao Xiaopan , Dong Xueting , Li Chuang , Zhang Baoliang , Liu Fan
Published: December 2023

The intelligent customer service dialog model is centered on human-machine dialog, which has good prospects for commercial applications in multiple domains. In this paper, we use the Siamese-LSTM model to do vectorization of questions in the FAQ question and answer database to get the semantic representation vector of sentences, and then use the approximate retrieval algorithm to index the question and answer database and perform approximate nearest-neighbor retrieval of the query. After completing the question query, migration learning is employed to create a mapping between input questions and human responses, enabling the model to produce sentences that are similar to human responses. Tests show that the task success rate gradually stabilizes around 0.80 at about the 100th round and fluctuates up to around 0.986 after that. For the average number of conversation rounds, migration learning improves the conversation efficiency of intelligent customer service, and the average number of conversation rounds gradually stabilizes at about 150 rounds and eventually stabilizes at about 4.2 rounds as the number of training rounds increases. The transfer learning strategy helps machine responses to be as close to human responses as possible.

Authors: Schegner Philipp , Vorhof Michael , Weise Daniel , Sennewald Cornelia , Pilgrim Jasmin , Hoffmann Gerald , Cherif Chokri
Published: December 2023

Direct preforming processes have potential for fiber-reinforced semi-finished products, creating 3D structures with strong delamination resistance using double-flat-steel-healds. However, the shedding method limits pattern variety, necessitating alternative options for interlacing diversity. One approach is using weft yarn instead of warp yarn for interlacing. This study explores its impact on mechanical properties, focusing on bending behavior, fiber volume content, and micrograph analysis of infiltrated warp and weft interlaced structures. The result shows interesting differences in mechanical behavior regarding different weave types and test direction as well as communalities within the individual structures.
Informalization of the formal sector: Evidence from India's manufacturing industries
Authors: Kapoor Radhicka , Krishnapriya P. P.
Published: December 2023

The employment structure of India's formal manufacturing sector has undergone substantial changes since the early 2000s with a steep rise in the use of contract workers in place of directly hired workers. Much of the existing literature has attributed the widespread use of contract labour to India's rigid employment protection legislation. The resulting informalisation of the workforce in the organised sector raises concerns about the sustainability of employment growth. Using a 14-year plant-level panel data from the Annual Survey of Industries, we find that in addition to labour market rigidities and the existence of a wage differential between contract and directly hired workers, plants in the organised manufacturing sector have another important incentive to hire contract workers. Plants appear to be using contract workers to their strategic advantage against the directly hired workers to keep their bargaining power and wage demand in check. Importantly, the strength of this bargaining channel varies across plants depending on their capital intensity of production, size and existing contract worker intensity.

Published: December 2023

This study examined the attitudes of individuals seeking scholarships to study abroad, exploring whether their views on languages and language policy models vary based on gender, study programs, and countries. An online survey was administered to approximately 130 Hungarian government scholarship applicants from diverse nations. Statistical methods were employed to analyze responses, revealing variations and correlations between demographic and attitudinal variables. Participants expressed preferences for multilingual and monolingual language policies, aligning with their attitudes. The findings indicate that most participants pursued language learning with instrumental motivation, aiming to achieve educational and career objectives. Most participants expressed a desire for a multilingual language policy model in their home countries. While many embraced the proposal to adopt English as the medium of instruction, others maintained a critical perspective, acknowledging both the positive and negative impacts of English and multilingualism. Additionally, participants underscored the significance of preserving native languages in their respective countries.
The Nomenclature of Traditional Ornaments in Latvian and Lithuanian
Authors: Anča Sindija
Published: December 2023

The traditional ornaments, characteristic for the Latvian and Lithuanian ethnographic regions, are an essential part of traditional Baltic culture. Since the 19th century researchers have studied their technical aspects and semiotics (Brastiņš, 1923; Dzērvīts, 1925; Celms 2007) but little attention has been paid to empirical terminology. The name is an integral part of the sign, it often carries semantic information helping to reveal its usage and significance. In Latvia, the names of traditional signs have been influenced by the work of Brastiņš and dievturi (“Keepers of Dievs”) who attributed the names of Baltic mythological deities to ornaments linking them to the manifestations of the deity mentioned in the denominations. While these denominations are very popular in Latvia, in Lithuania very similar ornaments are called and interpreted differently. This research focuses on collecting and analysing Baltic ornament nomenclature published in Latvia and Lithuania in the first half of the 20th century. It compares the ornament naming traditions in both countries and highlights the main parallels and differences. It also reviews previous research of ornament in Latvia and Lithuania where significant differences can be seen – while semiotic research dominates in Latvia, in Lithuania more attention has been paid to the nomenclature, although in both countries the nomenclature has often been viewed separately from the visual form, making the research of ornament evolution and typology difficult. It has been found that the spectrum of ornament nomenclature at the beginning of the 20th century in Latvia was more diverse than it is now; that it is common for Latvians and Lithuanians to view ornament as a pattern rather than separate graphic elements and that geometric, plant, animal, artefact and celestial body denominations dominate the nomenclature of both languages. Symbols appearing in Baltic culture are also present in ornament nomenclature.

Authors: Dos Santos Rejane de Almeida Santana , Pessoa Robson Wilson Silva , Pinheiro Sandra Maria Conceição , Sánchez Antonio Santos , Queiroz Luciano Matos , Oliveira-Esquerre Karla Patrícia Santos , Kiperstok Asher
Published: December 2023

Objective: To investigate the relationship between qualitative structural, behavioral and operational variables (continuous, discrete and binary) and water consumption in school environments.
 
Theoretical framework: School managers lack adequate material resources and qualified information to effectively implement these practices, especially in developing countries.
 
Method: An exploratory and correlational analysis was carried out between structural, operational and behavioral variables and water consumption in 911 schools located in Bahia, Brazil. In addition, consumption was estimated using predictive models based on ARIMA.
 
Results and conclusion: The maximum consumption values ranged from 52.98 to 95.65 liters per student per day. A significant positive correlation was identified between the variables "Built-up area" and "IDEB Index" for 26 schools located in the suburbs of the city of Salvador, Bahia. ARIMA predictive models can be considered adequate as long as the variability of the data is not too great. Periodic on-site inspections, training of maintenance staff and dialog with school managers were effective in reducing water consumption
 
Research implications: The introduction of practices for the rational use of natural resources during school education is certainly an important initiative to ensure a less environmentally unsustainable society.
 
Originality/value: The study provided unprecedented information on the relationship between neglected variables such as "IDEB" and water consumption in schools. These results may help in the adoption of measures and practices that effectively promote citizen education aimed at preserving natural resources.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: This work aimed to carry out a survey of the socio-environmental condition of Ocupação Vista Alegre do Juá, in Santarém-Pará, regarding water, sewage treatment and solid waste, which collected information to prepare the community's Resilient Development Plan.
 
Method/design/approach: Data collection was carried out with the application of 300 forms, containing 42 semi-structured questions, which were applied on the 29th and 30th of August 2022. The questions asked aimed to characterize the environmental reality of the Ocupação Vista Alegre do Juá, in Santarém- Pará, in relation to the aspects of basic sanitation.
 
Results and conclusion: Of the total respondents, 58% say they do not have treated water in their homes and 51% of sewage systems in homes are inadequate (for example, black pits and open sewage). Regarding solid waste, 67% say that the presence of garbage on their streets is common, which may be related to the fact that the garbage truck only keeps its route on the main street. Furthermore, 50% of residents report suffering from natural disasters (flash floods, floodings, landslides), attributing the action of these disasters to the absence of local infrastructure. 
 
Research implications: The information presented will serve to support a resilient development plan for the location, with the aim of assisting in the gradual insertion of actions and projects, reducing the existing social disparity, promoting sustainable urban development. Actions must prioritize collective sanitation solutions in which the community itself can contribute to reducing environmental impacts and the health of the population.
 
Originality/value: This study offers scientific information as a conviction strategy about the results of the need for intersectorality between urban development, environment, habitation, sanitation and health.

Authors: El Khatib Ahmed Sameer , Savóia José Roberto Ferreira
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The aim of the present paper is to examine the revenue efficiency of the Indonesian Islamic banking sector. The study also seeks to investigate the potential internal (bank specific) and external (macroeconomic) determinants that influence the revenue efficiency of Indonesian domestic Islamic banks.
 
Method/design/approach: We employ the whole gamut of domestic and foreign Islamic banks operating in the Indonesian Islamic banking sector during the period of 2009 to 2018. The level of revenue efficiency is computed by using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. Furthermore, we employ a panel regression analysis framework based on the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method to examine the potential determinants of revenue efficiency. The results indicate that the level of revenue efficiency of Indonesian domestic Islamic banks is lower compared to their foreign Islamic bank counterparts.
 
Results and conclusion: We find that bank market power, liquidity, and management quality significantly influence the improvement in revenue efficiency of the Indonesian domestic Islamic banks during the period under study.
 
Research implications: By calculating these efficiency concepts, we can observe the efficiency levels of the domestic and foreign Islamic banks. In addition, by comparing both cost and profit efficiency, we can identify the influence of the revenue efficiency on the banks’ profitability.
 
Orinalitty/value: The preferred method allows us to distinguish between three different types of efficiency, namely cost, revenue, and profit efficiencies. Furthermore, we perform a series of parametric (t-test) and non-parametric (Mann- Whitney [Wilcoxon] and Kruskall-Wallis) tests to examine whether the domestic and foreign Islamic banks are drawn from the same population.

Authors: Chittoria Ravi Kumar , Singh P. Barath Kumar , Pola Vishnu Shekhar
Published: December 2023

Objectives:

Human amniotic membrane (HAM) is the biological scaffold for burn wound management. Allogenic HAM helps in promoting the healing of partial-thickness burn wounds. In this case study, we share our experience in using the antimicrobial-coated HAM.

Material and Methods:

The subject was an 8-year-old male child, who had accidental electrocution while playing near the electrical transformer and developed second-degree superficial and deep burns over the chest, abdomen, and bilateral lower limb. The child underwent tangential excision of the deep burns, and partial thickness burns are covered with dried allogenic HAM.

Results:

Intraoperative and postoperative periods were uneventful for the patient. The raw area took up the AM well, and burn wounds healed well in the second-degree superficial burns. A deep burns wound bed was prepared, and split skin grafting was done to the raw area. The wounds healed well after two weeks with minimal scarring. No complications or side effects were noted.

Conclusion:

Allogenic HAM plays a role in burn wound healing in burns. It helps in promoting the wound healing process.

L’art peut-il constituer un laboratoire pour penser la technique, mettre en question l’écosystème machinique, cultiver le numérique ? Depuis une vingtaine d’années, l’œuvre de Julien Prévieux explore la matérialité du numérique et la normalisation des comportements induits par les systèmes techniques. Dans la lignée de l’archéologie des médias, ses créations permettent d’interroger la transformation du monde en données (notamment informatiques) et l’histoire ambivalente de la capture du mouvement, depuis ses origines scientifiques jusqu’à son instrumentalisation contemporaine par les institutions militaires ou du renseignement : optimisation et prescription des gestes d’interface, enregistrement des mouvements du regard, surveillance accrue des comportements étiquetés comme déviants, etc. Cet article propose d’examiner cette approche technocritique et statactiviste, à contre-courant de l’idéologie du progrès et de l’accélération de l’innovation.

Une création au risque du vivant est une œuvre qui intensifie qualitativement la part de l’organicité au cœur de la relation dramaturgique qu’elle explore. Ce faisant, dans le rapport aux publics et aux institutions, le lieu du geste artistique devient le sismographe de la place qu’une société accorde, ou ne considère pas normal accorder à d’autres acteurs que les humains. Les éco-dramaturgies se multiplient pour autant, certaines étant plus radicales que d’autres. Nous sommes allée à la rencontre d’une des plus radicales. Zone de timidité est une création immersive dont notre texte propose une ekphrasis en invitant le lecteur à la découvrir via une approche dénudée autant que possible de tout filtre épistémologique. L’analyse qui suit se fait en dialogue avec la chorégraphe et danseuse Maria Donata D’Urso, autour de la puissance figurale des métamorphoses qu’elle traverse sur scène, ainsi que des enjeux et des conséquences que comporte la signature d’une « éco-scène ».

Mannheimia haemolytica, formerly known as Pasteurella haemolytica, is a bacterium belonging to the family Pasteurellaceae. It is commonly found in the respiratory tracts of cattle and other ruminant animals, and is a significant pathogen in the cattle industry. This bacterium is known to cause bovine respiratory disease (BRD), which can lead to severe economic losses in the livestock industry.

The discovery of magic sized clusters as intermediates in the synthesis of colloidal quantum dots has allowed for insight into formation pathways and provided atomically precise, molecular platforms for studying the structure and surface chemistry of those materials. The synthesis of monodisperse InAs quantum dots has been developed through the use of indium carboxylate and As(SiMe3)3 as precursors and documented to proceed through the formation of magic-sized intermediates. Herein, we report the synthesis, isolation, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure of an InAs nanocluster that is ubiquitous across reports of InAs quantum dot synthesis. The structure, In26As18(O2CR)24(PR’3)3, is substantially different from previously reported nanocluster structures even within the III-V family. However, it can be structurally linked to III-V and II-VI cluster structures through the anion sublattice. Further spectroscopic analysis using variable temperature absorbance spectroscopy and supported by computation deepens our understanding of the reported structure and InAs nanomaterials as a whole.
Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy Resolves Relative Excited State Displacements

Knowledge of relative displacements between potential energy surfaces (PES) is critical in spectroscopy and photochemistry. Information on displacements is encoded in vibrational coherences. Here we apply ultrafast two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy in a pump-probe half-broadband (HB2DES) geometry to probe the ground and excited state potential landscapes of cresyl violet. 2D coherence maps reveal that while the coherence amplitude of the dominant 585 cm-1 Raman active mode is mainly localised in ground state bleach and stimulated emission regions, a 338 cm-1 mode is enhanced in excited state absorption. Modelling these data with a three-level displaced harmonic oscillator model using the hierarchical equation of motion-phase matching approach (HEOM-PMA) shows that the S1←S0 PES displacement is greater along the 585 cm-1 than the 338 cm-1 coordinate, while Sn←S1 displacements are similar along both coordinates. HB2DES is thus a powerful tool for exploiting nuclear wavepackets to extract quantitative multidimensional, vibrational coordinate information across multiple PESs.
High conversion of methane to methyl ester at 298 K

To establish an aerobic oxidation of methane to produce methanol in high yield under ambient conditions is one of dreams to researchers in both academia and industry. However, although a lot of progress has been made on methane functionalization for several decades, it is still a grand challenge to break through the selectivity-conversion limit in the aerobic oxidation of methane to methanol or methyl ester especially at room temperature. Herein we report a simple visible-light driven reaction of CH4/O2 with CF3CO2H (HTFA) to CH3-O-COCF3 (MTFA) at 298 K, just using catalytic NaNO2 in aqueous HCl/HTFA solution. In a batch reaction of CH4/O2 (1:5, 0.4 MPa), the yield of MTFA is over 90%. In a 7-day continuous experiment of CH4/O2 (2:1, 0.1 MPa), both the MTFA selectivity and the methane conversion are over 90% based on the input methane. The turnover frequency (TOF) is 2.5 mol_MTFA mol_(NaNO_2 )-1 h-1, and the turnover number (TON) is over 400. A reasonable reaction mechanism is suggested and partial confirmed by experiments, involving NOCl as a crucial species in the two-phase aerobic oxidation of methane to methyl ester. Methanol could be obtained by a common hydrolysis of MTFA at 298 K. Neither metal catalysts nor special reagents are necessary in this two-step conversion of methane to methanol.
Three-Center Tight-Binding together with Multipolar Auxiliary Functions
Authors: Van den Bossche Maxime
Published: December 2023

We present an ab initio tight-binding method that allows to improve on the effective potential and minimal basis approximations employed in semi-empirical calculations. Three-center expansions are used to evaluate the zeroth-order Hamiltonian matrix elements and repulsive energy terms in the spirit of the Horsfield method. Self-consistency is handled by expanding atomic orbital products in an auxiliary basis following the work of Giese and York, combined with a two-center expansion of the exchange-correlation kernels. Together with non-minimal main basis sets (double zeta plus polarization) we show that the resulting method trades a modest amount of accuracy for a significant gain in speed, compared to NAO-DFT, in calculations on small molecules, bulk compounds and metal nanoclusters.
