Deep Learning based Liver Segmentation: A Review
Authors: Napte Kiran , Mahajan Anurag
Published: January 2023

Tremendous advancement takes place in the field of medical science. With this advancement, it is possible to support diagnosis and treatment planning for various diseases related to the abdominal organ. The liver is one of the adnominal organs, a common site for developing tumors. Liver disease is one of the main causes of death. Due to its complex and heterogeneous nature and shape, it is challenging to segment the liver and its tumor. There are numerous methods available for liver segmentation. Some are handcrafted, semi-automatic, and fully automatic. Image segmentation using deep learning techniques is becoming a very robust tool nowadays. There are many methods of liver segmentation which uses Deep Learning. This article provides the survey of the various liver segmentation schemes based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Convolution Neural network (CNN), Deep Belief network (DBN), Auto Encoder, Deep Feed-forward neural Network (DFNN), etc based on the architecture details, methodology, performance metrics and dataset details. Researchers are continuously putting efforts into improving these segmentation techniques. So this article give out a comprehensive review of deep learning-based liver segmentation techniques and highlights the advantages of the deep learning segmentation schemes over the traditional segmentation techniques.
Replacement of Stirrups by Steel Fibers in Shear Dominant UHPFRC Beams
Authors: HASGÜL Umut , YAVAŞ Altuğ , BİROL Tamer
Published: January 2023

In the present study, the impacts of variety of fiber types and amounts on shear dominant Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) beams and the feasibility of fully replacement of stirrups by the steel fibers were investigated. Fifteen UHPFRC beams containing five different fiber types and three volume fractions were prepared without stirrup and were loaded under four-point loading. The influences of steel fiber were discussed in terms of the load-deflection behavior, cracking behavior, collapse modes, ultimate shear strength, nominal moment capacity and deflection ductility. The steel fiber use prominently increased the post-cracking stiffness and load capacity of the UHPFRC beams with the help of the fibers’ crack-bridging ability. Conversely, the steel fibers in different types didn’t have an importance on the collapse mode of the shear dominant UHPFRC beams. The use of straight steel fibers in the UHPFRC beams, even at very low volume fractions of 0.5 percent, changed the collapse condition from shear to flexure resulting in a ductile behavior. But the hooked fiber inclusion by 1.5 vol percent percent at least is needed to guarantee the flexural behavior regardless of hooked or multi hooked-end form.
The relationship between sustainable nutrition and healthy food choice: a cross-sectional study
Authors: ARSLAN Nurgül , ALATAŞ Hacer
Published: January 2023

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate university students' attitudes toward sustainable nutrition, their level of knowledge in this area, and the associations between these variables and food preferences.
Methods: This study was conducted with university students between the ages of 19-45. The study data were collected between May 2022 and July. In the study, the Scale of sustainable nutrition knowledge was used for the sustainable nutrition knowledge level of individuals. The food choice scale was used to determine the food preference and the Sustainable and Healthy Eating Behaviors scale was used to determine the health food choice preference.
Results: The study involved 467 participants, and female made up 64.67% of the study's participants. The mean age of the group was 23.21 ± 6.13 years. Knowledge of sustainable nutrition increases by 1.365 for every 0.821 increase in educational level. The sustainable nutrition knowledge score increased by 1.529 points, the scale score for sustainable and healthy eating behaviors increased by 0.651 points, and the monthly income to the model increased by 1.611 times for every 1.109 unit (p = 0.005).
Conclusions: Our survey shows that most college students believe eating sustainably is important. As people's education and knowledge about sustainable nutrition rise, so do their healthy eating habits. Expand sustainable nutrition education, add it to the curriculum, and create nutrition guides to promote this novel concept in our country.
Phonaesthetic Phonological Iconicity in Literary Analysis Illustrated by Angela Carter’s “The Bloody Chamber”
Authors: Gwóźdź Maja
Published: January 2023

The article offers a phonosemantic analysis of Angela Carter’s “The Bloody Chamber.” The phonosemantic investigation has been based on the corpus of nineteen relevant sound-related descriptions of the sea. Although most excerpts identified contain aural metaphors and are not phonologically iconic per se, there seem to exist at least three fragments which are particularly interesting from a phonosemantic point of view. Most notably, phonaesthemes /gl/, /l/, /r/ have been found to carry substantial meaning contributing to the overall interpretation of the story in question. Accounting for the inevitable subjectivity concerning iconicity, and in this case phonological iconicity, a few theories are presented in order to support the author’s reading of each phonaestheme’s contextual significance. The paper briefly reviews the chronological development of the field of phonosemantics and then combines the aural images theory (proposed by Richard Rhodes) with the “aural semiotic process” theory (the term coined by the author). Each analysis is further supplemented with scholarly views on respective phonaesthemes. On the whole, the paper does not aim to polemicize with the well-established definition of a phoneme and its generally accepted arbitrariness. Nevertheless, it has been observed that a speculative phonosemantic analysis of a literary work may yield noteworthy results.
The Power of Music in the Tale of Beren and Lúthien by J.R.R. Tolkien
Authors: Klag Katarzyna Wiktoria
Published: January 2023

Tolkien valued music in his private life, and this is mirrored in his works about Middle-Earth, which owes its very existence to music. It is born out of the song of the Ainur. But the role of music does not end with this creative act, rather, it continues to influence the history of Middle-Earth. The paper aims to analyze the role of music in the tale of Beren and Lúthien in the published Silmarillion. The tale of Beren and Lúthien was of personal significance to Tolkien himself. It also includes numerous allusions to music. It is the language of love for both Beren and Lúthien, who make their own songs. Lúthien’s music has power which allows her to overcome Sauron and Morgoth and to win a second life for Beren from Mandos, while Finrod uses music in his duel with Sauron. Music affects both positive and negative characters, including Sauron and Morgoth. Its importance is also emphasized by the existence of professional musicians, such as Daeron, Thingol's minstrel. The story "Of Beren and Lúthien" demonstrates the power of music, which has a huge impact on the entire history of Middle- Earth. Without it, many events would never have happened.
Approaching Transhumanism: On How Human Beings Transform in the 21st Century
Authors: Wendykowska Emilia
Published: January 2023

The following article is to introduce the reader into a cultural and intellectual movement whose aim is to identify the need for improvement in human life in the sphere of physicality as well as mentality with the aid of modern technologies – transhumanism. With the dramatic change in the perception of technology, transhumanist welcome the opportunity to improve cognitive skills, help to perpetuate human happiness, or increase longevity. Although the opponents of the transhumanist thought dismiss it as “the world’s most dangerous idea,” the adversaries advocate that the alternation of human form is both practical and reasonable. With the use of modern technology, enthusiasts of transhumanism try to prove that the human body needs to be re-invented in order to transcend the natural limitations. In my work I will try to tackle the problem of human body being currently subject to gradual transition from Homo Sapiens to Robo Sapiens, the process of ‘becoming’ a cyborg. By incorporating bodily augmentation, contemporary artists such as Stelarc or Neil Harbisson cast a light on the change of physical form, as well as the definition of being human. Evoking much controversy, transhumanism brings a completely new dimension to the understanding of the current human condition.
Towards a Non-hierarchical Space of Thought: Reading Roland Barthes’ The Neutral
Authors: Myk Małgorzata
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to The Neutral: the 1977-1978 lecture course developed and taught by Roland Barthes at the Collège de France. I argue that The Neutral is firmly rooted in the tradition that Brian Massumi defined as “nomad thought” in his foreword to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism & Schizophrenia. The essay traces the genealogy of this tradition and the term of the neutral, beginning with Maurice Blanchot’s work and his own concept of the neutral and ending with Barthes’ so far largely unexplored engagement with the texts of Deleuze. Elusive as the neutral figure is meant to remain, it emerges as a theorist’s effort to exercise a form of non-dualistic and non-hierarchical thinkin
Vision and Violence in Virginia Woolf’s The Waves
Authors: Otto Peggy D.
Published: January 2023

Virginia Woolf describes her artistic goal in The Waves as an attempt to create “an abstract mystical eyeless book.” Yet, in creating her eyeless book, one that eschews a single narrative perspective, Woolf amasses abundant visual details. For each of her six characters, visual images mark significant moments of being. In fact, Woolf emphasizes the characters’ capacity for sight as a vulnerability that allows them to be violated and wounded over and over. This article analyzes connections between visual imagery and themes of violence in the novel to demonstrate how they cohere into an extended metaphor for the ways in which acts of looking can elicit powerful emotions that threaten to fragment individual identity in painful ways. While Woolf’s novel has received critical commentary that focuses on the role of vision in the narrative and critics have also noted how violence in the text supports other themes, the explicit relationship between sight and violence has not yet been fully explored. A close examination of the visual imagery in key scenes of the novel demonstrates how Woolf engages the reader to participate in the characters’ deepening sense of fragmentation as they are repeatedly assaulted by experience, as the eyes themselves become symbols of the twin dynamics of desire and destruction.
Secularism and Its Discontents: The Moor’s Last Sigh and Riot
Authors: Pillai Swarnavel Eswaran
Published: January 2023

The recurrent theme of dropping frontiers in a world which has become increasingly heterogeneous but intolerant is the leitmotif of Sashi Tharoor’s Riot and Salman Rushdie’s The Moor’s Last Sigh. The figure of the Moor and his hybrid genealogy is central to Rushdie’s vision, as he reconstructs a syncretic, tolerant Moorish Spain and juxtaposes it with Bombay, his haven of pluralism. He celebrates Nehru’s vision of a new Indian nation which, in keeping with the traditions of western modernity, promised to be above religion, clan, and narrow parochial considerations. With the vanishing of such ideals and hopes, as boundaries and religious communalism are getting intensified these diasporic cosmopolitan writers make a case for a boundless world. Their response is a human subjectivity which transcends color, class, narrow parochialism, tribalism and fundamentalism. Secularism is the very base of their humane approach. This essay, therefore, analyzes the theme of secularism and its discontents, particularly in the context of the coexistence of Hindus and Muslims in India, as it runs through Rushdie’s The Moor’s Last Sigh and Tharoor’s Riot by exploring the various layers of allegories related to pluralism and the critique of fundamentalism in them. Toward this end, it will focus on the recent debates on Indian secularism by scholars to interrogate the relevance of the European model of secularism which argues for the separation of state and religion.
Communality and the Individual in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road
Authors: Tazbir Jędrzej
Published: January 2023

The subject of the article is the analysis of the notion of communality in the relation between the two protagonists of The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Traversing the post-apocalyptic landscape populated mostly by wretched savages harbouring ill intent towards other human beings, the heroes ostensibly seek a place where establishing a sustainable society composed of the “good guys” can still be possible. However, while for the young son this goal implies the necessity of maintaining a sense of openness and hospitality towards the other, for the father it is the matter of day-to-day survival that takes precedence, which leads to repeated instances of withdrawing help from destitute survivors and avoiding human contact. The boy objects to this behavior, despite being wholly dependent on his father, as his sense of responsibility seems innate and unconditional. The man, on the other hand, gradually recognizes that he was so profoundly afflicted by the experience of losing his world that he cannot overcome his radical pessimism and distrust of the other. Therefore, when the man arrives at the end of his life, he comes to understand that it is only without him at his side that the son can enter a larger community.

Published: January 2023

People’s health beliefs and practices are affected by the culture in which they exist. In this sense; it is essential that nurses who experience the most interactions with health buyers/receivers and deliver health care services to those who have different cultures should know health-related cultural beliefs and practices of those to whom they deliver health services in order to offer an effective and productive care. In this respect; transcultural nursing term emerges. Besides; as known, health-disease practices and needs of individuals who live in different cultures may be different. In this sense; it is necessary for nurses to respect for others’ cultural beliefs and to deliver nursing care by knowing and paying attention to their cultures because people’s cultural beliefs and practices are very significant; in that nurses give a holistic care.

Is There a Role for the International Community in Palestinian State-building?
Authors: Seidner Marton
Published: January 2023

The European Union is known to be in favour of a two-state solution, but the question arises whether the two-state solution is a pan-European position, or there are Member States that have a "separate" policy, either in support of their national interests or because of historical and religious traditions and might have a different vision of the Middle East peace process. In my research, I am looking for answers to the question about the existing role of the international community in the creation of a Palestinian state. As a precondition for the emergence of an independent state, I hypothesize that EU member states do not recognize unanimously the legitimacy of a Palestinian State, despite the European Union's collective belief in the creation of a two-state solution. The research also highlights that the parties involved in state-building and peacebuilding do not necessarily shape their relations and policies in the interests of the international community. The Israeli-Palestinian peace process can partly facilitate the creation of a Palestinian State. Individual interpretations of the agreements and inflexibility on both sides have meant that neither the peace process nor state-building has made much progress in recent decades. In the research methodology, I conducted theoretical and empirical research and examined the resolutions of the UN General Assembly between 2012 and 2022. For each resolution, I examined the voting mechanism of the EU Member States in terms of whether they support the creation of Palestine or whether they support Israel. The evaluation of these results and the drawing of independent conclusions are the individually added values of the research. I draw conclusions from the voting mechanisms I have evaluated and from the involvement of the international community as to whether the involvement of the international community in state-building has been effective.

Цель исследования – изучение элементного статуса мужского населения Сахалинской области и Республики Саха (Якутия) для повышения адаптационного потенциала и снижения смертности мужчин трудоспособного возраста. Материалы и методы. Изучено содержание химических элементов в волосах мужчин в возрасте 18–50 лет, проживающих в Республике Саха (Якутия) (200 человек) и Сахалинской области (75 человек). Анализ выполнен методом масс-спектрометрии с индуктивно связанной плазмой (ИСП-МС) на базе аккредитованной лаборатории АНО «Центр биотической медицины» (г. Москва; ISO 9001:2008 сертификат 54Q10077 от 21.05.2010 г.). Результаты. Для жителей Сахалинской области характерно высокое содержание в волосах олова, бора, кобальта в сочетании с относительно низким уровнем цинка и железа. Повышение содержания в волосах бора, кобальта может быть обусловлено значительным количеством бора в водорослях, кобальта – в морепродуктах. Относительно низкое содержание в волосах жителей Сахалина свинца, ртути, меди и кадмия, вероятно, объясняется более высоким уровнем жизни и медицинского обслуживания, качеством питания, потреблением альгинатов (водоросли), меньшим загрязнением окружающей среды. Для взрослых жителей Республики Саха (Якутия) характерно повышенное содержание в волосах поллютантов свинца, кадмия, алюминия, хрома, а также макроэлементов натрия и калия в сочетании с дефицитом селена. Выводы. Многоэлементный анализ волос мужского населения Республики Саха (Якутия) и Сахалинской области указывает на наличие дисбаланса среди взрослого населения, что требует коррекции и учета при скрининговых обследованиях населения и разработке программ по улучшению питания.

Published: January 2023

Em conjunturas de crise financeira, muitos governos nacionais foram obrigados a negociar acordos com o Fundo Monetário Internacional para receber empréstimos; em contrapartida, tiveram de adotar um Programa de Ajuste Estrutural. Porém, a austeridade fiscal prolongada prejudicou bastante as políticas sociais nos respectivos países. Este texto apresenta os sete artigos que compõem este dossiê, buscando assim introduzir o debate sobre a “proteção social em tempos de austeridade”.

ResumenEn la Araucanía, último territorio de ocupación del Estado chileno sobre tierras resistidas por los mapuche, se desarrollaron estrategias republicanas a fines del s. XIX que revelan sus maniobras para imponer, extender y consolidar procesos modernizadores. Desde los discursos presidenciales de Domingo Santa María y José Manuel Balmaceda, se examina el papel del poder ejecutivo por materializar la presencia del Estado en la Araucanía; en especial el desarrollo de la infraestructura ferroviaria, y en particular la construcción del viaducto del Malleco como hito que extiende las comunicaciones y el transporte hacia el sur de Chile.AbstractIn the Araucania, the last territory occupied by the Chilean State, on land resisted by the Mapuche, Republican strategies were implemented at the end of the 19th century that reveal their maneuvers to impose, extend, and consolidate modernizing processes. The role of the executive power to materialize State presence in the Araucania is examined from the Presidential speeches of Domingo Santa Maria and José Manuel Balmaceda, particularly the development of railroad infrastructure, and specifically the construction of the Malleco viaduct as a milestone that extends communications and transportation to the south of Chile.

ResumenEsta comunicación tiene como objeto el origen y planteamiento metodológico de una investigación predoctoral en desarrollo, que aborda las principales transformaciones urbano-territoriales de la Región de Murcia en las últimas décadas y su relación con las dinámicas socioeconómicas y políticas en un contexto de neoliberalización, evaluando el papel del planeamiento urbanístico y la ordenación territorial en su implementación, con especial atención al desarrollo territorial de la agroindustria destinada a la exportación, los procesos de urbanización y el modelo turístico litoral. El análisis de estos procesos y de su papel en el colapso medioambiental posibilita el desarrollo de un diagnóstico integral que identifique cuáles son las líneas de actuación posibles desde el planeamiento urbano y territorial, permitiendo poner en marcha estrategias de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático para hacer frente a la transición ecológica en la Región de Murcia desde parámetros de eficacia medioambiental y justicia social.AbstractThe purpose of this communication is the origin and methodological approach of a predoctoral research in development, which addresses the main urban-territorial transformations of the Region of Murcia in recent decades and their relationship with socioeconomic and political dynamics in a context of neoliberalization, evaluating the role of urban and territorial planning in its implementation, with special attention to the territorial development of agro-industry for export, urbanization processes and the coastal tourism model. The analysis of these processes and their role in the environmental collapse makes possible the development of an integral diagnosis that identifies the possible lines of action from the urban and territorial planning, allowing the implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies to climate change to face the ecological transition in the Region of Murcia from parameters of environmental efficiency and social justice.

Different studies corroborate a role for ceramide synthases and their downstream products, ceramides, in modulation of apoptosis and autophagy in the context of cancer. These mechanisms of regulation, however, appear to be context dependent in terms of ceramides’ fatty acid chain length, subcellular localization, and the presence or absence of their downstream targets. Our current understanding of the role of ceramide synthases and ceramides in regulation of apoptosis and autophagy could be harnessed to pioneer the development of new treatments to activate or inhibit a single type of ceramide synthase, thereby regulating the apoptosis induction or cross talk of apoptosis and autophagy in cancer cells. Moreover, the apoptotic function of ceramide suggests that ceramide analogues can pave the way for the development of novel cancer treatments. Therefore, in the current review paper we discuss the impact of ceramide synthases and ceramides in regulation of apoptosis and autophagy in context of different types of cancers. We also briefly introduce the latest methods to analyze the lipids in biological samples. Finally, we discuss the drug development strategies focusing on the ceramide synthases and ceramides as future therapeutic approaches in cancer therapy.

Previously existing payments for the treatment of coronavirus infection (incentive payments, special social benefits) were not taxed on personal income. Therefore, the question naturally arises whether compensation payments to certain categories of persons at risk of contracting a new coronavirus infection are subject to taxation with this income. This problem is all the more urgent because, in accordance with the Tax Code, a number of types of compensation payments are exempt from taxation. The article analyzes the positions of the tax authorities on the problem under consideration, taking into account judicial practice, and concludes that compensation payments related to the treatment of COVID‑19 are an element of remuneration, act as a form of compensation surcharges for work in harmful working conditions, and therefore are subject to personal income tax in a general manner.
