Conservadurismo, anticomunismo y represión policial.
Authors: Urbina Gaitán Chester
Published: April 2024

Las declaraciones de John Lennon de 1966 sobre el cristianismo dieron pie en Costa Rica a la organización de un movimiento conservador, cuya convocatoria giró alrededor de la defensa de la religión. Este movimiento, aunque fue convocado por varias agrupaciones juveniles, de estudiantes y religiosas no contó con una dirigencia clara y con controles que evitaran la infiltración de elementos vandálicos que lo distorsionaran. Igualmente fue desvirtuado con fines vandálicos, por lo que los cuerpos de seguridad del Estado optaron por la represión y los abusos contra periodistas que informaban sobre lo acontecido.

To determine the burning rate of the charge for the production of aluminum diboride, a steel pipe with a welded bottom in the form of a glass was used. Holes were drilled vertically on the side surface at a distance of 5 cm for thermocouples. The ignition was carried out from above by an electric pulse fed to the nichrome spiral through the adjustable laboratory autotransformer. To fix the burning rate, chromel-alumel thermocouples were used. The signal from the thermocouple was recorded on a two-channel USB oscilloscope Acute TS2212F. Before conducting experiments to determine the effect of the granulometric composition, all the initial powders were dried. Then the powders were sieved into fractions. After preparation, the powders were dosed in accordance with the calculated composition and thoroughly mixed to evenly distribute the components among themselves. Despite the fact that the resulting alloy does not form a single dense ingot and is presented in the form of sweat balls in the slag phase, it can be argued that an excess of aluminum of 10-20% contributes to the maximum development of the charge penetration rate.
Uma extração de dados a partir da análise de estudos sobre a aplicação de gamificação no ensino de idiomas: uma revi-são sistemática da literatura
Authors: Sousa Suzana Lustosa de , Oliveira Sandro Ronaldo Bezerra , Elgrably Isaac Souza
Published: April 2024

Este artigo trata-se de uma extensão do trabalho que foi publicado no 20TH CONTECSI (International Conference on Information Systems and Technology Management), que se tratava de uma análise bibliométrica de dados referentes a publicações sobre gamificação no ensino de idiomas, que ofereceu base fundamental para este artigo, a partir do uso do protocolo de revisão, que proporcionou a seleção de 114 estudos que são analisados neste artigo. O presente trabalho visa responder uma questão de pesquisa principal, desmembrada em seis outras questões secundárias, a partir da extração de dados proporcionada por uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura, que mapeou publicações entre 2019 e 2023 sobre a utilização de abordagem gamificada no ensino de idiomas. A extração teve como resultado a identificação de insumos relacionados a esta prática e formas de avaliação do engajamento por parte dos discentes. Os dados mostram elementos chave para o desenvolvimento de uma abordagem gamificada que seja eficaz em atingir objetivos educacionais previamente estabelecidos por docentes. O estudo identificou o uso marjoritário de elementos de jogos conhecidos como PBL (Points, Bagdes and Leaderboards), que são pontos, emblemas e quadros de líderes, mecânicas em formato de Quiz, que são perguntas cujas respostas vem em formato de alternativas, e a aquisição de recompensa a partir da resolução de desafios, bem como o uso massivo de questionários como forma de avaliar o engajamento geral dos alunos durante a utilização de abordagem gamificada. O artigo apresenta a conclusão de que a maioria dos docentes, ao utilizarem uma abordagem com gamificação, restringem-se na utilização de elementos mais difundidos pelo público geral, como pontos e quadros de líderes, bem como, apesar de citar o reconhecimento de motivadores extrínsecos e intrínsecos, não apresentam uma sistematização no uso de mecânicas que estejam relacionadas a algum destes motivadores.
Progress and Prospect of Dscam Gene in Drosophila Immunity
Authors: Jin Lirong , Zhou Wenke
Published: April 2024

The cell adhesion molecule (Dscam) gene in Down syndrome is an extraordinary example of diversity: by combining alternative splicing exons, thousands of subtypes can be generated from just one gene. So far, this diversity of the gene has only been found in insects and crustaceans, and the basic part of neural connections has been well characterized as Drosophila melanogaster. More than a decade ago, evidence from Drosophila melanogaster indicated that the Dscam gene is involved in insect immune defense. However, we are still far from fully understanding the functions of Dscam in parasites and pathogens, as well as its full correlation with the immune system. In this article, we first briefly introduce the immune mechanism of fruit flies and the current research status of Dscam. Finally, the future research prospects of Dscam are summarized and proposed, with the aim of providing a multi perspective perspective to further study the relationship between this gene and immune defense in detail.

The function of network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) in protecting networks from cyberattacks is crucial. Many of the more conventional techniques rely on signature-based approaches, which have a hard time distinguishing between various types of assaults. Using stacked FT-Transformer architecture, this research suggests a new way to identify intrusions in networks. When it comes to dealing with complicated tabular data, FT-Transformers—a variant of the Transformer model—have shown outstanding performance. Because of the inherent tabular nature of network traffic data, FT-Transformers are an attractive option for intrusion detection jobs. In this area, our study looks at how FT-Transformers outperform more conventional machine learning (ML) methods. Our working hypothesis is that, in comparison to single-layered ML models, FT-Transformers will achieve better detection accuracy due to their intrinsic capacity to grasp long-range correlations in network traffic data. We also test the FT-Transformer model on several network traffic datasets that include various protocols and attack kinds to see how well it performs and how generalizable it is. The purpose of this research is to shed light on how well and how versatile FT-Transformers perform for detecting intrusions in networks. We aim to prove that FT-Transformers can secure networks from ever-changing cyber threats by comparing their performance to that of classic ML models and by testing their generalizability.
Disparities in Correlation Between Total Revenue and EPS: The Influence of R&D and Regulatory Environments in Tech and Pharmaceutical Industries
Authors: Wang Fengying

This research navigates through the divergent pathways of the tech and pharmaceutical industries, elucidating a marked correlation in the former and a distinctly subdued one in the latter. By immersing into an incisive analysis that encompasses industry-specific attributes, market dynamics, and financial protocols, this paper not only shines a light on the disparities in the revenue-EPS correlation across these industries but also posits that the divergences can be substantially attributed to the disparate R&D investment strategies and regulatory environments that inherently characterize them. The encapsulated findings offer a refined lens through which the financial undercurrents of pivotal industries can be examined, providing foundational insights for investors and policy-makers alike.
Digitization and Gender Income Gap Among Rural Migrants: Evidence from China
Authors: Feng Jinghan , Wei Jiang
Published: April 2024

This article explores the role of digitization in the gender wage gap among rural migrants in China. With the rapid development of the digital economy, rural migrant workers have become an important part of society. Based on data source from National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, we find that although digitization increases the overall income of rural migrant workers, it benefits males more than females, and the gender income gap among rural migrants is widening. According to our estimates, digitization significantly improves the mobility of females and requires more male physical workers than females, thus widening the gender income gap. Heterogeneity analysis shows that there are significant differences in the effect of digitization among those who have different education levels, marital status, ages, and the economic levels of the cities they have migrated to. The gender income gap widens when rural migrants have junior or high school education, are married, are young, and have migrated to cities with high economic development. Our findings highlight the effects of digitization across special social groups, providing micro-evidence of the digital economy's impact on the gender income gap and offering useful references for implementing digital strategies and public policies to social equity and sustainable development.

Multi-Label Sampling based on Label Imbalance Rate and Neighborhood Distribution
Authors: Zhang Zhen
Published: April 2024

Existing multi-label classification algorithms often assume that label distribution in the training set is balanced, but practical datasets frequently exhibit significant label imbalance. This imbalance affects the learning and generalization performance of the classifiers. To address the problem of label imbalance in multi-label classification, this paper proposes a new synthetic oversampling algorithm, named Multi-Label Synthetic Oversampling based on Label Imbalance Rate and Neighborhood Distribution (MLSIN). This algorithm synthesizes new samples by considering both the imbalance rate of labels and the distribution of samples in their neighborhood, aiming to improve the classifiers performance on minority labels. The rest of this chapter first introduces the evaluation metrics for multi-label classification effectiveness. Then it defines and computes the degree of label imbalance, describes the calculation of imbalance weights, and proposes a sample type correction penalty strategy, detailing the algorithm's process for selecting base and auxiliary samples., and validates the proposed method on public datasets and summarizes the experimental results.

The Removal of Total Knee Arthroplasty From the Inpatient-Only List has Improved Patient Optimization
Authors: Cochrane Niall H. , Kim Billy I. , Jiranek William A. , Seyler Thorsten M. , Bolognesi Michael P. , Ryan Sean P.
Published: April 2024

Introduction:

On January 1, 2018, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services removed total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from the inpatient-only (IPO) list, expanding outpatient TKA (oTKA) to include patients with insurance coverage through their programs. These regulatory changes reinforced the need for preoperative optimization to ensure a safe and timely discharge after surgery. This study compared modifiable preoperative optimization metrics in patients who underwent oTKA pre-IPO and post-IPO removal. The authors hypothesized that patients post-IPO removal would demonstrate improvement in the selected categories.

Methods:

Outpatient TKA in a national database was identified and stratified by surgical year (2015 to 2017 versus 2018 to 2020). Preoperative optimization thresholds were established for the following modifiable risk factors: albumin, hematocrit, sodium, smoking, and body mass index. The percentage of patients who did not meet thresholds pre-IPO and post-IPO removal were compared.

Results:

In total, 2,074 patients underwent oTKA from 2015 to 2017 compared with 46,480 from 2018 to 2020. Patients undergoing oTKA after IPO removal were significantly older (67.0 versus 64.4 years; P < 0.01). A lower percentage of patients in the post-IPO cohort fell outside the threshold for all modifiable risk factors. Results were significant for preoperative sodium (10.7% versus 8.8%; P < 0.01), body mass index (12.4% versus 11.0% P = 0.05), and smoking history (9.9% versus 6.6%; P < 0.01).

Conclusion:

Outpatient TKA has increased considerably post-IPO removal. As this regulatory change has allowed older patients with increased comorbidities to undergo oTKA, the need for appropriate preoperative optimization has increased. The current data set demonstrates that surgeons have improved preoperative optimization efforts for select modifiable risk factors.

On the topology of the Reeb graph
Authors: Gelbukh Irina
Published: April 2024

The Reeb quotient space $R_f$ of a function $f\from X\to\mathbb{R}$, known as the Reeb graph, can have various properties depending on $X$ and $f$. In the classical case of a smooth function on a closed manifold with a finite number of critical points, $R_f$ has the structure of a finite graph. Recently, Saeki showed that the same is true if $f$ is a smooth function with a finite number of critical values. Expanding his result, we prove that for an arbitrary smooth function on a closed connected manifold, the Reeb space $R_f$ still has a ``good'' structure; namely, $R_f$ is a $1$-dimensional Peano continuum homotopy equivalent to a finite graph.

The integer sequence defined by $P_{n+3}=P_{n+1}+P_{n}$ with initial values $P_{0}=P_{1}=P_{2}=1$ is known as the Padovan sequence $(P_n)_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}$. In this note, we solve the Diophantine equations $P_{-n}=\pm P_{m}^{2}$, $P_{n}=P_{-m}^{2}$, and $P_{-n}=\pm P_{-m}^{2}$ in positive integers $n,m$.
Uniqueness conjecture on simultaneous Pell equations. II
Authors: Fujita Yasutsugu , Le Maohua
Published: April 2024

Let $A$ and $B$ be distinct positive integers. It is known that any positive solution to the simultaneous Pell equations $x^2-Ay^2=1$ and $z^2-By^2=1$ gives rise to a positive solution to the simultaneous Pell equations $x^2-(m^2-1)y^2=1$ and $z^2-(n^2-1)y^2=1$ for some distinct integers $m$ and $n$ greater than one. In this paper, we prove that the latter equations have only the positive solution $(x,y,z)=(m,1,n)$ if $\{1,b,c\}$ is a Diophantine triple with $b=m^2-1$, $c=n^2-1$ and $c\ge \max\{200b^4,2b^5\}$. Moreover, we show that the same conclusion holds if we replace the inequality assumed above by $b=\sigma p^e+1$ for some prime $p$, a positive integer $e$ and $\sigma\in\{1,2,4\}$.

The waste materials are always a problem for the environment, some waste may be disposed easily and some cannot. Plastic is also a kind of material whose disposal is always a tedious job. The disposal of waste effected the environment drastically, for minimizing this effect several research in various field is going on to recycle plastic safely. One of its ways is to use the waste plastic in the road construction Plastic Road is a need of an hour as they not only consume waste plastic in an eco-friendly way, but also helpful in increasing the quality of the road. In the review paper we will thoroughly study some of the methods and technique through which plastic is used in the road construction and how these technologies suits in various conditions. Significant environmental and economic problems are created because all forms of plastic like carry bags, wrappers, chocolates, chips, hand bags, cold drinks bottles and lids of all bottles. Utilization of waste plastic bags in bituminous mixes has proved that these enhance the properties of mix in addition to solving disposal problem. The processed waste plastic, when added to hot aggregate will form a fine coat of plastic over the aggregate and such aggregate when mixed with the binder is founds to give higher strengths, higher resistance to water and better performance over a time period. Therefore, plastic roads, is a simple way to make eco-friendly constructions. The innovative technology not only strengthened the road construction but also increased the road life as well as will help to improve the environment. The main objective of this Paper is to discuss the significant of plastic in terms of innovative methodology for treatment and disposing and to provide solution to reduce, recycle, reuse by applying it for pavement and road construction.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to identify the factors that influence customers' choices between in-store and online shopping, as well as any relationships (direct or indirect) between these factors and the two channels. To better comprehend the factors that impact our choices to purchase online or in a real store, this research will function as a theoretical examination. Drawing findings from graphical analysis requires first determining which demographic groupings prefer online shopping over more conventional brick-and-mortar establishments. An analysis of correlation can shed light on the nature of the connection between the product's price and the quantity sought for. Simple regression analysis is a statistical method that uses the value of one related variable to estimate the value of another connected variable. Here, we'll estimate the quantity purchased online using the cost value. Clothing and cosmetics account for the bulk of women's monthly online product purchases, with an average of one unit per customer. The most effective and widely seen form of advertising is discount commercials targeted at female consumers. The average male spends more money each month than the average female, shops at supermarkets instead of specialty businesses, and prefers to purchase gaming gear online. The quantity bought has an inverse relationship with the cost per unit.
