A positive feedback loop involving the Spa2 SHD domain contributes to focal polarization
Authors: Lawson Michael J. , Drawert Brian , Petzold Linda , Yi Tau-Mu
Published: February 2022

Focal polarization is necessary for finely arranged cell-cell interactions. The yeast mating projection, with its punctate polarisome, is a good model system for this process. We explored the critical role of the polarisome scaffold protein Spa2 during yeast mating with a hypothesis motivated by mathematical modeling and tested byin vivoexperiments. Our simulations predicted that two positive feedback loops generate focal polarization, including a novel feedback pathway involving the N-terminal domain of Spa2. We characterized the latter using loss-of-function and gain-of-function mutants. The N-terminal region contains a Spa2 Homology Domain (SHD) which is conserved from yeast to humans, and when mutated largely reproduced thespa2Δphenotype. Our work together with published data show that the SHD domain recruits Msb3/4 that stimulates Sec4-mediated transport of Bud6 to the polarisome. There, Bud6 activates Bni1-catalyzed actin cable formation, recruiting more Spa2 and completing the positive feedback loop. We demonstrate that disrupting this loop at any point results in morphological defects. Gain-of-function perturbations partially restored focal polarization in aspa2loss-of-function mutant without restoring localization of upstream components, thus supporting the pathway order. Thus, we have collected data consistent with a novel positive feedback loop that contributes to focal polarization during pheromone-induced polarization in yeast.

This paper proposes some high-ordered integer-valued auto-regressive time series process of order p (INAR(p)) with Zero-Inflated and Poisson-mixtures innovation distributions, wherein the predictor functions in these mentioned distributions allow for covariate specification, in particular, time-dependent covariates. The proposed time series structures are tested suitable to model the SARs-CoV-2 series in Mauritius which demonstrates excess zeros and hence significant over-dispersion with non-stationary trend. In addition, the INAR models allow the assessment of possible causes of COVID-19 in Mauritius. The results illustrate that the event of Vaccination and COVID-19 Stringency index are the most influential factors that can reduce the locally acquired COVID-19 cases and ultimately, the associated death cases. Moreover, the INAR(7) with Zero-inflated Negative Binomial innovations provides the best fitting and reliable Root Mean Square Errors, based on some short term forecasts. Undeniably, these information will hugely be useful to Mauritian authorities for implementation of comprehensive policies.
The correlation between internationalization and creativity: An exploratory study of Canadian SMEs
Authors: Roussy-Parent Mélody
Published: February 2022

This research evaluates the internationalization process of small enterprises from Canada and identifies the point where a creative act occurs. It suggests a holistic view and a better understanding of the correlation between internationalization and creative thinking. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with sixteen small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from Canada and six representative organizations in order to collect reliable quality data that define a model explaining this correlation. The enterprises operate in six industry sectors: gaming, artificial intelligence, information and communication technology, cleantech, life sciences and consumer goods. The case study approach was used to investigate the phenomenon in a real-life context and to present a conceptual framework that generalizes the findings. Consequently, this study finds that the process of creative thinking takes place when opportunities and cultural, economic and legal barriers appear during the internationalization process. The findings presented have implications for policy-makers, for consultants in international trade and for education systems. Challenging times and contexts of uncertainty require a creative mindset that will help the enterprise navigate safely and make the best decisions when unexpected events occur.
Review on recent Computer Vision Methods for Human Action Recognition
Authors: Muhamada Azhee Wria , Mohammed Aree A.
Published: February 2022

The subject of human activity recognition is considered an important goal in the domain of computer vision from the beginning of its development and has reached new levels. It is also thought of as a simple procedure. Problems arise in fast-moving and advanced scenes, and the numerical analysis of artificial intelligence (AI) through activity prediction mistreatment increased the attention of researchers to study. Having decent methodological and content related variations, several datasets were created to address the evaluation of these ways. Human activities play an important role but with challenging characteristic in various fields. Many applications exist in this field, such as smart home, helpful AI, HCI (Human-Computer Interaction), advancements in protection in applications such as transportation, education, security, and medication management, including falling or helping elderly in medical drug consumption. The positive impact of deep learning techniques on many vision applications leads to deploying these ways in video processing. Analysis of human behavior activities involves major challenges when human presence is concerned. One individual can be represented in multiple video sequences through skeleton, motion and/or abstract characteristics. This work aims to address human presence by combining many options and utilizing a new RNN structure for activities. The paper focuses on recent advances in machine learning-assisted action recognition.

Existing modern techniques for the recognition of actions and prediction similarly because the future scope for the analysis is mentioned accuracy within the review paper.
EpilNet: A Novel Approach to IoT based Epileptic Seizure Prediction and Diagnosis System using Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Gupta Shivam , Ranga Virender , Agrawal Priyansh
Published: February 2022

Epilepsy is one of the most occurring neurological diseases. The main characteristic of this disease is a frequent seizure, which is an electrical imbalance in the brain. It is generally accompanied by shaking of body parts and even leads (fainting). In the past few years, many treatments have come up. These mainly involve the use of anti-seizure drugs for controlling seizures. But in 70% of cases, these drugs are not effective, and surgery is the only solution when the condition worsens. So patients need to take care of themselves while having a seizure and be safe. Wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) devices have come up with the development in medical science and technology. These devices help in the analysis of brain electrical activities. EEG helps in locating the affected cortical region. The most important is that it can predict any seizure in advance on-site. This has resulted in a sudden increase in demand for effective and efficient seizure prediction and diagnosis systems. A novel approach to epileptic seizure prediction and diagnosis system “EpilNet” is proposed in the present paper. It is a one-dimensional (1D) convolution neural network. EpilNet gives the testing accuracy of 79.13% for five classes, leading to a significant increase of about 6-7% compared to related works. The developed Web API helps in bringing EpilNet into practical use. Thus, it is an integrated system for both patients and doctors. The system will help patients prevent injury or accidents and increase the efficiency of the treatment process by doctors in the hospitals.

Tékhne grammatiké: alguns apontamentos
Resumo: Há dois mil anos foi publicada aquela que seria considerada a primeira gramática do Ocidente: a “Tékhne Grammatiké”, de Dionísio Trácio. Dionísio seguia os preceitos da Escola de Alexandria, onde, no período clássico, encontravam-se os gramáticos mais renomados da época. Esse autor escreveu essa gramática com o objetivo de fornecer uma análise textual para a compreensão de textos clássicos gregos. A nomenclatura que ele nos fornece nessa época está presente até hoje nas gramáticas atuais. Neste artigo, fazemos um estudo do capítulo 13 da “Tékhne Grammatiké” para fazer uma comparação entre as perspectivas gramaticais alexandrina e estoica sobre os verbos, sobretudo no que concerne ao aspecto verbal.

argumentos céticos de Hume contra a existência do mundo externo
Authors: Souza Borges Dener
Published: February 2022

Esse trabalho analisa o ceticismo apresentado por Hume quanto à concepção de mundo externo, chamado por ele de ceticismo mitigado ou moderado, e mostra suas críticas aos sistemas que procuram justificar a existência de objetos distintos da mente. Hume apresenta uma nova compreensão acerca da natureza das percepções opondo-se à maneira como o senso comum as compreende ao considerarem as impressões dos sentidos como os próprios objetos. Também a crítica se estende ao sistema filosófico de sua época que buscou justificar uma dupla existência: percepções causadas por objetos externos. O trabalho mostra como as críticas são feitas ao senso comum e aos sistemas de Locke e Berkeley sobre a natureza das percepções. Será apresentado, durante o trabalho, que a noção de existência contínua e distinta de objetos do pensamento é uma forte crença que se fundamenta principalmente com as impressões registradas na memória e ganham força por meio do hábito e das funções da imaginação. Por fim, procurar-se-á mostrar que as causas de se supor o mundo contínuo e distinto da mente não justificam a crença em objetos externos de maneira distinguível da mente sem se fundamentar nas funções realizadas pela imaginação, considerada por Hume, falaciosa.

Hume's skeptical arguments against the existence of the external world
 
Abstract: This work analyzes the skepticism presented by Hume regarding the conception of the external world, which he calls mitigated or moderate skepticism, and shows his criticisms of systems that seek to justify the existence of distinct objects of the mind. Hume presents a new understanding about the nature of perceptions as opposed to the way common sense understands them, considering the impressions of the senses as the objects themselves. Criticism also extends to the philosophical system of its time that sought to justify a double existence: perceptions caused by external objects. The work shows how criticism is made of common sense and Locke and Berkeley's systems about the nature of perceptions. It will be presented, during the work, that the notion of continuous and distinct existence of objects of thought is a strong belief that is based mainly on the impressions registered in memory and gains strength through habit and the functions of the imagination. Finally, we will try to show that the causes, as Hume demonstrates, of assuming a continuous and distinct world of the mind, do not justify the belief in an external world in an intelligible way, without being based on the functions performed by the imagination, considered by Hume, fallacious.
Keywords: External world. Perceptions. Skepticism. Mind. Continuity.
Existência feminina como imanência: a relação entre liberdade, alteridade e opressão em Simone de Beauvoir
Authors: Isadora Pereira de Lima Danielli
Published: February 2022

RESUMO: A partir da noção da alteridade absoluta como condutora fundamental da existência da mulher no mundo, Simone de Beauvoir analisa a situação feminina sob a perspectiva da moral existencialista, segundo a qual o ser humano coloca-se no mundo concretamente somente através de projetos. A existência encontra seu sentido e sua justificação quando aquele que existe age com vistas à superação do dado, exercendo, portanto, sua liberdade original. Quando contrário, ao negar a liberdade e assumir a passividade da facticidade, o indivíduo incorre em uma falha moral, a imanência. Beauvoir observa um sentido imanente na existência feminina, mas de modo diferente da falha moral. A mulher foi forçada à imanência através da opressão. Este artigo tem por objetivo tratar da situação da mulher no mundo, analisando os conceitos de liberdade e alteridade a fim de traçar de que modo a mulher foi privada do movimento de transcendência e forçada à imanência.
 
ABSTRACT: Based on the notion of absolute otherness as a fundamental conductor of the existence of women in the world, Simone de Beauvoir analyzes the female situation from the perspective of existentialist morality, according to which the human being places themselves in the world concretely only through projects. Existence finds its meaning and its justification when the one who exists acts in order to overcome what is given, exercising, therefore, their original freedom. Contrariwise, by denying freedom and assuming the passivity of facticity, the individual incurs a moral failure, immanence. Beauvoir notes an immanent meaning in female existence, but in a different way from moral failure. Women were forced into immanence through oppression. This article aims to address the situation of women in the world, analyzing the concepts of freedom and otherness in order to outline how women have been deprived of the moviment of transcendence and forced into immanence.

origem social do valor:
Authors: Miranda Gutemberg
Published: February 2022

Resumo: O movimento do valor é dialético e se encontra inserido numa relação de valor. O valor-de-uso, enquanto transporte do valor, ocupa um lugar central na relação de valor e representa o oposto do valor-de-troca. A oposição entre o valor-de-uso e o valor-de-troca demonstra a natureza dialética do valor, desvelando-o enquanto produto de uma relação social e histórica ao mesmo tempo. A teoria do valor exposta n’O capital nasceu da crítica de Karl Marx à economia política e representa tanto uma síntese das reflexões filosóficas marxianas quanto o fundamento a partir do qual Marx desenvolverá sua crítica ao capitalismo.

The Social Origin of Value: Value-Use and Value-Exchange in a dialectic perspective
Abstract: The movement of value is dialectical and is inserted in a value relationship. Use-value, as a transfer of value, occupies a central place in the value relation and represents the opposite of exchange value. The opposition between use-value and exchange value demonstrates the dialectical nature of value, and reveals it as a product of both social and historical relations. The value theory revealed in Capital emerged from Karl Marx's political economy critique and represents both a synthesis of Marxian philosophical reflections and the foundation from which Marx will develop his critique of capitalism.

Prover-se para a morte:
Authors: Santos Cláudia Valéria Fortes de Oliveira dos
Published: February 2022

Resumo: O presente artigo aspira promover reflexões sobre o entendimento estoico de Lúcio Aneu Sêneca, escritor, filósofo e político romano do século I da era cristã, no que diz respeito à morte, seja esta ocasionada de forma natural ou disposta por suicídio, exibida pelo pensador supracitado como parte constituinte de extrema relevância para a concepção de Sêneca do homem ideal. Para tanto serão utilizadas algumas Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium e De Breitate Vitae. A compreensão senequiana denota a preocupação com a formação do homem que careceria ser preparado tanto para a vida como para a morte. Sêneca expõe que a morte é um dos pilares da existência, ou seja, um feito natural e previsto, cabendo ao homem ideal ser consciente dessa condição e, por conseguinte, desprender-se do medo da morte suscitado e, quando preciso, valer-se do suicídio a fim de resguardar a dignidade do ser humano. Assim, compete ao homem confrontar o temor e a angústia diante da morte, edificando-se, valorosamente, para essa realidade inevitável.

Providing yourself for death: senequian reflections
Abstract: This article aspires to promote reflections on Lucius Anneus Seneca’s stoic understanding, writer, philosopher and roman politician of the 1st century of the christian era, with regard to death, whether caused naturally or willingly by suicide, being exhibited by the aforementioned philosopher as a constituent part of extreme relevance for the conception of the ideal man. In order to do so some, Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium and De Brevitate Vitae, will be consulted. Seneca's understanding presents a concern with the formation of the man who would need to be prepared for life and death. Seneca asserts that death is one of the necessities of existence, that is, a natural and foreseen condition, it being up to the ideal man to be aware of this condition and, therefore, to let go of the fear it arouses and, when necessary, to embrace suicide in order to protect the dignity of the human being. Then, it is up to man to face fear and anguish in the face of death, growing valiantly for this inevitable reality.

Divisão do trabalho e apologia da ordem em Thomas Hobbes e Norbert Elias

Resumo: O artigo expõe os juízos afirmativos granjeados por Thomas Hobbes e Norbert Elias a respeito da divisão do trabalho e de suas relações com a ordem social, a despeito das diferenças de métodos e de métricas dos autores em pauta. De Thomas Hobbes, recolhe-se a demonstração, com subjacência no raciocínio hipotético-dedutivo do filósofo inglês, de que, do indivíduo, palmilha-se à sociedade, do contrato que edifica o Estado, envereda-se à divisão do trabalho como uma das maneiras de estatuir o conforto necessário à manutenção da sociedade civil. De Norbert Elias, apanha-se a relação processual entre sociogênese e psicogênese que, sem opor indivíduo e sociedade, trata da formação da divisão do trabalho e da individualidade como fenômenos inseparáveis e peculiares ao processo civilizador.

Division of work and apology of the order in thomas hobbes and norbert elias

Abstract: The article exposes the assertive judgments made by Thomas Hobbes and Norbert Elias concerning the division of labor and its relations with the social order, despite the differences of methods and metrics of the authors in question. From Thomas Hobbes, the demonstration, based on the hypothetical-deductive reasoning of the English philosopher, is gathered from the demonstration that, from the individual, ingrained in society, from the contract that builds the State, the division of labor is divided as one of the ways of establishing the comfort necessary for the maintenance of civil society. From Norbert Elias, one picks up the procedural relation between sociogenesis and psychogenesis that, without opposing individual and society, deals with the formation of the division of labor and individuality as inseparable phenomena peculiar to the civilizing process.

Key-words: Division of labor. Social order. Thomas Hobbes. Norbert Elias.

Resenha do livro: ENKVIST, Inger. Educação: Guia para perplexos. Campinas-SP: Kirion, 2019. 142 p.

 Inger Enkvist é professora de literatura espanhola na Universidade de Lund, na Suécia e estudiosa das ideias pedagógicas e práticas educativas, com vasta publicação de ensaios e livros sobre o tema, analisando-o em suas aplicações em diferentes contextos. É conhecida por sua crítica às abordagens pedagógicas que se tornaram hegemônicas a partir da metade do século XX, as quais ela sintetiza sob o título de “ nova pedagogia”, contrastando-as com os pressupostos teóricos e práticas da chamada “pedagogia tradicional”. Na obra em análise, a autora procura esclarecer o conceito de “pedagogia tradicional” ou “educação tradicional” que, segundo ela, normalmente é apresentado de forma superficial, pejorativa e até caricatural. Remete-se à filosofia clássica para apresentar os fundamentos dessa tradição que já vem sendo negada desde que a educação passou a ser pensada dos pontos de vistas utilitarista e igualitarista, desde o século XIX, culminando na hegemonia de tais pressupostos em meados do século XX. Aponta a crise atual como, em grande parte, consequência dessa “nova” percepção. Nessa abordagem introdutória, propõe aos educadores o aprofundar-se no conhecimento dos conceitos e princípios educação tradicional, refletindo sobre as suas implicações práticas e os resultados obtidos por países que ainda os adotam. Realiza também uma avaliação dos pressupostos da “nova pedagogia” e as suas possíveis relações não apenas com os resultados da educação escolar, mas implicações sociais mais amplas. Aborda as diversas aplicações do conceito de educação e espaços onde ela é realizada, delimitando o seu enfoque a educação escolar e as suas relações. Discute os fundamentos epistemológicos da educação, o papel do professor, sua formação e postura profissional, as disciplinas escolares, seus objetivos e métodos de ensino e aprendizagem, bem como os papéis da instituição escolar, do aluno e a imprescindível colaboração da família. Aborda ainda a educação como política de Estado, refletindo sobre avaliações dos sistemas de ensino em diferentes contextos.

Enkvist (2019) discute inicialmente o conceito de educação em suas diversas aplicações e nos vários espaços de sua realização, enfatizando aquela que é produzida no âmbito da família e da escola. Nesse aspecto, apesar das diferenças de objetivos e fundamentação teórica, a abordagem lembra Brandão (2001), apontando quão amplo é este conceito e a diversidade de possibilidades de suas aplicações, sendo a educação escolar apenas uma delas. Mesmo sendo o objetivo da autora tratar especificamente da educação escolar, reconhece a necessidade de articular a sua abordagem aos outros aspectos e instituições relacionadas. Para ela, “a educação de um jovem é um projeto de colaboração entre o próprio jovem, a família, a escola e a sociedade” (p.71).

Lógica, formação escolar e filosofia entre os jesuítas
Resumo: O interesse mais direto deste artigo é a relação entre a Lógica e a formação filosófica na educação jesuíta. Para compor uma imagem da importância e da concreção da Lógica na formação proposta pelos inacianos, nós nos concentraremos na Ratio Studiorum e na obra do jesuíta português Pedro da Fonseca (1526-1599). A razão do recorte proposto é que as reflexões de Fonseca sobre o tema parecem, por um lado, orientar outros jesuítas, como é o caso de Sebastião do Couto, que é o autor da dialética do Curso Conimbricense; por outro, elas são mais completas, sobretudo pela atenção dada por Fonseca ao método e às disputationes. De posse do conceito de Lógica de Fonseca, concluímos com a indicação de caminhos contemporâneos de revisitação de lógicas do passado.

Logic, school education and philosophy among the Jesuits 
Abstract: The most direct interest of this article is the relationship between Logic and philosophical formation in Jesuit education. In order to produce an image of the importance and concretion of Logic in the formation proposed by the Ignatians, we will focus on the Ratio Studiorum and on the work of the Portuguese Jesuit Pedro da Fonseca (1526-1599). The reason for the proposed approach is that Fonseca's reflections on the subject seem, on the one hand, to guide other Jesuits, such as Sebastião do Couto, who is the author of the dialectic of Curso Conimbricense; on the other hand, Fonseca’s conception of logic is more complete regarding the other Jesuits, especially due to the attention given by our author to the method and the disputationes. In possession of Fonseca's Logic concept, we conclude with an indication of contemporary paths for revisiting the logics of the past.

Il motivo di questa scelta è che le riflessioni di Fonseca sull’argomento sembrano, da un lato, guidare gli altri gesuiti, come Sebastião do Couto, cioè, l’autore della dialettica del Curso Conimbricense; da l’altro, la concezione di logica di Fonseca è più completa riguardo ad’altri gesuiti, soprattutto per l’attenzione data dall’autore al metodo e alle disputationes. Possedendo il concetto di logica di Fonseca, concludiamo con l’indicazione di modi contemporanei di rivisitare le logiche del passato.
Parole chiave: logica ; metodo ; educazione ; gesuiti.

Who governs? Blank spots and blind spots in state boards of education in the United States
Authors: VanGronigen Bryan A. , Young Michelle D. , Rodriguez Kevin
Published: February 2022

State boards of education (SBOEs) are one of many governmental entities that reside within the larger educational policymaking sphere. With recent U.S. federal legislation devolving more authority over education to states, state-level governmental entities like SBOEs are in the spotlight perhaps now more than ever. Yet not much has been published about SBOE structures and functions, much less about their members and how they might influence educational policies and education broadly. Using critical policy analysis methods, this descriptive study focused on two areas: (a) the criteria and processes that states use to select SBOE members, and (b) the characteristics of today’s SBOE members (e.g., demographics) and the extent to which SBOEs are representative portraits of the states they serve. Findings report similarities and differences among members within and between the 47 U.S. states with SBOEs. We close by critically assessing our findings, especially whether SBOE member selection criteria and processes and SBOE members themselves are well-positioned to best represent their constituents.
Zitierungen sind nicht alles: Classroom Citation, Libcitation und die Zukunft bibliometrischer und szientometrischer Leistungsvergleiche
Authors: Tausch Arno
Published: February 2022

Der Beitrag soll zeigen, welche fortgeschrittenen bibliometrischen und szientometrischen Daten für ein bewährtes Sample von 104 österreichischen Politikwissenschaftler*innen und 51 transnationalen Verlagsunternehmen enge statistische Beziehungen zwischen Indikatoren der Präsenz von Wissenschaftler*innen und transnationalen Verlagsunternehmen in den akademischen Lehrveranstaltungen der Welt (Classroom Citation, gemessen mit Open Syllabus) und anderen, herkömmlicheren bibliometrischen und szientometrischen Indikatoren (Libcitation gemessen mit dem OCLC Worldcat, sowie der H-Index der Zitierung in den vom System Scopus erfassten Fachzeitschriften der Welt bzw. dem Book Citation Index) bestehen. Die statistischen Berechnungen zeigen, basierend auf den Faktorenanalysen, die engen statistischen Beziehungen zwischen diesen Dimensionen. Diese Ergebnisse sind insbesondere in den Tabellen 5 und 9 dieser Arbeit (Komponentenkorrelationen) ableitbar.

Die multivariaten Rankings, die auf den mit den Eigenwerten gewichteten Factorscores beruhen, zeigen in der Tabelle 6, welche 15 österreichischen Politikwissenschaftler*innen sich auf den Weltmärkten der Wissenschaften am besten bewährten. Außerdem zeigen diese Methoden in Tabelle 10 auch, dass die im Beitrag analysierten führenden akademischen Verlage der Welt insbesondere für Wissenschaftler*innen der jüngeren Generation gute Weggefährten sein werden, um in Zeiten institutioneller und finanzieller Unsicherheit die Ergebnisse der Wissenschaft verlässlich um den Globus zu verbreiten und die akademischen Karrieren zu befördern.
Die Zukunft der Kulturgutdigitalisierung an Landesbibliotheken am Beispiel der Badischen Landesbibliothek (BLB)
Authors: Schütte Jana Madlen
Published: February 2022

Die Kulturgutdigitalisierung gehört seit Jahren zum Kerngeschäft der Landesbibliotheken wie der BLB. Dabei lag der Fokus lange Zeit auf der Contentdigitalisierung von unikalem Material. Hinzu kamen regional interessante Bestände wie Adressbücher oder Landtagsprotokolle. Allerdings stellt sich zunehmend die Frage, ob die Aufgabe der Bibliotheken mit der reinen Imageproduktion schon erledigt ist. Am Beispiel der BLB sollen Zukunftsperspektiven aufgezeigt werden, die über die Contentproduktion hinausgehen. Dazu gehört neben der Anreicherung der Digitalisate durch Normdaten, Volltexte und Editionen die Einbindung in überregionale Portale, die Zusammenarbeit mit der Forschung bei ausgewählten Projekten, die Unterstützung kleinerer Einrichtungen und das Engagement in Citizen-Science-Projekten.
Validation of regional and global ionosphere maps from GNSS measurements versus IRI2016 during different magnetic activity
Authors: Sedeek Ahmed
Published: February 2022

This manuscript explores the divergence of the Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) estimated from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements using global, regional, and International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) models over low to high latitude regions during various magnetic activity. The VTEC is estimated using a territorial network consisting of 7 GNSS stations in Egypt and 10 GNSS stations from the International GNSS Service (IGS) Global network. The impact of magnetic activity on VTEC is investigated. Due to the deficiency of IGS receivers in north Africa and the shortage of GNSS measurements, an extra high interpolation is done to cover the deficit of data over North Africa. A MATLAB code was created to produce VTEC maps for Egypt utilizing a territorial network contrasted with global maps of VTEC, which are delivered by the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE). Thus we can have genuine VTEC maps estimated from actual GNSS measurements over any region of North Africa. A Spherical Harmonics Expansion (SHE) equation was modelled using MATLAB and called Local VTEC Model (LVTECM) to estimate VTEC values using observations of dual-frequency GNSS receivers. The VTEC calculated from GNSS measurement using LVTECM is compared with CODE VTEC results and IRI-2016 VTEC model results. The analysis of outcomes demonstrates a good convergence between VTEC from CODE and estimated from LVTECM. A strong correlation between LVTECM and CODE reaches about 96 % and 92 % in high and low magnetic activity, respectively. The most extreme contrasts are found to be 2.5 TECu and 1.3 TECu at high and low magnetic activity, respectively. The maximum discrepancies between LVTECM and IRI-2016 are 9.7 TECu and 2.3 TECu at a high and low magnetic activity. Variation in VTEC due to magnetic activity ranges from 1–5 TECu in moderate magnetic activity. The estimated VTEC from the regional network shows a 95 % correlation between the estimated VTEC from LVTECM and CODE with a maximum difference of 5.9 TECu.
Heads and Beds: On the Origin of the Akkadian Term for Eunuch or Courtier
Authors: Frazer Mary
Published: February 2022

Alongside the ongoing debate over whether the primary meaning of the Akkadian termša rēši(lit. “he of the head”) is “eunuch” or “courtier,” various explanations for the origin of the term have been proposed. After reviewing the seven explanations encountered in the secondary literature, and assessing their respective strengths and weaknesses, this article makes a new proposal for the origin of the term, namely that it refers to the “head” of the king’s bed. It is observed that this hypothesis is consistent: (i) with Akkadian terminology relating to parts of beds, which usesrēšu(m) to designate either a bed’s top end generally or its “headboard” specifically; (ii) with the perception, visible in Babylonian ritual texts, of the bed as a place of potential danger to its occupant; and (iii) with the Akkadian literary expressionmukīl rēši(“lit. keeper of the head”) which, by analogy with well-attested expressions likemukīl bābi(“keeper of the gate”) andmukīl appāti(lit. “keeper of the bridle”), is more likely to refer to an inanimate “head” than part of the human body. The possibility that the termša rēš(šarri) is equivalent to the Greek term εὐνοῦχος, as argued for example by (Briant, P. 1996.Histoire de l’empire Perse. De Cyrus à Alexandre. Paris: Fayard. = Briant, Pierre. 2000. From Cyrus to Alexander. A History of the Persian Empire. Translated from the French by Peter T. Daniels. Winona Lake IN: Eisenbrauns), has been questioned by (Lenfant, D. 2012. “Ctesias and his Eunuchs a Challenge for Modern Historians.”Histos6: 257–97), but if the newly proposed origin ofša rēšiis correct, it indirectly supports the case for an equivalency of the two terms: like εὐνοῦχος (lit. “bed-keeper”),ša rēšiwould literally refer to guardianship of the king’s bed. The new proposal nevertheless has no bearing on the debate over whetherša rēšiprimarily designates “eunuch” or “courtier.”
A transient analysis to the M(τ)/M(τ)/k queue with time-dependent parameters
Authors: El-Paoumy Mahdy Shibl , Alqawba Mohammed , Radwan Taha
Published: February 2022

This work considers the infinite multi-server Markovian queueing model with balking and catastrophes where the rates of arrivals, service, balking, and catastrophes are time dependent. The catastrophes arrive as negative customers to the system. The arrival of negative customers to a queueing system removes the positive customers. The catastrophes may come either from another service station or from outside the system. In this paper, we obtained the transient solution of this model using the approach of probability-generating function. Also, we derived an expression of transient probabilities in terms of Volterra equation of the second kind. Furthermore, we obtained a measure for time-dependent expected number of customers in the system.

Authors: Figiela Beata , Šimonová Hana , Korniejenko Kinga
Published: February 2022

The main aim of the article is to analyze the state of the art in short steel fiber-reinforced geopolymers, taking into consideration also waste fibers. Steel fibers are currently the most widely applied additive to composites in the building industry. The work is dedicated to the usage of short steel fibers and the mechanical properties of geopolymer composites. Research methods applied in the article are a critical analysis of the literature sources, including a comparison of the new material with other, traditional concrete materials used in similar applications, especially in the construction industry. The results of the research are discussed in a comparative context. They indicate that the addition of fibers is an efficient method not only for improving compressive and flexural strength, but also mechanical properties such as fracture toughness. The potential applications in the construction industry as well barriers and challenges for the effective application of geopolymer materials reinforced with steel fibers are presented. Further research directions are discussed.
Barometric Fluctuations and Duration of Variable-Head (Slug) Field Permeability Tests
Authors: Chapuis Robert P. , Marefat Vahid , Zhang Lu
Published: February 2022

Variable-head (VH) permeability tests are carried out in monitoring wells, driven permeameters, and between packers to assess local values of hydraulic conductivity. Most often, the water level position data are given versus time by a pressure transducer (PT) and an atmospheric pressure transducer (APT). Because the data vary with time, the PT and APT need to be synchronized. This article first shows what happens when a single correction for atmospheric pressure, patm, is used for all PT data for two slug tests, one in an aquifer, the other in an aquitard. Then, the article documents the patm fluctuation, including its maximum and minimum values during a given time, pmax and pmin, at a site and their statistical analysis for periods from 1 h up to 1 year, based on a 59-year data set. During a given time, the (pmax − pmin) value follows a lognormal distribution. For short testing times, typically less than 2 h, the patm value varies by less than 2 or 3 cm in 99 % of cases. The mean of the lognormal distribution increases with the observation time or test duration. The standard deviation is nearly constant for periods up to 30 days, and then decreases for periods from 1 month to 1 year. Synchronized data are needed to make a time-variable correction for all tests lasting more than 2 h, and the time-variable correction is the correct method for all slug tests, including short duration ones in aquifers.
