Authors: Kelling Claire , Haensch Anna , Mendible Ariana , Brooks Spencer , Wiedemann Alex , Aminian Manuchehr , Hasty Wade , Higdon Jude
Published: August 2023

According to the 2020 US Census more than 60% of the US population lives in towns with fewer than 50,000 residents, yet this is not in proportion with the research and public data surrounding policing, which focus on large and dense urban areas. One reason for this disparity is that studying small-town police departments presents unique obstacles. We present some of the challenges that we have encountered in studying small-town police activity such as data availability, quality, and identifiability, and our solutions to these challenges using computational tools. Finally, we give our recommendations in getting involved in this space based on our efforts to-date.

Berbicara mengenai teks-teks yang tersampaikan oleh seorang tokoh Sufi, begituTeks itu keluar dari lisannya dan diketahui oleh orang banyak. Maka, Teks itu menjadi konsumsipublik. karena Teks itu sudah masuk ruang public (Public Spehere menurut Jurgen Habermas)yaitu ruang publik politik dan ruang publik sastra.Lalu Teksnya tersebut menjelma, merasuki pembaca dan dalam disiplin Ilmu Komunikasi. Pesantersebut tidak dapat ditarik kembali “Interpersonal Communication Is Irreversible”. Teks tersebutseperti gelombang energi positif yang merasuk para penari-tarian mistis, energi itu mengalirkeseluruh tubuh hingga IA (Read; Tuhan YME) menggerakkan indera untuk bergerak, menarikdirinya dari Mikrokosmos ke inti Atom Makrokosmos lalu menjelma menjadi hal yang tak mampudi bayangkan.

ОСНОВНІ ВИЗНАЧЕННЯ ПОНЯТТЯ ДИГІТАЛЬНОГО ТІЛА В ДИГІТАЛЬНИХ СТУДІЯХ
Authors: Целковський Геннадій Анатолійович , Федоришин Василь Ілліч , Василенко Вікторія Станіславівна
Published: August 2023

У статті проводиться аналіз поняття «дигітальне тіло», що використовується в дигітальних студіях. Дигітальні студії є міждисциплінарним проектом з дослідження цифрової реальності як соціо-культурного феномену та поєднує в собі культурологічні, антропологічні, соціологічні, психологічні та філософські дослідження. Поняття «дигітального тіла» потребує пояснення та чіткого визначення, з відповідною опорою на методологію дигітальних студій. Теоретико-методологічне підґрунтя дефініції дигітального тіла полягає в постмодерністський критиці класичного уявлення про тіло та тілесне та проведення деконструкції тілесного як сталого фізичного обєкту, з відповідним розумінням його як культурний конструкт. В українській гуманітарістиці культурні явища цифрового простору тільки починають досліджуватися. Ці явища набувають атрибуції «дигітальне», тобто як таке що має цифрову природу та має віртуальний характер, подібними явищами є дигітальний простір, дигітальна свідомість, дигітальне тіло тощо. Застосування прикметника «дигітальний» вказує на природу явища, на його цифрову сутність, тобто є віртуальним і інформаційним знаком, який набув власного життя. Визначення «Дигітального тіла» автор пропонує на основі феноменологічного підходу, як складова досвіду присутності людини в цифровій реальності та його знаковій репрезентації в соціальних мережах та інтернеті. Цифровий досвід є особливим типом досвіду, що пов'язаний з присутністю у вигляді профайлу, різноманітною діяльністю – від творчості до комерції, споживанням медіа-контенту в інтернеті. Евристична цінність визначення поняття «дигітального тіла» дозволяє глибше зрозуміти феномен соціальних мереж, поведінки людини та є складовою теоретико-методологічного оформлення дигітальної культурології та антропології.

Published: August 2023

The article presents the results of the introduction into the educational and training process of the optimal distribution of loads, according to the author's concept, for female and male acrobatic pairs as a whole and taking into account their roles. Athletes, representatives of women's (n=49) and men's pair acrobatics (n=58), aged from 12 to 23, participated in the research. The level of sportsmanship of acrobats is beginners, sub-elite and elite athletes. In the traditional training system, studies of the amount of training loads of female and male acrobatic couples have revealed a discrepancy between the loads that are planned and those that are actually performed. Training loads of centralized meetings, competitive microcycles, as well as heterogeneous indicators of the degree and specificity of fatigue served as the basis for the development of load models (the author's concept) at the stages of multi-year improvement. In acrobats of female pairs, roles above/below, average statistical indicators by number of elements, by years of long-term training, distributed as follows (M±SD): educational and training groups 1st-2nd year - 310.65±25.12/345.34±29.16; 3-5 years – 370.75±28.37/400.96±31.48; groups of sports improvement – 410.94±26.28/432.84±28.06; 2-3 years – 450.66±29.32/470.38±29.73; higher sports skill groups – 500.98±31.87/522.23±30.74.

Authors: Horbenko Olena , Lysenko Albert
Published: August 2023

In this article, based on the analysis and systematisation of scientific research, the topical issues of the peculiarities of the methodology of judging competitions in sport dances and dance sport are considered. It is on the understanding of the sports judge of the criteria of the performance evaluation system that the objectivity of the evaluation of dancers during competitions in sport dances depends.

Analysis and generalization of experience shows that every sports dance and dance sport specialist with professional training as a judge must know: fundamentals of fundamental and special disciplines; program and directive documents in the field of Physical Education and Sport; specific features of subjective nature of refereeing; regulations on qualification categories of sports dance judges; rules of sports dance competitions in the full range of the main chapters; "SKYTING" score determination system; content of the basic principles of the sport dance competitions. And also it is necessary to know the methods of judging: a) Students in dance schools and medalists; b) athletes in training groups (N, E, D); c) athletes at the level of sport perfection (C, B, A); d) athletes of higher sport mastery (S, M).

The availability of a large amount of information is a prerequisite for the future career of a coach. This information must be correlated with the tasks and improved if necessary. First of all it is related to dance analysis and judging methodology.

The education of judges plays a big role in the dance world. In this aspect judging experience, big outlook in dance world is important; the more knowledge a judge has, the better and more precise he/she evaluates performing skills of dancers. Judges get quite a lot of information for themselves when preparing for the judging examinations to obtain the judging category.

Authors: Shesterova L. E. , Adzhametova L. I.
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of scientific and methodological literature on the problem of the structure of the training process of highly-qualified athletes with visual impairments. Over the past decades, Paralympic sports have shown a tendency to transfer the theoretical and methodological foundations of the training of Olympic athletes to disabled sports, which leads to the neglect of psychological, functional and morphological characteristics of Paralympic athletes. in the scientific and methodological literature, there are no studies aimed at studying the peculiarities of the structure of the training process of Paralympic athletes with visual impairments who have different sports qualifications. Information about highly qualified visually impaired athletes is fragmentary and isolated. Summarization literary sources shows that most of them are devoted to separate aspects of training and functional classification of paralympians. As a result of the study, the physiological features of athletes with visual impairments were revealed: low level of development of strength endurance, coordination and speed qualities, high energy expenditure during the performance of a motor task and rapid fatigue; inconsistency of circadian rhythms with changes in the activity of their body, which should be taken into account in the process of training people with visual impairments. It has been established that most coaches in the training process of sprinters with visual impairments are guided by the basic provisions of training athletes without visual impairments. The analysis of modern literature has shown the specificity of the organization of the training process of sprinters at various stages of training.

The aim of the study was to the determination of influence different concentrations of Silymarin on the rumen performance in 30 local lambs (divided into three groups of 10 lambs each). In the first and second groups, 420 and 210 mg kg-1 of silymarin were administered for 8 weeks, and the third group was the control, which received normal saline solution. The parameters evaluated included the level of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), ammonia and pH in the rumen. Furthermore, the in vitro digestibility of ash, protein, fat and dry matter was investigated. These parameters were examined fortnightly, for eight weeks. The results showed that the level of volatile fatty acids and pH increased in the rumen in G1 and G2 compared to the control group, while the level of ammonia decreased in the rumen in G1 and G2 when compared to G3 (p<0.05). Silymarin increased the in vitro digestibility of crude ash (CA), crude protein (CP), crude fat (CF) and crude dry matter (CDM) in the rumen of lambs. These results indicate that silymarin can improve the digestibility of nutrient elements in the lamb rumen.
Keywords: ammonia; digestibility; crude ash; crude protein; crude fat.

El cáncer de mama en mujeres es la principal causa de incidencia de cáncer a nivel mundial (1). Según datos de 2020 se estima unos 2,3 millones de casos nuevos, lo que representa el 11,7 % de todos los casos de cáncer con 685.000 muertes lo que la convierte en la quinta causa principal de cáncer mortalidad en el mundo (1).El costo en términos económicos y de salud del cáncer de mama es alto y aunque inicialmente se consideró un problema típico de los países de altos ingresos, la mayoría de los nuevos casos de cáncer en las últimas décadas se han presentado en países de bajos y medianos ingresos (2). La mortalidad también tiende a ser mayor en dichos países y una de las razones es que el cáncer tiende a diagnosticarse en etapas avanzadas, lo que puede deberse a la falta de posibilidades de detección temprana (3). De esto se deduce que los países de bajos ingresos deben implementar estrategias para reducir la carga del cáncer de mama. La mejor manera de evitar muertes secundarias al cáncer de mama es el diagnóstico y tratamiento temprano.

Gresik Regency is very rich in its typical food involving UMKM. They were still use many synthetic additives such as dyes, flavors, and flavorings with the aim of beautifying the appearance and strengthening the taste. The continuous use of synthetic additives can interfere with health and also many have not met halal criteria. They do not know or apathetic to the dangers posed by the use of additives, so it is necessary to carry out socialization related to healthy and halal ingredients. The methods used are counseling and practice of identifying ingredients based on nutritional composition and critical ingredients and conducting evaluations through response questionnaires. The results showed that 36.4% of participants did not know how to identify halal products; 36.5 – 45.5% still use synthetic additives and 90.9% their knew the effects of using synthetic additives. The practice showed that UMKM do not understand critical materials so that follow-up needs on understanding critical materials.

Published: August 2023

Image processing, power engineering, robotics, industrial automation etc., have all found successful uses for artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as artificial neural networks (ANN) and neuro-fuzzy logic (FL). In this study, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) modelling of machine learning (ML) has been implemented to estimate the tribological properties of functionally graded materials (FGM). These FGMs were developed using a direct energy deposition (DED) technique of additive manufacturing (AM) from SS316L and Co27Cr6Mo alloys. The input data for this ANFIS modelling is acquired from the experiments done on FGM samples using the Pin on Disc (PoD) apparatus. The main objective of this work is to predict the tribological parameters of FGM samples by creating a data-driven predictive model called ANFIS. From the findings, the ANFIS was found to be the efficient method to estimate the wear rate of FGM samples.

Published: August 2023

This paper proposes a Polar-coded neural damapper based 5G multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system for M transmitting and N receiving antenna, operating in a flat fading environment. MIMO is a spatial diversity scheme to improve channel performance and mitigate troubling fading issues in urban environments. A neural network-based smart demapper is considered instead of traditional demapper to improve the system's performance. Researchers have recently focused on developing complex neural network (NN)-based demapper on generating soft information for each transmitted bit. Neural demapper also increases spectral efficiency, meaning a symbol-to-bit demapper with higher complexity. This work considers a Polar-coded MIMO 5G communication system with 2×3, 2×4, 4×6 and 4×16 transmitting and receiving antennas, respectively, to evaluate the system performance under QAM modulation (4-QAM, 16-QAM, 256-QAM) techniques. It is evident from the simulated result that our proposed system performs better for lower-order modulation techniques with an increase in the number of transmitting and receiving antenna.
