Św. Augustyn a paradoks zła
Authors: Nowakowski Dawid
Published: August 2023

This article is an attempt of representing St. Augustine's struggle against the greatest problems of Christian ethics, namely, the problem of evil. After the introduction of the philosophical grounds of the problem, we will turn to the outline of the way the Bishop of Hippo has gone through in the quest of the rational explanations for the existence of evil. An analysis of Augustine's works has shown that he lost his hope to find any sensible answer to this question with the lapse of time, and abandoned himself to an almost blind faith. The Saint leaves us all by ourselves with this anxious question about evil.
"Recens-arche" filozofii Józefa Bańki
Authors: Nierodka Paweł
Published: August 2023

In my paper I raised the issue of time and focused on its recentivistic aspect. While discerning physical time from anthropological time I emphasized the meanings of "thymical" time. Such an aspect of time indicates not so much the relation of present time with the human as the direction of the lapse of time. Everything starts from and ends with our "now", our present as the only existing one. The recentivistic concept of time is a return to the source of philosophy, source of philosophic considerations about the existence in view of contemporary "blurring" of philosophic deliberations. "Escape from the present" drives the humans into the cave of life through the past of the wasted chances or the future of the envisaged successes. The principal thesis of the deliberations conducted says there is no existence, thoughts, world, and, finally, the very human being without recens. Without recens there is even no present which continues the time.
Podmiotowość ponowoczesna: wieloznaczność tożsamości czy tożsamość wieloznaczności. Propozycja Zygmunta Baumana
Authors: Richert Sebastian
Published: August 2023

In my research I will try to analyse Zugmunt Bauman reflection about human subject. This author applies rather identity than human subject, but I think we may admit Apple subjectivity instead of identity. Bauman's concept of model personality like a pilgrim on one hand and a stroller, vagabond and player on the other hand, link these categories of human subject. Identity of human subject is continually made "liquid" and has constant potency to change. In consequence, identity is an infinite aimless process because its main determinant – certainty of future connected with values (truth or worth) – are to distort. Does identity in postmodern age is just a wish, which is not realized? Does identity prop on conflict in human existence and never is constant? I will try to go through that and another question and possible answers within Bauman philosophy. In the contemporary debate we see a strong tendency to make a distance to Maxim description. The main problems like truth, subject or knowledge are used in its context. This intellectual climate depends on the basic modernist guidelines. The Cartesian model of cognition especially the strong possibility of cognition is challenged. Lyotard, Foucault, Rorty or Bauman support that tendency.
Fiodor Dostojewski: o ułomności ludzkiego poznania
Authors: Perkowska Iwona Magdalena
Published: August 2023

Fiodor Dostoyevsky in his oeuvre indicates certain attitudes, which are often recognized in the process of man's thinking and behavior. They are conditioned by the manner he perceives reality and they in themselves appoint simultaneously this way of world perception. Some of those occurrences resemble in a great manner the defense mechanisms, which are described in the later literature. A first mechanism that was analyzed is pursue simplification, which causes a man to believe that thanks to the achieved knowledge he will be able to set in order and fix imperfect reality. Such attitude enforces simplified vision of the world, which in turn helps in self-deception. Dostoyevsky's heroes have problems to recognize true motives of their own behaviors or they intentionally attribute nobler incentives to themselves. Therefore the next described attitude is reluctance to acknowledge the truth. The Russian writer rejects generally accepted disjunctivity of the 'truth and false' category and he attributes the final might to acknowledge something as true or false to the man's will. On account of innate laziness and refractoriness, man chooses the simplest solutions, which in point of fact dismiss possibility to see real reasons for all failures. It makes impossible to undertake activities, which could indeed change something. Man is characterized by irresponsibility for his actions and words. A word looses its causative meaning and becomes purely a decoration, an ornament. All these make that learning the truth, as one of the elements propelling development of the philosophy, was not impossible but it was unwanted.
Frege a Wittgenstein. Uwagi o fiasku korespondencyjnego dialogu
Authors: Rygalski Andrzej
Published: August 2023

The letters that were found after years are the evidence of hard intellectual work that had been conducted under very infavourable conditions. They refer to the time when Wittgenstein was writing "Tractatus" while Frege was working on his articles "Thought" and "Negation". Correspondence between Frege and Wittgenstein prove the common will of communication and mutual understanding. Thus remains the question why those two close and well known to each other thinkers have not realized that willingness.
Fenomenologiczna "Zasada wszelkich zasad" jako odejście od Kantowskiej koncepcji czysto dyskursywnego charakteru intelektu
Authors: Jeziorski Marcin
Published: August 2023

Within the content of the following paper I aim to reveal some epistemological benefits, related to Husserl's concept of an eidetic intuition. In order to do so, I refer to Kant's radical division of the subject's cognitive activity into two main epistemic faculties, namely intuition, which – according to Kant's statements – may be just empirical, and being strictly and only discursive intellect. Having presented it I further proceed to describe certain difficulties, being the result of the rejection of possibility of an intuitive use of intellect, such as the objective validity of cognizing an apriorical forms, or the process of creating an empirical notions. Finally I refer to Husserl's acceptation of an eidetic intuition, being – according to my opinion – the only way of solving all the problems presented above.

Authors: Aravind S. Ashokh , Somasundaram E. , Sanbagavalli S. , Kavitha P.S. , Venkatachalam S.R. , Sunitha R.
Published: August 2023

Background: Cassava is an important tropical tuber crop with great potential, particularly for short-duration varieties. Understanding the impact of nutrient management practices on the growth and yield of cassava is crucial for improving its productivity. Methods: Field experiments were conducted at Tapioca and Castor Research Station, Yethapur, Salem in 2022-2023 to determine the effect of various nutrient management practices on the growth attributes, biomass production, dry matter distribution and yield characteristics of short-duration cassava. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with twelve treatments and three replications. Results: The integrated nutrient management practice of FYM @ 25 t ha-1 + 100% RDF + cassava booster spray (T10) resulted in higher crop growth, dry matter production, yield attributes, tuber yield and top yield. This was comparable with the organic practice of Wood ash @ 2 t ha-1 + 3% panchagavya foliar spray (T7) among other organic practices. The control treatment with no manures, fertilizers or foliar sprays recorded lower growth and yield. The positive correlation between growth and yield attributes and yield was also observed. In conclusion, the application of FYM @ 25 t ha-1 + 100% RDF + cassava booster spray and Wood ash @ 2 t ha-1 + 3% panchagavya foliar spray were effective in improving the growth and yield of short-duration cassava. From the study, it is also evident that the short-duration cassava is suitable for organic cultivation and can be integrated into existing cropping systems.
Margarita Nelken y Anna Seghers. Telarañas de intriga y espionaje
Authors: Linhard Tabea Alexa
Published: August 2023

Este artículo comienza con un encuentro entre Margarita Nelken y Anna Seghers en Valencia, en 1937. Ellas volverían a coincidir en México, donde ambas se exiliaron, pero la relación entre las dos escritoras judías estuvo marcada por la desconfianza: algunas fuentes indican que Nelken, anteriormente acusadade haber sido agente de la KGB, también fue una informante para el FBI, agencia que mantuvo vigilada a Seghers durante su exilio mexicano. La investigación se centra en lo que implica la posibilidad de que Nelken haya estado involucrada en actos de espionaje. A lo largo de su vida, Nelken tuvo que enfrentarse a repetidas acusaciones de conspiración y traición, acusaciones que venían de una derecha que la aborrecía y de una izquierda que desconfiaba de ella. La historia de Nelken, por lo tanto, muestra que lo que Edward Said denomina la “soledad del exilio”, viene marcada por el género.
Transtierro y destierro en El eslabón perdido, de Luisa Carnés
Authors: Vanden Berghe Kristine
Published: August 2023

Este artículo analiza El eslabón perdido, una novela que la escritora española Luisa Carnés escribió durante su exilio mexicano. Se explorará en qué medida el narrador del relato, un profesor llamado Alcántara, da cuenta de su intención de trazar nexos entre España y México y hasta qué punto aprovecha (o no) las condiciones existentes a fin de delinear entidades territoriales alternativas. Empezaremos centrándonos en los valores que defiende y denuesta para, en un segundo momento, demostrar cómo encarna la figura del desterrado tal y como la conceptualizó otro exiliado español en México, José Gaos, en contraste con la del transterrado. Por último, nos haremos la pregunta de cuán parecido puede ser el narrador a la autora.
Angelina Muñiz-Huberman en diálogo con Hannah Arendt y Máximo José Kahn: identidades del refugiado hispanojudío en El sefardí romántico (2005)
Authors: Houvenaghel Eugenia Helena
Published: August 2023

En este ensayo se analiza la novela de Angelina Muñiz-Huberman desde el sentido de la marginación social, étnica y cultural que sufrieron los exiliados españoles con raíces sefaradíes. Como lo asegura la novelista, “la llegada de los refugiados españoles republicanos a México tuvo sus bemoles. No fue tan alegre como se ha pretendido. Ni tan fácil ni tan aceptada por la población. Ni tan agradable ni tan benevolente”. Se hace una interpretación cultural de los diferentes niveles semánticos que las palabras “exiliado” y “refugiado” adquieren en El sefardí romántico (2005) y que ponen en evidencia el proceso de transculturación que padecieron algunos migrantes españoles del exilio republicano simbolizado en el personaje histórico José Kahn.
Providing Patients Caffeinated Coffee in PICUS
Authors: Parker Caroline
Published: August 2023

Caffeine is a legally available, widely consumed psychoactive substance with mild central nervous system stimulant properties. There is sufficient caffeine in a cup of coffee to have a stimulant effect. Caffeine can adversely affect some mental health symptoms, notably sleep and anxiety.
Effects would be worse if consumed excessively. This survey aimed to describe the pattern of provision of caffeinated coffee to patients admitted to UK adult psychiatric intensive care units (PICUs) in order to inform local practice. All NHS adult PICUs across the UK were contacted to establish
what type of coffee they routinely provided to their patients. Two thirds of PICUs provided only decaffeinated instant coffee to their patients. However, a minority provided caffeinated coffee in an unregulated manner, including three units which did not routinely offer decaffeinated coffee.
National guidance to inform and direct the practice of providing or restricting the consumption of drinks containing psychoactive substances on a PICU may be beneficial.
Changes in partnership quality after successful in-vitro fertilization and natural conception
Authors: Kiesswetter Manuel , Danay Erik , Duschek Stefan
Published: August 2023

Objective: This prospective study explored changes in self-reported partnership quality related to childbirth in couples after successful in-vitro fertilization (IVF), and in those experiencing spontaneous pregnancy.
Background: Previous research suggested decline in partnership satisfaction after childbirth in couples with spontaneous pregnancy. However, longitudinal studies on partnership quality in couples undergoing IVF are still scarce.
Method: Seventy-five couples with successful IVF, and seventy with spontaneous pregnancy, completed the Partnership Questionnaire; data were recorded before pregnancy (baseline) and 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after childbirth. Multi-level models were applied for data analysis.
Results: Reports of general partnership quality, feelings of togetherness and experience of tenderness increased, while reports of conflictive behaviors declined overall across the observation period in couples with IVF. Couples with spontaneous pregnancy indicated marked negative changes in these facets of partnership quality after childbirth (month 6); subsequently, partnership quality progressively improved, reaching a similar level to that of couples with IVF at month 24.
Conclusion: While couples with IVF reported an overall positive trend in partnership quality, in couples with spontaneous pregnancy partnership quality declined immediately after childbirth but improved again over time. The experiences of infertility and IVF treatment may promote the acquisition of dyadic coping strategies, which can buffer the negative effects of stressors characterizing the initial period of parenthood. Moreover, selection processes may be important for higher partnership quality in couples with successful IVF, where couples with abundant coping resources are more likely to stay together during infertility and the burdensome treatment.
O processo de inclusão em educação no contexto da pandemia: desafios da formação docente numa perspectiva inclusiva
Authors: Martins Elita , Antunes Katiuscia Cristina  Vargas , Santiago Mylene Cristina
Published: August 2023

Neste artigo, buscamos refletir sobre o processo de inclusão educacional no contexto da pandemia, problematizando o papel da universidade diante dos desafios da formação docente numa perspectiva inclusiva. A pandemia nos forçou a adotar como principal estratégia o ensino remoto emergencial, transpondo, para o ambiente virtual, desafios enfrentados no presencial quanto à inclusão e acessibilidade de pessoas que, por possuírem alguma deficiência ou outra necessidade educativa especial, enfrentam barreiras no ambiente escolar. Acreditamos que não podemos seguir adiante sem levar em conta as consequências que o ensino remoto nos trouxe. Assim, neste artigo, interessa-nos focalizar como se potencializaram os processos de exclusão daqueles alunos que, mesmo no ensino presencial, já enfrentavam barreiras à aprendizagem e participação, seja em razão das metodologias de ensino, seja em razão da organização curricular, da avaliação, da falta de conhecimento dos professores para responder às necessidades educacionais especiais dos estudantes e da organização dos espaços e tempos escolares. A realidade que se impôs nesse momento, somada ao histórico da formação docente no Brasil, mostrou-nos a urgência de a universidade promover e recriar propostas formativas que contemplem as questões relativas ao processo de inclusão em educação. Como demonstramos no texto, a extensão universitária, pela via da metodologia colaborativa, pode ser um espaço rico para refletir outras possibilidades de ensinar e aprender.
“Por que você não pode ser normal?”: gênero, infâncias e currículos culturais na animação Float (2019)
Authors: Moraes Bernardo Kauane , Baliscei João Paulo
Published: August 2023

Por meio da animação “Float” (2019), um curta-metragem produzido pela Pixar e distribuído pela Disney, somos motivados/as a pensar sobre os fatores que tentam padronizar comportamentos. O curta, então, atua como um currículo cultural não escolar que remete à ideia de “normalidade”, a qual tem sido relacionada ao masculino, à branquitude, à jovialidade, à heterossexualidade, à cisgeneridade e à religião cristã, dentre outros marcadores identitários. Como as crianças que não se enquadram nessas condições acerca de “normalidade” são tratadas pelos/as demais? Para respondermos a esta pergunta, objetivamos analisar representações circuladas em artefatos da cultura visual, que contemplem temáticas afetas às diferenças e às infâncias. Para tanto, elaboramos uma pesquisa a partir dos Estudos de Gênero e Estudos da Cultura Visual, organizada em três momentos. O primeiro, uma apresentação de aspectos teóricos dando ênfase ao currículo cultural; o segundo, uma contextualização histórica sobre como as opressões de gênero têm atuado na produção de corpos, desde as infâncias; e o terceiro, uma análise do curta-metragem “Float” (2019).
Divisão sexual do trabalho e sua relação com a ciência, tecnologia e educação
Authors: Carmo Jefferson Carriello do , Espíndola Helena Setsuko Del Mastro
Published: August 2023

O objetivo do artigo é identificar a relação entre a ciência, a tecnologia e o trabalho no ambito da Divisão Sexual do Trabalho, com destaque para as implicações dessa relação para os campos do trabalho e da educação. O procedimento metodológico adotado foi bibliográfico, que consistiu em identificar dados e informações embasadas em literatura especializada sobre conceitos teóricos que relatam o tema. Este procedimento, ainda, assumiu uma atitude exploratória de caráter analítico e interpretativo. Por meio desse procedimento, foi possível identificar, nos âmbitos quantitativo e qualitativo, a ascensão das mulheres na carreira dentro da ciência, da tecnologia e do trabalho, mas também a forte masculinização dos cursos de tecnologia, por meio dos princípios primordiais da divisão sexual do trabalho: o da separação entre trabalho e conhecimento de acordo com o sexo e a hierarquização, em que o trabalho realizado majoritariamente pelo homem possui maior valorização social e financeira.

O presente artigo é um recorte de uma pesquisa de doutorado e tem como objetivo apresentar algumas políticas de educação aos privados de liberdade e discutir os desafios dos professores de se educar em contexto do sistema prisional. Iniciamos problematizando a experiencia de se estar entre as grades e as paredes da prisão, com foco nos privados de liberdade. Apresentaremos algumas políticas articuladas à educação nas prisões brasileiras e a escola como espaço de ressocialização. Por fim, trazemos o professor e os desafios de se educar na contemporaneidade e em sistema prisional, considerando que compreender e valorizar as diferenças requer ressignificações de saberes, experiências, vivências, concepções para aprender e ensinar em contextos de currículos abertos, vivos, complexos e diversos que emergem na Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) e com os privados de liberdade. Muitos são os desafios enfrentados pelos professores que desenvolvem este trabalho docente, como refletir sobre sua prática constantemente, valorizando aspectos da inclusão, da autonomia, além de formar-se e formar o outro em espaços de trocas e de diálogos. Considerar que os privados de liberdade também são representantes e pertencentes da sociedade em que estamos inseridos é indispensável.
Risk Factor Analysis of Filariasis in Pidie Regency
Authors: Maifrizal Maifrizal , Teuku Reza Ferasyi  , Fahmi Ichwansyah
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Pidie Regency is a regency in Aceh Province with the second-highest number of filariasis patients in 2020. One of the risk factors for filariasis is the presence of stagnant water near houses which serves as the breeding ground and resting place for mosquitoes. Other risk factors for filariasis include the type of work, habit of leaving the house, and increased mosquito density. Methods: This quantitative study used a case-control study design. The participants of this study consisted of 126 individuals with 63 being filariasis patients (case subjects) and 63 being non-filariasis patients (control subjects). Results and Discussion: The results showed that education (OR = 3.86, p = 0.05), type of work (OR = 1.30, p > 0.05), presence of stagnant water (OR = 1.05, p > 0.05), and habit of leaving the house (OR = 1.4, p > 0.05) had significant relationships with the incidence of filariasis or elephantiasis in Pidie Regency in 2022. Conclusion: The results showed that education was the most significant risk factor for filariasis (OR = 60.87). This suggested that individuals with a lower level of education had a higher chance of contracting the disease. Another factor that influenced the incidence of filariasis was the presence of animals around the house (OR = 18.97). This suggested that individuals who had pets were 60.87 times more likely to get filariasis (p = 0.017).
Literature Review: Relationship of Environmental Risk Factors and the Incidence of Leptospirosis in Settlements (2018–2023)
Authors: Nafiah Farisan Nuha  , Nuur Anisa Aprilianintyas  , Dian Novitasari
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Leptospirosis is zoonotic disease that transmits via natural transmission from vertebrate animals to human beings and vice versa. This disease is caused by an infection of the Leptospira sp. bacterium. It is estimated that there are 1 million cases of Leptospirosis that attack humans worldwide with 60 thousand deaths per year. In Indonesia, such cases and death rates have fluctuated. In 2021, there was a decrease in cases, but the CFR rate increased from 9.1% to 11.4%. Leptospirosis cases become endemic in many countries, especially in tropical and subtropical areas with high rainfall, especially in settlements with poor environmental conditions. Based on previous research, there were differences in the results between several research variables with the incidence of Leptospirosis. This gap underlies the writing of this article to bring together the existing results. Discussion: This study used literature review method for research articles on biotic and abiotic environmental risk factors with Leptospirosis in settlements sourced from scientific publication websites. After going through these stages, 14 final full text articles were obtained. The data used were research studies conducted from January 2018 to April 2023. The articles found show that environmental factors are closely related to the incidence of Leptospirosis in settlements. Conclusion: The variable abiotic environment factors associated with the occurrence of Leptospirosis are temperature, pH, the presence of sewers and puddles. The presence of rats and the presence of animals or livestock are related to biotic environmental factors.

Authors: Sanjani Resi Raf , Jati Sri Nugroho , Trisnawati Elly , Lestari Widya
Published: August 2023

The differences in emotional handling between male and female adolescents lead to differences in the way of thinking, feeling, and behaving. This experimental research used the Emotional Experience Writing (EXPRIT) model as an intervention for 15 orphans (8 male adolescents from the Tunas Melati Orphanage and 7 female adolescents from Tunas Harapan Orphanage in Pontianak City aged 12-18 years). There were rapport-building sessions at the start of the study as well as five intervention sessions. Qualitative data were collected by coding techniques on the subject's writing, and The Emotional Handling Scale was used to collect quantitative data. The data analysis is using paired t test. This study revealed differences in emotional handling abilities between the two groups of adolescents based on gender. The t test scores were higher than the t table in both orphanages. This result shows that the EXPRIT model as an intervention, affects the ability to deal with emotions for both genders in the form of different models of emotional control.

Published: August 2023

Informal caregivers are usually uncertain about the recovery and life expectancy improvement of schizophrenic patients.  This study aimed to determine Quran recitation listening therapy's effectiveness in increasing optimism in schizophrenia informal caregivers. Optimism was measured using the Life Orientation Test-Revision (LOT-R) developed by Scheier, Carver, and Bridges. Quran recitation listening therapy was conducted using the tartil method. The Qori’ recited surah Ar-Rahman with and without interpretation for experimental groups 1 and 2 comprising informal caregivers. Furthermore, hypotheses were tested quantitatively with the Wilcoxon analysis technique to determine the effect of the Quran recitation listening therapy on optimism. The results showed that Quran recitation listening therapy with and without interpretation effectively increased informal caregivers' optimism. The finding justified the theory that Islamic religious intervention in the Quran recitation listening therapy with and without interpretation effectively increases optimism

Published: August 2023

This study aims to determine the government’s attempt to address the criminal action of smuggling the protected wildlife that occurs through Indonesian territorial waters. Indonesia’s nature which is touted as Mega-Biodiversity by the world is not immune from smuggling crimes which lead to illegal trade of protected wild animals. Not infrequently, this particular illegal activity is carried out by sea as one of the trade route. With the development of modes and cases of smuggling crimes that threaten the survival of protected wildlife, this raises the question of what efforts can be made by the government in handling the crime of smuggling protected wildlife through Indonesian territorial waters. This is a normative juridical research by using statutory approach. This study concludes that in dealing with the development of criminal modes in smuggling which often increase the number of cases, the government has taken preventive measures in the form of issuing laws, establishing supervisory bodies and international scale cooperation as well as repressive efforts in the form of imposing sanctions on perpetrators who have caught in the course of smuggling.

Not all areas which are the jurisdiction of the Public Prosecutor can provide facilities and infrastructure in law enforcement based on Legal Psychology.
Analisis Penolakan Gugatan Ganti Kerugian dalam Penggabungan Perkara Tindak Pidana Korupsi Juliari P. Batubara (Perspektif Teori Hukum Progresif)
Authors: Tri Wahyuono Firman
Published: August 2023

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed the corruption case committed by Juliari P Batubara and 4 other people related to the procurement of Social Aid (BANSOS) for handling COVID-19. As many as 18 residents of West Jakarta and North Jakarta through the YLBHI victim advocacy team filed a combined lawsuit for compensation for the corruption case against Juliari P Batubara. This study aims to analyze the position of the victim in a corruption case and analyze the rejection of a claim for compensation in the corruption case of Juliari P Batubara by using progressive legal theory. This is a normative legal research that uses case, statutory and conceptual approaches. This study concludes that the position of the victim in a corruption case is divided into 2 types. That is, the direct victim is the state and the indirect victim that is subsequently divided into two more, namely the indirect an sich victim which is the community and the victim of reports on someone suspected of committing a criminal act of corruption. In the view of progressive law, the panel of judges examining the corruption case of Juliari P Batubara was shackled by legalistic-positivistic thinking in applying the provisions for merging cases contained in the Criminal Procedure Code. The panel of judges did not see that the lawsuit for compensation filed by the community was an attempt to obtain their full rights, bearing in mind that corruption was perpetrated against BANSOS funds in the face of the non-natural national disaster COVID-19 which caused a decline in people’s purchasing power and even a weakening of the national economy. This research suggests reformulation of Articles 98 – 101 of the Criminal Procedure Code regarding merging cases for compensation claims, so that procedures are simplified and accelerated recovery of victims of criminal acts can be achieved.

Published: August 2023

Database design requires a structured database design, because the database contains data or information. The design method of the database design determines the structure of the designed design. Database design have two methods, either native or object-oriented method. Native database design has two stages, it is Data Flow Dia-gram and Entity Relationship Diagram, where as if it is object-oriented design using use case diagrams. It is ac-companied by class diagrams. Native designs tend to be more unstructured than object-oriented design. Native design focuses more on entity flow while object-oriented design focuses on database design entities. Another ad-vantage of using object-oriented design is the ease of explaining the database design to the client because of the simple design so that it can be easily understood. The method used in this research is prototype and relational algebra. The prototyping method is a technique to collect certain information about the user's information needs appropriately. This research focuses on comparing the native and object-oriented design.

Authors: Prasetiadi Agi , Saputra Julian , Ramadhanti Imada , Sripamuji Asti Dwi , Amalia Risa Riski
Published: August 2023

The Tangut script, a lesser-explored dead script comprising numerous characters, has received limited attention in deep learning research, particularly in the field of optical character recognition (OCR). Existing OCR studies primarily focus on widely-used characters like Chinese characters and employ deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or combinations with recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to enhance accuracy in character recognition. In contrast, this study takes a counterintuitive approach to develop an OCR model specifically for the Tangut script. We utilize shorter layers with slimmer filters using a depthwise separable convolutional neural network (DSCNN) architecture. Furthermore, we preprocess the dataset using a frequency-based transformation, namely the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). The results demonstrate successful training of the model, showcasing faster convergence and higher accuracy compared to traditional deep neural networks commonly used in OCR applications.

Enhancing Energy Efficiency and Fast Decision-Making for Medical Sensors in Healthcare Systems: An Overview and Novel Proposal
Authors: Almudayni Ziyad , Soh Ben , Li Alice
Published: August 2023

In the realm of the Internet of Things (IoT), a network of sensors and actuators collaborates to fulfill specific tasks. As the demand for IoT networks continues to rise, it becomes crucial to ensure the stability of this technology and adapt it for further expansion. Through an analysis of related works including Feedback-based Optimized Fuzzy Scheduling Approach (FOFSA) algorithm, Adaptive Task Allocation Technique (ATAT) and Osmosis Load Balancing algorithm (OLB), we identify their limitations in achieving optimal energy efficiency and fast decision-making. To address these limitations, this research introduces a novel approach to enhance the processing time and energy efficiency of IoT networks. The proposed approach achieves this by efficiently allocating IoT data resources in the Mist layer during the early stages. We apply the approach to our proposed system known as the Mist-based Fuzzy Healthcare System (MFHS) that demonstrates promising potential to overcome the existing challenges and pave the way for efficient Industrial Internet of Healthcare Things (IIoHT) of the future.
Influence of Bioadditives of Plant Origin on Selected Properties of Low-Emission Alkaline-Activated Binders

Published: August 2023

The production associated with geopolymers is more environmentally friendly because it does not emit as much carbon dioxide as when OPCs are used. In addition, research has been initiated to produce a geopolymer with very good mechanical properties without the need to cure it at high temperatures. Bio-additives such as honey, cotton or molasses were found to have a good effect on the properties of the geopolymer.
The purpose of this study was to develop a composition of geopolymer modified with bioaddi-tives (introduction of plant-derived materials containing sugars) in order to improve the strength para-meters of geopolymers cured at ambient temperature or to accelerate their setting process, and to identify whether it is possible to produce geopolymers with good strength parameters without the need for annealing. In this study, fly ash (FA)-based materials were made and addi-tionally modified with cane molasses and beet molasses in varying amounts. The made samples were subjected to surface morphology analysis (SEM), mechanical properties analysis - compres-sive and flexural strengths, phase composition analysis (XRD) and absorption analysis.

Although learning analytics (LA) holds great potential to improve teaching and learning, LA research and practice are currently riddled with limitations that impact every stage of the LA life cycle. The present paper offers an overview of these challenges before proposing strategies to overcome them and exploring how the recent innovations brought forth by language models can improve LA research and practice. In particular, we encourage the empowerment of teachers during LA development, as this would strengthen the theoretical foundation of LA solutions and increase their interpretability and usability. Furthermore, we provide examples of how process data can be used to understand learning processes and generate more interpretable LA insights. Furthermore, we explore how LLMs could come into play in LA to generate interpretable insights, timely and actionable feedback, increase personalization, and support teachers’ tasks more broadly.

Due to the influence of background conditions, lighting conditions, occlusion issues and the image resolution, how to extract robust person features is one of the difficulties in ReID research. Vision in Transformers (ViT) has achieved significant results in the field of computer vision. However, the existing problems still limit its application in ReID due to slow extraction of person features and difficulty in utilizing local features of people. To solve the mentioned problems, we utilize Pyramid Vision Transformer (PVT) as the backbone of feature extraction and propose a PVT-based ReID method in conjunction with other studies. Firstly, some improvements suitable for ReID are used on the PVT backbone, and we establish a basic model by using powerful methods verified on CNN-based ReID. Secondly, in an effort to further promote the robustness of the person features extracted by the PVT backbone, two new modules are designed. (1) The local feature clustering (LFC) is recommend to enhance the robustness of person features by calculating the distance between local features and global feature to select the most discrete local features and clustering them. (2) The side information embeddings (SIE) are used to encode non-visual information and send it into the network for training to reduce its impact on person features. Finally, the experiments show that PVTReID has achieved excellent results in ReID datasets and are 20% faster on average than CNN-based ReID methods.

Bimetallic (or multimetallic) catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool in modern chemical synthesis, offering improved reaction control and versatility. This review focuses on the recent de-velopments in bimetallic sequential catalysis for the synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles, essential building blocks in pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. The cooperative action of two (and sometimes more) different metal catalysts enables intricate control over reaction pathways, enhancing selectivity and efficiency of N-heterocyclic compounds synthesis. By activating less reactive substrates, this multimetal catalytic strategy opens new synthetic possibilities for challenging compounds. The use of catalytic materials in bimetallic systems reduces waste and improves atom efficiency, aligning with green chemistry principles. With a diverse range of metal combinations and reaction conditions, bimetallic catalysis provides access to a broad array of N-heterocyclic compounds with various functionalities. This paper highlights the significant progress made in the past decade in this topic, emphasizing the promising potential of bimetallic catalysis in drug discovery and the fine chemical industries.

Pleural mesothelioma (PM) comprises three main subtypes: epithelioid, biphasic and sarcomatoid, which have a different impact on prognosis and treatment definition. However, PM subtyping can be complex given the inter- and intra-tumour morphological heterogeneity. We aim to use immunohistochemistry (IHC) to evaluate five markers (Mesothelin, Claudin-15, Complement Factor B, Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1, and p21-activated Kinase 4), whose encoding genes have been previously reported as deregulated among PM subtypes. Immunohistochemical expressions were determined in a case series of 73 PMs, and cut-offs for the epithelioid and non-epithelioid subtypes were selected. Further validation was performed on an independent cohort (30 PMs). For biphasic PM, the percentage of the epithelioid component was assessed, and IHC evaluation was also performed on the individual components separately. Mesothelin and Claudin-15 showed a good sensitivity (79% and 84%) and specificity (84% and 73%) for the epithelioid subtype. CFB and PAK4 had an inferior performance, with higher sensitivity (89% and 84%), but lower specificity (64% and 36%). In the biphasic group, all markers showed a different expression when comparing epithelioid with sarcomatoid areas. Mesothelin, Claudin-15 and CFB can be useful in subtype discrimination. PAI1 and PAK4 can improve component distinction in biphasic PM.

This study aimed to present a systematic meta-analysis examining the association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, hemoglobin A1c levels, and the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus. The initial search identified 451 articles related to the association between H. pylori infection and T1DM. Among them, 14 articles had 2,971 participants meeting the inclusion criteria for advanced meta-analysis. A significant association was observed between H. pylori infection and T1DM, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.87 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.27–2.78, p = 0.002). A subgroup analysis on H. pylori status showed that a longer duration of diabetes diagnosis and higher hemoglobin A1c levels were significantly associated with H. pylori infection (p < 0.001 for both). However, there was no significant association between H. pylori infection and the diagnostic age of diabetes (p = 0.306). These findings contribute to the understanding of the association between H. pylori infection and T1DM, thereby highlighting the potential role of H. pylori in influencing the duration and glycemic control of diabetes.
Fine Flow Structure at the Miscible Fluids Contact Domain Boundary in the Impact Mode of Free-Falling Drop Coalescence

Registration of the flow pattern fine structure and the matter distribution of a free falling liquid drop in a target fluid at rest in the impact mode of coalescence, when the kinetic energy of the drop exceeds its available potential surface energy (APSE), was carried out by photo and video recording. The main attention was paid to the study of the flow structure at the initial stage of the cavity formation. To carry out color registration, the flow pattern was illuminated by several matrix LED and fiber optic sources of constant light. The planning of experiments and interpretation of the results were based on the properties of the complete solutions of the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics system, including the transfer and conversion of energy processes. Complete solutions of the system of equations describe large-scale flow components that are waves or vortices as well as thin jets (ligaments, filaments, fibers, trickles). In experiments, the jets are accelerated by the converted available potential surface energy (APSE) when the free surfaces of merging fluids were eliminated. The experiments were performed with the coalescence of water, solutions of alizarin ink, potassium permanganate, copper sulphate or iron sulphate drops in deep water. In all cases, at the initial contact, the drop begins to lose its continuity and breaks up into a thin veil and jets, the velocity of which exceeds the drop contact velocity. Small droplets, the size of which grows with time, are thrown into the air from spikes at the jet tops. On the surface of the liquid, the fine jets leave colored traces that form linear and reticular structures. Part of the jets penetrating through the bottom and wall of the cavity forms an intermediate covering layer. The forming layer jets are separated by interfaces of the target fluid. The processes of molecular diffusion equalize the density differences and form an intermediate layer with sharp boundaries in the target fluid. All noted structural features of the flow are also visualized when a fresh water drop isothermally spreads in the same tap water. The fast-changing and finely structured diffuse boundary of merging fluids, which at the initial stage has a complex and irregular shape, is gradually smoothed out by molecular diffusion processes. The similar flow patterns were observed in all performed experiments, however the geometric features of the flow depend on the individual thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the contacting fluids.
