Research on the Color Evolution and Brush Development of Landscape Painting
Authors:   Global Knowledge and Convergence Association, F F
Published: January 2024

Landscape painting was independent from figure painting in the Sui Dynasty of China. At first, it was “Blue-and-Green Landscape” which was characterized with color expression. It matured in the Tang Dynasty and developed in the Song Dynasty. Then, the literati painters in the Tang Dynasty pioneered literati painting, with “Light Crimson Landscape” or “Ink Landscape” to lead landscape painting from realism to freehand, and established a combination of poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal. Then the literati in the Song Dynasty lent sparkle to the replacement of heavy green color with light crimson ink painting, and that became the mainstream of landscape painting. On this basis, the Yuan Dynasty painters developed a complete landscape painting formula, pushing the landscape expression to the peak. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, imitating the ancient style dominated the landscape painting world. At the same time, some painters pursued originality, forming the situation that the two forces were opposed in the same literati painting category. In modern times, due to the influence of Western culture, the traditional landscape painting has undergone great changes, and the new social life has prompted major changes in the content, form and method of landscape painting creation. Traditional techniques are combined with scientific modeling while ink and color complement each other, and the development of landscape painting has presented a diversified, rich, positive and prosperous appearance.
A Study on China’s Lingnan School of Painting: Centered on its Revolutionary and Eclectic Natures
Authors:   Global Knowledge and Convergence Association, G G
Published: January 2024

In the first half of the 20th century, the Lingnan School of Painting was active in the Chinese painting world for more than 40 years. Its founders, Gao Jianfu, Gao Qifeng, and Chen Shuren, studied in Japan in their early years and followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen in his “political revolution”. After returning to China, they took on a wide range of disciples through art education, thus forming a school of their own. They applied their revolutionary ideas to the field of art and launched an “artistic revolution” movement. By absorbing the modeling techniques of Western and Japanese paintings, they carried out the “eclectic mix of Chinese and Western styles” reform of Chinese painting and tried to break then China’s conservative and rigid feudal culture with this new type of painting so as to realize their goal of “saving the nation with art”. The Lingnan School of Painting had a far-reaching historical impact and played an important role in the development of Chinese society and art.

Authors: Ferreira Dutra Araújo Anna Carollynne , De Souza Toledo Bruno
Published: January 2024

A análise comportamental nos Call Centers desempenha um papel crucial na otimização do desempenho dos operadores e na melhoria da experiência do cliente. Este artigo revisa as teorias comportamentais aplicadas nesse contexto e destaca as técnicas de avaliação e estratégias de intervenção utilizadas. As teorias da aprendizagem social e motivação intrínseca e extrínseca são fundamentais para compreender como os operadores aprendem, se desenvolvem e se motivam no ambiente de um Call Center. A análise comportamental, com base nessas teorias, visa melhorar tanto o desempenho individual quanto o coletivo, fornecendo feedback específico, reforço positivo e programas de treinamento personalizados. As variáveis comportamentais, como motivação, estresse e satisfação no trabalho, influenciam diretamente a eficiência operacional e a qualidade do atendimento ao cliente. Estratégias focadas na redução do estresse, promoção do engajamento e reconhecimento do trabalho dos operadores são cruciais para aprimorar o ambiente de trabalho e, por consequência, o serviço oferecido. Desafios como a resistência à mudança e a integração de tecnologias representam obstáculos na implementação efetiva da análise comportamental. No entanto, tendências como inteligência artificial, automação e um maior foco na saúde mental dos colaboradores apontam para avanços promissores nessa área. Portanto, a análise comportamental não apenas impulsiona o desempenho operacional, mas também promove um ambiente de trabalho mais saudável e produtivo, refletindo-se em um atendimento ao cliente mais eficiente e satisfatório.

Authors: Lehominova Svitlana , Shchavinsky Yurii , Muzhanova Tetiana , Rabchun Dmytro , Zaporozhchenko Mykhailo
Published: January 2024

The article addresses the pressing issue of ensuring cyber security for critical information infrastructure, which is associated with the development of modern information technologies and the increased potential for cyber attacks from criminal groups and potential adversary state entities. An analysis of the scientific literature indicates the necessity of preventive measures and scientific research, which involve monitoring the cyberspace. The application of sentiment analysis is proposed to detect the emotional sentiment towards critical information infrastructure objects. Following a defined algorithm, a sentiment analysis model is constructed based on an artificial neural network using open-source Python programming language libraries. The model's distinguishing feature is the consideration of emoticons to determine the intensification of emotional attitudes towards conducting cyber attacks on critical information infrastructure objects. A dataset related to cyber attacks from social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram is collected to train the neural network. The results of training and testing the neural network provide grounds to assert that the network's accuracy of 0.7852 is relatively high, enabling its application by cyber reconnaissance units for early detection of cyber threats to critical infrastructure objects in combination with other tools.

Estimados lectores:Bienvenidos al último número anual de NeuroTarget.En esta oportunidad compartiremos con ustedes, como tema central, una detallada y precisa revisión sobre una temática altamente controversial desde sus mismos orígenes y que no lo ha dejado de ser aun en nuestros tiempos: “Psicocirugía”.Para comenzar, desde mi punto de vista, este término ampliamente difundido y aceptado si bien es por todos claramente relacionado con su significado, no deja de ser una expresión poco fiel de lo que realmente intenta representar. En este sentido, el rol del neurocirujano funcional siempre se ha focalizado en el intento de controlar los síntomas presentes en diversas situaciones, más allá de la causa que origine la enfermedad. Es así que existen “cirugías” para el dolor, los movimientos anormales, la espasticidad, la epilepsia, entre otras muchas condiciones.La denominación “cirugía de los trastornos psiquiátricos” –en mi criterio– impresiona ser más representativa y se amolda con mayor justeza al concepto que desea transmitir.Más allá de las infinitas disquisiciones semánticas que se pueden establecer en torno a la manera de denominar a esta actividad, el indudable punto de controversia se centraliza en el muy fino equilibrio entre la ejecución de estas prácticas y la ética.

Objective: Acute appendicitis is the most common indication for surgical intervention during pregnancy for non-gynaecological or non-obstetric causes. The aim of this study was to compare perioperative and postoperative outcomes of acute appendectomies in pregnant and non-pregnant patients of childbearing age. Methods: A retrospective clinical study focused on the comparison of perioperative and postoperative outcomes of acute appendectomy in pregnant and non-pregnant patients of reproductive age between January 2012 and December 2021 at the University Hospital in Ostrava. Results: A number of 308 patients underwent acute appendectomy, 25 pregnant and 283 non-pregnant. There were no statistically significant differences in age, ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) classification, duration of complaints, baseline C-reactive protein values, sensitivity or specificity of sonography. A statistically significant difference was found in the leukocyte count between subgroups (P = 0.014) and in the number of laparoscopic procedures performed between the two subgroups (P < 0.001; 98.9% non-pregnant vs. 80.0% pregnant). There was also a statistically significant difference in the length of hospital stay, with the pregnant subgroup having a longer hospital stay (P = 0.014) and a statistically significant difference in the rate of postoperative complications between the defined subgroups (P = 0.039). Serious complications were described predominantly in the subgroup of pregnant patients, where they reached 12% compared to non-pregnant patients, where they were 2.8%. The mortality rate of the cohort was zero. Conclusion: The results of the study support the fact that pregnancy may be associated with complicated forms of acute appendicitis. Accurate and early diagnosis not only prevents the development of complicated forms of appendicitis but also reduces the number of negative appendectomies in pregnancy. Key words: acute appendicitis – pregnancy – appendectomy – laparoscopy – morbidity – mortality
A Review on Adoption of Bim in Reducing Construction Rework
Authors: Shrividya S  , Sindhu Vaardini U
Published: January 2024

In the construction industry, the aim of project control is to ensure that the projects are completed on time, within budget and achieving other project objectives .Rework is one of the most major problems in the construction industry. It has an impact on time, cost, quality, and practically every other project success factor. There is always a significant loss of resources, materials, investments, and workforce-time as a result of rework and poor use of resources and materials in the works. Rework may be reduced by designing and planning with full understanding of customers and stakeholders, good communication amongst project aspects, applying quality management systems, and utilizing Information Technology. Because of the worldwide expansion of IT and the widespread use of BIM ,which coordinates all of the software and parts of the construction--the appearance of mistakes and inconsistencies has been drastically reduced in recent years, allowing specialists to realize their full potential in doing projects. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is to use actual project data to measure the effects of BIM implementation on rework in construction projects. The study's findings enable practitioners to develop techniques to reduce rework with BIM implementation, enhance project cost and time performance, and increase project delivery efficiency

Authors: Spacek Miloslav , Vacha Jan , Kaminek Milan , Hutyra Martin , Nykl Radomir , Sluka Martin , Taborsky Milos
Published: January 2024

Introduction

Up to 50% of patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have ≥ 50% stenosis in a major non-infarct-related artery. Several studies have evaluated the prognostic value of the completion of revascularization with overall inconclusive results. Selection of the stenoses was based on the angiographic evaluation, invasive hemodynamic measurement or the combined approach. It is unknown whether such a selection provides correlation of comparable patient groups.

Material and methods

We enrolled 51 patients (62.7 ±10.2 years) with acute STEMI and at least one residual (50–90%) stenosis in a non-infarct-related major coronary artery (excluding left main coronary artery). Overall
65 stenoses (67.9 ±10.7%) were evaluated angiographically following primary percutaneous coronary intervention and the hemodynamic significance was estimated with respect to the stenosis severity, caliber of the arterial segment, localization of the stenosis (proximity) as well as the estimated size of the supplied vascular territory. During subsequent hospitalization, invasive measurement of the hemodynamic significance using fractional flow reserve (FFR) was performed to guide the final revascularization strategy (FFR value of ≤ 0.80 considered significant).

Results

Based on angiographic evaluation, a total of 44 stenoses would be recommended for treatment, whereas only 31 stenoses were revascularized based on FFR measurement. Moreover, visual evaluation and hemodynamic measurement were discrepant in 27 of 65 (41.5%) stenoses.

Conclusions

We observed a weak correlation between visual angiographic evaluation and invasive hemodynamic measurement. More stents would be implanted based on angiographic evaluation compared to FFR measurement.

A Comprehensive Mobile Application to Assist the Beginner Snowboarder in Discovering Resources, Aid, Equipment, and Community Support
Authors: Xiao Licheng , Li Ang
Published: January 2024

The problem aimed to solve in this project is a lack of easy to find information and resources in the snowboarding community. Generally, it is common to find information that includes a lack of snowboarding information, resources, how-to-videos, gear item listings and deals, and available resorts when looking for information as a new snowboarder. To solve this problem, we want to make an easy to use mobile app that has informational resources and posts about snowboarding topics as well as listings for great gear items and resorts, including those with current deals or sales. One of the most prominent challenges we faced while developing this app was connecting our FireBase database with the FluttlerFlow application, as our app needed a database to store the gear and resort documents. To connect the FireBase database, we needed to set the corresponding variable in the Firestore within FlutterFlow. In addition, many icons or containers need to have an action that is linked to the firebase and I need to call it in the backend query. To ensure that our FireBase database worked accurately with our FlutterFlow app through the Firestore, we performed tests to ensure that each field in each item in the database was accurate and responded correctly with filters. The result from these tests, we found, was that our filters and fields worked flawlessly, enabling a well-working database set up with our app. Our app is a great solution to the problem we stated because it encompasses a great array of snowboarding related topics and resources, providing an all around informative experience for the user.

Published: January 2024

Augmented reality interfaces offer users an effective environment. In this study, a visualization approach with 3D augmented reality interfaces was introduced to enable users to understand and analyze complex deep learning models in a short time. It has been investigated whether the immersive experience that augmented reality creates on the user in other systems has the same effect when analyzing these models. Two-dimensional studies on deep learning models were examined and what could be done in three dimensions was emphasized. By adding another dimension with augmented reality interfaces, a threedimensional experience is offered to the user and the results are observed. A CNN model is visualized in the application. When test data was given to the model, the feature maps, filters and connections in the layers were displayed. The application was first run in 2 dimensions, then as a desktop application, and then in 3 dimensions, on Microsoft Hololens-2, a mixed reality headset. Tasks are given to users. Usability was measured with a test called the SUM model, which included completion or non-completion situations, errors, completion times and satisfaction.

This paper aims to find an automatic solution for the modulation’s classification of different types of radio signals by relying on Artificial Intelligence. This project is part of a long process of Communications Intelligence looking for an automatic solution to demodulate, decode and decipher communication signals. Our work therefore consisted in the choice of the database needed for supervised deep learning, the evaluation of existing techniques on raw communication signals, and the proposal of a solution based on deep learning networks allowing to classify the types of modulation with an optimal ratio (computation time / accuracy). We first carried out a research work on the existing models of automatic classification in order to use them as a reference. We consequently proposed an ensemble learning approach based on tuned ResNet and Transformer Neural Network that is efficient at extracting multi- scale features from the raw I/Q sequence data and also considers the challenge of predicting in low Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) conditions. In the end, we delivered an architecture that is easy to handle and apply to communication signals. This solution has an optimal and robust architecture that automatically determines the type of modulation with an accuracy up to 95%
A Secured Image Communication With Dual Encryption and Reversible Watermarking
Authors: Boppanaa Surya , Kane William , Ma Long
Published: January 2024

Secured communication is the optimal means of exchanging information without the risk of data leakage. Data encryption serves as a crucial method for safeguarding and fortifying sensitive information. This paper introduces a groundbreaking approach known as reversible information concealment, specifically designed for digital images. It employs an integer-to-integer wavelet transformation alongside a companding process to embed and retrieve confidential data, restoring the image to its pristine state. Furthermore, the paper explores the utilization of genetic operators in cryptography. Given the prevalence of general information tampering within networks, it becomes imperative to protect messages during transmission. To address this concern, the paper proposes a novel encryption technique leveraging genetic operators such as crossover and mutation. This method ensures message confidentiality during the transmission process, contributing to an enhanced and more secure environment. The overarching goal is to establish a robust security framework through the integration of encryption and digital image watermarking for discreet data concealment within images.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms, anxiety and suicidal ideation and associated factors among higher education students. Methods: an integrative literature review was conducted. Articles retrieved from the secondary databases Virtual Health Library (VHL), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), the Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), the Online System for Search and Analysis of Medical Literature (MEDLINE), the National Library of Medicine (Pubmed) and the Scopus database were analyzed using the following descriptors: depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and students. Studies published in Portuguese, English, Spanish and that dealt directly with the subject of study were considered. Results: previous health conditions, sociodemographic and social variables, family and interpersonal relationships, and specific aspects of the undergraduate course and the institution related the prevalence of depressive symptoms, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Conclusion: a significant prevalence of depressive symptoms, anxiety and suicidal ideation was identified, the variables associated with the outcomes analyzed are heterogeneous and identifies the need for a systematic and multifactorial action to reduce cases and satisfactorily meet demands.
Environmental and Social Sustainability: A Consumer Cultural Identity Perspective in the Global-Local Marketplace
Authors: Strizhakova Yuliya , Coulter Robin A.
Published: January 2024

With the 2023 The Sustainable Development Goals Report confirming that the world is far from reaching the established sustainability goals for 2030, we focus this commentary on environmental and social sustainability from the perspective of consumer cultural identity and branding within a global-local marketplace. Our attention is on the firm (multinational and local) and its brand (global or local) as a viable business entity with economic sustainability, that is also engaged with environmental sustainability and social sustainability. We offer substantive questions to guide research around the complexities of corporate sustainability, global and local company/brand actions, and consumer cultural identity.
La política fiscal frente a la inflación e hiperinflación
Authors: Farfan Rodriguez Juliana Carolina
Published: January 2024

El objetivo del estudio corresponde al análisis de los fenómenos de hiperinflación como factores altamente perjudiciales para una economía en términos de crecimiento y calidad de vida. Es un fenómeno latente en Latinoamérica que amenaza con presentarse de no ser controladas las variables que lo desencadenan desde la política fiscal.
Para lograr lo anterior, el método aplicado corresponde a una revisión sistemática a partir de la búsqueda en las bases de datos Science y Dimensions sobre palabras clave que permiten identificar artículos que desarrollaron el análisis de la inflación e hiperinflación desde la política fiscal.
En tal sentido, el resultado principal es la identificación de patrones similares de conexión entre la política fiscal, la inflación y la hiperinflación a partir de estudios realizados en diferentes economías en el ámbito mundial.
Finalmente, se concluye que las acciones desfavorables desde la política fiscal que han conducido a la hiperinflación corresponden a la financiación del déficit público con emisión de bonos o moneda, impuesto inflacionario y reducciones del impuesto cuando la economía se encuentra en el lado ineficiente de la curva de Laffer.

Published: January 2024

Actualmente, la auditoría de cuentas está teniendo importantes problemas en relación con el relevo generacional, en particular, con la gestión del talento joven. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la función de apoyo que puede hacer la universidad para desarrollar competencias profesionales relevantes en el estudiantado, así como para incrementar su interés por emprender su vida laboral en el sector. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que la aplicación de metodologías de aprendizaje activo, como es el aprendizaje orientado a proyectos (AOP), puede ser un instrumento de acción muy útil para lograr ambos propósitos. Ello puede resultar de interés para distintos colectivos, en especial, el profesorado universitario, los organismos reguladores (ICAC), las corporaciones representativas (REA-CGE e ICJCE) y los propios auditores y auditoras de cuentas y firmas y despachos de auditoría.
El principio de proporcionalidad como cauce para anular infracciones tributarias por parte de los órganos jurisdiccionales
Authors: Prósper Almagro Ana Belén
Published: January 2024

El objeto de este comentario se centra en las Sentencias 1093/2023, de 25 de julio (rec. núm. 5234/2021 –NFJ090696–), y 3509/2023, de 26 de julio (rec. núm. 8620/2021 –NFJ090580–), por medio de las cuales el Tribunal Supremo desestima los recursos de casación interpuestos por la Administración general del Estado y establece como doctrina casacional que un órgano jurisdiccional puede anular un acto sancionador y, en consecuencia, inaplicar la norma legal que la determina, cuando aprecie que la ley sancionadora nacional vulnera el principio de proporcionalidad que establece el derecho de la Unión Europea. En concreto, en los casos analizados, el Alto Tribunal dictaminó que la sanción prevista en el artículo 171.uno.4.º de la Ley del impuesto sobre el valor añadido (LIVA) conculca el referido principio de proporcionalidad, en tanto que la misma prevé, en los supuestos de concurrencia de la conducta tipificada en el artículo 170.dos.4.º de la LIVA, la imposición de una sanción consistente en un porcentaje fijo del 10 % de la cuota dejada de consignar en la correspondiente autoliquidación, sin que exista posibilidad alguna de modulación de la misma, teniendo en cuenta que en su comisión ni ha existido perjuicio económico para la Hacienda pública ni se ha facilitado o propiciado la comisión de un fraude fiscal.
