Lost in Thailand: Travel metaphors in contemporary Chinese comedy
Authors: Yang Wei
Published: August 2022

Chinese cinema at the turn of the twenty-first century is replete with metaphors of travel – migration, roaming, exile, diaspora, and more recently, adventure and tourism. This article explores the allegorical uses of mobility and journey in recent New Year’s comedies, as exemplified by Xu Zheng’s 2012 blockbuster release Ren zai jiongtu zhi taijiong/Lost in Thailand, a film that is widely considered to have shaken up China’s domestic film industry. The notion of Thailand in the film as simultaneously a commercial and spiritual destination is crucial to the matter at hand. I argue that the spatial consumption typical of travel films acquires an alternative form here, one that does not fortify but rather undermines the imagination of Chinese power in a foreign land. This form of spatiality is best understood within the generic framework of New Year’s comedy, as well as the larger context of consumer culture and mass entertainment. Inquiring into the mixed tropes of comedy and melodrama, I seek to illustrate how the newly emergent tourist discourse builds upon the organizational principles of holiday-themed films, and how this particular genre and style, at times, can enable apolitical encounters with the society’s collective consciousness, while critiquing the limits and conditions of China’s post-socialist reality from within.
Thirty years on: A review of the Lee-Carter method for forecasting mortality
Authors: Basellini Ugofilippo , Camarda Carlo Giovanni , Booth Heather
Published: August 2022

The introduction of the Lee-Carter (LC) method marked a breakthrough in mortality forecasting, providing a simple yet powerful data-driven stochastic approach. The method has the merit of capturing the dynamics of mortality change by a single time index that is invariably linear. This 30th anniversary review of its 1992 publication examines the LC method and the large body of research that it has since spawned. We first describe the method and present a 30-year ex-post evaluation of the original LC forecast for U.S.~mortality. We then review the most prominent extensions of the LC method in relation to the limitations that they sought to address. With a focus on the efficacy of the various extensions, we review existing evaluations and comparisons. To conclude, we juxtapose the two main statistical approaches used, discuss further issues, and identify several potential avenues for future research.
Cultural Extraterritoriality: Intra-Regional Politics in Contemporary Hong Kong Cinema
Authors: Fan Victor
Published: August 2022

In this article, Victor Fan argues that analysing contemporary Hong Kong cinema requires active rewriting of established postcolonial theories by taking into account the specific mode of colonisation of Hong Kong: extraterritoriality. This concept has been responsible for the construction of the cultural plurality, linguistic ambiguity, and political liminality of Hong Kong and its cinematographic experience, as well as the incongruence between the community’s political consciousness after 1997 and the larger national imagination promulgated by the Beijing government. The term ‘extraterritoriality’ was translated into Chinese after 1895 via Japanese as zhiwai faquan the right to exercise one’s law outside a nation state’s sovereign terrain, and colonialism in China between 1844 and 1949 was largely characterized by a continuous reformulation and systematisation of this concept. It in fact still informs the way former colonised regions in China are administered today, and the political unconscious of their residents. With Jonnie To’s 2012 film Duzhan (Dukzin) /Drug War as a case study, contemporary Hong Kong cinema, Fan argues, can be understood as a public sphere where an extraterritorial consciousness and the contesting political affects associated with it are actively negotiated.

Bodies in crisis: Sensuality and the cinematic reconfiguration of the spy genre in contemporary Chinese cinema
Authors: Zhu Yanhong
Published: August 2022

Spy films produced during the Cold War and the immediate post-Cold War era in Mainland China reflect a heightened anxiety of national security and serve primarily as political propaganda. This article examines the changing cultural context of post-socialist China and the transformation of the spy film genre in contemporary Chinese cinema in the age of globalization and transnationalism. Looking specifically at three recently released films, Ang Lee’s Se jie/Lust, Caution (2007), Chen Guofu and Gao Qunshu’s Fengsheng/The Message (2009) and Alan Mak and Felix Chong’s Ting feng zhe/The Silent War (2012), this article examines the centrality of body narrative to the cinematic reconfiguration of the spy genre in contemporary Chinese cinema. It argues that the recently emerged spy films demonstrate special interests in the body’s dual role in cinema – as both an image that invites the embodied spectator to engage with it and a site where multiple discourses of nationhood, sexuality and individual identity intersect to reveal the transnational imagination and reconfiguration of the spy figure, whose identity can no longer be defined by an absolute dichotomy between mind and body, between exteriority and interiority, but by the constant tension generated from the inseparability between the mind’s rationality and the body’s corporeality.

Published: August 2022

With the developing and advancing technology, computer technologies have been used in the construction sector to facilitate the process such as design, construction and analysis. One of these technologies is “deep learning” which is a sub-unit of artificial intelligence technology. It is seen that the use of deep learning is limited in the construction sector due to late adaptation to technology compared to other sectors and insufficient investments in this field. Therefore, the studies and researches on the use of deep learning in the construction sector were examined within the scope of this study. The 102,756 articles accessed with the deep learning keyword search in the Web of Science database were refined by using the keyword "deep learning and construction technology”, and bibliometric analysis was conducted on 323 articles. This bibliometric analysis study involved (i) Citation; (ii) Co-authorship (iii) Common citations. The current situation was examined by making a mapping analysis based on bibliographic data through the VOSviewer program. According to the analysis, the leading countries are China and America for 323 articles written in English between 2010-2020. In terms of institutions; it was determined that the first 4 universities are from China, while the keywords that stand out in these articles are deep learning, computer vision, and convolutional neural networks, respectively. Although researches show that the use of deep learning in the construction sector has been growing in recent years, it has been concluded that there are no studies in this field in Turkey. In this context, it is necessary to create an environment that will give the priority for the studies to be done in this field.
A Study on Evaluation Method and Urban Water Security, Integrated Urban Water Management
Authors: KOÇ Cengiz
Published: August 2022

Today, many cities are faced with significant difficulties in terms of water supply and management. Integrated Urban Water Management requires addressing together urban development and watershed management in order to achieve sustainable economic, social and environmental objectives. All of the water supply, sanitation, rainwater and wastewater management issues should be considered as a whole with land use planning and economic development. The purpose of an Integrated Urban Water Management approach is to integrate with other urban sectors such as land, housing, energy and transport with planning water sector in order to avoid fragmentation or recurrence in the process of policy making and decision making. In many countries, it is very difficult to ensure urban water security. While few studies have assessed water security at the regional level, many have highlighted the lack of assessment of water security and implementation of measures in order to be successful at the urban level. Studies focused on measuring urban water security are not holistic, and there is still no consensus on how to define and use an assessment framework to measure the current state and dynamics of water security. Currently, there is no clearly defined and widely approved definition of urban water security. this study, aiming to cope with this challenge, will provide an assessment framework applicable to urban settlement and urban areas, and a systematic work description to better understand urban water security. The proposed work description of urban water security is based on the United Nations' sustainable development goal regarding water and sanitation, and human rights. The assessment framework used to ensure urban water security is based on drinking water and people, ecosystem, climate change and water-related hazards and socio-economic factors. Implementing this framework will help governments, politicians and water stakeholders target at scarce resources more effectively and sustainably.
Variation of pH and Electrical Conductivity Values of Different Deep Eutectic Solvents with Temperature
Authors: KUTLU KANTAR Naciye
Published: August 2022

In this study, the variation of pH and electrical conductivity values of 6 different deep eutectic solvents (choline chloride-acetic acid, choline chloride-urea, choline chloride-citric acid, choline chloride-glycerol, choline chloride-lactic acid, and glycerol-citric acid) most likely to be used in food processes with temperature (25 °C, 50 °C and 75 °C) were investigated. The molar ratio was used as 1:1 for the glycerol-citric acid combination, and the molar ratio was applied as 1:2 for other solvents. Besides, 30% water by mass was added to all solvents. As a result, it was observed that the variation of pH values with temperature changed depending on the hydrogen bond donor type, while the electrical conductivity values increased in direct proportion to the increase in temperature. It was seen that linear model compatibility was high for both values. When the relations between pH and electrical conductivity values were examined, it was seen that deep eutectic solvent combinations formed with acid-based hydrogen bond donors showed a positive correlation, while other combinations showed a negative correlation. Finally, when the activation energies are examined, the combinations using citric acid as hydrogen bond donor for pH and urea for electrical conductivity have the highest value

Machine learning enables machines to learn information and make inferences using the information it has learned. In this article, five years of crime data were analyzed and the learning process was completed with the data in the machine's hands. One-Hot Encoding and Min-Max Normalization methods and Principal Component Analysis algorithm were used in the analysis of the data. The model was asked to predict whether the criminal could be caught, the security of the area, and the type of crime committed using the K-Nearest Neighborhood, Random Forest and Extreme Gradient Boosting algorithms. However, no matter how successful the model is in imbalanced datasets, the result will be misleading. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to transform the imbalanced data into a balanced one by various methods and to find the most accurate sampling method for the data, which is compatible with the classification method. For this purpose, one statistical sampling method (Stratify), three over sampling method (Random Over Sampler, Synthetic Minority Over, Adaptive Synthetic), three under sampling method (Random Under Sampler, Near Miss, Neighborhood Cleaning Rule) and mix samplig method (Smote Tomek) have been applied to avoid imbalance of data in target areas such as Arrest, Crime Type,Security. As a result of the sampling methods applied, efficient and effective results were obtained.

Published: August 2022

Water scarcity and soil fertility have been long recognized as the most crucial factors limiting maize production. Therefore, a greenhouse experiment was conducted during 2021 planting season at North-West university Research Farm to investigate the comparison of Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA) maize and hybrid maize varieties under different irrigation frequencies and soil types. The experiment was a 3 × 2 × 2 factorial experiment fitted in a randomized complete block design in four replicates. The treatment factors consist of irrigation frequency (1, 2 and 3 times in a week), soil types (Sandy and Sandy loam) and maize variety (WEMA and PANNAR varieties). Results indicated that the tallest plant height (41.99 and 56.38 cm) was recorded with three times irrigation frequency at 46 and 53 DAP. The maize variety sown in the sandy loamy had a higher number of leaves (6.50 and 7.75) at 46 and 53 DAP, respectively. The WEMA variety had higher chlorophyll content (13.73 SPAD) at 46 DAP. The PANNAR maize variety had higher chlorophyll content (16.65 SPAD) at 53 DAP. Highest shoot dry weight (4.30 g) was obtained in sandy loam soil type. WEMA variety had highest total dry matter weight (20.90 g). The result indicated that sandy loam, maize variety and irrigation frequency three times enhanced the growth of WEMA variety and PANNAR hybrid. WEMA maize produced the highest dry matter compared to PANNAR. This showed that WEMA variety could tolerate water deficit compared to the PANNAR hybrid.

Published: August 2022

Abstract: This concept paper presents Mobile Agricultural Robots (MARs) for the development of precision agriculture and implicitly the smart farms through knowledge, reason, technology, interaction, learning and validation. Finding new strategies and control algorithms for MARs has led to the design of an Autonomous Robotic Platform Weed Control (ARoPWeC). The paradigm of this concept is based on the integration of intelligent agricultural subsystems into mobile robotic platforms. For maintenance activities in case of hoeing crops (corn, potatoes, vegetables, vineyards), ARoPWeC benefits from the automatic guidance subsystem and spectral analysis subsystem for differentiation and classification of the weeds. The elimination of weeds and pests is done through the Drop-on-Demand spray subsystem with multi-objective control, and for increasing efficiency through the Deep Learning subsystem.

Since Corona Virus Disease (COVID) – 19 is considered a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), governments, and communities, worldwide trying to prevent transmission and reduce the number of deaths caused by the virus. One method of preventing transmission is spraying disinfectants using certain chemical compounds. However, chemicals can also hurt the environment and humans themselves if the doses used are not by existing standards. An alternative disinfectant method that does not use chemicals and is environmentally friendly, namely by using the UV (Ultraviolet)-decontamination method, UV-C rays. This research aims to find out the results of UV irradiation from UV-C lamps in theory and measurement. Then, the optimal placement of a fixed - UV lamp system to obtain an effective disinfectant dose and the length of time it takes to reach the target dose prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The methods include theoretical calculations and data measurements to see the results of UV radiation irradiation on UV-C lamps and look for correlations between the two to find the conversion value. Moreover, with the help of DIALux Evo 9.2 software to find out the radiation value from the conversion equation, see the optimum UV dose spread, and reach the desired dose target time. The result is that there are differences in the results of UV irradiation on UV-C lamps with the efficiency of lamps and ballasts as well as on the measurement method that affects UV-C radiation, but according to field conditions and does not affect the actual application. The number of lamp placements and the dimensions of the room affects the dose spread. Moreover, the minimum time to achieve the target dose in the case study is 29 minutes using six placements of UV-C lamps with two lamps each at the six placement points.

Tatacara Pengelolaan limbah medis fasilitas kesehatan seperti penggunaan kantong plastik yang belum sesuai dengan jenis dan karakteristik limbah, penggunaan desinfeksi terhadap wadah limbah medis yang telah digunakan, masih minimnya penggunaan Alat Pelindung Diri. Disamping itu pengetahuan dan sikap petugas pengelola limbah medis masih rendah seperti warna kantong plastik yang digunakan, penyimpanan maksimal limbah medis. Sehingga membutuhkan kontribusi pimpinan dalam pengelolaan limbah medis padat. Mengetahui dan menganalisis pengelolaan limbah medis padat di Fasilitas Kesehatan Tingkat Pertama Kota Padang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan sampel sebesar 58 Sampel menggunakan skala guttman dan skala likert dengan analisis Regresi Berganda. Untuk Fasilitas Kesehatan Tingkat Pertama (FKTP) sebagian besar telah melaksanakan pengelolaan limbah medis sesuai dengan peraturan yang telah ditetapkan namun ada beberapa tahapan yang masih rendah seperti Tempat Penampungan Sementara dan Pengangkutan Onsite. Untuk pengetahuan (p = 0,031), sikap (p = 0,007) dan persepsi dukungan pimpinan (p = 0,000) pada petugas pengelola limbah medis masih tergolong rendah dan hasil regresi berganda bahwa pengetahuan, sikap dan dukungan pimpinan berpengaruh nyata terhadap pengelolaan limbah medis padat. Untuk FKTP seperti Puskesmas dan Klinik sudah melaksanakan pengelolaan limbah medis sesuai standar yang ditetapkan namun untuk praktek dokter gigi masih rendah dalam penerapan peraturan mengenai pengelolaan limbah medis padat

Pembelajaran tatap muka memerlukan beberapa persiapan untuk mencegah berkembangnya kembali Covid-19. Mahasiswa adalah mayoritas dari penghuni kampus yang terlibat dalam proses pembelajaran sehingga kepatuhan mahasiswa dalam melaksanakan protokol kesehatan sangatlah penting. Protokol kesehatan mengharuskan cuci tangan sebagai bagian aktifitas penting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model perilaku mencuci tangan dan menguji pengaruh variabel pengetahuan (Z1), sikap (Z2), dan sarana sabun, air, hand sanitizer (Z3) terhadap perilaku mencuci tangan (Y). Pengujian model menggunakan satu set data empiris yang dikumpulkan dari 101 mahasiswa jurusan teknik kimia secara acak. Selanjutnya data dikumpulkan, diurutkan, dan dianalisa secara statisik menggunakan statistik deskriptif, uji regresi linier berganda, uji T, dan uji F. Representasi data, validasi dan korelasi data dilakukan dalam MS Excel dan SPSS 20. Uji regresi linier berganda menghasilkan persamaan Y = 3,722 + 0,035 Z1 + 0,142 Z2 + 0,269 Z3 + e. Uji T menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan tidak mempengaruhi secara parsial perilaku mencuci tangan; baik sikap maupun sarana, masing-masing mempengaruhi secara parsial perilaku mencuci tangan. Uji F menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan, sikap, dan sarana mempengaruhi secara serentak perilaku mencuci tangan. Pengujian koefisien determinasi dari model menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan, sikap, dan sarana sabun, air, hand sanitizer memberikan kontribusi 48,3% dari seluruh variabel yang mempengaruhi perilaku mencuci tangan. Pengembangan perilaku mencuci tangan dapat dilakukan dengan pemberian stimulus, antara lain sosialisasi pentingnya mencuci tangan (melalui poster, banner, penyuluhan di sela perkuliahan), penyediaan sarana sabun, air, dan hand sanitizer di sudut-sudut kampus, dan pelibatan mahasiswa dalam kegiatan sosialisasi maupun penyediaan sarana cuci tangan.
Remittance Flows and the Environmental Degradation–Migration Nexus
Authors: Edwards Travis
Published: August 2022

The net effect on the environment from migration into developed countries has received little attention in existing literature. Yet, this issue has important policy implications – e.g., nativists’ support of anti-immigration policy for achieving pollution reduction targets. This research uses panel data for 127 countries from years 1971–2012 to analyse how migration affects greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through remittance flows. The findings suggest higher remittances lead to lower GHG emissions. Further, the estimated decrease in GHG emissions more than compensates for any potential increase in global GHG emissions from migration into developed countries. These results suggest that pollution alone does not justify policies restricting immigration.
Dopamine D5 receptor involvement in LTP and LTD: adjustment to the dysconnectivity theory of schizophrenia
Authors: Labrou Dimitris
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this article is to emphasise the role of the dopamine D5 receptor in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, through its actions on the hippocampus, the prefrontal cortex, the striatum, and the basal ganglia. We believe that this receptor, along with other key receptor systems, mainly the 5HT2A/C, the GABA(A), the NMDA, and some nAchRs are vital for long-term potentiation and long-term depression effects, that control the plasticity of the brain. We assume that the anatomical and physiological traits that have been found, show us a loss of plasticity, which may be intertwined with a degree of atrophy in the brain, noted in a percentage of schizophrenia patients, as a loss of grey matter. Of course, the plasticity is mediated by different receptors in each brain region, and the tissues associated with the dopamine D5 receptor, show us a multi-parameter function, through the LTP and LTD. The effect that the dysfunction of the LTP and LTD has on the brain, is related to the dysconnectivity between parts of the CNS, a trait associated with many neurodevelopmental disorders, especially schizophrenia.
РЕЗОНАНСНІ ПОЗДОВЖНЬО-КУТОВІ КОЛИВАННЯ КОЛІСНИХ ТРАНСПОРТНИХ ЗАСОБІВ ІЗ НЕЛІНІЙНОЮ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКОЮ СИСТЕМИ ПІДРЕСОРЮВАННЯ

Побудовано математичну модель динаміки підресореної маси колісних транспортних засобів (КТЗ) із нелінійною силовою характеристикою системи підресорювання маси за умови руху останніх уздовж шляху з впорядкованою системою нерівностей, яка зводиться до нелінійного неавтономного диференціального рівняння другого порядку. На базі загальних ідей методів збурень, адаптованих стосовно математичної моделі таких систем, побудовано асимптотичний розв’язок побудованої математичної моделі поздовжньо-кутових коливань КТЗ. Отримано рівняння у стандартному вигляді, які описують визначальні параметри коливань підресореної маси. Їх особливістю є те, що власна частота поздовжньо-кутових коливань вказаної частини суттєво залежить від їх амплітуди, тобто вони суттєво відрізняються від випадку динаміки підресореної маси із квазі лінійними силовими характеристиками системи підресорювання. Досліджено закономірності зміни амплітуди і частоти коливань у нерезонансному та резонансному випадках залежно від функцій, які описують шлях, а також від нелінійних силових характеристик демпферних пристроїв і амортизаторів. Отримані умови виникнення резонансних коливань і математичні залежності між їх основними параметрами. Знайдено критичне значення швидкості руху КТЗ уздовж шляху з впорядкованою системою нерівностей для уникнення резонансних поздовжньо-кутових коливань підресореної маси. Обговорюються перспективні напрями подальших досліджень стосовно військово-прикладних аспектів досліджуваної проблеми, а також можливі узагальнення розробленої методики та одержаних результатів.

Background and Importance: Distant extracranial metastasis of meningioma is rare, and the pathophysiology of metastasis in meningioma remains a topic of debate. This study aimed to describe a patient who suffered from multiple pulmonary metastases of meningioma. Case Presentation: This report introduced a rare case of a 47-year-old female who presented with right hemiparesis. Cranial Computed Tomography (CT) demonstrated a homogeneously enhanced tumor in the left temporal lobe. The patient underwent tumor resection; the pathological result was found to be World Health Organization (WHO) grade I meningothelial meningioma. Recurrence of the tumor transpired after two years and a second operation was performed. WHO grade II atypical meningioma was diagnosed. Subsequently, the patient developed a chronic cough and her chest x-ray showed multiple lung masses. CT-guided biopsy of the right lung mass was performed. Finally, pulmonary metastatic meningioma was diagnosed. Conclusion: Distant extracranial metastasis and malignant transformation of meningioma involve the genetic alteration of a tumor, which should be studied further.
