La réforme de l’impôt sur le revenu en Chine en 2018. Une avancée significative vers une meilleure justice fiscale
Authors: Jin Banggui
Published: December 2023

L’impôt sur le revenu a été créé en 1980 en Chine et a connu une réforme majeure en 2018. Avant cette réforme, c’était un impôt cédulaire, analytique et caractérisé surtout par son individualisation absolue. Ainsi, il faisait l’objet de beaucoup de critiques pour l’injustice qu’il a provoquée en raison notamment de l’impossibilité de la prise en compte des charges personnelles et familiales du contribuable dans le calcul de l’impôt. En effet, les modifications successives de la loi sur cet impôt réalisées avant 2018 n’ont pas pu corriger son défaut principal qui est celui de l’injustice fiscale, devenue de moins en moins acceptable en Chine en 2018 dont la situation économique et sociale n’était plus comparable à celle de 1980. La nouveauté la plus importante apportée par la réforme de 2018 consiste en la mise en place des dispositifs permettant la prise en considération des charges personnelles et familiales du contribuable. À cela, il faut ajouter d’importants allègements fiscaux accordés par cette réforme. La réforme de 2018 a permis de réaliser un grand pas en avant vers une meilleure égalité fiscale en Chine, bien que les contribuables auraient souhaité que le législateur chinois aille plus loin dans ce sens.
The Family Strength Wheel: A Strength-Based Visual Tool for Families
Authors: Clark Genese
Published: December 2023

In 2017, data was collected from 59 African-Americans living in the northeastern United States to investigate the saliency of six family strength domains. The study results highlighted an emerging domain, Leadership, and led to the development of a visual family strength tool adapted from DeFrain's (2002) American Family Strength Inventory for family practitioners. With a supplemental worksheet, the Family Strength Wheel provides a self-rating scale illustrating baselines for strength-based family functioning while simultaneously showing benchmarks for improvement. The Family Strength Wheel offers immediate insight into individuals' perceptions of their family's functioning, opening areas for dialogue between family members and practitioners.

Authors: Chertov Sergiy O. , Kaminskyy Valery , Tatarina Olha , Mandych Oleksii , Oliinyk Andrii
Published: December 2023

In the article, the authors analyze the problem of using modern innovative nanotechnologies in dentistry. Currently, nanotechnology is used in treatment, prosthetics, preventive care of the oral cavity and teeth. Based on this, the use of nanotechnology in dentistry has a number of advantages compared to the traditional materials used, as they are more effective, affordable, structured, meet all modern parameters, and have high quality. Despite the widespread use of nanotechnology, in some cases, they may carry certain risks. Nanomaterials have higher activity, high permeability through the skin, lungs, and digestive tract. But the impact of nanoparticles on the body remains unexplored. In addition to safety problems of nanomaterials, their production is associated with a number of other problems: engineering, biological, and social. Specialists think about new ways to solve current professional problems. Time will tell how successful the process of integrating narrow-profile research into practical activity will be. The development of new and implementation of existing nanotechnology medical technologies is a promising direction of the development of modern dentistry.
Citati i upućivanja na Matejevo evanđelje u benediktinskom Pravilu u odnosu na lik monaha
Authors: Krasicki Arkadiusz
Published: December 2023

Članak donosi istraživanje benediktinskoga Pravila pod vidom svetopisamskih tekstova. Matejevo evanđelje sačinjava okosnicu Pravila. Najviše tekstova pojavljuje se iz 5 - 7 poglavlja. Ova su poglavlja poznata kao Isusov “Govor na gori” ili “Magna charta” Novoga Zavjeta. Tekstovi iz spomenutih poglavlja određuju status Isusovih učenika u Zajednici. Pravilo sačinjava i određenu sintezu biblijske antropologije potkrepljujući svoja načela evanđeoskim direktnim i indirektnim navodima. To je dokaz želji Utemeljitelja da se monaški duhovni život zasniva isključivo na Isusovim riječima. Istraživanje Pravila pod vidim evanđeoskih tekstova pokazalo se velikim doprinosom i benediktinskoj zajednici.
Pregare con i libri: committenze librarie e varietà grafiche presso il monastero di Santa Maria di Zara (secoli XI-XIII)
Authors: Gavinelli Simona
Published: December 2023

I bellissimi manoscritti liturgici, miniati e redatti nella tipologia barese beneventana per l'Abbazia benedettina di Santa Maria di Zara, fondata dalle aristocratiche Čika e Vekenega nel 1066 (due libri delle ore a Budapest, Magyar Tudományos Akadémia Könyvtár, K 394 e Oxford, Bodleian Library, Canonici Lit. 277, ed Evangelistario Oxford, Bodleian Library, Canonici Bibl. Lat. 61), insieme al cartulario del monastero (Zara, Arhiv Benediktinskog samostana sv. Marije, s.n.), mettono a fuoco l'alto livello culturale del potente centro religioso e mostrano un interessante panorama multi-grafico di influenze reciproche (Bari-Type beneventana, Minuscola carolingia o pregotica) in diversi gradi calligrafici, fino alle forme più disarticolate delle aggiunte necrologiche nei calendari.
L’incontro tra Benedetto e Scolastica: tra preghiera, amore e visione di Dio
Authors: Franchi Roberta
Published: December 2023

Al capitolo 33 del secondo libro dei Dialoghi di Gregorio Magno, Scolastica e Benedetto hanno trascorso una giornata insieme a conversare. Quando il crepuscolo comincia a calare, rendendosi conto che Benedetto l’avrebbe presto lasciata, Scolastica lo prega di rimanere per la notte. Al netto rifiuto del fratello, impossibilitato a restare fuori dal monastero secondo i dettami della Regola, Scolastica comincia a pregare, piangendo. Quasi a voler rispecchiare le sue lacrime, i cieli generano una pioggia torrenziale, impedendo a Benedetto di tornare al suo monastero. A conclusione dell’episodio, Gregorio annota: «Scolastica ha potuto di più (plus potuit), perché ella ha amato di più (quae amplius amavit)». Rievocando l’episodio del fariseo e della peccatrice narrato nel vangelo di Luca (7,36-50), in opposizione al legalismo ascetico l’amore è presentato come la chiave che dischiude il tesoro della divina misericordia. L’amore è incarnato in Scolastica. Ella è la scolara, una donna istruita nella fede, nella preghiera e nella carità alla schola divina, dove ha appreso la sapienza del cuore e dell’amore di Dio. L’incontro tra Benedetto e Scolastica gioca un ruolo centrale nella narrazione: segna non solo la fine di quelli che possono essere chiamati i miracoli d’azione di Benedetto, ma anche l’ingresso nella fase finale della sua vita, quella in cui regnano le visioni gloriose e le conversazioni sull’aldilà. Alimentato dalla preghiera e dalla contemplazione, il cuore percepisce la radiosità della creazione, e la natura del cuore trasformato, una «luce interiore nella mente» (lumen mentis), risplende di concerto con la gloria di Dio. È quanto accaduto a Benedetto. Affiancato da Scolastica, continua a splendere sulla terra con la sua Regola: è la luce dell’Europa.

Published: December 2023

У статті розглянуто спеціально не досліджені до цього часу художні функції такого класу морфологічних одиниць, як службові слова в поетично- му мовленні Ліни Костенко. З’ясовано, що, крім автоматичного вибору службового слова, поетеса усвідомлено селекціонує їх з певною художньою метою. Це виявляється у виборі й «згущенні» на невеликому просторі тексту одна- кових одиниць, а також у повторах, зокрема на початку рядків, що охоплюють передусім сполучники й частки. Спостерігаються також випадки морфологічної відмінкової атракції за участі прийменника. Поширеною є ба- гатосполучниковість, яка забезпечує ефект кінематографа або семантичне нагнітання емотивності поетичного тексту.

Results. Based on the analysis of modern literature data and the results of our own studies, a generalized medical and pharmacological characteristic of metabolite agents, metabolitotropic drugs and nutritional supplements that can influence the main and compensatory mechanisms of macroergic phosphates production under the influence of physical activity is presented. The mechanisms of action, indications for use and main side effects of drugs and food additives based on ATP, malate, succinate, citrate, pyruvate, carnitine, carnosine, etc. are presented.

Conclusions. Semantic analysis data indicate that an urgent problem for sports medicine physicians and pharmacologists is the development and use of metabolites, metabolitotropic agents and nutritional supplements, as well as approaches to their rational combination to improve energy metabolism, replenish ATP reserves in the body that will help ensure the intensity muscular activity and simultaneously protect target organs.
Slava's Snowshow and Existentialism
Authors:   George Enescu National University of Arts Iași, JIGHIRGIU Octavian , J. DARIE Andreea ,   George Enescu National University of Arts Iași
Published: December 2023

In a paradoxical manner, the clowns of the Russian creator Slava Polunin evoke Beckett's tramps, even though Snowshow breaks away from existentialism transcending the nonsense of life by mirroring oneself in the other. In the year of its premiere, the show talked about freedom, about that late release from the restraints of a totalitarian regime, about resistance through hope and dreams throughout the difficult communist period. Nowadays, 30 years later, its circumstantially, even historically - dare we say - modified semantics has acquired a deep philosophical substratum. In the connection between Slava Polunin's show and the existentialist movement, we can highlight two distinct plans. First, there is a manifestation of the ontological nonsense within each sequence of the performance, which causes the childish "detours" towards play. Secondly, the existentialism manifests itself through the very structure of the entire spectacular ensemble. It all starts with the clown entering the scene as if in another dimension. Then, the symbolism of the show makes its aesthetics difficult to categorize. The sequentiality that alternates in a versatile way the dreamlike state and the playful one, the oxymoron and the metaphor, manages to transform the stage discourse into a story that you don't know how to grasp, while being, at the same time, hypnotized by it. At the end, we are invited to test in a sensorial manner a passage to another dimension, a possible evocation of dissolution that takes the shape of an overwhelming snowstorm.
Richard Wagner – The Genius Mark Of A Simmering Brew Of Pursuits, Anxieties And Contrasts
Authors:   Faculty of Theater and Film of the Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, BOGDAN Stanca Maria
Published: December 2023

Regardless of the artistic formula, of whether we are referring to classical theater or lyrical theater, the performer's status, with all its similarities and differences, remains the same. For the artist, it is important not only to have a deep understanding of the text/score, but also of the general context, both of the role itself inside and outside the work from which it originates, as well as of the author, the understanding of the historical moment to which it belongs, from which it is claimed, for deciphering their intentions and the message they tried, at the time of creation and looking towards posterity, to convey it publicly. In this paradigm, at some point, the personal encounter with creation and, by extension, with Richard Wagner's conception of creation constituted a moment of revelation transformed into fascination, a lesson that I tried to pass on. Because, like any genius, Richard Wagner aroused not only admiration or controversy, but above all passion. Knowing his life, turmoil, creation and peculiarities we all become part of the existence of the spirit that forever revolutionized one of the most complex and successful forms of art, lyrical theater.
Confluences Between Theater and Visual Arts: Van Gogh and Edvard Munch or From Tragedy to Dramaturgy
Authors:   National University of Arts in Bucharest, RADU Aura Evelina
Published: December 2023

Between the performing arts and visual arts, for example between theater and painting or graphics, there are multiple interferences, which are not limited to scenography and costume. Cultural references and visual quotes are just two directions of development of modern and contemporary theater. Artists can support plays through images, but they can just as well inspire dramaturgical texts, either through life and professional activity, or through their creation, in itself. From books such as “The Lives of Painters, Sculptors and Architects” signed by Giorgio Vasari or Giovanni Pietro Bellori, or from various works and biographical studies dedicated to artists, we can find out a lot of information that explains or completes what we know or what we can deduce directly from their work, but most of the time those aspects are conjunctural, explaining only the context of the professional training, the orders or the game of chance that led to the realization of their works, as they came to be known. About artists such as Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Claude Monet, Tolouse Lautrec, or more recently about Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali one can say that they have put themselves in their work, in addition to unparalleled mastery and personality. Rarely, however, there is such a continuity between life and artistic work, as in the case of Van Gogh and Edvard Munch.

Суспільство ризику: соціокультурний вимір безпеки
Authors: Ananin Valerii , Horlynskyi Viktor
Published: December 2023

У статті досліджується генезис поняття суспільства ризику, окреслено розвиток теоретичного дискурсу з проблематики ризиків у добу постмодерну. Показано, що для української соціально-філософської думки актуальність звернення до аналізу соціокультурного інструментарію розв’язання кризових проблем суспільства посилюється загрозами й ризиками, зумовленими війною з РФ. Розкрито мотивуючу роль культури як самоорганізуючого і самозберігаючого потенціалу людського розвитку. Проаналізовано погляд на цінності як субстанційну основу цивілізаційного розвитку. Доведено значущість ціннісного виміру культури безпеки, який полягає в тому, що цінності виконують функцію системи координат і еталонів соціальної поведінки, які визначають певний рівень довіри і захищеності суспільного життя. Розкриті специфічні функції і зміст культури безпеки у суспільстві ризику. Проаналізовано ціннісні засади культури як регулятивного чиннику підтримання безпеки в українському суспільстві в умовах воєнного часу.
Науково-політичні та комунікативні аспекти вирішення екологічних проблем (на прикладі поводження з відходами)
Authors: Gardashuk Tetiana
Published: December 2023

Зменшення кількості відходів та їх негативних впливів на довкілля і якість життя людини належить до глобальних екологічних викликів сучасності, які потребують комплексної відповіді. Aналізуються підходи до розв’язання проблеми поводження з відходами на локальному рівні. Поводження з відходами визначається як науково-політична проблема, оскільки успіх рішення залежить як від наукового обґрунтування, експертизи, рекомендацій, так і від розуміння цих рекомендацій політиками та суспільством загалом. Складність розв’язання науково-політичних проблем характеризується зростанням невизначеності, ціннісним навантаженням, високими ставкою (ціною), ризиками та терміновістю рішень (Ravetz). Показана продуктивність залучення місцевих цінностей (теорія локалізації), менеджменту спільного (Остром) та інтерпретації феномена NIMBY для формування підходів до вироблення управлінських і комунікативних стратегій у сфері поводження з відходами на локальному рівні. Масштабні руйнівні наслідки нинішньої російської агресії в Україні додали нових аспектів до проблеми поводження з відходами і значною мірою ускладнили реалізацію попередніх планів, вимагаючи ефективних нестандартних рішень.

A PHONO-STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF ROSE MILLIGAN’S POEM DUST IF YOU MUST
Authors: Margaretta Witness Eunike , Madi Salwa Saleh , Rangkuti Rahmadsyah
Published: December 2023

This research presented the stylistic analysis at the phonological level of Rose Milligan’s poem “Dust If You Must.” Through this poem, Rose Milligan beautifully emphasizes the importance of seizing our moment in life. Employing a qualitative data analysis approach, the study identified the five most prominent consonants and vowels, including /t/, /n/, /d/, /s/, /m/, and / ə/, /ʌ/, /ɪ/, /u/, /æ/, respectively. The data is displayed in four tables that show where these sounds appear in every line of the poem. The combination of these phonetic elements yielded words like ‘dust,’ ‘must,’ and ‘man,’ which strongly resonate with the poem’s theme. This focus on how the sounds in the poem connect to its meaning helps us understand the poem better. It shows that the poet chose these sounds on purpose to make the poem more meaningful. In addition, this emphasis on specific sounds can reinforce the themes and messages the poet intends to convey, deepening our comprehension of the connection between phonetics and interpreted meaning. This study has the potential to raise appreciation for literary works and support the development of new theories in stylistic analysis by providing a better understanding of how sounds in poems relate to the theme.
Constitutional Issues and Challenges in the Establishment and Operation of a Unified Platform for responding to missing children
Authors:   Korean Constitutional Law Asscciation, Kim Song-Ok
Published: December 2023

The desire to create new value through processing of data is not limited to businesses in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Citizen’s demands and expectations of the state have increased, and the state has increased the number of areas in which it must respond with faster and more convenient services. This has led to changes in the way personal data is processed by the state, and the scale of processing has increased to an unprecedented degree. The increasingly advanced intelligent information technology is also enabling and supporting these innovations.
For the purpose of providing better services to the public through rational and efficient administration, the state is linking or integrating the data processing systems and the databases held by each organization. There are a growing number of platforms that are understood as systems that make this possible.
As with any disaster or crisis, there is a window of opportunity to find missing children. If this golden time is missed, the child may go missing for a long period of time or be exposed to crime. Therefore, it is necessary to pool resources and efforts to find missing children within the golden time as much as possible. In this regard, the “unified platform for responding to missing children,” which allows public-private cooperation and applies intelligent information technology optimized for finding missing children, is gaining legitimacy. However, the platform requires a number of safeguards, as it can become a tool for surveillance if it is misused by collecting various personal information in one place.
Therefore, this paper attempts to identify why it is dangerous for the state to link or integrate data processing systems or databases, and what safeguards are necessary for the operation of the platform from a constitutional perspective.
Realization of Social Rights through Constitutional Review
Authors:   Korean Constitutional Law Asscciation, JEON Sang-Hyeon
Published: December 2023

This article examines ways to strengthen and to extend the realization of social rights through judicial review.
First, it can be considered to strengthen the realization of social rights by heightening the standard of review according to types and degrees of the legal interests at issue in individual cases. It is the same way that the Constitutional Court recently showed in the application of the principle of prohibition of under-protectiveness, which is a review standard for violation of the duty for state to protect constitutional rights.
Secondly, the realization of social rights can be expanded through judicial review with the right to equality(the principle of equality). Although the Constitutional Court cannot force the implementation of a specific policy for social welfare of people, it may require the State to expand the scope of beneficiaries of the social welfare on the ground of the right to equality(the principle of equality) once the State adopted the specific policy.
Thirdly, the decision of non-conformity serves as an appropriate and useful form of decision in the judicial review with social rights. With declaring that the current State’s action does not meet the level required by the Constitution and leaving specific methods for improving the situation to the National Assembly, the Constitutional Court can avoid questions about the legitimacy of judicial review raised from the principles of democracy or separation of powers, and the criticisms of the Court’s lack of ability to make proper judgments about the State's financial capacity or policy priorities.
In addition, the principle of legal stability serves to guarantee at least the current level of benefits by preventing from reduction or abolition without justifiable reasons, and the principle of Parliamentary Reservation strengthens the realization of social rights indirectly through heightening the standards of review regarding formal and procedural requirements of legislation.
Online Investigation and Constitutional Rights
Authors:   Korean Constitutional Law Asscciation, Soh Eunyoung
Published: December 2023

With the development of information and communication technology, crimes using information technology are evolving, and the seizure and search of smartphones and computers in criminal investigations is a necessary and convenient means of collecting evidence. In recent years, the dark web has led to an increase in criminal activity, such as drug dealing and child sexual exploitation. Online investigation is one of the newest techniques to combat these cyberspace-enabled crimes, which is “the act of a state accessing a target's IT system without the target's knowledge and collecting information therein.”
The need to introduce online investigation is also being discussed in South Korea. If online investigation is introduced in Korean criminal procedure, new legislation would be required. Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries regulate online investigation. In particular, in Germany, the law stipulates the requirements and procedures in detailed terms after the decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court.
If online investigation is introduced, it should minimize the restriction of constitutional rights. Online investigation can severely restrict the right to privacy, the right to self-determination over personal information, and the right to freedom of communication. In regulating online investigation, the crimes that can be investigated online must be strictly limited and it should be a last resort. Furthermore, procedural control by judges, management and supervision of the enforcement, deletion and destruction of collected information, and notification to the targeted person should be carefully stipulated.
Legislative Evaluation of the Cultural Diversity Act: Realization of the Constitutional Principle of Cultural Nation and Protection of Cultural Diversity
Authors:   Korean Constitutional Law Asscciation, Choi Kyungho
Published: December 2023

How does cultural diversity contribute to our lives? What is the difference between a society where cultural diversity is protected and promoted and a society that is not? The subject of this paper is how the Act on the Protection and Promotion of Cultural Diversity plays a role in the protection and promotion of cultural diversity after legislation and how it can be evaluated.
The enactment and enforcement of the Cultural Diversity Protection Act should be an important basis for practical cultural diversity protection and promotion in Korea. The Cultural Diversity Act is evaluated as an important law that can operate as a stabilizer in our society. The Cultural Diversity Act should be a legal and institutional device that can reduce cultural conflicts between members of society and groups, coordinate cultural values, and contribute to creative cultural development based on individual creativity and autonomy. Various national policies that can be implemented under the Cultural Diversity Act should help protect and promote practical aspects of cultural diversity.
The direction of the cultural diversity project is also important. Both bottom-up and top-down approaches are valuable and need an appropriate balance. Various attempts should be made to spread cultural diversity from below, such as a model to spread cultural diversity by establishing and revitalizing cultural and artistic networks among migrant groups, local governments, grassroots organizations, and culture and arts organizations.
The European I: Paul Celan’s Construction of a European Subject
Authors:   Europa-Universität Flensburg, Wolfgang Johann
Published: December 2023

The construction of a European subject is a major dimension of Paul Celan’s poetry: According to Celan, poems are ‘laden with world’; contexts, metaphors, and the relations of the lyrical I and You support the hypothesis that this means foremost a consciousness of a ‘historical world’. His poetry refers to a European history of suffering, injustice, and persecution. The poems support an individual, subjective perspective rather than a global perspective. The following article argues that this perspective of a lyrical subject is not only prevalent in Celan’s poetry, but in addition it’s a European perspective that his poems suggest, offer, and claim.
Borders, Fractions, Bridges. European negotiations of identity in Paul Celan’s Poem Pau, später
Authors:   Europa-Universität Flensburg, Dauth Lisa
Published: December 2023

Paul Celans poem Pau, später (1965) deals with negotiations of identity and plays – textual and formal – with connections and separations. In this way the text thematises the coherence be-tween different eras, locations, and people. The context of different religious persecutions demonstrates the cruelty of European history and connects those with each other who have been excluded because of their divergence from dominant denominations. The poem criticises rigid defining of identity and offers a diasporan view which includes tolerance for cultural hybridity. Pau, später reflects on the heterogeneity and the similarities in Europe, which is why the text can be classified as transcultural European poem.
„Schnee. Und mehr noch des Weißen“. Paul Celan’s Placeless Places
Authors:   Universitatea București, Decuble Gabriel H.
Published: December 2023

As many commentators have already pointed out “snow” is one of the main recurrent motifs in Celan’s poetry, hence the need to place it in the proper exegetical context. This implies at least for the first creative phase—i.e., prior to the publication of the volume Atemwende (1966)—, that “snow” remains closely related to the biographic experience and a sign of topographic uncertainty or even a judicial “non-lieu” —a non-place, in terms of a dismissed case—for horrific unpunished crimes of the past for which Celan’s poetry is struggling to testify. Thus, in Celan’s symbolical language, “snow” gradually becomes—just like the motifs of “ash” or “stone”—a silent witness of the Holocaust.

Of an order of 330 million surgeries are performed worldwide every year. Yet there is a backlog of around 150 million pending surgeries annually. Surgical robotics is becoming a lot more sophisticated by the day. Much of this increasing success is due to advances in Computer Vision (CV) . CV allows the tracking of tools, detection of organs, and a description of the phase of surgery that enables a surgeon to perform the delicate art of surgery with much greater precision and efficiency. These advancements have also enabled remote robotic surgery in which a patient and the surgeon can be far apart from each other geographically.

In this paper, we report promising results of evolving the architecture of capsule networks for tool classification for Computer-Aided Laparoscopy (CAL).
Integrated Simulation Approach for Dynamic Distributed Evacuation Guidance under Fire Spread and Rare but Catastrophic Events
Authors: Tsurushima Akira
Published: December 2023

The dynamics of smoke, fire, and toxic gases inside a building is complex and difficult to predict. Models have been used to analyze and develop efficient evacuation protocols for fire-spread evacuation situations. In this study, an integrated model that includes fire spread, evacuation agent, and evacuation guidance signage models, is developed as an efficient control mechanism for a dynamically distributed evacuation guidance system. This mechanism is based on Tsurushima’s distributed algorithm, which does not assume any central control and only requires local information in providing efficient evacuation guidance, thereby minimizing total evacuation time while directing evacuees away from hazards. The parameters of the mechanism were calibrated to mitigate the occurrence of low-probability catastrophic events, which is crucial in the development of evacuation guidance protocols.
A P-type Half-wrapped Shield SiC Trench MOSFET with Improved Breakdown and Switching Performance
Authors: Liu Yu
Published: December 2023

A novel SiC trench MOSFET with a P-type half-wrapped shield (HW-TMOS) is proposed and analyzed by the TCAD simulator. HW-TMOS could better shield the gate oxide from the high electric field in the off-state by extending the P shield below the gate to the side wall of the trench gate. The breakdown voltage of the device can be enhanced without causing significant degradation of the output characteristics. The peak electric field value of the gate oxide decreases by 64.9% compared with the conventional SiC trench MOSFET, in addition, the breakdown voltage increases by 13.7%. Meanwhile, the capacitance of the HW-TMOS has been optimized by converting the gate-drain capacitance of the trench gate side wall into the gate-source capacitance. The Cgd of HW-TMOS is 67pF/cm2 and the high-frequency FOM of the device is 51 mΩ·nC, which is 80.1% and 36.4% better than the traditional structure. The HW-TMOS has great advantages in reducing switching power due to the low gate-drain capacitance. Overall, the performance of the new structure is significantly improved, which can meet the high requirements of modern electronics for power devices.
Agglomerative Federated Learning:Empowering Larger Model Training via End-Edge-Cloud Collaboration

Published: December 2023

Federated Learning (FL) enables training Artificial Intelligence (AI) models over end devices without compromising their privacy. As computing tasks are increasingly performed by a combination of cloud, edge, and end devices, FL can benefit from this End-Edge-Cloud Collaboration (EECC) paradigm to achieve collaborative device-scale expansion with real-time access. Although Hierarchical Federated Learning (HFL) supports multi-tier model aggregation suitable for EECC, prior works assume the same model structure on all computing nodes, constraining the model scale by the weakest end devices. To address this issue, we propose Agglomerative Federated Learning (FedAgg), which is a novel EECC-empowered FL framework that allows the trained models from end, edge, to cloud to grow larger in size and stronger in generalization ability. FedAgg recursively organizes computing nodes among all tiers based on Bridge Sample Based Online Distillation Protocol (BSBODP), which enables every pair of parent-child computing nodes to mutually transfer and distill knowledge extracted from generated bridge samples. This design enhances the performance by exploiting the potential of larger models, with privacy constraints of FL and flexibility requirements of EECC both satisfied. Experiments under various settings demonstrate that FedAgg outperforms state-of-the-art methods by an average of 4.53% accuracy gains and remarkable improvements in convergence rate.

Published: December 2023

The main goal of Design for Testability (DFT) is to offer a way to test each node in the design (Netlist) for different kinds of defects in the chip. These nodes that are to be checked by using the intended number of patterns, the more thoroughly the design has been tested. Every node in the architecture must be visible(observable) and controlled for this to be achievable. These two concepts may be thought of as the cornerstones of DFT, which must be adhered to in order to get the most test coverage with the fewest possible patterns. This work is applied in the field of IC manufacturing before IC gets fabricated. The parameters like multi-voltages and temperature of IC will be determined with the help of Scan Insertion, ATPG pattern generation, EDT test compression and simulation using mentor graphics tool. In this script we are mainly concentrated on the compression process of the data volume and test time by generating automatic test patterns according to it and simulating 
MAINS: A Magnetic Field Aided Inertial Navigation System for Indoor Positioning
Authors: Huang Chuan , Hendeby Gustaf , Prieur Christophe , Fourati Hassen , Skog Isaac
Published: December 2023

A Magnetic field Aided Inertial Navigation System (MAINS) for indoor navigation is proposed in this paper. MAINS leverages an array of magnetometers to measure spatial variations in the magnetic field, which are then used to estimate the displacement and orientation changes of the system, thereby aiding the inertial navigation system (INS). Experiments show that MAINS significantly outperforms the stand-alone INS, demonstrating a remarkable two orders of magnitude reduction in position error. Furthermore, when compared to the state-of-the-art magnetic-field-aided navigation approach, the proposed method exhibits slightly improved horizontal position accuracy. On the other hand, it has noticeably larger vertical error on datasets with large magnetic field variations. However, one of the main advantages of MAINS compared to the state-of-the-art is that it enables flexible sensor configurations. The experimental results show that the position error after 2 minutes of navigation in most cases is less than 3 meters when using an array of 30 magnetometers. Thus, the proposed navigation solution has the potential to solve one of the key challenges faced with current magnetic-field simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) solutions — the very limited allowable length of the exploration phase during which unvisited areas are mapped.
