Glucose Control and Behavior Psychology of a T2D Patient using GH-Method: Mentality-Personality Modeling via Math-Physical Medicine (No. 306)
Authors:   eclaireMD Foundation, USA, Hsu Gerald C
Published: January 2022

In this article, the author used 10-years’ worth of data of glucoses and prominent lifestyle details such as diet and exercise to address his glucose trend pattern analysis and progressive lifestyle behavior modifications. This progressive lifestyle behavior modification is closely related to behavior psychology. The research methodology used is the GH-Method: math-physical medicine (MPM) approach which has been developed by the author over the past decade. This “Progressive Behavior Modification concept is also a part of his Mentality-Personality Modeling (MPM). He addresses the quantitative linkage between diabetes physiological phenomena and behavior psychological influences of a type 2 diabetes (T2D) patient

Published: January 2022

This article is Part 8 of the author’s linear elastic glucose behavior study which focuses on the deeper understanding of these two newly defined glucose coefficients, GH.f-modulus and GH.p-modulus. Findings have shown the sensitive relationships with health conditions such as obesity and diabetes and certain lifestyle components, e.g. carbs/sugar intake amount and post-meal walking steps. Hopefully in the near future, he will be able to develop a reasonable and applicable numerical ranges of these two glucose coefficients. He used his measured glucose data and predicted glucose models for both fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) for three patients with chronic diseases over the COVID-19 quarantined period, from 3/1/2020 to 11/10/2020.
The Now and the Universe

Published: January 2022

The present, at any particular moment, is the realization of one of the many intentions of the All-creating Intellect. Here "realization" specifically means the materialization or the appearance of an object in the material world, which had not existed until now. This newly born material object exists only for the duration of the moment of "now". This moment is infinitely short, or, if we use a concept from calculus, it is infinitesimal in duration. In my hypothesis, this new object is a product of a specific energy field of the All-creating Intellect. We call this particular energy field Time
Uniform Scaling: Relativistic Energy-Momentum Relationships
Authors:   Faculty of C-Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Gaussstr. 20, D-42097 Wuppertal, Germany, Buenker Robert J
Published: January 2022

A number of the most often cited results of relativity theory deal with the relationships between energy, momentum and inertial mass. The history of how Einstein and Planck came to these conclusions is reviewed. It is pointed out that considerations of how the speed of light is affected by the motion of the Earth played a determining role in these developments. After the Michelson-Morley null-interference result became available, Voigt introduced a new space-time transformation by amending the classical Galilean transformation so that the speed of light in free space has the same value of c regardless of the state of motion of both the light source and the observer. This led to the Lorentz transformation which has been the cornerstone of relativity theory for the past century. A thought experiment is presented which proves, however, that there are many situations for which the measured speed of light is NOT equal to c. Furthermore, it is pointed out that the rate of an inertial clock cannot change spontaneously, which result is perfectly compatible with Newton’s First Law of Kinetics (Law of Inertia). This result contradicts the space-time mixing characteristic of the Lorentz transformation and leads to the conclusion that events which are spontaneous for one inertial frame will also be so for every other one. The uniform scaling procedure is a generalization of this result for all other physical properties than elapsed times. Its application shows that the commonly accepted relationships between energy and momentum are only special cases in which it is assumed that the observer is stationary in the rest frame in which force has been applied to cause the object’s acceleration

Implementation of the Analytical Hierarchy Process Method and Multi Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis in the Selection of Insurance Products
Authors: Haviluddin Haviluddin , Budiman Edy , Ramadhan Rendy
Published: January 2022

Insurance product offerings are not always understood by prospective customers (CN) due to limited information related to products. This can cause confusion so that CN does not want to buy it. The purpose of this study is to analyze the selection of insurance products PT. AIA Financial Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Multi Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis (MOORA) approach so that CNs can choose based on insurance product facilities that match their abilities. In this study, as many as 10 types of insurance products and 10 CN criteria were then analyzed based on the two methods used. Then, the calculation accuracy of the two methods has been using the confusion matrix (CM) method. Based on the results of CM calculations from 27 CN datasets with a conformity level of 81.5%, it has been obtained which indicates that the two methods can be implemented as an alternative in choosing insurance products according to ability or based on CN criteria. The results show that this method is quite effective, efficient and relatively easy to use in determining insurance products that meet the criteria or according to CN's economic capabilities
ARCHAEOLOGICAL DOCUMENTATION OF HISTORICAL EVENTS IN THE HOLY QURAN - STORIES OF THE PROPHETS AS A MODEL-

Published: January 2022

The modern scientific revolution has imposed on the researcher to broaden his view by referring to more than one science in addressing his research issues, and in the light of the contemporary ideological debate that the unspoken and the accepted are recognized to without the slightest prestige, it is necessary to discuss what these debates erupt with objectivity and impartiality. The issue of the historical existence of the Qur’anic events, which was taken - according to Arab modernists - from the school of archaeological criticism of the Bible as an example, and since the prevailing belief among Muslims is the infallibility of the Holy Qur’an from distortion and falsification through recurrent and because it contained - equivalent to a third - on Historical events, including stories, and previous facts, it is not possible “beliefly” and “realistically” that the divine news contradict the achieved historical reality, and since the main purpose of the Holy Qur’an - including the verses of the stories - is guidance , the Qur’an has transmitted history To achieve this purpose without being a book of history that delves into the details and identifies the dates and respects the chronologies with precision and detail, it is not possible “methodologically” and “realistically” to require the archaeological evidence for each Qur’anic event, especially since the nature of the archaeological research itself He suffers from technical and epistemological gaps that make his discoveries and reading of him between the hypothesis of the results of the auxiliary sciences and the self-interpretation of the archaeologist, and the process of archaeological documentation of historical events in Holy Qur’an remains - if it is achieved - as a matter of concerted evidence - despite its suspicion - that raises the believer's faith - and faith in degrees. - It also obliges the non-believer in the Qur’an as a divine source to conform to the material evidence of the divine revelation or what is termed in Islamic thought with the « scientific miracles of the Holy Qur’an ».

Published: January 2022

The research aimed to reveal the role of the digitization literature, and the theories that explain it, in associating digitization and educational process, by adopting the qualitative approach, and grounded theory method. The research findings show that the aspects of approach between digitization and the educational process include five elements: teacher and learner, curriculum, educational tools, learning environment, and educational strategies. The most prominent recommendation is that officials should understand the importance of planning in the use of digitization technology, with the involvement active stakeholders in the field of education. Experts and researchers should be interested in conducting more researches about digitization and educational process.
Octave Band Technique for Noise Measurement at the Source, Path, and Receiver of Gas Turbines in Oil and Gas Facilities
Authors: Mohd Yunos Akmal Haziq , Azmir Nor Azali
Published: January 2022

Noise measurement is essential for industrial usage. However, further attention to preventing noise pollution is needed, especially when working with equipment generating a high noise level, such as gas turbines. This study aims to determine the best way to perform noise measurement and analyze the octave band frequency generated by noise pollution caused by gas turbine equipment. Data from site measurements show that the gas turbines produce more than 85 dB of noise with a Z-weighted measurement. A noise measuring investigation was conducted to obtain the data for the 1/3 octave band. A frequency-domain was used to comprehend the properties of the noise measurement frequency band. The frequency band was classified into three different zones called low, medium, and high frequency, which is useful in noise measurement analysis to identify a viable solution to reduce the noise. On-site sampling was performed at the source, path, and receiver of three separate gas turbine locations within oil and gas operations. The 1/3 octave band data collection results at the sound source, path, and receiver demonstrate the noise level distribution at the perimeter of gas turbine installations in the low and medium frequency ranges. Most of the high noise frequency range is between 250 Hz and 2 kHz for source, path, and receiver. All acquired values are compared to the Department of Safety and Health (Occupational Safety and Health (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019 in Malaysia. As a result, oil and gas service operators can monitor and take countermeasures to limit noise exposure at oil and gas facilities.

The article presents a universal method for determining the professional suitability (PS) of a candidate and an algorithm for forming a psychological profile for a specific profession based on determining the psychological potential of personality. The developed method is based on the use of automated support systems. Based on the obtained value of the integral indicator, a decision is made on the PS group of this candidate. This method adapts to the requirements of the profession to candidates, taking into account changes in the conditions of activity by adjusting the typical psychological profile of the personality. The developed method for determining a candidate’s PS has been brought to practical implementation in the form of an Automated Psychodiagnostic Complex (APDC) “Psychodiagnostics.” APDC has been tested on the example of the psychological selection procedures of personnel for military service in units with law enforcement functions. APDС allows to reduce the time and labor costs for conducting psychodiagnostic studies, increases the reliability of tests due to a higher degree of standardization of the testing procedure, increases the accuracy of assessing psychological characteristics, and reduces the likelihood of errors in the processing of test results. APDС can be used for recruiting in various sectors of the economy, education, and military sphere.
A Review of Thermal Design for Buildings in Hot Climates
Authors: Kharrufa Sahar Najeeb , Noori Firas
Published: January 2022

Most of the developed world currently lives above the tropic of Cancer in cold climate regions. It follows that most of the top architectural firms are from the same countries, and most of their work is based on that experience. Experience that does not travel well to hotter countries. This paper is mainly concerned with the climates of the Middle East region, which are hot in summer and have mild or cold winters, and where the humidity ranges from dry to humid. It is a review of the factors, designs, and solutions that designers sometimes ignore, undervalue, or on the other hand, put too much weight on when working in such climates. An overview of thermal solutions is conducted, and a critique and suitability of each one for hotter climates are offered. Some of the solutions, which are thought to be helpful, have little benefit, especially traditional ones, which are not up to present-day standards and lifestyles. Others, such as courtyards, do more harm than good. A couple of case studies to evaluate houses with and without thermal measures showed improvements of 23-48%. The paper will evaluate architectural, cooling, and building design solutions according to suitability in dry and medium humidity, warm and hot countries.
Drifting Producers
Authors: Scholte Tatja
Published: January 2022

Drifting Producers (2004) is an installation artwork built around three large
urban models representing a utopian city. [Figure 27] The installation is
created by a group of South Korean artists, designers, and curators who call
themselves Flying City. The installation is part of a larger project which the
artists carried out in an old neighbourhood in Seoul. The project and the
installation of Drifting Producers (they bear the same title) are interconnected,
although the project lasted for many years (2003–2009) and took
many different forms, such as art-and-community workshops, performances,
publications, and yet another installation artwork (no longer existent).
Dislodged from History, Confronted by Walls : Picturing Migration as a Global Emergency
Authors: Apel Dora
Published: January 2022

This essay examines select visual representations of refugees and migrants
as embodied subjects in photography, art, and video. It focuses on American
asylum politics and explores the questions of free movement, the right
to have rights, and the ethics and efficacy of border walls. It argues that
the catastrophe of global forced displacement makes the elimination of
national borders and the nation state itself a revolutionary necessity.
The Secret Life of Waste: Recycling Dreams of Migration
Authors: Göktürk Deniz
Published: January 2022

This essay opens up a new perspective on migration through the lens of
waste, tracing the effects of war, border securitization, and global capitalism
on a local scale. The analysis of Afganistanbul (2018), a short documentary
produced by a team at Kadir Has University in Istanbul where the book in
hand originated, captures the predicament of undocumented waste workers
in the city who lack the means to continue their journey to Europe or return
to their homeland, while resources and revenue in the global recycling
business circulate freely. Following the film in its close-up on a specific site of
life and labour, this essay teases out competing aspirations among local and
migrant city dwellers, arguing that representations of migrant experiences
are prone to the temptation of poverty porn and calling on spectators to
consider their own implication in interlocking systems of inequity.
Migrant Bodies in the Land/City/Seascapes of 2000s Turkish Cinema
Authors: Bayrakdar Deniz
Published: January 2022

In this essay, I explore the land-, sea-, and cityscapes in six films (five
Turkish and one Turkish German)—Bliss, The Wound, Rıza, Broken Mussels,
The Guest, and Seaburners—and their use of place and non-place.
Hamid Naficy’s concept of transitional space and Marc Augé’s notion of
non-place, based on Foucault’s concept of heterotopia, will be the basis
of the theoretical discussion. I focus on what I see as a major shift in the
representation of the migrant experience in the Turkish cinema of the
early and late 2000s, a shift from the land- and cityscapes to films whose
setting is the seascape. This shift, I argue, corresponds to changes in
the phases of migration that flow within and through Turkey, and both
government policies and the public perception.
Ruling on the Border : Landed Possessions from the Po Valley to the Apennines in Bononia’s Diocese
Authors: Manarini Edoardo
Published: January 2022

The sixth chapter deals with the Bolognese territory, an area located at the
edges of the Emilia region between the Italian kingdom and the exarchate of
Ravenna. After having acquired fiscal lands and thanks to the emphyteutic
bond with the Ravenna archbishops, the group established there a broad
seigneurial rule between the plain and the Apennines. Although it never
touched the city of Bologna, their hegemony extended over the plain to
the north towards the course of the Po and the Apennine valleys to the
south. Fundamental elements of their power were the many castles and
the foundation of the private monastery of S. Bartolomeo di Musiano.
Features and Practices of Power: From Officials to Lords
Authors: Manarini Edoardo
Published: January 2022

In this chapter, analysis is directed to the power enjoyed by the Hucpoldings,
their unique qualities, their relationships and the strategies they
adopted to build their seigneurial hegemony in the local communities
affected by their presence. From this perspective, the particularities of
their lordship are investigated. Their hegemony was achieved in a novel
way when compared with other Italian elites.
Discontinuity between Public Powers and Private Seigneurial Rule

Published: January 2022

The conclusion summarizes the key features of the Hucpoldings as a
wide kinship group. Beyond assessing once more the legitimacy of such
prosopographic effort by placing this research in the proper historiographical
context, it underlines that the specific attention given to the women
of the kindred and to their cognatic ties allows us to draw a varied and
striking picture of the Hucpoldings, and in general of early medieval elites
kinship groups, compared with previous studies.
Introduction
Authors: Manarini Edoardo
Published: January 2022

The introduction outlines the subject of the research. One of the most
relevant early medieval elite kinship groups of the Italian kingdom were
the Hucpoldings, named after that Hucpold who had held the office of
count palatine under Louis II. Key features of the research are the long
chronological range and the wide geographical area investigated. The chapter
then retraces the main historiographical steps taken in investigations of early
medieval kinship groups from the second half of the twentieth century until
the latest developments. A specific section is dedicated to the presentation
and analysis of the documentary and narrative sources used in this research.
Math and Modernity: Critical Reflections
Authors: Cadeddu Lucio
Published: January 2022

Besides the birth of new revolutionary concepts and methods, and of
new areas of research, mathematicians, logicians, and philosophers have
put into question the foundations of the discipline itself and the whole
meaning of “mathematical truth.” Before then, at the end of the eighteenth
century, mathematics was mainly concerned with explaining the “real
world” and its laws. At the beginning of the “modern era” things started
to change, sometimes slowly, other times abruptly. Abstract mathematics
was no longer intimately related to the real world and its description.
This abstract approach, both on research and on mathematical education,
generated critical reactions in the mathematical community, and
some “modern” ideas were rejected or neglected after several decades of
experimentation.
Project Modernity: From Anticolonialism to Decolonization
Authors: Fatima Shumaila , Jacobson David
Published: January 2022

This chapter considers anti-colonial and postcolonial movements as modernizing
and globalizing, particularly the three main streams: nationalist,
Marxist, and Islamist. Nationalist and Marxist movements convere with
the Western project, as represented in their vocabulary and emphasis
on development, science, and self-determination. All anti-colonial and
postcolonial societies have faced the task of reimagining their history.
Education has played a key role, as both a product of colonial history
and a response to it. The Islamic movements of interest to us represent a
more versatile narrative. Led by leaders such as Qutb in Egypt and Ilyas in
India and though grounded in anti-modern and anti-Western principles,
these movements mostly evolved to embody modern and contemporary
civic and political models.
Modernity and Decision-Making for Global Challenges
Authors: Dobbins Elizabeth G.
Published: January 2022

There are competing views on modernity. Some focus on the isolation of
the individual, bereft of traditions and rituals, while others optimistically
espouse the power of globalization, technology, and science to support
progress and enhance human life. The challenges created by emerging
diseases and human environmental impacts allow a new appreciation
of the power of coordinated human responses while highlighting the
limitations of globalization, technology, and science. Both climate change
and the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrate that science and technology
provide rapidly updated information, but immediate solutions reside
in aggregate changes in personal behavior supported by regulation and
governmental or trans-governmental agencies. These requirements for
personal responsibility challenge individual powerlessness and highlight
the necessity of communal responses to global challenges.
Public Health Confronts Modernity in the Shadow of the Pandemic
Authors: Cooper Richard
Published: January 2022

Empirical science in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries transformed
public health. Improvement in nutrition and living conditions were the
driving forces, linked to basic sanitation. The principles of public health
also proved highly effective in prevention of chronic disease, such as
cardiovascular disease and cancer. However, the dominant force in biomedicine
has become genomics and “precision medicine,” both of which
ignore the role of environmental exposures, and focus on individual, not
collective risk. Genetic determinism and technological solutions have
narrowed the scope of research aimed at improving population health,
and reduced the benefits that biomedical science and public health could
provide. The COVID-19 pandemic is the same story in bold print.
Human Identity and COVID-19
Authors: Id Yassine Rachid , Mesa Beatriz
Published: January 2022

This chapter bases itself on the premise that the society that will emerge
from this COVID-19 health crisis will inevitably differ from the current
one. People have become more vulnerable, and this sense of vulnerability,
fragility, and uncertainty has spread throughout society, and is no longer
limited to certain social groups. The contemporary idea of security has
also collapsed in societies that no longer seem secure, predictable, or
under control. This situation of a weakened society is the first paradigm
shift, brought forth alongside the notion of identity linked to time, space,
and humanity. To that end, we carry out a review of the events which
triggered the crisis in Europe and Africa.
Environmentalism: A Challenge to Modernity
Authors: Farro Antimo Luigi
Published: January 2022

This chapter discusses the environmental movement vis-à-vis modernity in
the last century. Starting in the early 70s, the contemporary environmental
movement consists of articulated collective action opposing polluting
agents in different areas of the world, and pursuing a new planetary natural
equilibrium. This movement aims to construct a new more balanced model
for natural development by scientific and technical means. This movement
doesn’t pursue a romantic project to protect nature against modernity
and modernization, nor a denial of modernity, nor modernity as a crisis,
but a new way to understand and change the world. The environmental
movement produces a critical consciousness of both itself and modernity.
The Missing Body
Authors: Akil Hatem N.
Published: January 2022

This chapter considers the presumed absence of figurative representations
in Islamic art, which to some is yet another indication of Islam’s
inability to face and represent reality (accept modernity) – as opposed
to the body-centric aesthetics of the Renaissance. It is discovered that
Islamic history in fact overflows with examples of representations of
sentient life. The contrast between Islam’s figurative art (as secular) and
abstract and geometric art (as sacred) should not be seen as contradictory,
but as a case of cultural simultaneity, which reflects an Islamicate daily
life that has always been both religious and secular at the same time.
The Santacroce Houses along the Via in Publicolis in Rome : Law, Place and Residential Architecture in the Early Modern Period
Authors: De Raedt Nele
Published: January 2022

This contribution explores the place-making mechanisms at work in the law
system of early modern Italy, and their relation to the design of urban residential
architecture. Particular attention is directed at punishments of exclusion,
whereby an individual or family was physically displaced from the civitas and
their property was sequestered, confiscated or destroyed. As argued here, the
effectiveness of these punishments depended on and further strengthened the
close relation between a given family and its place of residence. The place-making
mechanisms of law are explored through the specific case of the Santacroce
family, whose urban property was confiscated and destroyed following their
conflict with the Della Valle in fifteenth-century Rome. By reconstructing the
design of the Santacroce residences, before and after their sentenced destruction,
this study demonstrates how the choice of site, typology and ornamentation in
urban residential architecture acquire new meaning when viewed against legal
practices of exclusion.
The Spedale di Santa Maria della Scala and the Construction of Siena
Authors: Merrill Elizabeth
Published: January 2022

The Spedale di Santa Maria della Scala was central to the development of architecture
and infrastructure in early modern Siena. A major landowner and patron,
the hospital institution oversaw the construction of a wide range of buildings
throughout the commune, and also played a crucial role in the perpetuation of
a distinctly Sienese corpus of technical knowledge. Archival records attest to
the presence of the Spedale’s building workshop, which contributed workers,
materials and expertise to both the institution’s projects, as well as those involving
Siena’s infrastructure and defences. Several fifteenth-century model books
trace the technical tradition spearheaded by the Scala. Assembled by individual
practitioners, the books bolstered a collective memory, delineating the ideas and
structures that made Siena a place.
Friendship and Antagonism
Authors: Makoto Tachibana
Published: January 2022

This paper is particularly concerned with the economic aspects of the
Thirteenth Dalai Lama’s Mongolian exile. His presence there eclipsed the
authority of Mongolia’s highest incarnation, the Jebtsundamba Khutughtu,
and offerings formerly given to the Mongolian leader were gifted to the
Tibetan leader. Tibetans accompanying their leader also became an
important economic presence in Mongolia, and in the final part of the
paper the author discusses the implications of this Tibetan presence after
1913, when Mongolia and Tibet afforded each other mutual diplomatic
recognition amidst claims to independence. The revitalization of the
interchange between Tibet and Mongolia resulted not only in friendship,
but also in antagonism.
A Study of three Tibetan letters attributed to Dorzhiev held by the St. Petersburg Branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Authors: Yumiko Ishihama , Takehiko Inoue
Published: January 2022

This article discusses three Tibetan letters held by the St. Petersburg
Branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences and originally
collected by the Russian Orientalist Fyodor Shcherbatskoy. The three
letters are attributed to the well-known figure of Agvaan Dorzhiev, the
Buryat who became an aide of the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, but the authors
determine that only the third letter is actually by Dorzhiev, while the
other two were composed by a Kalmyk leader. The article discusses the
historical significance of each of the letters and provides an annotated
translation of them.
Russian Archival Documents on the Revitalization of Buddhism Among the Kalmyks in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
Authors: Kitinov Baatr
Published: January 2022

Baatr Kitinov’s paper uses Russian archival documents to examine the late
nineteenth century revitalisation of Buddhism among the Russian Kalmyk
population. He identifies three stages in this process: 1. 1860–1880, when
Mongols wanted to “find” an incarnation of the Seventh Jebtsundamba
Khutughtu among the Kalmyks (“Turgut”) in Russia or Olüts in Chinese
Xinjiang; 2. 1880–1904, when the Dalai Lama was in Mongolia and Kalmyks
traveled to Tibet; and 3. from 1904 to the first years of Soviet power, during
which they maintained close contacts with the Dalai Lama. He also identifies
three internal factors for the revitalization of Buddhism amongst the
Kalmyks: 1. the revival of Tantrism in khurul practices; 2. the presence of
Buddhists from other lands among Kalmyks; 3. and the Russian authorities
permitting Kalmyks to visit the Dalai Lama in Urga.
Russian Tsar as Cakravartin
Authors: Tsyrempilov Nikolay
Published: January 2022

Based on Russian archival documents and hitherto poorly known primary
sources, Nikolay Tsyrempilov’s paper is a study of the Buryat Buddhist
perception and interpretation of the Russian emperors’ enthronement
ceremonies. Buryat Buddhist hierarchs were among the many Central
Asian elites invited to the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II in 1896. The
paper argues that the Buddhists did not simply share their Orthodox
counterparts’ understanding of the ceremony, but also gave new meaning
to it within the frames of their own religious worldview and Buddhist
conceptions of kingship. In this understanding, Moscow and St. Petersburg
became Pure Lands made holy thanks to the presence of an enlightened
deity, the Tsar.
Higher-Order Multiple Object Tracking
Authors: Henschel Roberto D.
Published: January 2022

This dissertation deals with camera-based offline multiple object tracking and explores higher-order data association models. Due to their extensive exploitation of the available information, such models are promising approaches in current research. However, they commonly represent NP-hard optimization problems so that their application in practice is challenging.

The first part of this thesis proposes a binary quadratic program that enables to globally fuse signals within a higher-order data association model. This enables to overcome weaknesses of the individual signals. An approximate solver based on the Frank-Wolfe algorithm is presented and analyzed. Its benefit is demonstrated in two setups: fusion of two detectors and combining signals coming from a video and body-worn inertial measurement units. The second part of this thesis proposes an extension of the disjoint path model by higher-order information and connectivity priors, resulting in a binary linear program. Efficient separation algorithms are proposed and integrated into a cutting-plane algorithm, making it possible for the first time to solve higher-order data association globally in practice.

Authors: Silva e Silva Natalia , Brito Cartágenes Anete , Favacho Leida , Almeida Ivone , De Borborema Garcia Pedreira Juliana , Nelo Pedreira Erick
Published: January 2022

Objective: In view of the scarcity of research aimed at patients with special needs in our region, this study aims to identify the pathologies, such as age, gender, place of origin and prevalence of caries and periodontal disease in patients enrolled in a public dental service in Belém aimed at the care of people with special needs. Method: Retrospective cross-sectional study, where the data collected in the medical records of the patients enrolled in SIDOPE-UFPA were analyzed. Results: At the end of the data collection, 219 medical records of patients eligible to participate in the study were divided into groups, such as Behavioral Disorder (27.85%), Non-Progressive Brain Encephalopathy (10.5%), Syndromes and malformations (8.7%), Intellective deficit (7.76%), among others. The prevalence of caries was 71.23% and Periodontal Disease was 23.7%; (61.6%) and Belém (62.5%) were the most prevalent place of origin. Conclusion: According to the research, most patients still need treatment, due to the high caries index found, and mainly preventive measures so that these numbers can be reduced in the future. It was also observed the complexity and variety of diseases in the patients enrolled, and the incidence of rare syndromes that should and should be studied more specifically, not only by dentistry, but also by professionals from other areas, emphasizing the importance of care multiprofessional approach to these patients.

Một nghiên cứu mô tả được thực hiện với mục tiêu đánh giá  sự thay đổi tổng dung tích phổi (TLC)  ở 869 đối tượng nghiên cứu là những người tiếp xúc trực tiếp bụi silic trong quá trình làm việc, đã được chụp phim xquang phổi theo tiêu chuẩn ILO để chẩn đoán bụi phổi silic. Sau đó các đối tượng được đo chức năng hô hấp và đo tổng dung tích phổi (TLC). Kết quả cho thấy: Tỷ lệ người lao động có giảm TLC là 10,5% (91/869); có mối liên quan chặt chẽ giữa mắc bụi phổi silic đám mờ lớn với suy giảm TLC (p<0,001); chưa thấy có mối liên quan giữa mắc bụi phổi silic nốt mờ nhỏ với sự suy giảm TLC (p>0,05); Có mối liên quan chặt chẽ giữa các mức độ giảm chỉ số FVC với giảm TLC trong phân tích đơn biến và đa biến (p<0,001). Nên tiếp tục sử dụng các kỹ thuật, chỉ số đo chức năng hô hấp thông thường như FVC để đánh giá giảm chức năng hô hấp hạn chế, trong trường hợp cần sự chính xác cao thì dùng chỉ số kỹ thuật cao TLC.

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji impelementasi manajemen dana pada bank syariah. Pengelolaan dana Bank Syariah merupakan upaya untuk mengarahkan posisi dana yang diterima bank syariah dari kegiatan mengumpulkan dana menyalurkan dana dalam bentuk pembiayaan sehingga bank syariah tetap mampu memenuhi kriteria-kriteria likuiditas, rentabilitas dan solvabilitas. Sumber pendanaan bank syariah diantaranya berasal dari dana sendiri, Dana Pihak Ketiga (DPK) dan dana pinjaman. Dana bank syariah bisa berasal dari modal yaitu modal inti (core capital), kuasi ekuitas (Mudharabah Account), dan dana titipan (wadiah). Sementara itu penggunaan dana pada bank syariah terdiri atas pengeluaran untuk Earning Assests dan Non Earning Assets. Metode yang digunakan bank syariah didalam mengalokasikan dananya dibedakan menjadi dua pendekatan dengan mempertimbangan sumber dana yang diperoleh bank syariah yaitu Pool of fund approach dan Asset allocation approach.
