Authors: Silaen Riama Novalia , Br. Sembiring Tamaulina
Published: June 2024

This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods to examine the legal protection of intellectual property rights (HMI) in the digital era. The research results show that the legal protection of HMI in the digital era still faces various significant challenges. Even though regulations such as Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright and Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE) exist, their implementation could be more effective. The leading causes are a need for more public knowledge and awareness about the importance of HMI, as well as limited law enforcement resources and technology. Collaboration between the government and digital platforms needs to be improved, while international cooperation is also crucial in dealing with cross-border HMI violations. This research recommends increasing public education and awareness, strengthening regulations, adopting advanced technology such as AI, closer cooperation with digital platforms, increasing law enforcement capacity and resources, and efficient dispute resolution mechanisms. With a more holistic and integrated approach, HMI protection in the digital era can be significantly improved, providing justice for rights owners and encouraging the development of a healthier and more innovative creative industry.

The paper presents comparative results of laboratory studies for predicting the performance of various spotting fluids and mudcake compositions in order to select the most suitable spotting fluid for alleviating pressure differential sticking of drill strings. Experimental studies of an oil based spotting fluid «Spot-Free» and a Glycol based spotting fluid were conducted using a new method and apparatus developed by researchers at Saudi Aramco to quantify the effectiveness of various spotting fluids. Results of the performance of the experimented spotting fluids were evaluated with the determination of their short-term impact on the adhesive and cohesive forces that cause sticking of the drill string to the wellbore walls. Comparative analyses of the experimental results presented in this study indicate that the Glycol-based spotting fluid has the best performance in reducing the sticking bond strength at the mud cake-pipe interface with a percentage superiority as compared to the oil-based «Spot-Free» spotting fluid.
Unified Robust Boosting
Authors: Wang Zhu
Published: June 2024

Boosting is a popular algorithm in supervised machine learning with wide applications in regression and classification problems. It combines weak learners, such as regression trees, to obtain accurate predictions. However, in the presence of outliers, traditional boosting may yield inferior results since the algorithm optimizes a convex loss function. Recent literature has proposed boosting algorithms that optimize robust nonconvex loss functions. Nevertheless, there is a lack of weighted estimation to indicate the outlier status of observations. This article introduces the iteratively reweighted boosting (IRBoost) algorithm, which combines robust loss optimization and weighted estimation. It can be conveniently constructed with existing software. The output includes weights as valuable diagnostics for the outlier status of observations. For practitioners interested in the boosting algorithm, the new method can be interpreted as a way to tune robust observation weights. IRBoost is implemented in the R package irboost and is demonstrated using publicly available data in generalized linear models, classification, and survival data analysis.

Trata-se, neste trabalho, da efetividade dos gastos públicos em educação no Ensino Médio público, com o objetivo de analisar esses gastos em correlação com resultados do Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (Ideb) referentes a esse nível de ensino. Para tanto, parte-se, por meio de pesquisa documental, da revisão de literatura dos conceitos referentes a orçamento público, financiamento da educação, Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE), orçamento por resultados e controle das cortes de contas, utilizando-se também como metodologia ferramentas de estatística descritiva na busca de correlação entre variáveis de gasto público e os resultados do Ideb. Os dados foram coletados no Instituto de Pesquisas Econômicas Avançadas (Ipea) e no Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep), para os períodos de 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 e 2017. Orientaram o estudo os seguintes questionamentos: (i) A atual estrutura orçamentária em educação é capaz de gerar resultados no Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (Ideb) do Ensino Médio público? (ii) Há relação de causalidade entre os gastos públicos em educação e o Ideb do Ensino Médiopúblico? (iii) Essa relação impacta a qualidade da educação? Com os resultados deste estudo, verificou-se que a efetividade não se restringe ao valor investido e que é fundamental uma administração eficaz dos recursos, destacando-se que o mero aumento nos investimentos em educação não é suficiente para alcançar índices satisfatórios no Ideb.Palavras-chave: orçamento público; financiamento público; educação;
Adoption of Climate-Smart Rice Production Practices and Technologies: A Tool Towards Rice Production Efficiency and Agricultural Sustainability
Authors: Allera Ma. Rosa , Flores Leonard
Published: June 2024

Climate change and high rice imports pose significant threats to local rice production, food security, and the livelihoods of rice farmers. This study examines the potential of climate-smart rice practices and technologies to enhance domestic production and adapt to environmental changes in major rice-producing municipalities within South Cotabato, Region 12, focusing on the clusters of Norala, Santo Niño, and Banga. Using surveys from 189 farmers and interviews with technical personnel, the study identified synchronous planting, alternate wetting and drying (AWD), and direct seeding as the most commonly adopted practices. Conversely, rainwater catchment facilities and Rice Crop Manager (RCM) technology had lower adoption rates. Cost and return analyses demonstrated increased yields and net income for farmers employing the most adopted practices. The findings suggest that higher adoption rates for climate-smart practices can be achieved through training programs, financial assistance, and community demonstrations. The study recommends collaboration between the Department of Agriculture and other stakeholders to enhance farmer awareness, develop agricultural education programs, and provide vocational training on sustainable practices to attract young farmers. Financial and technical support for farmers is also essential. Replicating the study in other regions and with different farmer groups will strengthen its findings. By empowering farmers to achieve higher yields, secure income, and environmental protection, climate-smart rice production offers a sustainable path toward national rice security.
La pensión de viudedad en las crisis de las parejas de hecho
Authors: García Campuzano Rosa
Published: June 2024

Los requisitos de acceso a la pensión de viudedad tras la muerte del causante, de los integrantes de las parejas de hecho que han sufrido una ruptura, regulados a través del art. 221 del LGSS, introducido por la Ley 21/2021 de 28 de diciembre de 2021, conllevan a numerosas controversias. El legislador social, lejos de normalizar, de forma autónoma la atribución de la prestación pública en los casos indicados, lo hace trascribiendo el art. 220 de la citada ley. El precepto indicado, al mismo tiempo, hace una remisión a la normativa civil. De este modo, se condiciona la percepción de la pensión de viudedad en los supuestos señalados, entre otros requisitos: a ser acreedor de una pensión compensatoria, y a que esta quede extinguida con la muerte del deudor. Pese a lo indicado, la asignación de esta pensión por desequilibrio no está contemplada para los supuestos de las parejas de hecho, lo que conlleva a la inviabilidad práctica de la norma.

Sosyal duygusal gelişimin sağlıklı bir şekilde sürdürülebilmesi için duygusal yeterlilik ve olumlu duygu sosyalleşmesine ihtiyaç vardır. Bu doğrultuda araştırmada, okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının duygusal yeterliliklerinin onların duygu sosyalleştirme stratejilerini ne kadar açıklayabildiği incelenmiştir. Araştırma, yordayıcı korelasyon modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini farklı illerden toplam altı devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören, iki dönem ‘öğretmenlik uygulaması’ dersini almış 346 (yaş 20-37, ort=23,55) okul öncesi eğitimi 4. sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Veriler, çoklu regresyon analizlerinden hiyerarşik regresyon analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları incelendiğinde, duygularının farkında olup sağlıklı duygu düzenlemeler yapan öğretmen adaylarının çocukların duygularını kabul edip olumsuz duygularıyla başetmelerini sağlayıcı tepkiler vererek olumlu duygu sosyalleştirme yaptıkları görülmüştür. Bunun aksine duygularını tanımada ve ifade etmede zorluk yaşayıp sağlıklı duygu düzenlemeler yapamayan öğretmen adaylarının çocukların duygularına ihmal edici ya da cezalandırıcı tepkiler vererek olumsuz duygu sosyalleştirme yaptıkları ortaya konmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda, okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının duygusal yeterliliklerinin onların duygu sosyalleştirme stratejilerini önemli derecede açıklayabildiği saptanmıştır. Duygusal farkındalığı yüksek ve duygu düzenlemesi olumlu olan öğretmen adaylarının daha olumlu duygu sosyalleştirme yaptıkları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Hierarchical Autoencoder-Based Lossy Compression for Large-Scale High-Resolution Scientific Data
Authors: Le Hieu , Tao Jian
Published: June 2024

Lossy compression has become essential an important technique to reduce data size in many domains. This type of compression is especially valuable for large-scale scientific data, whose size ranges up to several petabytes. Although Autoencoder-based models have been successfully leveraged to compress images and videos, such neural networks have not widely gained attention in the scientific data domain. Our work presents a neural network that not only significantly compresses large-scale scientific data, but also maintains high reconstruction quality. The proposed model is tested with scientific benchmark data available publicly and applied to a large-scale high-resolution climate modeling data set. Our model achieves a compression ratio of 140 on several benchmark data sets without compromising the reconstruction quality. 2D simulation data from the High-Resolution Community Earth System Model (CESM) Version 1.3 over 500 years are also being compressed with a compression ratio of 200 while the reconstruction error is negligible for scientific analysis.

Strong and Weak in the History of the Gutnish Verb System
Authors: Jordan Caspar
Published: June 2024

Gutnish has been spoken on the Baltic island of Gotland for over 1,000 years. For much of this time, the verb system of Gutnish was very similar to those of its close relatives on the North Germanic branch. However, in the 19th century, a number of significant changes transformed the Gutnish verb system from a typical Germanic system with a fairly strict lexical division into strong and weak verb classes into a system with a large number of mixed verbs, where paradigms contain parallel strong and weak forms. This article explores these changes and a number of possible explanations for them, including morphophonological changes, language contact and cross-linguistic overcorrection. All of these factors are woven into a scenario where a sudden wave of immigration hits a speaker community that is ready for change.

Use of the frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery and the postauricular vein to overcome anatomic variations of superficial temporal vessels in scalp reconstruction with free tissue transfer: a case report
Authors: Kim Dong-Jin , Park Hojin
Published: June 2024

The superficial temporal artery (STA) bifurcates into frontal and parietal branches. The parietal branch is used as a recipient vessel for scalp reconstruction, but it is absent in approximately 16.3% of individuals. In this case, a 72-year-old woman with an occipital scalp defect lacked both the parietal branch of the STA and the superficial temporal vein. To address this anatomic variation, we used the frontal branch of the STA and the posterior auricular vein as alternative recipient vessels for anterolateral thigh free flap reconstruction. The surgical procedure involved end-to-end microvascular anastomosis of one artery and one vein. Partial flap necrosis occurred postoperatively, but eventually resolved with debridement. The frontal branch of the STA and the posterior auricular vein can serve as reliable alternatives in the absence of the parietal branch. Reconstructive surgeons should be aware of anatomic variations of the STA and adapt their surgical approach accordingly.

Published: June 2024

Background: The introduction of presurgical nasoalveolar molding represented a significant departure from traditional molding methods. Developed by Grayson and colleagues in 1993, this technique combines an intraoral molding device with a nasal molding stent. This study aimed to compare the Grayson nasoalveolar molding appliance versus DynaCleft appliance as two methods of presurgical nasoalveolar molding.Methods: A single-blinded, randomized, parallel-arm clinical trial was conducted. Sixteen infants with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate were enrolled and divided into two groups of eight. Group 1 was treated with a modified Grayson nasoalveolar molding appliance that included a nasal stent, while group 2 was treated with DynaCleft elastic adhesive tape and an external nasal elevator. Standardized digital photographs of each infant were taken at baseline and post-treatment using a professional camera. Nine extraoral anthropometric measurements were obtained from each image using image measurement software.Results: The modified Grayson nasoalveolar appliance demonstrated a more significant improvement compared to DynaCleft in terms of alar length projection (on both sides), columella angle, and nasal tip projection. Symmetry ratios also showed enhancement, with significant improvements observed in nasal width, nasal basal width, and alar length projection (p< 0.05).Conclusion: Both the modified Grayson nasoalveolar appliance and DynaCleft appear to be effective presurgical infant orthopedics treatment options, demonstrating improvements in nasolabial aesthetics. The modified Grayson appliance, equipped with a nasal stent, improved nasal symmetry more effectively than DynaCleft, resulting in a straighter columella and a more medially positioned nasal tip.

This case study describes a 67-year-old female patient who presented with shortness of breath and quick exhaustion. In 2018, initial symptoms led to a diagnostic thoracic CT scan, which confirmed sarcoidosis using endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). Despite the diagnosis, the patient did not receive treatment. A 2023 bone marrow biopsy revealed that the disease had progressed to include heart failure and thrombocytopenia. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was used for cardiological examination, which revealed impaired left ventricular wall motion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed severe cardiac involvement by detecting full-thickness late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the left ventricle. This case report emphasizes the complexity and diversity of sarcoidosis symptoms, supporting a multidisciplinary approach for correct diagnosis and individual treatment approach.

Published: June 2024

Objective
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease requiring intervention, particularly in developed countries. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is indicated for patients with a high surgical risk and a post-procedural survival expectancy of more than 12 months. Over the years, the TAVR method has emerged as a significant treatment option for patients with symptomatic severe AS and has begun to be implemented in our country as well. The objective of this study was to evaluate the short and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing TAVR at our center, as well as to assess our institution's experience with the TAVR procedure.
Methods
This retrospective, single-center analysis included 16 consecutive patients with symptomatic AS who underwent TAVR between March 2022 and February 2024. All patients included in the study underwent implantation of a balloon-expandable TAVR valve. In the study, the demographic characteristics of patients preoperatively and during post-procedural follow-ups, their clinical status preoperatively and postoperatively, and echocardiographic findings were evaluated and compared.
Results
The mean age of the entire population was 78.3 ± 8.7 years, and 50% were women. Transfemoral access was used in 93.8% of patients. Implantation success was achieved in all cases. During the TAVI procedure, 12.5% of patients required permanent pacemaker implantation. The mean length of hospital stay for the entire cohort was 4.5±2.3 days. There wasn’t show in-hospital deaths occurred before hospital discharge. During the follow-up, it was observed that 3 patients died from all-cause mortality. The mean follow-up duration of the study was 552 days, with the longest follow-up being 666 days. The significant improvement was noted in all echocardiographic parameters and functional capacity. No cases with moderate or severe aortic regurgitation, necessitating additional procedures.
Conclusion
Our center results with TAVR over a 2-year span consistent with broader studies. Despite some procedure-related complications, advancements in devices and techniques are expected to reduce these, enhancing outcomes with increased procedural experience. With medicine favoring less invasive approaches, TAVR is poised to become a more prevalent alternative to surgery across diverse patient cohorts.

İplik üretiminin önemli bir aşaması olan tarak makinesinde üretim parametrelerinin değişimi sonrasında elde edilen şerit, fitil ve iplik kalitesinde önemli etkilere sahip olabilmektedir. Tarak makinesinde özellikle temel üretim elemanlarındaki hız değişiminin kaliteye olacak etkisi merak konusu olmuştur. Bu aşamada özellikle üretimde kullanılacak hammadde önemli bir referans oluşturmaktadır. İplik işletmelerinde normal üretim parametrelerinde değişiklik yaparak uygun çalışma şartlarının oluşturulması kolay olmamaktadır. Literatürde de bu yönüyle özellikle farklı hammaddeler için referans alınacak fazla çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu yüzden araştırmada tarak makinesinin tambur, brizör ve şapka hız parametreleri değiştirilerek, sonraki prosesler de kaliteye olan etkisi incelenmiştir. Parametre olarak 3’ü aynı anda seçilmiştir. Bunun sebebi, bu 3 eleman (brizör, tambur ve şapka) aynı motordan kayış kasnak sistemi ile tahrik aldığından birisi tek başına sabit tutulamamaktadır. Yapılan çalışmada, C601 MARZOLİ tarak makinesinin tambur hızının maksimum ve minimum çalışma sınır değerleri belirlendikten sonra 2 adet ara kademe seçilmiştir. Bu durumda toplam 4 hız değişimi ele alınmıştır. Bu hız değişimlerinin oransal değişişim durumlarına göre brizör ve şapka hızları da değişmiştir. Daha sonra üretilen tarak şeridi, cer 1. pasaj şeridi, cer 2. pasaj şeridi, fitil ve iplik olarak tüm proseslerde ki kalite parametreleri incelenmiştir. Kalite parametrelerini incelemek için USTER TESTER 4, USTER HVI, USTER TENSOJET-4 ve USTER NEP TESTER 720 cihazları kullanılmıştır. Yapılan testlerden elde edilen veriler analiz edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda tarak tambur hız değişimin sonraki proseslerde, kaliteyi değiştirdiği gözlemlenmiş ve seçilen hammaddede hız değişiminin olumlu yönde bir etkisi olduğu gözlenmiştir.

Due to climate change and the recent increase in the number of floods in urbanized areas, there is a growing need for the introduction of new technologies into the road material market. One such technology is water- permeable mineral-resin surfaces, which are becoming increasingly popular. However, due to a lack of clear requirements and solution approval procedures, they are not commonly used in public investments. This paper first describes the materials used for preparing surface samples, including bulk density and granulometric aggregate tests, consistency, colour, and density at 20 °C testing of the hardener and resin. It then outlines the process of sample preparation and provides a brief description of the materials used. The tests conducted on the prepared material samples included flexural and compressive strength tests, frost resistance tests under normal conditions and in the presence of salts, and skid resistance tests. Based on the results obtained, it can be generally concluded that, in the case of permeable surfaces, the type of aggregate is an important factor, as evidenced by the results of the strength tests. The same can be stated about the influence of atmospheric factors. Tests conducted with granite aggregate proved to be more resistant to cyclically changing temperatures, even in the presence of salt.

Homeostatic plasticity represents a set of mechanisms that are thought to recover some aspect of neural function. One such mechanism called AMPAergic scaling was thought to be a likely candidate to homeostatically control spiking activity. However, recent findings have forced us to reconsider this idea as several studies suggest AMPAergic scaling is not directly triggered by changes in spiking. Moreover, studies examining homeostatic perturbations in vivo have suggested that GABAergic synapses may be more critical in terms of spiking homeostasis. Here, we show results that GABAergic scaling can act to homeostatically control spiking levels. We found that perturbations which increased or decreased spiking in cortical cultures triggered multiplicative GABAergic upscaling and downscaling, respectively. In contrast, we found that changes in AMPA receptor (AMPAR) or GABAR transmission only influence GABAergic scaling through their indirect effect on spiking. We propose that GABAergic scaling represents a stronger candidate for spike rate homeostat than AMPAergic scaling.

Complex macro-scale patterns of brain activity that emerge during periods of wakeful rest provide insight into the organisation of neural function, how these differentiate individuals based on their traits, and the neural basis of different types of self-generated thoughts. Although brain activity during wakeful rest is valuable for understanding important features of human cognition, its unconstrained nature makes it difficult to disentangle neural features related to personality traits from those related to the thoughts occurring at rest. Our study builds on recent perspectives from work on ongoing conscious thought that highlight the interactions between three brain networks - ventral and dorsal attention networks, as well as the default mode network. We combined measures of personality with state-of-the-art indices of ongoing thoughts at rest and brain imaging analysis and explored whether this ‘tri-partite’ view can provide a framework within which to understand the contribution of states and traits to observed patterns of neural activity at rest. To capture macro-scale relationships between different brain systems, we calculated cortical gradients to describe brain organisation in a low dimensional space. Our analysis established that for more introverted individuals, regions of the ventral attention network were functionally more aligned to regions of the somatomotor system and the default mode network. At the same time, a pattern of detailed self-generated thought was associated with a decoupling of regions of dorsal attention from regions in the default mode network. Our study, therefore, establishes that interactions between attention systems and the default mode network are important influences on ongoing thought at rest and highlights the value of integrating contemporary perspectives on conscious experience when understanding patterns of brain activity at rest.

Genetic diversity is a hallmark of RNA viruses and the basis for their evolutionary success. Taking advantage of the uniquely large genomic database of SARS-CoV-2, we examine the impact of mutations across the spectrum of viable amino acid sequences on the biophysical phenotypes of the highly expressed and multifunctional nucleocapsid protein. We find variation in the physicochemical parameters of its extended intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) sufficient to allow local plasticity, but also observe functional constraints that similarly occur in related coronaviruses. In biophysical experiments with several N-protein species carrying mutations associated with major variants, we find that point mutations in the IDRs can have nonlocal impact and modulate thermodynamic stability, secondary structure, protein oligomeric state, particle formation, and liquid-liquid phase separation. In the Omicron variant, distant mutations in different IDRs have compensatory effects in shifting a delicate balance of interactions controlling protein assembly properties, and include the creation of a new protein-protein interaction interface in the N-terminal IDR through the defining P13L mutation. A picture emerges where genetic diversity is accompanied by significant variation in biophysical characteristics of functional N-protein species, in particular in the IDRs.

This study aimed to evaluate the conditional survival (CS) of elderly patients with non-metastatic colon cancer who underwent colectomy and build conditional nomograms that can accommodate varying survival periods and estimate survival rates.Data from 9302 patients between 2004 and 2017 were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. CS was used to assess overall survival and colon-specific survival rates in patients who survived beyond a certain time period. Cox regression was used to select factors for nomogram development, and performance was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration plot, and decision curve analysis (DCA).The 5-year conditional overall survival rates initially increased slightly but then decreased over time. The rates at different time points after diagnosis (baseline and 1-5 years) were 62.5, 63.2, 62.8, 62.1, 61.6, and 59.8%. In contrast, 5-year conditional colon-specific survival rates consistently improved over the same period. These rates were 78.1, 80.9, 84.2, 86.9, 89.3, and 90.9%, respectively. Nomograms were developed for baseline measurements and for patients who survived 1, 3, and 5 years. The performance of these nomograms, assessed using AUC, calibration curves, and DCA, indicated good predictive capabilities.CS provides valuable information on the medium- and long-term survival probabilities of elderly patients with non-metastatic colon cancer who underwent colectomy. The developed conditional nomograms allowed for the estimation of survival probabilities across different timeframes, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of prognosis and collaborative decision making.
