Heritage Management. The Natural and Cultural Divide
Authors: Van Londen Heleen , Schlaman Marjo , Marciniak Arkadiusz
Published: September 2020

In 2005, David Lowenthal commented on the dissimilar approaches to natural and cultural heritage and how these differences impact the protection and management of these heritages. His analysis touches on the western European perceptions of nature and culture that go back to the Age of Enlightenment. In his article, the motivation for safeguarding heritage stands out, as nature conservationists emphasize the long-term economic or ecological benefits, while cultural heritage managers point towards cultural or aesthetic benefits (Lowenthal 2005: 87). Others have made similar statements, some eight years later, calling the divide between the domains a fundamental error (Renes 2013; Harrison 2013).
Towards new commons and sharing interests in the landscape, integrating natural and cultural heritage
Authors: Pedroli Bas
Published: September 2020

Heritage values represent a common good, contributing to societal identity. Landscape is a topical issue because it represents character and identity in both a spatial and a temporal dimension, uniting natural and cultural aspects of heritage at the same time. Especially in Europe, practically all natural heritage can be considered cultural heritage as well, since it is through human action that Europe’s biodiversity has evolved. Heritage perspectives on landscape and nature underline time depth, human agency and social value within landscape. Its cultural starting point does not marginalise nature, but places nature within cultural filters, thus highlighting the reciprocity of nature and culture in the creation of sustainable places. Today’s changing society is transitioning towards new forms of governance dominated by collaboration and continuously shifting networks or actors. Reported examples of cultural landscapes explore heritage management approaches that benefit from combining natural and cultural heritage perceptions. In this context, commonly accessible heritage can bring people together in joint efforts to use the inherited landscape as a shared and cherished resource rather than a conserved and regulated landscape.
Impact of the CAP on Archaeological Heritage. Cause & Remedy?
Authors: Cordemans Karl , Byrnes Emmet , Van Rooijen Cees
Published: September 2020

This paper seeks to summarise the origin and evolution of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in terms of the impact its policies and measures have had - and continue to have - on archaeological features and sites situated on arable land. The effects have been very obvious in some cases, less visible in others, but invariably significant. At the same time, the European policy on agriculture and rural development, and the Treaty provisions for the CAP can also present solutions and mitigation measures for the problems. Some examples will be presented within this paper, along with a forecast for the next programming period (2021-2027).

The authors are members of the EAA and EAC working group on Farming, Forestry and Rural Land Management. One of the aims of this working group is to improve the management of archaeological heritage in those areas.
Das Verbandsklagerecht der Umweltverbände in Deutschland: Effekte auf Rechtsanwendung, Umweltqualität und Machtverhältnisse
Authors: Töller Annette Elisabeth
Published: September 2020

In der deutschen Umweltpolitik hat sich die Machtkonstellation von Wirtschafts- und Umweltinteressen in den letzten 20-25 Jahren grundsätzlich zu Gunsten der Umweltverbände gewandelt. Vor diesem Hintergrund befasst sich der Beitrag mit dem 2006 eingeführten und seit 2013 verstärkt genutzten Klagerecht für anerkannte Umweltverbände. Er geht – insbesondere anhand der 47 Klagen der Deutschen Umwelthilfe (DUH) gegen Luftreinhaltepläne – den Fragen nach, ob und wie dieses Klagerecht genutzt wird, welche Effekte seine Nutzung auf die Anwendung des Umweltrechts und die Umweltqualität hat und ob sich Auswirkungen dieser Nutzung auf die Machtverhältnisse in der Umweltpolitik zeigen lassen.

To evaluate the proposed system, standardized databases where used and also proper videos are obtained trying to emulate real-world scenarios, where the quality and the distance are factors that have demonstrated challenges for the detection with computer vision and machine learning.
A Method for Image Forgery Detection Based on Error Level Analysis (ELA) Technique
Authors: Morra Emanuele , Revetria Roberto , Pecorino Danilo , Galli Gabriele , Mungo Andrea , Chiarvetto Roberto
Published: September 2020

In the last years, there has been growing a large increase in digital imaging techniques, and their applications became more and more pivotal in many critical scenarios. Conversely, hand in hand with this technological boost, imaging forgeries have increased more and more along with their level of precision. In this view, the use of digital tools, aiming to verify the integrity of a certain image, is essential. Indeed, insurance is a field that extensively uses images for filling claim requests and a robust forgery detection is essential. This paper proposes an approach which aims to introduce a full-automated system for identifying potential splicing frauds in images of car plates by overcoming traditional problems using artificial neural networks (ANN). For instance, classic fraud-detection algorithms are impossible to fully automatize whereas modern deep learning approaches require vast training datasets that are not available most of the time. The method developed in this paper uses Error Level Analysis (ELA) performed on car license plates as an input for a trained model which is able to classify license plates in either original or forged.
ATGW: A Machine Learning Framework for Automation Testing in Game Woody
Authors: Pham Thuy , Nguyen Nhu , Dang Tien , Nguyen Linh , Nguyen Binh T.
Published: September 2020

In this paper, we present a novel approach for building an automation testing platform for a mobile game, namely Woody, by using machine learning algorithms. There are three essential components in our proposed system, including a testing platform, a game state recognition algorithm, and game agents. We implement our testing platform by using the Airtest IDE to have the possibility of testing multiple devices (e.g., tablets, iOS phones, and Android phones). For each screenshot taken on a testing device, we use the Adaptive Gaussian Thresholding algorithm to detect the game board and use the Mean Square Error function to predict the extract status of three blocks given in each turn. After that, we use a reinforcement learning approach for training three different levels of game agents to imitate the playing behaviors of different users in the game. The experimental results show that both game state recognition algorithms and game agents work very well. The results of this paper can give an additional contribution to the research community on using machine learning in the mobile gaming industry.
Utilization of electrical charges in the pores of tofu waste for hydrogen production in water
Authors: Wardana I. N. G. , Satrio N. Willy
Published: September 2020

Tofu is main food in Indonesia and its waste generally pollutes the waters. This study aims to change the waste into energy by utilizing the electric charge in the pores of tofu waste to produce hydrogen in water. The tofu pore is negatively charged and the surface surrounding the pore has a positive charge. The positive and negative electric charges stretch water molecules that have a partial charge. With the addition of a 12V electrical energy during electrolysis, water breaks down into hydrogen. The test was conducted on pre-treated tofu waste suspension using oxalic acid. The hydrogen concentration was measured by a MQ-8 hydrogen sensor. The result shows that the addition of turmeric together with sodium bicarbonate to tofu waste in water, hydrogen production increased more than four times. This is due to the fact that magnetic field generated by delocalized electron in aromatic ring in turmeric energizes all electrons in the pores of tofu waste, in the sodium bicarbonate, and in water that boosts hydrogen production. At the same time the stronger partial charge in natrium bicarbonate shields the hydrogen proton from strong attraction of tofu pores. These two combined effect are very powerful for larger hydrogen production in water by tofu waste.

One of the leading risk factors for the development of DCS is hypertension, which is a global public health problem and causes the burden of heart disease, stroke and kidney failure, as well as contributes to premature death and disability, and therefore remains relevant in particular for the population of low-and middle-income countries and weak health systems. In Kazakhstan, in accordance with the State program for health development «Densaulyk» for 2016-2019 of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as part of the modernization and priority development of PHC, a gradual transition from dispensary to management of major chronic diseases at the outpatient level has been implemented through the introduction of a disease management program (DMP), which includes the fight against behavioral risk factors in patients covered by dynamic monitoring, achieving full interaction between patients and medical workers, developing self-management skills in patients. Work continued on the implementation of integrated disease management programs based on diagnostic and treatment protocols at all levels and monitoring with the Central coordinating role of PHC workers. When fully implemented in clinical practice, DMP allows optimizing the interaction between medical professionals and patients on joint planning of disease management strategies, patient training and further involvement in the treatment process, evaluating its results, solving psychological and economic problems, and self-management in order to further develop measures to improve the quality of life.

The effectiveness of the provided drug therapy remains an urgent problem and is directly proportional to the rational use of drugs. According to WHO, the most common causes of improper use of drugs are polypharmacy, improper use of antibacterial agents, unjustified use of the parenteral route of administration of drugs in cases where it is preferable to use dosage forms for oral administration, non-compliance with clinical guidelines in case of prescribing drugs and inappropriate self-medication. To ensure the rationality of pharmacotherapy, appropriate assessment methods are used. The world standard for assessing the rationality of drug use and the impact on irrational options for their use are indicators for assessing good drug use management practices, which are unified objective and simple parameters for evaluating drug use and the quality of medical care. As a solution to the problems of the irrational use of drugs, policies are proposed to improve the rational use of drugs by introducing an assessment and monitoring of the use of drugs, conducting an information campaign for the population and medical workers with the aim of creating the right behaviors regarding the use of drugs and introducing mandatory continuing education for the rational use of drugs of all medical workers. The existing legislative framework of Kazakhstan, as well as the programs, plans and projects adopted in recent years for the development of the health care system, have all the necessary conditions to support the implementation of the proposed policy options, however, the main barriers to the implementation of policy options may be a lack of human resources, unethical behavior of pharmaceutical companies lobbying their interests in the promotion of drugs, the lack of support from the authorized body in the field of healthcare, and the lack of understanding by healthcare managers of the goal of implementing an assessment of the rational use of drugs.
Can the “internal couple” be our faithful lifelong partner?
Authors: Ludlam Molly
Published: September 2020

For over fifty years the concept of the “internal couple”, as a composite internal object co-constructed in intimate relationships, has been fundamental to a psycho-analytic understanding of couple relationships and their contribution to family dynamics. Considerable societal change, however, necessitates review of how effectively and ethically the concept meets practitioners’ and couples’ current needs. Does the concept of an internal couple help psychotherapists to describe and consider all contemporary adult couples, whether same-sex or heterosexual, monogamous, or polyamorous? How does it accommodate online dating, relating via avatars, and use of pornography? Is it sufficiently inclusive of those experimenting in terms of sexual and gender identity, or in partnerships that challenge family arrangement norms? Can it usefully support thinking about families in which parents choose to parent alone, or are absent at their children’s conception thanks to surrogacy, adoption, and IVF? These and other questions prompt re-examination of this central concept’s nature and value.

Introduction: The objectives of the present study are to describe the institutional experience, technical aspects and outcome of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stenting in Tetralogy of Fallot type lesions as the initial palliation in a Bangladeshi centre.

Methods: This is a retrospective, single-center study of nonrandomized, consecutive 32 patients over a 12-year period. Selected patients underwent cardiac catheterization for implanting a stent into an obstructed RVOT to improve pulmonary blood flow.Statistical data analysis was performed using SPSS 20.

Results: Thirty cases had stenting in RVOT and two cases were postponed. Median age was 8.1 (3-40) months, median weight was 4.8 (3.3-11.4)kg, median procedure time was 65 (26-210) minutes and fluoroscopy time was 16 (10-75) minutes.Stents were implanted through 5F Judkins coronary guide catheter and 5F or 6F delivery sheath of ADOII device. Median stent diameter was 6 (4-7) mm. Stent length varies from 12-22 mm with median 14 mm. Oxygen saturation of the patients increased from median 60 (30 - 75)% to 91 (85-98)%. In one patient stent was embolized to aorta and was fixed to descending aorta. Two cases were postponed for short infundibular length. One patient died from non cardiac cause two months after palliation. No procedure related mortality recorded.

Conclusion: Right ventricular outflow tract stenting is a good option of palliation for small babies with reduced pulmonary blood flow. In our setting we did most of the palliation to offer better quality of life who could not afford surgery or who was detected late.

Suspension-feeding bivalve molluscs perform important ecological roles by coupling pelagic and benthic systems during their feeding activities. Particle capture, and thus feeding, is dependent on particle encounter and retention on the gill filaments, with several factors influencing this process. Over the past 30 yr, different types of synthetic microspheres have been used to examine aspects of particle capture and ingestion by bivalves. Critics of this work have posited that manufactured particles may contain surfactants, chemicals commonly used in manufacturing to reduce surface tension, that could produce spurious capture and ingestion rates. The goal of this work was to experimentally assess whether the presence of different types of surfactants on manufactured polystyrene particles can result in instantaneous effects on particle capture by the blue mussel Mytilus edulis. The effects of 3 different types of common surfactants (sodium dodecyl sulfate, benzalkonium chloride, Triton-X) on clearance rates (CR) and capture efficiencies (CE) were tested. Results indicated that none of the surfactant treatments had an effect on CR. Treatment with one of the surfactants (Triton-X) significantly lowered CE for 3 µm sized spheres compared to the control spheres (Milli-Q treated). None of the other tested surfactants significantly affected CE when compared to the control treatment. These data add to an understanding of particle handling by bivalves, and suggest that concentrations of surfactants found on commercially available microspheres used for experiments or found in the environment have little immediate effect on feeding processes.

Calorie restriction (CR) has been shown to decrease reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and retard aging in a variety of species. It has been proposed that alterations in membrane saturation are central to these actions of CR. As a step towards testing this theory, mice were assigned to 4 dietary groups (control and 3 CR groups) and fed AIN-93G diets at 95 % (control) or 60 % (CR) of ad libitum for 8 months. To manipulate membrane composition, the primary dietary fats for the CR groups were soybean oil (also used in the control diet), fish oil or lard. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial lipid composition, proton leak, and H2O2 production were measured. Phospholipid fatty acid composition in CR mice was altered in a manner that reflected the n-3 and n-6 fatty acid profiles of their respective dietary lipid sources. Dietary lipid composition did not alter proton leak kinetics between the CR groups. However, the capacity of mitochondrial complex III to produce ROS was decreased in the CR lard compared to the other CR groups. The results of this study indicate that dietary lipid composition can influence ROS production in muscle mitochondria of CR mice. It remains to be determined if lard or other dietary oils can maximize the CR-induced decreases in ROS production.

Accumulation of adipose tissue in lower body lowers risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. The molecular basis of this protective effect of gluteofemoral depot is not clear. The aim of this study was to compare the profile of expression of inflammation-related genes in subcutaneous gluteal (sGAT) and abdominal (sAAT) adipose tissue at baseline and in response to multiphase weight-reducing dietary intervention (DI). 14 premenopausal healthy obese women underwent a 6 months’ DI consisting of 1 month very-low-calorie-diet (VLCD), subsequent 2 months’ low-calorie-diet and 3 months’ weight maintenance diet (WM). Paired samples of sGAT and sAAT were obtained before and at the end of VLCD and WM periods. mRNA expression of 17 genes (macrophage markers, cytokines) was measured using RT-qPCR on chip-platform. At baseline, there were no differences in gene expression of macrophage markers and cytokines between sGAT and sAAT. The dynamic changes induced by DI were similar in both depots for all genes except for three cytokines (IL6, IL10, CCL2) that differed in their response during weight maintenance phase. The results show that, in obese women, there are no major differences between sGAT and sAAT in expression of inflammation-related genes at baseline conditions and in response to the weight-reducing DI.

The aim of our study was to develop a model producing obese mice in early adulthood (4-6 weeks) based on their over-nutrition during fetal and early postnatal development. The fertilized dams of the parental generation were fed the standard diet supplemented with high-energy nutritional product Ensure Plus during gestation and lactation. Delivered weanlings were then fed with standard or supplemented diet and assessed for body fat deposits using EchoMRI at the time of early and late adulthood. Maternal over-feeding during the period before weaning had the most significant effect on obesity development in the filial generation. In weanlings, significantly higher body fat deposits and average body weight were recorded. Later, further significant increase in percentage of body fat in both male and female mice was observed. Withdrawal of the Ensure Plus supplement caused a decrease in the percentage of body fat in part of the filial generation. In offspring fed the standard diet, higher fat deposits persisted till the time of late adulthood. We conclude that this diet-induced obesity model might be used in exploration of the effects of elevated body fat on physiological functions of various organ systems during juvenile and early adulthood periods of life of a human being.

We have previously shown that chronic renal failure in rats induces changes in motor activity and behavior. Similar work on the possible effects of acute renal failure (ARF) induced by cisplatin (CP) is lacking. This is the subject matter of the current work. CP was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) at a single dose of 20 mg/kg to induce a state of ARF, and three days later, its effects on motor activity, thermal and chemical nociceptive tests, neuromuscular coordination, pentobarbitone-sleeping time, exploration activity and two depression models were investigated. The platinum concentration in the kidneys and brains of mice was also measured. The occurrence of CP-induced ARF was ascertained by standard physiological, biochemical and histo-pathological methods. CP induced all the classical biochemical, physiological and histopathological signs of ARF. The average renal platinum concentration of CP-treated mice was 5.16 ppm, but there was no measurable concentration of platinum in the whole brains. CP treatment significantly decreased motor and exploration activities, and increased immobility time in depression models, suggesting a possible depression-like state. There was also a significant decrease in neuromuscular coordination in CP-treated mice. CP, given at a nephrotoxic dose, induced several adverse motor and behavioral alterations in mice. Further behavioral tests and molecular and biochemical investigations in the brains of mice with CP-induced ARF are warranted.
