Authors: Shi Keqin
Published: July 2023

In order to study the influence of environmental protection and economic development level under artificial intelligence technology, and to help achieve the goal of carbon peak in China, this paper studies the coupling degree of socio-economic and ecological environment system, establishes the evaluation index system of coupling between socio-economic system and ecological environment system, calculates the weight of each evaluation index and comprehensive evaluation index by using entropy value assignment method, construct the coupling degree of two systems model, and empirically analyze the coupling degree and coupling coordination socio-economic and eco-environmental systems. In addition, the comprehensive evaluation index of socio-economic and ecological environmental protection systems based on artificial intelligence technology was analyzed. The results show that AI technology benefits environmental protection, the urban economy and environmental protection as a whole are currently in a mutually beneficial symbiosis, and the two systems of ecological environment and high-quality economic development promote each other and develop together. The evaluation indexes of economic scale and economic capacity and social development as a whole are steadily increasing, from 0.00, 0.00, and 0.07 in 2010 to 0.28, 0.15, and 0.53 in 2019, respectively, where the evaluation indexes of economic scale and economic capacity are steadily increasing from 2010 to 2019 due to the rapid development of the tertiary industry, and the evaluation indexes of social development. The evaluation index of the economic scale, economic capacity, and social development drove the rapid development of the economy in 2012-2013, and the rapid development of the economy also led to the rapid development of society. After 2015, the coupling between the two systems has become more and more perfect.

Bedaquiline (BDQ) is an important drug for treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), a worldwide disease that causes more than 1.6 million deaths yearly. The current synthetic strategy adopted by the manufacturers to assemble this molecule relies on a nucleophilic addition reaction of two complex starting materials, but suffers from low conversion and no stereoselectivity, which subsequently increases the cost of manufacturing BDQ. M4ALL has developed a new approach to this process that not only allows high conversion of starting materials, but also results in good diastereo- and enantioselectivity towards the desired BDQ stereoisomer. A variety of chiral lithium amides derived from amino acids were studied, and it was found that lithium (R)-2-(methoxymethyl)pyrrolidide, obtained from D-proline, results in high assay yield of the syn-diastereomer pair (82 %) and with considerable stereocontrol (d.r. = 13.6:1, e.r. = 3.6:1, 56 % ee) providing bedaquiline in up to 64 % assay yield before purification steps towards the final API. This represents a considerable improvement in the BDQ yield compared to previously reported conditions and could be critical to further lowering the cost of this life-saving drug.

AMEAÇAS À DEMOCRACIA BRASILEIRA: POLITIZAÇÃO DAS FORÇAS ARMADAS E OS RISCOS PARA O ESTADO DEMOCRÁTICO
Authors: Santos Alexander Fabiano Ribeiro
Published: July 2023

o resultado das últimas eleições para Presidente da República no Brasil trouxe novamente à tona o tema da politização das Forças Armadas no cenário político. Considerando a cultura política do país, que possui um histórico de forte politização das Forças Armadas associado a atos que prejudicaram a manutenção e consolidação da democracia, o ressurgimento da ideia de intervenção militar no processo eleitoral chama a atenção para os riscos que representa para o estado democrático. Com a derrota nas urnas do Capitão da reserva do Exército Brasileiro, que foi apontado como aquele que aumentou expressivamente o número de militares no exercício de funções públicas civis, as constantes acusações contra o sistema eleitoral brasileiro podem ter provocado o movimento de grupos da sociedade civil, que estabeleceram acampamentos em frente aos quartéis e passaram a pedir intervenção militar no resultado das urnas. A subsequente escalada de eventos culminou na prisão de centenas de pessoas e na demissão do Chefe do Exército Brasileiro. Diante desses acontecimentos, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar quais são os riscos da politização das Forças Armadas para a democracia e quais medidas podem ser adotadas para assegurar a despolitização das Forças Armadas, buscando garantir o status e o respeito que seu profissionalismo merece e, assim, garantir a manutenção e consolidação da democracia no país.
A (IM)POSSIBILIDADE DA CUMULAÇÃO DE RITOS NA EXECUÇÃO DE ALIMENTOS

Published: July 2023

A obrigação alimentar é um direito garantido ao menor, proporcionando a ele uma vida digna com o suficiente para garantir suas necessidades básicas e o mínimo de conforto possível, a fixação dessa obrigação é dada ao menor alimentando que não possa prover, sozinho, o seu próprio sustento. Para isso, é necessário comprovação de vínculo parentesco com o menor, a necessidade do reclamante em receber essa verba alimentar, a possibilidade da pessoa reclamada em fornecer essa verba e a proporcionalidade para que nenhuma das partes saia prejudicadas. Caso o devedor falhe com a prestação alimentícia, ao atingir 03 (três) meses de inadimplência é possível que o credor requeira a coação pessoal (prisão) deste, mas, caso haja mais parcelas vencidas, o credor deverá ingressar com nova ação e requerer a penhora de ativos financeiros em nome do executado em autos apartados da ação originária. A grande vantagem da cumulação de ritos na execução de alimentos é dada pela urgência da verba alimentar, pois ela está diretamente ligada à sobrevivência do credor. Ademais, a sua admissão é baseada no princípio da economia, efetividade e celeridade processual, no qual propõe que o processo deve ser resumido ao menor número de atos. Quanto às correntes divergentes que alegam tumulto processual, ainda não se pode presumir esse dano, porém, é inegável o dano ao menor.

Open-office noise and information processing
Authors: Mayiwar Lewend , Hærem Thorvald
Published: July 2023

Purpose: We draw on arousal-based models to develop and test a model of open-office noise and information processing. Specifically, we examined whether open-office noise changes how people process information and whether such a change has consequences for task performance.Design/Methodology/Approach: In a laboratory experiment, we randomly assigned participants (107 students at a business school) to either a silent condition or a condition that exposed them to open-office noise (irrelevant speech) while completing a task that requires cognitive flexibility. We measured participants’ physiological arousal and the extent to which they processed information intuitively and analytically during the task.Findings: Open-office noise increased urgent processing and decreased analytical processing, which led to a respective decrease and increase in task performance. In line with a neuroscientific account of cognitive processing, an increase in arousal (subjective and physiological) drove the detrimental effect of open-office noise on task performance.Practical Implications: Understanding the information-processing consequences of open-office noise can help managers make more informed decisions about workplace environments that facilitate performance.Originality: Our study is one of the first to examine the indirect effects of open-office noise on task performance through intuitive and analytical processing, while simultaneously testing and providing support for the accompanying physiological mechanism.
The Role of Art Knowledge Training on Aesthetic Judgements and Executive Functions
Authors: Bara Ionela , Cross Emily S. , Ramsey Richard
Published: July 2023

The study of how we develop art knowledge can provide valuable insight into the structure of underlying cognitive systems that support art expertise and knowledge transfer to new contexts. An important question that is left largely unanswered is the extent to which art knowledge training impacts subsequent judgements of artworks and executive functions. Across three pre-registered experiments (N > 630 in total), which used a training intervention paradigm and multi-level Bayesian modelling approaches, we explore the ways in which art knowledge training impacts subsequent judgements of artworks and executive functions. Experiments 1 and 2 revealed an effect of art knowledge training on a range of aesthetic judgements for trained but not untrained artworks. These effects of training generalised to unseen artworks produced by the same artist (Exp. 1) or another artist with a similar style (Exp. 2), but not to different styles of visual art. Experiment 2 also showed that with larger training “doses” (>16 minutes of training), the effects of art training are larger, and the generalisation effects are stronger. Experiment 3 showed invariance of the attentional network to art training vs. non-art training, suggesting similar sensitivity of executive functions of attention to different kinds of training. These findings highlight that art knowledge shapes judgements of artworks and that art and non-art knowledge development have a similar impact on executive functions. This work shines new light on the cognitive systems that support learning and generalisation of learning to new contexts. Likewise, from an applied perspective, our research emphasises that learning and generalisation effects can occur rapidly with a freely available and relatively short (~16 minutes) training video.
Methods to Make Sense of Resilience: Lessons From Participant Coded Micronarratives
Authors: Mapitsa Caitlin Blaser
Published: July 2023

The Okavango and Limpopo river basins are challenged by the effects of climate change, where communities that are traditionally dependent on natural resources for their livelihoods must adapt to conditions less predictable. Divergent interests among various stakeholders contribute to tensions between livelihoods and conservation, and understanding the perspectives of communities is critical for planning. However, traditional methodological tools are not adequate to reflect the diverse perspectives of respondents at scale. A baseline study of community resilience approaches to adapt to climate change across both river basin areas used a participant-coded micro-narrative approach to establish how people understand resilience across diverse areas. This methodological approach holds potential as a framework for understanding community experiences, but even methodologies designed for participation have limits in both processes and results. This article explores both and presents potential uses for participant-coded narratives in future evaluation processes.

Disappearance of a moyamoya-related distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm after target bypass revascularization: illustrative case
Authors: Kusakabe Taro , Oda Kazunori , Kobayashi Hiromasa , Kawano Dai , Yoshinaga Shintaro , Fukumoto Hironori , Takemoto Koichiro , Morishita Takashi , Abe Hiroshi
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Aneurysm formation is a complication of moyamoya disease (MMD). Distal anterior cerebral artery (ACA) aneurysms account for approximately 1% of MMD-related aneurysms. We report a case of target bypass for adult patients with MMD who presented with intracranial hemorrhage due to rupture of a distal ACA aneurysm, whose disappearance was confirmed postoperatively.

OBSERVATIONS

A 45-year-old woman presented with sudden-onset headache and loss of consciousness. Head computed tomography showed hemorrhage in the genu of the corpus callosum with intraventricular extension. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed Suzuki stage III MMD and a left A3 segment aneurysm. Superficial temporal artery (STA)–middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass and STA-ACA target bypass were performed to reduce hemodynamic stress on the left ACA. DSA 6 months after surgery showed patency of both bypasses and disappearance of the aneurysm. At the 20-month follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and neurologically intact.

LESSONS

Bypass revascularization may be an effective treatment to reduce hemodynamic stress and eliminate MMD-related aneurysms.

Türkiye’de kentsel dönüşüm projeleri nedeniyle oluşan agrega ihtiyacı, özellikle büyük şehirlerdeki sınırlı sayıdaki ocak sahalarında alan ve kaynak kullanımının optimizasyonunu gerektirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, İstanbul'da bir taş ocağından kırmataş üretimi sonrası açığa çıkan artık malzemenin yol kesimlerinde kullanılabilirliği değerlendirilmiştir. Kaba dane oranı KDO %75-51 arasında olan malzeme siltli kum (SM) sınıfındadır. Standart enerji SE (600 kN-m/m3) ve modifiye edilmiş ME enerjisinde (2700 kN-m/m3) belirlenen optimum su içeriği (wopt) değerleri, plastik olmayan artık numunelerindeki sınırlı kil fraksiyonu nedeniyle sırasıyla %11 ve %8 ile sınırlı kaldığı gözlenmiştir. Buna göre KDO ile doğru orantılı olarak artan ıslatılmış CBR değerleri SE'de %9-16, ME'de %45-67 arasında değişmektedir. D10 efektif çapı ile doğru orantılı olarak artan geçirgenlik değerleri SE’de 2,2 x 10-6 - 5,0 x 10-6 m/s ve ME'de 1,2 x 10-6 - 3,7 x 10-6 m/s'dir. Direk kesme kutusu testlerinde kohezyon (c) değerleri ihmal edilebilir düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiş ve iç sürtünme açısı (ϕ) sıkıştırma enerjisiyle orantılı olarak artmıştır. KDO ile doğru orantılı olarak artan ϕ değeri SE'de 38-40°, ME'de 43-47° arasında değişmektedir. Sonuç olarak, incelenen ocak artığının ince dane oranının sınırlandırılmasının yol dolgu ve temel altı uygulamalarında kullanılabilirliğini sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir.
Design of a wheeled-type In-Pipe Inspection Robot to overcome motion singularity in curved pipes

Published: July 2023

This paper discusses the development and design of two wheeled-type In-Pipe Inspection Robots (IPIRs), Kuzhali I and Kuzhali II, which were created to address the limitations of traditional human inspection methods and earlier robot designs. Specifically, the robots aim to overcome the motion singularity experienced by IPIRs when navigating through curved pipes. Kuzhali I was developed with wheels mounted at an asymmetric angle, which enables the wheels to maintain contact with the pipe’s surface, preventing motion singularity. However, Kuzhali I had limitations due to its prismatic mechanism, and thus Kuzhali II was developed with a telescopic mechanism to allow it to pass through vertical pipes with obstacles. Motion analysis was conducted on both robots to demonstrate how they overcome motion singularity and navigate through straight and curved pipelines. Simulation results showed that the forces acting on the robots’ wheels fell within 5 N to 12 N, demonstrating stability while navigating pipeline junctions. Experimental tests were conducted on Kuzhali II, and the results were compared to simulation results, showing an error of less than 5%. The results of the experiments indicate that Kuzhali II is safe to use for pipeline inspection, can navigate through vertical pipelines with ease and can overcome motion singularity in curved pipes. These robots offer a faster, more accurate, and safer alternative to human inspection, which can reduce the risk of pipeline failures and associated environmental and safety hazards.
Error estimates for Gaussian beams at a fold caustic
Authors: Lafitte Olivier , Runborg Olof
Published: July 2023

In this work we show an error estimate for a first order Gaussian beam at a fold caustic, approximating time-harmonic waves governed by the Helmholtz equation. For the caustic that we study the exact solution can be constructed using Airy functions and there are explicit formulae for the Gaussian beam parameters. Via precise comparisons we show that the pointwise error on the caustic is of the order [Formula: see text] where k is the wave number in Helmholtz.

BACKGROUND: Sleep bruxism has been associated with temporomandibular dysfunction, pain, fatigue, and poor sleep quality. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the gender and age distribution of sleep and oral habits of children with sleep bruxism and to examine the effect of a sleep hygiene and physiotherapy program. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 82 children aged 6–13 years with sleep bruxism were initially screened between March 2020 and June 2021, from which 37 of them voluntarily attended an 8-week sleep hygiene and physiotherapy program. Evaluations were made using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), and the Oral Habits Questionnaire (OHQ) at the beginning and at the end of the 8-week program. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were determined between the 6–9 years and 10–13-year age groups in respect of the sleep habits subcategories of resistance to bedtime (p= 0.001), sleep anxiety (p= 0.043), parasomnia (p= 0.040), and sleep respiratory disorder (p= 0.041). Following the 8-week treatment program, a significant reduction was obtained in the VAS value (p< 0.05), CSHQ subcategories of resistance to bedtime (p= 0.001), sleep duration (p= 0.008), parasomnia (p= 0.000), and in the OHQ score (p= 0.000). CONCLUSION: There was no relationship between sleep bruxism and gender, but a relationship was found with age. The rate of bruxism was seen to decrease with an increase in age. It was determined that oral, sleep habits, and bruxism are closely related, and the rates at which bruxism is seen are affected by the oral habits. Sleep hygiene and physiotherapy have been effective in children with sleep bruxism.

This study explored university students’ information-seeking behaviours related to nutrition. The focus was on cognitive authority, specifically, the trust given to information sources. Research questions encompassed identifying university students’ nutrition needs, information sources usage, and the levels of trust in those sources. A questionnaire was completed by 138 students, and six students were interviewed. Overall, the Internet is the most used information source on nutrition, followed by family and friends. Trust in the information from the Internet in general and social media is relatively low. However, specific authors on social media are perceived as trustworthy. Interviews revealed that students evaluate specific online sources based on author expertise, systematically organised information, and other cues. Expert sources of information are highly trusted but, on average, not often used. Only students with health problems mostly rely on experts and professional literature. Students engaged in training and weight maintenance primarily follow social media, notably specific authors on YouTube and Instagram. Trust in information sources is correlated to their usage, especially for Instagram and other social media. These insights into university students’ information-seeking behaviours can inform experts involved in educating students on making informed choices based on information gained from trustworthy sources.

Authors: Vaigandla Karthik Kumar , Benita J.
Published: July 2023

Filter Bank Multicarrier(FBMC)is considered as one of the most standardized waveform for fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system application FBMC endures lot of nonlinear effects which occurs because of high Peak Average Power Ratio (PAPR). High value of PAPR due to the large dynamic range of multicarrier signal is one of the most significant issues in FBMC multicarrier based modulation technique. This paper presents one investigated PAPR reduction technique named as Selected Mapping (SLM) to minimize high PAPR by utilizing the complex signal divide into real and imaginary parts and then select minimum PAPR signal based on Modified Forest Optimization Algorithm (MFOA)to achieve good PAPR which can maintain the FBMC based system performance with a required Bit Error Rate (BER). The associated method was produced with the aim of optimize the phase factors so that the phase rotation operation is accomplished to minimize PAPR by fixing the MFOA into the conventional SLM. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed technique gives better performance in terms of BER and PAPR compared to other SLM based optimization techniques.

Authors: Zheng Yulan
Published: July 2023

In marketing, customer segmentation is a very critical element. This paper focuses on clustering algorithms. First, the commonly used K-means algorithm was introduced, and then, it was optimized using the improved Lion Swarm Optimization (ILSO) algorithm and the Calinski-Harabasz (CH) index. The results of the experiment for the UCI dataset showed that the CH indicator obtained an accurate number of clusters, and the clustering accuracy of the ILSO-K-means algorithm was higher, both above 90%. Then, in customer segmentation, the customers of an enterprise were divided into four groups using the ILSO-K-means algorithm, and different marketing suggestions were given. The experimental analysis proves the usability of the ILSO-K-means algorithm in customer segmentation, which can be further applied in practice.

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: The cockpit of an aircraft is the main place where the pilot controls the aircraft on a mission. An excellent cockpit environment not only ensures the pilot’s basic survival needs but also improves the comfort level and alleviates fatigue when performing missions. OBJECTIVE: On the basis of domestic and international airworthiness standards, a top-down refinement method is deployed to determine the initial goal, and the environmental criteria are fully discussed and balanced in a dynamic process to build a comprehensive evaluation system for environmental factors in the aircraft cockpit. METHODS: Based on the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation theory, an evaluation model for environmental factors is constructed by combining analytic hierarchical analysis (AHP) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Then the feasibility of the evaluation model is verified by an illustrative example. RESULTS: The results suggest that the light environment gains the highest score among the 4 environmental criteria followed by the thermal environment, while both sound environment and microenvironment have relatively low scores. CONCLUSION: As for the 27 environmental sub-criteria, temperature, illumination, lighting clarity, light-color coordination, noise duration and pressure score the highest. The evaluation findings can provide important environmental control criteria for the subsequent environmental control system in the cockpit of the aircraft.

Authors: Malik Sameetah Fatima , Pervaiz Azhar
Published: July 2023

Motivation and anxiety play a significant role in the teaching and learning process, either  it is second language learning or Task Based Language Teaching (TBLT). The current research aimed to investigate the motivation and anxiety faced by Pakistani English as Second Language (ESL) learners while learning English language. A quantitative research design was used to conduct this research. Moreover, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was subsequently applied to record the relationship between task motivation and second language (L2) motivation, as well as to configure the association between task anxiety and foreign language anxiety. From two public sector colleges of Sargodha, eighty ESL learners participated in the experiment. They were shown a cartoon video and then they were asked to narrate the video in English. Furthermore, they were inquired about their task anxiety and task motivation. The results showed that task motivation has three sides, that is, positive attitude towards the task, negative attitude towards the task, and task diagnostic tool. Task anxiety construct also shows three sides-setting namely anxiety, language related anxiety, and anxiety reliefs. The results also revealed that TBLT is greatly affected by motivation and anxiety. The current study would help the teachers to gain knowledge about the motivational strategies used by their students. Lastly, the research would be helpful for ESL teachers to motivate their students and understand their anxieties. This study was limited to the video narration task. Hence, it is recommended to extend future studies by including more than one task while using a large sample size.

Selection of Seismic Acceleration for Non-linear Analysis Of Rc Buildings in Bangladesh
Authors: Haque M F
Published: July 2023

Seismic acceleration selection is a vital issue of non-linear time history analysis for reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The propagation characteristic of selected seismic acceleration through soil medium depends on the material properties of the soil and reflected waves from the structure are absorbed by the adjacent soil medium. Stiffnesses of structural members are degraded by exciting and internal waves because of storing the hysteretic strain energy inside structural members. However, this study proposes a finite element model for the selection of seismic acceleration considering specific site classes in Bangladesh based on the soil stratum because seismic excitation varies with the site class. In addition, the structural response depends on the selected acceleration, and non-linear time history analysis represents the more reliable inelastic response of the structure due to this acceleration. Variation of seismic storey drift within allowable limit indicates appropriate selection of the seismic acceleration by the non-linear response history analysis. Also, lower rates of output acceleration intensities for upper stories may inform the majority of reflected waves absorbed by the soil medium. For this reason, proper selection of seismic acceleration may enhance the accurate non-linear response of RC buildings in Bangladesh.
