Cool Books as a Guide to Food and Nutrition during World War II
Authors: Попова О.Д.
Published: March 2023

В статье анализируются кулинарные книги периода Великой Отечественной войны. Автор рассматривает брошюры, изданные в блокадном Ленинграде, Москве, сибирских городах. Немаловажное участие в их создании принимали ученые-ботаники, специалисты Всесоюзного научно-исследовательского института, работники общепита. Привлеченные в статье мемуары современников показывают особенности быта, специфику пищевых практик населения в годы войны и потребность в таких специальных изданиях. Проведенный анализ позволяет сделать вывод о том, что с помощью новых кулинарных рецептов решались наиболее насущные проблемы: борьба с авитаминозом, использование в пище дикорастущих растений, белковых дрожжей, налаживание в тылу сбора полезных растений для нужд фронта. Особенно большое значение такие издания имели в блокадном Ленинграде. В тылу же они нацеливали население на более привычную деятельность: сбор грибов, ягод, плодов деревьев. В статье показано, что кулинарные книги сыграли значимую роль в системе управления обществом. Брошюры предназначались в первую очередь не для домашнего использования, а помогали в организации питания в столовых на предприятиях, в армии. Издания позднего периода Великой Отечественной войны свидетельствуют о стремлении наладить уже более обыденные практики — потребление в пищу сладостей из растительного сырья и мороженого.

The article analyzes cook books of World War II. The author focuses on cook books published in Leningrad under siege, in Moscow, in Siberian cities. Cook books were a result of collaborative work of botanists, specialists of the All-Russian Research Institute and cooks. The analyzed memoirs show the peculiarities of everyday life, the peculiarities of food intake in wartime, the importance of cook books promoting wise eating in wartime. The analysis of the materials enables the author to conclude that new recipes solved many urgent problems, such as vitamin deficiency, wild plant consumption, plant gathering and foraging for the need of the front. Such cook books were especially important in Leningrad under siege. In rear regions, cook books instructed people to gather mushrooms, berries, fruit. The article shows that cook books played an important role in public management. Cook books, which were meant for home use, were also used in canteens, in the army. Cooks books published in the late-war period show that people tried to reintroduce pre-war culinary practices, such as vegan sweets and ice-cream.

В статье представлены результаты исследований среднего и позднего голоцена Красноярской лесостепи в долине реки Кача на основе изучения разреза торфяных отложений Сухая-1 с помощью спорово-пыльцевого, ботанического анализов и радиоуглеродного датирования. Торфяник низинного типа расположен в междуречье рек Кача и Сухая, в непосредственной близости от деревни Крутая. Комплексное изучение торфяных отложений болотного массива Сухая позволило реконструировать палеоклиматические и палеоландшафтные условия в голоцене в долине реки Кача. На основе данных спорово-пыльцевого анализа и радиоуглеродного датирования установлено, что процесс торфонакопления на этой территории начался с оптимума голоцена. Базальные горизонты суглинка, содержащего растительные остатки, сформировались более 6 тыс. л. н. Основными типами ландшафтов на протяжении всего времени накопления осадков были лесные и лесостепные, как и ландшафты возвышенностей, окружающих данную территорию.

The article explores the dynamics of the mid- and late Holocene in the Krasnoyarsk forest steppe in the valley of the Kacha river. It investigates the "Sukhaya-1" peat deposits and employs such methods as spore-pollen analysis, botanical analysis, and radiocarbon dating. A low-lying peat bog is located in the interfluves of the Kacha and Sukhaya rivers, in the immediate vicinity of the village of Krutaya. A comprehensive study of peat deposits of the Sukhaya swamp massif made it possible to reconstruct paleoclimatic and paleolandscape conditions in the Holocene in the valley of the Kacha river. Based on the data of spore-pollen analysis and radiocarbon dating, it was established that the process of peat accumulation in this area had began in the Holocene. The basal horizons of loam containing plant remains formed more than 6,000 years ago. The main types of landscapes during the entire period of sediment accumulation were forest and forest steppe, as well as uplands surrounding this territory.

Neonatal herpes simplex virus infections are rare, normally acquired through vertical transmission in the peripartum period, usually manifesting before 14 days of life and being identified on the basis of history, clinical and laboratory evaluation. We present the case of a small for gestational age male infant born at 38 weeks gestational age with neonatal herpes simplex virus infection. The diagnosis was delayed because the attention was focused on an unidentified bacterial infection. In cases where a clinical picture suggestive of infection is described, with laboratory tests that support the diagnosis of infection, but with cultures that do not highlight bacterial or mycological agents, we must not forget about viral agents, specifically among those newborns from intrauterine growth restricted pregnancies. Neonatal HSV infections can be present even in the absence of herpetic vesicles in the newborn and even if the mother is asymptomatic.

Authors: ÇAĞIRAN İbrahim Hakkı , YILMAZ Dursun Alper , ATAY Mehmet Emin , DEGE Gökhan
Published: March 2023

Dehydration emerges due to lack of fluid balance in the body. In addition, minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are lost because of dehydration. Athletes lose fluids and electrolytes through sweating during exercise, and replacing the lost fluid and electrolytes is crucial for the continuity of their sports performance. Sports drinks can be consumed by athletes to replace fluid and electrolytes lost during exercise and to improve performance. During this period, consumption of sports drinks minimizes dehydration by restoring the lost mineral and fluid balance. However, the composition of these products, their active ingredients, their effects on sports performance, and their risk factors are matters of debate. This study was carried out in order to compare sports drinks with the local mineral water that comes out naturally in the province of Agri. The mineral determinations of the local mineral water were made using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectroscopy (ICP- MS) instruments. As a result of the analyses, the average sodium (Na) value in the local mineral water was 26.6 ppm, and the magnesium (Mg) average was 7.782 ppm. No potassium (K) mineral was detected in Agri local mineral water. Calcium (Ca) mineral average was found to be 65.04 ppm, iron (Fe) mineral average 0.0068 ppm, and zinc (Zn) mineral average 0.02457 ppm. Agri natural mineral water contains minerals in similar amounts to sports drinks. Considering these values, it can be a natural alternative to sports drinks if potassium mineral and glucose is added to its content, so it can be an alternative to sports drinks.

New Identification of the cause of Local Extinction in Korea through International Comparative Research
Authors:   National Association of Korean Local Government Studies, Park Chan-Yong
Published: March 2023

This study identified the reason why local extinction situations rarely occur in Western developed countries, but occur severely in Korea. To this end, the regional problems of Western developed countries and Japan were compared with those of Korea. Regional disparities occurred in most countries, but no western developed countries were found in a serious situation to the extent of local extinction. To find the reason, we compared the differences between Western developed countries and Korea. As a result, it was confirmed that the factor that hinders regional development the most is the outflow of local talented people, and that the outflow of local talent does not occur in Western developed countries as much as in Korea. In the case of Korea, we could see that the outflow of local talent intensified as the discrimination against local universities was combined with the ranking of universities, but discrimination against local universities was not found in Western developed countries. It is concluded that a legal device that prohibits discrimination against local universities can prevent the outflow of local talent, which can alleviate local extinction.

Time-dependent energy spectra of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) carry crucial information regarding their origin and propagation throughout the interstellar environment. When observed at the Earth, after traversing the interplanetary medium, such spectra are heavily affected by the solar wind and the embedded solar magnetic field permeating the inner sectors of the heliosphere. The activity of the Sun changes significantly over an 11 yr solar cycle—and so does the effect on cosmic particles; this translates into a phenomenon called solar modulation. Moreover, GCR spectra during different epochs of solar activity provide invaluable information for a complete understanding of the plethora of mechanisms taking place in various layers of the Sun’s atmosphere and how they evolve over time. The High-Energy Particle Detector (HEPD-01) has been continuously collecting data since 2018 August, during the quiet phase between solar cycles 24 and 25; the activity of the Sun is slowly but steadily rising and is expected to peak around 2025/2026. In this paper, we present the first spectra for ∼50–250 MeV galactic protons measured by the HEPD-01 instrument—placed on board the CSES-01 satellite—from 2018 August to 2022 March over a one-Carrington-rotation time basis. Such data are compared to the ones from other spaceborne experiments, present (e.g., EPHIN, Parker Solar Probe) and past (PAMELA), and to a state-of-the-art three-dimensional model describing the GCRs propagation through the heliosphere.
Elucidating the Formation of Ethynylbutatrienylidene (HCCCHCCC; X1A′) in the Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC-1) via the Gas-phase Reaction of Tricarbon (C3) with the Propargyl Radical (C3H3)
Authors: Mebel Alexander M. , Agúndez Marcelino , Cernicharo José , Kaiser Ralf I.
Published: March 2023

The recent astronomical detection of ethynylbutatrienylidene (HCCCHCCC)—a high-energy isomer of triacetylene (HCCCCCCH) and hexapentaenylidene (H2CCCCCC)—in TMC-1 puzzled the laboratory astrophysics community since proposed reaction pathways could not synthesize the ethynylbutatrienylidene (HCCCHCCC) under cold molecular cloud conditions. Exploiting a retrosynthesis coupled with electronic structure calculations and astrochemical modeling, we reveal that observed fractional abundance of ethynylbutatrienylidene (HCCCHCCC) of 1.3 ± 0.2 × 10−11 can be quantitatively replicated though the barrierless and exoergic reaction of tricarbon (C3) with the resonantly stabilized propargyl radical (C3H3) after a few 105 yr—typical ages of cold molecular clouds. Our study provides persuasive evidence that previously assumed “dead” reactants such as tricarbon (C3) and the propargyl radical (C3H3) provide fundamental molecular building blocks in molecular mass growth processes leading to exotic, high-energy isomers of hydrocarbons: ethynylbutatrienylidene (HCCCHCCC).
A Catalog of Exoplanet Atmospheric Retrieval Codes
Authors: MacDonald Ryan J. , Batalha Natasha E.
Published: March 2023

Exoplanet atmospheric retrieval is a computational technique widely used to infer properties of planetary atmospheres from remote spectroscopic observations. Retrieval codes typically employ Bayesian sampling algorithms or machine learning approaches to explore the range of atmospheric properties (e.g., chemical composition, temperature structure, aerosols) compatible with an observed spectrum. However, despite the wide adoption of exoplanet retrieval techniques, there is currently no systematic summary of exoplanet retrieval codes in the literature. Here, we provide a catalog of the atmospheric retrieval codes published to date, alongside links to their respective code repositories where available. Our catalog will be continuously updated via a Zenodo archive.
Evaluating the significance of wing shapes in inferring phylogenetic proximity among the generic taxa: an example of Cantharinae (Coleoptera, Cantharidae)
Authors: Zhao Wei , Liu Hao Yu , Ge Xue Ying , Yang Yu Xia
Published: March 2023

The resolution of phylogenetic relationship among animals is still one of the most challenging problems in systematic zoology. Insect wing is a highly valued morphological character in the systematics, but few studies have been conducted to quantify wing shape variations for phylogenetic reconstruction. In this study, with Cantharinae as the subject, we conducted the GM analyses from hindwings of 16 representative genera. Further, we conducted the UPGMA based on Procrustes distance and Euclidean similarity measure of Mahalanobis distance, respectively, and NJ analysis of the Mahalanobis distance, as well as MP analysis using merged landmark dataset. In the meantime, we constructed the phylogenetic relationships among these genera based on the mitochondrial genomes, with a total of 41 sequences novel to Cantharinae, by BI and ML analyses. As a result, the CVA analysis demonstrated that the hindwing shapes of the cantharid genera are significantly different from one another. All the topologies produced by the GM data partially correspond with that of mitogenomic data. The close relationships of some genera are frequently recovered, including Cyrebion + Themus, Cantharis + Taiwanocantharis + Taocantharis, Stenothemus + Falsopodabrus + Habronychus. These results prove the importance and potential application of the hindwing shapes in recovering the relationships among the sibling genera.

Published: March 2023

Lithocarpus dahuensis, a new Fagaceae species from Fujian Province, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to L. konishii, but its oblanceolate leaf blade has more pairs of acute teeth on the margin, denser lateral veins, smaller cupules enclosing up to 1/4–1/3 of the nut, and its nut is only half as long as those of L. konishii. The plastome of L. dahuensis was 161,303 bp in length and displayed the typical quadripartite structure. Phylogenetic analyses distinguished L. dahuensis from L. konishii with strong support based on whole plastome and nrITS, respectively.

Objective

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) prevalence estimates vary across studies; studies based on national data are few. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of clinically diagnosed PsA in Sweden in 2017, overall and stratified by sex, age, education, and geography, and to quantify disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) use among those in contact with specialized rheumatology care between 2015 and 2017.

Methods

Individuals who were 18 to 79 years of age, alive and residing in Sweden on December 31, 2017, and had a prior PsA diagnosis were identified from the National Patient Register (NPR) and/or the Swedish Rheumatology Quality Register (SRQ). PsA prevalence was estimated according to a base case (BC) definition (ie, ≥ 1 main PsA International Classification of Diseases code from rheumatology or internal medicine departments in the NPR or a PsA diagnosis in the SRQ), according to 4 sensitivity analysis definitions, and for those seen in specialized rheumatology care between 2015 and 2017. In the latter group, DMARD use during 2017 was also assessed. Data for stratifications were retrieved from national registers.

Results

The crude national prevalence of PsA for adults, aged 18 to 79 years, was estimated at 0.39%, according to the BC definition; 0.34% after accounting for diagnostic misclassification; and 0.32% to 0.50% across all sensitivity analyses. The prevalence was lower in males and in those with a higher level of education. The prevalence for those seen in specialized rheumatology care between 2015 and 2017 was estimated at 0.24%. During 2017, 32% of patients in this population received biologic or targeted synthetic DMARDs, and 41% received conventional synthetic DMARDs only.

Conclusion

The prevalence of clinically diagnosed PsA in adults, aged 18 to 79 years, in Sweden in 2017 was around 0.35%. Among PsA cases in recent contact with specialized rheumatology care, almost three-fourths received DMARD therapy in 2017.
Effect of high ambient temperature on physiological responses during incremental exercise in Thoroughbred horses
Authors: Ebisuda Y. , Mukai K. , Takahashi Y. , Ohmura H.
Published: March 2023

Several reports have suggested that the risk of exertional heat illness (EHI) in Thoroughbred racehorses increases in high ambient temperatures. Heat dissipation in horses during exercise becomes less efficient when the body temperature and ambient temperature are close. Therefore, we hypothesised that exercise at 40 °C may increase body temperature, oxygen consumption, and cardiac output during incremental exercise tests compared to 20 and 30 °C. Six trained Thoroughbred horses were studied in a randomised, crossover design at three ambient temperatures with a 6-day washout period. Using a 3% inclined treadmill, horses performed incremental exercise tests at 1.7, 3.5, 6, 8, and 10 m/s for 90 s at ambient temperatures of 20, 30, and 40 °C. The effects of ambient temperature at 10 m/s on physiological variables were analysed using mixed models (P<0.05). Pulmonary arterial temperature and rectal temperature at 40 °C were higher than those at 20 °C (P<0.001) and 30 °C (P<0.001). Similarly, oxygen consumption (vs 20 °C, P=0.009; vs 30 °C, P=0.006) and cardiac output (vs 20 °C, P=0.001; vs 30 °C, P=0.001) at 40 °C were higher than those at 20 and 30 °C. Arterial O2 partial pressure, O2 saturation, and pH at 40 °C were lower than those at 20 and 30 °C. Arterial CO2 partial pressure at 40 °C was higher than that at 20 and 30 °C. No differences were observed in arterial-mixed venous O2 concentration difference (P=0.391) and plasma lactate concentration (P=0.134) at different ambient temperatures. These results indicate that exercise at 40 °C causes excessive high body temperature, decreased running economy, and increased cardiac output compared to exercise at 20 and 30 °C. We strongly suggest that trainers and veterinarians should anticipate the occurrence of increased thermal stresses when ambient temperature is extremely high even in dry conditions and prepare to mitigate the risk of EHI from the perspective of equine welfare.

Published: March 2023

Futsal is a sports game that features high intensity movements with change of speed or direction, present in several actions during the game. With this study is intended to analyse, compare and evaluate the predictive factor of leg power on shooting speed and fatigue levels in young futsal athletes in order to establish effort patterns in these ages, to prescribe training sessions adequately in terms of external/internal load. The study had 32 participants, male, aged between 12 and 17 years (Mean = 14.56±1.66). Participants were evaluated in relation to their lower limb power through the Chronojump system, the speed was measured through a radar placed on the goal line, and in relation to their fatigue levels through the Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST). To identify the differences between groups, the tests of Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney were used, and also a simple linear regression tests for predictive values between variables. In relation to the shots speed, higher values were found in the older groups (P≤0.001), which is directly and significantly related to the higher values of lower limb power, also verified in the older athletes (P≤0.001). In relation to the fatigue levels, it increases as the age of the athletes is higher, verifying that the power of the lower limbs is a predictor variable of the fatigue index (P≤0.001). The analysis conducted indicate that there are significant differences in the association between shooting speed, lower limb power and fatigue indices according to the players levels studied.
Dynamic vapour sorption isotherms and isosteric heats of sorption of two edible insects (Cirina forda andRhyncophorus phoenicis)
Authors: Tshanga C. Bukamba , Malumba P. , Mutiaka B. Kambashi , Bindelle J. , Debaste F.
Published: March 2023

Cirina forda andRhyncophorus phoenicis are widely consumed insects in tropical Africa. Drying is one of the main conservation techniques to improve the availability of these insects, which are harvested seasonally in the wild. The main goal of this study was to investigate the sorption isotherms and to estimate the shelf-life of these two dried insects. Sorption isotherms were determined at 25, 30, 40 and 50 °C by using dynamic vapour sorption. Amongst five isotherm sorption models that were selected to fit the experimental data, Peleg’s equation was found to give the best fit for both insect species. It was observed that all insects exhibited type III sorption isotherms, indicating monolayer-multilayer behaviour with a progressively decreasing biding energy as the number of layers rises. Using the Heiss-Eichner model, dry base initial moisture contents of 8 and 7%, are proposed forC. forda andR. phoenicis respectively. These conditions ensure a shelf-life of 12 months at 30 °C when insects are packaged in polyethylene films.

Published: March 2023

Black solider fly (BSF) (Hermetia illucens L) is one of the potential organic protein sources which is utilised as feed for fish and poultry industries. Effective mass rearing of BSF is inevitable for future sustainable feed industries in Bangladesh. Therefore, this research was aimed at developing the sustainable mass rearing techniques for this insect’s larvae on different available food waste materials in the Bangladesh context. The study was conducted using different household waste, i.e. Rice-Fruit-Meat; Rice-Fruit-Fish; Rice-Vegetable-Meat; Rice-Vegetable-Fish; Rice-Fruit-Vegetable-Meat; and Rice-Fruit-Vegetable-Fish. Larvae reared on Rice-Fruit-Vegetable-Fish diet showed the best results among the treatments in terms of larval growth, i.e. length 23.3±0.1 mm and width 6.2±0.1 mm. The Rice-Fruit-Fish diet showed the minimum larval length (19.5±0.1 mm) and Rice-Fruit-Meat diet showed the minimum larval width (5.6±0.1 mm) compared to the other diets. Among these diets, Rice-Fruit-Vegetable-Fish diet gave the highest larval fresh weight (2.6±0.1 mg) compared to other treatments. In addition, the Rice-Fruit-Vegetable-Fish diet took less time (45.6±0.7 days) to complete its total life span, while the Rice-Fruit-Fish diet took more time (51.3±1.3 days). The absence of Fruit-Vegetable combination in diets could greatly affect the larval growth and development. It can be concluded that the diet combination of Rice-Fruit-Vegetable-Fish can be utilised for better mass production of BSF for sustainable feed production in Bangladesh.

Edible crickets Acheta domesticus and Gryllus assimilis are worldwide mass-reared insects. They are recognised as a sustainable source of protein in the food and feed industries and, in relation to this, must comply with food safety requirements. In this study, we assessed the self-protective ability of crickets to recognise potentially hazardous bacteria-contaminated feed. A two-choice test was carried out to estimate the crickets’ preference between the bacteria-contaminated and control feed. Three bacterial species were tested as potential contaminants: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis. A. domesticus did not recognise feed contaminated with any of the bacterial species tested. G. assimilis avoided E. coli-contaminated feed, while the other two bacteria did not cause differences in feeding behaviour. The study of gas chromatography-electroantennogram detection showed that E. coli released a volatile compound, which was olfactory perceived by both males and females of G. assimilis. The compound was identified as indole. In a behavioural test, crickets spent less time feeding on indole-contaminated feed compared to control feed. Hence, indole induced an avoidance response in G. assimilis. It can be concluded that G. assimilis perceives and recognises some bacteria contaminants and thereby avoids spoiled feed.
Dynamic behavior of stochastic predator-prey system
Authors: Wan Pinglan
Published: March 2023

In this paper, a stochastic predator-prey system with mutual interference is studied, which provides guidance on creating appropriate biodegradable environments. By utilizing Mawhin's coincidence degree theorem and constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, a Volterra model with mutual interference is studied. A few sufficient conditions are obtained for existence, extinction and global asymptomatic stability of the positive solution of the model. Then we perform various numerical simulations to verify the stochastic and deterministic systems are global asymptotically stable. It is significant that such a model is firstly proposed with stochastic mutual interference.
Multi-scale description of pedestrian collective dynamics with port-Hamiltonian systems
Authors: Tordeux Antoine , Totzeck Claudia
Published: March 2023

Port-Hamiltonian systems (PHS) theory is a recent but already well-established modelling approach for non-linear physical systems. Some studies have shown lately that PHS frameworks are relevant for modelling and control of swarm and multi-agent systems. We identify in this contribution a general class of microscopic force-based pedestrian models that can be formulated as a port-Hamiltonian system. The pedestrian PHS has linear structure and dissipation components. Non-linear effects come from isotropic pedestrian interactions. Simulation results on a torus with disordered initial states show that the port-Hamiltonian pedestrian model can exhibit different types of dynamics. They range from relaxed speed models with no interaction, dynamical billiards, or crystallization dynamics to realistic pedestrian collective behaviors, including lane and strip formation for counter and crossing flow. The port-Hamiltonian framework is a natural multiscale description of pedestrian dynamics as the Hamiltonian turns out to be a generic order parameter that allows us to identify specific behaviours of the dynamics from a macroscopic viewpoint. Particular cases even enable through energy balance to determine the Hamiltonian behavior without requiring the tedious computation of the microscopic dynamics. Using PHS theory, we systematically identify a critical threshold value for the Hamiltonian, which relies only on exogenous input and can be physically interpreted.
Interacting moving bottlenecks in traffic flow
Authors: Goatin Paola , Daini Chiara , Delle Monache Maria Laura , Ferrara Antonella
Published: March 2023

We present a general multi-scale approach for modeling the interaction of controlled autonomous vehicles (AVs) with the surrounding traffic flow. The model consists of a scalar conservation law for the bulk traffic, coupled with ordinary differential equations describing the possibly interacting AV trajectories. The coupling is realized through flux constraints at the moving bottleneck positions, inducing the formation of non-classical jump discontinuities in the traffic density. In turn, AVs are forced to adapt their speed to the downstream traffic average velocity in congested situations. We analyze the model solutions in a Riemann-type setting, and propose an adapted finite volume scheme to compute approximate solutions for general initial data. The work paves the way to the study of general optimal control strategies for AV velocities, aiming at improving the overall traffic flow by reducing congestion phenomena and the associated externalities.
Educação para a Paz como percurso para a formação da educadora e do educador pacifista
Authors: Abreu Zilpa
Published: March 2023

A paz como fenômeno social e político define-se a partir de estudos alicerçados em conceitos próprios e componentes epistemológicos específicos que traduzem, na realidade empírica, sua natureza e função social. A Educação para a Paz, como processo pedagógico contínuo e dinâmico, constitui um campo de conhecimento próprio com vista à construção da cultura de paz e da pedagogia da paz. O presente artigo tenciona sistematizar os marcos geradores da Educação para a Paz, sua evolução e sua ação no agir humano, no intento de identificar meios para a formação do educador e da educadora pacifista em sua atuação no campo educacional, bem como nas ações globais e no comprometimento com a vida em todos os seus sentidos. Nesta rota, realizou-se uma pesquisa de natureza descritiva, acompanhada por um levantamento bibliográfico do estado da arte a partir de leituras correlacionadas ao percurso histórico, aos objetivos da Educação para a Paz e sua natureza ética, com o intuito de interpretar desejáveis caminhos de comprometimentos em direção ao desafio de uma Educação para a Paz como imperativo ético em prol do bem comum.
Educação para a paz e para o pacificismo: apresentação do dossiê temático
Authors: Furlin Marcelo , Freitas Valente (Orgs.) Isabel Maria
Published: March 2023

As telas do Contemporâneo, dispostas em um ritmo cada vez mais intenso, apresentam traços, matizes e horizontes diversos, em uma sucessão de cenas sombrias e luminosas, edificantes e assoladoras. A interpretação de tal sequência implica uma tarefa emblemática, cuja constituição solicita rigor e essência, em consonância com as urgências colocadas pelo século XXI.

No contexto despontante, a Ciência e suas inúmeras vertentes procuram vias de investigação que contemplam interfaces eficazes entre a Tradição e a Emergência, em projetos e ações sob a inspiração de conceitos, epistemologias e métodos com a inscrição de pautas nomeadamente humanitárias. Nesse aspecto particular, o volume 27 da Educação Unisinos lança olhares interdisciplinares sobre a História em curso, no mote premente da educação, da paz e do pacifismo.

O dossiê Educação para a paz e para o pacifismo reúne pesquisadores nacionais e internacionais, cujos artigos retratam a expressão multifária da paz em entrelaces com a educação: Agenda 2030, Índice Global da Paz, ONU, sustentabilidade, alteridade, justiça social, Doutrina Social da Igreja. Os temas são instigantes e anunciam aproximações significativas entre paz, suas tendências e suas manifestações nos contextos educacionais deste século.

A edição que inaugura 2023 registra possibilidades e desafios para a educação como fenômeno propício para a realização da paz, em diferentes instâncias. Com efeito, o verbo educar – na origem latina educare, educere - inscreve a metáfora do prefixo ex, o movimento para fora. É necessário, pois, desenhar o percurso da paz, que irrompe do íntimo de cada ser, em direção à comunidade humana. A paz é desdobrada em pacifismo, em atos modestos e grandiosos, em atos educativos.

Published: March 2023

The electronic health record (EHR) is a patient care database, which helps doctors or nurses to analyse comprehensive patient healthcare through health-cart (h-cart) assistance. Electronic health (e-Health) services offer efficient sharing of the patient's information based on geo-location in which nurses, doctors, or health care practitioners access the patients, promptly and without time delay in case of emergency. In e-Health services, nurses are considered as the data holder who can store and maintain patient's health records in the cloud h-cart platform to analyses patient's data effectively. Therefore, nurses need to safely share and manage access to data in the healthcare system; this need required prominent solutions. However, data authenticity and response time are considered as challenging characteristics in the e-health care system. Hence, in this paper, an improved e-health service model (IeHSM) has been proposed based on cloud computing technology to improve the data authenticity, reliability, and accessibility time of the healthcare information.

Published: March 2023

Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) aims to classify the sentiment polarity of a given aspect in a sentence or document, which is a fine-grained task of natural language processing. Recent ABSA methods mainly focus on exploiting the syntactic information, the semantic information and both. Research on cognition theory reveals that the syntax an*/874d the semantics have effects on each other. In this work, a graph convolutional network-based model that fuses the syntactic information and semantic information in line with the cognitive practice is proposed. To start with, the GCN is taken to extract syntactic information on the syntax dependency tree. Then, the semantic graph is constructed via a multi-head self-attention mechanism and encoded by GCN. Furthermore, a parameter-sharing GCN is developed to capture the common information between the semantics and the syntax. Experiments conducted on three benchmark datasets (Laptop14, Restaurant14 and Twitter) validate that the proposed model achieves compelling performance comparing with the state-of-the-art models.

Published: March 2023

Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has gained sustaining attention due to its compact leaning ability. Cancer subtyping is important for cancer prognosis analysis and clinical precision treatment. Integrating multi-omics data for cancer subtyping is beneficial to uncover the characteristics of cancer at the system-level. A unified multi-view clustering method was developed via adaptive graph and sparsity regularized non-negative matrix factorization (multi-GSNMF) for cancer subtyping. The local geometrical structures of each omics data were incorporated into the procedures of common consensus matrix learning, and the sparsity constraints were used to reduce the effect of noise and outliers in bioinformatics datasets. The performances of multi-GSNMF were evaluated on ten cancer datasets. Compared with 10 state-of-the-art multi-view clustering algorithms, multi-GSNMF performed better by providing significantly different survival in 7 out of 10 cancer datasets, the highest among all the compared methods.
The Circular Economy, Big Data Analytics, and the Transformation of Urban Slums in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Cordes Darrold Laurence , Morrison Gregory
Published: March 2023

Sub-Saharan Africa is currently experiencing growth in the number of people living in poverty, and the situation is worsening due to climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. Cities are increasingly under stress because of urbanization and the demand for low-cost housing. Slum dwellers face daunting social, environmental, and economic challenges. Geospatial analysis of remote sensing, demographic, economic, social, and environmental data is being used to delineate slums. The application of circular economy guidelines for an intelligent transformation of slums combines technical and social innovation that reaches beyond the slums to the whole urban ecosystem. Examples of contributions to the circular economy are provided. Finally, some ideas are introduced on how the internet of things can improve access to goods and services and strengthen interconnectedness through the ability to participate more readily in the social dialogue of the city. The city of Accra in Ghana, West Africa, is discussed as a potential slum city to functional intelligent city transformation.
