Analysis of the Economic Impact of International Crude Oil Price Fluctuations on China
Authors: Xiao Yundong
Published: June 2022

This paper analyzes and examines the impact of international crude oil price fluctuations on China's economy. By constructing an SVAR model between crude oil prices and China's economy, prices and monetary policy, we study the impact of crude oil price fluctuations on some important economic indicators in China and explore their intrinsic relationships. The empirical results show that the increase in crude oil prices has a significant positive impact on the consumer price index and producer price index; it has a negative impact on industrial production in the short term, but fails to change its overall development trend. Overall, the economic system based on crude oil prices is stable, despite the fact that international crude oil prices are influenced by various complex and variable international factors.

The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence and its Collaboration with Brain Science
Authors: Liu Ziheng
Published: June 2022

The emergence of artificial intelligence is the product of the development of science and technology. At the same time, the development of science and technology has greatly improved the ability of the human brain and artificial intelligence. For example, scientists choose to train artificial intelligence with video games and improve the flexibility of the human brain. One example of artificial intelligence’s success and its rapid development is AlphaGo. Go has long been recognized as one of the most difficult games in the world, and it seems surprising that artificial intelligence could easily win a match against a human master. But, it wasn't easy, and the reason for AlphaGo's victory has a lot to do with machine learning. By mimicking humans and their own evolution to give themselves an edge in the game and win. At the same time, many people think that artificial intelligence is very dangerous, and they think that artificial intelligence will replace or eliminate human beings, but the fact is the same as people's imagination? The benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom. After decades of development, artificial intelligence can reach the level of cooperation with humans. Basic cooperation can no longer meet people's needs, and more advanced cooperation projects need to be developed. Human beings and artificial intelligence help each other, especially in brain science and the application of CNN in image processing. In these studies, human beings provide inspiration for the research and development of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence provides convenience for human life. Therefore, we can know that artificial intelligence plays a very important role in the evolution of human beings.

Summary of Research on Application of Deep Learning in Image Recognition
Authors: Ma Don Yitong
Published: June 2022

With the rapid development of technology, artificial intelligence is gradually applied in the field of image processing. Traditional image processing and recognition takes human extraction of features as a means to describe and characterize low-level edge information in images, but a large number of features extraction causes certain troubles to image recognition, and it is difficult to extract deep-level information. In recent years, deep learning, as an important emerging technology in the field of image recognition, has broad application prospects, and the research on image recognition technology has important theoretical value and practical significance to promote the development of computer vision and artificial intelligence. It opens up a whole new direction in image processing research, thus meeting the demand for efficient image processing. This paper reviews the applications of deep learning in image recognition, analyzes the classical convolutional neural network model, and summarizes the applications of deep learning in the fields of license plate recognition, face recognition, and medical image recognition.
An Overview of RSA and OAEP Padding
Authors: Zhong Yutong
Published: June 2022

Encryption is crucial in information communication. The secret data is transformed into secure form and transferred through various channels. It is important for encryption to prevent unauthorized access to data and the encrypted data can’t be cracked easily. The RSA algorithm was released by Rivest, Shamir and Adleman in 1978. It was the first practical asymmetric cryptosystem and now it is the most widely used asymmetric cryptosystem in the world, covering security of almost everything such as cellphone communication to online banking. In this article, we review the RSA algorithm and the padding schemes used with RSA encryption to avoid semantical insecurity such as optimal asymmetric encryption padding (OSAP).

Authors: Yu Ying , Yu Dantong
Published: June 2022

The success rate of computer colour matching not only depends on the colour matching theory and algorithm, but also limited by the basic data of colour matching. In addition to the traditional accuracy analysis method, colour gamut analysis is added. We take the establishment of basic data for dyeing polyester fabrics with disperse dyes as an example to discuss the rationality of basic data for computer colour matching. The model can obtain colour matching results with a colour difference of less than 1 after 1-2 colour corrections, and can meet the basic requirements of multi-component, fixed-proportion colour matching and colour correction in the production of colour spinning.

Bee: End to End Distributed Tracing System for Source Code Security Analysis
Authors: Qiu Li , Song Xuyan , Yang Jun , Cui Baojiang
Published: June 2022

As distributed services become more and more complex, their security is becoming an increasingly important issue. End-to-end tracing has emerged recently as a valuable tool to improve the dependability of distributed systems, by performing dynamic verification and diagnosing correctness and performance problems. However, several shortcomings of the end-to-end tracing system`s security analysis are uncovered during the development. First of all, the density of probes is not enough, and also the descriptions of different operations are not consistent, which does not allow effective access to intermediate information of end-to-end services and brings about data analysis problems. Second, the implantation of probes is complex and many operations are highly coupled with the monitored program. The third point is that the sampling algorithm in the existing end-to-end distributed tracing system is too simple to effectively improve the performance of the high-density probe tracing system used for security analysis. In this paper, we address the above problem and successfully build Bee. To demonstrate the Bee's helpfulness for those problems in Security analysis, we test its performance and prove some privacy leaks vulnerabilities and access control vulnerabilities of OpenStack with Bee. The experimental results show that with the high-density probes. Bee can capture the detailed request process and quickly locate abnormal operations.

Article: The Shortcomings of the EU Public Country-by-Country Reporting Directive
Authors: Loureiro Manuel Campos
Published: June 2022

The Directive (EU) 2021/2101 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2021 amending Directive 2013/34/ EU as regards the public disclosure of income tax information by certain undertakings and branches, entered into force on 21 December 2021 and must be implemented by all EU Member States until 22 June 2023. It introduces the so-called ‘Public Country- By-Country Reporting’ system in the European Union. With these new transparency rules, the EU seeks to raise greater public scrutiny on the tax planning practices carried out by certain undertakings with activity in the EU. Despite its many achievements, the directive has several shortcomings, namely in what concerns compliance with legal certainty, issues in its implementation and effectiveness for achieving its ratio legis. After mapping these issues, we will put forward proposals that could be adopted by either the European or domestic legislator (the latter, at the implementation stage).

Towards an Ecosystem for Consumer Protection in the Context of AI-based Credit Scoring
Authors: Montagnani Maria Lillà , Paulesu Carolina
Published: June 2022

The Big Data phenomenon first, and AI most recently, have significantly changed the way in which credit scoring takes place and creditworthiness is evaluated by lenders. Beside traditional credit data, the creation of consumers’ credit-scores now involves also non-traditional data and is based on the predictions that lenders can make on the basis of those data. The use of AI, coupled with the availability of extensive amounts of ‘alternative’ data, poses several questions as to the level of protection granted to consumers in relation to the discriminatory effects that an ungoverned used of such technology can generate. The article addresses the suitability of the Proposal for a new Directive on Consumer Credit to protect consumers that enter into credit agreements where access to credit is determined by AI-based credit scoring systems. In doing so, it also takes into consideration other rules within the EU legal framework that can provide, albeit indirectly, protection to consumers, such as antidiscrimination law and Article 22 of the GDPR. It concludes that in a technologically complicated scenario such as the one of AI credit scoring, consumers can be effectively protected only by introducing an ecosystem of rules that while empowering consumers also regulates the use of AI on the business side of the credit agreement.

The Worker and the Law Revisited: Conceptualizing Legal Participation Mobilization and Consciousness at Work
Authors: Kirk Eleanor
Published: June 2022

Situating legal mobilization within a wide-ranging conceptual framework of worker activity that goes beyond recent interest in ‘strategic litigation’ and related organizing in the gig economy, this contribution explores the fundamental relationship between ‘laypeople’, i.e., the non-professional subjects of law, and labour law. Notwithstanding a growing interest in empirical labour law research, there remains a lack of conceptual clarity and rigorous evidence pertaining to how workers, activists and employers think about law and how this has evolved over time. The idea, often implicit within policy discourses, that we have become increasingly ‘legally minded’, and the implications of this, remain particularly underexplored. This article develops understanding of what legal mobilization is, does, or potentially can do, mapping the range of ways in which ‘laypeople’ may invoke or engage with law at work, distinguishing between activities defined as (1) legal participation; (2) mobilization; and (3) consciousness. This schema goes beyond the more obvious ways in which laypeople engage formal legal institutions, ‘strategically’ or otherwise, towards everyday processes of constructing ‘legalities’. The concept of legalities, meaning taken-forgranted assumptions about what is ‘legal’, provides a lens through which to view the ideological processes involved in the constitution of society and economic institutions through law and vice versa. Revisiting the theme of the worker and the law, this schema focuses as much on how the worker understands and acts upon the conceptions of law as much as how the law characterizes and protects the worker, and how the interrelations between the two may have evolved over time.

Sanctions Against the Russian War on Ukraine: Lessons from History and Current Prospects
Authors: van Bergeijk Peter A.G.
Published: June 2022

This article studies the case of the sanctions against the Russian war on the Ukraine in 2022 against the background of four major and well-documented historical sanction episodes: (1) the anti-Apartheid sanctions of the 1980s, (2) the sanctions against the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait in 1990, (3) the sanctions against Iranian nuclear capabilities and (4) the US and EU sanctions against the Russian annexation of the Crimea. Two cases (South Africa and Iran) have a comparatively low probability of success based on pre-sanction trade linkage between sender and target and the target’s regime type (the autocracy score). The key to understanding their success is in the banking channel (debt-crisis and international payment system sanctions) and the behaviour of the private sector (divestment and over-compliance). The failure of the sanctions against Iraq underscores the importance of regime type and the need for a viable exit strategy and shows that some decision-makers cannot be influenced with economic hardship. The 2014 sanctions against Russia illustrate the comparative vulnerability of the European democracies and their weakness in organizing comprehensive sanctions that bite. Given the increased Russian resilience, the increasingly autocratic nature of President Putin’s government, the credibility of his 2014 tit-for-tat strategy and the failure of European democracies to implement appropriate strong and broad-based measures, smart and targeted sanctions are unlikely to influence the Kremlin’s calculus. The European Union could only influence that calculus by restoring its reputation as a credible applicant of strong sanctions, including an embargo on capital goods and a boycott of Russian energy.

Export Controls and Securitization of Economic Policy: Comparative Analysis of the Practice of the United States, the European Union, China, and Russia
Authors: Hrynkiv Olga
Published: June 2022

National security rhetoric has gained prominence due to increasingly pervasive digitalization, the emergence of cutting-edge technologies, and developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Increased reliance on these areas fuels industrial development but also renders national economies vulnerable to foreign interference. Ultimately, the current wave of technological development with its potential threats intensifies competition between states and redefines their economic and military advantages over potential global rivals. Against this background, certain states have expanded the scope of their export control regimes by extending the lists of controlled items and/or imposing ‘catch-all’ control. Used in conjunction with economic sanctions, weaponized tariffs, and extensive investment screening mechanisms aimed to protect national security interests, such measures go beyond conventional non-proliferation purposes to address economic security, technological supremacy, and human rights concerns for which those states are willing to sacrifice the economic efficiency that accompanies trade liberalization. Using the United States, the European Union, China, and Russia as case studies, this article discusses to which extent different export control objectives of these international actors have been securitized. Securitization of certain states’ interests is inevitable, even if not desirable. Yet, this article argues that international law can be managed to control and limit the level of securitization of domestic policies in order to strengthen the international legal system as a whole.

The scientific knowledge is what it has and what it owes to religion
Authors: Jamal Hamafaraj Nawzad
Published: June 2022

This research attempts to interpret and analyze the concept of ’knowledge’ and ’religion’ and presents the role of scientific knowledge and its position on ’religion’ for Bacon. It is no secret to the follower of the history of philosophy that Bacon was one of the first philosophers to advocate for systematically independent rational knowledge. Applied knowledge must transcend the old speculative and idealistic knowledge. Because scientific thinking, in his opinion, requires an independent and personal approach and is based on rational and objective foundations as well. What distinguishes systematic thinking and scientific knowledge about religion and mythical and superstitious ideas is methodology, and scientific objectivity based on experience. If the human mind wants to reach the truth of things in life, it cannot be done by following subjective obsessions and fantasies. The error of the human mind and its failure to deal with matters correctly, is due to the use of unscientific and subjective tools and methods. And it comes back to knowledge that is not based on evidence and real, tangible evidence as well. From this point of view, the research presents Bacon’s ideas and his position on religion. He tries to answer various questions on this subject.

Authors:   Nishtar Medical University & Hospital Multan, Shahid Muhammad
Published: June 2022

Objective: To evaluate the role of C Reactive Protein and other inflammatory markers in cardiovascular risk prediction. Study Design: A prospective case-control study. Place and Duration: At Cardiology Department of Nishtar Medical University & Hospital Multan from 5th Oct 2020 to 5th Oct 2021. Methodology: A total of 150 postmenopausal women were studied and divided into CVD patients (n=50) and control patients (n=100). The analyzed markers of inflammation included Interleukin-6, high-sensitivity C-reactive Protein, Soluble ICAM-1 (slCAM-1), and Amyloid-A. The Homocysteine, Lipid Profile, and Low and High-density lipoprotein levels were also evaluated. Cardiovascular events considered in our study were death after coronary artery disease, non-fatal heart attack or stroke, or requiring coronary-revascularization methods. Results: In univariate analysis, it was observed that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were the strongest risk predictor of cardiovascular diseases. Amyloid-A, High-density lipoprotein, Cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Soluble lCAM-1, Interleukin-6, Apolipoprotein B-100, Homocysteine, total cholesterol, and the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol also contributed to predicting cardiovascular diseases. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (95% Cl: 1.4(1.0-2.0)) and Amyloid-A (95% Cl: 0.9(0.7-1.5)) were also strong risk predictors in women. On the other hand, in multivariate analyses, only High-sensitivity C-reactive protein and the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were independent risk predictors. Conclusion: As high-sensitivity CRP is an independent cardiovascular risk predictor, adding it to lipid screening may be a good procedure for identifying women at risk of cardiovascular diseases. Keywords: High sensitivity C-reactive protein, Cardiovascular events, Amyloid-A, Lipids, Inflammatory markers
Using Digital Flashcards to Enhance Thai EFL Primary School Students’ Vocabulary Knowledge
Authors: Yowaboot Chadaporn , Sukying Apisak
Published: June 2022

There is growing evidence in L2 vocabulary research that digital flashcards facilitate learners’ vocabulary learning and development. Several studies also suggest that deliberate vocabulary teaching is critical for successful language learning. Hence, the primary goal of this study was to investigate whether the use of digital flashcards could improve English vocabulary knowledge of the form-meaning link in Thai primary school children in an EFL context. The study also explored Thai primary school students’ attitudes toward using digital flashcards in vocabulary learning. The participants were 120 Thai primary school students who were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental participants were taught using digital flashcards, while the control group received no unique treatments. Four measures of vocabulary knowledge were used to assess the participants’ vocabulary learning. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was also used to explore the students’ attitudes toward digital flashcards. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The results showed that although both cohorts significantly improved their receptive and productive knowledge of L2 vocabulary, the students in the experimental group performed significantly better than students in the control group. These results indicate that digital flashcards are an effective method to facilitate vocabulary learning in Thai primary school learners. The analysis of the questionnaires also showed that learners had a very positive attitude towards the use of digital flashcards. These findings reaffirm the efficacy and value of visual and sound images, such as digital flashcards, in vocabulary learning. Implications for practitioners and suggestions for further studies are also addressed.

The Penalization of Street Harassment and the Risk of Ethnic Profiling. A Pragmatic ‘Sociology of Critique’

Since 2014, several countries have introduced legislation to criminalize ‘street harassment.’ In France, this criminalization was framed within a feminist perspective, by conceiving of street harassment as the first level of a ‘continuum of violence against women.’ In the Netherlands, on the other hand, proposals to criminalize these behaviors came from right-wing political parties. They framed ordinances as protecting public order and focused on racialized loitering youth as the main problem group. Despite these differences, proponents of penalization in both countries encountered a similar criticism: according to left-wing politicians, feminists, and anti-racist activists, criminalizing street harassment could lead to disproportionate punishment of racialized men from disadvantaged backgrounds. This article argues for a pragmatic ‘sociology of critique’ within the sociology of law, which provides insight into how actors involved in the introduction of regulation develop reflexivity about the risks of legislation, as well as their blind spots.

Brassebönor, stålmän och svarta spöken. Idrottande kroppar i Ses bevakning av sommar-OS 1948-1980
Authors: Tolvhed Helena
Published: June 2022

This artide deals with representations of sporting bodies in the weekly magazine Se's reports from nine Olympic Games, 1948-1980. Media representation (text and images) contributes to the process of shaping the reader's views on the world, and representations of sport communicate ideas on "natural differences" (based on, for example, gender, race or nationality) between bodies. I arglie that while male athletes are represented as sporfsmen, with an emphasis on their superior physical abilities and remarkable willpower, female Olympians are predominantly represented as women. Representations of female athletes thus help to uphold the boundaries between the sexes by displaying a passive female body not suited to represent the nation. The female Olympian's body is not primarily an athlete's body, but a female body. Representations of male "heroic achievements" in the Olympic Games, on the other hand, function as confirmation of belonging to a superior class. The "physical masculinity" displayed through sport stories emphasizes male affinity, and pictures of women function as invitations to the implied male reader to identify with this ideal masculinity. The ideal masculinity is, however, not only constructed through a contrasting comparison with femininity, but also against the "black" male body. The athletic achievements of the "black" body must be explained and presented as restricted to the area of sport. This is, I argue, done by constructing the "black" body as a different kind of body, guided by "natural instincts" as opposed to the "white" body's more intellectual and "civilised" skills.

Since critics first alleged that feminism claimed to speak for all women, feminist researchers have been aware of the limitations of gender as a single analytical category. Leslie McCall argues in this artide for the need to consider the methodological aspects of intersectional analyses. Three approaches to the complexity of intersectionality are identified, anticategorical, intercategorical and intracategorical. McCall argues for the benefits of the intercategorical approach to complexity which does not reject existing and established analytical categories but works to reframe them. The artide was originally published in English in Signs: Journal of Women in Culture andSociety 2005, vol. 30, nr 3.
Samkönat partnervåld. Vad är det och vilket stöd behövs?

Violence in same-sex relationships – what is it and which kind of support is needed? In the following study we show some of the similarities as well as differences between same-sex partner abuse and different-sex partner abuse. We point at the responsibility that authorities and voluntary organizations has for not treating lesbians, homosexual men, bisexual women and men and transsexual women and men (lhbt) in a homophobic way. The lhbt-organizations in turn are not homophobic, but are not well informed about questions that concern partner violence. The respondents in the study also point to the fact that the lhbt-circle is rather small in Sweden. Therefore they fear they have to give up their anonymity to get help and support if they contact an lhbt-organization. This underlines that authorities and heterosexual organizations in general must see to that they get the proper lhbt-competence to meet the needs of victims of same-sex partner abuse.
Män och manlighet i Sveriges innovationspolitik
Authors: Lindberg Malin
Published: June 2022

In this article I set out to explore how gender is being constructed in Sweden’s innovation policy. Specifically, I distinguish a connection between the pattern of prioritization within this policy area and the notions “men” as well as “masculinity”. My survey of national and regional policy documents regarding public funding of innovation systems and clusters, exposes how in half of the cases the state promotes the group of Basic and Manufacturing Industries. The group of New Technologies is being furthered in a third of the cases. In a fifth of the cases, the group of Service and Experience Industries is being furthered. This means that the groups of Basic and Manufacturing Industries and New Technologies, both primarily employing men as employees and entrepreneurs, has been given high priority within Sweden’s innovation policy while the group of Service and Experience Industries, employing mostly women or both men and women to the same extent, has been given a low priority. On a symbolical level, the two prioritized groups can be connected to two forms of masculinities: one based on physical strength and mechanical skills and the other on a calculating rationality among technological experts. Introducing the concept of co-construction of gender and innovation, I make visible how gender and innovation is mutually constructed within the innovation policy when the pattern of prioritization coincides with the gender segregated labour market. This co-construction rests upon an understanding of dualistic gender constructions. In order to achieve a less restricting practice within the making and execution of innovation policy programs, I find it necessary to highlight innovation systems and clusters that manage to bridge the gap between men dominated, women dominated and gender balanced branches of industry, thus erasing the need for segregating and hierarchical gender constructions in Sweden’s innovation policy.

Estimating of nickel resource in block WN-01 PT. Karunia Alam Waigeo, West Papua aims to understand the number of metal tonnages and the direction of the resource dispersion. The study has been done with phases which are literature study, retrieval of drill data (49 boreholes), data processing with Ordinary Kriging (OK) method using GS+ version 70 software, in as much, estimating the resources using block method kriging and point kriging. To understand the estimation correlation of grade to composite grade the scatter diagram analysis was used. Based on the scatter diagram (scatter plot) for the block kriging method correlation coefficient of 0,8843 is obtained while for the point kriging method is 0,8935. With a standard deviation of 0,3280, the point block kriging method has obtained 18.630,08 tons of nickel while for the point kriging method with 0,4060 of the standard deviation the nickel obtained is 18.875,41 tons.

The importance of task identification using the job safety analysis method is to detail the works based on work sequences and risks possibly arising. Job safety analysis can be used as a first step to find out the potential accident and to make accident controls. The results show that the potential accidents can be identified based on their severity. High risk, causing physical disability to death, occurs in gravel processing work using jaw crusher, gravel hauling, concrete mixing, and casting. Moderate risk, causing treatments at the hospital, includes welding, repairing excavator buckets, stacking and tidying material, screening stones and sand, and cutting iron. Low risk, which can be handled with first aid, includes excavating material, loading, painting iron frame, curling and straightening iron, repairing bulldozer body, repairing bulldozer machine, repairing dump truck glass, replacing dump truck coupling, replacing dump truck tires, replacing dump truck brake, repairing dump truck bucket, repairing excavator engine, repairing excavator crawler, and repairing the engine of concrete pump trucks. In addition, PT. Pulau Lemon has not properly implemented the use of personal protective equipment and work protective equipment for their worker, therefore it is still needed to do some required improvement.
TECHNICAL STUDY ON BLASTING ACTIVITIES AT PT. SEMEN BOSOWA MAROS, SOUTH SULAWESI
Authors: Triyanto Bambang , Panjaitan Risanto
Published: June 2022

Drilling and blasting activities in PT. Semen Bosowa Maros quarry aims to dismantle limestones of the host rock with fragmentation expected size of ≤100 cm, considered the maximum size of rock crusher receive opening. The drilling pattern used is a staggered pattern, while the blasting pattern used is a blasting streak pattern, with the ignition of one line and straight lines of the one between the next line. Based on observations in the field, the boulder that came from the blasting activities are relatively high at 20.63 %. To reduce the resulting chunks of the rock blasting activity, it’s important to change the geometry of the blasting base formulation expressed by R. L. Ash, thus changing the distance to 3.1 m; spacing to 3.7 m; stemming height to 3.14 m; bench height to 5.80 m and depth of blasting hole to 6.10 m. With the new blasting geometry, lump-sized rocks >100 cm generated from operating activities actual blasting theoretical calculations amounting to only 14.82 %.
MINERAL RESOURCES POTENTIAL IN WINDESI DISTRICT, TELUK WONDAMA REGENCY
Authors: Haluk Hermina
Published: June 2022

Geologically the Windesi area is composed of sedimentary rocks from the Kembelangan Group, which are in the Middle Jura to the Middle Miocene. The Kembelangan group was suppressed in harmony with Imskin limestone (KTi) which is in the Upper Cretaceous to the Middle Miocene. Thus, it has quite a variety of mineral potential. Potential Mineral Resources in the Windesi District are classified as Non-Metallic Minerals consisting of limestone, sandstone, shale, and assorted gravels. The possible occurrence of limestone in Windesi District is found in Wamesa Tengah village, Windesi village, Sombokaro village, Yopmios village, and Sandey village with an estimated reserve area of 3,093,325 Ha. Sandstones are found in Sandey village and partly in Wamesa Tengah village, as well as in Windesi village. The possible occurrence of sandstone in the Windesi District area is quite large with an estimated reserve area of 156,290.51 Ha. Shale is scattered in the middle of Sandey village and the northern part of Windesi village and partly in Yopmios village with a reserved area of approximately 414,845.19 Ha. Assorted gravel potential was found in Sandey village in the west and along the coast of Tanjung Ronsore in the north to the northeast with a reserved area of approximately 2,973.17 Ha.
