Agamben’s Language and Politics: from Exception to Paradigm
Authors:   The Criticism and Theory Society of Korea, Gu Jakwang
Published: June 2022

The aim of this paper is to do research on Giorgio Agamben’s efforts to recover language, ethics and politics based on Plato’s paradigm against language, ethics and politics of Aristotle’s gramma: letter that has dominated Western thoughts. In Plato’s paradigm syntagma, ‘a thing the thing itself,’ ‘the thing itself’ as ipseity of a thing referring to self-reference of a thing indicates the birth of linguistic being of a thing. The essence in paradigm is ‘exclusive inclusion’ through inoperativity. With an exclusion of a thing, not only a thing but also its class which it belongs to will be exposed. By rendering ‘a thing’ inoperative (exclusion), the thing itself (inclusion) takes place.
Aristotle, however, considers ‘the thing itself’ as a simple ‘duplicate’ of a thing and excludes it and in its place, he positions ‘gramma.’ Gramma is a reasoned voice in voice that can be articulated with vowels and consonants.
Gramma, a reasoned voice, follows the structure of state of exception in which it sets up itself by inclusively excluding parts in voice that can not be articulable with vowels and consonants. Language and ethics and politics based on Aristotle’s gramma cannot get away from structure by state of exception.
Following Walter Benjamin, Agamben redeems language and ethics and politics on paradigm, by rendering inoperative language and ethics of politics on Aristotle’s gramma. Inoperativity turns gramma into gramma itself, exposing being of gramma. Benjamin’s proletariat general strike renders proletariat inoperative, leading to exposure of proletariat itself and being of proletariat simultaneously.
Rafael Delgado y Victoriano Agüeros, un productivo vínculo editorial
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Posgrado en Letras, Flores Monroy Mariana
Published: June 2022

This article aims to open up the reflection about the productive and professional relationship between the writer Rafael Delgado (1853-1914) and the publisher Victoriano Agüeros (1854-1911), which remained for over two decades. From a historiographical perspective, I will examine the building process around the literary figure of the novelist from Veracruz, as well as the way his name became a sort of brand, which was skillfully promoted and used by Agüeros within his two most relevant projects: the catholic newspaper El Tiempo (1883-1912), including its various literary weeklies, and the Biblioteca de Autores Mexicanos (1896-1910), an ambitious collection of seventy-seven volumes in which the editor reflected his personal conception of the canon from Mexican literature. I’m also exploring some aspects related to editorial production, as well as selected commercial strategies developed by the publisher from Guerrero and the kind of audience he intended to reach with his publishings.
Por entregas: la escritura de El águila y la serpiente (1925-1929), de Martín Luis Guzmán
Authors:   Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Centro de Investigación y Estudios Avanzados (CINVESTAV), Quintanilla Susana
Published: June 2022

The critical edition of Martin Luis Guzmán’s El águila y la serpiente, is the result of extensive research carried out at the initiative of the Academia Mexicana de la Lengua. Part of the investigation involved the tracking of Guzman’s submissions to the newspapers La Prensa (San Antonio, Texas) and El Universal (Mexico City) which formed the corpus of the book, whose first edition is dated June 1928. The consequent database allowed his journalistic texts to be chronologically and geographically placed. It also shed light on the conditions and order in which they were written as well as their relation to the political events in Mexico and Europe at the time, such as the Mexican Revolution and the Hispanic American narrative surrounding it. Based on this information, this article relates the life of Guzmán and his work in journalism in Madrid, Paris, and Hendaye from June 1925 to the end of 1928. The text contributes new elements about the writing process of El águila y la serpiente, whose journalistic records have not been sufficiently considere, and how it was immediately received.
El Héroe de Baltasar Gracián: transcripción del autógrafo
Authors:   Universidad de Zaragoza, Departamento de Lingüística y Literaturas Hispánicas, Spain, Sánchez Laílla Luis
Published: June 2022

Following the previous approaches to the autograph manuscript of Baltasar Gracián’s El Héroe by Adolphe Coster, Miguel Romera-Navarro and Aurora Egido, this paper presents the first non facsimile edition of that document, based on the theoretical and methodological principles of the filologia d’autore. The autograph is a complexe pre-text of a work in progress which contains an integral and very close to the edition of Huesca (1637) redactional state, and, as such, it deserves particular consideration. The edition offers a complete and normalized transcription of the last version contained in the autograph, where there are plenty of corrections and variants. The editor has slightly intervened, solving errors, adding some elements and filling gaps with the aid of the published text. Through this task, it is opened the way to a definitive rescue of El Héroe, which attends a historical and critical edition and a hipertextual edition as well, in which the transcription of the autograph will get a whole meaning. The historical and critical edition of the treatise will present the evolution of the text through the collation of the autograph in its final state and the editions of 1637 and 1639. The observation of the document as complete and coherent text will be also useful for supporting the hypothesis that it was very close to the original presented to the printers.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing: An Orthodox-Christian Reflection on the Ethical Issues
Authors:   Приволжский исследовательский медицинский университет, Тарабрин Р.Е. ,   Первый московский государственный медицинский университет им. И. М. Сеченова,   Сретенская духовная академия
Published: June 2022

Background: Preimplantation genetic testing is used in In Vitro Fertilization to identify genetic abnormalities in embryos. Genetically defective embryos are not transferred to the uterus, resulting in a higher percentage of healthy babies born. Aim: to study the ethical problems of using preimplantation genetic testing in Orthodox Christian discourse. Materials and methods: An analysis of the provisions of Orthodox ethics, expressed in the church resolutions of the Russian Orthodox Church and the general church teaching on morality, was carried out in the context of their application for the biotic analysis of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). Results: Despite the fact that PGT can have positive implications for the choice of the mode of delivery later on and for the earliest possible initiation of intrauterine treatment, this practice meets with certain ethical objections in Orthodox Christian discourse. Identified genetic abnormalities of embryos in PGT encourage women to refuse to transfer the "diseased" embryo, leading ultimately to its death. The absence of intrauterine interaction between a mother and an embryo makes such a choice easily feasible. Given that Orthodox Christianity affirms the beginning of human life from the moment of conception, refusing to become pregnant with a "sick embryo" would be tantamount to its murder. In addition, among the ethical problems of PGT is the possibility of the use thereof for the embryo selection according to sex or other chosen characteristics, which also belongs to immoral actions in Orthodox Christianity. Conclusion: Thus, the possibility for Orthodox couples to participate in assisted reproductive technology must exclude the use of pre-implantation genetic testing, which is ethically unacceptable within Orthodox Christianity. The couple starting IVF should be ready to give birth and bring up such a child, who will be the result of the fertilization in vitro.
La celebración del Inti Raymi en España. Tinkuy e interculturalidad
Authors: Pinilla Pulido Ana Leonilde
Published: June 2022

El Inti Raymi es una de las celebraciones más importantes para la población andina y latinoamericana, y particularmente para sus naciones y pueblos indígenas. Celebra la renovación del tiempo y de las relaciones de los humanos y la naturaleza. Procedente del mundo andino se realiza hoy en todo el mundo. En este artículo realizo un acercamiento a esta ceremonia celebrada hoy en el parque del Retiro de Madrid. Analizo la celebración como una festividad que conecta el tiempo presente y su localización en Europa con el espacio del mundo andino, con una temporalidad de más de 500 años. La celebración del Inti Raymi en Madrid constituye un encuentro donde las personas migrantes andinas se reivindican como ciudadanos. A su vez, la naturaleza ritual andina de la ceremonia consagra el espacio que al volverse sagrado desestabiliza el orden que la modernidad ha impreso en el parque y la ciudad. Se crea la oportunidad, entonces, para un encuentro basado en el reconocimiento mutuo y en la voluntad compartida de co-construir y co-habitar el mundo. Ese proceso se denomina “tinkuy” en la lengua Kichwa. Desde ahí, discuto los modelos de gestión de la diversidad cultural, pluralismo e interculturalidad, poniéndolos en diálogo con una perspectiva que se amplía para abarcar las relaciones con lo no humano.
Cursos de derecho de autor en universidades y facultades de arte en América Latina
Authors: Charria-García Fernando
Published: June 2022

El presente documento resultado de investigación aplicada sobre Cultura del Derecho de Autor, en su fase documental, indagó sobre una parte del aspecto cognoscitivo de dicha herramienta conceptual, en las universidades y facultades de arte en América Latina, evidenciando el poco acceso que los estudiantes tienen al conocimiento de sus derechos como creadores de obras. La indagación se realizó en 285 universidades que en América Latina ofrecen 612 programas en artes, encontrando que, solamente en 62 de ellos se ofrecen cursos relacionados con derecho de autor a los estudiantes, aunque se aceptó tener en cuenta cursos llamados como derechos humanos, entendiendo que el derecho de autor forma parte de ellos. Es comprensible que lo relativo al conocimiento del Derecho de Autor, esté en directa relación con el hecho de que se imparta en una asignatura a los estudiantes, pues es una forma de conocer su contenido, sin embargo, es posible pensar que el conocimiento se pueda adquirir por otros medios, aunque lo ideal es que se haga directamente por las instituciones de educación.

Pearl clam shell waste can be decomposed as a result of CaO compounds. CaO is a compound that can be applied in various fields such as biomaterials, electronics, agricultural industries, and others, for example as a source of biological calcium which plays a role in the growth and survival of shrimp, lobsters, and fish. This study aims to examine the effect of Calcination Temperature on calcium oxide (CaO) characteristics of pearl clam shells (Pinctada Maxima).  The procedures carried out in this study include the preparation of pearl clam shells (pinctada maxima), the formation of Calcium Oxide (CaO) using the calcination method which is then continued with the characterization of the test sample. The CaO characteristics studied include CaO characteristics such as CaO compound content, powder size, powder density, bulk density and porosity. The results of measuring the CaO characteristics of pearl clam shells with variations in calcination temperature get an increase in calcination temperature resulting in the CaO yield value tending to decrease with an increase in CaO levels. Bulk density is not particularly affected by calcination temperature, but powder density tends to increase with temperature increase, whereas, porosity and particle size have smaller values. Interestingly, the values of density and porosity are inversely proportional which is closely related to empty cavities or pores formed as a result of differences in calcination temperature.

A Study of the Relationship Between English Learners’ Metaphoric Competence and Writing Proficiency
Authors: Yang Xuemin
Published: June 2022

As one of the four prominent language skills, writing plays an indispensable role in international communication. Meanwhile, writing, particularly writing in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) has been broadly recognized as the most difficult part in EFL learning. In recent years, cognitive linguistics has provided a new perspective towards writing, proposing that there’s a close connection between the use of metaphor and EFL writing proficiency. To explore the relationship between the two, this study focused on the use of conceptual metaphor in college students’ EFL writing. Sixty English majors were invited to write a composition based on the given topic, and then the relationship between metaphoric competence and writing proficiency was investigated. The results showed that: 1) The majority of students are not good at using metaphors correctly and their metaphoric competence is at a relatively low level. 2) Students’ writing proficiency and metaphoric competence are correlated positively. This study revealed that more attentions should be paid to enrich students’ metaphoric knowledge and cultivate their metaphoric competence so as to improve their writing proficiency.

Published: June 2022

Background: Some viruses cause outbreaks which require immediate attention. Neutralizing antibodies could be developed for viral outbreak management. However, development of monoclonal antibodies is often long, laborious, and unprofitable. Here we report a Norwegian platform for development of chicken polyclonal neutralizing antibodies with powerful therapeutic potential. Methods: Layers were immunized twice with 14-day interval using purified RBD of SARS-CoV-2. Eggs were harvested 14 days after the second immunization. Polyclonal IgY antibodies were extracted. Binding of anti-RBD IgY to RBD was measured by indirect ELISA. Neutralization capacity of anti-RBD IgYs was measured in Vero-E6 cells infected with SARS-CoV-2-mCherry strain using fluorescence and cell viability assay. In addition, the effect of IgYs on the expression of SARS-CoV-2 and host cytokine genes in lungs of Syrian Golden hamsters was examined using qRT-PCR. Results: Anti-RBD IgYs efficiently bind RBD of S protein of SARS-CoV-2 in situ, neutralize the virus in vitro, and lower viral RNA amplification without significant alteration of virus-mediated immune gene expression in vivo. Conclusions: Altogether, our results indicated that chicken polyclonal IgYs can be attractive targets for pre-clinical and clinical development for rapid management of outbreaks of emerging and re-emerging viruses.
Application of Improved Quasi-Affine Transformation Evolutionary Algorithm in Power System Stabilizer Optimization
Authors: Huang Jing , Liu Jiajing , Zhang Cheng , Kuang Yu , Weng Shaowei
Published: June 2022

This paper proposes a parameter coordination optimization design of Power System Stabilizer (PSS) based on an improved Quasi-Affine Transformation Evolutionary (QUATRE) algorithm to suppress low-frequency oscillation and improve the dynamic stability of power system. To begin, the Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm randomly updates the globally optimal solution of each QUATRE iteration and matches the inferior solution with a certain probability to escape the local extreme point. This new algorithm is first applied to power system. Second, Since damping ratio is one of the criteria to measure the dynamic stability of power system, this paper sets the objective function according to the principle of maximization of damping coefficient of electromechanical mode, and uses SA-QUATRE to search a group of global optimal PSS parameter combinations to improve the stability margin of the system as much as possible. Finally, the method's rationality and validity were validated by applying it to the simulation examples of IEEE 4-machine 2-area system with different operation states. The comparison with the traditional optimization algorithm shows that the proposed method has more advantages for multi-machine PSS parameter coordination optimization, and can restrain the low-frequency oscillation of power system more effectively and enhance the system stability.

Published: June 2022

Lipid nanoparticles have an interesting part of drug delivery system. In this study, the modification of the convention nano-lipid based soybean lecithin was demonstrated. Ginger oil derived Zingiber officinale was used along with lecithin, cholesterol and span 80 to fabricate nano-lipid (GL nano-lipid) using thin-film method. Through TEM and confocal microscope, GL nano-lipid exposes the liposome- like morphology. The average size of the resultant nanoparticles was 249.1nm with monodistribution (PDI= 0.021). The ζ-potential of GL nano-lipid was negative as similar to as prepared nano-lipid based lecithin. GL nano-lipid express the highly stable over 60 days of storage at room temperature in term of size, ζ-potential. A shift of pH value from alkaline to acid was detected in lecithin nano-lipid, while with the incorporation of ginger oil, pH value of nano-lipid dispersion was around 7.0. Furthermore, due to the rich of shogaol-6 and other active compounds in ginger oil, the GL nano-lipid is endowed with intrinsic antibacterial feature. In addition, the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay and live/dead imaging revealed the excellent biocompatibility of GL nano-lipid. Notably, GL nano-lipid was capable to carry the hydrophobic agents as curcumin and perform a pH-dependent release profile. A subsequent characterization are a suitable potential for drug delivery system.

Published: June 2022

Background. To describe the characteristics of anterior mediastinal masses on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to assess the role of the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) value in distinguishing benign from malignant mediastinal lesions. Methods. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study on 55 patients with anterior mediastinal mass who performed MRI before treatment. Biopsy and histopathological assessments were done after that. A radiologist evaluates the changes of signal intensity on these sequences: T1- weighted VIBE DIXON pre and post-contrast with Gadolinium, T2 HASTE, T2 TIRM, DWI/ADC, to determine the size, margin of the lesion, the presence of fat, cystic in it. ADCs values were calculated from the ADC maps which were constructed from b = 0 and b = 2000 Results. The study was composed of 55 patients, with 5 benign lesions and 50 malignant lesions. The ADCmean, ADCmedian, ADC10, and ADC90 in the histogram-based approach and hot-spot-ROI-based mean ADC for the malignant lesions was significantly lower than those found in benign lesions (P-value <0.05). The hot-spot-ROI-based mean ADC had the highest value in differentiation between benign and malignant mediastinal lesions, between group A (benign lesions, thymoma A, AB, B1) and group B (thymoma B2, B3 and other malignant lesions). The cut-off point of the ADC value differentiating malignant from benign mediastinal lesions was 1,17x10-3mm2/s with sensitivity of 80%, and specificity of 80%. The cut off point of the ADC value differentiating group A from group B was 0.99 x10-3mm2/s with sensitivity of 78,4%, and specificity of 88.9%. The cut-off point of the ADC value differentiating lymphoma from other malignant lesions was 0,91 x10-3mm2/s with sensitivity of 100%, and specificity of 60.5%. Conclusion. Diffusion-weighted MRI and measurement of ADC value in histogram-based approach and hot-spot-ROI-based mean ADC are very helpful in the differentiation between benign and malignant anterior mediastinal lesions.

Research focused on succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and its substrate, succinate, culminated in the 50’s accompanying the rapid development of research dedicated to bioenergetics and intermediary metabolism. This allowed to uncover the implication of the SDH in both the mitochondrial respiratory chain and the Krebs cycle. Nowadays this theme is experiencing a real revival following the discovery of the role of SDH and succinate in a subset of tumors and cancers in human. The aim of this review is to enlighten the many questions yet unanswered, ranging from fundamental to clinically oriented aspects, up to the danger of the current use of SDH as a target for a sub class of pesticides.
High-Temporal-Resolution Object Detection and Tracking using Images and Events
Authors: El Shair Zaid , Rawashdeh Samir A.
Published: June 2022

Event-based vision is an emerging field of computer vision that offers unique properties such as asynchronous visual output, high temporal resolutions, and dependence on brightness changes to generate data. These properties can enable robust high-temporal-resolution object detection and tracking when combined with frame-based vision. In this paper, we present a hybrid, high-temporal-resolution, object detection and tracking approach, that combines learned and classical methods using synchronized images and event data. Off-the-shelf frame-based object detectors are used for initial object detection and classification. Then, event masks, generated per each detection, are used to enable inter-frame tracking at varying temporal resolutions using the event data. Detections are associated across time using a simple low-cost association metric. Moreover, we collect and label a traffic dataset using the hybrid sensor DAVIS 240c. This dataset is utilized for quantitative evaluation using state-of-the-art detection and tracking metrics. We provide ground truth bounding boxes and object IDs for each vehicle annotation. Further, we generate high-temporal-resolution ground truth data to analyze the tracking performance at different temporal rates. Our approach shows promising results with minimal performance deterioration at higher temporal resolutions (48 – 384 Hz) when compared with the baseline frame-based performance at 24 Hz.

Published: June 2022

One of the regional economic indicators is GRDP, GRDP or gross regional domestic product explains the ability of the region to manage and utilize the resources in the area. In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic entered Indonesia and caused the economy to stagnate. This has a negative effect on national economic activities and reduces the value of GRDP. To overcome these problems, we will look for factors that are thought to influence the value of GRDP. In the process there are obstacles, namely incomplete data (there are missing values). To overcome the missing values, imputation will be carried out using the k-nearest neighbor imputation method. The spatial effect test was conducted to determine whether there was a spatial effect on the data. Based on the test, it is known that there is spatial heterogeneity, so that the modeling of the GRDP value is carried out using the geographically weighted regression model. The GWR method can handle spatial non-stationary, so that it can be seen what variables significantly affect the value of GRDP in each district/city on the island of Java. Before the pandemic, the variables that affected the value of GRDP in Java were local income, average informal wages, realization of domestic investment, and the number of unemployed. During the pandemic, the variables that affect the value of GRDP in Java are local revenue, the realization of foreign investment, and the number of unemployed.

Published: June 2022

Food data plays an important role in planning for national economic recovery. Therefore, Statistic Indonesia (BPS) developed the Area Frame Survey (AFS) in estimating paddy harvested area. AFS is an method for collecting harvested area data which was previously carried out using eye estimate. Eventhough objective sampling has been applied with a two-stage non-stratified point sampling design (point clustered by square segment), the use of a square segment 300 meters × 300 meters has the potential to generate bias due to the potential for observation points to fall outside the target population (paddy field). This study aims to analyze an alternative AFS using the EUROSTAT recommended design, namely two-phase unclustered point sampling (systematic point sampling frame). The method used is a sampling simulation using rice field population map of East Denpasar in February 2019. The simulation results show that the use of point sample frame provides a better level of accuracy and efficiency than segment sample frame.

Penyedia jasa asuransi dalam praktiknya menanggung risiko pemegang polis dengan membayarkan klaim yang diajukan oleh pemegang polis. Sebagai gantinya, pemegang polis perlu membayarkan premi kepada penyedia jasa asuransi. Oleh karena itu diperlukan prediksi besar klaim yang akan diajukan sehingga dapat ditentukan juga besar premi yang perlu dibayarkan oleh pemegang polis. Salah satu cara untuk memprediksi besar klaim adalah dengan menggunakan teori kredibilitas. Teori kredibilitas memungkinkan penyedia jasa asuransi untuk menggunakan informasi dari pengalaman klaim seorang individu dengan informasi lainnya berupa manual rate dalam memprediksi besar klaim di masa yang akan datang. Salah satu model yang dikembangkan dalam teori kredibilitas adalah model kredibilitas Buhlmann. Pada model kredibilitas Buhlmann, diasumsikan risiko antara individu saling independen. Namun dalam beberapa kasus asumsi tersebut tidak terpenuhi. Selain itu, model kredibilitas Buhlmann menggunakan fungsi kerugian berupa squared error loss function untuk mendapatkan estimator kredibilitas model. Pada penelitian ini dijelaskan pembentukan estimator kredibilitas model kredibilitas Buhlmann yang memperhitungkan dependensi risiko antara individunya yang dijelaskan oleh suatu parameter risiko bersama dengan menggunakan proyeksi orthogonal dan fungsi kerugian berupa balanced loss function (BLF). Dengan menggunakan data yang memenuhi asumsi model, dapat diperoleh besar presisi dan goodness of fit dari estimasi klaim yang berbeda-beda dengan mengatur bobot pada BLF.
Perbandingan Model RNN, Model LSTM, dan Model GRU dalam Memprediksi Harga Saham-Saham LQ45
Authors: Nilsen Andrew
Published: June 2022

Harga saham selalu mengalami fluktuasi, dapat naik dan dapat turun. Ketidakpastian tersebut dapat menyebabkan kerugian, jika salah dalam memprediksi arah pergerakan harga saham. Prediksi arah pergerakan harga saham yang lebih akurat dapat mengurangi risiko kerugian. Pada penelitian ini, prediksi arah pergerakan harga saham menggunakan faktor yang mempengaruhi arah pergerakan saham itu sendiri, yaitu harga saham sebagai variabel prediktor. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan perbandingan antara model Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), model Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), dan model Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) dalam memprediksi harga saham. Data harga saham yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah data harga saham-saham yang terdaftar di indeks LQ45. Performa model-model yang digunakan dievaluasi dengan Root Mean Squared Error, Mean Squared Error, dan Mean Absolute Error. Pada penelitian digunakan hyperparameter yang sama untuk semua model yaitu {epoch = 200, batch size = 32, dan units = 24}. Dari rata-rata RMSE, rata-rata MSE, dan MAE yang dihasilkan dari 3 model yang digunakan, disimpulkan bahwa model GRU memiliki akurasi yang lebih baik dari model Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) dan model Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM).

This paper reports on an interdisciplinary data acquisition and processing chain, the novelty of which is primarily to be found in a close integration of acoustic and spatial data. It provides a detailed description of the technological and methodological choices that were made in order to adapt to the particularities of the corpus studied (interiors of small scale rural architectural artefacts) keeping in mind the backbone objective of the research: facilitate comparisons (among buildings, among spatial and acoustic features). The research outputs pave the way for proportion-as-ratios analyses, as well as for the study of perceptual aspects from an acoustic point of view. Ultimately, “perceptual” acoustic data characterised by acoustic descriptors will be related to “objective” spatial data such as architectural metrics. The experiment is carried out on a set of fifteen “small-scale” rural chapels, which is a corpus intended at fostering cross-examinations in the context of an architectural programme acting as a constant. The specificity of this corpus, in terms of architectural layout, usage, and economic or access constraints, will be shown to have had a significant impact on choices made during the acquisition and processing chains.
An informed type A evaluation of standard uncertainty valid for any sample size greater than or equal to 1
Authors: Carobbi Carlo
Published: June 2022

An informed type A evaluation of standard uncertainty is here derived based on Bayesian analysis. The result is mathematically simple, easily interpretable, applicable both in the theoretical framework of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (propagation of standard uncertainties) and in that of the Supplement 1 of the Guide (propagation of distributions), valid for any size greater than or equal to 1 of the sample of present observations. The evaluation consistently addresses prior information in the form of the sample variance of a series of recorded experimental observations and in the form of an educated guess based on expert’s experience. It turns out that distinction between type A and type B evaluation is, in this context, contrived.

Human facial expressions are thought to be important in interpreting one's emotions. Emotional recognition plays a very important part in the more exact inspection of human feelings and interior thoughts. Over the last several years, emotion identification utilizing pictures, videos, or voice as input has been a popular issue in the field of study. Recently, most emotional recognition research focuses on the extraction of representative modality characteristics and the definition of dynamic interactions between multiple modalities. Deep learning methods have opened the way for the development of artificial intelligence products, and the suggested system employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) for identifying real-time human feelings. The aim of the research study is to create a real-time emotion detection application by utilizing improved CNN. This research offers information on identifying emotions in films using deep learning techniques. Kinetic gas molecule optimization is used to optimize the fine-tuning and weights of CNN. This article describes the technique of the recognition process as well as its experimental validation. Two datasets such as video-based and image-based datasets, which are employed in many scholarly publications, are also investigated. The results of several emotion recognition simulations are provided, along with their performance factors.

Published: June 2022

In this work the performances of three different techniques for 3D scanning have been investigated. In particular two commercial tools (smartphone camera and iPad Pro LiDAR) and a structured light scanner (Go!SCAN 50) have been used for the analysis. First of all, two different subjects have been scanned with the three different techniques and the obtained 3D model were analysed in order to evaluate the respective reconstruction accuracy. A case study involving a child was then considered, with the main aim of providing useful information on performances of scanning techniques for clinical applications, where boundary conditions are often challenging (i.e., non-collaborative patient). Finally, a full procedure for the 3D reconstruction of a human shape is proposed, in order to setup a helpful workflow for clinical applications.

Published: June 2022

At present, approximate multipliers are used in the image processing applications. These approximate multipliers are designed with the help of higher order compressors to decrease the number of addition stages involved for the lessening stages. The approximate computing is the best technique to improve the power efficiency and reduce delay path. With the use of approximate computing multiple compressors are designed. In this paper, 10:2 compressors are designed and implemented in the 32-bit multiplier and compared with the exact 32-bit multipliers. The proposed higher bit compressors along with the lower bit compressors are implemented to reduce the delay of the design. This type of digital circuits has much significance in measurement technologies, for enabling fast and accurate measurements.  With the use of approximate compressors, the result may be ineffective, but the power consumption and delay are getting reduced. Hence, these proposed multipliers are only implemented the digital signal processing applications, where there is need for combining two or more signals. The proposed multiplier is used for implementing FIR filter resulted 27 ns delay which is far better than the exact multiplier having 119 ns. These multipliers also used in image processing applications and PSNR of image has been employed.

Reducing suicide-related mortality rate is one of the tasks outlined within the Russian national demographic policy. The purpose of this work is to create a regional model for monitoring intentional self-harm with non-lethal outcome (attempted suicide) based on principles of standardization and personification subject to preventive approaches. The methods employed through the respective work included summarizing of experience, project development, experiment (project implementation), object following method (monitoring), statistical analysis of the obtained data as well as the efficiency analysis for the project, and automation. Main outcomes: 1) inclusion and exclusion criteria specified for the monitoring system; 2) list of registered indicators specified as well as indicators defined, which are descriptive of the population’s suicidality rate; 3) subjects for the monitoring system have been identified; 4) monitoring processes have been identified; 5) rate of the completed suicides and intentional self-harm cases in the region has been detected – 1:1,8; 6) the availability of primary assistance for people registered with intentional self-harm was 78,6% for the adult population and 79,7% – for the child population. In conclusion, there have been potential ways for suicide prevention system identified in terms of implementing the principles of predictive, preventive and personalized medicine.
