From the Politics of Compassion to Imagination: Hannah Arendt on Collectivized Affect
Authors: Borren Marieke
Published: May 2024

Marieke Borren, in her article, “From the Politics of Compassion to Imagination: Hannah Arendt on Collectivized Affect,” goes into Arendt’s belief that compassion is a bad counselor in political affairs, especially when it comes to refugees, the poor and low-skilled workers. Today, many theorists of affect are committed to progressive politics and do not just analyze the affective dimensions of collective political action, but moreover, valorize the “collectivization” of emotion as serving emancipatory causes. In stark contrast, affects, in Arendt’s view, are a poor ground for solidarity, engagement with one’s fellow citizens or human beings – who typically are “anonymous” others most of the time – and for political community. This reticence has caused many readers to accuse Arendt of either heartlessness or rationalism. However, instead of loving or pitying human beings or the Other – amor homines – Arendt advocates a much cooler and distant care for the world – amor mundi. Imagination, representative thinking and care for the world are Arendt’s timely alternatives for the politics of compassion.
A road semantic segmentation system for remote sensing images based on deep learning
Authors: Xie Shutong
Published: May 2024

With the rapid development of deep learning of computer science nowadays in China, many fields in academic research have experienced the powerful and efficient advantages of deep learning and have begun to integrate it with their own research. To be specific, in the field of remote sensing, the challenge of road extraction from the original images can be effectively solved by using deep learning technology. Getting a high precision in road extraction can not only help scientists to update their road map in time but also speed up the process of digitization of roads in big cities. However, until now, compared to manual road extraction, the accuracy is not high enough to meet the needs of high-precision road extraction for the deep learning model because the model cannot extract the roads exactly in complex situations such as villages. However, this study trained a new road extraction model based on UNet model by using only datasets from large cities and can get a pretty high precision in extraction for roads in big cities. Undoubtedly, this can lead to over-fitting, but its unique high accuracy ensures that the model's ability to extract roads can be well utilized under the situations of large cities, helping researchers to update road maps more conveniently and quickly in large cities.

Pneumonia is a common respiratory disease characterized by inflammation in the lungs, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and timely treatment. Despite some progress in medical image segmentation, overfitting and low efficiency have been observed in practical applications. This paper aims to leverage image data augmentation methods to mitigate overfitting and achieve lightweight and highly accurate automatic detection of lung infections in X-ray images. We trained three models, namely VGG16, MobileNetV2, and InceptionV3, using both augmented and unaugmented image datasets. Comparative results demonstrate that the augmented VGG16 model (VGG16-Augmentation) achieves an average accuracy of 96.8%. While the accuracy of MobileNetV2-Augmentation is slightly lower than that of VGG16-Augmentation, it still achieves an average prediction accuracy of 94.2% and the number of model parameters is only 1/9 of VGG16-augmentation. This is particularly beneficial for rapid screening of pneumonia patients and more efficient real-time detection scenarios. Through this study, we showcase the potential application of image data augmentation methods in pneumonia detection and provide performance comparisons among different models. These findings offer valuable insights for the rapid diagnosis and screening of pneumonia patients and provide useful guidance for future research and the implementation of efficient real-time monitoring of lung conditions in practical healthcare settings.

Published: May 2024

Problems in class II elementary school students show students' low knowledge of PPKn learning, symbol material and the practice of Pancasila as well as learning models that are not well developed by teachers in class II, which has an impact on students' cognitive learning outcomes. This research aims to measure the influence and differences in the application of the Scramble type cooperative learning model on the cognitive learning outcomes of class II elementary school students in PPKn learning. The research method used is a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test with non-equivalent control-group design involving experimental and control classes with a quantitative approach. Based on the research results, the scramble type cooperative learning model shows a significant influence on the cognitive learning outcomes of second grade elementary school students in PPKn learning with a significance value of <0.001 (smaller α= 0.05). The results of further research show that the difference in cognitive learning outcomes of students who use the scramble cooperative learning model is greater compared to students who use the conventional learning model, this can be seen from the results of the independent sample t-test with a significant value of 0.004 < 0.05.

Искусственный интеллект (ИИ) сегодня используется во многих целях и присутствует практически в каждом доме, и мы постепенно становимся поколением автоматизированного ИИ. Как отмечается в статье, ИИ в слуховых аппаратах может значительно улучшить качество прослушивания для людей с потерей слуха. Автоматизация слуховых аппаратов совершает скачок, и чтобы слуховые аппараты были успешными, они должны хорошо адаптироваться к потребностям слуха пользо-вателя, а также решать такие проблемы, как фоновый шум. Автоматизированные функции слуховых аппаратов действительно помогли владельцам получить доступ к лучшему звуку. Слуховые аппараты с возможностями ИИ могут анализировать и адаптироваться к среде прослушивания пользователя в режиме реального времени, автоматически регулируя громкость и частоту звука для оптимизации восприятия звука. Это может быть особенно полезно в шумной обстановке, где традиционные слуховые аппараты могут с трудом различать важные звуки и фоновый шум. В некоторых слуховых аппаратах используются датчики для сбора данных о привычках пользователя в окружающей среде, которые могут быть проанализированы алгоритмами ИИ для выявления закономерностей и тенденций. Эту информацию можно использовать для оптимизации настроек слухового аппарата для пользователя или оповещения пользователя и его поставщика медицинских услуг о любых изменениях в состоянии его слуха. Таким образом, слуховые аппараты с ИИ открывают путь к улучшению качества слуха и, возможно, к другим революционным прорывам, поскольку они перенимают процессы существующих потребительских технологий. Несомненно, что в конечном счете, решение об использовании слухового аппарата с технологией искусственного интеллекта должно основываться на индивидуальных потребностях и предпочтениях.

Уровень ожирения значительно вырос за последние несколько десятилетий, вызывая существенные проблемы для системы здравоохранения, такие как нарушение опорно-двигательного аппарата, неприятные ощущения и боль во время движения и выполнения повседневной деятельности, гормональный дисбаланс, инсулинорезистентность, снижение скорости обмена веществ и, наконец, проблемы социального и психологического характера. Этот факт подчеркивает важность исследований, сфокусированных на причинах ожирения. Одной из основных причин ожирения считается нарушение функционирования системы вознаграждения мозга, ответственной за гедонический аспект получения, обработки и формирования ответа на вознаграждение. Жировая ткань является игроком в регулировании голода и сытости, производя и выпуская гормоны, которые транспортируются через гематоэнцефалический барьер и связываются с их рецепторами в гомеостатических и гедонических областях мозга. Ожирение характеризуется повышенным производством висцеральной и подкожной жировой ткани, что связано с изменением уровней адипокинов, таких как лептин, адипонектин и т.д. Различные адипокины имеют про- или противовоспалительные эффекты. Перепроизводство провоспалительных адипокинов вызывает хроническое воспаление, которое является одной из основных характеристик ожирения.

Tomato plants are widely grown in Indonesia using the open agriculture system. However, the widespread application of pesticides in horticultural farming, such as tomato, has prevented pollinators from visiting flowers, contributing to decreased diversity and population due to climate change and pollen and nectar availability in agroecosystems. This study aimed to determine the effects of pollination by stingless bee (Tetragonula laeviceps) on pollination success, fruit yield, and estimated productivity on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Furthermore, the effects of T. laeviceps as a pollinator was investigated on the physical and chemical characteristics of tomato fruit. This study used two treatments: with and without meliponiculture T. laeviceps. Pollination success and fruit yield increased on with meliponiculture (30.91% and 68.68%, respectively) compared without meliponiculture. The physical (fruit weight, diameter, and mesocarp) and chemical characteristics (moisture content, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, ascorbic acid, and lycopene) of tomato fruit were not affected by T. laeviceps pollination. Meliponiculture T. laeviceps increased pollination success, fruit yield, and estimated productivity but had no effects on the physical and chemical characteristics of tomato fruit. The application of meliponiculture T. laeviceps in tomato plantations proved to be a valuable strategy for increasing productivity.
Participatory on farm Evaluation and Demonstration of improved Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.) variety with proper agronomic Practices at Dita and Geze -Gofa Districts of Southern Ethiopia.
Authors: Bune Melese , Bura Anteneh , Wada Abebawu , Lemma Lakamo
Published: May 2024

Background & Aim: Despite large area under cultivation, the production and productivity of field pea in Ethiopia is very low. One of the reasons to this is the insufficient demonstration of newly released and improved field pea varieties with proper agronomic practices. Therefore, participatory on farm evaluation and demonstration of the Birikitu variety and Local check were conducted at Dita district of Gamo Zone and Geze Gofa Districts of Gofa Zone in 2023 by the aim of enhancing the adoption and diffusion of the field pea technology to farmers.
Methods: The demonstration was conducted on 40 farmers field and 4 Farmers Training Center. It was undertaken on single plot of 10mx20m area for each variety on each farmer’s field and each Farmers Training Center with the spacing of 20cm between rows and 5cm between plant and seed rate of 150Kg/ha and fertilizer rate of 100kg/ha NPS. Yield data per plot was recorded and analyzed using mean while farmers’ preference was collected using Focused Group Discussion and summarized using preference ranking methods. Training and field days were conducted.
Results: The mean yield performance of Birikitu variety at farmer’s field was 1,898.3 Kg/ha and that of local check was 1,266.3Kg/ha. Similarly, the mean yield performance of Birikitu at farmers’ field was 1,443.75 Kg/ha and that of local were 781.25Kg/ha. The higher yield gap of 632kg/ha also indicates that there is a strong need to motivate the farmers for adoption of improved field pea varieties over their local practices. The net benefits that were obtained from Birikitu and Local check were 88,888.2 and 48,562 Ethiopian Birr respectively. Birikitu variety showed more profitable than that of local variety both on farmer’s field and Farmers Training Centers. Farmers select the demonstrated varieties by different criteria.
Conclusion: Based on the criteria that farmers settled, Birikitu variety was selected as the first choice by its very good disease and pest resistances, high tolerances to acidic soil, seed color, seed size, optimum grain yield and good marketability. Therefore, the variety Birikitu is recommended with the proper agronomic practices for the wider production by the farmers of the similar agro ecology. .
B-Meson Decays as Probes of New Physics
Authors:   , Jaarsma Ruben Luitjen
Published: May 2024

Understanding the elementary particles and their interactions has been a longstanding pursuit in science. The Standard Model of Particle Physics has provided a particularly successful framework to describe these fundamental particles and forces. However, substantial open questions remain, such as the nature of dark matter and energy, the unification of the Standard Model with General Relativity, and the asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe.

This thesis considers the realm of flavour physics, focusing on the study of B-meson decays to probe the Standard Model at high precision. We explore various B-meson decay channels, leveraging observables like branching fractions and CP asymmetries to enhance our understanding of the Standard Model and to potentially uncover New Physics.

First of all, we scrutinise rare leptonic decays of neutral B mesons, such as decays into muon--antimuon and electron--positron pairs. Within the Standard Model, they suffer from an effect known as helicity suppression, which is one of the reasons for their rarity. The electron--positron final state has a chance of 10^{-13} or even 10^{-15} of being produced through Standard Model processes, depending on the type of neutral B-meson. However, particular types of New Physics could lift the helicity suppression and bring this decay to a level where it could be observed at current experiments.

Secondly, we consider decays of B mesons through a charged-current process into a purely leptonic final state, as well as final states consisting of both leptons and mesons, in a combined analysis. The underlying weak-interaction process is the same in both cases, so that New Physics would contribute to all these channels. We obtain results in accordance with the SM, constraining New Physics effects. Here, we find as well that some decay modes suffer form helicity suppression which can be lifted by certain new contributions. Even within the constraints from current experimental data, the decay of a charged B meson into a final state consisting of an electron and an anti-neutrino could be enhanced to up to ten thousand times its Standard Model value.

Finally, we explore the use of flavour symmetry in the analysis of neutral B-meson decays into final states consisting of pions and kaons to extract fundamental parameters related to CP violation. In view of increasing experimental precision, we minimise the flavour-symmetry-breaking effects in order to improve the precision of the theoretical analysis, providing insights into potential deviations from Standard Model predictions and alternative measurements.

This research highlights the potential of B-meson physics in searching for new phenomena. The quest for improved experimental precision and theoretical understanding in this domain is crucial for unraveling the mysteries that persist beyond the Standard Model. We provide novel insights and lay the groundwork for future experimental endeavours that will hopefully shed light on what lies beyond the Standard Model.
Printing Ochre
Authors: Tsoutsounakis Elpitha
Published: May 2024

The discipline of geology was relatively new at the start of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in the late 1800s, but through the organisation of an efficient government bureau and the voice of its printed page, it became a dominant perspective in the way generations of citizens relate to and view the natural world, human and nonhuman, life and nonlife. I choose to position my press in direct opposition to the maintenance of these dualisms.
I will argue the critical role of print in facilitating USGS domination of terrestrial beings in a practical sense, yet beyond the methods and reach of publication, I believe the products of the USGS mediate our understanding of and relation to these beings. Instead, design practices can be directed towards changing attitudes and understanding between humans and nonhumans. Monika Bakke argues for the importance of artistic endeavours in addressing our collective futurity:
Drawing on both life’s mineral origins and its key role in shaping mineral species, artists are turning to technoscience in order to develop, outside expert circles, better understanding of physical, chemical, and biological environments, not just of the geological past but also those to come in the future. ... Yet, their methodologies are specific to art which offers creative ontological and ethical contributions to public debate. (2017, p. 43)
I am developing a design research paradigm relating to ochre as an epistemic tool for human and nonhuman intersubjectivity and ontological reconciliation or reunification between life and nonlife. I model my practice after a simplification of the USGS: to survey (observe, describe, collect) and to report (archive, document, record), with some critical variance in method and outcomes.
From Bureau to Micro-Industry

Published: May 2024

This paper aims to provide a critical and contextual analysis of research conducted together with Martin Smith at the Royal College of Art in the field of ceramic printmaking during 2015–2018, and the subsequent reflections upon the four years since as we have continued to implement the research as a commercial print studio. Over these seven years, I was a senior research associate on the two AHRC-funded research projects: Extending the Potential for the Digitally Printed Ceramic Surface and Improved Laser Printing Equipment for Ceramics, and design director for the spin-out ceramic design project, the print company Smith&Brown.
Digital design, combined with electrophotographic laser printing technology, has the potential to open up new market models and extend the visual language of ceramic tableware design but it has hit several barriers causing it to be dismissed by the ceramic industry, weak deposits and poor colour saturation being the most significant of these. Our research has contributed to resolving these issues by developing several technical innovations. These improvements have convinced key players within the industry; however, other barriers to the acceptance/implementation of the technology remain. This has led us to question this context and revise our original aims for industrial uptake, and identify new models more appropriate to the exploration of the market for the uptake of our research findings.

O uso excessivo de jogos eletrônicos por crianças e adolescentes tem sido associado a uma variedade de vulnerabilidades psiquiátricas. Estudos indicam que o engajamento prolongado em ambientes virtuais pode levar a sintomas de ansiedade, depressão e problemas de atenção.  O aumento da imersão nesse universo virtual pode contribuir para o surgimento de problemas psicológicos, como ansiedade e depressão. A dependência em jogos eletrônicos se manifesta quando o controle sobre o tempo e a frequência de uso é perdido, sendo reconhecida como uma possível condição psiquiátrica moderna. O objetivo deste estudo é examinar a vulnerabilidade de crianças e adolescentes ao uso excessivo de jogos eletrônicos e os potenciais prejuízos futuros associados a essa dependência. Assim, tem-se como conclusão de que muitos jogadores dependentes enfrentam fragilidades como baixa tolerância à frustração, ansiedade e depressão, tornando-os mais propensos ao vício. O uso abusivo dos videogames pode resultar em problemas como baixo desempenho escolar, isolamento social e conflitos familiares. A adolescência, uma fase de busca por identidade, torna os jovens mais vulneráveis à dependência desses jogos.

Published: May 2024

In tracing the trajectory of global trade, from ancient routes to contemporary networks, this paper delves into the transformative journey of world trade routes and their profound impact on modern supply chains. Beginning with historical trade paths like the Silk Road and maritime routes of exploration, we examine how these ancient arteries laid the foundation for today's interconnected global economy. With the advent of modern transportation and technology, traditional trade routes have evolved into complex networks spanning air, land, and sea. These new highways of commerce facilitate the seamless movement of goods and services across continents, shaping the dynamics of international trade. Crucially, this paper explores the symbiotic relationship between world trade routes and supply chains in the contemporary era. It elucidates how the efficiency and reliability of trade routes directly influence the agility and resilience of supply chains, impacting industries ranging from manufacturing to retail. Moreover, we analyse the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging trends such as e-commerce, sustainability, and geopolitical shifts, and their implications for global trade routes and supply chain management. By understanding the historical context and contemporary significance of world trade routes, businesses and policymakers can navigate the complexities of the modern global economy more effectively, fostering sustainable growth and prosperity for all stakeholders.

Jack Kerouac's Sal in "On the Road" Transcends the Barriers
Authors: Awadelkareem Kawther
Published: May 2024

Abstract
    In Jack Kerouac's narrative "On the Road" the main character Sal drove across the United States of America. He transcended geographical and cultural barriers. The study examines the Narrative to clarify how the road represents an open world for the individual to recognize the fact of the self and the world. Sal had the opportunities to engage with people from different cultural backgrounds and have spiritual connection with landscapes. Consequently,, the road provided Sal With opportunities to realize different relations that involve him and direct his attention to man's relatedness to the natural world. Several principles help examine the Narrative under focus: Emerson's Self-Reliance, Naess’s Self-realization and Deep ecology. The paper concludes that Sal became aware of the fact that there is commonness between humans that transcends the apparent differences between peoples. Moreover, he realizes that without being a member of the unified whole world, one cannot realize himself as an individualized entity. The individual has a recognizable presence within its integrated world.
Decorative Use of Writing on Iraqi Currency (Royal Era as a Model)
Authors: البياتي زينب , Ghareeb Abbas Kadhim , Sami Abdul-Ghaffar
Published: May 2024

The Iraqi currency, in addition to its functional role as a medium of exchange, bears artistic elements that give its surfaces aesthetic value. The Arabic script, with its calligraphic forms, contributes to the creation of a readable message that can be considered an effective communication to the recipient. In addition, the Arabic script apossesses an aesthetic value. Therefore, the function of the Arabic script on currency is not limited to reading. Rather, its semantic and compositional roles extend beyond, due to its artistic and sculptural interventions through its use on the surface of the currency. This is achieved through an implementation technique that is similar in its organizational and technical aspects to bas-relief.

Les espaces mentaux contrefactuels dans le discours politique d’Emmanuel Macron
Authors: Ammari Marwa
Published: May 2024

Dans le discours politique, les hommes politiques cherchent souvent à transmettre leurs opinions ou leurs idéologies à travers la faculté du langage.  Cette faculté se manifeste à travers l’usage des unités linguistiques qui sont actualisées dans  un discours.
Selon la linguistique cognitive, elles introduisent des espaces mentaux, se référant à la cognition du sujet parlant. Parmi les théories cognitives qui ont  traité les aspects cognitifs du discours, nous citons la théorie des espaces mentaux de Gilles Fauconnier (1984). Ce cognitiviste a mis l’accent sur la formation  de plusieurs espaces mentaux dans le discours par  le biais des unités linguistiques et qui sont leurs  introducteurs. Ces espaces peuvent être contrefactuels ainsi que dans le discours politique. Celui-ci  est un discours de promesse qui pourrait impliquer plusieurs représentations mentales hypothétiques et contrefactuelles.
Et pour être proche de l’actualité, nous avons choisi d’étudier les espaces mentaux contrefactuels mentionnés dans le discours d’Emmanuel Macron en adoptant une approche cognitive.

Published: May 2024

Positive spillover effect of globalization ascends women empowerment but under corruption benefits of global integration on women empowerment become vulnerable. Results attain through instrumental variable regression analysis reveal that under the presence of corruption benefits of globalization on women empowerment are significantly reduce by 18 percent. This outcome sorts corruption as main hindrance element in trickle-down the fruitful advantages of globalization on women’s betterment. More corrupt the country, less benefits of globalization will be translated to women, and less will be the women empowerment in the country, this fact implies relevance for the policy formalization. Moreover, economic, political and social globalization has positive and significant effect on women empowerment.

The Asian citrus psylla is one of the most serious pests of citrus, severely infest the leaves and young shoot. To evaluate the effectiveness of chemicals addressed against citrus psylla nymph and adult, the chemicals via Malathion, Lambda Cyhalothrin, Pyriproxifen and Polytrin-c were tested.  Experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design with 5 treatment including control replicated three times. Results showed that after first spray, the lowest mean population was recorded in Polytrin-c (5.97) which was statistically non-significant with Lambda cyhalothrin (6.65) and maximum population was observed in control (18.41). After second spray lowest mean population was recorded in Lambda cyhalothrin (5.773) statistically non-significant with followed by Polytrin-c (6.86) and highest mean population was recorded in control (18.16). All the applied chemicals were dominant in suppressing the pest population. Application of Lambda cyhalothrin and Polytrin-c twice at 15 days’ interval was noted fruitful in minimizing pest.

The In vitro antimicrobial potential of bark and stem of virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia (L.) Planch) was measured in order to authenticate its ethnopharmacological significance. Bark and stem parts were extracted by static maceration technique in non-polar and polar solvents, such as n-hexane, chloroform, ethanol and double distilled water. Agar well diffusion technique was used to verify the antimicrobial activity of these extracts against two of each Gram-negative, Gram-positive and fungal strains. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was measured through modified broth dilution method. However, ethanolic and aqueous extracts of stem resulted in highest inhibition zone (52.5±1.1 mm) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and augmented antifungal activity (46±0.48 mm) against Fusarium solani, respectively. Whereas, n-hexane extract of bark exhibited least antibacterial activity in the form of inhibition zone of 15±0.22mm against S. aureus. Similarly, minimum activity (16.5±0.21 mm) was observed in ethanolic extract of bark, against F. solani. The most resistant MIC value was shown by ethanolic bark extract, i.e. 0.5 mg/mL against P. aeruginosa. Thus, virginia creeper can be recommended as a remedy to combat efficaciously with the resilient contagious strains.
