Simulation of the autonomous maze navigation using the NEAT algorithm
Authors:   Institute of Software Systems NAS of Ukraine, Omelianenko Ia.V.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the problem of finding a solution for the navigational task of navigating a maze by an autonomous agent controlled by an artificial neural network (ANN). A solution to this problem was proposed by training the controlling ANN using the method of neuroevolution of augmenting topologies (NEAT). A description of the mathematical apparatus for determining the goal-oriented objective function to measure fitness of the decision-making agent, suitable for optimizing the training of ANN in the process of neuroevolution, was given. Based on the invented objective function, a software was developed to control the neuroevolutionary process using the Python programming language. A system for simulating the behavior of an autonomous robot that can navigate through a maze using input signals from various types of sensors has been created. The simulation system allows to imitate the behavior of a physical robot in a large number of experiments in a short time and with minimal expenses. The experiments performed using the created simulation system to find the optimal values of hyperparameters, which can be used for successful training of the controlling ANN by the method of neuroevolution, are presented. Additionally, the implemented new methods of visualizing the training process are described. These methods significantly simplify the search for optimal hyperparameters of the NEAT algorithm, due to the visual demonstration of the effect of changing one or another parameter on the training process.

OBJECTIVES

With this study, we aim to describe transgender and nonbinary adolescents and young adults’ stated gender treatment goals at the time of initial presentation to medical care.

METHODS

This is a retrospective chart review of transgender and nonbinary patients aged 10 to 24 seeking specific gender-affirming health care. Charts were reviewed for specifically stated goals of future hormonal or surgical care for gender and analyzed by the experienced or asserted gender (man, woman, nonbinary, eclectic) of participants.

RESULTS

In total, 176 patient encounters were reviewed. Of these, 71% were assigned female at birth. Most participants experienced a masculine gender (46.6%), identified as white (65.3%), and had private health insurance (73.3%). Most patients had a goal of initiating hormone therapy (97.4%) and eventual surgery (87.1%). Of those who had a surgical goal, most (87.5%) desired surgery of the chest or breast, and a minority (29.3%) desired eventual genital surgery. The second-largest gender group was patients who either declined to state an asserted gender or felt unable to describe their gender experience (eclectic, 23.3%), and this group’s treatment goals did not mirror any other group’s goals.

CONCLUSIONS

At the time of initial presentation to medical care for gender-specific needs, many adolescents are capable of asserting specific treatment goals. Most do not desire genital surgery. A large minority of patients decline to state an asserted gender or feel unable to assert a specific gender, and this population appears distinct from more traditional genders in terms of treatment goals.

Published: December 2023

Este artigo apresenta apontamentos sobre a qualidade na pós-graduação a partir da avaliação realizada pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) em cursos stricto sensu. A avaliação da pós-graduação stricto sensu no Brasil constitui instrumento fundamental do Sistema Nacional de Pós-Graduação. Os resultados da avaliação têm usos diversos: estudantes podem se basear pelas notas para escolher seus futuros cursos; as agências de fomento nacionais e internacionais orientam suas políticas de acordo com as notas atribuídas pela avaliação, entre outros. Desse modo, a avaliação da CAPES constitui-se um instrumento para acreditação da qualidade dos programas de pós-graduação nacionais. Por meio da comparação de desempenho dos programas de pós-graduação, é acreditada a qualidade dos programas, e isso acaba por acirrar a competitividade entre eles, incitando ainda mais a corrida pela produção no meio acadêmico. Utilizando-se como método o levantamento de estudos, e tendo como objetivo apresentar reflexões sobre a avaliação do stricto sensu e de seu papel como instrumento para a certificação da qualidade dos programas de pós-graduação, este artigo apresenta como resultados discussões e apontamentos sobre qualidade na pós-graduação com relação à formação de recursos humanos e à produção científica.
Desenvolvimento socioemocional na Educação Básica
Authors: Leonhardt dos Santos Diana
Published: December 2023

Historicamente, os aspectos cognitivos da aprendizagem, como o desempenho em testes e provas de conhecimento relacionados à leitura, escrita e matemática, sempre tiveram destaque nos currículos escolares. Entretanto, essa visão vem se modificando nos últimos anos. Desde a publicação da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Brasileira em 1996 (BRASIL, 1996), tem-se tensionado a necessidade de as escolas da educação básica atuarem na formação integral dos estudantes. Com a homologação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular em 2017, o incentivo ao desenvolvimento socioemocional dos estudantes tornou-se mais evidente. Diante desse panorama, o presente artigo tem como objetivo compreender como o campo de estudos sobre a temática do desenvolvimento e aprendizagem socioemocional na Educação Básica se apresenta na literatura produzida nas teses e dissertações em programas de pós-graduações nacionais nos últimos anos. A abordagem metodológica adotada foi de caráter qualitativo exploratório, pautada na pesquisa bibliográfica. Utilizou-se dos princípios do Estado do Conhecimento para realizar um levantamento bibliográfico na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, tendo sido delimitado como recorte temporal os anos de 2015 a 2019. Foram utilizados os descritores “desenvolvimento socioemocional”, “competência socioemocional” e “aprendizagem socioemocional”. O corpus de análise constituiu-se por 16 trabalhos, sendo 11 dissertações e 5 teses. Os resultados apontam que a grande maioria dos estudos tem como público as crianças e/ou educadores da educação infantil, carecem, portanto, investimentos em pesquisas voltadas aos anos finais e ensino médio. Além disso, as estratégias pedagógicas adotadas pelos professores para o favorecimento da aprendizagem socioemocional dos estudantes necessitam estar alinhadas com o currículo escolar para que se tornem efetivas. De forma geral, os estudos destacam a necessidade da formação socioemocional do próprio professor.
THE SUITABILITY OF BLACK SOLDIER FLY LARVAE COMBINED WITH A COMMERCIAL DIET ON GROWTH AND FEED PERFORMANCES OF HYBRID CATFISH
Authors: Sirirustananun Nuttarin , Saenthumpol Rattanakorn , Chantarat Thammasart
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to investigate the suitability of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) combined with a commercial diet (CMD) on growth and feed performances of hybrid catfish (Clarias gariepinus x C. macrocephalus). A completedly randomized design was used to consist of four treatments and three replications with 100:0 (control), 75:25, 50:50, and 25:75 of CMD and fresh BSFL blended feeding. Fish were reared in 2 m2 inland canvas cages for 60 days. The results indicated that fish were fed 100% CMD had better average weight gain (AWG), daily weight gain (DWG), specific growth rate (SGR), food conversion ratio (FCR), feed efficiency (FE), and survival rate (SR) than the other treatments, but there was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) when compared to 75:25 and 50:50 CMD:BSFL feeding. At the end of the experiment, the SR of fish was 81-91% and showed no significant difference (p>0.05) when compared between treatments. Therefore, hybrid catfish rearing can compensate CMD by fresh BSFL up to 50% of the feed amount per day. However, feeding with fresh BSFL can have side effects concerning steatosis
DEVELOPMENT OF A FOUNDRY TECHNOLOGY FOR OBTAINING A CAST PROTECTIVE MODULE BY LOST FOAM CASTING
Authors: Kaliuzhnyi P. , Shalevska I. , Shinsky O.
Published: December 2023

Purpose. Development of a foundry technology for obtaining a hollow casting of a protective module by lost foam casting.
Research methods. Computer simulation of foundry processes was used and practical experiments were carried out.
Results. Based on the analysis of metal pouring processes using computer simulation, the hydrodynamic conditions for pouring the protective module casting with different gating systems were established. With the upper distributed gating system, filling occurs from the center to the edges. At the same time, the hydrodynamic pressure of the metal causes uneven filling of the walls of the casting, as a result of which a large metal flow front is formed. With the lower one-sided downpour system, the area of the flow front decreases, and the filling of the mold occurs evenly, which eliminates the possibility of sand collapse. The results of simulation of metal solidification processes showed that there are no shrinkage holes in the casting of the module, but there is a slight microporosity due to the construction of the casting.
Scientific novelty. It was determined that the formation of a collapse defect in a casting with the upper gating system during lost foam casting occurs due to a large front of the metal flow, which leads to excessive release of gases and the formation of low vacuum conditions in the core parts of the mold, as a result of which the impact of the jet metal occurs local sand collapse.
Practical value. The gating system and the overall technological process of obtaining cast protective modules from steel by lost foam casting were optimized.

Teologia kapłaństwa w ujęciu integralnym. Rozwój nauki Kościoła
Authors: Szczurek Jan Daniel
Published: December 2023

The current study is devoted to the development of the Church’s teaching on priesthood in dynamically changing historical circumstances. Some of them, especially the Reformation, posed a great challenge to the Church. The way of approaching its learning at that time may be helpful in finding solutions to current problems. The aim of this study is to deepen the understanding of the development of the Church’s teaching, historically conditioned and today overlooked. The research uses historical analysis of texts created by popes, ecumenical councils and some church writers on the subject of priesthood. Jean Galot’s inspirations turned out to be valuable here, especially his appreciation of continuity in the development process while using new solutions resulting from the current needs of the Church. This allows him to preserve Tradition and give a convincing response to today’s aggressive ideologies. The integrity of the approach means that the development of the Church’s teaching on common priesthood and ministerial priesthood as participation in the one priesthood of Christ is presented.
Dynamic Capabilities and Strategic Control Systems: A Study at Itaipu Binacional
Authors: Panek Luciano , Tavares Ronaldo
Published: December 2023

Several studies have thus far linked diverse organizational outcomesas antecedents to dynamic capabilities, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship, environmental dynamism, resources, knowledge management, organizational learning, and strategic planning. This study aims to fully assess how the model of strategic levers of control and dynamic capabilities framework are related, considering all conceptual dimensions and the profile of ITAIPU Binacional employees. The data was collected through a survey, and the hypotheses evaluated with the assistance of structural equation modelling, using the partial least squares estimation method. The findings validated the central hypothesis, that the levers of control do positively influence the presence of the dynamic capabilities, in addition to one other complementary hypothesis— that the interactive system also positively influences the ability to sense opportunities. The strategic levers of control can now be treated by organizations as possible sources of dynamic capabilities.
Трансграничное налогообложение: «Золушка» международного права, которая мечтает стать королевой
Authors: Лифшиц Илья Михайлович
Published: December 2023

Международно-правовое регулирование налоговых отношений в течение примерно ста лет исчерпывалось соглашениями об избежании двойного налогообложения. В отличие, например, от торгового режима с ГАТТ и ВТО или от режима финансовой стабильности во главе с Международным валютным фондом, в налоговой сфере не существовало ни одного многостороннего договора, объединяющего значительное число юрисдикций. Налоговые меры государств могли оспариваться лишь в органах международного правосудия, обслуживающего другие режимы: торговый (ОРС ВТО), прав человека (ЕСПЧ), инвестиционный (инвестиционные трибуналы). Ситуация начала меняться в процессе разработки мер по преодолению финансового кризиса 2007–2009 годов: в 2013 году под эгидой ОЭСР на саммите «Группы 20» был разработан и одобрен план противодействия размыванию налоговой базы и выводу прибыли из-под налогообложения (англ.: Addressing Base Erosion and Profit Shifting), который стал своеобразным «зонтиком», накрывающим все международные инициативы в налоговой сфере. Учрежденная ОЭСР и «Группой 20» Инклюзивная группа, отличающаяся значительным представительством государств, стала значимой площадкой для выработки не только рекомендаций по изменению национального налогового законодательства, но для подготовки проектов международных соглашений. В короткие сроки была разработана и подписана сотней участников Многосторонняя конвенция по выполнению мер, относящихся к налоговым соглашениям, в целях противодействия размыванию налоговой базы и выводу прибыли из-под налогообложения. Оснащенная уникальным международно-правовым инструментарием конвенция внесла изменения в две тысячи двухсторонних соглашений об избежании двойного налогообложения. Присоединение более 140 юрисдикций к разработанной в конце 1980-х годов Конвенции о взаимной административной помощи по налоговым делам фактически обеспечило глобальный режим прозрачности финансовых операций для налогового контроля. И, наконец, в 2021 году Инклюзивная группа ОЭСР объявила о достижении согласия о проведении глобальной налоговой реформы, предусматривающей изменение принципа распределения прибыли многонациональных предприятий для целей налогообложения. Существовавший в течение столетия принцип обложения доходов по месту ведения бизнеса, в том числе через постоянное представительство, в связи с широким распространением цифровых услуг заменяется принципом обложения доходов по месту реализации товаров и услуг в так называемой рыночной юрисдикции независимо от фактического присутствия продавца. Предполагается заключение многосторонней конвенции, которая предусмотрит данные изменения, а также введение минимального корпоративного налога (налога на прибыль) в размере 15 %. Все эти новшества позволяют утверждать, что в рамках трансграничного налогообложения проводится серьезная реформа, а присутствие налоговой сферы в системе международного права становится все заметнее.

Modular automated sample processing of biological samples using ultrasonication and a workstation for high-throughput proteomics v2
Authors: not provided ronan.ocualain
Published: December 2023

Sample preparation for mass spectrometry analysis involves numerous liquid transfer steps. These include sample lysis, protein extraction, solubilisation, estimation, reduction and alkylation, normalisation, clean-up, enzymatic digestion, and desalting. Adapting these steps onto an automated workstation can increase efficiency, throughput, and reduce coefficients of variance (%CV) thereby providing reliable reproducible data for statistical comparisons. This protocol is part of a modular collection for the processing of biological samples for proteomics. The entry point is ultrasonication of biological samples (cells, tissues, laser captured FFPE sections) using a plate based LE220+ system from Covaris, followed by sample processing with a Biomek NxP workstation. Technical measurement of workflow percentage coefficients of variation (%CVs) using HeLa extract at the entry stage, to measurement of the ion intensities at the data processing stage with data collected by DDA using a QE-HF and processed using Progenesis-QI for proteomics has shown that one third of peptides have %CVs below 20%, and with 80% of peptides having %CVs below 30%. Using Progenesis QI for proteomics indicates that 98% of peptides are found in all 7 replicates processed. In addition, the whole procedure (80 samples) may be completed in a day, if shorter digestion times are utilised.

THE PREVALENCE OF EYE INVOLVEMENTS IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND THEIR CORRELATION WITH ANTI-CYCLIC CITRULLINATED PEPTIDE ANTIBODY IN SULAIMANI GOVERNORATE/IRAQ
Authors: Mustafa Rawand , Mirza Raouf , Rasool Hemn
Published: December 2023

BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis is a common autoinflammatory disease that affects the joints and causes several extra-articular problems, including ocular involvement, which typically manifests in the anterior ocular region. The anti-CCP has a sensitivity comparable to the rheumatoid factor and higher specificity for identifying the disease.
ObjectivesTo estimate the prevalence of eye involvements in Rheumatoid arthritis and their correlation to the anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody.
Patients and MethodsA cross-sectional study of 121 patients who satisfied the 2010 ACR/EULAR RA Classification Criteria (6/10 or more points) were between 18 and 60. After establishing a patient’s medical history and physical examination, blood samples were collected to test for anti-CCP antibodies, and an eye exam was conducted.
ResultsThere were significantly more females than males;104 (86%) were female, and 17 (14%) were males. The median age was 47(42−53.5) years. The median disease duration was 4(2−10) years. The mean disease activity was 3.86 ±1, and the median anti-cyclic citrullinated antibody titers were 29.18(16.75−133.35) U/ml. The overall eye complications typical of Rheumatoid arthritis were observed in 37 (30.6%) and 84 (69.4%) without eye involvement. Dry eyes were the most frequent eye complaint (29.8%). One instance with episcleritis (0.8%). One with filamentary keratitis (0.8%). Anterior uveitis was detected in two cases (1.7%). Eye involvement correlated with anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (P- value 0.004).
ConclusionEye manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis were a prominent part of extra-articular manifestation. The dry eye was the most apparent manifestation, and they correlated to the anti-CCP antibody.
México: Modernidad de 1968. Postmodernidad de 2018: Noche y Día en Tlatelolco
Authors: Gasperin Gasperin Rafael
Published: December 2023

México es un país que encarna en su cultura una concepción de la muerte con la que sabe convivir y burlarse de ella en forma muy peculiar. La mexicanidad siempre ha ligado sus víctimas al abismo mágico de lo incognoscible y así ha llevado a cuestas su Tlatelolco, su Comala, su San Cristobal y su Ayotzinapa, entre otros y otras. Reordenar por ello los acontecimientos del 68 mexicano resulta complicado, porque en México el silencio no se rompe, sino solo se mitifica en acontecimientos. Tlatelolco es el todo en un presente en donde la memoria muere día a día y donde el dos de octubre del 68 pervive en una lucha dialéctica contra el olvido.
Os Obstáculos Regulatórios decorrentes da concepção positivista de Direito Autoral ao acesso ao conhecimento
Authors: Sganzerla Rogerio Barros , Bottino Thiago
Published: December 2023

O acesso ao conhecimento no Brasil, foi construído dentro de um sistema positivista e buscava a proteção da obra "física". Dentro desse con-texto, o presente trabalha questiona até que ponto o atual modelo da Lei de Direitos Autorais o efetiva, bem como analisa possíveis obstáculos, suas causas e possíveis alternativas visando sua melhora. Por isso, pretende-se demonstrar que há um problema essencial e fundamental no tratamento da questão, qual seja, a reafirmação de um diálogo positivista, o que impede certos avanços para o tema. Assim, toda esta análise sobre a alternância de paradigmas do meio físico para o meio digital reflete o surgimento da sociedade de informação. Apesar do meio físico não ter sido abolido, a ascensão do meio digital demonstra que o poder alterou a moeda mundial. A detenção de informação passou a ser o ponto central para o poder e a regulação do acesso ao conhecimento. Com base nisso, as alternativas pro-postas neste trabalho visam questionar as regulações previstas na LDA que impedem o acesso ao conhecimento utilizando um sistema cuja justificati-va de proteção encontra diversas barreiras no mundo digital.
Dignidade humana em perspectiva política: Charles Taylor e a reabilitação das questões ontológicas no campo da política.
Authors: Morgadinho dos Santos Coelho Nuno Manuel , De Oliveira Rafael Tomaz
Published: December 2023

Este artigo apresenta e discute a concepção de dignidade humana, central na experiência jurídica brasileira contemporânea, e propõe sua releitura a partir de sua ligação essencial com o princípio da cidadania. O texto dialoga com a obra do filósofo canadense Charles Taylor, especialmente com a distinção que propõe entre dois planos de análise da teoria política (a análise ontológica e a análise normativa), que é útil para esclarecer os diferentes modelos de dignidade humana e para repensar o seu sentido enquanto fundamento da ordem jurídica. Repensado em perspectiva política, a dignidade não pode compreender-se como simples passividade, como se seu titular fosse um simples cliente da Administração ou do Judiciário, mas se reafirma como atividade, iniciativa e mobilização, capacidades sem as quais a pessoa humana não se compreende nem efetiva enquanto fundamento do Estado Democrático de Direito
A ADPF 347 e o "Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional": ativismo dialógico e democratização do controle de constitucionalidade no Brasil
Authors: Van der Broocke Bianca Schneider , Kozicki Katya
Published: December 2023

Este artigo objetiva traçar o caminho para que se definam as expectativas para o uso das audiências públicas pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal na superação do "Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional" (ECI), recentemente declarado na ADPF 347, em face da situação de violação massiva e generalizada de direitos fundamentais dos presos no sistema carcerário brasileiro. Utilizando-se o método lógico dedutivo na pesquisa e, valendo-se da análise jurisprudencial e bibliográfica, afere-se que o referido ECI se insere no quadro das novas conformações decorrentes do "novo constitucionalismo latino-americano", trazendo a lume o ativismo da Corte Constitucional da Colômbia com relação à concretização dos direitos econômicos, sociais e culturais, por meio da adoção de um novo mecanismo procedimental, que busca a solução dos denominados "litígios estruturais". Tomando como norte a atuação daquela Corte, verificou-se que o êxito desse tipo de litígio depende da abertura para a deliberação, de atores governamentais e não governamentais, incluindo o povo, nas audiências públicas de monitoramento do cumprimento da decisão judicial. A superação do ECI reconhecido no bojo da ADPF 347, portanto, pressupõe uma mudança de postura por parte dos Ministros do STF, em prol do diálogo inclusivo, nos moldes do constitucionalismo democrático proposto por Robert Post e Reva Siegel.
sujeito lírico errante no poema “A liberdade de seguir por esta via”, de Eucanaã Ferraz
Authors: Da Luz Daniel Rodrigues , Borsato Fabiane Renata
Published: December 2023

Eucanaã Ferraz é um poeta cuja obra perpassa por caminhos temáticos diversos no cenário da literatura brasileira contemporânea. A obra Escuta, lançada em 2015, apresenta fortes traços de seu repertório artístico. A partir do mapeamento das referências intertextuais da obra, o artigo analisa o poema intitulado “A liberdade de seguir por esta via”, para mostrar como a peça Hamlet de William Shakespeare é retomada pelo autor; verifica como os traços do gênero dramático aparecem no poema, e a relação do poema com a proposta estética da obra, tudo isso na perspectiva de um sujeito lírico em deslocamento que expressa reflexões sobre a paisagem que acompanha durante uma viagem. O trabalho apoia-se nos estudos de Anatol Rosenfeld sobre a teoria dos gêneros, bem como textos sobre a estética teatral e a crítica sobre a obra do autor.
Sublime e crise da eloquência
Authors: Santos Fabiano Rodrigo da Silva
Published: December 2023

Estas considerações buscam discutir o modo como a estética do sublime representa um ponto sensível para o desenvolvimento de uma poesia, cujas imagens, relacionadas à impossibilidade e à aspiração ao transcendente, repercutem espécie de crise da eloquência, expressa no poema “O vôo do Gênio”, de Castro Alves, e em diversos momentos da poesia de Cruz e Sousa, de que se destaca o poema “Tédio”. Considerando-se a relevância da retórica para a vida letrada do Brasil do século XIX, pretende-se demonstrar que uma linguagem estética, como o sublime, que revela as insuficiências do discurso eloquente, pode ser considerada indício de flagrante inovação artística. Assim, as manifestações do sublime entrevistas em Castro e Alves e Cruz e Sousa atestariam a conversão da retórica da elevação, familiar à poesia dos oitocentos, em uma moderna poética da grandeza negativa, consciente dos limites do discurso e imbuída do anseio por aquilo que o transcende.
passado no presente em O marechal de costas
Authors: Da Silva Mônica Gomes
Published: December 2023

O artigo analisa o romance O marechal de costas (2016) de José Luiz Passos de acordo com a discussão sobre o contemporâneo (AGAMBEN, 2009) e as mutações da literatura deste início de milênio (PERRONE-MOISÉS, 2016). Retomando o filão metaficcional, o romancista pernambucano se volta para os golpes políticos de 1891 e 2016, com ênfase, nos turbulentos protestos de 2013, narrados através da perspectiva de uma suposta bisneta do Marechal Floriano Peixoto. Desse modo, passado e presente se sobrepõem na narrativa a fim de construir um jogo reflexivo e crítico sobre o autoritarismo, os extremismos e a crise financeira e política no Brasil da segunda década deste século, cujas sombras se projetam no cenário trágico da primeira República, “feita à bala”. Para a análise proposta, consideram-se, ainda, as obras de Nicolau Sevcenko (2001), Octavio Paz (1984) e Karl Erik Schøllhammer (2011), entre outros. Por fim, constata-se que o romance de Passos se insere na contemporaneidade pelo compromisso ético com o momento presente, não ceder à relação positivista de causalidade histórica e busca superar os maniqueísmos que toldam o debate público atual.
Rastros de sangue do interior aos grandes centros urbanos
Authors: Sparemberger Alfeu , Coelho Lisiani
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo investiga a relação entre os romances Assim na terra como embaixo da terra (2017), de Ana Paula Maia, e Gog Magog (2017), de Patrícia Melo, pelo viés da manifestação da violência na sociedade brasileira contemporânea. Em adição, explora a relação das referidas obras com o contexto de surgimento e consolidação do gênero brutalista na literatura nacional, chegando assim à contribuição das duas autoras para a atualização desse cenário, sempre muito popular entre os leitores. Como suporte teórico da análise, são utilizadas as contribuições dos seguintes autores: Antonio Candido [1987] (1989), Alfredo Bosi (2015) e Karl Erik Schøllhamer (2009), em relação à catalogação e discussão do gênero; Byung-Chul Han [2011] (2017), Jaime Ginzburg (2017) e Slavoj Zizek [2008] (2014), na abordagem da questão da violência e, para um maior entendimento das relações de intertextualidade estabelecidas entre os textos literários, a obra A intertextualidade [2001] (2008), de Tiphaine Samoyault.
construção do ethos infantil em Transplante de menina, de Tatiana Belinky
Authors: Vargas Simone Luciano
Published: December 2023

Neste artigo propõe-se uma análise do ethos presente em Transplante de menina, de Tatiana Belinky. Para tanto, considerou-se a função-autor e o ethos pré-discursivo como antecipadores de uma imagem autoral, de modo que o leitor já tenha expectativas em relação ao ethos do autor antes mesmo da leitura do texto. Nesse sentido, a mídia foi uma ferramenta importante de mediação entre Belinky e o público leitor de suas obras. Para a análise, alguns eventos autobiográficos foram selecionados para a análise do ethos discursivo. Nesses se verificou na instância enunciativa a construção de um ethos adulto e infantil em relação a diferentes discursos.
SBM-SA: A Safety Beacon Message Separation Algorithm for Privacy Protection in Internet of Vehicles
Authors: Jiang Zheng , Chua Fang-Fang , Lim Amy Hui-Lan
Published: December 2023

A safety beacon message (SBM) plays a pivotal role in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), broadcasting crucial events and road conditions to nearby vehicles. Given the sensitive nature of the data, such as vehicle identity and location, ensuring privacy is paramount. The significance of this research lies in addressing the pressing need for comprehensive privacy protection in the IoV, especially as most existing schemes focus on safeguarding either vehicle identity or location data during exchanges with core servers. The primary objective of this article is to introduce an SBM separation algorithm, termed SBM-SA, designed to holistically protect both identity and location data. Utilising correlation analysis, the SBM-SA stands as an innovative anonymisation privacy algorithm. Through a simulated IoV environment, the accuracy and efficacy of an SBM-SA are meticulously analysed and juxtaposed against prevailing privacy protection schemes. The findings underscore the SBM-SA’s potential to significantly enhance privacy measures in the IoV. Implications of this research extend to shaping future privacy protection strategies of the SBM, emphasising the need for holistic and robust solutions in an increasingly interconnected vehicular landscape.

Os dados foram submetidos à estatística descritiva e revelaram a ampliação da participação de estudantes negros em todos os cursos e em patamares superiores à participação dessa população no estado e que o fim da Lei n. 12.711/2012 terá como impacto imediato a retração de matrículas de estudantes negros.
Wolność sumienia jako dobro osobiste. Uwagi na tle wybranych orzeczeń sądów polskich
Authors: Nowak-Dziwina Olga
Published: December 2023

Celem artykułu jest charakterystyka zasad ochrony wolności sumienia jako dobra osobistego, czyli niematerialnego dobra związanego z osobą ludzką, które chronione jest przez przepisy prawa cywilnego. Ochrona ta ma przeciwdziałać działaniom niezgodnym z wyznawanym przez daną osobę światopoglądem lub religią. Nie ma jednak charakteru bezwzględnego. Musi bowiem uwzględniać ograniczenia wynikające z innych uznawanych przez system prawny wartości. Nie każde działanie mogące wywoływać poczucie krzywdy może być traktowane jako naruszenie dóbr osobistych.

Authors: Скиба Іван
Published: December 2023

Анотація. У статті проведено дослідження специфіки соціокультурного та когнітивного вимірів сучасних глобальнихпроблем. Автор обстоює думку, що дослідження сучасних глобальних проблем передбачає їхній розгляд принаймні на двохрівнях: соціокультурному та когнітивному. Дослідження на соціокультурному рівні дозволяє шукати можливості вирішенняглобальних проблем через світоглядний аспект, шляхом дослідження проблематики існуючої стратегії розвитку,виявлення імпліцитних ціннісно-цільових підвалин, що скеровують наявний розвиток суспільства та перспективу їхньогоподальшого узгодження із загальнолюдськими (соціокультурними) цінностями. Дослідження на когнітивному рівністосується переважно специфіки внутрішньої проблематики безпосереднього процесу вирішення глобальних проблем, щовиникає, передусім, при переході від певних теоретичних положень до їхнього практичного втілення.

This study aimed to examine the impact of the 5Es (Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, and Evaluation) instructional strategy on secondary school chemistry students' academic achievement in Calabar, Nigeria. A quasi-experimental design was adopted for this study. The population comprised 2,350 Secondary School (SSII) chemistry students drawn from the Calabar Education Zone, Nigeria, from which a sample of 240 students was identified through proportionate stratified random and judgmental sampling techniques. The data was collected through an instrument called ‘’chemistry achievement test’’ (CAT). Two research hypotheses were stated to direct the study. Data obtained were analyzed using the analysis of Covariance and Multiple Classifications Analysis. Results indicated that learners tutored with 5Es instructional strategy enhanced academic achievement more than those tutored using the conventional method. However, students' gender did not make any impact on their achievement when tutored with 5Es instructional strategy and lecture method. It was concluded that the utilization of inquiring and critical thinking skills when students were tutored using the 5ES instructional strategy would be responsible for their high achievement.  It was recommended that the introduction of the 5Es instructional strategy should be implemented from the basic primary science to build the younger scientist minds into more creative, goal-oriented, problem-solving individuals.

Objective: Urolithiasis is responsible for the majority of urological emergencies. Although computed tomography (CT) scan can identify urinary obstruction caused by stones, there is a growing concern about exposure to radiation made by this method. Renal scintigraphy can provide valuable insights regarding the functional status of kidneys and can significantly reduce exposure to radiation.
The goal of present study was to assess renal function through renal scintigraphy in patients with acute renal colic and it explores the association between renal scintigraphy performance and ultrasound in terms of detecting hydronephrosis.
Methods: For this study, 20 patients with acute renal colic were chosen. Each patient underwent renal ultrasonography and subsequently received renal scintigraphy with Technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Tc-99m DTPA). Cohen's Kappa coefficient and Cramer's V correlation were employed to demonstrate the extent of agreement between ultrasound and renal scintigraphy. 
Results: 12 (60%) patients were male. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) values were correlated with Cockcroft-Gault equation and the Gates method (P=0.002, r=0.642). There was a good agreement and a statistically significant relationship between ultrasound and renal scintigraphy in terms of detecting obstructive uropathy in both kidneys.
Conclusion: To conclude, GFR values were correlated between Cockcroft-Gault equation and the Gates method in patients with acute renal colic. There was a good agreement and statistically significant relationship between ultrasound and obstructive renography results in both kidneys. However, we found no association between perfusion phase of renal scintigraphy and ultrasonography in terms of hydronephrosis detection.

Objective: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related mortality includes several risk variables that are country-specific in nature. The development of a scoring system is necessary regarding the appearance of novel virus variants. The objective of this research is to develop a prognostic score for COVID-19 patients in resource-constrained settings.
 
Methods: This study used a retrospective and prospective cohort design to identify variables that influence COVID-19 patients' in-hospital mortality. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was utilized to determine the laboratory variables cut-off. Cox regression analysis was undertaken to determine the exact variables influencing the survival of COVID-19 patients. A scoring system was created using the best model based on the Hosmer-Lemeshow test (calibration) and the area under the curve (AUC) (discrimination ability).
 
Results: Based on calibration and discrimination testing, model 2 (immune disorders, unconsciousness, cerebrovascular disease, onset, and oxygen saturation) was rated as the most advantageous model. Model 2 (without age adjustment) had a superior AUC than model 2A (with age). Cut-off was determined at 2, and calculated for onset ≥7 days (AUC=0.816, 95% CI: 0.742,0.890) and <7 days (AUC=0.850, 95% CI: 0.784,0.916). There was no difference in scoring system utilization for subjects recruited during Delta or Omicron waves (P=0.527).
 
Conclusion: The model (cut-off value ≥2) which incorporated age ≥65 years, immune disorders, decreased consciousness, increased respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation <95% is the best model in our study to predict COVID-19 patient mortality.

Kıyı devletleri, limanlarına veya açık deniz tesislerine uğrak yapan yabancı bayraklı gemilere ve personeline liman devleti denetimleri (PSC) gerçekleştirmektedir. Uluslararası denizcilik sözleşmeleri ve Gemilerden Kaynaklanan Kirliliğin Önlenmesine İlişkin Uluslararası Sözleşme (MARPOL) kapsamında denizlerin ve doğal çevrenin korunması amacıyla uygulanan bu denetimler sürdürülebilir, temiz denizler ve doğal çevre açısından son derece önemlidir. Ancak son yıllarda artan deniz ticareti faaliyetleri, denizel çevreye çeşitli nedenlerle büyük ve kalıcı zararlar vermektedir. Ticari faaliyetlerin yürütüldüğü gemi türleri arasında tanker gemileri çevresel açıdan en riskli gemi türü olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Fakat denizcilik literatüründe tanker gemilerinin çevresel uygunsuzluklarının değerlendirilmesi konusunda kapsamlı bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Ayrıca mevcut çalışmalar uygunsuzlukların içeriği konusunda detaylı bilgi barındırmamakta, doğrudan MARPOL ekleri düzeyinde incelemektedir. Bu motivasyon ile, bu çalışmada tanker gemilerine ait MARPOL uygunsuzlukları Paris MoU kapsamında belirlenerek, gemi özellikleri ile denetim sonuçları arasındaki istatistiksel ilişkiler ortaya konmuştur. Bu bağlamda Paris MoU veri tabanından son beş yılı kapsayan 1.051 PSC denetimi verisi elde edilmiş ve bu denetimlerde MARPOL kapsamında tespit edilen 1.264 adet uygunsuzluk incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, Tanker gemilerinde sırasıyla en sık olarak; Pis su arıtma ekipmanı (Ek IV - 14402), Çöp yönetim planı (Ek V - 14503) ve Yağ/yakıt filtreleme ekipmanı (Ek I - 14104) ile ilgili MARPOL uygunsuzlukları tespit edildiği ortaya koyulmuştur. Ayrıca, istatistiksel olarak gemi yaşı ve denetim türü ile tespit edilen uygunsuzluklar arasındaki anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu belirlenmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarının mevcut tanker filosunun MARPOL Sözleşmesine uyumluluğunun iyileştirilmesi konusunda gemi işletmecilerine, acentelere ve gemi personeline, denetimlerdeki etkinliğin artırılması konusunda ise bayrak ve liman devleti denetim rejimlerine fayda sağlaması hedeflenmektedir.
