Published: June 2022

Rulmanlar, yük taşıma kapasiteleri nedeniyle endüstride pek çok alanda sıklıkla kullanılan makine elemanları olduklarından, aşırı yükleme durumlarında adhezyon, abrazyon ve sürünme gibi aşınma türlerine ya da kırılmalara maruz kalabilirler. Bu nedenle, rulmanlarda durum izlemesi yapılması ve arızaların teşhis edilmesi, sürdürülebilirlik, yüksek performans ve güvenlik açılarından önemli bir husustur. Arıza türlerinin ayırt edilmesinde belirleyici özniteliklerin seçilmesi, farklı çalışma koşullarında bir takım öznitelikler de değişebildiğinden zor bir süreçtir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada sağlıklı rulmanların (SR) ve rulman arızalarının (dış bilezik arızası-AR1, iç bilezik arızası-AR2, yuvarlanma arızası-AR3) tespiti için özniteliklerin içsel dinamiklerle belirlendiği derin öğrenme yöntemi olan olan evrişimli sinir ağları (ESA) kullanılmıştır. Birbirinden farklı mimarilere sahip ESA yaklaşımlarını eğitmek için Kısa Zamanlı Fourier Dönüşümü uygulanan titreşim sinyallerinin spektrogramları elde edilmiştir. Spektogram verileri ile eğitilen GoogleNet, ResNet-50, EfficientNet-B0 ve AlexNet yaklaşımlarının sonuçları karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiştir. Karmaşık mimariye sahip ESA’ların (GoogleNet, ResNet-50, EfficientNet-B0 ) arızaları %100 doğrulukla, AlexNet’in ise %90 doğrulukla tespit ettiği görülmüştür, ancak ağ yapısı değiştikçe ve katman saysı arttıkça eğitim süresinin de uzadığı görülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçların literatürdeki çalışmaların sonuçlarından üstün olduğu gözlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, farklı yaklaşımlara sahip evrişimli sinir ağları yönteminin en temel rulman arıza tespitinde yüksek sınıflandırma doğruluğu sağladığı ve arıza teşhisi için umut vadeden bir yöntem olduğu görülmektedir.

Published: June 2022

Günümüzde elektrik enerjisine olan talep, sosyal yaşam, endüstriyel uygulamalar ve sanayileşmeye bağlı olarak gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Enerji talebinin artmasıyla birlikte yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının (güneş, rüzgar, hidrojen vs.) kullanımının önemi de artmıştır. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının bir güç sistemine dahil edilmesinden sonra ortaya çıkması muhtemel teknik problemlerin incelenmesi gereklidir. Bu teknik problemler genel olarak “Güç Kalitesi” adı ile birlikte değerlendirilebilir. Güç kalitesi; harmonikler, gerilim dalgalanması, güç katsayısı ve fliker gibi birçok parametreyi içinde barındırmaktadır. Bir güneş enerji santralinin endüstriyel firmalarda güç sistemine dahil edilmesinde sonra besleme gerilimi, harmonik ve güç katsayısı değerlerinde değişim meydana gelebilir. Bu yüzden şebekeden çekilen elektrik enerjisinin aktif, reaktif ve harmonik değerlerinin sürekli takip edilmesi gerekmektedir. Reaktif/aktif enerji oranları sınır değerleri Enerji Piyasası Değerlendirme Kurumunun belirlediği sınırlar içerisinde olması gerekmektedir. Reaktif yüklerin aktif yüklere oranlandığında güç faktörünün de değişimi söz konusudur. Bu çalışmada; ölçümü yapılan güneş enerji santrali, reaktif/aktif oranı, harmonik ve gerilim sapması yönünden değerlendirilmiştir. Firmalarda GES bağlandıktan sonra yapılan analizler sonucunda yüklerin sistem üzerinde oluşturabileceği sorunlar tespit edilip çözüm önerisi sunulmuştur.

Published: June 2022

Günümüzde insan ölümlerinin önemli bir kısmı kalp hastalıkları kaynaklıdır. Bu tür hastalıklar erken teşhis ile tedavi edildiğinde belirtilen ölüm oranları ciddi bir şekilde azalabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Cleveland ve Z-Alizadehsani veri kümeleri için yapay zeka teknikleriyle kalp hastalığı teşhisi uygulamaları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Cleveland veri kümesi için yaş, cinsiyet, göğüs ağrı türü, kan basıncı, kolesterol, kan şekeri, elektrokardiyografi sonucu, en yüksek kalp atış hızı, indüklenen göğüs ağrısı, eski zirve, eğim, majör damar sayısı, tal isimleriyle ifade edilen 13 özellik yapay zeka tabanlı erken teşhis sistemine girdi özellikler olarak verilmiştir. Z-Alizadehsani veri kümesi için ise veritabanında bulunan 55 özelliğin tamamı aynı yapay zeka sistemine girdi özellik olarak kullanılmıştır. Önerilen yapay zeka sisteminde Naive-Bayes, Lineer Regresyon, Polinomiyal Regresyon, Destek Vektör Makinası (DVM) gibi basit sınıflandırıcıların yanı sıra bir topluluk sınıflandırma yaklaşımı olan Rassal Orman ve Yapay Sinir Ağı tabanlı Çok Katmanlı Algılayıcı (ÇKA) kullanılmıştır. Yapılan deneylerde 10 K katlama ve Bekletme (20 çalıştırma) çapraz doğrulama yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Çoklu Lineer Regresyon yaklaşımı bekletme yöntemiyle Cleveland veri kümesi için 0.90’a kadar doğruluk değeri üretirken Z-Alizadehsani veri kümesi için 0.91’e kadar doğruluk değeri üretmiştir. K katlama çapraz doğrulama yöntemi uygulandığında ise bu değerler iki veri kümesi için de 0.93’e kadar doğruluk oranına ulaşmıştır. DVM yöntemi Cleveland veri kümesi için K katlama yöntemiyle 0.97 doğruluk oranıyla en yüksek sonucu vermiştir. Genel olarak K katlama yönteminin Bekletme yöntemine göre daha başarılı sonuçlar ürettiği gözlemlenmiştir. Deneylerin detaylı sonuçları ve literatürde yapılan çalışmlarla karşılaştırmalı sonuçları çizelgelerde verilmiştir.

Long noncoding RNA TFAP2A AS1 exerts promotive effects in non small cell lung cancer progression via controlling the microRNA 548a 3p/CDK4 axis
Authors: Zhang Yang , Ma Lixia , Zhang Tingting , Li Peidong , Xu Jiabin , Wang Zhuo
Published: June 2022

In this study, we mainly focus on probing expression profile and detailed functions of long non coding RNA TFAP2A antisense RNA 1 (TFAP2A AS1) in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Moreover, the mechanisms played by TFAP2A AS1 were unraveled comprehensively. Herein, a notable overexpressed TFAP2A AS1 in NSCLC was observed by TCGA and our own cohort. An increased TFAP2A AS1 level displayed a negative correlation with the overall survival of patients with NSCLC. Loss of function approaches illustrated that the absence of TFAP2A AS1 weakened NSCLC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion in vitro. Also, interference of TFAP2A AS1 caused in vivo tumor growth suppression. Mechanistically, TFAP2A AS1 could negative regulate microRNA 584 3p (miR 584 3p) as a competitive endogenous RNA. Furthermore, cyclin dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), a direct target of miR 584 3p, was positively controlled by TFAP2A AS1 in a miR 5184 3p dependent manner. Rescue function experiments corroborated that the anticancer activities of TFAP2A AS1 deficient on the oncogenicity of NSCLC cells were reversed by downregulating miR 584 3p or overexpressing CDK4. To sum up, TFAP2A AS1 exhibits cancer promoting roles in NSCLC through the adjustment of miR 584 3p/CDK4 axis.
INSTITUTE OF INTEGRITY: THEORETICAL AND LEGAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Solyanik V. V. , Nikonenko E. I.
Published: June 2022

The article examines the institution of good faith as a basic legal category for general legal and industrial sciences. The authors point out that the relevance of the work is determined by the fact that the doctrine of Russian civil law is now paying more and more attention to fundamental legal concepts, categories and con-structions that make up the fundamental theoretical and methodological postulates of both general legal and industrial sciences. One of these categories, classically included in the structure of private law, is the concept of conscientiousness.
The authors conduct a theoretical and legal analysis of the institution of integrity, highlighting different points of view, sometimes even opposite ones. At the same time, the authors make an attempt to identify the content of the criteria of good faith due to the fact that currently the legislation does not establish them.
Also, in the process of researching the institution of good faith, the authors raise the question of the rela-tionship between the categories of «bad faith» and «abuse of law».
In conclusion, the authors conclude that conscientiousness should be considered as a combination of ob-jective and subjective elements, which is due to the need to take into account when resolving a particular case as an internal attitude of a person to his actions from the point of view of his awareness of the illegality or legitimacy of his actions, the desire to cause damage to third parties. , or an excuseful error in their rightness.
JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS UNDER FRENCH LAW
Authors: Derbisheva O. A.
Published: June 2022

The article analyzes the judicial system of France and its individual elements with an emphasis on the changes that have occurred in the judicial system of the country, namely, the introduction of amendments to the civil procedure code. The basic principles of judicial proceedings are also considered. The theoretical foundations and regulatory framework related to this issue have been studied. France has an extremely complex system of courts of general justice in the field of civil justice, differentiated by subjects of jurisdiction and other grounds and functioning in a certain hierarchy. The judicial system has two levels. The first level includes courts that consider the case for the first time; the second level includes bodies that consider the case on the merits for the second time. The Supreme Court and the Supreme Administrative Court are neither the third level of the judicial system in France, nor the third instance in a case. The guidelines for the reform of the French judicial system contain recommendations aimed at further improving legislation in this area. The definition of justice is one of the most important forms of law enforcement activity in a democratic state. Initially presented as the prerogative of the supreme power, justice has gone through a long period of training and development to become the most effective tool for protecting human rights and freedoms today. In the course of its existence, justice has often been captured by political interference, and has also become hostage to economic and social crises. As a result, at certain points in history, the main activity of the judiciary turned into a justification of the «right of the strong», which inevitably led to unfair and biased proceedings. However, despite the complexity and ambiguity of the historical path chosen by the judiciary, there is a significant trend in it, which is fully manifested in modern democracies. We are talking about the equal distribution of justice to the entire population of citizens, which is associated with the gradual establishment of the principle of equality of all before the law. France is one of the countries where this process is distinguished by a certain uniqueness.
ORGANIZATION OF PILOTAGE IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION
Authors: Kirillova T. K. , Мakuhin А. А.
Published: June 2022

The fundamental legislative act regulating pilotage in the Great Lakes was the law «The Law on Pilotage on the Great Lakes of 1960» of June 30. The most important role in the implementation of this law is assigned to the Secretary (Minister of Commerce), since the United States shares the navigable waters of the Great Lakes with Canada, as well as pilotage in them. Hence, there was a need to regulate the relations between the two countries in the course of emerging legal relations, especially since, as we see in the content of the 1960 law, this step was already taken by the United States, and the development of the St. Lawrence way was carried out by the joint efforts of these two powers.
The Canadian rules of pilotage in the Great Lakes region, in force today, are valid until 2021-08-10 and were last changed on 01.07.2011, and the main organization in Canada engaged in the wiring of vessels in this region is the Great Lakes Pilotage Authority, which, like other pilotage authorities, operates on the basis of the Pilotage Act of 1985.

Authors: Klimenko E. P.
Published: June 2022

The article indicates that the theoretical and legal basis for the regulation of the activities of labor artels, based on traditional socio-economic relations, was laid down by regulatory legal acts of the imperial period: «Charter of the capital city of St. Perebrug» dated September 12, 1798, «The highest approved charter of workshops» of November 12, 1799, «The Highest Approved Regulations on Labor Artels» of June 1, 1902 During the studied period of Soviet history, especially during the period of the new economic policy, significant attention was paid to the regulation of the activities of labor artels, through the publication of both special (in the form of decrees and resolutions) and general (Labor Code, Civil Code and Freight One) legislation, developing in the direction of standard establishing the norms of their charters, relationships with contractors, ensuring the labor rights of artel workers, but also with certain restrictions in their activities. An important achievement of this period was the recognition of the rights of a legal entity for the artels, which, however, in the early 1930s, became unacceptable in the conditions of collectivization, industrialization and nationalization of the main productive and labor forces in the USSR.
CRIMINAL LEGAL DEFINITION OF THE CATEGORY OF DISTRIBUTION OF THE SUBJECT OF CRIME
Authors: Kashkarov A. A. , Kashkarov A. A.
Published: June 2022

The publication examines the mechanisms of the relationship between the distribution of the subject of crime, as a sign that reveals the way of committing a crime with other elements of the crime, the object of the crime, the subject of the crime and the subjective side of the crime. Based on the analysis of the doctrinal provisions of the domestic theory of criminal law, the norms of the current criminal legislation and current Resolutions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in the field of counterfeiting, the circulation of narcotic drugs, their analogues and precursors, the circulation of weapons and document circulation, it has been proved that sale is possible only in subject compositions crimes. Sales can represent both paid and free activities. The sale of the subject of crime is always an active action, the activity can be differentiated depending on the degree of communication between the distributor of the subject of crime and the consumer. A generalizing conclusion is made regarding the content of the category “sale of the subject of crime”. Distribution as a criminal-legal category that characterizes the objective side of the crime also fills with content the subjective side of the crime, namely the special purpose — the sale of the subject of the crime.

MEMOS AS A SOURCE OF LAW IN THE COMMERCIAL PORTS OF THE USSR OF THE 1930 S.
Authors: Klimenko E. P.
Published: June 2022

The memos considered in the article in the 1930s, in the form of a special document, became possible with the onset of a certain stabilization in the evolution of the regulation of the activities of loaders in commercial ports During this period, «memo» is a special kind of information and rationing, in some cases created taking into account and relying on existing, mainly local, regulatory legal acts. The purpose of such a document is to directly guide its user for use in appropriate conditions. Memos, as you know, are informational, recommendatory, i.e. such that they are not responsible for the violation of the provisions contained in them, or binding. The latter, usually, have such features as locality-action on a certain territory, or in relation to a group of persons, but their most important feature is normative fixedness, i.e. they are fixed in the form of a document adopted and put into effect often in an arbitrary order; the presence of a selection of norms included in the memo from other normative acts, selected and compiled for investing the production of any type of work, or managing them. One of the goals of the development and introduction of memos is to give a narrowly defined circle of participants in specific relationships a certain set of the most necessary rules and calculations, always «at hand», a hint for the order of actions. In the conditions of the complicated technology of loading and unloading operations, a high degree of injury risk, low literacy of the bulk of movers, such acts should be recognized as very useful.

Authors: Chunosov M. A.
Published: June 2022

The article considers the features of professional readiness of employees of internal affairs bodies to work in extreme situations. It is noted that employees of the internal affairs bodies perform official tasks in extreme situations, so this activity is accompanied by high emotional tension, the need to overcome negative emotional states. The motivational, operational and psycho-emotional components of professional readiness for activity are shown. Extreme situations in the activities of internal affairs bodies are considered. It is determined that the perception of the situation as extreme is subjective. The subjectivity of perception is based on the presence of subjective experience, as well as the formation of specific knowledge and skills. The theoretical, practical and psychological components of professional readiness for activity are characterized. It is concluded that the presence of theoretical, practical and psychological components of professional readiness will optimize the process of professional training for activities in extreme situations, and, thus, will create conditions for the successful performance of operational and service tasks.

Authors: Rasskazov L. P. , Uporov I. V. , Rasskazov V. L.
Published: June 2022

The article reveals the theoretical aspects and political and legal features of the development of the institute of economic calculation in the Soviet economy at the final stage of the period of «stagnation» (the second half of the 1970s-the beginning of the 1980s). It is noted that «Kosygin reforms» were carried out in the USSR for a decade and a half to this milestone, where increased attention was paid to household calculation. However, within the framework of a planned socialist economy, this principle did not give the expected effect, and the country’s leadership did not dare to make drastic changes (the introduction of elements of market relations). As a result, the period of» stagnation «was replaced by a relatively short» perestroika», the collapse of the economy and the collapse of the USSR.
LEGAL LIMITS OF THE LEGAL REGIME OF A COUNTER-TERRORIST OPERATION: CONCEPTS AND TYPES
Authors: Lutsenko V.V.
Published: June 2022

The relevance of considering the topic of this article is due to the need not only for legal science, but also for legal enforcement technology, which closely interacts with the emerging problems of a terrorist nature. In modern conditions of constantly threatening terrorist threat, it is necessary to use extraordinary forms of management, a special legal regime and legal means for the prompt elimination or minimization of the consequences of manifestations of terrorism. As a result, there is a need for scientific development of emergency legal regulation of the counter-terrorist operation regime as a special type of legal regulation. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the extraordinary legal relations developing during the introduction of the counter-terrorist operation regime need not only legal protection, but also control by the state. The need to determine the limits of the legal regime of a counter-terrorist operation allows one to comply with the measures provided for by the international obligations of the Russian Federation. Compliance with these limits will allow for more reliable protection and protection of human rights and should not entail any discrimination of the population.
The work examines the legal limits of the legal regime of the counter-terrorist operation, its concepts and types.

Published: June 2022

The article studies the institution of conscientious acquisition, the conditions for recognizing the person in the conscientious acquirer, enshrined in civil law and the positions of the highest courts. Analyzing the concept of a bona fide acquirer, the authors highlighted signs of good faith, established the main conditions necessary to effectively protect violated law. The authors analyzed the peculiarities of consideration by the courts of affairs on the recognition of a person with a conscientious acquirer and circumstances affecting the adoption by the courts of decisions about meeting the claims of applicants or refusal to satisfy them. Based on the analysis of the current civil legislation and judicial practice, a number of conditions are formulated under which the acquirer will be recognized as conscientious, which will prevent the emergence of such violations, as well as expand the possibilities of restoring violated rights.

Published: June 2022

During the covid-19, social distancing is required to prevent the spread of the covid-19 virus. Therefore, in the world of education, the government applies distance education or what is often referred to as online learning. There are obstacles in online learning, such as an indication of student in discipline, which is caused by boredom with online learning, lazy to study, lack of understanding of the material being taught. This study aims to determine the impact of online learning on Buddhist students, and to determine the discipline of Buddhist students when participating in online learning. The method in this study uses a qualitative approach, namely a case study conducted at SMAN 1 Donorojo. The resultsand conclusions in this study indicate that there are positive and negative impacts arising from online learning. The positive impact is that students can recognize and operate technology well. The negative impact is that students are not able to learn independently because they do not understand if the material is not explained in detail, besides that students feel bored because of the lack of interaction with friends and teachers. Through online learning, it can be concluded that online learning makes students less disciplined, this is because students experience learning burnout due to boredom about monotonous material and the pressure from many tasks given by the teacher who are targeted to be completed on the same day. Therefore, students are lazy and bored with studying, so students are late in submitting assignments.
Event-Based Clustering with Energy Data
Authors: Greer Kieran , Bi Yaxin
Published: June 2022

This paper describes a stochastic clustering architecture that can be used for making predictions over energy data. The machine learning approach uses some new algorithms of hyper and frequency grids. The design is discrete, localised optimisations based on similarity, followed by a global aggregating layer. The global layer is entropy-based, allowing for a comparison with the recent distributed random neural network designs, for example. The topic relates to the IDEAS Smart Home Energy Project, where a client-side Artificial Intelligence component can predict energy consumption for appliances. The proposed data model is essentially a look-up table of the key energy bands that each appliance would use. Each band represents a level of consumption by the appliance, or the amount used in a time unit and the table can replace more complicated methods, usually constructed from probability theory, for example. Results show that the table can accurately disaggregate a single source to a set of appliances, because each appliance has quite a unique energy footprint. As part of predicting energy consumption, the model could possibly reduce costs by 50%, and more than that if proposed appliance schedules are also included. A second case study considers wind power patterns, where the grid optimises over the dataset columns in a self-similar way to the rows, allowing for some level of feature analysis.

Pitch chroma information is processed in addition to pitch height information with more than two pitch-range categories
Authors: Wagner Bernhard , Sturdy Christopher B. , Weisman Ronald G. , Hoeschele Marisa
Published: June 2022

Octave equivalence describes the perception that notes separated by a doubling in frequency sound similar. While the octave is used cross-culturally as a basis of pitch perception, experimental demonstration of the phenomenon has proved to be difficult. In past work, members of our group developed a three-range generalization paradigm that reliably demonstrated octave equivalence. In this study we replicate and expand on this previous work trying to answer three questions that help us understand the origins and potential cross-cultural significance of octave equivalence: (1) whether training with three ranges is strictly necessary or whether an easier-to-learn two-range task would be sufficient, (2) whether the task could demonstrate octave equivalence beyond neighbouring octaves, and (3) whether language skills and musical education impact the use of octave equivalence in this task. We conducted a large-sample study using variations of the original paradigm to answer these questions. Results found here suggest that the three-range discrimination task is indeed vital to demonstrating octave equivalence. In a two-range task, pitch height appears to be dominant over octave equivalence. Octave equivalence has an effect only when pitch height alone is not sufficient. Results also suggest that effects of octave equivalence are strongest between neighbouring octaves, and that tonal language and musical training have a positive effect on learning of discriminations but not on perception of octave equivalence during testing. We discuss these results considering their relevance to future research and to ongoing debates about the basis of octave equivalence perception.
Experiencing statistical information improves children’s and adults’ inferences
Authors: Schulze Christin , Hertwig Ralph
Published: June 2022

How good are people’s statistical intuitions? Recent research has highlighted that sequential experience of statistical information improves adults’ statistical intuitions relative to situations where this information is described. Yet little is known about whether this is also the case for children’s statistical intuitions. In a study with 100 children (8–11 years old) and 100 adults (19–35 years old), we found that sequentially experiencing statistical information improved both adults’ and children’s inferences in two paradigmatic reasoning problems: conjunction and Bayesian reasoning problems. Moreover, adults’ statistical competencies when they learned statistical information through description were surpassed by children’s inferences when they learned through experience. We conclude that experience of statistical information plays a key role in shaping children’s reasoning under uncertainty—a conclusion that has important implications for education policy.
Social signalling as a framework for second-person neuroscience
Authors: Cañigueral Roser , Krishnan-Barman Sujatha , Hamilton Antonia F. de C.
Published: June 2022

Despite the recent increase in second-person neuroscience research, it is still hard to understand which neurocognitive mechanisms underlie real-time social behaviours. Here, we propose that social signalling can help us understand social interactions both at the single- and two-brain level in terms of social signal exchanges between senders and receivers. First, we show how subtle manipulations of being watched provide an important tool to dissect meaningful social signals. We then focus on how social signalling can help us build testable hypotheses for second-person neuroscience with the example of imitation and gaze behaviour. Finally, we suggest that linking neural activity to specific social signals will be key to fully understand the neurocognitive systems engaged during face-to-face interactions.
Does that sound right? A novel method of evaluating models of reading aloud
Authors: Gubian Michele , Blything Ryan , Davis Colin J. , Bowers Jeffrey S.
Published: June 2022

Nonword pronunciation is a critical challenge for models of reading aloud but little attention has been given to identifying the best method for assessing model predictions. The most typical approach involves comparing the model’s pronunciations of nonwords to pronunciations of the same nonwords by human participants and deeming the model’s output correct if it matches with any transcription of the human pronunciations. The present paper introduces a new ratings-based method, in which participants are shown printed nonwords and asked to rate the plausibility of the provided pronunciations, generated here by a speech synthesiser. We demonstrate this method with reference to a previously published database of 915 disyllabic nonwords (Mousikou et al., 2017). We evaluated two well-known psychological models, RC00 and CDP++, as well as an additional grapheme-to-phoneme algorithm known as Sequitur, and compared our model assessment with the corpus-based method adopted by Mousikou et al. We find that the ratings method: a) is much easier to implement than a corpus-based method, b) has a high hit rate and low false-alarm rate in assessing nonword reading accuracy, and c) provided a similar outcome as the corpus-based method in its assessment of RC00 and CDP++. However, the two methods differed in their evaluation of Sequitur, which performed much better under the ratings method. Indeed, our evaluation of Sequitur revealed that the corpus-based method introduced a number of false positives and more often, false negatives. Implications of these findings are discussed.
Deep-SAGA: a deep-learning-based system for automatic gaze annotation from eye-tracking data
Authors: Deane Oliver , Toth Eszter , Yeo Sang-Hoon
Published: June 2022

With continued advancements in portable eye-tracker technology liberating experimenters from the restraints of artificial laboratory designs, research can now collect gaze data from real-world, natural navigation. However, the field lacks a robust method for achieving this, as past approaches relied upon the time-consuming manual annotation of eye-tracking data, while previous attempts at automation lack the necessary versatility for in-the-wild navigation trials consisting of complex and dynamic scenes. Here, we propose a system capable of informing researchers of where and what a user’s gaze is focused upon at any one time. The system achieves this by first running footage recorded on a head-mounted camera through a deep-learning-based object detection algorithm called Masked Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Mask R-CNN). The algorithm’s output is combined with frame-by-frame gaze coordinates measured by an eye-tracking device synchronized with the head-mounted camera to detect and annotate, without any manual intervention, what a user looked at for each frame of the provided footage. The effectiveness of the presented methodology was legitimized by a comparison between the system output and that of manual coders. High levels of agreement between the two validated the system as a preferable data collection technique as it was capable of processing data at a significantly faster rate than its human counterpart. Support for the system’s practicality was then further demonstrated via a case study exploring the mediatory effects of gaze behaviors on an environment-driven attentional bias.
Meta-Organizations in the Making. A Multiple Case Study of Multi-Stakeholder Meta-Organizations for Social Innovation

There is a lack of research on the meta-organization creation process despite it being central to understanding this form of organization (Ahrne & Brunsson, 2005, 2008; Valente & Oliver, 2018). In this paper, we investigate the process that underlies the creation of Multi-Stakeholder Meta-Organizations (MSMOs). We explore MSMOs ‘in the making’ through a multiple case study of four meta-organizations with a social innovation purpose. We identify a three-stage MSMO creation process that takes place through the simultaneous occurrence of three major elements: the logic of action of MSMO members, MSMOs’ evolving boundaries, and their organizing practices. We show that the MSMO creation process is based on the coordination, negotiation, and actualization of the practices of meta-organization members rather than on structural conditions. In addition, the MSMO creation process begins with the involvement of a leading organization, which decides to create an informal group of member organizations before the effective creation of a formal organization.

Published: June 2022

In this introduction, we reemphasize some key parts of meta-organization theory and their implications for understanding meta-organizations and meta-organizing processes. We clarify what meta-organizations are and what they are not and then analyze their key purposes and activities. We then present the papers of the special issue and discuss venues for future research. Although many key contributions have been made to meta-organization theory and research, there are many more things to investigate before we know as much about meta-organizations as we know about individual-based organizations.

This research aims to study the physical and electrochemical properties of the activated carbon derived from rubberwood sawdust as electrode material for supercapacitors. Rubberwood sawdust, waste from the wood processing industry, was used as the precursor for synthesizing activated carbon using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an activation agent. The carbonization was carried out at 400 °C under the nitrogen atmosphere. In this experiment, the rubberwood sawdust chars were activated by impregnating KOH solution using the impregnation ratios 1:1 and 1:3 (Char: KOH). After that, the samples were activated at 700, 800, and 900 °C, respectively. The adsorption isotherm, surface area, total pore volume, pore size distribution, and structure porosity were investigated. The XRD was used to examine the structural characteristics. The morphology of the sample was characterized by FESEM. The surface functional group of the samples was determined by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The three-electrode testing consists of the activated carbon samples coated on aluminum foil (Working electrode), Ag/AgCl (Reference electrode), and platinum wire (counter electrode) in 1 molar of KOH. According to the research, the activated carbon at an impregnation ratio of 1:3 with an activation temperature of 900 °C presented the highest surface area, total pore volume, and average pore diameter as 1,574.39 m2/g, 0.6906 cm3/g, and 1.89 nm, respectively. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) result showed a high specific capacitance value of 54.08 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s in the case of the impregnation ratio of 1:3 with an activation temperature of 900 °C. Thus, the activated carbon derived from rubberwood sawdust waste as an electrode material can be a promising candidate for supercapacitors due to its outstanding electrochemical properties.

Objective

Rheumatologists play a pivotal role in the management of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Due to time constraints during clinic visits, the skin may not receive the attention needed for optimal patient outcome. Therefore, the aim of this study was to select a set of core questions that can help rheumatologists in daily rheumatology clinical practice to identify patients with PsA with a high skin burden.

Methods

Baseline data from patients included in the Dutch South West Psoriatic Arthritis (DEPAR) cohort were used. Questions were derived from the Skindex-17 and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaires. Underlying clusters of questions were identified with an exploratory principal component analysis (PCA) with varimax rotation, after which a 2-parameter logistic model was fitted per cluster. Questions were selected based on their discrimination and difficulty. Subsequently, 2 flowcharts were made with categories of skin burden severity. Clinical considerations were specified per category.

Results

In total, 413 patients were included. The PCA showed 2 underlying clusters: a psychosocial domain and a domain assessing physical symptoms. We selected these 2 domains. The psychosocial domain contains 3 questions and specifies 4 categories of skin burden severity. The physical symptoms domain contains 2 questions and categorizes patients in 1 out of 3 categories.

Conclusion

We have selected a set with a maximum of 5 questions that rheumatologists can easily implement in their consultation to assess skin burden in patients with PsA. This practical guide makes the assessment of skin burden more accessible to rheumatologists and can aid in clinical decision making.

Objective

People with systemic sclerosis (SSc) often report substantial burden from appearance changes. We aimed to estimate the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) for burden from appearance changes in people with SSc.

Methods

We conducted a secondary analysis of the SCISCIF II study, a cross-sectional survey of 113 patients with SSc from France enrolled in the Scleroderma Patient-centered Intervention Network Cohort. Burden from appearance changes was assessed with a self-administered numeric rating scale (0, no burden to 10, maximal burden). Acceptability of the symptom state was assessed with a specific anchoring question. Participants who answered yes were in the group of patients who considered their symptom state as acceptable. The PASS for the burden from appearance changes was estimated with the 75th percentile method.

Results

Assessments of burden from appearance changes and answers to the anchoring question were available in 82/113 (73%) participants from the SCISCIF II study. Median age was 55 (IQR 24) years, mean disease duration 9.6 (SD 6.5) years and 32/80 (40%) participants had diffuse cutaneous SSc. The PASS estimate for the burden from appearance changes was 4.8 (95% CI 1.0-7.0) of 10 points.

Conclusion

Our study provides a PASS estimate for burden from appearance changes. Our estimate could serve as a binary response criterion to assess the efficacy of treatments targeting burden from appearance changes.
Apremilast Use in Oligoarticular Psoriatic Arthritis
Authors: Torrente-Segarra Vicenç , Bonet Maria
Published: June 2022

We read with interest the article published in The Journal of Rheumatology by Ogdie et al1 in which apremilast monotherapy showed more benefit in a specific subset of the psoriatic arthritis (PsA) population (oligoarticular pattern), compared to methotrexate (MTX) and biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). The authors collected baseline and follow-up data (6-month period) regarding the clinical response to either MTX, apremilast, or bDMARD, all in monotherapy.
L’atmosphère, le parfum et la politique de l’utopie : Lucien, Nietzsche, et Illich
Authors: Babich Babette , Albert Nicole G.
Published: June 2022

L’utopie est nominalement un nulle part qui est aussi, comme nous le dit Thomas More, un “bon” endroit. Bien qu’il existe des notions concurrentes, la description grecque occupe une place importante dans la plupart des récits d’utopie. Les détails de cet idéal sont si précis que la littérature utopique consiste en un catalogue (et une critique) de ces caractéristiques. Cet essai attire l’attention sur le parfum attribué aux « Îles des bienheureux » de Lucien, ainsi que sur la description qu’en fait Nietzsche, sur sa sensibilité à l’odorat et sur l’attention portée par Illich à l’« atmosphère » et au nez. On aborde également le scepticisme envers l’utopie et des parallèles sont établis, d’une part, avec les critiques pragmatiques de l’utopie comme étant intrinsèquement totalitaires, d’autre part, avec la « bonne vie » dans la théorie politique et le défaut programmatique de la fantaisie techno-utopique. L’article se termine par une discussion d’Illich sur la pax  – c’est-à-dire la respiration.
The gender politics of do-it-yourself: Frostline kits and the American outdoor equipment boom of the 1970s
Authors: Gross Rachel S.
Published: June 2022

Dans les années 1970, les amateurs de plein air aux États-Unis ont adopté une nouvelle tendance en matière d’équipement et de vêtements de loisirs : les kits de couture à faire soi-même (en do-it-yourself). La société Frostline et ses concurrents ont fourni aux amateurs de plein air soucieux de leur budget des tissus et des matériaux prédécoupés, ainsi que des instructions sur la manière de les assembler. Au milieu des années 1970, il y avait au moins dix entreprises fabriquant des kits dans tout le pays, toutes tournées vers les loisirs de plein air. Grâce aux fortes remises pratiquées sur les kits démontés, les jeunes gens qui disposaient de plus de temps que d’argent pouvaient ainsi accéder à un équipement moderne haut de gamme. Malgré une tentative de vendre à la fois aux hommes et aux femmes, aux garçons et aux filles, tant le marketing que l’usage des kits DIY se scindèrent selon le genre. Même si, au-delà des baby-boomers qui grandirent en achetant et en cousant des kits Frostline dans les années 1970, peu d’adeptes des loisirs de plein air se souviennent de cette tendance, les kits à monter soi-même restent une partie importante de l’histoire de l’industrie des loisirs de plein air, de l’histoire de l’habillement, ainsi que de l’histoire de la culture de consommation.
