Published: September 2024

Бүгінгі таңда азаматтық қоғамның белсенділігі адам құқықтарын қамтамасыз ету, экономикалық қызмет бостандығы, жастар және гендерлік саясат, діни және басқа да салаларда ғана емес, сонымен қатар қоғамдық қауіпсіздікті қамтамасыз етуде де көрінеді.
Мақалада діни экстремизм мен терроризмге қарсы іс-қимылда үкіметтік емес ұйымдарға ерекше профилактикалық рөл беріледі, себебі азаматтардың белсенді қатысуынсыз мемлекеттік мәжбүрлеу шаралары жаңа сындар мен қауіп-қатерлерге толық көлемде қарсы тұра алмайды.
Осыған байланысты АҚШ, Франция, Германия, Англия, Австрия, Израиль, Біріккен Араб Әмірліктері сияқты терроризмнен ең көп зардап шеккен шет елдердің оң тәжірибесі ерекше қызығушылық тудырады.
Авторлар аталған елдердің үкіметтік емес секторының діни экстремизм мен терроризмнің алдын алуға қатысу мәселелерін қарастырады. Мақалада мемлекетпен өзара іс-қимылдың институционалдық негіздері, олардың қызметінің нысандары мен бағыттары талданады.
Авторлардың назары қылмыс құрбандарына көмек көрсетуге, тәжірибені таратуға, халықтың радикалдануына жол бермеуге және сотталған адамдарды қайта әлеуметтендіруге байланысты шетелдік үкіметтік емес ұйымдар қызметінің мамандануына аударылды.

В рамках настоящей статьи авторы полагают целесообразным сделать акцент на реализации функции защиты профессиональным адвокатом, поскольку именно на этого участника уголовно-процессуальных отношений ложится основная нагрузка в состязательном процессе.
В реализации конституционных прав граждан на защиту был принят ряд нормативных постановлений Верховного суда, изменений и дополнений в уголовно-процессуальное законодательство, ряд подзаконных актов, в том числе претерпел изменения и сам Закон об адвокатской деятельности, охватив понятием и юридическую помощь. На основе данных правовых источников с учетом последних изменений в уголовно- процессуальном законодательстве (введение ст. 210-1 УПК РК и другие) был проведен анализ объема процессуальных прав, предоставленных адвокату-защитнику и адвокату-представителю, чтобы убедиться, что у последнего права существенно ограничены по сравнению с правами адвоката, оказывающего такую помощь подозреваемому и обвиняемому, т.е. прослеживается асимметрия в процессуальном положении защитника и представителя, а также адвоката свидетеля. В результате авторами были высказаны предложения о внесении дополнений в статьи 68, 69 и 70 Уголовно-процессуального кодекса Республики Казахстан.

Published: September 2024

В статье авторы затронули проблему применения правовых актов Республики Казахстан по вопросам взыскания компенсации морального вреда. В частности они отразили конкретные четыре причины, существующие на сегодняшний день. Первым, по мнению авторов, является отсутствие точного характера и размера компенсации морального вреда по тои или иной категории дел, что влечет не всегда справедливое решение даже при схожести ситуации. Вторым немаловажным аспектом является проблема доказывания суммы и оснований для взыскания компенсации. Третьей проблемой служит отсутствие альтернативной и дополнительной формы компенсации. Четвертой проблемой служит неправильная трактовка понятий «компенсация» и «возмещения» морального вреда. Данные обстоятельства отрицательно влияют на применение существующих норм, в результате чего не всегда индивид достигает морального удовлетворения и осознания чувства справедливости при принятии судом решения. Авторы, исследовав данный вопрос, выявив проблемы, предложили пути их решения.

Rural Households’ Perception on Protein Food Consumption Pattern of School-Aged Children (6-11 Years) in Katsina State
Authors: A. C. Aniefiok, , O. T. Ikwuakam,
Published: September 2024

In Nigeria, most rural households tend to adhere to the old and improper food eating patterns. This seemed more evident in the protein food consumption pattern (PFCP) which could be attributed to unverified wrong PFCP ideologies and cultures among distinctive ethnic groups. Consequently, the study investigated PFCP of school-aged children from rural households in Katsina State. A sample of 288 rural households was selected through the multistage sampling procedure from all Katsina rural households. Descriptive survey design and structured questionnaire were adopted in collecting data on households’ socioeconomic characteristics, protein food awareness, PFCP, perception and constraint. Frequency counts, percentages, means, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression analysis were employed in data analysis. The result revealed that most respondents were young, married, low income earners, Muslims, and farmers with Quaranic educational qualification. Levels of awareness and information were high and low respectively. While the pattern of consumption was inadequate, perception and constraint levels were unfavourable and high respectively. The ANOVA result showed that Katsina Central (KC) has significantly higher protein consumption than Katsina North (KN) and Katsina South (KS) just as KN had the highest awareness compared to KC and KS. Significant differences existed in PFCP KC, KN and KS. Age, marital status, income, awareness, perception, information and constraint were determinants of PFCP. The PFCP was inadequate with an unfavourable level of perception. While government and non-governmental agencies should explore the scaling up option of information sources other than radio, health workers and friends, households’ income diversification is germane for better PFCP.
Stability and Preservation of Fuzzy Membership Functions in Adaptive Gaussian Derivative Filters
Authors: Aarthi D
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the stability and preservation of fuzzy membership functions in Gaussian filters, particularly focusing on the Adaptive Gaussian Derivative (AGD) filter. Gaussian filters are essential for smoothing and noise reduction in image processing. The AGD filter, which adapts based on local image statistics, outperforms traditional methods. Key concepts like fuzzy sets, Boundary Input Boundary Output (BIBO) stability, and convolution are defined, and the mathematical formulation of the Gaussian and its derivative is presented. The AGD filter's BIBO stability ensures bounded outputs for bounded inputs, guaranteeing consistent behavior. It also preserves fuzzy membership function properties, maintaining convexity and boundedness through linearity and continuity. Frequency response analysis using Fourier Transform confirms the AGD filter retains the Gaussian shape in the frequency domain, preserving image smoothness. Theorems and proofs validate the AGD filter's stability and its capability to preserve fuzzy membership functions, ensuring reliable processing in applications such as medical image analysis. These properties make the AGD filter a robust tool for advanced image processing tasks.

Application of Linear Algebra in Image Processing for Medical Electronics
Authors: Sagar V. Joshi
Published: September 2024

A very important part of medical electronics is the use of linear algebra in picture processing to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, treatment plans, and medical study. This abstract talks about the basic ideas and real-world uses of linear algebra in this area, showing how important it is for improving healthcare tools. Linear algebra gives us a strong way to change and understand pictures, which is very important in many types of medical imaging, like MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, and digital pathology. Images and how they are represented and changed are two of the most basic uses of linear algebra. A lot of the time, images are shown as matrices or tensors, where each part is a pixel strength or color value. Linear changes, like translations, rotations, and scaling, are needed to line up pictures, fix errors, and make sure that image data is the same across all modes. In medical image analysis, linear algebra methods like eigenanalysis and matrix decomposition (for example, Singular Value Decomposition) are also used to get information from images and make them simpler. These techniques help doctors and researchers find important patterns, oddities, and structures in pictures, which makes automatic analysis and disease classification easier. Medical image registration is a very important step for lining up pictures from different sources or places in time. Linear algebra makes it easier to figure out transformation matrices that get the best spatial alignment. This is very important for continuous studies and tracking of treatment, where exact comparison and analysis depend on perfectly aligned images. Linear algebra is also very important in methods for improving and fixing images. For example, filtering processes based on convolution matrices are used to get rid of noise, boost contrast, and bring out features in medical pictures, which makes them easier for doctors to see and understand. In computer imaging and tomography, linear algebra makes it possible to rebuild three-dimensional structures from two-dimensional picture slices. This makes it possible to see internal details and diseases more clearly. Overall, combining linear algebra with image processing in medical electronics not only makes medical pictures better and easier to understand, but it also leads to new diagnosis tools and treatment plans. Employing mathematical methods to pull useful data from large sets of images helps healthcare professionals make better choices, which ultimately leads to better patient results and progress in medical study.
Enhancing Bright Band Prediction Through RadioSonde RadioWind for International Telecommunication Union- Radio Communications (ITU-R)
Authors: Likhitha Banredddy
Published: September 2024

As a vital source of information on atmospheric conditions at different altitudes, upper air observations are critical for precise weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and atmospheric research. In coastal areas like Vishakhapatnam that are subject to tropical cyclones and monsoonal fluctuations, radiosondes provide precise vertical profiles that are essential for weather forecasting. They also measure temperature, humidity, and pressure. The addition of wind speed and direction readings via radiowind devices, often known as "rawinsondes," improves severe weather forecasts and our understanding of atmospheric dynamics. Forecasting floods, maintaining aviation safety, and managing water resources are all aided by the ability to predict the bright band, a radar indication of the precipitation layer melting. Weather models and readiness for disasters are much improved in Vishakhapatnam when radiosondes, rawinsondes, and bright band predictions are used in tandem.

The PCM alloy can potentially charge/discharge thermal energy as a sensible/latent heat at the temperature range of 414-527 °C. The working temperatures of PCM alloy are in operation temperatures of current molten-salt based CSP plant. In this study, thermal response testing of PCM alloy and sensible/latent storage unit that PCM alloy was loaded in a ceramic honeycomb were prepared in a laboratory scale. The thermal charging/discharging performance of PCM alloy and sensible/latent storage unit were experimentally examined and compared. The storage unit provided thermal release/absorption behaviour at close to temperatures of the thermodynamic equilibrium state.
Impact of Atmospheric Turbulence on Dynamic Wind Loads on Heliostats
Authors: Jafari Azadeh , Emes Matthew , Arjomandi Maziar
Published: September 2024

This study analyses the turbulent wind properties in the lower 10 m of the atmospheric surface layer close to the ground where heliostats are located. Power spectral densities of streamwise and vertical components of wind are analysed, and the frequencies associated with the peak of the spectra are determined using field data collected at two open-country terrains in addition to spectral models of ESDU85020. Variations of the peak frequencies with height from the ground, terrain type and average wind speed are discussed and the impact on heliostat wind loads are described. It is found that while the peak frequency of the streamwise turbulence is between 0.01–0.1 Hz, the peak of the vertical turbulence occurs at frequencies in the range of 0.1–1 Hz. It is shown that smaller heliostats that are located closer to the ground are exposed to turbulent wind fluctuations at a higher frequency and are thus expected to experience wind loads with a higher dominant frequency compared to larger heliostats located higher above the ground. These frequencies need to be considered in design of heliostat drives and structural components
Optical Benchmarking of a Novel Polar Bi-Focal Beam-Down Tower Concept
Authors: Schöttl Peter , Bern Gregor , Torres Francisco
Published: September 2024

Small-scale modular CSP systems using polar heliostat field arrangements reduce cosine losses significantly and – by integrating a secondary beam-down reflector – enable novel receiver concepts. A novel polar bi-focal beam-down design is introduced and its optical performance is assessed with ray tracing. Albeit not fully optimized, results show that – in comparison to a single-focus beam-down system – the bi-focal system entails higher annual, DNI-weighted optical efficiency and flatter circadian profiles, beneficial for reducing peak dumping. Even higher optical performances can be reached by combining single-focus and bi-focus systems.
Solar Boiler for Almond Processing
Authors: Gleckman Philip , Hathaway Brandon
Published: September 2024

Since June of 2022, Sunvapor has been successfully operating the first solar boiler used for nut processing in the USA. Sunvapor engineered, managed the construction, and commissioned the turnkey solar steam generating facility for California Custom Processing (“CCP”), one of California’s leading almond processors located in Madera, California. CCP takes in raw almonds and performs a range of processes, including pasteurization, that require process steam. CCP was seeking to add steaming capacity to its boiler room, which has three 500 kWth (the subscript “th” means we are referring to thermal energy) gas boilers in order to raise its daytime production rate. The 2 MWth solar boiler developed by Sunvapor not only satisfied the need for additional daytime steaming capacity, but in clear sky conditions has supplied 100% of all the plant steam demand - with no greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper we present all phases of the life cycle of this first-of-a-kind solar boiler for nut processing; development, construction, commissioning, and operations.
US urban land-use reform: a strategy for energy sufficiency
Authors: Subin Zachary M. , Lombardi Jackie , Muralidharan Raghav , Korn Jacob , Malik Jeetika , Pullen Tyler , Wei Max , Hong Tianzhen
Published: September 2024

Policy approaches to the global energy transition often focus on technology-based solutions while ignoring challenges of overall energy demand. A sufficiency-first approach aims to limit superfluous consumption while achieving wellbeing for all. This study focuses on US built environment mechanisms of sufficiency under urban land-use policy. The historical context of US exclusionary and car-oriented planning is reviewed with an order-of-magnitude assessment of the effects on greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE). Using national vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) data derived from mobile device locations (Replica) and validated here with federal data, a hypothetical scenario explores the potential for state urban land-use reforms to enable energy sufficiency. Tenth percentile-VMT (per capita) neighborhoods are defined by state: in 47 states, the typical such neighborhood has less than 33% of its housing units in structures larger than four units. Assuming each state redresses its housing shortage while matching this VMT, 31 Mt CO2e (direct GHGE) and about 38 Mt CO2e (indirect and life-cycle GHGE) would be avoided in 2033. Texas, California, and Florida have the largest absolute emissions reduction opportunity. Urban land-use reforms comprise a logical starting point for a US sufficiency agenda. Key priorities for research, data collection, and technology and policy innovation are proposed.
Policy relevance
International climate policy is increasingly focused on enabling people to consume less energy: not just technological ‘efficiency’ but ‘sufficiency’ is needed. However, sufficiency has seen little uptake in the US. It may be more relevant to US policymakers if related to the growing momentum for reforming land-use planning and housing policy to address the housing shortage and affordability crisis. This crisis stems in part from the US prevalence of single-family zoning and car-centric planning, rooted in a history of racial segregation; these same laws effectively mandate people to maintain more polluting lifestyles. This study estimates how much climate pollution could be avoided with state-led land-use reform. If states committed to solving the housing shortage while building new housing in neighborhoods where people can drive less, the savings could be comparable with expanding electric vehicle policies. Policymakers and practitioners can enable these reforms while supporting complementary policy goals.

Metastatic pancreatic cancer leads to a fatal outcome, with a median progression-free survival of approximately six months when utilizing the most successful combination of chemotherapeutic regimens. When drug resistance develops, it facilitates an increase in primary tumor growth and new and growing metastases. Patients inevitably and quickly succumb to their disease and die. Notably, chemotherapy has an unintended impact on the development of drug resistance through the enhancement of EMT development and the enrichment of cancer stem cells (CSC). Recent report discovered that neuraminidase-1 (Neu-1) regulates EMT induction, angiogenesis, and cellular proliferation by the activation of several receptor tyrosine kinases. Here, the continual therapeutic inhibition of Neu-1 through intravenous administration of oseltamivir phosphate (OP) and aspirin (ASA) alongside GEM treatment significantly inhibits tumor progression, crucial compensatory signaling pathways, EMT program, CSC, and metastasis progression in a preclinical RAG2xCy  double mutant BALB/c mouse model of human PANC-1 pancreatic cancer. The tumorigenic and metastatic potential of the xenotumors from the animals treated with the experimental protocols were significantly ablated when transferred into the mammary fat pads of NSG (NOD SCID gamma) branded mice.

To date, soft-tissue remains of extinct incirrate octopods have been described exclusively from UpperCretaceous deposits. Here, three specimens of an incirrate octopodid with well-preserved soft tissue imprints are described for the first time from Paleogene strata. This material originates from the upper Ypresian (lower Eocene) fish-bearing levels of the Bolca Konservat-Lagerstätte in the Pesciara of Bolca in north-eastern Italy. Previously, these specimens had tentatively been interpreted as teuthids. Based on a detailed study of their anatomical structure, a new genus and species of octopodid, Bolcaoctopus pesciaraensis, belonging to the extant family Octopodidae, are here erected. Bolcaoctopus gen. nov. may be distinguished from the Late Cretaceous genus Styletoctopus by the presence of long and thin arms and an elongated body shape with a narrowed apical end and covered by longitudinal wrinkles. Although finds of fossil octopuses in the Bolca Konservat-Lagerstätte remain extremely rare, it is worth noting that Cenozoic marine vertebrate localities constitute an important potential source of additional finds of coleoid cephalopods, the study of which may shed light on a poorly understood period in the evolutionary history of these molluscs.
Critique de la raison et écriture de la « réson »
Authors: Perreault Isabelle
Published: September 2024

Cet article articule la mise en échec du rationalisme et la valorisation du sensible et de la porosité du sujet avec le monde comme marques d’affirmation d’une écriture-femme dans l’œuvre de Duras. Comme absent à lui-même, le sujet durassien aurait pour condition existentielle l’ouverture au tout-venant du sensible, dans un renversement de l’axiome cartésien – « Je pense donc je suis ». Les héroïnes féminines, les enfants, les aliénés incarneraient au mieux cet en-allé constitutif de l’être-au-monde durassien. Il n’est pas étonnant que ces figures soient celles qui entretiennent un lien privilégié avec la musique, de tout temps accusée d’irrationnalité et de tromperie par les philosophes. En suivant le fil qui conduit d’une condamnation du discours théorique à une éthique du non-savoir et au rapt du sujet, l’article réévalue le féminisme ambivalent de l’auteure au prisme d’une « attentionnalité », qui substituerait l’intentionnalité du sujet masculin par des formes d’écoute et d’ouverture par lesquelles le soi et le monde perdent leur étanchéité pour devenir des lieux de résonance, de fluidité, de communauté.
Histoire de petits pieds ou de poussins
Authors: Ueda Akiko
Published: September 2024

« Les petits pieds de la Chine », texte inédit de Marguerite Duras, déconstruit les frontières artificielles et contrecarre les prétentions de la raison. Le récit, qui avance par le biais d’une réitération de la négation et de la contradiction, révèle cette vérité selon laquelle nous ne sommes pas indépendants et que nous ne nous contrôlons pas nous-mêmes. Revenir à l’enfance, au temps des petits pieds et des poussins enfermés et aveugles, revient en définitive à être seul, sans recours, sans issue, sans maîtrise, en proie à ce qui dépasse infiniment, à s’installer dans ce lieu invivable de la perte et du désir dans lequel on n’était pas encore séparé « des autres ». Penser cette première négation, c’est faire valoir le relationnel, une vision plus existentielle que spéculative. À travers les théories d’Eva Feder Kittay, de Søren Kierkegaard ou de Slavoj Žižek, cet article met en relief l’importance de la négativité dans l’œuvre durassienne.
Entre positions politiques et oppositions à la politique
Authors: Chen Xiaolin
Published: September 2024

Il semble que Marguerite Duras, qui accorde une suprématie totale à l’écriture, cherche à éviter à tout prix qu’elle soit interprétée sous l’angle politique, tant elle a été chagrinée par les lectures de droite qui ont sévi après la sortie du Barrage contre le Pacifique. Cependant, loin de chasser la politique de son univers artistique, l’auteure écrit un grand nombre de livres « dits politiques », dans lesquels la politique s’apparente moins à une revendication réactionnaire qu’à un abandon de toute idéologie et de toute morale – une vision politique nihiliste représentée autant par la perdition réclamée par ses personnages que par un style qui se disloque et se libère des carcans jusqu’à devenir « écriture courante ».
Інклюзивна освіта ромських учнів у Словацькій Республіці та Угорщині: виклики та перспективи
Authors: Годлевська К. В.
Published: September 2024

Стаття присвячена дослідженню умов і політик інклюзивної освіти в Словацькій Республіці та Угорщині, зокрема щодо ромських учнів. Актуальність теми зумовлена необхідністю подолання освітніх бар’єрів і забезпечення рівного доступу до якісної освіти для всіх соціальних груп, зокрема для представників ромської меншини. Мета дослідження полягає у виявленні ефективності впроваджених заходів інклюзивної освіти для ромських дітей та визначенні основних соціальних, політичних та економічних бар’єрів, які впливають на доступ ромів до якісної освіти та їх інтеграцію в освітні системи Словацької Республіки та Угорщини. Дизайн дослідження включає порівняльний аналіз освітніх політик та практик щодо ромських учнів, аналіз документів та нормативно-правових актів, що регулюють інклюзивну освіту в цих країнах, а також систематичний огляд літератури для ідентифікації основних бар’єрів та викликів на шляху інтеграції ромів в освітні системи. Методологія включає аналіз кейсів для оцінки ефективності конкретних заходів з інклюзивної освіти. Виявлено, що політики інклюзії ромських учнів часто залишаються фрагментарними, недостатньо фінансованими та характеризуються відсутністю чітких індикаторів для оцінки впливу. Отримані результати свідчать про необхідність розробки більш інтегрованих підходів, які включали б систематичний моніторинг і оцінку впроваджених заходів, а також ефективне використання фінансових ресурсів. Сформульовано рекомендації щодо посилення координації між національними та місцевими органами влади та встановлення чітких стандартів інклюзії для забезпечення рівних можливостей. Теоретичне значення дослідження полягає в систематизації знань про освітню інклюзію ромів у Європі, а практичне – у можливості застосування розроблених рекомендацій для розробки ефективних освітніх стратегій. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає в детальному аналізі взаємодії між національними та місцевими політиками та їх впливу на інтеграцію ромів в освітні системи. Подальші дослідження можуть зосередитися на аналізі специфічних факторів, що впливають на інклюзію ромських учнів, і вдосконаленні освітніх програм. Стаття є теоретичною.

La guerra de Troya en la biblioteca del Marqués de Santillana: manuscritos y lecturas
Authors: Rodríguez Porto Rosa
Published: September 2024

Aunque la presencia de la materia troyana en la obra del Marqués de Santillana ha sido glosada por otros autores, este trabajo trata de completar y matizar aportaciones previas, partiendo del examen de los manuscritos preservados en su biblioteca. Estos habrían incluido la Crónica Troyana de Juan Fernández de Heredia (Madrid, BNE, MSS/10801), la traducción castellana de la versión latina de la Ilíada debida a Pier Candido Decembrio y Leonardo Bruni (Londres, BL, Add. 21245), así como los romanceamientos de la Genealogia deorum de Boccaccio (Madrid, BNE, MSS/10221) y del Ovidius Moralizatus de Bersuire (Madrid, BNE, MSS/10196), además de otras obras –clásicas y modernas– que llegó a reunir.  El análisis de las ilustraciones, manecillas, anotaciones y demás signos de lectura en sus páginas permite seguir el proceso creativo del poeta, reconstruyendo una constelación textual y delineando los contornos de un imaginario que, si bien deudor de la tradición medieval –y muy especialmente de lo alfonsí–, ya participa de una nueva estética.

Authors: Cruz Gênesis Vivianne Soares Ferreira , Silva Stéfany Pelegrini da , Braga Mariana Toniazzo
Published: September 2024

Em 2020, durante a pandemia de COVID-19, as relações sociais foram diretamente influenciadas: contatos físicos foram restringidos e as Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC’s) assumiram o principal meio de interação entre as pessoas, governos e instituições. Neste cenário, o “LUDOCOVID” realizou ações de educação em saúde sobre a prevenção do COVID-19, utilizando estratégias lúdicas em redes sociais, para crianças, famílias e comunidade. Este é um relato de experiência descritivo das atividades de extensão desenvolvidas à distância no período de isolamento, na pandemia, por voluntários do projeto intitulado: “Cuidado e Prevenção: ações educativas no combate ao COVID-19”, visando reinventar os meios de alcance e comunicação para promover o bem-estar e a saúde. Em suma, foi possível estimular a relação academia/comunidade nessa complexa realidade, produzindo informações, interações, trocas de saberes e a adoção de medidas que combateram o avanço da doença ao mesmo tempo que promovia a qualificação e formação profissional.
