(NIE)PEŁNOSPRAWNOŚĆ A CYBERBEZPIECZEŃSTWO ZDROWOTNE W XXI WIEKU. SZKIC SOCJOLOGICZNO-PEDAGOGICZNY
Authors: Łuczak Mikołaj Jacek
Published: December 2023

Celem artykułu była próba prześledzenia faktycznych i potencjalnych relacji pomiędzy kategoriami niepełnosprawności a bezpieczeństwem, w szczególności bezpieczeństwem zdrowotnym, które w kolejnych dekadach XXI wieku będzie coraz bardziej determinowane technologicznie – głównie za sprawą zaawansowanych systemów informatycznych i cybernetycznych. Spektakularnym przykładem takiego procesu może być zastosowanie protez bionicznych u pacjentów po amputacjach, inteligentnych pomp insulinowych, systemów monitorowania poziomu glikemii u diabetyków czy rozruszników serca. Urządzenia techniczne wymieniające dane z ciałem pacjenta i zarazem nieizolowane od zewnętrznych systemów informatycznych mogą stać się nie tylko kolejnym sposobem na odzyskanie sprawności, ale również potencjalnym zagrożeniem dla jego zdrowia i życia. Możemy więc mówić w tym przypadku o wyłanianiu się nowej kategorii: indywidualnego cyberbezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego – w odróżnieniu od cyberbezpieczeństwa opieki zdrowotnej (cybersecurity of health care), rozumianego w wymiarze instytucjonalnym.Zagadnienia bezpieczeństwa integracji systemów biologicznych i technicznych można w tym przypadku analizować na wielu płaszczyznach, czyli: medycznej, informatycznej, prawnej czy ekonomicznej. W prezentowanym szkicu zwrócono uwagę przede wszystkim na aspekty socjologiczne i pedagogiczne bezpieczeństwa oraz samo zjawisko integracji systemów o różnej strukturze organizowanych w opozycji „naturalne–sztuczne”.
Does institutionalisation of community participation promise sustainability in governance of community forests?
Authors: Said Mohamed , Misana Salome
Published: December 2023

Tanzania, like many other tropical countries, has streamlined its environmental policies to institutionalise community participation and improve governance of community forests. The question is: to what extent has the governance of these forests improved as a result of the specified measures? The aim of this paper is to understand whether the institutionalisation of community participation through Community Forest Management Agreements (CoFMAs) guarantees sustainability in the governance of community forests in Zanzibar. Data for this paper were collected through structured interviews from 323 respondents in selected households, and complemented with in-depth interviews with 27 key informants (government officials, elders from the communities, local leaders and leaders of community conservation groups). The results show that the establishment of CoFMAs followed existing legislative frameworks to formalize community participation to ensure governance sustainability of community forests. However, the established conservation initiatives such as community participation in decision-making processes, benefit-sharing of forest resources, technological transfer, and community monitoring of forest resources have remained elusive as most of those initiatives have not been sustained overtime. Although CoFMAs have slightly improved community forest areas, illegal hunting of wildlife in and out of the conserved forests still remains a challenge. As such, the institutionalization of community participation under CoFMA cannot guarantee sustainability in the governance of community forest resources, unless it is community-led, and has access to reliable sources of income. Communities should, therefore, be facilitated with income-generating conservation projects, and/or establish reliable alternative sources of income to meet their needs to ensure sustainable governance of resources.

Authors: Sivagnanam Lingeswari , Karthikeyani Visalakshi N.
Published: December 2023

The accurate diagnosis of bipolar disorder is extremely challenging, due to unpredictable mood swings, behaviors, sleep, judgment, and inability to think, which makes it difficult to make a proper diagnosis. This paper aims to investigate the application of ensemble classifiers in classifying bipolar disorder and to compare their performance with existing methods. Herein, the work involves a thorough analysis of diagnostic precision and performance metrics. According to a study, an existing classifier achieved an accuracy rate of 87 % in bipolar disorder classification. In addition, the two most widely used classifiers, which are Random Forest and Decision Tree, achieved accuracy rates of 90 % and 86 %, respectively. These results highlight the performance baseline against which the proposed ensemble classifier is evaluated. Notably, the proposed ensemble classifier shows excellent results in bipolar disorder classification thereby, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 98 %. This considerable improvement in accuracy marks a significant stride in diagnostic precision, showcasing the potential of ensemble classifiers in enhancing bipolar disorder detection. The results of this study have given substantial implications for the field of mental health diagnosis, offering a promising avenue for a more accurate and reliable classification of bipolar disorder. This research reinforces the significance of advanced machine learning techniques and their potential to revolutionize the approach to diagnose and to manage mental health conditions

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance has spurred the search for alternative antimicrobial agents for drug-resistant species. This study aimed to investigate the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of charcoal obtained from the almond (Terminalia catappa) tree stem, commonly known as fruit in Nigeria. The charcoal was extracted from Terminalia catappa using the earth pit kiln method of carbonization, and its chemical composition was analyzed using the cold extraction method followed by qualitative phytochemical analysis. Mineral analysis was conducted using the wet acid digestion method, followed by spectrophotometric analysis using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) and Flame Absorption Spectrophotometer (FAS). Additionally, the antimicrobial activities of the charcoal were evaluated against ten (10) clinical isolates using the MIC/TTC and mycelial inhibition concentration method. The results revealed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, steroids, and flavonoids. Mineral analysis showed that K had the highest concentration in the order of K >Na > Ca, while trace element analysis indicated that Fe had the highest concentration in the order of Fe > Cr > Zn >Cu >Mn >Pb. Charcoal demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa at a concentration of 200 mg/ml with a minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) value of 50%, as well as against Aspergillus terreus with a growth inhibition value of 64% at a concentration of 100 mg/ml. These findings highlight the potential of Terminalia catappa stem charcoal as a natural antimicrobial agent and a promising source of raw materials for pharmaceutical applications.

Mythos Sport, Band I
Authors: Bockrath Franz
Published: December 2023

Mythische Anschauungen, die überwunden schienen, kehren im modernen Sport wieder. Hier lebt das Bedürfnis fort, der chaotisch erscheinenden Welt einen einheitsstiftenden Sinn abzuringen. Diesem Phänomen gehen die zwei Bände von Mythos Sport im Zusammenhang mit Subjektivierungsprozessen nach, die sich mittels sportlich-körperzentrierter Rituale, Praktiken und Übungen vollziehen. Im Anschluss an Adorno und Horkheimer wird deutlich, wie sehr die gesellschaftlichen »Körperverhältnisse« als verhinderte Aufklärung und daher verstrickt in Herrschaft zu begreifen sind. Der vorliegende Band I macht am Beispiel des mythischen Götterglaubens in der griechischen Adelsgesellschaft das für die Ausführungen zentrale subjektivierungstheoretische Motiv der inneren und äußeren Naturbeherrschung einsichtig und verfolgt dessen Transformation hin zum frühneuzeitlichen Selbstermächtigungsstreben. Sodann zeigt der Autor auf, wie in der neu entstehenden bürgerlichen Gesellschaft durch die Disziplinierung des Körpers dessen politische und ökonomische Nutzbarmachung erreicht wird.
Deutungshoheit und Übersetzung
Authors: Arjomand-Zoike Daniel
Published: December 2023

Immer wieder kommt es vor, dass Personen gegen die Verbreitung und Veröffentlichung von literarischen Werken klagen. Sie erkennen sich etwa in einer Romanfigur wieder und fühlen sich durch die Darstellung in ihrem Persönlichkeitsrecht verletzt. Aber wie kann entschieden werden, ob der fiktionale Text tatsächlich auf reale Personen referenziert? In der Literaturwissenschaft wird darüber schon länger debattiert. Die Gerichte wiederum behelfen sich damit, literaturwissenschaftliche Termini in Rechtsbegriffe zu übersetzen. Wie genau sich dieser Übersetzungsvorgang vollzieht, ist bislang nicht Gegenstand genuin rechtstheoretischer Forschung gewesen. Daniel Arjomand-Zoike entwickelt einen rechtswissenschaftlichen Übersetzungsbegriff, der sich aus hermeneutischen Überlegungen sowie übersetzungswissenschaftlichen, soziologischen und philosophischen Ansätzen speist. Über den Nachweis semantischer Verschiebungen hinaus soll dabei mittels des Übersetzungsbegriffs geklärt werden, wie außerrechtliche Fragestellungen rechtlich bearbeitet werden können. Es geht darum, das Verhältnis des Rechts zu seiner Umwelt sowie zu sich selbst zu untersuchen.
Rassendenken und Religion im Mittelalter
Authors: Nirenberg David
Published: December 2023

Über die Verbindung religiöser und rassistischer Diskriminierung. Das Konzept unterschiedlicher menschlicher »Rassen« sowie daraus resultierender Rassismus werden häufig als Erscheinungen der Moderne angesehen, die biologisches Wissen und biopolitisches Denken voraussetzten. Doch die Diskriminierung und Verfolgung von Menschen aufgrund ihrer biologischen Herkunft ist weitaus älter und lässt sich mindestens bis ins Mittelalter zurückverfolgen. Wie lässt sich die lange Geschichte dieser kulturellen Grenzziehungen verstehen, und was lässt sich daraus für die heutigen Erscheinungsformen des modernen Rassismus lernen? Als international anerkannter Experte für die Geschichte jüdischer, christlicher und islamischer Kulturen verschränkt David Nirenberg in diesem Essay die Betrachtung von biologisch geprägter Diskriminierung und Verfolgung mit der religiösen Diskriminierung von Menschen. Am Beispiel der kastilischen Christen im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert sowie der muslimischen Almohaden in Nordafrika im 11. und 12. Jahrhundert zeigt er, wie unterschiedliche religiöse Kulturen Konzepte hervorbrachten, die bemerkenswerte Ähnlichkeiten zu moderner rassistischer Diskriminierung aufwiesen. Damit fragt er letztlich nach der Geschichte einer Verbindung von kulturellen Konzepten der Ähnlichkeit und Differenz mit Ideen der biologischen Reproduktion.
Der Müll der Literatur
Authors: Assmann David-Christopher
Published: December 2023

Lektüren der Literarisierung von Müll und der Vermüllung von Literatur, die das Faible für unnütze Details mit dem sammelnden Lesen des völlig Unbrauchbaren verknüpfen. Müll drängt sich seit dem letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts zunehmend auf. Die gewöhnlich in den städtischen Peripherien zu Müllbergen angehäuften Dinge und Substanzen übersieht auch die Literatur nicht. Sie erzählt von ihnen, lässt ihre Figuren mit ihnen hantieren und setzt Form und Materialität ihrer Texte zu ihnen ins Verhältnis. Wozu interessieren sich literarische Texte um 1900 für einen so formlosen Gegenstand wie Müll? Auf diese Frage sucht die Studie von David-Christopher Assmann Antworten. In ihrem Zentrum stehen Lektüren von Müll-Stellen in der Literatur von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis in die 1920er Jahre. Welche Darstellungsverfahren setzen literarische Texte zwischen Realismus und Moderne ein, um ihrem Interesse an aussortierten oder weggeworfenen Materialitäten zu entsprechen? Inwiefern partizipiert die Literatur der Jahrhundertwende an stadthygienischen Bemühungen, die Müllbeseitigung in den Griff zu bekommen? Und mit welchen Folgen beobachtet ein literarischer Text sich selbst als Müll? Die Studie plädiert für einen materialitätstheoretisch und sozialgeschichtlich informierten Strukturalismus, der es erlaubt, Müll als Thema, Verfahren und Material, kurz: als textmaterielle Form von Literatur zu untersuchen.
Momentum Periods of Feedback Trading toward Exchange Rate Volatility in ASEAN Countries
Authors: Sudibyo Ivan , Ananto Husodo Zaafri , Keiko Hubbansyah Aulia
Published: December 2023

In this paper, the authors apply empirical evidence to demonstrate how important positive feedback trading factors are in understanding exchange rate behavior. Utilizing the GARCH augmented feedback model, or the exchange rate model set out by Laopodis, the author analyzes autocorrelation in exchange rate parameters and volatility in key ASEAN markets to yield deeper understanding of inducted exchange rates induced by the actions of positive feedback traders. The authors contend that positive feedback traders affect exchange rate volatility in ASEAN countries and induce the autocorrelation of negative returns within high exchange rate volatility. This study found that Singapore demonstrated a significant positive feedback trading during the period 1995–2014, while the authors further contend that Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei Darussalam, and Singapore also demonstrated positive feedback trading during the 1997–1998 Asian financial crisis. In addition to analyzing the positive feedback trading on exchange rate volatility, we also identify the exchange rate volatility spillover across the ASEAN countries. Related to this context, we found that Indonesia and Thailand play a dominant role as a dominant exchange rate volatility transmitter in the ASEAN region.
Unlocking Monetization Potential in the Age of YouTube Algorithmic Bias: An Analysis of Botswana Filmmaking
Authors: Ditlhokwa Gopolang
Published: December 2023

This chapter examines the challenges and opportunities faced by filmmakers in Botswana to monetize their film content on YouTube. The researcher uses a Critical Theory framework to explore the power dynamics of platforms toward cultural industries by dissecting the impact of YouTube’s algorithmic bias and geo-restrictions on content monetization potential. Additionally, this study extends to investigating the representation of diverse cultures and communities within the film industry and how YouTube’s policies may contribute to underrepresentation. With the help of qualitative research methods, the findings reveal that, indeed, filmmakers in Botswana face limitations in monetizing their content on YouTube due to regional IP restrictions, inability to meet subscription thresholds, and low viewership turnout. The study also highlights the potential for growth and market penetration through YouTube, as reaching a global audience by Botswana filmmakers can attract interest and investment from various funders. The study concludes that addressing YouTube’s algorithmic bias, geo-restrictions, and economic dynamics is crucial for promoting a more inclusive and equitable film industry in Botswana. It further suggests the need for pragmatic interventions that support filmmakers in navigating these challenges and maximizing their monetization opportunities on YouTube.

Combination of Alphanumeric Password and Graphic Authentication for Cyber Security
Authors: Santoso Joseph Teguh , Raharjo Budi , Wibowo Agus
Published: December 2023

The main objective of this research is to create a more secure and user-friendly password-generation method that is less vulnerable to attacks such as shoulder surfing. Similarly, while textual or alphanumeric passwords are not entirely secure, they also come with certain limitations, including issues related to memory. The novelty of this research is the development of a new algorithm (Secure Password Algorithm/SPA) for password generation that uses graphics to generate textual input from users based on user perceptions. This method is more resilient against attacks like shoulder surfing and offers a more secure and user-friendly way of creating passwords. This research uses a combination of literature review and SPA proposals to create passwords with graphical and encryption techniques. The literature review examines the weaknesses of existing graphical and text password methods. The proposed algorithm focuses on user perception and confidential data to create more secure and easy-to-use passwords. The research results show that this research can provide a new, more secure, and user-friendly method of generating passwords such as shoulder surfing. Research supports software implementation of these algorithms and psychometric, psychological, and psychiatric studies to improve user input and protect systems from malicious attacks. Graphical passwords provide better recall compared to textual passwords, and the proposed algorithm for password generation using graphical and encryption techniques provides a more secure and user-friendly method of password generation that is less vulnerable to attacks such as shoulder surfing. The proposed new encryption algorithm has succeeded in overcoming various potential weaknesses and attacks on previous encryption methods. The test results demonstrate the efficiency and near invulnerability of the SPA algorithm against brute force attacks on specific security parameters. Tested alongside AES, shows comparable security levels, particularly in resource-constrained environments. To address doubts, the paper establishes evaluation standards for computational complexity, resistance to known attacks, and adaptability to evolving threats. The algorithm has the potential to be a stronger and more secure solution for generating passwords to safeguard confidential user information.
The impact of remote working on Türkiye’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions: Learning from the experiences of Covid-19 era
Authors: Kaya Mustafa , Arı İzzet
Published: December 2023

Remote working emerged as an important alternative to office working. Türkiye put in force this practice in certain months of 2020 and 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic that led to serious decline in energy consumption in this period. The aim of this study is to find out the contribution of remote working on reducing fuel consumption in passenger car and electricity demand in case the country’s whole potential is used. This article also analyzes the effect of remote working practices on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Results show that the country can reduce 1.8 million tons of oil equivalent of its’ energy consumption which corresponds to 1.66% of the total energy consumption and USD 1.4 billion with 2019 prices. With a total of 7.73 million tons CO2 eq. emissions mitigation, Türkiye will be able to reduce its transport and electricity related emissions by 3.2% and 3.79%, respectively. Therefore, considering that Türkiye is a net fossil fuel importer country and a party to the Paris Agreement, it is necessary to promote remote working as a complementary energy efficiency and climate change policy. It is beneficial to consider the effect of remote working on energy consumption, including natural gas, during energy crises.

Forecasting Construction Price Index using Artificial Intelligence Models: Support Vector Machines and Radial Basis Function Neural Network
Authors: Tuan Thanh Nguyen  , Dam Duc Nguyen  , Son Duc Nguyen  , Indra Prakash  , Phong Van Tran  , Binh Thai Pham
Published: December 2023

Estimation of Construction Price Index (CPI) is important for a market economy and it is a measure to manage construction investment costs. This is a tool to help organizations and individuals to reduce the effort and management of expenses for construction projects by reducing time of procedures for calculating and adjusting the total investment for the estimation and evaluation of contract price. The CPI is an indicator that reflects the level of construction price fluctuations of the type of work over time. In this study, the CPI data of Son La province, Vietnam from January 2016 to March 2022 (75 dataset) has been used for the modelling. Two Artificial Intelligence (AI)  models namely Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Radial Basis Function Neural Network  (RBFN) were proposed to predict the CPI based on limited input data. Performance of the models in correctly predicting CPI was evaluated using standard statistical indicators such as Coefficient of Determination (R2), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) based on the historical CPI data. The results show that performance of both the models is good in predicting CPI, but performance of the  SVM model (R2 train = 0.915, R2 test = 0.811) is the best in comparison to RBFN model (R2 train = 0.985, R2 test = 0.733). The proposed AI models can be used to quickly and accurately predict the CPI of an area to help management agencies, investors, construction contractors for assessing cost of construction for the purchase and development of properties/ infrastructures.

Marshall stability (MS) is used to evaluate the resistance to settlement, deformation and displacement of asphalt concrete. However, these experiments are complex, expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, it is important to develop an alternative method to quickly determine these parameters. This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into applying machine learning techniques for predicting the MS of basalt fiber asphalt concrete. The study leverages the Gradient Boosting algorithm to establish predictive models. A database containing 128 samples is employed as the foundation for model construction. Additionally, SHAP analysis is employed to reveal the underlying variables influencing the predictive outcomes. To extend the practicality of the findings, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is developed to facilitate easy access to the predictive tool for material engineers. The results show that the content aggregate 4.75mm is the most influential variable, followed by the content aggregate 2.36mm, the content of fiber, the content of binder, and the content aggregate 9.5mm in descending order of impact.

Đặt vấn đề: Việc phân tích chi phí điều trị tăng huyết áp là cần thiết tại một trung tâm y tế tuyến huyện, nơi mà việc phân tích các chi phí cho các bệnh mạn tính chưa được chú trọng. Nghiên cứu được thực hiện nhằm phân tích chi phí trực tíếp và một số yếu tố liên quan trên người bệnh tăng huyết áp điều trị ngoại trú bảo hiểm y tế tại Trung tâm Y tế huyện Vị Thủy tỉnh Hậu Giang năm 2022. Đối tượng và phương pháp nghiên cứu: mô tả cắt ngang về chi phí điều trị trên 1,719 bảng kê ngoại trú có bảo hiểm y tế tại Trung tâm Y tế huyện Vị Thủy từ tháng 01/2022 đến tháng 12/2022; nghiên cứu được thực hiện dựa trên quan điểm của người bệnh (người chi trả). Kết quả: chi phí bình quân/đợt điều trị là 108,202 đồng. Tổng chi phí khám chữa bệnh của người bệnh là 185,754,674 đồng, tỷ trọng cao nhất là chi phí thuốc (64.1%). Trong đó, chi phí cho nhóm thuốc điều trị tăng huyết áp là 89.1%, chi phí bảo hiểm chiếm 98.6%. Có sự khác biệt có ý nghĩa thống kê về chi phí giữa các nhóm định mức bảo hiểm, số ngày điều trị và các bệnh mắc kèm (p<0.05). Kết luận: Chi phí thuốc chiếm tỷ trọng cao nhất; có sự khác biệt về chi phí điều trị giữa các nhóm khác nhau về số ngày điều trị, mức hưởng bảo hiểm y tế và các bệnh mắc kèm.

The Maximum Tolerable Gravity for Human Colonies
Authors: Levenson Barton Paul
Published: December 2023

Due in part to misinterpretation of a recent paper in the professional literature, the popular impression has taken hold that humans can tolerate living on a 4 or 5 g planet indefinitely. Experience from experiments in aerospace medicine imply that this figure is far too high. A maximum permanent tolerance level of 1.5 g for humans, suggested in 1964, has still not been superseded by any further research, and is likely close to the truth.
