Concept and Self-Consciousness of the žemininkai Generation
Authors: Kvietkauskas Mindaugas
Published: December 2022

The article analyses the origins of the concept of the žemininkai generation (the so-called Earth generation of Lithuanian literary modernism), in order to assess the validity and suitability of this traditional concept for the research of Lithuanian literature and culture. The notion that the group that published the literary anthology Žemė (Earth, 1951) represents a much wider literary and cultural generation born in the 1920s has been established in Lithuanian literary studies since the 1950s, but it has not been sufficiently critically examined. From a socio-cultural point of view, the question arises as to whether this actually corresponds to an authentic collective phenomenon of generational consciousness of these authors. For this purpose, the development of the concept of the žemininkai generation in the post-war Lithuanian diaspora and post-soviet Lithuania is investigated, the concept of generation formulated in the cultural sociology works of Karl Mannheim and Norbert Elias is discussed, and cases of generational identification in the early texts of the žemininkai, written during the Second World War, and in their later ego-documentary texts are analysed. Aspects of critical period experience, generational solidarity, socio-cultural location, intergenerational relations, and literary impact are considered. It is concluded that the expression of a complex generational self-consciousness indeed appears in the texts of the žemininkai group.

Real estate valuation using machine learning techniques
Authors: Adomavičius Simonas
Published: December 2022

In this work, the methods of artificial intelligence are analyzed in order to perform a more accurate value prediction of the apartments sold in Vilnius city and district. The work uses publicly available information about apartments put for sale on Aruodas.lt, which is collected in an automated way. The information that is collected consists of a text – description of the apartment for sale, photos – photos placed in the ad, and general information provided in the ad – price, location, apartment size, various features of the apartment and more.  A constant problem in real estate valuation is the overvaluation of low-value objects and/or underestimation of high-value objects. When dealing with regression problems, we often have data on most average objects, but never enough of cheap and luxurious ones. For this reason, estimating the value of most properties is easier than cheap or expensive. However, as the methods of artificial intelligence evolve and  information becomes more and more available, our ability to better value this type of housing increases. It is hoped that the information contained in the photos and text will allow for a better forecast of the value of housing by better valuing both cheap and expensive apartments. In the first part of the work, a review of the literature is performed where other authors have examined the possibilities of using artificial intelligence to predict the value of housing. The second part describes the research methods that will be applied in the work and presents the information gathering strategy. In the third part, a study is conducted, during which  feature engineering is performed first, followed by model training and optimization. Finally, the results of the best model with 13.74 MAPE and 33,307 RMSE are presented along with the conclusions of the work.

Authors: Kuldanová Pavlína , Petráš Patrik , Hebal-Jezierska Milena
Published: December 2022

Publikace pojednává o spisovné výslovnosti tří západoslovanských jazyků, které se přes svou genetickou a geografickou blízkost odlišují nejen ve zvukové realizaci některých hlásek nebo hláskových seskupení, ale i tím, jak se v českém, slovenském a polském lingvistickém prostředí přistupuje k pojímání spisovnosti nebo co přesně v nich pojem ortoepie z názvu knihy znamená. Kromě ortoepických pravidel uplatňujících se v současných sledovaných jazycích, jež jsou zpracována v samostatných kapitolách (3., 4. a 5.), přináší také pohled do historie kodifikačních snah v jednotlivých zemích (kap. 2), upozornění na problémové jevy současné výslovnosti české, slovenské i polské (6. kap.) a v samotném úvodu (1. kap.) vysvětlení základní používané oborové terminologie a její pojetí v jednotlivých prostředích.
Influencia de las políticas educativas globales en los procesos educativos nacionales: El caso de la modalidad educativa dual en Costa Rica
Authors: Camacho Calvo Silvia
Published: December 2022

El objetivo del presente ensayo consiste en realizar una aproximación de análisis a la forma en que las políticas educativas globales han incidido en los procesos educativos costarricenses, específicamente en la Educación y Formación Técnica Profesional (EFTP) Dual. Se lleva a cabo una revisión crítica de los documentos que presentan información sobre el camino transitado por los sectores educativo, empresarial y sindical, respecto de la planificación curricular y la implementación en 2017 de la propuesta de educación dual efectuada por la Dirección de Educación Técnica y Capacidades Emprendedoras (DETCE) del Ministerio de Educación Pública (MEP). El análisis toma como punto de partida el antecedente de la Escuela de Artes y Oficios establecida en Cartago a principios del siglo XX, modalidad educativa que luego pasaría a quedar incorporada en la Ley Fundamental de Educación de 1957, definida como una modalidad que busca dar respuesta a las necesidades de formación técnica y profesional del país y en la que se estipula una vinculación con el sector productivo y empleador. En el contexto de la globalización, el modelo de desarrollo económico de Costa Rica está hoy abierto y expuesto a una fuerte incidencia de las tendencias económicas internacionales y, en su caso, dicha incidencia también recae en la conformación curricular de la EFTP. Esta situación queda de manifiesto en la elaboración de la primera propuesta de Ley de Educación y Formación Técnica Dual (N. 9728), en la que queda restringida la consulta a una diversidad de sectores productivos del país. Como principal conclusión del ensayo se plantea, por tanto, la necesidad de una modalidad educativa dual que sea contextualizada y situada, a fin de cumplir con las finalidades de una FFTP equitativa e inclusiva, que tome en cuenta las necesidades y demandas de todos los sectores productivos y que de esta manera contribuya a la mejora del bienestar y la justicia social en la sociedad costarricense.
La actualización del rol a través de la voz en la interacción de consultas médicas
Authors: Hernández-Flores Nieves
Published: December 2022

Este trabajo explora la relación entre el concepto de voz (Bachtin) y el de rol (Goffman 1961), y sus implicaciones en la realización de actividades de imagen (facework, Goffman 1967) en la interacción médico-paciente. Teniendo como base teórica la Pragmática sociocultural (Bravo 2020) se analizan cualitativamente tres fragmentos de consultas médicas en un centro de atención primaria gallego. Los resultados muestran que los interactuantes usan voces propias de sus roles de médico y paciente, pero también se intercambian las voces o acuden a otras externas que son recontextualizadas en la situación en que se encuentran. Dicho manejo de voces interviene, como estrategia discursiva, en la creación de actividades de imagen, en concreto en comportamientos de cortesía o autoimagen que confirman la imagen de rol de los interactuantes. El análisis muestra también cómo la voz constituye un recurso discursivo que contribuye a la renovación y redefinición de los roles en la interacción.
El discurso político-institucional sobre las enfermedades poco frecuentes: las agrupaciones valorativas en las iniciativas parlamentarias
Authors: Asencio-Ibáñez Alberto-D.
Published: December 2022

Las 135 Iniciativas parlamentarias (IP) sobre las Enfermedades Poco Frecuentes (EPF) son parte de la representación del hacer y del decir del discurso político sobre estas patologías, que para el Gobierno y el movimiento asociativo afectan aproximadamente a tres millones de ciudadanos. El Análisis Crítico del Discurso aplicado a estas iniciativas y a sus correspondientes tipologías (función de control, función de orientación política y declaración institucional) a lo largo de siete legislaturas nos permite observar la apropiación política de la voz de la Federación Española de Enfermedades Raras (FEDER) sobre las EPF y el empleo de una serie de agrupaciones valorativas que expresan vaguedad, una tenue reivindicación y una falta de responsabilidad parlamentaria. Estas, además, demuestran una aparente implicación a la vez que un distanciamiento hacia la enfermedad, los pacientes y sus familiares.
The marau Hangarau (Māori-medium Technology curriculum): Why there isn't much research but why there should be!
Authors: Lemon Ruth , Lee Kerry Maree , Dale Hēmi
Published: December 2022

Hangarau is under-researched. Research in this field, from historical case studies to exploration of hangarau practice across a range of educational contexts, is needed. We examine the significant gap by outlining the timelines leading up to the third cycle of curriculum design and implementation of the marau hangarau. The dataset is drawn from a larger project consisting of interviews with tuakana-curriculum designers (Lemon, 2019) and document analysis of material sourced through requests for official information (Ministry of Education, 1999-2003, 1999-2008, 2003-2012, 2007-2009).Hangarau needs to be researched. As a decolonising curriculum, coming from a Māori foundation of thinking and being, it connects future, past and present in a holistic approach to technological practice. Research will inform the next generation of curriculum designers, and strengthen sector understandings of hangarau. This will be reflected in classroom practice, with better uptake and engagement in hangarauâ€“building on our past achievements. How can we plan ahead if we do not know what has been done? We need to value the work done by those who have toiled to develop a new way of learning for our tamariki mokopuna.He marautanga reo Māori tÄ“nei mÄ ngÄ kura reo MÄori.

Biobanking potential for biomedical research in endocrinology
Authors: Chubakova K. A. , Kamenskikh E. M. , Bakhareva Yu. O. , Saprina T. V.
Published: December 2022

Biobanking is an actively developing scientific area that provides tools for conducting biomedical research, increasing the reliability and reproducibility of their results. In endocrinology, more and more attention is paid to the study of molecular and genetic markers of diseases for the selection of new points of influence in treatment, the development of targeted therapy and a strategy for personalized prevention. This approach is designed to solve the problems of endocrine disorders, their complications, causing significant damage to the individual and he population health, and reduce the financial burden of chronic endocrine disorders. To increase the reliability and reproducibility of research results, requirements for working with biological material should be strictly complied. The use of biobanking will increase the validity of data obtained in clinical trials in endocrinology. There are successful examples of Russian and foreign studies using the capabilities of biobanks aimed at studying diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, adenomas and other endocrine disorders. The article discusses the prospects for partnership with biobanks in the framework of endocrinology research. The purpose of this review is to analyze the literature to systematize knowledge for application of biobanking in biomedical research in the field of endocrinology.

Authors: Kosobokova E. N. , Malchenkova A. A. , Kalinina N. A. , Kosorukov V. S.
Published: December 2022

Aim. To approve the COrDIS kit (Gordiz, Russia) for the authenticity of cell lines from the Bioresource Collection of the N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology by the short tandem repeat (STR) profiling.

Material and methods. The chosen method proved to be a reliable and reproducible option. With this approach, a number of polymorphic STR loci are amplified using commercially available primer sets. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products are analyzed simultaneously with size standards using automated fluorescent detection methods. The results are presented as a simple number code corresponding to the lengths of the PCR products amplified at each locus. By applying this method to cell lines, the laboratory can both authenticate commercial cell lines and build a database of their lines. In the work, we used the COrDIS EXPERT 26 kit (Gordiz, Russia), validated for molecular genetic identification of personality based on multiplex PCR analysis of 26 highly polymorphic loci of human genomic deoxyribonucleic acid. PCR results were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis using an automatic genetic analyzer with laser-induced fluorescence detection (Applied Biosystems 3500xL).

Results. When testing the method, profiling of 37 cell lines was carried out, of which 18 were announced in international databases and 19 were unique, obtained at the N. N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology, as well as a cell line mixture in order to determine the limits of contamination detection. The obtained results showed the correspondence of commercial cell lines with the data in international databases. Within the framework of this work, profiles of unique lines were obtained and the foundation of own genetic database was laid. Studies to identify the limit of contamination detection by another line have shown that even 4% of the contaminant culture in the total pool can be used to identify its individual alleles.

Conclusion. The results obtained indicate the possibility of using the method to identify samples of the collection and detect intraspecific contamination.

The Biobank of the National Medical Research Center of Oncology is a multi-layered infrastructure with large collections of biological samples, complemented by extensive and well-annotated clinical and pathological patient data, including medical images, pathological histology, and molecular analysis of biosamples. To date, the biobank of the National Medical Research Center of Oncology contains collections of primary and immortalized cancer cell lines of human origin. The collection of primary cell lines was formed from samples of postoperative material taken during the removal of tumors of various localizations (breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer). All cell lines underwent internal quality control for contaminants (exogenous viruses, mycoplasmas and bacterial L-forms), viability and were cultivated without antibiotics. On the basis of the collected samples, a significant number of projects in the field of biomedicine were carried out, the results of which are described in this article.

The introduction of pharmacogenetic tests among the Russian population faces a fundamental limitation  — pronounced genetic differences between populations. The genetic geography of pharmacogenetic markers of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) helps to remove these limitations.

Aim. To reveal the spatial variation of the gene pools of the indigenous European Russian population in terms of DNA markers that are significant for the pharmacotherapy of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) using the population biobank collections.

Material and methods. A total of 3170 samples from 61 populations of the Biobank of Northern Eurasia, which represents the gene pools of the indigenous Eastern Europe population, were studied using two pharmacogenetic DNA marker arrays as follows: 60 most significant markers and 24 markers associated with CVDs. Using the multivariate statistics and genetic geography, a comparison of gene pool variation was made.

Results. A cartographic atlas has been created that includes maps of the distribution among the Eastern Europe population of 24 pharmacogenetic CVD markers. These cartographic models allow various specialists to analyze patterns in the distribution of pharmacogenetic markers. General patterns are supplemented by regional studies in  the  North Caucasus, the Cisurals and the Russian Plain, which identify population groups with similar pharmacogenetic status. For each region, a comparison of gene pool variation for two arrays of above-mentioned DNA markers was made.

Conclusion. The created atlas is the basis for the development of pharmacogenetic studies conducted by genetic geography methods using a single panel of markers and representative samples provided by population biobanks. The reliability of the results is ensured by a detailed genealogical and population annotation of each biobank sample and representative samples from the populations.
How News Reports and ESG Publication Financially Affect Firms
Authors: Anang Eric , Васиев Максим , Wang Qian
Published: December 2022

ESG has become a growing and integral part of company activities. Not only is it something investors now take into consideration when choosing stocks, but the question of a firm’s Environmental, Social and Governance awareness and actions has integrated itself into something as critical as some banks’ decisions to provide loans to a firm. While ESG used to bejust a “nice-to-have,” there is no denying that it is now a must-have for any company that wants to be a global market leader.

Many prior studies have focused on ESG ratings, the types of ESG information disclosed in annual reports and the effect of financial news on firms. The aim of this research is to take a deeper look at the effect of ESG on firms and find out whether different news feed and news publications concerning a company’s ESG activities and circumstances affect its value? Our research shows that there is a weakly significant effect of negative ESG-related news on firms in the window (–1, +1) and no significant reaction to positive news. This means that investors do not statistically significantly react to positive ESG news about firms. We examined 65 publicly traded companies from 7 different markets worldwide over the course of 13 years (from 2009 to 2021). We collected a total of 458 separate news articles from the S&P Global Market Intelligence platform –and classified them into positive and negative depending on the news. We ran OLS regressions of the data points together with financial control variables on a company’s CAR in a 5-, 3- and 2-day interval to check for the effect. No significant effect was reported.

Published: December 2022

Two new triketone-containing quinoxaline derivatives were designed by fragment splicing strategy and synthesized using 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid and substituted cyclohexanedione as starting materials. Both compounds were characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR, HRMS and X-ray diffraction. 3-Hydroxy-5-methyl-2-(quinoxaline-6-carbonyl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one (6a) crystallized in the triclinic system, space group Pī, a = 7.9829(2) Å, b = 8.1462(2) Å, c = 10.7057(3) Å, α = 84.3590(10)°, β = 89.7760(10)°, γ = 87.4190(10)°, Z = 2, V = 692.12(3) Å3, F(000) = 296, Dc = 1.335 Mg/m3, μ(MoKα) = 0.095 mm–1, R = 0.0683 and wR = 0.1983. 3-Hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-2-(3-ethoxyquinoxaline-6-carbonyl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one (6b) crystallized in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c, a = 10.1554(6) Å, b = 9.6491(6) Å, c = 17.7645(10) Å, β = 90.784(2)°, Z = 4, V = 1740.59(18) Å3, F(000) = 720, Dc = 1.299 Mg/m3, μ(MoKα) = 0.092 mm–1, R = 0.0462 and wR = 0.1235. Physicochemical property comparison and ADMET prediction showed that compound 6a had similar properties to the commercial herbicide mesotrione. Molecular docking results showed that the interactions between 6a and AtHPPD were similar to mesotrione. Moreover, the extended aromatic ring system and the additional alkyl form more interactions with the surrounding residues. Examination of AtHPPD inhibition and herbicidal activity showed that 6a had similar inhibition values to mesotrione and had a superior inhibitory effect on Echinochloa crus-galli.
Use of Total Organic Carbon Analyzer in Isotherm Measurements of Co-Adsorption of VOCs and Water Vapor from the Air
Authors: Kešelj Dragana , Lazić Dragica , Petrović Zoran
Published: December 2022

The binary adsorption isotherms of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and water vapor from the air have been the focus of much research in recent years. The content of adsorbed VOCs in the presence of water vapor can be determined by the volumetric or gravimetric method, in a static or dynamic mode. This study focuses on the adsorption technique in a static mode for isotherm measurement of the co-adsorption of VOCs and water vapor from the air using the gravimetric method. The content of VOCs is determined using a total organic carbon analyzer, while the amount of the adsorbed water was calculated from the difference between total adsorption (VOCs and water) and the adsorbed VOCs. This paper presents several adsorption isotherms with different VOCs (toluene, benzene, methanol, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol) and adsorbents (ZSM-5 zeolite, silica gel and Na-Form mordernite) in the presence of water vapor. The well-known adsorption isotherm models (Langmuir, extended Langmuir, Freundlich, extended Freundlich and Hill) were used to treat experimental results. The adjusted R-Squared (adj. R2) values obtained for those non-linear models for isotherms (total adsorpton (qe,tot) as a function of equilibrium concentration of VOC (Ce) and the adsorbed VOC (qe) as a function of equilibrium concentration of VOC (Ce) are used to determine the best-fit isotherm model. The modeling results showed that the 3-parameter models could fit the data better than the 2-parameter model, with relatively higher adj. R2. Experimental results demonstrate that the presented adsorption technique can be used for isotherm measurement of the co-adsorption of VOCs and water vapor from the air.
B. burgdorferi enrichment from feeding ticks v1
Authors: Sapiro Anne
Published: December 2022

Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the causative agent of Lyme disease, must adapt to vastly different environments as the bacterium cycles between the tick vector and a vertebrate host. During a bloodmeal, Bb migrates from the tick midgut to the salivary glands and changes its gene expression, priming Bb for vertebrate infection. These tick-specific events are dependent on key transcriptional regulators; however, the full range of transcriptional changes that occur inside of the tick over the course of several days during transmission are technically difficult to capture. We developed an experimental approach to enrich Bb cells from Ixodes ticks during a transmitting bloodmeal to longitudinally define their global transcriptomic landscape. We identified 192 genes that change expression at least twofold over the course of the tick bloodmeal, which were predominantly located on plasmids of the Bb genome. The majority of upregulated genes encode proteins found at the cell envelope or proteins of unknown function, including 45 upregulated outer surface lipoproteins embedded in the unusual protein-rich coat of Bb. The ex vivo Bb transcriptomes provide an important roadmap for investigating key determinants of Bb priming and transmission during the tick stage of its unique transmission cycle.
The central role of the concept of person in psychological science
Authors: Lundh Lars-Gunnar
Published: December 2022

The first article in the present issue of JPOR is written by two pioneers in person-oriented research, John Nesselroade and Peter Molenaar. Among other things they argue that the individual is the primary unit of analysis for studying behaviour, and that this is in line with a growing emphasis on personalized diagnoses and treatment regimens in medicine, which reflects a renewed emphasis on focusing on the individual person. As was argued by Julia Moeller in a previous article in JPOR, however, psychological science seems to “lag behind” in this respect, with a concomitant risk of a credibility loss. One problem is that psychology still lack a coherent theoretical paradigm that places the person at the center of the stage. Some promising theoretical work on the concept of person has been carried out by researchers such as Mark Bickhard and Peter Ossorio, and it is possible that the future will see an increased cross-fertilization between (1) the theoretical development of a comprehensive model of the person and (2) methodological developments that facilitate the study of developmental processes at the level of the individual person.
On standardized measurement in behavioral science
Authors: Nesselroade John R. , Molenaar Peter C. M.
Published: December 2022

That standardized measurement procedures are a sine qua non of “good” science is generally not questioned. Here we examine the meaning and use of standardized measurement in behavioral science. Procedures and methods of measurement that have served the physical sciences so well should not blindly be assumed to work in the same manner and with the same effectiveness in behavioral science. There seems to be general agreement that social/behavioral science is “different” among the sciences. Problems arising from how behavioral science is “different” begin, we believe, with measurement. We put forward the argument that the source of the difference is unique to animate objects and is first evident at the stage of measuring the behavioral attributes of interest. It is at that point in conducting scientific inquiry that the matters raised might be resolved by developing and applying alternatives to standardized measurement. One such alternative discussed is the idiographic filter (Nesselroade, Gerstorf, Hardy, & Ram, 2007).

Objective. To develop practical recommendations, based on the best available evidence and experience, on the nursing management of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and interstitial lung disease (ILD).

Methods. The usual consensus methodology was used, with a nominal group, systematic reviews (SRs), and Delphi survey. The expert panel, consisting of rheumatology nurses, rheumatologists, a psychologist, a physiotherapist, and a patient, defined the scope, the users, the topics on which to explore the evidence and on which to issue recommendations.

Results. Three PICO questions evaluated the efficacy and safety of pulmonary rehabilitation and non-pharmacological measures for the treatment of chronic cough and gastroesophageal reflux by means of SR of the literature. With the results of the reviews, 15 recommendations were established for which the degree of agreement was obtained with a Delphi survey. Three recommendations were rejected in the second round. The 12 recommendations were in patient assessment (n=4); patient education (n=4); and risk management (n=4). Only one recommendation was based on available evidence, while the remaining were based on expert opinion. The degree of agreement ranged from 77% to 100%.

Conclusion. This document presents a series of recommendations with the aim of improving the prognosis and quality of life of patients with RA-ILD. Nursing knowledge and implementation of these recommendations can improve the follow-up and prognosis of patients with RA who present with ILD.

Se llevó a cabo a través de la caracterización de diferentes modos semióticos: lenguaje gestual-oral, visual y escrito. Se empleó un enfoque de investigación cualitativa de corte descriptivo y se identificó la función de los diferentes lenguajes a través de un análisis semiótico. El proceso de intervención se realizó a través de una unidad didáctica compuesta por tres momentos: 1) prueba diagnóstica de las ideas previas, 2) situaciones experimentales que demandaban el uso de diferentes modos semióticos y 3) prueba de diagnóstico final. El proceso de análisis de la información y las discusiones se presenta a través de un estudio de caso en profundidad de dos estudiantes. Dentro de los resultados más importantes se encuentra la potente interacción entre el lenguaje gestual-oral, visual y escrito y su contribución a la creación de significados. Además, el uso de recursos palpables y visuales como la maqueta y la incorporación de situaciones comunes al estudiante potencializó en los estudiantes el uso de diferentes modos con el fin de comunicar sus comprensiones frente a la temática. El lenguaje gestual-oral fue el lenguaje que más nos acercó al proceso de aprendizaje de los estudiantes.
Challenges in Embracing Virtual Reality from Healthcare Professional’s Perspective: A Qualitative Study
Authors:   Department of Emergency Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Jalan Yaacob Latiff, Bandar Tun Razak, 56000, Cheras Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Published: December 2022

Virtual reality (VR) in healthcare is relatively new concept and the views of healthcare professionals (HCPs) on its potential should be studied. We set out to investigate the perception of HCPs concerning VR’s feasibility and utility in healthcare. An exploratory qualitative study was conducted among HCPs in a medical teaching institution in the Klang Valley, Malaysia from March until July 2021. Focus group discussions were held using semi-structured questions consisting of four categories i.e., utility, training, development and resources and obstacles were developed deductively prior to the study. They were analysed using thematic coding. The data were presented in the form of categories, themes and quotes. Seven doctors, four allied health professionals and four science officers were among the fifteen respondents. A total of 16 themes were derived out of the four categories which were usage, purpose, new modality, individual experience, patient safety, trainer-trainer safety, training standardisation, logistic, interactivity, cost to consumers, potentiality, management support, limitation, funding, lack of expertise, and mindset ignorance. Apart from safety concerns, high VR technology costs were expected to become more affordable in the future. Cybersickness was also of a concern. This study demonstrated that VR was feasible in healthcare education and practice if several critical factors were considered, including increased funding, a more favourable mindset, increased visibility, awareness of available resources and increased collaboration between technical and subject matter experts. As VR acts as simulation, VR ensures trainee's, teacher's and patient's safety while allowing more flexible training in a variety of clinical scenarios.
National Theatre in My Kitchen: Access to Culture for Blind People in Poland During Covid-19
Authors: Dubiel Monika
Published: December 2022

This article reflects on the phenomenon of the virtualization of culture and its significance in providing accessibility to people with visual impairment. From this point of view, virtual culture becomes a space of negotiation between social inclusion and exclusion. By examining the experiences of participants in cultural events and the planners of such events, I try to identify possible advantages as well as dangers related to the process of transferring cultural life to the Internet. The scope of my research embraces accessible cultural events offered by selected institutions and non-governmental organizations in Poland. Research data was collected by interviewing both employees and participants of events with visual impairment. I have also drawn upon my own experiences as a blind admirer of culture and a worker in the sector of cultural accessibility. My main research question is: Does the virtualization of culture make events more accessible for people with visual impairment, or does it increase already-existing barriers? A further issue is explored—namely new solutions that are appearing in the accessible remote events on offer. The theoretical framework for this study includes accessibility studies and disability studies.

Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) is one of the most dangerous viruses of decorative orchids. Infection caused by this virus can reduce the phenotypic differences of orchids in collections, and as a result lead to their total exhaustion. In this study, the possible origin of the Ukrainian isolate of ORSV from the collection of O.V. Fomin Botanical Garden of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv was investigated. The properties of nucleotide sequences of the RNA-depended RNA-polymerase (RdRp) and coat protein gene of ORSV were examined. RNAs of ORSV isolated from leaves of Cymbidium hybridum from O.V. Fomin Botanical Garden’s collection were amplified through RT-PCR and sequenced. Obtained sequences were compared at the nucleotide level with ORSV isolates accessible within the GenBank. Phylogenetic examination appeared that the studied ORSV isolate may have a common root with a few South Korean isolates.

Authors: Garg Garima , Kumar Raman
Published: December 2022

Nowadays, computer technology is mostly concerned with storage capacity and performance. Compression of digital images has become a fundamental aspect of their transmission and storage. Due to storage and bandwidth constraints, it has become necessary to compress images before to transmission and storage. Not only can image compression techniques help to reduce storage space requirements, but they also aid increase transmission bandwidth. Color images are in trend these days during communication. Most of the researchers have worked only on grayscale images. This research proposes a hybrid approach that encompasses two cutting-edge picture compression algorithms: DCT & SVD. This research involves the advantages and strength of two cutting-edge picture compression algorithms that enable us to compress the color images without additional cost in computation, space and time. Here in this research, for experimental purposes, seam carving image dataset is used. The proposed method's performance is evaluated using the performance evaluation matrices, i.e., Size after Compression, MSE, PSNR, Normalized Co-relation (NC), Percentage Space-Saving, and Compression Ratio. The proposed method performance is also correlated with the two latest image compression techniques, i.e., DCT Block Truncation (DCTBT) and Discrete Cosine Transform - Vector Quantization (DCT-VQ). The findings show that the suggested hybrid color image compression approach is superior to existing compression according to different performance metrics.
HBMFTEFR: Design of a Hybrid Bioinspired Model for Fault-Tolerant Energy Harvesting Networks via Fuzzy Rule Checks
Authors: Lal Jaya Dipti , Thankachan Dolly
Published: December 2022

Designing energy harvesting networks requires modelling of energy distribution under different real-time network conditions. These networks showcase better energy efficiency, but are affected by internal & external faults, which increase energy consumption of affected nodes. Due to this probability of node failure, and network failure increases, which reduces QoS (Quality of Service) for the network deployment. To overcome this issue, various fault tolerance & mitigation models are proposed by researchers, but these models require large training datasets & real-time samples for efficient operation. This increases computational complexity, storage cost & end-to-end processing delay of the network, which reduces its QoS performance under real-time use cases. To mitigate these issues, this text proposes design of a hybrid bioinspired model for fault-tolerant energy harvesting networks via fuzzy rule checks. The proposed model initially uses a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to cluster nodes depending upon their residual energy & distance metrics. Clustered nodes are processed via Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) that assists in deploying a fault-tolerant & energy-harvesting process. The PSO model is further augmented via use of a hybrid Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) Model with Teacher Learner Based Optimization (TLBO), which assists in value-based fault prediction & mitigation operations. All bioinspired models are trained-once during initial network deployment, and then evaluated subsequently for each communication request. After a pre-set number of communications are done, the model re-evaluates average QoS performance, and incrementally reconfigures selected solutions. Due to this incremental tuning, the model is observed to consume lower energy, and showcases lower complexity when compared with other state-of-the-art models. Upon evaluation it was observed that the proposed model showcases 15.4% lower energy consumption, 8.5% faster communication response, 9.2% better throughput, and 1.5% better packet delivery ratio (PDR), when compared with recently proposed energy harvesting models. The proposed model also showcased better fault prediction & mitigation performance when compared with its counterparts, thereby making it useful for a wide variety of real-time network deployments.

The soil is the most fundamental component for the survival of any living thing that can be found on this planet. A little less than 41 percent of Indians are employed in agriculture, which accounts for approximately 19 percent of the country's gross domestic product. As is the case in every other industry, researchers and scientists in this one are exerting a lot of effort to enhance agricultural practices by utilising cutting-edge methods such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data, and so on. The findings of the study described in this paper are predicated on the assumption that the method of machine learning results in an improvement in the accuracy of the prediction of soil chemical characteristics. The correlations that were discovered as a result of this research are essential for comprehending the comprehensive approach to predicting the soil attributes using ML/DL models. A number of findings from previous study have been reported and analysed. A state of the art machine learning algorithm, including Logistic Regression, KNN, Support Vector Machine and Random Forest are implemented and compared. Additionally, the innovative Deep Learning Hybrid CNN-RF and VGG-RNN Model for Categorization of Soil Properties is also implemented along with CNN. An investigation into the significance of the selected category for nutritional categorization revealed that a multi-component technique provided the most accurate predictions. Both the CNN-RF and VGG-RNN models that were proposed were successful in classifying the soil with average accuracies of 95.8% and 97.9%, respectively, in the test procedures. A study was carried out in which the CNN-RF model, the VGG-RNN model, and five other machine learning and deep learning models were compared. The suggested VGG-RNN model achieved superior accuracy of classification and real-time durability, respectively.

Education for Peace and the Selection of a Literary Canon for War Remembrance
Authors: Aldridge David
Published: December 2022

'Peace forever' is a desirable curriculum aim for schools, and a legitimate principle for the selection of curriculum content. In this article I consider a tension between humanistic and hermeneutic motivations for the selection of a literary canon for educational purposes. I conclude that teachers do well to consider the selection of curriculum content within a broader context of moral and spiritual development, but this should be accompanied by letting go of the hope that a specific literary text or other curriculum object will transform a student in any particular or predetermined way. This insight applies to the presentation of war poetry but is also relevant to the project of character education more broadly.
