Clustering remote sensing images is an emerged topic that interests many researchers. Remote sensing images can have multi bands and high spatial resolution. Among a number of clustering algorithms such as KMeans, C-Means, Watersed, KMeans has been shown to be very performant. However, when applying on large size remote sensing images, converging speed of KMeans algorithm is still slow. Moreover, this algorithm considers only intensity based features and does not take context features of pixels into account. This leads to over/under segmentation. In this paper, we present two improvements on KMeans that we call WIKMeans and CIKMeans. The first improvement is on the initiation of seeds based on Wavelet transform. The second one is we integrate context information into feature vector. Both improvements help to decrease computational time while keeping comparable precision to the original algorithms.
Shareholder Ownership is Irrelevant for Shareholder Primacy

A COMMENTARY ON Alan Strudler (2017), “What to Do with Corporate Wealth?”, J Poli Philos 25(1): 108–126,

https://doi.org/10.1111/jopp.12106 

Strudler rejects shareholder primacy and argues that, once contractual obligations have been fulfilled and shareholders have received a reasonable return on investment, corporate executives may use corporate wealth for the general good. He seeks to establish this claim via an argument that, contrary to the received view, shareholders do not own corporations. After raising some questions about the latter argument, this commentary goes on to argue that the question of corporate ownership is a red herring. The argument for shareholder primacy that Strudler wants to reject does not rely on the premise that shareholders own the firm. 
ГЕНОМНА ІНФОРМАЦІЯ ЛЮДИНИ ТА ЇЇ ЗНАЧЕННЯ ДЛЯ ДНК-АНАЛІЗУ: ПРАВОВИЙ АСПЕКТ
Authors: Довгань Богдана Вікторівна , Міхайліна Тетяна Вікторівна
Published: April 2023

Метою дослідження є аналіз юридичної проблематики збирання, обробки та використання геномної інформації людини, виявлення співвідношення цього терміну із суміжними категоріями, а також внесення пропозицій щодо часткового вирішення зазначених питань. Методологічну основу наукової статті складають формально-юридичний метод, метод правової компаративістики, екстраполяція, кібернетичний та синергетичний методи дослідження, аналіз і синтез. Результатом дослідження став аналіз понять, суміжних до геномної інформації людини, а саме: ген, генетичні дані, персональні дані, біологічні дані, біометричні дані. Зроблено висновок, що в міжнародних документах та вітчизняних нормативних актах біометричні та генетичні дані сепаруються. Тому, попри схожість аналізованих понять за характерними ознаками, для уникнення порушення юридичної техніки в національному законодавстві, визначення геномної інформації людини як різновиду біологічних даних є недоцільним. Розширене тлумачення геномної інформації людини формулюється як: (1) персональні дані людини, (2) основним носієм яких є ДНК, (3) що містить відомості про розвиток та функціонування організму індивіда та (4) використовується для ідентифікації особи. Однак категорія «геномна інформація людини» не вживається в міжнародних актах. В аналізованому Законі не надається пояснень, у чому полягає особливість цього поняття, а отже, встановити відмінність нового терміну від усталених в законодавстві, наприклад, генетичних даних, неможливо. Тому питання необхідності виокремлення нової дефініції на правовому рівні України є дискусійним. Аналіз міжнародних документів та вітчизняних нормативних актів доводить, що доцільним є використання єдиної юридичної термінології – поняття «генетичні дані», яке має тотожне значення, що й геномна інформація людини. З’ясовано, що геномна дактилоскопія – це техніка ідентифікації людини. Сфера її застосування досить широка: кримінологія, цивільне судочинство, встановлення генеалогічного дерева, з’ясування особливостей спадкової інформації, схильності до захворювань тощо.

Financial Services by BigTech: Impacts and Opportunities for Islamic Banks
Authors: Nienhaus Volker , Musab Mohammed Muslehuddin
Published: April 2023

The emergence of BigTech companies in the financial services sector has raised concerns about their potential to disrupt traditional banking and establish their own financial institutions. This research investigates the extent of BigTechs' activities in payments and finance and explores their intentions in disrupting the banking sector. The study adopts a qualitative methodology to critically analyse market reports and credible market intelligence websites and official websites of news agencies. The findings reveal that BigTechs' activities are selective and aimed at supporting their core businesses in commerce, technology, advertising, and social media, rather than disrupting banking. However, their involvement in Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) financing poses a challenge to retail banks, prompting Islamic banks to establish their own BNPL facilities. Procedural complexities related to Sharīʿah compliant structuring can be addressed using financial technologies like smart contracts and payment gateways. Islamic banks could also collaborate with FinTechs to create frequently used Muslim lifestyle apps or super apps that offer embedded finance for the ḥalāl economy. The study concludes that Islamic banks should consider these opportunities to meet the younger customers' mobile shopping and social media communication habits.

ERGONOMICS AS A SAFETY FACTOR IN THE RAILWAY INDUSTRY
Authors: Vorozhbiian M. , Brusentsov V. , Ivashchenko M. , Skrypnyk O.
Published: April 2023

Railway transport is a huge energetic system, the functioning of which is determined by the coordinated work of thousands of employees of various specialties, including dispatchers and locomotive drivers. In the "man-technical system-production environment" system, a person is the "weakest link", determining the reliability and safety of the system's functioning as a whole.
Studies show that the driver's work in conditions of high-speed traffic involves a high level of stress on the nervous analyzers, as well as the functions of memory and attention, which leads to their rapid fatigue. The level of fatigue obtained as a result of the work shift is unacceptable for most workers, monitoring the level of functional reliability of the worker can be an effective means of combating accumulated fatigue.
The problems of ensuring the normal life of workers in dangerous professions in modern social and industrial conditions are caused primarily by the intense influence of negative social, professional and other factors that cause the development of adverse mental states and overstrain of psychophysiological functions. All this creates stressful situations, both in society in general and for every person. Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned stresses, an important place in the activity of a human operator is occupied by professional stress, which is constantly present.
The systemic impact of stress has both an immediate and remote nature. Experimental studies have established that it reduces the level of functional reliability of the "human operator". Such states include, first of all, fatigue, stress and borderline states (between health and illness). Such indicators can be an indicator of high danger of such a relevant phenomenon for the transport industry as sudden ischemic death.
A distinction is made between the slow and operational components of performance, while the slow (trend) does not change for a long time (month, years), and the operational (functional state) changes in the form of "peaks", "declines" or a relatively flat "plateau" during hours.
It follows from this that in order to maintain the appropriate level of safety of the transport process, it is necessary to implement control of the level of efficiency of railway operators, including its trending part, taking into account the presence of constant stresses today. It is necessary to conduct monitoring as a prediction of early diagnosis of changes in the functional state of operators, and therefore the state of professional reliability.
Keywords: safety, ergonomics, diagnostics, professional reliability, level of functional reliability, trend component.
RESEARCH OF THE AERODYNAMIC PROCESS OF CARBON DUST REMOVAL FROM THE WORKING ZONE

Published: April 2023

The purpose of this work is research of the aerodynamic process of carbon dust removal from the working zone in order to create safe and harmless working conditions at the production site.
As a result of the research, an aerodynamic calculation of a long air duct of uniform suction with tangential air intake was performed. The degree of twisting of the air flow inside the air duct, as well as the uniformity of air suction along the length of the long suction, were determined. A number of factors affecting the dust removal process have been established, such as suction torch long suction; coefficient of local suction resistance; forces of inertia and viscosity on the resistance of local suction. The dependence of the ratio of the width of the entrance hole to the diameter of the air duct on the local suction resistance, the dependence of the ratio of the areas of the entrance gap and the cross section of the transitional air duct on the local suction resistance, as well as the effect of the length of the entrance slot on the coefficient of local suction resistance were determined. The efficiency of suction of dust particles with an extended suction unit with tangential air entry has been proven.
For a more accurate analysis of the distance at which an extended extractor with tangential air intake can be placed relative to the dust source, it is necessary to conduct a dispersed dust analysis. For effective capture of specific dust, calculations should be based on the size of the dust, which occupies a larger share in the distribution of fractions. The smaller the dust particle, the further the suction device can be located.
To visualize the experimentally obtained results, simulation was performed in the FlowVision software in accordance with the mathematically calculated initial data.
During the simulation of the movement of dusty air in an extended extractor with a tangential entry into the system, the occurrence of swirling of the air flow has been proven. Due to this formation, the largest fractions of dust will move along the walls of the air duct. This makes it possible to use extended extractors to remove coarse fractions of dust contained in polluted air, organizing the removal of air moving near the walls of the air duct.
Keywords: carbon dust, aerodynamic calculation, engineering simulation, occupational diseases, occupational health.

Published: April 2023

The article examines the problems of financial control, which are most closely related to the general problems of control activity, the purpose of which is to identify the results of the regulatory influence of the subject on the object, in the determination of deviations from the established control indicators and their assessment. Based on the study of many studies, the common features and differences of the conceptual apparatus of state financial control and state financial audit were defined and clarified. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the vagueness of concepts and the contradiction of reasoning on this issue hinder the creation of a coherent and effective system of control over the management of state finances, which hinders the implementation of the intended strategic programs of the country's development. The need to strengthen the coordination of state audit and state financial control and joint planning of the activities of control bodies for violators is substantiated, but so that this does not interfere with the work of normal enterprises. The result of this is the need to introduce audit into the practice of the bodies that are part of the state financial control system, improve its methodology, and deepen contacts with independent audit organizations. It was determined that in order for the ideas of the state audit and the relevant institution to take root in domestic economic practice, it is necessary to carry out deep changes in the worldview, people's ideas about the proper organization of the government system, about the principles of the relationship between the individual, society and the state, the formation of new economic institutions that able to regulate the relationships of various business entities. It is noted that the principles of organization, content and powers of the state audit are in each individual country the historical result of a conscious choice and legislative consolidation of positive international experience gained in the field of public finance management. a clear system of state financial control will be built.

Published: April 2023

Anthracnose, caused by the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. and Magnus) Briosi and Cavara, is a major disease affecting the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), potentially causing yield losses of up to 100%. Utilizing resistant cultivars is the most effective approach for disease control. This study aimed to characterize the genetic resistance of two cultivars, TU and Michigan Dark Red Kidney (MDRK), to anthracnose. Inheritance tests were performed on F2:3 families from the TU (R) × AND 277 (S) cross using C. lindemuthianum race 3, and on F2:3 families from the crosses TU (R) × Kaboon (S) and TU (R) × Perry Marrow (S) inoculated with race 39. Inoculation with three races of C. lindemuthianum showed that MDRK carried the allele of the Co-1 locus. However, inoculation of F2:3 families from the MDRK × TU cross with race 1545 revealed that MDRK's resistance to this race is conditioned by two dominant genes (Co-1 allele on Pv01 and another allele on Pv04). Segregation results from inheritance tests using F2:3 families with the TU resistant cultivar fitted to a 1RR:2RS:1SS ratio, indicating the presence of a single dominant gene in the TU cultivar. Both the Mesoamerican TU and the Andean MDRK cultivars represent valuable sources of resistance to C. lindemuthianum and can be incorporated into common bean breeding programs to enhance disease resistance.

A presente pesquisa é resultado de um estudo exploratório, a partir de uma discussão teórica sobre a inclusão digital na contemporaneidade. Para isso, levou-se em consideração os aspectos teórico e prático-político da inclusão digital. O intuito foi compreender a possível relação entre a inserção da tecnologia no ambiente escolar e a inclusão digital e suas implicações para a inclusão social. A análise evidencia que diante da não neutralidade da tecnologia e do contexto de vivermos na sociedade do capital, a inserção no ambiente escolar por si só não é suficiente para implementar a inclusão digital e, principalmente, impactar por si a inclusão social. O fato é que há um paradoxo entre os reais interesses de implementação das tecnologias nas escolas, as políticas de inclusão digital e a redução das desigualdades sociais.

ABSTRACT
This research is the result of an exploratory study, based on a theoretical discussion about digital inclusion in contemporary times. For this, the theoretical and practical-political aspects of digital inclusion were taken into account. The aim was to understand the possible relationship between the insertion of technology in the school environment and digital inclusion and its implications for social inclusion. The analysis shows that given the non-neutrality of technology and the context of living in a capital society, insertion in the school environment alone is not enough to implement digital inclusion and, above all, to impact social inclusion. The fact is that there is a paradox between the real interests of implementing technologies in schools, digital inclusion policies and the reduction of social inequalities.

Materi Sejarah Indonesia yang disajikan dalam buku teks sejarah belum menunjukkan perubahan signifikan hingga saat ini. Narasi didalamnya didominasi peristiwa besar dengan tokoh besar yang berperan di baliknya. Guru pun hanya menjelaskan narasi tersebut di dalam kelas. Fenomena ini juga terjadi di kalangan guru MGMP Sejarah Kabupaten Lumajang. Salah satu upaya untuk menjadikan sejarah lebih menarik dan tidak membosankan adalah menggali sejarah tematik di tingkat daerah, dalam hal ini kawasan Lumajang Jawa Timur. Sejarah tematik yang dimaksud yaitu narasi sejarah bertema mikro, lokal, dan unik untuk memahami masa lalu Lumajang. Metode yang digunakan adalah Participatory Action Research (PAR) yang terdiri dari 5 tahap, yaitu: (1) persiapan, (2) sosialisasi dan pelatihan, (3) FGD, (4) monitoring, dan (5) evaluasi. Hasil dari pengabdian ini menunjukkan bahwa guru sejarah mampu melakukan penelitian dan penulisan bahan ajar sejarah tematik yang dibuktikan dengan terbitnya book chapter ber-ISBN berjudul Kawasan Lumajang dalam Kajian Sejarah Tematik. Pengabdian ini juga memberikan kontribusi terhadap penulisan historiografi sejarah Kabupaten Lumajang dalam lingkup tematik dan mikro yang dapat digunakan sebagai pelengkap buku teks sejarah.

‘Skip the warts’: Personal Branding and Pornification inThe Look of Love
Authors: Robinson Matthew
Published: April 2023

As the owner of the Raymond Revuebar in Soho and as publisher of pornographic magazines, British businessman and property magnate Paul Raymond had a lasting impact on British culture. The Look of Love seeks to assess that impact in its dramatisation of his life. The biopic locates Raymond as an early exponent of ‘personal branding’ via scenes which depict his flair for public relations and his crafting of a public image emphasising wealth and luxury. It also critiques this process, suggesting that his commitment to personal branding leads him to commodify those closest to him, among them his former wife, girlfriend and daughter. Where typically the juxtaposition between the public and private self has been utilised in biopics in order to convey a figure’s personality, The Look of Love exploits actor Steve Coogan’s associations with impersonation to rework this convention: the film suggests that even in supposedly private moments, Raymond was always seeking to impress an audience via his recreations of iconic film characters. But just as Raymond is represented as committed to this branding project, exploiting those around him to consolidate it, the film itself commits to this version of his life at the expense of others: namely, how Raymond’s ventures and activities were critical in what has been called the developing ‘pornification’ of British society. It is telling that the film includes a sequence in which Raymond instructs a prospective female model to ‘skip the warts’ when recounting her life story: there are warts which the film itself leaves unexamined.

Published: April 2023

Background

The incidence, clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment patterns, and survival of early-onset pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (EOPanNENs) have not been well explored.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with PanNENs were identified from the SEER database between 2000 and 2018. EOPanNENs were defined as diagnosis in patients aged less than 50 years, while the remaining were defined as later-onset pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (LOPanNENs). Incidence, clinical features, management, and prognosis were analyzed in our study. Multivariable analyses were performed to identify factors associated with overall survival (OS) in EOPanNENs and LOPanNENs, respectively.

Results

A total of 5172 patients with PanNENs were included: 1267 (24.5%) in the EOPanNENs cohort and 3905 (75.5%) in the LOPanNENs cohort. The age-adjusted incidence rate significantly increased among later-onset cases, while it remained relatively stable in early-onset cases. EOPanNENs were more frequently to be female, unmarried, and with better tumor differentiation compared with LOPanNENs. Of note, early-onset patients presented with a higher rate of lymph node involvement, and they were more likely to receive surgical treatment. For local-regional disease at presentation, surgery alone was the most frequently used regimen over the last two decades. With regard to distant stage, a combination of surgery and chemotherapy was more often utilized. Risk factors for PanNENs survival were more correlated with LOPanNENs compared with EOPanNENs. The OS and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were significantly better in the EOPanNENs group. Further analyses showed that EOPanNENs ≤ 2cm were associated with more favorable survival outcomes than EOPanNENs>2cm.

Conclusion

EOPanNENs are a clinically rare and distinct entity from LOPanNENs. The advantages in survival for the EOPanNENs cohort over time were largely driven by the indolent clinical courses including better tumor differentiation and intensified surgical treatment. Further investigations are warranted to better understand the characteristics of this disease subgroup.
Does digital economy development reduce carbon emission intensity?
Authors: Lyu Yanfang , Zhang Leifeng , Wang Dong
Published: April 2023

Carbon emissions from human activities are the main cause of climate warming. Under the background of economic and social digital transformation, accurately assessing the carbon emission reduction effect of the development of the digital economy is of great significance for countries to deal with climate warming in the post-COVID-19 era. This paper constructs a dynamic evaluation model of orthogonal projection to measure the level of digital economy development at the provincial level in China from 2007 to 2019. On this basis, the panel fixed effects model and mediation model are used to empirically test the impact of digital economy development on carbon emission intensity and its mechanism. The results indicate that: (1) The development of China’s digital economy is unbalanced among regions, showing a geospatial pattern of decreasing from east to west. (2) China’s carbon emission intensity has a trend of decreasing year by year, and there are geospatial differences of “high in the west and low in the east” and “high in the north and low in the south.” (3) The digital economy development can effectively reduce regional carbon emission intensity through industrial structure optimization effect and resource allocation effect, and the industrial structure optimization effect can suppress carbon emission intensity more obviously. (4) The development of digital economy in different regions has different degrees of reducing carbon emission intensity. The development of digital economy in the eastern region has a stronger inhibitory effect on carbon emission intensity than that in the middle and western regions, and the development of digital economy in economically developed regions can suppress carbon emission intensity more. This paper provides enlightenment for policy makers to deal with climate warming.

Introduction

The treatment for relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL) is suboptimal. This open-label, multicenter, single-arm study aimed to investigate the antitumor activity and safety of camrelizumab (a PD-1 blockade) plus apatinib (an antiangiogenic agent) for patients with r/r PTCL.

Methods

Eligible patients with r/r PTCL were enrolled and received camrelizumab 200 mg intravenously every 2 weeks and apatinib 500 or 250 mg orally once daily, 4 weeks as a cycle. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR).

Results

A total of 20 patients were enrolled and received study medications in the study, with a median number of prior treatment line of 3 (range 1-6). At the cutoff date of March 4, 2022, the median follow-up was 27.2 months (range: 0.5-39.9), and three patients remained on treatment. Six patients had early discontinuation without tumor response evaluation. For all patients, the ORR was 30% (6/20) (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.9% to 54.3%), with two patients (10%) achieving complete response. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and median overall survival for all patients were 5.6 months (95% CI, 1.8 to not reached) and 16.7 months (95% CI, 2.8 to not reached), respectively. Patients with PD-L1 expression ≥50% (3 patients) had a numerically higher ORR and longer median PFS than those with PD-L1 expression < 50% (5 patients). The most commonly reported grade 3 or higher adverse events were hyperlipidemia (15%), hypokalemia (15%) and anemia (15%). No treatment-related deaths occurred.

Discussion

In this study, PD-1 inhibitors plus low-dose antiangiogenic drugs presented preliminary antitumor activity and manageable toxicity in patients with r/r PTCL.

Background

Canceling elective surgeries is a significant problem in many hospitals leading to patient dissatisfaction, increased costs, and emotional trauma for patients and their families. Despite this, there is limited information about the cancellation of elective surgeries in Ethiopia, mainly in the study area.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the magnitude of cancellation and associated factors among patients scheduled for elective surgeries in public hospitals in the Harari Regional State, Eastern Ethiopia, from 1 August to 30 August 2021.

Methods

A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 378 patients scheduled for elective surgeries. Data were gathered using a non-random sequential sampling approach. In addition, a structured face-to-face interviewer-administered questionnaire was employed. The gathered information was input into Epidata version 3.1 and then exported to Statistical Package for Social Software version 26. To find the variables associated with the cancellation of elective surgeries, binary and multi-variable logistic regression analyses were conducted. In the binary analysis, all variables with a p-value of less than 0.25 were included in the multivariable analysis. Finally, a 0.05 p-value with a 95% confidence interval and an adjusted odds ratio was used to declare a significant association.

Results

This study included 378 patients scheduled for elective surgeries. Among those, 35.2% of the surgeries were canceled (95% confidence interval: 29.4–39.6). Being female (adjusted odds ratio: 2.46; 95% confidence interval: 1.44–4.203), lack of formal education (adjusted odds ratio: 2.03; 95% confidence interval: 1.15–3.58), place of residence (adjusted odds ratio: 1.70; 95% confidence interval: 1.03–2.81), increase in blood pressure (adjusted odds ratio: 5.09; 95% confidence interval:1.90–13.59), and ophthalmologic surgery (adjusted odds ratio: 3.76; 95% confidence interval: 1.41–10.0) were factors associated with the cancellation of elective surgeries.

Conclusion

In this study, nearly one third of scheduled elective surgery was canceled. The primary contributing variables to the surgery cancellations were being female, lack of formal education, place of residence, ophthalmologic surgery, and increased blood pressure. Therefore, timely evidence-based reporting through the supervision team was advised to decrease cancellations.
