Purpose. The purpose of the research is to study the ecological zoning of natural landscapes of the northeastern slope of the Lesser Caucasus. Method. During the writing of the article, historical, cartographic, mathematical-statistical, comparative analysis methods were used. The northeastern slope of the Lesser Caucasus was chosen as the research object Result. In the article, as a result of the research conducted for the ecological zoning of the natural landscapes of the North-Eastern slope of the Lesser Caucasus, the changes in the structural and functional characteristics of the natural landscape units of the area and the areas where they spread due to natural and anthropogenic influences were studied, landscape complexes were grouped according to the degree of anthropogenic transformation, new landscape types formed in the place of natural landscapes were investigated. At the same time, the main natural landscapes of the area, tugay forest-meadow-shrub landscapes, semi-desert landscapes, dry-desert landscapes, have changed their borders as a result of anthropogenic effects, and new areas where they spread have been studied. Opinions were discussed about the important role of determining a number of aspects of landscape-ecological zoning diagnostics, in revealing the future development trends of individual landscape units. Taking into account the relevance and modernity of the topic, a number of scientific-theoretical and methodological issues of landscape-ecological zoning for the region were analyzed in the area where the research was conducted. The basis of the work is that settlements and their functional farm areas are characterized by relatively high density in the immediate flat areas, terraced alluvial plains of river valleys, mountain depressions and smooth surface plains and the approximately equal distribution of settlements in the Ganja-Gazakh sloping plain throughout the territory, since the climate, lithological and hydrological conditions in the south-eastern part of the territory have changed sharply, the relatively low water supply in the location of settlements is a social and ecological problem, and therefore the location of settlements in the area along the river banks. Scientific novelity. Based on the ecological zoning of landscapes in the area, it is analyzed that the correct assessment of their ecological potential, the preparation of appropriate zones and belts, the assessment of geoecological potential by dividing into zones taking into account the ecogeographical potential of the natural landscapes of the region and anthropogenic loading, is of great scientific and theoretical importance.

Published: November 2024

In the process of Electrochemical Machining (ECM), the electrolyte renewal is likely to be poor as the machining gap is too narrow, so that the machining accuracy and surface quality are influenced, especially in the electrochemical trepanning of special structures, such as the rectangular groove with inner cylinder. As the flow field in the machining gap is difficult to be uniform, the machining quality is low and the cylindrical taper angle is large. Based on the abovementioned difficulties in ECM process, this study used ECM with mask and ECM with tool sinking, as well as the methods with and without ultrasonic vibration assisted sidewall-insulated electrodes, to conduct a comparative experiment on the electrochemical trepanning of rectangular groove with inner cylindrical structure for SUS304 stainless steel cylindrical workpieces. This study also discussed the effects of different ECM trepanning processing methods on the quality characteristics, such as cylindrical taper angle and surface morphology. The research results showed that in comparison to the ECM with mask, ECM with tool sinking had a smaller cylindrical taper angle and better surface morphology. When the ultrasonic vibration assistance was used for ECM with tool sinking, the uniformity of the flow field was improved. The electrolyte pressure changed rapidly in the processing area with the ultrasonic vibration assistance, resulting in pumping effect and cavitation effect, both of which disturbed the electrolyte, and promoted the renewal of the electrolyte in the machining gap. As a result, the resistance within the machining area is reduced, a smaller cylindrical taper angle was obtained, and the flow marks at the bottom of the rectangular groove were significantly reduced. Moreover, the surface morphology and surface roughness of the rectangular groove with inner cylinder after processing were better.
When nature takes over. Towards a borderless community in the example of the story "Die Rückeroberung" by Franz Hohler
Authors: Czudek Natalia
Published: November 2024

Im Hinblick auf globale Veränderungen wird in dem Artikel die Entstehung einer Gemeinschaft von Menschen mit nicht-menschlichen Akteuren in Franz Hohlers Kurzgeschichte "Die Rückeroberung" (1982) untersucht, wobei zugleich die anthropozentrische Perspektive zu hinterfragen ist. Hohler präsentiert in seinem Text ein Bild von Zürich, das von Tieren und Pflanzen dominiert wird, was zu Reflexionen über das gemeinsame städtische Leben führt und zum Nachdenken über soziale Beziehungen und Artengrenzen anregt. Vor diesem Hintergrund analysiert der Beitrag anhand der Ökokritik und der Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie von Bruno Latour die Subjektivität des Menschen, die handelnden Kräfte in Netzwerken sowie die Beziehungen zwischen Gemeinschaftsmitgliedern. Dabei wird der Einfluss nicht-menschlicher Akteure auf die Wirklichkeit betont und die Zusammenhänge zwischen verschiedenen Aktanten hervorgehoben, um zu verdeutlichen, dass der Mensch nicht der einzige Handlungsträger ist.
Linguistic analysis of emotions on the example of the Polish and German tabloid press
Authors: Kowalewski Sławomir
Published: November 2024

Der Beitrag präsentiert Ergebnisse einer Analyse von Emotionen, die hauptsächlich auf den Annahmen der Diskurslinguistik und zum Teil auch der Medienlinguistik basiert. Im Fokus des Beitrags steht die Frage, wie Emotionen mittels Zeichen bzw. Zeichenkomplexe in Texten medialer Diskurse in Polen und Deutschland konstruiert, manifestiert und generiert werden, aber auch wie sie diese Diskurse formieren und Wirklichkeit (z. B. die deutsch-polnischen Relationen) mitgestalten können. Die Analyse von Emotionen ist ein relativ bekanntes und schnell wachsendes Phänomen, das seinen Ansatz in vielen Bereichen der Wissenschaft hat. Im sprachlichen Kontext von Medien und Diskursen analysiert die deutsche Emotionsforschung den Affekt jedoch eher selten. Deswegen gilt dieser Untersuchungsbereich als relativ unerforscht bzw. forschungsbedürftig. Die Analyse bezieht sich auf Texte aus der polnischen und deutschen Boulevardpresse, wobei die angeführten Beispiele in den meisten Fällen auf gesamteuropäische Diskursereignisse zurückgreifen, die über ein starkes Affektpotenzial verfügen.

Patient condition monitoring is essential at every stage of the treatment and diagnostic process. During treatment, the key tasks of monitoring include evaluating the effectiveness of treatment strategies and ensuring safety, specifically by avoiding complications and adverse effects from medications, procedures, or their combinations. To enhance doctor-patient interactions and improve treatment quality, intelligent monitoring tools are needed. These tools must use patient data and formalized knowledge of the subject area to identify which observations, at specific times, can indicate any deviation of the patient's condition from expected outcomes.This study aims to develop an ontology that formalizes the knowledge necessary for selecting and explaining monitoring parameters throughout treatment. Key concept rela-tionships that address the challenges of monitoring patient conditions during treatment are identified, leading to an on-tological graph for a specific class of medical monitoring issues. The study describes a method for building knowledge graphs applicable to various diseases and a reasoning process to identify unexpected conditions. A process of reasoning and the resulting recommendation is presented. This approach establishes a foundation for a decision support system tailored to this class of problems, where monitoring parameters can be adapted according to treatment stage, patient condition, and individual characteristics.
On machine learning, myths about General AI, and what understanding is
Authors:   Institute of Control Sciences of Russian Academy of Sciences, Kuznetsov O.P.
Published: November 2024

The first part of the article discusses the book The Myth of Artificial Intelligence by American scientist and entrepre-neur E. Larson, which focuses on debunking some myths about artificial intelligence. These myths, which have persist-ed for over half a century, suggest that the emergence of human-like ("general") AI and eventually superintelligence is inevitable, occurring naturally as AI systems evolve. The book criticizes these myths in two ways: scientific and social. It is shown that machine learning does not lead to general AI, and the myth of AI makes human potential look weaker. The second part of the article considers the problem of understanding. The concept of cognitive semantics is proposed, based on the ideas of J. Lakoff, S. Pinker, A. Damasio and A. Seth. In particular, it is noted that: understanding is an interpretation in terms of a person’s picture of the world; the picture of the world is constructed by our brain, and it is structured through the categorization of human experience; meanings (senses) are formed earlier than conceptual structures are formed; biological goals underlie meanings; not only the brain but also the body participates in cognitive processes, and understanding is associated with actions in the environment, knowledge of which is contained in the picture of the world. The article concludes by pointing out dead ends, difficulties and dangers on the path to general AI.

In the information society, as the scope of human activity expands and deepens, continuous formalisation occurs, underpinned by ontological models of technical and natural systems. The user's perception of comprehensive information about a complex subject area leads to information overload. This situation encourages the use of algorithms that present information in a compressed form. The paper introduces modified indicators and qualitative criteria to estimate the potential for errors in compressing subject area information, as well as evaluate the anthropometric nature of the interface using threshold values set by experts, both for artificial intelligence algorithms and users. A method is proposed for quantitatively assessing the anthropological impact of application-level interfaces during the design stage of hardware and software. The method consists of eight stages, which assess the comprehensibility of the hardware and software interface for both artificial intelligence algorithms and users. This approach reduces the likelihood of developing destructive hardware and software systems.

Published: November 2024

The design of information models in the development of automated systems involves constructing entity-relationship models, which define classes of entities and interclass relationships of the ancestor-descendant type, serving as a conceptual and ontological foundation for the subsequent creation of databases. This article explores aspects of representing the semantic constraints of the subject area imposed on relationships between entities in entity-relationship models. A special type of relationship between classes of entities, termed multiple ancestor (MA) relations, is highlighted, where several instances of the ancestor entity may exist for a single instance of the descendant entity. The article analyses the possible semantic constraints that arise in such cases and the anomalies they generate. Based on the introduced concepts of ascending kinship lines and the MA predicate, a formalisation of MA integrity is presented. Examples of formal MA constraints are provided, including positive (requiring the coincidence of ancestor instances), negative (requiring the mismatch of ancestor instances), and mixed. The mutual influence of several MA constraints with partially intersecting lines of ascending kinship is also examined. Finally, the feasibility of implementing MA constraints in relational database models is evaluated.

The article outlines an approach and software tool for the automated enrichment of domain-oriented knowledge graphs with new facts derived from semantically annotated tabular data. For semantic annotation of table columns, a combination of three heuristic methods is proposed, leveraging named entity recognition in cells, lexical matching, and feature grouping. This approach is implemented as a dedicated handler within the Talisman software platform. An example and experimental evaluation of the approach during the semantic annotation of columns are provided using a test set of tabular data across six thematic categories: "organization employees," "open vacancies," "car model market," "famous scientists," "book sales," and "tennis player rankings." Evaluation metrics included precision, recall, and F-measure, with final results across all six categories as follows: precision - 79%, recall- 63%, F-measure - 70%. These results highlight the potential of the developed approach for enriching domain-oriented knowledge graphs with new facts from semantically annotated tabular data. The limitations of the proposed approach are also discussedfrom semantically annotated tabular data. The paper also provides a number of limitations of the proposed approach.

The article addresses the development of data collection technologies and the complexities that challenge this process. Methods for focusing at various levels are discussed, ranging from managing scanning boundaries to leveraging diverse properties of web pages. Here, the term "focusing" is used to accurately reflect the specific characteristics of targeted data collection and processing of open social media data. This process is multi-stage, employing adaptive control mechanisms that adjust dynamically toward the specified objective. During control, these defined constraints are either narrowed or broadened to align with the target goal. The article also presents insights from the design of an information system’s architecture and software, enabling automated, focused collection and processing of open social media data.

Published: November 2024

The article discusses the development of an ontology for the subject area using a shell-and-tube heat exchanger as an example. This ontology enables the selection of the type of heat exchanger (fixed tube sheets, compensator, U-shaped tubes) based on the coolant (ammonia, methanol), heat exchange process conditions (pressure, temperature), and the geometric parameters of the heat exchanger (device diameter). The ontology is designed for use in the hardware design phase of chemical-engineering systems. A functional model is presented that outlines the key stages and information flows in the hardware design of chemical-engineering systems. Each design stage utilises an information model, converting the input information flow into an output one. The article describes an information model for selecting the type of heat exchanger, represented by production rules, which includes operators for determining the material of the heat exchanger elements based on the coolant, material-specific design, and the type of heat exchanger. A prototype of the described information model is implemented in the Protégé ontology editor. The ontology and an example query for determining the type of heat exchanger for a given coolant and heat exchange process parameters are provided. The data for creating the ontology are sourced from regulatory design documents. The article concludes that an ontological approach is feasible for creating "smart" design documents, including standards and technical specifications comprehensible to both humans and computers.
Dynamics of a two-qubit Tavis-Cummings model in the presence of an Ising-type interaction between qubits
Authors:   Samara National Research University, Bashkirov E.K.
Published: November 2024

In this paper, we investigated the dynamics of entanglement of two qubits interacting non-resonantly with the thermal field of a one-mode lossless resonator, taking into account the Ising-type direct interaction between qubits. Based on the exact solution of the quantum Liouville equation, we found the density matrix of the system under consideration. With its help, the reduced qubit-qubit density matrix was calculated and the entanglement criteriоn of the two-qubit system, Pres-Horodeсki parameter, was found. It was shown that for the resonance model and separable initial states of qubits, the direct interaction of qubits leads to a significant increase in the maximum degree of their entanglement. It was also found that for the nonresonant interaction between qubits and field, the increase of the maximum degree of entanglement of qubits is much greater than that due to direct interaction. For the original entangled Bell-type state of the qubits, the direct interaction was found to lead to the vanishing of the effect of the sudden death of entanglement in the case of a resonant qubit-field interaction and, conversely, to an increase in this effect for a nonresonant interaction.

This paper examines a presentation attack when a color photo of a gray copy of a document is presented instead of the original color document during remote user identification. To detect such an attack, we propose an algorithm based on the comparison of chromaticity histograms of presented color images of the document and the ideal template of this type of document. The chromaticity histograms of the original document and the template are expected to be quite identical, while the histograms of the gray copy of the document and the template would be different. The algorithm was tested on images from the open dataset DLC-2021, which contains color images of synthesized identity documents and color images of their gray copies. The precision of the proposed method was 98.99 %, the recall was 84.7 %, that gave 8 times fewer errors than the baseline provided by authors of DLC-2021.
Monitored reconstruction improved by post-processing neural network
Authors:   Moscow State University, Yamaev A.V. ,   Smart Engines Service LLC
Published: November 2024

Computed tomography (CT) is widely utilized for analyzing internal structures, but the limitations of traditional reconstruction algorithms, which often require a large number of projections, restrict their effectiveness in time-critical tasks or for biological objects studying. Recently Monitored reconstruction approach was proposed for reducing the requirement of dose load. In this paper, there were investigated the advantages of using post-processing neural networks within a monitored reconstruction approach. Three algorithms, namely FBP, FBPConvNet, and LRFR, are evaluated based on their mean count of projections required for the achievement of target reconstruction accuracy. A novel training method specifically designed for neural network algorithms within the Monitored reconstruction framework is proposed. It is shown that the use of the LRFR approach allows one to achieve both a reduction in the number of measured projections and an improvement in the reconstruction accuracy over a certain range of stopping rules. These findings highlight the significant potential of neural networks to be used in the Monitored reconstruction approach.

Binary neural networks (BNNs) have gained attention due to their computational efficiency. However, training BNNs has proven to be challenging. Existing algorithms either fail to produce stable and high-quality results or are overly complex for practical use. In this paper, we introduce a novel quantizer called UBQ (Uncertainty-based quantizer) for BNNs, which combines the advantages of existing methods, resulting in stable training and high-quality BNNs even with a low number of trainable parameters. We also propose a training method involving gradual network freezing and batch normalization replacement, facilitating a smooth transition from training mode to execution mode for BNNs. To evaluate UBQ, we conducted experiments on the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets and compared our method to existing algorithms. The results demonstrate that UBQ outperforms previous methods for smaller networks and achieves comparable results for larger networks.

Published: November 2024

The quality of wavefront conjugation in the case of six-wave interaction in two-dimensional multimode waveguides with Kerr nonlinearity is analyzed under the condition that one of the pump waves excites a zero waveguide mode and the amplitude distribution of the other pump wave at the waveguide end facet varies according to the Gauss law. It is shown that in a waveguide with infinitely conducting walls, the half-width of the modulus of the point spread function of a six-wave radiation converter is completely determined by the transverse size of the waveguide and weakly depends on the width of the Gaussian pump wave. In a parabolic-index profile waveguide, a decrease in the width of the Gaussian pump wave at the waveguide ends commonly leads to a monotonic decrease in the half-width of the point spread function modulus.

Topic of the paper. Bounded stationary (i.e. independent in time) spatially one-dimensional solutions of a quasilinear parabolic PDE are studied on the whole real line. Its stationary solutions are described by a nonlinear ODE of the sixth order of the Euler–Lagrange–Poisson type and therefore can be transformed to the Hamiltonian system with three degrees of freedom being in addition reversible with respect two linear involutions. The system has three symmetric equilibria, two of them are hyperbolic in some region of the parameter plane. Goal of the paper. In this paper we, combining methods of dynamical systems theory and numerical simulations, investigate the orbit behavior near the symmetric heteroclinic connection based on these equilibria. It was found both simple (periodic) and complicated orbit behavior. To this end we use the theorem on a global center manifold near the heteroclinic connection. For the third symmetric equilibrium at the origin we found the region in the parameter plane where this equilibrium is of the saddle-focus-center type and found the existence of its homoclinic orbits, long-periodic orbits near homoclinic orbits and orbits with complicated structure.
Biomedical Engineering Literature: Advanced Reading Skills for Research and Practice
Authors: Shoraka Zahra Baradaran
Published: November 2024

Medical engineering is a field of study that combines biological and medical sciences with engineering to develop improved healthcare technologies.  It is imperative that you possess a deep understanding of both the material and the technical language used in this rapidly advancing field in order to effectively grasp key topics and navigate the rapidly expanding literature.  This paper examines the future of the biomedical engineering profession through the lens of advanced reading strategies. It starts with the assertion that biomedical engineering literature presents three challenges: the level of density is technical, the area is interdisciplinary, and the growth of knowledge is exponential.
In the view of the above challenges, the paper discusses various advanced reading skills in relation to biomedical engineers.  These skills include the ability to critically read scientific texts, both at a fast pace for an overview and in detail for deeper understanding, to identify key ideas and methodologies relevant to the field, and to assess the validity of scientific claims and data representations. The paper also aims at pointing out how separate elements like the use of systematic reviews, of meta-analysis, of data visualization tools that complement reading, help the researcher in the process of managing gathered information from various sources.
 This paper describes teaching these skills for both academic and professional practice, with examples of how improved reading competencies can enhance research quality and contribute to innovations in medical technologies, tissue engineering, and clinical trials. Furthermore, the paper aims to discuss the future trends due to the increasing incorporation of continuous learning for addressing the challenges posed by novel technologies including artificial intelligence and nanotechnology that define the future of biomedical engineering.
biomedical engineering students require the acquisition of higher order reading skills in preparation for information reading: national and international publications in the engineering profession, policy and technology in support of health care delivery systems, product development, and other purposes. The ideas stated and demonstrated in this paper should be practical to both beginning scholars and veteran professionals in the biomedical engineering field as well as useful for seminar and workshop participants in seminars and workshops on biomedical engineering literature.

The study revealed that there are significant deviations to the accrued from the recovered customs payments in the whole system per 1 official and per customs inspection. The following conclusions can be made based on the results of the research: 1. The number of customs value adjustments has grown by 35%, while the sums of additional charges only by 14%; 2. Against the background of reduction of the number of inspections by 48%, the percentage of effectiveness has grown by 7 p., but the sums of additional charges have grown by 172% (similar indicators of the amounts recovered). 3. There is a gap between accrued and recovered amounts of customs payments, which indicates that it is necessary to improve the effectiveness of measures to recover the amounts as a result of control measures.

Multiport converters have gained attention in the last few years as a key component for dc-powered buildings, more electric aircraft, and maritime applications. For buildings, the prevalence of dc appliances and electronic loads increases the need for efficient integration with both ac grid and local generation. Ac-dc multiport converters play an important role in this integration because dc distribution has been considered for power integration in modern buildings. In addition, the growing complexity of loads and sources within buildings has driven interest in developing flexible solutions to provide highly efficient integration. Furthermore, ongoing developments in standardization for in-building dc grids underscore the importance of considering specific requirements for future designs. This paper proposes a multiport power converter (ac/dc/dc) to integrate dc-powered buildings into an ac grid. By providing a multiport solution, it is possible to reduce the power processing stages and the component count. To evaluate the effectiveness of this concept, a 5-kW prototype was built and tested, including efficiency evaluation. In addition, emerging standards are discussed to tailor the power converter design for building applications.
