We present a basketball training visualization method – Motion Time Cylinder (MTC) designed to help novice players learn basketball techniques more easily. The basketball player can select their preferred movement to learn and visualize the body and joint movements in detail. Extensive visualization as a graphical assistant help supports the player in understanding 3D movements from the visual patterns. At the same time, players can understand the coordination and spatial relationship when playing the movement. The visualization principle is based on the mapping of body movement into the graphic of clock-based division locations. The movements can then be represented by the translation pattern between the frontal and transverse planes of cylinder spaces. As a result, the movement can be visualized by rendering the translation pattern base on the clock from a specific perspective, for example, an orthogonal view. This paper explains the visualization principles of the mapping and pattern as well as the graphical representation based on user perception
Gay Nazis
Authors: Jameh Yasamin
Published: May 2023

Most histories on the development of homosexual identity in Germany focus on the 19th-century origins of the first homosexual rights movement, the thriving queer culture in large cities like Berlin during the 1920s, the extensive advocacy done by the liberal sexologist Magnus Hirschfield, and the ultimate eradication of all this progress by the Nazi regime. Consequently, these histories focus primarily on left-wing progressive homosexual advocacy groups like Hirschfield’s WhK (Wissenschaftlich-humanitäres Komitee; German for Scientific-Humanitarian Committee). Comparatively, less attention is paid to a smaller, but nevertheless significant cohort of right-wing male homosexual activists — or masculinists —  like Adolf Brand and Hans Blüher who rejected notions that same-sex desiring men constituted an effeminate “third sex”. In their view, homoeroticism was the ultimate expression of virility and male camaraderie, and they fused this idea with nationalist, racialist, and antisemitic views in order to formulate a right-wing position against repealing Paragraph 175, Germany's anti-sodomy law. World War One (WWI) was a crucial event which allowed homosexual veterans to affirm their desires more boldly without being labelled as weak and unmanly — their war experience allowed them to defend their reputation as macho and patriotic men. This paper investigates the historical, social, and psychological reasons why many early Nazis, especially those who joined the SA, were attracted to Brand and Blüher’s ideas. The SA’s relative tolerance for homosociality provided a safe space for many homosexuals in the movement. However, this was extremely problematic for the political side of the Nazi Party whose hegemonic heterosexual masculine image came under question after a series of SA scandals in the early 1930s, and ultimately took deadly actions to quash non-heteronormative elements of the movement.

Authors: Aleid Abdulsalam , Shehata Ahmed , Alaethan Mohammed , Aldawood Hassan , AlQurayn Ali , Alahmed Ibrahim
Published: May 2023

Background: Brain abscesses are rare but serious infections caused by bacteria or fungi in the brain tissue. They can cause serious problems if not treated quickly, so it is important to find the problem and treat it as soon as possible.
Case Presentation: A 46-year-old Saudi male heavy smoker presented to the emergency department with a 3-day history of dry cough, sore throat, subjective fever, malaise, and generalized body pain. Three pneumonia hospitalizations and a bronchoscopy confused the patient upon admission. The patient had a Glasgow Coma Scale of 14/15 and a mild right pronator drift. Brain imaging showed bilateral frontal intra-axial space-occupying lesions. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, sensitive to amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, grew together in culture. At 1-month follow-up, the patient had fully recovered. Peripheral enhancement reduced abscess cavity size on a repeat computed tomography-brain. The patient showed no neurological deficits at his 3- and 6-month clinic visits. Long-term antibiotics were recommended for 6 months.
Conclusion: A 46-year-old Saudi man with bilateral brain abscesses shows the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Imaging and culture results helped diagnose and treat. Aspirating the cystic lesions and the patient's recovery prove the treatment's efficacy.

¿Qué es un niño?
Authors: Márquez Rojas Néstor Raúl
Published: May 2023

Una descripción biológica no alcanza a colmar la definición del niño, solo brinda una aproximación un tanto reduccionista. La connotación de lo humano evoca un habitante no-natural, sino un ser que habita en el lenguaje. En el ámbito del lenguaje el ser no está sino como una representación, como un significante; entendiendo el significante como aquello que representa a un sujeto ($) para otro significante (A). El sujeto ($) se distingue del individuo orgánico de donde ha surgido por una operación simbólica que lo sustrae de aquella dimensión de goce donde se origino. La división subjetiva solo se produce por el trauma que implica hablar; esto lo distingue de otros seres vivientes, desligándolo del orden instintivo.
Conjetura
Authors: Arroyave Gómez Juan Felipe
Published: May 2023

El presente artículo intenta establecer un puente conceptual a través del inmenso y complejo proceso histórico de decantación racional a partir del cual Occidente establece los fundamentos del saber y del orden cultural. Impulsada desde los aportes freudianos a propósito de los dos grandes complejos míticos que sustentan en gran medida a la teoría del psicoanálisis –el padre/tótem y el hijo/edipo-, se intenta establecer una perspectiva desde la cual sea posible conferir significación a la disyuntiva mito-razón, en la medida en que se reconozca la posibilidad del sujeto social y/o colectivo de asumir resoluciones múltiples, en tanto cosmogonías y ontogonías de un discurso personal, subjetivo, poético, que confiere sacralidad a la verdad innombrable del sujeto, permitiendo para éste, otro camino de retorno a ese lugar del que ha sido desalojado. Así, aquellas imposturas omnímodas de la “razón instrumental” podrían ser reubicadas tácticamente desde unos abordajes cuyas poéticas tengan el sello personal de quienes asumen el pensar racional siempre de la mano de un sentir poético esencial.

Nuclear armament and its impact on the security of South Asia "India and Pakistan as a model
Authors: Hadi Mohammad Qasim
Published: May 2023

India and Pakistan are one of those countries that sought to possess nuclear weapons in order to be a deterrent factor and achieve the desired balance required from their hearts. Pakistan and neighboring rival India detonated nuclear explosions just days apart in May 1998. Since then, the two South Asian countries have been developing the fastest growing stockpiles of nuclear warheads and missile launch systems. Retired Indian Navy Admiral Arun Prakash noted, “India and Pakistan are perilously close to the point of ever-growing nuclear arsenals. This could turn into an unreasonable race driven by mutual suspicion rather than the actual needs of deterrence and maintenance of stability.” .

Notably, in recent years, the two countries have already tested a wide range of ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, including tactical systems. At the same time, India adopts a policy (not to pre-empt the use of nuclear weapons) at a time when Pakistan was more showcasing its nuclear power. Therefore, we will study in this research the impact of the Indian-Pakistani nuclear armament on the security of South Asia

Fourth AIAA High-Lift Prediction Workshop: Fixed-Grid Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes Summary
Authors: Ollivier-Gooch Carl F. , Coder James G.
Published: May 2023

The current state-of-the-practice technology for high-lift aerodynamic simulations is to solve the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations on a fixed grid or a refinement sequence of fixed grids. The Fixed-Grid Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes Technology Focus Group set out to determine meshing requirements and best practices, whether RANS can accurately predict the change in aerodynamic performance with changes in flap deflection, whether RANS modeling can produce accurate results near [Formula: see text], and the effects of underconvergence and solution strategy on computed results. Eighteen groups of participants submitted over 100 datasets. Challenges with grid convergence and iterative convergence made it impossible to definitively answer all the questions we had posed. Despite this, we can conclude that meshes with at least half a billion cells (more than one billion degrees of freedom) are required for grid convergence away from stall; that RANS simulations cannot currently be reliably used to predict aerodynamic coefficients near stall, nor changes in coefficients with changes in flap angle; that iterative underconvergence remains a significant source of uncertainty in outputs; and that solution initialization can have an important effect on solution behavior, including flow separation patterns.
Predeparture Flight Planning to Minimize Operating Cost for Urban Air Mobility
Authors: Tang Hualong , Zhang Yu , Post Joseph
Published: May 2023

Urban air mobility (UAM) is envisioned to move to highly automated and high-density operations in low-altitude urban airspace in the future. Providers of services for UAM (PSU), rather than the legacy air traffic control, are anticipated to support operators with operational planning, aircraft deconfliction, conformance monitoring, and emergency information dissemination. Such services, for hundreds to thousands of simultaneous UAM operations in constrained airspace, can only be realized with automated systems. In this study, airspace and deconfliction models for generating predeparture conflict-free four-dimensional (4-D) flight trajectories are proposed, which can be further developed into an automated flight planning tool for PSU. A semistructured scalable airspace design for future UAM is proposed (i.e., a layered airspace topology with direct routes between vertiports, avoiding physical obstacles, such as buildings, obstructions, and restricted airspace) using the visibility graph method. Based on the proposed airspace design, deconfliction strategies (e.g., flight-level assignment and departure delay) are applied to obtain predeparture conflict-free 4-D trajectories of UAM operations by solving a mixed-integer programming problem, with the objective function to minimize the operating cost of UAM operations. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is performed to investigate the impacts of three key cost parameters (electricity price, crew hourly rate, and maintenance hourly rate). The relationships of departure delay bound (maximum departure delay allowed) vs operating cost saving and departure delay bound vs delay cost to passengers are examined, as is the tradeoff between operating cost saving and passenger delay cost.
Refined Semi-Analytical Framework to Predict the Natural Vibration Characteristics of Bistable Laminates

Published: May 2023

Bistable unsymmetrical laminates have received significant attention in morphing applications due to their ability to attain multiple shapes when subjected to thermal loads. Morphing structures in general are subjected to dynamic operating conditions. Also, the highly nonlinear snap-through transition between stable configurations possesses rich dynamic characteristics. Therefore, understanding the dynamic characteristics of bistable laminates is essential for designing morphing structures constituting bistable elements. Thus, the present study aims to explore the dynamics of bistable unsymmetrical laminates by evaluating their natural vibration characteristics associated with small-amplitude dynamic excitation around the static equilibrium configurations. A refined semi-analytical framework is proposed to analyze the natural vibration characteristics of the bistable laminate, where the potential energy is expressed only in terms of the unknown coefficients of the assumed out-of-plane displacement function. The in-plane components are separately evaluated using the in-plane equilibrium equations and compatibility conditions. In the dynamic analysis, perturbations are imposed on the static equilibrium configurations to capture the modal characteristics. A full geometrically nonlinear finite element (FE) model of the bistable laminate has been created in a commercially available FE package to compare semi-analytical solutions. To validate the proposed frameworks, an experimental strategy to capture the natural frequencies of a bistable laminate is presented in this paper. Unsymmetric laminates mounted at its center have been used for the experimental testing, where the vibrations are measured using miniature integrated electronics piezoelectric accelerometer sensors attached at the corners. The semi-analytical and FE results are validated against the experimental observations for the selected unsymmetrical cross-ply laminates. The proposed frameworks are further extended to a family of unsymmetrical variable-stiffness (VS) laminates generated using curvilinear fiber alignments. The selected VS family can generate bistable shapes without any twisting curvature similar to that of an unsymmetrical cross-ply laminate, where the designer can expand the design space with a plethora of multiple configurations. A parametric study is performed by tailoring the VS parameters to investigate the influence of curvilinear fiber alignments on the natural vibration characteristics of bistable VS laminates.

Background: Traumatic Hemorrhagic Shock (THS) causes hypocalcemia (Ca). This study assesses how low Ca affects platelet (Plt) function. Study Design: A research registry was queried for 555 studies on 341 patients (pts) with THS requiring 14.2 units RBC, 8.4 units FFP, 3.6 units Plt, and 18.9 mEq Ca by end of O.R. (7.3 hours). Factors analyzed included Plt count, Ca, Bleeding Time (BT), Plt aggregation with ADP (PAadp) and collagen (PAcol), including Max PA, T1/2 PA, and rate PA, plus platelet release factors, beta thromboglobulin (BTG) and Plt PF-4. Studies were made in O.R. (26 pts) during fluid uptake phase II at 29 hours (216 pts), during fluid mobilization phase III at 56 hours (283 pts), and as outpatients (30 pts). Results: THS caused low Plts (1x10 SD) in O.R (107 ± 43), in phase II (96 ± 35), and in phase III (105 ± 59) and low Ca in O.R. (1.6 ± 0.3), in phase II (1.8 ± 0.2), and in phase III (2.1 ± 0.2). Low Plt and Ca correlated (p=<0.05) with PAadp and PAcol in O.R., phase II, and phase III. Ca correlated directly with Plt count, aggregation, BTG and PF-4, and inversely with BT. All outpatient studies were normal. Conclusion: THS causes Ca which leads to low Plt and impaired function. Routine Ca supplementation is recommended for THS.

Classification of taxes and fees as a method of systematization of environmental taxation in the russian federation
Authors: Samodelko L. S.
Published: May 2023

Environmental taxation is an instrument of the state’s tax policy, remaining today one of the vectors of socio-economic development. However, the structural understanding of this mechanism in tax theory has not yet been formed. In this connection, the purpose of this work is to identify, on the basis of the current tax legislation of the Russian Federation, tax tools involved in the regulation of environmental processes. To solve one of the main tasks, namely, to form the theoretical foundations of the algorithm for monitoring and evaluating empirical data within the framework of the state’s tax policy, it is necessary to analyze scientific publications and synthesize knowledge of Russian and foreign practices in the field of environmental taxation. The next task is to formulate conclusions on the further greening of the tax legislation of the Russian Federation. As a result of the conducted research, the author’s approach to the typologization of taxes and fees within the framework of Russian tax legislation is proposed from the position of using the ecological element of fiscal instruments. In the article the ecological element is understood as the socio-economic essence of a particular tax or fee, as well as the presence of an element or a tax mechanism of interaction of an ecological orientation in the payment structure. As a result, it was the elementary analysis of payments that made it possible to identify the range of hypothetically acceptable tax regulators.
Impact of monetary methods of economic regulation on fair pricing of shares in the Russian stock market
Authors: Kulikov M. V.
Published: May 2023

In the article, the author analyzes the Russian stock market, estimates the fair value of shares of domestic issuers and examines the impact on financial assets of the measures taken by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation within the framework of monetary policy. The fair value of securities is calculated on the basis of a constant dividend growth rate model, where the required return on equity is determined using the CAPM model. The results of the author’s comparative analysis of the fair value and market price of shares of Russian corporations show that securities on the Russian stock market are significantly undervalued. To eliminate the imbalances that have arisen in the financial market, the author suggests that the Central Bank of the Russian Federation implement a softer monetary policy, thus affecting the development of the domestic stock market and increasing the attractiveness of investments in securities of Russian corporations.
Development of a management model for the provision of long-term care services for elderly and disabled citizens on an extraterritorial basis
Authors: Myshko F. G.
Published: May 2023

Universal globalization dictates the need for new forms and methods of social work. The system of long-term care for elderly citizens and the disabled also requires updating. Basically, long-term care is based on regional regulation. The regions independently determine the list of “care” services, their volume, frequency and criteria of need. This gives rise to some kind of discrimination of some elderly citizens against others in terms of the volume and list of social services. In addition, the regional or decentralized principle of building a long-term care system «binds» elderly citizen in need of it to their place of residence, restricts their constitutional right to movement and freedom to choose their place of residence. The study analyzes the current state of regulation of the long-term care system and formulates proposals for the transition to the extraterritorial principle.
On the peculiarities of experiencing the loss of a spouse by women of different age categories
Authors: Kozyreva V. V. , Nikolaeva O. Yu.
Published: May 2023

The process of experiencing the loss of a spouse is called one of the most difficult life shocks. Often this period is quite long and includes overcoming and processing feelings such as guilt, confusion, fear, and others. Also, grieving for a spouse can cause serious damage to mental and physical health. The mourning associated with the loss of a spouse is a process in which it is possible to identify features, that is, what distinguishes it from other similar emotional shocks (loss of a friend, close relative). The specificity of experiencing the loss of a spouse, in particular, is expressed in the fact that not only the individual characteristics of a woman, but also the social and age characteristics of her personality are of great importance.
Comparative analysis of the socio-psychological adaptation of migrant children and children in the host population
Authors: Osin R. V.
Published: May 2023

The article presents the results of an empirical study comparing the socio-psychological adaptation of migrant children and local children studying in secondary school No. 20 of Penza. A theoretical analysis was carried out and the problem of adaptation of migrant children at school was justified. Through theoretical analysis, it has been established that the difficulties in the socio-psychological adaptation of migrant children are quite often due to the inability to interact with the local population, problems in communication, which in turn stimulate the growth of anxiety, hostility, distrust of the new living conditions and the environment, etc. As a result of an empirical study, differences in the indicators of socio-psychological adaptation of migrant children and local children were revealed. In particular, migrant children have a high level of aggressiveness, hostility, the following forms of aggression are more expressed: physical, verbal and indirect. They are characterized by the use of physical strength, foul language, the spread of gossip, rumors, negativism, irritation, suspicion and insult. Local children have lower indicators of personal and reactive anxiety, selfesteem, they are more often than migrant children in school classes have high social status (active) and very rarely low (ignored). At the same time, almost half of the migrant children occupy ignored and isolated positions in the group. Among all the children (local and migrants), the impuntive orientation of reactions in the frustration situation is dominant, but migrant children still have an extrapunitive orientation and less expressed intropunitive orientation.

Published: May 2023

The article deals with the management of hidden conflicts at the enterprises of the aviation industry. At present, a topical issue for the management of companies is the resource effectiveness of personnel, obtained as a result of the development or implementation of a management decision. The author emphasizes the importance of the conflict management process as a key tool for personnel management, on which the success of the company and sometimes the very existence of the enterprise, largely depends. The purpose of this work is to describe the conflict management methodology at the enterprises of the aviation industry by developing a model for identifying conflicts at an early stage. The main aspects of identifying conflict situations on the basis of modern theory and practice of conflict management are revealed. In this regard, the necessity for the top management of enterprises to make competent, economically sound management decisions is substantiated. A model for identifying hidden conflicts between employees is proposed.

Authors: Rozhkov E. V.
Published: May 2023

The article focuses on the ongoing economic processes associated with the conclusion of concession agreements in Perm and the Perm Territory. It is noted that two dozen such agreements have been concluded over the past year. Based on the study of information on concessions in Perm, it is shown that not all agreements are beneficial. The article notes the analysis relevance of concluded agreements. Despite the fact that all agreements are closely monitored by various structures, the economic or social effect does not always manifest. The work is based on the theoretical method of research. Several agreements concluded in 2022 have been analyzed and evaluated and the effect of which can be expected in 25–30 years. Replacement of electric transport in Perm is necessary, but not at the payment expense of the municipality residents. The article analyzes the expenditure part of the Perm budget and the expenditure part of the budget of the Perm Territory for 2023 as part of payment under concession agreements. Based on the generalization of the data obtained, the article draws conclusions that can be taken into account by local governments.

Experiment planning algorithms are a required component of autonomous platforms for scientific discovery. Selecting a suitable optimization algorithm for a novel application is an important yet difficult choice a researcher has to make based on past empirical performance on similar tasks. To facilitate the evaluation of various algorithms on chemistry and materials science optimization tasks, we previously introduced OLYMPUS (Mach. Learn.: Sci. Technol. 2, 035021, 2021), a Python package providing a consistent and easy-to-use interface to numerous optimization algorithms and benchmark datasets. While the original package was limited to continuous parameters and single objectives, in this work we expand OLYMPUS' capabilities to include mixed (continuous, discrete, and categorical) parameter types and multiple objectives. Several experiment planning algorithms already contained in OLYMPUS are extended to handle categorical and discrete parameter types, and five additional planners are implemented (23 in total). We also provide 23 additional benchmark datasets taken from the chemistry and materials science literature (33 in total), covering a wide range of research areas, from chemical reaction optimization to materials manufacturing. Finally, the visualization capabilities of OLYMPUS are enhanced to allow for easy inspection of the results, and the core functionality of the package is embedded in a Streamlit web application for code-free usage. We demonstrate how OLYMPUS enables researchers to rapidly benchmark different optimization strategies and gain insight into their behavior by focusing on two case studies: the optimization of a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction with categorical reaction conditions, and the multi-objective optimization of redox-active materials. The updated OLYMPUS package provides practitioners with a large suite of tools to efficiently benchmark and analyze experiment planning algorithms on mixed-parameter and multi-objective optimization tasks.
Electrochemical Asymmetric Diacetoxylation of Styrenes Mediated by Chiral Iodoarene Catalyst

Published: May 2023

Organocatalysis with chiral iodoarenes has emerged as a powerful approach for performing enantioselective transformations, however, suffering from the need to utilize stoichiometric amounts of peroxy acids or similar high energy oxidants. Electrosynthesis enables eliminating stoichiometric redox reagents by replacing them with electric stimuli. In this context, an electrochemically-promoted variant of the chiral iodoarene-catalyzed asymmetric diacetoxylation of styrenes was evaluated. The screening of reaction parameters established a set of conditions under which, for the first time, an enantioselective electrochemical oxidation mediated by a chiral iodoarene achieving a catalytic turnover has been accomplished. The reaction was applied for the synthesis of an array of products in 15-60% yields and 0-84% ee. The modest efficiency of the electrocatalysis was traced to a partial direct oxidation of styrene substrates leading to racemic products and undesired dimeric side-products. Cyclic voltammetry measurements demonstrated that such outcome originates from a somewhat difficult electrochemical oxidation of the applied iodoarene catalyst. Present work provides important insights and implications for the design of more efficient electrocatalytic systems employing chiral iodoarenes as mediators.
Investigating oil solubilization into nonionic micelles by Raman multivariate curve resolution

Published: May 2023

Hydrophobic hydration, whereby water spontaneously structures around hydrophobic and amphiphilic molecules, plays a key role in the process of surfactant micelle formation and micellar oil solubilization. Using vibrational Raman multivariate curve resolution (MCR) spectroscopy, we characterized changes in the hydrophobic hydration occurring within nonionic alkylphenol ethoxylate surfactant Tergitol NP-12 micelles as a function of oil solubilization. We report trends in the changes of hydrophobic hydration depending on the chain length of the oil as well as the presence of a halogen atom in the oil chemical structure. Changes in hydrophobic hydration directly correlate to changes in the physical properties of the micellar solution, including cloud point and micelle hydrodynamic diameter. We compare hydrophobic hydration of Tergitol NP-12 to nonionic linear alkyl ethoxylate surfactant Makon TD-12 and ionic sodium dodecyl sulfate and observe similar trends; the molecular structure of the oil has the largest impact on the hydrophobic hydration. We believe these studies contribute to a fundamental understanding of the importance of hydrophobic hydration in surfactant and oil aggregates, especially as it relates to micellar oil solubilization, and provide insight into how the molecular solubilizate can impact micellar structure, size, and stability.

Protection of life, health, property and environment of the inhabitants is a need of all countries in the world. In order for states to be able to manage difficult crisis phenomena, it is necessary to have support in the law. In Slovakia, there are several states of crisis that can be declared or terminated under certain circumstances. The article is focused on the analysis of individual laws that deal with the issue of crisis situations. The article also analyzes individual crisis situations that existed in Slovakia during a certain period. The issue of crisis situations is supplemented by comparative tables of extraordinary events and II. and III. degree of flood activity. These events often precede the declaration of a state of crisis. During II and III. degree of flood activity, rescue works are carried out to prevent the occurrence of floods. That is why the article is supplemented with an analysis of these case in the environment of the Slovak Republic.
