The Frustrations of Being the Spare :
Second Sons in the French Monarchy
and their Increasingly Limited Roles in
Politics and Society, 1560s–1780s
Authors: Spangler Jonathan
Published: March 2023

This chapter examines the changing role of the younger brother
of the king in the monarchy of France, from the Wars of Religion to the
Revolution. It traces the evolution of the relationship between these
princely siblings, from one of competition and a desire for independence to
a tighter bond of loyalty and an understanding that the needs of the dynasty
must always proceed individual desires. Like other major grandees in this
period, they recognised that cooperation with the Crown as an embodiment
of the state was usually more beneficial for their personal and dynastic
success than competing with it. This was not always a smooth transition,
and the first two princes examined here, François, duke of Alençon, and
Gaston, duke of Orléans, spent much of their lives in rebellion against royal
authority of their elder brothers. The second pair, Philippe, duke of Orléans,
and Louis-Stanislas, count of Provence, learned to express independent
authority in different, less threatening, ways, notably in the patronization
of arts and architecture, the development of private properties, and the
cultivation of clients and favourites separate from those of the monarch.

AIDanceFriend: An Intelligent Mobile Application to Automate the Dance Rating using Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision
Authors: Ding Yuanyuan , Wang Shuyu
Published: March 2023

In recent years, dance has become a popular entertainment for many people and also an occupation. As a dancer, sometimes it is hard to check how close your cover is vs. the choreographer's because our eyes are not always accurate when we are judging dynamic movement of people, so can artificial intelligence help us to do the work? This paper develops an application which utilizes artificial intelligence, and data analysis skills to develop an application which works on dance scoring [4]. In the application, users can upload two videos, one is their own cover while another one is the original choreography. Then, the application will use MediaPipe to catch the angles of dancers’ bodies in frames then store them in a data abstraction [5]. After all data are collected, the application will use clustering to line up the frames and angles information that are stored. The steps above will be applied to both videos. Next, the application will use an algorithm to compare two videos’ data and calculate a percentage of error of the covering video to the original choreograph and report a grade to the user. We applied our application to users who want to check how similar their covering dances are compared to the original choreographs in order to improve their covering quality [6]. The results show that when users are improving the quality of their covers, they improve their skills of focusing and optimizing details in dance.
An Smart Auto Shutter Controlling System for Intelligent Home based on Database Analyzing and Mechanical Devices
Authors: Kong Lingshan , Sahagun Jonathan
Published: March 2023

Currently, smart home systems have developed rapidly and really convenience people’s lives [1]. However, by focusing on the shutter and curtain in a smart home system, shutters can only move on manually, and shutter used less because the curtain is easy to control [2]. In order to try to fix these questions on shutter, we designed an application and hardware integrated system which can control the shutter automatically depending on light and temperature, and also can allow users to control their online shutters devices remotely. Besides, we used the firebase database to store the device's data and status, so that devices can be more memorable and smart in controlling the shutter even if the weather conditions affect the logic decision. We applied our application to some window shutters at home and conducted a qualitative evaluation of the approach. The results show that the system can make the decision based on the software logic and eventually control the shutter under different light and temperature conditions in order to have the best balance between sunlight and home light [3].
Tion Sport: A Mobile Application Designed to Improve a School’s Sport Event Scheduling System
Authors: Duan Junhong , Zhang Yujia
Published: March 2023

In my freshman year, I joined the school’s football team. However, the application they used at the time was incredibly confusing and difficult to navigate. The scheduling system that is currently in place has much room for improvement. This paper covers the development of an application that implements a new scheduling system that is hopefully easier for people to manage. To test the effectiveness of the application at creating a better user experience, an experiment was performed in which ten participants were gathered to test the features of the application, then complete a Google Forms survey that asked the participants to rate the functionality of the application and the convenience of the application on a scale from one to ten [1][2]. The results indicated that the newly developed application would be a suitable replacement for the current school sports application, as many of the participants stated that the application both functioned properly and was very intuitive.
Can Incremental Learning help with KG Completion?
Authors: Osama Mayar , Elkheir Mervat Abu
Published: March 2023

Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are a type of knowledge representation that gained a lot of attention due to their ability to store information in a structured format. This structure representation makes KGs naturally suited for search engines and NLP tasks like question-answering (QA) and task-oriented systems; however, KGs are hard to construct. While QA datasets are more available and easier to construct, they lack structural representation. This availability of QA datasets made them a rich resource for machine learning models, but these models benefit from the implicit structure in such datasets. We propose a framework to make this structure more pronounced and extract KG from QA datasets in an end-to-end manner, allowing the system to learn new knowledge in incremental learning with a human-in-the-loop (HITL) when needed. We test our framework using the SQuAD dataset and our incremental learning approach with two datasets, YAGO3-10 and FB15K237, both of which show promising results.
Procedural Generation in 2D Metroidvania Game with Answer Set Programming
Authors: Xu John , Morris John
Published: March 2023

Video game designers often find themselves at a crossroad when designing levels; namely, many have a difficult time balancing the amount of control they want to have over what their levels look like [1]. If too little control is given, like in the case of pure perlin-noise generation, levels can end up with too much variation and unideal generations [2]. Softlock is an example of unideal generation in the case of metroidvania games, if the placement of keys cannot be easily controlled and end up being placed behind gates, the players can get permanently stuck [3]. Developers may usually hand-make all levels in order to try and prevent this from happening, however they risk spending too much effort and time on designing levels, resulting in a general lack of quantity in levels. Objectively speaking, both methods have their strengths and work well in specific genres of games, but limiting oneself to the boundaries of these methods does not fundamentally achieve both quantity and accuracy. This paper proposes an unique solution to this dilemma, providing automated generation of levels while also giving developers much more control over the overall output. Our method uses Answer Set Programming (ASP) to verify generation based on restrictions we place, guaranteeing the outcome to be what we want [4]. To demonstrate our method, we applied our solution to a 2D metroidvania game made in the Unity game engine and conducted quantitative tests to assess how well our method works as a level generator [5].

Authors: Zhao Angelina , Sahagun Jonathan
Published: March 2023

In the United States, approximately 1 out of every 44 infants born fall under the autism spectrum, leading them through a life of hardship in the future [7]. Their parents or guardians must pay extra attention to them, as they are not the best at communication and voicing their opinions. As they grow up, their education can fall behind as they struggle in school. Our program allows students to stay on task since a teacher or an adult is always watching over them and guiding them into the right direction. Developed using Python, Thunkable, and Firebase, this program includes 3 major components. The UI component is responsible for the various interactive buttons and boxes [8]. The recording component does the bulk of the job by sending off the data gathered on the student’s movements down to the third component, the database which stores all of their information under each individual user ID.

Authors: Hu Kevin , Sun Yu , Zhang Yujia
Published: March 2023

Recent years have witnessed the dramatic popularity of online music streaming and the use of headphones likeAirPods, which millions of people use daily [1]. Melodic EQ was inspired by these users to create the best audiolistening experience for listeners with various preferences [2]. Melodic EQ is a project that creates customEQs tothe user's custom music tastes and filters the audio to fit their favorite settings. To achieve this goal, the processstarts with a song file taken from an existing file, for example, Spotify downloads or mp3s. This file is then uploadedto the app. The software sorts the song in a genre detecting Algorithm and assigns a genre label to that song. Insidethe app, the user will create or select EQs for that genre and apply it to their music. The interface is easy to use andthe app aims to make everyone's preferences achievable and on the fly. That’s why there are presets for eachcategory for users who are unfamiliar with equalizers, and custom settings for advanced users to create their perfect sound for each genre.
Emotional Music Generation: An Analysis of Effectiveness and user Satisfaction by using Python and Dart
Authors: Chong Crystal , Li Ang
Published: March 2023

An issue that is prevalent in today’s society is the need for new music to be generated. More people are uploading videos and other forms of content to the internet through social media, and videos can often be enhanced by adding music to them [6]. However, creating music can be a time-consuming and expensive process. Therefore, an application was created that can generate music using emotions as inputs for the music generation model. To test how well the method of music generation through sentimental analysis works, an experiment was conducted that tests how accurately a sample of participants believe that the generated music was on a scale from one to ten [7]. According to the results of the experiment, the application appears to do fairly well at generating music that accurately represents the sentiment that was intended in the inputted message. A survey was also conducted to test user satisfaction when working with the application to generate music. The feedback from the participants indicated that they were generally satisfied with how well the generated music matched their intent in the inputted message, and they also seemed to be very satisfied with how convenient the application was to use and how intuitive the user interface was [8]. However, as the ratings for convenience were much higher than the ones regarding the effectiveness of the music generation itself, this may indicate that the application still has room for improvement when it comes to recognizing the sentiment of the inputted message.
Non-Fungible Token Bubble Prediction using Extended Log-Periodic Power Law Model
Authors: Okubo Ikkou , Ito Kensuke , Shibano Kyohei , Mogi Gento
Published: March 2023

Non-fungible token (NFT) bubbles are a problematic issue, and this study aims to predict NFT bubbles using an extended log-periodic power law singularity (LPPLS) model. The classic LPPLS model targets the endogenous nature of bubbles caused by the mimetic behavior of investors without external influences; however, the extended model attempts to incorporate exogenous influences. First, we compare the performance of the two models for NFT price prediction. The exogeneous variable in the extended model is cryptocurrency volatility. Then, we calculate the bubble confidence using both models. The results show that the explanatory power and forecasting accuracy of the extended model are superior in all projects. We also find that the bubble confidence indicator reinforces the results of bubble prediction.
Addressing Class Variable Imbalance in Federated Semi-Supervised Learning
Authors: Dong Zehui , Liu Wenjing , Liu Siyuan , Chen Xingzhi
Published: March 2023

Federated Semi-supervised Learning (FSSL) combines techniques from both fields of federated and semi- supervised learning to improve the accuracy and performance of models in a distributed environment by using a small fraction of labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data. Without the need tocentralize all data in one place for training, it collect updates of model training after devices train models at local, and thus can protect the privacy of user data. However, during the federal training process, some of the devices fail to collect enough data for local training, while new devices will be included to the group training. This leads to an unbalanced global data distribution and thus af ect the performance of the global model training. Most of the current research is focusing on class imbalance with a fixednumber of classes, while little attention is paid to data imbalance with a variable number of classes. Therefore, in this paper, we propose Federated Semi-supervised Learning for Class Variable Imbalance (FCVI) to solve class variable imbalance. The class-variable learning algorithm is used to mitigate the data imbalance due to changes of the number of classes. Our scheme is proved to be significantly better than baseline methods, while maintaining client privacy.
Urban landscape composition: turning a panoramic sketch into a painting
Authors: Andriaka Sergey Nikolayevich
Published: March 2023

The modern landscape painter oftentimes finds himself slavishly tied to nature, its motifs. Yet, finding tailor-made exemplary landscape compositions in nature appears to be a challenge of its own. Thus, enlargement of landscape sketches to the size of a painting, a rather prevalent technique, seems to be nothing but a blind alley. The optimal solution, however, is to produce a paradigmatic natural motif sketch and convert it into a painting, by designing a proper composition and portraying the state of nature that allows, better than others, to reveal the intended artistic image. In order to create such an image, the artist must change the natural motif, adding some elements or removing others, thereby transforming the landscape ensemble into a harmonious whole.

Remarkably, research rooted in the theory of landscape composition has so far largely neglected the principles and methods of composing panoramic urban landscapes. Meanwhile, a consummate arrangement of a city panorama is undoubtedly among the hardest tasks to perform. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to address the challenging endeavor in question: it describes the process of creating a large-scale landscape painting, made in multi-layer watercolor using a life sketch. Particular attention is paid, among others, to the development of the image, selection of the optimal composition and its center, adjustment of the perspective, space depth, portrayal of foreground elements, rhythm organization, choice of a suitable state of nature, as well as apt color scheme.

Rate-induced tipping in ecosystems and climate: the role of unstable states, basin boundaries and transient dynamics
Authors: Feudel Ulrike
Published: March 2023

Abstract. The climate system as well as ecosystems might undergo relatively sudden qualitative changes in the dynamics when environmental parameters or external forcings vary due to anthropogenic influences. The study of these qualitative changes, called tipping phenomena, requires the development of new methodological approaches that allow modeling, analyzing, and predicting observed phenomena in nature, especially concerning the climate crisis and its consequences. Here we briefly review the mechanisms of classical tipping phenomena and investigate in more detail rate-dependent tipping phenomena which occur in non-autonomous systems characterized by multiple timescales. We focus on the mechanism of rate-induced tipping caused by basin boundary crossings. We unravel the mechanism of this transition and analyze, in particular, the role of such basin boundary crossings in non-autonomous systems when a parameter drift induces a saddle-node bifurcation in which new attractors and saddle points emerge, including their basins of attraction. Furthermore, we study the detectability of those bifurcations by monitoring single trajectories in state space and find that depending on the rate of environmental parameter drift, such saddle-node bifurcations might be masked or hidden and they can be detected only if a critical rate of environmental drift is crossed. This analysis reveals that quasi-stationary saddle points in non-autonomous multistable systems are the organizing centers of the global dynamics and need much more attention in future studies.
Spatially heterogeneous effect of the climate warming on the Arctic land ice
Authors: Maure Damien , Kittel Christoph , Lambin Clara , Delhasse Alison , Fettweis Xavier
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Global warming has already substantially altered the Arctic cryosphere. Due to the Arctic warming amplification, the temperature is increasing more strongly leading to pervasive changes in this area. Recent years were notably marked by melt records over the Greenland Ice Sheet while other regions such as Svalbard seem to remain less influenced. This raises the question of the current state of the Greenland Ice Sheet and the various ice caps in the Arctic for which few studies are available. We here run the Regional Climate Model (RCM) Modèle Atmosphérique Régional (MAR) at a resolution of 6 km over 4 different domains covering all the Arctic grounded cryosphere to produce a unified Surface Mass Balance product from 1950 to present day. We also compare our results to large-scale indices to better understand the heterogeneity of the evolutions across the Arctic and their links to recent climate change. We find a sharp decrease of SMB over the western Arctic (Canada and Greenland), in relationship with the atmospheric blocking situations that have become more frequent in summer, resulting in a 41 % increase of the melt rate since 1950. This increase is not seen over the Russian Arctic and Svalbard permanent ice areas, where melt rates have increased by only 9 % on average, illustrating a heterogeneity in the Arctic SMB response to global warming.
Beta-cyfluthrin-Induced Alterations in the Total and Differential Haemocytes Count in the Red Cotton Bug, Dysdercus koenigii (Fabricius,1775)
Authors: LANBILIU Panmei , SAMAL Roopa Rani , PANMEI Kungreiliu , KUMAR Sarita
Published: March 2023

Dysdercus koenigii is a major global pest of cotton that causes severe economic loss. Among several control measures, pyrethroids are frequently used toxicants because of high efficacy at low dosages and relative safety. Since haemocytes are biomarkers of the physiological response and immunity of insect which determine the insecticide efficacy, the current study assessed the effect of a pyrethroid, β-cyfluthrin, on the total and differential haemocyte counts of D. koenigii. Haemolymph was collected from the fifth instars after the topical application of β-cyfluthrin (0.8, 1.6, 3.2, 6.4 and 12.8 mg/L) on the thoracic tergum. The haemolymph of control nymphs revealed 5270 haemocytes/mm3 which decreased instantly by 1.4-3.1-fold on β-cyfluthrin exposure; more reduction observed at lower dosages. Increase in exposure duration and β-cyfluthrin dosages fluctuated the count considerably, eventually raising them at lower dosages and diminishing at higher dosages. Among five kinds of haemocytes recorded in the haemolymph, the β-cyfluthrin exposure increased %prohaemocytes count; diminished %granulocytes and %plasmatocytes count while spherulocyte and oenocyte counts were inconsistent. The alterations in haemocyte counts indicate the immunity response trigger in D. koenigii due to β-cyfluthrin-induced stress. Further investigations may decipher the mechanisms involved and help to formulate the strategies for its management in fields.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ ВІДНОСИН ІЗ ВЛАШТУВАННЯ ДІТЕЙ, ПОЗБАВЛЕНИХ БАТЬКІВСЬКОГО ПІКЛУВАННЯ, У ДАВНЬОРИМСЬКИЙ ПЕРІОД
Authors: Хрущ Вікторія Леонідівна
Published: March 2023

Статтю присвячено з’ясуванню особливостей нормативного врегулювання відносин із влаштування дітей, позбавлених батьківського піклування, у давньоримський період. Установлено, що проблема сирітства з урахуванням її здебільшого соціального характеру існує стільки ж, скільки й людство, а отже, мали місце різноманітні способи її вирішення, які, перш за все, зумовлювалися особливостями розвитку того чи іншого історичного типу суспільства. Об’єктивна потреба у влаштуванні дітей, позбавлених батьківського піклування, виникла у період родового ладу та була пов’язана з появою соціального сирітства як явища, що стало результатом переходу тогочасного суспільства до моделі родинного (сімейного) виховання. Первісне влаштування дітей, чиї батьки померли або відмовилися від них, містило деякі елементи функціонування сучасних дитячих будинків сімейного типу та передбачало взяття на виховання одного чи декількох дітей за винагороду, що надавалася родом. З огляду на тогочасну відсутність будь-якої диференціації форм влаштування дітей, позбавлених батьківського піклування, убачається, що інститут усиновлення на ранніх етапах розвитку людства слід сприймати не як одну із сучасних законодавчо закріплених форм виховання чужих дітей із чітко визначеними соціально-правовими особливостями, а як узагальнене поняття, що передбачало уособлення різноманітних способів виховання та захисту дітей-сиріт. Сучасна концепція функціонування дитячого будинку сімейного типу, як і будь-якої іншої форми влаштування дітей-сиріт та дітей, позбавлених батьківського піклування, історично бере свій початок від інституту усиновлення, процедурні особливості здійснення якого отримали досить детальне впорядкування нормами перших римських правових актів, зокрема Законів XII таблиць. Із зародженням християнства та безпрецедентним впливом церковних канонів на організацію суспільного життя цінність дітей у суспільстві суттєво зросла. На основі ідей гуманізму та милосердя була започаткована система державної підтримки сиріт, основним досягненням якої стало заснування притулків для дітей, позбавлених батьківського піклування. Діяльність таких притулків згодом була детально регламентована у Кодексі Юстиніана (Corpus juris civilis). Зазначено, що саме зі створенням таких притулків відбулося перше історичне розгалуження інституту опікування над сиротами: поряд з усиновленням правове підґрунтя отримало створення спеціалізованих сиротинців. Зроблено висновок, що візантійська система дитячих притулків стала інноваційним елементом догляду за сиротами та успішним доповненням до традиційної опіки, успадкованої від стародавнього світу, а самі римські сиротинці стали першим історичним прототипом сучасних дитячих будинків сімейного типу.

Swimming is a life skill and everyone should have the opportunity to learn to swim. In the scientific and methodological literature on swimming, in training programs and teaching aids for teaching swimming, it is said that it is not advisable to combine children of different ages in one group, but the real side of the problem lies precisely in the fact that mixed groups are formed quite often, and children of elementary, middle and high school age are engaged in one group. The article reveals the relevance of teaching swimming to children aged 7-15 years-old with different levels of swimming training in a mixed group. Since the nature of the perception of educational material, the degree of development of physical and mental abilities, previously acquired motor experience have significant individual differences, in a group of different ages it is necessary to foresee and solve far from equivalent particular tasks in the process of learning the same motor action. Based on this were identified methodological aspects of organizing and conducting swimming lessons in a sports and recreation group of different ages based on the UPhES pool and were developed methodological recommendations for coaches and swimming instructors.

The sports training activity in artistic gymnastics is characterized by operational information regarding body movements of a technical nature, executed with ease, amplitude, expressiveness, motor coordination, emotional balance, resistance to stress and focused attention. The psychobiological training must induce the psychic component, along with the motor component with which it interconditions. Biopsychoenergy has the ability to increase sensitivity, moral strength, intellectual power, strength, vigor, determination in attitudes, in actions and the ability to act.The body constantly emits and absorbs energy fields, which interact. Sounds, light, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetism, as well as various other types of energy originate from it [9, p. 18]. Because of the strong electromagnetic universe of the aura, we constantly emit electrical energy and absorb magnetic energy [9, p. 34]. According to Guja C. [3], electric charges at rest produce only electric field, their movement with uniform speed produces magnetic field, but the accelerated movement of these charges produces the electromagnetic field. From a biomechanical point of view, artistic gymnastics contains a very wide variety of movements, with the help of which a wide range of connections and combinations can be achieved, the gymnast being forced to master the biopsychomagnetism of the body in unusual conditions, to overcome its internal forces and external ones. The alternation of dynamic and static effort also brings with it a peculiarity of bioelectromagnetic information of the body. The results of the research contained in this article will be useful to gymnastics coaches, and not only, having an important methodological value at the level of knowledge of the style of integral technical-tactical training based on the biopsychoelectromagnetic information of the body of 8-11-year-old gymnasts.

The changes in the world at the economic, cultural, way of life, the development of information technologies influence people's attitude towards the training process and change society's requirements towards the level of training of adults. If traditionally a student was considered a person up to the age of 25, every year the age of people studying increases. Currently, studying is not a luxury, but a lifelong necessity in the conditions of an information society that tends towards globalization. Lifelong learning activities result in the improvement of knowledge, skills, competences and/or qualifications for personal, social and/or professional reasons. The project Toward the European university model of continuous learning in Moldova - COMPASS, ref. No. 597889-EPP-1-2018-1-MD-EPPKA2-CBHE-SP, addresses the integration process of the inclusive and responsive continuous learning university model, as the one that requires immediate reactions at the national and institutional level and joint action in Moldova . A priority of this project implemented by SUPES is the development of the culture of lifelong learning through continuous professional training programs that meet the expectations of today's society and aims not only to train specialists with higher education, but also to focus on the training needs of a much wider circle range of beneficiaries.
Impactul comunicării student-profesor asupra procesului de învățare

Communication skills represent an important indicator of professional success in most fields of activity and a predictor of the social success of modern man. As a teacher or coach, we have to choose between revealing our feelings and experiences and thus creating an atmosphere of trust and positive communication, or staying away from the risk of being misunderstood. An exposure that is too open can be embarrassing, and too compressed "freezes" the relationships with others. Self-disclosure occurs in a small group, in the context of positive interpersonal relationships and matures over time. Rarely in strictly professional relationships are people willing to put their "souls in the palm of their hand" right from the start. As time and routine provide us with a sufficient degree of predictability of the reactions of those we work with, we can feel safe talking more about our feelings, beliefs, values and motivations. Some members of the group may inspire more confidence than others and, at the same time, emanate, through their attitude, more support or empathy. In the present research, carried out within the State University of Physical Education and Sport, we aimed to identify the factors that can influence the learning process of students/athletes in terms of communication and relationship between the latter ones and teachers.
