Logistics strategies of food delivery O2O supply chain with anti-food waste regulation
Authors: Xu Shiqi , Du Yanan , Xu Guangye
Published: April 2024

With the ever-growing popularity of food deliver, more and more consumers are embracing this convenience as part of their lifestyle. However, the issue of food waste created by the food deliver industry has become a pressing concern in society. This paper aims to examine the link between food waste and food delivery services, and investigate the effects of anti-food waste regulations on the generation of food waste and the choice of logistics strategies in an Online-to-Offline (O2O) supply chain. Using game-theoretical approach, we focus on two prominent logistics strategies—the restaurant-free self-logistics strategy (RF strategy) and the platform-charge logistics strategy (PC strategy). Our research results show that anti-food waste regulation can effectively reduce food waste in food delivery service under the PC logistics strategy. The choice of logistics strategy is constrained by the online market potential, the relative logistics costs of platform logistics, and anti-food waste regulations. If the anti-food waste regulation is strict, as long as the size of the food delivery market and the relative logistics costs of platform logistics are not simultaneously small, the RF strategy will be the equilibrium strategy, whereas the supply chain members should choose the PC strategy. The study thus offers useful inferences for theory and practice.

Introduction

The level of essential minerals in meat is an important factor in human nutrition and health. Meat from responsibly managed wildlife is an alternative raw material with considerable nutritional benefits. Meat from hunted animals has essential and non-essential elements for the human body. It is important to carefully monitor the levels of heavy metals accumulated in the tissues of hunted animals in polluted areas to ensure food safety and environmental contamination. High levels of heavy metals in food and the environment can pose a danger to human health.

Methods

The study aims to investigate the levels of essential mineral elements and heavy metals in the muscle tissue and organs of wild boar harvested through the herd density control plan over the last decade in north-eastern Romania.

Results and discussion

The statistical analysis indicates that the age of the animals had a significant impact on Fe, Cu, and Zn levels in Longissimus lumborum. In the kidney a highly significant difference in Fe content by sex, with males showing higher values than females. The sex was shown to significantly influence the Mg levels. However, there are concerns about the accumulation of heavy metals such as Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd), which may hurt the health of game meat consumers in the study area. Cd level it shows significant differences according to both age and sex, with higher concentrations in adults and males. Statistical analysis shows a negative correlation between Fe and Zn concentrations in muscle samples, while a positive correlation was found between Fe and Mn in kidney samples. There was also a positive association between Zn and Cu in muscle samples, but a negative association in kidney samples. Principal component analysis shows significant variation in essential element and heavy metals data between muscle and kidney samples. The loading plot shows a direct correlation between Pb and Cu and between Pb and Cd. However, an opposite correlation also is observed between Cu and Mg, Cd and Mg, and Pb and Mg. HQ (Hazard Quotient) for children compared to adults indicates a potentially higher risk associated with meat consumption among children because children are more vulnerable than adults. We report for the first time, to the best authors’ knowledge, various levels of essential minerals and exceeded maximum admitted level of heavy metals in the muscle tissues and kidneys of Sus scrofa ferus from Romania intended for human consumption, moreover, our findings highlight the need for strict monitoring and implementation of appropriate corrective measures, given the significant percentages of muscle and kidney samples exceeding the allowable limits for two of the most common toxic metals in the environment.
Crosstalking with dendritic cells: a path to engineer advanced T Cell immunotherapy
Authors: Schafer Sogand , Chen Kaige , Ma Leyuan
Published: April 2024

Crosstalk between dendritic cells and T cells plays a crucial role in modulating immune responses in natural and pathological conditions. DC-T cell crosstalk is achieved through contact-dependent (i.e., immunological synapse) and contact-independent mechanisms (i.e., cytokines). Activated DCs upregulate co-stimulatory signals and secrete proinflammatory cytokines to orchestrate T cell activation and differentiation. Conversely, activated T helper cells “license” DCs towards maturation, while regulatory T cells (Tregs) silence DCs to elicit tolerogenic immunity. Strategies to efficiently modulate the DC-T cell crosstalk can be harnessed to promote immune activation for cancer immunotherapy or immune tolerance for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Here, we review the natural crosstalk mechanisms between DC and T cells. We highlight bioengineering approaches to modulate DC-T cell crosstalk, including conventional vaccines, synthetic vaccines, and DC-mimics, and key seminal studies leveraging these approaches to steer immune response for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Authors: Das Shraban , Mahato Kanailal , Zayed Ahmed I.
Published: April 2024

The main aim of this article is to derive certain continuity and boundedness properties of the coupled fractional Fourier transform on Schwartz-like spaces. We extend the domain of the coupled fractional Fourier transform to the space of tempered distributions and then study the mapping properties of pseudo-differential operators associated with the coupled fractional Fourier transform on a Schwartz-like space. We conclude the article by applying some of the results to obtain an analytical solution of a generalized heat equation.
Practical Improvements to Mean-Variance Optimization for Multi-Asset Class Portfolios
Authors: Lolic Marin
Published: April 2024

In the more than 70 years since Markowitz introduced mean-variance optimization for portfolio construction, academics and practitioners have documented numerous weaknesses in the approach. In this paper, we propose two easily understandable improvements to mean-variance optimization in the context of multi-asset class portfolios, each of which provides less extreme and more stable portfolio weights. The first method sacrifices a small amount of expected optimality for reduced weight concentration, while the second method randomly resamples the available assets. Additionally, we develop a process for testing the performance of portfolio construction approaches on simulated data assuming variable degrees of forecasting skill. Finally, we show that the improved methods achieve better out-of-sample risk-adjusted returns than standard mean-variance optimization for realistic investor skill levels.
An Automated Fish-Feeding System Based on CNN and GRU Neural Networks
Authors: Son Surak , Jeong Yina
Published: April 2024

AI plays a pivotal role in predicting plant growth in agricultural contexts and in creating optimized environments for cultivation. However, unlike agriculture, the application of AI in aquaculture is predominantly focused on diagnosing animal conditions and monitoring them for users. This paper introduces an Automated Fish-feeding System (AFS) based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs), aiming to establish an automated system akin to smart farming in the aquaculture sector. The AFS operates by precisely calculating feed rations through two main modules. The Fish Growth Measurement Module (FGMM) utilizes fish data to assess the current growth status of the fish and transmits this information to the Feed Ration Prediction Module (FRPM). The FRPM integrates sensor data from the fish farm, fish growth data, and current feed ration status as time-series data, calculating the increase or decrease rate of ration based on the present fish conditions. This paper automates feed distribution within fish farms through these two modules and verifies the efficiency of automated feed distribution. Simulation results indicate that the FGMM neural network model effectively identifies fish body length with a minor deviation of less than 0.1%, while the FRPM neural network model demonstrates proficiency in predicting ration using a GRU cell with a structured layout of 64 × 48.

Published: April 2024

Esta investigación analiza atributos de calidad en un restaurante utilizando el modelo Kano. Su objetivo es determinar aquellos factores que generan satisfacción y no satisfacción, para identificar los componentes del servicio que le agregan valor al consumidor. El diseño es de tipo observacional y descriptivo, de cohorte transversal, y utiliza datos de una muestra de clientes calculada con la técnica probabilística de muestreo estratificado. Las variables estudiadas son cualitativas, medidas con la aplicación de un instrumento con
19 atributos que engloban características tangibles e intangibles del servicio ofrecido por la empresa, comportamiento actual de clientes (costumbres y preferencias), normas de seguridad e higiene impuestas debido a la pandemia por COVID-19, y posibilidades económicas de la empresa para adaptarse. Solamente se detectaron atributos que describen lo que los clientes valoran y encuentran llamativo, pero si no estuvieran presentes no generan insatisfacción (atractivos), y aquellos donde el nivel de satisfacción es proporcional al grado de presencia de dicha característica en el servicio (unidimensionales), pero no se encontraron atributos de calidad que de no cumplirse darán lugar a una fuerte insatisfacción del cliente (obligatorio), ni tampoco aquellos que no generan una sensación de satisfacción o insatisfacción cuando están presentes o ausentes (indiferente).

Authors: Abukari Arnold Mashud , Zulfawu Iddrisu , Bankas Edem Kwedzo , Gibrilla Issah
Published: April 2024

Elections in recent years have become topical issues and characterized by violence and conflicts leading to loss of lives and properties. The integrity and confidentiality of the declared collated results have been questioned by individuals and organisations with keen interest in the outcomes of every election. Different countries have adopted different Election Results Management Systems (RMS) to help present a credible, fair and transparent election results. These systems adopted are not without criticisms and suspicions. This research paper has presented various factors that need to be considered when selecting a Results Management System (RMS) for elections. A cloud-based using a Hybrid homomorphic encryption approach is proposed in managing the election results data security and transmission. The proposed scheme has demonstrated effectiveness in handling data integrity, data confidentiality, data privacy and access control. The proposed scheme presented has enhanced the security of election results data against Chosen Ciphetext Attacks (CCA) and Denial of Service (DoS) as well as other cyber related attacks. The time required for the entire election data encryption, transmission, decryption, upload time and download time has been greatly enhanced with the proposed system. The proposed system workflow algorithm, key generation algorithm, encryption algorithm and decryption have been presented in this research paper. The outcome of the research work indicates that only 0.00078 seconds is required to generate keys for about 100 users. About 0.705 seconds and 0.863 seconds is required for the encryption and decryption of a 500MB election results data. It was observed that the overall election results data transmission time is about 51.779 seconds which is less than one minute (60 seconds) for about 500MB data size of the election results data. This paper makes a case for the adoption and implementation of the proposed system since it performs better in terms of securing the election results data and transmission time in the cloud environment.
Neural Reasoning Machine for Recommendation
Authors: Ji Jianchao , Li Zelong , Zhang Yongfeng
Published: April 2024

Most of the existing recommendation models are designed based on the principles of learning and matching: by learning the user and item embeddings and using learned or designed functions as matching models, they try to explore the similarity pattern between users and items for recommendation. However, recommendation is not only a perceptual matching task, but also a cognitive reasoning task because user behaviors are not merely based on item similarity but also based on users’ careful reasoning about what they need and what they want.

Abstract:
Humans are the image of God and have the dignity of life as a special gift from God. In this regard, it must be noted that gender differences as men or women, normal physical conditions or as people with disabilities are never a measure of human dignity. Women with disabilities have the right to live and be loved like other human beings. Discrimination and various acts of injustice against women with disabilities are a moral issue that threatens the value of equal human dignity. This research aims to call for the need to realize Catholic theology of compassion, especially for women with disabilities. Women with disabilities are often ignored in various groups such as families, local communities, and in religious/religious circles. To overcome these problems and collect data and analyze problems comprehensively, this research uses case studies and qualitative methods through literature studies. Thus, the problem is studied through quantitative and qualitative approaches. First, I will explain that women with disabilities experience marginalization in general society; second, I will outline the idea of Catholic theology of mercy; Third, build a theological reflection and show the possible direction of pastoral theology. Through this research, the author hopes to be able to tell the concrete experiences of women with disabilities in relation to Catholic theology of compassion. In this way, it is hoped that there will be a joint movement that will increasingly promote peace, love, justice and prosperity.

Etimología del nombre vasco del vascuence y las vocales nasales vascas descritas por Garibay
Authors: Irigoyen Alfonso
Published: April 2024

El sufijo -(k)ara / -(k)era aplicado a euskara / euskera, nombre vasco de la lengua, que en el caso de erdara / erdera, 'lengua no vasca', aparece sin la -k- desarrollada tras sibilante en el otro caso, procede, según expresa el autor en este trabajo, de las formas románicas femeninas_ -aira> -era, constituyendo ambas una evolución del sufijo latino -arzus, -a, -um.
Basándose en la forma enusquera documentada el siglo XVI por el mondragonés Esteban de Garibay, la cual se pronunciaría como ê-ûskera, con nasalidad vocálica, así como también, por otra parte, en la existencia de las formas paralelas jazkera, 'modo de vestir', de jantzi, 'vestir', y euskera, 'modo de sujetar', de eutsi, 'sujetar', cuya forma no habría tenido antiguamente nasalidad, etc., el autor propone ,:*enau(t) si, 'decir', como base para la de euskara / euskera, participio que habría dado lugar a las flexiones verbales del tipo diñost / diost, con una variante vizcaina diñaust, 'me lo dice', por lo que inicialmente significaría simplemente 'modo de hablar'.
Plurilingüismo histórico en Euskal Herria
Authors: Ciérbide Ricardo
Published: April 2024

En Euskal Herria -La Tierra de los que hablan euskera- se han ido asentando durante siglos junto a sus naturales, pueblos de diferentes lenguas y culturas que a lo largo de su historia han conformado una sociedad plurilingüe: En el primer milenio a. C. protoceltas y celtas, coetáneamente iberos y más tarde con la romanización el latín.
De este último procederán las lenguas romances, desarrolladas unas dentro de Vasconia como el castellano, en parte, y el romance navarro- aragonés al sur y en sus proximidades, el gascón al norte. A ellas habría que añadir entre fines del s. XI y el XIV el occitano-languedociano en las villas navarras del Camino de Santiago.
Desaparecidas las var. románicas del languedociano (f. del s. XIV), del navarro-arag. (s. XVI) en Navarra y del gascón (f. del s. XVIII) en Iparralde y San Sebastián, quedaron en el País el euskera como lengua privativa y como lenguas de relación y cultura el francés y el castellano.

A propos d'un certain comparatisme

Published: April 2024

La biologie et les recherches dans le domaine du sang ont prouvé le lien racial qui existe entre les vieux Amérindiens et les Mongols d'Asie. Ce fait devrait nous conduire à comparer aussi les langues des deux continents qui entourent la zone du Pacifique en y incluant celles de la Sibérie centrale et peut- être m ême des langues de l'Europe (finno-ougrien, basque). Un examen de très vieilles racines et de termes fondamentaux (père, mère, pronoms personnels, etc.) montre que ce lien existe réellement. Il pourrait etre très important de reconsidérer la valeur des anciennes comparaisons «adémodées», surtout si le basque est concerné.

The neurosurgical literature shows that the effectiveness of the main sinus outflow in its main function depends on access to the anatomy and pathology in the presellar area and the development of neuroimaging methods. The pathology of the cavernous sinus is often revealed in imaging tests, which are often accompanied by other tests unrelated to the cause. Tumors located within the cavernous sinus pose a significant challenge for surgeons. Although it is often possible to decide to opt out, it is possible. Not only tumors can be located in the cavernous sinus and affect placement in any structure. The aim of this work is to raise awareness of pathological conditions within the cavernous sinus. Methods: Selected articles from Pubmed and specialist textbooks were analyzed in detail. We focused on selected pathological conditions occurring within the cavernous sinus, which a doctor may often encounter in his clinical work. Conclusion: The cavernous sinus is a place where tumors and other pathologies arise. The development of imaging diagnostics allows neurosurgeons to more precisely determine the place within the sinus that has changed, and access to it is quite a challenge. Numerous observations of clinical conditions are increasingly a source of knowledge that can provide a therapeutic trial, but also speed up the detection of potential changes.

The pathomechanism of many diseases affecting the human brain and spinal cord has not been fully elucidated. Some organs of the human body have the ability to rebuild and regenerate in the event of apoptosis or necrosis of some cells. An organ with a high self-regeneration capacity is, for example, the liver. In this respect, the human nervous system is its opposite. This is related to the strict functional specialization of neurons and the fact that the function of the nervous system is influenced not only by the operation of individual cells, but also by efficient transmission in often huge and complex networks of neuronal connections, the damage of which is practically impossible to repair. This limited regenerative capacity is why cell loss and nerve fiber disruption are irreversible losses. This constitutes a significant problem in the treatment of patients with spinal cord injuries or suffering from diseases involving rapid (stroke) or constantly progressive (neurodegenerative diseases) loss of nerve cells. The aim of this work: This work presents the current and most interesting directions of research on the possibility of using stem cells in attempts to regenerate spinal cord and brain injuries. Methods: Selected articles from Pubmed and specialist textbooks were analyzed in detail. We focused on selected disease states in which stem cells may have therapeutic possibilities. Conclusion: Currently, cell therapies are mainly used in bone marrow diseases such as leukemias and myelodysplastic syndromes. If our level of knowledge allows it, in the future stem cells may become a tool in the fight against numerous diseases currently considered incurable and help in the regeneration of organs with a low degree of self-renewal, such as the spinal cord and brain, but also the heart, pancreas and many others.

The purpose of the study was to show the histopathological features of melanoma of the human choroid, as well as the structures surrounding the tumor, and their significance in predicting the outcome of the tumor for choosing a treatment method. The desire for organ-preserving non-invasive methods of tumor destruction leaves out of attention such risk factors as metastasis, localization and degree of damage to the structures surrounding uveal melanomas. To substantiate the unsafety of local treatment of melanomas, the morphological features of the cellular phenotypes of the tumor and the features of changes in the structures surrounding the tumor on sections of a human eye enucleated according to clinical indications were established. It has been established that the tumor contains not only the well-known spindle-shaped and epithelioid cells. The data obtained complement the information on the cellular phenotypes of ocular melanomas and dictate a revision of the generally accepted classification of these tumors, including fusiform, epithelioid and mixed types of malignant tissues in the structure of the human choroid, adopted in the seventh edition of the Cancer Staging Manual of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (Cancer Staging Manual) of the American Joint Committee on Cancer). Pathological changes were established in the tissues adjacent to the tumor, in the retina and vitreous body, which are responsible for the preservation of visual functions.

This can be detrimental to website owners and users, so it is necessary to improve the quality of more accurate validation. The ternaku.id website, which has been designed in such a way, must go through a testing stage to ensure the quality of the software itself. A good test case is if the test has the possibility of finding an uncovered error. In this research, functionality testing will be carried out using black box testing using the Equivalence Partition method. This method test solves or divides the input domain of the program into data classes so that test cases that are considered relevant enough to test the registration or registration functionality, login, and investment application features on the Ternaku can be obtained.id website. The results of tests carried out on 11 functions showed that 3 functions failed and 8 functions succeeded.

Authors: Rodríguez Gómez Hilda Mar , Restrepo Gil Andrés
Published: April 2024

Colombia es uno de los países más peligrosos para ser maestro (GCPEA, 2022), teniendo como referencia la cantidad de ataques que recaen sobre los docentes del país. Esta violencia termina por condicionar la subjetividad pedagógica de los maestros; esto es, sus formas de enseñar, de relacionarse con el conocimiento y de establecer los vínculos con la comunidad educativa. Este artículo, derivado de una investigación sobre la seguridad docente, tiene la intención de explorar la configuración de la subjetividad de una maestra que labora en una zona de conflicto. Para ello, dividimos el texto en tres momentos. En el primero de ellos, ofrecemos un panorama conceptual acerca de la subjetividad pedagógica. En el segundo, establecemos una relación entre la subjetividad y el silencio de esta maestra y, cerramos el texto, con un análisis sobre la subjetividad de esta maestra y los vínculos con las y los estudiantes y sus familias.
