Free Will, Work Motivation and Optimism
Authors: Lin Zhuoru
Published: November 2024

This study investigated the relationship between beliefs in free will, work motivation, and optimism in a sample of 54 employed adults. A 45-item questionnaire, which included the Free Will subscale of the FAD-Plus, the Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS), and the Optimism and Pessimism Scale (OPS-C), was used to determine whether belief in free will is linked to higher levels of motivation and a more optimistic outlook. The results indicated a moderate, positive correlation between free will beliefs and work motivation (r = 0.2815, p < 0.05), indicating that individuals who perceive themselves as autonomous and in control of their actions tend to be more motivated in their work. However, the relationship between free will beliefs and optimism were weak and non-significant (r = 0.1745, p = 0.206944), suggesting that free will may not directly impact an individuals optimism.
The Theoretical Connotation and Integration of the Second Integration in the Perspective of Social Viewpoint
Authors: Liang Gaoming
Published: November 2024

Abstract: From the perspective of social view, we systematically sort out the historical background of Marxism' "second integration",and profoundly understand the profound, innovative, developmental and pluralistic value implications of the "second integration". We should also deeply understand the profound, innovative, developmental, and pluralistic value implications of the "second combination". The traditional Confucian view of society with "Mingde" as its cultural gene and the concept of free human association in the perspective of humanity as a whole have greatly enriched the theoretical connotation of the "second combination". Based on the above rich theoretical connotation,we have taken the "one center", i.e., the social concept of "the world is public" as the center, the "two basic points", i.e., moral cultivation as the fundamental basis of the relationship between oneself and the group, and the "two basic points", i.e., the moral cultivation as the fundamental basis of the relationship between oneself and the group. From "one center", i.e., centering on the social concept of "the world is public", "two basic points", i.e., moral cultivation as the fundamental basis of the relationship between oneself and one's group, and "harmony and difference" as the principle of interaction and integration, we are actively searching for the way of integration and the path of practice of the "second union" under the perspective of the social viewpoint.

The Use of Metallic Elements in Bone Repair Scaffolds
Authors: Sun Zhen
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Bone repair has been a challenging issue for a long time. Some recent studies focused on the incorporation of metallic elements into scafffolds for improving the performance for bone regeneration. This review explores the use of metallic elements in bone repair scaffolds, focusing on strontium (Sr), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg) and Titanium (Ti). These elements enhance scaffold properties, promoting bone regeneration. Sr5(PO4)2SiO4 (SPS) bioceramic scaffolds, fabricated through 3D plotting and sol-gel methods, exhibit superior mechanical strength and induce osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro. Sr and Si ions within the SPS scaffolds upregulate genes related to cell proliferation, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis. Porous magnesium (Mg) scaffolds, with their biodegradability and ability to stimulate bone formation, offer an alternative to traditional metal implants. Mg scaffolds demonstrate good biocompatibility, physical properties, and osteoinductive potential. Porous titanium (Ti) scaffolds, manufactured through powder metallurgy, address the issue of stress shielding associated with conventional Ti implants. The interconnected pore network and controlled porosity of these scaffolds mimic natural bone, leading to improved biocompatibility and cell interaction.

As the world's top basketball league, the NBA's players are mostly outstanding in this field, whether in terms of technology or physical fitness, including clubs and other aspects, all of whom are top-notch entities. However, the Chinese CBA has shown a downward trend in recent years. This paper discusses the challenges facing the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) in comparison to the National Basketball Association (NBA). The study highlights the differences in branding, market positioning, and ownership structures between the two leagues. CBA faces issues such as unclear brand identity, insufficient efforts to shape a distinct image, and a complex ownership model that hinders market-driven growth. The paper discusses the need for CBA to develop a strong brand identity, utilize brand ambassadors and slogans, simplify ownership structures, and promote social welfare activities to enhance its popularity and competitiveness. The study provides insights into how CBA can learn from the successful branding strategies of the NBA to foster its own growth and sustainability.

Garbage Sorting and Processing Based on Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Yu Peiran
Published: November 2024

With the global issue of waste management becoming increasingly severe, the demand for automated classification technologies has grown significantly. This study aims to explore the effectiveness and applicability of convolutional neural networks (CNNs)-based waste classification models, focusing on the impact of different datasets on model performance. This paper built and trained a CNN model to address data imbalance and complex category features in waste classification. The results show that on the original dataset, the model achieved high accuracy for classes with sufficient samples (e.g., cardboard, glass), but performed poorly for classes with limited samples or high feature similarity (e.g., plastic, trash), indicating significant differences in the models generalization ability across categories. To further verify the performance of the model on different datasets, this paper conducted experiments on the UCI dataset. The data diversity of this dataset is higher, and the experimental results confirm the importance of data diversity in improving model performance. Although the model performs well in some complex categories, there is still a misclassification problem for categories with ambiguous features. Through experimental analysis, this study proposes future improvements, including increasing the number of samples for minority classes, optimizing data augmentation strategies, and introducing more complex model architectures (such as attention mechanisms) to enhance model generalization. This research provides new ideas and references for the application of automated technologies in the field of waste classification and offers a theoretical and practical foundation for future smart city waste management.
Exploiting Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks for Enhanced EEG-based Emotion Recognition
Authors: Li Gengyu
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Emotion recognition is a branch of artificial intelligence that analyzes human emotional states through facial expressions, voice, or physiological signals. It enhances human-computer interaction, facilitating more personalized and empathetic technology experiences, crucial for fields like mental health, customer service, and human-robot interaction. In recent years, research on emotion recognition using these tools has grown rapidly, involving multiple interdisciplinary fields. With the aid of electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), the emotional states of users can be sensed and analyzed. It offers a direct, non-intrusive insight into user emotions, enhancing user experience and system responsiveness. This approach is crucial for developing adaptive artificial intelligence (AI) in fields like healthcare for personalized treatments and in entertainment for immersive experiences, advancing human-technology symbiosis. This paper compares five current machine learning (ML)-based emotion recognition methods leveraging EEG signals, aiming to evaluate their effectiveness and applicability in emotion recognition. The paper concludes that while both Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) have their strengths, the combination of them provides the best performance in EEG-based emotion recognition.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. This paper discusses the control problem of intelligent tracking vehicle in complex dynamic environment, and puts forward a solution combining Bayesian optimization algorithm and PID control. Traditional PID control faces many challenges when dealing with time-varying and nonlinear systems, but the operating environment of intelligent tracking vehicles is complex and changeable, and it is difficult to adjust parameters in real time to adapt to different operating conditions. Therefore, this paper introduces Bayesian optimization algorithm to predict the optimal parameter combination of PID controller by constructing hyperparameter optimization model, thus effectively improving the control performance and robustness of the system.
Enhanced Personalized Text Generation Using User Embeddings and Attention Mechanisms
Authors: Shu Chang
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Personalized text generation plays an important role in modern applications such as content recommendation, conversational agents, and review generation, where adapting outputs to user-specific preferences enhances engagement. This research proposes an enhanced model architecture that leverages user-specific features, subreddit characteristics, and bidirectional LSTMs to improve personalization in text generation tasks. Building upon a baseline sequence-to-sequence model, the improved model incorporates user embeddings, self-attention mechanisms, and residual connections for richer context understanding. Additionally, features such as post count and average score are integrated to capture user behavior and preferences. The model was trained and tested on a large-scale Reddit dataset, with results showing significant improvements in both accuracy and the relevance of generated text. The final architecture achieved 83% validation accuracy. It produces more coherent and contextually appropriate outputs compared to the baseline. Future work will focus on refining feature engineering and enhancing the models ability to generate even more personalized and dynamic content, including multi-modal data such as images or user engagement over time.

Authors: He Xu
Published: November 2024

Image steganography, a technique for embedding secret information within images, has evolved significantly with the introduction of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Traditional methods often struggled with limitations such as low steganographic capacity and poor image quality. This article explores the integration of GANs into image steganography, focusing on three main applications: carrier modification, carrier selection, and carrier synthesis. GANs enhance the embedding capacity, imperceptibility, and security of steganographic systems by generating encrypted images that are robust against advanced steganalysis techniques. The study examines the advancements and challenges in applying GANs, highlighting the potential for further research and application. It is noted that while GANs offer substantial improvements, the diversity of methods and practical applications remains limited. Future research directions include exploring diverse techniques and enhancing generative models to produce more sophisticated steganographic content that could be integrated into daily use, aiming for broader and more secure applications in secure communications.

THE ILLUSIONS OF ‘WHITE BEAUTY’ AND THE POLITICS OF COLOR: A STUDY OF THE BLUEST EYE
Authors: Zaman Safa Tabassum
Published: November 2024

The Bluest Eye (1970) is an eye-opening novel that deals with the tremendous oppression of African-Americans. Toni Morrison brings out the conception that the appetence of having white skin devours the African-Americans and their self-esteem gradually becomes self-loathing. The illusions of white beauty and the politics of color are compatible. The keenness of having white skin originates from being a victim of the politics of color. Morrison traces Pecola, the protagonist of this novel, as the scapegoat of an inter-racial society. Her extreme struggle because of having a dark complexion ultimately drives her to be an insane psyche. All the individuals also endure the agitations and agony of the racial society. Pauline Breedlove, Cholly Breedlove, Geraldine, Frieda MacTeer and Claudia MacTeer- all of them become the victim of racism along with Pecola. This paper particularly focuses on the reprimand of the African-Americans for being black and their eagerness of having white skin for escaping those social stigmas in The Bluest Eye. The prejudice against western standards of beauty as well as the illusions of white beauty and its effects on the lives of African-Americans are thoroughly depicted here.

BOUNDARIES OF BORDER TRADE IN ECONOMIC POLICY
Authors: Kalaycı İrfan , Kaya Mehmet
Published: November 2024

This study aims to examine (cross-) border trade which is a necessity and a reality of global trade within economic policy. When the government wants to increase or decrease the border trade, it makes necessary legal arrangements and applies various economic policies. These implementations are within the scope of bilateral border trade agreements between countries and the borders established by international institutions. The inhabitants of the settlements close to the border gates and enterprises are parties to the border trade and try to increase their income through this trade. The importance of border trade in terms of economic policy has two dimensions: i-Economic policy aims at economic growth, low inflation and unemployment, fair income distribution, balance of payments, the fight against the black market, etc. ii-It should be determined which kind of economic policy instruments these objectives will be achieved. According to the capitalist order, although the decision-making body is accepted as a market in the solution of macro problems, in practice it is fixed with the experience that the state will be effective with various legal-political documents. Therefore. the means of economic control in the evolution of border trade spontaneously and necessarily outweigh rather than the monetary, financial, etc. policies.

Do Non-Traditional Loans Help Beginning and Female Farmers?
Authors: Nadolnyak Denis , Hartarska Valentina
Published: November 2024

Beginning farmers and ranchers (BFRs) and women farmers (WFRs) are growing cohorts within the U.S. agriculture. Compared to traditional producers, they are more credit constrained because of limited collateral usually required by traditional agricultural lenders. In recent years, non-traditional lenders entered agricultural credit markets but their role remains unclear. At the same time, traditional lenders consolidated and even closed facilities. We combine data on the use of Non-Traditional Loans (NTLs) from the 2018 Agricultural Research Management Survey and data on geographic location of branches of traditional agricultural lenders (Farm Credit System Institutions, Commercial Banks, and Credit Unions) and of providers of Alternative Financial Services (AFS) to evaluate whether the use of NTLs and access to lending facilities relates to productivity of BFRs and WFRs. The main finding is that the use of NTLs and access to credit from AFS is not associated with productivity. However, credit constraints remain relevant because BFRs and WFRs with larger number of loans are less productive. We conclude that concerns of producers and policy makers that nontraditional lenders may replace traditional ones to the detriment of productivity of vulnerable groups such as BFRs and WFRs are not supported by the data.

Medicine is always in contact with what is most emblematic of the human being: pain, disease, finitude, death and the idea of failure in health. Therefore, the doctor needs to be a very healthy person so that he can provide good care to others. However, increasingly, these professionals present themselves as vulnerable subjects to illness and bring up their precarious working conditions. These conditions can directly influence the level of satisfaction with the life of these professionals and predispose them to a situation of fragility in relation to themselves and others, putting them at risk of developing burnout syndrome. Therefore, the objective of this study was to apply and correlate a Life Satisfaction Scale validated by UFRS among anesthesiologists in the State of Piauí. Possible factors that may contribute to a lower level of satisfaction and the existence of factors that may lead to the development of Burnout Syndrome were identified. Most anesthesiologists in the State of Piauí are satisfied with life. The highest scores found are directly related to satisfaction with remuneration. There was no factor associated with a low level of life satisfaction, however, it can be seen that some interviewees are possibly emerging in risk factors related to a future illness.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: This study investigates the metaphorical language used in poetry by schizophrenia patients, aiming to reveal underlying cognitive and emotional patterns. Understanding these patterns can enhance therapeutic approaches and provide insights into the patients' mental states.Methods: A qualitative analysis was conducted on poetry written by a patient diagnosed with hebephrenic schizophrenia at Menur Mental Hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia. The analysis employed word frequency analysis (WFA) to identify recurring themes and metaphorical expressions, focusing on the emotional and cognitive implications of the language used.Results: The findings revealed a significant prevalence of metaphors related to pain, voice, and mind, indicating the patient's struggles with emotional distress and cognitive disorganization. The poetry exhibited patterns of repetition, particularly concerning the concept of illness, reflecting the patient's ongoing battle with their mental health condition. Additionally, the analysis highlighted the disorganized thought processes characteristic of schizophrenia, as evidenced by incoherent and fragmented expressions.Conclusions: The study underscores the therapeutic potential of poetry as a medium for self-expression among schizophrenia patients. By analyzing metaphorical language, clinicians can gain deeper insights into patients' emotional experiences, facilitating more empathetic and effective therapeutic interventions. Future research should explore the implications of these findings across diverse populations to further understand the intersection of mental health and creative expression.

Authors: Armas-Ingavélez María Paula , Galárraga-Pérez Edison Arturo
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease involves two main disorders: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Colonoscopy with biopsy is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of IBD, although these are invasive and costly techniques. In recent years, fecal calprotectin has gained relevance as a non-invasive biomarker with significant clinical utility. The effectiveness of fecal calprotectin has been demonstrated in distinguishing between IBD and irritable bowel syndrome, predicting endoscopic and histological activity, as well as disease recurrence.Objective: Review the current literature on the clinical utility of fecal calprotectin in the diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel diseases.Methods: Systematic review based on the PRISMA method, of studies obtained through searches in Scopus, PubMed, Virtual Health Library, Web of Science, Latindex, and Google Scholar. Primary and secondary studies published in the last five years in English and Spanish were included.Results: Nineteen studies were analyzed, describing high sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing IBD from IBS, helping to reduce the rate of unnecessary colonoscopies in patients with non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms. Additionally, fecal calprotectin was found to significantly correlate with endoscopic and histological activity.Conclusions: Fecal calprotectin is a reliable biomarker of mucosal inflammation, capable of identifying patients with a higher likelihood of having IBD, allowing for better management of colonoscopy resources and reducing associated costs.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a most significant and widely planted horticultural crop over the globe,ancestrally belonging to Solanaceae family. Its genetic formation makes it vulnerable to all pathogens (Viruses,Bacteria, Fungi, Nematodes, and Phytoplasmas). After viruses, phytoplasmas are the rising threat to tomatoproduction, as they cause significant yield losses across the globe. During the field visit of tomato growing areain Bahawalpur, tomato leaf samples showing prominent symptoms were collected and nucleic acid extractionwas performed to identify the causal agent of the disease. Extracted DNA was further processed usingpolymerase chain reaction as a molecular characterization technique. After 16S rRNA employing the gene-specific primer pair P1/P7, PCR product of about 1800 bp was amplified, and retrieved sequence was submittedto Genbank (accession Number: OQ651404). The sequence analysis was performed showing the maximumsimilarity with the Candidatus Phytoplasmas isolated from field bindweed (convolvulus arvensis L) reportedfrom Pakistan (accession Number: MT119155). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first evidence ofassociation of Candidatus Phytoplasmas with leaf shortening disease of tomato from Pakistan. The findingsrequire immediate attention and extensive investigation into their distribution in Pakistan, as well as appropriateinterventions.

Published: November 2024

Background: Neck pain was the second most common form of musculoskeletal injury reported in professional violinists. Neck pain has been identified as the second most frequent musculoskeletal disorder in professional violinists. Objectives: This study examines the effect of yoga exercises and neck stabilization on the range of neck movements, accuracy of head movement, and pain in the neck muscles. Methods: A total of 45 male violinists aged 18 - 25 with non-specific chronic neck pain participated in this study. All active neck range of motion movements (flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and right and left rotation), accuracy of head movements, and pain were assessed using a goniometer and photogrammetry, the head angle reconstruction test, and the visual pain index, both before and after six weeks of selected yoga exercises and neck stabilization training. Results: After six weeks of selected yoga and stabilization exercises, significant improvements were observed in the range of neck movement (P < 0.05), accuracy of head movements (P < 0.05), and pain reduction (P < 0.05) among violin players with non-specific chronic neck pain. Conclusions: The results indicate that yoga exercises and neck stabilization exercises yield effective results in increasing neck range of motion, enhancing the accuracy of head movement, and reducing pain. Therefore, incorporating yoga exercises as a supplementary exercise therapy is recommended to improve symptoms and disorders associated with non-specific chronic neck pain.

Published: November 2024

Context: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a symptomatic syndrome indicative of lower urinary tract dysfunction. Current treatments for OAB syndrome include behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy, minimally invasive procedures like sacral nerve stimulation and tibial nerve stimulation, as well as surgical options. Objectives: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) as a treatment for OAB syndrome and to identify potentially effective stimulation methods. Evidence Acquisition: A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and The Cochrane Library databases for predefined keywords. Two independent reviewers screened the studies’ titles, abstracts, and full texts. The quality of the studies was assessed using the JBI risk of bias (RoB) checklists. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria were summarized in an extraction table. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager Software. Results: Out of 2,282 studies identified, 63 were included in the data extraction table, and 19 of these were included in the meta-analysis to compare the effect of PTNS based on the number of treatment sessions (less than 12 sessions vs. 12 - 24 sessions). Despite heterogeneity among the studies, results showed a significant reduction in voiding frequency post-intervention (95% confidence interval, -4.25 to -1.48, P < 0.0001, Z = 4.06), with a greater reduction in the 12 - 24 sessions group (chi2 = 8.40, df = 1 (P < 0.004); I2 = 88.1%). Additionally, specific electrode placement methods further reduced voiding frequency after PTNS. Conclusions: Posterior tibial nerve stimulation can reduce voiding frequency in patients with OAB and painful bladder syndrome. However, establishing a standard PTNS method remains challenging due to variations among studies and the absence of control groups in many cases. Based on the results, PTNS with a frequency of 20 Hz, pulse duration of 200 µs, and stimulation intensity at the pain threshold appears effective for both transcutaneous and percutaneous techniques over 12 - 24 sessions. The percutaneous method may be more effective than the transcutaneous method.
