Authors: Khekan Ali , Kordaß Bernd
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to assess and contrast the effects on the vertical marginal fit of full contour CAD/CAM-generated monolithic zirconia crowns at pre- and post-cementation levels with various occlusal reduction schemes (planar and flat) and cements. Forty sound human maxillary first premolars were sampled for this study. The samples were divided into two main groups with twenty samples in each group according to the occlusal reduction scheme as follows: Group A included a chamfer finishing line design with a planar occlusal reduction scheme and Group B included a chamfer finishing line design with a flat occlusal reduction scheme. Each group was sampled into two subgroups (n = 10) based on the type of cement as follows: resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Fuji Plus) for subgroups A1 and B1, and a universal adhesive system (Duo Estecem II) for subgroups A2 and B2. Marginal gaps were tested in four indentations using a Dino light stereomicroscope (230×). Paired T-tests and Student’s t-tests were used to analyze the data. Before cementation, subgroup A1 scored the lowest mean of vertical marginal gap values, while subgroup B2 scored the highest mean; following cementation, subgroup A1 scored the lowest mean of vertical marginal gap values, and subgroup B2 scored the highest mean of vertical marginal gap values. A chamfer finishing line design with a planar occlusal reduction scheme could be a preferable occlusal reduction scheme.

Published: March 2024

With the rapid development of remote sensing technology, remote sensing target detection faces many problems; for example, there is still no good solution for small targets with complex backgrounds and simple features. In response to the above, we have added dynamic snake convolution (DSC) to YOLOv7. In addition, SPPFCSPC is used instead of the original spatial pyramid pooling structure; the original loss function was replaced with the EIoU loss function. This study was evaluated on UAV image data (VisDrone2019), which were compared with mainstream algorithms, and the experiments showed that this algorithm has a good average accuracy. Compared to the original algorithm, the mAP0.5 of the present algorithm is improved by 4.3%. Experiments proved that this algorithm outperforms other algorithms.
HAG-NET: Hiding Data and Adversarial Attacking with Generative Adversarial Network
Authors: Fan Haiju , Wang Jinsong
Published: March 2024

Recent studies on watermarking techniques based on image carriers have demonstrated new approaches that combine adversarial perturbations against steganalysis with embedding distortions. However, while these methods successfully counter convolutional neural network-based steganalysis, they do not adequately protect the data of the carrier itself. Recognizing the high sensitivity of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to small perturbations, we propose HAG-NET, a method based on image carriers, which is jointly trained by the encoder, decoder, and attacker. In this paper, the encoder generates Adversarial Steganographic Examples (ASEs) that are adversarial to the target classification network, thereby providing protection for the carrier data. Additionally, the decoder can recover secret data from ASEs. The experimental results demonstrate that ASEs produced by HAG-NET achieve an average success rate of over 99% on both the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets. ASEs generated with the attacker exhibit greater robustness in terms of attack ability, with an average increase of about 3.32%. Furthermore, our method, when compared with other generative stego examples under similar perturbation strength, contains significantly more information according to image information entropy measurements.

Published: March 2024

A novel self-adaptive bilateral control strategy is introduced to manage uncertainties inherent in the teleoperation of an underwater manipulator system effectively. In response to uncertainties stemming from both the mathematical model and external disturbances, our approach offers innovative solutions. Firstly, to address uncertainties in the master model parameters, we propose a reference adaptive impedance control based on a nominal model. This control strategy dynamically adjusts the reference position of the desired model, leveraging adaptive control laws to compensate for model uncertainties. Additionally, to tackle uncertainties specific to the slave manipulator, we employ adaptive compensation using radial basis function (RBF) networks. Our unique combination of sliding mode variable structure controllers and robust adaptive controllers aims to mitigate approximation errors, ensuring precise tracking of the master manipulator’s position by the slave manipulator. By employing Lyapunov function analysis, we demonstrate the system’s superior tracking performance and global stability, with assured asymptotic convergence for force–position tracking. Through comprehensive experimentation, our results showcase the exceptional force–position tracking capabilities of the overall control system, even under challenging conditions of model uncertainties and external disturbances. Moreover, our system exhibits remarkable stability, reliability, and robustness, underscoring the effectiveness of our proposed adaptive control approach.
Developing Emotional Intelligence
Authors: Filice Lucas , Weese W. James
Published: March 2024

Daniel Goleman perceptively and accurately noted that emotional intelligence is critical to leadership success, claiming that emotional intelligence is far more important to leadership emergence and effectiveness than intellectual capacity. Goleman’s research later confirmed an 85% relationship between emotional intelligence and leader effectiveness. It may be the most critical area for current and aspiring leaders to develop. While leadership scholars accept the importance of emotional intelligence for leadership and the fact that emotional intelligence can be developed, there appears to be some uncertainty around how emotional intelligence can be developed. The authors shed light on that area and provide current and aspiring leaders with some proven strategies for developing the four predominant components of emotional intelligence. The importance of emotional intelligence to leadership is well documented, and leaders would be well served by working to heighten their levels of emotional intelligence and, in doing so, increase their leadership potential, efficacy, and impact.
Sustainable and Resilient Land Use Planning: A Multi-Objective Optimization Approach
Authors: Sicuaio Tomé , Zhao Pengxiang , Pilesjo Petter , Shindyapin Andrey , Mansourian Ali
Published: March 2024

Land use allocation (LUA) is of prime importance for the development of urban sustainability and resilience. Since the process of planning and managing land use requires balancing different conflicting social, economic, and environmental factors, it has become a complex and significant issue in urban planning worldwide. LUA is usually regarded as a spatial multi-objective optimization (MOO) problem in previous studies. In this paper, we develop an MOO approach for tackling the LUA problem, in which maximum economy, minimum carbon emissions, maximum accessibility, maximum integration, and maximum compactness are formulated as optimal objectives. To solve the MOO problem, an improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm III (NSGA-III) is proposed in terms of mutation and crossover operations by preserving the constraints on the sizes for each land use type. The proposed approach was applied to KaMavota district, Maputo City, Mozambique, to generate a proper land use plan. The results showed that the improved NSGA-III yielded better performance than the standard NSGA-III. The optimal solutions produced by the MOO approach provide good trade-offs between the conflicting objectives. This research is beneficial for policymakers and city planners by providing alternative land use allocation plans for urban sustainability and resilience.

Background: Adolescent obesity has markedly increased worldwide, and metabolic bariatric surgery is an effective treatment option. A major predictor of the outcomes of this procedure is adherence to post-surgery lifestyle changes and medical recommendations. While adolescents generally have more difficulty adhering to medical advice than adults, their failure to do so could adversely affect their physical and psychological health, the cost-effectiveness of medical care, and the results of clinical trials. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to identify the characteristics associated with the adherence of adolescents and their families to medical advice after bariatric surgery. Methods: We investigated potential variables influencing adherence to medical advice in adolescents diagnosed with severe obesity enrolled in a nutritional and behavior-oriented bariatric program—a 3-month pre-surgical outpatient intervention and a 6-month post-surgical follow-up. The program monitored weight, program attendance, diet compliance, lifestyle changes, and daily activities. All participants and parents completed a standard battery of questionnaires, provided demographic information, and participated in a semi-structured interview about their lifestyle. Results: The study group consisted of 47 adolescents: 34 girls and 13 boys, aged 13–18 years. Over time, three groups emerged with different degrees of adherence—high, low, and delayed low adherence. The analyses showed that adolescents’ depression, autonomy, and independence from their family had strong, significant effects on adherence across the groups. Conclusions: Using adherence typologies, practitioners may be able to identify, predict, and tailor interventions to improve adolescent adherence to post-surgery recommendations. Parents have an important role in ensuring that adolescents undergoing metabolic bariatric surgery follow medical advice after the procedure.

Authors: Hassani Sepideh , Chen Chih-Hung , Nikolova Natalia K.
Published: March 2024

This paper addresses the design of ultra-wideband (UWB) impedance matching networks operating in the unlicensed 3.1–10.6 GHz frequency band for low-power applications. It improves the simplified real frequency technique (SRFT) by adding a realizability check and employing an iterative approach with different initial guesses in optimization to achieve realizable solutions under the requirements of UWB, low-power consumption, and a minimum number of circuit components. The comparison of solutions obtained using the SRFT with published solutions based on the Chebyshev filter theory is presented. It is shown that the optimal SRFT solution requires fewer components in the impedance matching network, maximizes the RF power delivery over the UWB spectrum with a reflection coefficient below −10 dB, and allows for circuit optimization to reduce power consumption. Using the improved SRFT, it demonstrates a systematic approach to find the strategies and limitations of designing the input matching networks for low-power UWB applications using GlobalFoundries 90 nm BiCMOS technology.
Analysis of Influencing Factors on Farmers’ Willingness to Pay for the Use of Residential Land Based on Supervised Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: Jin Jiafang , Li Xinyi , Liu Guoxiu , Dai Xiaowen , Ran Ruiping
Published: March 2024

Aimed at advancing the reform of the Paid Use of Residential Land, this study investigates the willingness to pay among farmers and its underlying factors. Based on a Logistic Regression analysis of a micro-survey of 450 pieces of data from the Sichuan Province in 2023, we evaluated the effects of three factors, namely individual, regional and cultural forces. Further, Random Forest analysis and SHAP value interpretation refined our insights into these effects. Firstly, the research reveals a significant willingness to pay, with 83.6% of sample farmers being ready to participate in the reform, and 53.1% of them preferring online payment (the funds are mostly expected to be used for village infrastructure improvements). Secondly, the study implies that Individual Force is the most impactful factor, followed by regional and cultural forces. Thirdly, the three factors show different effects on farmers’ willingness to pay from different income groups, i.e., villagers with poorer infrastructure and lower clarity of homestead policy systems tend to be against the reform, whereas farmers with strong urban identity and collective pride support it. Based on these findings, efforts should be made to increase the publicity of Paid Use of Residential Land. Moreover, we should clarify the reform policies, accelerate the development of the online payment platform, use the funds for village infrastructure improvements, and advocate for care-based fee measures for disadvantaged groups.

Published: March 2024

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) play a crucial role in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, there is a lack of useful biomarkers for assessing treatment efficacy. Through urinary metabolite analysis, we identified the metabolites and pathways involved in TKI resistance and elucidated the mechanism of TKI resistance. To verify the involvement of the identified metabolites obtained from urine metabolite analysis, we established sunitinib-resistant RCC cells and elucidated the antitumor effects of controlling the identified metabolic pathways in sunitinib-resistant RCC cells. Through the analysis of VEGFR signaling, we aimed to explore the mechanisms underlying the antitumor effects of metabolic control. Glutamine metabolism has emerged as a significant pathway in urinary metabolite analyses. In vitro and in vivo studies have revealed the antitumor effects of sunitinib-resistant RCC cells via knockdown of glutamine transporters. Furthermore, this antitumor effect is mediated by the control of VEGFR signaling via PTEN. Our findings highlight the involvement of glutamine metabolism in the prognosis and sunitinib resistance in patients with advanced RCC. Additionally, the regulating glutamine metabolism resulted in antitumor effects through sunitinib re-sensitivity in sunitinib-resistant RCC. Our results are expected to contribute to the more effective utilization of TKIs with further improvements in prognosis through current drug therapies.

Published: March 2024

The combination of two-dimensional material MXene and one-dimensional metal oxide semiconductor can improve the carrier transmission rate, which can effectively improve sensing performance. We prepared a trimethylamine gas sensor based on MoO3 nanofibers and layered Ti3C2Tx MXene. Using electrospinning and chemical etching methods, one-dimensional MoO3 nanofibers and two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets were prepared, respectively, and the composites were characterized via XPS, SEM, and TEM. The Ti3C2Tx MXene–MoO3 composite material exhibits excellent room-temperature response characteristics to trimethylamine gas, showing high response (up to four for 2 ppm trimethylamine gas) and rapid response–recovery time (10 s/7 s). Further, we have studied the possible sensitivity mechanism of the sensor. The Ti3C2Tx MXene–MoO3 composite material has a larger specific surface area and more abundant active sites, combined with p–n heterojunction, which effectively improves the sensitivity of the sensor. Because of its low detection limit and high stability, it has the potential to be applied in the detection system of trimethylamine as a biomarker in exhaled air.

Adaptation of the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults to Turkish Culture
Authors: Keskin Dudu , Lajunen Timo
Published: March 2024

This study addresses the pervasive human experience of loneliness, shifting from a traditional unidimensional perspective to a more nuanced, multidimensional understanding. The Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA) was developed based on this conceptual shift, and this study focuses on adapting the scale to Turkish culture. Data from 197 Turkish adults (Mean age = 23 years, SD = 5.12) were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis, revealing a three-factor structure consistent with the original scale. The factors, namely social loneliness, romantic loneliness, and family loneliness, explained 23.7%, 17.5%, and 10.4% of the variance, respectively. One item was excluded from the scale due to the lack of contribution to any factor. Clear factor analysis results and high Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients (0.92, 0.93, and 0.90 for social, romantic, and family loneliness, respectively, and 0.90 for the total scale) indicate strong internal consistency. The findings not only affirm the applicability of SELSA in the Turkish context but also contribute to a nuanced understanding of loneliness. The multidimensional approach, supported by robust psychometric properties, offers a valuable tool for comprehensively assessing and addressing diverse facets of loneliness in Turkish young adults.
A Subsidization Scheme for Maximizing Social Welfare in Mobile Communications Markets

Published: March 2024

In contemporary mobile communications markets, various agents or players interact to pursue welfare. Regulatory policies enacted by governments in certain markets aim to maximize social welfare. However, some countries, both least developed and developing, often adopt successful models from developed nations without local market validation. Therefore, network economics serves as a pertinent framework for analyzing such policies. This paper introduces a novel scheme based on constrained optimization problems, where the constraints represent multilevel economic game equilibria within a system model involving three agents: the central planner, the mobile network operator, and the mobile data users. These agents strategically optimize their payoff functions by considering benefit factors and decision variables such as the subsidization factor, pricing, and data consumption. To this end, a three-stage dynamic game is proposed to model the players’ interactions, employing the backward induction method to ascertain the subgame perfect equilibrium from the Nash equilibrium. A case study is presented, demonstrating a 31.16% increase in social welfare between scenarios involving no adoption of the subsidization factor and its adoption at the optimal value when the central planner enacts it to other players in the game, even if they do not necessarily attain maximum payoff values. In countries aligning with this proposed model, social welfare is maximized through a subsidization scheme.

The information on the current state of the horse population in the Russian Federation, its distribution by farm category over the past three years has been provided in the article. Between 2020 and 2022, the number of horses in agricultural organizations in Russia decreased by 21 thousand. On the contrary, in privet households there was an increase in the number of horses by 16 thousand heads, and in peasant (farm) farms by 13 thousand heads. The material on pedigree horse breeding in the Stavropol Territory has been also provided in the work. The founders of horse breeding in the region are the Stavropol and Terek stud farms, which were organized in 1921. On their basis a new promising breed of horses was established as Terek breed, which today is on the verge of extinction. It is bred only by private owners and then in small quantities. Targeted work is needed to preserve the gene pool and restore the population of this horse breed. Information is presented on existing stud farms and multiplication farms, which are located in the Stavropol region. Under the conditions of four stud farms, two multiplication farms located in 5 districts of the region. There the following breeds of horses are bred such as Akhal-Teke, Thoroughbred riding, Arabian and Karachay. The total number of breeding horses in the Stavropol Territory at the beginning of 2023 was 862 heads, including 302 mares and 36 stud stallions. Training and systematic testing of horses take place at the Pyatigorsk Racetrack. Horse racing takes place every Sunday from May to October. In general, the dynamics of the horse population in Russia indicates that horse breeding continues to be an important sector of the economy and can be an attractive area for investors and businessmen.

Published: March 2024

Розглянуто проблему зв’язку ціннісних та інституційних взаємин у процесі
демократизації суспільства. Проаналізовано фактори, що перешкоджають
утвердженню демократичних інститутів у суспільстві. Стверджується, що
відображенням демократичних трансформацій у соціальній сфері є соціальна політика, заснована на принципах субсидіарності. Існує стійка кореляція між рівнем індивідуалізму і рівнем демократизації. З’ясовано, що індивідуалізм може впливати на демократію, але можливо зворотне: чим довше люди живуть в умовах демократії, тим більшими індивідуалістами вони стають. Наголошено, що культура може перешкоджати демократизації. Країни з індивідуалістичної культурою стають демократіями раніше держав з традицією колективізму, які можуть надовго застрягти в стадії щодо
ефективної автократії. З’ясовано, що саме високий показник індивідуалізму та дистанції влади свідчать про свободу і демократію, що є базовими для розвинених західних суспільств. Досліджено, що індивідуалізм характерний для західних розвинених країн, а колективізм – менш розвинених східних. Наведені загальні вимоги щодо успішного переходу до демократії. Країни з більш індивідуалістичної культурою в більшою мірою схильні до підприємництва та інновацій, ринкових відносин, так як культура індивідуалізму сприяє прийняттю на себе ризиків і відповідальності. Колективістські культури характеризуються меншою схильністю до ризику і більшою схильністю до розширеного використання державних форм регулювання.

Authors: Mahlangu Nosiphiwo , Naudé-Potgieter Rosa
Published: March 2024

e-Sports is a rapidly growing industry, which has gained popularity in the recent years. It is estimated that the global e-sports market will have a value of $1.87 billion in 2025. e-Sports competitions and tournaments are becoming increasingly popular, especially among schoolchildren and college students. The growth of leagues, at school level, requires that parents should understand this sport and have a positive attitude towards e-sports and e-sports events, due to the likely support that parents are required to provide to participants at these events. The study is a preliminary study, which aims to understand parents' view of e-sports, as a form of sports, to determine the financial investment to participate in e-sports and parents’ experience during an e-sport event. The study used a qualitative approach, utilising a semi-structured interview schedule, with six parents interviewed at an event, as well as a focus group discussion, with 21 parents of e-sports players. The study found that parents have a positive perception of e-sports events and are fully supportive of their children participating in them. Further, it was concluded that e-sports is viewed as a form of sports and, in comparison to other ‘traditional sports’, it is actually a very affordable form of sport to partake in. Parents spend most of their money at e-sports events on food, whilst some parents will go to a restaurant after the event, to celebrate the child’s accomplishments. The results of this preliminary study will guide further studies on e-sports events and are already giving an indication to e-sports organisers what the perspectives and needs of parents are.
