ОБОРОНА Г. ГРОЗНОГО КАК ФЕНОМЕН ПАТРИОТИЗМА СОВЕТСКОГО ОБЩЕСТВА В ГОДЫ ВЕЛИКОЙ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННОЙ ВОЙНЫ (культурно-исторический анализ)
Authors: Нанаева Б.Б.
Published: November 2024

В статье произведен культурно-исторический анализ одной из важнейших страниц Великой Отечественной войны 1941-45 гг. – обороны г. Грозного. Проблема рассмотрена в контексте интернационального патриотизма, проявленного советскими людьми в период военных действий. На примере одного из этносов Северного Кавказа – чеченцев автор раскрывает интернациональную природу патриотизма советского общества, который формировался в процессе многовекового взаимодействия народов страны. Сделан вывод о том, что интернациональный патриотизм советского общества – это закономерный результат длительного историко-культурного взаимодействия народов России, в том числе и чеченского народа. Интернациональный патриотизм, проявленный в период обороны г. Грозного, рассмотрен как неотъемлемый компонент самосознания этносов.
ТРУДОВОЙ ПОДВИГ НАСЕЛЕНИЯ ЧЕЧЕНО-ИНГУШЕТИИ В ПЕРИОД ВЕЛИКОЙ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННОЙ ВОЙНЫ
Authors: Цуцулаева С.С.
Published: November 2024

Великая Отечественная война тяжелым бременем легла на плечи тружеников тыла. Их вклад в Победу не менее значим, чем сражения воинов на фронтах. Без их самоотверженного труда исход войны был бы совершенно иным. Не отставало от других регионов страны и население Чечено-Ингушетии. Нефтеперерабатывающие и нефтедобывающие предприятия Грозного обеспечивали соответствующей продукцией самолеты, танки и другую технику, колхозы кормили наших бойцов. Обо всем этом пишет автор в данной статье. Кроме того, автор отмечает такой необычный факт, отличающий уникальный характер советских людей, как подарки фронту. Люди, еле державшиеся на ногах из-за хронического недоедания и усталости, находили в себе силы собрать и отправить нехитрые подарки бойцам, чтобы поднять их боевой дух. Таких людей ничто не могло сломить.

Published: November 2024

В статье получили отражение героические ратные подвиги комсомольцев и молодёжи многонационального Дагестана в решающих сражениях 1943 года за Сталинград и Кавказ в годы Великой Отечественной войны. Ярким выражением патриотизма молодёжи Северного Кавказа в тяжёлое для страны время лета 1942 г. стал антифашистский митинг молодёжи Северного Кавказа (Грозный, август 1942 г.). Особый интерес представляют материалы об участии женской молодёжи Дагестана в обороне столицы Чечено-Ингушетии города Грозного. Благодаря мужеству, стойкости и самоотверженности советских воинов, в числе которых были также дагестанские юноши, девушки, удалось добиться коренного перелома в ходе войны. Подвиги М.Баймурзаева, А.Алиева, Ш.Абрамова, Я.Кулиева, П.Смирнова, Х.Нурадилова и др. навсегда остались в народной памяти, имена героев высечены на плитах памятника–ансамбля на Мамаевом кургане в Волгограде.

Proletariusze mitologii
Authors: Próchniak Paweł
Published: November 2024

Mit jest sposobem wnikania w istnienie, jest narzędziem i formą poznania. Jest też formą intuicji, która wychodzi naprzeciw poczuciu, że ludzka rzeczywistość – również w jej codziennym, najbardziej powszednim wymiarze – zanurzona jest w porządku, który nazwać można "realnością bogów" (rozumianą niekoniecznie w paradygmacie religijnej wyobraźni). W tak nakreślonej perspektywie autor umieszcza Króla mrówek Zbigniewa Herberta, pokazując wybrane wątki tej "prywatnej mitologii" poety i akcentując zwłaszcza ich egzystencjalny oraz metafizyczny kontur. Stawia jednocześnie tezę, że w prozach tworzących tom słychać czułość wobec tego, co w człowieku dotknięte przez nieszczęście, "zwichnięte i bezbronne", naznaczone skazą, a jednocześnie w tych samych prozach dochodzi do głosu poczucie, że człowiek pozostaje "zabawką bogów", że ludzką egzystencją rządzi "gorzki komizm wrastający w los".
Cogito i problem poezji
Authors: Klinger Michał
Published: November 2024

Podjęty jest problem kryterium poetyckości w oparciu o doświadczenie autorskiej lektury Pana Cogito przez Zbigniewa Herberta w połowie lat 70. Tłem są wybrane fenomeny poezji od ich archaicznego początku melicznego po nowe, odchodzące od „muzyczności” poezji,  koncepcje, np. Chlebnikowa i Przybosia. Podana zostanie, mało u nas znana, fenomenologia poezji opartej o paralelizm członów, żywa od Biblii po liturgię bizantyjską i praktykę cerkiewno-słowiańską. „Pan Cogito” staje wobec dwoistości działania poezji – drogą poza-racjonalną („muzyczną”), lub drogą „przesłania” treści (dla rozumu). Wskazane są pozycje Brodskiego i Miłosza. Postawiona zostaje teza, iż Pan Cogito ostatecznie odnajduje się po stronie melicznego „początku” poezji.
Pan Cogito i Pan Credo razem idą przez świat
Authors: Wierzbicki Alfred
Published: November 2024

W artykule mowa o przygodach czytelnika i poety z tomem wierszy Zbigniewa Herberta Pan Cogito. Wspomnienie lektury pierwszych dwóch wierszy: Pan Cogito rozważa różnicę między głosem ludzkim  a głosem przyrody oraz Sekwoja. Próba zmierzenia się z całością bytu i dziejów dostarcza klucza do zrozumienia metafizycznych i etycznych wątków poetyckiego dzieła Herberta. W dialogu z poetycką personą Pana Cogito rodzi się poetycka persona Pana Credo, obecna w wierszach Alfreda Marka Wierzbickiego. Nie ma w nich polemiki, jest to raczej spotkanie i towarzyszenie sobie dwóch doświadczeń duchowych.
Kültepe’den Pasiphae Betimli Kurşun Sırlı Bir Skyphos
Authors: Tüysüz Burcu , Kulakoglu Fikri
Published: November 2024

Kültepe’nin Hellenistik Dönemi’ne yönelik yapılan kazı çalışmaları sırasında, yerleşimin farklı coğrafyalarla kurduğu kültürel ve ticari ilişkileri kanıtlayan ithal seramik grupları ele geçmiştir. Söz konusu ithal seramikler arasında yer alan kurşun sırlı bir skyphos bu çalışmada değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. İlk kez detaylı bir şekilde değerlendirilecek olan parça 1971 yılı kazılarında 111/LXXXV-LXXXVI karesinde MÖ 2. yüzyılın ortaları ile MÖ 1. yüzyıla tarihlenen yapı katında bulunmuştur. Skyphos ağız kenarı, gövde ve kaide parçası olarak ele geçmiş olup kulp ve gövdesinin bir bölümü eksiktir. Hamur-sır özellikleri skyphosun Tarsus üretimi olduğunu göstermektedir. Parçanın en önemli özelliği üzerindeki betimlemedir. Kabartma tekniğinde yapılmış olan bu betimlemeye Yunan mitolojisinden Pasiphae miti konu olmuştur. Skyphosun benzer bir örneğine Anadolu’da rastlanmamıştır. Ancak karşılaştırma yapılabilecek ve Kültepe skyphosunun eksik olan bölümlerin yorumlanmasını sağlayacak tek bir örnek Los Angeles’ta özel bir müzede tespit edilmiştir. Skyphos bu yönüyle oldukça ünik bir parça olup, kullanıldığı dönemde yüksek alım gücüne işaret etmektedir.
Between the Harem and Feminism: The Translation and Circulation of Arab Women Novelists
Authors: BEKKAOUI Salaheddine
Published: November 2024

This article critically examines the translation and circulation of literary works authored by Arab women novelists in the 1990s, a period marked by an unprecedented surge in the translation of Arabic-gendered fiction. Through the critiques of Michel Hartman and Marilyn Booth, it aims to shed light on the intricate interplay between translation and gender. Moreover, it probes how the translation and distribution of Arab women's fiction are entwined with the complex politics of Orientalism and frequently shaped by the dynamics of white Western feminism. The study explores the opportunities and challenges encountered by Arab women writers to gain international recognition and the extent to which translation can serve as a medium for their voices to resonate across cultural and linguistic boundaries. Central to the analysis is an exploration of power dynamics inherent in the selection, translation, and promotion of Arabic women writers, taking into account the influence of Western literary markets and feminist discourses. By scrutinizing the contributions of translators and publishers, the research underscores how feminist principles shape the visibility and reception of Arabic-gendered literature on a global scale.
Vision transformers for glioma classification using T1 magnetic resonance imaging
Authors: Wickramasinghe W. M. S. P. B. , B. Dissanayake Maheshi
Published: November 2024

Automated image analysis and classification have increasingly advanced in recent decades owing to machine learning and computer vision. In particular, deep learning (DL) architectures have become popular in resource-limited and labor-restricted environments such as the health-care sector. Transformer architecture, a DL method with self-attention mechanism, excels in natural language processing; however, its application in image-based diagnosis in health-care sector remains limited. Herein, the feasibility, bottlenecks, and performance of transformers in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based brain tumor classification were investigated. To this end, a vision transformer (ViT) model was trained and tested using the popular Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) 2015 dataset for glioma classification. Owing to limited data availability, domain adaptation techniques were used to pretrain the ViT model and the BraTS 2015 dataset was used for its fine-tuning. With the model only trained for 100 epochs, the confusion matrix for the two-class problem of tumor and nontumor classification showed an overall classification accuracy of 81.8%. In conclusion, although convolutional neural networks are traditionally used for DL-based medical image classification owing to their attention mechanism and long-range dependency-capturing capability, ViTs can outperform them in MRI-based brain tumor classification.

Published: November 2024

The goal of this study is to better understand public perceptions of biodiversity loss, with a focus on the connections between deforestation and the eventual extinction of plants, animals, and birds. In Malaysia, a questionnaire study covering five variables – deforestation, the extinction of mammals, birds, and plants – as well as the moderating effect of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on public attitudes toward biodiversity loss – was conducted. Using online survey methods, 505 valid responses in total were acquired, and SMART-PLS was used for data analysis. Deforestation (the independent variable) is significantly and positively correlated with the extinction of birds, mammals, and plants, respectively. The study also demonstrates how COVID-19 moderates animal extinction and its impact on public perceptions of biodiversity protection. However, statistical study shows that popular perceptions of biodiversity protection are not significantly impacted by the loss of birds or plants. This study adds to the body of knowledge on the importance of public attitudes in reducing environmental degradation by providing a thorough analysis of popular attitudes toward biodiversity protection. The research has important ramifications for governments and organizations working to promote environmentally friendly behaviors, improve ecosystem sustainability, and encourage environmentally friendly organizations.

Cytopénies auto-immunes en réanimation : ce que le réanimateur doit connaître
Authors: Gourguechon Clement , Brault Clément , Godeau Bertrand
Published: November 2024

Les cytopénies auto-immunes sont caractérisées par une destruction immunologique des éléments figurés du sang. Le réanimateur peut être confronté à ces pathologies, soit en raison de la sévérité de la cytopénie ou de l’affection sous-jacente ; mais également à l’évoquer devant une cytopénie, qui est une anomalie biologique fréquente en réanimation et dont les étiologies peuvent être multiples et intriquées, rendant le diagnostic de cytopénie auto-immune parfois complexe. Elles partagent, outre leur rareté, l’association à de nombreuses circonstances pathologiques, qu’elles soient d’origine infectieuses, auto-immunes, ou onco-hématologiques. Le diagnostic d’une cytopénie auto-immune, AHAI ou PTI est souvent inaugural d’une pathologie sous-jacente, requérant donc une même démarche diagnostique. Celle-ci est en générale menée de façon simultanée à la prise en charge thérapeutique, dont la corticothérapie constitue généralement la première ligne de traitement spécifique. Les autres thérapeutiques spécifiques font appel aux immunoglobulines intraveineuses, aux anticorps monoclonaux anti CD20 et aux immunosuppresseurs alors que la place de la splénectomie tend à se réduire. La transfusion de concentrés plaquettaires et érythrocytaires fait partie de la prise en charge pour les formes les plus sévères où le pronostic vital est engagé. Le rendement transfusionnel est généralement limité mais peut permettre dans les situations critiques de réussir à passer un cap en attendant l’efficacité du traitement spécifique.
L’imagerie cérébrale diagnostique en réanimation en 10 points : indications, aspects typiques, astuces à connaître et pièges à éviter
Authors: Hermann Bertrand , Hmeydia Ghazi , Legouy Camille
Published: November 2024

La défaillance neurologique aigue est très fréquente en réanimation, que ce soit comme motif d’admission ou à l’occasion d’une complication pendant le séjour. L’anamnèse et l’examen clinique sont indispensables mais peuvent être pris en défaut du fait du recours à la ventilation mécanique et à des traitements sédatifs. L’imagerie cérébrale par tomodensitométrie (TDM) et plus encore par imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM), sont susceptibles d’apporter des éléments diagnostiques et pronostiques indispensables dans un grand nombre de situation. Le raffinement de ces techniques et leur disponibilité grandissante en font des examens ayant maintenant leur place dans la pratique quotidienne de réanimation. Que ce soit pour guider la prise en charge thérapeutique à la phase aiguë d’un accident vasculaire cérébral ou d’un traumatisé crânien ou pour aider au diagnostic positif et étiologique d’une méningo-encéphalite, d’une suspicion d’encéphalopathie métabolique ou encore d’une processus expansif intracrânien, les aspects techniques et l’interprétation d’une TDM et d’une IRM doivent donc être connus des réanimateurs. Dans cette revue narrative, nous présenterons les indications et l’apport, principalement diagnostique, de la TDM et de l’IRM en réanimation ainsi que quelques pièges à éviter dans 10 situations cliniques courantes.

Authors:   Taegu Science University Defense Security Institute, Lee Ga Ryoung
Published: November 2024

This study explored the effects of personal characteristics on dental fear in some high school students in Ulsan, and studied the correlation and causal relationship between general fear and dental fear. Data collection was conducted with 401 students enrolled in three high schools from April 22 to May 30, 2024. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire tool were analyzed by applying exploratory factor analysis and principal component analysis, and individual substrate types were classified through cluster analysis. Through t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Scheffe's post-test, the difference in fear related to dental treatment and general fear according to personal characteristics was compared, and the causal relationship between personal characteristics, general fear factors, and fear factors related to dental treatment was identified through path analysis. As a result of the study analysis, female students felt more fear in general than male students, and there was a significant difference between dental fear and general fear according to individual temperament, and as a result of studying the influence relationship between each factor through path analysis, the factor that has the greatest influence on the fear related to dental treatment was found to be the fear of physical threats. On the other hand, fear varies depending on temperament in all fear factors, so a customized approach is necessary to control dental fear.
Study on rock-breaking characteristics of constant section and spherical tooth hob with the aid of slot produced by water jet
Authors: Xuhui Zhang  , Kang Long  , Tao Tan  , Sijia Li  , LianLian Tan
Published: November 2024

In order to analyze and compare the rock-breaking characteristics of constant section hob (CS hob) and spherical tooth hob (ST hob) with the aid of slot produced by water jet, a linear cutting models of granite using two types of hobs under the slot conditions were established using the finite element method. The cutting forces, rock-breaking states, and specific energy consumption of hobs were calculated. The research results revealed that during the cutting process, both types of hobs can induce surface and internal tensile cracks in the rock. There exists a critical cutting width for each type of hob, within which the tensile cracks can extend to the slot, promoting rock fragmentation and generating large rock chips. Under the slot conditions, the vertical and rolling forces on ST hob were found to be smaller than those on CS hob. Moreover, the cutting force of the hob can be greatly decreased by using the proper cutting width. When the hob can effectively utilize the slot for breaking rock, their specific energy consumption is significantly lower than it would be without the slot, which greatly improves the effectiveness of cracking rocks. Additionally, it was discovered that the specific energy consumption of the ST hob was lower than the CS hob's, indicating that with the aid of slot produced by water jet, the rock-breaking efficiency of ST hob is higher than that of CS hob.
Reflections on Social Justice in the Promotion of Biotechnology Crops and Institutionalisation of Food Values among Smallholder Farmers in Central Uganda
Authors: Serugo Paulous , Ssentongo Jimmy Spire , Byalebeka John
Published: November 2024

The academic discourse of agricultural biotechnology carries a lot of information on how biotechnology crops are crucial in realizing food security once they are fully adopted by farmers. Biotechnology crops are seen as the solution to ameliorate the Malthusian catastrophe of population increase threatening food security. While studies on agricultural biotechnology are increasing, they mainly focus on how the new agriculture science produces crops with desirable traits in supporting food production interventions. Few studies have concerned themselves with the social justice implications among smallholder farmers, posed by institutionalised agricultural biotechnology knowledge with its sophistication. This paper addresses itself to the above lacuna. The data collection used an embedded mixed method design with focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and questionnaire survey methods. The paper shows that mechanisms that are used to promote biotechnology crops are highly institutionalized. The institutions not only develop the biotechnology crops but also engage in mechanisms that encourage smallholder farmers to adopt these crops. The major social justice concerns addressed by this study are plant diversity, equity and commercialization of biotechnology-generated seeds/crops, participation, and farming choices
Modeling the Predictors of Poverty in Agricultural Households in Uganda: Application of Multilevel and Interaction Methods
Authors: Habimana Robert , Tindimwebwa Kenneth , Okurut Francis
Published: November 2024

This study aimed to model the predictors of poverty in agricultural households in Uganda. The study's specific objectives were to examine the effect of individual predictors of poverty and analyze the contribution of community predictors of poverty in agricultural households. The study utilized data from the Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS, 2019/20) obtained from the Uganda Bureau of Statistics. A sample of 13,732 households was randomly selected from the total weighted sample representation of 11.3 million households involved in agricultural activities.  A logit model was used in the analysis and estimates were provided using multilevel and interaction methods. Key findings suggest that poverty in agricultural households was positively and significantly influenced by the gender of the household head, marital status of the household head, income stability of the household, age of the household head and livestock ownership.  Additionally, regional differences accounted for 17.9 % of the variations in poverty levels in Uganda and understanding such regional differences and their influence on poverty levels can assist policymakers and organizations in designing targeted interventions and policies to reduce poverty levels among households. Such measures can address the specific challenges faced by different regions and promote more equitable development across the country. However, poverty in agricultural households was negatively and significantly influenced by residence status, savings account ownership and household size. Based on the study's findings, the key policy recommendations were that; the government should continue implementing gender-focused interventions to address gender disparities among women empowerment programs that involve access to resources including land, equal access to employment opportunities and equal access to education to reduce poverty among women. Regarding income instabilities in agricultural households due to price fluctuations, the government should empower farmers to form farmer groups where they can collectively increase their bargaining power to avoid price fluctuations.

Given the characteristic endoscopic and radiological findings, as well as its difficult subsequent management, it is a challenging clinical case.
Splenic infarction without thrombosis secondary to severe acute pancreatitis
Authors: Aguirre-Sánchez Cambronero JA , Rodríguez Fernández S , Pérez Villafáñez A , Arias Ortega M , Legaz Huidobro M , González Carro P
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis is a common disease that is usually mild, although in some cases it may present complications, among which are vascular ones such as splenic infarction.

Clinical case: A 71 years old woman was admitted for acute pancreatitis, who presented a torpid evolution throughout the first admission with associated acute cholecystitis and an encapsulated necrotic collection that required endoscopic drainage using a luminal apposition prosthesis and endoscopic necrosectomy. A month and a half later, the patient was readmitted for abdominal pain, with abdominal CT scan showing a very thinned splenic vein and patent artery without identifying thrombosis (with 700,000 platelets/mm3), associated splenic infarction as well as worsening of the inflammation of pancreatitis. Given these findings, we were decided to start anticoagulation with enoxaparin at prophylactic doses for splenic vascular stenosis, achieving resolution of the thrombocytosis (410,000 platelets/mm3), disappearance of the splenic necrotic area and improvement of the pancreatic inflammatory component confirmed by CT scan.

Conclusion: When splenic infarction is associated with severe pancreatitis with splenic thrombosis, anticoagulation is indicated. However, when there is no splenic thrombosis and the splenic infarction occurs in the context of critical vascular stenosis with high thrombocytosis, the indication for anticoagulation is controversial, with no consensus in the literature. Furthermore, at present it is not establish the active ingredient to be used or its dose, and highlights the need to carry out clinical trials in order to establish clinical or consensus guidelines.
23.16 : Iteração da identidade através da arte e da tecnologia
Authors: Bezerra Bastos Margarida
Published: November 2024

In this paper, I will reflect on “23.16”, a research project that delves into autobiographical memory, technology, and installation art, developed during the Master’s in Fine Arts at FBAUP. This investigation intersects with the conference’s focus on the arts and memory. Anchoring my methodology in autoethnography, I manipulate personal materials—sound and memory—employing a strategy of transfer and iteration within a network of devices. This creates a mise-en-abîme that bridges various artistic languages and forms. The work embodies a living inquiry into Judith Butler’s narrative of self as articulated in “Giving an Account of Oneself,” scrutinizing the iterative process of self-narrative and the persistent metamorphosis of identity. The project is further informed by Paul B. Preciado’s reflections on the imbrication of technology and identity, alongside Gilbert Simondon’s notions of transduction and perpetual becoming. The philosophical paradox of Theseus’ ship serves as a conceptual metaphor within my work, posing inquiries about identity’s endurance and transformation. This metaphor extends to challenge the identity of the project itself, questioning whether it retains the essence of a singular work despite the continuous substitution of auditory and visual forms. The project materializes in multimedia installations that, emanating from the same auditory roots, conjure seemingly dystopian versions of reality and memory. The installations are a testament to the performative nature of memory and the cinematic transformation of sound into image, and subsequently, into moving images. In dialogue, I aim to reflect on the generative possibilities of this experimental process—how the critical discourse may contribute to the research’s evolution.
António Lopes Ribeiro e António Ferro: cumplicidades cinematográficas e os projectos de internacionalização do cinema português
Authors: Ribeiro Carla
Published: November 2024

António Lopes Ribeiro was a major figure in Portuguese cinema for over three decades. In this paper, I intend to present and analyse the projects in which he was involved with the aim to create a national cinema with international projection, during the 1940s, and in particular during the Second World War. In order to guarantee the economic sustainability of the Portuguese film industry and continuous production, Lopes Ribeiro believed that distribution needed to be expanded beyond the traditional markets, namely, the colonies and the Portuguese emigration communities in Brazil. I will demonstrate how these internationalisation plans were only able to be materialised with the direct support of political power, examining his connection to António Ferro, the director of the organisation that oversaw cinema, the National Propaganda Secretariat/ National Secretariat of Information. Finally, I will look at the reasons why his projects for Portuguese cinema failed. Methodologically, this research draws on documents from the National Secretariat of Information and the Salazar archives, as well as other primary sources, mainly newspapers and magazines specialising in cinema, as well as a set of letters written by Lopes Ribeiro to António Ferro, from the Quadros Foundation.
Emotive Narrative: Thinking and Writing Experimental Animation through Things’ Perspective
Authors: Lee Wan-Chen
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore the magical nature of things, to investigate nonhuman entities, and to study from the philosophy of Object-Oriented Ontology. Rethinking Paul Wells’ scripted artefact based on the ontography concept of Alien Phenomenology, specifically for the transition of objects from real world objects to cinematic objects, Animators go through the found or made object and object as narrative stages. To explore the potential of things, we engage creators in co-speculation through Evocative Object Cards activity that evokes experience. By thinking about the theme of the secret life of things and experimenting with writing from thing’s perspective, we can realize the emotive narrative of things. Using the concept of “human-object” experience entanglement, this study conducted an experimental animation writing workshop to stimulate the tactile memory of the creators, so that they can understand how objects reveal their unique agency in the animation, and then understand the satisfaction of the participants through semi-structured qualitative interviews. The research results show that this activity has a positive impact on the creators’ creative writing of animation scripts, which not only puts forward alternative views beyond the mainstream animation stories, but also enriches the audience’s viewing experience.

Nowadays, technology is a great ally in removing barriers and facilitating access for users with specific limitations. For example, a child with motor and communication limitations due to Cerebral Palsy (CP) can use technology to develop and reveal their potential talent for learning and performing music. We want to publish a real case of a child, currently aged 11, called Enrique, with CP, whose limitations do not allow him to play any traditional musical instrument. However, Enrique can access information and learn using Support Products, namely a computer and an interface for access through the eyes. This child wanted to learn to play piano, which was difficult for him in a traditional way. Using the Assistive Technology he already had, and an Accessible Musical Digital Instrument called NetyChord, installed on his computer, it was possible to get him to learn music and play the sounds of the piano instrument together with an orchestra in a public concert. The aim of this work, which we intend to disseminate to the general community by making a documentary, is to demonstrate how it is always possible to eliminate barriers by joining forces and combining research networks between different universities and different countries (Portugal and Italy). This objective also includes the use of technology as a means of facilitating music learning for all
Methodologies and Procedures for the Audiovisual Creation and Direction of Virtual Reality Short Films with Volumetric Capture. An Innovation Project for Higher Education
Authors: Martínez-Cano Francisco-Julián
Published: November 2024

Virtual reality (VR) has become a cutting-edge medium for interactive experiences and immersive storytelling. In this setting, virtual reality short films have become more popular. They provide audiences with the chance to fully submerge themselves in three-dimensional environments and experience the staging of fictional events firsthand. This article presents a method for producing virtual reality short films using volumetric capture, which enables the implementation of real-time acting captured in three-dimensional video in virtual space-time.The production process is explained, starting with the idea of creating hybrid virtual reality cinematic experiences that blend various methods and assets, such as volumetric capture, computer graphics, and 360-degree film. For this experience, the production of the second episode of the virtual reality series The Stigma Machine (Martínez-Cano, 2022-currently) was carried out within the framework of the educational innovation project PIEU_B/2023_69: Production of prosocial-immersive audiovisual narratives in virtual reality, which involves 20 students from Miguel Hernández University’s Degree in Audiovisual Communication and the Double Degree in Audiovisual Communication and Journalism.In order to experiment with the students on the various processes and techniques for the audiovisual creation of VR, a review of exceptional examples of VR short films with volumetric capture was conducted during the development of this project. Case studies were analyzed to illustrate the various solutions implemented to create immersive experiences from an emotional approach.The findings highlight future directions for the creation of VR short films with volumetric capture and stress the value of multidisciplinary cooperation between filmmakers, visual artists, and VR specialists in advancing the development of this type of immersive storytelling.
On Covering Properties in Intuitionistic Fuzzy Topological Spaces: A survey
Authors: Lupiáñez Francisco Gallego
Published: November 2024

We show here some results on covering properties in intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces. In 1983, K.T. Atanassov proposed a generalization of the notion of fuzzy set: the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy set. D. Çoker constructed the fundamental theory on intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces, and D. Çoker and other mathematicians studied compactness, connectedness, continuity, separation, convergence and paracompactness in intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces. Finally, G.-J Wang and Y.Y. He showed that every intuitionistic fuzzy set may be regarded as an L-fuzzy set for some appropriate lattice L. Nevertheless, the results obtained by above authors are not redundant with other for ordinary fuzzy sense.
Collatz Conjecture
Authors: A.A Durmagambetov , A.A Durmagambetova
Published: November 2024

This paper presents an analysis of the number of zeros in the binary representation of natural numbers. The primary method of analysis involves the use of the concept of the fractional part of a number, which naturally emerges in the determination of binary representation. This idea is grounded in the fundamental property of the Riemann zeta function, constructed using the fractional part of a number. Understanding that the ratio between the fractional and integer parts of a number, analogous to the Riemann zeta function, reflects the profound laws of numbers becomes the key insight of this work. The findings suggest a new perspective on the interrelation between elementary properties of numbers and more complex mathematical concepts, potentially opening new directions in number theory and analysis.This analysis has allowed to understand that the Collatz sequence initially tends towards a balanced symmetric arrangement of zeros and ones, and then it collapses, realizing the scenario of the Collatz conjecture.

The periphery phenomena and periphery definition as well as periphery theory are introduced; The basic structure of a periphery （jieke） of system is composed of both a wall, which defends system itself, and a gate ( or passage), through which the exchange between the system and its environment is carried out. In order to describe the periphery mathematically, perimeter set are presented. On the basis two indicant functions: security degree and subsist ratio are suggested. By using air pollution and meteorological data, a case of air pollution forecast is exemplified in detail.

In this paper, we extract some subordination and Superordination properties using the characteristics of the generalized byproduct operator. The article aims to demonstrate some applications of the differential subordination concept to univalent function subclasses that contain specific convolutions as operators. During this time, several highly complex mathematical detectives have emerged, including Riemann, Cauchy, Gauss, Euler, and several others. Geometric function theory combines or involves geometry and analysis. The main objectives of the paper above are to investigate the dependence principle and to introduce an extra subset over polyvalent functions through a further operator related to higher-order derivative products. The results were important when taking into account the numerous geometric characteristics, including radii over stiffness, close-to-convexity, and convexity; value estimation; deformation and expansion bounds; and so on.

Published: November 2024

During the Covid-19 pandemic, students were required to wear masks in classroom learning. However, students often do not use masks, so they are prone to transmission of Covid-19. For this reason, this study proposes the development of a real-time multi-face mask automatic detection system in classroom learning using YOLOv4 deep learning. Experimental results on 22 samples of students who collected real-time/live video data every 3 minutes for 20 scenarios proved that the proposed system was successful in detecting objects wearing masks (PM) and not wearing masks (TPM) with the average percentage of precision was 95.63% for PM and 97.33% for TPM, the average percentage of recall was 61.61% for PM and 60.23% for TPM, and the average percentage of F-measure was 74.55% for PM and 74.00% for TPM. This results indicate an effective, valid and accurate proposed system for monitoring the use of masks in classroom learning easily and automatically.

Research on automatic port inspections using robots has been carried out in the state-owned company Indonesia Port Corporation, Semarang, Indonesia. However, increasing the efficiency of robotic inspections is critical because robots need to perform these tasks at much higher speeds than humans, while maintaining a high level of accuracy. The robot is equipped with sensors and computer vision technology to detect defects or problems that humans might miss. The aim is to increase overall inspection accuracy at a lower cost. In this research, we introduce an optimized A* path planning algorithm that incorporates the flood algorithm, node reductions process, and linear path planning optimization for an autonomous navigated port inspection robot. Our primary objective is to significantly increase the efficiency of the conventional A* algorithm in guiding robotic systems through complex paths. The proposed algorithm demonstrates exceptional efficiency in generating feasible paths, with success attributed to optimization steps that specifically target reducing node processing and enhancing route finding. The experimentation phase involves a comprehensive assessment of the algorithm using six key parameters: running time, number of nodes, number of turns, maximum turning angle, expansion nodes, and the total distances output. Through rigorous testing, the algorithm's performance is evaluated and compared against seven other current algorithms, namely A*, BestFirst, Dijkstra, BFS, DFS, Bidirectional A*, and Geometric A*. Results from the experiments reveal the algorithm's outstanding running time efficiency, surpassing all other algorithms tested. Notably, it exhibits a remarkable 6.5% improvement over the widely recognized Geometric A* algorithm.
