Skaza cielesności (czytanie między wierszami)
Authors: Chołody Mariusz
Published: November 2024

As a limit experience, trauma influences an individual in a twofold manner: it affects the psyche and the somatics, leading to both psychological disorders and issues with the functioning of the (human) body. The romantic examples of literary or real experience of trauma convincingly show that trauma negatively impacts the psychosomatic condition of the subject, and confirm the link between the human soul, the psyche and corporeality. Traumatic experiences are imprinted in the memories of the individuals and expressed in their language and body – the words and the body repeat and strengthen the traumatic experiences.
Z życia romantyka. Dwa nieznane listy Władysława Wężyka: do Lucjana Siemieńskiego i do Eleonory Karwickiej
Authors: Dambek-Giallelis Zofia
Published: November 2024

The article includes the first edition of two letters written by Władysław Wężyk, a forgotten writer and activist from the 1840s. The first one, discovered in the Stefanyk National Science Library in Lviv, Ukraine, documents the young domestic writers’ interest in Towianism. In the second one, kept in the Jagiellonian Library, Wężyk expresses his intentions towards his future wife and considers his life plans, which include his participation in the awaited uprising. The newly-discovered letters document both the initial enthusiasm in the country towards Towiański’s doctrine and the author’s involvement in the conspiracy network in the 1840s.
LiBerackie doświadczenie estetyczne – na przykładzie twórczości Radosława Nowakowskiego
Authors: Błaszczak Monika
Published: November 2024

On April 4, the opening of the exhibition Always in between beyond over – Radosław Nowakowski’s books took place at the Jagiellonian Library in Krakow. It is worth, in the context of performative and sensual phrases, presenting the achievements of the author of the Cartographic treatise or Sienkiewicz Street in Kielce, especially since the author had the opportunity to participate in this exhibition and interview the creator himself. Liberature – its creation and reading – is an unusual aesthetic experience. In his text-manifesto from 2000, Nowakowski emphasizes “my books are what I want them to be (it is a completely different matter whether books are interested in what I want) – and I want the book to be an integral work, so that all its the elements fit together, had semantic value and took a greater or lesser part in telling this or that story” [source: liberatorium.com]. In his case, the term “total literaturę” takes on an additional meaning: he writes, draws and publishes his books himself. A book becomes a literary work of art – it can be read, looked at, touched, sometimes smelled, tasted or listened to at the same time. The polysensory aesthetic experience becomes both a form of creative, receptive and cognitive practice.
Temporal periodic solutions of non-isentropic compressible Euler equations with geometric effects
Authors: Fang Xixi , Ma Shuyue , Yu Huimin
Published: November 2024

In this article, we investigate the general qusi-one-dimensional nozzle flows governed by non-isentropic compressible Euler system. First, the steady states of the subsonic and supersonic flows are analyzed. Then, the existence, stability, and uniqueness of the subsonic temporal periodic solutions around the steady states are proved by constructing a new iterative format technically. Besides, further regularity and stability of the obtained temporal periodic solutions are obtained, too. The main difficulty in the proof is coming from derivative loss, which is caused by the diagonalization. Observing that the entropy is conserved along the second characteristic curve, we overcome this difficulty by transforming the derivative of entropy with respect to

x

x

into a derivative along the direction of first or third characteristic. The results demonstrate that dissipative boundary feedback control can stabilize the non-isentropic compressible Euler equations in qusi-one-dimensional nozzles.
Unpacking fluid linguistic landscape in a community coffeehouse in Hangzhou, East China: an everyday life perspective
Authors: Yu Hua , Ai Bin
Published: November 2024

This paper enquires into the emergence of linguistic landscapes as cycles from fluid to frozen and fluid again. It is based on the first author’s ethnographic narratives of the appearance and disappearance of linguistic landscapes in a community coffeehouse in Hangzhou, East China. By moment analysis of the entanglements in everyday life that owners and customers share, we find that the meanings of the coffeehouse space are dynamically shaped by the intersections of their life trajectories and constant communication with others in ongoing everyday life. It is argued that linguistic landscapes emerge as a continuous flux, with language users’ care for others, willingness to correspond, and improvisation of linguistic and semiotic practices affected by their life trajectories. This paper will contribute to current research on language use in everyday space and fluid linguistic landscapes.
Scientists and drivers in-the-loop, on-the-loop or out-of-the-loop? Holistic human systems integration of teleoperated vehicles
Authors: Flemisch Frank , Usai Marcel , Schrank Andreas , Oehl Michael , Plum Lena , Shi Elisabeth , Baumann Martin , Bengler Klaus
Published: November 2024

The article metaphorically transfers the idea of “in-the-loop”, “out-of-the-loop” and “on-the-loop” from direct control of a vehicle to the influence and control of scientists on the in- and out-of-the-loop problem, here of teleoperation of vehicles. The article is based on the findings of an interdisciplinary group of experts coordinated by the German Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) on the research needs for teleoperation of vehicles, in particular of Cluster 2 on the subject of Human Systems Integration. Based on three use cases of teleoperation, questions are discussed regarding the extent to which science should develop from “out-of-the-loop” towards “on-the-loop” or even “in-the-loop”, and what opportunities and risks could be associated.

A comparative analysis of the energy dissipation efficiency of various piano key weir types
Authors: Alghazali Najm O. S. , Musa Taghreed A.
Published: November 2024

Water levels in main or sub-channels can be controlled and regulated with the help of weirs. Piano key weirs (PKWs), a type of non-linear weir, include side crests, as well as front and back crests. Due to the fact that the PKW is a modern, newly installed infrastructure, several studies addressing the distribution of energy for each type are not yet available. This study examines the amount of energy dissipated for the four primary types, as well as the impact of altering the width ratio and the height ratio. To investigate the effects on energy dissipate, and compare the energy dissipate efficiency of the main types of PKWs, each type of PKW was created with five models using width ratios (W
i/W
o = 1.25, 1, and 0.8) and height ratios (P/L = 0.11 and 0.078). The energy dissipation depends on type of PKW and decreases as the width ratio increases by 5% and the energy dissipation increases, with the rise in the height ratio by 4%. Due to the overhang effect, type-C is the energy type that dissipates the most, making it the best example of PKW in terms of energy dissipation efficiency. Type-A follows type-C in this respect.

Authors: Jayakodi Santhoshkumar , Sriramulu Mohana , Govindasamy Mani , Pandian Elumalai , Shanmugam Rajeshkumar , Ameen Fuad
Published: November 2024

This study investigated the antibacterial and photocatalytic properties of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs), which were synthesized using Aegle marmelos extract. CeO2 NPs were characterized by different spectroscopy methods such as ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. The shape and elemental analysis of synthesized CeO2 NPs were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Further, the size and stability of the synthesized CeO2 NPs were characterized by ZETA potential and dynamic light scattering analysis. Further, the photocatalytic efficiency of synthesized NPs was verified by 98% of methylene blue dye degradation exhibited within 180 min at the visible region and the first-order kinetic value was 0.2038 min−1. The green synthesized CeO2 NPs were found to have significant antibacterial activity against bacterial organisms. The effective antibacterial activity of E. coli (30 ± 0.02), P. aeruginosa (30 ± 0.07), S. aureus (24 ± 0.04), and S. epidermis (29 ± 0.04) at 100 µg·mL−1. Therefore, Aegle marmelos CeO2 NPs were used as a photocatalytic and antimicrobial therapeutic agent. The synthesized CeO2 NPs also displayed enhanced anticancer efficacy with higher concentrations against MCF-7 cells. Thus, CeO2 NPs have antibacterial, anticancer, and photocatalytic properties, according to this study.
Surveillance schafft Evidenz für die öffentliche Gesundheit
Authors: Schumacher Jakob
Published: November 2024

Um gezielte Maßnahmen gegen ein Public-Health-Problem zu ergreifen ist es sinnvoll, Informationen durch Surveillance zu erheben. Surveillance erfasst Ereignisse, klassifiziert diese, verarbeitet Daten, bewertet diese und kommuniziert die Erkenntnisse. Sie ist fortlaufend, definiert und zielgerichtet. Dadurch kann Evidenz geschaffen werden und der Impact von Public-Health-Maßnahmen gemessen werden. Surveillance ist unverzichtbar für die öffentliche Gesundheit und liefert Daten für Taten.

Machine learning applications for thermochemical and kinetic property prediction
Authors: Tomme Lowie , Ureel Yannick , Dobbelaere Maarten R. , Lengyel István , Vermeire Florence H. , Stevens Christian V. , Van Geem Kevin M.
Published: November 2024

Detailed kinetic models play a crucial role in comprehending and enhancing chemical processes. A cornerstone of these models is accurate thermodynamic and kinetic properties, ensuring fundamental insights into the processes they describe. The prediction of these thermochemical and kinetic properties presents an opportunity for machine learning, given the challenges associated with their experimental or quantum chemical determination. This study reviews recent advancements in predicting thermochemical and kinetic properties for gas-phase, liquid-phase, and catalytic processes within kinetic modeling. We assess the state-of-the-art of machine learning in property prediction, focusing on three core aspects: data, representation, and model. Moreover, emphasis is placed on machine learning techniques to efficiently utilize available data, thereby enhancing model performance. Finally, we pinpoint the lack of high-quality data as a key obstacle in applying machine learning to detailed kinetic models. Accordingly, the generation of large new datasets and further development of data-efficient machine learning techniques are identified as pivotal steps in advancing machine learning’s role in kinetic modeling.
Chemistry module for the Earth system model

Published: November 2024

The description of the new version of the INM–RSHU chemistry–climate model, created on the basis of the climate model INMCM6.0 is presented. A special feature of the new version of the chemistry–climate model is the complete unification of the model structure with the basic core of the INMCM6.0 climate model. The transport of chemically active species in the atmosphere is performed on the same grid and by the same methods as the transport of meteorological parameters and aerosol. Chemical transformations are added as local processes at each grid point of the model, correcting the changes in tropospheric and stratospheric concentrations of chemically active species caused by dynamical processes. The model was tested using the results of calculations of changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere over the last 20 years of the 20th century, performed with a version of the model with a resolution of 4 × 5 degrees in latitude and longitude.
Philosophy as Passion for Knowledge: What Kind of History of Philosophy for the 21st Century?
Authors: Ebbersmeyer Sabrina
Published: November 2024

This article is a slighty adapted version of my inaugural lecture as Professor of Philosophy presented on 21 June 2024 at the University of Copenhagen. Given my seniority and as the first woman ever to be appointed professor of philosophy at the University of Copenhagen, I decided to take this opportunity to address a broader and more fundamental topic: namely, what is philosophy, what role does philosophy play in today’s university systems, and what kind of history of philosophy do we need for the 21st century. My lecture has three parts. First, I present and defend a specific understanding of philosophy focussing on the notion of knowledge for its own sake. Second, I outline some of the challenges for contemporary and future historiography of philosophy. Third, I conclude with some remarks on the societal relevance of feminist history of philosophy.
Quellen des Nahöstlichen Antisemitismus
Authors: Müller Herbert Landolin
Published: November 2024

Kurzfassung

Der Massenmord vom 7. Oktober 2023, die militärischen Reaktionen Israels sowie das weltweite Echo auf beide Vorgänge haben Manifestationen der Judenfeindschaft gezeitigt. Damit stellt sich zum wiederholten Mal das Problem antijüdischer und antisemitischer Tendenzen innerhalb migrantischer Gemeinschaften, die aus islamischen Ländern stammen. Die Interpretationen unterschiedlicher politischer Lager wie sich teils stark widersprechende akademische Deutungen zur Entstehung eines manifesten Antisemitismus zwischen dem Maghreb und Malaysia sind für interessierte Laien teilweise schwer nachvollziehbar. Hier soll ein Versuch unternommen werden, antijüdische Tendenzen innerhalb islamischer Machtbereiche der Vormoderne sowie deren Einbeziehung in antisemitische Narrative europäischen Ursprungs in der jüngeren Geschichte nachzuzeichnen.
O CONTENCIOSO SIMBÓLICO DA OPERAÇÃO LAVA JATO
Authors: Francelin Haron Barberio
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo analisa a tradução midiática da Operação Lava Jato no período 04/03/2016 a 07/05/2018. Tal empenho mobiliza uma sistematização das distintas noções do conceito corrupção dentro das Ciências Sociais e assume no desenvolvimento da pesquisa uma determinada premissa epistemológica, essa associada ao paradigma simbólico do fenômeno, que circunscreve múltiplos agentes no cenário denominado escândalo político, cujo resultado constitui um campo de disputa para formular a versão dominante do que é Oficial e do Universal dentro do Estado. Explora através desse preceito teórico um modelo de posicionamento relacional que expressa tanto os agentes selecionados como as estruturas correspondentes dos mesmos em um plano bidimensional cartesiano. Feito isso, explora através de uma estrutura de agentes específica, a saber, a mídia especializada, a sua tomada de posição na escolha linguística na imputação do termo corrupção, cuja investigação descreve se o mesmo é arbitrado em uma lógica de classes, isto é, em face das estruturas, ou atomista, em torno dos agentes, o que se poderia inferir, de alguma maneira, dos traços constitutivos da percepção da corrupção pelo grande público.
UMA NOVA PERSPECTIVA DA VIRILIDADE A PARTIR DO ESPORTE BRASILEIRO
Authors: Bresque Gabriel Alves
Published: November 2024

Este artigo parte da trajetória dos estudos sociológicos sobre a virilidade, em que o esporte sempre esteve atrelado ao valor dado ao masculino. Desde as sociedades antigas até os dias atuais, a ressignificação do que é viril passa pelo esporte. Este artigo busca identificar uma linha para a leitura do masculino a partir do futebol brasileiro. Leva-se em consideração o trabalho de autoras influentes, que criaram as bases das teorias de gênero moderno, e destaca-se a compreensão do gênero como uma construção social, cultural e, acima de tudo, refletida pelo contexto em que o indivíduo está inserido. Com essa leitura do passado, em busca de respostas para o presente, e para o futuro, este artigo quer encontrar caminhos para uma perspectiva do viril e do masculino brasileiro. É feita nesse processo uma articulação entre os conceitos de virilidade e futebol brasileiro, de forma a calçar um caminho para leituras futuras sobre a intersecção destes assuntos.

O presente trabalho tem como finalidade colaborar com o ensino de História, agregando às propostas da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), que firmou as competências e princípios norteadores do ensino de História, outro olhar advindo da Educomunicação para o desenvolvimento em sala de aula das competências curriculares do componente de História. Desde a apresentação de sua primeira versão, em outubro de 2015, a BNCC gerou polêmicas e debates entre os agentes educadores brasileiros. Em 2017, após consultas públicas e inúmeras contribuições de diversos setores da educação, sua terceira e última versão foi homologada, firmando um compromisso interfederativo para garantir as aprendizagens, conhecimentos e competências básicas que são direito de todos os estudantes. Apesar da construção da base ter chegado a consenso, suas formas de implementação real nas salas de aula ainda geram dúvidas. A Educomunicação, campo de intervenções interdisciplinares, traz em seus princípios reflexões e propostas de ações que podem colaborar muito com o Ensino de História nas salas de aula no processo de formação de sujeitos históricos, críticos e ativos sobre sua realidade e em contato e comunicação com o passado histórico. Partindo de uma leitura e análise crítica do documento da BNCC, leituras e fichamentos de artigos sobre Educomunicação, esperamos ao final do trabalho ter ampliado os conhecimentos acerca da Educomunicação e encontrado contribuições que auxiliem os professores de História em sua jornada de análise, prática e reflexão sobre o ensino de História.
A CONSTITUIÇÃO DAS POLÍTICAS DE SEGURANÇA PÚBLICA NOS GOVERNOS PAULISTAS
Authors: Dyna Eduardo Armando Medina
Published: November 2024

Nas últimas décadas, o Brasil foi palco de diversos problemas complexos relacionados à segurança pública, violência e criminalidade, caracterizado no aumento da taxa de homicídios, no número alarmante da população carcerária e nos abusos da violência policial. O Estado de São Paulo foi um exemplo de tensões, conflitos e insegurança generalizada, marcando as políticas de segurança pública durante os governos no regime democrático. Diante disso, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar as posições dos governos paulistas, identificando um modelo de pêndulo de políticas mais repressivas e outras mais “moderadas”, como forma de observar a ação do Estado nas rupturas e continuidades que produziram novos enfoques na realidade de São Paulo e no campo da segurança pública.

Conservadorismo, liberalismo e socialismo são temas candentes que povoam o debate político. Na ebulição dos ânimos ruidosos: liberais e socialistas acusam os conservadores de atrasados e intolerantes; socialistas e conservadores acusam os liberais de egoístas e indiferentes ao sofrimento alheio; conservadores e liberais acusam os socialistas de dogmáticos e autoritários. O objetivo deste artigo é fornecer uma exposição sumária das noções de conservadorismo, liberalismo e socialismo científico. Quanto à metodologia, recorre-se a uma revisão bibliográfica sobre as nuances presentes nos termos em voga no espectro público. Conclui-se realçando a atualidade de conceitos cada vez mais deformados, sobretudo num período em que, no Brasil e país afora, assiste-se a uma crise de perspectivas e paixões que delineiam os confrontos políticos contemporâneos.

O ABANDONO GEMELAR GUARANI SOB A PERSPECTIVA DO DIREITO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Viana Tainá
Published: November 2024

Trata-se do abandono de gemelares nas comunidades Guarani no Brasil e do enquadramento legal desse ato no Direito Penal brasileiro. Ante a proteção internacional e constitucional dos direitos humanos nativos, faz-se essencial a análise dessa prática cultural milenar nas tribos Guarani frente à compreensão interna do ilícito e do enquadramento do ato como erro de proibição ou à luz da teoria cultural defense, sob pena do Estado agir em desconformidade com as proteções e garantias constitucionais e internacionais conferidas aos povos indígenas, o que justifica a escolha do tema. A construção desse estudo se dá por meio dos métodos hipotético-dedutivo e histórico-dedutivo. Um dos objetivos alcançados nesta pesquisa foi a demonstração de que o abandono gemelar pela comunidade Guarani pode ser considerado como um crime culturalmente motivado através da aplicação de causas supralegais de exclusão da ilicitude consubstanciadas na teoria multiculturalista cultural defense. Isso porque se entendeu que o enquadramento de tal ato como erro de proibição já não mais serve ao dilema atual, tendo em vista que é uma visão segregadora e preconceituosa, ainda adepta ao modelo assimilacionista igualitário. Assim, buscar-se-á a aplicação prática de tais diretrizes teóricas na atuação do Estado diante de casos concretos.
Myocardial Ischemic Syndrome: A Necessary Nomenclature Update of Coronary Artery Disease
Authors: Rzyman Katarzyna
Published: November 2024

The switch from the name coronary artery disease (CAD) to myocardial ischemic syndrome (MIS) signifies a more thorough comprehension of the mechanism and clinical presentations of heart disease. CAD largely addresses obstructive coronary lesions, whereas MIS includes a wider range of disorders leading to insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle, including microvascular dysfunction and coronary artery spasm. The revised terminology highlights the varied causes and manifestations of ischemic heart disease beyond conventional stenotic lesions, facilitating more precise diagnosis and tailored treatment approaches based on specific patient attributes. By acknowledging the dynamic characteristics of myocardial ischemia, healthcare providers can more effectively manage the intricate interactions of risk variables and customize interventions to enhance patient outcomes.

A herbivoria provocada por insetos fitófagos é um dos principais fatores limitantes na produção agrícola. Dentre as pragas de relevância, destaca-se o bicho-mineiro Leucoptera coffeella (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae), praga-chave do cafeeiro Coffea arábica. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as respostas fisiológicas de plantas de C. arábica submetidas a inseticidas (químicos e biológicos) e indutores de resistência no controle de L. coffeella. Foram aplicados 7 tratamentos: Metarhizium anisopliae, Silicato de Potássio, M. anisopliae + Silicato de Potássio, M. anisopliae + Beauveria bassiana, Acetaprimid + fenpropatrina, Lufenuron e água (controle). A avaliação considerou a incidência de galerias formadas e as respostas fisiológicas ao ataque. Para a análise estatística, utilizou-se o modelo linear generalizado (GLM), juntamente com análise de agrupamento hierárquico e mapas de calor. O inseticida Acetaprimid + fenpropatrina foi o mais eficiente, enquanto o Silicato de Potássio ajudou a mitigar o estresse e melhorar a fisiologia das plantas, reduzindo a herbivoria.

Salinity and water deficit are among the main stress situations that affect germination and seedling development in the field. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the germination and growth of white oat seedlings subjected to water and saline stress at different temperatures. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, in a triple factorial arrangement, with two osmotic solutions (PEG 6000 and NaCl), five osmotic potentials (-0.2, -0.4, -0.6 and -0.8 MPa) and two temperatures (20 and 25 °C), with four replications of 50 seeds each. Initially, the water content of the seeds was determined. In the treatment effects, germination, first germination count, shoot length, primary root and seedling fresh mass were evaluated. Osmotic potentials lower than -0.2 MPa reduce the germination and growth of white oat seedlings, regardless of the stressor agent and temperature. The simulations of the stress conditions harmed the germination and the initial growth of the seedlings by the decrease of the observed variables. The salt and water stress induced by sodium chloride solution was more drastic than that induced by polyethylene glycol 6000.
Venerated Stones and Eagle Banners
Authors: Cecil Elizabeth A
Published: November 2024

This study contributes to the spatial and material contextualization of early Narayana religion by revisiting important archaeological sites and epigraphic sources from the first and second centuries bce. It explores some of the ways in which the literary formulations of Vaisnava divinities and theologies were materialized and venerated by those individuals who identified themselves as devotees of Bhagavat (Bhagavatas)—a title used in epigraphic sources of this period to refer to deities such as Vasudeva, Narayana and Samkarsana. While anthropomorphic icons are commonly associated with devotional practices relating to these deities, material representations of divinity could also take other forms—notably monolithic columns styled as emblematic banners (dhvaja or ketu). By analysing epigraphic and material evidence from Besnagar in Madhya Pradesh and Nagari in Rajasthan, two critical sites for the history of early Narayana religion, I hypothesize that monumental dhvajas were integral to devotional life at these temple complexes.

Financial and Legal Responsibility of Local Government Bodies in Today’s Conditions
Authors:   Postgraduate Student at Kyiv International University, Ukraine, Laba Aliona
Published: November 2024

In the financial system of the state, law-making activity is built on an extensive system of constitutional principles, a wide range of market relations, effective legal regulation, because it is the synthesis of these legal concepts that allows for the implementation of effective and socially oriented state policy, since ensuring compliance with the principle of the rule of law remains a priority and fundamental principle state formation. This allows us to once again emphasize the importance and necessity of the state’s responsibility for ensuring compliance by officials and those authorized to perform the functions of the state before citizens, but this does not exclude the mutual responsibility of a person before the state and every citizen. Determining the definition of financial and legal responsibility is considered the most difficult and one of the most controversial in the modern legal system. The definition of the type of financial and legal responsibility as an independent element of financial and legal science is rather vague and controversial, which is associated with the impossibility of establishing a cause-and-effect relationship and establishing a financial and legal sanction. The primary task is the tort demarcation and legal definition of the delimitation of financial and legal responsibility separately from the general definition of legal responsibility, in particular administrative, because the system of current legislation contains conflicting and duplicating norms that create difficulties in law enforcement practice. The analysis of recent scientific works allows us to identify some problematic aspects of financial and legal responsibility that have not been sufficiently characterized and studied. Acquaintance with scientific publications from this direction allowed us to conclude that they relate to certain theoretical and practical aspects of financial and legal responsibility. The general theory of legal responsibility remains controversial and requires detailed research with the categorical legal apparatus, because at the moment there is no single principle of interpretation of such concepts as «legal responsibility», «offence», «sanction», only a partial correlation of legal sanctions and legal responsibility has been carried out.

In the face of a technological revolution driven by advances in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the following work aims to explore the expected implications and consequences based on the Regulation of the European Parliamen and Councilt: Artificial Intelligence Act, with a particular focus on the medical sector. The above mentioned act, which is a response to the dynamic social and technological changes, is a groundbreaking initiative of the European Union aimed at ensuring the safe, ethical and responsible use of AI. In the healthcare sector, where AI has the potential to fundamentally transform diagnosis, therapy and healthcare management, this regulation plays a key role in defining the future of data-driven medicine. Our work examines the impact of this legal act regarding safety, transparency and the protection of civil rights in the medical sector. We draw attention to the fundamental challenges and threats related to the integration of AI in medicine, including issues of ethics, security and data protection. Our work highlights that the future of AI in the healthcare sector should be shaped not only by technological progress, but also by a strong commitment to ethics, responsibility and respect for human rights.
European Commonality through Language. A history of phonemic sound change
Authors:   University of Warmia and Mazury, Gears Jake
Published: November 2024

The aim of this investigation was to establish whether a relationship between respective phonemic elements in early Germanic and Slavic verb roots exists and could expose deeper cross language commonality. Verbs chosen for the study relate to eating or food preparation. Analysis was carried out using a comparative method that examined Germanic and Slavic words in terms of their phonological progression from Proto Indo-European to present day English and Polish. Widespread distribution of verb roots established through diachronic histories together with evidence of phonological operation and development of consonants and vowels, provided the framework within which similarities, differences and changes could be assessed. Research focused on the phonotactic structure and phonetic properties found in Proto-Germanic and Proto-Slavic verb roots and separated their elements into discreet component parts using skeletal and melody analysis. Further examination of phonotactic sequences in proto forms, derived from the same Proto Indo-European verb root, provided evidence of a strong language specific bias towards the preservation of consonantal or vocalic properties either overtly in the skeletal sequence or covertly in the melody. A quantitative qualitative difference creating discreet blocks in a syllable. This study suggests that commonality, evident through a shared level of complexity, expressed in Germanic as a consonant cluster and in Slavic as complex melodic units present phoneme groupings responsible for early divergent tendencies in the respective languages.

In order to determine the trend of breeding progress and the genetic gain in the Iran's Golestan province, twenty registered spring wheat cultivars, which had been widely cultivated from 1968 to 2018, were investigated. A randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted to study these cultivars in the research stations of Gorgan and Gonbad during three consecutive years (2015-2018). Different morphological characteristics, grain yield and yield components, and some important traits related to remobilization and photosynthesis were measured. Morphological traits including plant height, peduncle length, and spike length did not show any significant trend during the 50-year of breeding improvement in these regions; whereas significant increases were observed for grain yield, biological yield, harvest index, thousand kernel weight, and grain filling rate in the both areas. During the period of breading investigated, the total contribution of remobilization has decreased, in particular that from stem’s, showed a significant decrease. In contrast, the amount, efficiency, and contribution of photosynthesis revealed to play a significant role in genetic improvement obtained for the cultivars’ successful performances in the regions. Based on the results obtained from the study of different parts of the plants, in addition to being an important photosynthetic source for wheat, over the time, as compared to the other wheat organs, spike showed an increasing potential for the amount of remobilization. It is expected that genotypes selected for higher levels of remobilization abilities with increased photosynthesis, could result in breeding superior high-yielding cultivars in future of the national wheat programs.

Shirlaw et al (2023) assessed the compressive strength of weathered Kowloon granite using the data from twin running tunnels constructed by slurry TBM in weathered Kowloon granite and identified a sawtooth strength profile in the rock. Further analysis of the data shows just how variable the strength of the rock was, up to 50m below rockhead. The TBM data showed that the force applied to the cutting tools was passively following the variation in the strength of the rock. The TBM operators were not maintaining sufficient force on the cutting tools to optimize the penetration rate, particularly in the relatively weaker and more weathered rock. This was due to various factors, including: the small proportion of the total thrust applied to a slurry TBM that reaches the cutting tools, the high degree of variation in the strength of the weathered rock, and the number of tasks required from the TBM operator. The TBM operator was unable to focus exclusively on optimizing the penetration rate. Based on information from TBM tunnelling in Kuala Lumpur, an automated system would provide superior performance to a human operator in weathered rock.

Bengkulu Province, Indonesia, is one of regions prone to earthquake hazards. Daily seismic activity, albeitminor, and imperceptible to humans is common place. Data from the Meteorology, Climatology, and GeophysicsAgency reveals an average of eight earthquakes per week. Earthquakes often trigger subsequent disasters such astsunamis, landslides, and liquefaction. However, liquefaction-related phenomena are often overlooked in researchs,particularly concerning subsurface layers. A notable event occurred on September 12th, 2007, when a powerful 8.6magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia, causing significant damage, particularly in Bengkulu City. This was followedby a liquefaction disaster in Tanah Patah Village, Bengkulu City. Consequently, the aim of this study is to assess thesubsurface conditions in the liquefaction-affected area using geophysical techniques, including microtremor and geoelectric surveys. The data was analyzed to evaluate soil conditions in the affected zone. The resistivity values indicate a predominance of water and sand mixtures at depths of 0 - 20 m (ranging from 1.46 to 15.5 Ω·m in Geo_TP-1 and from 4.64 to 15.1 Ω·m in Geo_TP-2). These conditions can facilitate processes like condensation and water flow, leading to sand compaction and increase susceptibility to liquefaction. The findings reveal that loose sand dominates the subsurface layers, rendering them highly vulnerable to liquefaction during intense seismic events. Furthermore, the environmental characteristics of the studied area exacerbate its susceptibility to liquefaction. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of soil conditions in the liquefied zone of Bengkulu City.

Yeni Kurumsal İktisadın en önemli isimlerinden biri Douglass C. North”tur. North’un “Bir toplumda oynanan oyunun kuralları” olarak belirlediği kurum tanımı günümüzdeki birçok kurumsal iktisatçı tarafından benimsenmiş durumdadır. Bunun yanında North, kariyerinin son dönemlerinde kurumların sadece toplumsal rollerini vurgulamakla kalmamış, bireysel etkilerini de ele alacak şekilde daha geniş bir kurumsal perspektif ortaya koymuştur. Bunu yaparken de Neoklasik İktisadın bireyini eleştirel bir biçimde ele alarak çeşitli bireysel analizler için farklı bir yol sunmuştur. Bunun sonucunda Neoklasik İktisattan bir hayli uzaklaşmış, hatta zaman zaman heterodoks bir yaklaşım olan eski kurumsalcılıkla ortak bazı temalara da değinmiştir. Zihinsel modellerin ve kültürün önemini vurgulayan North, bu alanda yaptığı çalışmalarla iktisatçılara yeni bir ufuk açmıştır. Vardığı noktada ise iktisatçıların bireyi daha doğru bir şekilde analiz etmeleri gerektiğini ve bunu bilişsel bilimler ile iktisat arasında ortak temalar belirleyerek yapabileceklerini ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı North’un eleştirileri bağlamında iktisat biliminin bireyci yaklaşımını ele alarak, bu yaklaşımın nasıl daha sağlıklı hale getirilebileceğinin tartışılmasıdır.

Physics of optimal regimes of gravitational separation
Authors: Barsky E.
Published: November 2024

Physics of the gravitational separation process determines hydrodynamic interaction of solid particles and moving medium. The existing theories of this process are mainly based on velocity-related hypothesis. However, it is rather sketchy and does not explain many experimentally revealed phenomena and regularities. A structural model of the process, which takes into account the character of changes in two-phase flow velocity over the apparatus cross-section, expands the scope of the velocity-based hypothesis. It provides a complete description of all experimentally found phenomena and regularities from the standpoint of a unified approach. Ill. 9. Ref. 5.

Local exhaust ventilation is used to capture pollutants and maintain a comfortable indoor climate. The main element of exhaust ventilation is local suction. A mathematical model of the separation flow at the entrance to the circular suction socket above the heat source located on an impermeable plane has been developed. The dependence of the maximum distance to the heat source, at which the convective flow is captured, on the length and angle of inclination of the bell is determined. The results obtained are useful for designing local exhaust ventilation systems. Ill. 4. Ref. 15.

Background: Failed back surgery syndrome is a common problem faced by chronic pain management specialists. Steroid-only epidural injections have modest efficacy because of excessive scarring. Epidural hyaluronidase (HA), functions as a depolymerizing agent, successfully breaking down adhesions and collagen bundles, whereas dexmedetomidine (DEX) helps to reduce inflammation.Methods: The current study is a randomized, double blind, clinical trial. The study cohort included population with persistent (> 6 months) back and/or radicular lower limb pain after laminectomy. Group I (HA group) received bupivacaine 0.5% (5 mg), triamcinolone 40 mg, sterile saline (2 ml), and HA (1500 IU) instilled in 1 mL of distilled water. Group II (DEX group) received bupivacaine 0.5% (5 mg), triamcinolone 40 mg (1 ml), DEX (0.5 mcg/kg), and sterile saline (2 ml).Results: Both groups showed significant reductions in VAS scores at all follow-ups compared to the pre-injection values. At 6 months, the DEX group experienced a significantly greater reduction in pain scores than the HA group (P = 0.003). In terms of the MODI, both groups showed significant reductions in disability scores at all follow-ups relative to the pre-injection values. The DEX group showed greater improvement in MODI values than the HA group. No significant complications were reported.Conclusions: Both DEX and HA yielded significant improvements in pain and disability scores compared with pre-injection levels. The DEX group showed a more substantial and long-term reduction in both pain scores and disability index than the HA group.
