Reconstrucción teórica-metodológica de las violencias escolares simbólicas desde la salud colectiva
Authors: Niño Hernández César Augusto , Rosales Flores Roselia Arminda
Published: October 2024

El presente ensayo nace de la idea de exponer una propuesta teórico-metodológica para el análisis de las violencias escolares invisibles desde la mirada de la salud colectiva. Desde esta perspectiva, el análisis de estas violencias encarnadas en la vida de los niños y las niñas permite conocer cómo se han incorporado en las sociedades como formas de educar. La determinación sociohistórica de las violencias escolares invisibles permite desentrañar en las dimensiones general, particular y singular el proceso social que lo implica. Se exploran las categorías de reproducción social, proceso salud-enfermedad, modos de andar por la vida y las dimensiones subjetivas y sociales de dicho proceso. Esto con la finalidad de ampliar la mirada y alejarse de la perspectiva biomédica que encuentra acciones para solucionar los problemas de enfermedad en el cuerpo físico, pero no para aquellos procesos que provocan sufrimiento, restringen la autonomía y perpetúan la dominación, las desigualdades y las violencias.
Distinción y exclusión en la educación pública. Atención a la población jornalera agrícola migrante en México
Authors: Ávila Sánchez Rocío Jazmín , González Galindo Karina
Published: October 2024

A través del sistema escolar se reproduce la desigualdad social, las violencias capitalistas, patriarcales y colonialistas cuando se invisibilizando las causas de la precariedad y se refuerza el mito de la meritocracia. Estas desigualdades se acentúan a lo largo del trayecto educativo, generando un “efecto Mateo”. Es decir, mientras que las clases sociales altas poseen una ventaja inicial, y tienden a beneficiarse cada vez más a medida que pasa el tiempo, aquellos que desde el principio están en desventaja experimentan una mayor acumulación de inconvenientes.A través del caso específico de la atención educativa deficitaria que reciben los Jornaleros Agrícolas Migrantes (JAM) en México, el presente artículo analiza cómo las instituciones escolares se han entramado con estos contextos de violencias. Además, examina cómo a partir de la implementación de políticas neoliberales se ha incrementado la exclusión de la población más vulnerable, a la que se considera mano de obra barata y fácilmente remplazable.Asimismo, se retoma la propuesta de la interseccionalidad para reconstruir los distintos aspectos que generan la discriminación de niñas, niños y adolescentes JAM que, si bien comparten una misma raíz y se sustentan en la estructura del poder dominante, tienen diversas aristas que convierten a estos menores en un segmento de la población particularmente vulnerable.La evidencia muestra que la capacidad del gobierno para atender a la población en situación de vulnerabilidad se ha sobrepasado y se cuestiona si los programas actuales pueden satisfacer las necesidades específicas o si se requieren nuevas políticas públicas acordes a la realidad.
Propuesta pluridisciplinar para el estudio de ‘movimientos sociales transnacionales de migrantes’: hacia el análisis y acompañamiento de colectivos que se manifiestan ante las consecuencias de la migración
Authors: Astorga Morales Abel
Published: October 2024

El artículo esboza una propuesta teórica-conceptual y metodológica pluridisciplinaria para el estudio y acompañamiento de lo que hemos nombrado como movimientos sociales transnacionales de migrantes, los cuales están integrados por personas en las que recaen las consecuencias de la migración: migrantes, ex migrantes, inmigrantes, migrantes en tránsito y/o sus familiares. Estos colectivos se manifiestan ante los efectos de los programas de trabajadores temporales, sustentan sus luchas en injusticias como despojos, abusos, discriminación, arbitrariedad laboral, explotación y desapariciones de migrantes. Conforman sus discursos desde emociones como la aflicción, molestia, indignación y el duelo por sus familiares desaparecidos. Todo ello sumado a la lucha por el reconocimiento y respeto a los derechos sociales, económicos, políticos y culturales para los migrantes y sus familiares.La propuesta pluridisciplinaria parte de la línea historiográfica Historia del Tiempo Presente; desde los estudios de la memoria se retoma la propuesta de la ‘restauración de la memoria histórica’; y para analizar el devenir de las luchas se plantea al estudio de los movimientos sociales desde un pluralismo teórico. En el plano metodológico se propone la historia oral para la recolección y tratamiento de testimonios y, mediante la Investigación Acción Participativa (IAP), se plantea buscar mayor acercamiento y eventual acompañamiento de estos colectivos.

Students have the opportunity to work in real life or internship activities to channel the theory that has been obtainedin lectures. The purpose of internship activities is to provide students with a real picture of the world of work, so thatstudents can get used to it and have a high level of work readiness after graduation. Lecture activities and workschedules result in dual roles resulting in difficulty achieving work-life balance. Work-life balance is a balance of theuse of time, energy, goal achievement, and tension in work and personal life. The purpose of this study was to see apicture of work-life balance in MSIB Batch 6 internship students in Jakarta. This study used a quantitative methodwith 107 participants. This study uses the Work/Nonwork Interference and Enhancement Scale measuring instrumentprepared by Fisher and has been adapted into Indonesian. Reliability in this study α = 0.847 Meanwhile, validitytesting shows 0.302 - 0.753 > 0.188, P = 0.00 < 0.05 and Pearson Correlation is positive, so this study is valid. Theresults of this study indicate that the normality test was carried out using the one sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov testmethod (P = 0.000 <0.05) so that the data in the study were said to be not normally distributed. This study shows thatthere is no difference in work-life balance between women and men (P = 0.174 > 0.05), there is no difference basedon the age of the participants (P = 0.335 > 0.05), there is no difference based on the semester of the internship (P =0.348 > 0.05). The results of this research show that the average work-life balance score for MSIB Batch 6 internstudents is 2,664, this score is considered low using the Likert scale calculation.

Authors: Sania Sania , P. Tommy Y. S. Suyasa
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this research is to understand the effectiveness of personal branding based on the concept of the bigfive personality traits, which act as predictors of self-image among vocational high school students. Personalbranding is the process of creating, positioning, and maintaining a positive self-image, which is increasingly relevantin today’s educational and professional environments, especially for vocational high school students. Personalitytraits which reflect individual’s beliefs and tendencies in behavior, are crucial in shaping personal branding. In thisstudy, the subjects consist of 100 students from SMK X in Tangerang City. Data were collected through an e-surveyusing two main instruments: Personal Brand Equity (PBE; Gorbatov et al., 2020), which measures three dimensionsof personal branding—brand appeal, brand differentiation, and brand recognition —and an adaptation of the NEOPersonality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1992), which measures five dimensions of personality traits—neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Based on the analysis usingSpearman’s Correlation Test, the results are as follows: (a) personal branding cannot be predicted by the neuroticismdimension of the personality traits; (b) personal branding can be partially predicted (brand appeal and branddifferentiation dimensions) by the openness to experience dimension of the personality traits; and (c) personalbranding can be predicted as a whole (brand appeal, brand differentiation, and brand recognition dimensions) by theextraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness dimensions of the personality traits. The results of this study havesignificant implications for educational institutions and companies in assisting vocational high school students indeveloping their personal branding.

Breast Conservative Surgery vs. Modified Radical Mastectomy in Early Breast Cancer: A Comparative Analysis of 126 Cases from 2022 to 2023
Authors: Sringeri Raxith , M Vijay Kumar , Hebsur Narayanchandra I , N Gargi
Published: October 2024

Objectives

To compare the oncological outcomes, surgical complications, patient satisfaction, and quality of life (QoL) between Breast-Conserving Surgery (BCS) and Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM) in the management of early-stage breast cancer.

Material and Methods:

This retrospective study, conducted at Bharath Cancer Hospital, Mysore, included 126 patients diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer from 2022 to 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: 68 underwent BCS and 58 underwent MRM. Data on patient demographics, tumor characteristics, surgical outcomes, adjuvant therapies, and patient satisfaction were collected. Statistical analysis was performed to compare local recurrence rates, disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), postoperative complications, and QoL between the two groups.

Results:

There was no significant difference in local recurrence rates, DFS, or OS between the BCS and MRM groups. However, BCS patients reported significantly higher cosmetic satisfaction and QoL scores (p < 0.001). The BCS group had fewer postoperative complications (7.4% vs. 24.1%, p = 0.008) but exhibited a higher reoperation rate (11.8% vs. 3.4%, p = 0.045).

Conclusion:

The findings suggest that BCS is a safe and effective alternative to MRM in early-stage breast cancer, offering comparable oncological outcomes with the added benefits of higher patient satisfaction and fewer complications. These results highlight the importance of individualized treatment planning, with a focus on patient preferences and QoL.
Chronic Gastric Volvulus Secondary to Adhesive Band with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Authors: B P Suresh , R V Arunkumar , Lahoti Nandkishore , S Chandrakant
Published: October 2024

Gastric volvulus (GV) is an uncommon condition. Borchardt’s triad of vomiting, epigastric pain and an inability to pass a nasogastric tube should warn clinicians to think of GV as the primary diagnosis. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia, the hiatus hernia, diaphragmatic eventration, abdominal bands or adhesions and laxity of ligaments can cause GV. GV is either an organoaxial or mesenteroaxial type of volvulus. The volvulus can present with acute onset or may present with chronic symptoms. In our case, the patient had chronic symptoms later diagnosed as GV due to a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Here old patient came with a history of vomiting for nearly two years with gross weight loss. The patient had severe electrolyte imbalance, which was corrected before surgery. Finally diagnosed as GV by doing certain investigation. During surgery, we found GV due to an adhesive band and with morgagni diaphragmatic hernia.
Autologous stem cell transplantation can potentially reverse dialysis dependence in patients with myeloma: Report of two cases and practical considerations
Authors: SINGH SUVIR , SHARMA RINTU , SINGH JAGDEEP , JAIN KUNAL , KUMAR RAJESH , NARANG VIKRAM
Published: October 2024

Background

Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is potentially beneficial for patients with myeloma-related renal impairment but is associated with high rates of complications in dialysis-dependent patients and requires specific precautions.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with myeloma and concomitant dialysis-dependent renal dysfunction were admitted for ASCT after achieving at least partial response with bortezomib-based induction therapy. For both patients, mobilization consisted of granulocyte colony stimulating factor for 5 days and CD34 directed Plerixafor on Day 1. Melphalan was administered at a dose of 140 mg/m2 and a pre-emptive session of haemodialysis was planned 24 hours after melphalan. Peripheral blood stem cell infusion was done after 24 hours. A central venous sample for blood gas analysis was obtained daily and ad hoc dialysis was planned at the earliest sign of metabolic acidosis (pH <7.35, HCO3 <15 or K >6 mEq/L).

Results

Two patients with biopsy proven cast nephropathy and dialysis dependence (twice a week) were taken for ASCT with the above protocol. No variation from usual stem cell yield or engraftment kinetics was noted. Patient 1 (M, 49 years) achieved very good partial response post-transplant and has been dialysis free for 18 months post-ASCT. Patient 2 (M, 48 years) achieved negative immunofixation post-ASCT and was dialysis free for 9 months post-transplant, following which he requires one session of dialysis every 3–4 weeks for onset of uraemic symptoms.

Conclusions

ASCT in dialysis-dependent patients is associated with a higher risk of drug toxicity, infections and transplant-related mortality. Use of reduced dose melphalan, pre-emptive dialysis after 24 hours and monitoring for acidosis and symptoms of uraemia to identify acidosis at an early stage allows safe administration of high dose chemotherapy. A major proportion of patients can potentially achieve reduction or freedom from dialysis support post-transplant.
Amantadine-induced psychosis in Wilson disease

Published: October 2024

Wilson disease is a rare genetic disorder of copper metabolism causing hepatic dysfunction and neuro-psychiatric manifestations. While psychosis in Wilson disease is uncommon, it can occur, especially with certain medications. We describe a 40-year-old woman diagnosed with Wilson disease who developed psychotic symptoms following the initiation and dose escalation of amantadine, a drug commonly used to treat parkinsonism associated with the disorder. Her symptoms included delusions of persecution, irritability and anomalous self-experiences such as ‘made’ phenomena, which are typically seen in schizophrenia. The psychosis resolved after discontinuing amantadine, without worsening her neurological symptoms. This underscores the importance of monitoring for psychiatric side-effects, particularly Schneiderian first-rank symptoms, in patients with Wilson disease being treated with amantadine. The findings suggest a probable adverse drug reaction, highlighting the need for careful evaluation and dose adjustments in such complex clinical cases.
Electrostatic aspect of the proton reactivity in concentrated electrolyte solutions
Authors: van Hees Alicia , Zhang Chao
Published: October 2024

Water-in-salt electrolytes with a surprisingly large electrochemical stability window up to 3V revive the interest in aqueous electrolytes for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. However, recent reports of acidic pH measured in concentrated electrolyte solutions appear to be in contradiction with the suppressed activity of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Therefore, the fundamental thermodynamics of proton reactivity in concentrated electrolyte solutions remain elusive. In this work, we have used density functional theory-based molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and the proton insertion method to investigate how the HER potential shifts in concentrated LiCl solutions under both acidic and alkaline conditions. Our results show that the intrinsic HER activity goes up significantly with the salt concentration under acidic conditions but keeps relatively constant under alkaline conditions. Moreover, by leveraging over finite- field MD simulations, it is found that a determining factor for the HER activity is the Poisson potential of liquid phase, which shifts positively in concentrated electrolyte solutions with comparable values from both DFT and point-charge models.

Published: October 2024

Chemotherapy plays a crucial role in clinical cancer treatment. However, it is confronted with dire challenges in achieving high specificity due to their indiscriminate interaction with both tumor cells and normal cells. Herein, we develop a photodynamic therapy (PDT)-accelerated supramolecular nanomaterials based on α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), red-emitting AIEgens (namely TPE-Py) and hypoxia-activated paclitaxel-based prodrug (namely PTX-NB), which surpasses hypoxia limitations and enhances the efficiency of chemotherapeutic prodrug release in melanoma. The cationic AIEgen functions as a guest molecule, capable of forming a supramolecular complex with α-CD in a 1:1 binding ratio. Notably, the as-prepared TPE-Py⊂α–CD complex shows an increased fluorescence intensity thanks to restriction of free motion of AIEgens. Interestingly, such complex accelerates type II ROS generation through consumption of intracellular oxygen to result in a severe hypoxic microenvironment to facilitate hypoxia-responsive prodrug release. Then, TPE-Py⊂α–CD and PTX-NB are co-assembled into nanoparticles with the aid of DSPE-PEG2000 for anticancer investigation. Benefitting from the excellent PDT property and self-accelerated hypoxia-activated prodrug, this supramolecular nanomaterial is successfully used for bioimaging and antitumor treatment in vitro and in vivo with good biosafety. This supramolecular synergistic strategy based on PDT and hypoxia-responsive prodrug help to enhance the precision of tumor treatment.

Published: October 2024

Using compost from big dumpsites as a soil supplement has become common practice in agricultural settings because to the high expense of artificial fertilizers. In certain situations, farmers even level smaller dumpsites and use the area for crop growth. The present investigation examined the levels of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Fe, Pb, Zn) present in compost from waste sites, cultivation soil, maize plants, and spinach crops. The study's findings showed that the quantities of heavy metals in the various samples examined varied significantly. The compost from dumps showed higher above EU standards for Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn. The compost sample had higher amounts of Cd (6.00 mg/kg), Cr (89.00 mg/kg), Cu (21.00 mg/kg), Mn (101.00 mg/kg), Ni (17.12 mg/kg), Fe (1570.02 mg/kg), Pb (29.31 mg/kg), and Zn (315.18 mg/kg). On the other hand, modest amounts of heavy metals were found in the soil used for agriculture; these concentrations were nonetheless higher than EU standards for Cd, Cr, Mn, Ni, and Zn, and for Mn (12.98 mg/kg), Cu (1.72 mg/kg), Mn (12.98 mg/kg), Ni (2.43 mg/kg), Fe (520.11 mg/kg), Pb (0.98 mg/kg), and Zn (67.31 mg/kg). While the quantities of heavy metals in maize plants and spinach crops were typically lower than those in compost from waste sites, they were nevertheless higher than the limits set by the European Union for several metals. Cd > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cr > Zn > Fe > Mn was the sequence in which plants absorbed metals. As a result, this study emphasizes the possible health concerns connected to eating crops produced in compost or soil that has been contaminated with heavy metals, as well as the significance of ongoing monitoring and remediation activities to guarantee food safety and environmental health.
Modular Access to Functionalized Azetidines via Electrophilic Azetidinylation

Published: October 2024

General methods for the rapid and direct incorporation of unconventional ring motifs into core scaffolds are highly sought-after in medicinal chemistry. However, approaches enabling the direct attachment of privileged azetidine rings to the oft-encountered biorelevent nucleophiles remain elusive. Here, we report an electrophilic azetinylation protocol based on the underexplored reagents azetidinyl trichloroacetimidates, allowing for the “any-stage” installation of azetidine rings. More than 20 classes of nucleophiles can be readily azetidinylated, providing a diverse library of functionalized azetidines. The power of this method is further demonstrated by the simplified synthesis of multiple medicinally relevant structures and the facile access to azetidine analogues for bioactive compounds.
Alarming structural error rates in MOF databases used in data driven workflows identified via a novel metal oxidation state-based method
Authors: White Andrew , Gibaldi Marco , Burner Jake , Mayo R. Alex , Woo Tom
Published: October 2024

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a diverse class of porous materials composed of inorganic nodes joined by organic linkers, currently under investigation for a wide range of applications including gas storage and separation where they have been commercialized. Given the labor-intensive nature of synthesizing and testing individual MOFs, high-throughput computational screening and machine learning (ML) methods are increasingly viewed as essential for facilitating MOF development. However, the structural fidelity of the “computation-ready” MOF databases used in such studies remains largely unquantified. We introduce MOSAEC, an algorithm that detects chemically invalid structures on the basis of metal oxidation states. MOSAEC was manually validated against ~16k MOF structures from the popular CoRE database, and was found to flag erroneous structures with 95% accuracy. Systematic examination of 14 leading experimental and hypothetical MOF databases containing >1.9 million MOFs reveals concerning structural error rates, exceeding 40% in most cases.
Launching Graphene into 3D-Space: Symmetry, Topology, and Strategies for Bottom-Up Synthesis of Schwarzites
Authors: Ignatchenko Alexey
Published: October 2024

Schwarzites are hypothetical carbon allotropes in the form of a continuous negatively curved surface with a three-dimensional periodicity. These materials of the future attract interest because of the expectation for their large surface area per volume, high porosity, tunable electric conductivity, and excellent mechanical strength combined with light weight. Three-decades long history attempting synthesize Schwarzites from the gas phase carbon atoms went without success. Design of Schwarzites is both digital art and science of placing tiles of sp2-carbon polygons on mathematically defined triply periodic minimal surfaces. The knowledge of how to connect polygons in sequence using the rules of symmetry unlocks paths for the bottom-up synthesis of Schwarzites by organic chemistry methods. Schwarzite tiling by heptagons is systematically analyzed and classified by symmetry and topology. For the first time, complete plans for a bottom-up synthesis of many Schwarzites are demonstrated. A trimer of heptagons is suggested as the key building block for most synthetic schemes.

Particulate matter (PM) air pollution presents a major environmental and public health challenge because of its non-uniform size distribution and chemical composition. Air quality regulations generally categorize particulate matter (PM) size into PM10, PM2.5, and ultrafine particles (UFPs) with aerodynamic diameters < 10, 2.5, and 0.1 µm, respectively. We examined the differential impact of particle size per se on selected organ systems using a custom whole-body mouse exposure system using synthetic PM (SPM). The micrometer-sized SPM accumulated in the lungs as the primary entry organ, while ultrafine SPM showed less accumulation, implying a transition into circulation. Micro SPM-exposed mice exhibited inflammation and NADPH oxidase-derived oxidative stress in the lungs. Ultrafine SPM-exposed mice did not show oxidative stress in the lungs but rather at the brain, heart, and vasculature levels. Endothelial dysfunction and blood pressure increase were more pronounced in ultrafine SPM exposed mice, supported by increased endothelin-1 and decreased endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression, enhancing constriction and reducing vasodilation. To derive a preliminary estimate of the cardiovascular disease burden of UFPs in humans, we used new high-resolution exposure data at a global scale, and applied hazard ratios from an epidemiological cohort study. We derived a UFP-associated incidence of 419 (95% CI 78–712) thousand cardiovascular disease cases per year in the European Union and 5.6 (95% CI 1.1–9.3) million globally. This work provides novel insights into the different toxicological profiles of inhaled ultrafine particles and public health consequences of exposure, guiding future studies.
TADF-GEN: An Iterative and Self-improving Method with Long-term Memory and Dynamic Similarity Weight for Generating Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) Molecules

Published: October 2024

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) molecules are expected to be used in emitting layer materials for the next generation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) in various display applications, but their high-throughput discovery/generation are still challenging due to their vast chemical space, high cost of quantum chemical calculations and the tricky exploration-exploitation trade-off. Besides, TADF populations are far away from existing open-source database, which hinders the use of these database and makes the direct use of deep generative models a challenge. To address these issues, in this work we present an iterative and self-improving workflow, TADF-GEN. We combine atom-wise and fragment-based morphing operations designed with domain knowledge, machine learning based property prediction methods, multiscale quantum chemical calculations, TADF-specific metrics, with our special implementation of long-term memory (LTM) and dynamic similarity weight (DSW). With TADF-GEN, we explored the chemical space including various types and sizes of TADF molecules for the first time and established a new dataset of over 1.3 M molecules among which over 39 K molecules with TD-DFT labelled data. Combined LTM with DSM, we find the improvement of molecular diversity inherently help generate molecules with better performance. Besides, our model can effectively navigate the chemical space across different TADF domains (from multiple resonance type to donor-acceptor type). With accurate double hybrid TD-DFT excited state calculations, our generated molecules are proved excellent in both TADF properties and diversity compared with their seed molecules. Our TADF-GEN model and generated database can be directly used for future TADF works. Our proposed workflow is expected to be also useful for molecular discovery/generation in other data-shortage domains such as batteries and semiconductor materials.

A GEOGRAPHICAL EVALUATION OF THE AKTOBE OBLAST’S TOPONYM CHANGING AND ELIMINATION DYNAMICS FROM SOVIET NAMES
Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, David Lorant , Abdullina Akzhunus , Sergeyeva Aigul
Published: October 2024

One significant component of cultural heritage is represented by regional toponymy. In post-Soviet nations like Kazakhstan, the decommunization – the process of dropping Soviet names – is a dynamic process now underway. Old names for geographical features and settlements are accepted and then given new ones as part of this process. The nation's historical and cultural legacy must be preserved, and this procedure is crucial to that goal. An examination of oikonyms in the Aktobe oblast demonstrates that decommunization brought about modifications linked to historical events in addition to affecting names connected to revolutionary and Soviet personalities. This is a continuous process that is built upon the creation of geographic databases. It is essential to remember that place name modifications are taken into account in relation to their frequency and sociolinguistic characteristics. A semantic categorization of place names in the Aktobe oblast was done using data analysis, and the changes in these names throughout the time under consideration were examined. The structure of renaming types in the post-Soviet era is analysed, and two major phases of transition are recognised. A considerable portion of toponyms were discovered to have had their names changed, which suggests that the cultural landscape of the area has changed. First and foremost, changes in the republic's geopolitical and socioeconomic landscape are to blame for the renaming. The post-Soviet era saw particularly notable developments, mostly related to the de-Sovietization process. Previous cultural strata underwent changes, which were reflected in the compression of old toponyms. The research examines the factors leading to recent alterations in the names of rural villages in the Aktobe oblast, as well as matters like the frequency of name recurrence. The research looks closely at how the Soviet names of the city of Aktobe were cleared of oikonyms and urbanonyms. Undertaken with student engagement, this field of study offers a comprehensive grasp of the dynamics and importance of the decommunization-desovetization process. The survey was completed by 76 students in the geography educational programme. A sociolinguistic study involving pupils was carried out to discern the current onomastic condition in the region.
THE IMPACT OF METEOROLOGICAL AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS ON THE POTENTIAL FOR SELF-PURIFICATION OF ATMOSPHERE ON THE INDUSTRIAL REGION

Published: October 2024

The article discusses spatiotemporal changes in the main climatic indicators in the period 1941-2020, their impact on the possibilities of the atmospheric self-purification of a lead-zinc mine. The study of changes in air temperature showed the presence of long-term trends, and the climatic potential parameters of the dissipative capacity of the mine atmosphere were calculated. It was found that the average monthly air temperature increases with the rate of warming of 0.19 to 0.34 °C every 10 years. Moreover, a relatively greater increase in temperature occurs in winter, and a smaller increase in summer. Determined that the anomalous air temperature field is large in the study area both in winter and summer months. Based on the calculations, data on the spatiotemporal variability of the climatic potential of the dissipation capacity and the coefficient of atmospheric self-purification were obtained. This made it possible to establish that throughout the entire annual cycle, unfavorable conditions are observed for the dispersion of polluting particles in the atmospheric air, and to a greater extent during the cold period of the year. The results indicate the manifestations of natural and anthropogenic atmospheric processes that prevent the dispersion of pollution in the atmosphere. The performed research is significant for the practical use. Since data on the spatial and temporal variability of the dispersion potential of atmospheric air must be previously assessed when implementing measures to manage air quality in an industrial region.
APPLICATION OF PINN AND THE METHOD OF DIFFERENTIAL CONSTRUCTION OF ADAPTIVE ONE-DIMENSIONAL COMPUTATIONAL GRIDS

Published: October 2024

This paper presents an approach to constructing adaptive one-dimensional computational grids using the Beltrami equation and Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). The main focus is on exploring the potential for precise control of grid node density through the control function ω(s), which allows the grid to adapt to the local features of the problem. The Beltrami equation used, being a key component of the method, regulates the distribution of nodes by modifying the function’s derivatives depending on the values of the control function. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated through examples involving one and two regions of node clustering. The results showed that the PINN method combined with the Beltrami equation allows for the creation of computational grids with a high degree of adaptation to given conditions, providing detailed modeling in critical regions. This approach has advantages over traditional numerical methods, as integrating physical laws in the grid construction process minimizes numerical errors and improves modeling accuracy. The use of neural networks offers flexibility in model tuning and the ability to account for complex nonlinear dependencies. The discussion of the results highlights the potential of using PINNs for adaptive grid construction in various fields requiring precise and efficient modeling. In conclusion, this study confirms that the combination of the Beltrami equation and PINNs is a powerful tool for adaptive grid construction, opening new possibilities for numerical modeling of complex physical processes.

Published: October 2024

The propagation of a pressure wave in a porous medium with a fractured porous zone was numerically investigated. The study used a two-velocity model of a porous medium and a three-velocity model of a fractured porous medium. The problem was examined in a twodimensional formulation, considering cases when a porous medium has a free surface or is unbounded. The fractured porous zone was shown to have either an ellipseor rectangle-shaped boundary. The inﬂuence of such inhomogeneities on the propagation of pressure perturbations was analyzed.

This report presents the results of a friendly competition for formal verification of continuous and hybrid systems with artificial intelligence (AI) components. Specifically, machine learning (ML) components in cyber-physical systems (CPS), such as feedforward neural networks used as feedback controllers in closed-loop systems, are considered, which is a class of systems classically known as intelligent control systems, or in more modern and specific terms, neural network control systems (NNCS). We broadly refer to this category as AI and NNCS (AINNCS). The friendly competition took place as part of the workshop Applied Verification for Continuous and Hybrid Systems (ARCH) in 2024. In the 8th edition of this AINNCS category at ARCH-COMP, five tools have been applied to solve 12 benchmarks, which are CORA, CROWN-Reach, GoTube, JuliaReach, and NNV. This is the year with the largest interest in the community, with two new, and three previous participants. Following last year’s trend, despite the additional challenges presented, the verification results have improved year-over-year. In terms of computation time, we can observe that the previous participants have improved as well, showing speed-ups of up to one order of magnitude, such as JuliaReach on the TORA benchmark with ReLU controller, and NNV on the TORA benchmark with both heterogeneous controllers.
