Episteologiczny ideał wiedzy i jego odrzucenie
Authors: Sieczkowski Tomasz
Published: July 2023

In the paper I try to present what I termed epistheology in its relation to basic concepts of theory of knowledge: the knowledge itself, its unity and systemic character, criteria of truth and selfevidence, and the questions of justification (of knowledge and criteria of knowledge both) and ethical ideal of knowledge as the contemplation of God's design. Epistheology is thus an epistemic discourse based on and warranted by theological concepts. I analyze Descartes, Malebranche, Leibniz and the like to demonstrate the way this discourse operates. In the second part of the paper I sketch the British approach: empirical, secular, and most importantly based on the concept of verisimilitude. Humean philosophy is in this way not only seen as antagonistic to its continental predecessors, but also victorious as a foundation of new and fertile paradigm of secular science.
W obronie Gumika. Uwagi o "Bajkach funkcjonalistów" Tadeusza Skalskiego
Authors: Grabarczyk Paweł
Published: July 2023

The titular "Bandie" is a fictional creature devised by Tadeusz Skalski in his "Fairy Tales of
Functionalism" (published in "Folia Philosophica" 24). It is supposed to be a reduction ad
absurdum for the thesis of organizational invariance. I show that the argument works only because
the though experiment Skalski uses is highly suggestive and that, contrary to Skalski's intentions,
The Bandie is in fact quite a complex dynamic system.
Realizacja samorządowych programów polityki zdrowotnej (PPZ) przez gminy miejskie, wiejsko-miejskie oraz wiejskie realizacja programów polityki zdrowotnej przez samorządy
Authors: Woźniak-Holecka Joanna , Sobczyk Karolina , Suchecki Kajetan
Published: July 2023

Samorządy terytorialne posiadają niedoceniony potencjał w kreowaniu zdrowotności mieszkańców. Jednym z przejawów polityki zdrowotnej na tym poziomie są samorządowe programy oraz strategie zdrowotne. Te ostatnie mają istotne znaczenie w ocenie i monitorowaniu potrzeb zdrowotnych mieszkańców, począwszy od analizy demograficznej ludności danego regionu, poprzez ocenę zasobów kadrowych, instytucjonalnych i finansowych jednostek samorządu terytorialnego (JST), aż do identyfikowania wyrażonych przez populację potrzeb. Kluczowe znaczenie ma użyteczność strategii w planowaniu i realizacji programu polityki zdrowotnej (PPZ). Programy stanowią więc bezpośrednią odpowiedź na potrzeby lokalnej społeczności w zakresie zdrowia i wyraźnie mogą je zaspokajać.Projekt ma na celu opisanie potencjału gmin w realizacji oraz ewaluacji samorządowych programów zdrowotnych w następującym zakresie: tematyka PPZ, źródła finansowania PPZ, realizatorzy PPZ. Punktem odniesienia będzie wielkość zaangażowanej gminy w podziale na: gminy miejskie, wiejskie i miejsko-wiejskie.Badanie zostało przeprowadzone na próbie 401 JST z terenu całego kraju, metodą pocztową oraz ankiety internetowej CAWI (Computer Assisted Web Interviews). Podjęte działania pozwoliły na uzyskanie zwrotu ankiet na poziomie 50,6%. Populacja została podzielona na warstwy, czyli grupy jednostek mających pewne wspólne cechy. Próbkowanie warstwowe oparto na podziale kraju na województwa. W każdym z podregionów wylosowano 50 JST, do których skierowano kwestionariusz ankiety.Jak wynika z badań własnych, małe gminy są motywowane do realizacji PPZ przez dofinansowanie zewnętrzne lub nie znają potencjału PPZ, gminy o średniej wielkości (ok. 20 tys. mieszkańców) skupiają się przede wszystkim na działaniach prospołecznych i prozdrowotnych, a gminy największe (miejskie) podchodzą do realizacji PPZ zadaniowo.Potencjał gmin wydaje się zatem bardzo zróżnicowany i spolaryzowany, przy czym efektywność gmin w tym zakresie koreluje z ich wielkością. Odmienne są również trudności, na jakie natrafiają chętni do realizowania programu polityki zdrowotnej na swoim terenie. Jednocześnie należy odnotować, że aktywność JST na polu dostępności do świadczeń ochrony zdrowia jest coraz większa.

Published: July 2023

Esta es la ofrenda intelectual que hoy presentarnos al doctor Héctor Cornejo Chávez, quienes hemos sido sus colegas y algunos que incluso hemos tenido el privilegio de ser sus alumnos. No necesitamos insistir sobre las razones de este Homenaje porque creemos que son evidentes para todos quienes conocen la calidad intelectual y humana del Maestro: su poderosa inteligencia, su rigor académico, la lógica férrea de su argumentación, han sido admirados por todas las generaciones de profesores y estudiantes que tuvieron contacto con sus lecciones, con sus libros o con su trato personal. Pero, sobre todo ello, destaca su probidad: honestidad científica hasta el escrúpulo que se advierte en cada uno de sus trabajos, rectitud y lealtad tanto respecto de la Universidad como de sus alumnos en sus 31 años de cátedra, integridad y hombría de bien en su vida en general, asumiendo siempre una actitud nítida de acuerdo a sus convicciones. Es posible discrepar con el doctor Cornejo Chávez, pero no es posible desconocer la transparencia de su pensamiento y la consecuencia en mdos los actos de su vida: esta es la verdadera gran lección que nos ha sido entregada por el Maestro y que le agradecemos con estos modestos trabajos.
El contrato en general : comentarios a la sección primera del libro VII del Código civil : primera parte (artículos 1351 a 1413)
Authors: de la Puente y Lavalle Manuel
Published: July 2023

La presente obra, si bien cubre el · mismo campo, tiene una finalidad distinta pues está orientada a comentar, uno a uno, los artículos comprendidos en la Sécción Primera del Libro VII del Código civil peruano de 1984, que versa también sobre los contratos en general. Esto determina que la técnica de ambos libros sea completamente diferente, aun cuando no es posible desconocer la vinculación entre ellos. Podría decirse que el primero marca los pasos del segundo y que éste analiza los frutos de aquél.

Personajes míticos, escenas y narraciones en la iconografía mochica
Authors: Castillo Luis Jaime
Published: July 2023

Varios problemas esenciales se plantean al intentar de rescatar la información abundante sobre creiencias y rituales contenida en la iconografía mochica: ¿Cómo precisar, aproximándose a los criterios manejados por el artista, la identidad de personajes, la función de objetos y el carácter de espacios? ¿Cuáles son los códigos mediante los cuales un observador competente podía reconocer, sin dificultad alguna, la narración contenida en una imagen? ¿Cómo asociar de manera debidamente contrastada, las figuraciones presentes en diferentes ceramios o en espacios distintos del mismo soporte para poder reconstruir de este modo las unidades y los ciclos narrativos? LUIS JAIME CASTILLO, profesor del Departamento de Humanidades de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, en la especialidad de arqueología, está buscando, en este libro, respuestas a varias preguntas derivadas de aquellos problemas. Su objetivo es afinar el método de la descripción preiconográfica de manera tal, que se revele la personalidad de actores y el trama principal del mito. Partiendo de la figuración compleja en un ceramio del Museo Larco Herrera, el autor intenta deslindar si el personaje sobrenatural más recurrente en la iconografía mochica y asimismo más versátil en sus atributos, poses y acciones(" Aia Paec" de R. Larco) representa a una o a varias divinidades emparentadas. Reconstruye asimismo la secuencia de sus hazañas. El estudio de Luis Jaime Castillo contribuye de este modo tanto al desarrollo del método iconológico aplicado a las fuentes andinas como a la discusión sobre el carácter y la organización del panteón mochica.
Don Pedro de la Gasca, 1493-1567 : su obra política en España y América
Authors: Hampe Martínez Teodoro
Published: July 2023

El presente estudio se ocupa de analizar la actuación de una figura importante dentro de la historia política del siglo XVI en España y sus dominios de América: el clérigo bargueño don Pedro de la Gasca, obispo que fue de Palencia y de Sigüenza. Nuestro propósito consiste en exponer a este personaje como modelo representativo de los funcionarios castellanos que administraron los negocios públicos en la etapa inicial del Imperio hispánico, determinando los factores culturales, sociales y personales que dan forma a su intervención en la escena política. La obra del licenciado Gasca tiene lugar en ambientes diversos, como el mundo universitario de Alcalá de Henares y Salamanca, la Corte castellana, el reino de Valencia, el ultramarino virreinato del Perú, el séquito de consejeros acompañantes de Carlos V en sus territorios de habla germana y las sedes episcopales ya mencionadas de Palencia y Sigüenza. Esta amplitud en el marco geográfico de sus acciones simboliza claramente su pertenencia al formidable experimento que supone la España imperial gobernada por Carlos V.
Parentesco, reciprocidad y jerarquía en los Andes : una aproximación a la organización social de la comunidad de Andamarca
Authors: Ossio Juan M.
Published: July 2023

El propósito central de este libro es entender la naturaleza del sistema de relaciones que configura la organización social de una comunidad andina a partir de una observación detallada del comportamiento de los actores sociales y sus representaciones colectivas. Profundizando en la composición social de unidades residenciales, áreas productivas, algunos rituales, la transmisión de la propiedad, y otros aspectos culturales se demuestra que la relación social más significativa es aquella basada en el parentesco. Dada la importancia de este último, sus características son examinadas exhaustivamente a través de distintos contextos como la terminología quechua utilizada por los actores sociales, los diferentes grupos que los aglutinan, las actividades rituales y laborales, el matrimonio y muy particularmente el parentesco ceremonial. Todo este material conforma la segunda parte del libro y provee el medio para entender la naturaleza de la reciprocidad andina.
Crecimiento, industrialización y cambio técnico : Perú, 1955-1980
Authors: Vega Centeno Bocángel Máximo
Published: July 2023

Los problemas de la industrialización o del crecimiento industrial del Cambio Técnico y de la necesidad de Tecnologías eficientes y socialmente deseables están, ciertamente, entre los más urgentes y delicados de un país en desarrollo. En el presente trabajo se ofrece en primer término, una síntesis teórica para el análisis de estos problemas, que sin pretender resolver todas las cuestiones pendientes, constituye un esfuerzo importante de sistematización, adecuación y complementación de la teoría conocida y define una perspectiva promisoria para el análisis empírico. El núcleo de la preocupación es el de estudiar la actividad tecnológica interna y relacionarla con el desempeño industrial. En este sentido, la elección de tecnología, el cambio en las técnicas y la introducción de eventuales técnicas nuevas, así como la generación de estas son tratadas como decisiones causadas o condicionadas por el propio funcionamiento de la economía, es decir, son variables endógenas del sistema. En segundo término se presentan los estudios empíricos realizados en esta perspectiva, a propósito del conjunto del sector manufacturero peruano y a propósito de industrias específicas. Los resultados permiten al autor afirmar que existe una Actividad Tecnológica Interna que es significativa y que reviste caracteristicas peculiares. En economías como la del Perú, que muestran una corta historia industrial, se puede observar sobre todo un flujo de Cambios Menores (por oposición o con referencia a la Innovación o Cambio Mayor), es decir por esfuerzos de Adaptación, Mejora, Modificación y Difusión de técnicas mayormente generadas en el Exterior. Salvo casos excepcionales, lo que se encuentra son cambios de pequeña envergadura, muy localizados, pero que sin embargo reflejan capacidad y posibilidad de desarrollo, que es necesario estimular y orientar.
Sociedad, ley y universidad peruana
Authors: Mac Gregor Felipe E.
Published: July 2023

La Universidad en el Perú ha estado más vinculada al gobierno que a la sociedad, por eso la sucesión de los gobiernos de fuerza o primaveras democráticas sin otoño de recolección han traído nuevas leyes universitarias. La relación universidad-sociedad también es singular entre nosotros: considerada la Universidad como depositaria del "poder" capaz de transformar la sociedad, muchos han decidido convertirla en el gran taller de transformación social. La filiación doctrinal de nuestros hombres públicos también es responsable de esta orientación . Según Jorge Guillermo Leguía la visión de la Universidad de los primeros cien años de la República estuvo inspirada en la concepción napoleónica: la Universidad, parte del aparato del Estado, dirige, gobierna, y prepara para administrar. Ideas más reales pero menos ambiciosas como la de servir, aprender de la sociedad, no son populares. Difícilmente aceptarían bastantes universitarios de las dos categorías en que están divididos, los que aprenden estudiando y los que enseñan aprendiendo, la expresión de Johan Galtung: pocas cosas hay tan prácticas como una buena teoría.
Universidad y estudiante : naturaleza jurídica de la relación estudiantil, hacia un derecho universitario
Authors: LLerena Quevedo J. Rogelio
Published: July 2023

En este trabajo intento una exploración· del Derecho de la Universidad. El asunto admite un tratamiento riguroso y profundo, aunque ciertamente la pretensión está más allá del logro. Insisto porque creo que el Derecho tiene, además de la función tutelar, una función educativa. Y que, así como la Universidad se esfuerza por preparar cuidadosamente la información científica que trasmite, debe cuidarse de trasmitir, a través de sus fenómenos jurídicos, sus significaciones, sus valores y sus normas. Si este trabajo provocara alguna preocupación por el tema, quizá la audacia pudiera ser disculpada.
Escuela mixta : alumnos y maestros la prefieren
Authors: Sara-Lafosse Violeta , Chira Coloma Carmen Milagros , Fernández Blanca
Published: July 2023

La educación mixta o coeducación comenzó a aplicarse en forma obligatoria en el Perú, el año 1972; sin embargo en 1983 se dio marcha atrás. La explicación ofrecida para el cambio de política fue la queja de los padres de familia por los embarazos de las alumnas. Se dejó traslucir, asimismo, el temor a un desarrollo feminoide de los jovenes varones. El problema así planteado y lo discutible de las conclusiones desprendidas, exigía una investigación, la cual ha llevado a descubrir que los casos de embarazos corresponden en mayor proporción a alumnas de colegios de mujeres y que el homosexualismo solo se presenta en colegios de varones. Se pudo comprobar asimismo que si bien hay padres de familia que rechazan la coeducación, hay una proporción casi igual que está a favor de ella, y que los rechazos están basados en prejuicios más que en experiencias. Al mismo tiempo la preferencia de alumnos y docentes por la coeducación se presentó muy definida y claramente.

Si a ello integramos el interés por la búsqueda del mensaje en los libros, junto a la riqueza del lenguaje adquirida en ese afán de leer, valorar, sopesar y confrontar ideas, se puede despertar la imaginación, la creatividad, para relacionar una visión particular sobre el papel del libro en la cultura humana.
Study on Hyperspectral Reflectance of Brown Planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) Infestation in Rice
Authors: Sivaranjani S. , Geethalakshmi V. , Pazhanivelan S. , Kennedy J.S. , Ramanathan S.P.
Published: July 2023

Background: Pest management plays crucial role in yield prediction in all crops. In Rice, Brown Planthopper (BPH) plays major role in yield reduction. Pest forewarning in agriculture is the important tool and popularly used in various countries to avoid huge fertilizer and pesticide application. In this regard, Hyperspectral remote sensing gives various information about the spectral characteristics of BPH infected plants. Methods: Investigations were carried out to assess the damage of BPH infestation at the field level using a portable Hyper spectral radiometer. The farmers field at the BPH prone area of Kuttalam block, Nagapattinam district, Tamil Nadu was chosen to analyze the spectral reflectance of BPH -infected and uninfected plants and derive certain vegetation indices for accurate forewarning. The specific spectral bands from visible to infra-red (445 nm, 550 nm, 670 nm, 760 nm, 800 nm) were utilized to detect of BPH-infested plants over the field area. Result: Among various vegetation indices, the index MCARI (Modified Chlorophyll Absorption Reflectance Index) was performed well with high accuracy from early to late infestation at the field level and considered as the most effective tool in Precision Agriculture. As a result, The specific indices were analysed over BPH infected area to prevent greater spreading of pest damage and to minimize pesticides in the field.

Published: July 2023

Background: In India, the dairy business is expanding dramatically. Tamil Nadu milk cooperatives significantly contribute to the growth of the dairy sector in the state. In terms of delivering economic income for dairy smallholders and satisfying customer demand, the identification of milk production is one of the primary financial operations made in India. Considering this, it is crucial to understand future production to enhance and sustain the sector’s growth and development. Methods: The present investigation attempts to predict and forecast milk production in Tamil Nadu using time series models. Yearly milk data from 1976 to 2020 was taken. The study considered Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to select the appropriate stochastic model for forecasting milk production in Tamil Nadu. Further statistical modeling procedures employed for milk production reveal that the selection of a suitable time series model will always depend on the nature of the data. Result: Results revealed that the ARIMA model is selected as the best model despite ANN, even if it is considered the most powerful model. The CAGR for forecasted milk production from 2020-2025 was 0.02%. Model adequacy criteria like RMSE, MAPE and MAE are used. Based on observation ARIMA model (1, 1, 2) is chosen as the best model over the ANN model.

İmmünglobulin A vasküliti (IgAV) palpabl purpura’ya ek olarak karın ağrısı, artrit, hematüri ve/veya proteinüri, IgA baskın depolanma gösteren doku biyopsisi kriterlerinden en az birisinin birlikteliği ile tanısı konulan bir küçük damar vaskülitidir. Bu hastalarda %30-50 oranlarında değişken prezentasyonlarla böbrek tutulumu görülebilmektedir. IgAV nefritinde (IgAVN) proteinüri renal prognoz hakkında fikir vericidir. Bu çalışmada çocukluk çağı IgAVN’de proteinüri miktarının klinikopatolojik özellikler ve renal sağkalım ile ilişkisini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmaya Ocak 2005-Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında biyopsi ile IgAVN tanısı kesinleştirilmiş 48 çocuk hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların başvuru, 3.ay, 6.ay, 12. ay ve son başvuru dönemlerine ait klinik, laboratuvar ve patolojik bulgular, aldıkları tedaviler kaydedildi. Başvuru proteinüri miktarlarına göre hastalar nefrotik düzeyde olan ve olmayan olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Renal sağkalım için Meadow sınıflaması kullanıldı. Hastaların ortanca tanı yaşı 8 (6-12), erkek/kız oranı 1.1 idi. Nefrotik düzey proteinürisi olan 34 hasta mevcuttu, bu hastalarda IgAV tanısından böbrek tutulumuna ve renal semptom başlangıcından biyopsi yapılmasına kadar geçen süre daha kısa (p=0.027), başvuru eGFR değerleri daha yüksekti (p=0.021). Nefrotik düzey proteinürisi olan hastaların biyopsilerinde kresent yüzdesi (p=0.036), klinikte steroide ek immunsupresif kullanımı daha fazla (p=0.011), remisyona girme süresi anlamlı olarak daha uzundu (p=0.016) ancak proteinürisi nefrotik düzeyde olan ve olmayanların renal sağkalım oranlarında anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p=0.469). Sonuç olarak, IgAVN’de proteinüri önemli bir bulgudur ve proteinürinin miktarı arttıkça böbrek hasarına katkısı artar. Daha ağır biyopsi bulguları, yoğun immunosupresif tedavi ihtiyacı ve uzamış remisyona girme süreleri göz önüne alındığında IgAV hastalarında düzenli aralıklarla idrarda protein taraması yapmak, erken tedavi başlanarak olası komplikasyonların önüne geçmek açısından önemlidir.
Prospects of soft biopotential interfaces for wearable human-machine interactive devices and applications
Authors: Nagwade Pritish , Parandeh Samira , Lee Sanghoon
Published: July 2023

Human interaction with machines can be made easy, comfortable, and accessible by introducing user-friendly interfaces. In the case of wearable devices, their sensors and other interfacing elements are very well within the proximity of users. Since biopotential signals can be accessed from the surface of the human skin, users can have seamless interaction with wearable human-computer interactive devices. Rigid interfaces can hinder the user experience, and therefore, the need for soft biopotential interfaces is important. Imperceptible and unobtrusive soft biopotential interfaces will drastically enhance many aspects of human-computer interaction. This paper reviews the use of soft, flexible, and stretchable biopotential interfaces in wearable human-machine interactive devices. Additionally, attention is brought to the scope of other possible applications of soft biopotential interfaces in wearable devices.

Authors: Da Luz Petterson Baptista , Pivetta Kathia Fernandes Lopes
Published: July 2023

As palmeiras são exploradas e cultivadas para os mais diversos fins, entre eles o ornamental. A propagação das palmeiras é feita, quase que exclusivamente, por sementes, porém, há grande variação no processo de germinação, influenciada por diversos fatores, temperatura do ambiente e período entre a colheita e o armazenamento. A espécie Ptychosperma macarthurii é uma espécie de valor ornamental e tem sido objeto de estudos sobre o processo de formação de mudas. Portanto, este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar o efeito do armazenamento temporário na germinação de sementes. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado. Para o estudo de armazenamento foram utilizados 7 tratamentos (semeadura logo após a colheita, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 e 6 semanas após); com 4 repetições de 25 diásporos. Os diásporos foram colocados em caixa de tipo gerbox, contendo vermiculita que ficaram em câmara de germinação a 25°C, já as sementes armazenadas, permaneceram em condições de laboratório. Foram calculados a porcentagem de germinação e o Índice de Velocidade de Germinação e realizada a análise de regressão polinomial. Concluiu-se que a porcentagem de germinação aumentou com o armazenamento atingindo seu maior ponto após 3 semanas de armazenamento, a velocidade de germinação aumentou durante o armazenamento até a quinta semana.
A Review on Performance and Stability Improvement of Ternary Semi-Transparent Organic Solar Cells: Material and Architectural Approaches
Authors: Amin Peshawa O. , Muhammadsharif Fahmi F. , Saeed Salah Raza , Ketuly Kamal Aziz
Published: July 2023

In the past decade, considerable efforts have been devoted to the development of semitransparent organic solar cells. Numerous materials and architectures have been proposed for the future commercialization of these devices. Among these, the use of ternary active layers demonstrated a great promise for the development of efficient semi-transparent organic solar cells with the potential for future applications including self-powered greenhouses and powered windows. Researchers seek alternative solutions to the trade-off between device power conversion efficiency (PCE) and average visible transmittance (AVT), with photoactive materials being the key parameters that govern both (PCE) and (AVT) as well as device stability. Several new organic materials, including polymers and small molecules, were synthesized, and used in conjunction with a variety of techniques to achieve semitransparent conditions. In this review paper, we will look at the working principle and key parameters of semi-transparent organic solar cells, as well as the methods that have been used to improve the performance of ternary-based semi-transparent organic solar cells. The main approaches were concluded to be spectral enhancement and transparency increment of the active layer through bandgap tuning, utilizing novel organic semiconductors, and design architecture of the active layers.
Ferromagnetic Fluctuations in the Heavily Overdoped Regime of Single-Layer High-TC Cuprate Superconductors
Authors: Adachi Tadashi , Kurashima Koshi , Kawamata Takayuki , Noji Takashi , Nakajima Satoru , Koike Yoji
Published: July 2023

To investigate proposed ferromagnetic fluctuations in the single-layer Bi-2201 and La-214 high-Tc cuprates, we performed magnetization and electrical-resistivity measurements using single-layer Tl-2201 cuprates Tl2Ba2CuO6+d as well as La-214 La2-xSrxCuO4 in the heavily overdoped regime. Magnetization of Tl-2201 exhibited the tendency to be saturated in high magnetic fields at low temperatures, suggesting the precursor behavior toward the formation of a ferromagnetic order. It was found that the power of temperature n obtained from the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity is ~ 4/3 and ~5/3 for Bi-2201 and La-214, respectively, and is ~ 4/3 at high temperatures and ~5/3 at low temperatures in Tl-2201. These results suggest that two-dimensional ferromagnetic fluctuations exist in Tl-2201 at high temperatures and Bi-2201 and that three-dimensional ferromagnetic fluctuations exist in Tl-2201 at low temperatures and La-214. The dimensionality of ferromagnetic fluctuations is understood in terms of the dimensionality of the crystal structure and the bonding of atoms in the blocking layer.
An Unsupervised Machine Learning Approach for Monitoring Data Fusion and Health Indicator Construction
Authors: Huang Lin , Pan Xin , Liu Yajie , Gong Li
Published: July 2023

The prediction of system degradation is very important as it serves as an important basis for the formulation of condition-based maintenance strategies. An effective health indicator (HI) plays a key role in the prediction of system degradation as it enables vital information for critical tasks ranging from fault diagnosis to remaining useful life prediction. To address this issue, a method for monitoring data fusion and health indicator construction based on autoencoder (AE) and long short-term memory (LSTM) network is proposed to improve the predictability and effectiveness of health indicator in this study. Firstly, an unsupervised method and overall framework for HI construction is built based on deep autoencoder and LSTM neural network. The neural network is trained fully based on the normal operating monitoring data and then the construction error of the AE model is adopted as the health indicator of the system. Secondly, we propose related machine learning techniques for monitoring data processing to overcome the issue of data fusion, like mutual information for sensor selection and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (T-SNE) for operating condition identification, etc. Thirdly, in order to verify the performance of the proposed method, experiments are conducted based on CMAPSS dataset and results are compared with algorithms of principal component analysis (PCA) and vanilla autoencoder model. Result shows that LSTM-AE model outperforms the PCA and Vanilla-AE model in metrics of monotonicity, trendability, prognosability and fitness. Fourthly, in order to analyze the impact of the time step of the LSMT-AE model on HI construction, we construct and analyze the system HI curve under different time steps of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 cycles. Finally, the results demonstrate that the proposed method for HI construction can effectively characterize the health state of system, which is helpful for further failure prognostics and converting the scheduled maintenance into condition-based maintenance.
Finding an Extension of the Expected Value That Is Unique, Finite, and Natural for All Functions in Prevalent Subset of the Set of All Functions
Authors: Krishnan Bharath
Published: July 2023

Suppose for n∈ ℕ, set A⊆ℝⁿ and function f∶A→ ℝⁿ. If set A, using the Hausdorff outer measure, is measurable in the sense of Carathèodory; we want to find an extension of the expected value, w.r.t the Hausdorff measure, that's unique, finite and "natural" (defined on §2.3 & §2.4) for all f in a prevalent subset of ℝᴬ. The issue is current extensions of the expected value are finite for all functions in only a shy subset of ℝᴬ. The reason this issue wasn't resolved is mathematicians have not thought of the problem, focusing on application rather than generalization. Despite the lack of potential use, we'll attempt to solve the problem by defining a choice function---this shall choose a unique set of equivalent sequences of sets (Fₖ***) , where the set-theoretic limit of Fₖ*** is the graph of ; the measure Hʰ is the ℎ-Hausdorff measure, such for each k∈ℕ, 0 < Hʰ(Fₖ***) < +∞; and (fₖ*) is a sequence of functions where {(x,fₖ*(x))∶x∈ dom(Fₖ***)}=Fₖ***. Thus, the extended expected value of or E**[f,Fₖ***] is: ∀(ε>0)∃(N∈ℕ)∀(k∈N)(k≥N⇒1/Hʰ(dom(Fₖ***))∫dom(Fₖ*** )fₖ* dHʰ - E**[f,Fₖ***]<ε ) which should be unique, finite, and "natural" (defined on §2.3 & §2.4) for all f in a prevalent subset of ℝᴬ. Note we guessed the choice function using computer programming but we don’t use mathematical proofs due to the lack of expertise in the subject matter. Despite this, the biggest use of this research is the extension of the expected value is finite for "almost all" functions: this is easier to use in application when finding the "average" of functions covering an infinite expanse of space.

Current methodologies for developing patient-derived xenografts (PDX) in humanized mice in preclinical trials to test response to immune-based therapies are limited by graft versus host disease. Here we compared two approaches for establishing PDX tumors in humanized mice: 1) PDX are first established in immune-deficient mice; 2) PDX are initially established in humanized mice, before transplanting established PDX’s to a larger cohort of humanized mice for preclinical trials. With the first approach, there was rapid wasting of PDX-bearing humanized mice with high levels of activated T cells in the circulation and organs, indicating immune-mediated toxicity. In contrast, with the second approach, toxicity was less of an issue and long-term human melanoma tumor growth and maintenance of human chimerism was achieved. Pre-clinical trials from the second approach revealed that rigosertib, but not anti-PD-1, increased CD8/CD4 T cell ratios in spleen and blood and inhibited PDX tumor growth. Resistance to anti-PD-1 was associated with limited infiltration of CD8+ T cell into the tumor. Our findings suggest that it is essential to carefully manage immune editing by first establishing PDX tumors in the presence of human immune cells before expanding PDX tumors into a larger cohort of humanized mice to evaluate therapy response.

(1) Background: Since the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, seven epidemic waves have been described in Spain. Our objective was to study mortality and severity, and associated factors in our hospitalized patients; (2) Method: Retrospective cohort study was conducted on COVID-19 patients admitted to the Hospital de Fuenlabrada (Madrid, Spain) from the beginning of the pandemic until December 31, 2022; (3) Results: A total of 5,510 admissions for COVID-19 were recorded. First wave accounted for 1,823 (33%) and exhibited the highest proportion of severe patients (lowest mean oxygen saturation, 88.2%; elevated levels of CRP, IL-6, D-dimer and ferri-tin), but a below-average percentage of intubated patients (5% vs. 6.5%). Overall mortality rate was 10.3%, higher during the first wave (11.5%) and the two winter waves (third: 11.3%, sixth: 12%), although the first wave represented 39% of the total. Variables associated with mortality were age (OR 1.08,1.07-1.09), need for high-flow oxygen (OR 6.10,4.94-7.52), oncological disease (OR 1.88,1.53-2.60), dementia (OR 1.82,1.2-2.75), Charlson index (OR 1.38,1.31-1.47), and maxi-mum IL-6 levels (OR 1.001,1.000-1.001); (4) Conclusions: Variables associated with mortality in-cluded age, comorbidity, respiratory failure, and inflammation. Differences on baseline charac-teristics of patients admitted explained differences on mortality in each wave
A Quantum Model of Interdependence for Embodied Human-Machine Teams: A Review of the Path to Autonomy Facing Complexity and Uncertainty

Published: July 2023

In this review, our goal is to design and test quantum-like algorithms for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in open systems to structure a human-machine team to be able to reach its maximum performance. Unlike the laboratory, in open systems, teams face complexity, uncertainty and conflict. All task domains have complexity levels, some have low, and others high levels. Complexity in this new domain is affected by the environment and the task, which are both affected by uncertainty and conflict. We contrast the individual and interdependence approaches to teams. The traditional and individual approach focuses on building teams and systems by aggregating the best available information for individuals, their thoughts, behaviors and skills. Its concepts are characterized chiefly by one-to-one relations between mind and body, a summation of disembodied individual mental and physical attributes, and degrees of freedom corresponding to the number of members in a team; however, this approach is characterized by the many researchers who have invested in it for almost a century with few effects that can be generalized to human-machine interactions; by the replication crisis of today (e.g., the invalid scales for self-esteem, implicit racism, and honesty); and by its many disembodied concepts. In contrast, our approach is based on the quantum-like nature of interdependence. It allows us to theorize about the bistability of mind and body, but it proposes a measurement problem and a non-factorable nature. Bistability addresses team structure and performance; the measurement problem solves the replication crisis; and the non-factorable aspect of teams reduces the degrees of freedom and the information derivable from teammates to match findings by the National Academies of Science. We begin with a review of the science of teams and a focus on human-machine team research in the laboratory versus the open; justifications for rejecting traditional social science while supporting our approach; a full understand of the complexity of the domain, tasks in the domain, and how teams address both; the mathematics involved; a review of results from our model versus the open field; a discussion of the results; conclusions; and the path forward to successfully advance the science of interdependence and autonomy.
Study on the Spatiotemporal Evolution of the "Contraction-Expansion" Change of the Boundary
between Two Green Belts in Beijing Based on a Multi-index System
Authors: Fangzhi Zhan , Zhicheng Liu
Published: July 2023

As an important means of controlling the spread of cities, large-scale urban green belts have been widely used in the planning and construction of green space systems in various mega-size cities around the world. In previous studies, there has been more research on the overall isolation effect of green belts, while there has been less research on changes in their internal structure. There have been more perspectives on the land-use change (LUC) caused by urban expansion, and less systematic research on the dual driving factors of LUC. In this paper, we constructed a multi-dimensional index system to measure the "contraction-expansion" mechanism of land use in the overlapping vegetation areas of large green belts under the dual influence of urban expansion and urban greening, from the perspectives of quantity, space, and connectivity during different construction periods. Taking the boundary of two green belts in Beijing as an example, we hope to provide scientific support for the construction and ecological protection of Beijing's green belts.

This study aimed to identify and differentiate the factors that may affect the incidence of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction in children with type 1 diabetes. We analyzed the TMJ symptoms, clinical and laboratory parameters of type 1 diabetes in a cohort of 101 consecutive patients. The participants were evaluated regarding the presence of pain in the masticatory muscles, TMJ sounds, mouth opening, maximum mouth opening, lateral and protrusive excursions, and Fonseca scores. The overall cohort showed a mean Fonseca score of 20 ± 13.89, referred to mild TMJ dysfunction. Of patients, 34.65% presented at least one clinical symptom and were defined as having dysfunction. The most frequently recorded symptom was TMJ sounds, presented in 16.8% of children. In subjects with dysfunction compared to those without dysfunction, a significant difference was found at height standard deviation scores, Fonseca scores and maximum mouth opening (p<0.001). HbA1c levels, diabetes duration, age and gender did not reveal any significant differences between the patients with and without dysfunction. Type 1 diabetes is often associated with limited mouth opening and mild TMJ dysfunction. This dysfunction may reflect a more chronic condition and possibly exceeds the prevalence of cheiroartropathy. This study could be a starting point towards enhancing our understanding of clinically evident TMJ involvement in type 1 diabetes.

This study specifically aims to identify coastal abrasion as seen from the coastline shift, from 1989 to 2020 in Pesisir Utara Sub-district and Lemong Sub-district, Pesisir Barat Regency, Lampung Province, by interpreting remote sensing data. The data used are Landsat satellite imagery for 1989, 2000, 2006, and 2020. Landsat satellite imagery are corrected by radiometric and geometric correction. The geometric correction is registered to Landsat imagery in 1989. The corrected satellite imagery is digitized for the coastline. The results of the digitized coastline were then overlaid, then the coastline shift was calculated from 1989 to 2020. The coastline shift calculation was carried out at 16 locations in Pesisir Utara Sub-district and Lemong Sub-district. The results of calculations at 16 sample locations show that there has been a shift in the coastline due to coastal abrasion from 1989 to 2020 of 2.0 m/yr. For areas where the coastal conditions are rocky and there are shallow rocks in front of it, the coastline shift is only small, such as in the cape area before Walur Village. This coastline shift was also evidenced by direct checking of the area and asking local residents, the results showed that the overall shift of the coastline was caused by coastal abrasion.

Published: July 2023

Pasaran Island is a small island connected to the mainland island of Sumatra and located in Bandar Lampung. Pasaran Island is one of the supports for the economy in Bandar Lampung. This is in line with the 2011-2030 RTRW of Bandar Lampung as a strategic minapolitan area (Pasaran and Lempasing) in driving the regional economy and utilizing appropriate technology. Pasaran Island is dominated by fishing villages and seafood processing centers in Lampung. With a population of ± 1,233 people in an area of ​​± 12 Ha, Pasaran Island has the potential for continued development. A study of the density of Built-up Land on Pasaran Island needs to be carried out so that it can become important information and data in managing the development of Pasaran Island in the future. Remote sensing technology using UAV was carried out to retrieve accurate and precise large-scale mapping information that allows the level of detail of Built-up Land to be mapped according to the original conditions in the field. In this study, the data used to extract Built-up Land was orthophoto which was produced through visual interpretation methods, and to determine the level of density and efficiency of Built-up Land conditions the digitization method and spatial analysis was by calculating the area of ​​Built-up Land and calculating the percentage of Built-up Land density in Pasaran Island. The results of this study consisted of two maps, which are a map of the classification of Built-up and Non-Built-up Land and a map of Built-up Land types. The percentage of Built-up Land density was obtained from the calculation of the area of ​​Built-up Land classes divided by the area of ​​Pasaran Island, which resulted in a built-up density of 87.15% consisting of building classes, open land, public facilities, and road networks. As for the results of the non-built density was 12.84%, which consisted of a vegetation class where the vegetation is in the tree-shaped form, the population density and building density of Pasaran Island are low density.
