Economic Globalization, Renewable Energy, and CO2 Emissions in Selected Emerging Countries
Authors:   Sriwijaya University, Shodrokova X. , Yulianita A. ,   Sriwijaya University, Bashir A. ,   Sriwijaya University
Published: September 2024

The phenomenon of economic globalization (EG) has a significant impact on CO2 emissions in emerging countries. This research seeks to examine the influence of EG and renewable energy consumption (REC) on CO2 emissions by utilizing secondary data from the World Bank spanning the years 2000 to 2022. The study hypothesizes that EG contributes to higher CO2 emissions, whereas the REC leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions. This study uses the Data Regression Results Panel with a Random Effect Model to analyze the data. The results show that EG contributes to economic growth accompanied by increased CO2 emissions. Rapid increases in economic activity and industrialization, often driven by FDI and international trade, lead to increased use of fossil energy and CO2 emissions. These findings support the pollution haven hypothesis that suggests that high-polluting production tends to move to countries with looser environmental regulations. However, the study also found that increased REC is associated with a decrease in CO2 emissions. The theoretical significance of the results of this study shows that while EG can drive economic growth, it also has a negative impact on the environment. In practical terms, this research underscores the necessity for policies that promote the use of renewable energy, enhance energy efficiency, and enforce stringent environmental regulations to mitigate the adverse environmental effects of economic globalization. Measures such as the promotion of renewable energy, the transfer of green technologies, increasing public awareness of environmental sustainability, diversifying the economy into greener sectors, and developing green infrastructure are essential.

Authors:   National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur, and Manipal University, Jaipur, Parthiban Eden Samuel , Adil Mohd ,   National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur
Published: September 2024

AI-based Conversational Agents play a pivotal role in reshaping industries through automation and information exchange. Despite their prominence, gaps persist in tailoring CAs for optimal integration into businesses and society. Our study addresses this gap, focusing on CAs in banking, a crucial sector at the forefront of technological adoption. Through a mixed-method approach, combining scientometric techniques, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, Necessary Condition Analysis, and Importance-Performance Mapping Analysis, we aim to understand the fit between banking CAs and consumer needs, by classifying, investigating, and isolating the necessary and important influencing elements contributing to the fit. The findings suggest that although three distinct factors relating to the individual (user), organization (banks), and system (CAs) play a role in the aforesaid integration, only organizational and systemic factors are crucial. Accordingly, our research contributes to information systems understanding and offers practical insights for stakeholders navigating the intricate dynamics of human-computer interaction.

Jobs and Support for Trade: Preliminary Findings
Authors: Rodríguez Chatruc Marisol , Stein Ernesto H. , Vlaicu Razvan , Zuluaga Víctor
Published: September 2024

International trade increases aggregate welfare but also creates winners and losers, which makes free trade a contentious political issue. Recent research has established that individuals are more sensitive to anti-trade information about the prospect of employment loss than to pro-trade information regarding lower product prices and increased variety. This means that we know what works to decrease support for trade, but it is still unclear what works to increase it. In this paper, we fill this gap by studying how individual attitudes and beliefs change in response to information regarding employment losses (in import-competing sectors), to information regarding employment gains (in export-oriented sectors), and to information regarding the possibility of compensation to those displaced by trade. To this end, we conducted a large scale survey experiment in eighteen Latin American countries using nationally representative samples. Results indicate that anti-trade information reduces support for trade even if compensation to losers is mentioned and that pro-trade messages increase support only if they are worded so that a job gain is perceived. Belief updating about the consequences of increased trade on employment seems to be a relevant mechanism. Our findings have important implications on what types of messaging work to increase support for trade.
The Causal Effects of Expected Depreciations: Preliminary Findings
Authors: Delgado Martha Elena , Herreño Juan David , Hofstetter Marc , Pedemonte Mathieu
Published: September 2024

We estimate the causal effects of a shift in the future expected exchange rate of a local currency against the US dollar on a representative sample of firms in a small open economy. We survey a nationally representative sample of firms and provide the one-year-ahead nominal exchange rate forecast published by the local central bank to a random sub-sample of firm managers. This information treatment is effective in shifting exchange rate expectations and perceptions. These effects are persistent and larger for non-exporting firms. Linking survey responses with administrative census data, we estimate a positive elasticity of current import expenditures to a future expected depreciation. Our estimates highlight the intertemporal margin of trade to anticipated changes in trade costs.

Purpose. Causal relationship recognition is a fundamental operation in neural networks aimed at learning behavior, action planning, and inferring external world dynamics. This operation is particularly crucial for reinforcement learning (RL). In the context of spiking neural networks (SNNs), events are represented as spikes emitted by network neurons or input nodes. Detecting causal relationships within these events is essential for effective RL implementation. Methods. This research paper presents a novel approach to realize causal relationship recognition using a simple spiking binary neuron. The proposed method leverages specially designed synaptic plasticity rules, which are both straightforward and efficient. Notably, our approach accounts for the temporal aspects of detected causal links and accommodates the representation of spiking signals as single spikes or tight spike sequences (bursts), as observed in biological brains. Furthermore, this study places a strong emphasis on the hardware-friendliness of the proposed models, ensuring their efficient implementation on modern and future neuroprocessors. Results. Being compared with precise machine learning techniques, such as decision tree algorithms and convolutional neural networks, our neuron demonstrates satisfactory accuracy despite its simplicity. Conclusion. We introduce a multi-neuron structure capable of operating in more complex environments with enhanced accuracy, making it a promising candidate for the advancement of RL applications in SNNs.
Advanced Innovations in Electronic Control Units: Enhancing Performance and Reliability with AI
Authors: Shah Chirag Vinalbhai , Ravi Aravind
Published: September 2024

This paper proposes a methodology for the design of electronic control unit (ECU) hardware units with increased performance and reliability. Today's vehicles are equipped with dozens of ECUs that significantly influence the system's efficiency, reliability, performance, and safety. With the increased complexity of control algorithms and the environmental constraints that automotive systems operate, the robustness and efficiency of the ECUs are of utmost importance.
In this work, an approach is proposed based on combining hardware redundancy, commercial field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and artificial intelligence strategies to provide increased redundancy checks and robust control. An additional redundancy is added to the hardware architecture of the ECU to include a parallel hardware unit. The two controlling units operate in parallel. The output of each of them is compared, allowing redundancy checks in the computation of the output variable (oV) of the system. The mathematical model of the ECU depicts the governing equations of the ECU in the form of differential equations, which results in a corresponding state-space configuration. These mathematical models are encoded into the field programmable gate array (FPGA) and processed in hardware, leading to an equivalent software-based implementation.
To analyze the performance of both models within the ECU, an artificial neural network (ANN)-based strategy is proposed. The ANN depicts the governing equations of the ECU in the form of differential equations encoded in the form of sigmoidal functions. To analyze the reliability of the control action in the ECU, the temperature of the system is increased, which leads to a random variation of the system parameters. The variability of the ECU parameters leads to a deviation in the computation of the oV and the corresponding control action. The robustness of the control is determined in such conditions. A control law is determined to guarantee proper control action under variations in the governing equations of the system.
This control law is represented by a simple algebraic equation, which can then be cast in various control strategies, such as look-up tables or fuzzy logic controllers. Several cases are simulated to assess the performance of the proposed control law for the hardware redundancy scheme, for the ANN-based equivalent software implementation approach, and for the additional fuzzy logic controller. The simulation results are analyzed concerning the requested oV and give insight into the performance and reliability of the proposed dedicated ECU design.

Published: September 2024

In the world of computing and networking, it is critical to understand the theoretical framework that underlies data communication to ensure the best performance and compatibility between various systems. Both the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) and Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) models offer a comprehensive perspective on how the entire communication operation is separated into various layers, with each layer assigned particular roles and functions. This paper compares the OSI and TCP/IP models in terms of the functionalities and responsibilities of the various layers in each model, with an emphasis on how these layers work together to ensure effective and robust network communications. The paper covers encapsulating and decapsulating processes, managing sessions, and ensuring reliable data transmission. The TCP/IP model focuses on practical application with four main layers, while the OSI model has seven detailed layers that provide a theoretical and structured approach. The goal of both models is reliable and standardized communication, which in turn promotes interoperability in a variety of network environments.

Reymontowski gotycyzm nowoczesności w Ziemi obiecanej
Authors: Łowczanin Agnieszka
Published: September 2024

Celem artykułu jest odczytanie powieści Władysława St. Reymonta Ziemia obiecana z perspektywy tradycji powieści gotyckich, których tropy były w dziewiętnastym wieku wykorzystywane przez angielskich pisarzy i teoretyków do opisu społecznych konsekwencji rewolucji przemysłowej. W artykule dowodzę, że spójna literacka wizja gotycyzmu nowoczesności stworzona przez Reymonta może być odczytana z perspektywy heterotopii dewiacyjnej Foucaulta, którą pisarz buduje poprzez wielowarstwową gotycyzację przestrzeni przemysłowej Łodzi.
Obraz Łodzi w wybranych utworach literackich rosyjskojęzycznej prasy łódzkiej
Authors: Warda Anna
Published: September 2024

W artykule omówiono obraz Łodzi, jaki został przedstawiony w dwóch parodystycznych poematach rosyjskiego autora N.G. Kuzmicza: Mój wujek i Demon, które ukazały się w rosyjskojęzycznej gazecie łódzkiej „Łodzinskij Listok” w ostatnich latach XIX wieku. Oba te utwory są remake’ami rosyjskiej dziewiętnastowiecznej klasyki – dwóch poematów znakomitych rosyjskich romantyków: Aleksandra Puszkina Eugeniusz Oniegin i Michała Lermontowa Demon. Autor osadza znanych z wybitnych dzieł, wybranych przez niego pierwszoplanowych i epizodycznych bohaterów w rozwijającej się, przemysłowej Łodzi końca XIX stulecia. W artykule zastosowane zostały następujące metody badawcze: analityczna, konfrontatywna, kulturowo-historyczna, intertekstualna. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań przedstawiono obraz rozwijającego się przemysłowego miasta – Łodzi i ludzi tworzących jej elity finansowe. Wykorzystanie przez Kuzmicza utworów klasyków rosyjskich pozwoliło uwypuklić różnice pomiędzy romantycznymi bohaterami i konsumpcjonizmem wykreowanych przez niego postaci typowych dla ówczesnej Łodzi. Omówione w artykule utwory łączące rosyjską klasykę z obrazem rozwijającej się Łodzi przełomu wieków są niewątpliwie ciekawymi przykładami „tekstu łódzkiego”, napisanymi przez rosyjskojęzycznego mieszkańca tego wielokulturowego miasta w końcu dziewiętnastego stulecia.
Śmiech XIX stulecia – garść refleksji na temat zakresu pojęcia i stanu badań
Authors: Kita Jarosław , Korybut-Marciniak Maria
Published: September 2024

W pierwszym odczuciu wydawać by się mogło, iż w XIX w. Polacy pozbawieni własnej państwowości, przeżywający klęski kolejnych powstań narodowych i traumę z tym związaną, mogli być dalecy od poczucia humoru. Emocjonalny odbiór epoki przywodzi raczej skojarzenia z obrazami cierpienia, niezgody, buntu, smutku i tęsknoty. A jednak Polacy w okresie budowania swojej tożsamości narodowej, dynamicznie zmieniającej się rzeczywistości pod wpływem przemian społecznych, cywilizacyjnych, modernizacyjnych, gospodarczych i demograficznych nie wyzbyli się poczucia humoru. Właśnie humor, umiejętność prowadzenia dowcipnych konwersacji i zabawne riposty były cenioną cechą mieszkańców ziem polskich. Humor i satyra pozwalały na oswojenie trudnej rzeczywistości i nieraz przybierały formę oporu wobec autorytarnych systemów władz zaborczych. Śmiech stanowił narzędzie wyrażające cały wachlarz emocji: od radości i akceptacji po ironię, kpinę, szyderstwo i negację. Był to ważny i ceniony komponent „towarzyskości”, czyli obcowania ze sobą ludzi w XIX-wiecznej codzienności.
Autorzy artykułów zamieszczonych w niniejszym zbiorze dowodzą właśnie, że XIX w. nie był pozbawiony humoru. Starają się poszukiwać odpowiedzi na pytanie, jaki był śmiech stulecia? Rozważania zawarte na kartach książki wskazują, że był to przede wszystkim śmiech podtrzymujący na duchu, terapeutyczny, kompensacyjny, markujący ból, śmiech oswajający to, co obce, zagrażające, trudne do przyjęcia. Z pewnością tom jest zaledwie ułamkiem w odkrywaniu „uśmiechniętego oblicza epoki”, ale powinien zadziałać inspirująco na badaczy społeczeństwa polskiego pod zaborami.
Lwowski humor drobnomieszczański na przykładzie czasopisma „Goniec i Iskra” oraz „Wesołego Kurjerka”
Authors: Fałat Piotr
Published: September 2024

„Wesoły Kurjerek” to humorystyczny dodatek do czasopisma „Goniec i Iskry”, który ukazywał się we Lwowie od 1 lipca 1893 do sierpnia 1899 r. Zmieniał kilkakrotnie tytuł m.in. na: „Wesoły Kurjerek Illustrowany” czy „Wesoły Kurjerek dla Wszystkich”. Drobnomieszczański dowcip „Wesołego Kurjerka” przedstawiany był w formie dialogów, wierszy lub szarad o żartobliwym charakterze. Dotyczył głównie spraw miłosnych, rodzinnych oraz ekonomiczno- -bytowych. Celem tekstu jest odtworzenie zagadnień, z których śmiano się pod koniec XIX w. we Lwowie. Zbadanie szczegółowej tematyki żartów poruszanych na łamach „Wesołego Kurierka” pozwoli na wskazanie obszarów najbardziej interesujących odbiorców czasopisma. Analizie poddany zostanie także aspekt typograficzny i graficzny czasopisma, w celu sprawdzenia, w jakim stopniu te elementy służyły podkreśleniu żartobliwego charakteru treści zamieszczanych w periodyku. Opracowanie uzupełnia lukę badawczą w zakresie XIX-wiecznych czasopism satyryczno-humorystycznych i otwiera pole do dalszej dyskusji.
Śmiechem w narodowe smutki. Na marginesie lektury polskich pism satyrycznych wydawanych we Lwowie w II połowie XIX wieku
Authors: Załęczny Jolanta
Published: September 2024

Wiek XIX był okresem intensyfikacji działań niepodległościowych, zakończonych – niestety – klęskami. Nasilona rusyfikacja i germanizacja oraz represje władz zaborczych miały złamać Polaków. Antidotum na narodowe smutki stał się humor, którego przejawy znaleźć można na łamach prasy. Wychodzące w Galicji tytuły prasowe ukazywały szerokie spektrum tematów oraz sposobów przekazu. Lektura wybranych pism satyrycznych daje odpowiedź na pytanie, z czego śmiali się Polacy w drugiej połowie XIX w.
„Śmialiśmy się nieźle…”. Śmiech, humor i kpina Wielkiej Emigracji w Anglii
Authors: Marchlewicz Krzysztof
Published: September 2024

Emigracja polityczna raczej nie sprzyja wesołości, pogodzie ducha i żartom. Jednak uchodźcy, jak każdy, odczuwają potrzebę śmiechu i radości, i bardzo często są one najlepszą odskocznią od emigracyjnego smutku. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia, co i w jakich okolicznościach śmieszyło polskich uchodźców politycznych, którzy znaleźli schronienie w wiktoriańskiej Wielkiej Brytanii. Często manifestowali oni swoje poczucie humoru podczas sporów politycznych i w prześmiewczy sposób przedstawiali zarówno rosyjski carat, jak i swoich przeciwników. Oswajali nieznane brytyjskie środowisko i odreagowywali własny kompleks niższości żartując z brytyjskich gospodarzy. Męska samotność emigrantów sprawiała, że jednym z ulubionych wątków żartów i kpin były dla nich relacje damsko-męskie. Życie codzienne dostarczało im również wielu okazji do niekoniecznie złośliwego śmiechu. Śmiano się z samych siebie, własnych słabości, niezdrowych ambicji i zabawnych nieporozumień. Zachowane źródła archiwalne wskazują, że wielu emigrantów nie zatraciło poczucia humoru i chętnie wyrażało je w różnych formach, mimo trudów emigracyjnej egzystencji.
Janowe poczucie humoru – uśmiechnięte oblicze Jana Matejki
Authors: Kłak-Ambrożkiewicz Marta
Published: September 2024

Jan Matejko (1838–1893) był przede wszystkim malarzem a jego działalność artystyczna skupiona była wokół zainteresowań historycznych, pasji badawczej, poznawania reliktów przeszłości i ochrony ich przed zniszczeniem. Zainteresowania te rozwijał równolegle z talentem. Wiele podróżował, zwiedzał muzea i zabytki, przeprowadzał wnikliwe studia historyczne i etnograficzne. Był też inny Matejko – człowiek, pełen emocji, refleksji, poczucia humoru, autoironii i dystansu. W swojej twórczości nie unikał prac aluzyjnych, często pikantnych, związanych z przeszłością Polski. W pracy przedstawione zostały dzieła, a także okazjonalne rysunki satyryczne, które pokazują Matejkę pełnego humoru i dystansu do siebie. Artysta ukazany został w świetle zachowanych prac satyrycznych, źródeł epistolograficznych, pamiętnikarskich, dziennika prowadzonego przez sekretarza Matejki.

Published: September 2024

Teachers must utilize the pedagogical potential of the various gamification technologies that can support learning achievement when derived from the ARCS motivational paradigm. The goal of the current pre-experimental study is to determine how students' ARCS motivation is affected when gamified online resources are used. There was a population of 457 Peruvian secondary school students, and a statistical sample of a probabilistic nature, made up of 209 students. The Motivation Survey on Didactic Materials (IMMS) was used as an instrument, based on the ARCS motivational model approach; with the dimensions of attention, relevance, trust, and satisfaction, this instrument was adapted and validated. After the intervention, it was found that the majority of students managed to reach a high motivational level in the post-test. In addition, positive results were found in all dimensions of the ARCS motivational design because they all reached an increase in their levels. However, the satisfaction and relevance dimensions achieved further development, reaching a high level.

Immunopathogenesis of dengue virus and Salmonella typhi coinfection
Authors: Nugraheni Enny , Sudiro Tjahjani Mirawati , Nainggolan Leonard , Fithriyah  , Dewi Beti Ernawati
Published: September 2024

Typhoid, malaria, leptospirosis, dengue virus (DENV), and other arboviruses are endemic in Indonesia. Therefore, it is more likely that DENV and other infectious diseases could be coinfected. More severe symptoms, delayed identification, and ineffective treatment of the illness can all result from Salmonella typhi coinfection. To serve as a principle for clinicians’ considerations while diagnosing and prescribing, we aim to examine the immunopathogenesis of dengue associated with Salmonella typhi coinfection. Dengue virus has the potential to increase both susceptibility and incidence of this coinfection, leading to dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) with more severe clinical symptoms. This is explained by regulating impact of coinfection in the presence of gram-negative membrane endotoxin, DENV replication, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). If Salmonella typhi coinfection is not treated promptly, both dengue and Salmonella typhi can affect several organs and result in significant morbidity and death. Dengue and typhoid immunopathogenesis coinfection are unclear. When dengue monoinfection compared with Salmonella dengue dual infections are related to higher fatality and morbidity rates.

This work presents a novel compact CMOS potentiostat designed circuit for electrochemical cell. The proposed topology functions as a circuit interface, controlling the polarization of voltage signals at the sensor electrodes and facilitating current measurement during the oxidation-reduction process of a analyzed solution. The potentiostat, designed for CMOS technology, comprises a two-stage amplifier, two current mirror blocks coupled to this amplifier, and a CMOS push-pull output stage. It employs the electrochemical method of cyclic voltammetry, operating within voltage range of ±0.8 V and scan rates of 10mV/s, 25mV/s, 100mV/s and 250 mV/s. The circuit is capable of reading currents ranging from 10 µA to 500 µA. Experimental results were obtained using a potassium ferrocyanide (K3(FeCN)6) redox solution with concentrations of 10, 15 and 20 mmol/L, and their corresponding voltammograms were evaluated. The experimental results from a discrete circuit demonstrate that the proposed potentiostat topology produces outcomes consistent with those of classical topologies presented in the literature and industrial equipment.
New Method to Obtaining the Final Elements of Hyper-Spectral Images

Hyper-spectral imaging provides the possibility of describing specific characteristics of materials in air, land and water depending on reflections of each material in a specific zone of the electromagnetic spectrum. Hyper-spectral sensors capture images in continuous and narrow spectral bands in the visible, near-infrared, and mid-infrared spectral regions.
These sensors look at objects using a large part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Some objects have unique characteristics in certain electromagnetic spectrums. These spectral signatures, known as "spectral signatures," help to identify materials in images. But the main problem with these sensors is that the images they get in bad weather conditions and in the presence of dust or rain or snow are of very poor quality. Therefore, we go to SAR images, which are able to form a high-resolution image even in bad weather conditions.
The method proposed in this paper is to obtain the final elements of hyper-spectral images using the decomposition method into a multilayer negative matrix. The reason for using this method is that, unlike the high-spectral images that form the image in a number of high-traffic zones, we can create the image in 8 different frequencies, so the most important thing is to get all the hidden information at those frequencies.
And also, we compare between the RDA, SENMAV, OMP, ISMA and ADMM algorithms.

Authors: Saragea Paula Denisa , Tudose Cristian
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Situated within the broad spectrum of lymphoproliferative diseases, Hodgkin (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) are neoplasms renowned for their complexity and heterogeneity, insidious onset, and frequent detectability at advanced, even terminal, stages worldwide.Objectives: The study aimed to compile conclusive statistics, identify genetic factors, and establish correlations with environmental carcinogens, while simultaneously highlighting the importance of developing preventive informational programs for the population.Materials and Methods: The retrospective study encompassed individuals admitted to the Hematology Clinic of "Sfântul Spiridon" Hospital in Iași between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2019. Out of 1916 patients hospitalized with hematologic neoplasms, 392 were diagnosed with lymphoma. Eighty-four cases exhibiting genetic predisposition (21.42%) were selected, among which 20 displayed a heightened genetic burden (5.1%). These cases were thoroughly analyzed based on medical records.Results and discussion: The study underscores/highlights/emphasizes the significant position of malignant lymphomas among hematologic neoplasms (20.45%). Although the majority do not present malignant heredocolateral antecedents(78.58%), with an estimated empirical recurrence risk(2-4%), predisposing diseases, along with exposure to environmental carcinogens, as well as the region of residence, play fundamental roles in the determinism. It is observed that older individuals from urban agglomerations, especially males (54-70%), have a higher probability of developing these conditions and are therefore recommended to undergo regular check-ups.Conclusion: Unequivocally characterized by a vast etiology, multifactorial diseases result from the bilateral interaction between environmental and hereditary factors.

Published: September 2024

Face recognition is a key computer vision task that focuses on identifying or verifying individuals using their facial features. This task becomes more difficult with low-resolution images, where the reduced pixel count and detail make it harder to extract and match features accurately. In this study, we assess the effectiveness of Multilinear Side-Information-based Discriminant Analysis (MSIDA) on low-resolution images, using the CelebA database as a reference. The system showed strong performance, achieving 90.60% accuracy on high-resolution and 88.23% on low-resolution images, highlighting the robustness and effectiveness of MSIDA.
Evaluating Changes in the Local Protein Physicochemical Environment induced by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Authors: Wang Chuyi , Mahmood Khalid , Park Daniel
Published: September 2024

Mutation of a single amino acid residue may significantly affect the structure and function of an entire protein. The effect of single amino acid substitutions can be assessed by examining the physicochemical environment surrounding the amino acid of interest, an emerging form of quantification of which is multidimensional tensors. However, the effect with respect to a protein variant’s inherent dynamics in tensor space is rarely assessed despite the potential importance of this form of analysis in revealing local physicochemical properties of the protein and response to mutation. Using the wild-type and 936 mutant structures of the protein domain 1pga, the present research evaluated the effects of local protein context and single amino acid substitutions on molecular dynamics simulation-derived structural distributions via the use of tensors capturing a range of biochemical properties. It was observed that the extent of simulated physicochemical variation local to a substituted amino acid is positively associated with local mechanical stiffness, loss of protein thermostability and decreased local hydrophobicity. In addition, it was observed that the largest tensor variation occurs in densely-packed, hydrophobic core-associated regions of protein structures. In summary, the pattern of tensor change aligns with prior knowledge about protein stability and physicochemical properties.

Pertussis remains an urgent problem of infectious pathology. Every year there is an increase in the incidence of pertussis worldwide, which can be explained by weakening of postvaccinal immunity in older children and adults. In recent years, clinical and laboratory hypodiagnosis of pertussis has been observed, which may be due to low vigilance and ignorance of physicians, dissociation and lack of continuity between pediatricians and therapists, incorrect diagnosis, late referral of patients to a doctor and the development of atypical forms of the disease. Vaccine prophylaxis is currently the main measure to control the spread of pertussis. The article presents a clinical observation of pertussis course in an adult patient, the path of diagnostic search and tactics of management of such a patient.
