Between Submission and Subversion: Buryat Buddhism and the State

This article explores the relationship between Buddhism and the state in Buryatia, historically and today. Buryatia is a multi-ethnic, multi-religious republic in the Russian Federation. It is argued in this paper that the case of Buryatia shows how the state and religion not only exert a mutual influence on each other, but their entanglement runs deeper. The article argues that these spheres shape each other, at times competing, and at other times coexisting in synergy. This detailed exploration of Buryat Buddhism, historically and today, aims to contribute to our understanding of Buddhism and the state, and also to our understanding of contemporary Russia.

Key words: Buryat Buddhism, Buddhism and the state, Buryatia, Russia, religion.
Impactos das grandes cheias do rio Mondego na região de Coimbra - uma resenha histórica
Authors: Pardal João , Cunha Lúcio , Oliveira Tavares Alexandre , Pinto Santos Pedro , Leitão Luís
Published: March 2022

A partir de bases documentais históricas e registos hidrométricos foram estudadas 296 cheias, para o intervalo de tempo entre 1200 a 2021. Destas cheias, 32 foram classificadas de catastróficas e 60 de extraordinárias, que ocorreram, particularmente, no Inverno (dezembro a fevereiro). Estas cheias causaram impactos negativos muito significativos nos sistemas sociais, económicos e ambientais, nomeadamente com perda de vidas humanas, isolamento das populações, situações de insalubridade e doença, perdas agrícolas e na pecuária, destruição de infraestruturas hidráulicas e vias de comunicação, habitações, igrejas, conventos e comércio. Os registos históricos reportam inclusivamente vários períodos de fome em Coimbra e nas localidades ribeirinhas. Embora a maioria das cheias com impactos excecionalmente elevados tenham ocorrido em regime fluvial pristino, em virtude do maior intervalo de tempo coberto, os registos históricos e hidrométricos mostram que continuam a verificarem-se cheias excecionais e muito danosas no período pós projeto de aproveitamento hidroelétrico e hidroagrícola, como o testemunham as cheias de 2001 e 2019. Assumindo que eventos desta natureza poderão ocorrer no futuro, verifica-se a necessidade de adaptar o atual sistema de gestão da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Mondego a esta realidade, de forma a mitigar os eventuais danos e prejuízos.

Authors: Bertocco Tamires , de Figueiredo Tomás , Fonseca Felícia
Published: March 2022

Os lameiros exercem um papel de influência na regulação do ciclo hidrológico em pequenas bacias de drenagem em zonas de montanha. No Parque Natural de Montesinho (PNM), os lameiros estão em regressão de uso devido ao abandono da terra, principalmente por se situarem em zonas com alto declínio demográfico. Nestas condições, através do método SCS (Soil Conservation Service), estimaram-se caudais de ponta em dezasseis bacias hidrográficas ocupadas parcialmente por lameiros no PNM, sendo possível identificar diferenças significativas entre categorias de bacias associadas a presença ou não de rio próximo aos lameiros, bem como ao uso e abandono de terra. Além disso, baseando-se em previsões de precipitação, no contexto de alterações climáticas, simulou-se um aumento de até 86% de nos caudais de ponta até o ano de 2100. À vista das respostas hidrológicas obtidas, percebeu-se o impacto do processo de abandono dos lameiros, principalmente nos caudais de ponta, trazendo efeitos negativos e riscos hidrológicos através da falta ou inadequação do manejo dessas zonas
Constant Resistant at Different Speeds while Pushing a Sled Prompts Different Adaptations in Neuromuscular Timing on Back and Lower Limb Muscles
Authors: G. Rosario Martin , Keitel Kelly , Meyer Josey , Weber Mark
Published: March 2022

Resistance training (RT) is commonly used to target specific weakened muscle groups. Among the plethora of methods employed as RT, the current study focused on a sled that provides constant resistance proportional to speed. This study aimed to examine neuromuscular patterns of the lower extremity and trunk muscles in response to pushing a sled with constant resistance at two different speeds. Twenty-six young adults (average age, 23.8) participated in this study. Surface electromyography electrodes were placed on gluteus maximus (GMAX), gluteus medius (GMED), tibialis anterior (TA), gastrocnemius (GA), and erector spinae (lumbar and thoracic) of their dominant leg or side (unilateral at the same side as the dominant lower limb). Neuromuscular timing was collected during four tasks: walking, running, walking-pushing the sled (WP), and running-pushing the sled (RP). All gait activities were repeated twice, with self-selected speed and an equivalent distance of 40 feet. A MANOVA analysis showed that during WP, GMED and GMAX showed more neuromuscular recruitment than leg and trunk muscles when compared to walking. During RP, the thoracic musculature was significantly more involved than any other muscle during running. Based on our findings, we recommend that physiotherapists and trainers use this sled with constant resistance during walking in patients with pelvic or hip weakness. Further, we suggested utilizing the sled in subjects requiring mid-trunk activation at faster speeds, such as fast walking or running.
Endothelial dysfunction of women before and after correction of body composition

Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of endothelial dysfunction of women with different types of obesity before and after correction of body composition. The article is devoted to the peculiarities of endothelial dysfunction in women with different types of obesity before and after correction of body composition. Obesity as a polygenic disease is a progressive problem of society. Numerous studies of recent decades have been devoted to the influence of excessive weight on human health, which indicate that obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, characterized by high mortality. The degree of cardiovascular risk in obesity depends on the distribution of adipose tissue, and hence on the normal functioning of the endothelium, since endothelial dysfunction is one of the first triggers of cardiovascular disease. The author noted that endothelial function is the most important component of homeostasis, it allows controlling the state of the vascular bed and providing blood supply to the organs both under physiological conditions and under the influence of pathologic factors. Scientific studies have shown the need of studying the functions of the endothelium in different categories of patients, women in particular. Endothelial dysfunction has been identified as an early marker of the development and progression of cardiovascular disease and beside that, obesity as a chronic inflammatory condition also provokes dysregulation of vascular homeostasis and leads to impaired vasodilatory function of the endothelium. It has been found that the degree of cardiovascular risk in obesity depends on the distribution of adipose tissue, and therefore on the normal functioning of the endothelium. The dysfunction of endothelium is one of the first steps in the development of cardiovascular disease. The necessity of amplification a body composition program for women with different degrees of obesity has been proved. An analysis of endothelial function before and after the program of correction of body composition was done. The results of analysis proved that dosed exercise and a transition to a healthy diet have been shown an improvement of the endothelial function and the reduction of both total adipose tissue and visceral fat.

Keywords: endothelial dysfunction, obesity, body fat composition, physical training, healthy diet.

Authors: YÜCEL Erol , EROL Serpil
Published: March 2022

This research focused on higher education graduates in Germany and Turkey on all fields of education, especially engineering programs in terms of all education levels and gender. The study has provided situational awareness in general on all fields of education, levels of education and gender, but on the “Engineering, manufacturing and construction” field in detail. In the research, many important findings are identified. Turkey’s ED7 (Master’s or equivalent level) and ED8 (Doctoral or equivalent level) graduate numbers and ratios are significantly lower than Germany when compared to the ED6 level. The research also revealed us that the graduation ratios of ED6 (Bachelor’s or equivalent level) and ED7 among female engineers in Germany are close to each other, indicating that female engineers in Germany are more likely to hold a master's degree after undergraduate education. Among these findings, the most important finding is; while the gender ratio of higher education graduates in Germany at all education levels is almost equal between male and female students, this ratio has started to increase in favor of female graduates in Turkey. This situation developed differently among graduates of engineering programs. While engineering graduates in Germany had a fixed ratio of approximately 80.5% male and 19.5% female graduates between 2014 and 2019. In Turkey, this ratio is improving in favor of female graduates from 32.8% in 2014 to 34.9% in 2019. In this research, it is concluded that the higher education intelligence needs to be top priority for higher education officials.

Authors: Fidiastuti Hasminar Rachman , Sasongko Pramono , Widodo Herru Prasetya
Published: March 2022

COVID-19 menjadi pandemi global dalam kurun waktu satu tahun terakhir. Di akhir tahun 2020, dunia telah mencatat penemuan baru dalam strategi penanganan dan penyebarluasan COVID-19 melalui teknologi vaksin. Setidaknya terdapat 7 jenis vaksin yang diperkenalkan di Indonesia. Vaksin COVID-19 tidak begitu saja dapat diterima oleh masyarakat penggunaannya. Cepat dan bebasnya aliran informasi menyebabkan munculnya stigma negatif terhadap vaksin COVID-19. Stigma negatif berpotensi menghambat proses pelaksanaan vaksinasi di masyarakat oleh karena itu proses sosialisasi untuk menghilangkan stigma negatif vaksin COVID-19 memiliki tingkat urgensi tinggi untuk dilakukan karena secara tidak langsung mempengaruhi keberhasilan terbentuknya herd immunity. Mahasiswa merupakan kelompok besar yang tersebar di hampir seluruh level masyarakat sehingga merupakan salah satu kunci untuk menjadi sasaran mitra kegiatan. Melalui media podcast, yaitu berkas digital audiovisual non-streaming yang sangat familiar bagi mahasiswa diharapkan dapat memberikan media sosialisasi yang menarik dan mudah dipahami. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan podcast yang merupakan alternatif dalam pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat secara efektif tapi tetap dalam koridor protokol kesehatan COVID-19 yang membatasi proses pertemuan tatap muka secara massal. Media podcast pada akhir kegiatan dapat menghasilkan tingkat penerimaan vaksin hingga 91%. Tingkat kepercayaan responden terhadap keamanan vaksin COVID-19 setelah mengunduh podcast adalah 94% merasa vaksin aman.

Published: March 2022

In this study, the effectiveness of mango polyphenol (MPP) powder in seawater pH 7.4 as a natural treatment on the mechanical properties of unidirectional full culm bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper) was investigated. Our observations are explained through the changes in MPP percentage of 5, 10, and 20 of the raw material upon treatment, where the 10% amount of MPP are dominant in compressive strength with 43.83 MPa at the top part (nodal), 10% amount of MPP in compressive strength with 47.13 MPa at the middle part (non-nodal), and 5% in flexural strength with 43.07 MPa at the top part. The treatment process combining sea-water absorption plus mango polyphenol powder is more effective in improving mechanical properties with MPP variations than using them alone. Finally, materials identified as having favorable effects on full bamboo culm.
Pola Pikir Masyarakat Dalam Mengakses Fasilitas Sebagai Pembentuk Sistem Sosial Ekologi Pada Kota Baru Mandiri (Studi Kasus: Bukit Semarang Baru Mijen)
Authors: Ariani Nofa Martina , Priambudi Bagus Nuari , Wijaya Muhammad Indra Hadi , Puspasari Deny Aditya
Published: March 2022

Kota baru mandiri merupakan konsep untuk mengendalikan pertumbuhan lahan terbangun sekaligus sebagai pengendali pergerakan masyarakat. Letak kawasan permukiman yang tersebar dalam sebuah kota dan fasilitas yang tidak terintegrasi menyebabkan banyak masyarakat yang membutuhkan perjalanan jauh untuk mengaksesnya, yang akhirnya berdampak pada kemacetan, polusi, dan sebagainya. Bukit Semarang Baru adalah sebuah kota baru mandiri yang dikembangkan mulai tahun 1997 di Kota Semarang untuk membuat masyarakat lebih efektif dan efisien dalam menjalankan segala aktivitasnya mulai dari bekerja, sekolah, berbelanja, sampai menghabiskan waktu luang mereka. Namun, tantangan dalam pengembangan kota baru ini adalah pola pikir masyarakat untuk mengakses fasilitas yang ada. Fasilitas yang ada di pusat Kota Semarang tidak dipungkiri menjadi daya tarik besar bagi warga Kota Semarang, sehingga masih banyak masyarakat Kawasan BSB yang mengakses fasilitas tidak di dalam lingkungan BSB dan masih mengakses sampai pusat kota. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan penelitian yang telah dilakukan sebelumnya, dimana hasil studi membuktikan bahwa lebih dari 60% masyarakat mengakses fasilitas untuk bekerja, sekolah dan rekreasi di luar kawasan BSB. Studi ini yang merupakan studi lanjutan akan mengkaji bagaimana pola pikir masyarakat Kawasan BSB dalam mengakses fasilitas, terutama fasilitas yang berada di luar Kawasan BSB. Aktivitas yang akan dikaji adalah aktivitas bekerja, sekolah, belanja dan rekreasi. Konsep pola pikir tersebut nantinya akan membentuk sistem sosial ekologi masyarakat dalam mengakses fasilitas. Metode penelitian yang akan digunakan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif berdasarkan kuesioner yang disebar. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat alasan mendasar mengapa mereka lebih memilih fasilitas di luar kawasan BSB seperti mutu sekolah, suasana tempat rekreasi, lokasi belanja yang lengkap dan lokasi bekerja yang telah lebih dulu ditentukan sebelum menghuni BSB. Diharapkan dengan penelitian ini dapat menjadi input dalam mengembangkan kota baru lainnya di Indonesia..

Published: March 2022

We have fabricated blend films comprising 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS pentacene) as a semiconducting small molecule and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as an insulating polymer by electrostatic spray deposition (ESD). A thin film (5 nm) of molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) was evaporated on the entirety of the active layer surface. Then, we found that the off-state current in OFETs using the TIPS pentacene/PMMA blend films apparently increased. This result probably indicates the formation of a conductive surface channel due to the MoO3 deposition. In this study, we performed morphological and chemical analyzes. In consequence, we found that only Mo atoms (not together with O atoms) penetrated into TIPS pentacene and oxidation of Mo to MoO
x
could enhance charge transfer between neighboring TIPS pentacene molecules. Furthermore, this study demonstrated that the off-state current could be modulated by changing the ambient condition, such as relative humidity.

Published: March 2022

We have studied the impact of Ge substrate heating during ∼25 nm thick Al deposition and post annealing in N2 ambient on the surface flatness of an Al/Ge(111) structure, the crystallographic structure of the deposited Al layer, and formation of a Ge segregated layer. Surface segregation of Ge atoms on a flat metal surface is an effective means of growing two-dimensional Ge crystals as well as an ultrathin Ge crystalline layer. The surface morphology of the Al/Ge(111) structure becomes flat by substrate heating during Al deposition. The crystallinity of the Al layer on Ge(111) can be improved by both substrate heating and post annealing. Ge segregation on a flat Al(111) surface also occurred by post annealing.

Published: March 2022

Worldwide, over 4 million babies die within a month of birth each year. Of these, 3.9 million are in developing countries. A proportion approximately 25% of these deaths are due to complications of premature birth, most commonly inadequate thermoregulation, water loss, and neonatal jaundice. An infant incubator provides stable temperature, relative humidity, and airflow values. A periodical calibration should be applied on infant incubator to monitor the functionality. The study aims to develop a calibration device that measures temperature, humidity, airflow, and noise in the baby incubator based on an Android application with Bluetooth communication to improve the calibration monitoring process. This is to achieve a better performance of the conventional INCU analyzer. The contribution of this research is that the values of the temperature, humidity, airflow, and noise can be displayed on both devices, the INCU analyzer machine, and mobile phone; thus, the user can monitor the measurement activities wirelessly. Furthermore, the statistical calculation for all measurements can be saved on a mobile phone device. The main design consists of temperature sensor LM35, humidity sensor DHT22, airflow sensor MPX5010DP, an analog signal conditioning circuit, an Arduino Mega microcontroller, Bluetooth module HC05, and Android mobile phone. The resulting design was compared to the standard or calibrator INCU analyzer machine (Fluke Biomedical INCU II). This study found that the smallest error is -1.72%°C, -0.106 % RH, -1.727% dB, and <0.1% m/s for temperature, humidity, noise, and airflow parameters, respectively. After the evaluation process, this device can be used as an INCU analyzer to calibrate the infant incubator.

Authors: Maghfiroh Anita Miftahul , Havilda Nina , Das Sima
Published: March 2022

Medical infusion device provides drugs or fluids directly through a blood vessel. However, the occurrence of occlusion in the infusion device causes the incoming drug fluid does not to flow constantly, and pressure is formed on the infusion tube. When an infusion device has been used for a long time, there will be a change in the precision of the flow and pressure values. Furthermore, a calibration process must be carried out at least once a year. This research aims to design an infusion device analyzer which able to show parameters in a graphic equipped with occlusion parameters and Bluetooth communication in real-time to the computer unit. This study uses a solenoid valve for pressure simulation. The allowable occlusion limit is <20 Psi. The SKU 237545 sensor detects the water pressure that is blocked by the solenoid valve. Then the data will be displayed on the Parallax data acquisitions using Bluetooth communication. The Parallax data acquisitions will display real-time occlusion data, data averages, instant values, and graphs. The results of the IDA design, when tested using the Syringe Pump TOP 5300, obtained an average of 0.68 Psi. Meanwhile, when the IDA design was tested using the Infusion Pump 3300, it brought 0.73 Psi. Furthermore, it showed that the occlusion parameter was compared with the Fluke IDA 4, a mean error was 0.7 Psi. Therefore, it can be concluded that this IDA design can be used for calibration to see the feasibility of an infusion pump or syringe pump.

Abstract Purpose: The designation of the Gunungsewu UNESCO Global Geopark has implications for the development of various tourism destinations. This article seeks to reveal how the development of the Gunungsewu geopark in Gunungkidul district as a tourism destination. Methods: This study uses a qualitative method. The data used were descriptive data, with in-depth analysis. Collecting samples through proportional sampling, the selection of samples depends on the purpose of the study without regard to the ability of a generalist. Results: The level of development of tourism destinations in mountain geoparks varies based on Butler's classification of tourism destination development. Determination of an area with unique geomorphology cannot simultaneously lift the entire area into a tourist destination. Limitation: This study focuses on developing a geosite seen as a tourism destination. This study emphasizes observing the development of tourism destinations using the “Tourism Area Life Cycle” approach proposed by Butler (1980). Contribution: This research is expected to benefit the development of tourism science and geoparks in Indonesia. Conclusion: Species diversity in the Protection Report Diary (in 2010) was higher compared to the total number of wildlife species sighted by visitors (in 2021) and during the patrol (in 2020) indicating that some wildlife species in LCC declined within 10 years.

Abstract Purpose: This study aims to predict the number of foreign tourists who come to Indonesia during the pandemic. Research Methodology: Forecasting using the Holt-Winters Multiplicative method and secondary data, namely the number of foreign tourists visiting Indonesia obtained from the website of the Central Statistics Agency. Results: Based on the forecast, in November and December 2021, the number of foreign tourists visiting Indonesia will increase because it coincides with the Christmas and New Year holidays. However, from January-October 2022, the visit rate continued to decline. The possibility of an increase in confirmed cases of COVID-19 due to the December forecast, namely the increased mobility of people to tourist destinations to spend the holiday, could be due to the global economic crisis due to COVID-19 cases. Limitations: The number of foreign tourist visits data on the Central Bureau of Statistics website is only available from early 2017 to October 2021. Contribution: Forecasting results can be used as a reference for the Indonesian government in formulating policies in anticipating the arrival of foreign tourists during the pandemic so that the recovery of the economic sector can be maximized.

Nel corso del 2020 una delle parole che hanno colpito l’interesse dei nostri lettori è stata condizionalità, voce che si suppone usata inutilmente al plurale in luogo di condizioni (“le condizionalità del MES”) e il cui impiego è stato interpretato come un ulteriore vezzo dei media e della politica in linea con la tendenza a preferire termini nuovi e dai contorni più vaghi di quelli usati comunemente: si pensi a tempistica o problematica in luogo di tempi e problemi. Molti hanno pensato a un nuovo probabile caso di “sudditanza” dell’italiano nei confronti dell’inglese come nel caso di tecnicalità.
CAMINHANDO E CONVERSANDO
Authors: STIEBEL LINDY
Published: March 2022

KwaZulu-Natal é uma província na costa oriental da África do Sul, culturalmente rica, que oferece uma ampla gama de escritores negros e brancos, masculinos e femininos, que escrevem principalmente em inglês e isiZulu, e que estão ligados a esta região através das suas vidas e das suas obras. Entre estes, e para mencionar apenas alguns, encontram-se Alan Paton, Roy Campbell, Lewis Nkosi, Sita Gandhi, Wilbur Smith, Daphne Rooke e Gcina Mhlophe. E qual a melhor maneira de entender um escritor do que conhecer os lugares a que está vinculado? Por exemplo, quem, depois de ler as frases líricas de abertura do famoso livro de Paton, Cry, the beloved country (1948) – “Há uma estrada encantadora que vai de Ixopo até às colinas. Estas colinas estão cobertas de erva e ondulam, e são lindas para além de qualquer forma de as cantar” – não quis ver esse cenário / essa paisagem na realidade? Os itinerários literários são uma forma de levar as pessoas a caminhar e falar sobre livros. Oito desses itinerários foram construídos em KwaZulu-Natal pelo projeto de investigação KZN Literary Tourism (www.literarytourism.co.za) e este artigo aborda o fenómeno do itinerário literário como uma parte proeminente do turismo literário, usando esses itinerários como exemplos do que pode ser feito para promover a “caminhada e a conversa” sobre livros. Na “Introdução” a McNulty & Stiebel (2017) encontra-se o enquadramento teórico bem como a ilustração prática do itinerário literário, tal como o entendemos neste trabalho. Esta é também uma maneira de refletir sobre as identidades históricas e contemporâneas num cenário cultural e político sul-africano em transformação.

O turismo é um fenômeno presente nas principais agendas de governos e tem servido para alavancar as economias mundiais e locais. Nesse âmbito, o segmento cultural ganha destaque e vem sendo capaz de conectar o turista com o sagrado, com a arte e outros elementos da cultura que visita. O presente estudo dialoga com esse contexto e apresenta reflexões acerca do planejamento turístico e da relação com o espaço turístico estabelecido no roteiro “Itinerário Cultural de Aldo Locatelli”. Localizado em Caxias do Sul, o roteiro consiste em uma oferta turística que percorre templos religiosos e edificações com expressivo patrimônio artístico, ligados aos acontecimentos da cristandade e da história da fundação do município, possibilitando ainda a visitação a outros atrativos ao longo do caminho. Dessa forma, busca-se analisar a importância do planejamento e do aspecto espacial na elaboração desse roteiro de turismo cultural, criado a partir do conjunto da obra do artista existente no município, configurando um potencial atrativo turístico-religioso e que visa contribuir para o desenvolvimento cultural e socioeconômico da comunidade local. Norteado metodologicamente por pesquisa bibliográfica, é um estudo desenvolvido no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Turismo e Hospitalidade – Mestrado, da Universidade de Caxias do Sul (UCS). A sustentação teórica é, principalmente, de autores da área do turismo, a exemplo de Bahl (2006), Boullón (2002), Dias (2003) e Hall (2004).
Blockchain for Energy Systems: Bridging Top-down and Bottom-up Management of the Electricity Grid

Point-of-view article.
Abstract: For more than a century, the grid has operated in a centralized top-down fashion. However, as the penetration

of the distributed energy resources (DERs) grows, the grid edge is increasingly infused with intelligent

computing and communication capabilities. Thus, the bottom-up approach to grid operations inclined

toward decentralization of energy systems will likely gain momentum alongside the existing centralized

paradigm. In this point of view article, we aim to highlight the need for and outline a credible path toward

restructuring the current operational architecture of the electricity grid in view of the ongoing decentralization

trends with an emphasis on peer-to-peer energy trading. We further suggest that blockchain is an

effective technology for facilitating the synergistic operations of top-down and bottom-up approaches to

grid management.
Review of Disentanglement Approaches for Medical Applications: Towards Solving the Gordian Knot of Generative Models in Healthcare

Deep neural networks are commonly used for medical purposes such as image generation, segmentation, or classification. Besides this, they are often criticized as black boxes as their decision process is often not human interpretable. Encouraging the latent representation of a generative model to be disentangled offers new perspectives of control and interpretability. Understanding the data generation process could help to create artificial medical data sets without violating patient privacy, synthesizing different data modalities, or discovering data generating characteristics. These characteristics might unravel novel relationships that can be related to genetic traits or patient outcomes. In this paper, we give a comprehensive overview of popular generative models, like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and Flow-based Models. Furthermore, we summarize the different notions of disentanglement, review approaches to disentangle latent space representations and metrics to evaluate the degree of disentanglement. After introducing the theoretical frameworks, we give an overview of recent medical applications and discuss the impact and importance of disentanglement approaches for medical applications.

Ternary and Binary Quantization for Efficient Exemplar-based Classification
Authors: lu weizhi , Chen Mingrui , guo kai , Li Weiyu
Published: March 2022

In the work, we study the exemplar-based classification method, which categorizes novel objects by comparing their similarity to the exemplars previously stored by class. The exemplar storage and similarity calculation will pose great challenges for large-scale classification. To reduce data complexity, we propose to first reduce data dimension by random projection and then quantize the projections to binary or ternary codes. Intuitively, the extreme quantization will degrade the accuracy of classification due to significant information loss. Interestingly, however, we observe that the quantization could provide comparable or even superior accuracy, if the data to be quantized are the sparse features generated with common filters. Furthermore, this quantization property could be preserved in the random projections of sparse features, if both the features and random projection matrices are sufficiently sparse. By conducting extensive experiments, we validate and analyze this intriguing property.

Small Forgotten Places in the Hearth of Cities
Authors: Laurìa Antonio , Vessella Luigi
Published: March 2022

This book is the result of a research project designed and carried out at the Department of Architecture, University of Florence. This book discusses urban public spaces and, more specifically, run-down, inactive micro-spaces that are barely used due to their location, dimensions, morphology or semantic characteristics. In literature, these spaces are often defined as “residual urban spaces.” A large abandoned industrial area on the outskirts of a town or a small interstitial space in a historical centre can be residual. With respect to such a broad subject matter, the book seeks to radically limit the field, concentrating on public residual spaces found in the oldest parts of cities. The book reflects on this theme and introduces a method for reading and assessment of the residuality of public spaces in historical contexts (Residuality Assessment Process) which was tested in the historical centre of Florence. It is the authors’ view that residual spaces, above all if designed according to a system logic, can go from being problems to potential activators of urban and social regeneration processes, offering a useful contribution to improve city life.
Emerging Trends in the Performance of Christian Religious Education in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education Examination
Authors: Mayende Godfrey Banda
Published: March 2022

This paper examined the emerging trends in the performance of Christian Religious Education (CRE) in the Kenya certificate of secondary school education examinations (KCSE). The main objective in this paper was to establish significant reasons that may have prompted the declining performance in the performance of this subject during national examinations in the recent past. The study involved both primary and secondary data which was skillfully analysed to generate the findings in this paper. Significantly, oral interviews (abbreviated as O.I in the entire text) from teachers of CRE in various schools across the country were conducted to beef up the findings in this paper. It is indeed true from the findings that CRE has been experiencing average or poor performance since 2016 after the introduction of the stringent mechanisms to curb the alleged national examination cheating that had been witnessed in the previous years. It has also been established that CRE is no longer a “booster” subject and the discipline may become unpopular in the near future should the status quo remain.
