Falas afro-negras no dialeto mineiro
Authors: Almeida Olívia
Published: August 2022

O intelectual mineiro Nelson Coelho de Senna (1876-1952) é conhecido por sua atuação política como parlamentar e por sua pesquisa etnográfica sobre a contribuição dos indígenas e dos negros africanos na formação do povo e da cultura brasileira. A mais extensa pesquisa – tanto no que se refere ao tamanho como ao tempo dedicado aos estudos – de Nelson de Senna sobre os afronegrismos é o Elucidário de africanismos: vocabulário de africanismos e afronegrismos usados no Brasil e na África colonial lusitana. Trata-se de documento salvaguardado no Arquivo Público da Cidade de Belo Horizonte, em parte manuscrito e em parte datiloscrito, datado de 1938, composto por verbetes que contemplam as letras de A a Z. Entretanto, acredita-se que o autor dedicou muitos anos à escrita desse Elucidário. A pesquisa de Nelson de Senna na área linguística é pouco conhecida em Minas Gerais, bem como no Brasil, e seus documentos guardados no Arquivo Público da Cidade de Belo Horizonte continuam inéditos. Assim, o estudo do Elucidário de africanismos representa uma preciosa fonte de pesquisa para linguistas e certamente contribuirá para o reconhecimento da presença africana no léxico e na cultura brasileira, principalmente a mineira.
Quilombismo editorial e ethos discursivo
Authors: De Oliveira Luiz Henrique Silva
Published: August 2022

A proposta deste artigo é analisar o discurso de apresentação contidos no site da Mazza Edições (https://www.mazzaedicoes.com.br). Para tanto, tomaremos duas categorias essenciais: o quilombismo e o ethos discursivo. Os quilombos, segundo Abdias do Nascimento não e resumiram apenas a arregimentações sociais, constituídas por pessoas escravizadas, em territórios de exploração colonial. A solidariedade e a resistência são características marcantes destes coletivos. Tais características amparam as práticas chamadas por Nascimento de quilombismo. O autor propõe entender o quilombismo como estratégia contemporânea de enfrentamento de diversas ordens promovida pelo coletivo afrodescendente diante das inúmeras formas de discriminação e racismo. O campo editorial, por sua vez, não fica imune às práticas excludentes. Vale ressaltar que Oliveira propõe a noção de “quilombos editoriais” para classificar as iniciativas responsáveis por grande parcela da produção e circulação intelectual afro-brasileira. Já o ethos discursivo, segundo Dominique Maingueneau, é construído em suas múltiplas relações com os outros (sujeitos e discursos) e como eles emergem na articulação entre variados elementos (verbais e não verbais, éticos e estéticos) os quais necessitam da incorporação do interlocutor para apreendê-los em um conjunto complexo de representações sociais e culturais. Acreditamos que a junção entre quilombismo e ethos oferece mecanismos que auxiliam na compreensão do processo de colocação no campo cultural das casas ou quilombos editoriais.
“Museus vivos das tradições humanas”
Authors: Santos Rita de Cássia Silva Dionísio , Ramos Flávia Brocchetto
Published: August 2022

Qual o tipo de conhecimento pode um conto popular transmitir? Pode o conto contribuir para a formação humana? Em “Nota preliminar” do livro Contribuição do folk-loro brazileiro para a bibliotheca infantil (1907), a escritora e folclorista mineira Alexina de Magalhães Pinto (1869–1921), nomeando os contos populares (quer sejam “de fadas, fabulosos ou bíblicos”) como “museus vivos das tradições humanas”, argumenta que essas narrativas conteriam papel “eminientemente educador”. Este artigo apresenta a autora, sua produção e, na sequência, analisa a “Historia (sic) de um cachorrinho”, que integra a coletânea supracitada, com o objetivo de se refletir sobre essa função educadora dos contos (de que nos fala a autora). Desta análise — de caráter metodológico bibliográfico e crítico-analítico — resulta o entendimento sobre a contribuição singular de Alexina de Magalhães Pinto para a história da literatura infantil brasileira, em seu sentido amplo. Esse legado é notável por seu empenho em realizar uma pesquisa etnográfica e histórica para compor obras a partir da tradição oral e do folclore brasileiro para servir às gerações futuras. O mérito dessa tarefa reside no fato de a autora ter se dedicado, naquele tempo, a um debate sobre a potência que a ficção detém de nos ensinar sobre a vida. É possível concluir, a partir desta análise, que as produções literárias e ficcionais, ao possibilitarem a fabulação, podem instruir e educar, entre outros aspectos, por seu caráter de transcender limites de tempos, modos e formas de representação das múltiplas e diversas experiências.

Programming at Arts Organizations as Community Response to COVID-19
Authors:   , Martin Julia L. , Yau Pamela , Zitcer Andrew
Published: August 2022

The objective of this study was to investigate and identify the strategies used by arts organizations in response to the challenges and regulations introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States of America. The study also examined the programs and operations that were affected by COVID-19 safety regulations, what struggles arts organizations encountered while adjusting to those regulations, and what made operations successful, or not? What public needs were programs created to address, and what programs will be offered in the future because of the innovations coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic? To conduct this research, The Eckert Art Gallery, The GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, and the Demuth Museum were contacted to dissect their organizational responses to the COVID-19 public health crisis. Examining different types of organizations allowed for a better understanding of how the arts and their audiences were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Academic literature, along with timely articles and reports, were utilized to contextualize current and previously existing trends in educational and programmatic standards, virtual learning strategies and challenges, COVID-19 regulations, and their effects on the arts in the United States, and strategies for community engagement. A multiple case study was conducted to analyze the experiences of arts professionals in the adaptation of their public programs. This multiple case study found that arts organizations were filling the gaps in both educational and social opportunities. Referencing audience response and comparing participation numbers throughout the development process of was a way in which organizations kept track of the relative success of their programs. Throughout the course of the pandemic, these organizations have had to consistently revise and re-plan their operations. Transferring programs to fully virtual settings was the initial response to mandated shuttering of brick-and-mortar sites, but as the pandemic progressed audiences were not as responsive to online options especially when businesses were allowed to open their on-site operations once again. The opening and closing of physical spaces was a constant factor to consider as mandates were repeatedly tightened and relaxed. In response, arts organizations redirected their efforts to design hybrid programs that mixed both in-person experiences with virtual opportunities. Throughout this touch and go process, organizations formed many partnerships and received funding from local and government bodies in the form of grants and contributions. In general, businesses, artists, educators, and other arts entities were willing to work together to support each other in the organizational navigation of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States of America.
Amateurism as a Narrative of Control
Authors: Canada Tracie , Pericak Kaitlin , Seward Miray D.
Published: August 2022

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) uses amateurism as a narrative to control college athletes, which affects how scholars conduct research with these athletes. This article speaks to issues that arise among qualitative researchers at different institutions when universities control access to athletes under the guise of the ‘amateurism’ narrative. Drawing on Bourdieu, we provide insight into the habitus of athletics departments through vignettes from each of the authors to highlight issues of access to the collegiate athlete population. We simultaneously speak against amateurism as a controlling narrative and argue that there is a need for more immersive research among college athletes to better understand athlete lived experiences within these institutions. From our different disciplinary perspectives, we offer three solutions to this issue that involve the integration of qualitative researchers and practitioners to inform programming that directly impacts the athletes on college campuses across the country.
The Winds of NCAA Change
Authors: Kaburakis Anastasios
Published: August 2022

Amidst an unprecedented change in college athletics governance, researchers and practitioners are called to figure out the what, why, and how of the future for intercollegiate athletics. The timing of this special issue of the Sports Innovation Journal came impeccably aligned with a wave of dramatic policy and governance shifts. From the time of manuscript submissions to acceptances, to the time of publishing this special issue online, there are even more changes and rapid developments. What felt like consistent waves of change during the time of our call for papers in 2021 now feels more like a tsunami overtaking what we knew as contemporary college sport. But in this sea of change, some constants remain: student-athletes trying to balance education and top-notch competition. The gears of the college sports enterprise may be governed differently, but their fundamentals remain quite consistent. Hence, this special issue on college athletics governance addresses some well-established problems in a new reality.

Severe Isolated Peripheral Polyneuropathy without Myelopathy after Nitrous Oxide Abuse: A Case Report
Authors: Baek Seung-Min , Lee Seungbok , Kim Yu-Mi , Kim Eun-Sil
Published: August 2022

Nitrous oxide (N2O) abuse induces vitamin B12 deficiency, resulting in complications in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Some cases related to subacute combined degeneration or myeloneuropathy after N2O abuse have been reported. However, isolated peripheral polyneuropathy without spinal cord involvement has rarely been reported in South Korea. We describe a 29-year-old woman who had inhaled “happy balloons” daily (1,000 balloons/day) for recreational purposes over 3-month period, and presented with acute symmetrical hypoesthesia, paresthesia, and motor weakness on the bilateral lower limbs. Serologic tests showed megaloblastic anemia and vitamin B12 deficiency. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spine showed no abnormalities. An electrodiagnostic study confirmed lower limb-dominant axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy due to vitamin B12 deficiency from N2O abuse. The patient was treated with intramuscular vitamin B12 replacement. A follow-up electrodiagnostic study 4 months after the initial study showed only partial improvement. Despite the legal efforts of the Korean government to ban the use of N2O other than for medical purposes, cases of complications from its abuse are on the rise, especially among young adults. Physicians should recognize the strong possibility of N2O abuse as an underlying cause of vitamin B12 responsive polyneuropathy with or without spinal cord involvement.

Published: August 2022

The study explores the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI), information and communication technology (ICT) taxes, open commerce, and CO2 pollutants in Nigeria from 2010 to 2020 using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). CO2 emissions figures are collected in Million Tonnes from the World Data Atlas. Data on ICT taxes and FDI are gathered from the Federal Inland Revenue Service and the OECD database respectively. Trade openness data are obtained from the World Economic Indicators. The findings show that FDI has a very strong negative link with CO2 emissions in Nigeria. Similarly, there is a clear negative association between ICT taxes and FDI. However, there is a significant positive correlation between ICT taxes and CO2 emissions. Open trade has an intangible negative relationship with CO2 and an intangible positive relationship with FDI and ICT taxes. Based on the findings, the study provides recommendations to strengthen government policies in the respective areas of concern.

Depression, anxiety and stress levels among medical and dental students: а cross sectional study
Authors: Kumar S. , Jayachandra S. , Kodidala S. R.
Published: August 2022

Introduction.In medical and dental colleges increased levels of psychological disturbances such as depression, anxiety and stress (DASS) among students which affect the way these students take care of patients. By identifying necessary modifications can be made to improve the quality of life among medical and dental students.

The aimof this study is to assess DASS among undergraduate medical and dental students in Mathura city, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Material and methods.The medical and dental college students from K.D. Medical College and K.D. Dental College students were included. A short questionnaire version of depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS-21) was distributed and filled by students. Comparison among the variables was done using independentt-test with significance atp< 0.05.

Results.The study group comprised 415 subjects, 164 (39.51 %) males and 251 (60.48 %) females. Among them 297 (71.56 %) were medical students and 118 (28.43 %) were dental students. Out of a total of 297 medical students, the severity of overall DASS score was 38.8 ± 10.2 while depression score was 12.6 ± 4.0, anxiety score was 13.0 ± 4.1, stress score was 13.2 ± 4.3. Out of a total of 118 dental students the severity of overall DASS score was 37.8 ± 11.1 while depression scores was 12.2 ± 4.2, anxiety score was 12.9 ± 4.0, stress score was 12.7 ± 4.5. The overall mean DASS score and its dimensions were not significant based on gender.

Conclusions.Clinical years were more stressful than the nonclinical years. This suggests a need for special attention to the structure of the clinical program, particularly at the point of transition from the preclinical to the clinical phase.

Authors: Franz Molly R. , Savella Gina M. , Salen Nicole , Contractor Ateka A. , Kiser Laurel J.
Published: August 2022

Strengthening Family Coping Resources (SFCR), a multi-family group intervention tailored to families experiencing traumatic stress, is associated with improved post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and family functioning. To further SFCR research, we examined (1) SFCR’s effects on caregiver PTSD symptom clusters (intrusions, avoidance, negative alterations in cognitions and mood [NACM], alterations in arousal and reactivity); and (2) whether effects differed by caregiver trauma type (interpersonal versus non-interpersonal; intrafamilial versus extrafamilial). Forty-two caregivers of primarily low socioeconomic status reporting trauma histories completed SFCR treatment. Significant decreases in PTSD intrusion, avoidance, and NACM subscale scores emerged from pre- to post-SFCR; there were no differences in subscale score changes by trauma type categorization. Findings support SFCR as a promising treatment for reducing PTSD severity among caregivers reporting diverse traumas.

Published: August 2022

Objective: To demonstrate the advantages of Lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt surgery applied to patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).Methods: Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of 20 patients who underwent LP shunt surgery for NPH between 01/01/2012 and 07/04/2022 at the Neurosurgery Clinic of Ordu University Training and Research Hospital were analyzed. The demographic, clinical and laboratory data of the patients as well as their medical records were reviewed. Patients who underwent LP shunt with the diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus in our clinic were screened retrospectively, and the success rates and complications after the surgical intervention applied to these patients were recorded.Results: Statistically significant improvements were recorded in Modified Ranking Scale Scores and Mini-Mental State Examination Scores at the end of the first year. The incidence of Gait Disturbance did not differ significantly by gender, The incidence of dementia did not differ significantly by gender, The incidence of urinary incontinence showed a significant change according to gender While all of the women diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus had urinary incontinence in the preoperative period, this rate was seen in only 66.7% of the men. Gait disturbance improved in 80%, urinary incontinence in 60%, and cognitive functions in 60% of patients. No neurogenic complication developed in our operated patients. Wound infection occurred at the abdominal incision site in only two patients (10%). Subcutaneous hematoma occurred in the abdominal region in one patient (5%). Conclusion: LP shunt surgery has a lower complication rate than VP shunt surgery and is a more easily applicable surgical technique. LPS surgery is a safe and minimally invasive treatment method. It has lower complication rates compared to VPS . LPS surgery is an effective surgical technique. It can be used as an alternative to the VPS procedure in the treatment of NPH patients

Published: August 2022

Objective: An acute respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus emerged in December 2019. This disease associated with the novel coronavirus quickly spread across the world, leading to significant fatalities. Reliable predictors of disease mortality and severity are therefore needed in order to decide on clinical follow-up or earlier clinical intervention. This study was performed around the hypothesis that the LDH/ALB ratio would yield more sensitive results in predicting the potential relationship between disease severity and mortality in patients with COVID-19 aged over 65.Methods: COVID-19 patients aged over 65 presenting to a tertiary emergency department between August and October 2021, were investigated in this single-center, retrospective study. All patients over 65 presenting to the emergency department and diagnosed with COVID-19 were included. The study population was constituted following the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pulmonary involvement percentages and laboratory parameters were compared against patient mortality and thoracic tomography.Results: The relationship between patients’ lactate dehydrogenase/albumin ratios and mortality status was evaluated. The optimal cut-off value for the lactate dehydrogenase/albumin ratio in predicting mortality was 9.6 (AUC:0.815, sensitivity 75.9%, specificity 76.3%, p=0.001). The relationship between patients’ lactate dehydrogenase/albumin ratios and severity of pulmonary involvement was also examined. The cut-off value for severe pulmonary involvement was 11.2 (AUC:0.946, sensitivity 93.6%, specificity 87.4%, p=0.001).Conclusion: In conclusion, LDH/ALB ratio could be used to predict mortality and severity of pulmonary involvement in elderly COVID-19 patients.

Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática, explorou a Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), do Instituto Brasileiro de Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT), no recorte temporal de 2010 a 2021. A análise de conteúdo de cinco dissertações e uma tese de doutorado aponta para um ensino de Arte ainda alimentado pela perspectiva do multiculturalismo em abordagens pró-diversidade. Sinaliza que uma perspectiva antirracista no componente curricular Arte demanda uma docência próxima da produção e do fazer de artistas que abordam a temática do racismo na arte contemporânea.

Clinical data sharing using Generative Adversarial Networks
Authors: Ayyoubzadeh Seyed Mohammad , Ayyoubzadeh Seyed Mehdi , Esmaeili Marzieh
Published: August 2022

Obtaining data is challenging for researchers, especially when it comes to medical data. Moreover, using medical data as there are concerns about privacy and confidentiality issues requires specific considerations. Generative models aim to learn data distribution via various statistical learning approaches. Among generative models, a machine learning-based approach named Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) has proved their potential in the implicit density estimation of high dimensional data. Therefore, we suggest an approach that each healthcare organization, especially hospitals, could create and share their own GAN model, entitled Hospital-Based GANs (H-GANs), instead of sharing raw data of patients.
Fragmented Sexual Citizenship in China: Marriage Law, Assigned Guardianship System, and Gay Lives
Authors: Tang Kaiqiao
Published: August 2022

The legalization of same-sex marriage in China remains unlikely to be achieved. Some same-sex couples have begun to use legal guardianship as a way to obtain some of the rights of marriage. Even if the assigned guardianship system grants some marriage privileges, it denies same-sex couples access to social aid, protection from domestic violence, a reduced mortgage, and communal property, among other things. In this paper, I analyze and evaluate the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China and conduct interviews with a lesbian couple and a gay couple who have previously applied for assigned guardianship to determine how the assigned guardianship system in China prevents same-sex couples from attaining full sexual citizenship.
MISSÃO E DECOLONIALIDADE. APONTAMENTOS PARA UM PARADIGMA MISSIONÁRIO LATINO-AMERICANO EM PERSPECTIVA DECOLONIAL
Authors: Raschietti Stefano
Published: August 2022

Este ensaio, elaborado em forma de apontamentos, propõe-se a repensar criticamente a razão missionária, em seus pressupostos fundamentais e em sua atuação, à luz do pensamento decolonial latino-americano. Aportes fundamentais são extraídos da virada conciliar e da tradição pós-conciliar latino-americana. De uma missão triunfante da cristandade, há início um processo de descolonização da própria missão. Da pretensão de uma conquista espiritual, passa-se à necessidade de uma conversão da própria Igreja na maneira de atuar junto aos pobres e aos outros. Para avançar na configuração de um paradigma missionário em chave decolonial, sugerem-se algumas perspectivas de cunho teológico, pastoral e espiritual. A descolonização da missão enseja um demorado processo de desaprendizagem e reaprendizagem, na certeza da vinda de um Reino contra toda forma de violência, de opressão e de domínio a ser anunciado como dom e esperança.
New Concepts of Time and Matter Supported by Fifteen Proofs
Authors: Niemz Markolf H. , Stein Siegfried W.
Published: August 2022

We introduce two symmetric concepts to physics: “distance” (space and time in one) and “wavematter” (electromagnetic wave packet and matter in one). We claim that physics has chosen the wrong concept of time: It is not aware that the time of a moving object flows in a direction other than my time. We provide 15 proofs for our claim by solving 15 mysteries of physics. For example, we prove that length contraction and time dilation are geometrical effects in a 4D manifold that we call “Euclidean spacetime”. We prove that the discrepancy in calculating the Hubble constant stems from a systematic error in the redshift measurement. We prove that what I deem wave, deems itself matter, which solves wave–particle duality. We even untangle quantum entanglement without the issue of non-locality. We claim that a huge amount of energy was injected into Euclidean spacetime at a point that we take as origin. Ever since has this energy been moving radially away at the speed of light. We live in the 3D hypersurface of an expanding 4D hypersphere. Hyperspherical coordinates have the advantage that they reduce all that is ever happening to just one formula. So, it is the Theory of Everything in these coordinates: “Energy is covering radial distance which, divided by Euclidean time, is equal to the speed of light.” Acceleration and force emerge from a conversion to Cartesian coordinates and are thus pure math. Matching the symmetry simplifies physics!
Computer Programming for Analysis and Design of Edge Supported Rectangular Two-Way Solid Slab by Es En 1992-1-1:2015
Authors: Basha Chala
Published: August 2022

This study's main target was to analyze and design rectangular edges supported two ways solid slabs by using ES EN 1992-1-1:2015. Slab design is often carried out either manually or with the use of design and analytic software. The researcher sees that some software cannot accept some countries' standard codes. For example, currently in Ethiopia analysis and design of two-way solid slab is done using readily available Excel sheet template. But working with this might have many problems, firstly the structure that is already analyzed by SAP or SAFE or any other international software application that uses international codes but which cannot design structure using ES EN 1992; for instant euro codes and designed by excel sheet can create failure and uneconomical analysis and design result. In this paper, the slab is designed and analyzed based on the chosen concrete grade, chosen reinforcement bar diameter, chosen steel grade for design and analysis of slabs calculations like load, moment, shear, and deflection checking using the moment coefficient method for analysis and design and Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 for coding. All input values are given by the International Standard units and are also used to represent output values. Using manual calculations delays time and mostly the result is not correct. But using this Computer program can increase computation accuracy and save time. The procedure the researcher followed is, first the manual calculation has been done and then SADSE2021 has been done. The result is that both are 99.9% identical, and the disadvantage of this method is that it cannot be used to determine the detailed drawing.
Long-Term Antibody Response against SARS-CoV-2 in Health Care Workers: Effectiveness of Homologous and Heterologous Regimens and their Relation to Systemic Vaccine-Associated Symptoms

Published: August 2022

This prospective study provides data on long-term humoral immunogenicity of a heterologous off-label vaccine regimen combining the adenoviral vectored ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 from Astra-Zeneca (ChAd) with the mRNA-1273 vaccine from Moderna (m1273) in comparison to two different homologous mRNA vaccine schedules. Of the 316 COVID-19 naïve adult health care workers (HCW) included to complete a survey on vaccine-associated symptoms (VAS), 197 had received the homologous BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine from Pfizer/BioNTech (BNT/BNT), 76 the homologous m1273/m1273, and 43 the heterologous ChAd/m1273 vaccine regimen. Concentration of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in plasma 5-7 months after the second vaccine dose was higher in the m1273/m1273 and ChAd/m1273 than the BNT/BNT vaccine group. The frequency of systemic VAS after first vaccine dose was 86% after ChAd compared to 35% and 39% after BNT and m1273, respectively (p < 0.0001), and after second vaccine dose highest (89%) in the m1273/m1273 group (p < 0.001). Individuals with systemic VAS achieved higher levels of antibodies irrespective of vaccine regimen. In conclusion, VAS serve as a strong predictor of long-term humoral immune response, and the heterologous ChAd/m1273 vaccine regimen provides an at least equal long-term humoral immune response compared with the standard vaccine regimens used in Denmark.

One of the models that could be used to understand the adoption of vaccine uptake is the Health Belief Model (HBM). The aim of this study is to assess the role of HBM constructs and perceived health status (PHS) on vaccination status of individuals and to understand the role of socio-demographic variables on HBM scoring. A comparative cross-sectional telephone survey was conducted among 1,325 vaccinated (60.0%) and non-vaccinated (40.0%) vaccinated individuals aged 40 years and above in July 2021 in Punjab province, Pakistan. A higher level of education was the strongest predictor of positive HBM. All constructs of HBM, PHS and cues-to-action were significant predictors of COVID-19 vaccination uptake with perceived benefits as the strongest predictor. In order to expand the vaccination coverage, doubled pronged interventions utilizing both ICT and human resources should be designed that address each barrier perceived by individuals and understandably communicate the benefits of COVID-19 vaccine to the broader population.
Photonic Multiplexing Techniques for Optical Neuromorphic Computing
Authors: Moss David
Published: August 2022

The simultaneous advances in artificial neural networks and photonic integration technologies have spurred extensive research in optical computing and optical neural networks (ONNs). The potential to simultaneously exploit multiple physical dimensions of time, wavelength and space give ONNs the ability to achieve computing operations with high parallelism and large-data throughput. Different photonic multiplexing techniques based on these multiple degrees of freedom have enabled ONNs with large-scale interconnectivity and linear computing functions. Here, we review the recent advances of ONNs based on different approaches to photonic multiplexing, and present our outlook on key technologies needed to further advance these photonic multiplexing/hybrid-multiplexing techniques of ONNs.
Reflection of light as a mechanical phenomenon applied to the Michelson interferometer with light from the Sun
Authors: Dambi  Filipescu Filip
Published: August 2022

The Sun is a frame at relative rest in which the light from Sun travels at the emitted speed c, and the Earth travels with the revolving speed v. The reflection of light as a mechanical phenomenon applies to the modified Michelson interferometer employed by Miller in his experiments with light from Sun. Unlike the Tomaschek experiments, which employ light from stars, the fringe shifts in the Miller experiments are predictable. This study derives the light speeds from the Sun entering the interferometer from 6 am to 6 pm and the corresponding fringe shifts confirming that Miller's observed fringe shifts are proof of the Earth's motion in the Sun's frame at relative rest and the Universe.
