Background. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor for vascular disease (including the cerebrovascular disease). One of the major consequences of cerebral microangiopathic disease is the cognitive decline. This study’s objective is to assess cognitive abilities of a selected group of 23 type II diabetic patients. Materials and methods. The trial enrolled 48 patients aged between 40 and 68 years old. None of the patients had a personal history of cerebrovascular disease or a history of cognitive impairment. Cognitive status was assessed using current tests such as IQ, MMSE, the clock-drawing test, Hamilton Scale for depression and each patient was given a set of specific psychometric tests in order to accurately evaluate a specific area of cognition (memory, attention, visual and spatial orientation, executive function). The results were statistically processed by SPSS. Results. The global cognitive score for diabetic patients was significantly lower -60,3/100 points compared to that of the control group -69.08/100 points (p = 0.048). The cognitive field most affected in these patients was the executive function 7.30/20 points in diabetic patients compared to that of the control group – 11.04/20 points (p = 0.008). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups related to the presence of symptoms of depression or cognitive capacity level evaluated by standard tests (IQ, MMSE, clock-drawing test). Conclusions. Patients with type II DM have a lower overall cognitive score, even at middle-age, when compared with patients without this type of metabolic impairment. The most affected domain is the executive function.

Intrapersonal Experiences and Suicide Ideation of University Students: The Case of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana
Authors: Koomson-Yalley Elizabeth
Published: October 2022

There have been rising global reported cases of suicidal behaviors in schools and universities. In this qualitative study, the authors sought to explore how self-directed thoughts and emotions of intrapersonal experience that come from school performance precipitate suicide ideation among university students. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to solicit self-reported information on self-directed thoughts and emotions of intrapersonal experience among 40 students from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi-Ghana. Two counselors from the Guidance and Counseling unit of the same institution were also interviewed. Theoretically, the paper employed Weiner’s motivational theory. This study used a six-phase thematic analysis. The study noted that intrapersonal experiences of self-directed thoughts, particularly unachieved expectancy of success and self-directed emotions of pride, guilt, and shame emanated from poor academic performance. From the data, the authors discovered that prayer, institutional support, for instance, the Guidance and Counseling Unit of KNUST and off-campus extracurricular activities mediated in curtailing or reducing the burden of suicide ideation with the eventual act of suicide. In conclusion, this paper has established that intrapersonal experience is complementary to the interpersonal experience of university students in the study of suicide ideation to holistically comprehend the internal and external factors that generate suicide ideation. This study recommends that the judicial system of Ghana should rethink decriminalizing suicide and attempted suicide if students are to acknowledge their state of suicide ideation for the necessary intervention.

Has Our Twenty Years' Cultural Studies Camp Been Really Campy?
Authors:   Korean Association of Cultural Studies, Jeon Gyu-Chan
Published: October 2022

This essay will reflexively review the Cultural Studies Camp that is celebrating twenty years' of history and memory in 2022. How was the Camp thought and formed firsthand, with what precise intent and specific purpose? How can we evaluate its meaning as well as significance intrinsically? As one of the key original organizers, the author will recall the earlier stage of inventing the camp outside Seoul which is the dominant hegemonic center of scholarly activities.
The Cultural Studies Camp did not intend to be another conference for paper presentation. It was to become a line of flight, a time for deconstruction away from the mainstream format of academism. To meet that desired goal, the Camp should always be on the movement renewing itself with creative, self-questioning ideas. A kind of campy sprit, an experimental aestheticism, is a absolute premise for resetting the camp into a reformulating, recreative body. Imagining and hoping more radicalized form of Camp for the future, the author will focus on the queer understanding of the camp. He will read Susan Sontag together with other writers and/or theorists who have emphasized that camp is and should be a queer practice that is fundamentally campy.
Uneven career of an ‘accidental’ cultural theorist －Looking for answers inside and outside the field－
Authors:   Korean Association of Cultural Studies, Im Yung-Ho
Published: October 2022

What is cultural studies? This paper attempts to answer this question through a reflection on tmy personal experience as a ‘non-conformist’ cultural theorist. It may be feasible to define cultural studies in terms of problematic, theory (or theories), and research strategies. I have tried to grope for a personally right formulation, while maintaining distance with the mainstream cultural studies both in the United State and Korea. Given that mainstream cultural studies have embroiled themselves into theoretical sophistication at the expense of critical inquiry into the social reality, I have attempted to develop political-theoretical sensitivity to domestically legitimate problematics relying upon a broad spectrum of social-cultural theories. In terms of a research strategy, I would like to suggest experimentations with a variety of approach, ranging from intellectual-history, empirical journalism studies to collective qualitative research, all of which have contributed to my version of cultural studies in their own ways. I conclude my review with a suggestion that, for a sustainable model of cultural studies, we need to develop multi-level strategies in studying and teaching theories as well as viable research strategies for next generation of scholars.
Quantification of the Cross-helicity Turbulent Cascade in Compressible MHD Simulations
Authors: Montagud-Camps Victor , Hellinger Petr , Verdini Andrea , Papini Emanuele , Franci Luca , Landi Simone
Published: October 2022

In plasma turbulence, energy and cross helicity are transferred across scales at a constant rate as a consequence of nonlinear interactions. In incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the energy cascade rate of both quantities can be computed by means of the temporal evolution of second-order structure functions, known as Karman–Howarth–Monin (KHM) equations. In the present work, we derive the KHM equation to compute the energy cascade rate of cross helicity in compressible MHD. Using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations, we validate the equation and use it to measure the cross-helicity turbulence properties. Our results show a slower development of the cross-helicity cascade with respect to the energy one and the presence of inverse cascades of energy and cross helicity at large scales when in the presence of a strong mean field. We propose the relation of these phenomena with the longer duration of geomagnetic storms after the arrival of solar winds with large cross helicity and the observation of patchy inertial ranges displaying positive and negative cascade rates for certain solar wind intervals.

) in GOTHAM line survey observations of the dark molecular cloud TMC-1 using the Green Bank Telescope at centimeter wavelengths. Using a combination of Markov Chain Monte Carlo, spectral stacking, and matched filtering techniques, we find evidence for the presence of this molecule at the 6.3σ level. This provides the first direct observation of the ratio of a cyano-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon to its pure hydrocarbon counterpart, in this case indene, in the same source. We discuss the possible formation chemistry of this species, including why we have only detected one of the isomers in TMC-1. We then examine the overall hydrocarbon:CN-substituted ratio across this and other simpler species, as well as compare to those ratios predicted by astrochemical models. We conclude that while astrochemical models are not yet sufficiently accurate to reproduce absolute abundances of these species, they do a good job at predicting the ratios of hydrocarbon:CN-substituted species, further solidifying -CN tagged species as excellent proxies for their fully symmetric counterparts.
A Lower Bound of Star Formation Activity in Ultra-high-redshift Galaxies Detected with JWST: Implications for Stellar Populations and Radiation Sources
Authors: Inayoshi Kohei , Harikane Yuichi , Inoue Akio K. , Li Wenxiu , Ho Luis C.
Published: October 2022

Early results of James Webb Space Telescope observations have delivered bright z ≳ 10 galaxy candidates in greater numbers than expected, enabling construction of rest-frame UV luminosity functions (LFs). The LFs contain key information on the galaxy assembly history, star formation activity, and stellar population of the distant universe. Given an upper bound of the total baryonic mass inflow rate to galaxies from their parent halos estimated from abundance matching, we derive a lower bound on the product of the star formation and UV photon production efficiency in galaxies at each redshift. This stringent constraint requires a high efficiency (≳10%–30%) converting gas into stars, assuming a normal stellar population with a Salpeter-like mass distribution. The efficiency is substantially higher than those of typical nearby galaxies, but is consistent with those seen in starburst galaxies and super-star clusters observed in the nearby universe. Alternatively, the star formation efficiency may be as low as a few percent, which is the average value for the entire galaxy population at z ≃ 6, if the stellar population is metal-free and drawn from a top-heavy mass distribution that produces more intense UV radiation. We discuss several other possible scenarios to achieve the constraint, for instance, energetic radiation produced from compact stellar remnants and quasars, and propose ways to distinguish the scenarios by forthcoming observations.
An Empirical Approach to Selecting the First Growing Black Hole Seeds with JWST/NIRCam
Authors: Goulding Andy D. , Greene Jenny E.
Published: October 2022

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will have the sensitivity to detect early low-mass black holes (BHs) as they transition from “seeds” to supermassive BHs. Based on the JAGUAR mock catalog of galaxies, we present a clean color selection that takes advantage of the unique UV slope of accreting supermassive BHs with a relatively low mass and high accretion rates. We show that those galaxies hosting ∼106
M
⊙ BHs radiating at >10% of their Eddington luminosity separate in color space from inactive systems for a range of host stellar masses. Here we propose a set of 3-band, 2-color selection boxes (with 90% completeness; 90% purity; balanced purity/completeness) with JWST/NIRCam to identify the most promising growing BH candidates at z ∼ 7–10.

This letter exploits the radial alignment between the Parker Solar Probe and BepiColombo in late 2022 February, when both spacecraft were within Mercury’s orbit. This allows the study of the turbulent evolution, namely, the change in spectral and intermittency properties, of the same plasma parcel during its expansion from 0.11 to 0.33 au, a still unexplored region. The observational analysis of the solar wind turbulent features at the two different evolution stages is complemented by a theoretical description based on the turbulence transport model equations for nearly incompressible magnetohydrodynamics. The results provide strong evidence that the solar wind turbulence already undergoes significant evolution at distances less than 0.3 au from the Sun, which can be satisfactorily explained as due to evolving slab fluctuations. This work represents a step forward in understanding the processes that control the transition from weak to strong turbulence in the solar wind and in properly modeling the heliosphere.

Published: October 2022

Na pesca artesanal os homens possuem papel de destaque sendo retratados como mestres de pesca. Já as mulheres, tem que conciliar os afazeres domésticos, o cuidado com os filhos e família com suas atividades de pescaria, ocasionando, a deslegitimação e invisibilidade da mulher pescadora. O objetivo foi investigar como a questão do gênero está atrelada no contexto da pesca artesanal nas comunidades pesqueiras beneficiárias da Reserva Extrativista Acaú-Goiana. Para tal, foram acompanhadas as reuniões do Conselho Gestor Deliberativo da RESEX e aplicados questionários de entrevistas com as pescadoras. A atividade das mulheres está relacionada a pesca principalmente de moluscos e crustáceos no estuário da RESEX com forte autoafirmação da pescadora/marisqueira, que luta por sua representatividade em diferentes frentes sociais. Essas pescadoras começaram a ocupar os espaços de gestão, cargos esse que eram quase que exclusivamente ocupados por homens e atualmente elas atuam na gestão local.

Pôde-se observar nos resultados que os LGBTTT vêm ocupando diversos cargos no mundo corporativo, dentre eles, os de liderança, com suas habilidades e características que levam a desenvolver uma influência positiva e inspiradora. Foi notório através desta pesquisa que os líderes vêm integrando e socializando os subordinados, por contas de ações que estão evoluindo em suas carreiras e conquistando seu espaço no mundo empresarial.
O que gays e lésbicas dizem sobre empresas e diversidade?
Authors: Caproni Neto Henrique Luiz
Published: October 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o que gays e lésbicas dizem sobre diversidade e empresas. Para tanto, tratamos da diversidade nas organizações em uma perspectiva gerencialista e em uma crítica e social, trouxemos alguns apontamentos sobre a vivência de não heterossexuais no mundo do trabalho. Realizamos uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo com três lésbicas e quatro homens homossexuais através do método da história oral com foco nas suas trajetórias profissionais. Esses dados foram analisados através da análise de conteúdo qualitativa (BARDIN, 2011) gerando três categorias: o não heterossexual como ótimo profissional; o preconceito expresso; e a não preocupação com a diversidade. De modo geral, a real valorização da diversidade parece estar longe de fato da vivência laboral de trabalhadores não heterossexuais.

Published: October 2022

Comme nombre de chercheurs, nous avons mis nos savoirs au service de la lutte contre la Covid-19. Dès février 2020, nous avons produit des graphiques quotidiens afin de comparer l’évolution de la pandémie selon les pays. Nous avons aussi fédéré un réseau scientifique qui élaborait et documentait des analyses pertinentes. Ensuite, nous avons conçu un outil qui estime au mieux le taux de reproduction de la pandémie dans les pays du monde et dans les départements français, en n’utilisant que le nombre des infections quotidiennes observées dans chaque territoire. Disposant de données de qualité limitée, notre modèle s’est focalisé sur la correction des erreurs, via des méthodes dites de « problèmes inverses ». Bien qu’il ne permette d’estimer que le taux de reproduction du jour, notre outil permet une évaluation de tendance à court terme. Enfin, pour analyser au mieux l’évolution spatiale et temporelle de la pandémie, nous avons réalisé une carte animée et interactive intégrant la production de graphiques permettant la comparaison entre deux pays. Nous concluons cet article en abordant quelques pistes épistémologiques.

Published: October 2022

Diabetes is one of the four major types of noncommunicable diseases (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases). It is chronic condition that occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin therefore results in raised blood sugar levels. Insulin is a hormone that regulates the blood sugar when food consumption. If the proper treatment is not received organs of the body like kidneys, nervous system and eyes can deteriorate. Therefore, it is better to predict diabetes as early as possible because lead to serious damage to many of the body's systems. In this paper, we modify extragradient method with an inertial extrapolation step and viscosity-type method to solve equilibrium problems of pseudomonotone bifunction operator in real Hilbert spaces. Strong convergence result is obtained under the assumption that the bifunction satisfies the Lipchitz-type condition. Moreover, we show choosing stepsize parameter in many ways, this shows that our algorithm is flexible using. Finally, we apply our algorithm to solve the diabetes mellitus classification in machine learning and show the algorithm's efficiency by comparing with existing algorithms.

Using Autobiographies for a Sociology of Mountaineering
Authors: Moraldo Delphine
Published: October 2022

Since the beginning of mountaineering, mountaineers have produced a vast literary canon. Amongst these texts, autobiographies hold a special place: although they are much more common in mountaineering than perhaps in any other sport, they appeared much later than the first mountaineering accounts of ascents and expeditions, which have been available at least since the 1840s. This article addresses two questions. First, why have mountaineers written so many autobiographies, but only since the 1920s? And second, is this material relevant if we want to carry out a valid sociological analysis of mountaineering, and more particularly of excellence in mountaineering? The article shows that autobiographies present relevant, even ideal material for a sociological study of excellence in mountaineering. Indeed, they are characterized by a discourse of excellence produced by an elite (both sporting and, to a certain extent, social elite), a discourse that can tell us a lot about the so-called spirit of mountaineering.
Extra Marital Affairs, Breach of Trust in Marriage, and Therapeutic Jurisprudence
Authors: Halder Debarati
Published: October 2022

Therapeutic jurisprudence (TJ) emphasizes the law's healing touch to cure the socio-legal evils that may hamper the wellbeing of people at large. The chapter deals with extramarital affairs, breach of trust in marriages, and the role of TJ in restitution of justice for spouses, especially female spouses who may be pushed to trauma, extreme depression, frustration, and anger due to extramarital affairs by unfaithful husbands with special reference to India. In ancient Hindu Codes and customary laws, extramarital affairs by husbands did not find specific mention as offensive behavior in marriage. This has led the contemporary laws to not acknowledge extramarital affairs as offences in marriage. But in the ancient times, women in India had rights to seek restitution of justice from family elders and community elders. This alternative dispute resolution mechanism provided much needed healing touch. The chapter researches on the hidden role of TJ in the ancient and contemporary laws in India dealing with victimization of women by way of extramarital affairs by husbands.
Innovation for Sustainability by Smaller Organizations

Published: October 2022

In the context of growing sustainability challenges, organizations are increasingly expected to take action and report on sustainability. However, many organizations and local communities struggle with concretizing and balancing sustainability goals and actions. The present study, which draws upon parts of a larger qualitative case study, examines and compares six innovation pilots within the experience-based tourism industry. All cases received financial support within a program promoting an overall strategy of getting visitors to stay longer in tourist destinations. The chapter contributes knowledge to the field of innovation for sustainability in tourism and experiences by concretizing strategies and sustainability impacts and discussing them in relation to the concepts of weak and strong sustainability. The cases illustrate different ways the tourism industry and other collaborators can work toward achieving the sustainability development goals (SDGs) by avoiding negative impacts and increasing positive impacts within economic, environmental, and social sustainability dimensions.

Published: October 2022

The present world is overwhelmed with digital technologies: ubiquitous platforms of cloud computing and the internet of everything. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that enables a machine to simulate human behaviour. The detailed facial expressions are captured by AI-enabled effective imaging and recognition processes of human vision. In artificial emotional intelligence (AEI), a new paradigm of human-computer interaction with AI-enabled cloud and internet connectivity could transpire healthy emotional intelligence (EI). As per the WHO world health report in 2018, globally, an estimated 264 million people are affected by depression and increased in recent years pertinent to COVID-19 lockdown-induced socio-economic factors.

Machine learning and deep learning play a vital role in making smart decisions, especially with huge amounts of data. Identifying the emotional intelligence levels of individuals helps them to avoid superfluous problems in the workplace or in society. Emotions reflect the psychological state of a person or represent a quick (a few minutes or seconds) reactions to a stimulus. Emotions can be categorized on the basis of a person's feelings in a situation: positive, negative, and neutral. Emotional intelligence seeks attention from computer engineers and psychologists to work together to address EI. However, identifying human emotions through deep learning methods is still a challenging task in computer vision. This chapter investigates deep learning models for the recognition and assessment of emotional states with diverse emotional data such as speech and video streaming. Finally, the conclusion summarises the usefulness of DL methods in assessing human emotions. It helps future researchers carry out their work in the field of deep learning-based emotional artificial intelligence.

EN31 is a high carbon steel, used in manufacturing bearings, punches and gauges because of its better hardness. Heat treatment is one of the major process adopted to improve microstructural and mechanical properties of high carbon steels. The present investigation aims to improve hardness of EN31 high carbon steel through heat treatment. Parameters considered during this investigation were austenization temperature, soaking time, temper temperature and temper time. Microstructure examination was carried out to confirm the phases of heat treated EN31. Taguchi’s orthogonal approach was adopted to minimize the number of experimental runs. Influence of each parameter on the hardness was analyzed. The levels of each parameter were identified that maximize the hardness through S/N ratio. Identified optimal levels of parameters are 900 °C austenization temperature, 30 min soaking time, 150 °C temper temperature and 10 min temper time. A regression model for hardness has been established. Analysis of variance test was used to identify the significant parameters. Finally, the results were validated through confirmation experiments.

Copper is a widely used material in various industries due to its properties like good corrosion resistance, thermal and electrical conductivity, stability at high temperatures, etc. To increase the mechanical and tribological properties, additional reinforcement should be added to the copper matrix. Adding tin into copper will result in the formation of bronze which is stronger and harder than either of the pure metals. This study deals with the comparative study of mechanical and tribological properties of microwave sintered and conventionally sintered Cu-6Sn. The mechanical properties of Cu-6Sn processed through powder metallurgy are compared with that of Cu-6Sn processed through casting. Hardness and wear resistance was observed to be higher for conventionally sintered specimens. Microwave sintered Cu-6Sn exhibit enhanced mechanical properties compared to Cu-6Sn processed through casting.

Metal cutting is the way of processing the workpiece with tool having sharp cutting edges of different materials generating chips of different shapes and sizes. In present era of industry 4.0, metal machining should not be unrated during processing of hard grades metals and superalloys where large amount of cutting forces are generated. Also, the measurement of cutting forces provides the basic of economical machining and hence accurate evaluation in experimental and analytical manner has great importance. The traditional models of metal cutting have disagreement with experimental results due to missing of important mechanics terms. With the development of digital technology, the errors in calculation of cutting force have also been shortened due to consideration of terms absent in conventional models. In present investigation, the cutting forces have been evaluated experimentally using dynamometer and analytically with Astakhov’s methodology during turning of EN-31 steel. The results revealed that 12.9% observations have deviation more than 20%, whereas 16.67 % has zero deviation. Further, the feed rate has more influence on cutting forces as compared to speed and nose radius. In addition, the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) of vegetable oil has lowered the cutting forces appreciably compared to dry machining.

Machining is a complex process which uses cutting tool for finshing the workpiece material. A sequence of machining tests costs a lot of expense and effort to complete. It's critical to avoid time-consuming runs and put technology first. Surface roughness (Ra) has been used to signal quality of product in the turning process as part of an automated monitoring system deployed in-process. This research uses machine learning models to estimate surface roughness while machining AISI 304 stainless steel rods. The key elements impacting surface quality are the input variables of turning, namely feed rate, depth of cut, and spindle speed. Four machine learning (ML)-based algorithms were used to predict surface roughness in this study: Gradient Boosting Regression (GBR), Decision Tree Regression (DTR), Extreme Gradient Boosting Regression (XGB), and Random Forest (RF) of Surface Roughness (Ra). The baseline models' predictive ability was measured using error measures such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), mean squared error (MSE), and coefficient of determination (R2). Overall, the XGB and GBR models appear to have the most accuracy in predicting surface roughness (Ra).

Published: October 2022

Coexistence between humans and large carnivores is mediated by diverse values and interactions. We focus on four sites in the Cantabrian Mountains of Spain with a history of continuous wolf presence to examine how perceptions of coexistence vary across contexts. We conducted semi-structured and informal interviews with livestock farmers (n = 271), hunters (n = 157), and local community members (n = 60) to collect quantitative and qualitative data on people's experiences of coexistence with wolves. We use an environmentality framework to analyse approaches to wolf governance across sites and explore how local resource users perceive, negotiate, and respond to different governance approaches. Our analysis is firstly structured around coexistence subjectivities associated with pastoralist and hunter cultures. These encompass ambivalent and multi-layered relations founded on notions of reciprocity with nature and on resource users' roles as producers and land stewards. Secondly, we explore encounters between local cultures, interests, and environmental regulations in the context of different site-based environmentalities. The framework we adopt enables coexistence to be conceived as a space of competing knowledges and practices, arising from everyday embodied interactions with wolves and the cultural politics through which local communities negotiate different ways of governing, knowing, and relating to nature.

In Gauthier, Manolaki, and Nestoridis (2021, Advances in Mathematics 381, 107649), in order to correct a false Mergelyan-type statement given in Gamelin and Garnett (1969, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 143, 187–200) on uniform approximation on compact sets K in
$\mathbb C^d$
, the authors introduced a natural function algebra
$A_D(K)$
which is smaller than the classical one
$A(K)$
. In the present paper, we investigate when these two algebras coincide and compare them with the classes of all plausibly approximable functions by polynomials or rational functions or functions holomorphic on open sets containing the compact set K. Finally, we introduce a notion of O-hull of K and strengthen known results.
A polynomial approximation result for free Herglotz–Agler functions
Authors: Kojin Kenta
Published: October 2022

In this paper, we prove a noncommutative (nc) analog of Schwarz lemma for the nc Schur–Agler class and prove that the regular nc Schur–Agler class and the regular free Herglotz–Agler class are homeomorphic. Moreover, we give a characterization of regular free Herglotz–Agler functions. As an application, we will show that any regular free Herglotz–Agler functions can uniformly be approximated by regular Herglotz–Agler free polynomials.
