Diagnostic Performance of Deep Learning Models for Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia Detection in Narrow-band Images
Authors: Martins Miguel , Pedroso Maria , Libânio Diogo , Dinis-Ribiero Mário , Coimbra Miguel , Renna Francesco
Published: May 2023

Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia (GIM) is one of the precancerous conditions in the gastric carcinogenesis cascade and its optical diagnosis during endoscopic screening is challenging even for seasoned endoscopists. Several solutions leveraging pre-trained deep neural networks (DNNs) have been recently proposed in order to assist human diagnosis. In this paper, we present a comparative study of these architectures in a new dataset containing GIM and non-GIM Narrow-band imaging still frames. We find that the surveyed DNNs perform remarkably well on average, but still measure sizeable inter- fold variability during cross-validation. An additional ad-hoc analysis suggests that these baseline architectures may not perform equally well at all scales when diagnosing GIM.
Demand Curtailment Allocation in Interconnected Electricity Markets
Authors: Fraunholz Christoph , Tash Ali , Scheben Heike , Zillich Alexander
Published: May 2023

In interconnected electricity systems dominated by intermittent renewable electricity generation, resource adequacy assessments need to consider cross-zonal and intertemporal dependencies. This calls for a decision-making mechanism that determines a fair and unique allocation of inevitable demand curtailment across space and time. Otherwise, traditional resource adequacy indicators like the loss of load expectation (LOLE) or the expected energy not supplied (EENS) become arbitrary on a national level. Against this background, we develop a conceptual framework for evaluating the spatial and temporal fairness of demand curtailment allocation. We then introduce two model formulations – a linearized approach and a post-processing approach – that allow to implement a demand curtailment allocation mechanism into any dispatch optimization model. Simulation results from a European-wide case study show that on an overall system level, both approaches substantially increase the spatial fairness of the demand curtailment allocation while only insignificantly increasing the total EENS across all zones. However, only the linearized approach achieves a more fair temporal allocation across different time steps. The implications in an individual zone, e.g. Germany, are stark, which is illustrated by the LOLE varying between 12 and 116 h/a as well as the EENS between 94.9 and 293.2 GWh/a depending on the applied configuration.
Interoperability between DLT following a Gateway-based approach: the Case of Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric
Authors: Llambias Guzman , Pandolfi Sebastián , González Laura , Ruggia Raúl , González Emiliano , Castro Mathias
Published: May 2023

Distributed ledger technologies (DLT) usage is currently limited to a single platform as they don't have design-based interoperability capabilities. In general, it's challenging for a DLT to communicate with another one. Although several DLT solutions have been proposed and applied in specific application areas, building a general purpose interoperability solution for any DLT remains a challenge. In previous work, we proposed a tailor-made interoperability solution between Hyperledger Fabric and Corda. This paper extends that work to enable interoperability between Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum. The main contributions of this paper are proposals for a new Ethereum connector, a new request-response interaction model and the introduction of future payments to enable the payments of services. A prototype was developed and evaluated through a case scenario, performance tests and cost analysis. Performance tests showed bottlenecks under heavy load scenarios due to Ethereum's design. Costs analysis showed that the approach is suitable for purchasing high-priced services. These promising results constitute a step forward in developing a general-purpose solution for DLT interoperability.

Modeling and Design of Cold-Start Charge Pumps for Photovoltaic Energy Harvesters
Authors: Truesdell Daniel , Boley James , Gravel Alain , Wokhlu Atul , Wentzloff David , Calhoun Benton
Published: May 2023

This article presents modeling and design optimization of switched-capacitor charge pumps for use as cold-start circuits in photovoltaic energy harvesters. For a successful coldstart from photovoltaic energy, a certain output voltage and current must be generated by the charge pump while jointly minimizing the required input voltage and current from the energy harvesting source. We model the operation of the coldstart charge pump including its oscillator, derive expressions for required input voltage and current based on output requirements, and demonstrate a pareto-optimal design space that defines the tradeoff between the required input voltage and current to achieve cold-start. We then assess the impacts of process and temperature variation, and suggest a general design methodology for cold-start charge pump circuits. Finally, we validate models with measurements from a design fabricated in 55nm CMOS.

Build General Machine Intelligence Based on the Brain’s General Stimulation-Response Mechanism That Can Decompose the Semantics in Natural Language
Authors: Tang Lei
Published: May 2023

The human natural language is the operation system of our consciousness activity, and before it appeared we human interacted with the nature and each other typically through the image and sound, of course human beings also are the part of nature. The use of tools catalyzes the generation of natural language, in which the semantics space established in the image and sound of nature has been expanded greatly. The brain consciousness behavior depends on the attention mechanism which can extract the specified semantics, and this paper introduces the brain’s general stimulation-response mechanism that can decompose the semantics in natural language. Based on this kind of mechanism rather than computing-power and the current computer processing ability, it is sure that we are able to better simulate the brain intelligence.

Solar Energy Systems Design using Immersive Virtual Reality: A Multi-Modal Learning Approach
Authors: AlQallaf Noor , AlQallaf Ali , Ghannam Rami
Published: May 2023

As the demand for renewable energy sources continues to increase, solar energy is becoming an increasingly popular option. Therefore, effective training in solar energy system design and operation is crucial to ensure the successful implementation of solar energy technology. To make this training accessible to a wide range of people from different backgrounds, it is important to develop effective and engaging training methods. Immersive virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing solar energy training and education. In this paper, we present a unique approach to evaluating the effectiveness of an immersive VR experience for solar energy systems design training, using a multi-module approach and a detailed analysis of user engagement. To better understand the effectiveness of this VR experience, we divided our experiment into several scenes and employed a range of sensors, including eye-tracking and wireless wearable sensors, to accurately assess users' engagement and performance in each scene. Our results demonstrate that the immersive VR experience was effective in improving users' understanding of solar energy systems design and their ability to perform complex tasks. Moreover, by using sensors to measure user engagement, we identified specific areas that required improvement and provide insights for enhancing the design of future VR training experiences for solar energy systems design. Our study highlights the potential of immersive VR as a tool for enhancing solar energy training and education, with implications for both research and practice.
Knowledge, economy, and university in the south of Europe at the end of the eighteenth century. The case of Salamanca and Coimbra
Authors: Teixeira Alves Carlos Fernando
Published: May 2023

In this paper, we will try to analyze the reforms of philosophy curricula at the Universities of Salamanca and Coimbra, and their connection to the economic development of their respective economies. We will demonstrate how this reform altered curricular contents with the purpose of guaranteeing a formation that could potentiate a better exploitation of the natural resources, mainly of their colonies. In this logic, the most emblematic disciplines were natural history, botany and chemistry. However, factors external to these educational reforms demonstrated their limits. We speak of a lack of jobs for philosophers (and mathematicians), but also a decline in national economies.
Bookkeeping as a ‘key technology’ of pre-modern commerce. Its relevance for the eco-nomic development in Europe
Authors: Denzel Markus A.
Published: May 2023

It is the aim of this paper to analyse the importance of (double-entry) bookkeeping for the economic development in Europe and its possible indirect influence on economic growth. Being one of the most important commercial techniques of the European merchants double-entry bookkeeping stayed in close relationship to the expansion of trade. So, the distribution of different bookkeeping techniques all over Western and Central Europe, took place, on one hand, through the extensive commercial contacts of Italian merchant-bankers with merchants of regions north of the Alps and because of the need of many non-Italian merchants to consolidate their commercial knowledge in Italy through specific studies and/or through acquiring practical knowledge. On the other, treaties on (double-entry) bookkeeping supported its diffusion. The study analyses examples of ledgers as ‘mirrors’ of their enterprises’ activities, and it will be shown how such ledgers served as instruments for reducing various risks of entrepreneurial engagement. As a result it will become clear that the knowledge of the technique of double-entry bookkeeping was one of the preconditions of the commercial and, later on, the industrial expansion of the Europeans, which made a significant difference to other merchant cultures in the world.

Putting Education Back at the Center: Some Reflections and Proposals on the Italian Situation
Authors: Susca Emanuela
Published: May 2023

In this article, I address issues of inequality in Italy and, in particular, the role that education can play in fighting inequality. Moving beyond the nevertheless real problem of the scarcity of funds allocated by the Italian governments to education, I focus on the objectives that should inform spending criteria, thus emphasizing the importance of truly inclusive education, achievable through an ambitious path of comprehensive and incisive reforms. A country that does not excel in the civic sense and that for some scholars is even becoming less civilized, Italy should put education back at the center not only as a matter of social justice, but also to avert decline and improve the quality of its democratic coexistence.

Published: May 2023

Objectives: Although alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a burdening public health problem, medical and community-based services are under-utilized in South Korea. To understand factors affecting the course of AUD, a nation-wide longitudinal follow-up study was conducted.
Methods: A 3-year biannual follow-up evaluation of patients with AUD from six areas in South Korea was conducted in 2016-2019. Baseline demographic and clinical data, alcohol-related problems, affective symptoms, insight level, and motivation measures were compared between patients who failed and succeeded in cessation from heavy drinking (CHD) and between patients from medical (hospital) and community-based services.
Results: The 6-month CHD rate was 18.3%-48.5%. After six months, follow-up loss and CHD were drastically decreased over time. AUD, alcohol craving, depression, and anxiety scale scores were higher in patients who failed CHD. Hospital patients showed higher AUD severity scores, whereas community patients showed higher depression scores. Failed CHD patients had greater AUD severity in medical setting and greater depression and anxiety severity in community setting.
Conclusion: This study performed the first nation-wide prospective survey on the course of patients with AUD in South Korea. Difference in CHD rate and associated factors between medical and community settings in AUD treatment suggest a need for implementing treatment setting-specific programs.

Authors:   Taegu Science University Defense Security Institute, Yang Hye Won , Yoo Keun Hwan
Published: May 2023

This study analyzed how the ROK government's North Korea policy and unification plan have changed. The ROK government's North Korea policy and unification plan have undergone significant changes over the past several decades. Looking at the changes from the Park Chung-hee administration to the Moon Jae-in administration is important in developing future North Korea policy and unification plans. From 1961, during the Park Chung-hee administration, to 2022, when the Moon Jae-in administration ended, the ROK's North Korea policy and unification plan were examined. The reason for the analysis from 1961 is that this period was the period when North Korea was approached from a policy point of view after the Korean War. North Korea continues to threaten South Korea militarily after the Korean War and is increasing the threat by developing nuclear weapons and upgrading ballistic missiles. North Korea talks about reconciliation and peace on the outside, but in reality, it continues to seriously threaten the ROK's security. Nonetheless, North Korea is a target that the ROK must embrace and unify in the future. Therefore, the ROK needs to promote policies and measures that can cooperate with North Korea while being wary of it.
