Authors: Makandar Aziz , Kaman Shilpa , Javeriya Syeda Bibi
Published: November 2024

Detecting forgeries in diverse datasets involves identifying alterations or manipulations of various digital media, such as images, videos, and documents. There are unique challenges associated with each type of media for efficient forgery detection. This study investigated the effectiveness of both traditional and AI-based feature extraction techniques, combined with machine learning classifiers, in detecting forgeries across three distinct datasets: document images, the CASIA 2.0 standard image forgery dataset, and a video dataset containing real and forged videos. Traditional feature extraction methods such as Local Binary Patterns (LBP), Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), color histograms, and RGB to HSV conversion were utilized alongside machine learning classifiers like Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM). Additionally, AI-based techniques leveraging pretrained models like ResNet50, VGG16, EfficientNetB0 and ensemble methods with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were employed. This study evaluated the performance of these methods using metrics such as precision, recall, F1 score, and accuracy across different datasets. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of using ensembled features with PCA in improving the detection capabilities of the models. This study underscores the importance of leveraging traditional and advanced AI methodologies to effectively combat digital forgeries in various media types.

Mục tiêu : (1) Đặc điểm điểm MAGGIC ở người bệnh suy tim điều trị nội trú tại Viện Tim mạch Việt Nam, Bệnh viện Bạch Mai (2) Khảo sát giá trị của thang điểm MAGGIC để tiên lượng tỷ lệ tử vong và tái nhập viện trong 1 năm của người bệnh suy tim điều trị nội trú tại Viện Tim mạch Việt Nam, Bệnh viện Bạch Mai.
Đối tượng và phương pháp: Phương pháp nghiên cứu hồi cứu có theo dõi dọc. Nghiên cứu gồm 150 bệnh nhân suy tim tại Viện Tim mạch Việt Nam, Bệnh viện Bạch Mai. Bệnh nhân được thu thập các thông số lâm sàng, cận lâm sàng khi nhập viện và ra viện, chấm thang điểm MAGGIC, 3C-HF, EFFECT, ELAN-HF. Sau đó theo dõi trong 12 tháng kể từ khi ra viện bao gồm các biến cố tử vong do mọi nguyên nhân và tái nhập viện lần đầu do suy tim. Chúng tôi sử dụng đường cong ROC và chỉ số AUC để đánh giá khả năng tiên lượng tử vong và tái nhập viện của thang điểm MAGGIC, so sánh với một số thang điểm khác (3C-HF, EFFECT, ELAN-HF) đồng thời đánh giá hiệu quả tiên lượng của việc bổ sung NT-ProBNP vào thang điểm MAGGIC.
Kết quả: Điểm MAGGIC trung bình của dân số nghiên cứu là 20,7±7,3 với tỷ lệ tử vong sau 1 năm ra viện dự đoán là 10,2%. Thực tế trong thời gian theo dõi có 15,3% bệnh nhân tử vong, 20,5% bệnh nhân tái nhập viện, 32,7% bệnh nhân xảy ra biến cố gộp (tử vong hoặc tái nhập viện). Điểm MAGGIC ở nhóm bệnh nhân có biến cố (26,1±6,6) cao hơn rõ rệt so với nhóm không có biến cố (18,1±6,1) với p<0,05. Thang điểm MAGGIC có khả năng tiên đoán tử vong 12 tháng tốt (AUC=0,802, KTC 95%: 0,694 – 0,910), tiên đoán tái nhập viện mức độ trung bình (AUC=0,781, KTC 95%: 0,691 – 0,871), tiên đoán biến cố gộp tốt (AUC=0,809, KTC 95%: 0,737 – 0,881). So với thang điểm 3C-HF và EFFECT, thang điểm MAGGIC tiên lượng tái nhập viện và biến cố gộp tốt hơn nhưng tiên lượng tử vong không khác biệt. So với thang điểm ELAN-HF, tiên lượng tử vong, tái nhập viện và biến cố gộp là không khác biệt. Việc bổ sung NT - ProBNP vào thang điểm MAGGIC không làm tăng hiệu quả tiên lượng ở người bệnh suy tim.
Kết luận: MAGGIC là thang điểm đơn giản, dễ áp dụng, tiên lượng tử vong và biến cố gộp tốt ở bệnh nhân suy tim.

“Fieldwork” of a Technoscience Epistemologist
Authors: Mikeshin Mikhail I. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: November 2024

In addition to the already familiar “epistemology of concepts”, the article proposes a version of “field” epistemological research. Since the well-known approach of B. Latour is difficult to apply in domestic traditions, it is proposed to start with the most accessible – with the study of technoscientific texts, which exist in huge quantities and are widely available. It is possible to overcome the difficulties that arise when a scholar in the humanities reads technical texts, since any text, including technoscientific, has rhetorical characteristics. One of the characteristics of a technoscientific text is its “objectivity”, impersonality. The article provides examples of such texts from high-level journals. It is concluded that technoscientists use positivistic language in their articles with its concepts of objectivity, accuracy and facts. The authors of the articles place themselves in an imaginary position of an “impartial spectator”. Such language does not allow scientists to develop modern intra-scientific communication, to discuss such problems of technoscience that were previously considered “external” and without understanding of which modern science cannot develop. The transformation of the positivist language into a ritualized language of “common sense” of scientists is probably connected with the general tendency toward bureaucratization of science and the influence of the state. Mass higher education plays a huge role in the transmission of rules and standards. Another possible source of standardization of simplified language of description may be the publishers of scientific journals. Technoscientists themselves, although infrequently, express concern about the current state of affairs, since they find that the serious problems that arise before them not only cannot be solved, but also cannot be clearly formulated. Epistemologists, who have their own traditions and methods of research, could, in interaction with technoscientists, help the latter understand what kind of “prose” they write and speak and in what directions the professional languages and worldviews of technoscience can be advanced. Such interactions will also help the development of epistemology itself.
“Field” Epistemology: Perspectives and Difficulties. Reply to Critics
Authors: Mikeshin Mikhail I. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: November 2024

Summing up the discussion on “field” research in epistemology, we can say that its participants were very attentive to its theses and suggested several interesting ways of their development. Among these proposals is the study of the history of language and images of science used by Russian scientists, starting from the 18th century. An important example is the attempt in Europe and Russia to create a universal language understandable to all educated people, in which it would be possible to describe nature, science, and crafts. No less serious is the proposal to pay attention to the socio-cultural contexts of science and technology in Russia in the 19th century. In this field, we can encounter many concepts that will help us understand how to understand and describe scientific activity in Russian society with its historical features. Here, various optics are possible that enrich each other. An illustration using a specific example of how fruitful the interaction of different areas of the humanities can be – in this case, epistemology and linguistics – in the study of technoscientific texts is very important. The linguist helps with the rhetorical means used by the authors of the articles, and also offers a comparison of the rhetoric of the Russian language with the rhetoric of the modern universal scientific language – English. When a practitioner – a publisher of technoscientific journals – enters the discussion, we see how difficult it is today to organize interdisciplinary communication, even promising interesting results.
Galileo’s Truth
Authors: Fuller Steve ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: November 2024

This article considers the research ethics appropriate to Paul Feyerabend’s notorious ‘methodological anarchist’ approach to the history and philosophy of science, concluding that it might be especially appropriate for our ‘post-truth’ times. The article begins by noting that Feyerabend favorite historical figure, Galileo, appears Janus-faced in his corpus. The article focuses on the positive image of someone who broke institutionalized rules of inquiry in pursuit of a ‘higher truth’ that was fully realized by Newton and his successors. The logic of Galileo’s early seventeenth century situation was that decisions about permissible forms of inquiry and inference were based on mixed political and epistemic criteria – and that this was known, and sometimes admitted, by all parties. Galileo played with this ambiguity to some but by no means complete success, largely because he could not properly ground his ‘higher truth’. The article proceeds to show that Galileo’s situation was not unique but commonplace in the history of science, a point that has become clearer since the rise of archival historical research in the nineteenth century. Moreover, the institutional incentives to commit, cover up and detect what we now call ‘research fraud’ have been very uneven. Most such fraud has probably passed undetected sufficiently long to be incorporated in the body of accepted scientific knowledge. In recent years, however, increased attention has been given to research fraud due to the increased existential and financial stakes involved, which in turn have contributed to science’s larger legitimacy crisis in the post-truth era. The article ends on a Feyerabendian note, suggesting that research findings should include sunset clauses and statues of limitations.
Dawkins' Myth: The Rehgious Dimensions of Evolutionary Discourse
Authors: Johnson Davi ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

This essay examines the mythological functions of evolutionary naturalism through an analysis of Richard Dawkins' recent publication, The Ancestor's Tale (2004). Dawkins' tale provides a unique opportunity to consider the teleological dimensions of evolutionary thought. Dawkins articulates science in the mode of an historical narrative in order to avoid seeming to impute to evolution implicit teleological motives, such as direction or purpose. I suggest that the manner in which teleological notions are smuggled into this naturalistic account tells us something about the mythological character of evolutionary discourse. Although Dawkins might insist that The Ancestor's Tale simply makes use of amusing literary devices that are supplementary to the "core" of evolutionary doctrine proper, a rhetorical examination indicates that the mythological dimensions are not ancillary but essential. The theory cannot be entirely sundered from its telling, and Dawkins' tale serves to bring the inherent mythological dimensions of evolution, often cloaked or submerged, to the surface of discourse.
"I Am Full of Matter": A Rhetorical Analysis of Daniel Coker's A Dialoguie Between a Virginian and an African Minister
Authors: McClish Glen , Bacon Jacqueline ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

This rhetorical analysis features a text previously overlooked by communication scholars, African-American minister Daniel Cokefs 1810 abolitionist pamphlet, A Dialogue Between a Virginian and an African Minister. Focusing on the Dialogue's significance within the context of religious rhetoric, we demonstrate how the text exemplifies African-American religiously based arguments designed to do the hard work of engaging and moving the oppressor, rather than primarily the ally, in the struggle for abolition. Integral to this rhetorical effort are the development and application of an explicit biblical hermeneutic, perhaps the first recorded by an African American. Finally, Cokefs case against slavery, which transcends binary oppositions and easy classifications, challenges traditional conceptions of what constitutes effective religious argument.
Sacred Texts as Crucibles of Invention: Austin Phelps on the Art of Text Taking
Authors: Hirst Russel ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

The homiletic theory of Austin Phelps, Professor of Sacred Oratory at Andover TSfrom 1848-79, includes valuable typology and guidance for choosing sermon texts. His lectures on the topic, published in The Theory of Preaching (J 881) ojfjfer an "art of text taking'' that is representative of conservative, orthodox homiletics in nineteenthcentury America. Phelps was a powerful advocate of the traditional text-based sermon, and his homiletic process is based on the idea that homiletic invention begins in the moment of divine connection when the preacher finds the right text on which to base a sermon. He and his colleagues in the conservative preaching tradition faced opposition in this traditional stance. My article contemplates his teachings about choosing sermon texts as well as and his defense of Biblically based homiletic invention.
Posturels Plasticity and the Faithful Pose: The Revised General Instruction of the Roman Missal and the Discourse of Bodies
Authors: Ommen Brett R. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

The puhlication of revisions to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), the guide for the practice of the Catholic Mass, serves to reaffirm the meaningfulness of faithful bodies. This essay seeks to examine how conventions of vision serve to make bodies meaningful, as well as how the GIRM and critiques of the document negotiate the meaning of faithful bodies and how those contested meanings create different notions of individual and corporate identity. With a conception of how bodies become meaningful, the essay seeks to account for how discourses about bodily comportment inform and stand in for other discussions that confront Catholicism in America.
Identification Strategies for Unity: A Study of a Unity Movement among Christian Church Organizations
Authors: Driskill Gerald , Camp Jonathan W. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

This study explores the identification strategies used hy the "Nehemiah Group," a group of pastors who have united over 100 different churches in an urban renewal effort. This rhetorical analysis surfaced four identification strategies that are discussed in light of Burke (1970; 1972; 1973b) andCheney (1983b; 1987; 1990). Relationship building was the primary value embedded in each of the strategies. Prayer, as a rhetorical strategy, surfaced as an area meriting further study. Implications for developing communication theory and research that adequately capture inter-organizational unity efforts are presented.
Vanquishing Evil without the Help of God: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and a World Come of Age
Authors: Grigg Richard ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

One of the most distinctive religious features of the 1960s was the death of God theology. It is useful to look hack at the death of God movement from the perspective of communication studies. After all, the movement received unprecedented coverage in the popular media. More intriguing, however, is the specific fashion in which death of God theologian William Hamilton, one of the most influential figures in the discussion of the death of God, referred to particular aspects of the modem communication environment According to Hamilton, the communication technologies of the 1960s helped make it a world "come of age." In such a world, Hamilton averred, society no longer needed to depend upon God. More specifically, Hamilton singled out a particular television series of the 1960s, the spy drama The Man from U.N.C.L.E., as displaying characteristics of a world come of age. In an attempt to provide a careful analysis of just how U.N.C.L.E. accomplished this, this essay explores the show's consistent modernism, its explicit treatment of religion and spirituality, its approach to trans-national evil, its depiction of individual action, and how it treated the private domain. The sort of worldview analysis employed in the essay is relevant to looking at the role of belief in God, or lack of such belief, in other enacted fictional narratives.
Doing Teams While Being the Body: Managing Spiritual/Secular Dialectical Tensions of Defining the Church Collective through Transcendent Metaphor
Authors: Gribas John ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

This analysis explores incongruities between organizational metaphors as dialectical tensions. The focus is on "team" approaches in contemporary western evangelical Christian churches, particularly as reflected in church development literature from popular religious presses. Beginning in the 1990s, the team concept and label has been seen with increasing frequency in the world of evangelical Christianity (e.g., ministry teams, worship team, etc.). It can carry metaphoric associations tracing to the world of competitive professional sports and promoting a secular corporate focus on top-down control and reductionistic individual instrumentality. Such a focus stands in contrast to the way Christian churches have understood themselves collectively as spiritual "bodies"-more specifically, as the Body of Christ. This report first frames the recent development of the church team phenomenon as a rhetorical/metaphoric issue, provides examples of the variety of its conceptual manifestations, and offers critical assessment of the dialectical implications of promoting the team concept as a metaphor to guide the life of the church as body. Then a case study report further demonstrates how the body metaphor, with a spiritual focus on organic collective unity, and the team metaphor, consistent with a secular focus on instrumental needs, reflect and perpetuate the dialectical tension between collective being and doing. It also demonstrates the possibility of managing this tension by distinguishing between the team concept as a helpful guiding metaphor, and the body as a transcendent spiritual reality that serves to prioritize the focus on collective identification and unity.

Published: November 2024

Parallelization has become a cornerstone technique for optimizing computing performance, especially in addressing the growing complexity and scale of modern computational tasks. By leveraging concurrent processing capabilities of multi-core processors, GPUs, and distributed systems, parallel computing enables the efficient execution of large-scale problems that would otherwise be computationally prohibitive. This paper explores various parallelization techniques, including data parallelism, task parallelism, pipeline parallelism, and the use of GPUs for massive parallel computations. We also examine the key performance evaluation metrics such as speedup, efficiency, Amdahl’s Law, scalability, and load balancing that are critical in assessing the effectiveness of parallelization strategies. Through case studies in scientific simulations, machine learning, and big data analytics, we demonstrate how these techniques can be applied to real-world problems, offering significant improvements in execution time and resource utilization. The paper concludes by discussing the trade-offs involved in parallel computing and suggesting future avenues for optimizing parallelization methods in the context of evolving hardware and software technologies.

The Trap of Toxic Relationships in Dating: The Case of Five Female Students in Palu City
Authors: Lestari Sofya , Zaiful Zaiful , Moh. Nutfa Moh. Nutfa
Published: November 2024

Toxic Relationship becomes a trap in teenage dating relationships so that one party feels depressed and disadvantaged, even threatening life safety, especially for women. This study aims to explain the forms and motives for maintaining toxic relationships in dating relationships. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to explore the stories (cases) of five female students who were victims of toxic relationships in Palu City, Central Sulawesi. Data were obtained from in-depth interviews and brainstorming and reinforced from literature studies and news sources. Data were analyzed interpretatively. Data reliability was obtained from data triangulation. The results showed that the forms of toxic relationships in dating are physical violence, sexual harassment, verbal violence, intimidation, and possessiveness. The reasons why teenage girls maintain toxic relationships are because: (1) hope that the partner can change bad behavior to good; (2) the family has known each other; and (3) still have trust in the partner even though they have experienced physical violence, sexual violence and poor mental health. Getting out of a toxic relationship is not easy because the factors of hope for love, family, and trust are still the motives for maintaining a dating relationship.
Constantin Stere and the Romanian intellectuality from Transylvania (1906-1914)
Authors: Pantea Maria Alexandra
Published: November 2024

At the beginning of the 20th century, Constantin Stere stood out as an important man of culture, who was also active politically. He established the magazine „Viata Românească” from Iași, which became one of the most important publications of the era and through which the literary, social and political movement founded by him, Poporanism, spread throughout the Romanian space. To promote his ideas, he visited Transylvania as early as 1906 and established connections with personalities such as Octavian Goga. Knowing well the realities of Transylvania and being supported by Ion I.C. Brătianu and King Carol I, Stere had an important role in the political crisis in Transylvania, managing in 1912 to restore peace between the members of the Transylvanian Romanian political and intellectual elite. His role among the Romanians of Transylvania is reflected in several memoiristic writings of the era, as well as in the press of the time.

In the presence of various studies related to the translation of notarial documents, the theoretical directions of its peculiarities in terms of historical, theoretical and practical use denote a wide and unusual field of research, because a synthesis approach was applied to it, without being highlighted in a separate field and analysing it as a translation in general or simply ignoring it. In the works of contemporary theoreticians in the field, the scrupulous analysis of legal translations, of the problems in this sphere, as regards the place of the specialized language, the translation of notarial documents and translation studies at the international level and the rapid development of science, the intensity of intercultural exchanges, the need to accumulate, store and systematize information, concepts, knowledge from various special fields contributed to the emergence, consolidation and development of terminology.
Metaphor terms and intellectual migration
Authors: Mincu Eugenia , Macovei Dorina
Published: November 2024

Interdisciplinarity and intellectual migration are fundamental concepts in academia and research fields. They reflect changes and developments in approach, facilitating the integration of specialized knowledge. Interdisciplinary migration occurs according to: the innovation and creativity of terms, relevance and applicability, necessary transfer of knowledge, cultural and social influences, etc. The dynamism and mobility of metaphor terms allow their infiltration from one field of activity into another. The inter-/ intra, transdisciplinary intellectual migration and the hybridization of concepts generate the decrease in the degree of strict specialization of the specialized metaphors. The predisposition of metaphor terms to form the disciplinary corpus of several fields of activity, concept changes based on meronymy relationships, etc. – are the issues tackled in this article.
The correlation and interaction between language, thought and culture: theoretical approaches
Authors: Hirbu Stella
Published: November 2024

The correlation and interaction between language, thought and culture is one of the central issues in modern linguistics, with profound implications for understanding cultural identity and how language and culture influence each other. Thus, this study approaches the fundamental challenges of this interrelationship by integrating perspectives from different scientific fields, but does not aim at discussing the primary or secondary nature of these phenomena, but focuses on the close relationship between language and thought in the context of culture and reality. The concept of culture is approached from two fundamental perspectives: humanistic and anthropological. Culture, defined as everything created by man, includes language, symbols, and meanings in a complex process of communication. Language, considered the ,,mirror of culture”, reflects not only the real conditions of life, but also the social consciousness, mentality, and values of a community. Thus, the relationship between language and culture is bidirectional, in the sense that language takes on the richness of culture and culture is strongly linked to the specificity of a language. Language influences thinking and culture, and culture shapes language as a form of expression of cultural identity.

Published: November 2024

With the rapid expansion of cloud computing, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has become paramount. As organizations increasingly migrate their data and applications to the cloud, they encounter numerous cybersecurity risks that threaten the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of their information. Traditional risk assessment methods often fall short in addressing the dynamic and complex nature of cloud environments. This paper explores a novel approach to cybersecurity risk assessment in cloud computing using machine learning techniques. We propose a comprehensive framework that leverages machine learning algorithms to detect, predict, and mitigate potential cybersecurity threats. The framework incorporates various supervised and unsupervised learning models, including decision trees, support vector machines, and neural networks, to analyze large datasets and identify patterns indicative of security breaches. Our approach also includes feature selection methods to optimize the performance of these models by focusing on the most relevant risk factors. We conducted extensive experiments on publicly available cloud security datasets, which demonstrated the efficacy of our machine learning-based risk assessment framework in identifying threats with high accuracy and minimal false positives. The results indicate that our approach significantly outperforms traditional risk assessment techniques in terms of speed, scalability, and adaptability to evolving threat landscapes. This study contributes to the field by providing a scalable and efficient solution for enhancing cybersecurity in cloud environments. It highlights the potential of machine learning to revolutionize how we assess and manage cybersecurity risks, offering a proactive stance against emerging threats. Future work will focus on refining the model by incorporating real-time data and exploring advanced machine learning techniques such as deep learning and reinforcement learning to further enhance its predictive capabilities.

Published: November 2024

Monitoring and diagnosing the operating state of hydropower units is crucial, which becomes a hot research topic in the industry. the vibration signals provide a reliable indication to detect the abnormal working conditions of hydropower units. however, the vibration signals is affected by the environment noise inevitably, making it difficult to truly reflect the operating state of hydropower units. the non-local means (NLM) algorithm is proved to be effective in denoising the vibration signals, however, whose parameters depend on the human experience, which hinders its application and development. in the present work, based on the Bayesian parameter optimization (BPO), the parameters of NLM are set adaptively, the BPO-NLM denoising algorithm is proposed. by conducting the simulation, the denoising effectiveness of BPO-NLM is improved remarkably than that of the traditional NLM. at different snr, RMSE of the signal denoised by BPO-NLM is much smaller than that of the traditional NLM, while snr of the signal denoised by BPO-NLM is much larger, namely, the effective component of the signal is enhanced, while the noise component is suppressed.

This paper analyzes the active vibration control of sandwich beams using Active Constrained Layer Damping (ACLD). The finite element model of the viscoelastic sandwich beam combines finite element method with the Golla Hughes McTavish (GHM) model, using a 2-node 8 degrees freedom element. The finite element model is validated by the first four natural frequencies of the model in the literature, and the governing equations of sandwich beams are generated based on the Hamiltonian principle. The physical space dynamic condensation technique and state space complex mode decoupling method are employed to reduce the order of the structural model. This is necessary because free degree of the finite element model is too high to directly control the structure’s vibration. It shows that the fundamental physical characteristics of the structure may remain largely unchanged while the physical and state spaces are jointly reduced. We investigated how the positions and coverages of ACLD patches impact on the active control, vibration damping of viscoelastic sandwich beams.
