Iconografía de la mirada literaria: una interpretación ovidiana del llamado Mosaico Nilótico de Mérida (nº 9 del corpus de MRH-MRM)
Authors: García-Manso Angélica , Tovar Paz Francisco Javier
Published: April 2024

El denominado Mosaico Nilótico de Mérida (nº 9 del corpus de MRH-MRM) fue encontrado antes de mediados del siglo XIX. Desde su hallazgo era evidente el carácter extraordinario de su diseño, aunque, lamentablemente, la superstición popular destrozó en gran medida el pavimento, no sin que antes se lograra dibujar un boceto de su contenido, además de conservarse numerosos restos, de forma que ha podido ser reconstruido y se encuentra expuesto en el Museo Nacional de Arte Romano de Mérida. En el mosaico se combinan elementos exóticos, culturales y sobre el ciclo anual, sin que se haya logrado postular hasta el momento una interpretación de conjunto. No obstante, parece posible llevar a cabo una lectura integradora a partir del mito de la contienda entre Musas y Piérides relatado en las Metamorfosis ovidianas. Dicha lectura confiere unidad a la amalgama de motivos iconográficos e incluso puede explicar la opción por una técnica predominantemente dicromática acorde con los colores de las urracas en que fueron transformadas las Piérides y acorde también con un precepto de la creación literaria que precave contra la hybris.

Authors: Komekbay Zh. , Temirova G.
Published: April 2024

Relevance: Gastric cancer continues to lead the cancer incidence structure. One of the directions of a comprehensive plan to reduce the
incidence of malignant neoplasms is the development a highly efficient early diagnostics based on the relationship between the expression of
the cell proliferation marker Ki-67 in gastric cancer with age, sex, stage of the disease and the degree of tumor differentiation according to
immunohistochemical analysis.
The study aimed to study the relationship between the expression of the Ki-67 marker in gastric cancer and age, sex, stage of the disease,
and the degree of tumor differentiation.
Methods: The research design is a comparative descriptive study. For the study, surgical material was used from 109 patients with gastric
cancer stages 0-IIIC, obtained during gastric cancer operations from the pathology department of the West Kazakhstan Marat Ospanov
Medical University (WKMOMU) Medical Center from 2021 to 2022. Histological and immunohistochemical studies were conducted at the
morphological laboratory of the Department of Histology of WKMOMU. The obtained data was statistically processed.
Results: The present study showed a significant statistical correlation between the Ki-67 level and the histopathological grade of gastric
cancer (p=0.039).
The indicators such as ‘pTNM stage’ (p=0.894), ‘Age’ (p=0.664), ‘Sex (F – 1, M – 2)’ (p=0.928), and ‘Tumor localization (cardiac – 1, body – 2,
antral and pyloric – 3)’ (p=0.866) did not statistically significantly correlated with the Ki-67 expression level.
Conclusions: The relationship between Ki-67 expression and histopathological grade (p=0.039) in gastric cancer helps identify patients
with aggressive tumors that require adjuvant therapy.

Authors: Imasheva B. , Kamaliev М. , Lokshin V. , Shinbolatova A. , Kiseleva M. , Turekhanova A. , Jexembekova A.
Published: April 2024

Relevance: Cancer of the uterine body (CUB) is one of the most common types of malignant neoplasms and ranks 6th among the most
frequently diagnosed cancers in women in the world. Despite the improvement of treatment methods, the incidence and mortality from CUB
remain high. According to forecasts by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, by 2040, the incidence of CUB is expected to increase
by more than 50%. Therefore, studying the epidemiological features of CUB is important for developing prevention and treatment strategies.
The study aimed to analyze the morbidity and mortality from CUB in the female population of Almaty in 2012-2022.
Methods: The material for the study was data from the information system «Electronic Register of Inpatient Patients» on newly
identified cases and those registered at the dispensary with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of CUB «Malignant neoplasm of the
uterine body» (From 54 to ICD-10) of the population of Almaty for the period from 2012 to 2022. Epidemiological indicators were calculated
per 100,000 female population. The absolute growth, growth rate, and visibility indicators were calculated to analyze changes in intensive
indicators over time. The database was formed, and the results were statistically processed using Microsoft Excel and the SPSS Statistics
26 statistical package.Results: There was an increase in the crude incidence of CUB in the female population of Almaty in 2012-2022 by 3.14 times. The incidence
of CUB increased with age, where the peak incidence was noted in the age group of 60-64 years (58.9±8.68 cases per 100,000 female population
95% CI = 39.5-78.2). Mortality from CUB decreased from 13.5 cases in 2012 to 1.3 cases per 100,000 female population in 2022 (10.4 times).
Conclusion: The conducted epidemiological analysis showed the need for further detailed study of the risk factors contributing to the
occurrence of CUB and improvement of the activities of health services, starting from the primary health care level.
RELEVANCE OF OVARIAN PRESERVATION
IN YOUNG WOMEN WITH EARLY-STAGE
ENDOMETRIAL CANCER AFTER HORMONAL
AND SURGICAL TREATMENT:
A COMPREHENSIVE LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Tazhibayeva K. , Sadykova A. , Olzhaev S. , Adzhibaev B. , Mussina A. , Khassanova M. , Baimukhametov K. , Adiyev M.
Published: April 2024

Relevance: Ovarian preservation in young women with early-stage endometrial cancer after surgical treatment has been conventionally associated with complications. Nevertheless, recent randomized studies suggest a different perspective.
The study aimed to clarify the occurrence of complications, in particular relapses, associated with ovarian preservation in young
women after hormonal and surgical treatment for early-stage endometrial cancer.
Methods: The analysis included articles published in full text over the past 10 years. We identified relevant observations from studies using a comprehensive search in the following databases: PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library. The search strategy
included terms related to endometrial cancer: premenopausal, young woman, endometrial cancer, ovarian conservation. The study
followed the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews.
Results: A total of 178 articles were studied, of which 111 articles (literature reviews and meta-analyses) (62%) described the
cases of ovarian preservation. Of these, 84 were excluded for various reasons; 29 eligible articles were included in this analysis.
Notably, factors such as younger age (P<0.0001), later year of diagnosis (P=0.03), residence in Central and Southern Europe and
the United States (P=0.02), and lower-grade tumors in Asian countries (P<0.002) correlated with the desire of women to preserve
their ovaries. The conducted literature review showed that ovarian preservation did not significantly affect cancer-specific survival
(risk ratio (HR) =0.78, 95% CI 0.17-2.74) or overall survival (HR=0.78, 95% CI 0.24-1.75).
This study’s results remained practically unchanged even after excluding women after radiation and hormone therapy.
Conclusion: This literature review revealed no statistically significant difference in relapse-free survival between patients after
ovarian preservation at stage IA and partially at stage II com-pared to those after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

Published: April 2024

Workforce, by becoming more acquainted and versed in recent times proposes a predicament for managers who have years of experience at their hand. Managers who had been part of an organization for handsome numbers of years, expect to have a steadfast position, but get insecure in presence of competent and proficient subordinates, hence the dilemma has its toll on both workforce and organization. The germination of hostile behavior in response to insecurity, considered as workplace ostracism is a contaminant for the physical and mental well-being of the victim and thus has adverse outcomes in the form of emotional exhaustion.
This paper aimed at studying the impact of managers’ feeling of insecurity on emotional exhaustion of employee, through mediating effect of managers’ perception of competent subordinates and subordinates’ feeling of ostracism. In fact an effort was made to examine the complexities of competent workforce behavior and response of managers towards their competent subordinates. In current experiential research, hypotheses were developed and a structured questionnaire, comprising part A (for HODs and Professors) & part B (for all other faculty members), was used to conduct research survey, adopting convenient sampling technique. A sample of 180 respondents was chosen for statistical analysis of the data. The data were treated using statistical tools including Cronbach’s Alpha, Chi square, Regression analysis, CFA and Process Hayes, with help of software SPSS version 23. Findings of the study support all hypotheses have been accepted and manager’s feeling of insecurity does translate into behavior that is conceived ostracism by the subordinate. Managers’ insecurity is also a potential cause for ostracism and emotional exhaustion. When managers are insecure, they perceive the competent subordinates as challengers, rather than colleagues. The study is considered quite useful for the management of higher education sector / public sector Universities. It is equally beneficial for the researchers and academicians and other public and private educational institutions.

Settler Mimicry: Colonization and Decolonization through Imitation
Authors: Anzi Achia
Published: April 2024

This article explores the dynamics of settler mimicry in Israel—Palestine and its manifestations in the visual arts. It probes the operation of mimicry as a colonial strategy but also emphasizes its decolonial potential. Although imitation of the Palestinian natives enables Israeli settlers to annex the territory, this article suggests that mimicry can be delinked from its colonial registers and transform the settlers’ worldview. This analysis seeks to expand the insights of Patrick Wolfe, who saw the elimination of the natives as the central feature of settler colonialism. By highlighting instances in which the settler mimics the native, this article challenges his reductionist framework, which pins colonial projects to their materialist objectives. Whereas exploitation colonialism uses the colony’s resources, Wolfe contends, settler colonialism is geared toward the seizure of land, and hence toward physical and ideological elimination of the native. This article, on the other hand, emphasizes the complexity of settler colonialism and foregrounds the tension between the cultural apparatuses of elimination and mimicry. While imitation facilitates the indigenization of settlers, it also highlights the presence of natives. This internal tension renders the operation of settler colonialism ambiguous and thus can be utilized to decolonize Zionism.

Natural pigments, like betalains found in beets, are sensitive to environmental conditions, which may impact their reactivity and shelf-life. Microencapsulation is an attractive alternative for delivering these compounds, offering protection through polymeric microcapsules. The aim of this study was to compare two ionic gelation methodologies, external (EG) and internal gelation (IG), in the microencapsulation of beet aqueous extract. Particles were obtained by mixing sodium alginate with the aqueous extract of beetroot and crosslinking with calcium chloride solution using the extrusion method. Encapsulation characteristics and physical, morphological features were evaluated. The particles showed 10.72 and 89.90% encapsulation efficiency for EG and IG, respectively. Loading capacity was 18.90% for EG and 25.60% for IG. Those IG particles showed superior water absorption capacity during rehydration. Texture analysis indicated that EG particles showed greater hardness. Release kinetics indicated that EG particles followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, while IG particles followed the Higuchi model. Thus, the appropriate encapsulation technique should be selected depending on the food matrix to be used and the specific objective of delivering the active encapsulated molecules.

Authors: Ritonga Amir Saypuddin , Nasution Abdul Fattah
Published: April 2024

The lack of student competence in learning the Qur'an is consistent with the lack of student learning outcomes. One of the efforts that is commonly used to overcome this problem is implementing the tahfiz Qur'an program. The program not only increases religiosity and character, but also improves learning outcomes. In this regard, this study aims to analyze the implementation of the tahfiz program in improving student learning outcomes in Islamic religious education lessons. SDIT Tahfizil Qur'an Islamic Center became the research location because it is indeed the basis for the tahfiz educational institution. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques of observation, interviews and documentation studies. The primary data source is the homeroom teacher for class II, while the secondary sources are from documents of learning tools and relevant literature. The results of the study explained that the process of tahfiz Qur'an was carried out using the Murajaah method and the talqin method. In the implementation there are supporting factors namely, parents participating in helping murajaah at home, and inhibiting factors namely some students are not yet able and accustomed to reading the Qur'an. The research implications show that the success of the tahfiz program is influenced by the collaboration of parents and educators in maintaining memorization and making it easier for children to implement the content of verses in everyday life.

Discriminating Superimposed Alteration Associated with Epigenetic Base and Precious Metal Vein Systems in the Rouyn-Noranda Mining District, Quebec; Implications for Exploration in Ancient Volcanic Districts
Authors: Schofield Marina D. , Lafrance Bruno , Gibson Harold L. , Howard Poulsen K. , Scheffer Christophe , Quesnel Benoît , Beaudoin Georges , Hamilton Michael A.
Published: April 2024

The Rouyn-Noranda mining district of Quebec contains 20 Cu-Zn (±Au ±Ag) volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits, including the giant and gold-rich Quemont and Horne deposits. Mineralized epigenetic veins are also present, but their origin and relative timing remain enigmatic. The nature and extent of their alteration signatures and the effect of their superposition on district-scale alteration patterns is unknown. The VMS-related quartz-sulfide Cu-Zn-Ag veins have δ18Oquartz values of 8.5 ± 0.8‰, reflecting δ18Ofluid compositions of –0.4 to 3.1‰ (250°–350°C) that are typical of Archean seawater. They are associated with a proximal Fe-rich chlorite alteration and marginal spotted sericite-chlorite alteration with whole-rock δ18O values of 2.9 to 5.9‰ and are interpreted to have formed within the structurally controlled discordant upflow zones of a VMS hydrothermal system. Younger gold-bearing quartz-carbonate veins were emplaced along mechanical anisotropies created by mafic dikes during north-south compression and the formation of regional E-trending faults, folds, and cleavage. They are characterized by δ18Oquartz values of 11.3 ± 0.8‰, reflecting δ18Ofluid compositions of 2.4 to 5.9‰ (250°–350°C), typical of a metamorphic fluid, possibly mixed with a lower δ18O upper crustal fluid. They are associated with ankerite, calcite, muscovite, chlorite, albite, and quartz ± hematite alteration with whole-rock δ18O values of 5.8 to 10.3‰. Chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionization mass spectrometry (CA-ID-TIMS) U-Pb zircon ages for two tonalite intrusions constrain the maximum age of the Cu-Zn-Ag veins to 2697.6 ± 0.7 Ma and the minimum age to 2695.3 ± 1.0 Ma, which is also the maximum age of the gold quartz-carbonate veins. Superposition of alteration related to the gold quartz-carbonate veins on previously chlorite- and sericite-altered rocks has resulted in mixed alteration signals with whole-rock δ18O values of ~6 to 8‰ that have perturbed and masked regional alteration patterns related to older VMS mineralization, such as those found in the Quemont and Horne deposits. These results indicate that defining alteration vectors in camps that have superimposed hydrothermal systems requires full consideration of the hydrothermal history of the camp, and if such constraints are lacking, whole-rock δ18O values should not be used as a stand-alone exploration method.

Authors: Tuan Dang Anh
Published: April 2024

This study focuses on predicting the needs, purposes, and usability of accounting information in general-purpose financial reports (GPFRs) to improve accounting theory significantly. Accounting reform in the public sector aims to provide reliable and valuable information to users. The study surveyed 374 public organizations using a survey questionnaire between March and June 2023. Collected data were tested for reliability using Cronbach's Alpha coefficient and regression analysis using SPSS 29 software. The research findings indicate that users of accounting information (AI) within an organization have a greater need for and a better understanding of the usefulness of AI compared to external users; users in the public sector tend to use AI more frequently for accountability purposes; and AI for decision-making plays a more significant role compared to AI for accountability in terms of enhancing organizational performance. The findings have important practical implications. Firstly, accountability should be prioritised when developing a GPFR framework for the public sector. Secondly, in order to increase the usability of the AI, it is important to improve the ability of external users to understand and use the information on GPFRs. Finally, the strength of the connection between internal and external information users determines the level of usability of accounting information.

Background & Objectives: Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) technology was widely used to screen the aptamers that bind the target protein safely and efficiently. Our study aimed to screen aptamers for anti-depression via binding to the 5-HTR to block 5-HT re- uptake.
Methods: The prokaryotic expression plasmid was constructed and the recombinant 5-HT1AR (mice) was expressed and purified. The ssDNA aptamer that bound 5-HT1AR specifically was screened by SELEX (Enzyme-linked Oligonucleotide assay), and the binding sites and relative binding strength of ssDNA were detected. At the same time, ssDNA aptamer inhibitory protein uptake and against depression was verified in cellular level and mouse depression model.
Results: The recombinant 5-HT1AR protein was purified successfully. After 12 rounds of positive screening and 5 rounds of negative screening, four aptamers with high affinity and specificity were obtained and the same epitope was bounded by four aptamers using ELONA (Enzyme-linked Oligonucleotide assay). The uptake of 5-HT was influenced by aptamer 18 in vitro, and the improvement of depression state in mice after intravenous injection of aptamer 18 was proved by tail suspension experiment in mice.
Conclusions: Aptamer is expected to be a new type of antidepressant, which can be used in the treatment of depression.
DiffTransfer: A Person Portrait Style Transfer Method Based on Stable Diffusion
Authors: Wang Jizheng
Published: April 2024

With the widespread adoption of high-performance GPUs, NPUs, and other devices in recent years, the threshold for deploying large models on the edge has gradually lowered. Meanwhile, as social networks continue to thrive and virtual reality technology advances rapidly, there is an urgent demand for individuals to possess a realistic virtual identity to meet the ever-evolving social needs. In this context, portrait style transfer has attracted growing research interest. Different from the previous works that mainly follow the pipeline of generative adversarial network or variational autoencoder, this research proposes a method for person portrait style transfer based on the stable diffusion model. By pre-training underlying models, users only need to upload a small number of photos to generate corresponding LORA models for individuals. The approach involves style fusion using textual prompts and other models to modify portrait styles and generate images of individuals in different poses. Extensive visualization results validate the effectiveness of this work, which is able to generate realistic portrait images of people with different styles.
Authenticating Account Balances in the Bitcoin Ecosystem via Merkle Trees
Authors: He Zichen
Published: April 2024

Bitcoin, as the trailblazing cryptocurrency, has profoundly impacted global markets and stands as a formidable contender to traditional financial paradigms. Yet, even within the sophisticated framework of Bitcoin, there remains potential for enhancement. Within the Bitcoin ecosystem, lightweight nodes operate without storing all transaction details. Instead, they retain only the block headers' content and specific transactional data pertinent to their own operations. To authenticate a transaction's presence in the blockchain, these lightweight nodes seek a Merkle proof from the full nodes. However, a challenge arises when lightweight nodes aim to validate the accuracy of their account balances sourced from full nodes. The latter relies on a data structure known as the Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXO) for streamlined balance computation. In contrast, lightweight nodes grapple with ascertaining the veracity of such balance calculations. A viable solution lies in leveraging the available space in every block's coinbase transaction, which permits arbitrary modifications. By arranging the UTXO within a Merkle tree structure and embedding its root into the coinbase transaction's available space, account balance verification for lightweight nodes can be significantly enhanced using the Merkle proof. While such modifications to the Bitcoin protocol might trigger soft forks, the risk of hard forks remains absent.

Authors: Li Lin
Published: April 2024

While social networks offer users unprecedented convenience and connectivity, they inadvertently risk exposing sensitive user data. To address the juxtaposition of utility and vulnerability, this paper delves into the potential of blockchain technology as a tool for enhancing privacy protection within social networks. By first critiquing the limitations of current protective measures, it becomes clear where traditional methods fall short in counteracting common avenues of privacy breaches. This paves the way for the integration of blockchain technology into the privacy infrastructure of social networks. The paper elucidates the core cryptographic principles underpinning blockchain and, by drawing from real-world applications such as ShoCard, underscores the advantages that this nascent technology brings to the fore. Despite the evident merits, challenges remain, especially as the technology becomes a potential target for advanced cyber-attacks. The incorporation of elements like smart contracts, digital signatures, and decentralized storage manifests blockchain's promise in building a robust digital fortress, safeguarding user privacy. However, as the technology is still in its evolutionary phase, ongoing research must address vulnerabilities and ensure a holistic defense against potential threats.

Judging from the economic development situation in recent years, the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuation will be affected by the exchange rate, not only for domestic and foreign trade but also for the cost of enterprises and individuals. Therefore, in view of this crucial problem, in this study, BP(Back Propagation) synthetic neural network is drilled by the opening price of the day in order to predict the closing price in the next day. The method is to divide 5000 groups of data into 4000 training sets and 1000 test sets. Single hidden layer neural network is adopted, and the number of nodes is determined to be 6 and 15 through the experiment of the influence of the quantity of nodes on model performance. The simulation test show that the root mean square errors in the prediction set and the verification set are very small, which are 0.0004 and 0.0006 respectively, so the neural network has good accuracy in forecasting the closing price of the next day, and some opinions on this model are also given.
Face Mask Classification Based on the Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Qu Youyang
Published: April 2024

The worldwide emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has instigated widespread anxiety. In an effort to curb the virus's transmission, the adoption of mask-wearing has steadily become more prevalent. Numerous public facilities now require individuals to wear masks upon entry and exit. Within this framework, the effective and economical identification of mask-wearing individuals has become a growing priority, and deep learning has demonstrated its capability to address this need. Utilizing a dataset consisting of 440 provided images, the current experiment employed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to determine the presence or absence of masks on individuals. The experimental process encompassed dataset segmentation, CNN model construction, model training, and performance evaluation with the objective of attaining the best-performing model. The research revealed that, within a specific range, an increase in the number of layers corresponded to an enhancement in the CNN's performance. Remarkably, at 13 layers, the CNN achieved its highest accuracy, reaching 93.18%, with a recorded lowest loss value of 0.1608. Despite this, the CNN model's accuracy decreased as a result of an increase in the convolutional kernel size, which was accompanied by variations in the loss value. After multiple iterations of experimentation, the optimal convolutional kernel size was determined to be 3x3.  In the quest for a more effective means of detecting mask compliance in public spaces, this study underscores the potential of deep learning techniques, particularly CNNs, and highlights the significance of carefully configuring model architecture for optimal results.

Authors: Zhang Lanxin
Published: April 2024

Face recognition helps people to determine the features and characteristics of a face, which in turn helps the police to find criminals, reduce the crime rate and ensure the safety of the society. In order to further improve the performance of face recognition, the main objective of this research is to collect a large amount of face information using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to achieve effective recognition. Specifically, first, a code is used in the annotation to define the coordinates of the face. This function converts the classification labels into numbers that can be understood by the model. Second, generate targets in order to parse the annotation file and obtain objects from it. Third, a CNN model is constructed. The features in the data are captured using the adaptive weights of the CNN. In addition, the predictive performance of different models is analysed and compared. In addition, the objective function will transform the face coordinates of the file attached to the boxed list, which helps to acquire the commanded faces in the image file. It is shown through experiments that the proposed model can perform face recognition effectively. The proposed program in this paper can provide valuable thoughts and insights to the field.
