Authors: Borodina Olena , Prokopa Ihor , Rykovska Oksana
Published: March 2024

One of the vulnerabilities of Ukraine, which was highlighted by the use of food as a weapon in the Russian war against it, was its excessive raw material export orientation and weak internal rooting of the agri-food system, as well as the insufficient resilience of its local links. The purpose of this study was to substantiate the potential for strengthening local agri-food systems through the fuller involvement of small-scale agricultural producers with a focus on meeting the food needs of all segments of the population. The study employed the following methods: system analysis, grouping and classification, statistical analysis, formalisation, abstract and logical. The study covered the manifestations of Russia’s use of food to achieve political and military goals in Ukraine, as well as the role of small agricultural producers in mitigating their adverse consequences. It was found that the key to strengthening the sustainability of the agri-food system at both the local and national levels is to provide farm enterprises and household farms with diversified access to domestic markets by stimulating demand for their agricultural products. The study substantiated the forms of implementation of this task through the introduction of programmes of linked food subsidies for vulnerable groups of the population, public procurement from small producers for school meals, and promotion of solidarity food security at the community level. The study assessed the need for resources for these programmes and the potential of small farms to produce the necessary products, showing that the introduction of these programmes will facilitate the transition of agriculture to agroecology. The study also covered the possibility of financing measures to overcome the consequences of the use of food as a weapon while supporting small producers through the use of the National Bank’s targeted issue with partial involvement of budgetary funds within the framework of strengthening the national rootedness of the agri-food system, as well as donor support.The practical significance of the findings of this study lies in the possibility of their use in the implementation of food support measures for vulnerable groups and the preparation of a lawsuit to the International Criminal Court regarding the weaponisation of food by the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine.
Digging Deeper: What Can We Really Learn about Dementia from History?
Authors: Ballenger Jesse , George Daniel R. , Whitehouse Peter J.
Published: March 2024

In response to Finch and Burstein’s provocative argument that the advanced dementias may result from environmental toxins and lifestyle factors associated with post-industrial societies, we call for a more rigorous historical approach, emphasizing the importance of situating ancient texts more fully in their historical and cultural context. Such an approach would also entail consideration of the declining relative rates of dementia in Western countries, which have been linked to population health-level factors and policies that appear to have reduced the risk of dementia by directly and indirectly influencing the social determinants of brain health.
Optimal resource allocation in hierarchical organizations under uncertainty: An interval-valued n-person cooperative game approach
Authors: Xiao Yan , Liang Jinqian
Published: March 2024

In many real production scenarios, departmental organizations often exhibit a hierarchical structure, where departments cooperate with subordinate departments to optimize resource allocation and maximize their respective benefits. However, due to a lack of information or data, many model parameters in the allocation process cannot be precisely defined. In response to this challenge, an interval n-person hierarchical resource allocation model is proposed to achieve maximum economic benefit in uncertain environments. Based on the concepts of satisfactory degrees of comparing intervals and interval-valued cores of interval-valued n-person cooperative games, an auxiliary nonlinear programming model and method are developed to solve the interval-valued cores of such cooperative games. The approach explicitly considers the inclusion and/or overlap relations between intervals, whereas the traditional interval ranking method may not guarantee the existence of interval-valued cores. The proposed method offers cooperative opportunities under uncertain conditions. Finally, the feasibility and applicability of the models and methods are demonstrated through a numerical example and comparison with other methods.
Towards lightweight military object detection

Published: March 2024

Military object military object detection technology serves as the foundation and critical component for reconnaissance and command decision-making, playing a significant role in information-based and intelligent warfare. However, many existing military object detection models focus on exploring deeper and more complex architectures, which results in models with a large number of parameters. This makes them unsuitable for inference on mobile or resource-constrained combat equipment, such as combat helmets and reconnaissance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a lightweight detection framework. A CSP-GhostnetV2 module is proposed in our method to make the feature extraction network more lightweight while extracting more effective information. Furthermore, to fuse multiscale information in low-computational scenarios, GSConv and the proposed CSP-RepGhost are used to form a lightweight feature aggregation network. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed lightweight model has significant advantages in detection accuracy and efficiency compared to other detection algorithms.

Published: March 2024

Due to the polysemy and complexity of the Chinese language, Chinese machine reading comprehension has always been a challenging task. To improve the semantic understanding and robustness of Chinese machine reading comprehension models, we propose a model that utilizes adversarial training algorithms and Permuted Language Model (PERT). Firstly, we employ the PERT pre-training model to embed paragraphs and questions into vector space to obtain corresponding sequential representations. Secondly, we use a multi-head self-attention mechanism to extract key textual information from the sequence and employ a Bi-GRU network to semantically fuse the output feature vectors, aiming to learn deep semantic representations in the text. Finally, we introduce perturbations into the model training process. We achieve this by utilizing adversarial training algorithms such as Fast Gradient Method (FGM) and Projected Gradient Descent (PGD). These algorithms generate adversarial samples to enhance the model’s robustness and stability when facing diverse inputs. We conducted comparative experiments on the publicly available Chinese reading comprehension datasets CMRC2018 and DRCD. The experimental results show that our proposed model has achieved significant improvements in both EM and F1-Score compared to the baseline model. To validate the model’s generalization and robustness, we utilized ChatGPT to construct a scientific dataset that includes a large number of domain-specific terms, sentences with mixed Chinese and English, and complex comprehension tasks. Our model also performed remarkably well on the self-built dataset. In conclusion, the proposed model not only effectively enhances the understanding of semantic information in Chinese text but also demonstrates a certain level of generalization capability.

Characterising the physical demands of critical tasks across the Royal Australian Air Force
Authors: Carstairs Greg L. , Michael Scott W. , Groeller Herbert , Drain Jace R.
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: Militaries have historically utilised generic physical fitness tests to assess physical readiness, but there has been a recent shift to develop physical employment standards (PES) based on actual job demands. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this investigation was to characterise the physical demands of critical tasks performed by Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) personnel to inform PES development. METHODS: Job task analysis were performed for 27 RAAF trades. Criterion tasks were identified through a systematic approach involving workshops and field-observations. The identified tasks were assessed for dominant physical capacity and grouped into movement-based clusters. Psychophysiological measures were collected from personnel performing the tasks. RESULTS: Of 87 criterion tasks, 92% were characterised as manual handling dominant. Across these 87 tasks the principal physical capacities were: muscular strength (59%), muscular endurance (52%) and cardiorespiratory endurance (39%). The most common movement clusters were Lift to Platform (44%) and Lift and Carry (38%). Lift to Platform tasks required lifting to a median height of 1.32 m (1.20 –1.65 m) and a median mass of 25.0 kg (21.0 –28.9 kg) per person. Median carry mass was 25.0 kg (22.4 –36.1 kg) per person and distance was 26.0 m (17.5 –50.0 m). Median task mean ’Vdot;O2, HR and RPE were 1.8 L.min- 1 (1.5–2.2 L.min- 1), 137 b.min- 1 (120–144) and 13 (12–14). CONCLUSIONS: The high proportion of manual handling criterion tasks emphasises the importance of these activities and the underlying physical capacities for RAAF personnel. Current fitness assessments are unlikely to predict job task performance.

BACKGROUND: The stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the physical, mental, and social well-being of humans worldwide. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between the fear of COVID-19 and mental state of female employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 726 participants. Data was collected using the Personal Information Form, fear of COVID-19 scale, and brief symptom inventory. RESULTS: The fear experienced by women during the social isolation and quarantine period was associated with depression, anxiety, somatization, obsessive-compulsive disorder, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, phobic anxiety and paranoid experiences. CONCLUSION: Women, young people, the elderly and single individuals were most likely affected psychologically during the pandemic. Thus, interventions and psychological evaluations are recommended at an early stage to minimize this effect. Such interventions must be implemented considering the strategic planning and coordination of risk groups.

Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: Law enforcement (LE) applicant assessments and initial academy training vary greatly across the United States of America (USA), with 820+ academies operating across 50 different states. Rising obesity and declining physical fitness underscore the need for benchmarks of applicant physical performance. OBJECTIVE: Create a “point-in-time” descriptive profile of the performance of LE applicants and determine any differences between males, females, and age using two applicant test batteries (ATBs). METHODS: Archival data from one large USA LE academy were analysed. Applicants completed one of two ATBs; ATB1 (n = 1674): 68.8-meter agility run (AR), 60-s push-ups, 60-s sit-ups, 60-s arm ergometer revolutions, and 2.4 km run; ATB2 (n = 355): AR, 60-s push-ups, 60-s sit-ups, and a multistage fitness test. Data were coded for sex and age. Independent samples t-tests compared the sexes. A one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc analysis compared age groups (18– 24, 25– 29, 30– 34, 35– 39, 40 + years). RESULTS: Males outperformed females in all fitness assessments across both ATBs (p≤0.02). The 18– 24 age group demonstrated faster run times in the AR and 2.4 km for ATB1 compared to all groups. (p≤0.03). In ATB2, the 18– 24 age group was faster in the AR compared to all other groups except the 25– 29 age group (p≤0.026). CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of ATB used, females and older applicants generally would benefit from specific fitness training to better prepare for academy. Older applicants may experience greater challenges in running tasks, especially those involving sprinting, which could also be impacted by qualities important for running/sprinting (i.e., maximal strength and power).

On Probabilities in Quantum Mechanics
Authors: Helland Inge Svein
Published: March 2024

This is an attempt to clarify certain concepts related to a debate on the interpretation of quantum mechanics, a debate between Andrei Khrennikov on the one side and Blake Stacey and Rüdiger Schack on the other side. Central to this debate is the notion of quantum probabilities. I first take up the probability concept in the QBist school, and then give my own arguments for the Born formula for calculating quantum probabilities. In that connection I also sketch some consequences of my approach towards the foundation and interpretation of quantum theory. I discuss my general views on QBism as a possible alternative interpretation before I give some final remarks.

Водные ресурсы территории относятся к самым востребованным природным ресурсам для жизни человека. Дефицит воды всегда создает большие неудобства не только для нормального развития хозяйственной деятельности населения, но и является угрозой для существования. В связи с этим человек всегда в первую очередь осваивает территории с достаточными водными ресурсами. В то же время, избыточное количество воды также создаёт определенные проблемы для человека. К наиболее распространенным негативным последствиям воды является проблемы затопления и потопления населённых пунктов, сельскохозяйственных угодий, промышленных объектов и т.д. Наиболее подверженным к подобным последствиям воды являются равнинные территории, с замкнутым стоком. Незначительные уклоны водосборной поверхности снижает естественную дренированность территории накапливая атмосферные осадки в мелких понижениях, дополнительно создавая условия для подтопления территории. Проблема усиливается в результате антропогенной деятельности. Строительство зданий и сооружений, особенно линейных, нарушает гидрологический режим водосборной поверхности дополнительно создавая условия переувлажнения. Территория юга Западной Сибири имея плоско-западинный равнинный рельеф ежегодно подвергается затоплению и подтоплению. Повторяемость водных проблем зависит от водности года и в последнее десятилетие наблюдается тенденция их увеличения. Называевский район Омской области, расположенный в бессточной части Иртыш-Ишимского водораздела является типичным примером негативного воздействия вод. В статье рассмотрены основные причины затопления и подтопления Называевского района и мероприятия по их уменьшению с помощью водоотводного Мангутского водотока. Выполнена оценка состояния Мангутского водотока и предложены основные мероприятия по улучшению водопропускной способности.

Sifilis adalah penyakit infeksi menular seksual disebabkan bakteri Treponema pallidum dapat ditularkan melalui hubungan seksual, transfusi darah, dan vertikal dari ibu ke janin. Jika perempuan hamil menderita sifilis dapat terjadi infeksi transplasenta ke janin sehingga menyebabkan keguguran, lahir prematur, berat badan lahir rendah, lahir mati, atau sifilis kongenital. Diagnosis sifilis pada kehamilan ditegakkan berdasar anamnesis, manifestasi klinis, pemeriksaanlaboratorik, dan serologik. Skrining pada trimester pertama dengan tes non-treponema seperti rapid plasma reagin(RPR) atau venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) kombinasi dengan tes treponema seperti treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay (TPHA) merupakan hal penting pada setiap perempuan hamil. Manifestasi klinis sifilis ke janin bergantung pada usia kehamilan dan stadium sifilis maternal serta respons imun janin. Deteksi dini dan terapi adekuat penting untuk mencegah transmisi infeksi sifilis dari ibu ke janin.

Reproduction of Local Culture Exhibitions at Japanese Local Museums and Community Participation: Focusing on the Case of Urayasu City Museum
Authors:   Academic Association of Global Cultural Contents, Cho Sungsil
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to examine the reproduction of local history and the participation patterns of residents in exhibitions at local Japanese museums. According to data from the Agency for Cultural Affairs under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, there are more than 5,700 museums in Japan. Japan's rapid growth after its defeat in World War II accelerated the establishment of museums that store local history and folklore materials. Around 1993, 452 local museums with history and folklore themes were built. This can be interpreted as a measure to respond to the standardization of existing centrally oriented museums due to the triggering of awareness of issues such as local population decline and regional crises. Unlike central or tourism-oriented museums, museums established in local areas tend to focus on residents living in the area. The local museum examined in this study also considers local ‘people’, who put the concept of ‘hometown’ at the forefront, as a significant element of museum operation, and their participation becomes the basis of the local museum's identity. As the leading case covered in this paper, the Urayasu City Local Museum promotes citizen participation by turning the results from various local participation programs, such as collaboration with local schools, student curator system, and regional competitions to transmit local cultural heritage, into exhibition contents. Japanese local museums provide many implications for today's Korean society, especially in the current era where there is talk of local extinction due to population decline, the direction in which the ‘region’ should move, and the social role that museums should take.

Published: March 2024

Skin diseases are a major public health problem worldwide, requiring effective and timely diagnosis for effective treatment. In this paper, we present a new approach to automatically detect skin diseases using deep learning technology. The model we propose uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to analyze dermatological images with high accuracy, providing reliable and fast diagnosis. The system was trained on a variety of datasets to provide reliable performance across a variety of skin conditions. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms existing methods, demonstrating its potential for integration into clinical settings. Implementation of this deep learning-based skin disease detection system has the potential to revolutionize dermatological diagnostics and provide a cost-effective and scalable solution to improve patient care.
Cooler Bobbleheads Prevail: Bobblehead Character Type and Impact on Attendance at Major League Baseball Games
Authors: Cisyk Jeffrey
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Giveaways such as jerseys, caps, or bobbleheads are part of a host of promotions used to entice fans to purchase tickets and attend live events, particularly in sports. Bobbleheads have often been viewed as the bellwether giveaway in demand-side analytical studies as they are common across sport, league, and team and are viewed as highly prized collectable items. Empiricists typically code promotions as binary variables to measure the impact these additional perks have on attendance, yet each bobblehead event features a distinct figurine distinguished by several previously unexplored dimensions. Due to the nature of bobbleheads typically resembling real-life individuals, consumer sentiment toward the bobblehead’s namesake may drive or deter the demand for the giveaway. Using a novel dataset of descriptions of bobblehead giveaways, this study finds that demand for Major League Baseball games varies by a bobblehead’s character type, where the impact on attendance is greatest for bobbleheads featuring players and sportscasters, lowest for managers, and middling for mascots and other types. Evidence suggests that bobbleheads depicted in costumes or as characters of licensed brands lead to greater attendance than brandless bobbleheads, yet the gains observed from the average branded bobblehead game may not offset the additional costs associated with licensing agreements.
Making Sense of Stimuli-Local Image Fit in the Sport Venue: Mediating Effects of Sense of Home and Touristic Experience on Local and Visiting Spectators
Authors: Hwang Yongjin , Ballouli Khalid , Bernthal Matthew J. , Choi Wanyong
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Prior scholars provide empirical evidence of how sensory experiences can positively influence spectators’ satisfaction, and the effectiveness of utilizing sense-centric experiences is enhanced when marketers integrate unique characteristics of the local culture into sensory experiences in the venue. The recently developed stimuli-local image fit (SIF) scale measures the effectiveness of this process; however, the SIF scale needs further investigation based on differences between local and visiting spectators. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential mediating effects of sense of home and touristic experience in relation to perceptions of SIF for these two groups. Study participants ( N = 402) were recruited by means of an online survey and included 204 local and 198 visiting spectators of home and away events, respectively. The results from structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed significant mediation effects of sense of home and touristic experience on prior established relationships between SIF and different outcomes.

Published: March 2024

This research analyses the shift from the male gaze to the female gaze in K-pop girl groups impacted by the #MeToo movement in South Korea. The shift is marked by the thriving of women empowerment ideas by girl groups. This research uses the Transnational Advocacy Network (TAN) and postfeminism, examined using qualitative research methodology with secondary and textual analysis. This research finds that the shifting from the male gaze to the female gaze in K-pop girl groups occurred through the shift from objectification to subjectification of women, focusing on individualism, choice, and empowerment, as well as showing irony and knowingness. Therefore, the #MeToo movement has impacted the K-pop industry because the gaze has shifted, and Korean society has started to accept idols supporting women's empowerment and gender equality

The connected home: Smart automation enables home energy management
Authors: Kim Chris
Published: March 2024

In recent years, we’ve all been hearing a lot about the connected home, the smart home and the Internet of Things (IoT). Some of our friends and family may have talked about their smart thermostat that they can adjust using their mobile phone, and we saw media stories in 2014 about the $3.2 billion acquisition of prominent smart thermostat vendor, Nest Labs. We’ve heard of the coffee pot turning on when our home senses that we’ve gotten out of bed. We live in a world where Internet connectivity and smart phone ownership is near ubiquitous. Underlying and complementing these factors is the IoT. The cloud, mobile computing and social technologies make the connected home possible. Another key component, however, is energy. Not only the energy to power the interconnected devices that comprise the smart home, but more importantly, the energy that can be measured, controlled and managed.

HTA regulation: how is Italy moving?
Authors: Patarnello Francesca
Published: March 2024

Within the European evolutionary framework concerning citizens’ health, the focus shifts to the new HTA regulation, set to alter processes and influence decision-making at the individual country level regarding reimbursement and pricing. The ambitious goal of achieving faster and more uniform access will significantly reshape the evaluative model stabilized over the years, characterized by the creation of different rules and processes among member states and diverse output timelines across the countries.
The imminent adoption of a more collaborative process necessitates member countries and companies to address several steps to ensure a smooth transition without penalizing the unique aspects of individual countries or impeding real access. Italy, actively participating in European preparatory activities with AIFA, faces challenges in adapting its formal process due to AIFA’s ongoing reform since November 2022, which is not yet materialized.
National-level companies heavily depend on leadership and involvement rules from their HTA agencies, with the risk that agencies with more established engagement models with external stakeholders may present themselves on January 12, 2025, the start date of the new process for oncological and ATMP drugs, better prepared and may excel in designing scoping meetings and in formulating PICO.
Therefore, the activation of a country culture of HTA and a robust and extended “readiness” phase involving all stakeholders are desirable, along with the establishment of collaboration networks with universities and scientific societies to make valuable knowledge and qualified resources more readily available, crucial element for the delicate transition from the old to the new evaluative system.
