A Self-Identification Typology of Endurance Sport Participants
Authors: Myburgh Esmarie , Kruger Martinette
Published: January 2022

Endurance sport participants cannot be regarded as homogenous, and no single marketing effort will satisfy all the individuals' needs. Endurance participants have been segmented based on a variety of bases. The current research moves away from the traditional segmentation bases and
implements a novel segmentation base, namely self-identification (how participants classify themselves). An online survey resulted in 498 completed questionnaires from South African endurance sport participants. Self-identification proved to be a useful segmentation base as it revealed five
segments (average, recreational, intermediate, hard-core, and veteran participants) with specific characteristics and needs. Furthermore, self-identification and their perceived skill level are directly linked to the level of commitment, lifestyle adaption, specific event attributes.
The five segments identified will always be present at any endurance event, and therefore, this research helps event managers determine the appropriate outlets and messages to market their events.
Africa's 4th Industrial Revolution Post Covid-19: A Tale of Shenzhen's Enviable Successes.
Authors: Mutuku Richard Kyalo
Published: January 2022

Africa is likely to miss the prospects of the 4th industrial revolution if governments and policymakers do not take the abundance of caution. In the last two centuries, three discoveries changed the world¬— the steam engine, industrial revolution, and internet. Africa had no stake in any of those discoveries. As developed countries industrialized in the 18th and 19th centuries, the African continent was still reliant on primordial food and material production technologies. Unfortunately, a similar trend is repeating itself, exacerbated by the effects of COVID-19. While advanced nations are transitioning(ed) to digital investments in areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, mechanized agriculture, 3D printing, and the internet of things, Africa appears to saunter. Not so many African countries are aligning themselves to exploit the opportunities that will come with the economic and social disruptions of the 4th industrial revolution. Challenges such as internet penetration, skill mismatch, poverty, poor governance, inequality, lack of modernization of agriculture, and improper structuring of economies will delay the revolution or truncate it elsewhere in the world. Besides, the COVID-19 pandemic presents new challenges undergirded by disruptions in global supply chains, slow economic projections, and inequalities in mass vaccination in the continent. However, Africa and its leadership can take deliberate, methodical, and timely interventions to seize the moment and lift its population from poverty and dependency. In this study, the author proposes a hybridized model embodying reverse engineering, infrastructural investment, special economic zones, and digital investment as the panacea for expediting Africa's prospects in seizing the possibilities of the 4th industrial revolution pegged on the successes of Shenzhen.

Published: January 2022

This research investigated the relationship between socioeconomic characteristics and male contraceptive uptake in Kenya. A survey of 572 randomly selected male respondents participated in the study. The study assessed the respondents’ socioeconomic profiles such as the location of residence, age, marital status, polygyny, family size, education attainment, working status and income level. The age of the respondents ranged from 18 to 60 years. Chi-square results indicated significant relationships between male contraceptive uptake and socioeconomic characteristics such as location of residence (p = 0.005), age (p = 0.005), marital status (p = 0.005), family size (p = 0.021), education attainment (p = 0.005) and income level (p = 0.032). The study concluded that men’s area of residence, age, marital status, desired number of children, level of education and level of income had a significant influence on male contraceptive uptake. It is recommended that there is a need to develop male-friendly and acceptable contraceptive options for men besides condoms and vasectomy, with the view of increasing contraceptive uptake among males in Kenya.

Authors: Kusuma I Made Wirahadi , Pasek Subawa I Made
Published: January 2022

Education is not only teaching that emphasizes on cognitive aspects, mastery of academic subjects, and not the development of the character of students towards the environmental reality which is religiously pluralistic. Therefore, although many educational institutions teach about the differences and respect for pluralism and comparative religion, it only comes to a cognitive understanding of each religion and does not know how to behave outside the religious discipline. It has big impact on humanitarian crises, not only at a concrete level in the form of physical culture, but also in non-physical forms which related to changes in attitudes, behavior and values ​​of life. The presence of the Sai Study Group Denpasar (SSGD) religious study group gave a new model to the pattern of religious education amidst the polarization of the development of religious study groups in Bali, especially in the formation of intellectual and character building. Religious education at SSGD contains acts of cognition, not just transfer of knowledge, verbalism, and education banking.

Published: January 2022

Efforts to save and prevent coastal tourism areas from the threat of abrasion and the threat of monopoly on the use of areas by certain parties need to be pursued, so that the existence of coastal areas that are used as tourist destinations can provide comfort for the user community. As an area that respects local wisdom inherited from its ancestors, Bali always implements policies that are in line with its local wisdom, one of which is the teachings of Tri Hita Karana. In an effort to save and develop a beautiful and comfortable coastal tourism area, it is necessary to design a development system that is in harmony with local wisdom in Bali. The purpose of this paper is to show that The Beach Recovery System is in line with the teachings of Tri Hita Karana and becomes a relevant role model to be applied for the recovery and arrangement of safe and exotic coastal tourism areas. From the study conducted, a strategy for developing a coastal tourism area called The Beach Recovery System was drawn up which is in line with the teachings of Tri Hita Karana owned by the Balinese people. The Beach Recovery System emphasizes the need to determine the supporting components in coastal tourism areas which include: crab, groint, walk way, buffer zone, and green zone. With the fulfillment of these components, surely the welfare expected by the teachings of Tri Hita Karana can be realized in a beautiful and comfortable beach tourism area, which of course will be an attraction for tourists.
Efek Tryadic Communication Pura Samuantiga Dalam Pemujaan Tri Murti Di Bali
Authors: Wirta I Wayan , Gayatri Sintyananda
Published: January 2022

There has been a conflict of understanding among Hindu religious groups, as a result of not adapting to the local cultural environment that has been considered well established. So as a consequence, there is a gap/conflict of understanding that has an impact on miscommunication.  The concerns of various parties, especially among traditional Hindu figures as the "opinion leader" of Hindu communities in Bali with the concept of the teachings of "Tri Murti" insist on fortifying the influences of sampradaya teachings that are considered not in line with the tradition of "Dresta Bali". The effect of tryadic communication with the concept of Tri Murti teachings and the formation of pakraman villages/Balinese customary village is a strategic effort to anticipate, fortify and overcome conflicts between Hindu Religious groups, both at the pakraman village/customary village level and the family environment in Bali. The study used “dependency theory” from Ball-Rokeach and DeFlour. The method of data collection is participatory observation, in-depth interviews and literature studies. Data processing methods are carried out through processes : reduction, display and data verivikation. While the technique of determining informants is done purposive sampling.

As for the findings of this study that the name "Pura Kahyangan Tiga" does not describe the number of appropriate temples that should amount to three in each village pakraman/customary village, but the fact in the field is different, it could be that one village pakraman/customary village has two temples (if Pura Desa/Bale Agung and Pura Puseh combined in one area) and even the number of Pura Kahyangan Tiga can be more than three pieces (if Pura Dalem Setra more than one). Therefore, it needs to be reviewed, the naming of Pura Kahyangan Tiga which is not in accordance with the concept in question. Based on this description, several conclusions can be drawn, namely : 1) Tryadic communications is “a triangular communication” (samuantiga) which in its implementation has caused the effect of Tri Murti in Bali, both at the family level, pakraman village/customary village and more broadly at Pura Sad Kahyangan for all Hindu communities in Bali. 2) The effect of tryadic communications Pura Samuantiga on the level of pakraman village/customary village was built Pura Kahyangan Tiga, which consists of : Pura Desa/Bale Agung as a place of worship of Lord Brahma, Pura Puseh as a place of worship of Lord Visnu and Pura Dalem as a place of worship of Lord Siva, as well as a unifying medium for all Hindus in the territory/territorial wewidangan pakraman village/customary village. 3) The effect of tryadic communications Pura Samuantiga on the family sphere was built Palinggih Kamulan Rong Telu/Tiga, as a medium of worship Tri Murti and the ancestral spirit of the siddhadewata, as well as a unifying media in the family sphere.

More children born means the more spending to support the children, and eventually impacting the health of the children. The perspective on the ideal number of children for parents is influenced by demographic, social and economic conditions. This study examines the extent of the relationship between demographic conditions, contraceptive use, and access to family planning services to the ideal number of children among couples of childbearing age in West Java Province.

Methods: This type of research is analysis of an existing dataset. This study uses the 2017 IDHS data and the sample population is women of reproductive age 15-49 years who are registered in the IDHS in West Java Province. Data processing were conducted on August-November 2020 using chi square data analysis.

Results: The results showed that there was a relationship between the use of contraceptives and the ideal number of children (p-value 0,032). On the other hand, other demographic and social economic variable of the couples of childbearing ages: education (p-value 0,076), knowledge of contraceptive (p-value 0,737), wealth (p-value 0,489) and health information (p-value 0,413) shows no relationship with the ideal number of children.

Conclusion: Among demographic and social economic variable of the couples of childbearing ages, only contraceptive use shows a relationships with ideal number of children. In order to reduce fertility rates, more campaign regarding family planning especially for couples of childbearing ages, religious leaders, the customs and the community leaders are needed.
On a Computational Smeared Damage Approach to the Analysis of Strength of Quasi-Brittle Materials
Authors: Vala Jiri
Published: January 2022

Computational analysis of strength of quasi-brittle materials, crucial for the durability of building structures and industrial components, needs typically a smeared damage approach, referring to the Eringen theory of nonlocal elasticity. Unfortunately its ad hoc constitutive relations cannot avoid potential divergence of sequences of approximate solutions, exploiting some extended finite element techniques, as well as questionable or missing existence results for corresponding boundary value problems. Introducing a simple static partially linearized model problem of such type, this article demonstrates some relevant remedies and their limitations, with numerous references to desirable generalizations

Published: January 2022

Como reflejo del inminente cambio del tardofranquismo a la Transición, emergen discursos en la producción fílmica que retratan aspectos de la sociedad prácticamente omitidos hasta entonces, tales serían el cine LGTBIQ+, el de la marginalidad quinqui o el cine `S´. Las ciudades de Madrid y Barcelona se presentan como principales escenarios de nuevos constructos discursivos que retratan una generación diferenciada de los modos franquistas precedentes. Esta investigación expone y analiza la sinergia entre personajes y escenarios urbanos por los que la ciudad se desempeña como mapa emocional del relato y espacio de cambio en los primeros relatos de la democracia.
«Faculty of unnecessary things»: Department of Ethnology of the Lomonosov Moscow State University in the post-scientific era
Authors: Соловей Т.Д.
Published: January 2022

В статье представлен анализ современного положения российской этнологии/антропологии, которое автор характеризует в алармистских тонах как постдисциплинарное, имея в виду разрушение мировоззренческого уровня и серьезный кризис логически-дискурсивного уровня этнологии. Автор предлагает к рассмотрению обобщенный социологический портрет исследователя-этнолога, чей психоэмоциональный профильсоставляют растерянность перед лицом экономических проблем, кризис профессиональной идентичности и профессиональное выгорание.Анализируя положение дел в системе подготовки профессиональных этнологов на примере кафедры этнологии Московского университета, автор закономерно увязывает его с внутридисциплинарными проблемами этнологии/антропологии, а также с общей социально-экономической ситуацией в стране. В отсутствие государственного и общественного запроса на экспертное этнологическое знание, специалистыэтнологи и антропологи, которых выпускает кафедра, не могут трудоустроиться.Последнее обстоятельство меняет мотивацию молодых людей, получающих высшее образование, создавая причудливые конфигурации из эмоциональных и квазирациональных императивов. Будучи бессильны перед лицом неблагоприятных внешних социокультурных и экономических обстоятельств, студенты аккумулируют не столько знания, сколько положительные эмоции от принадлежности к университетской корпорации.

The article presents an analysis of the current state of Russian ethnology/anthropology, which the author characterizes in alarmist tones as post-disciplinary, meaning the destruction of the worldview level and a deep crisis of the logical and discursive level of ethnology. The author offers a generalized sociological portrait of an ethnologist researcher, whose mental and emotional profile consists of confusion in the face of economic problems, a crisis of professional identity and professional “burnout”.Analyzing the situation in the system of training professional ethnologists on the example of the Department of Ethnology of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, the author naturally links it with the intra-disciplinary problems of ethnology/anthropology, as well as with the general social and economic situation in the country. In the absence of state and public demand for expert ethnological knowledge, specialists in ethnology and anthropology, graduated from the department, cannot find a job. The latter circumstance changes the motivation of young people receiving higher education, creating bizarre configurations of emotional and quasi-rational imperatives. Being powerless in the face of unfavorable external socio-cultural and economic circumstances, students accumulate not so much knowledge as positive emotions from belonging to a university corporation.

The problem of the study of modern cults of the Black Sea Adygs-Shapsugs and their transformation
Authors: Штыбин В.В.
Published: January 2022

Сакральные места причерноморских адыгов-шапсугов принято считать исчезающими, однако детальное исследование показывает наличие двух разнонаправленных процессов, связанных с культурной памятью этого народа. С одной стороны, исчезновение из культовой практики общественных молений привело к переориентации сакрального в область народных этических норм и правил поведения. С другой стороны, наблюдается тенденция к переходу культовых практик в классических сакральных местах из области общественного в область семейного и личного, что закрывает доступ постороннему человеку, исследователю, к информации об этих культовых практиках. Доступ к ней требует высокого уровня доверия, который может быть выработан лишь при прямом общении с конкретными информантами.Автору удалось выработать иной метод, через многолетнее ведение популярных блогов в социальных сетях как в текстовом, так и в видеоформате, посвященных культуре и истории изучаемого народа. Эти информационные каналы, вкупе с поддержанием определенных этических правил их использования, позволили сформировать широкую и лояльную аудиторию среди представителей изучаемого народа всех возрастных и гендерных групп и с широким географическим охватом. Они позволяют выходить на связь с информантами напрямую, без третьих лиц и получать личную информацию как лицу, известному информанту и в его глазах заслуживающему достаточного уровня доверия для раскрытия информации такого уровня.

The sacred places of the Black Sea Adygs-Shapsugs are considered to be disappearing, but a detailed study shows the presence of two multidirectional processes associated with the cultural memory of these people. On the one hand, the disappearance of public prayers from the cult practice led to a reorientation of the sacred into the field of folk ethical norms and rules of conduct. On the other hand, there is a tendency towards the transition of cult practices in classical sacred places from the public to the family and personal, which closes the access of an outsider, a researcher, to information about these cult practices. Access to it requires a high level of trust, which can only develops through direct communication with specific informants.The author managed to develop a different method through many years of maintaining popular blogs on social networks, both in text and video format, dedicated to the culture and history of the studied people. These information channels, coupled with the maintenance of certain ethical rules for their use, allowed forming a wide and loyal audience among representatives of the studied people of all age and gender groups and with a wide geographical coverage. They allow you to contact informants directly, without third parties, and receive personal information, as a person known to the informant, and deserving, in his eyes, of a sufficient level of trust to disclose information of this level.

Estudio del paisaje del sistema lagunar México-Xochimilco-Campestre. Un sitio Ramsar dentro de una ciudad desértica del Noroeste de México
Authors: Jácome ibarra Mariana , Leyva Camacho Osvaldo , De la Fuente de Val Gonzalo
Published: January 2022

El sistema lagunar México-Xochimilco-Campestre forma parte del Sistema de Humedales Remanentes del Delta del Río Colorado, considerados humedales imprescindibles para el mantenimiento hídrico de una ciudad desértica como Mexicali. Sin embargo, este sistema lagunar ha sido ignorado en la planeación urbana de la ciudad. A través de la metodología de análisis del paisaje se obtuvieron tres unidades de paisaje: sistema lagunar, área agrícola y periferia urbana. El área de la periferia urbana obtuvo el menor valor de calidad visual, mientras que el sistema lagunar obtuvo el valor mayor. El análisis FODA indica la existencia de unidades de paisaje atractivas y con potencial eco-turístico y de conservación, pero las restricciones normativas y el desconocimiento por parte de la población complican su manejo y apropiación de estas unidades de paisaje. Los resultados de la encuesta muestran que la población con mayor tiempo de residencia en la ciudad tiene mayor conocimiento de las lagunas existentes, así como también es la más proactiva en las propuestas de mejoramiento del paisaje del sistema lagunar. La información generada se usará para el diseño del manejo de cauces y de actividades eco-turísticas, así como la propuesta de actividades socioculturales y de educación ambiental para que la población se apropie y ayude en la conservación y protección de este sistema de humedales.

Prospects for Water Vapor Detection in the Atmospheres of Temperate and Arid Rocky Exoplanets around M-dwarf Stars
Authors: Ding Feng , Wordsworth Robin D.
Published: January 2022

Detection of water vapor in the atmospheres of temperate, rocky exoplanets would be a major milestone on the path toward characterization of exoplanet habitability. Past modeling work has shown that cloud formation may prevent the detection of water vapor on Earth-like planets with surface oceans using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Here we analyze the potential for atmospheric detection of H2O on a different class of targets: arid planets. Using transit spectrum simulations, we show that atmospheric H2O may be easier to detect on arid planets with cold-trapped ice deposits on the surface because such planets will not possess thick H2O cloud decks that limit the transit depth of spectral features. However, additional factors such as band overlap with CO2 and other gases, extinction by mineral dust, overlap of stellar and planetary H2O lines, and the ultimate noise floor obtainable by JWST still pose important challenges. For this reason, a combination of space- and ground-based spectroscopic observations will be essential for reliable detection of H2O on rocky exoplanets in the future.
INAS: Interactive Argumentation Support for the Scientific Domain of Invasion Biology

Published: January 2022

Developing a precise argument is not an easy task. In real-world argumentation scenarios, arguments presented in texts (e.g. scientific publications) often constitute the end result of a long and tedious process. A lot of work on computational argumentation has focused on analyzing and aggregating these products of argumentation processes, i.e. argumentative texts. In this project, we adopt a complementary perspective: we aim to develop an argumentation machine that supports users during the argumentation process in a scientific context, enabling them to follow ongoing argumentation in a scientific community and to develop their own arguments. To achieve this ambitious goal, we will focus on a particular phase of the scientific argumentation process, namely the initial phase of claim or hypothesis development. According to argumentation theory, the starting point of an argument is a claim, and also data that serves as a basis for the claim. In scientific argumentation, a carefully developed and thought-through hypothesis (which we see as Toulmin's "claim'' in a scientific context) is often crucial for researchers to be able to conduct a successful study and, in the end, present a new, high-quality finding or argument. Thus, an initial hypothesis needs to be specific enough that a researcher can test it based on data, but, at the same time, it should also relate to previous general claims made in the community. We investigate how argumentation machines can (i) represent concrete and more abstract knowledge on hypotheses and their underlying concepts, (ii) model the process of hypothesis refinement, including data as a basis of refinement, and (iii) interactively support a user in developing her own hypothesis based on these resources. This project will combine methods from different disciplines: natural language processing, knowledge representation and semantic web, philosophy of science and -- as an example for a scientific domain -- invasion biology. Our starting point is an existing resource in invasion biology that organizes and relates core hypotheses in the field and associates them to meta-data for more than 1000 scientific publications, which was developed over the course of several years based on manual analysis. This network, however, is currently static (i.e. needs substantial manual curation to be extended to incorporate new claims) and, moreover, is not easily accessible for users who miss specific background and domain knowledge in invasion biology. Our goal is to develop (i) a semantic model for representing knowledge on concepts and hypotheses, such that also non-expert users can use the network; (ii) a tool that automatically computes links from publication abstracts (and data) to these hypotheses; and (iii) an interactive system that supports users in refining their initial, potentially underdeveloped hypothesis.
DNA barcoding of the leaf-miner flies (Diptera, Agromyzidae) of Mitaraka, French Guiana
Authors: Boucher Stéphanie , Savage Jade
Published: January 2022

Species level identification of Agromyzidae based on morphology is often challenging due to their small size and morphological homogeneity. DNA barcoding has been used regularly to assist with the identification of economically important species of Agromyzidae, but rarely as a tool for species delineation or identification in biodiversity surveys. The main objective of this study was to investigate whether DNA barcoding and the BIN (Barcoding Index) system could assist with species identification, species delineation, male/ female association, and diversity assessment of Agromyzidae material previously determined to morphospecies from Mitaraka, French Guiana. Amplification success was low, with sequences over 400 bp recovered for only 24 (48%) of the selected specimens. Sequences assigned to 17 morphospecies formed 16 distinct branches or clusters separated by very high (minimum of 10%) sequence divergence. Following the reassessment and subsequent reassignment of one specimen, congruence between morphology and DNA barcodes was high with a single instance of two morphospecies sharing identical sequences. While DNA barcoding did not assist with identification (none of our sequences matched those of named taxa in BOLD or GenBank), it did provide support for most of our morphospecies concepts, including male/female associations. The BIN system also provided access to information about the distribution and habitat preferences of several taxa. We conclude that DNA barcoding was a useful approach to study the species diversity of our samples but that much work remains to be done before it can be used as an identification tool for the Agromyzidae fauna of Mitaraka and the rest of the Neotropical region.
Suture Selection for Incision Closure in Pediatric Cataract Surgery: A Dilemma for Pediatric Ophthalmologists
Authors: Agarwal Pradeep , Maan Veenu , Sutar Sameer , Chauhan Lokesh
Published: January 2022

Purpose:

To measure and compare suture-related complications in children undergoing cataract surgery with a surgical incision closure performed by either a 10-0 nylon suture followed by suture removal within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery or a 10-0 polyglactin suture left in situ.

Methods:

This was a prospective, non-randomized cohort study. All children with bilateral cataracts who underwent cataract surgery with a surgical incision closure by non-absorbable 10-0 nylon sutures followed by suture removal within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery in their first eye and incision closure by absorbable 10-0 polyglactin sutures left in situ after their second eye surgery. The frequency of suture-related complications (vascularization near to suture, loosening of suture, mucus accumulation, early rupture, and infective keratitis) was noted for 10-0 nylon and 10-0 polyglactin sutures.

Results:

Eighty-two eyes of 41 children were enrolled in the study. All children were observed until 3 months after surgery. Of the 10-0 nylon sutures, 2 (4.9%) were loose and 2 (4.9%) had underlying corneal edema. The remaining sutures (n = 37, 90.2%) were removed within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. Of the 10-0 polyglactin sutures, 5 (12.2%) were loose, 2 (4.9%) were vascularized, and 3 (7.3%) had mucus infiltration. These sutures (n = 10, 24.3%) were removed 2 to 5 weeks after the second eye surgery. The remaining polyglactin sutures (n = 31, 75.6%) were left in situ.

Conclusions:

A higher frequency of suture-related complications was observed with the 10-0 polyglactin sutures than the 10-0 nylon sutures. The authors recommend using 10-0 nylon sutures with suture removal within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery over using 10-0 polyglactin sutures for incision closure in pediatric cataract surgeries.

On spectral gaps of growth-fragmentation semigroups with mass loss or death
Authors: Mokhtar-Kharroubi Mustapha
Published: January 2022

We give a general theory on well-posedness and time asymptotics for growth fragmentation equations in \begin{document}$ L^{1} $\end{document} spaces. We prove first generation of \begin{document}$ C_{0} $\end{document}-semigroups governing them for unbounded total fragmentation rate and fragmentation kernel \begin{document}$ b(.,.) $\end{document} such that \begin{document}$ \int_{0}^{y}xb(x,y)dx = y-\eta (y)y $\end{document} (\begin{document}$ 0\leq \eta (y)\leq 1 $\end{document} expresses the mass loss) and continuous growth rate \begin{document}$ r(.) $\end{document} such that \begin{document}$ \int_{0}^{\infty }\frac{1}{r(\tau )}d\tau = +\infty . $\end{document}This is done in the spaces of finite mass or finite mass and number of agregates. Generation relies on unbounded perturbation theory peculiar to positive semigroups in \begin{document}$ L^{1} $\end{document} spaces. Secondly, we show that the semigroup has a spectral gap and asynchronous exponential growth. The analysis relies on weak compactness tools and Frobenius theory of positive operators. A systematic functional analytic construction is provided.
Finite difference methods for the one-dimensional Chern-Simons gauged models
Authors: Kim Jeongho , Moon Bora
Published: January 2022

We present finite difference schemes for the one-dimensional Chern-Simons gauged Schrödinger and Dirac equations. We provide two numerical schemes for the Chern-Simons-Schrödinger equations, each of them has its own advantage in total charge preservation and the second-order accuracy. On the other hand, we offer the second-order, total charge-preserving numerical scheme for the Chern-Simons-Dirac equations. We numerically test each method and validate the total charge preserving properties. We also compare the solutions to the Chern-Simons gauged equations with the equations without the gauge effect, illustrating the effect of gauge fields on the dynamics of the matter field.
Solving the TSP by the AALHNN algorithm
Authors: Hu Yun , Duan Qianqian
Published: January 2022

It is prone to get stuck in a local minimum when solving the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) by the traditional Hopfield neural network (HNN) and hard to converge to an efficient solution, resulting from the defect of the penalty method used by the HNN. In order to mend this defect, an accelerated augmented Lagrangian Hopfield neural network (AALHNN) algorithm was proposed in this paper. This algorithm gets out of the dilemma of penalty method by Lagrangian multiplier method, ensuring that the solution to the TSP is undoubtedly efficient. The second order factor added in the algorithm stabilizes the neural network dynamic model of the problem, thus improving the efficiency of solution. In this paper, when solving the TSP by AALHNN, some changes were made to the TSP models of Hopfield and Tank. Say, constraints of TSP are multiplied by Lagrange multipliers and augmented Lagrange multipliers respectively, The augmented Lagrange function composed of path length function can ensure robust convergence and escape from the local minimum trap. The Lagrange multipliers are updated by using nesterov acceleration technique. In addition, it was theoretically proved that the extremum obtained by this improved algorithm is the optimal solution of the initial problem and the approximate optimal solution of the TSP was successfully obtained several times in the simulation experiment. Compared with the traditional HNN, this method can ensure that it is effective for TSP solution and the solution to the TSP obtained is better.
Sex Contextualism
Authors: Richardson Sarah S.
Published: January 2022

This paper develops the conceptual framework of “sex contextualism” for the study of sex-related variables in biomedical research. Sex contextualism offers an alternative to binary sex essentialist approaches to the study of sex as a biological variable. Specifically, sex contextualism recognizes the pluralism and context-specificity of operationalizations of ‘sex’ across experimental laboratory research. In light of recent policy mandates to consider sex as a biological variable, sex contextualism offers constructive guidance to biomedical researchers for attending to sex-related biological variation. As an alternative to and critique of biological binary sex essentialism, sex contextualism contributes to current debates in philosophy of biology, feminist science studies, and social ontology on the construction of categories of gender/sex differences in scientific research.
