Characteristics of Ice Cream with The Addition of Purple Sweet Potato and Porang Flour as A Stabilizer
Authors: Tobing Naulia Ramadhani Lumban , Yurliasni Yurliasni , Mariana Elmy
Published: January 2024

Purple sweet potato and porang are local food ingredients that have potential as stabilizers because they have good hydrocolloid properties. This study was to determine the effect of the addition of porang flour and purple sweet potato with different percentages on ice cream characteristics. This research was prepared using the Complete Randomized Design method in a Nested pattern with 2 factors, first factor (A) is the addition of purple sweet potato(A1) and porang flour (A2), while the second factor (B) is different percentages (0%(B1), 1% (B2), 2% (B3), and 3% (B4)). The parameters observed in this study consisted of overrun, melting time, and emulsion stability (%). The results showed that the addition of purple sweet potato and porang flour with different percentages had a very significant effect (P < 0.01) on overrun and emulsion stability, and a significant effect (P < 0.05) on melting time. The use of purple sweet potato as a stabilizer produced ice cream with better overrun value and melting time compared to ice cream with porang flour stabilizer, but the use of porang flour as a stabilizer produced ice cream with better emulsion stability. The use of purple sweet potato and porang flour with a concentration of 1% produced ice cream with the best characteristics.
Landschap natuurlijk: Ecologische landschapsgeschiedenis in hedendaags perspectief
Authors: Groenewoudt Bert
Published: January 2024

Hét historische landschap bestaat niet, het ‘oorspronkelijke’ evenmin. Landschappen zijn dynamisch want ze staan onder invloed van de voortdurend veranderende wisselwerking tussen mens en natuur. Sterk beeldbepalend, letterlijk, en maatschappelijk hoog gewaardeerd, is het ‘groen’ dat deel uitmaakt van landschappen. Ecologische Landschapsgeschiedenis richt zich op lange-termijn landschapsprocessen en historisch-ecologische samenhangen op verschillende schaalniveaus. De dynamiek en diversiteit van het historische groen, als onderdeel van het landschap als geheel, staan centraal. Aspecten daarvan zijn de historische realiteit, verklaringsmodellen en drivers achter verandering. Kennisontwikkeling op dit gebied is niet alleen van belang voor de verdieping van interdisciplinaire dwarsverbanden tussen landschapsgeschiedenis, aardwetenschappen en ecologie, maar vormt ook een belangrijke pijler voor de toepassing van kennis in actuele maatschappelijke vraagstukken met ruimtelijke implicaties. Ecologisch-landschapshistorische informatie kan helpen iets van historische logica én historische identiteit te geven aan de landschappen van de toekomst. Bijdragen aan het creëren van variatie ook, en het versterken van streekidentiteit. Dit soort onderzoek, en ook de vertaling ervan in beleid, biedt bovendien kansen voor publieksparticipatie en het creëren van draagvlak. Er zijn grote kansen voor innovatie. Met big data-benaderingen en computermodellering, mogelijk geworden het beschikbaar komen van grote datasets en nieuwe digitale technieken, kan tegenwoordig snel en gemakkelijk een globaal inzicht worden verkregen in grootschalige ruimtelijke patronen en temporele ontwikkelingen, die vervolgens gevalideerd kunnen worden. Demystificatie is cruciaal, het onderscheiden van feit (de historische realiteit) en fictie. Beleidskeuzes kunnen alle kanten opgaan, vanzelfsprekend, maar als ter inspiratie, of zelfs legitimering, wordt geput uit de groene landschapsgeschiedenis, dan moet de historische feitenbasis wel kloppen.
APPLYING ONLINE DRAMA SCRIPT TO BETTER SPEAKING PROFICIENCY AND VOCABULARY BUILDING
Authors: Suseno Edy
Published: January 2024

Delivering ideas to others requires speaking to them. Every language user should learn this tool. For EFL learners, carrying out such a practice causes an issue. The university students encountered it. During the delivery, they experience stammering or getting stuck. They enrolled in a conversation class that used internet drama transcripts to conduct performing drama to correct their weakness in speaking practice. The study’s objective is to demonstrate the value of using online theater scripts to improve speaking abilities. 24 freshmen were participating in the teaching and learning process. Each student needs to have a device with them to ensure learning success. It is the device used to access online content. The instructor divided the class into five groups to get things going. A coordinator operated each one. The teacher provided the URL to let students access the material. The pupils clicked on, and a page of drama titles appeared. The group’s leader guided every one of his passengers in making the right decision. Each participant was then given a role in the drama practice. The students read every word and expression in the scripts to comprehend its content. They looked up the meanings of the unfamiliar words using their electronic dictionary. Each student that had issues was given self-assistance by the teacher. The teacher invited each group to perform once they had finished practicing and rehearsing the drama in their groups. The instructor commented on the pupils’ efforts. Following the conclusion of the performance by all pupils, the discussion of the drama’s subject matter was given. It was evident from the use of a number of practice sessions that the pupils’ vocabulary and speaking abilities had improved. The teacher will benefit from using it when teaching the relevant subjects. It also encourages additional investigation by other researchers.

Authors: Dar Aadil Hussain , Younis Mudasir , Chen Lili
Published: January 2024

This article aims to define a new resolvent operator for variational inclusion problems in the framework of  Banach spaces. We design a rapid algorithm using the resolvent operator to approximate the solution of the variational inclusion problem in Banach spaces. Additionally, we show that the algorithm articulated in this article converges faster than the well-known and notable algorithm due to Fang and Huang. To show the superiority and prevalence of the obtained results, we propound a numerical and computational example upholding our claim.  Lastly, a minimization problem is solved with the help of the proposed algorithm, which is the first attempt in the current context of the study.

In this paper, we introduce an indefinite LP-Sasakian statistical manifold and study lightlike submanifold of an indefinite LP-Sasakian statistical manifold. We also introduce some relations among induced geometrical objects with respect to dual connections in a lightlike submanifold of an indefinite LP-Sasakian statistical  manifold. One example related to this concept is also presented. Finally, we show that an invariant lightlike submanifold of an indefinite LP-Sasakian  statistical manifold is an indefinite LP-Sasakian statistical manifold.
PROPAGATION OF POLARIZED LIGHT AND ELECTROMAGNETIC CURVES IN THE OPTICAL FIBER IN WALKER 3-MANIFOLDS
Authors: Özdemir Zehra , Ndiaye Ameth
Published: January 2024

In the present paper, we define the three cases of the geometric phase equations associated with a monochromatic linearly polarized light wave traveling along an optical fiber in three dimensional Walker manifold (M, g^ε_f). Walker manifolds have many applications in mathematics and theoretical physics. We are working in the context of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (i.e. a manifold equipped with a non-degenerate arbitrary signature metric tensor). That is, we generalize the motion of the light wave in the optical fiber and the associated electromagnetic curves that describe the motion of a charged particle under the influence of an electromagnetic field over a Walker space defined as a pseudo-Riemannian manifold with a light-like distribution, parallel to the Levi-Civita junction. These manifolds (especially Lorentzian) are important in physics because of their applications in general relativity. Then, we obtain the Rytov curves related to the cases of geometric phase models. Moreover, we give some examples and visualize the evolution of the electric field along the optical fiber in (M, g^ε_f ) via MAPLE program.

Authors: Loy Michelle
Published: January 2024

Culinary medicine is an evidence-based field that combines nutrition and culinary skills to help patients prevent diet-related disease by choosing healthy food. Taught in a teaching kitchen, it employs hands-on learning of basic cooking techniques and other self-care topics such as enhanced nutrition, mindfulness, physical activity, and gardening. Studies show that easy, affordable, healthy meals using accessible whole food plant-based foods are feasible in vulnerable populations with ensuing health and economic benefits. This article examines three ways culinary medicine can support food equity and health among vulnerable populations through food policy, partnerships, and practice pearls.

Eta-invariant of elliptic parameter-dependent boundary-value problems
Authors: Zhuikov K. N. , Savin A. Yu.
Published: January 2024

In this paper, we study the eta-invariant of elliptic parameter-dependent boundary value problems and its main properties. Using Melrose’s approach, we de ne the eta-invariant as a regularization of the winding number of the family. In this case, the regularization of the trace requires obtaining the asymptotics of the trace of compositions of invertible parameter-dependent boundary value problems for large values of the parameter. Obtaining the asymptotics uses the apparatus of pseudodifferential boundary value problems and is based on the reduction of parameter-dependent boundary value problems to boundary value problems with no parameter.
Cinema: the construction of time
Authors:   Humanitarian University, Pogorelskaya Elena , Chernov Leonid ,   Ural State Mining University
Published: January 2024

Introduction. The technical art of cinematography is traditionally regarded as a synthetic unity of scientific and technological progress and creativity. The possibility of unlimited copying of movie plots makes it possible to extend the authority of cinema to broad areas of public attention and forms a mass man. At the same time, the fact that cinema is, first of all, an experiment with time, organized by technical means, remains behind the scenes. The purpose of the study. If the core issues of humanity are centered on the problem of life and death, on the problem of mastering and overcoming time, then cinema clearly shows that humanity has a ready-made embodied model of its desire. Methods. The authors use a phenomenological method that allows one to see the temporal fabric behind the “opaque body” of cinema. The eidetic reduction to the foundations of the constructed film plot temporal reality is complemented by the structuralist method of analyzing technical devices and technological methods of the film industry. Scientific novelty of the research. The ontology of the technical art of cinema goes beyond rationality and pragmatics. By launching a special kind of experiment with time, cinema technologies allow the viewer to be present in the bifurcation moments of temporal metamorphoses that connect different temporal modes. The temporal fabric is subject to the plot logic. Results. In cinema, time is constructed by technical means. The nature of this construction allows us to see the layered structure of time, the intersections of time flows, influxes, reverse time orders and stops in time. The cinema technique clearly shows that time barriers are conditional. Conclusions. Cinema dissolves any empirical density, creating gaps in it and transitions to other worlds. The connection between the worlds is carried out by constructed time. Time is taken out of objects and, obeying the course of the narrative, expands the reality of the world.
How Companies Create Value Through Management Accounting Practices in the Era of the Covid Pandemic
Authors: Puryati Dwi
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This study aims to explore Management Accounting Practices (MAPs) in Indonesia and the impact that Covid-19 had on them. It also aims to establish the factors that affected MPAs during the pandemic, and the effect that these practices had on business performance.
Design/methodology: Descriptive and verification methods were used. The former was employed to detail MAPs in manufacturing companies in Indonesia and the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic had on these practices. The verification method (using multiple linear regression) was employed to examine the factors that influence their MAPs and the effect of these practices on business performance. This study used primary data obtained from controllers who work for different Indonesian manufacturing companies. The total sample was composed of 41 questionnaire responses.
Findings: This paper shows that most manufacturing companies in Indonesia have adopted MAPs for cost systems, decision-making, business strategies, and advanced manufacturing technology. In general, these MAPs are at Stage 4 as defined by the IFAC. This means that, in Indonesia, MAPs are implemented to create value and maintain companies’ sustainability in the era of Industry 4.0.
Conclusions: The pandemic increased the implementation of MAPs, which had a significant effect on the intensity of market competition and firm performance. The results of this study support Statement 1 on Management Accounting by the IFAC, according to which accounting practices in Stage 4 are focused on the effective use of organizational resources to create value.
Originality: This study focuses on manufacturing companies in Indonesia and the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, which brought about special conditions that impacted business operations. These results are in line with changes in the current business environment, and companies can consider them to create value and continuously improve their performance.
Chief executive officer duality and the relationship between firm performance and dividend payouts
Authors: Sheng Dachen , Montgomery Heather A.
Published: January 2024

Using a panel of data on manufacturing firms listed on the Chinese stock exchange over the period 2017 to 2022, this research paper empirically investigates the relationship between firm performance and dividend payouts. Unique features of Chinese financial markets allow us to contribute to the literature on how corporate governance, in particular concentrated managerial power and state ownership, affects agency costs and therefore the relationship between firm performance and dividend payouts (Burdeos, 2021; Debnath et al., 2022; Vicente, 2020). The main findings of this study are as follows. Firms follow the pecking order theory when funding their capital needs: firms wait for dividends, preferring to take advantage of profitable investment opportunities when firm performance is good. This negative relationship between firm performance and dividend payout is even stronger at firms with highly concentrated managerial power as indicated by chief executive officer (CEO) duality. However, state-owned enterprises, which face a double principal–agent problem that cannot be fully addressed by CEO duality, demonstrate a weaker negative relationship between firm performance and dividend payouts. We find evidence that the negative relationship between firm performance and dividend payouts strengthened during the COVID-19 pandemic: firms were even more likely during to prefer internal financing during the pandemic years.
Observational limitations to the emergence of climate signals
Authors: Rivoire Louis , Linz Marianna , Li Jingyuan
Published: January 2024

Using model projections to study the emergence of observable climate
signals presumes omniscient knowledge about the climate system. In
reality, observational knowledge suffers from data quality and
availability issues. Overlooking such deficiencies leads to
misrepresentations of the time of emergence (ToE). We introduce a new
definition of ToE that accounts for observational limitations (e.g.,
data gaps, gridding, changes in instrumentation, retrieval algorithms,
etc), and show the potential for significant corrections to achieve the
same statistical confidence as would be afforded by omniscient
knowledge. We also show how our method can inform future observational
needs and observing systems design.
Carbon stocks and fluxes from a boreal conifer swamp: filling a knowledge gap for modelling the boreal C cycle
Authors: Davidson Scott J. , Davies Marissa A , Wegener Emma , Claussen Sara , Schmidt Megan , Peacock Michael , Strack Maria
Published: January 2024

The carbon (C) dynamics of boreal coniferous swamps are a largely
understudied component of wetland carbon cycling. We investigated the
above- and below-ground carbon stocks and growing season carbon dioxide
(CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes from a representative wooded coniferous
swamp in northern Alberta, Canada in 2022. Tree inventories, understory
vegetation biomass and peat cores were collected across three sub-sites
within the broader swamp, with gas flux collars placed in the dominant
plant communities present. Alongside the C flux measurements,
environmental variables such as water table depth, soil temperature and
growing season understory green leaf phenology were measured. Our
results show that these wooded coniferous swamps store large volumes of
organic C in their biomass and soil (134 kg C m-2), comparable with
other wetland and forest types, although 95% of the total C stock at
our site was within the soil organic carbon. We also found that
understory CO2 and CH4 fluxes indicated that the ground layer of the
site is a source of greenhouse gases (GHG) to the atmosphere across the
growing season. However, we did not measure litterfall input, tree GHG
fluxes or net primary productivity of the overstory, therefore we are
not able to say whether the site is an overall source of C to the
atmosphere. This study provides a much-needed insight into the C
dynamics of these under-valued wetland ecosystems and we highlight the
need for a coordinated effort across boreal regions to try to improve
inventories of C stocks and fluxes.
"The City’s Charms and Challenges" by P K Leung (translation)
Authors: Song Chris
Published: January 2024

In this essay “The City’s Charms and Challenges” 城巿的诱惑·城市的挑战' by P K Leung (alias Ye Si 也斯) published in Zhong Hua Du Shu Bao (《 中华读书报》) in 2013, Leung traces his own journey as he -- just like many other Chinese families -- moved with his family from Guangdong to Hong Kong in 1949, where he grew up, lived and taught, becoming one of the best-known Hong Kong writers. In the essay, he also mapped out the early beginnings of Hong Kong literature, its intrinsic roots in Chinese literature, and how it has thrived amidst the socio-cultural and historical changes in Hong Kong in the last few decades. In charting the locality of places, the difference between the urban and the rural living in Hong Kong, Leung highlights the importance to acknowledge the complex layers and dimensions of Hong Kong literature, where both Chinese and English languages and different cultures intersect.
The application of hexagonal geogrid as a reinforcement element of the base of a road embankment
Authors: Sitek Wiktor , Kozłowski Filip , Kiersnowska Agnieszka , Dohojda Marek
Published: January 2024

For stability calculations, one of the most important factors is the strength of the material used in the role of reinforcement. In the case of hexagonal geogrids, strength results can be obtained according to the manufac-turer’s recommendations – radially tensile or in accordance with the standard – using the wide-width strip specimen tensile method. It was decided to compare the strength results obtained using the radial stiffness to those resulting from tests conducted according to the standard. This article presents the utilisation of geosyn-thetic materials, specifically hexagonal geogrids, as reinforcement elements for soil. The article showcases the methodology and results of strength tests conducted on samples of hexagonal geogrids using the wide-width specimen method, as well as stability analysis of a representative road embankment using the afore-mentioned geogrid. The objective of the research was to determine the strength parameters for stability calcu-lations of the embankment. The obtained parameters were compared with the manufacturer’s specifications.
GENERATIVE SHAPING IN SEARCH OF MATERIAL AND STRUCTURAL OPTIMISATION OF SMALL STRUCTURAL FORMS
Authors: Stefańska Anna , Liszewska Klaudia , Kurcjusz Małgorzata , Jeleniewicz Katarzyna , Das Rohan Raj
Published: January 2024

In the 21st century, the most advanced digital methods have allowed structure design, analysis and multidirectional optimisation based on multiple parameters. Mathematical algorithms based on proportionality requirements enable the software to create an individual solution for the specified boundary conditions. This is particularly interesting from the point of view of prefabrication and material engineering, which is now more often characterised by the idea of post-Fordism, where the desire for unification does not exclude the creative search for individual solutions. The research presented in this paper attempts to answer how parametric designing conducted on bar trusses can be implemented into the optimisation of structural elements. The methodology employed in the study involved using of parametric design tools to create a symmetrical truss model, assess its advantages and challenges, and consider load cases. The information provided in the conclusion highlights the evolution of parametric design – which has not only revolutionised architecture and construction by inspiring unconventional forms, but has also facilitated the optimisation of design processes, offered new design possibilities and enabled effective control over various modelling aspects, confirming its invaluable role in both architecture and construction.
Produktywność w przemyśle spożywczym w Polsce – poziom i międzybranżowe zróżnicowanie
Authors: Łukiewska Katarzyna
Published: January 2024

Celem opracowania jest określenie poziomu i tempa zmian produktywności cząstkowej i całkowitej oraz próba identyfikacji czynników wzrostu produkcji w przemyśle spożywczym i jego branżach w Polsce w latach 2000-2011. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że w przemyśle spożywczym i jego branżach występowała tendencja wzrostowa produktywności pracy. Jednocześnie można było zaobserwować niekorzystne zmiany produktywności kapitału. Głównym źródłem wzrostu produkcji przemysłu spożywczego, a także rybnego, owocowo-warzywnego, zbożowo-młynarskiego, mleczarskiego oraz przedsiębiorstw produkujących napoje była substytucja pracy przez kapitał. Badania wskazały również na niewielki udział postępu techniczno-organizacyjnego we wzroście produkcji. Wkład tego czynnika był znaczący jedynie w przemyśle mięsnym oraz mleczarskim, czyli w branżach odznaczających się największym potencjałem konkurencyjnym.

Ocena możliwości rozwojowych gospodarstw mlecznych w Polsce z uwzględnieniem wielkości ekonomicznej
Authors: Adamski Marcin
Published: January 2024

Celem pracy jest wyznaczenie granic wielkości gospodarstw mających perspektywy rozwoju w produkcji mleka oraz zidentyfikowanie tych, które nie będą w stanie jej kontynuować w przyszłości. W pracy poddano ocenie efektywność gospodarstw wyspecjalizowanych w produkcji mleka (typ 45) prowadzących rachunkowość dla polskiego FADN w latach 2008-2010 w podziale na klasy wielkości ekonomicznej według SO. Pomiaru efektywności technicznej dokonano za pomocą metod SFA (Stochastic Frontier Approach) oraz DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis). Badania wykazały, że wielkości produkcji, której skala oraz poziom specjalizacji praktycznie uniemożliwiały osiągnięcie dochodu z zarządzania gospodarstwem bez względu na osiągnięty stopień efektywności, była klasa wielkości do 8 tys. euro. Jako gospodarstwa w najkorzystniejszej sytuacji ekonomicznej uznano klasy 4. i 5., a więc z produkcją w przedziale od 50 do 500 tys. euro SO. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika ponadto, że w większości gospodarstw mlecznych występują możliwości poprawy efektywności produkcji, a dzięki temu poprawy jej dochodowości.

Published: January 2024

W artykule dokonano oceny sytuacji finansowej gospodarstw domowych na obszarach wiejskich w relacji do gospodarstw miejskich w Polsce w latach 2004-2012. Analizie poddano wielkość, dynamikę dochodów i wydatków gospodarstw domowych, źródła dochodów oraz sposoby ich rozdysponowania. Podstawę informacyjną stanowiły zagregowane dane pochodzące z publikacji Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że sytuacja finansowa gospodarstw domowych zamieszkujących obszary wiejskie uległa znacznej poprawie, zmniejszeniu uległy dysproporcje dochodowe wiejskich gospodarstw domowych w stosunku do gospodarstw miejskich. W latach 2004-2012 dynamika wzrostu dochodów w gospodarstwach domowych rolników była znaczne wyższa w stosunku do ogółu gospodarstw wiejskich i miejskich. W wiejskich gospodarstwach domowych w największym stopniu wzrosło znaczenie pozarolniczych źródeł utrzymania, w tym głównie z pracy najemnej. W wyniku poprawy sytuacji finansowej zmniejszeniu uległ udział wydatków podstawowych na zaspokojenie najpilniejszych potrzeb w budżetach gospodarstw wiejskich oraz gospodarstw rolników, zauważono także wzrost ich skłonności do oszczędzania.

Authors: Noras Kinga , Sieczko Leszek
Published: January 2024

W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badania przeprowadzonego wśród uczniów 45 ponadgimnazjalnych szkół rolniczych nadzorowanych przez Ministra Rolnictwa i Rozwoju Wsi. Wyniki te umożliwiły określenie rozwoju społeczeństwa zamieszkującego obszary wiejskie i miejskie w zakresie uczestnictwa młodzieży w budowaniu i rozwoju społeczeństwa informacyjnego kraju w obszarze rolnictwa oraz wdrażania i wykorzystania nowych technologii i internetu w prowadzeniu gospodarstw rolnych. Badana młodzież może stanowić potencjalną grupę przyszłych producentów rolnych, a także może przyczynić się do wdrażania i wzrostu wykorzystywania nowych technologii w prowadzeniu gospodarstwa. Pomimo dużej dostępności technologii informacyjnych, zarówno na obszarach miejskich, jak i wiejskich, nadal można zauważyć stosunkowo małe zainteresowanie producentów rolnych programami komputerowymi przeznaczonymi dla rolnictwa.

Authors: Małażewska Sylwia , Wąs Adam
Published: January 2024

Opracowanie dotyczy określenia determinant wpływających na wartość dóbr publicznych na przykładzie krajobrazu rolniczego. W celu określenia wpływu cech demograficznych i osobowościowych na wartościowanie krajobrazu przeprowadzono badania empiryczne metodą wywiadu kierowanego na próbie 100 respondentów zamieszkujących wiejsko-miejską gminę Góra Kalwaria w 2015 roku. Gmina została dobrana w sposób celowy, a respondenci do badania w sposób warstwowo-przypadkowy, zgodnie z warstwami ustalonymi na podstawie wyników pozyskanych z Banku Danych Lokalnych GUS. W badaniach przeprowadzono analizy jednowymiarowe oraz zastosowano metodę drzew klasyfikacyjnych i regresyjnych CART, która okazała się przydatna przy określaniu determinant wartości dóbr publicznych na przykładzie krajobrazu rolniczego. Wykazano ujemną zależność między czasem spędzonym na oglądaniu telewizji a wartością krajobrazu, natomiast nie potwierdzono wpływu wysokości dochodu, miejsca zamieszkania oraz płci na wartość krajobrazu rolniczego. W badaniach uzupełniono dotychczas znany zestaw determinant demograficznych o liczbę osób zamieszkujących w gospodarstwie domowym.
Ekonomika, organizacja i sytuacja dochodowa gospodarstw rolnych krajów Unii Europejskiej ukierunkowanych na produkcję roślin okopowych
Authors: Gołaś Zbigniew
Published: January 2024

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki analizy komparatywnej ekonomiki, organizacji oraz efektywności ekonomiczno-finansowej gospodarstw rolnych krajów Unii Europejskiej ukierunkowanych na produkcję roślin okopowych. W analizie wykorzystano statystyki europejskiej bazy danych FADN dotyczące typu TF161 (uprawa roślin okopowych). Badania wykazały, że gospodarstwa ukierunkowane na uprawę roślin okopowych (głównie ziemniaków) znacznie różnią się pod względem wielu cech organizacyjnych, produktywności i dochodowości. Z punktu widzenia efektów dochodowych najwyższą sprawnością cechowały się gospodarstwa we Francji, Holandii, Danii i Niemczech. Na ich tle bardzo słabo prezentowały się gospodarstwa w Polsce i Bułgarii, w których poziom dochodów był bardzo niski i wynikał z niskiej intensywności produkcji, małej skali produkcji, niskich plonów i cen sprzedaży ziemniaków, które przesądzały o niskiej produktywności ziemi i wydajności pracy.

Objective: To investigate the effect of early intervention with an electronic specialist-led ‘proactive’ model of care on glycaemic and clinical outcomes. Research Design and Methods: The STOIC-D Surgery randomised controlled trial was performed at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Eligible participants were adults admitted to a surgical ward during the study with either known diabetes or newly-detected hyperglycaemia (at least one random blood glucose result ≥ 11.1 mmol/L). Participants were randomised 1:1 to standard diabetes care or the intervention consisting of an early consult by a specialist inpatient diabetes team utilising electronic tools for patient identification, communication of recommendations, and therapy intensification. The primary outcome was median patient-day mean glucose (PDMG). The key secondary outcome was incidence of healthcare-associated infection (HAI). Trial registration: ACTRN12620001303932. Results: Between February 12, 2021, and December 17, 2021, 1371 admissions met inclusion criteria with 680 assigned to early intervention and 691 to standard diabetes care. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. The early intervention group achieved a lower median PDMG of 8.2 mmol/L (interquartile range [IQR] 6.9-10.0 mmol/L) compared with 8.6 mmol/L (IQR 7.2-10.3 mmol/L) in the control group for an estimated difference of -0.3 mmol/L (95% confidence interval [95%CI] -0.4 to -0.2 mmol/L, p<0.0001). The incidence of HAI was lower in the intervention group (77 [11%] vs. 110 [16%]), for an absolute risk difference of -4.6% (95%CI -8.2 to -1.0, p=0.016). Conclusions: In surgical inpatients, early diabetes management intervention with an electronic specialist-led diabetes model of care reduces glucose and HAI.

With the development and expansion of computer networks day by day and the diversity of software developed, the damage that possible attacks can cause is increasing beyond the predictions. Intrusion Detection Systems (STS/IDS) are one of the effective defense tools against these potential attacks that are constantly increasing and diversifying. The ultimate goal is to train these systems with various artificial intelligence methods, to detect subsequent attacks in real time and to take the necessary precautions. In this study, classical feature selection methods and Frequent Item Set Mining were used in feature selection in a hybrid model, and it was aimed to classify network traffic data for normal and attack by using many machine learning methods, including Logistic Regression, with the final features obtained. The method uses a data set originally containing 85 features to make a decision while making this classification. These attributes are extracted using CICFlowMeter from a PCAP file where network traffic is recorded. The results show that the proposed method in the study classifies more than 225000 records in the data set with a success rate of 97.68%.
Inflammatory Mastitis in Implant Breast Carriers-A New Form of Presentation of Covid-19: Case Report
Authors: De Luna Gallardo Daniel
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Today with more than 190 million confirmed cases and more than 4 million deaths worldwide, SARS-COVID-19 has become an unprecedented challenge. Its molecular structure, spread-forms, and clinical presentation are areas of continuous study due to its constant change and new forms of presentation and dicipation. A clinical case with COVID-19 disease with bilateral non-lactating inflammatory mastitis in a patient with breast implants is presented. Discussion: Depending on its etiology, mastitis can be classified as infectious (septic or bacterial) and non-infectious (aseptic or inflammatory). Non-infectious or inflammatory mastitis is not related to the infection of a pathogen. This group can be related to mammary duct ectasia, inflammatory cross-reaction and foreign bodies. A new etiology has been reported as postCOVID-19 vaccination mastitis; however, mastitis has not been documented during coviD-19 infection. We can hypothesize that the pathophysiology of our case can involve a cross-reaction to the viral peak protein of 1273 amino acids with antigens found on the surface of microtextured implants or related in a loss on the homeostasis in the production and secretion of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) during COVID-19 infection. Conclusion: Mastitis represents a common pathology before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although they are considered different entities, mastitis could be considered a rare manifestation fo COVID- 19 disease. Its approach, diagnosis and treatment must be timely and protocolized through a multidisciplinary group.

Published: January 2024

A challenging task when developing real-time Automatic Music Transcription (AMT) methods is directly leveraging inputs from multichannel raw audio without any handcrafted signal transformation and feature extraction steps. The crucial problems are that raw audio only contains an amplitude in each timestamp, and the signals of the left and right channels have different amplitude intensities and onset times. Thus, this study addressed these issues by proposing the IRawNet method with fused feature layers to merge different amplitude from multichannel raw audio. IRawNet aims to transcribe Indonesian classical music notes. It was validated with the Gamelan music dataset. The Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) overcame the class imbalance of the Gamelan music dataset. Under various experimental scenarios, the performance effects of oversampled data, hyperparameters tuning, and fused feature layers are analyzed. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed method was compared with Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), Deep WaveNet, and the monochannel IRawNet. The results proved that proposed method almost achieves superior results in entire metric performances with 0.871 of accuracy, 0.988 of AUC, 0.927 of precision, 0.896 of recall, and 0.896 of F1 score.

Published: January 2024

Whether an experience is perceived as ordinary or extraordinary (i.e., memorable, meaningful, transformational) (Duerden et al., 2018) depends on a variety of potential factors including but not limited to time, social connection, and reflection. The purpose of this experimental study was to assess how activity type, social connection, and reflection type influences experience type, ordinary versus extraordinary, perceptions overtime. Data was collected from 209 undergraduates using a 4x4 experimental design. Participants engaged in one of four different 20-minute activities based upon Melton’s (2017) family activity model (e.g., core:parallel, core:joint, balance:parallel, and balance:joint). Each activity was run for four different groups resulting in 16 different groups. The 16 groups were randomly assigned to four different reflection conditions (i.e., synchronous, asynchronous, solo, none) which occurred two weeks after the initial activities. Repeated measures ANOVAs will be conducted to assess the relationship overtime between activity type, social connection, and perceived experience type. Analysis is currently underway on the collected data and will be completed in time to share at the conference.
Humanness Index for Designed Experiences
Authors: Manrao Harsh
Published: January 2024

In the experience economy, where experiences are meticulously crafted, the measurement of Humanness of these designed experiences holds significant advantages for users, designers, and experience providers. Humanness comprises of ‘human nature’ and ‘human attributes’. Enhancement and degradation of humanness in an experience, manifests as emotions. The occurrence and absence of these emotions is observable and measurable. The qualitative segment of this study delves into existing definitions of humanness and emotions. Overlapping this knowledge, one can discern emotions that signal enhancement or degradation of humanness. This can be synthesised into new models for the connectedness and disconnectedness in an experience. The quantitative phase of the study tests these models by asking 250 participants to rank key emotions and the perceived level of Humanness during the most significant 'peak-experience' of their lives. Statistical tools process this data to generate coefficients linking humanness with emotions. Further developed into an equation, this measurement of emotions can forecast the Humanness Index of a designed experience. This Index shall serve as a valuable tool for users to make informed choices between different experiences, thereby motivating organisations to prioritise humanness in the design of their experiences.
The Creative Potential of Productive Inconvenience as a Design Approach
Authors: Kloeckl Kristian
Published: January 2024

A prevalent focus in design has for some time been on reducing frictions in everyday lives, a solutions-centric focus on reducing effort and discomfort while fostering convenience. This paper questions this underlying assumption and illustrates with a case study of a research project on human-robot collaboration how abandoning convenience for a turn to inconvenience can become a novel basis for a productive human experience. Inconvenience as a concept is situated within a growing literature that focuses on cracks, slips, and glitches of everyday life and on how we experience technology, rather than the seamless and user friendly imperative. An exploration into the nature of convenience and a discussion of its flip side gives way to a proposal for a design approach that embraces productive inconvenience at its core.
