“So Let Me Introduce to You:” A Cluster Analysis of the Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band Album Cover
Authors: Tyskewicz Matti Jo ,   Pennsylvania Communication Association
Published: September 2024

The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is noted as one of the most influential and groundbreaking albums of all-time. However, much of literature focuses the study of its influ-ence on merely the music, instead of the album as an entire art-work. The Sgt. Pepper album cover is a vibrant and lively collage that embodies a very different tune to the popular "Fab Four." At an unsettling time in history and the band's career, the Beatles decided to end their world tour performances and become only a studio-recording band through introducing the fictional Sgt. Pep-per's Band. The purpose of this paper is to use cluster criticism in order to determine how the Sgt. Pepper album cover reveals the band's motive and embodies transition. Through studying the key terms of the visual discourse - the bed of flowers, the blue sky, the wax "Fab Four" Beatles, and Sgt. Pepper's Band - it was determined that the album artwork creates the metaphor of a gravesite to send the message of transition. By contrasting the "Fab Four" performers and Sgt. Pepper's musicians through col-ors and instruments, the Beatles create distance from their past identities and careers, asking audiences to accept the new artistic identity of the band.
Understanding Displacement in a Restless World: The Phenomenology of Displacement that Intersects Ethnic, Socioeconomic and Cultural Boundaries
Authors: Kauffman Erika L. ,   Pennsylvania Communication Association
Published: September 2024

Home. This word triggers memories both positive and negative, happy and painful. Every person has a connection with the idea of home, yet many are plagued by a restless spirit or a physical rejection of the place they call home. The feeling of displacement transcends physical displacement as it is experienced by people of various socioeconomic classes, ethnicities, and heritages. Dis-placement is felt through varying degrees of personal feelings of not-belonging, at times despite the external circumstances of an individual. Through first identifying the feelings associated with being at home, the general feelings of displacement will be ex-trapolated from research done on the phenomenology of home. This paper is meant as an introduction to the broad topic of home and homelessness and concludes with a series of thought-provoking questions on how we think and interact with others in relation to these topics.

Numerous instances of pneumonia with uncertain cause were reported in December 2019 from small seafood market in Wuhan, China [1]. The World Health Organization's Institution (WHOI) then gave this unique virus, which is a member of the beta coronavirus family, the names severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and new coronavirus (nCoV) [2]. This disease spreads from China to 33 other nations within two months. At the end of February 2020, there were around 77658 confirmed cases, including 9126 severe cases and 2663 deaths in China and 23309 confirmed cases and 33 deaths abroad [3]. As the correct therapeutic alternatives have not yet been developed, early disease detection remains the only method for disease prevention. Methods for detecting nucleic acids point the way for a proper confirmation of COVID-19. Clinical signs displayed by patients infected with this virus are comparable to those seen in SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV cases. Both direct and indirect contact with an infected person as well as droplet transmission of the virus are possible. This method of transmission has the potential to harm the liver, nervous, and respiratory systems [4]. This comprehensive study gives an overview of the virology, molecular immunological pathogenesis, and established detection techniques for SARS-CoV2

Published: September 2024

Yeasts are ubiquitous and will be present in various types of patient specimens and patient populations. This chapter includes the most common yeasts that cause human disease and also yeast-like fungal organisms that may cause human disease. Examination of yeast preparations will show round to oval budding cells (blastoconidia). Some cells may be elongated, forming pseudohyphae, and a few species will show actual arthroconidia and true hyphae (Geotrichum and Trichosporon). Cryptococcus spp. or Rhodotorula spp. may produce capsules. Yeasts are best grown at 25 to 30ᴼC on Sabauraud's dextrose or Sabhi agar and often grow on primary bacteriological media without inhibitors. The addition of cycloheximide will inhibit many yeast strains. Yeast typically grows as cream-colored but may also be white, yellow, tan, orange, red, or dematiaceous (brown or black pigment). The two most medically common and significant yeasts are Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. Candida auris is now a top concern for hospitalized patients due to its excellent resistance to antifungal medications.

A full-scale CFD model of scavenge air inlet temperature on two-stroke marine diesel engine combustion and exhaust emission characteristics
Authors: Pehlivan Enes Fatih , Altın İsmail
Published: September 2024

Most ships in the maritime transport sector are equipped with large two-stroke marine diesel engines in their propulsion systems. Therefore, ensuring stable and long-term operation of these engines is crucial to maintaining freight transportation. The design of the ship's machinery, particularly the diesel engine, is a crucial step in achieving this goal. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools can be used to achieve this goal. This article presents a full-scale CFD study on the effect of different scavenge air inlet temperatures (300, 312, 330 and 340 K) on the combustion process and generation of exhaust emissions in a two-stroke marine diesel engine using ANSYS Forte software. Regarding the cylinder pressure, the presented model agrees well with experimental data. The maximum cylinder pressure decreases as the scavenge air inlet temperature increases, whereas the maximum cylinder temperature increases as the scavenge air inlet temperature increases. The maximum NOX, CO and UHC emission values are calculated to be 2256.5, 20375.8 and 3743.9 ppm, respectively, at a scavenge air inlet temperature of 340 K. Due to the higher combustion temperature caused by the increasing scavenge air inlet temperature, it is observed that the exhaust emission levels increase.

Cytokines regulate the functioning of the mucosal immune system at various levels of innate and acquired immune response. The disturbances in cytokines balance result in the loss of the mucous membranes barrier function as well as the development of a protumorigenic or chronic autoimmune microenvironment. Changes in the local microenvironment of the mucous membranes as a result of a complex network of interactions between cytokines and target cells may be a key step towards understanding the pathogenesis of immune-mediated mucosal system diseases and the development of new effective methods of diagnosis and therapy. In this article the cytokine in situ production of IL-15, αIFN and Reg3γ, IL-8, IL-17 and TGFβ was assessed in 55 patients with immunopathology of the mucous membranes (malignant and benign neoplasms of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, polypous rhinosinusitis and Crohn’s disease). The relationship of cytokines and mechanisms of innate and acquired immunity has been established under conditions of pathological tolerance and chronic autoimmune inflammation development.

Published: September 2024

Over an 11-year observation period, type 2 diabetes mellitus (E11) was recorded in isolated cases at the age of 25-29 years against the preceding background of primary incidence of obesity associated with excess intake of energy resources (E66). A low incidence of various forms of impaired glucose tolerance was reported (R73). The incidence rate of dyslipidemia (E78) was comparable to the incidence rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Predictors and risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus were determined in more than 1,5 thousand healthy respondents. More than 80,0% of respondents had a low 10-year risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the analysis indicated a negative effect of atherogenic lipids on the levels of hemoglobin glycation, a probable effect on the development of insulin resistance, an increased risk of prediabetes and clinical and laboratory manifestations of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with a high 10-year risk. In the group of healthy workingage respondents, the RR high risk/low risk (according to Findrisk) of prediabetes was 2,58 (1,58; 4,22) and was statistically significant.

Analysis of factors influencing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus showed a high prevalence of both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors in all groups of the workingage population of the Republic of Belarus.

When planning activities for the primary prevention of non-communicable diseases in the population, it is necessary to be based on the results of the assessment and the feasibility of reducing population risks. Risk assessment makes it possible to identify and form followup groups of population for which it is possible to administer preventive treatment to correct metabolic disorders.

Authors: Vlasova N. G. , Buzdalkin K. N. , Mataras A. N.
Published: September 2024

For the first time, the transition from an emergency exposure situation to an existing exposure situation has been scientifically substantiated and a draft resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus on the implementation of this transition has been developed. The analysis of the radiation doses of the population from natural sources of ionizing radiation and Chernobyl origin allowed us to propose a reference level of exposure of citizens of Belarus in the current situation of the existing exposure of 10 mSv per year. The value of the reference level is mainly determined by the existing exposure of the population from natural sources, mainly radon. It has been proved that the radiation from the Chernobyl fallout is currently significantly lower than from natural sources. The proposed value of the reference level for the post-Chernobyl period coincides with the reference level adopted in Japan after the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

Published: September 2024

PT. Perkebunan Nusantara IX is a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) manufacturing rubber processing to produce Ribbed Smoke Sheets (RSS) located in Salatiga City, Central Java. Several things are not done by the company, namely the inefficient trajectory caused by the company's target being too high compared to the output produced. The production process has an imbalance in the trajectory, in which there is still an accumulation of materials/goods in process in several workstations so that actual production is not meet production targets, and the company is having difficulty meeting market demand. So it is necessary to balance the trajectory to answer these problems. Increasing the efficiency of the production balance can be obtained by balancing the trajectory using the theory constraint method aimed at reducing idle time and accumulation of goods so that the production process becomes more efficient. The method that can be used is CPM/PERT. The steps used are grouping work elements into workstations, calculating the value of workload, tracking efficiency, smoothing index, and balance delay, which are then compared based on the two methods. The results obtained are that the RSS production line has a high track efficiency value based on comparing the CPM/PERT method. Hence, the suggestion for the Ribbed Smoke Sheet (RSS) production line so that the line efficiency value is high following the CPM/PERT method is to make three workstations so that the value obtained is the track efficiency is 85% and increases by 21% from the initial track efficiency value, from 64% to 85%. The idle time value decreased from the initial 4.66 minutes to 1.51 minutes, the Balance Delay value also decreased from 37% to 16%, and the Smoothing Index value decreased from the initial 3.3 minutes to 1.08 minutes.

The purpose of this research is to find out the causes of product defects using the Seven Tools method and statistically mapping the problems in order to see corrective actions that must be taken based on the factors that cause product defects using the Failure Mode And Analysis (FMEA) method. From the results of the SOD analysis, it was obtained that the highest RPN value was 36 in the damaged packaging container. The recommendations for improvement given are that companies must implement clear SOP, conduct job education and training for employees so that later they can maximize the production process in the company.

Ülkelerin Doğal Sınır ve Koşullarının Jeopolitik Risk Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi: Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti Örneği
Authors: Kapan Kaan , Eraslan Büşra
Published: September 2024

Jeopolitik açıdan sürekli bir güç ve tesir mücadelesi içinde olan uluslararası aktörlerin sahip olduğu doğal sınır ve koşulları ülkelerin iç ve dış alandaki mücadelelerinde oldukça öneme sahiptir. Küresel devletlerin iç güvenliklilerini sağlayamadan yeni bir sahada jeopolitik stratejiler belirleyerek yeni cephe açmadıkları geçmişten günümüze küresel anlamda güçlü ülkeler incelendiğinde rahatlıkla görülebilmektedir. Diğer taraftan günümüzde küresel açıdan güçlü olarak sınıflandırılan ülkelerinde genellikle doğal sınır ve koşulları açısından önemli avantajlara sahip olduğu da görülmektedir. Söz konusu durumu bir örnekle açıklamak gerekirse Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti'nin coğrafi konumu, komşu ülkelerle sınırları ve geniş doğal kaynakları hem tarihsel hem de modern perspektiflerde benzersiz avantajlar ve önemli dezavantajlar yaratmıştır; bu çalışma, Çin'in fiziki coğrafyasının uluslararası ilişkilerdeki rolünü, jeopolitik stratejilerinin şekillenmesinde doğal koşulların nasıl kritik bir faktör olduğunu ve bu etmenlerin Çin'in küresel sahnede kalmasında aslında önemli bir güç olarak öne çıkmasına dair derinlemesine bir analiz sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Ülkelerin doğal sınır ve koşullarını oluşturan jeopolitiğin değişmeyen unsurları olarak; coğrafi konum, topografya, iklim, bitki örtüsü, toprak ve hidrografya özellikleri gibi faktörler ön plana çıkmaktadır. Söz konusu hususlar ise bir devletin uluslararası arenadaki gücünü ve etkisini belirleyen temel yapı taşları olduğu bilinmektedir. Çin, dünyanın en büyük ikinci ekonomisi ve en kalabalık ülkesi olarak, bu unsurlar açısından oldukça avantajlıdır. Ancak, bu avantajların yanı sıra, yaklaşık 10 milyon kilometrekarelik yüzölçümü nedeniyle karmaşık fiziki coğrafyası da önemli zorluklar da yaratmaktadır. Sahip olduğu unsurlar üzerinden jeopolitik hedeflerini iyi düşünmeli ve onlara göre stratejini geliştirmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma, jeopolitik teorinin temel prensipleri çerçevesinde, Çin'in coğrafi şartlarının uluslararası politika ve strateji üzerindeki önemini ve etkilerini, bu etmenlerin Çin'in global stratejilerini nasıl şekillendirdiğini ve buna karşılık uluslararası ilişkilerdeki pozisyonunu nasıl şekillendirmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaya çalışılmıştır.
A Comparative Study of Mean Square Error, Dimensions, Signal to Noise Ratio of Colored and Non Colored Clustered Original Images Along With Compresses Version after the Image Segmentation and Filtering Method
Authors: Chakraborty Abir
Published: September 2024

Primarily author has already done one fundamental paper work on image clustering and segmentation but here in this paper author has continued that same type of work on clustered and segmented images as a mode of comparative study for author has chosen three different parameterslike mean square error, peak SNR and dimensions of images (length, width, height). The author has all three parametric methods on one particular to justify the comparison. So this paper is a cumulative case of a comparative study for which author has chosen the above mentioned parameters to justifythe best results of the clustered and segmented images.

k-Means Clustering and Birth Rates
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

A common problem in machine learning is to take some kind of data and break it up into “clumps” that best reflect how the data is structured. A set of points which are all collectively close to each other should be in the same clump. A simple picture will clarify any vagueness in this: cluster-example Here the data consists of points in the plane.

Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

Problem: Prove there are infinitely many primes Solution: Denote by $ \pi(n)$ the number of primes less than or equal to $ n$. We will give a lower bound on $ \pi(n)$ which increases without bound as $ n \to \infty$. Note that every number $ n$ can be factored as the product of a square free number $ r$ (a number which no square divides) and a square $ s^2$.
