Asymptotic behavior of blowup solutions for Henon type parabolic equations with exponential nonlinearity
Authors: Chang Caihong , Zhang Zhengce
Published: July 2023

This article concerns the blow up behavior for the Henon type parabolic equation withexponential nonlinearity, $$ u_t=\Delta u+|x|^{\sigma}e^u\quad \text{in } B_R\times \mathbb{R}_+, $$ where \(\sigma\geq 0\) and \(B_R=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^N: |x|<R\}\).We consider all cases in which blowup of solutions occurs, i.e. \(N\geq 10+4\sigma\).Grow up rates are established by a certain matching of different asymptotic behaviorsin the inner region (near the singularity) and the outer region (close to the boundary).For the cases \(N>10+4\sigma\) and \(N=10+4\sigma\), the asymptotic expansions of stationary solutions have different forms, so two cases are discussed separately. Moreover, different inner region widths in two cases are also obtained.
Reduced Graphene Oxide on Activated Carbon-Manganese Dioxide Composite Materials for High-Performance Supercapacitor Electrodes
Authors: Fachrudin Adinandra Caesar , Sabarman Harsojo
Published: July 2023

This study presents the addition of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on the surface of activated carbon-manganese dioxide (ACMnO2) composite material via high-temperature variations of 350 to 450 °C to increase the specific capacitance of the ACMnO2/rGO composite electrode. The composite material is synthesized by coating the slurry mixture on the aluminum sheet using a 2-step doctor blade method with polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) material and dimethylformamide (DMF) solution as a binder. Then symmetric supercapacitor is fabricated using filter paper as a separator and 3M potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution as an electrolyte. The composite material analysis is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) as well as cyclic voltammetry (CV) for the electrochemical properties. The ACMnO2/rGO composite electrode at a temperature variation of 350 °C showed the highest specific capacitance of 459.79 F g-1 at a scan rate of 9 mV s-1 with an energy density of 63.859 Wh kg-1. The addition of rGO on the surface of the ACMnO2 composite material increased the specific capacitance by about 58% compared to without rGO, showing promises for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes.

Authors: Lopes Nuno Santos
Published: July 2023

A expressão jurídica atual do conceito de Região Ultraperiférica encontra-se nos artigos 349º e 355º do Tratado sobre o Funcionamento da União Europeia. Não obstante, a sua origem remonta à década de 1980, influenciado também pelos Açores, na pessoa do então Presidente do Governo da Região Autónoma dos Açores, João Bosco Mota Amaral. Apesar dos milhares de quilómetros que as separa do continente europeu, as Regiões Ultraperiféricas são parte integrante da UE, representando a presença europeia em zonas estratégicas do mundo. Entre outros documentos, salienta-se a importância das estratégias adotadas pelaUE, concretamente em 2017 e em 2022. Neste artigo, propõe-se analisar a relevância das RUP para a União Europeia, enquanto atores e parceiros dinâmicos, focando essencialmente nos Açores, cuja presença e importância tem sido fulcral para o seu desenvolvimento em áreas diversas.

Authors: DOĞAN MERAL Ezgi , KILIÇ Tuğba , KAZAZ Soner
Published: July 2023

One of the factors influencing rose crossbreeding success is parental selection. The success rate of a breeder is influenced by factors such as ploidy level, pollen quality, seed number per fruit, and seed germination rate, which indicate parental productivity. This study was conducted to determine the productivity of Halfeti Rose (Rosa odorata Louis XIV) as a seed parent and its compatibility with the commercial rose varieties in terms of combination. Six commercial-cut roses (Inferno, Moonlight, Tineke, Black Baccara, Lady Rose, Speelwark) were used as pollen parents. Fruit set rate, seed number per fruit, seed and fruit weight, seed germination rate, and pollen germination rate were recorded. Among the commercial-cut roses, the pollen germination rate ranged from 7.82% to 23.55%. The highest pollen germination rate was observed in the Tineke and Black Baccara varieties, respectively. The fruit set rate of combinations where Halfeti Rose was used as the seed parent was determined as 63.75%, the number of seeds per fruit was 5.05, and the seed germination rate was 31.21%. Based on PCA and Heatmap analysis, Halfeti x Speelwark, Halfeti x Black Baccara, and Halfeti, x Lady Rose were found to be the most successful combinations. Halfeti Rose exhibited values close to the overall average in terms of fruit set rate and seed germination rate among rose breeding studies. The parameters mentioned in studies on rose breeding show that the Halfeti rose has the potential to be used as a seed parent.

Oktoechos Classification and Generation of Liturgical Music using Deep Learning Frameworks
Authors: Rajan Rajeev , Shiburaj Varsha , Joshy Amlu Anna
Published: July 2023

An important feature of the music repertoire of the Syrian tradition is the system of classifying melodies into eight tunes,  called ’oktoe\={c}hos’.  In oktoe\={c}hos tradition, liturgical hymns are sung in eight modes or eight colours (known as eight ’niram’ in Indian tradition). In this paper, recurrent neural network (RNN) models are  used for  oktoe\={c}hos genre classification with the help of musical texture features (MTF) and i-vectors.The performance of the proposed approaches is evaluated using a newly created corpus of liturgical music in the South Indian language, Malayalam. Long short-term memory (LSTM)-based and gated recurrent unit(GRU)-based experiments report the average classification accuracy of  83.76\%  and 77.77\%, respectively, with a significant margin over the i-vector-DNN framework.   The experiments demonstrate the potential of RNN models in learning temporal information through MTF in recognizing eight modes of oktoe\={c}hos system. Furthermore, since the Greek liturgy and Gregorian chant also share similar musical traits with Syrian tradition, the musicological insights observed can potentially be applied to those traditions. Generation of oktoe\={c}hos genre music style has also been discussed using an encoder-decoder framework. The quality of the generated files is evaluated using a  perception test.

Published: July 2023

Testing for COVID-19 is an essential component of pandemic response, but equitable access across the communities has been a challenge due to failure of federally-funded programs to reach areas of greatest need. A partnership between the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness, the Kentucky Nurses Association, and community leaders helped enable and facilitate a novel, community-based approach. Using a core of trained nurses and a larger group of volunteers, a mobile testing clinic process was developed and implemented in Louisville, Kentucky. From November 11, 2020 through June 30, 2022, 187 mobile testing clinics were held at 26 unique sites with 9337 tests performed. Sites focused on areas of Louisville where poverty density is the greatest, where recognized outbreaks occurred, and where community partners requested testing access. Fourteen nurse team leaders and more than 750 volunteers supported these efforts which were largely funded by existing resources. Standard Operating Procedures were developed to enable standardized training and activities across all clinics. The result is a process that has continued and has formed the basis for mobile vaccination clinics using many of the same processes.

Published: July 2023

Issues occurred in marine tourism Komodo National Park can affect the satisfaction of tourists which threatens the sustainability of tourism. This research intends to examine the effect of service quality on domestic tourist satisfaction and revisit intention of 100 domestic tourists who had visited marine tourism in Komodo National Park. Data were collected through observation, questionnaire, and documentation using purposive sampling. Concepts used are service quality, satisfaction, and revisit intention. The measurement model (Convergent Validity, Discriminant Validity, Composite Reliability, and Cronbach Alpha) and structural model (model fit, R Square, Path Coefficient, T-Statistics, Predictive Relevance (Q2), and Path Coefficient) tests were utilized to evaluate the data using SEM PLS student version (3.0). The result shows that the service quality positively and significantly affects the satisfaction as well as the intention to revisit of domestic tourists in marine tourism at Komodo National Park. This indicates that customer satisfaction and intention to revisit are closely associated with service quality. In addition, satisfaction provides a partial mediation effect between service quality and intention to revisit. In other words, service quality can influences domestic tourists' intentions to revisit marine tourism in Komodo National Park with the mediation of satisfaction or without the mediation of satisfaction.
Service Quality for Customers’ Satisfaction: A Literature Review
Authors: Dimaro Mustapha Edres
Published: July 2023

Service quality is a very important component in any business-related activity. This is especially so, to marketer a customer’s evaluation of service quality and the resulting level of satisfaction are perceived to affect bottom line measures of business success (Lacobucci et al., 1994). Customer expectations are beliefs about a service that serve as standards against which service performance is judged (Zrithaml et al., 1993); which customer thinks a service provider should offer, rather than on what might be on offer (Parasuram et al., 1988).

Authors: John Namara , Milos Brkljac , Thomas Satyadas
Published: July 2023

Background: Sharp penetrating trauma represents 4.1%-6.9% of all major trauma cases in the UK. The incidence of Sharp penetrating trauma is rising, with 47,000 offences in England and Wales in 2019. There has been limited published data on the victims of sharp penetrating trauma. Methods: We performed a single centre retrospective case note review of patients admitted to an urban major trauma centre following an assault with a sharp object from 1st January 2014 to the 31st December 2018. Data was collected on demographics, injury pattern, management, and outcome. Results: In total, 686 patients were included in the study. There was a year-on-year increase of admissions with sharp penetrating trauma from 100 admissions in 2014, to 194 in 2018. The majority of patients were male, with a mean age of 31, and 73% of our patients were of Caucasian ethnicity. Patients presented most frequently on weekends (53%). The length of stay increased over the study period from 2.3 days in 2014 to 4.0 days in 2018. The thorax was the most commonly injured body region, involved in 29% of presentations, followed by the abdomino-pelvis (21%). 51% of patients presented with multiple injuries, and the average number of stab wounds per patient increased from 1.95 in 2014 to 2.40 in 2018. Conclusion: Our study has demonstrated the incidence and severity of sharp penetrating trauma is increasing in central Manchester. The authors advocate the creation of a national knife crime database to further the implementation of prevention strategies.

Multiple Meningocele in Klippel-Feil Syndrome: Case Report
Authors: Hafed Radhi , Labib O , Chebaatha A , Oukessou Y , Rouadi S S , Abada R , Roubal M , Mahtar M
Published: July 2023

Klippel–Feil syndrome (KFS) is a rare congenital skeletal malformation characterized by the fusion of various cervical and occasionally thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. It may be seen as the fusion between two vertebras of all cervical vertebras, Congenital cervical fusion occurs as a result of failure in normal segmentation of cervical summits. Cause of this failure is unknown and occurs at second-eight weeks of gestation. 25 years old, patient presented to our counseling center with a 4-month history of progressive dysphagia. Ent exam showed a soft retropharyngeal mass displacing the left tonsil measuring a little about 6 cm with no sign of ulceration or local inflammation, a short neck was noted with a limitation of flexion and extension movement and low-lying hairline with a psychomotor retardation; which raises the suspicion of Klippel Feil syndrome undiagnosed. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done which showed a cervical cystic formation compressive oval well limited with regular contours and fluid content with dark aspect in T1 weighted sequences and bright in T2 weighted sequences with regular wall enhanced after injection of gadolinium measuring 8.2*4.3 cm spread over 8.9 cm high This formation appears to continue with the subarachnoid spaces of the posterior cerebral fossa through the hypoglossal nerve canal with doubt about involvement of the jugular foramen. Thoracic CT scan demonstrated a lateral cystic mass exiting out of the intervertebral foramen of T6-T7 showing the same characteristics as the cervical formation above. Klippel-Feil syndrome is a rare congenital skeletal malformation characterized by fusion of several cervical and sometimes thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, leading to a low hairline and a short neck. The pathological feature is congenital fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae. The fusion is thought to be associated with reduced expression of the Pax gene in sclerotomes during chondrification of the vertebra. Klippel-Feil syndrome is usually diagnosed in childhood. However, associated abnormalities may delay diagnosis. The challenge for the specialist is to recognize concomitant abnormalities and perform the appropriate work-up for the diagnosis of Klippel-Feil syndrome.

Published: July 2023

Background: Primary mycotic aortic aneurysm (PMAA) is a localized dilation of the aortic wall caused by direct spread of bacteria via the bloodstream to the aortic wall and subsequent development of an aneurysm. The term mycotic aortic aneurysm was first used to describe a patient with four aortic aneurysms which have a mushroom-like appearance, and the term has since been used. Aim: To conduct a literature review and to report a series of cases of infra-renal mycotic aortic aneurysms, their presentation and subsequent outcome and management. Methods: Information was gathered retrospectively from medical records for patients who were over the age of 18 and who had presented with PMAAs at Cumberland infirmary o from April 2016 to July 2022. Results: A total of six patients were assessed in our study, mean age was 57-88 years. Presenting complains were: Back pain (n=2), abdominal pain (n=1), fever (n=4), collapsed (n=2), confusion (n=1) and other clinical presentations were leg pain, feeling unwell and malaise each reported in one patient each. Potential risk factors for PMAA identified were malignancy (n=2), diabetes mellitus (n=2), chronic kidney disease (n=2), immunosuppressive medication (n=2) and alcohol misuse (n=1). Potential sources of infection were retroperitoneal inflammation (n=1), pyelonephritis (n=1), retroperitoneal /psoas infection (n=2), duodenitis (n=1), systemic sepsis (n=1). Management can be surgical intervention such as Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) (n=2), or axillo-bifemoral bypass (n=2) all of them had post-operative antibiotics or only antibiotics (n=3), however two patients of them died. Conclusion: PMAAs are rare but they have high risk of morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis is challenging but CT A-abdomen and pelvis remains valuable for diagnosis. Surgery, either bypass or EVAR with antibiotics, is a cornerstone for management, however other alternatives can be considered.

Published: July 2023

Two experiments were carried out under greenhouse conditions at the College of Agriculture - University of Anbar for the spring season 2018, using plastic seedlings containers on sandy soil to study the effect of 6 Benzylaminopurine growth regulator and used at a concentration of 250 mg l-1 on seedlings performance of six varieties of wheat, namely; IBA 99, Bohooth 10, Bohooth 22, Abu Ghraib, Bohooth 158 and Ezz under four levels of saline irrigation water 3.00, 4.50, 6.00 and 7.50 dS m-1 in addition to the comparison treatment distilled water 0 dS m-1. The results of the experiment showed that the low concentrations of salts in the nutrient medium activate the radicle growth in the wheat plant. The seeds of wheat germinated in the irrigated medium were outperformed with salty water 3.00 dS m-1 with the highest averages of the studied traits. Ezz cultivar was the most tolerant category of salinity of irrigation water compared to other cultivars. The results of the experiment also showed that soaking the seeds of wheat with a growth regulator solution 6-Benzylaminopurine contributed to reducing the negative effect resulting from the increase in saline stress in the germination medium which improved the seed germination and seed growth characteristics under saline stress. The research recommends using the Ezz variety in the event of high salinity in irrigation water, as well as treating the seeds with the 6-BAP growth regulator to increase the tolerance of seeds to the stress of irrigation water salinity.

Published: July 2023

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to mankind. and it has posed a huge threat to human life. However, in the process of fighting the epidemic, an inspiring anti-epidemic spirit has also emerged. The anti-epidemic spirit has a huge spiritual guiding role, which is beneficial for college students to understand the value of life, to master the content of ideological and political theory, to further gather the power of innovation, and to boost the dream of the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation. This paper discusses the integration of the anti-epidemic spirit into the ideological and political education in colleges and universities. On the basis of introducing the connotation of the anti-epidemic spirit, it discusses the importance of integrating the spirit into the ideological and political education in colleges and universities, and proposes an effective way to integrate the anti-epidemic spirit into the ideological and political education in colleges and universities. It can provide reference value for the development of ideological and political education in colleges and universities in China.
How Family Capital and Educational Level Affect Individuals’ Employment: Analysis Based on Data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) 2017
Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Tang Xu , Huang Rong , Zhang Qiren
Published: July 2023

Both family capital and education level are important factors that affect individuals’ employment. This study used survey data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) 2017 and conducted descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses on the data using SPSS 26.0 as the main research tool. It was found that both family capital and education level had a significant positive effect on individual employment, and there was also a positive correlation between family capital and education level. There is a strong connection between both family capital, education level and individual employment. Individuals can make use of the advantage of family capital or make up for the disadvantage of family capital by acquiring higher education through their own efforts, so as to obtain better employment opportunities.
ANALYTICAL DEFLECTIONS AND STRESS ANALYSIS IN SLENDER BAR FRAMED STRUCTURES SUBJECTED TO ANTISYMMETRIC LATERAL LOADS
Authors: RODRIGUEZ JORGE DANIEL , HERRERA NAVARRO IGNACIO
Published: July 2023

Mechanical analysis of the lateral deflections in slender structures is an interesting task to model the mechanical response to transverse forces like seismic or wind forces. Special interest is focused on buildings, communication towers, or tower cranes, as well as any other kind of framed structures. A pure analytical solution for the lateral deflections and vertical displacements, stresses and bending moments of a framed structure under power-law lateral loads is presented in a non-dimensional form. The internal forces of the structure are stated by the force method which drives to a set of linear equations, which are analytically solved, thus reaching an exact, continuous, and differentiable solution. A parametric analysis is performed on a simplified case to show the influence of the dimensionless parameters on the solution. An explicit solution for deflections and bending moments is included for one and two structural levels. The solution is validated via numerical software, using STR and ABAQUS, upon a population of ten, building-like structures.

Fictions souveraines : héritages féministes de la Kahina
Authors: Crucifix Edwige
Published: July 2023

L’auteure étudie les multiples réappropriations de l’histoire de la Kahina dans la sphère francophone en procédant à la lecture croisée d’œuvres savantes, publiées par des orientalistes français, et d’ouvrages de fiction, écrits par des femmes. La lecture intertextuelle souligne les mécanismes de formation et de transmission d’un héritage féministe autour de cette souveraine amazighe, dont la légende rapporte qu’elle s’opposa à l’invasion arabe de l’Afrique du Nord au viie siècle. Bien que sa vie et son identité demeurent incertaines, la Kahina s’est prêtée depuis le Moyen Âge « à toutes sortes de récupérations » (Modéran), tour à tour symbole de berbérité, de féminisme, de nationalisme, d’identité juive, ou encore de lutte des classes. Pour les auteures mentionnées dans cet article, s’inscrire dans l’héritage contesté de la Kahina correspond à une « recherche des origines » (Halimi) qui émancipe et relie des femmes d’horizons différents, et traverse la frontière symbolique de la Méditerranée. À travers ces mécanismes d’identification transculturelle, l’auteure de cet article propose de considérer les (ré)appropriations féministes de la Kahina comme des sites potentiels de résistance anti-impériale, retournant l’instrumentalisation qu’en avait faite l’empire français et offrant une réinterprétation de l’histoire à travers la fiction. La Kahina devient figure de proue d’un panthéon féministe transculturel, sans cesse réinventé.
La laïcité et l’héritage féministe religieux au Québec : du refus à la réappropriation
Authors: Philipps Johanne
Published: July 2023

Au Québec, l’égalité femmes-hommes a été au cœur des débats sur la laïcité, en occultant le féminisme religieux, bien qu’il constitue un héritage dont la réappropriation permet de concevoir une laïcité radicale. L’autrice présente d’abord la concrétude de cet héritage et des éléments du contexte menant à son refus. Puis elle expose la position du Conseil du statut de la femme, négatrice de cet héritage. Ce refus a conduit le Conseil à défendre une vision androcentrique de la laïcité, laissant intacte la liberté religieuse des hommes de dominer les femmes dans l’Église catholique. L’autrice préconise la réappropriation de l’héritage féministe religieux afin d’ouvrir de nouvelles possibilités.
Is retroflexion a stable cue for distributional learning for speech sounds across languages? Learning for some bilingual adults, but not generalisable to a wider population in a well powered pre-registered study
Authors: Goh Hannah L. , Onnis Luca , Styles Suzy J.
Published: July 2023

Bilinguals are widely reported to have certain kinds of cognitive advantages, including language learning advantages. One possible pathway is a language-specific transfer effect, whereby sensitivity to structural regularities in known languages can be brought to to-be-acquired languages that share particular features. Here we tested for transfer of a specific linguistic property, sensitivity to retroflexion as contrastive phonemic feature. We designed a task for bilinguals with homogeneous language exposure (i.e., bilingual in the same languages) and heterogeneous feature representation (i.e., differing levels of proficiency). Hindi and Mandarin Chinese both have retroflexion in phoneme contrasts (Hindi: stop consonants, Mandarin: sibilants). In a preregistered study, we conducted a statistical learning task for the Hindi dental-retroflex stop contrast with a group of early parallel English-Mandarin bilinguals, who varied in their Mandarin understanding levels. We based the target sample size on power analysis of a pilot study with a Bayesian stop-rule after minimum threshold. Contrary to the pilot study (N = 15), the main study (N = 50) did not find evidence for a learning effect, nor language-experience variance within the group. This finding suggests that statistical effects for the feature in question may be more fragile than commonly assumed, and may be evident in only a small subsample of the general population (as in our pilot). These stimuli have previously shown learning effects in children, so an additional possibility is that neural commitment to adults’ languages prevents learning of the fine-grained stimulus contrast in question for this adult population.
Network neighborhood operates as a drug repositioning method for cancer treatment
Authors: Cüvitoğlu Ali , Isik Zerrin
Published: July 2023

Computational drug repositioning approaches are important, as they cost less compared to the traditional drug development processes. This study proposes a novel network-based drug repositioning approach, which computes similarities between disease-causing genes and drug-affected genes in a network topology to suggest candidate drugs with highest similarity scores. This new method aims to identify better treatment options by integrating systems biology approaches. It uses a protein-protein interaction network that is the main topology to compute a similarity score between candidate drugs and disease-causing genes. The disease-causing genes were mapped on this network structure. Transcriptome profiles of drug candidates were taken from the LINCS project and mapped individually on the network structure. The similarity of these two networks was calculated by different network neighborhood metrics, including Adamic-Adar, PageRank and neighborhood scoring. The proposed approach identifies the best candidates by choosing the drugs with significant similarity scores. The method was experimented on melanoma, colorectal, and prostate cancers. Several candidate drugs were predicted by applying AUC values of 0.6 or higher. Some of the predictions were approved by clinical phase trials or other in-vivo studies found in literature. The proposed drug repositioning approach would suggest better treatment options with integration of functional information between genes and transcriptome level effects of drug perturbations and diseases.
