Authors: Vaquer-Sunyer Raquel , Barrientos Natalia , Tomàs Fiona , Vivó Antoni , Alós Josep
Published: September 2024

L’escalfament global propicia la colonització de la mar Mediterrània per part d’espècies d’origen tropical i subtropical. Aquest fenomen es coneix com a tropicalització de la Mediterrània.1 La tropicalització du associat un canvi en la distribució de les espècies, en la biodiversitat i en el funcionament dels ecosistemes. Una d’aquestes espècies tropicals que s’ha establit aquests darrers anys en aigües de la Mediterrània és la macroalga invasora Halimeda incrassata.

Las especies que desarrollan un carácter invasor suelen ser un pequeño porcentaje del número total de especies exóticas que se establecen en los diferentes hábitats marinos. Entre las especies incluidas en el Catálogo español de especies exóticas invasoras (EEI, Real Decreto 630/2013 [BOE-A-2013-8565]), se encuentra un grupo de algas macrófitas marinas que se desarrolla en la zona infralitoral y cuyas poblaciones se han establecido en diferentes localizaciones de las Islas Baleares: Acrothamnion preissii, Asparagopsis taxiformis, Caulerpa cylindracea, Caulerpa taxifolia, Halimeda incrassata, Lophocladia lallemandii y Womersleyella setacea. Asimismo, desde principios del año 2000 se incluye también el crustáceo decápodo Percnon gibbesi, que abunda en el piso infralitoral superior. Más recientemente, el crustáceo decápodo Callinectes sapidus, con interés comercial y extendido en las zonas peninsulares, prolifera desde el año 2015 en el archipiélago balear.

Published: September 2024

Smart energy concepts are based on the utilization of emerging integrated microprocessors and communication technologies for monitoring energy consumption. In the utilization of electricity, energy management is a core problem, especially for cost savings to the benefit of electricity customers. In modern electricity generation, transmission and consumption, energy management has occupied the center of attention for sustainable techno-economic motives. The present-day power sector has an immense role to play in the overall economic performance of the global community, thus, requiring the application of efficient and reliable metering systems for the measurement of energy consumption. The application of a smart metering system depends on the effectiveness of the embedded smart communication interface in the utility service provider system and the energy consumers’ metering devices based on energy supply reliability and consumption security. Therefore, this study focuses on the design and development of an efficient smart energy meter using the advancements provided by the Internet of Things (IoTs). The system was tested based on the collection of real-time data and subsequently analyzed for performance evaluation through a case study of household data collection.

Published: September 2024

Актуальність дослідження обумовлена необхідністю захисту стретегічно важливих об’єктів від терористичних дій з повітря. Зокрема, досвід провідних країн світу свідчить, що найбільш ефективним захистом стретегічно важливих об’єктів від терористичних дій з повітря є поєднання принципів дії засобів спеціального призначення, для чого доцільно розглянути деякі питання сумісності цих засобів при здійсненні захисту стретегічно важливих об’єктів від терористичних дій або нападу з повітря. Разом з тим, вивчення цих питань дозволить здійснити оцінку результатів сумісних дій, а також розробити науково обґрунтовані рекомендації щодо їх ефективного застосування. У зв’язку з цим, дана стаття спрямована на виявлення чинників, які у сучасних умовах російсько-української війни найбільше впливають на ефективність інженерного захисту стретегічно важливих об’єктів. Разом з тим, з урахуванням цих чинників здійснено оцінювання ефективності захисту стретегічно важливих об’єктів від безпілотних літальних апаратів силами протиповітряної оборони, використання якого дозволить отримувати більш коректні результати. А на їх основі розробляти практичні рекомендації щодо підвищення захисту стретегічно важливих об’єктів від безпілотних літальних апаратів, зокрема й під час ведення бойових дій. У статті представлено структурно-логічну схему методичного підходу до вибору місця розташування засобів протиповітряної оборони під час захисту стретегічно важливого об’єкту від безпілотних літальних апаратів, наведено опис етапів оцінювання, основні вихідні дані, часткові та узагальнений показники ефективності, критерії та умови оцінювання. Обґрунтовано необхідність об’єднання в єдине ціле системи протиповітряної оборони, визначені критерії оцінювання ефективності організації сумісних дій протиповітряної оборони. У даній роботі розглядаються питання сумісного застосування засобів протиповітряної оборони і радіоелектронного впливу під час захисту стретегічно важливого об’єкту, методики визначення місць розміщення засобів фізичного впливу, що дозволяє оцінити очікувані результати сумісних дій, а також розробити науково обґрунтовані рекомендацій по їх ефективному сумісному застосуванню у складі спеціальних груп та розробити пропозиції щодо їх спеціальних дій в різних умовах обстановки під час захисту та збереження стретегічно важливих об’єктів. Матеріали статті становлять практичну цінність для органів управління, які під час планування застосування засобів фізичного впливу виконують розрахунки з визначення потрібного обсягу інженерних заходів для підвищення їх живучості під час здійснення захисту стретегічно важливого об’єкту від безпілотних літальних апаратів.

CHEMOMETRIC EVIDENCE FOR SR AND RB ISOTOPES DUE TO THE SPECIFIC SOIL CHEMISTRY IN DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS
Authors: BALABANOVA Biljana , FAN Liping
Published: September 2024

Strontium and rubidium are the commonly used metals for isotope-ratio analysis. Moreover, this geochemical marker varies between different rock types and formations. The 87Sr/86Sr ratio has been shown to vary widely in surface rocks, so any Sr released into soils, rivers, and groundwater has an isotopic signature that reflects its source. Sr and Rb isotopes have also been used to trace agricultural products, which have incorporated Sr, along with Ca, from soils incorporating the Sr-isotope ratios of the underlying rocks. The specific conditions in the soil represent characteristic conditions of the environment which is reflected in a certain way in the plants. Despite uncertainty about the organic compounds in a sample, the content of selected elements (trace and rare earth elements, REEs) reflects the growing conditions in the environment. For that instance, in the present research, we will give focus on the inorganic compounds’ identifications, due to the more stable response to the lithogenic nature of the soil-plant interaction. For the present study, the target isotopes were 88Sr, 87Sr, 86Sr, and 85Rb. The isotope analysis was conducted with the application of ICP-MS, following the protocol provided in the EPA METHOD 6020. In the validation process, no significant interference occurred that could affect the sensitivity of the measurement of the selected isotopes. Data analysis has been applied to the comparative issues between Sr and Rb content in soil from North Macedonia and selected regions in China. Moreover, the same chemometric model was applied for data analysis for selected plant species for both regions. Data analyses has improved the significant differences within the element contents and ratios as well between both geographical regions.
METHODS OF TREATMENT OF RETAINED PLACENTA IN FRIESIAN COWS
Authors: SEFERI Nesim , MAMUTI Dashmir , ELEZI Besnik
Published: September 2024

Retained placenta in dairy cows is when the fetal membrane or placenta does not exit the uterus within 9-12 hours after calving. Retained placenta is a pathological disorder when the placenta does not fall out within a certain period of time after calving. The placenta in cows is most often expelled 6 (77.3%) to 8 hours after calving (Van Werven et al., 1992). The incidence of placental abruption in cows averages 8.6%. The cause of placental exit is not fully understood. There are several factors on which the separation of the fetal placenta from the uterus depends, they can be: genetic (inherited), nutritional, immunological, and as a result of some diseases of the reproductive tract. The causes of placental retention can be: fatigue of the uterus, inflammatory conditions of the bed, an insufficient amount of some hormones, lack of vitamins and/or minerals, toxic effects of some substances and poisons, and mechanical obstacles. The conclusion is that cows with retained placenta belong to the risk group because they are prone to inflammation of the uterus, so they have a prolonged service period and delayed or absent recovery of the cyclic activity of the ovaries, which can be the cause of sterility, temporary or permanent. Treatment of retained placenta should be carried out in time, removing the fetal placenta manually and inserting foaming tablets for intrauterine use. After that, PgF2α and oxytocin are applied.
THE ROLE OF THE ENTREPRENEUR IN MODERN AGRIBUSINESS AND CHOOSING THE MOST FAVORABLE ENTREPRENEURIAL STRATEGY
Authors: PASHOVSKA Silvana , SRBINOSKA Marija , BAHTIJARI Gjilnehar
Published: September 2024

Modern agribusiness, as a permanent process of reallocating financial, physical, and human resources from areas of societal reproduction where they are underutilized and inefficiently used to areas where they will yield much greater effects, always demands a positive optimistic attitude. The entrepreneur, in line with the analyses of self-development management philosophy, must impartially and objectively assess their strengths, weaknesses, available opportunities and threats in their operations. It is crucial to believe in one's abilities and the products or services offered. Agricultural entrepreneurship, as part of production, is characterized by low mobility of assets over time and space. Land as a production factor also has a limiting effect on agricultural entrepreneurial activity. The natural factor, along with the biological nature of the means and objects of work, is a precondition for the conditioned nature of agribusiness operations. The entrepreneur in agribusiness is a person who possesses creativity, and can lead and handle all challenges and risks in the work process. They are brave enough to take the risk of turning their idea into reality. Entrepreneurs are one of the most renowned untapped sources in the world of creativity and growth, making their role in modern agribusiness increasingly relevant in both developed and transition countries. By utilizing their entrepreneurial skills and qualities, the entrepreneurs should apply the best entrepreneurial strategies for the benefit of the company, not allowing uncertainty and potential failure to discourage future steps. On the contrary, they should see opportunities, not problems, in challenges and risks.

Modality Demand Trends Post Covid 19 in a Public University: A Deeper Dive Into Gender, Marital Status, and Other Drivers of Class Selection
Authors: Adams Lynn , El-Saidi Mohammed , Schlitters John , Walrath Tauna
Published: September 2024

In the first phase of the study, we investigated the effect that COVID-19 has had on student demand for six educational modalities used in the Woodbury School of Business (WSB) at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah. Those modalities are Face-to-Face, Hybrid, Independent Study, Internship, Live Interactive Video, and Online. The two hypotheses evaluated were whether the change to primarily online would revert to the pre-COVID-19 ratios of live and online and second that students were choosing online over live for rational reasons despite their preference for live courses. The first hypothesis was rejected, as students generally continued to choose online at a significantly higher rate, and no pronounced move back to face-to-face classes occurred. The second hypothesis was indicated but not proven due to a lack of relevant data at the time of the study's first phase. So, enrollment for Online and Flextime dramatically increased after COVID-19, while Face-to-Face and evening classes experienced huge drops. The study's second phase extends this research and shows that gender does not affect course choice. Further, students select online for pragmatic and logical reasons, including how age, employment, marital status, and perceived free time play into those class choices. Indeed, in practice, students enroll more often in online course sections due to the practicalities of their complicated lives. This second hypothesis is indicated and statistically proven in the second phase.
TÜRK VE RUS HALK MASALLARININ KALIPLAŞMIŞ DİL BİRİMLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ
Authors: Aktaş Renata
Published: September 2024

Günümüzde unutulmaya yüz tutmuş bir folklor türü olan masallar, halkın dünya görüşünden, kültüründen, sosyokültürel geleneklerinden ve dinî değerlerinden izler taşımanın yanı sıra anlatım gücü ve inceliğiyle karakterize edilen dilsel bir zenginliğe sahiptir. Masalın doğasında var olan dilsel unsurlar, halkların ulusal kültürlerini inşa etmelerine kaynaklık etmiş, yıllar içinde biçim ve içerik açısından belirgin değişikliklere uğramamıştır. Masal dilinin anlatım gücünü ve zenginliğini artıran unsurlar arasında ikilemeler, deyimler, atasözleri, masalın başlangıç ve bitiş ifadeleri gibi kalıplaşmış dil birimleri yer almaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, masalların biçim ve içeriğindeki farklılıkları ve benzerlikleri tespit etmek için Türk ve Rus masallarındaki kalıplaşmış dilsel birimleri analiz etmektir. Bu amaçla, çalışmamızda bu dilsel unsurlar tespit edilmiş, betimlenmiş, tanımlanmış ve karşılaştırmalı analiz bağlamında benzerlik ve farklılıkları tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmamızın veri kaynakları, P. N. Boratav’ın ‘Zaman Zaman İçinde’ derlemesinden 22 Türk halk masalı ve A. Afanasyev’in ‘Rus Halk Masalları’ derlemesinden seçilen 25 Rus halk masalıdır. Karşılaştırmalı analiz sonucunda Türk masallarında başlangıç formları kurgusallığı ifade etmeye yönelikken, Rus halk masallarının başlangıç formları zamandan önce mekâna dikkat çekmektedir. Türk masallarında belirteç ikilemeler, Rus masallarında ise ad ve fiil ikilemelerin baskın olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Türk masallarında olduğu gibi Rus masallarında da deyimlerin varlığı oldukça yüksektir. Baş, el, dil, ağız, kulak, göz, bacak gibi organ ve vücut bölümlerinin her içerikte sıklıkla kullanıldığı gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca Türkçe deyimlerde zaman, sürekliliği anlatmak ve abartma anlamı vermek için kullanılmaktadır. Türk halk masallarında, Türklerin yaşam boyunca edindiği deneyimlerini yansıtan atasözleri, deyimlerin aksine daha az bulunur. Türk atasözlerde ulusal karakterin sadece halkın asırlık bilgeliği değil, kadere, kutsal kitaba olan inançla açıkça ifade edildiğini tespit edilmiştir. Benzer bir şekilde Rus atasözlerine göre, Rus halkı Tanrı’nın yasalarına dayanarak kaderde inanan, sabırlı ve sadık bir halk olarak görülmektedir. Türk ve Rus halk masallarının kalıplaşmış dil birimlerinin karşılaştırılması sonucunda, Türk ve Rus halk masallarındaki bu birimlerin her iki halkın renkli ve kendine özgü kültürünün yansıtılmasına katkıda bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Dentro/fora. Poética e política do kleinismo na visão de Julia Kristeva
Authors: Mallet da Rocha Barros Elias
Published: September 2024

O autor explora o significado desta afirmação de Julia Kristeva: “Não há ou há pouco de ‘mãe real’ para Klein, porque a única mãe que lhe interessa é a mãe pensável. Ela o é se – e somente se – um conhecimento da fantasia mortífera que me habita pode desenhar no objeto real uma porção do objeto pensável para mim: um objeto do qual eu possa fazer um jogo – enfim, um símbolo”. Com base nisso, discute a relação do mundo interno (dentro) com o mundo externo (fora), isto é, a relação do mundo no interior do sujeito com a cultura, num processo de introjeção e projeção que opera ao infinito.
O isso no eu. Parangolés na cena analítica
Authors: Amêndola Contart de Assis Maria Bernadete
Published: September 2024

A autora procura abordar a relação analista-analisando dirigindo o foco para a experiência vivida e compartilhada que precede a representação (imagem, nomeação, narração que possam surgir na mente do analista e/ou do analisando). Para tratar desse momento de imersão, em que os participantes da cena analítica entram em consonância, toma como inspiração a obra de arte Parangolés, de Hélio Oiticica, em que o espectador envolve seu corpo com a vestimenta produzida pelo artista, tornando-se assim a obra de arte. Alegoria apropriada para falar do conceito bioniano de at-one-ment, que produz um campo propício para o contato direto com a realidade psíquica. Junto ao aporte artístico e teórico, a autora recorre também aos deuses do Olimpo, Dionísio e Apolo, para falar sobre a aliança entre viver e narrar. Apresenta ainda uma situação clínica com o intuito de ilustrar suas ideias.
A capacidade de estar só como prova de maturidade para o envelhecer
Authors: Junkers Gabriele
Published: September 2024

Todas as pessoas conhecem o sentimento de solidão, descrito nas suas mais variadas formas por poetas e filósofos. A maneira de vivenciar a solidão, lidar com ela e processá-la é individual e difere totalmente de pessoa para pessoa. Envelhecer significa dominar inúmeras tarefas de desenvolvimento. Como é possível não responder às perdas iminentes e às despedidas da velhice com medidas defensivas patológicas, mas, ao contrário, viver o encerramento da vida profissional como uma nova fase de introversão, olhar retrospectivo e plenitude interior? A autora considera a capacidade de estar só um pré-requisito favorável para enfrentar com sucesso os desafios do envelhecimento e refere-se a autores psicanalíticos que se dedicaram ao tema da solidão, quando já estavam numa fase tardia da vida. Quanto mais consolidada for a capacidade de adaptação às diferentes realidades, sobretudo àquelas desagradáveis e desprazerosas, maior será a possibilidade de aceitar os próprios erros. Nesse caso, também poderia haver uma diminuição do ressentimento em relação àquelas realidades da vida que foram criadas pela própria pessoa no passado.
Reflexões paradoxais sobre o envelhecer em alguns textos de Freud
Authors: de Souza Brito Pedro Vinicius , F. R. Ribeiro Marina
Published: September 2024

A longevidade populacional contemporânea pôs em questão as teorias que não contemplavam essa etapa da vida. Esse é o caso da psicanálise. Desde seus textos iniciais, Freud se opôs ao tratamento psicanalítico de pessoas muito idosas. Entretanto, ele próprio não deixou de exercer a psicanálise, e alguns dos seus mais importantes estudos se deram nessa fase da vida. Diante dessa contradição, os autores investigam o que pode ter influenciado esse posicionamento e observam uma série de questões sociais, fisiológicas e econômicas que marcaram a velhice de Freud. Utilizam seus textos para analisar sua percepção em relação à terceira idade e compreender como ele enfrentou as diversas questões que marcaram sua vivência nesse período. Discutem a ideia de que, ainda que Freud não indicasse a psicanálise para os idosos, as mudanças sociais do contemporâneo permitem defender e recomendar a psicanálise durante a velhice.
Observação e intuição em psicanálise. Uma perspectiva dual
Authors: C. Mion Carmen
Published: September 2024

Em um dos seus últimos seminários, Bion afirma que não estava interessado nas teorias psicanalíticas ou mesmo em outras quaisquer, mas no “mais importante, que chamo de ‘a coisa real’, a prática da análise, a prática do tratamento, a prática da comunicação”. Neste artigo, a autora desenvolve os conceitos de observação e intuição como pertencentes ao tema maior da comunicação psicanalítica, restringindo-se à especificidade da “escuta” do analista às comunicações do analisando na sala de análise e seus instrumentos para isso: os órgãos dos sentidos e de percepção, incluindo aqui o conceito freudiano do consciente como órgão de percepção. Propõe que essas duas funções do psicanalista, observação e intuição, atuam em sincronia, de forma semelhante ao modelo biológico de “visão binocular” utilizado por Bion como uma aproximação ao seu conceito de barreira de contato e interação entre consciente e inconsciente. A autora inicia o artigo com uma separação artificial entre ambas as funções, para reuni-las ao final.
Subjetividade primária do analista. Vertentes intra e intersubjetivas
Authors: Zimerman Bizzi Idete
Published: September 2024

O termo subjetividade primária do analista, proposto e desenvolvido no trabalho, destaca e conceitualiza analiticamente um tipo específico de subjetividade do analista, presente no campo analítico, cuja natureza é absolutamente idiossincrática e original. Tal fator origina-se de e retroalimenta incessantemente a matriz psíquica primária do analista, ao mesmo tempo que cocria o terceiro analítico intersubjetivo. Suas qualidades essenciais são a unicidade, caráter de ser diversa da subjetividade do paciente, e a alteridade, caráter de ser externa e de existir, em alguma medida, independentemente da subjetividade do paciente. Sob a ótica intrassubjetiva, o conceito de subjetividade primária do analista é elaborado, no trabalho, por meio da noção de atributos fundantes e determinantes da subjetividade do analista; sob a ótica intersubjetiva, desemboca nas propostas nosológicas de contratransferência criativa, estrangeira e viciosa. A cunhagem e a prospecção dessa terminologia inauguram uma linha de pesquisa conceitual sobre a subjetividade do analista e pretendem pavimentar o caminho para estudos suplementares.
Gaming [the] Systems: Critical Analysis through Tabletop Roleplaying Games in Humanities Classrooms
Authors:   University of Iowa, Cosner Justin
Published: September 2024

In its very designation, “role play” contains a productive tension: the expectations bound up in roles and the liberating potentiality of play. It comes as no surprise, then, that role play has found expression in the worlds of business, therapy, education, and even the military. Table-top games exist as our culture’s most familiar form of role play but among its least theorized. In this paper, I examine the rich potential of table-top role-playing games in humanities classrooms as a means to fuel cultural critique, critical analysis, class discussion, and self-reflection. My paper lays out a theoretical structure for analyzing games as multi-dimensional texts and a practical guide for bringing them into the classroom. In particular, I look at two free-to-access and permissively concise game systems which can easily fit into an open week of coursework. The games, “Lasers and Feelings” and “The Deep Forest,” depart from the cultural expectations of “Dungeons & Dragons” to rethink, adapt, and challenge our understanding of issues ranging from the formulation of the rational, Western subject to the politics of post-colonialism. I supplement conventional process-oriented pedagogy with Ian Bogost’s “Persuasive Games” and C. Thai Nguyen’s “Games: Agency as Art,” to establish a robust groundwork for students to analyze and critique how game design decisions make arguments about the world. Furthermore, in playing the games in the classroom and debriefing afterwards, students identify their internal systems that reflect and inform their own assumptions about the world.
After The Queen’s Gambit (2020): The Rise of chess.com and the Chess #MeToo Movement
Authors:   University of Denver & School of Illiff, Konerth Matthew
Published: September 2024

In 2020, the chess industry saw an unprecedented and exponential spike in player interest due to two key factors: the runaway success of The Queen’s Gambit (2020) limited series on Netflix and worldwide pandemic lockdowns. Lockdowns saw the rise of online chess popularized by chess.com, which after several key acquisitions, sponsor deals, and investments, now holds a near monopoly on the chess industry, surpassing 100 million users in December 2022 and becoming the most popular free gaming app on the Apple Store in twenty eight countries on February 2, 2023. Despite this newfound surge of interest in chess worldwide, women remain at best tokenized and more often, systematically excluded by the chess industry. This essay will act as a wide survey of the proliferation of deeply rooted sexism in multiple aspects of modern chess culture, beginning with gender imbalances inherent in the rules of chess, as well as the canonized ‘openings’, before moving to issues of male gaze in The Queen’s Gambit and online chess streaming celebrities. The tokenizing politics of Chess.com and FIDE (Fédération Internationale des Échecs) will also be analyzed as attempts to cater to a perceived male demographic for capitalistic gain. Additional focus will be allotted to the smaller cash prizes and diminished advertising for women’s chess competitions. In light of this discrimination, the industry’s repetitive claim that chess is a true meritocracy will be refuted.
La constitution d’un réseau antimesures sanitaires québécois sur Twitter et la mise en scène d’un populisme par le bas
Authors: Campana Aurélie , Tanner Samuel
Published: September 2024

Cet article interroge les premières étapes de la constitution d’un réseau antimesures sanitaires québécois sur Twitter entre le 12 mars, date de l’annonce par le premier ministre du Québec des premières restrictions sanitaires, et le 31 mars 2020. Basé sur une approche sociotechnique, il se penche sur l’assemblage des discours antisanitaires et le rôle des différents acteurs, humains et technologiques, qui contribuent à en dessiner les contours et en fabriquer le contenu. Par l’analyse des quatre étapes qui ponctuent l’élaboration d’un réseau – la problématisation, l’intéressement, l’enrôlement et la mobilisation des alliés –, il montre comment se dessine au fil des échanges un populisme par le bas, alimenté par des théories du complot, qui contribuent à cristalliser une opposition entre les élites et le peuple. La stabilisation de l’identité de ce réseau ne se fonde ainsi par sur un substrat de faits partagés ou sur une grille de lecture commune de la crise sanitaire, mais sur une posture de dénonciation des élites politiques, économiques et scientifiques. Elle permet ainsi la convergence des « anti- », y compris les antivaccins, les antienvironnementalistes et les antipluralistes, mais surtout les antiélites et les antisystèmes, et participe très tôt dans la crise provoquée par la COVID‑19 à l’élargissement du réseau.
Complotisme et extrémismes. Le cas de l’extrême droite
Authors: Lefebvre Solange , Colin Mathieu
Published: September 2024

Cet article explore l’impact des médias sociaux au regard de l’extrémisme et du conspirationnisme. La période récente a notamment montré que l’extrême droite représentait une menace de plus en plus concrète dans la sphère publique, en témoigne l’influence de mouvements comme QAnon ou l’assaut du Capitole du 6 janvier 2021. En utilisant les résultats d’un projet de recherche sur les médias et l’extrémisme réalisé au Québec entre 2017 et 2021, cet article montre que l’extrême droite fait une utilisation particulière des médias sociaux, et que ceux-ci agissent certes comme des chambres d’écho, mais également comme des vecteurs d’une idéologie conspirationniste complexe et protéiforme. Des entretiens qualitatifs avec des individus radicalisés permettent notamment d’illustrer l’intégration idéologique des médiaux sociaux dans la stratégie culturelle et politique de l’extrême droite actuelle.

Gjennom fotodokumentasjon, skriftlig tekst og animasjonsfilm synliggjøres kroppsliggjort kunnskap om multiplananimasjon som teknikk og kunstnerisk uttrykksform, og dens potensiale i en læringssammenheng med barn i barnehage og grunnskole. I en videre sammenheng undersøkes animasjonens mulighet til å utvikle ny og utvidet kunnskap om koblinger mellom materialer og teknologi, og utgjør et bidrag til en ny material-digital praksis som ivaretar et helhetlig læringssyn. Forskningsspørsmålet som stilles er; Hvilke kroppsliggjorte kunnskaper om multiplananimasjon kan utvikles gjennom kunstnerisk utforsking? Spørsmålet drøftes gjennom følgende tre kategorier: (1) Abstrakt multiplananimasjon som en poetisk bevegelse; (2) Multiplananimasjon som en romlig collage (3); Multiplananimasjon som langsom kunnskap og langsomt håndverk.
YOLOv8-Coal: a coal-rock image recognition method based on improved YOLOv8
Authors: Wang Wenyu , Zhao Yanqin , Xue Zhi
Published: September 2024

To address issues such as misdetection and omission due to low light, image defocus, and worker occlusion in coal-rock image recognition, a new method called YOLOv8-Coal, based on YOLOv8, is introduced to enhance recognition accuracy and processing speed. The Deformable Convolution Network version 3 enhances object feature extraction by adjusting sampling positions with offsets and aligning them closely with the object’s shape. The Polarized Self-Attention module in the feature fusion network emphasizes crucial features and suppresses unnecessary information to minimize irrelevant factors. Additionally, the lightweight C2fGhost module combines the strengths of GhostNet and the C2f module, further decreasing model parameters and computational load. The empirical findings indicate that YOLOv8-Coal has achieved substantial enhancements in all metrics on the coal rock image dataset. More precisely, the values for AP50, AP50:95, and AR50:95 were improved to 77.7%, 62.8%, and 75.0% respectively. In addition, optimal localization recall precision (oLRP) were decreased to 45.6%. In addition, the model parameters were decreased to 2.59M and the FLOPs were reduced to 6.9G. Finally, the size of the model weight file is a mere 5.2 MB. The enhanced algorithm’s advantage is further demonstrated when compared to other commonly used algorithms.
Evaluation of Handoff Drop Call Rate in GSM Network in Delta State with Dynamic Cut off Channel Allocation Scheme
Authors: Itive Spencer , Okhaifoh J.E
Published: September 2024

This study aims at evaluating Handoff drop call rate in GSM Network using dynamic Cut off Channel Allocation Scheme by evaluating different Mobile Network Operators, MNOs, and comparing with Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC)’s Key Performance Indicator (KPI). A hybrid handoff algorithm was developed to reduce drop calls, analyze the performance of the hybridized handoff algorithm; and compare the simulated results of the hybridized algorithm with that of the existing Mobile network operators, MNOs. The current handoff failure and drop call rates of the best mobile communication network in Nigeria was evaluated and was discovered that the existing Hand off failure rate HFR per cell was 5% and the drop call rate DCR was 10%. These were above the NCC maximum target of 2%. These defects account for the unacceptable drop call rates experienced and thus negatively impact on the quality of service QoS. An optimal solution was provided by developing an enhanced and highly sensitive handoff algorithm from two different algorithms - the Entire Channel Allocation, and the Fixed Channel Allocation - while putting the Modified Reserved Channel Scheme with Guard Channel, and the Fuzzy handoff initiation method into consideration. A software known as Netbeans 7.2 was interfaced with Octave 5.1.0 and used to simulate the developed algorithm. The programme trial was made to run repeatedly for 1200s. Our simulation results indicated HFR of 3% as against 5% from that of the existing network, and DCR of 6% as against the 10% from the network. In further comparing the existing DCR with that obtained from our simulation, an average of 40% dropped calls reduction was realized. This implied that the algorithm reduced drop calls thereby enhancing connectivity and mobility management through the minimization of handoff failures.
Can an electron gun solve the outstanding problem of magnetosphere‐ionosphere connectivity?
Authors: Delzanno Gian Luca , Borovsky Joseph E. , Thomsen Michelle F. , Gilchrist Brian E. , Sanchez Ennio
Published: June 2016

Determining the magnetic connectivity between magnetospheric phenomena and ionospheric phenomena is an outstanding problem of magnetospheric and ionospheric physics. Accurately establishing this connectivity could answer a variety of long‐standing questions. The most viable option to solve this is by means of a high‐power electron beam fired from a magnetospheric spacecraft and spotted at its magnetic footpoint in the ionosphere. This has technical difficulties. Progress has been made on mitigating the major issue of spacecraft charging. The remaining physics issues are identified, together with the need for a synergistic effort in modeling, laboratory experiments, and, ultimately, testing in space. The goal of this commentary is to stimulate awareness and interest on the magnetosphere‐ionosphere connectivity problem and possibly accelerate progress toward its solution.
An abrupt shift in the Labrador Current System in relation to winter NAO events

Published: June 2016

The behavior of the Labrador Current during the period from 1990 to 2007 is investigated with an eddy‐resolving circulation model for the North Atlantic Ocean. An EOF analysis of the model output suggests that the variability in the Labrador Current can be partitioned into a western Labrador Current (WLC; from the 300–2500 m isobaths), and an eastern Labrador Current (ELC; from the 2500 to 3300 m isobaths). The model results demonstrate that the WLC transport experienced an abrupt increase during 2000–2002, consistent with data. This differed significantly from the ELC transport which was strong during the high winter NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) years (1990–1995) and then steadily declined. This ELC trend is consistent with changes in the modeled Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and convection depth. Our study proposes that the change in the WLC is due to a southwestward shift of the atmospheric circulation pattern starting in 2001, coincident with a change in the 2001 NAO index, and also in a westward shift of the action centers of the winter NAO events.
Anomalous propagation conditions over eastern Pacific Ocean derived from MAGIC data
Authors: Alappattu Denny P. , Wang Qing , Kalogiros John
Published: June 2016

This study characterizes the evaporation and elevated ducts, the most common types of ducts observed over the ocean, along a track of around 4000 km between the California coast and Hawaii. We analyzed 1 year (2012–2013) of ship‐based measurements made during the Marine Atmospheric Radiation Measurement GPCI (GEWEX cloud system study Pacific Cross‐Section Intercomparison) Investigation of Clouds (MAGIC) campaign. During this period, the ship made multiple transects between Southern California and Hawaii. While the ship‐based in situ measurements and the radiosonde data served as the primary data source, a marine atmospheric surface layer model adapted from the Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere Response Experiment 3.0 surface flux scheme is used to diagnose evaporative duct properties. Calculated mean evaporation duct heights based on shipboard measurements were found to increase steadily from 7 m offshore California to about 15 m near Hawaii. Overall 78% of duct heights are below 20 m. On average the evaporation duct strength is between ≈ 25 and 35 M units near Hawaii and about 15 M units near the California coast. A gradual transition from stratocumulus (Sc) dominated offshore California to trade wind regime with cumulus (Cu) clouds takes place along MAGIC track. The measured marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) height and the capping inversion characteristics are significantly different in the two regimes with MABL decoupling occurring in the longitude range between 125°W and 140°W along the track. The characteristics of the elevated ducts, obtained from the rawinsonde sounding profiles, are also different in the two regions west and east of the MABL decoupling region. Approximately 70–80% of the elevated ducts occur below 1.5 km east of the decoupling region, whereas almost equal percentage of ducts forms at heights above 1.5 km on the west side.
Numerical research on clear imaging of azimuth‐traveling ocean waves in SAR images
Authors: Yoshida Takero
Published: June 2016

This paper presents the imaging mechanisms of ocean waves traveling in the azimuth direction by applying a numerical simulation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image for moving ocean surfaces. The numerical simulation was originally designed in the time domain to take into account motion‐induced modulations. It is known that azimuthal waves are affected by azimuth shifts due to orbital motions of ocean waves, i.e., velocity bunching. The effect of bunching generally results in nonlinear imaging; however, a clear wavelike pattern of a homogeneous wave field propagating to the azimuth direction occurs in SAR imagery under a certain condition. More specifically, if azimuth shifts due to the orbital motions are concentrated on wave crests or troughs, bunching causes a single peak in SAR image planes. Theoretically, it is derived noticeably when the maximum orbital motion of an azimuth‐traveling ocean wave is nearly equal to one quarter of its wavelength. To demonstrate this, SAR signals were simulated numerically for ocean waves with and without employing the condition of the clear imaging. The results showed that a wavelike pattern relating to the azimuthal waves can be imaged apparently under the specific condition. In addition, the simulations were performed in the case of the other wave and wind conditions. From the results, it was revealed that the specific condition leads to clear wavelike imaging of azimuthal waves in SAR images if noise is relatively small.
State‐of‐the‐art research on electromagnetic information security
Authors: Hayashi Yu‐ichi
Published: June 2016

As information security is becoming increasingly significant, security at the hardware level is as important as in networks and applications. In recent years, instrumentation has become cheaper and more precise, computation has become faster, and capacities have increased. With these advancements, the threat of advanced attacks that were considerably difficult to carry out previously has increased not only in military and diplomatic fields but also in general‐purpose manufactured devices. This paper focuses on the problem of the security limitations concerning electromagnetic waves (electromagnetic information security) that has rendered attack detection particularly difficult at the hardware level. In addition to reviewing the mechanisms of these information leaks and countermeasures, this paper also presents the latest research trends and standards.
