The Impact of Cultural Code on Communication Promotion of Japanese Animation in the USA
Authors: Krutiakova Anastasiia
Published: July 2023

For the last eight years, the anime market in the USA has shown record growth rates, which is related to the epistemological relevance of the study. This leads to the fact that the studios are expanding their capabilities and looking for new ways to promote new products, which determines the pragmatic relevance of this study. The purpose of the research is to identify the influence of cultural characteristics on promotional campaigns of Japanese animation in the United States and determine the reasons for their effectiveness. The research was undertaken on the examples of the American promotional campaigns of Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer. The promotional materials that have been analyzed related to the content from streaming services (Crunchyroll, FUNimation), linear networks (Adult Swim), and anime events both global such as Anime Expo, FunimationCon and organized by the studios. Furthermore, the research was conducted using materials from internet publishers such as CBR, Anime News Network, and supported by data provided by Parrot Analytics. Methods that have been used during the research include synthesis and analysis, ideal-typical reconstruction of social reality, case study, non-formalized content analysis method, and indirect analysis of expert statements. Based on research results, it was inferred that, regardless of the consolidation of the international animation society, it is still crucial to take audience’s cultural background into the consideration and thoroughly calculate the promotion strategy when launching new products. This would help minimize the risks and avoid serious losses both in terms of profit and reputation.
SDKT:Similar domain knowledge transfer for multivariate time series classification tasks
Authors: Wen Jiaye , Zhou Wenan
Published: July 2023

Multivariate time series data classification has a wide range of
applications in reality. With rapid development of deep learning,
convolutional networks are widely used in this task and have achieved
the current best performance. However, due to high difficulty and cost
of collecting this type of data, labeled data is still scarce. In some
tasks, the model shows overfitting, resulting in relatively poor
classification performance. In order to improve the classification
effect under such situation, this paper proposes a novel classification
method based on transfer learning - similar domain knowledge transfer
(call SDKT for short). Firstly, we designed a multivariate time series
domain distance calulation method (call MTSDDC for short), which helped
selecting the source domain that are most similar to target domain;
Secondly, we used ResNet as a pre-trained classifier, transfered the
parameters of the similar domain network to the target domain network
and continued to fine-tune the parameters. To verify our method, we
conducted experiments on several public datasets. Our study has also
shown that the transfer effect from the source domain to the target
domain is highly negatively correlated with the distance between them,
with an average pearson coefficient of -0.78. For the transfer of most
similar source domain, compared to the ResNet model without transfer and
the current best model, the average accuracy improvement on the datasets
we used is 4.01% and 1.46% respectively.
Model Reduction and Neural Network Adaptive Control of Nonlinear Hydraulic System Based on Extended State Observer
Authors: Xiang Zhenwen , Hong Cheng
Published: July 2023

Hydraulic servo control systems pose significant challenges for
controller design due to their nonlinear, time-varying of parameters,
inertial force, and susceptibility to external disturbances. Traditional
PID control methods struggle to set optimal control parameters,
necessitating new approaches. In this study, we construct an Expanded
State Observer(ESO) to estimate the external disturbance and uncertainty
of modeling, a BP neural network to adaptively adjust PID control
parameters and an RBF neural network to identify input and output
Jacobian information. Our simulations demonstrate superior disturbance
rejection and accurate dynamic tracking capabilities, as well as robust
stability under inaccurate hydraulic system parameters and models. By
regarding the controlled object as an open-loop basic type, we offer a
new, effective approach for adaptive control of these challenging
systems.

Modulation of Tau Phosphorylation by Oxidative Stress: Insights into the Interplay among LKB1, AMPK, and Akt Pathways in Differentiated SH-SY5Y Cells
Authors: Majd Shohreh , Power John , Majd Zohreh
Published: July 2023

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder
characterized by the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) in
neurofibrillary tangles and beta-amyloid plaques. The role of oxidative
stress (OS) in AD progression remains unclear. Methods: Using SH-SY5Y
human neuroblastoma cells as an in vitro model, we investigated the
impact of OS on tau phosphorylation. Mature neurons were exposed to
varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide for different durations (1-5
days) to simulate OS. Western blot analysis was employed to quantify key
signalling pathways (LKB1, AMPK, and Akt) and antioxidant enzymes (SOD2,
p1, p4, and catalase). Results: Prolonged OS exposure resulted in tau
hyperphosphorylation at Ser262, a tau residue sensitive to AMPK, despite
initial dephosphorylation. Treatment with compound C (CC), an AMPK
inhibitor, prevented this effect. OS activated LKB1 and AMPK, enhanced
by CC and rapamycin, while CC and rapamycin suppressed OS-induced Akt
activity. SOD2, the primary defence against OS, increased, whereas p1
and catalase, the secondary defence, decreased. P4 activity remained
unchanged. Notably, CC consistently reduced antioxidant enzyme activity
across experimental groups. Conclusion: OS activates the LKB1, AMPK, and
Akt signalling pathways. The interplay between LKB1’s stimulatory effect
and Akt’s inhibitory effect on AMPK leads to AMPK activation and
subsequent tau hyperphosphorylation. AMPK facilitates the protective
response mediated by SOD2 against OS, but prolonged OS exposure induces
tau hyperphosphorylation. Therefore, OS likely serves as a trigger for
AD pathology.
Spacing of close-packed layers as a guidance for symmetry manipulation of IV-VI / Ⅰ-Ⅴ-Ⅵ2 thermoelectrics
Authors: Jin Tao , Yang Long , Zhang Xinyue , Li Wen , Pei Yanzhong
Published: July 2023

The factor that the crystal-structure symmetry in real space can be well
inherited in the reciprocal space, leads high-symmetry materials to be
top candidates for thermoelectrics due to the possibly resultant high
electronic band degeneracy. A general indicator, that can quantitatively
describe how crystal structure changes, would help facilitate the
advanced thermoelectric material design. For cubic close-packed
structures, the spatial environment of the same crystallographic plane
family is isotropic, such that the distances between the close-packed
layers can be derived from atomic distances within layers. Inspired by
this, the relationship between the inter- and intra-layer geometric
information can be used for comparing crystal structures with their
desired cubic symmetry. The spacing of close-packed layers was found to
be an essential indicator for the crystal structure symmetry in Ⅳ-Ⅵ
chalcogenides and group I-Ⅴ-VI ternary semiconductors,
both of which are historically important thermoelectrics. The continuous
structure evolution towards high symmetry can be described by the layer
spacing when temperature or/and composition change, which is
demonstrated by a series of pristine and alloyed thermoelectric
materials in this work. The layer spacing based guidance provides a
quantitative pathway for manipulating crystal structures to fine tune
the electronic band convergence in high-performance thermoelectric
materials.
Bidirectional Long short-term memory and Recurrent Neural Network model for speech recognition
Authors: Kimani Mercy , Nderu Lawrence , Ndirangu Dalton , Tobias Mwalili
Published: July 2023

Speech-to-text is essential as it converts spoken words to text, thus
making it easy to store. It has several components; from a basic model,
it is viewed in four stages; Signal pre-processing, feature extraction,
feature selection, and modeling. Several works of literature have been
documented on improving and achieving better results in speech
recognition. However, works remains in resolving the issue of word error
rate and accuracy on continuous input stream without increasing the
required bandwidth. This research evaluates recurrent neural networks,
long short-term memory neural networks, gated recurrent units, and
bi-directional long short-term memory. It further tests the signal’s
performance after introducing bias to the long short-term memory. This
research then proposes a model bi-directional long short-term memory
recurrent neural network. Experimental results demonstrate that even
with a bias of one on long short-term memory, the bidirectional long
short-term memory recurrent neural network model still achieves better
results with a word error rate of 8.92%, accuracy of 91.08% and mean
edit distance of 0.1910 using the Libri speech training dataset. Future
work will evaluate the use of the transformer models in the reduction of
the word error rate and accuracy on a continuous input stream.
A proposed Approach for Managing Technical Debt in Software Projects
Authors: Hamed Abeer , Elbakry Hazem , Riad Alaa Eldin , Mowad Ramdan
Published: July 2023

Technical debt (TD) is a metaphor for technical problems that are hidden
from customers and end users but hinder development efforts during
system evolution and future improvements. TD is frequently incurred due
to tight budgets and timelines, which lead to financial, quality, and
technical issues that make future maintenance more costly or impossible.
Project management concentrates on external issues related to customer
satisfaction and does not concentrate on system internal software
quality defects and maintenance that be subject to future interest
payments. In this paper, we highlight and investigate, in detail, an
overview of the Technical Debt items for the software development team
in SMEs. In addition, we present a TD management (TDM) approach with
best practices for each step, provided with studied cases for applying
the TDM approach at software industrial companies. The study shows that
the proposed approach to measuring the impact of internal / external
software quality leads to increased awareness of TD’s occurrence and
provides processes to identify, prevent, monitor, prioritize, and repay
TD to satisfy both software technical requirements and customer value
and halt project failures and overruns. The analysis of applying our TDM
approach leads to a better comprehension of TD contraction in selected
software companies, improvements in team morale and motivation, and an
increase in its maintainability.

Socio-economic development of agriculture based on technological change
Authors:   Agricultural University-Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Atanasov Dimo
Published: July 2023

Societies worldwide have faced different economic, environmental and social challenges in recent decades, including increasing population and consumption, shortages of natural resources, pollution and climate change. Agriculture is one of the most affected sectors. Considering its vital role as a provider of life-sustaining products and services, as well as business opportunities and employment for millions of people, we are responsible for finding solutions for its long-term development. For thousands of years, agriculture has grown in line with human civilization’s growth. During its evolution, though, many negative externalities have become evident. Some resources disappeared; others were severely damaged or exhausted, threatening the food security of many countries or the whole world. The signals nature has sent us for years have become more and more serious. It is about time to change our philosophy of life and our social and economic models. It is time to focus on knowledge, science and innovations, good practices and experience, and new technologies. The main objective of this paper is to summarize and present some of the most influential concepts of economic growth, analyze its dependence on innovations, and present the potential of new technologies to contribute to the social and economic development of agriculture. Some of the analysis is focused on the theory of economic growth and the ways it can provide sustainable development. The factors influencing the continuing economic growth of agriculture are evaluated, and a methodology for assessing technological efficiency is also presented.
Nye perspektiv på Hans Nielsen Hauge
Authors: Farstad Eli Morken
Published: July 2023

The chapter provides an overview of the anthology, and of the historiography related to the research which is presented. It argues that the movement led by Hans Nielsen Hauge (1771–1824) must be understood as a changing phenomenon that was situated in an especially transformative period in Norwegian history. An over arching theme is the intertwined characteristics of tradition and modernity both within the religious movement and its context before and after 1814. The chapter looks at these historical processes through discussing the role of the priests, the Haugean theology’s roots, and the dialectic nature of the Danish-Norwegian autocracy. These religious components had implications for how a popular political culture was cultivated before and after Norway got its own constitution. Further, the interpretation of Hauge as a leader before and after 1814 is questioned. As the modern impulses grew stronger during the 19th century, the Haugeans’ program changed. Thus, a discussion of the Hauge movement’s contributions to economic and political modernization is crucial. Previous interpretations are presented in the chapter, where conflicting understandings of the movement as an agent of modernization are clarified and problematized.

Política y educación en Colombia: del regimen liberal al frente nacional en el siglo XX
Authors: Acebedo Afanador Manuel José
Published: July 2023

En el presente trabajo se realiza un análisis sucinto de las políticas de gobierno, las diferencias ideológicas de los partidos Liberal y Conservador y su incidencia en la manera en que se va estructurando el sistema educativo en tres momentos del siglo XX en Colombia: el régimen liberal, los gobiernos conservadores, la dictadura militar y, finalmente, el período del Frente Nacional. Se ejecutó en el marco de la investigación cualitativa mediante el enfoque documental, que parte de la búsqueda bibliográfica y la síntesis en fichas, para generar luego el análisis de las variables en cada momento histórico mediante textos argumentativos o expositivos. De lo anterior se dedujo, en primer lugar, que hay una imbricación profunda de estos dos partidos políticos con la manera en que se va gestando y transformando la educación en Colombia. En segundo lugar, se puso de relieve la intensa influencia de la religión católica en el marco ético y normativo de la educación. Y finalmente, se destaca la contradicción entre la modernización de la educación y el mantenimiento de principios y valores propios de los siglos XVIII y XIX, en torno a procesos generados desde los intereses del poder en cada momento de la historia política del siglo XX en Colombia.

Published: July 2023

Isolated blunt pancreatic injuries are rare. Diagnosis is often delayed due to minimal symptoms and signs. Elevated serum amylase or lipase levels on routine pre-operative laboratory investigations makes pancreatic injury highly likely. Contrast Enhanced CT scan is usually confirmatory.
We are reporting on two patients who presented with blunt abdominal trauma, haemodynamically stable, and with epigastric tenderness. Pre-admission biochemical investigations revealed elevated serum amylase.  CECT demonstrated Grade III and Grade IV injuries which were treated with spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy, respectively. Post-operatively, both developed amylase-rich fistulae which resolved on conservative management.
Role of Inflammasomes in Liver Disease and Autoimmune Hepatitis vs. Infectious Hepatitis: An Extensive Review
Authors: Gadour Eyad , Miutescu Dr. Bogdan
Published: July 2023

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by periportal inflammation, increased immunoglobulins and autoantibodies, and a significant response to immunosuppression. In genetically predisposed people, an environmental contaminant is thought to induce an immune-mediated attack against liver antigens. A wide range of clinical manifestations, from chronic indolent illness to fulminant hepatic failure, can be detected, and the diagnosis necessitates the exclusion of other causes of liver disease. Corticosteroid therapy must be started early and tailored to the person. The variety of clinical symptoms, uncertainty regarding the natural history, developing notions about therapeutic end targets, and the existence of many alternative immunosuppressive drugs can confound therapeutic decisions. The ultimate aim of the desired therapy is to achieve normal liver tests and tissue; however, this must be balanced against the danger of side effects. Early liver transplantation may be beneficial for decompensated patients. When therapy is started quickly and aggressively, the long-term prognosis is excellent. Our article addresses AIH and provides a thorough overview of its clinical presentation, risk factors, immunopathogenesis, modern diagnostic criteria, recent advancements in therapy, a brief discussion of AIH during pregnancy, and long-term effects on cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with AIH.

These three things can positively and negatively impact the dynamics of changes in children's character. Therefore, teachers have a vital and strategic role in building children's character so they have character resilience amid the rapid flow of technology and information development.TRANSLATE with x EnglishArabicHebrewPolishBulgarianHindiPortugueseCatalanHmong DawRomanianChinese SimplifiedHungarianRussianChinese TraditionalIndonesianSlovakCzechItalianSlovenianDanishJapaneseSpanishDutchKlingonSwedishEnglishKoreanThaiEstonianLatvianTurkishFinnishLithuanianUkrainianFrenchMalayUrduGermanMalteseVietnameseGreekNorwegianWelshHaitian CreolePersian //  TRANSLATE with COPY THE URL BELOW Back EMBED THE SNIPPET BELOW IN YOUR SITE Enable collaborative features and customize widget: Bing Webmaster PortalBack//
Study of petrophysical parameters of productive series by use of well data
Authors: Kerimova K.A.
Published: July 2023

The progress of existing geophysical techniques for the last years led to a wider scope of the problems resolved using this set of tools. The tools allow tackling pivotal tasks such as the study of lithology in a geological section, correlation, evaluation of saturation, porosity, permeability, and clay fraction, and outlining of oil-gas and water-saturated layers. Complications emerging while resolving these problems directly depend on the petrophysical parameters of reservoir layers. For instance, similar values of resistivity in oil and water layers result in high value of clay fraction and variation of porosity in a wide range and this complicates distinguishing the oil and water layers. On the other hand, it is known that an increase of cementing clay amount in reservoirs causes drop of porosity (Kpor.) and increase of residual water saturation.

This paper is devoted to design of models defining correlation between petrophysical parameters of reservoir layers by use of integrated well data and establishing regression equations from these parameters’ distributions. Models of variation of porosity, permeability, clay fraction and oil and gas saturation through the sections of wells were also designed. They made it possible to evaluate filtration-capacity characteristics and establish correlation between petrophysical parameters of reservoir layers and gain information about this field.

The bar graph was drawn for permeability coefficient variation through studied reservoirs in Qirmaky suite (QD-1, QD-2, QD-3, QD-4) by use of sections of wells conditionally marked as 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the Balakhany field.

Analysis of the constructed histograms allows us to classify the studied collector layers according to their permeability. Of the 17 layers studied in section of well 1, only Layer 17 has very good permeability, the other 16 are of good permeability; all 17 layers of well 2 have good permeability characteristics; of the 17 layers of well 3, Layer 3 is of poor permeability, layers 6, 7, and 14 have average permeability, and the rest are of good permeability; all 12 layers of well 4 have good permeability.

The study target is Qirmaky suite (QD-1, QD-2, QD-3, QD-4) of the Productive Series in Balakhany field.

The aim of this study is to enhance the efficiency of teaching field education courses in the Department of German Language Teaching by utilizing new media tools within the classroom setting. The study used a mixed research method, which gathered data from both quantitative and qualitative sources. The participants included a total of 160 (119 female and 41 male) sixth semester students studying at Trakya University. Data were gathered using questionnaire and a structured interview form. Frequency distribution was utilized to evaluate the quantitative data, while content analysis was performed to categorize the responses of the qualitative data. According to the study results, it is emphasized that new media technologies primarily allow students to have easier access to course materials and resources, make information permanent, engage in active learning, collaborate, and think creatively. Pre- and post-test results show that field education courses supported by new media have a positive impact on the development of fundamental language skills and partial language skills. In particular, the percentage and frequency values for the development of listening skills, vocabulary, and audio-visual skills are higher with the use of new media in field education. It is recommended that such applied studies should be designed by field experts, and efforts should be made to increase awareness among teacher candidates and graduates about practices that enhance learners' motivation.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to determine whether an infiltrative block with liposomal bupivacaine was associated with less rescue analgesia administration and lower pain scores than a bupivacaine splash block after ovariohysterectomy in dogs.

ANIMALS

Eligible dogs included those that were spayed as part of a veterinary teaching laboratory. Dogs were up to 7 years old and otherwise healthy. A total of 136 dogs were analyzed.

METHODS

All dogs underwent ovariohysterectomy performed by veterinary students. Dogs received hydromorphone and acepromazine premedication, propofol induction, isoflurane maintenance, and an NSAID. Dogs were randomly allocated to receive either a splash block with standard bupivacaine or an infiltrative block with liposomal bupivacaine for incisional analgesia. Postoperatively, all dogs were assessed by a blinded evaluator using the Colorado State University–Canine Acute Pain Scale (CSU-CAPS) and Glasgow Composite Measures Pain Scale–Short Form (GCPS-SF). Dogs received rescue analgesia with buprenorphine if they scored ≥ 2 on the CSU-CAPS scale.

RESULTS

Dogs that received liposomal bupivacaine had a significantly lower incidence of (P = .04) and longer time to (P = .03) administration of rescue analgesia. There was an overall time-averaged significant difference between groups for CSU-CAPS (P = .049) and GCPS-SF scores (P = .015), with dogs in the bupivacaine group being more likely to have an elevated pain score at some point for both scales.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The use of liposomal bupivacaine in an infiltrative block may decrease the need for rescue analgesia in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy compared to a bupivacaine splash block.

OBJECTIVE

To compare the performance of an interstitial glucose monitor (IGM) versus a portable blood glucose monitor (PBGM) in sick juvenile dogs in a veterinary ICU.

ANIMALS

16 client-owned dogs admitted to the university teaching hospital under 1 year of age with systemic illness.

PROCEDURES

Paired interstitial and blood glucose samples were collected. A third glucose measurement with a reference method was obtained when IGM and PBGM values were clinically disparate. Analytical accuracy was measured by Pearson correlation and agreement statistics, including mean absolute relative difference (MARD), bias, and 95% limits of agreement. The Parkes consensus error grid analysis was performed to assess clinical accuracy.

RESULTS

159 paired glucose measurements were available for analysis. Comparison of IGM readings to PBGM measurements resulted in an MARD of 15.4% and bias of –2.6%, with the 95% limits of agreement ranging from –42.5% to 37.4%. Positive correlation between IGM and PBGM (Pearson r = 0.65) was found. On consensus error grid analysis, 100% of the pairs fell into clinically acceptable zones (74.2% in zone A, and 25.8% in zone B). When disparate IGM and PBGM readings were compared to a laboratory reference standard (n = 13), both methods resulted in high MARD and wide limits of agreement.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The IGM provides clinically acceptable glucose measurements compared to PBGM to monitor glucose levels in juvenile dogs in a clinical setting. Further clinical studies with a larger sample size, particularly in the hypoglycemic range, are needed to assess IGM performance in the lower glucose range.

Background

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive lung disease that significantly impacts everyday life. To date, little is known about oral cavity health in patients with IPF.

Aim

The study aimed to evaluate the condition of the oral cavity in patients with IPF and to assess their quality of life concerning oral cavity health.

Methods

The study was a cross-sectional one, collecting clinical data of patients with IPF and control subjects without pulmonary disorders. Data collection included baseline characteristics, oral cavity inspection results, and 12 answers provided in the GOHAI questionnaire. Periodontal status was investigated, and PD, CAL, BoP, API, CPITN and OHI were analyzed. Saliva secretion, halitosis, and oral lesions were also assessed.

Results

A total of 85 subjects – 40 patients with IPF and 45 controls – were enrolled in the study. In patients with IPF, both lower PD [0.54 (0.36–0.96) vs. 1.1 (0.6–1.44); p=0.001] and CAL [0.54 (0.3–1.26) vs. 1.43 (1.04–1.91); p=0.006] were found, and those patients also had lower saliva secretion [1.08 (0.33) vs. 1.28 (0.39); p=0.01]. Patients with IPF received periodontal treatment less frequently [2 (2.24%) vs. 15 (17.6%); p=0.001], and dental instruction was shown to them less often compared to the controls [13 (32.5) vs. 26 (57.78); p=0.02]. Moreover, IPF patients had significantly higher GOHAI scores [50.68 (5.24) vs. 44.37 (5.94); p<0.001] compared to the control subjects.

Conclusions

Our study findings prompt the need for regular dental consultations and careful observation of dental prophylaxis in patients with IPF. The differences noted in the quality of life assessed using a GOHAI questionnaire need a further validation in larger cohort studies.
