BRAVING THE STREET
Authors: Glasser Irene , Bridgman Rae
Published: June 2024

As homelessness continues to plague North America and also becomes more widespread in Europe, anthropologists turn their attention to solving the puzzle of why people in some of the most advanced technological societies in the world are found huddled in a subway tunnel, squatting in a vacant building, living in a shelter, or camping out in an abandoned field or on a beach. Anthropologists have a long tradition of working in poverty subcultures and have been able to contribute answers to some of the puzzles of homelessness through their ability to enter the culture of the homeless without some of the preconceptions of other disciplines. The authors, anthropologists from the U.S.A. and Canada, offer us an analysis of homelessness that is grounded in anthropological research in North America and throughout the world. Both have in-depth experience through working in communities of the homeless and present us withthe results of their own work and with that of their colleagues.
CHALLENGING MODERNITY
Authors: Pegrum Mark A.
Published: June 2024

When Dada burst onto the European stage in 1916, it shocked and scandalized the public of its day with art forms, ideas, and attitudes which were so revolutionary that it is only in recent decades that they have begun to find recognition within the broad cultural movement known as postmodernism. In fact, many postmodern artistic and intellectual tendencies can be seen to have descended via an underground tradition from the experiments of the Dadaists earlier this century. Yet, the existence of this close link has been largely neglected by scholars. This book, for the first time, examines in depth the link between modernism and postmodernism and demonstrates the extensive similarities, as well as the few crucial differences between the ideas and art of the Dadaists on the one hand, and those of contemporary postmodern thinkers and artists on the other. Although they did not have access to postmodern terminology, it is clear that many Dadaists were essentially attempting to escape constrictive Enlightenment and modern(ist)structures in order to create a proto-postmodern space of différence, otherness, and flux. Their successes, failures, and compromises in this respect are very illustrative for anyone interested in the progress of our own intellectual and artistic culture in its wavering between modern and postmodern. This book offers a much-needed historical perspective and solid basis for the on-going debate on postmodernism.
MASTERING SOLDIERS
Authors: Ben-Ari Eyal
Published: June 2024

Studies of the military that deal with the actual experience of troops in the field are still rare in the social sciences. In fact, this ethnographic study of an elite unit in the Israeli Defense Force is the only one of its kind. As an officer of this unit and a professional anthropologist, the author was ideally positioned for his role as participant observer. During the eight years he spent with his unit he focused primarily on such notions as "conflict", "the enemy", and "soldiering" because they are, he argues, the key points of reference for "what we are" and "what we are trying to do" and form the basis for interpreting the environment within which armies operate. Relying on the latest anthropological approaches to cognitive models and the social constructions of emotion and masculinity, the author offers an in-depth analysis of the dynamics that drive the men's attitudes and behavior, and a rare and fascinating insight into the reality of military life.
SIGHT AND SOUND ENTWINED
Authors: Janecek Gerald J.
Published: June 2024

Notwithstanding the economic hardship Russian people are experiencing, their cultural life is as rich and alive as ever, as Gerald Janecek shows us in this collection of his articles on contemporary Russian poetry, which are especially written for this publication or so far only available in Russian. These articles focus on works in which sonic-musical, resp. visual-typographical features are used to produce interesting new effects and range from a musical analysis of the way Joseph Brodsky recited his poems to quasi-musical principles of organization (as in the works by Mnatsakanova and Nikonova) to layout designs that reflect the way a poem is recited (as in the case of Khudyakov, Volohovsky, Brodsky, Nekrasov, and Aigi) and perceived. As the first serious scholarly examination of the poets presented, this volume offers an important introduction to Russian avant-garde poetry.
DEMOCRACY IN EUROPE
Authors: Abromeit Heidrun
Published: June 2024

Since the beginning of the European Community students of international politics and of international, resp. Constitutional law, have been wondering what kind of animal it is, and will be, once integration has been completed. Whereas the EC Treaty of 1957 stressed the economic aspects and envisioned a steady and dynamic progress towards a Single Market, it was conspicuously silent about the political implications of integration and the new democratic order. What is needed, so the author argues in this powerful and original contribution to the debate on democratisation of the European Union, is a flexible system that supplements the European decision-making process with various direct democratic instruments such as the use of referenda. These would serve to increase the accountability of the politicians without demanding or requiring a definitive resolution of the exact constitutional status of the Union.
THE NEW AGE IN GLASTONBURY
Authors: Prince Ruth , Riches David
Published: June 2024

The New Age movement is a twentieth-century socio-cultural phenomenon in the Western world with Glastonbury as one of its major centers. Through experimenting with a number of ways of analyzing this movement, the authors were able to develop a novel theory of social religious movements of broad applicability. Based around contradictions relating to such central anthropological concepts as communitas, egalitarianism, individualism, holism, and autonomy, it reveals the processes by which, having abandoned a mainstream lifestyle, people come to build up a counter-culture way of life. Drawing on their own work on tribal shamanistic religions, the authors are able to point out interesting similarities between the latter and the Glastonbury New Age movement. Not only that: their model allows them to explain such wide-ranging social and religious movements as the Hutterites, the Kibbutz, and Green communes. In fact, the authors argue, these movements may be regarded as variations of the Glastonbury type.
RUSSIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY FROM 1880 TO 1905
Authors: Bohn Thomas M.
Published: June 2024

In Russian historiography, the Moscow School’s paradigm shift from political and legal history to social and economic history was markedly driven by Pavel Miliukov (1859-1943), the late leader of the Constitutional Democrats and foreign minister of the Provisional Government. Russian Historiography from 1880 to 1905 develops a narrative of historical sociology’s advancement through the Moscow School under Miliukov’s influence and provides a window into his decision making as a political figure who based his leadership not on public opinion but on the effectiveness of historical processes.

Genesis 5:24 in Karaite Exegesis: Printed Commentaries
Authors: Muchowski Piotr
Published: June 2024

This article addresses the niche problem of interpreting the text of Gen 5:24 “Enoch walked with God and he was not, for God took him” in Karaite exegetical literature. It aims to investigate with what technique this crucial text for Enochian literature was read and explained in biblical commentaries belonging to the canon of Karaite exegetical literature, and especially how the meaning of the verb “took” was interpreted. The subject of this study is the passages concerning the character of Enoch that are attested in three Hebrew-language commentaries published in print, dating from the 13th, 14th, and 19th centuries. These are Sefer ha-mivḥar ve-tov ha-misḥar by Aaron ben Joseph, Sefer keter Torah by Aaron ben Elijah, and Tirat kesef by Joseph Solomon ben Moses Lutski. All these commentaries were printed by the Karaite printing press in Gozleve (Eupatoria) in the 19th century and were used for educational purposes, including in the Polish-Lithuanian Karaite communities. Except for small fragments, these commentaries have never been translated or critically edited. The editions of the commentaries on Gen 5:24 included in this article provide a representative illustration of the peculiarities of Karaite biblical exegesis in the period from the late Middle Ages onward.
The Figures of Adam and Eve in the Old Polish Apocrypha of the New Testament
Authors: Stelmach Wojciech
Published: June 2024

Celem artykułu jest analiza fragmentów staropolskich tekstów apokryficznych Nowego Testamentu, które odnoszą się do postaci Adama i Ewy. Choć mogłoby się wydawać, że Pierwsi Rodzice są marginalnymi bohaterami w utworach nowotestamentalnych, badania porównawcze przekładów staropolskich z łacińskimi źródłami pokazują, że odgrywają oni istotną rolę w kontekście soteriologicznym i egzegetycznym. W artykule wybrane fragmenty apokryfów staropolskich zestawiono z podstawą przekładu i zinterpretowano decyzje tłumacza dotyczące wykorzystania postaci Adama i Ewy w średniowiecznym polskim tekście. Pozwalają nie tylko stworzyć antytypiczne pary: Adam – Jezus i Ewa – Maryja, ale również wyjaśnić naturę grzechu pierworodnego i jego rolę w dziele zbawienia.
The Crisis of Western Culture and Secularism
Authors: Perszon Jan
Published: June 2024

The subject of this article is the crisis of Western culture (Christianity) in terms of its sources and consequences. The author attempts to present the diagnosis of European culture by John Paul II and Benedict XVI. They associate its crisis with the internal weakness of Christianity (the Catholic religion) and the influence of philosophical trends and ideologies with the purpose of creating a “new culture” on the ruins of the old one. Postmodern thought, which not only breaks with the rationalism of the Enlightenment but questions (in the name of individual freedom) the truth and the ability to get to know it, plays a special role in this respect. The anti-Christian narrative adopted by intellectual elites in the West, which in some manifestations becomes an ideology of secularism, is thus a consequence of philosophical assumptions. The author suggests that the popularisation of a model of life according to the principle “as if God did not exist,” i.e. the acceleration of de-Christianisation processes (e.g. in Poland) is significantly related to the development of the so-called new media, especially in the form of virtual reality.
STRUCTURAL BASIS OF NOVEL ANTI-ROSACEA ACTIVE AGENT THROUGH INHIBITION OF KLK5 AND LL-37 GENE EXPRESSION: In-silico MODULATION
Authors: D. Hikmawati  , T. M. Fakih  , E. Sutedja  , R. F. Dwiyana  , N. Atik
Published: June 2024

Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by inflammation, and efforts to develop its treatment are ongoing. Overactivation of the enzymes Kallikrein-5 (KLK5) and peptide Cathelicidin (LL-37) has been identified as a regulatory factor in rosacea. Excessive activation of KLK5 and LL-37 can lead to chronic inflammation and manifest in symptoms like facial redness, swelling, and the formation of pustules. These molecules are crucial in the inflammatory process and can compromise the skin's integrity. Our study aimed to identify potential compounds from the ZINC20 database for rosacea therapy using virtual screening guided by in-silico molecular docking studies, insilico molecular dynamics simulations, and in-silico protein-peptide molecular docking studies targeting KLK5 and LL-37. Initially, we optimized the geometries of selected compounds from the ZINC20 database and then performed molecular docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations on KLK5, as well as protein-peptide molecular docking studies on LL-37. During drug similarity analysis of the compounds, we observed no violations of Lipinski's five rules and found no evidence of hepatotoxicity. Based on the docking score for KLK5, we identified ZINC compounds with favorable molecular interactions. Subsequently, we conducted 200 ns MD simulations and assessed system stability using RMSD, RMSF, Rg, H-bonding, RDF, SASA, and MM-PBSA. Among the ZINC compounds, ZINC000022339916 demonstrated superior stability compared to others, as well as azelaic acid and native ligands. Moreover, ZINC000888090135 and ZINC000888088617 were capable of preventing LL-37 from binding to the surface of KLK5. These findings highlight the potential of these compounds in inhibiting KLK5 activity and disrupting LL-37 interactions in the context of rosacea treatment

The article is devoted to the disclosure of the key areas and tools for forming the marketing policy of enterprises in wartime. Strategic tools of marketing policy aimed at the long-term development of an enterprise remain relevant, and tactical tools are used to respond quickly to changes. The results of the research show that the work of manufacturing enterprises under martial law was most significantly affected by problems with supply, sales, and a lack of qualified workers. With restrictions on physical contacts and movement, digital channels are becoming the main channel of communication and sometimes sales. Businesses can actively use social media, contextual advertising, direct marketing, and other online tools to promote their products and services.
Creating high-quality and informative content helps businesses prove their expertise, attract the attention of the audience, and strengthen their reputation. Blogs, articles, video content, and other formats can be effective tools in times of war. With the growing number of mobile device users, the development of mobile applications, optimization of websites for mobile devices and the use of mobile advertising allow you to reach your audience anytime, anywhere. In times of war and crisis, the focus on the local community and market becomes even more important. Businesses in relocation use local media channels, organize events and promotions for the local audience. Social media can be an effective tool for communicating with the audience, expressing the company's position on important issues, and supporting humanitarian and social initiatives.
In such conditions, marketing policy is an effective tool for resilience, flexibility and readiness for rapid changes to ensure the development of the enterprise.

This study analyzes in detail the impact of business ethics on crisis management. The analysis showed that ethical principles define the standards of behavior for companies in difficult situations, including crisis situations. They help to create a positive image of the company and also help to avoid situations that could lead to crises. In particular, business ethics takes into account the company's responsibility to various stakeholders and defines a system of values that takes into account the economic, social and environmental aspects of its activities. The study also systematized the ethical principles that become the basis for developing crisis management strategies. These principles include fairness, trust, responsibility to the community, and compliance with the law. It is found that the effective implementation of these principles in the company's activities contributes not only to its economic stability but also determines its role in the sustainable development of society. The study also examines the impact of martial law in Ukraine on the economic security of companies and the effectiveness of their crisis management. The main material damage caused by Russia's armed aggression, as well as the extraordinary circumstances that led to the personnel crisis and restrictions on the transportation of goods, are identified. In the context of the identified crisis phenomena, the main components of business ethics in the system of crisis management are thoroughly considered. The analysis of these components allowed us to formulate conclusions about the importance of implementing ethical principles in crisis management strategies to ensure the stability and resources of the company in a crisis. The implementation of corporate volunteering and partnerships with stakeholders to proactively address social and economic problems caused by the war is a relevant area of ethical conduct.

A comparative analysis of prediction problems utilizing Interval type-2 fuzzy and machine learning models
Authors: Umoh Uduak , Asuquo Daniel , Eyoh Imo , Murugesan Vadivel
Published: June 2024

This paper compares the effectiveness of Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Logic (IT2FL) and Machine Learning (ML) models in addressing real-world challenges. It employs four non-parametric ML algorithms (Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), (Random Forest (RF) and Classification and Regression Tree (CART)) and evaluates their performance against IT2FL using parameters generated through Gaussian membership functions. Initially, the IT2FL algorithm preprocesses the dataset by predicting missing values, leveraging IT2F membership to optimize decision-making and mitigate uncertainties. The study assesses the predictive performance, robustness, and interpretability of IT2F-ML models, analyzing datasets from cardiovascular disease patients to predict shock levels. After transforming the dataset using IT2FL, it is divided into 60% training and 40% testing sets to train and test four ML algorithms, aimed at predicting shock levels in patients.

HNet: A deep learning based hybrid network for speaker dependent visual speech recognition
Authors: Chandrabanshi Vishnu , Domnic S.
Published: June 2024

Visual Speech Recognition (VSR) is a popular area in computer vision research, attracting interest for its ability to precisely analyze lip motion and seamlessly convert them into textual representation. VSR systems leverage visual features to augment the understanding of automated speech and predict text. VSR finds various applications, including enhancing speech recognition in scenarios with degraded acoustic signals, aiding individuals with hearing impairments, bolstering security by reducing reliance on text based passwords, facilitating biometric authentication for liveness detection, and enabling underwater communications. Despite the various techniques proposed for improving the resilience and precision of automatic speech recognition, VSR still has challenges like homophones of words, gradient descent issues with varying sequence lengths, and lip reading demands accounting for short and long range correlations between consecutive video frames. We have proposed a hybrid network (HNet) with multilayered three dimensional dilated convolution neural network (3D-CNN). The spatio-temporal feature extraction process will be facilitated by dilated 3D-CNN. HNet integrates two bidirectional recurrent neural networks (BiGRU and BiLSTM) to process the feature sequences bidirectionally to establish the temporal relationship. The fusion of BiGRU-BiLSTM capabilities allows the model to process feature sequences more comprehensively and effectively. The proposed work focuses on face based biometric authentication for liveness detection using the VSR model to boost security against face spoofing. The existing face based biometric systems are widely used for individual authentication and verification but are still vulnerable to 3D masks and adversarial attacks. The VSR system can be added to existing face based verification systems as a second level authentication technique to identify a person with liveness. The working ideology of the VSR system will be based on the challenge response technique, where a person has to pronounce the passcode silently displayed on the screen. The VSR model assesses its effectiveness using word error rate (WER), which matches the pronounced passcode to the one presented on the screen. Overall, the proposed work aims to enhance the accuracy of VSR so that it can be combined with existing face based authentication systems. The proposed system outperforms the existing VSR system and obtained 1.3% WER. The significance of the proposed hybrid model is that it efficiently captures temporal dependencies, enhancing context embedding, improving robustness to input variability, reducing information loss, and enhancing performance and accuracy in modeling and analyzing passcode pronunciation patterns.

Stacked collaborative transformer network with contrastive learning for video moment localization
Authors: Megala G. , Swarnalatha P.
Published: June 2024

Video grounding intends to perform temporal localization in multimedia information retrieval. The temporal bounds of the target video span are determined for the given input query. A novel interactive multi-head self-attention (IMSA) transformer is proposed to localize an unseen moment in the untrimmed video for the given image. A new semantic-trained self-supervised approach is considered in this paper to perform cross-domain learning to match the image query – video segment. It normalizes the convolution function enabling efficient correlation and collecting of semantically related video segments across time based on the image query. A double hostile Contrastive learning with Gaussian distribution parameters method is advanced to learn the representations of video. The proposed approach performs dynamically on various video components to achieve exact semantic synchronization and localization among queries and video. In the proposed approach, the IMSA model localizes frames greatly compared to other approaches. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that the proposed model can significantly increase temporal grounding accuracy. The moment occurrence is identified in the video with a start and end boundary ascertains an average recall of 86.45% and a mAP of 59.3%.

Nowadays, as an indispensable part of urban infrastructure, urban rail transit (URT) vehicles have also developed rapidly. A large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources need to be invested in the construction process of URT. For URT vehicles, research on more accurate fault prediction methods can save a lot of maintenance costs and improve the reliability of URT construction. As an important electrical equipment for urban rail transit vehicles to obtain electric energy from the catenary, the operation of rail transit vehicles puts forward higher performance requirements for the pantograph. For solving the problems of low accuracy of fault prediction, over reliance on practical experience and high cost of fault prediction in the application of traditional URT vehicle pantograph fault prediction model. Combining sensor network and artificial intelligence algorithm, this paper analyzed the traditional rail transit vehicle pantograph fault prediction model, and verified it through comparative experiments. Through the comparative analysis of the experimental results, this paper can draw a conclusion that compared with the traditional rail transit vehicle pantograph fault prediction model, the rail transit vehicle pantograph fault prediction model has higher fault prediction accuracy, less model response time, lower risk of pantograph failure, higher model application satisfaction, and the accuracy of fault prediction increased by about 6.6%. The rail transit vehicle pantograph fault prediction model can effectively improve the accuracy of vehicle pantograph fault prediction, which can greatly promote the safety of URT and promote the intelligent process of URT.

Published: June 2024

Background:

With the arrival of disease-modifying treatments, it is mandatory to find new cognitive markers that are sensitive to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology in preclinical stages.

Objective:

To determine the utility of a newly developed Learning and Associative Memory face test: LAM test. This study examined the relationship between AD cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers and performance on LAM test, and assessed its potential clinical applicability to detect subtle changes in cognitively healthy subjects at risk for AD.

Methods:

We studied eighty cognitively healthy volunteers from the Valdecilla cohort. 61% were women and the mean age was 67.34 years (±6.416). All participants underwent a lumbar puncture for determination of CSF biomarkers and an extensive neuropsychological assessment, including performance on learning and associative memory indices of the LAM-test after 30 min and after 1 week, and two classic word lists to assess verbal episodic memory: the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) and the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT). We analyzed cognitive performance according to amyloid status (A+ versus A–) and to ATN model (A–T–N–; A+T–N–; A+T+N–/A+T+N+).

Results:

Performance on the LAM-test was significantly correlated with CSF Aβ ratio. A+ participants performed worse on both learning (mean difference = 2.19, p = 0.002) and memory LAM measures than A– (mean difference = 2.19, p = 0.004). A decline in performance was observed along the Alzheimer’s continuum, with significant differences between ATN groups.

Conclusions:

Our findings suggest that LAM test could be a useful tool for the early detection of subjects within the AD continuum, outperforming classical memory tests.

Published: June 2024

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a valuable assessment of the patient’s awareness of time and place. We show that bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) significantly affects MoCA testing when administered by the intravesical route. MoCA scores were lower with increasing age and higher in more formally educated individuals. Patients receiving BCG tended to maintain their MoCA scores, whereas almost half the control cases tended to show reduced scores. This benefit is supported by reduced pre-amyloid biomarkers in BCG-injected healthy volunteers and a favorable effect on neuronal dendritic development in animal models. Our results suggest that BCG has a beneficial impact on the cognitive status of older individuals.

Published: June 2024

A coaxially integrated macro-micro composite actuator (MMCA) with large stroke and high accuracy is proposed by combining a voice coil motor (VCM) with the giant magnetostrictive actuator (GMA). The magnetic circuit model of the macro-motion part is established based on the driving principle of VCM, and the multi-field coupling model of the micro-motion part is established based on the Jiles-Atherton model. The finite element method was used to analyze the relationship between displacement, output force, velocity, acceleration, and time of the macro-motion part under different currents, the magnetic flux density, output force, and displacement curves of the micro-motion part, and the mutual influence between the macro and micro motion parts were analyzed. The prototype of the MMCA was developed, and an experimental test platform was built. The results show that the MMCA macro-motion displacement curve can fit the simulation curve well during open-loop positioning, and when the current size of the input macro-motion coil is 4 A, the experimental curve of the MMCA is the most consistent with the simulation curve. When closed-loop control, the motion curve of the drive can well follow the set displacement curve, in which the maximum stroke of the prototype developed is 50 mm, the positioning error of the macro-motion part is less than 20 μm, the maximum stroke of the micro-motion part is 40 μm, and the overall positioning accuracy of the MMCA is 0.14 μm. The research results provide a new idea and theoretical basis for further optimization and development of precision positioning platform with high precision and large stroke.
