A Re-appraisal of the Challenges Associated with Detecting Alien Signals and Technosigniatures
Authors:   Royal Astronomical Society, Robertshaw Gary
Published: July 2023

The Rare Earth Hypothesis contends that Earth’s unusual formation and distinct evolutionary pathways led to the unlikely emergence of Homo sapiens. This contention is developed further by combining the universal principles of the Newtonian n-body problem and Darwinism to argue that there is also an inherent randomness in the sequence, timing, duration and nature of evolutionary outcomes on alien worlds. This has two important implications. Firstly, where alien life might emerge, evolutionary pathways must differ considerably to those on Earth. Within this, intelligence is not the goal of evolution nor is it necessarily the best adaptation for a given niche; there is no systematic, inexorable progression towards higher intelligence and technology. Secondly, the chances of an advanced alien civilisation emerging from a separate, random evolutionary pathway with matching technology, and proximate signalling in deep time are vanishingly small. This re appraisal of the challenges associated with detecting alien signals has the advantage of using two key universal principles without relying explicitly on anthropocentric assumptions.

Advanced Propulsion for Fast Lunar Missions
Authors:   Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Politecnico di Torino, Italy, Genta Giancarlo
Published: July 2023

Half a century ago the Apollo missions carried 12 people to spend a short time on the Moon. After all this time, the space agencies of some countries and a number of private companies committed themselves to restart human lunar exploration, this time with the aim to establish a long-term human presence on our satellite and to start a lunar economy. Most of the planned lunar missions are based on the use of chemical propulsion, which allows to perform the one-way Earth-Moon travel in 3 or 4 days. Recently NASA and DARPA joined forces to develop a nuclear thermal rocket for planetary and lunar missions. In spite of the relatively small distance of the Moon from the Earth, carrying the required payload to the Moon is costly and there is some interest in using more advanced propulsion systems, with the purposes of reducing both the travel time and the cost. In particular, advanced propulsion devices will be developed for travelling to more distant destinations and, when they will be available, they could be used with advantages also for the Moon. The aim of the present paper is to discuss the perspectives which will be opened in the future by the possibility of using nuclear (both thermal and electric) or solar electric propulsion and, in a more distant future, nuclear fusion propulsion to travel to the Moon. A number of examples of lunar missions performed with different types of advanced propulsion show what are the conditions at which these advances can be achieved and which are the constraints that will limit these efforts.

Today’s space nuclear technology programs are often confronted with two fundamental challenges early in the project life cycle: 1) development and testing will be more expensive than a non-nuclear alternative, and 2) the consequences of failure will be more severe. As a result, many space nuclear programs have been designed to minimize testing and maximize their probability of success: their reliability. The United States' Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Applications Program recognized these facts early on, and by 1961 the program’s primary objective set safety and reliability as the overriding considerations. This focus on reliability greatly influenced the engine's design towards minimizing the possible number of catastrophic failures modes. As such, the final configuration heavily relied on duplicate components for redundancy, including duplicate turbopumps. Despite these efforts, at program cancellation in 1972, the non-nuclear subsystem only achieved a mission predicted reliability of 33%. Some of the most significant contributions to rocket engine reliability in the last 50 years have been from advancements in the Health Monitoring System (HMS). Through rigorous instrumentation and control an engine's HMS has the potential to convert over 90% of a system's catastrophic failure modes to a safe shutdown situation. Due to this, many modern rocket engine designs no longer require redundant components and can prioritize performance-enhancing configurations over those that inherently minimize failure modes. Unfortunately, a standard liquid rocket engine HMS will likely not be compatible with a nuclear rocket engine (NRE). The HMS for a liquid rocket engine most often prevents catastrophic failure by shutting off flow to the combustion chamber. This would not work for a NRE, as removing propellant flow to the reactor could result in reactor overheating and meltdown. Maintaining flow to the reactor is often essential for safe NRE operation, such that reliance on an advanced HMS system alone may not be sufficient. This work investigates the feasibility of an NRE HMS by comparing the HMS designs for liquid rocket engines and terrestrial nuclear power plants and evaluates the necessity for redundant components to maximize overall system reliability.

Hamlet and The Dervish and Death in the context of the revenge tragedy
Authors: Terzić Marija
Published: July 2023

This paper tackles researching the tragedy of revenge features in Shakespeare's play Hamlet and Death and the dervish novel by Meša Selimović. This paper aims to demonstrate why the protagonists are (not) the heroes of the revenge tragedy. Thus, it strives to shed light on the similarities and differences between the two them emphasizing why the Serbian novel deviates from the revenge tragedy conventions simultaneously pointing out those in line with these conventions. It will focus on the two most significant tragedy hubs such as crime and revenge. Additionally, this research paper will explore the aspects of brutality, and bloody scenes in the novel proving it can also be interpreted in the light of revenge tragedy, given the elements of violence such as murder and bloodthirsty horsemen and horses. Also, it tries to highlight the turning point in Hamlet's character that occurred due to it being divided between stoicism and the will of God (predestination).
Approaches to online learning: From imitation to innovation
Authors: Janković Anita
Published: July 2023

Online learning has become an integral part of the educational environment, especially in higher education. Although the practice is not yet widespread or systematized, there seems to be an increasing number of institutions and individuals embracing this innovation. This increase is not limited to the developed world; the teaching staff in developing countries are equally enthusiastic about mediated learning for various reasons, including expanding access and providing flexibility to the population seeking education and continuous training. The ubiquity and multitude of ways and tools for communication among people are the most notable characteristics of network-based culture and economy. Institutions that previously relied on students gathering in classrooms can now offer their study programs online. The frameworks of implementation of digital technology range from those that imitate traditional classroom patterns to models that fully leverage the potential of digital technology to create an authentic learning environment. The paper presents five models of online learning, from those that use technology as a support to the traditional approach, such as the flipped classroom model and the virtual classroom model. It then moves on to the blended learning model, which sits in the middle of the continuum between imitation and innovation, representing a fundamental change in the approach to education. Finally, the paper introduces the model of collaborative online learning and the model of connectives learning, implemented in the form of massive open online courses, which represent a disruptive innovation that threatens to destabilize the world of formal education.

Published: July 2023

El matrimonio está perdiendo relevancia social en la actualidad. El prestigio social que conllevaba esta institución ha ido desvaneciéndose a lo largo de los años. El objetivo primigenio de esta investigación es conocer las preferencias nupciales de la generación más joven que empieza a matrimoniar. Las diferentes prioridades generacionales tendrán un impacto futuro en la industria nupcial. Un sector generador de empleo que mueve millones de euros. Dichas preferencias deben evaluarse para que el sector nupcial esté preparado a la hora de ofrecer los productos y servicios que demandan las generaciones más jóvenes. Para llevar a cabo este estudio se ha realizado una encuesta a jóvenes entre 18 y 28 años, pertenecientes a la generación Z. Además, se ha querido conocer el punto de vista de los profesionales del sector de bodas, a través de entrevistas a wedding planners. Entre los resultados principales destacamos, que, frente a una imagen de generación puramente digital, con lo que respecta a sus futuras bodas, siguen un esquema tradicional de celebración, donde el único apunte que les diferencia es que, las redes sociales, en especial Instagram, son su principal fuente de inspiración.

Reaching IMO 2050 GHG Targets Exclusively Through Energy Efficiency Measures
Authors: Lindstad Elizabeth , Polic Dražen , Rialland Agathe , Sandaas Inge , Stokke Tor
Published: July 2023

_

Maritime transport accounts for around 3% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Well-to-Wake). These GHG emissions must be reduced by at least 50% in absolute values by 2050 to contribute to the ambitions of the Paris Agreement signed in 2015. Switching to zero-carbon fuels made from renewable sources (hydro, wind, or solar) is seen by many as the most promising option to deliver the desired GHG reductions. However, renewable energy is a scarce resource that gives a much larger GHG reduction spent within other sectors. This study explores how to reach the IMO 2050 GHG targets exclusively through energy efficiency measures. The results indicate that by combining wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP) with a slender hull form, fuel consumption and GHG emissions can be reduced by 30–35%, at a negative abatement cost for speeds exceeding 8 knots. Where the cost saving increases with the speed because at higher speeds, the fuel accounts for a higher share of the total cost, which implies that the cost saving goes from zero at 8 knots, to 5% reduction at 11 knots average speed to 14% reduction of total cost with 15 knots average speed. In comparison, GHG reductions through zero-carbon fuels will increase transport costs by 50–200%.

Introduction

From the first days of our civilization, sea transport has enabled regional and global trades. Today, sea transport accounts for 80% of the global trade measured in ton-miles (UNCTAD 2021) and 3% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions measured Well-to-Wake (Lindstad et al. 2021). More than 40% of this sea trade is performed by dry bulkers, making them the real workhorses of the sea. Even though sea transport is energy efficient compared to other transport modes, all sectors need to reduce their GHG emissions by at least 50% in absolute values by 2050 to contribute to the Paris Agreement (UNFCCC 2015). According to Bouman et al. (2017), the desired energy and GHG reductions can be achieved through: Design and other technical improvements of ships; Operational improvements; Fuels with zero or low GHG footprints; or a combination of these.

Published: July 2023

Background-Purpose: The ongoing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has affected our everyday lives for the last three years, leading to in numerous patient hospitalizations all over the world and a plethora of therapeutic interventions being implemented in an effort to combat the disease. Baricitinib is an oral selective Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor approved for the treatment of rheumatic disease that was hypothesized to bear positive effect on the more severe forms of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on its antiviral and anti-cytokine properties. The purpose of the current prospective cohort study was to study the effect of adding baricitinib to the usual drug regimen of patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 in the infectious disease unit of a third-level hospital. Patients-Methods: The current prospective cohort study was conducted at the Infectious Disease Unit of the 401 General Military Hospital of Athens, recruiting a total of 74 patients who were hospitalized with severe COVID-19 based on the COVID-19 severity index. Relevant demographic data, personal and family medical history and turnout of the cases was documented. Laboratory examinations as well as arterial blood gases (ABGs) were recorded and analysed both upon admission and discharge of the patients. An oral dose of 4 mg baricitinib daily (or an adjusted dose of 2 mg daily in cases of renal disease) was added to the usual therapeutic regimen of the patients. Results: For the purpose of the current study, we recruited 74 patients (male sex 81.1%, mean age 52,8±17,2 years old). Six patients (8.1%) were fully vaccinated and 32 patients (43.2%) presented at least one comorbidity (chronic cardiovascular disease, chronic liver disease, chronic kidney disease, immunosuppression, diabetes mellitus or obesity). Mean hospitalization time reached 10.9 ± 5.8 days while mean time of baricitinib administration was 9.2 ± 2.9 days. Regarding outcomes of hospitalizations, 12 patients (16.2%) needed to be transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU), with 6 of them finally succumbing to the disease. Administration of the drug led to a statistically significant drop of inflammatory markers as well as a statistically significant improvement of respiratory function as evaluated by ABGs. No serious adverse events were recorded. Conclusion: The addition of oral baricitinib to the standard drug regimen of hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 proved safe and efficacious in managing symptoms of the disease, leading to swift clinical complaint and laboratory profile improvements.

Background: Bacterial pathogens continued to be the major causes of foodborne gastroenteritis in humans and remained public health important pathogens across the globe. As regards, housemaids operating inside a kitchen could be the source of infection and may transmit disease-inflicting pathogens through infected hands. Profiles of bacteria isolates and their antimicrobial resistance patterns among housemaids employed in dwellings in Ethiopia; particularly in the study area haven’t been underexplored yet. Objective: A study aimed to assess the profiles of bacteria isolates and antimicrobial resistance patterns among housemaids working in communal living residences in Jimma City, Ethiopia. Methods: Laboratory-based cross-sectional study design was employed among 230 housemaids from April-June 2022. Hand swabs samples from the dominant hand of the study participants were collected under sterile conditions for the segregation of commensal microbes following standard operating procedures. Then in the laboratory, the swabs were inoculated aseptically using streak-plating methods on mannitol salt agar, MacConkey agar, Salmonella-shigella agar, and Eosin Methylene Blue Agar. Then inoculated samples were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours for bacterial isolation. In addition, a set of biochemical tests was applied to examine bacterial species. Data was entered into Epidata version 3.1. All statistics were performed using SPSS® statistics version 26. Descriptive analyses were summarized using frequency and percentage. Results: The response rate of respondents was 97.8%. The prevalence of bacterial contaminants in the hands of housemaids who tested positive was 72% (95%CI: 66.2-77.8%). The isolated bacterial were Staphylococcus aureus (31.8%), Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (0.9%), Escherichia coli (21.5%), Salmonella (1.3%), Shigella (6.7%), Klebsiella species (23.3%) and Proteus species (14.8%). The isolation rate of bacteria was significantly associated with the removal watch, ring, and bracelet during hand washing. Most isolated bacteria were sensitive to Chloramphenicol while the majority of them were resistant to Tetracycline, Gentamycin, Vancomycin, and Ceftazidime. Conclusion: Hands of housemaids are important potential sources of disease-causing bacterial pathogens that would result in the potential risk of foodborne diseases. Most isolated bacteria were resistant to tested antimicrobial drugs. Everybody responsible should work practice of good hand hygiene.

[Objective] ZEB2 is known to be participated in several cancers, yet there is no comprehensive analysis about its function in pan-cancer. This study aimed to investigate the role ZEB2 plays in pan-cancer. [Methods] The data was downloaded from the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) Xena and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The mRNA expression status of ZEB2 was studied in the TCGA_GTEx samples, TCGA samples and paired samples in TCGA, respectively, and protein expression status was obtained from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Cancer data analysis Portal (UALCAN). Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied to 33 kinds of tumors in TCGA, then among the cancers that ZEB2 can affect prognosis, clinical correlation analysis and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed. Furthermore, to conﬁrm the prognostic value of ZEB2 in cancers, nomogram models were constructed on lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD). The relationship between ZEB2 mRNA expression and immune cell inﬁltrates was determined by tumor immune estimation resource (TIMER2.0). Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed by the STRING. Functional enrichment analysis was also performed using the “ClusterProﬁler” package. [Results] ZEB2 was expressed in most tumors, either upregulated or downregulated, and correlated with clinical characteristics in a part of tumors. The expression level of ZEB2 was also found to impact the prognosis of tumors. Additionally, ZEB2 expression was significantly related to immune cells infiltration level in tumor microenvironment. [Conclusion] we propose that ZEB2 has the potential to be a prognostic biomarker and a promising target for cancer immunotherapy.
Design principles for higher education teacher development

This study moves from the research question: how to design a professional course/concept for the development of higher education teachers’ digital competences? It presents Teknosofikum, a project funded by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science between 2020 and 2023. The outcome of the project is a course for higher education teachers with a focus on digital competence. Grounded in sociomaterial theories, digital competence refers here to the capacity to develop agency towards professional changes driven by technology. It comprises teachers’ abilities to evaluate why, when, how and with what effects to include digital technologies in teaching. The study draws on qualitative and quantitative data gathered through design-based research along the first three course iterations,with a total of 64 participants. The findings show the emergence of three design principles: (i) relational approach to technology; (ii) praxis; and (iii)organized non-linearity. These principles will guide the final format of Teknosofikum course/concept.

Denne artikel omhandler sammenhængen mellem læreres holdninger til og videnom de nationale test og deres anvendelse af testdata. Vi undersøger en tese om,at lærernes viden om resultaterne fra de nationale test er betinget af deres forståelseaf den bagvedliggende teknologi udtrykt gennem deres holdning til og anvendelseaf testen. Artiklen er baseret på en spørgeskemaundersøgelse af Bundsgaard& Puck (2016), der omhandler lærernes brug af resultaterne fra de nationale test,deres holdninger til testen og deres faktuelle viden om, hvordan den kan anvendes.Bundsgaard & Puck (2016) har lagt deres indsamlede data off entligt tilgængeligt,og det rummer muligheden for at nuancere og udvide deres konklusioner.Spørgeskemaundersøgelsen indeholder besvarelser fra 768 danske folkeskolelærere.På baggrund af datasætt et har vi udvalgt en række spørgsmål vedrørende læreresanvendelse af, opfatt else af, viden om og fortolkning af de nationale testresultater.Datasætt et giver mulighed for at sammenholde lærernes viden om, anvendelse af ogholdninger til de nationale test, hvilket ikke tidligere er blevet undersøgt.I vores artikel konkluderer vi, at der er sammenhæng mellem lærernes viden omudlægningen af resultaterne fra de nationale test og deres anvendelse af testresultaterne.Lærerne, der udviser større viden om fortolkningen af testresultaterne, ermere tilbøjelige til at undersøge elevernes svar samt sammenholde resultaterne medtidligere år. Omvendt fi nder vi ikke nogen sammenhæng mellem lærernes holdningtil de nationale test og deres viden om udlægningen af testresultaterne. Analysenpræsenterer ny viden om sammenhængen mellem viden, forståelse og anvendelseaf de nationale test blandt danske lærere på baggrund af regressionsanalyser, derkontrollerer for lærernes erfaring med testen, anciennitet i lærergerningen ogundervisningsfag. I diskussionen fremhæves implikationerne ved at introducereet teknologisk komplekst redskab, som de nationale test, som evalueringsværktøjog didaktisk udviklingsredskab i folkeskolen. Artiklen bidrager med at identifi -cere nogle af de mulige konsekvenser, der er ved at anvende de nationale test somudgangspunkt for lærernes formative evalueringspraksis.

Denne artikel undersøger digitale teknologiers rekonfi guration i skiftende uddannelseskontekster.Fra et efteruddannelsesforløb om teknologiforståelse, det 21.århundredes kompetencer og nye lærerroller følger vi to læreres implementering afet undervisningsforløb på deres skole, der er inspireret af erfaringer med Padlet-teknologien,som de har gjort sig i forbindelse med efteruddannelsesforløbet. Selvomundervisningsforløbet i skolen omhandler kreativitet og kollaboration, brugerbørnene Padlet-teknologien på uventede og ifølge lærerne upassende måder, somrækker ud over skolens legitime videnspraksis. Vi peger i artiklen på behovet foren lærerfaglig teknologiforståelse i læreres efteruddannelsesforløb, der indbefatt erdigitale teknologiers rekonfi guration i situerede praksisser, og som favner teknologisom en kulturkraft.
The role of domain-general and mentalizing processes in spontaneous visual perspective-taking
Authors:   , Pesimena Gabriele
Published: July 2023

We cannot help but be influenced by the presence of others. Even when the others are not actively engaging with us, their mere view interferes with our focus hindering our actions or tasks. Two accounts have advanced an explanation of the processes underlying this interference effect. On one hand, this interference has been explained in terms of the implicit mentalizing process, a social process, thanks to which people can fast and unconsciously process others’ visual perspectives. On the other hand, a second interpretation, known as sub-mentalizing, explains the interference by means of low-level domain-general cognitive processes such as involuntary attentional orienting driven by the other’s directional features. By employing for the first time a set of bi-directional cues, it was possible to isolate the social features of the others and measure their relative contribution in generating this interference effect. The results of a series of experiments suggested that both mentalizing and low-level domain-general processes may be behind this phenomenon laying the basis of a novel interpretative model of the interference effect which provides a comprehensive framework for understanding this phenomenon. The novel model encompasses both interpretations by comprising two fast involuntary processes: an automatic attentional orienting process driven by the directional features of others; and a spontaneous mentalizing process driven by the social relevance and intentionality of others. The model also includes a voluntary decisional response selection process that modulates the interference depending on task demands and working memory resources.
Digesting creepypasta: social media horror narratives as gothic fourth-generation digital fiction
Authors:   , Ondrak Joe
Published: July 2023

This thesis examines, recontextualises, and provides a new methodology for analysing a collection of Internet phenomena known as ‘Creepypasta’. Critically engaging with its form and participation in the Gothic and horror literary traditions, I argue that creepypasta should be considered as an emergent genre that manifests through the form of digital fiction and derives a renewed horror and Gothic affect through that form. Existing as unnerving tales written for and spread across social media and Web2.0 websites, creepypasta is an acknowledged, but under-studied genre of fiction. The majority of scholarly attention has analysed creepypasta through the lens of folklore studies which, while aware of the affordances of its digital form, considers creepypasta as folklore first rather than being attentive to media specificity or situating its form and unnerving affective qualities at the centre of its definition. I attest that creepypasta is emblematic of fourth-generation digital fiction and a continuation of horror and Gothic literary traits. In particular, I forward that creepypasta leverages its form to reinvent and renew ways of engaging with the Gothic traits of threats and ontological ambiguity. This, I argue, is primarily achieved through what I define as “ontological flattening”, whereby real users and their responses, and the fictional story they are reading and responding to exist in the same textual space without borders, implied hierarchy, or explicit indicators of fictionality in the story text. Throughout my analyses of Candle Cove (2009), The Slender Man (2009), and The Interface Series (2016), I demonstrate how ontological flattening is central to how creepypasta renews Gothic characteristics. In chapter 4, I forward a development on Isabelle Klaiber’s “double plot model” of collaborative interactive fiction to take into account collaboration in ontologically flattened spaces. In chapter 5, I also introduce the concept of the techno-Weird as a new form of contemporary Gothic fiction that uses ontologically flattened spaces as a way to emphasise characteristics of weird fiction. I conclude by presenting my model of the relationship between readers, creepypasta, and ontologically flattened spaces, and indicating where future applications may lie.
