LEGAL ASPECTS OF ENERGY COOPERATION OF THE SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION MEMBER STATES
Authors: Hongwei Wang , Ju Zhang
Published: April 2024

Energy is the main area of cooperation among the member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). From project cooperation to "Energy Cooperation Club" agreements, the member states' desire to jointly build energy cooperation has achieved certain results. The existing SCO energy cooperation takes the form of declarations, agreements, statements, meeting minutes and memorandums of understanding, as well as principle provisions that lack clear responsibilities in treaties. It is soft at the level of international law, and it does not fully constitute a comprehensive legal cooperation mechanism. The laws of each member state lack stability and uniformity, and existing treaties do not have corresponding mechanisms to ensure the implementation of dispute settlement solutions. There is also a lack of interest coordination mechanisms accepted by member states, making it difficult to meet the needs of current and future SCO energy cooperation. In the future, only by giving full play to the role of the "Energy Cooperation Club" and establishing a comprehensive and effective legal mechanism for energy cooperation, including energy cooperation information sharing mechanism, energy cooperation environmental protection legal mechanism and energy dispute settlement mechanism can we fundamentally solve the problems in mutual energy cooperation. To strengthen the reciprocity, stability and standardization of cooperation, to create conditions and opportunities for energy cooperation among member states.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ACTIVITY OF COURTS WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF JURORS: ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE USA AND KAZAKHSTAN
Authors: Yeshnazarov Almaz Algazovich , Amurtayeva Dinara Talgatovna , Kuatova Alemgul Sovetovna
Published: April 2024

he authors, based on a comparative analysis of the criminal procedure laws of the USA and Kazakhstan, studied the issues of the activity of courts with the participation of jurors. The choice of the US experience in considering criminal cases by a jury was not accidental, since the USA is the state to use a jury trial and already has its own legal history that is different from the UK. In the course of the analysis, the authors revealed three aspects such as the selection of jurors, the number of jurors, and the voting procedure during sentencing. The selection of jurors under US law has its advantages in comparison with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of simplifying the selection and the right to refuse to participate as a juror. On the issue of the number of jurors, taking into account the US experience, we believe it is possible to reduce them from 12 to 9 and in some cases to 7 jurors. On the issue of majority voting or unanimous voting, based on the experience of the United States, we hold the opinion on the importance of voting by unanimous decision. Based on the positive experience of the USA, the authors proposed several amendments not only to the criminal procedure legislation of Kazakhstan but also to the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Thus, the authors believe it is necessary to expand the category of criminal cases considered by a court with the participation of jurors, to improve the selection procedure and voting procedure. As well as the possibility of consideration of civil cases by a court with the participation of jurors. We believe all these amendments will have a positive effect in protecting the constitutional rights of citizens and building a rule-of-law state.

The article examines the role of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, adopted on August 30, 1995 at the republican referendum. Taking into account current trends and challenges, it is pointed out the need for further development and strengthening of civil society institutions in the country, strengthening mutual control by the state and society over the processes taking place in the country. The Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the fundamental basis for the development of the country, establishing the principles of the rule of law and strengthening constitutional and national security. It has defined new vectors for the development of statehood, ensuring stability and guaranteeing the rights and freedoms of every citizen. The Constitution clearly stipulates that the Republic of Kazakhstan is a sovereign and independent State. This means that it has full power and control over its affairs, makes decisions freely, conducts foreign policy and develops independently. Kazakhstan is also recognized as democratic, which implies the participation of citizens in decision-making, protection and observance of the rights and freedoms of each individual. An important principle laid down in the Constitution is the welfare State. This means that Kazakhstan strives to ensure equality of opportunity, equitable distribution of resources and social protection for all its citizens. Taking care of the well-being and well-being of each individual becomes a priority task of public policy. The state policy of Kazakhstan is aimed at ensuring the stability and prosperity of society. Through legislation, social programs and regulation, the country strives to create a favorable environment for the development of its citizens, maintaining their dignity and improving their quality of life.

Published: April 2024

The experience of creating in Kazakhstan its own model of family courts is described and the results of the implementation of pilot projects of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the introduction of judicial, pre-trial, out-of-court procedures for the settlement of cases and disputes arising from family, marital, parental, housing, household legal relations are analyzed. The relevance of the topic is predetermined by the ongoing course of development of the judicial system and judicial proceedings of the Republic of Kazakhstan in accordance with the principle of specialization of courts and judges. This topic is actualized in the conditions of increasing the competitiveness of Kazakhstan and becoming its highly developed country. On the way to achieving such an ambitious goal, it is of fundamental importance to improve the social and demographic situation within the country, reduce the level of social tension and conflict among the population, strengthen family values among young people, establish gender equality, as well as create a friendly society for children. The implementation of these measures, on the one hand, contributes to the improvement of the level of legal culture of the population within the country, and on the other hand, contributes to the improvement of Kazakhstan's indicators outside the country, for example, in popular international rankings on the global competitiveness of the countries of the world, the rule of law index and the level of happiness. And today, in the conditions of building a New Fair Kazakhstan, judicial specialization within the courts of general jurisdiction as a judicial, judicial, judicial-status principle is particularly relevant in ensuring the rule of law and the rule of law based on it in various spheres of legal relations, including marriage, family and housing. The study revealed the particularly significant role and important place of specialized family courts in improving the social and demographic characteristics of the population. The scientific works of scientists and the regulatory legal framework for the organization and functioning of family courts, empirical data on their activities have been studied. At the end of the work, brief conclusions are given, arguing arguments about the relevance, viability, and justification of the family courts of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Published: April 2024

The purpose of the study was to analyze two forms of invoicing in the operations of public companies that were established by local self-government units in the Republic of Serbia. At the same time, to point out the importance of introducing electronic invoicing in regular business. The author's focus was on the comparison of classic and electronic invoicing with the aim of improving the future financial reporting of companies according to the administrative bodies of local self-government units. The analysis of this process was carried out through a threefold observation of the evaluation, namely: employees, top management of the company and management of the administrative bodies of local self-government units. Our contribution is reflected in the fact that we discovered that there are large differences in the level of significance of the t test, i.e. they are less than the threshold level of significance for all analyzed factors (p<0.0005*) in all 6 analyzed factors and in their total observation, between classical and electronic invoicing. Also, higher values were obtained when evaluating electronic invoicing compared to classical financial reporting of public companies, which indicates the importance of introducing the mentioned form of financial reporting.
Can Bank Density Provide Insights on the Appropriation of Disaster Relief Funds? Evidence from the Paycheck Protection Program
Authors: Landini Austin , Deming Kristopher , Weiler Stephan
Published: April 2024

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress in conjunction with the Small Business Administration (SBA) created the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to help small business owners retain employees. We improve on previous literature exploring the relationship between bank density and PPP loan dispersion by implementing precisely geocoded data to map loans to commuting zones. Revisiting results in Deming and Weiler (2023), we confirm the statistically significant relationship between bank density and PPP loans per small business. We consider three distinct periods of lending to analyze how changes in the PPP loan program rules might have impacted dispersion. The coefficient in the regression of loans per small business on bank density is largest in the final wave of lending, and in commuting zones with high loan densities. This suggests that having additional bank branches in the commuting zone may have helped facilitate rapid dispersion of relief funds to high demand areas during the program.

Early Blight and Late Blight Disease Detection in Potato Using Efficientnetb0
Authors: Upadhyay Santosh Kumar , Jain Jaishree , Prasad Rajesh
Published: April 2024

Potatoes are an important crop heavily consumed by Indian food products. It is produced on a massive scale, with China, India, Russia, Poland, and the USA being the main producers. Numerous leaf diseases harm the crop during its production. A typical Indian farmer lacks the tools necessary to detect Leaf Disease before damage is done. On a dataset of potato leaf images retrieved from Kaggle, we employed the EfficientNetB0 of Deep Learning to address this problem. This model uses width scaling and resolution scaling apart from depth scaling to perform the classification. Our work mainly focuses on the diseases Early Blight and Late Blight, two serious potato diseases. Early blight Spots start off as tiny, dry, dark, and papery specks that develop into brown to black, circular to oval-shaped regions. Veins that round the spots frequently give them an angular appearance. Late blight syntoms appear as small, light to dark green and round to irregularly shaped. Water-soaked patches are the first signs of late blight. The Data Collection has 2152 pictures in total, 2000 of which are diseased and 152 of which are healthy. The deep learning model provides a testing accuracy of 99.05%, which is higher than several widely used techniques available to provide farmers with knowledge about correct diseases well in time.
Radiative Transfer for Atmospheres with Clouds
Authors: Pironneau Olivier
Published: April 2024

To study the temperature in a gas subjected to electromagnetic radiations, one may use the Radiative Transfer equations coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations. The problem has 7 dimensions; however with minimal simplifications it is equivalent to a small number of integro-differential equations in 3 dimensions. A numerical implementation using an ℋ-matrix compression scheme allows us to measure the effect of clouds and airplane contrails on the temperature in the atmosphere. The result is very fast and the method is capable of handling variable absorption and scattering functions of spatial positions and frequencies.

High Level Overview of AI and ML in Science and Engineering
Authors: Brunton Steven L.
Published: April 2024

This video describes how to incorporate physics into the machine learning process. The process of machine learning is broken down into five stages: (1) formulating a problem to model, (2) collecting and curating training data to inform the model, (3) choosing an architecture with which to represent the model, (4) designing a loss function to assess the performance of the model, and (5) selecting and implementing an optimization algorithm to train the model. At each stage, we discuss how prior physical knowledge may be embedding into the process.

Physics informed machine learning is critical for many engineering applications, since many engineering systems are governed by physics and involve safety critical components. It also makes it possible to learn more from sparse and noisy data sets.
Lumbar Disc Replacement Versus Interbody Fusion: Meta-analysis of Complications and Clinical Outcomes
Authors: Daher Mohammad , Nassar Joseph , Balmaceno-Criss Mariah , Diebo Bassel G. , Daniels Alan H.
Published: April 2024

Background

Lumbar spinal fusion is a commonly performed operation with relatively high complication and revision surgery rates. Lumbar disc replacement is less commonly performed but may have some benefits over spinal fusion. This meta-analysis aims to compare the outcomes of lumbar disc replacement (LDR) versus interbody fusion (IBF), assessing their comparative safety and effectiveness in treating lumbar DDD.

Methods

PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (pages 1-2) were searched up until February 2024. The studied outcomes included operative room (OR) time, estimated blood loss (EBL), length of hospital stay (LOS), complications, reoperations, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), back pain, and leg pain.

Results

Ten studies were included in this meta-analysis, of which six were randomized controlled trials, three were retrospective studies, and one was a prospective study. A total of 1720 patients were included, with 1034 undergoing LDR and 686 undergoing IBF. No statistically significant differences were observed in OR time, EBL, or LOS between the LDR and IBF groups. The analysis also showed no significant differences in the rates of complications, reoperations, and leg pain between the two groups. However, the LDR group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in mean back pain (p=0.04) compared to the IBF group.

Conclusion

Both LDR and IBF procedures offer similar results in managing CLBP, considering OR time, EBL, LOS, complication rates, reoperations, and leg pain, with slight superiority of back pain improvement in LDR. This study supports the use of both procedures in managing degenerative spinal disease.

Published: April 2024

Background

Low back pain (LBP) is a common problem which can affect balance and, in turn, increase fall risk. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of a Sacroiliac Belt (SB) on balance and stability in patients with LBP.

Methods

Subjects with LBP and without LBP (“Asymptomatic”) were enrolled. Baseline balance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale. In a counterbalanced crossover design, LBP and Asymptomatic subjects were randomized to one of two groups: 1) start with wearing the SB (Serola Biomechanics, Inc.) followed by not wearing the SB or 2) start without wearing the SB followed by wearing the SB. For subjects in both groups, dynamic balance was then assessed using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) with each leg planted.

Results

Baseline balance was worse in LBP subjects (Berg 51/56) than Asymptomatic subjects (Berg 56/56) (p<0.01). SB significantly improved SEBT performance in LBP subjects regardless of which leg was planted (p<0.01). SB positively impacted Asymptomatic subjects’ SEBT performance with the left leg planted (p=0.0002).

Conclusion

The Serola Sacroiliac Belt positively impacted dynamic balance for subjects with low back pain. Further research is needed to examine additional interventions and outcomes related to balance in patients with back pain, and to elucidate the mechanisms behind improvements in balance related to sacroiliac belt utilization.

Published: April 2024

Objective: Musculoskeletal injuries have an essential place among the injuries of military personnel. Depending on the severity of these injuries and the degree of functional loss, return to work is delayed, and sequela leads to job loss and disability as well. This study has aimed to assess the distributions of current injuries and make recommendations to reduce these injuries and evaluate the conditions causing disability.
Material and Method: Upper limb injury distribution and disability status of injured contracted soldiers/NCOs, who applied to a tertiary trauma center between January 2019 and January 2020, were evaluated according to Turkish Armed Forces Health Ability Regulation No. 6405.
Results: The number of patients included in the study was 31. Their mean age was 21.45. A significant relationship was found when the relationship between injured areas and disability occurrence was evaluated (p=0.036). In this relationship, it was observed that the possibility of especially hand (excluding finger), forearm, and upper arm injuries to cause disability was high and that although the number of finger injuries was high, their possibility to cause disability was at 60%. There was no significant difference between combat and noncombat occupational accidents in terms of the injured areas (p=0.305).
Conclusion: Although injuries in military personnel require long rest periods and finger loss poses a major obstacle to serving, there are loss of rights due to the limited disability conditions and insufficient details of the regulations. It is recommended that military guidelines be made more functional, reviewed by a board that includes a hand surgeon, increased training, and the development of double-stage security systems and protective equipment

Application of Bayesian Networks and Reinforcement Learning in Intelligent Control Systems in Uncertain Environments
Authors: Liefeng Zhu Liefeng Zhu , Liefeng Zhu Yongbiao Luo
Published: April 2024

Reinforcement learning is a machine learning paradigm that focuses on how an agent can perform actions in an environment to achieve a certain goal. The agent learns through interaction with the environment, observing the state and making decisions to maximize its reward. Reinforcement learning has wide applications in intelligent control systems. However, one limitation of reinforcement learning is the uncertainty in handling the environment model. Usually, reinforcement learning is performed without a clear model, which requires estimating environmental uncertainty and state transitions. Bayesian Networks are effective in modeling uncertainty, which can aid in establishing a probabilistic model of environmental dynamics. This allows for the integration of uncertainty information into the environmental model, leading to a more accurate understanding of the dynamic characteristics of the environment. In this study, we propose a reinforcement learning algorithm based on Bayesian Networks. We utilize optimal generalized residual differentiation, parallel integration causal directional reasoning, and other modeling techniques to address reinforcement learning tasks. The main idea is to utilize the prior distribution to estimate the uncertainty of unknown parameters. Then, the obtained observation information is used to calculate the posterior distribution in order to acquire knowledge. Experiments demonstrate that this approach is feasible in intelligent control systems operating in uncertain environments.

 
LDBM-PFR: Local Directional Binary Pattern Mixed Filtering for 2D and 3D Palmprint Fusion Recognition
Authors: Sen Lin Sen Lin , Sen Lin Man Li , Man Li Meng-Zhao Liu , Meng-Zhao Liu Xiang-Ji Fan , Xiang-Ji Fan Peng Shang
Published: April 2024

Single-dimensional palmprint images are susceptible to interference from noise, lighting, and various factors, leading to information loss and subpar recognition performance. To address the problem, a fusion recognition scheme of 2D and 3D palmprints based on Hybrid Filter Local Orientation Binary Pattern (HFLOBP) is proposed. Firstly, the HFLOBP algorithm is employed to extract 2D features and 3D Shape Index (SI) features respectively to improve the recognition effect. Secondly, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is utilized to improve the recognition efficiency, to reduce the dimension of 2D features and 3D Surface Type (ST) features of palmprint, to improve the recognition efficiency. Finally, the multi-dimensional palmprint features are fused by Double Weight Threshold Algorithm (DWTA), and classified and recognized by Collaborative Representation (CR). Experimental results conducted on the 3D palmprint database of Hong Kong Polytechnic University reveal that, in comparison with alternative classification methods, the average recognition rate reaches 99.98%, with an average recognition time of 0.64 seconds. The proposed method not only demonstrates a commendable recognition effect but also meets the real-time requirements, underscoring its practical application value.

Published: April 2024

This study utilizes data obtained from vehicle positioning, speed, and engine status through satellite positioning system monitoring terminals. The data is processed using spherical interpolation of latitude and longitude to handle missing values. The study establishes indicators for identifying bad driving behaviors, including speeding, rapid acceleration and deceleration, prolonged vehicle idling, and fatigue driving. The traditional DBSCAN algorithm is improved by incorporating both temporal and spatial search ranges into the algorithm, enabling cluster analysis of bad driving behaviors from both temporal and geographical perspectives. Finally, the Graham algorithm is utilized to calculate cluster boundaries, determining the specific locations and boundaries of high incidence areas of bad driving behaviors. This research aids regulatory authorities in more precisely supervising risk areas during transportation processes in terms of time and location.

Published: April 2024

The interaction between humans and technologies has a long historical lineage. Presently, generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT are being employed for various purposes, especially in education and across diverse domains. These artificial intelligence tools carry significant potential to induce profound transformations in the overarching mission and vision of higher education institutions, thereby exerting a considerable influence on higher education institutions dedicated to training teaching professionals. In fact, tools influence and guide human activities through the genesis or development of “utilization schemes”. This study aims to explore mathematics teacher candidates' instrumentation process of ChatGPT for developing lesson plans with particular attention to the utilization purposes and utilization schemes. The research was designed as a case study conducted during the spring semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. The participants included ten mathematics teacher candidates. The study lasted for eight weeks. The data collection tools used in the study included journals filled out by the participants at least once a week when they interacted with artificial intelligence, screenshots of the conversations between the participants and ChatGPT, and the lesson plans prepared by the participants. The collected data was analyzed within the framework of the instrumental approach. The content analysis results revealed that during the lesson planning process, teacher candidates used ChatGPT in six different utilization types associated with six distinct utilization purposes.

Published: April 2024

El artículo da cuenta de los vínculos del estudiantado de Trabajo Social (TS) de la Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (UCV) con las clases populares de Valparaíso en el contexto del Movimiento de Reconceptualización latinoamericana. La premisa propone que en el período estudiado (1967-1973) tiene lugar un proceso de aproximación del estudiantado de Trabajo Social de la UCV con las clases populares, el cual se fue intensificando acorde al proceso de agudización de las contradicciones del contexto sociopolítico del país, afuera de la Universidad. El objetivo del artículo es caracterizar el vínculo del estudiantado de Trabajo Social de la UCV con las clases populares, para lo cual se consideraron dos tipos de fuentes: tesis de estudiantes y una entrevista con Vicente Faleiros, profesor de dicha Escuela en el período estudiado. Se identifican dos períodos (1967-1969 y 1970-1973) analizados a partir de 3 dimensiones que dan cuenta de los elementos que condicionan el vínculo, a saber: la conformación política del estudiantado, sus posturas teórico-metodológicas y los vínculos práctico-interventivos. Los resultados muestran que durante el primer período se observa a un estudiantado interesado en las respuestas a las problemáticas de las clases populares, motivando la búsqueda de nuevas referencias para comprender la realidad; importantes son las teorías desarrollistas y de la marginalidad, las que son coherentes con la tendencia observada hacia un rol más tutelar, orientado hacia una mayor participación e integración de las clases populares dentro de la sociedad. Durante el segundo período, se identifica un estudiantado politizado en términos más radicales y que desde la horizontalidad buscó desarrollar perspectivas de colaboración y co-construcción; teóricamente influenciado por el marxismo clásico y la teoría de la dependencia, el estudiantado orientó su reflexión y acción en función de los intereses de las clases populares, intensificando el vínculo respecto de la primera etapa. Finalmente, se identifican ciertos matices y contradicciones dentro de este proceso.

Authors: A. Rose Kemar , M. Scantlebury Collin , C. Williams Marsha , D. Francis Ryan
Published: April 2024

Objective: Despite its benefits, plant tissue culture tends to incur a high production cost hence the need for cost-reduction strategies, especially with regards to acclimatization. One such strategy is to use semi-autotrophic hydroponics (SAH). SAH is a novel, low-cost technology that has been designed for the high-ratio and rapid propagation of clonal or vegetatively propagated crops. Sweet yam is a major export commodity of Jamaica and there is need to produce disease-free plants that require less pampering during hardening. The aim of this study is to analyze SAH in tissue culture of Jamaican sweet yams. Methods: Rooted sweet yam (Dioscorea alata) in vitro cultures were transferred to a commercial sphagnum peat moss based potting substrate, with vermiculite and fine calcitic and dolomitic limestone and the SAH system was run in a growth chamber at a tissue culture facility. Six tissue culture yam plantlets were incubated in polypropylene vessels and placed on separate shelves with north facing rows and south facing rows. Samples were treated with commercial fertilizer and controls were treated with tap water. Results: Fertilized plants showed significantly higher mean number of nodes (8.0±2.2 and 7.5±1.8) compared to non-fertilized plants (4.0±0.9 and 5.0±2.1) and significantly higher maximum leaf area index (41.42±15.49cm2 and 35.58±16.93cm2) versus non-fertilized plants (19.17±6.42cm2 and 23.58±6.55cm2). Fertilizer significantly reduced the mean number of mini tubers per plant (0.67±0.52). Non-fertilized (control) produced 2.50±1.05 and 1.83±0.41 mini tubers per plant. The mean mini tuber yields per plant were significantly reduced from 1.05±0.26g and 1.00±0.83g in non-fertilized (controls) to 0.28±0.30g and 0.34±0.40g in fertilized treatments. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed three principal components accounting for 81.47% of the observed variance. PC1, 2 and 3 accounted for 39.28%, 30.49% and 11.64% of the variance respectively. PC1 described factors responsible for the vegetative growth, PC2 factors for mini tuberization and PC3 effects due to positioning of plants on shelves. Conclusion: SAH is a very flexible and adaptable technique which was found to be very useful in the acclimatization of tissue culture for Jamaican sweet yam plants. Commercial fertilizer application was found to be an efficient means of nutrient addition to promote vegetative growth. Fertilizer application significantly increased the number of nodes and maximum leaf area while it significantly reduced tuber quantity and yield. The ANOVA and PCA showed that fertilizer application was positively correlated to vegetative production factors while it was negatively correlated to mini tuber yield.

The contribution analyses the history of the phrases electronic dictionary and digital dictionary with the aim of identifying a shared specialised terminology. It also considers other naming proposals in their relation to the specific typologies, from the point of view of their genesis (first generation or primary if dictionaries are realised directly as computer tools, second generation or secondary if designed as paper-based tools and only subsequently computerised), their nature (first level if computerisation relates only to the text, second level if it also concerns the structure of the entry and thus transforms the dictionary into a real database), and the mode of consultation (introducing the concept of dynamic dictionary). Collaterally, the contribution outlines a history of computer lexicography, with more details on the first realisations.
