Non-Intrusive Continuous Monitoring of Smart City Platforms
Authors: Lopes João Victor , Cavalcante Everton , Batista Thais , Solino André , Pereira Jorge , Rocha Neto Aluizio
Published: December 2023

Smart city platforms provide several services to facilitate the development of applications. Such platforms typically manage several applications, deal with a large volume of data, and serve many devices and users that generate a high volume of requests. The large number of requests to handle and the complex operations to perform often cause overloads on the platform, degrading the quality of service provided to users and applications. In this context, monitoring the underlying computational infrastructure in which smart city platforms and applications are deployed and the platform operations is essential. The monitoring process can allow for examining fluctuations in the behavior of the platform's components to detect performance degradation and overloads (including unforeseen ones), contribute to avoiding interruptions in the platform's services, and increase its scalability to assimilate significant amounts of requests, devices, and users. This paper presents a strategy and architecture to enable the non-intrusive monitoring of operations on smart city platforms and their underlying infrastructure. The proposal covers monitoring at multiple levels and is based on the aspect-oriented programming (AOP) paradigm so that it is possible to monitor the platform's operations without intervening in the platform's implementation or generating coupling regarding monitoring. This paper presents the implementation of the monitoring architecture and its instantiation in the context of Smart Geo Layers (SGeoL), a platform that has been used in several real-world smart city applications. This paper also reports the results of computational experiments to evaluate the performance of the proposed monitoring architecture for response time to requests, CPU usage, and RAM utilization. The obtained results show an evident increase in response time with the number of simultaneous requests and a significant correlation between the response time and the CPU utilization in the deployment of the monitoring architecture.
Magisches Musandam
Authors: Zimmermann Wolfgang , Goldfuß Gabriele
Published: December 2023

Musandam is a jewel among the landscapes of Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman. Its unique location is as a peninsula on the Strait of Hormuz. In the 1970s, a young scientist went to this remote mountainous region to study the life of the local population in detail for the first time. He not only discovers fascinating landscapes characterised by a sea rich in fish, deeply cut fjords, vast date gardens in the oases and a network of grain terraces amidst rugged, jagged mountains. He also encounters a fascinating culture marked by ancient traditions and the beginnings of change under the influence of the oil boom. The research of those days is the basis of this book, underpinned by previously unpublished original photographs, maps and drawings, which give an authentic insight into the life, places, culture, trade and mobility of Musandam's partly nomadic population. They bring back to life a magical world that has disappeared in this original form today. At the end, the book gives a brief overview of today's Musandam, which has developed into a dynamic exclave of Oman, only two hours away from the economic metropolis of Dubai.
Phänomenologie des Schweigens
Authors: Schreiber Anna
Published: December 2023

In our Western culture, we are almost constantly in communication. The permanent flood of sound in both public and private spaces testifies to our reluctance to embrace silence and what it expresses. The pause that structures the flow of speech is something different from the eloquent or the tactful silence that preserves respect for the interlocutor; silent awareness in meditation is something different from silencing a traumatised person. In this book, the entire range of cultural and social manifestations of silence is explored in terms of its aesthesiological, ethical, emotional, psychological and epistemological dimensions.
Transnationalismus
Authors: Nowicka Magdalena
Published: December 2023

Transnational practices and structures are ubiquitous and well documented. Yet there is no unified theory of transnationalism. This second revised and updated edition proposes to view transnationalism as an outcome of cross-border processes. Transnationalism does not resemble a structure, but refers to what happens within structures and focuses on its consequences. The book argues why it is insufficient to project models hitherto conceived in terms of nation-states onto a broader and territorially conceived scale, as is common in research on forms of cross-border connectivity. Transnationalism as a paradigm is interested in reconfigurations of power and arrangements of local cultures that produce new meanings due to the porosity of nation-states and global connectivity. The transnational paradigm helps to understand the clash of multiple affiliations, practices, and dispositions.

Nachdenken über das Böse
Authors: Frericks Hanns
Published: December 2023

Evil is centrally linked to being human - and has been a recurring theme since time immemorial: in myth, in fairy tales, in philosophy from the very beginning, here always seen and interpreted differently. Evil is the critical reproach to every optimistic image of man, at the same time the deep-seated thorn in the beautiful skin. This text sketches an overall picture of the phenomenon from its intellectual-historical beginnings to the present day; the focus is on various philosophical positions. A leading aspect is the confrontation with the human sciences: in their various attempts to explain the phenomenon, they run the risk of trivialising it, suppressing it, even falsifying it.

Published: December 2023

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have garnered significant attention in modern medicine as a potentially effective therapeutic intervention, owing to their distinctive characteristics, including the ability to self-renew, exhibit multipotency, elicit immunomodulatory effects, and promote tissue repair. MSCs are being studied extensively for their potential use in a wide range of clinical applications, including regenerative medicine, immunotherapy, and tissue engineering. In this chapter, we provide a comprehensive overview of the biology, potential, and function of MSCs, highlighting their role in modulating the immune system, promoting tissue repair, and restoring homeostasis in various disease conditions. We also discuss the challenges and limitations associated with MSC-based therapies, including issues related to their isolation, expansion, and delivery. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying MSCs’ therapeutic effects and to optimize their clinical application. Nevertheless, MSCs hold great promise as game-changers in modern medicine, and their potential to revolutionize the field of regenerative medicine and immunotherapy cannot be overlooked.

Authors: Liu Yingying , Zhang Yuanzhi
Published: December 2023

The coastal zone is the most frequent and active area where nature and human society interact with each other on the Earth. However, the coastal zone is also an area with fragile environment and frequent disasters. Coupled with the high-intensity human activities, disaster prevention and environmental protection in the coastal zone have become eternal topics. At the same time, the trend of sea level rise and climate change is currently difficult to curb, and its impact on coastal areas cannot be ignored, and a scientific assessment of the vulnerability of coastal zones caused by them is required. Based on multi-source data, this paper constructs a coastal zone vulnerability evaluation system from two sources of ecological vulnerability, sea level rise and climate change, and reveals the impact of sea level rise and climate change on coastal zone ecosystems, providing technical support for the sustainable development of coastal cities. From the results, it can be seen that the mildly vulnerable area and slightly vulnerable area in the Jiangsu coastal zone are relatively large, accounting for 34.06 and 30.43% of the total area of the evaluation area, followed by moderately vulnerable area and highly vulnerable area accounting for 21.11 and 11.17%, respectively, and the extremely vulnerable area is the smallest, accounting for only 3.23% of the total area.

Authors: Shafiei Nafiseh , Mahmoodzadeh Hosseini Hamideh , Amani Jafar , Mirhosseini Ali , Jafary Hanieh
Published: December 2023

Background: Epsilon toxin (ETX), produced by Clostridium perfringens, is one of the most ‎potent toxins ‎known, with a lethal potency approaching that of botulinum neurotoxins. Epsilon toxin ‎is responsible ‎for enteritis. Therefore, the development of rapid and simple methods to ‎detect ETX ‎is imperative. Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that can bind ‎tightly to specific ‎target molecules with an affinity comparable to that of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). ‎DNA aptamers ‎can serve as tools for the molecular identification of organisms, such as ‎pathogen subspecies.‎ Objectives: This study aimed to isolate high-affinity single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) ‎aptamers against ETX.‎ Methods: This study identified aptamers using the Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) method, enzyme-linked apta-sorbent assay (ELASA), and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to determine ‎the affinity and ‎specificity of the newly obtained aptamers targeting ETX. ‎ Results: Several aptamers obtained through the ‎SELEX process were studied. Among them, 2 aptamers, ETX clone 3 (ETX3; dissociation constant [Kd] = 8.4 ± 2.4E-9M) ‎and ETX11 (Kd = 6.3 ± 1.3E-9M) had favorable specificity for ETX. The limits of detection ‎were 0.21 and 0.08 μg/mL for ETX3 and ETX11, respectively.‎ Conclusions: The discovered aptamers can be used in various aptamer-based rapid diagnostic tests for the detection of ETX.

Sex Differential Regarding the Ethical Dilemma to Start a Career or a Family
Authors: Cioffi Alfred ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: December 2023

Embarking from childhood into adulthood presents all human beings with the dilemma of discerning where their future will take them. In the Catholic faith, human beings are called to either Holy Matrimony and family life or a vocation which leads them to celibacy, such as choosing the priesthood or religious life. This decision is more complicated for women in part because the reality of human reproduction dictates that their prime reproductive years are limited. In this article, the author argues in favor of young women called to Holy Matrimony and family life pursuing that call first and choosing a profession later in life.
PLATANUS L. GENUS IN TRANSCARPATHIA
Authors: Bilanych Mykhailo
Published: December 2023

Brief overview is provided below concerning the distribution of various sycamore species within the region of Transcarpathia, along with the coexistence of other Platanus L. species and interspecific hybrids within this geographic area.
The purpose of the article is to study the species composition and distribution of species of the Platanus genus in Transcarpathia and the historical aspect of introduction, prospects for use in the landscaping of cities and villages of the Transcarpathian region.
Methodology. In the course of the study, the following methods were used: 1) a comparative-descriptive method of determining tree species; 2) a comparative genetic research method for the oldest tree of this genus in Transcarpathia – the «Drugeth sycamore».
The research topic involving the introduction of plane trees as exotic species holds undeniable significance. This importance stems from the intensive urbanization, the consistent rise in anthropogenic pressure on the biosphere, and the increasing levels of air pollution. These factors collectively contribute to the growing complexity of the ecological landscape, thereby emphasizing the pressing need for environmental conservation and protection.
Scientific novelty. Historically, plane trees were introduced in almost all cities of the Transcarpathian region. Until now, these trees are actively used to plant greenery in parks, squares and roadsides. A detailed dendrological study of certain species of exotics complements the floristic analysis of landscaping in the cities of Transcarpathia, which is currently carried out by scientists and special expert groups.
Conclusions. It’s clear that the study of the genus Platanus in the Transcarpathian region is essential for understanding the species composition and distribution of these trees in the area. It's especially important to clarify the classification of sycamores to distinguish between different species and hybrids accurately. The identification of the «Drugeth sycamore» as Platanus acerifolia (Aiton) Willd. is a valuable contribution to understanding the local flora.
The conservation status of the «Drugeth sycamore» highlights its significance and the need for protective measures. Installing a fence around the tree and providing an informational and protective board are excellent suggestions to preserve and protect this ancient giant from potential harm. These measures would not only ensure its longevity but also educate the public about the importance of conserving such unique and historically significant trees. Further research and documentation of the genus Platanus in Transcarpathia will help in better managing and preserving these trees and enriching the local biodiversity. It’s encouraging to see efforts aimed at understanding and protecting the natural heritage of the region.

Simulation study of bio-inspired leaf flow field designs for direct methanol fuel cell
Authors: Yağız Mikail , Çelik Selahattin , Kılıç Ahmed Emin
Published: December 2023

The flow field design in the bipolar plate, which is a DMFC structure, is extremely important in the mass transfer in the fuel cell and the electrochemical reactions occurring in the cell. One of the main purposes of DMFC is to improve the flow plate in order to provide less pressure drop in all channels. Therefore, different leaf types have been investigated to improve the flow distribution performance of DMFC. Populus, Large-surface Bamboo, Palm, Philodendron, Lotus, Mulberry, Loquat and Fig leaves with similar properties were sized using the COMSOL Multiphysics program and designed by examining their environmental and physical properties. Flow and pressure distributions in accordance with the flow field design similar to leaf dimensions in two dimensions were investigated. The biological and physical properties of each bio-inspired leaf design are described and its compliance with the DMFC is explained. Finally, flow images are presented with a comparison of flow areas. When these studies in the literature are examined; while applying the bio-inspired approach, it was seen that the shape similarity approach was adopted. However, by specifying the leaf, the flow field was not created exactly in the size of the leaf. Although there is a research on the flow design in the PEM fuel cell, it has not been used at the same rate for the DMFC. Considering that it is suitable for the DMFC system with the flow channel designs in the bipolar plate in question, it is expected that the performances that will increase the flow transmission to optimum levels will also increase when used.

Hydrogen is the strongest candidate to become the future fuel of the world to meet net-zero targets while it cannot be found in nature in pure form and the most major occurrence is in water or carbon-based forms. Therefore, external energy is needed to retrieve hydrogen in pure form where natural gas reforming is the most common method for over 90% of hydrogen production worldwide with carbon footprint followed by water electrolysis which is environmentally friendly. As clean methods PEM and AEL electrolysis are mature technologies while AEM takes increased attention with its unique dry cathode technology. This study examines how a nature-influenced (Bioinspired) and a serpentine flow channel design affects PEM electrolyzer and AEM electrolyzer cell functionality. The performance of the electrolyzers is assessed in terms of experimental polarization curves. It was decided to utilize Sustainion® XA-9 Alkaline Ionomer Powder as the ionomer solution and Fumasep FAS-50 as the membrane. The laminar flow analysis is performed using COMSOL Multiphysics. The efficiency of the PEM electrolyzer is 71% with the serpentine flow, while the efficiency is 73% with the biomimetic flow. The efficiency of the AEM water electrolyser is 25% using the same design. The low performance in AEM was interpreted as the inability to distribute the catalyst homogeneously on the membrane surface.

The target of the present research is to examine the performance and emissions of waste tyre pyrolysis oil (WTPO) added into diesel fuel (DF) at different percentages in a compression-ignition (CI) engine. In the engine, tests were undertaken at four ranging loads (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) at 1500 rpm. The lower viscosity and energy content of WTPO compared to DF affected performance and emissions. Adding WTPO to DF increased fuel consumption, CO2, HC, and CO emissions, while reducing exhaust gas temperature (EGT). At the same load, HC emission increased by 13.3% as the fraction of WTPO in the blend ascended. While the EGT value of DF was 261oC at 25% load, this temperature dropped to 251oC for P40 fuel. When the load was 25%, the amount of CO2 emission ascended between DF and P40 fuel was 38.67%, while this increment reached 59.5% at the highest load. In the study, monthly CO2 emissions of fuel blends were calculated. In line with these calculations, it has been deemed environmentally appropriate to use end-of-life (EOL) tyres as fuel instead of scrapping them.

Pakistan has received one of the biggest foreign investments in its history, however it failed many times in managing and resolving disputes domestically related to foreign investment, as in Saindak case. There is a need of Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) of these projects and to make indigenous people informed about the pros and cons and benefits of the projects operating in their region. This research examines Foreign Direct Investment in Balochistan by conducting Cost Benefit Analysis of Saindak project under different government regimes. A qualitative and exploratory research has been conducted. The study uses secondary data of Saindak project from period 2001-2022. Content analysis technique is used to analyze variations in outcome, success, costs and benefits of Saindak Project across different time periods. The research concludes that Saindak Project has failed to fulfill CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities and the resources had been exploited many times. The government must engage in negotiations with the rebel groups, free political detainees, and uphold the rights to freedom of speech guaranteed by the constitution. The only way out of internal quagmires and unrests is to give more voice to the indigenous people and the Federal and provincial governments should accept the idea of true democracy.

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in the female population. Early detection of breast cancer is crucial for reducing mortality from the disease. Late detection of breast cancer may have an unfavorable prognosis. Study Objective – To evaluate the awareness of the female population of the Gomel region concerning prevention and early diagnostics of breast cancer. The participants were 317 women, all of them were of full age, gave their consent to participate in the present study, and filled in a specially designed questionnaire.

Absolute majority of respondents know that effectiveness of treatment of breast cancer depends on the stage of its detection, almost all respondents know who the doctor-mammologistis. According to respondents the main reasons of breast cancer development are genetic predisposition, bad ecology, breast trauma and smoking. Only 24,29% of respondents pointed out the correct frequency of mammography examinations at the age of over 50 years – once in 2 years. The fact that 77,6% of the respondents, in one form or another, received information about cancer prevention in the outpatient clinic seems extremely favorable. More than a half of the respondents are not aware of the breast cancer screening program in the Republic of Belarus. The absolute majority of the respondents would prefer to get information about prevention of malignant neoplasms from their doctor, mass media and the Internet.

According to the data of the study, the majority of respondents have basic information about breast cancer and risk factors for its development. All participants also received information about mammography and its benefits in early detection of cancer. However, the level of public awareness is insufficient on a number of questions concerning the timing and frequency of examinations, screening, and early detection of cancer.

The effect of repeated low dose irradiation of the thoracic region of laboratory mice of the C57Bl/6 line on the general condition of laboratory animals and the condition of their lungs was studied. It has been shown that repeated local irradiation of the thoracic region of mice at a dose of 150 mGy (the total radiation dose was 1050 mGy) does not cause significant changes in the general condition of the animals, morphofunctional changes in the lungs of mice, but at the same time the level of apoptotic cells in the mixed population of lung cells increases to an aver -age of 6,7%, and also increases the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1 and TNFα in lung tissue homogenates, compared to the control, which indicates activation of innate immunity in irradiated tissue in response to repeated low-dose irradiation.

In this study, we evaluated the proliferative capacity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the bone marrow of patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) and selected the optimal conditions for obtaining autologous MSCs transplant. The results of the expansion of MSCs from 42 patients with DR-TB in medium with 10% FBS demonstrated low proliferative potential for of these cells compared with MSCs from 47 donors. MSCs content in 1 ml of bone marrow of patients was also lower. A relationship was found between the amount of MSCs in the primary culture and in the finished product, and with a small number of cells in the primary culture, we used 5% platelet lysate instead of 10% FTS, which made it possible to obtain a high dose of MSCs in the transplant.
