First of all, traditional dining manner and its standpoint on dining have them that just eating boiled rice is not only pursuing some psychological values and sharing emotions based on traditional courtesy(禮), but also a way of highlighting the dining manner that requires to consider ‘other’ thoughtfully.
Furthermore, the embodiment of boiled rice and extreme poverty has the expression of complaining to themselves and relating their thoughts, and the reflection on returning favors and being aware of revered figures.
Firstly, those poems, in terms of complaining to oneself and revealing oneself, surely exhibit Tak-mul-u-eui(託物寓意) and attribute their poverty to themselves, and verisimilarly express their own worn-out emotion by presenting their extreme poverty in tactile sensations and auditory sensations combined.
Secondly, the poems show they’d cite Hanshin’s poetry, as one of the revered figures, due to returning favor and being aware of the revered. And, those poems also deal with those figures respected by contemporaries based on the reflected recognition for the established. Among their names are a variety of ones, such as Jamun(子文), Baekgeo-i(白居易), Wang-kyo(王喬), Beomyem(范冉), Mang-sang(孟嘗), Yugoji((庾杲之), Wang-yu(王維), and they also exhibit their recognition for surmounting their poverty through those names.
Eating boiled rice is considered as an effort of ‘being together’ to start to open ‘Daedong World’ through traditional courtesy and ,therefore, it means not only pursuing psychological values, but also reflecting their own awareness of the hope of resembling the figures that they respected.

Background and Objectives: Body Dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by preoccupation with an imagined flaw in appearance or slight defect in one's body. It is a disabling obsessive- compulsive spectrum disorder often goes unrecognized in clinical practice and found to be associated with social anxiety, distress and suicidal tendency. The aim of this study was to screen public sector college students for body dysmorphic disorder using a validated dysmorphic concern questionnaire® through an online survey and describing family, peers and media influences in relation to its occurrence.
Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was undertaken in two public sector medical colleges (Lahore and Sialkot) and one public sector general education college (Sialkot) during November 2019 to June 2022. Overall, 378 students completed a validated 7-items Dysmorphic Concern Questionnaire (DCQ)® online. Participants provided responses on a 4-point scale. They also responded to questions regarding social pressures and media influencing the dysmorphic concern. A BDD score was computed as per method described by Mancuso et al. and participants with score more than 14 were labelled as having BDD. Association between family, peers and media influences with BDD score was analyzed using logistic regression technique in SPSS version 25.®
Results: Of 378 participants, 251 (66%) were medical students and 127 (34%) were general education students. About 1.3% medical students and 5.0 % non-medical students were classified having potential body dysmorphic disorder respectively. Adjusted odds ratio comparing medical and non-medical students for BDD is 4.4 (95% CI: 1.2-15.9; p=0.02) with higher odds of BDD observed for those aged 18-20 years (OR=3.3) and in females (OR=1.1, 95% CI=0.4-2.8; p=0.83).
Conclusion: BDD is comparatively frequent in non-medical female students aged 18-20 years. Family and peer pressure alongside the influences from social, print and electronic media had considerable effect on non- medical students comparatively and may contribute the occurrence of body dysmorphic disorder.

Abstract: Efforts to break the patriarchy must be done by breaking down the political system that works in it. The issue of politics and women in an effort to achieve women's identity as a political being, an identity that is naturally owned by women but is not owned or recognized by them. Political issues are not only about the right to vote or the existence of women in the legislature but also drag on the private space and identity of women and their citizenship status. One of the efforts to achieve women's political identity is to provide space for women's representation in parliament. The presence of women is expected to be able to bring the interests of women in the nation and state. Therefore, a proposal for the RUU KKG emerged which was considered a proposal that actually came from women and would later be used for the benefit of women. However, along the way, efforts to achieve identity through the RUU KKG have not been able to show results due to the weak representation of women in the DPR and the mechanism of political party representation.
Purpose: This article attempts to review efforts to form the RUU KKG.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This article uses qualitative research methods.
Findings: This article finds that the achievement of women's political identity cannot be achieved through struggles in parliament and will be more effective when giving more portions to extra-parliamentary institutions.
Originality/Value: The novelty of this article is the author's attempt to explain the process of forming the RUU KKG from the point of view of political identity.

STS CONSTANTINE CYRIL AND METHODIUS AS PATRONS OF THE KINGDOM OF POLAND
Authors: Kruk MiroslawKruk
Published: March 2023

In 1436 Zbigniew Oleśnicki (1423–1455), Bishop of Kraków, mentioned that Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius, were the patrons of the Polish kingdom. This event remains highly mysterious, as because the bishop was rather famous for his activities in the field of strengthening the role of the Roman Catholic Church, and nothing is known of his other manifestations of sympathy for the Orthodox Church, its patrons and saints. 108 Intriguing in this context are the plans for the introduction of ecclesiastical union which were supposedly presented by Gregory Tsamblak, an envoy of Władysław Jagiełło, King of Poland, at the Council of Constance in 1418, as well as a number of his foundations of orthodox frescoes in the Catholic churches of Lesser Poland. A separate issue is the memory of the “Solun Brothers” in nineteenth-century Krakow, evidenced by a painting by Jan Matejko in 1885 and his contribution to the painting decoration of the Greek Orthodox Church in the former Catholic Church of St. Norbert in Krakow.
PAIRS OF SYNONYMS AS VARIANTS IN THE TEXT FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS IN THE CROATIAN GLAGOLITIC BREVIARY
Authors: Stankovska Petra
Published: March 2023

The article analyzes lexical variants from the text of the book of Genesis in Croatian-Glagolitic breviaries of the northern and southern textological groups. Variants were divided into several groups according to their type and origin. In the group of variants at the places with the same semantics in the Greek and Latin texts, it is confirmed that in the breviaries of the northern group most (85%) lexemes are the same as in Old Church Slavonic paroimarion, while in the breviaries of the southern group it is only in 15% of cases. In the non-paroimarion texts, which were translated into Croatian-Glagolitic breviary from Latin, the breviaries of the northern group have lexemes well documented in the oldest Old Church Slavonic manuscripts, while in the southern group of breviaries the variant words are either little documented or not recorded in the so-called canonical Old Church Slavonic manuscripts.
THE HISTORY OF THE DUBROVNIK AND BRASOV TRADING ON BULGARIAN LANDS, ACCORDING TO THE CYRILLIC SOURCES (13TH–14TH C.)
Authors: Georgieva Teodora
Published: March 2023

From the end of 12th c. and the first half of 13th century, the Dubrovnik merchants steadily directed their economic interests to the inland of the Balkan Peninsula and purposefully developed overland trade. With the Dubrovnik charter (1230), the agricultural relations between the Bulgarian State and Ragusa were officially granted regulation. The relationship between Bulgarian and Dubrovnik had grown even in the 352 50s of the 13th century, under the reign of Michael II Asen. Trade-Economical and political contacts found their way into the newly written official document on the 15th of June 1253. This act established the release of paying kommerkion, which income to the fisc would be considered high. This way rights of the Bulgarian representatives were regulated, realizing trading on the land of Ragusa. Shown bilateral relations between Bulgaria and Dubrovnik reflect political and economic processes occurring in the Balkans during the first half of the 13th century. The amplified participation of foreign merchants, firstly the people from Dubrovnik then continued with people from Venice and Genoa, allowed the Bulgarian country to join in on the international trade. The said liveliness in the trade gave decent economic growth for the country and generated said financial resources. The relationship between the two countries continued for a hundred more years, especially with the Vidin kingdom of Joan Stratsimir. Vidin acted as a bridge linking Ragusa with Wallachia, which enabled them to participate in international trade. Mentioning the Vidin kingdom and the activity of the trading, this inevitably points to the Brasov charter, issued by Joan Stratsimir. This document represents a reporting message to the notables of Brasov city (Kronstadt), informing the citizens to roam and trade freely in the lands ruled by Joan Stratsimir. The review of these Cyrillic sources, like the Dobrovnik charter, the contract from 1253 and the document in favour of the citizens of Brasov, indicates that the Bulgarian lands actively participated in the trading. The more foreign representatives there were, it required regulations on the exchange. From the available documents, we know that legal relations were realized with the people from Dubrovnik, Venice and Genoa and citizens of Brasov. Considering the documents, they serve as facts of the entry of the exchange in the legal frameworks of the Bulgarian country, also the relations with foreign countries and the economic development during the 13th–14th c. period.

Published: March 2023

Speed is the main factor that is always considered when designing a ship. Also, a ship designer will try to make a good design regarding the ship's fuel efficiency and seakeeping performance. One example is the operation of passenger ships on the Ketapang - Gilimanuk crossing route in Bali, Indonesia. The Bali strait area has uncertainty waves and ocean currents; the determination of environmental characteristics is needed for an investigation. In this paper, a review is carried out on the primary parameters of ship hydrodynamics performance, i.e., hull changes to reduce ship resistance by modifying the bilge radius from angles of 10°, 15°, and 20°. This modification affects the geometric parameters. Two indicators are used to measure the effect of changes: resistance and seakeeping performance. Numerical methods were used to obtain the results, the calculation of the resistance was approached by the Holtrop process of investigation, and the NORDFORSK criteria validated the feasibility seakeeping assessment. The results of model Z show that when the deadrise angle is large, the ship reduces the resistance by approximately 8.2% at a service speed of 12 knots. Therefore, modification of the hull by raising the radius of the bilge results in a reduction in resistance, which affects the ship's rolling, but with an increase in speed, it can reduce the heave and pitch significantly with the resulting hull with good performance obtained.

Mediation and the PandeTheatre:
Authors: Khattab Mona , Elmeligi Wessam
Published: March 2023

One of the negative impacts of the pandemic on creative culture is new limitations imposed on interactive performance in theatrical production. Producers resorted to digitality to explore the potentials of smart staging. A new play titled Brilliant Mind is a case in point for its innovative use of digital alternatives to maintain interactive performativity in what the producers describe as “live theatre in digital landscapes”. The play was digitally performed online in 2021, and members of the audience were allowed to digitally explore parts of the set and interact with characters. This paper examines the play’s use of digital performativity as a form of mediation for pandemic-era theatre by unpacking its digital interactive strategies. The authors offer a close textual and visual analysis of their experience as audience members in addition to employing theatrical principles of psychodrama, as well as concepts of affect theory as an approach to visual communication.

It is evident that many macroeconomic aspects such as inflation, unemployment, economic growth, etc. impact the sustainability of quality of life. The aim of the study is to analyse the evolution of the concept of sustainable quality of life and to define the primary macroeconomic factors that affect the sustainable quality of life. The study was conducted as a qualitative content analysis of research articles, grounding the research questions of (a) what is sustainability, (b) what is quality of life, (c) what is the sustainable quality of life, and (d) how to achieve a sustainable quality of life. Categories were developed for each research question and the frequency of usage of the category was used to answer each question. It is observed that many types of research have been carried out to study sustainability, quality of life, sustainable quality of life, different indicators of sustainability, indicators of quality of life, and measurement of quality of life with different approaches. Innovation, research, creativity health, education and training, social relations, safety, environment, and quality of services contribute vastly to the achievement of sustainable quality of life. Further, it is observed that there are only a few research articles that have focused on how to achieve a sustainable quality of life and it is a broad concept that requires more attention and in-depth study.

A Methodological Framework for Co-Creation of Government-Research-Industry Innovation
Authors: Suija-Markova Inese
Published: March 2023

Government, industry, and research collaboration is important. Governments are developing instruments for stimulating innovation within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Researchers are expected to focus on solving economic, environmental, and social problems. Enterprises need new solutions to survive in global markets. Traditionally, co-creation is a tool for collaborating between researchers and industry during the innovation development process. In this study, a methodological framework for government-research-industry co-creation in the pre-competitive innovation phase was developed and tested. It was piloted with a group of six researchers and nine enterprises from Latvia co-creating solutions for sustainable food packaging. The experiment was a targeted intervention by a public administration body to facilitate industry-research collaboration, thus strengthening SMEs competitiveness. The study demonstrated that the developed methodological framework is a useful tool for professionals involved in the day-to-day facilitation of collaboration between researchers and businesses, such as business support and development professionals and innovation project managers. It is appropriate for laying the groundwork for more in-depth industrial research or experimental development between researchers and businesses. Professional moderation is critical in the co-creation process, and it is more enriching if the pool of participating enterprises consists of SMEs and larger enterprises covering the value chain of the explored topic. The bridging co-creation phase is appropriate for an online environment, whereas the experimental co-creation phase would benefit more from taking place in a physical setting. To achieve better results, it is important to choose narrower and more clearly defined problems. The co-creation process aids in the development of collaborative communication skills, the generation of ideas in a diverse group, and overall digital literacy.

Aggregates of the tau protein are a well-known hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, collectively referred to as tauopathies, including frontal temporal dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Monitoring the transformation process of tau from physiological monomers into pathological oligomers or aggregates in a high-throughput, quantitative manner and in a cellular context is still a major challenge in the field. Identifying molecules able to interfere with those processes is of high therapeutic interest. Here, we developed a series of inter- and intramolecular tau biosensors based on the highly sensitive Nanoluciferase (Nluc) binary technology (NanoBiT) able to monitor the pathological conformational change and self-interaction of tau in living cells. Our repertoire of tau biosensors reliably reports i. molecular proximity of physiological full-length tau at microtubules; ii. changes in tau conformation and self-interaction associated with tau phosphorylation, as well as iii. tau interaction induced by seeds of recombinant tau or from mouse brain lysates of a mouse model of tau pathology. By comparing biosensors comprising different tau forms (i.e. full-length or short fragments, wild-type, or the disease-associated tau(P301L) variant) further insights into the tau transformation process are obtained. Proof-of-concept data for the high-throughput suitability and identification of molecules interfering with the pathological tau transformation processes are presented. This novel repertoire of tau biosensors is aimed to boost the disclosure of molecular mechanisms underlying pathological tau transformation in living cells and to discover new drug candidates for tau-related neurodegenerative diseases.
The role of aesthetics in design education
Authors: Heimer Astrid Maria
Published: March 2023

Design education has undergone transformations over time, although less emphasis has been placed on developing core areas such as form and aesthetics. Learning processes in design education are creative and comprehensive, but to an extent, learning has become a mission with a large focus on relevance and societal benefits. The designer’s role has become somewhat more instrumental, and designers’ function more often as facilitators than creators. Nevertheless, form and aesthetics are important competences that enable students to work creatively with both processes and results. As creators, design students need to develop their personal comprehension of forms and aesthetic expressions. This article demonstrates how aesthetics are activated through assignments and exercises that leverage awareness and experiences of concrete forms and abstractions. The assignments and exercises were given to bachelor’s degree and master’s degree students in Product Design at Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway, and to students from all levels (bachelor’s, master’s and PhD) at UNESP, Bauru in Brazil. Aesthetic awareness relates to perception and abstract form principles demonstrated through assignments and exercises, including various dramaturgies, results, and reflections. Examples demonstrate how haptic experiences change the way students perceive forms and spaces, particularly when the visual senses are muted or removed. Based on the students’ reflections and the results of the exercises, knowledge achieved through their explorations is equally valuable beyond the actual properties of forms and the engagement of personal affect from the creative processes.Keywords: aesthetic awareness, abstraction, comprehension of form, creativity, design education
Design of news recommendation model based on sub-attention news encoder
Authors: Zhang Wenting
Published: March 2023

To extract finer-grained segment features from news and represent users accurately and exhaustively, this article develops a news recommendation (NR) model based on a sub-attention news encoder. First, by using convolutional neural network (CNN) and sub-attention mechanism, this model extracts a rich feature matrix from the news text. Then, from the perspective of image position and channel, the granular image data is retrieved. Next, the user’s news browsing history is injected with a multi-head self-attention mechanism, and time series prediction is applied to the user’s interests. Finally, the experimental results show that the proposed model performs well on the indicators: mean reciprocal rank (MRR), Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) and area under the curve (AUC), with an average increase of 4.18%, 5.63% and 6.55%, respectively. The comparative results demonstrate that the model performs best on a variety of datasets and has fastest convergence speed in all cases. The proposed model may provide guidance for the design of the news recommendation system in the future.
Real-time pneumonia prediction using pipelined spark and high-performance computing
Authors: Ravikumar Aswathy , Sriraman Harini
Published: March 2023

Background

Pneumonia is a respiratory disease caused by bacteria; it affects many people, particularly in impoverished countries where pollution, unclean living standards, overpopulation, and insufficient medical infrastructures are prevalent. To guarantee curative therapy and boost survival chances, it is vital to detect pneumonia soon enough. Imaging using chest X-rays is the most common way of detecting pneumonia. However, analyzing chest X-rays is a complex process vulnerable to subjective variation. Moreover, the data available is growing exponentially, and it will take hours and days to train the model to predict pneumonia. Timely prediction is significant to guarantee a better cure and treatment. Existing work provided by different authors needs more precision, and the computation time for predicting pneumonia is also much longer. Therefore, there is a requirement for early forecasting. Using X-ray picture samples, the system must have a continuous and unsupervised learning system for early diagnosis.

Methods

In this article, the training time of the model is accelerated using the distributed data-parallel approach and the computational power of high-performance computing devices. This research aims to diagnose pneumonia using X-ray pictures with more precision, greater speed, and fewer processing resources. Distributed deep learning techniques are gaining popularity owing to the rising need for computational resources for deep learning models with several parameters. In contrast to conventional training methods, data-parallel training enables several compute nodes to train massive deep-learning models to improve training efficiency concurrently. Deploying the model in Spark solves the scalability and acceleration. Spark’s distributed processing capability reads data from multiple nodes, and the results demonstrate that training time can be drastically reduced by utilizing these techniques, which is a significant necessity when dealing with large datasets.

Results

The proposed model makes the prediction 1.5 times faster than the traditional CNN model used for pneumonia prediction. The model also achieved an accuracy of 98.72%. The speed-up varying from 1.2 to 1.5 was obtained in the synchronous and asynchronous parallel model. The speed-up is reduced in the parallel asynchronous model due to the presence of straggler nodes.
