МОВНІ ЗАСОБИ ЕКСПРЕСИВНОСТІ В ЛІРИЦІ ФЕДОРА ПОТУШНЯКА
Authors: Барчан Валентина
Published: June 2024

У статті на матеріалі поетичних текстів збірки «Сонцедзвін» закарпатоукраїнського письменника першої половини ХХ століття Федора Потушняка, який уводив своєю творчістю закарпатське письменство в загальноукраїнський контекст, проаналізовано окремі аспекти поетики, що увиразнює індивідуальний стиль митця, а саме – особливості мовних засобів експресивності. Зокрема охарактеризовано їх лінгвістичний аспект та функційне навантаження в художньому тексті. Аналіз поетичних текстів Федора Потушняка показав, що основними мовними засобами експресивності, домінувальними в його мовотворчості, є тропи, зокрема метафори, епітети й порівняння. Саме вони формують вторинну семантику художньої картини тексту, а також служать базою для утворення нових додаткових смислів, які не властиві мовним одиницям поза художнім текстом, що тим самим і відображає індивідуально-авторську манеру та своєрідність світобачення письменника. З’ясовано, що потужним засобом вторинної номінації, як одного з мовних засобів експресивності, є метафора, яку Федір Потушняк використовує задля увиразнення мовотворчості поетичних текстів, надання їм неповторного колориту, а також за допомогою яскравого образу передає динаміку душі ліричного героя в момент сприйняття реального й трансцедентного світу. Спостережено, що особливе місце в художніх творах Ф. Потушняка посідають епітети й порівняння як одні з важливих мовних засобів експресивності, що мають потужний стилістичний потенціал. Відзначено, що автор активно використовує епітети-прикметники й епітети-прислівники, які через семантичну двоплановість збуджують мисленнєву діяльність читача та мають як позитивне емоційно-оцінне так і негативне забарвлення. Наголошено також на тому, що саме задля розкриття символіки художнього тексту та підвищення його естетики Ф. Потушняк використовує такий мовний засіб експресивності, як порівняння, здатне увиразнювати художнє мовлення письменника через поєднання протилежностей. Доведено, що експресивність через використання таких засобів мовної виразності, як тропи має властивість передавати значення зі збільшеною інтенсивністю, завдяки використанню лексичних і синтаксичних засобів (образних загальномовних метафор, зокрема простих дієслівних та простих іменникових метафор), зображувальних та описових епітетів, образних та пояснювальних порівнянь). Для ілюстрації поданого матеріалу наведено низку емпіричного матеріалу.
ПЕРШІ ПРОМОВИ В. ЗЕЛЕНСЬКОГО ДО СВІТОВИХ ЛІДЕРІВ. УКРАЇНСЬКИЙ ЧЕРЧІЛЬ
Authors: Мицан Дарія
Published: June 2024

У статті розглянуто перші публічні промови Президента України Володимира Зеленського. Аналізуються виступи з перших двох місяців українсько-російської війни. Такі промови є двох типів – звернення до громадян України і до лідерів та мешканців інших країн. Ця розвідка є присвячена промовам другого типу. Тексти усіх промов аналізується з точки зору воєнної пропаганди. Аналізуючи виступи Президента України ключовими є поняття пропаганда і маніпуляція, які притаманні політичним зверненням. Часто ці два слова неправильно вживаються як синоніми. Метою пропаганди завжди є результат якоїсь дії, поведінки: боротьба за владу або віру, підтримка партії або уряду загалом. Натомість маніпуляція – це викривлення інформації, подача неправдивої картини світу в уявленнях людей, створення «штучних потреб» (які насправді нам є непотрібні, але маніпулятор стверджує, що це «щось» є для нас необхідне). Діяльність такого типу застосовується для того, щоб змусити діяти у потрібному для маніпулятора напрямку. Маніпулятор добре знає потреби і слабкі сторони, страхи і комплекси, він розуміє у який спосіб сказати або подати інформацію, щоб спровокувати дію. Він також вибере відповідні обставини і місце, щоб це було найбільш ефективно.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ВИРАЖЕННЯ ПОРІВНЯННЯ В НІМЕЦЬКИХ ФРАЗЕОЛОГІЗМАХ
Authors: Овсієнко Леся , Ганєчко Вероніка
Published: June 2024

У статті розглянуто особливості вираження порівняння у структурі німецьких фразеологізмів. У процесі проведення дослідження було встановлено, що фразеологічні одиниці характеризуються великою семантичною, структурною і функціональною різноманітністю. Дослідження компонента порівняння у структурі оцінних фразеологізмів та особливостей оцінки в цілому проводяться в лінгвістиці переважно на лексичному рівні. Тому дослідження оцінки на рівні фразеології є особливо актуальними. Складність лінгвістичної природи порівнянь зумовила появу різних, часто суперечливих думок щодо її структури. Актуальним для сьогодення є питання стосовно визначення лінгвістичного статусу категорії порівняння, з’ясування його синтаксичної природи в узвичаєних традицією граматичних поняттях і термінах. За допомогою мови людина не тільки виражає думки, але також передає свої почуття і волю. Тому, крім основного, предметно-логічного значення, слово може мати також і додаткове емоційне значення. При цьому варто зазначити, що емоційне значення тісно пов’язане з суб’єктно-оцінною характеристикою слова.
МОНОХРОМНИЙ ОБРАЗ «CALME BLANC» У КОЛОРИСТИЧНІЙ ПАЛІТРІ РОМАНУ П'ЄРА ЛОТІ «PÊCHEUR D’ISLANDE»
Authors: Яцків Наталія , Скарбек Ольга
Published: June 2024

У статті проаналізовано колористичну палітру роману французького письменника П. Лоті. Визначено домінантну роль монохромних кольорів, від білого до чорного, що дає підстави говорити про монохромний образ. Оскільки автор прагне охопити й представити морські краєвиди, які не мають чіткої конфігурації, то центральним образом художнього простору виступає «calme blanc». Монохромна гама сірого кольору, у відтінках від білого до чорного, домінує у зображенні двох складових морських просторів, це – море і небо. Зміна відтінків монохромних кольорів у колористичній палітрі передає сюжетний рух, створює атмосферу передчуття чи очікування, адже білий колір, який асоціюється зі спокоєм, тишею, поступово набирає нових відтінків, нашарувань, що виражають загрозу. Білий, тобто прозорий, невидимий, нечіткий – це субстанція, у якій зароджується життя, яке ще не оформилося у форми й обриси. Автор спонукає до активізації внутрішнього зору, до уяви, змушує приглядатися, прислухатися, передчувати. На відміну від сучасників-імпресіоністів, які фіксували найтонші зміни через кольорові відтінки та нюанси, П. Лоті виступає у цьому романі своєрідним деколористом, відмовляється від яскравих чистих барв, щоб виразити первозданність світу, зокрема моря. Море, як символ води, відповідає концепну відродження/очищення. Нарація у романі підпорядковується двом взаємопереплетеним мотивам – кохання і смерті. Семантика смерті виражається означеннями образів дійсності і позначається чорним кольором. Танатологічні мотиви актуалізуються у образі сонця, яке спопеляє живе, виступає німим свідком вічного коловороту життя.

Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

Deutschschweizer Geschichtslehrpersonen als Akteure der Themenbestimmung in einer globalisierten Lebenswelt: ein Fallbeispiel aus einer empirischen Studie
Authors: Marti Philipp , Studer Dominic
Published: June 2024

This paper treats Swiss high school history teacher’s practice of lesson preparation, focusing the construction of topics in the context of a globalized world. Four half-structured interviews were conducted with high school history teachers and subsequently evaluated. The paper zooms in on one interview as case example. The survey concludes with the main finding, that despite of teacher’s awareness of their students’ interests and perspectives and the range of didactical opportunities allowed by the frame of the curriculum, they rather shy away from consequently implementing approaches based on a globalized world.
Du néolithique à l’anthropocène : fallait-il inventer l’agriculture ?
Authors: Demoule Jean-Paul
Published: June 2024

The invention of sedentary agriculture (the Neolithic) around 10 000 years ago resulted from the coincidence between the start of the present interglacial and homo sapiens with a more complex brain, as indicated by the emergence of figuration only 40 000 years ago. This had six main consequences: a demographic boom, still underway; a race to improve techniques to feed more and more people on a finite planet; rising social inequalities; the aggravation of warlike conflicts; the growth of epidemics; increasing damage to the environment. All this ushered in a new period for the Earth, marked this time by human impact: the Anthropocene. Did agriculture have to be invented? As with any technique, it depends on what societies do with it…
Faites l’histoire vous-même. Des « docutubes » comme outil de connaissances, de réflexion critique, de formation d’opinion raisonnée et de construction d’attitudes
Authors: Van Nieuwenhuyse Karel
Published: June 2024

Today’s young people are constantly confronted with a multitude of (dis)information via (social) media. The creation of docutubes helps them to develop a critical attitude. Through an active, collaborative and inquiry-based learning approach, young people learn about a topic on the basis of historical and current sources, then form a substantiated opinion and reflect on which attitude they can adopt. Subsequently, they translate their ideas and opinions into an audiovisual story: a docutube. Next, they reflect on the creative process. In so doing, they combine reasoned thinking with the development of digital literacy.
L’Afrique coloniale en Suisse vue par la lorgnette
Authors: Minder Patrick
Published: June 2024

In order to understand by which techniques the colonial discourse has gradually interfered both in scientific circles and in Swiss popular culture, the Swiss National Exhibition in Geneva in 1896 is an example of a very revealing heterotopia of the mechanisms that confirmed and illustrated the dominant thought. A black village is built within the Parc de Plaisance, a place of leisure and relaxation. The history of Africa in Switzerland is first and foremost written by means of visual media, comprising a system of representations and an imaginary essentials to the diffusion of colonial ideas.
Poser les fondements d’un mode de pensée historien en maternelle : et pourquoi pas ? Dans les pas de danse des hommes et des femmes de la Grèce antique
Authors: Hennay Sandra
Published: June 2024

Taking children between 5 and 7 years old towards understanding the past: is it possible and under which learning conditions? It is to these two questions that a didactic device tested in several classes of cycles I and II of primary education attempts to answer, the theme of which is dance and music in ancient Greece. Approached through the iconographic traces left by the Ancients and reconstructions of their musical universe, this subject served as a pretext for the implementation of cognitive operations such as describing, comparing, inferring, which gradually led children to enter a properly historical way of thinking.

ASEAN–China Free Trade Agreement: Ekonomi Politik di Indonesia
Authors: Muhammad Fhareza Deri
Published: June 2024

Penelitian ini berfokus pada dinamika ekonomi politik ASEAN–China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) di Indonesia, mengingat perdebatan seputar perjanjian tersebut telah memicu perubahan signifikan dalam kebijakan perdagangan negara. ACFTA, yang mulai mengurangi tarif pada 2005, telah menjadi salah satu perjanjian perdagangan regional terpenting. Penelitian ini menjelaskan dampak ACFTA menggunakan metode simulasi kesetimbangan parsial sederhana dan model gravitasi, berlandaskan pada data perdagangan tahun 2010-2022.
 
Penelitian ini menggunakan simulasi kesetimbangan parsial sederhana berlandaskan pada struktur minimal dan asumsi tertentu, mirip dengan model SMART yang digunakan oleh UNCTAD dan World Bank. Metode ini mempertimbangkan pemotongan tarif preferensial, penciptaan perdagangan, dan pengalihan perdagangan. Analisis dilakukan secara detail berdasarkan klasifikasi komoditas Harmonized System (HS) enam digit, dengan asumsi bahwa ada substitusi tidak sempurna di antara impor suatu komoditas tertentu dari berbagai negara sumber. Temuan kuantitatif menunjukkan bahwa pemotongan tarif ACFTA berdampak pada penurunan rata-rata tarif impor di Indonesia dari 25% menjadi 19%, dan di Cina dari 44% menjadi 41%. Dampak ACFTA terhadap arus perdagangan Indonesia mencakup peningkatan impor dari Cina dan perubahan bersih dalam neraca perdagangan. Analisis lebih lanjut menyediakan dasar untuk memperkirakan perubahan pendapatan bea cukai dan efek neto terhadap kesejahteraan ekonomi nasional.
Ritual Dynamics of Qur’an Burning
Authors: Pauha Teemu
Published: June 2024

In this article I approach Qur’an burning from the perspective of ritual studies. By conducting a discourse analysis of a YouTube video of a Qur’an burning, I argue that it can be perceived as a ritualized performance that communicates a variety of meanings to a variety of audiences. On one hand, the burning demarcates between ‘us’ and a Muslim ‘them’, thus serving to construct an ingroup identity. On the other, Muslims are constructed as a barbaric threat against which a civilized man is justified to use violence. To consolidate intergroup boundaries most effectively, Qur’an burning must be conducted within a community or preferably broadcast to a wide audience. Even when broadcast online, however, the act needs to involve a physical book. Consequently, both online and offline aspects are important for the ritualization of Qur’an burning.
Burning Affair
Authors: Larsson Göran , Frydenlund Iselin , Brekke Torkel
Published: June 2024

In this introduction we want to bring attention to and provide a contextualization and analysis of the last years burning of the Quran that have taken place and still takes place in the Nordic and Scandinavian context. Whilst many countries around the world still have blasphemy laws or laws against religious hatred that protect “religion” (however defined), or religious sensibilities from being desecrated or mocked, most Western countries, including Sweden, Denmark and Norway have removed blasphemy laws and made it possible to offer critique of religion, including the right to criticize religious texts. While this special issue primarily discusses the contemporary practice of public rituals where a physical copy of the Quran is burnt, we argue that understanding why this practice has become so widespread in the Nordic region requires a historical awareness of how blasphemy, as well as freedom of religion and freedom of expression have been understood and practiced in this very specific cultural and political environment of the far corners of Europe. Besides providing a historical background, the introduction includes an overview to how Muslims have discussed how to handle copies of the Quran that have been worn-out and why the intention is important for understanding the controversy around the burning of the Quran.

Authors: Du Yunchao , Shao Wanqing , Wang Renxiang
Published: June 2024

The supply chain resilience and safety level of lighting industry chain are one of the key fields of domestic concern at present. Based on a literature review, the ideas and methods of measuring the supply chain resilience and safety level of lighting industry chain were put forward. Then, an evaluation index system of industry chain resilience and safety was established, which included five dimensions: the risk management level, integrity, control force, stability, and competitiveness of industry chain. Considering the resilience of China’s industry chain and the main safety difficulties faced, the evaluation system was used to measure and evaluate the supply chain resilience and safety level of China’s lighting industry chain on the basis of the specific connotations and core elements of industry chain safety. The evaluation results show that the total score of the supply chain resilience and safety level of China’s lighting industry chain is 0.92, indicating the relatively high supply chain resilience and safety level of China’s lighting industry chain. Suggestions are put forward to strengthen the management of technological innovation ability, low-carbon ability, and domestic self-sufficiency rate of input products, so as to boost the high-quality, sustainable, and rapid development of China’s lighting industry. The research results can provide a scientific decision basis for the supply chain resilience and safety level of China’s lighting industry chain.

Its development played a pivotal role in the industrial revolution and urbanization, influenced culture, and paved the way for modern lighting systems. Attention is paid to technologies and equipment. Scientists and specialists who have made a significant contribution to the development of gas lighting are named. Directions for future research are outlined.
History of Development of Engineering Support of Buildings and Thermal Insulation of Enclosing Structures
Authors: Sysoeva Elena V.
Published: June 2024

The article considers the process of development of the main means of engineering support of buildings – lighting, heating, and ventilation. How over time and the development of science and technology improved ways to create a comfortable environment. The first artificial source of light and heat was the hearth. With the advent of torches and oil lamps, these functions separated and developed in parallel. At the same time, up to the 19th century, both heating (hypocausts, fireplaces, steam and water heating, etc.) and lighting (candles, gas lighting, etc.) were impossible without fire. Ventilation remained natural until the invention of the centrifugal fan in the nineteenth century. In parallel with the issue of heating, the issue of thermal insulation arose. When choosing building materials and structures, their availability in a given region, thermal characteristics and work in a given climate played an important role. The required level of thermal insulation was achieved by increasing the thickness of the wall, the size of the openings and their filling.
In the era of the “Enlightenment” (17th – 18th centuries), there is a turning point in the understanding of the world. The “classical” sciences are developing actively and universities and engineering schools are opening. If earlier science and practice existed in parallel, now the inventions of scientists began to be implemented much faster.
In the 19th century, electricity appears. This is another important point in the development of engineering. In the 21st century, it has almost completely replaced fire in human life (LEDs, LED, infrared and radiant heat, ventilation and air conditioning systems, etc.). A person no longer depends on nature. If in ancient times people sought to subdue it to himself then in the 21st century, the goal is to live in harmony with nature, which preservation and replenishment of the used resources is the search for environmentally friendly solutions without harm to humans and the environment.
The Implementation of Shaft Parts of Lighting Wells as Light Reflecting Elements in Multi-Storeys Industrial Buildings
Authors: Stetsky Sergey V. , Larionova Kira O.
Published: June 2024

The article discusses the problems of daylighting environment in multi storey industrial buildings. According the former scientific studies, these problems are being considered in relation to the socalled “lighting wells”. These design elements improve the quality of the indoor environment, mainly by establishing better contact between workers and the environment. The structural upgrading of original type of lighting wells is suggested. The tops of the lighting wells, which are the light supplying elements in the skylights form, are transformed to a “mining skylights”. The lower portions of the lighting wells, adjacent to floors, should be furnished with light-reflective elements. Due to this structural enclosing elements, which is additionally reflecting daylight flows to interiors, the daylight factor values increased. But such a design solution requires an additional study to prove a theoretic offering presented.
Harmony of Combining of Architectural Ideas: Light Oculus and Stalactite Muqarnas Tent
Authors: Ghazaryan Armen Yu.
Published: June 2024

The origin of the common type of overlap of the Armenian monastic fore-churches or narthex (zhamatun or gavit) – a stone muqarnas tent with a light oculus at the top – has not yet been fully disclosed. Denying the absolute autochthonous nature of this architectural idea, the author of the article develops a point of view about the transformation by Armenian architects of the form of a brick tent, known from the mausoleums of Muslim rulers, which were built since the 11th century in Mesopotamia and Syria. At the same time, the rich local context of the early forms of the high tent with an oculus and the architectural compositions associated with it are analysed anew. At the same time, in 1038 in the Horomos monastery the king Hovhannes Smbat Bagratuni has constructed the multi-column zhamatun with eight-side tent and an oculus. Intended for the repose of the king, this zhamatun could embody in its architecture both the forms of a residential building and, to a greater extent, the idea represented in Rotunda of the Holy Sepulchre. Since the second half of the 12th century, when many monastic vestibules were built, about a dozen such structures with a stalactite tent were also erected. It seems acceptable that in the process of creative processing of the idea of Muslim tents, Armenian architects embodied their formal features in the stone structure of the false vault, preserving the traditional light oculus for the local culture. Identified with the divine light, the stream looked spectacular against the background of a stalactite sculptural form resembling a cave. The key role in the creation of a new type of tent in the monastic buildings could be played by the masters of the Ani school of architecture.

The majority of Thailand's population is Buddhist. However, there are four provinces in the southern part of Thailand that mostly Muslims inhabit. The UINSA International Community Engagement (UICE) delegation team was assigned to plunge into the Muslim community living in Thailand to revive the Qur'anic values in non-Muslim society. Thus, the Muslim population in Thailand would not lose the Qur'anic values even as a minority. This activity also tries to introduce Qur'an recitation art guidance to Muslims in Southern Thailand who are less familiar with this activity. Therefore, this paper aims to describe the activities of Al-Qur'an reading art education by providing intensive guidance on the recitation of Al-Qur'an as a form of community service. The approach used is a qualitative approach that is Asset Based Community Development that is conducted in five stages, namely initial preparation, analysis, designing expectations, program implementation, and results evaluation. The Qur'an recitation art guidance method involves intensive recitation guidance classes, periodic evaluations, performances, competitions, and presenting prizes.

Background/Aims: Inhaled particulate air pollution is associated with cardiotoxicity with underlying mechanisms including oxidative stress and inflammation. Carnosol, commonly found in rosemary and sage, is known to possess a broad range of therapeutic properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic. However, its cardioprotective effects on diesel exhaust particles (DEPs)-induced toxicity have not been studied yet. Hence, we evaluated the potential ameliorative effects of carnosol on DEPs-induced heart toxicity in mice, and the underlying mechanisms involved. Methods: Mice were intratracheally instilled with DEPs (1 mg/kg) or saline, and 1 hour prior to instillation they were given intraperitoneally either carnosol (20 mg/kg) or saline. Twenty-four hours after the DEPs instillation, multiple parameters were evaluated in the heart by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, colorimetric assay, Comet assay and Western blot technique. Results: Carnosol has significantly reduced the elevation in the plasma levels of lactate hydrogenase and brain natriuretic peptide induced by DEPs. Likewise, the augmented cardiac levels of proinflammatory cytokines, lipid peroxidation, and total nitric oxide in DEPs-treated groups were significantly normalized with the treatment of carnosol. Moreover, carnosol has markedly reduced the heart mitochondrial dysfunction, as well as DNA damage and apoptosis of mice treated with DEPs. Similarly, carnosol significantly reduced the elevated expressions of phosphorylated nuclear factor-кB (NF-кB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in the hearts. Furthermore, the treatment with carnosol has restored the decrease in the expression of sirtuin-1 in the hearts of mice exposed to DEPs. Conclusion: Carnosol significantly attenuated DEP-induced cardiotoxicity in mice by suppressing inflammation, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and apoptosis, at least partly via mechanisms involving sirtuin-1 activation and the inhibition of NF-кB and MAPKs activation.
Mona Maclean, Adaptably Amorous
Authors: Burkhart Annie
Published: June 2024

This article investigates how Margaret Georgina Todd’s Mona Maclean, Medical Student [1892], is largely unapologetic in its presentation of queer female characters. In a quasi-autobiographical product of a Sapphic woman, Todd’s eponymous heroine functions as a fictionalised version of Todd herself. Mona Maclean’s remarkable queerness reveals itself when we subject the text and the relationships therein to what Sharon Marcus refers to as ‘just reading’ in her monograph Between Women. Female amity in Todd’s novel exists within a broad spectrum of desire, from friendly flirtation to what I term ‘New Coupledom’, a queer, coupled complement to New Womanhood for women who use heterosexual marriages to facilitate their same-sex partnerships. This article aims to make the logical next step from examining the force of the New Woman novel to the purchase of a principally queer New Woman novel in the late nineteenth century.

The Midline Supernumerary Tooth – Mesiodens: A Case Series
Authors: Petluru Harika , Shaik Rahul , Kanagaluru Charani , Karthik Anchala
Published: June 2024

Supernumerary teeth have been proposed to be one of the most significant dental defects affecting the primary and early mixed dentition. These teeth can cause poor facial and dental aesthetics, as well as many pathological problems for the development of permanent dentition. Mesiodens are the extra teeth that have erupted or not yet erupted in the maxilla between the central incisors. Early identification and treatment are necessary to mitigate the negative effects of the mesiodens dentoalveolar structures. This case series discusses three different cases for the presence of supernumerary teeth leading to discomfort and aesthetic concerns. Extraction of the supernumerary teeth was performed to reduce future complications and was further suggested for orthodontic correction.

Evolution of papilla preservation procedures - A Review
Authors: Mishra Akriti , Talwar Avaneendra
Published: June 2024

This review provides insights into the etiology and classification of the interdental papilla loss, along with treatment modalities for interdental papillary loss, emphasizing the significance of preserving papillary integrity for optimal smile aesthetics and patient satisfaction. This review article is intended to revisit the techniques that have been employed, till date, to preserve the interdental papilla while performing periodontal surgeries. Various surgical techniques have been introduced over the years for papilla preservation, including minimally invasive approaches. Recent meta-analysis suggests papilla preservation techniques prevent the post-surgery loss, with choice based on defect area and patient esthetics. Incision type is crucial for the healing process.

DAO voting mechanism resistant to whale and collusion problems
Authors: Tamai Shunya , Kasahara Shoji
Published: June 2024

With the widespread adoption of blockchain technology, a novel organizational structure known as Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) has attracted considerable attention. DAOs facilitate decision-making through member voting, realizing the governance in a decentralized manner. However, DAOs face unique challenges compared to traditional organization. This paper focuses on two key challenges of governance within DAOs: the whale problem and collusion issue. The whale problem is characterized by the concentration of power among specific members, while for the collusion problem, voting results are distorted by fraudulent collaboration. In terms of voting, we consider Quadratic Voting, a voting system expected to deter the concentration of voting power among a subset of participants, analyzing its resistance to the collusion problem. We show with numerical examples that in comparison to Linear Voting, Quadratic Voting lacks resistance to collusion. Then, we propose a voting mechanism that integrates Quadratic Voting with the Vote escrow tokens, demonstrating the mitigation of the whale problem while acquiring resilience to collusion in the decision-making process. The numerical examples confirm the high efficacy of our proposed model.

Background

Hypertension is the most significant global risk factor for mortality and morbidity, making standardized blood pressure measurement crucial.

Objectives

To investigate whether the location of blood pressure monitors and the positioning of cuffs yield differing results in blood pressure measurements.

Methods

Patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiujiang College between 1 January 2022 and 30 June 2023 were enrolled in this study and randomly allocated into four groups. These groups were defined based on the positioning of monitoring equipment as follows: varied placements of cuffs on automatic blood pressure monitors, different heights for mercury column blood pressure monitors, varied heights for automatic blood pressure monitors, and different orientations for the cuff airbag tubes on electrocardiogram monitors. Blood pressure was measured and recorded for each group, followed by an analysis of the variations in readings across the different setups.

Results

In the first cohort of 763 individuals, mean systolic blood pressure measured at the standard upper arm site was 128.8 ± 10.5 mmHg, compared to 125.3 ± 10.4 mmHg at the elbow fossa. The corresponding diastolic pressures were 79.2 ± 10.7 and 75.0 ± 10.6 mmHg, respectively. The difference in systolic pressure between these positions was significant at 3.48 ± 3.22 mmHg (t₁ = 29.91, p₁ < 0.001) and for diastolic pressure at 4.23 ± 1.31 mmHg (t₂ = 88.98, p₂ < 0.001). For the subsequent groups, involving 253, 312, and 225 individuals, respectively, blood pressure measurements were analyzed and compared across different methods within each group. All p-values exceeded 0.05, indicating no statistically significant differences.

Conclusions

Blood pressure values measured at the elbow fossa position using an upper arm-type automatic sphygmomanometer were found to be lower than those measured at the upper arm position, with a difference of 3.48 mmHg for systolic and 4.23 mmHg for diastolic pressures. It is therefore essential to position the cuff correctly, specifically 2–3 cm above the elbow fossa, when utilizing an upper arm-type automatic sphygmomanometer for blood pressure monitoring. Conversely, the placement of the mercury column sphygmomanometer and the automated sphygmomanometer at varying heights had no significant effect on blood pressure readings. Similarly, the orientation of the electrocardiogram's cuffed balloon tube, whether facing upward or downward, did not influence blood pressure measurement outcomes.
Source-free domain adaptation for semantic image segmentation using internal representations
Authors: Stan Serban , Rostami Mohammad
Published: June 2024

Semantic segmentation models trained on annotated data fail to generalize well when the input data distribution changes over extended time period, leading to requiring re-training to maintain performance. Classic unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) attempts to address a similar problem when there is target domain with no annotated data points through transferring knowledge from a source domain with annotated data. We develop an online UDA algorithm for semantic segmentation of images that improves model generalization on unannotated domains in scenarios where source data access is restricted during adaptation. We perform model adaptation by minimizing the distributional distance between the source latent features and the target features in a shared embedding space. Our solution promotes a shared domain-agnostic latent feature space between the two domains, which allows for classifier generalization on the target dataset. To alleviate the need of access to source samples during adaptation, we approximate the source latent feature distribution via an appropriate surrogate distribution, in this case a Gaussian mixture model (GMM).
