Applications of genetic code expansion and photosensitive UAAs in studying membrane proteins
Authors: Zhao Shu , Liu Dong
Published: October 2023

Membrane proteins are the targets for most drugs and play essential roles in many life activities in organisms. In recent years, unnatural amino acids (UAAs) encoded by genetic code expansion (GCE) technology have been widely used, which endow proteins with different biochemical properties. A class of photosensitive UAAs has been widely used to study protein structure and function. Combined with photochemical control with high temporal and spatial resolution, these UAAs have shown broad applicability to solve the problems of natural ion channels and receptor biology. This review will focus on several application examples of light-controlled methods to integrate GCE technology to study membrane protein function in recent years. We will summarize the typical research methods utilizing some photosensitive UAAs to provide common strategies and further new ideas for studying protein function and advancing biological processes.
A Framework for a Mobile Knowledge Management Application for Crisis and Emergency Management
Authors: Bayrak Tuncay
Published: October 2023

The widespread availability of mobile devices offers enormous opportunities for first responders to have instant access to sources of information, and collaborate with one another when responding to an emergency. Although various knowledge management systems have been developed in different domains, no mobile knowledge management application so far has been developed in the area of emergency or crisis management. This study addresses various technical requirements for a mobile knowledge management application specifically designed for first responders to an emergency or crisis.

To stress or not to stress: what can Mandarin pronouns inform us of the accessibility of topic and focus?
Authors: Zhu Conghui , Wu Fuyun
Published: October 2023

Referents with a topical or focused status have been shown to be preferable antecedents in real-time resolution of pronouns. However, it remains unclear regarding whether topicality and focus compete for prominence when co-present in the same narrative, and if so, how differential prominence affects prosodic realization of a subsequent pronoun. Building upon the general understanding that stress on pronouns signals an unusual, less accessible interpretation, we take advantage of the conditional bi-clausal construction in conjunction with homophonic 3rd person pronouns in Chinese. We manipulated the information status of two referents that were introduced into a six-clause narrative in succession, specifically (i) Topic and (ii) Focus, and also (iii) the Reference of the Pronoun (either the first or second referent). Our acoustic analyses showed that pronouns were produced with higher F0s when the first referent was topicalized than when it was not topicalized under conditions where the second referent was focused. Pronouns referring back to the first referent were uttered longer when the referent was not topicalized than when it was topicalized. These results suggest accessibility statuses of referents vary dynamically in response to different prominence-lending cues, and these variations can be captured by the prosodic features of a following pronoun.
Wh-questions in dynamic inquisitive semantics
Authors: Roelofsen Floris , Dotlačil Jakub
Published: October 2023

This target article presents a type-theoretic dynamic inquisitive semantics framework, extending the first-order system presented in (Dotlačil, Jakub & Floris Roelofsen. 2019. Dynamic inquisitive semantics: Anaphora and questions. Sinn und Bedeutung 23. 365–382). Within this framework, we develop a compositional treatment of wh-questions whose basic premise is that a wh-phrase introduces a discourse referent u, just like non-interrogative indefinites do, and requires the presence of an operator in the left periphery of the clause which requests a witness for u, i.e., it raises an issue whose resolution requires identifying at least one individual that has all the properties ascribed to u. In previous work, it has been argued that a dynamic semantic analysis of questions is needed to account for anaphora with wh-antecedents and for certain kinds of intervention effects (Haida, Andreas. 2007. The indefiniteness and focusing of wh-words. Berlin: Humboldt University PhD thesis). Here, we further develop the general approach and argue that it has several additional benefits. Namely, it allows for a uniform treatment of single-wh and multiple-wh questions, it derives mention-some and mention-all readings in a principled way, as well as an often neglected partial mention-some reading in multiple-wh questions, it can capture certain constraints on the availability of mention-some readings, and the effects of number marking on which-phrases across single-wh and multiple-wh questions.
Nothing Is Certain Except Taxes and the Other Thing: Searching for Death Anxiety in a Large Online Sample
Authors: Storelv Sina , Sætrevik Bjørn
Published: October 2023

Philosophical and psychological literature has suggested that death anxiety has a profound impact on people’s lives and is a fundamental aspect of what it means to be human. Such claims motivated us to examine how people express their emotions and attitudes toward death in short free-text responses. We explored a qualitative dataset where 803 Americans stated their thoughts about either death or physical pain (toothache). Comparing these, we found that death prompts caused the expression of less negative affect and more positive affect than toothache prompts. The reactions to death were quite diverse and did not appear to be dominated by existential anxiety. We discuss whether this pattern may be due to psychological defense against death causing negative emotions, or whether the pattern reveals a “true” preference for contemplating death rather than toothache. The article serves as a companion for an open dataset, to allow other researchers to explore and reuse it.
Free to See the Big Picture: Autonomy Increases Abstractness of Action Identification
Authors: Körner Anita , Götz Felix J. , Krishna Anand
Published: October 2023

People sometimes feel autonomous—free to choose and able to control their actions; at other times, they feel restricted in what they can do and what the outcome will be. Based on Action Identification Theory, the present work examines whether autonomy influences how abstractly actions are represented. In 6 studies, high (vs. low) autonomy increased abstractness of action identification. Participants selected more abstract (vs. concrete) redescriptions of actions when they imagined wanting (vs. having) to perform these actions (Experiments 1a–1b), when autonomy was varied via situation descriptions (Experiments 2a–2b), via memory content (Experiment 3), and in an ecological setting (Study 4). Finding that high (vs. low) autonomy increased abstractness of action identification constitutes an extension of Action Identification Theory to incorporate social determinants.
A Test of Racial Disparities in Principals’ Disciplinary Decisions in a National Sample
Authors: Jarvis Shoshana N. , Ferguson Z. E. , Okonofua Jason A.
Published: October 2023

Access to education is important for success as an adult. Exclusionary discipline (e.g., suspensions) reduces opportunities for students to complete their education and be strong candidates for future jobs. Black students face a disproportionately high risk of disciplinary action. Thus, it is important to understand when and how racial disparities in suspensions emerge in order to reduce their disproportionate negative impacts on Black students. Past research found racial disparities emerge after two misbehaviors among teachers and just a single misbehavior among assistant principals. The current research tests the generalizability of racial disparities in discipline from principals across the United States and a psychological process that potentially contributes to the racial disparities: their perception of their professional role relative to that of teachers. In this procedure and with a diverse sample, principals did not endorse significantly different amounts of discipline for Black and White students. We explore potential explanations of these null results in the discussion.
On the State, Potentials, and Current Tensions of the Social Sciences in Latin America
Authors: Blois Juan Pedro , Centeno Miguel A.
Published: October 2023

This essay introduces a special collection on the state, potential, and tensions of the social sciences in Latin America. It briefly reflects on the historic role that these disciplines have exerted in society, policy, and culture, their troubled trajectory –– which included episodes of rapid expansion and significant retreatment (if not ostracism) ––, and their current situation in terms of institutional development and research agendas. It also elaborates on how Latin American social scientists have dealt with the difficulties (but also potentials) of studying social structures from a peripheral global region and how they have dealt with the classic tension between involvement and detachment. Against this backdrop, this special collection includes a series of papers exploring how certain topics of especial importance in Latin America –– i.e. development and world economy; state capacity, public administration, and political legitimacy; and violence, conflict, and social cohesion –– have been studied. It also features a group of papers examining some of the main recent institutional and intellectual trends within local social sciences: academic professionalization vis-a-vis activism, the expansion of teaching in the under and graduate levels and its effects on disciplinary borders, the “parochialism” (vs. cosmopolitanism) in publishing and research topics, as well as the potentials and risks of the adoption of open science as recently encouraged by UNESCO. While it would be pointless to attempt to provide a detailed portray of a much-diversified reality, the variety of topics addressed by the papers, as much as the different approaches guiding each contribution ––which range from detached descriptions to normative policy-oriented (and well-informed) essays, from “distant reading” based on bigdata to rich sociohistorical reconstruction––, try to convey some of Latin American social sciences’ vitality and diverse interests.

Published: October 2023

Water quality (WQ) pollution is a matter of concern to everyone, and it is necessary to take remedial measures to protect human life. This paper presents the assessment of surface WQ through the Water Quality Index (WQI) followed by the Vietnam Standard QCVN 08-MT:2015/BTNMT combined with satellite data for the Dau Tieng reservoir. The implementation method is based on the correlation of each WQ indicator with the spectral features of satellite images to build a regression function, simulating the spatial distribution of the entire reservoir. The Sentinel-2A satellite images were used with reflective bands in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum region. The regression functions showed that the correlation of the WQ indicators was related to single bands, and the band ratios include blue and NIR, red/blue, green/blue, and NIR/blue bands. Simulation results of the WQI spatial distribution expressed that the WQ of the Dau Tieng reservoir was in a polluted state at the level of WQI fluctuation in the range of 0–50 for the most part. Dau Tieng irrigation system plays a vital role in the water distribution system for Tay Ninh province and the southern key economic region. Therefore, appropriate treatment measures should be taken if it needs to be used for domestic water supply purposes.
Features of determining the real property valuation using the alternative approach of matrix pseudo-inversion
Authors: Hubar Yurii , Fys Mykhailo , Brydun Andrii , Sohor Andrii
Published: October 2023

The purpose of the work is the application of using the method of matrix pseudo-inversion to determine the market value of real estate objects using the mathematical apparatus of the method of comparing sales of similar real estate objects. Using modern mathematical methods to calculate the value allows us to overcome the influence of the appraiser's subjectivity. One of the main goals of research and analysis of adjustment factors is the analysis of the real estate market, the structure and distribution of costs for creating a system of real estate improvements and components of the settlement’s infrastructure. For the first time, the method of matrix pseudo-inversion was applied to determine the market value of real estate objects for the case when it is impossible to obtain the inverse matrix in the classical way. Conducted studies using the pseudo-inverse matrix theory also make it possible to determine the coefficients to the value of the object of evaluation according to the most influential price-forming factors. The result obtained by this method can serve as a benchmark when the value is determined by the classical valuation methods.

The alternative model of personality disorders or early maladaptive schemas? Usefulness for understanding borderline features in a non-clinical adult sample
Authors: Mącik Dorota
Published: October 2023

Introduction and objective: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) alternative model of personality disorders (AMPD) is currently under empirical verification for its usefulness and diagnostic accuracy. At the same time, numerous studies based on Young’s concept of maladaptive schemas are underway. The aim of the research was to compare the possibilities of explaining the severity of borderline features using both models. Materials and methods: The results obtained from 565 healthy adults, with women accounting for slightly more than 52%, aged 18–81 years (M = 37 years) were analysed. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II Personality Disorders – Personality Questionnaire (items for borderline personality disorder) (SCID-II, BPD part), Young Schema Questionnaire – Short Form (YSQ-S3) and Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5), Brief Form were used. Results: Regression analysis demonstrated that schemas account for about 39%, and personality traits for 53% of borderline trait variability, and their combined use increases this percentage to 55%. Structural modelling, in turn, indicated that only three schema domains are relevant for explaining borderline traits, but only indirectly. The direct effect schemas have on the personality dimensions from the AMPD model (only Impaired Autonomy has a significant direct effect on borderline). Contrary to the assumptions of the AMPD model, Negative Affectivity holds the slightest importance for the severity of borderline, while the greatest effect strength characterises Psychoticism. Conclusions: The dimensions of an alternative personality model have a direct relationship with BPD traits. The schemas explain personality traits (AMPD) but not the severity of the disorder itself.
Teściowie jako etap rozwojowy i rola społeczna
Authors: Smoleń Renata
Published: October 2023

The family is constantly developing, which is determined both by indivi-dual changes of its individual members, as well as by their acceptance of ever new roles and tasks. These transformations, often called crises, require discernment of emotional needs and states. Individual family systems influence each other, inter-penetrate each other, support each other, and sometimes are the cause of conflicts. Closeness in the family is an important element for equipping with the competen-ces necessary for the further process of separating and entering new, safe, trusting relationships. The role of in-laws in these transformations and the interpenetration of systems is extremely important for the development of interpersonal dialogue, but also and above all for love, hope and responsibility. These postulates are an im-portant signpost in preparing to play such an important role in the family system.
Medialne i komunikacyjne oblicza zarządzania relacjami interpersonalnymi w perspektywie zjawiska katalaksji
Authors: Cymanow-Sosin Klaudia , Cymanow Piotr
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this article is to indicate the media and communication dimension of interpersonal relations on the basis of roles that act in the family as well as ways of engaging with those relationships and emotions in context. The remaining SWOTanalysis was applied, which allowed to identify weaknesses and threats arising from the lack of appropriate communication competencies and strengths and opportuni-ties facing participants in communication processes. The change, which remained in the estimation of the general types of family members, was shared by the generation of the second generation (generation BB— baby boomers, X, Y and Z). On this basis, the remaining relations of interpersonal human communication are outlined, as well as the basis of social communication. A very important component in the process of understanding is the remaining dialogue. The following are the most important factors in interpersonal communication in family relations, as well as in the position of family dependence and in the generally interrupted communication. The family remained a very complex system of connections and relations, and the process of understanding itself is a very transactional and dynamic common practice, which is not a certain threat, arising also from the influence of the media on the part of the family, together with the family.
The Rot of the Bones: A New Analysis of קנאה (“Envy/Jealousy”) in the Hebrew Bible
Authors: Ellis Anthony
Published: October 2023

This article reassesses the expression of jealousy and envy in the Hebrew Bible as well as their ethical status. Through a systematic analysis of the Hebrew root קנא, I argue that קנאה arises exclusively in scenarios involving a relative loss in status to a rival and that its closest English counterparts are therefore envy and jealousy. While some sort of link between קנאה and envy/jealousy is widely acknowledged, communis opinio has it that קנאה in the Bible regularly refers to other emotions and states, from anger and fury, to devotion and love, to vaguer feelings of passion, emotional excitement, zeal, or the desire for vengeance. Likewise, קנאה is widely considered to be ethically neutral—an emotion that might be positive or negative, good or bad. I challenge these views through new readings of several passages (esp. Song 8:6, Prov 14:30, Num 11:29, 2 Sam 21:1–2) and close with a brief discussion of the significance of these findings for biblical theology, religious zealotry, and the lexical expression of jealousy in cultures that evolved in contact with the Hebrew Bible and its translations.
Love, Marriage, and a Delayed Harvest: Isaiah 61 as the Reversal of the Song of the Vineyard (5:1–7)
Authors: Poe Hays Rebecca W.
Published: October 2023

In the book of Isaiah, the “Song of the Vineyard” (5:1–7) merges garden imagery and love-song language together in a distinctive way. In Isa 61, garden imagery and marital language appear side by side, and the concluding hymn (vv. 10–11) sets the two images in explicit parallel. I argue that the imagery in Isa 61 is a reversing echo of the imagery of Isa 5:1–7 and communicates a message of restoration in keeping with the rest of Isa 60–62. By reversing the imagery of Isa 5:1–7, the author of Isa 61 depicts the fulfillment of the hopes that horticultural and relational destruction will not be the end of the story of God’s people. Recognizing that Isa 61 contains an intentional echo of Isa 5:1–7 lends support to compositional models for Isaiah that view the authorship of the final section(s) of the book as being a conscious development of an existing Isaianic corpus.
O pan-africanismo carioca nos anos 70 e 80 do século XX
Authors: Rocha Marianne da Silva
Published: October 2023

Neste trabalho busco compreender como um setor universitário negro carioca acessou as ideias do pan-africanismo cujos protagonistas eram os líderes das independências dos países africanos e produziu seu próprio sentido de militância nacionalista nos anos de 1970 e 1980. Minha tese é que o Centro de Estudos Afro-asiáticos (1973-2016) situado na Universidade Cândido Mendes funcionou como uma instituição mediadora entre a academia e a militância, fornecendo informação e formação sobre o que acontecia do outro lado do Atlântico em uma era pré-internet. Neste sentido, esse espaço é privilegiado na presente análise. Essa pesquisa é multimétodos: foi realizada a partir da triangulação metodológica entre cartografia da revista Estudos Afro-asiáticos, a etnografia do acervo do CEAA, cujos arquivos estão hoje em processamento, e a realização de entrevistas serviu de elemento balizador.

O objetivo desse artigo é identificar a prevalência de sintomas depressivos e fatores associados em idosos residentes em instituições de longa permanência (ILPIs). Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico com delineamento transversal composto por indivíduos com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos, de ambos os sexos, residentes nas dez ILPIs públicas do município de São Paulo - SP. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período de julho de 2016 a fevereiro de 2019, por meio de um questionário, onde foram verificados os aspectos sociodemográficos; rede de apoio e as condições de saúde. Para detecção de sintomas depressivos foi utilizada o Inventário de Depressão de Beck (IDB) e o estado cognitivo foi avaliado pelo Mini-Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM). O presente estudo identificou uma prevalência de sintomas de depressão em 75,7% dos entrevistados, com predomínio do sexo masculino (39,4%). Houve associação significante entre sintomas depressivos e as variáveis: de dor (p=0,006) e limitação do movimento (p=0,003). Através do que foi observado, se faz necessário a criação e implementação de políticas públicas e o acompanhamento desses pacientes, que possibilitem o tratamento e a prevenção dessas condições variáveis.

In this study, a promising microemulsion delivery system containing andiroba essential oil, lemongrass essential oil and chitosan was developed and applied in 100% cotton fabrics to provide antibacterial functionality. The developed micellar systems were characterized by coloration, electrical conductivity, viscosity, zeta potential, particle size, temperature resistance and microbial activity analyses. The microemulsions in the substrates were verified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and microbial activity analyses before and after domestic washing of the functionalized fabrics. Microemulsions SMs_P1 and SMs_P4 showed more significant inhibitory action against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter sp. bacteria, observed in the functionalized samples before and after domestic washing. In this study, microemulsions SMs_P1 and SMs_P4 developed and tested on 100% cotton fabrics have greater application viability because they showed inhibitory action against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria S. aureus, E. coli and Enterobacter sp. The antibacterial functionality of the microemulsions was also observed in 100% cotton fabrics treated with them (TA_SMs_P1 and TA_SMs_P4) before and after domestic washing, as demonstrated by FTIR and antimicrobial activity analyses, with greater emphasis on microemulsion SMs_P4, which has lower concentrations than SMs_P1 and showed significant values (halo size) in blocking the action of E. coli bacteria.
Novel experimental technique to model impression piles in centrifuge testing
Authors: Lalicata Leonardo Maria , Ritchie Eric , Stallebrass Sarah Elizabeth , McNamara Andrew
Published: October 2023

A novel experimental technology for small-scale centrifuge tests on piled foundations has been investigated. The technology is suitable for bored piles where the pile shaft has been profiled to improve bearing capacity, such as with the impression pile which has an enhanced shaft capacity owing to the small impressions created along the shaft. In previous centrifuge testing, impression piles have been created by pouring resin into a profiled bore. However, in the technique described, a pile made from three-dimensionally (3D)-printed rigid plastic components with a mandrel mechanism is used to create a nodular shaft surface during model making. Once assembled the pile has the same geometry as the cast-in-situ impression pile. 3D-printed plastic piles allow for fast model making and demonstrate excellent repeatability. Because of the ductile behaviour of the soil–plastic interface the impressions improve the performance of a pile over the entire load settlement curve, not just at ultimate capacity. In addition, a greater increase in ultimate capacity was registered for the 3D-printed plastic impression piles compared to similar resin impression piles. At working load, the 3D-printed plastic impression piles outperformed traditional straight-shafted piles by 90%.
Exploring aspects related to the learning of business students during emergency remote education
Authors: Ferreira Deise , Quintana Alexandre Costa
Published: October 2023

In this study, we sought to analyze the positive and negative aspects concerning the perceived learning of students who remotely entered programs in the Business field of a public higher education institution in Rio Grande do Sul. Thus, an online questionnaire was applied to 50 students of the Administration, Accounting, and Economic Sciences programs. The quantitative approach of the study allowed us to show that the students who participated in the study generally perceived their learning as sufficient at the end of the initial experience with emergency remote education. The results also showed that the pedagogical aspect was negatively and positively related to learning, highlighting the teaching methods used by professors (positive relationship) and the reduced or non-existent interaction with professors (negative relationship). The study identifies the pedagogical aspect, focusing on the professors and their teaching strategies as an influencer of learning during emergency remote education. The findings also reinforce the importance of student support and preparation for using technologies in education, the need for continuing education for professors, and rethinking the teaching practices, incorporating technological didactic resources into post-crisis education. The evidence also points to the need to adopt an approach combining face-to-face and distance education (hybrid education) as a learning facilitator, seeking quality teaching and developing knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for student education.

Authors:   Muş Alparslan University, Şahin Onur
Published: October 2023

Background: It is necessary to determine the extent and direction of environmental factors to accurately assess cow performance in terms of milk yield and milk components. Although many studies have explored environmental factors affecting milk yield, there is not enough information about the effects and direction of environmental factors on milk composition. Objective: To determine the effects of non-genetic factors, such as calving season, lactation number, lactation stage, animal age, and herd size on milk yield, chemical composition of raw milk, and Somatic Cell Count (SCC) in Holstein-Friesian cows. Methods: Data were obtained from 15,354 raw milk samples of 5,118 Holstein-Friesian cows at 276 dairy farms in Türkiye. The data analysis was performed using the General Linear Model (GLM) feature of the SPSS statistics program. Results: Mean fat (F), protein (P), dry matter (DM), lactose (L), urea (U), and Log10SCC values of milk were 3.74 ± 0.01, 3.19 ± 0.01, 11.36 ± 0.03, 4.32 ± 0.01%, 21.57 ± 0.28 mg/dL, and 5.244 ± 0.01 cells/mL, respectively. Peak milk yield (PMY), lactation milk yield (LMY), 305-day milk yield (305-d MY), and SCC values were 33.7 ± 0.13, 8,538.33 ± 89.64 kg, 6,479.42 ± 168.96 kg, and 224,164.34 ± 4,402.79 cells/mL, respectively. Conclusion: Dairy farms in Türkiye should improve protein, dry matter, and urea contents in milk and investigate in detail the relationship between raw milk urea, subclinical mastitis, and reproductive features.
Sosyal Kimlik Teorisi ve Göçmen Kimliğinin Ötekileştirilmesi Süreci: Stereotipleştirmeye Yönelik Psikopolitik Bir Analiz
Authors: METE Mahmut
Published: October 2023

Göçmenlerin farklı kimliklere sahip olmaları ötekileştirilme deneyimlerini arttırmaktadır. Başka bir deyişle; göçmenlerin farklı kültürel, etnik ya da dini kimliklere ilişkin olarak ötekileştirilmeleri daha olasıdır. Bu önermenin sonucu olarak ötekileştirme, onunla mücadeleyi merkeze alan politikalar tarafından “aşılması olası” ve yapaylığı ima eden bir olgu olarak ele alınmaktadır. Bu çalışma; “öteki”nin varlığını kimliğin oluşumu açısından kaçınılmaz görerek ötekileştirmeyi “olumsuz bir doğal” yapan unsurun sosyal bilişsel bir süreç olan “stereotipleştirme” üzerinden okunması ve çözümün burada aranması gerektiği savını, Henri Tajfel ve John Turner’ın Sosyal Kimlik Teorisini temel alarak günümüzde “öteki” sıfatının atfedildiği göçmenler bağlamında ele almaktadır. İnsanların tarih boyunca doğal, sosyal, politik ve ekonomik sebeplerle başvurduğu göç eyleminin günümüzde yoğun kitlesel hareketliliğe dönüşmesi göçmen kimliğinin görünürlüğünü arttırmış ve bu kimliği küresel ölçekte ötekileştirmenin nesnesi tayin etmiştir. Ötekileştirmenin psikolojik ve politik bileşenlerinin etraflıca tetkiki, söz konusu fenomenin toplumsal çıktılarının ayrıştırıcı etkisini bertaraf edebilmek için bir başlangıç noktasıdır. Bu gaye ile çalışmada ötekileştirme pratiğine farklı bir zaviyeden yaklaşılmış, ötekileştirmeyi toplumsal yaşam açısından olumsuz sonuçlara eviren bilişsel sürecin tespitleri göçmenler üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. İlgili alanlarda teorik ve ampirik kaynakların taranması neticesinde edinilen bulgularla çalışma, sosyal psikolojik unsurların politik uygulamalara dâhil edilmesine dair yöntemlere ulaşma çabası ve toplumsal bütünlüğün tesis/muhafaza edilmesi için sunduğu politik psikolojik çözümler ile literatüre eklenmeyi hedeflemektedir.
FROM "RED" TO "NEW" CULTURE: TRADITION AND INNOVATIONS IN CHINESE MARXISM
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Turenko Vitalii
Published: October 2023

The article examines in detail the understanding of culture and cultural practices in the context of such concepts of Chineseized Marxism as "red culture" and "new culture". It was revealed that culture, as well as aesthetic studies, were in the center of attention of Chinese Marxist circles. Accordingly, within the framework of the idea of "new democracy" the formation and further development of a "new culture" is developed, which involves the preservation of traditional priorities of Chinese civilization and the introduction of new aspects that relate both to the Marxist considerations of the leaders of the CCP and in accordance with modern global trends. Based on this, culture and the cultural revolution are inextricably linked with Marxist projects of criticizing capitalist modernity and building an alternative modernity. In this respect, the various practices and plans of Chinese Marxism are similar to those of Western Marxism. It is substantiated that along with the idea of "new culture" the concept of "red culture" functions, which differs from the former in its containing a synthesis of traditional Chinese culture and an understanding of the latter within the framework of Chineseized Marxism. This, according to thinkers and leaders of the CCP, helps in the fight against cultural imperialism disguised as globalization. Chinese aesthetic scholars followed the Western Marxist agenda; but at the same time deliberately criticized Western Marxism and its Maoist connections. It is noteworthy that the Chinese Marxist experience of the post-revolutionary society and the vision that arose from it drew another cognitive map, an alternative "cultural topology" for modern cultural studies. They offer us an epistemological alternative for understanding the genealogy of critical concepts and conceptual schemes through which the history of modern Chinese culture is interpreted. Chineseized Marxism examines these "topological cultural spaces" from a critical perspective, drawing attention to Chinese theories themselves and juxtaposing these theories with Western Marxist ones so that their assumptions can be subjected to critical scrutiny.
Mobility and Dependence-aware QoS Monitoring in Mobile Edge Computing
Authors: K.Egneswari   Mr.J.krishnamoorthy
Published: October 2023

Mobile edge computing is a new computing paradigm that performs computing on the edge of a network. It provides services to users by deploying edge servers near mobile devices. Services may be unavailable or do not satisfy the needs of users due to changing edge environments. Quality of service (QoS) is commonly employed as a critical means to indicate qualitative status of services. It is particularly important to monitor QoS of services timely and effectively in the mobile edge environment. However, user mobility and dependencies among QoS values often cause the monitoring results to deviate from the real results in the mobile edge environment. Existing QoS monitoring approaches have not taken into account these problems. To address the problems, this paper proposes ghBSRM-MEC (Gaussian hidden BayeSian Runtime Monitoring for Mobile Edge Computing), a novel mobility and dependence-aware QoS monitoring approach for the mobile edge environment. This approach assumes that the QoS attribute values of edge servers obey Gaussian distribution. It constructs a parent property for each property, thus reducing the dependence between properties. During the training stage, a Gaussian Hidden Bayesian classifier is constructed for each edge server. During the monitoring stage, combining with a KNN algorithm, the classifier is changed dynamically based on user mobility to realize QoS monitoring in the mobile edge environment. The experimental results validate the feasibility, effectiveness, and efficiency of ghBSRM-MEC

Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent tumor of the endocrine system, accounting for 1%–3% of all malignant neoplasms as of 2021. Differentiated forms, papillary and follicular, with a relatively favorable prognosis, are detected in 90% of cases. The combination of surgical treatment, subsequent suppressive hormonal therapy, and radioiodine therapy provides a favorable prognosis in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. However, an insufficient response to radioiodine therapy may be possible, which may be associated with multiple factors, including the preparation step for radioiodine therapy. To date, the question of choosing the optimal method of patient preparation remains relevant. This paper presents a review of the scientific literature on the preparation of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer for radioiodine therapy. The principles of preparation are based on the recommendations of leading expert societies, and publications related to this topic are highlighted and summarized, including the adverse events associated with radioiodine therapy, quality of life, efficacy, and long-term results of treatment. The main purpose of this review was to provide a comprehensive insight into the methods of preparing a patient with differentiated thyroid cancer for radioiodine therapy, highlight existing problems and promising areas of research, and modernize treatment toward personalized therapy. Scientific articles and reviews from the National Library of Medicine, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases, published up to the end of January 2023, were searched by the keywords listed below in their various combinations. Recommendations from the following scientific communities were used: Russian Clinical Guidelines for Differentiated Thyroid Cancer, American Thyroid Association, European Thyroid Association, National Comprehensive Cancer Network, European Association of Nuclear Medicine, British Thyroid Association, and European Society for Medical Oncology. Articles not available in full, not in English or Russian, or systematic reviews of a similar topic, were excluded. In total, 124 sources were selected and analyzed, general tendencies of modern approaches to preparation for radioiodine therapy and actual problems were highlighted, concepts of optimization of preparation for radioiodine therapy within the framework of personalized therapy were covered, and results and conclusions were presented.
