"Alternative moral policy": the Tianxia system and its development
Authors:   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Zhang Shuchun
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The Chinese concept of Tianxia as a theory of political philosophy is analyzed on the basis of the main thoughts of two main representatives-philosophers - Zhao Tingyang and Xu Jiulin. As representatives of “hard” and “soft” Tianxiaists, Zhao and Xu offer different solutions to existing problems, developing an ancient concept. The purpose of the study is to present and analyze the concept of Tianxia as a philosophical doctrine with a focus on its logical structure and conceptual system. Methods. The hermeneutic method was used to examine the philosophical concepts of the philosopher being studied and criticize his theory. Scientific novelty of the research. The topic under study shows a close connection with modern realities, especially in the context of the fact that modern Chinese philosophy is discussed quite rarely in Russian science. When writing the article, the latest scientific works of researchers were used, which made it possible to obtain a broader view with a focus on different scientific traditions. Results. The main assumptions of the two philosophers are analyzed. Based on the analysis, we came to the conclusion that the Tianxia system, as a rethinking of the old Chinese concept against the backdrop of globalization, contains many ambiguities and contradictions that require further development. As Zhao suggests, his Tianxia system as a “political epistemology” with peace as the supporting political unit strives to resolve conflicts through a policy of “turning enemies into friends.” As he believes, “real politics” should not lead to conflicts and struggle, but solve existing problems; therefore political theory is needed precisely to create an order of stability and coexistence. Culturologist Xu, in turn, sees the main task in modernizing the Tianxia theory - eliminating the centrism and hierarchy of the old Tianxia system and presents his version called “neo-Tianxiaism.” He believes that this modern version of Tianxia represents certain universal and supranational values, on the basis of which all participating parties in the system can develop mutually beneficial friendly relations and achieve stability. Based on hermeneutic and comparative analysis, we found that the main tenets of Tianxiaism, consisting of inclusiveness, non-nationality, equality and “friendship,” are contradicted by assumptions and elements from the traditional understanding of Tianxia, such as the leading role of China itself in creating this order, the universality of Chinese traditional (which are, in fact, national) values and the “wrongness” of Western political theories. The author identifies terminological and conceptual uncertainties, which can be characterized as “internal conflicts” of the system.
The Impact of Clinical Parameters on LSTM-based Blood Glucose Estimate in Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: Sunandha Rajagopal  , N. Thangarasu
Published: December 2024

Accurate forecasting of blood sugar levels is essential for managing diabetes, especially Type-1 reducing incidences, and diminishing care, costs in patients. In this study, a Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network (LSTM) model has been employed to predict blood glucose levels using clinical data. The research focuses on identifying and analyzing several key parameters that play a significant role in determining future blood glucose levels, ensuring a robust and reliable prediction framework. We have considered patient-specific features: Insulin-Sensitivity-Factor (ISF), total daily dose (TDD) of insulin, HbA1C levels, height and weight of a patient, and age and gender while analyzing the prediction performance for Blood Glucose. We thought training LSTM models on a large dataset and studying the most important predictors with their predictive power would be beneficial. The results indicate that including these clinical parameters improves the accuracy of blood glucose prediction and provides valuable information for individuals to control diabetes.  This analysis highlights the efficiency of LSTM networks in making use of patient data to improve prediction models, eventually aiding more effective and individualized treatment strategies for Type 1 diabetic patients (T1D). This work also examines the extent to which each parameter influences the prediction of future blood glucose levels, providing deeper insights into their relative impact and significance in the predictive model.

The research was conducted with a qualitative approach, marked by contextualist, processual and longitudinal aspects (Pettigrew, 1987; Miller e Friesen, 1982), based in Direct Research (Mintzberg e McHugh, 1985) and Grounded Theory (Glaser e Strauss, 1967). It has not the aim to generalize the results, trying only to present elements that help to explain the organizational strategic adaptation’s process.

The metal-composite structural joints remain a challenge for the design and analysis of aeronautical structures. This paper consists on a new methodology for analysis of metal-composite joints joined by fasteners. Thus, joints made of titanium joined to composite (carbon fiber with epoxy resin) by monel fasteners were investigated. It is important to mention that only single lap joints were analyzed. However, before manufacturing specimens of joints, composite specimens were tested following the ASTM D3039 and ASTM D3518. The tensile and shear tests provided the mechanical properties and strength values of the composite part. Finite element analyses of the joints were carried out, using average mechanical properties and strength values. These simulations followed the specifications of ASTM D5961 in order to predict the mechanical behavior of the joints during the experimental tests, as well as, to provide good strategy for the test setup. The experimental tests were carried out using geometry specifications of ASTM D5961 (composite-composite joints), and procedure established by the Secondary Module Method of MIL-HDBK-5J (metal-metal joints). Therefore, a new methodology was proposed for testing metal-composite joints. Joints with the composite layers oriented by 0°/90° failed by net-tension, while the joints with composite layers oriented ±45° failed by tear-out. Thus, the experimental method proposal not only provides an effective approach to obtain the mechanical properties of metal-composite joints, but also shows the failure mode of the joint.

A High Performance Team is created and kept, according to the theoretical assumptions on this work, by a High Performance Work System (HPWS). Although this topic has been studied for more than five decades by researchers from different fields (mainly administration), their concepts are not consensual and mainly, there are few observations on this topic in the Portuguese language. The proposal of this study, a case study, focus on exploring both concepts reported in two Brazilian Air Force organizations: the ‘Air Demonstration Squadron’ (EDA) and the ‘Arara Squadron’. This research has a theoretical approach, gathering what lecturers from many fields have been finding out and stating about the HPWS, reporting them in Portuguese. According to the studied bibliography, it was possible to select some elements present in a HPWS to compare the two squadrons: commitment, team work and personnel management. Then a questionnaire was applied to all the military personnel in both studied organizations. All the hypothesis for the survey were formulated pre-assuming the EDA as a High Performance Team. Not all of those features were confirmed, showing that although the EDA is under many analyses different from the ‘Arara Squadron’, they cannot be defined as a true High Performance Team. All in all, the opportunity of surveying the team and reporting their characteristics is a manner to improve diagnosis for new proposals for high performance.
Análise de Predição em Conformidade com a Inspeção Baseada em Risco (IBR)

From the development of the Marlin field in the Campos Basin in the 90s, there was a large increase in the installation of floating production by PETROBRAS. Due to the difficulties of adapting the inspection programs, typical of oil tankers, the units of the Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO), began to occur long periods of unavailability of cargo tanks. Furthermore, with the fleet expansion, began to notice a difficulty in meeting the inspection programs of the hull. With the inevitable aging of the fleet, as well as previous life conversion, the particularities of each unit, the Inspection Based Risk (IBR) is presented as a necessary tool to avoid restrictions on oil production on the Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) in deep water. However, this study has the objective of presenting an analysis to predict the RBI in order to submit a process improvement, based on models adapted in the airline industry. Thus, it is intended to provide a more accurate analysis of the results. Because we adopt predictive analytics for possible preventive inspections with the ultimate goal of increasing the Time Limit of Life (TLV) of the structure. Aiming to deliver results as: reduction of uncertainties, identifying breakdowns due to structural deterioration, reduced maintenance costs, plan more efficiently and especially to prevent the stoppage of oil production, because it is a platform that produces and storing oil in its cargo tanks, which is why, might cause a major problem facing the strategic and financial resources in oil exploration.
Desvendando a Inércia Administrativa em uma Organização Pública:

This research has the objective of identifying the main problems in the administration of a public organization, according to a manager’s perspective. Thus, the ontological base is the interpretive paradigm (Morgan, 1980) and it used the epistemology suggested by (Seidman, 1998 ) for the data collection per three interviews. In this way, the discovered problems were grouped in four topics: organizational culture, human resources, work routines and physical structure. The relationship between the problems takes to the following consequences: knowledge loss, excessive working mistakes, chronological delays and the creation of a cycle called administrative inertia, which results in a decrease of the activity level, hindering any reaction of the organization.

Flying became such a convenient way of travelling because it is easy, quick and safe. According to the Canadian Pediatric Society, each year 1 billion people fly anywhere around the world and it has been reported that the number of passengers under 12 years of age increased in airplane trips. The exposure of healthy children and others with respiratory conditions to low partial pressure ambient increased in the last 20 years. The risk of hypoxia is greater in this population because of its specific anatomy and physiology that can lead to possible ventilationperfusion mismatch, vasoconstriction and bronchospasm. This article consists of a review of the literature and it aims to analyze the physiological and clinical implications related to commercial flights of chronic lung diseases in children under 12 years of age; to identify which of them may restrain or contraindicate this activity and to discuss the use of oxygen in-flight. We conclude that there are few absolute contraindications. However, current studies portray no scientific evidence. So, a rigorous fly assessment is necessary to promote security. Pediatricians are therefore responsible for an adequate clinical history and recommendations.
