Teoria ator-rede e educação matemática: traduzindo inscrições associadas ao conhecimento matemático para o ensino
Authors: Almeida Diego Góes , Santana Flávia Cristina de Macêdo
Published: October 2024

Este ensaio teórico visa analisar como a Teoria Ator-Rede (TAR) pode contribuir para as pesquisas na área da Educação Matemática, conjecturando o conceito de inscrição por meio do Conhecimento Matemático para o Ensino (CME). Tomamos como referência a TAR, desenvolvida por Bruno Latour e colaboradores, com o intuito de discutir a relação entre humanos e não humanos no viés do CME. Esse termo que vem sendo debatido para permear como um professor faz uso da Matemática no ensino e se diferencia de como outros profissionais a utilizam em suas respectivas tarefas. Para tal discussão, mapeamos as associações entre a TAR e o CME, buscando evidenciar o conceito de inscrição. Concluímos que tanto os humanos quanto os não humanos podem desenvolver procedimentos de inscrição, criar parâmetros que permitam ordenar diferentes relações matemáticas, relações estas que visam à estabilização de redes sociotécnicas, e formar um número cada vez maior de agregados e aliados heterogêneos.

Mobilizamos aspectos do PQM, mais especificamente, condições e restrições, identificadas a partir de conclusões relativas à formação continuada com o grupo de professores e dos estudos sobre o Percurso de Estudo e Pesquisa, analisados por meio das dialéticas Questão/Resposta, Mídia/Meio e Coletivo/Individual. Essas análises também nos auxiliaram na finalização do Modelo Epistemológico de Referência e na proposta de ensino iniciada juntamente com os integrantes do grupo de estudos.
Tumor Cytobiology of IGF-1R in Breast Tumor Activation and Propagation; And the Role of Celecoxib in its Inhibition
Authors: Akl Maher Monir. , Ahmed Amr
Published: October 2024

The Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF-1R) stands as a central orchestrator in cellular signaling, governing pivotal processes encompassing growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Its aberrant activation is intricately intertwined with the pathogenesis and progression of breast cancer, a heterogeneous disease presenting formidable clinical challenges. Amidst the burgeoning landscape of therapeutic interventions, Celecoxib, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), has emerged as a promising candidate for targeting the dysregulated IGF-1R pathway. This review delineates the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying Celecoxib's modulation of the IGF-1R pathway, elucidating its pharmacokinetic properties and therapeutic implications in breast cancer management. Celecoxib exerts inhibitory effects on IGF-1R through multifaceted molecular interactions, impeding receptor activation and downstream signaling cascades pivotal for tumor proliferation and metastasis. Furthermore, it regulates IGF-1R expression at both transcriptional and translational levels, exerting nuanced control over cellular responses. Moreover, Celecoxib's therapeutic impact transcends mere IGF-1R inhibition, as it potentiates pro-apoptotic pathways and disrupts tumor-permissive microenvironments. A nuanced understanding of Celecoxib's pharmacokinetic profile is imperative, considering its sustained and targeted inhibition of IGF-1R signaling, and its potential synergistic effects in combinatorial therapeutic regimens for breast cancer. This comprehensive elucidation underscores the paramount importance of deciphering Celecoxib's intricate molecular interplay with the IGF-1R pathway, heralding novel avenues for precision medicine and tailored therapeutic interventions in the management of breast cancer.

Published: October 2024

This study aims to assess public awareness and stakeholder influence in implementing renewable energy projects in Sulawesi, Indonesia, focusing on the districts of Jeneponto, Pangkep, Polewali Mandar, and Majene. We employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to provide a comprehensive analysis. The data collected includes responses from 400 residents across the selected districts and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, including government officials, NGO representatives, and private sector actors. The results indicate that public awareness of renewable energy technologies and policies is generally low, with only 27% of respondents demonstrating basic knowledge. Awareness levels were particularly low in rural areas, where over 70% of respondents were unfamiliar with renewable energy initiatives. The study also found significant correlations between demographic factors, such as education and income levels, and awareness, suggesting that targeted educational campaigns are necessary. In terms of stakeholder influence, the study highlights the challenges faced in implementing renewable energy projects, including financial constraints and regulatory complexities. Despite these challenges, there are opportunities for enhancing renewable energy adoption through multi-sectoral collaboration and culturally adapted strategies. This research’s novelty lies in its comprehensive approach, which integrates public perception with stakeholder dynamics, as well as its focus on a regionally specific context within Indonesia, offering practical recommendations for accelerating the renewable energy transition in similar developing regions. This study also provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to bridge the gap between policy and practice in renewable energy adoption.

The nexus between economic, demographic, policy and human development in South Africa: An econometric analysis
Authors: Maponya Lethabo , Ogujiuba Kanayo , Stiegler Nancy
Published: October 2024

The Human Development Index, which accounts for both net foreign income and the total value of goods and services generated domestically, illustrates how income becomes less significant as Gross National Income (GNI) rises by using the logarithm of income. South Africa ranks 109th out of 189 countries in the Human Development Index (HDI) within the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) economic bloc, raising long-term sustainability concerns. The study explores the relationship between economic, demography, policy indicators and human development in South Africa. South Africa’s unique status as a developing country within the BRICS economic group, alongside its lengthy history of racial discrimination, calls for a sophisticated approach to understanding Human Development. Existing research considered economic, demography, policy indicators independently; the gap of understanding their interconnection and long-term effects in the South African contexts exists. The study addresses the gap by using Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to investigate the short-term and the long-term relationship between economic, demography, policy indicators and human development in South Africa. By discovering these links, the study hopes to provide useful insights for policymakers seeking to promote sustainable human development in South Africa. The findings indicate that growth in GDP is a key factor in the HDI since it shows that there are more financial resources available for human development. By discovering these links, the study hopes to provide useful insights for policymakers seeking to promote sustainable human development in South Africa.
Relevance and legal background of tourist guiding in Hungary
Authors: Kundi Viktória
Published: October 2024

The profession of tourist guide has recently been subject to a significant loss of prestige in Hungary. There have been many career leavers who have been prevented from working due to an unregulated legal framework or a lack of government support during and in the post-COVID-19 period. The first problem - an ineffective and poorly regulated regulatory environment - has led to a significant increase in unauthorised tourism-related activities, undermining the reputation of the profession. As a result of the unregulated legal environment, the country - and Budapest in particular - is losing significant revenue and the situation is damaging the city’s image. Today, personal knowledge and experience are likely to be rendered worthless by the development of new technologies, tools and fast-paced lifestyles. Many people do not even know who exactly a tourist guide is, what their duties are and what regulations apply to their activities, despite the fact that tourist guides spend a lot of quality time with tourists visiting our country, providing them with information and acquainting them with our traditions. The transfer of value, which is the essence of their activity, is an important factor in shaping the image of the country and the perception of Hungary by visitors. Most people may not be aware of the remarkable difference between a qualified and licensed guide and an unqualified and unlicensed guide. The former presents a place authentically. This study aims to present the legal and professional background of this activity and the importance of this work in the light of current regulations, highlighting the important role of guides in the transmission of values today. It also focuses on the main changes and reactions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the uncertainties and concerns created by the legislative background. In order to illustrate the unique situation in Hungary, regulatory procedures and tourist management practices are also covered.
A Study on the Systematic Status of Freedom of Conscience and Its Guarantee
Authors:   Korean Association of International Association of Constitutional Law, Son Sang-sik
Published: October 2024

Freedom of conscience is free to make ethical and moral judgments, but freedom of thought is the freedom to pursue other reasons for everything else, including this. And if faith is understood as a religious belief, conscience is an ethical belief, so the two are distinct. When freedom of conscience and freedom of religion compete, if the controversial issue of conscience is closely related to religious issues, it should be dealt with from the perspective of religious freedom.
Freedom of conscience primarily imposes an obligation on legislators to form a legal order to ensure freedom of conscience. When the task of protecting freedom of conscience cannot be solved by legislators, law enforcement officials should actively consider the possibility of alternative obligations or alternative actions in a conscience-friendly way when interpreting and applying general provisions or uncertain concepts.
Conscientious objection to military service is not an active attack on the legal order of the social community, but a passive and defensive act to protect one's conscience. Even if their decision to refuse military service does not match the values of the majority of the national community, under the constitutional order that guarantees freedom of conscience as a fundamental right, it is not an antisocial act that requires immediate imposition of punishment, the most powerful means.
Therefore, if conscientious objectors are allowed to engage in work that contributes to the public interest in places such as fire fighting facilities and correctional facilities, they can have a more practical effect on the security of the modern country in a broader sense than simply accepting them as criminals in prison.
The enactment and enforcement of the Alternative Service Act does not mean that all conscientious military service issues have been resolved. We should not always be vigilant because this may cause another problem of conscience. And in order to prevent alternative service from becoming another social stigma, awareness of minorities should be improved.
The ratio-covariety of numerical semigroups having maximal embedding dimension with fixed multiplicity and Frobenius number
Authors: Moreno Frias Maria Angeles , Rosales José Carlos
Published: October 2024

In this paper we will show that $\MED(F,m)=\{S\mid S \mbox{ is a numeri-}\\
\mbox{cal semigroup with maximal embedding dimension, Frobenius number $F$ and }\\ \mbox{multiplicity }m\}$ is a ratio-covariety. As a consequence, we present two algorithms: one that computes $\MED(F,m)$ and another one that calculates the elements of $\MED(F,m)$ with a given genus.

If $X\subseteq S\backslash (\langle m \rangle \cup \{F+1,\rightarrow\})$ for some $S\in \MED(F,m)$, then there exists the smallest element of $\MED(F,m)$ containing $X$. This element will be denoted by $\MED(F,m)[X]$ and we will say that $X$ one of its $\MED(F,m)$-system of generators. We will prove that every element $S$ of $\MED(F,m)$ has a unique minimal $\MED(F,m)$-system of generators and it will be denoted by $\MED(F,m)\msg(S).$ The cardinality of $\MED(F,m)\msg(S)$, will be called $\MED(F,m)$-$\rank$ of $S.$ We will also see in this work, how all the elements of $\MED(F,m)$ with a fixed $\MED(F,m)$-$\rank$ are.

The Neotropical genus Hooperella Vercammen-Grandjean comprises four valid species, which are primarily found as parasites of bats. Currently, only Hooperella vesperuginis has been recorded in Brazil. In this study, we provide a comprehensive redescription of H. saccopteryx, incorporating data from the type series and newly identified specimens. These new specimens were only identified after a thorough examination of the types. We have included measurements of all seven leg segments, the opisthosoma ventral and sternal setae, which were not previously recorded. Notably, we observed differences in the number of specialized setae (σ) on the genu of leg I. Furthermore, this examination marks the first record of H. saccopteryx in Brazil.
Internet Content Application of International Copyright Law
Authors: Pruthi Sandeep
Published: October 2024

Copyright ownership of literary or artistic work has been delineated through international laws for over three hundred years. The nature and design of reproduction methods implicating technology from the printing press to data file storage has been an important aspect of recording an original author ownership within this context. The interconnected computer system of the internet relates important issues of jurisdiction, identification of ownership, enforcement of ownership claims, and possible conflicting parameters in the international scenario of file data file storage and transmission. The feasibility of showing a direct traceable injury that can be redressed within sound and video or image formats of files and within live or recorded media is a significant factor in cases that have been filed with changes in future approach to these cases being a valuable aspect to plaintiffs.
Social Media or Social Utility Company? Dissecting the False Dichotomy between Common Carrier and Editorial Discretion Analyses in Social Media Regulation
Authors: Teuton Robert Saavedra
Published: October 2024

This paper analyzes the circuit split between the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits. The Fifth Circuit held that social media platforms can be regulated as common carriers—and are therefore limited in their ability to indiscriminately censure their users—while the Eleventh Circuit held just the opposite in that social media platforms enjoy inherent constitutional rights to editorial discretion in who they censure. However, both courts erroneously apply a misleading analysis, a false dichotomy; social media platforms are neither complete common carriers nor enjoy complete, inherently protected constitutional rights to editorial discretion. This paper articulates why and frames the issue in a way the Supreme Court would find receptive (using originalist arguments), analyzes the circuit split, and provides additional arguments for why the Court should uphold state attempts at regulating social media platforms.
Human Vision as A Multi-Circuit Mathematical Model of the Automated Control System
Authors: Szczebiot Ryszard , Kaczyński Roman , Gołdyn Leszek
Published: October 2024

The paper contains a proposal an original, extended mathematical model of an automatic system of human vision reaction to a forcing light pulse. A comprehensive mathematical model of the vision process was proposed in the form of an equation described in the frequency (dynamics) domain. Mathematical modelling of human senses is very important. It enables better integration of automation systems with a human cooperating with them, also as an automation system. This provides the basis for reasoning based on a mathematical model instead of intuitive reasoning about human reactions to visual stimuli. A block diagram of the proposed system with five human reaction paths is given. The following can be distinguished in the scheme: the main track consisting of: the transport delay of the eye reaction, the transport delay of the afferent nerves, the inertia of the brain with a preemptive action, the transport delay of the centrifugal nerves and the inertial and transport delay of the neuromotor system. In addition, the scheme of the system includes four tracks of negative feedback of motor and force reactions: upper eyelid, lower eyelid, pupil and lens. In the proposed model, the components of each path along with their partial mathematical models are given and discussed. For each reaction path, their overall mathematical models are also given. Taking into account the comprehensive models of all five reaction paths, a complete mathematical model of the automatic system of human reaction to a forcing light impulse is proposed. The proposed mathematical model opens up many possibilities for synchronizing it with mathematical models of many mechatronics and automation systems and their research. Optimizing the parameters of this model and its synchronization with specific models of automation systems is difficult and requires many numerical experiments. This approach enables the design of automation systems that are better synchronized with human reactions to existing stimuli and the selection of optimal parameters of their operation already in the design phase. The proposed model allows, for example, accurate determination of difficulty levels in computer games. Another example of the use of the proposed model is the study of human reactions to various situations generated virtually, for example in flight simulators and other similar ones.
Context-aware early warning method for monitoring business flow anomalies in transmission grid construction based on context-awareness
Authors: Li Zhihang , Cao Ning , You Wang
Published: October 2024

Based on context-aware theory, this paper proposes an online anomaly detection and warning method for multi-angle transmission grid construction business processes. The business process model for transmission grid construction is constructed using a Petri net, and the data is preprocessed. The context in the business event log is initially refined, and the data in the model training is labeled using the supervised learning method. The sliding window Euclidean distance model is applied to build an anomaly detection model for the transmission grid construction business process, and the data is filtered by mean value aggregation to obtain the threshold value for anomaly monitoring and to realize anomaly detection and warning. This paper’s anomaly detection and early warning model is applied to carry out transmission grid construction business flow optimization practice in the G Power Supply Bureau of Yunnan Province, China. Since the optimization in June, the timeliness and accuracy of material matching of G Power Supply Bureau have been stable at more than 90%, and the execution rate of the operation plan and on-time completion rate of billing have also been maintained at a high level of about 95%. The number of cancellations and adjustments to transmission network construction operations has decreased from 20% to 30% to less than 7%, and the overall satisfaction score of transmission network construction business processes has reached 4.15.
Research on the Teaching Effect of Virtual Reality Technology in Simulating Ethnic Vocal Performance Environment
Authors: Wu Xuan
Published: October 2024

As an important part of Chinese culture, ethnic vocal music culture contains rich cultural and historical connotations and fully embodies the national spirit of a nation. As an important place of education, schools integrate traditional music culture into the school music curriculum. The dissemination of traditional music culture plays an important role in the inheritance. In this paper, we use 3D animation and 3D roaming to construct the virtual environment of the national vocal performance environment as well as the content of the music curriculum, adopting the concepts related to the classical scene to the contradictory space to realize the scene interaction. The DBSCAN algorithm is used to preprocess the vector data collected from geographic, remote sensing and topological vectors. Texture, lighting, and shadow effects are added to the scene rendering to enhance the realism of virtual reality interactions. Monte Carlo simulation is employed to denoise the generated virtual scene and optimize the environmental scene of ethnic vocal performance. Evaluating the effect of teaching use of the model, students’ motivation to learn ethnic vocal music was improved compared to the pre-test. The average difference between the pre and post-tests was 1.6102. The P-value of the sample test for each question item was 0, which is less than 0.05, indicating that students’ motivation to learn ethnic vocal music has undergone a significant change. In the teaching feedback, the number of students whose cognitive level of ethnic vocal music reaches level 2 or 3 is 148 in total, accounting for more than 90% of the total number of students, and the teaching of the simulated performance environment improves the student’s ability to feel and other abilities of ethnic vocal music to a certain extent.

Published: October 2024

Intelligent manufacturing requires the full use of modern information technology in traditional production scenarios, and assembly line workshops also need intelligent industrial upgrading in production management. To this end, this paper proposes a time series-based evaluation study of the state of equipment in an assembly line workshop. Through the theoretical analysis of the characteristics of assembly line workshop equipment state data, time series data mining technology is used to collect research and analysis data, which is then pre-processed. The differential autoregressive average model is used to construct the assembly line workshop equipment state evaluation model, and the simulation analysis of the assembly line workshop equipment state is carried out by combining the corresponding parameters with the research data. The data shows that the MAPE value of the ARIMA model for equipment failure is −0.0706%, which is more significant compared to the prediction effect of the traditional CNN model. In addition, the error range of the ARIMA model prediction of equipment state parameters of the assembly line workshop is 0.01~0.02. This study can accurately assess the equipment state of the assembly line workshop and lay the foundation for its intelligent transformation.

The current artificial intelligence technology has been widely used in various fields of adult education and plays an important role in improving the comprehensive ability of students. This paper examines the multi-dimensional AI adult education management, focusing on the impact of AI on both adult education management and student cultivation. It collects data through the distribution of questionnaires and then formulates an evaluation index system to measure this impact. The study focuses on colleges and universities that implement AI technology in a specific region. The overall questionnaire scores were first explored through statistical analysis, then the assessment model of AI-driven effects was established using structural equations, and finally, the model was validated to obtain the AI-driven effects on adult education management and student cultivation. The evaluation indicators’ mean values for the five first-level dimensions are all above 3, and artificial intelligence has a positive impact on adult education management and student cultivation. Applications for assessment and evaluation, as well as management support, significantly influence the evaluation of the driving effect, with all weights exceeding 0.2. Private colleges and universities have a better AI driving effect (0.821). The current application of artificial intelligence in education management is still in the exploratory and experimental stages, and it is necessary to improve the technical means and management programs to promote high-quality and efficient education development.
The Role and Development of Industrial Internet Platforms in the Digital Transformation of the Tobacco Industry
Authors: Zhou Yan , Wang Yuchao
Published: October 2024

The tobacco industry, akin to traditional manufacturing, exhibits a high level of integration. The tobacco industrial Internet platform combines information from the tobacco industry, is able to efficiently interact with and process data, and plays a vital role in the transformation and development of the tobacco industry’s digitalization. Based on an analysis of the current state of digital transformation in the tobacco industry, we designed the tobacco industrial Internet platform. This platform primarily relies on the core of the information physical system (CPS), the industrial Internet of Things, and the production and manufacturing simulation system. It offers functions such as production preview, real-time simulation, and comprehensive life cycle management of production equipment. After putting the industrial Internet platform designed in this paper to the test in the tobacco industry, the amount of sewage from the tobacco boiler during production went down by 0.32 tons, and the amount of energy used to make cigarettes went down by 5.07 m³/box from before the platform was used to after it was used. This shows that the tobacco industrial Internet platform proposed in this paper is a good way to improve quality and efficiency, cut down on energy use, and improve the production of tobacco. This demonstrates that the implementation of the tobacco industrial Internet platform in this paper significantly enhances quality, reduces consumption, and conserves energy in tobacco production.
Research on abnormal access control of database management system under cloud computing platform
Authors: Qian Jianguo , Que Lingyan , Lu Min , Fu Quan , Feng Yuan
Published: October 2024

Access control is a security technique that can restrict access to protected resources, and data to only authorized users. In this paper, we design a blockchain-based access control scheme for cloud storage that is enabled by revocation. First, initialize blockchain to generate global parameters, generate complete user encryption keys and decryption keys, and perform data encryption. When the blockchain receives a user’s access request, the authorization contract determines if it is on the revocation list. If not, the key is checked. Then, it determines abnormal access and adds its identity to the revocation list, preventing further access to the database. The access control model is created by combining attribute-based encryption. After the security analysis and operational efficiency test, it can be considered that the model meets the security features, such as IND-CPA security. Regarding the time overhead of generating encryption keys, the computational overhead of this paper is the lowest, and the time required to generate encryption keys for 10 attributes is only 0.09 seconds, and for 100 attributes is only 1.62 seconds, which is better than the performance of the two attribute-based access control schemes, FIFC and AACE. The user access time overhead for 10 to 100 attributes at user encryption time is 1.38, 1.56, 1.98, 2.1, 2.53, 2.76, 3.03, 3.27, 3.66, and 3.94 seconds, respectively. The lowest decryption time consumed ensures data security and a good access experience. This study achieves fine-grained access control while protecting data privacy.

Published: October 2024

Vigorously developing new textile material technology is critical to improving the textile industry's high-tech level, upgrading its transformation, promoting high-quality development of the real economy, and enhancing the country's overall power. This paper analyzes patent technology to explore new textile material technology layout characteristics and evolution trends for the strategic basis of industrial transformation and development on a global scale. The research took new textile material technology patents as the research object, constructed 76,373 invention application patent data pools in China, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and the United States, and analysed new textile material technology structural characteristics and their evolution trend from three aspects of patent structure, layout characteristics and evolutions. As a result, it was found that the development plans and target focuses of textile new material technology vary from country to country. Global enterprises in garments, advanced material production, and chemical materials, represented by DuPont, 3M, and Dow Global Technologies, provide an important guarantee for the United States in maintaining its global leadership position in the development of the new textile material industry. Japan pays more attention to the practicality of new materials and considers the coordinated development of the environment and resources. Europe and South Korea focus on the construction of industrial clusters with their own characteristics, establish and improve the industrial standardization system based on core technology and core manufacturing, and maintain global competitiveness in textile new material technology. After 2009, the number of patent applications for new textile material technology in China exceeded that of Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, becoming a global patent power. However, there is still a huge gap between the quality of patents and the layout of new cutting-edge materials in China and those in developed countries such as the United States and Japan, which is the main problem that needs to be solved urgently in the future innovation and development of China's textile industry, technology planning and layout.
Unrealised Projects of the Christ’s Resurrection Church Competition in Kaunas 1928–1930
Authors: Slaminskienė Silvija
Published: October 2024

The object of this article is the monumental Christ’s Resurrection Church, one of the most famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kaunas. The competition for its architectural design was announced in 1928, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Lithuania. Competition and projects have been publicly criticised. The awards were given, but the design after the competition was entrusted to the third prize-winning architect Karolis Reisonas. However, his new design was not implemented, and the present church was built according to another project by the same architect. As a monument to the nation, the church was completed in 1940. However, it was consecrated only on 26 December 2004, after the Kaunas Radio Factory, which had been in operation for almost the entire Soviet occupation, had moved out of the building. For a long time, architectural studies attributed the authorship of the church design to the architect Karolis Reisonas. However, the question of authorship is problematic. Recent studies have attributed the high artistic level of building architecture to collective creative work. The research was carried out using historical-analytical and stylistic methods.

So far, competition projects for the Christ’s Resurrection Church have not been thoroughly analysed in Lithuanian art studies. The reasons for their non-implementation were not studied in detail, and the problem of the authorship of the final design is an unexplored topic. The article aims to supplement and clarify existing knowledge about the Christ’s Resurrection Church project competition. By reviewing the objectives, processes, and results of the competition, we assessed for the first time the unimplemented projects in a more coherent and detailed way, showing the different stylistic approaches of the architects and engineers to the task of designing the church, the criticisms that were made of the projects and the reasons why the standing building differs from the award-winning project and the implemented project of Reisonas that was prepared after the competition. The study showed how the idea of independence of the Republic of Lithuania in the monumental Christ’s Resurrection Church mobilised the public and actively involved them in the architectural design of the church. Criticism from the public and the architectural community of the prize-winning projects led to an unexpected artistic result in the final project, a modernist church created after the competition. Architects and other Lithuanian artists who were not awarded in the competition or did not participate also contributed to the final architectural design we see today.
Architectural Modernisation in Panevėžys During the 1930s: Exploring the Works of Civil Engineer Antanas Gargasas
Authors: Vilkončius Evaldas
Published: October 2024

In contemporary studies of Lithuanian interwar architecture, so far the greatest attention is paid to the analysis of the architectural development and modernization processes that took place in the city of Kaunas, the temporary capital of the country at the time. The work of architectural specialists who worked there is also analysed more. However, at the same time, little is known about the development of architecture created in the smaller cities of Lithuania at that time and its modernization. Thus, this article aims to more thoroughly reveal and analyse the processes of modernization of Panevėžys city architecture that took place in the 1930s, choosing the designs of Antanas Gargasas, who worked there as a municipal engineer in 1931–1940, as the research object. This is done in the article by analysing and presenting the majority of his designed public buildings and the most significant and typical residential buildings. The article, which was written based on archival material, the press of the research period and the contemporary studies of the interwar architecture, contains an assumption that the buildings designed by Antanas Gargasas had a significant influence on the processes of modernization of the Panevėžys architecture at that time and the spread of new stylistic trends in it. The article is supplemented by the drawings and photos of the buildings designed by the engineer.
Age Affects Genetic Gain Estimates in Pinus taeda L. Progeny Tests

In forest tree breeding, genetic gain is often estimated from progeny tests at juvenile ages comparing the performance of specific families against a non-improved checklot. This study evaluated the effects of progeny test age on genetic gain estimates in Pinus taeda L. Growth, disease, and stem quality traits were assessed at ages 4, 6, 8, and 12 years across 103 trials planted in the southeastern United States. Results showed that heritability estimates generally increased with age, particularly for growth traits and stem straightness. Breeding values for height and volume increased over time, with stable rankings, while fusiform rust disease incidence (caused by the fungus Cronartium quercuum f. sp. fusiforme) remained consistent. Stem straightness exhibited less stability. Mean age-to-age correlations of breeding values were high for height (0.81-0.95), volume (0.76-0.96), and rust (0.81-0.95) but were slightly lower for straightness (0.67-0.89). Genetic gain for volume and straightness showed a significant upward trend over ages for a large number of parents. For height, about half of the parents showed a positive change in gain, whereas for fusiform rust disease, more than half showed a decrease in gain over time. The study underscores the importance of considering measurement age in progeny tests, as it impacts genetic gain estimates and selection decisions. Findings suggest that while early measurements accelerate gain per year in breeding cycles, older measurements for growth and stem quality traits provide more reliable estimates of gain for deployment. The linear relationship between gain estimates from older ages can be used to rescale gains at younger ages.
