Optical neuromorphic processing with soliton crystal Kerr microcombs: Scaling the network in size and speed
Authors: Moss David
Published: January 2022

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), inspired by biological visual cortex systems, are a powerful category of artificial neural networks that can extract the hierarchical features of raw data to greatly reduce the network parametric complexity and enhance the predicting accuracy. They are of significant interest for machine learning tasks such as computer vision, speech recognition, playing board games and medical diagnosis [1-7]. Optical neural networks offer the promise of dramatically accelerating computing speed to overcome the inherent bandwidth bottleneck of electronics. Here, we demonstrate a universal optical vector convolutional accelerator operating beyond 10 Tera-OPS (TOPS - operations per second), generating convolutions of images of 250,000 pixels with 8-bit resolution for 10 kernels simultaneously — enough for facial image recognition. We then use the same hardware to sequentially form a deep optical CNN with ten output neurons, achieving successful recognition of full 10 digits with 900 pixel handwritten digit images with 88% accuracy. Our results are based on simultaneously interleaving temporal, wavelength and spatial dimensions enabled by an integrated microcomb source. We show that this approach is scalable and trainable to much more complex networks for demanding applications such as unmanned vehicle and real-time video recognition.Keywords: Optical neural networks, neuromorphic processor, microcomb, convolutional accelerator

Published: January 2022

This paper reviews the European Funding Programs impact on regional and economic development. The case study focuses on “Eastern Macedonia & Thrace” (EMTH) Region, a region in the nation of Greece. EMTH Region boasts a number of comparative advantages related to its strategic location, bordering Bulgaria on the North and Turkey on the East. In addition, EMTH Region is one of the regions in Greece with the lowest GDP per capita. Moreover, is a region of great importance with great existing transport infrastructure, widespread network of industrial areas, academic-R&D infrastructure & dynamics and many opportunities in the renewable energy sources. The purpose of the paper is the evaluation of the European Union Funding programs, highlighting and supporting the main target of these funding programs to force and enable a sustainable social and economic growth to the poorest European neighborhoods in order to achieve the average European Union prosperity. The framework analysis of the paper is based on an ex-post evaluation framework of the Regional Operational Programs that Greece and the “EMTH Region, have participated since Greece's entry into the European Union. The case study focused on some large European Support Regional Programs as the Mediterranean Integrated Programs (IMPs, 1986-1993), the 1st Community Support Framework (CSF I) (1989-1993), the 2nd Community Support Framework (CSF II) (1994-1999), the 3rd Community Support Framework (CSF) (2000 -2006) as well as the National Strategic Reference Frameworks (NSRF) (2007-2013) and (2014-2020).

Sexual function and problematic use of smartphones and social networking sites
Authors: Fuzeiro Vanessa , Martins Catarina , Gonçalves Cátia , Santos Ana Rolo , Costa Rui
Published: January 2022

IIntroduction. The use of social networking sites (SNS) sometimes acquires an addictive-like quality, often referred to as problematic use of SNS. This condition overlaps with problematic (addictive-like) use of smartphones, as the latter are commonly used for online social networking in addition to other activities that may gain addictive-like qualities. There is ample evidence that problematic use of smartphones and SNS is associated with poorer mental health, but research on associations with sexual function is scarce. Thus, we examined if sexual difficulties are related to problematic use of SNS and smartphones. Methods: Data from four studies conducted in Portugal were collapsed, resulting in 946 women and 235 men providing data on sexual function and problematic use of smartphones, and in 536 women and 194 men providing data on sexual function and problematic use of SNS. Female sexual function was assessed with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the Female Sexual Distress Scale – Revised (FSDS–R). Male sexual function was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). Problematic smartphone use was measured by the Smartphone Addiction Scale – Short Version (SAS–SV). Problematic use of SNS was measured by the Internet Addiction Scale (IAT) specifically adapted to online social networking.Results: In women, problematic use of smartphones and SNS correlated with lower sexual arousal, difficulties lubricating, difficulties having orgasms, coital pain, and greater sexual distress. Women´s problematic use of SNS correlated additionally with sexual dissatisfaction. In men, problematic use of smartphones and SNS correlated with lower erectile function. Men’s problematic use of SNS correlated additionally with lower desire, intercourse dissatisfaction, overall sexual dissatisfaction, and more difficulties having orgasms. In a subsample of 311 women and 94 men with data on use of smartphones and SNS, multiple regressions predicting sexual function domains from age, problematic smartphone use, and problematic use of SNS, were performed. In women, problematic use of SNS independently predicted lower arousal, dissatisfaction, pain, and more sexual distress. Problematic use of smartphones independently predicted more difficulties lubricating. In men, problematic use of SNS independently predicted lower erectile function, intercourse dissatisfaction, and overall dissatisfaction.Discussion: Addictive-like use of SNS might be a risk factor for sexual difficulties. Our findings corroborate previous research.

Published: January 2022

The Multiple Intelligence (MI) Theory has been recognised for its significance in education. This study aimed to provide a detailed examination of each intelligence and illustrate how different MIs work. The current study seeks to discover and link pre-service science teachers' numerous intellectual domains and learning style profiles. The survey method was used for the study, which included 150 pre-service science teachers. The “multiple intelligence domains inventory for educators” was utilised to collect data for the study. According to the findings, the use of MIs in science teaching is rarely mentioned, with the features of each intelligence in the context of the various science teaching methodologies. Further, the results indicated that the intelligences mentioned by Gardner could be found in the pre-service teachers in beginning their teaching. Logical-Mathematics was highly advanced among pre-service science teachers with the musical intelligence being the lowest. Gender differences were also found to exist between males and females in only two of the eight MIs, specifically, Logical-Mathematics and Visual-Spatial, which was also significant.

Using Physics-Informed Generative Adversarial Networks to Perform Super-Resolution for Multiphase Fluid Simulations
Authors: Li Matthew , McComb Christopher
Published: January 2022

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are useful to the field of engineering design as they provide deep insights on product or system performance without the need to construct and test physical prototypes. However, they can be very computationally intensive to run. Machine learning methods have been shown to reconstruct high- resolution single-phase turbulent fluid flow simulations from low-resolution inputs. This offers a potential avenue towards alleviating computational cost in iterative engineering design applications. However, little work thus far has explored the application of machine learning image super-resolution methods to multiphase fluid flow (which is important for emerging fields such as marine hydrokinetic energy conversion). In this work, we apply a modified version of the Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (SRGAN) model to a multiphase turbulent fluid flow problem, specifically to reconstruct fluid phase fraction at a higher resolution. Two models were created in this work, one which incorporates a physics-informed term in the loss function and one which does not, and the results are discussed and compared. We found that both models significantly outperform non-machine learning upsampling methods and can preserve a substantial amount of detail, showing the versatility of the SRGAN model for upsampling multi-phase fluid simulations. However, the difference in accuracy between the two models is minimal indicating that, in the context studied here, the additional complexity of a physics- informed approach may not be justified.

Authors: Lamichhane Sabina , Rai Sarina
Published: January 2022

The study examines the relationship among dividends, earnings and stock prices of Nepalese insurance companies. Market price per share and stock return are the dependent variables. The independent variables are earning per share, dividend per share, dividend payout ratio, PE ratio, return on assets and return on equity. This study is based on secondary data of 15 insurance companies with 105 observations for the period of 2011/12 to 2017/18. The data were collected from the annual reports of the selected insurance companies. The regression models are estimated to test the significance and importance of dividends, earnings and stock prices in Nepalese insurance companies.

The result shows that earning per share has a positive impact on market price per share and stock returns. It reveals that increase in earnings per share leads to increase in market price per share and stock returns. Similarly, PE ratio has a positive impact on market price per share and stock returns. It shows that increase in PE ratio leads to increase in market price per share and stock returns. Likewise, return on equity has a positive impact on market price per share and stock returns. Similarly, higher the return on equity, higher would be the market price per share and stock returns. The result also shows that dividend per share has a positive impact on market price per share. It indicates that increase in dividend per share leads to increase in market price per share. Similarly, dividend payout ratio has a positive impact on market price per share. It shows that increase in dividend payout ratio leads to increase in market price per share. Likewise, return on assets has a positive impact on stock return. It shows that higher the return on assets, higher would be the stock returns. However, dividend payout ratio has negative impact on stock return which reveals that higher the dividend payout ratio lower would be the stock return. Likewise, dividend per share has a negative impact on stock return which reveals that higher the dividend per share lower would be the stock return. Similarly, return on assets has negative impact on market price per share which reveals that higher the return on assets lower would be the market price per share.

Powrót pastora Haasego, czyli o problematyczności niemieckiego dziedzictwa i kształtowaniu się wielokierunkowej pamięci śląsko- -cieszyńskich ewangelików
Authors: Kubica Grażyna
Published: January 2022

The Lutheran community in Cieszyn Silesia is a perfect subject for memory studies within an anthropological approach, because it reveals the operation of complex mechanisms of memory work in a religious minority group strongly influenced by a nationalist discourse. In Poland, only Catholics are accepted as Poles in a way that is beyond doubt, and representatives of other denominations must constantly prove their Polishness. One of the results of this situation was concealment or erasure of the German heritage of Silesian Protestantism and appreciation (or even over-valuing) — of the Polish traditions. This is beginning to change. I analyze these processes, presenting the vicissitudes of commemoration of the figure of Theodor Haase (head of the Lutheran church in the Austrian times, social activist, German liberal politician). My empirical material comes from discussions with memory leaders of the Silesian-Cieszyn Lutheran community. I am trying to answer the question whether “the return of Pastor Haase” is a symptom of some change in the cultural memory of Silesian Lutherans and what are the causes of it (in a dominant culture). The theoretical framework for my project is is based on a critical engagement with the concept of cultural memory proposed by Jan and Aleida Assmann, as well as the concept of multidirectional memory of Michael Rothberg.
Restraining the Excesses of Liberalism
Authors: Diesen Glenn
Published: January 2022

After the Cold War, the “end of history” thesis was largely internalized and expressed with the assumption that the entire world would unify under liberal principles, which would be enforced under U.S. benign leadership. As the international distribution of power shifts and the relative power of the West steadily declines, the role of liberalism in domestic and international politics recedes. Western states have increasingly expressed their concern about the decline of the so-called “liberal international order.” This article argues that restraining the excesses of liberalism is a positive factor and a necessary correction. Unfettered, not self-corrected liberal ideology has blinded the West by the belief in its own righteousness. We have now reached the point where the current state of affairs no longer works.
Russia’s Dissociation from the Paris Charter-Based Order: Implications and Pitfalls
Authors: Polianskii Mikhail A.
Published: January 2022

The Ukraine crisis of 2014 marked the culmination of Russia’s dissociation from the Paris Charter-based European order, and from the global liberal order more generally. Processes of dissociation—defined as intentional distancing from the core rules and norms of institutions—occur relatively often and may even become an increasingly dominant feature of world politics as de-globalization advances. However, this phenomenon has rarely been tackled in academic research. In particular, it remains unclear what the driving forces of dissociation are and whether tensions between “leavers” and “remainers” in this process are destined to increase. This paper aims to address this issue by analyzing the justifications employed by the Russian government in the process of dissociation from the Paris Charter-based European security order before 2014, differentiating between material and ideational dimensions. The study demonstrates how the order that was once seen as a common project was ultimately perceived by Russia as a mechanism of subjugation by the West, which led to Moscow’s departure from it.
The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Veterinary Clinical and Professional Skills Teaching Delivery and Assessment Format
Authors: Simons Micha C. , Pulliam Dustin , Hunt Julie A.
Published: January 2022

The limitations posed by the COVID-19 pandemic have been particularly challenging for courses teaching clinical and professional skills. We sought to identify how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the delivery of veterinary clinical and professional skills courses, including modifications to teaching and assessment, and to establish educators’ perceptions of the efficacy of selected delivery methods. A branching survey was deployed to 35 veterinary schools in North America in March and April 2021. The survey collected data about curriculum and assessment in spring 2020, fall 2020, and spring 2021. Educators at 16 veterinary schools completed the survey (response rate: 46%). Educators quickly adapted curriculum to meet the requirements of their institutions and governments. Early in the pandemic (spring 2020), curriculum was delayed, delivered remotely, or canceled. Assessment methods frequently included virtual objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) and video-recorded skills assessments. Later in the pandemic (fall 2020, spring 2021), in-person clinical skills sessions resumed at many schools, often in smaller groups. Professional skills instruction typically remained virtual, as benefits were noted. Assessment methods began to normalize with in-person OSCEs resuming with precautions, though some schools maintained virtual assessments. Educators noted some advantages to instructional methods used during COVID, including smaller group sizes, better prepared students, better use of in-person lab time, more focus on essential course components, provision of models for at-home practice, and additional educators’ remote involvement. Following the pandemic, educators should consider retaining some of these changes while pursuing further advancements, including improving virtual platforms and relevant technologies.

La profession publicitaire vit, de fait, dans un paradoxe permanent : elle a la conviction d’exercer partout le même métier, avec les mêmes ressorts. Mais, en même temps, chacun a en tête un stéréotype du style publicitaire de ses voisins. Stéréotypes en fait partagés : la touche d’humour à l’anglaise, la « stylisation » bien française, le sérieux allemand...

Bloom’s Appeal to the American Mind
Authors: Kingston Paul William
Published: January 2022

Allan Bloom’s The Closing of the American Mind has struck a raw nerve among those who think about American education -- and, indeed, about the general condition of American society. Not only have reviewers in prominent publications praised and condemned this work in the most extravagant terms, but its public attention far exceeds the grandest hopes of any “serious” nonfiction author, much less one who makes Plato the hero and the debasement of philosophical thinking the central story. These are not the makings of the usual American best seller, but Bloom’s book stood at the top of the best seller list for ten weeks. This is surely a record for a book with a chapter title anything like “From Socrates’ Apology to Heidegger’s Rektoratsrede.”
SOFTWARE METHOD FOR ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF ANTHROPOMORPHIC MANIPULATOR
Authors: Ashchepkova Natalya
Published: January 2022

A universal anthropomorphic manipulator with six rotational degrees of mobility is considered. The nodal points S0, ..., S6 are selected on the trajectory of movement of the manipulator grip. The kinematic analysis of the manipulator was carried out by the method of transforming the coordinates of Denavit - Hartenberg. The mathematical model of the manipulator is compiled by the Lagrange-Euler method. The problem of maximum performance for each generalized coordinate qi (t) is solved using the Pontryagin maximum principle. Mathematical modeling was carried out in the Mathcad environment. The software method for analyzing the speed of the manipulator allows us to consider for each nodal point of the trajectory S0, ..., S6 the set of admissible configurations of the manipulator, solve the problem of maximum speed for each generalized coordinate qi (t) and estimate the minimum time for the implementation of the sequence of state vectors. When solving the problem of maximum speed, the switching time ti1 and the minimum turning time tik are calculated for each generalized coordinate qi (t). The minimum time for the configuration implementation can be found by summing the minimum rotation time tik over six generalized coordinates. Similar calculations are carried out for each nodal point S0, ..., S6 and the corresponding sets of permissible manipulator configurations. The developed software makes it possible, on the basis of the data obtained, to synthesize a sequence of control commands for the manipulator drives. The research results can be used at the design stage, implementation and modernization of robotic systems and manipulators.

Published: January 2022

The modern digital newsrooms produce journalistic output in multiple new content formats, podcasting being one of them. This study presents different contours of podcasting as practiced in the Indian newsrooms through the study of journalistic practices associated with it. Based on fieldwork in newsrooms as well as in-depth interviews, the study tells that the news selection practices for podcasting show a different set of news values emerging. The role of the audience in podcast production as well as the headlining function was also examined. The journalists were found to employ a more interpretive, narrative style of storytelling, moving away from the old journalistic norm of objectivity. Furthermore, these journalists were found to understand podcasting as a form of ‘slow journalism and consciously employing the slow techniques in their practice, conceptualizing podcasts as a necessary break in the modern day news work that is ‘always on’.

Minimally invasive endoscopic approach to perform complete coccygectomy in patients with chronic refractory coccydynia: illustrative case
Authors: Roa Jorge A. , White Sarah , Barthélemy Ernest J. , Jenkins Arthur , Margetis Konstantinos
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

Coccydynia refers to debilitating pain in the coccygeal region of the spine. Treatment strategies range from conservative measures (e.g., ergonomic adaptations, physical therapy, nerve block injections) to partial or complete removal of the coccyx (coccygectomy). Because the surgical intervention is situated in a high-pressure location close to the anus, a possible complication is the formation of sacral pressure ulcers and infection at the incision site.

OBSERVATIONS

In this case report, the authors presented a minimally invasive, fully endoscopic approach to safely perform complete coccygectomy for treatment of refractory posttraumatic coccydynia.

LESSONS

Although this is a single case report, the authors hope that this novel endoscopic approach may achieve improved wound healing, reduced infection rates, and lower risk of penetration injury to retroperitoneal organs in patients requiring coccygectomy.
