Formy ochrony dokumentacji nieurzędowej w Archiwum Państwowym w Szczecinie (Staatsarchiv Stettin) w XIX i w pierwszej połowie XX w.
Authors: Szukała Maciej
Published: January 2022

W Archiwum Państwowym w Szczecinie (Staatsarchiv Stettin) dopiero od II połowy XIX w. następuje się stopniowe przejmowanie w depozyt części zasobu archiwów miejskich i kościelnych jak i spuścizn i akt z archiwów rodowych. Celem całościowego oglądu sytuacji zaistniała konieczność wykonania inwentaryzacji zasobu pomorskich archiwów niepaństwowych. W tym działaniu pomocna okazała się Komisja Historyczna Pomorza (Historische Kommission für Pommern) która była ściśle powiązana z archiwum państwowym. W okresie trzydziestu lat działalności komisji od 1910 r. dokonano spisu zasobu archiwów prywatnych z kilkunastu powiatów pomorskich. W latach 30-tych i na początku 40-tych XX wieku archiwum w Szczecinie udało się przejąć niektóre archiwa rodowe znanych rodzin pomorskich. Wiązało się to z ogólną polityką państwa III Rzeszy, w którym zintensyfikowano badania rodowe (Sippenforschung) mające podłoże rasowe na skalę dotychczas nieznaną.

Forms of protecting unofficial documents in the National Archive in Szczecin (Staatsarchiv Stettin) in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century

Only from as late as the second half of the 19th century, the National Archive in Szczecin gradually took over (in the form of deposit) a part of municipal and church archives, as well as legacies and files from family archives. It was necessary to catalog the collection of Pomerania’s non-national archives in order to have a general overview of the situation. The Pomeranian Historical Commission (Historische Kommission für Pommern), closely related to the national archives, turned out to be particularly helpful in this endeavor. From 1910, for the next thirty years, it was possible to catalog private archives from a dozen or so Pomeranian districts. In the 1930s and the 1940s, the archives in Szczecin managed to take over family archives of some prominent Pomeranian families. This was related to the general policy of the Third Reich where raciallybased genealogy research (Sippenforschung) was conducted to an extent unknown before.
Działalność publiczna Tadeusza Staniewskiego w Swarzędzu do roku 1918
Authors: Ksit Barbara
Published: January 2022

mieście Swarzędz. Funkcję tę pełnił społecznie przez dziewięć miesięcy. Ponownie wybrany burmistrzem w 1929 r., pełnił tę funkcję do 1939 r. Dotychczasowe opracowania omawiają działalność Tadeusza Staniewskiego w Swarzędzu, począwszy od listopada 1918 r. Niniejszy artykuł ma być próbą poszerzenia wiadomości na jego temat we wcześniejszym okresie. Syn nauczyciela, ukończył Gimnazjum Fryderyka Wilhelma w Poznaniu. Na początku XX w. osiadł w Swarzędzu, gdzie zyskał uznanie jako kupiec i społecznik. W odniesieniu do lat 1900–1918, kiedy Tadeusz Staniewski stawiał pierwsze kroki w działalności publicznej, najlepszym źródłem jest prasa wielkopolska, zwłaszcza „Postęp” i „Orędownik” – czasopisma reprezentujące interesy drobnomieszczaństwa. Działalność Tadeusza Staniewskiego była omawiana na ich łamach szczególnie w kontekście dwóch wydarzeń istotnych dla Polaków w Swarzędzu – wyborów do Rady Miejskiej w 1909 r. i sprawy budowy Domu Katolickiego.

Public activity of Tadeusz Staniewski in Swarzędz until the year 1918

In 1919, Tadeusz Staniewski was the first Pole to become mayor of Swarzędz, a town just outside of Poznań. He held this position for 9 months with no remuneration. He was re-elected in 1929 and remained the mayor of Swarzędz until 1939. Previous articles on the activity of Tadeusz Staniewski in Swarzędz discuss his life from November 1918. The present article aims at expanding this timespan and includes information about him in earlier periods. Son of a teacher, he graduated from Frederick William College in Poznań. In the early 20th century he settled down in Swarzędz, where he gained recognition as a tradesman and social activist. Regarding the years 1900–1918, when Tadeusz Staniewski entered the public sphere, the best sources are press articles published in Greater Poland journals, especially “Postęp” and “Orędownik” which represented the interests of the lower middle class. The activity of Tadeusz Staniewski was discussed there particularly with regard to two events of major importance for Poles in Swarzędz: the 1909 City Council elections and the construction of the Catholic House.
Integrity Constraints Revisited: From Exact to Approximate Implication
Authors: Kenig Batya , Suciu Dan
Published: January 2022

Integrity constraints such as functional dependencies (FD) and multi-valued
dependencies (MVD) are fundamental in database schema design. Likewise,
probabilistic conditional independences (CI) are crucial for reasoning about
multivariate probability distributions. The implication problem studies whether
a set of constraints (antecedents) implies another constraint (consequent), and
has been investigated in both the database and the AI literature, under the
assumption that all constraints hold exactly. However, many applications today
consider constraints that hold only approximately. In this paper we define an
approximate implication as a linear inequality between the degree of
satisfaction of the antecedents and consequent, and we study the relaxation
problem: when does an exact implication relax to an approximate implication? We
use information theory to define the degree of satisfaction, and prove several
results. First, we show that any implication from a set of data dependencies
(MVDs+FDs) can be relaxed to a simple linear inequality with a factor at most
quadratic in the number of variables; when the consequent is an FD, the factor
can be reduced to 1. Second, we prove that there exists an implication between
CIs that does not admit any relaxation; however, we prove that every
implication between CIs relaxes "in the limit". Then, we show that the
implication problem for differential constraints in market basket analysis also
admits a relaxation with a factor equal to 1. Finally, we show how some of the
results in the paper can be derived using the I-measure theory, which relates
between information theoretic measures and set theory. Our results recover, and
sometimes extend, previously known results about the implication problem: the
implication of MVDs and FDs can be checked by considering only 2-tuple
relations.
Conditional Bisimilarity for Reactive Systems
Authors: Hülsbusch Mathias , König Barbara , Küpper Sebastian , Stoltenow Lara
Published: January 2022

Reactive systems \`a la Leifer and Milner, an abstract categorical framework
for rewriting, provide a suitable framework for deriving bisimulation
congruences. This is done by synthesizing interactions with the environment in
order to obtain a compositional semantics.
We enrich the notion of reactive systems by conditions on two levels: first,
as in earlier work, we consider rules enriched with application conditions and
second, we investigate the notion of conditional bisimilarity. Conditional
bisimilarity allows us to say that two system states are bisimilar provided
that the environment satisfies a given condition.
We present several equivalent definitions of conditional bisimilarity,
including one that is useful for concrete proofs and that employs an
up-to-context technique, and we compare with related behavioural equivalences.
We consider examples based on DPO graph rewriting, an instantiation of reactive
systems.
Resistencia y amparo. Vulnerabilidad en la filosofía de la proximidad de Josep Maria Esquirol
Authors: Palacios Morales Aïda
Published: January 2022

El artículo se aproxima a la vulnerabilidad en la filosofía de la proximidad de Josep Maria Esquirol. Muestra cómo, además de constituir lo más humano de lo humano, la vulnerabilidad es orientación de la acción y del pensamiento y sentido hondo de la vida. La primera parte atiende las experiencias previas y fundamentales de pasión y afección, que cristalizan en lo que Esquirol denomina repliegue del sentir y herida infinita. La segunda explora la responsabilidad que inevitablemente deriva de la vulnerabilidad, que se concreta en la curvatura poiética: aquellas acciones y pensamientos que acompañan y hacen bien. La tercera parte examina cómo esa vulnerabilidad, específicamente humana, es juntura de cuerpo y alma. La cuarta y última parte observa la proximidad entre mirada médica y mirada filosófica como cuidado de sí y atención a la vulnerabilidad.

As assimetrias laterais no comportamento motor humano estão presentes em 2 dimensões: a preferência, que diz respeito à frequência de utilização, e o desempenho que se refere a qualidade de execução dos segmentos corporais. A interação entre fatores biológicos, como sexo e idade, e fatores ambientais influenciam as assimetrias de desempenho. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar a força de preensão manual entre adultos jovens e idosos, e verificar a relação do sexo e assimetria manuais nessas diferentes faixas etárias. A amostra consistiu em 20 adultos jovens (22,6±1,9) e 20 idosos (76,3±4,92) saudáveis de ambos os sexos. Para mensurar a força de preensão manual utilizou-se um dinamômetro digital. Os resultados indicaram que o a assimetria de força de preensão manual é diferente ao longo da idade, sendo que os adultos jovens apresentaram maior índice de assimetria que os idosos,além disso, a diferença na produção de força entre os sexos se mantém ao longo da idade, visto que o desempenho de força de adultos jovens foi superior à dos idosos.
Iniciação ao Paintball na escola: possibilidades pedagógicas a partir do jogo de simulação
Authors: Souza Matheus Bezerra de , D'auria Breno Brey , Silva Junior Vagner Pereira da
Published: January 2022

O estudo objetivou refletir sobre a iniciação ao Paintball nas aulas Educação Física por meio dos jogos de simulação. Especificamente, buscou relatar uma experiência de iniciação ao Paintball por intermédio do jogo de simulação; identificar a compreensão discente sobre o Paintball antes e após a intervenção; diagnosticar os limites e potencialidades da iniciação ao Paintball por meio dos jogos de simulação na Educação Física. Caracterizou-se como pesquisa documental, desenvolvida a partir de relatórios e planos de aulas. Os resultados indicaram que apenas 50% dos alunos participavam de todas as aulas. A maioria conhecia o Paintball, mas poucos tiveram contato, o que justifica na avaliação pré-intervenção não saberem seu significado, desconhecerem a presença dos jogos de simulação na escola e os relacionarem, inadequadamente, aos esportes coletivos. Após intervenção, maior percepção sobre o significado de jogos de simulação, associando-o, adequadamente, aos jogos de videogames (GTA, Free Fire, The Sims, Counter-strike, Sim City, Call of Duty, FIFA) e aos jogos simbólicos (polícia e ladrão, boneca, esconde-esconde), foi evidenciada. Dentre as lições possíveis de serem aprendidas, predominou a imitação da realidade, visualizando sua presença na escola através de jogos e brincadeiras ou aulas e sua aplicação na Educação Física, consideradas relevantes. A imitação da realidade foi considerada como lição possível de ser aprendida. Conclui-se que a iniciação ao Paintball por meio de jogos de simulação no contexto escolar é viável e que as intervenções realizadas corroboraram com a melhor compreensão sobre os jogos de simulação.
The Role of Multinational Enterprises in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Ghauri Pervez N.
Published: January 2022

The United Nations put forward 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 that were to be achieved by 2030. The objective was to alleviate inequalities and create a fair society for all. The contention of this paper is that multinational enterprises (MNEs) can play an important role in achieving these goals. It is also envisaged that collaborative efforts of governments, society, and MNEs are necessary to achieve these goals. The impact of new realities, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic, is discussed. Many companies are now claiming to pursue these goals. We call for more research to analyze these activities to separate rhetoric from the reality.
„PRAVO NA ZABORAV“ – UPOREDNOPRAVNA ANALIZA
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Lučić Sonja
Published: January 2022

By participating in social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, network participants are increasingly revealing private information on the Internet. Once published data, whether images or other personal data, can be accessed with virtually no time limit. The idea of developing a "right to be forgotten" for the online area came from the French government. In the meantime, the European Commission has taken up this idea and proposed that, in the context of the revision of the Data Protection Directive 95/46, the "right to be forgotten" be considered in more detail. Although the representatives of the European Commission increasingly pointed out the importance of this right at public hearings, there were obstacles and serious resistance to its introduction, i.e. legal regulation. It was only with the discovery of Edward Snowden about the widespread surveillance of the Internet by the American State Security Agency (NSA) in connection with the increasingly widespread use of the Internet that the question of the need for the "right to be forgotten" became topical again. The author pointed out the specifics of “the right to be forgotten”. In addition, the author dealt with the comparative legal analysis of this institute, and give a special review of the current case law, which has as its subject “the right to be forgotten”. The judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in Hurbain v Belgium provides further clarification of the "right to be forgotten" and a broader approach than that taken in the case law of other courts to balance conflicting legal interests. Recognition of the right of an individual to request a change in the digital archive of a newspaper publisher has expanded the tools for individuals seeking „the right to be forgotten“.
„PACIJENTOVO PISMO“ KAO PRAVNI OSNOV ZA PRIMENU PASIVNE EUTANAZIJE
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Pavićević Aleksandra
Published: January 2022

The subject of the paper is the relationship between the duties of physicians and other medical professionals towards the dying patient (as a provider of medical services) and the patient's right to personal choice and preservation of his own right to self-determination in relation to body and life, which is a special subjective civil right. The author discusses the legal-medical (but also ethical) issue of the patient's ability to freely decide not to agree to a medical measure of artificial prolongation of life or suspension of already started measures. The issue is examining the limits of the so-called permissibility of “passive euthanasia”, which is indirectly recognized in domestic law by the Law on Patients' Rights and the legal basis for its application in one particular modality, the so-called "Patient letter" (living will) which is an established legal instrument in some foreign legislation and practice. Analyzing the experience of some foreign countries, the author supports the introduction of such an institute - as a kind of anticipated directives in domestic law, referring to the patient's constitutional right to self-determination, which embodies the supreme good, even more valuable than (unwanted) life. Such a solution is in line with the principle of human will autonomy, freedom to dispose of life as a personal good, and potentially a reflection of the so-called "the right to die", which is the reverse of the right to life

Тајна врлине у Јермином Пастиру и њена улога у изграђивању Цркве и спасењу човека
Authors: Стикић Његош
Published: January 2022

The intention of the author is to provide a more systematic, not exhaustive, insight into the mystical meaning, place, and role of virtue in the economy of salvation, based on the revelation recorded in the early Christian writing of the New Testament prophet and apostle Hermas – The Shepherd. The author locates the place of virtue in the realism of simultaneous and interdependent building of salvation (of man) and building of the Church as a unique (multidimensional) process. Like very few paternal writings, the Shepherd gives us an explicit conclusion that the virtues are the ones that “hold” and build the Church, “dressing” the faithful in the “clothes,” “powers” and Name of the Son of God. By “dressing” in virtues, Christians achieve that “in the likeness,” they are likened to Christ, thus becoming similar and compatible to each other, thus gaining, as a new genus, a one unique identity. That is why the Church, which is being built as the Tower of Salvation, is composed of a multitude, by repentance and virtue shaped and ennobled elects (stones), manifesting itself, thus, in a „monolithic“ building, monochromatic white, as from one carved stone. For this reason, the paper aims to re– evaluate the ontological connection of virtue with the Church (ecclesiology).

Инклюзивность как составляющая богословского подхода святителя Петра Могилы к выражению православного вероучения
Authors: Божко Митрофан
Published: January 2022

In this article, with a few examples of the subjective soteriology of St Peter Mogila, the author reveals such a feature of his theological approach as inclusiveness. Explaining the Orthodox doctrine in his writings, the Metropolitan included in the definition of a number of concepts some terms, expressions and images borrowed from both the Catholic and Protestant sides in order to reveal their content as fully as possible. This was done so that his flock, constantly in contact with other Christian confessions and suffering from proselytism, through comprehension of the familiar terminology could remain and establish itself in the Orthodox faith.
Игор Ивковић, ур., Зборник радова: 800 година аутокефалности Српске Православне Цркве у Епархији тимочкој
Authors: Михајловић Антонијевић Милица
Published: January 2022

У редовима који следе сажето ће бити приказан садржај зборника који је приређен поводом значајног осмовековног јубилеја аутокефалности Српске Православне Цркве. У овом издању је сабрано тринаест научних радова, један приказ догађаја и два приказа књига. Аутори текстова настојали су да систематизују постојећу грађу која се тиче црквене прошлости на простору Тимока и Крајине, затим да поставе нове проблеме као и да понуде нека решења. Обрађене теме су бројне и обухватају области историје, археологије и уметности. Мултидисциплинарни приступ, овде често примењиван, утицаће на студиозност истраживачке мисли. Неће бити сувишно поменути и то да је већина истраживача својим биолошким пореклом са простора који истражује, на којем егзистира и ствара. Постојеће историјске чињенице аутори су, као сукцесори једног почасног скупа научника, поткрепљивали наводима старије литературе, већ широко прихваћене, дајући посебан акценат истраживачком раду и научном доприносу историчарке уметности Бранке Кнежевић (1922–2021). Ништа мање су показали стваралачку живахност и истраживачку проницљивост те су показали нове правце у проучавању богатог, али још увек недовољно елаборираног, духовног и културног наслеђа у овом делу наше земље. Разноврсном фокусу аутора нису измицале ни личности и догађаји, нити топоси, који год период био у питању: касна антика, средњи век, нови век или савремено доба, при чему је истакнуто интензивно преплитање верских и културних утицаја. У свему томе се сублимира свештена историја Цркве у Тимочкој Крајини, која на том простору постоји од периода раног хришћанства па до наших дана.

Published: January 2022

Objetivo: examinar la asociación entre la movilidad en el espacio de vida y las diferentes dimensiones de los síntomas depresivos y la funcionalidad a partir de datos obtenidos en estudio de ancianos que viven en la comunidad de Brasil y Colombia.  Materiales y Métodos: estudio transversal y correlacional en el cual se realizó un análisis secundario a partir del estudio IMIAS, se tomó información de Manizales (Colombia) y Natal (Brasil) del 2014.  La muestra fue de 666 personas mayores. Se utilizó el cuestionario de evaluación de la movilidad en el espacio de vida; para la depresión y sus dimensiones se usó la escala CES-D. La capacidad funcional se midió con la prueba SPPB. Se hizo un análisis por ciudad y sexo, en donde la comparación entre sexos se llevó a cabo usando las pruebas de Mann-Whitney y chi-cuadrada. Para predecir espacio de vida se hicieron 3 modelos de regresión lineal y 3 para un análisis no lineal mediante árboles de decisión.  Resultados: Los promedios de espacio de vida son bajos, en Manizales fue 68.51 y en Natal 52.88. En los dos sitios las diferentes dimensiones de depresión y edad son predictores importantes en ambos sexos. En Manizales la edad, el afecto deprimido, síntomas somáticos y afecto positivo, predicen la restricción del espacio de vida y, puntualmente para mujeres, se agrega el SPPB. Para Natal se evidenció una asociación en ambos sexos según los síntomas somáticos, afecto positivo, la capacidad funcional y la discapacidad. Conclusión: En los dos sitios la depresión, funcionalidad, edad y la discapacidad de movilidad son importantes predictores de restricción del espacio de vida principalmente en mujeres. El espacio de vida tiene predictores diferenciales según el sitio y el sexo.

Published: January 2022

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar os reflexos da pandemia de Covid-19 na educação a partir de uma análise microssocial embasada nas perspectivas familiares de pais e/ou responsáveis de crianças matriculadas em uma escola pública de ensino fundamental da rede estadual, localizada na cidade de Salinas-MG. A metodologia parte de uma proposta quali-quantitativa desenvolvida através de um survey. Os resultados evidenciam alto nível de sobrecarga à figura materna, índices consideráveis de insegurança referentes ao sentimento atribuído de aptidão para auxílio e acompanhamento das crianças e insatisfação pelo desenvolvimento infantil apresentado durante a pandemia, além de demonstrativos positivos de satisfação familiar quanto ao trabalho e preparo docente e desempenho da escola na condução das aulas remotas e auxílio à comunidade escolar. Também são percebidas tendências temerárias como a frequência a espaços públicos e a casas de familiares, vizinhos ou amigos como única alternativa de acesso à internet e o alto nível de reprovação à postura do governo ante ao combate da Covid-19 e à viabilização das aulas remotas.

Published: January 2022

We present a first-principles study of the elastic and thermodynamic properties of the Sr2 RuO4 -xFx alloy (x = 0, 2). Computations are carried out using the WIEN2K code based on a non-relativistic full–potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the density functional theory (DFT). The Voigt–Reuss–Hill approximation method is applied to analyze the elastic constants, Poisson ratio, bulk, shear, and Young modulus at zero pressure and temperature using ELASTIC 1.0 software. The Sr2 RuO4 and Sr2 RuO2 F2 tetragonal phases are mechanically stable because the elastic constants satisfy Born’s mechanical stability condition. In addition, we performed a quasi-harmonic Debye model calculation using the GIBBS2 package to predict the thermodynamic properties and their temperature and pressure dependencies. Thermodynamic parameters such as the Gibbs free energy, heat capacity, Grüneisen parameter, and Debye temperature are successfully obtained and discussed

Published: January 2022

Objective: To examine the immediate and mediate inferences among depressive adults with and without brain damage.
Methods: The descriptive, comparative study was conducted from November 6 to June 19, 2019, in Sargodha, Pakistan, and comprised depressive adults of either gender enrolled from various local mental health facilities. After applying Stroop test to identify brain damage, the subjects were divided into adults with brain damage in group A, and adults without brain damage in group B. Logical inferences of both groups were identified using three decision situations, and the findings were compared between the groups.
Results: Of the 170 individuals approached, 120(70.5%) were included; 60(50%) in each of the two groups. Overall, there were 76(63%) males and 44(37%) females. The overall age range 18-60 years, with 105(88%) being young adults aged 18-49 years. Chi-Square Test was applied to test the hypotheses. Findings revealed that Group A exhibited higher frequency of immediate inferences on three conditions of certainty (55, 53, 58) as compared to Group B (23, 21, 20) while group B exhibited higher frequency on mediate inferences on the conditions of certainty (37, 39, 40) as compared to Group A (5, 7, 2). Group A exhibited higher frequency of immediate inferences on three conditions of risk (54, 55, 56) as compared to Group B (14, 23, 22)

Simülasyon Destekli Tesis Yerleşim Tasarımı ve İyileştirme Çalışmaları: Bir Tekstil Firması Örneği
Authors: ORDU Muhammed , KORHAN Emrah
Published: January 2022

Günümüzde fabrikalar, rekabetçilik yeteneklerini artırmak ve kar marjlarını yükseltmek için birim zamanda daha fazla ürün üretmeyi amaçlamaktadırlar. Bu doğrultuda, daha yüksek satış gelirlerine ulaşırken gider kalemlerini de değerlendirmek zorunda kalmaktadırlar. İşletme operasyonlarından kaynaklanan maliyetler ise göz ardı edilebilmektedir. Fabrika içerisindeki gereksiz aktiviteler, tesis yerleşim planlarındaki düzensizlikler ve zaman kayıpları gibi faktörler fabrikaların üretim verimliliğini düşüren ama giderilebilecek nedenlerdir. Bu çalışmada, bir tekstil fabrikasının kesim departmanında tesis yerleşim tasarımı amaçlanmış ve bir ayrık olaylı simülasyon yöntemi geliştirilerek önerilen tasarım ile mevcut yerleşim düzeni performans ölçütleri açısından karşılaştırılmıştır. Öncelikle, ilgili departmanda proses diyagramı oluşturulmuş ve operasyon bileşenlerine ayrılmıştır. Zaman etüdü çalışması ile her bir aktiviteye ait süre ve mesafeler kaydedilmiştir. Bileşenler arasındaki günlük taşıma sayılarını gösteren from-to matrisleri oluşturulmuştur. Daha sonra bileşenler arasında ilişkiler diyagramı elde edilmiştir. Bileşenler hesaplanan sayısal ağırlıklarına göre yerleşim önceliklerine göre sıralanmışlardır. İkinci aşamada ise departmandaki stokastik süreçler dikkate alınarak bir simülasyon modeli kurulmuştur. Model doğrulandıktan sonra önerilen tasarım için güncellenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, önerilen yerleşim planlamasına göre departmandaki üretim verimliliği yaklaşık %14 artmıştır. Bu çalışma, fabrikaların sürekli olarak yerleşim düzenlemesine ihtiyaç duyduğunu ve simülasyon yöntemi ile daha iyi bir şekilde performans ölçümü yapıldığını ortaya koymaktadır.
Comparison of the Effect of Geotextile and Palm Tree Pruning Waste on CBR Value of Sand Soil
Authors: ÖNAL Yakup , ÖZTÜRK Mitat , ALTAY Gökhan , KAYADELEN Cafer
Published: January 2022

In recent years, geosynthetics have been widely used as soil improvement agent. Geotextiles, one of the types of geosynthetics, are mostly used for enhancing the bearing capacity of soils in addition to their functions such as separation, filtration, and drainage. In the current study, the usability of palm tree pruning waste which is inconvenient to store and dispose of as an alternative to geotextile was investigated by conducting a series of CBR tests. Experiments were carried out on geotextile-reinforced and palm-reinforced sand in CBR mould at different burial depths. In addition, an unreinforced test was conducted for comparison purposes. In the light of the test results, an apparent improvement was observed in CBR values as compared with unreinforced case. CBR values obtained in these tests reinforced with geotextile and palm tree pruning waste were found to be close to each other. Therefore, it is understood that palm tree pruning waste is able to be used as an alternative to geotextile by getting rid of waste material. Additionally, its easy applicability makes it more attractive to use palm leaves in soil improvement.

The grouping of data can be used in the development strategy of an educational game application. The process of grouping data that initially behaved differently into several groups that now behaved more uniformly. As well as grouping the data on the difficulty level of the questions on the educational game question board. This grouping of questions is needed to get the dominant values ​​that will be the characteristics of each group of questions that exist. The clustering method is quite widely used to overcome problems related to data grouping. This clustering is a method of grouping based on the size of the proximity, the more accurate the cluster formed, the clearer the similarity of the difficulty level of the questions. Thus, educational game developers can determine the strategy for placing the existing questions more precisely. Many clustering methods can be used to group the data on this question, including K-Means and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) which are then optimized using the Algorithm Genetics. From the results of the research conducted, optimization gives better results for clustering questions.

Solid waste disposal is a major challenge in many industrialized and developing nations, both in metropolitan regions as well as rural ones. The collection and disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a serious issue facing metropolitan areas in many nations today. An effective MSW management strategy must satisfy all of these criteria: financial viability; technical feasibility; social and legal acceptability; and ecological friendliness. Small and large cities alike have a major difficulty in dealing with solid waste management.

One of the current study topics is the valuation of food organic waste. Existing waste disposal methods include the typical landfill, incineration, composting, and other methods of handling solid waste. Composting and anaerobic digestion have traditionally been the most widely employed methods for the treatment and exploitation of the organic part of MSW (AD). The amount of organic solid waste (OSW) being generated globally is rising at an astronomical rate. Agricultural waste, domestic food waste, human and animal wastes, etc. comprise the majority of OSW. They're often used as animal feed, disposed of in landfills, or burnt. OAWs are made up of protein-, mineral-, and sugar-rich components that may be employed as substrates or raw materials in other processes.

The study examines the role of local governments as a training ground for national political leadership in Nigeria expending Yewa South Local Government as a study. Survey research design was adopted in conducting this research and relies on primary and secondary sources for data collection. The population for this study consists of employees of Yewa South Local Government council. The primary data came from the one hundred and six (106) questionnaires that were administered to the respondents. The research showed that local governments serve as a training ground for national political leadership in Nigeria expending Yewa South Local Government as a research. This was further supported when out of 102 respondents sampled, 40% of the respondents strongly agreed that indigenous government functions as guidance in lieu of national political leadership. The aforementioned was also discovered that local governments have significantly facilitated national political leadership in Nigeria. The paper concludes by saying that ifthe qualities of governance defies in Nigeria are to be transcended, Nigerian frontrunners must eschew self-regarding inclinations and stimulate the conjoint good of the Nigerian people through people oriented governance. The paper therefore recommends that concerted exertions must be geared in the direction of certifying that they are audacious and determined leaders, fortified to tackle these challenges: reviving local governance; guaranteeing resilient democratic culpability; constructing civil society; creating hard-hitting choices amid compressions; decentralizing power to indigenous people; endorsing equality; and undertaking disparity.

The Blue Eyes technology aims at creating computational machines that have perceptual and sensory ability like those of human beings. It uses non-obtrusive sensing method, employing most modern video cameras and microphones to identify the user’s actions through the use of imparted sensory abilities. The machine can understand what a user wants, where he is looking at, and even realize his physical or emotional states. The Blue Eyes Technology developed is intended to be a complex solution for monitoring and recording the operator’s conscious brain involvement as well as his/her physiological condition. This shows yet another development in the field of Brain Computer Interface. The basic idea behind this technology is to give the computer the human power. We all have some perceptual abilities. That is we can understand each other’s feelings. For example we can understand one’s emotional state by analysing his facial expression. If we add these perceptual abilities of human to computers would enable computers to work together with human beings as intimate partners. The “BLUE EYES” technology aims at creating computational machines that have perceptual and sensory ability like those of human beings. This paper discusses the concept of blue eyes technology.

Published: January 2022

Introduction

The impact of bovine mastitis on animal husbandry is great huge. It is anincurable an incurable disease mainly characterized by milk and pathological changes in milk and the mammary gland, which causescause reduced yield and quality of milk, but. Unfortunately, the use of antibiotics to combat mastitis affects the production of milk, so it is urgent to find additional therapeutic molecules for mastitis treatment.

Material and methods

In this study, we analyzed the protection provided by hyperoside (HYP) in a model of mastitis in vivo and explored its functional mechanism in mouse mammary epithelial cells (mMECs) by overexpression of NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3).

Results

Our results showed that HYP at 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg prevented the inflammatory response induced in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated micemouse mammary glands as well as inflammatory cytokine production, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β and IL-8. The protection provided by HYP was also correlated with the reduction of NLRP3 signaling pathway protein levels in vivo. However, overexpression of NLRP3 reversed the effects of HYP on the NLRP3 inflammasome, cell viability and inflammatory factor levels in LPS-stimulated mMECs.

Conclusions

In summary, this study showed that HYP inhibited LPS-stimulated symptoms of breast inflammation by regulating expression of inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting the NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Introduction

To compare the haemostatic efficacy (i.e. efficacy to prevent access site complications) of the InnoSEAL haemostatic pad and Clo-Sur PLUS P.A.D. after femoral arterial puncture for transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).

Material and methods

This randomized controlled trial compared the safety and efficacy of an InnoSEAL haemostatic pad (n = 48) and a Clo-Sur PLUS P.A.D. (n = 52) for haemostasis of arterial puncture sites after TACE with femoral arterial access using a 5-Fr sheath. Primary endpoints were incidence of major (necessitating surgery) and moderate access site complications (ASC) (necessitating blood transfusion/thrombin injection). Secondary endpoints were incidence of minor ASC (no therapy required) and time to haemostasis.

Results

No major or moderate ASC was seen with either device. Minor ASC (6.3% [3/48] vs. 19.2% [10/52], p = 0.075) and ecchymosis (classified as minor ASC; 4.2% [2/48] vs. 17.3% [9/52]; p = 0.053, p-value cut-off after Bonferroni correction = 0.025) were less frequently observed with the InnoSEAL haemostatic pad. The time to haemostasis did not differ significantly between the 2 devices (5.6 ± 1.0 vs. 5.3 ± 0.7 minutes; p = 0.118). Multivari­able logistic regression analysis showed a lower risk of ASC with the InnoSEAL pad (adjusted OR, 0.174; 95% CI: 0.034-0.890; p = 0.036).

Conclusions

No major ASC was seen with either pad, and no significant difference of minor ASC was observed between 2 pads.

Published: January 2022

Purpose

This study aimed to evaluate the visibility of peri-implant fenestration and dehiscences on computed tomo­graphy (CT) images taken with 2 different doses.

Material and methods

The defects were created on the apical of 6 implants randomly selected from 20 titanium implants placed in the ribs, and dehiscences were created on the cervical of 8 implants. No defects were created around 6 implants. Macroscopic analysis of the implanted ribs was accepted as the gold standard. From the samples, images were taken by using both ultra-low dose (80 kVp, 50 mA, 1.25 mm slice thickness) and low dose (100 kVp, 50 mA, 1.25 mm slice thickness) protocols in CT. The images obtained were evaluated using a 5-point scale.

Results

No significant difference was found between the area under the receiver operating characteristic of ultra-low dose protocol and low dose protocol in both defects based on the Wilcoxon test (p > 0.05).

Conclusions

The ultra-low dose protocol could be applied by adhering to the “as low as reasonably achievable” principle in the diagnosis of peri-implant defects.
Moving Peoples and Motion Pictures: Migration in Film and Other Media
Authors: Andrew Dudley
Published: January 2022

Nearly from the start, cinema has registered, dramatized, and produced
images of migration and its attendant anxieties. Indeed, movies have
been fuelled by the movements of peoples thanks to the striking stories
and images these always engender. After glancing at two distinct efforts
in the 1960s in which cinema aimed to capture a mass phenomenon for a
mass audience (one from Classic Hollywood, the other from the periphery
of India), I will interrogate 21st-century strategies to come to terms with
what the art form’s limitations may be. Can cinema get its arms around
something so complex, multidimensional, and contested as migration?
Jia Zhangke’s success in bringing internal Chinese migration to light
may not be easily replicated by filmmakers in other nations faced with
migration issues that cluster at their borders. Perhaps other art forms are
naturally more capable in this regard. To isolate what cinema has done
best, however, I will draw attention to films set on the edges of Europe.
