Medizin in Romantik und Idealismus.
Authors: Engelhardt Dietrich von
Published: June 2023

German Romanticism is not only associated with art, history, theology and philosophy, but - far less noticed - also with medicine and the natural sciences. In contrast to the empirical scientific tendencies of the early modern period and the Enlightenment, physicians around 1800 developed philosophical concepts to overcome the opposites of body and soul, health and illness, nature and culture. The metaphysical understanding of nature of these physicians still influences the search for the preservation and care of nature and a ›humane‹ human medicine today. In four volumes, Dietrich von Engelhardt documents and interprets this fascinating epoch with its positions, persons and sources in the horizon of international interdisciplinary research.
Medizin in Romantik und Idealismus. Band 2: Anthologie historischer Texte
Authors: Engelhardt Dietrich von
Published: June 2023

Teilband 2 enthält eine Anthologie zentraler Texte der Medizin der deutschen Romantik und idealistischen Naturphilosophie zur unmittelbaren Auseinandersetzung mit den präsentierten Quellen in ihrer historischen und gegenwärtigen Bedeutung. Die von Dietrich von Engelhardt ausgewählten Texte veranschaulichen die Welt der romantischen Medizin um 1800 in Theorie und Praxis, Diagnostik und Therapie der verschiedenen medizinischen Disziplinen, in der Beziehung zwischen Arzt und Patient, im Verhältnis zur Philosophie, den Geisteswissenschaften, den Künsten sowie im Horizont der historischen und zukünftigen Entwicklung. Zur Geltung kommen die Naturphilosophen Kant, Schelling und Hegel und vor allem romantische Mediziner, unter ihnen Carus, Kerner, Oken, Schubert, Heinroth, Ringseis und Kieser.
Medizin in Romantik und Idealismus. Band 3: Mediziner der Romantik
Authors: Engelhardt Dietrich von
Published: June 2023

In Volume 3, Dietrich von Engelhardt presents the most important physicians of German Romanticism with their lives and works. This information is supplemented by a comprehensive bibliography of their monographs, essays and reviews. The weight and scope of the empirical content of the theories and concepts, diagnostics and therapy are impressive - an indisputable refutation of the neglect of reality of which the physicians were accused. Physics and metaphysics, theory and practice, feeling and understanding, humanity and science are not alternatives for them; their goal is to overcome the separation of natural science, spiritual science, art and life. The resonance of the romantic orientation in medicine around 1800 is far-reaching, obviously the significance for the present.
Medizin in Romantik und Idealismus. Band 4: Forschungsbibliographie
Authors: Engelhardt Dietrich von
Published: June 2023

With 6.400 titles, Volume 4 offers the world’s most comprehensive international and interdisciplinary research bibliography on the medicine and natural science of German Romanticism and the natural philosophy of German Idealism from 1800 to the present. Dietrich von Engelhardt considers contributions from a wide range of disciplines by German, Romance, Slavic, Scandinavian and Asian as well as Anglo-American researchers, who thus receive attention and recognition and, with this interdisciplinary orientation of this bibliography in the spirit of Romanticism, counteract today’s dominant specialisation in the sciences and support the dialogue between the cultures of the natural sciences and the humanities, the arts and life.
Unbekanntes Braunschweig
Authors: Spies Gerd
Published: June 2023

Braunschweig abseits der bisher bekannten Plätze und Prachtbauten: Zeichnungen eines Unbekannten enthüllen detailliert das Aussehen und das Leben der Stadt vor 260 Jahren. Braunschweig war in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts Residenzstadt geworden, in der Innenstadt entstanden Barockbauten, noch engten die längst veralteten Befestigungsanlagen die Stadt ein, da ging ein uns heute nur dem Namen nach bekannter Zeichner durch die Stadt. Auf gut eine Spanne großen Bleistiftzeichnungen, detailversessen, oft naiv, hielt der Zeichner Collier Häusergruppen und Straßen fest, die schon Jahrzehnte später verschwunden waren, die verbaut oder im neuen Stil verkleidet wurden. Es ist das unbekannte Braunschweig abseits der bekannten Plätze und Prachtbauten, die Fachwerkstadt, deren Wert erst hundert Jahre später langsam wiederentdeckt und ein weiteres halbes Jahrhundert später fast völlig zerstört wurde. Doch die umfangreiche Sammlung der Zeichnungen blieb erhalten. Gerd Spies hat diese einzigartigen Stadtansichten nun individuell lokalisiert und ordnet sie dem damaligen Stadtleben zu. Damit wird es möglich, Collier auf seinem Weg durch die Straßen Braunschweigs am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts zu begleiten, mit seinen Augen die Häuser, Fassaden und Innenhöfe zu sehen und die auf 121 Abbildungen dargestellten Ansichten auf einem zeitgenössischen Stadtplan wiederzufinden.
Ferenc Fricsay
Authors: Sühring Peter
Published: June 2023

Der ungarisch-österreichische Dirigent Ferenc Fricsay (1914–1963) prägte das 20. Jahrhundert und hinterließ viele Maßstäbe setzende historische Aufnahmen. Zunächst leitete er in Szeged ein Jahrzehnt lang das Konzert- und Opernleben. Über Budapest kommend, wo er sich zunächst wegen seiner jüdischen Herkunft mütterlicherseits und wegen seiner Widerstandsaktionen gegen das Horthy-Regime und die deutschen Besatzer verstecken musste, dann an führender Stelle am Wiederaufbau des Opern- und Konzertlebens nach 1945 teilnahm, nach Gastspielen in Wien und bei den Salzburger Festspielen 1947–49, wirkte er in den beiden Jahrzehnten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg besonders in Berlin und München. Und als reisender Dirigent machte er auch in Westeuropa, Nord- und Südamerika sowie in Israel Furore. Fricsays ungarische Herkunft und Ausbildung prädestinierten ihn für erstrangige Interpretationen der Musik von Bartók und Kodály. Er war ebenso bedeutender Mozart-Dirigent und setzte sich für zeitgenössische Musik ein. Intensiv arbeitete er mit Rundfunkorchestern und widmete sich der Produktion von Schallplatten, um so Tonkunst in radiophonen und diskografischen Medien zu verbreiten. Fricsays umfangreiche Diskografie gibt einen lebendigen Eindruck davon, wie er die von ihm einstudierten musikalischen Kunstwerke aufgefasst hat. Legendär ist hierbei seine künstlerische Zusammenarbeit mit Clara Haskil, Géza Anda und Maria Stader. Auf Grundlage kritischen Hörens von Fricsays diskografischer Überlieferung sowie einer Auswertung seines Berliner Nachlasses wirft der Autor ein neues, historisch fundiertes Licht auf die Lebensstationen und die Kunst dieses Dirigenten und Musikers. Die Reihe "SOLO – Porträts und Profile" lädt dazu ein, die Künstlerinnen und Künstler der "klassischen" Musik kennenzulernen. Erstmals auf dem deutschsprachigen Buchmarkt stehen hier internationale Interpretinnen und Interpreten des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts im Mittelpunkt. Jedes Buch porträtiert in gut zugänglicher und kompakter Form eine Musiker-Persönlichkeit: Dirigentinnen und Dirigenten, Solistinnen und Solisten, Sängerinnen und Sänger. Biografie und Karriere werden ebenso vorgestellt wie wesentliche Merkmale des individuellen Musizierens. Eine Einordnung des künstlerischen Profils rundet die fundierten Darstellungen ab. Die Autorinnen und Autoren der Reihe sind auf ihrem jeweiligen Gebiet ausgewiesene Fachleute und kommen aus Forschung und Praxis.
Ästhetik und Politik im Werk des italienischen Filmregisseurs Elio Petri
Authors: Lang Simon
Published: June 2023

Elio Petri (1929–1982) zählte zu Lebzeiten in Italien zu den wichtigsten Vertretern des politischen Kinos. Auch außerhalb seines Heimatlands stießen seine Filme auf enorme Resonanz, insbesondere "Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto" (1970) und "La classe operaia va in paradiso" (1971). Anfangs noch einhellig als Speerspitze einer italienischen 'Neuen Welle' gefeiert, wurde er im Zuge zivilgesellschaftlicher Politisierung zum Gegenstand kontroverser Diskussionen – zu unkritisch bediene er sich der spektakulären Erzählformen des Unterhaltungskinos. Mit seinen heterogenen Stilweisen entwickelt Petri ein zeitkritisches Kino, das dem Originalitätsgedanken des Kunstkinos eine Absage erteilt – stets im Versuch, auf sich wandelnde historische Umstände zu reagieren: Ansätze aus dem Autorenfilm, der bildenden Kunst und dem Theater kommen hierbei ebenso in Betracht wie populäre Genres, um die Zuschauer zur Erkenntnis ihrer Situation in einem repressiven Gesellschaftssystem anzuleiten. Als erste deutschsprachige Monografie vollzieht das Buch die Genese von Petris Werk umfassend nach. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf dem Zusammenhang von Ästhetik und Politik. Es interessieren mithin nicht nur die Interpretationen der politischen Verhältnisse, die Petris Filme anbieten: Ebenso im Vordergrund steht die Frage, wie diese ästhetisch organisiert sind.
Is Cassava the Next Magic Solution to World Hunger and Energy Crisis? The Indonesian Experience
Authors: Pascal Moeliono Tristam , Soetoprawiro Koerniatmanto
Published: June 2023

This chapter addresses, from a legal (state law) perspective, the issue regarding the feasibility of using cassava as alternate staple food beside rice for the Indonesian people or, in the context of energy crisis, as source for biofuel. To do that, written formal law touching upon sustainable development, agriculture, food sovereignty-security and other relevant law and regulations will be perused and analyzed. Focus shall be given on the symbolic meaning of written laws and how government officials interpret and further develop it into policies. The main argument here is that while there are local-regional initiatives and even start up policies to develop cassava as flex crop, lessening Indonesian people dependence on rice as staple food, or magic solution to world hunger or as raw material for biofuel, those steps have not yet become part of the formal law and possessing symbolic effect.
Hippocampus: Its Role in Relational Memory
Authors: Adedayo Lawrence , Ojo Gideon , Umanah Samuel , Aitokhuehi Gideon , Emmanuel Ileri-Oluwa , Bamidele Olubayode
Published: June 2023

Hippocampus is the region of the brain that is primarily associated with memory. The hippocampus, which is located in the inner (medial) region of the temporal lobe, forms part of the limbic system, which is important in regulating emotional responses. The hippocampus is thought to be principally involved in storing long-term memories and in making those memories resistant to forgetting, though this is a matter of debate. It is also thought to play an important role in spatial processing and navigation. Cholinergic system has implicated in the functionality of hippocampus interconnections with other neurons for efficient memory modulation. Pyramidal and globular cells are the main cells of the cornus ammonis and the dentate gyrus which is essential in relational memory consolidation. Acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter implicated in encoding of memory in the hippocampus. There are diseases that are associated with hippocampus relational memory such as Alzheimer’s disease which is currently a global challenge. The hippocampus communicates with widespread regions of cortex through a group of highly interconnected brain regions in the medial temporal lobe. There is paucity of data on its role on relational memory. Therefore, the role of hippocampus in relational memory will be elucidated in this chapter.
Dynamics of the Twenty-First-Century Midwifery Practice
Authors: Jackline Ayikoru , Harriet Akello , Otim Raymond , Francis Pebolo Pebalo
Published: June 2023

Globally, midwifery is the safest, most cost-effective, and most satisfying method of birth assistance. This age-old profession embraces the most non-interventionist philosophy that childbirth is a natural and normal process in which the attendant merely assists in the healthy routine progression. Midwifery is commonly assumed to be all about assisting labor and childbirth, but there is more to it than that. This noble profession entails skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate care for childbearing women, newborn infants, and families across the continuum throughout pre-pregnancy, and pre, intra, and postpartum periods. Over decades, midwifery has evolved from being informal and invisible to independent professional practice with major shifts in the scope of practice, gender, economic, and career dynamics concerning the profession. With maternal and child health being at the center of most important developments, the midwife stands out in his/her role as a primary care provider, advocate, and teacher.
Nonlinear Robust Control of Trajectory-Following for Autonomous Ground Electric Vehicles
Authors: Jin Xianjian , Wang Qikang
Published: June 2023

This chapter proposes a nonlinear robust H-infinity control approach to enhance the trajectory-following capabilities of autonomous ground electric vehicles (AGEV). Given the inherent influence of driving maneuvers and road conditions on vehicle trajectory dynamics, the primary objective is to address the control challenges associated with trajectory-following, including parametric uncertainties, system nonlinearities, and external disturbance. Firstly, taking into account parameter uncertainties associated with the tire’s physical limits, the system dynamics of the AGEV and its uncertain vehicle trajectory-following system are modeled and constructed. Subsequently, an augmented system for control-oriented vehicle trajectory-following is developed. Finally, the design of the nonlinear robust H-infinity controller (NRC) for the vehicle trajectory-following system is carried out, which is designed based on the H-infinity performance index and incorporates nonlinear compensation to meet the requirements of the AGEV system. The controller design involves solving a set of linear matrix inequalities derived from quadratic H-infinity performance and Lyapunov stability. To validate the efficacy of the proposed controller, simulations are conducted using a high-fidelity CarSim® full-vehicle model in scenarios involving double lane change and serpentine maneuvers. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed NRC outperforms both the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller and the robust H-infinity controller (RHC) in terms of vehicle trajectory-following performance.
Perspective Chapter: The Role of Dopamine Receptors in Neuropsychiatric Diseases
Authors: Yaman Burak
Published: June 2023

Dopamine is a key regulator neurotransmitter in the important cognitive and intellectual functions of the brain. This neurotransmitter in a structure of catecholamine is responsible for motivation, movement, reward-punishment, mood, memory, attention and more functions in central nervous system. This large effect area gives dopamine high importance in the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric diseases. Dopamine shows its effects through dopamine receptors that are G protein-coupled receptors ranging from D1 to D5. Changes in the activity of these receptors are associated with diseases like schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease and addiction. This relationship between dopamine receptors and neuropsychiatric diseases has made these receptors main target in the strategy of clinic researches. Cognitive physiological functions of dopamine and the role of dopamine receptors in the common neuropsychiatric diseases are focused in this chapter.

Authors: Balakhial Amir , Naserian Abasali , Heravi moussavi Alireza , Valizadeh Reza
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Providing good quality forage in dairy cattle diet is vital for the dairy farm industry. Canola forage was newly added to dairy cows’ diet in Iran. The present study aimed to determine the effects of replacing corn silage with canola silage on feed intake, apparent digestibility, milk yield, milk composition, and thyroid hormone levels of dairy cattle in Mashhad, Iran.
Materials and methods: Nine Holstein cows were used in this study and were allocated in a 3×3 change over Latin square design study. The trial consisted of 3 periods, each lasting for 20 days. The first 15 days were considered an adaptation period. Experimental diets were formulated to provide 33% of the total dry matter (DM) as forage. Canola silage was substituted with corn silage at levels of 0, 50, and 100% of DM.
Results: Dietary concentrations of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber increased when corn silage was replaced by canola silage. Replacing corn silage with canola silage caused a significant decrease in DMI. The apparent digestibility of DM and crude protein were not affected by the dietary replacement of corn silage with canola silage; however, organic matter and digestibility of NDF decreased significantly. When corn silage was replaced by canola silage, there were no significant changes in milk yield, fat-corrected milk, and milk composition in the investigated cattle, but milk protein changed significantly. The results indicated that 50% substitution of canola silage caused higher milk protein. Rumen fluid pH and its ammonia nitrogen concentration increased significantly in experimental animals. The concentrations of T3 and T4 decreased, whereas blood urea nitrogen concentration increased by dietary replacement of corn silage with canola silage.
Conclusion: Canola silage can be substituted with corn silage, and feeding canola silage can be beneficial in some aspects.

Due to the shift in societal expectations, one can analyse, and interpret the history of auditing thanks to the historical growth of the profession both inside and outside of the company. The study's goal is to investigate the audit profession, internal and external audit, professionalism, and commercialism theoretically. Hero gains understanding of the nature of materiality, evidence, professional judgment, and skepticism in auditing from the audit profession. According to pertinent literature, the accounting and auditing professions have made significant contributions to the credibility of financial reporting through their pronouncements. The paper contends that the policeman theory of auditing, which is a component of the theory of accountability that aids in explaining the evolution of auditing in the corporate sector, acts as a link between the audit profession inside and outside the corporation.

Introduction. Inadequate postoperative analgesia can affect the functioning of almost all organ systems and significantly increase morbidity and mortality. The aim of study was to analyze and assess response of patient’s painful sensations caused by surgical intervention in early stage of acute postoperative pain. Methods. This paper presents a prospective study that follows the reaction of the patient 24 hours postoperatively after different surgical procedures. The only criterion for patient’s inclusion in the study was the need for elective surgical intervention. As a source of data used were medical records with complete medical documentation. Results. The study included 126 patients. The group is divided into three subgroups: I - gallbladder surgery, II - resection of the stomach and intestines, III - surgery of hernia abdominal wall. The same analgesics are ordained postoperative: noraminofenazon, and ketoprofen. The severity of pain and testing treatment effect was carried out peacefully, at regular intervals by the appropriate scale for the assessment of the strength and quality of pain. Conclusion. At the time of the need for analgesic patients on a scale of pain showed a value of 6,84 to 7,14 (VAS - visual analog scale). Homeostatic values of variables in the early postoperative period, it remained within normal values. Administration of analgesics “at the request” of the patient not achieved satisfactory analgesia, because the first postoperative day the patients will have a severe pain (VAS - 7).
Allergies: from stress to psychosomatic diseases
Authors: Medenica Snežana , Stojaković Milan , Zrnić Bogdan , Vasić Goran , Prodanović Verica , Marić Helena
Published: June 2023

Holistic approach to the nature of human beings shows the view of the man as a unique and indivisible whole and not as a collection of organs that are not interconnected. This means the integrity of the biological, psychological and social nature of the man and that just means the psychosomatic approach to the disease. More and more studies indicate that psychological stress can aggravate or improve some allergic diseases. Today there are a lot of discussions about the effects of chronic stress which has lasted for years and decades. Many unpleasant events from the past, such as fear, aggressive wishes, guilt and others, can have its effect on the body systems later, and gradually cause functional disorders and organic diseases within them. Enhanced work of the nervous system and increased secretion of hormones, which can protect us when the stress occurs for the first time, represents the same changes which can destroy us in the end when we face constant and persistent stress. Some studies have shown that in addition to heredity, common infections of the respiratory tract and pollution of the environment are the main villains for the development of allergic diseases as well as stress. Recent studies emphasize that stress and anxiety can extend the duration of seasonal allergies and boost their symptoms.
Psoriasis as a psychodermatology disease

Published: June 2023

Skin lesions have a strong influence on the mental health. Literature indicates the complex interrelationships between psychosocial factors and psoriasis, which substantially reduce the quality of life of these patients. These interrelationships are based on numerous interactions that exist between the immune, nervous and endocrine systems and they are the basis of interactions that exist between mental and somatic health and the environment. Psychodermatology was developed as a new interdisciplinary field, a connection between psychiatry and dermatology. More than just cosmetic disfigurement, psoriasis is associated with various psychopathological problems that may have an impact on patients, their families and society. Numerous psychological disturbances occur in patients with psoriasis. Also, a significant psychiatric comorbidity was found in patients with psoriasis. Exacerbation of psoriasis leads to a deterioration of mental health. The treatment of psoriasis requires an interdisciplinary approach of a dermatologist and a psychiatrist. Various forms of psychological interventions have been proposed as a potentially useful addition to a standard pharmacological treatment of psoriasis.

Introduction. Extramural venous invasion (EMVI) is a significant predictive factor of the prognosis for patients with colorectal carcinoma and it is directly connected with the relapse of a disease, especially with the appearance of distant metastases. Methods. The research comprises 90 patients with colorectal cancer. Representative samples of tumor tissues obtained by surgical resection are fixed in 4% formalin and embedded into paraffin blocks. Semi-series incisions of 4μm thickness were stained by HE method and Van Gieson’s method. Results. Out of 90 analyzed patients, 21 (23,33%) were with EMVI, and 69 (76.67%) without EMVI on the histological preparations stained by HE method. EMVI was found in 7 more tumors on the preparations stained by Van Gieson’s method. Sensitivity of the method determining EMVI on the histological preparations stained by Van Gieson’s method was better for 25% (7/28) than on the preparations stained by HE method. EMVI was not found in patients at A and B1 stage of disease according to Astler- Coller classification, but out of 77 patients which were at B2, C1 and C2 stage EMVI was found in 28 (36,36%) patients, p≤0,01. EMVI was found in 18/77 (23,38%) patients who had a tumor of low histological gradus, p≤0,01 and in 10/13 (76,92%) patients who had a tumor of high histological gradus, p≤0,01. In patients with neural invasion, EMVI was found in 18/22 (81,82%), whereas in patients without neural invasion EMVI was found in 10/68 (14,71%), p≤0,01. In patients with weak intensity of peritumoral lymphocytic reaction EMVI was found in 20/41 (48,78%) whereas in patients with moderate and noticeable level it was found in 8/49 (16,33%), p≤0,01. There was a significant correlation between extramural venous invasion and other parameters of unfavorable prognosis. Conclusion. EMVI is an important indicator in administration of postoperative adjuvant therapy in patients with colorectal carcinoma. A special histochemical method of elastic fiber stain should be applied in everyday practice when EMVI is not found on HE stained preparations in patients with CRC.

As ferramentas tecnológicas estão cada vez mais a serviço da medicina moderna gerando uma nova perspectiva no atendimento clínico definido como Medicina de Precisão. Ela engloba os 4Ps dessa nova prática clínica: Preditiva, Preventiva, Personalizada e Participativa. Essa ideia não é nova, Sir William Osler (1849-1919), o pai da medicina moderna, dizia que “É mais importante conhecer a pessoa que tem a doença do que a doença que a pessoa tem”. Assim, essa nova medicina caminha em passos estreitos com os avanços tecnológicos nas áreas médicas para definir o melhor atendimento personalizado para o paciente, igualmente como previa nos primórdios da medicina moderna Sir William Osler. O Projeto Genoma Humano (1990) trouxe as bases para o desenvol-vimento da medicina de precisão com o sequenciamento do genoma humano e o posterior barateamento da técnica com o sequenciamento de nova geração (Next Generation Sequencing - NGS) que possibilitou a comparação das variações genéticas individuais com um padrão genômico. Assim ferramentas como genoma, exoma clínico, transcriptoma, proteômica, metabolômica, epigenoma, microbioma e farmacogenômica são termos que estão sendo incorporados na prática clínica. E todas essas vertentes necessitam da utilização dos Big Data, grandes centros de processamento computacional de larga escala, que utilizam bioinformática para levar os avanços tecnológicos na área médica em outro patamar e com o auxílio da inteligência artificial (Artificial Intelligence - IA) e a aprendizagem de máquina (Machine Learning - ML) permitir diagnóstico e prognósticos mais precisos. Além disso, novas áreas de cirurgia robótica menos invasivas e realizadas remotamente estão surgindo como as mais famosas reproduzidas pelo robô Da Vinci. Assim como a utilização de nanotecnologia na medicina, impressoras 3D, a telemedicina e mHealth. Dessa forma, a medicina está evoluindo para um atendimento personalizado que utiliza as mais modernas ferramentas tecnológicas com intuito de atender os pacientes oncológicos e com doenças raras de forma individualizada. Sendo assim, abandonando a medicina tradicional do “mesmo atendimento para todos” (one-size-fits-all) para a Medicina de Precisão. É com prazer que trazemos a primeira edição do livro Avanços Tecnológicos na Área Médica apresentando temas tão relevantes para a medicina moderna.

Hệ cơ sở tri thức là một trong các lớp ứng dụng phổ biến của trí tuệ nhân tạo. Thiết kế cơ sở tri thức và bộ suy diễn của hệ thống ứng dụng thực tế đòi hỏi việc sử dụng ontology cho biểu diễn tri thức. Trong các ứng dụng như hệ giải vấn đề thông minh trong các miền tri thức hình học phẳng, điện học, hay hóa học thì tri thức có cấu trúc rất trừu tượng và phức tạp bao gồm các khái niệm, các quan hệ, các toán tử, các hàm, các luật. Giải pháp biểu diễn tri thức theo ontology là tất yếu để biểu diễn các miền tri thức như trên và tổ chức cơ sở tri thức cho hệ thống trên máy tính. Trong bài báo này sẽ trình bày phương pháp thiết kế cở sở tri thức và bộ suy diễn của hệ cơ sở tri thức dựa trên môn ontology cho miền tri thức, gọi là ontology về cơ sở tri thức các đối tượng tính toán, và các ứng dụng của nó trong thực tế như hệ giải toán trong miền tri thức hình học, hệ chẩn đoan bệnh.
Questionable Metascience Practices
Authors: Rubin Mark
Published: June 2023

In this new article, I consider questionable research practices in the field of metascience. A questionable metascience practice (QMP) is a research practice, assumption, or perspective that’s been questioned by several commentators as being potentially problematic for metascience and/or the science reform movement. I discuss 10 QMPs that relate to criticism, replication, bias, generalization, and the characterization of science. My aim is not to cast aspersions on the field of metascience but...

Published: June 2023

El presente artículo realiza un análisis bioclimático mediante una evaluación autónoma de variables meteorológicas, también un análisis con índices bioclimáticos complejos, las variables analizadas son temperatura ambiente, humedad relativa y velocidad del viento; con ello se explica el nivel de peligrosidad y sensación entorno al confort climático en sectores aledaños al Qhapaq Ñan, en donde se tienen zonas de páramo con alturas entre 3349 – 4363 msnm, para ello se analizaron las microcuencas del Zula y Jubal, provincia de Chimborazo, Ecuador. Mediante Szokolay, se determinó que los sectores de estudio están fuera de la zona de confort térmico, el ensayo de cercanía al confort con un estudio horario-diario pudo minimizar este hecho para el rango horario de 12:00 del mediodía a 2:00 pm. Para el caso del análisis por Fuentes la microcuenca del Zula presenta condiciones más favorables de confort que la de Jubal. Los resultados mediante los índices bioclimáticos complejos Termo-anemométrico y el índice Termo-higrométrico indican condiciones normales de confort, aunque es necesario explicar que para este último la sensación térmica para la población es de frío a frío intenso. La investigación permitió evaluar el supuesto inicial de que la población se encuentra fuera del confort climático, estimando la situación de los habitantes y turistas en el referente confort ocasionado por las condiciones meteorológicas ambientales encontradas en estas zonas de páramo, así mismo explica el comportamiento de la población en su intento de mejorar sus condiciones de confort debido a las variables ambientales a las que se encuentran expuestos.

Published: June 2023

This study assessed how stakeholder engagement strategies used by SNV-TIDE project in planning, capacity building and resource mobilisation influenced the adoption of improved forages in Isingiro District, Southwestern Uganda. A cross sectional survey design was adopted for the study, which covered five purposively selected SNV-TIDE project cooperatives. The data were collected from 50 active cattle farmers and three field supervisors using both a semi-structured questionnaire and an interview guide. Descriptive and inferential analysis including multiple regression techniques were employed to analyse the data. The findings revealed that stakeholder engagement in planning and capacity building contributed 35 and 14.3 percent change respectively, in the adoption of improved forages. Stakeholder engagement in planning and capacity building had a positive significant (p<0.05) influence on the adoption of improved forages among the SNV-TIDE project members. But stakeholder engagement in resource mobilisation had no influence (p>0.05) on the adoption of improved forages. Thus based on the study, it was concluded that engaging stakeholders in planning and in capacity building contributes to the adoption of improved forages. To achieve better results, therefore, stakeholder engagement strategies should put more emphasis on involving stakeholders in the project planning activities and capacity building.
Teaching Religion in a Secular Swedish School System
Authors: Mwesigwa Fred Sheldon
Published: June 2023

Following my two-month research as an international Ugandan researcher in Sweden, I present an argument that the introduction of a non-confessional Religious Education in Sweden in 1919 and an objective and neutral education since 1962 had a key intention of de-linking teaching of religion from religious foundation bodies, in particular, the dominant Church of Sweden (Lutheran) and rendering it educational instead of confessional.
In this paper, I will argue that, despite the subsequent birth of a secular Swedish society and the onset of a multicultural society, there was - and there continues to be a justification for the teaching of religion in schools. In my interview with two experts on Religious Education from the National Agency of Education, two teachers of Religious Education and eight students, they all responded positively to the question of the continued teaching of religion in secular Swedish society.
However, in the paper, I will argue that there was or there is an inability of the curriculum and the teachers in some respects to do justice to the integrity of different religions. Based on earlier research and interviews, I’ll argue that despite the good intentions of having a neutral and objective multi-faith Religious Education (RE) curriculum in place, some textbooks and teachers’ approaches raise questions on fairness to all religions. In particular, the interviews indicate that there are signs of “Immigrophobia” among some students, teachers and sections of the community.
Notwithstanding, I will argue that since the findings reveal an overwhelming support for multi-faith RE by a secular population and being mindful of the increased multi-cultural society and signs of Immigrophobia6, it is imperative that a careful choice of text-books, especially on religions, other than Christianity, is done and special attention given to RE teachers to address the concept of fairness to all religions.

BRiM: A Modular and Extensible Open-Source Framework for Creating Bicycle-Rider Models
Authors: Stienstra Timo J. , Brockie Samuel G. , Moore Jason K.
Published: June 2023

Despite the publication of many bicycle models, there is yet to exist a common framework for building and extending bicycle-rider models that can be easily shared between researchers. To fill this gap, we have developed BRiM, a modular and extensible open-source framework for creating Bicycle-Rider Models. It uses an established bicycle model, like the Carvallo-Whipple model, which can be extended using components from BRiM's extensive library, or user-defined custom subclasses. It leverages the open-source Python package SymPy, a computer algebra system, to compute the equations of motion. This results in symbolic equations of motion, which, after code generation, can be used to simulate and optimise the model. The effectiveness of BRiM is demonstrated by solving a trajectory tracking problem using a direct collocation algorithm.
Essential Bicycle Dynamics for Microscopic Traffic Simulation: An Example Using the Social Force Model
Authors: Schmidt Christoph M. , Dabiri Azita , Schulte Frederik , Happee Riender , Moore Jason K.
Published: June 2023

Microscopic traffic simulation is a popular tool in traffic research and planning. It enables the evaluation of interventions in a traffic
system based on the movement of individual simulated agents. These can be for example infrastructural changes or the introduction
of new road users like automated vehicles. To simulate cyclists, traditional simulation techniques have to be adapted. We propose a microscopic model describing bicycle interaction using the social force paradigm. Here we take into account bicycle kinematics, to create realistic bicycle paths.
Qualitative evaluation shows simulated interactions with plausible cyclist trajectories.
