Tapping into emotions: Understanding the neural mechanisms of emotional responses through EEG using music
Authors: Indhumathi R. , Nidharshana V. , Smritti Bala R. , Aswini R.
Published: February 2025

Emotion detection by evaluating Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is an emerging field that provides insights into human emotional states by monitoring brain activity, using music therapy and entertainment. This study aims to establish a connection between brain activity and emotion recognition through music. The applications of this study include mental health assessments, emotionally intelligent agents, adaptive learning, pain assessment, patient monitoring, security and surveillance, and personalized music recommendations. Traditional EEG-based emotion detection techniques frequently struggle with the complex and noisy nature of data. Given that EEG signals are raw data, this study proposes the use of an actor-critic algorithm, enabling accurate, real-time emotion detection in the presence of musical stimuli. The actor-critic network architecture is a sophisticated framework designed to predict emotional states from EEG features, leveraging the rich, real-time data provided about brain activity. In this setup, the actor network generates predictions about an individual's emotional state based on the EEG signals it processes, making informed guesses about various emotional conditions, such as happiness, sadness, or stress. The critic network, on the other hand, evaluates the accuracy of these predictions, assessing how well the actor's predictions align with actual emotional states, thus providing feedback essential for refining and enhancing the actor's predictive capabilities.

Authors: Vejar Andres , Marzuk Faysal , Chołda Piotr
Published: February 2025

Sixth generation (6G) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems face numerous security threats, including Sybil and denial-of-service (DoS) cyber-attacks. To provide a secure exchange of data and protect users' identities in 6G V2X communication systems, anonymization techniques - such as k-anonymity - can be used. In this work, we study centralized vs. k-anonymity based resource allocation methods in a vehicular edge computing (VEC) network. Allocation decisions for vehicular networks are classically posed as a centralized optimization task. Therefore, an information flow is transmitted from the vehicles to the communication premises. In addition to a resource allocation decision, vehicle information is not required. We analyze the centralized allocation versus k-anonymous allocation models. To show a potential deterioration introduced by anonymity, we quantify the gap in the optimal goal in two cases: based on resource allocation and with aim at energy reduction. Our numerical results indicate that energy consumption rises by 1% in smaller scenarios and 23% in medium scenarios, whereas it decreases by 14% in larger scenarios.
Experiences of early childhood teachers with refugee children and their families in New Zealand.
Authors:   , Kumar Anoop
Published: February 2025

This qualitative narrative inquiry examined the teaching and learning experiences of six early childhood teachers working with refugee children and their families in an urban district of New Zealand. Using (a) filmed observations, (b) semi-structured interviews with teachers, and (c) stimulated recall interviews I collected narratives about the teachers’ encounters, and the relationships they developed, with refugee- background families and their children in their centres. Research journals kept by the teachers and myself as the researcher recorded further reflections on the data and supplemented the oral narratives. This study also investigated the sources of knowledge teachers relied upon when working with families and children who were refugees; and how their professional training prepared them for teaching refugee children.

My analysis used theoretical constructs from Dewey’s notions of experience (Dewey, 1938), culture and culturally responsive practices (Gay, 2000; Ladson-Billings, 1995), and ethics of care (Noddings, 1995), to understand teachers’ experiences of working with refugee children and their families.

Data were transcribed and analysed using a constant comparative analysis within the framework of sociocultural theory (Rogoff, 1995 and Vygotsky, 1978). Through a detailed examination of the teachers’ narratives and stories, I found that teachers created a culture that demonstrated an ethic of care to support refugee children during enrolment and settling phases, and celebrated the diverse cultures refugee children brought into the centres. The study also found that teachers’ experiences with refugee parents were characterised by language and cultural barriers. The parents had contrasting educational perceptions to those held by teachers which made communication between teachers and refugee families a challenge. Teachers in this study attempted to promote refugee families' participation and reported moments of deep satisfaction in connecting refugee families with the community.

The findings of this study indicate that teachers did not experience adequate opportunities in their initial teacher training to learn about how to address the needs of refugee children. They noted that they lacked training in understanding children with refugee experiences, parent communication, and culturally diverse practices. The need for continual professional development in working with refugees from culturally diverse backgrounds was highlighted by the teachers. Implications for teacher preparation and practices are discussed in light of existing research literature.

Published: February 2025

Pregnant women are vulnerable to various mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and excessive stress. These conditions are often exacerbated by a lack of social support and negative stigma, which discourage pregnant women from seeking help. If left unaddressed, mental health problems can negatively impact both maternal and fetal health, including increased risks of pregnancy complications and developmental disorders in the fetus. To address these challenges, a digital-based program was developed to provide social support and enhance the mental health of pregnant women. This community service initiative also included mental health education and relaxation training to help maintain psychological well-being among pregnant women. The evaluation results showed significant improvements across all assessed aspects. The total score increased from 5.5 in the pretest to 8.0 in the posttest. Knowledge of mental health increased from 5.5 to 8.0, strategies for maintaining mental health improved from 5.2 to 8.2, and understanding how to seek help rose from 5.3 to 8.1. Additionally, knowledge of relaxation techniques increased from 5.1 to 8.3, while the ability to apply these techniques independently improved from 4.9 to 8.0. These findings demonstrate that the digital-based program is effective in helping pregnant women address mental health challenges and improve their psychological well-being.

Abstract
The European Commission asked EFSA to review whether the authorisation of N,N‐bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)alkyl(C8‐C18)amine (FCM No 19) and N,N‐bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)alkyl(C8‐C18)amine hydrochlorides (FCM No 20) is still in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, as provided for in Article 12(3). The FCM Panel concluded that some uses of the substance N,N‐bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)alkyl(C8‐C18)amine (FCM No 19) are not in accordance with this Regulation, since the migration is likely to exceed the current SML(T) of 1.2 mg/kg food under certain conditions of use. Based on the provided data, the FCM Panel concluded that the FCM substance No 19, N,N‐bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)alkyl(C8‐C18)amine, is not of safety concern for the consumer if (i) the substance is used at up to 0.1% w/w as polymer production aid and as processing aid to manufacture polyolefin materials and articles of thickness up to 1 mm that are intended for contact with all types of food except infant foods. This exception for infant foods and the restriction for maximum thickness do not apply to caps of bottles; (ii) the migration does not exceed 5 mg/kg food; (iii) the source of the alkyl group is either from hydrogenated vegetable oil or synthetic from ethylene oligomers with a high degree of linear structure and (iv) the impurities do not exceed 5% w/w. As they bear unsaturation, PFAEO‐coco, PFAEO‐oleyl, PFAEO‐HT, PFAEO‐T and PFAO‐C18 do not fall within the scope of the FCM substance No 19. The information related to these substances was only considered supportive for FCM substance No 19. If they were intended to be used to manufacture FCMs, a proper application following the EFSA Guidance documents should be submitted. No uses of the FCM substance No 20, N,N‐bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)alkyl(C8‐C18)amine hydrochlorides, were claimed and no information was provided to support that the current authorisation is in accordance with the Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.

Authors:   Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Organization and Management, Janke Piotr , Zieliński Grzegorz ,   Muller - Die lila Logistik Polska
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The primary purpose of this paper is to use a process mining method on collected and
appropriately prepared event logs from the MES class system of the entity under study.
Design/methodology/approach: With the classical process mining approach using the XES
standard, the Alpha algorithm and Petri nets, event logs of the manufacturing process were
analysed. To perform the analysis, 379,341 rows of data were extracted from the MES system,
representing 7194 instances and 76 different activities.
Findings: a key result of the presented research is the conclusion regarding the quality of the
data generated by the controllers. Timestamps for events in the MES system may need to be
corrected.
Research limitations/implications: The paper presents a case study for a specific set of
controllers and an MES system. For this particular configuration, additional mechanisms are
required to synchronise time stamps from one location (e.g. an NTP server). The results may
be different for a different hardware and software configuration of the MES system.
Practical implications: The result of the research carried out in this paper also leads to
conclusions of a practical nature. Incorrect synchronisation of times makes it impossible to
control and analyse the process as a whole, even when the whole process is working correctly
as an assembly of individual operations. The guidelines developed were passed on to those
responsible for the operation of the MES system.
Originality/value: In the literature, various case studies can be found for process mining
including event logs of ERP systems of others. The authors did not find similar studies for MES
systems. In particular, the classical approach for log preparation requires awareness of potential
time synchronisation problems.

Authors: Pantsyreva Hanna
Published: February 2025

The subject of this work is the implementation of the strategy of sustainable development in Ukraine, which is based on ensuring national interests and fulfilling international obligations, it is envisaged to overcome imbalances that exist, in particular, in the environmental sphere, the harmonisation of global climate change trends with international standards through the introduction of scientific aspects of organic soybean production. The objective of the present study is to analyse the global soybean market and ascertain its particular significance within the global production of oil crops. This analysis will establish the sustainable soybean production zone in non-irrigated regions and the guaranteed production zone. The research methodology is based on European experience, taking into account the theoretical and methodological provisions of the scientific aspects of organic soybean production in Ukraine. The aim of this methodology is to greening agriculture, soil conservation and rational use of bioecosystems. It has been found that the rational use of natural resources through the organic production of soybeans, through the development and implementation of bio-organic farming technologies, improves the culture of agriculture, restores and improves soil fertility, and increases the amount of available protein products and nutritious fodder. The findings of the research indicate that the organic matter present in the soil functions as a vital indicator of its fertility. It plays a pivotal role in the nutritional sustenance of plants, the establishment of favourable physicochemical properties, and the migration of diverse chemical elements. The most significant soil processes are predominantly associated with the enhancement of the agricultural sector. It has been proven that a genuine source of organic matter for enhancing soil fertility is the development of organic models of soybean cultivation technology. Consequently, the substantiation of its agrobiological potential in selected areas of sustainable production on non-irrigated land will ensure the territorial transformation of the "soybean belt". A new stage in the production of soybean crops is substantiated, which will contribute to the rational use of hydrothermal resources of the region, increase the gross production of soybean seeds, biologisation of agriculture, and production of high-quality, environmentally friendly products.

An Approach to Music History in the Perspectives of Minimalism and Maximalism
Authors:   The Korean Society of Music Education Technology, Kang Hyojin , Han Sangeun
Published: February 2025

Minimalism can be traced from the restrained chants for religious purposes in the Middle Ages, a cappella monophony that is repeated in narrow ranges. It began as a reaction to the increasingly maximizing musical trend to represent the modern characteristics of minimal music. Rejecting maximizing musical inertia, Eric Satie suggested minimal music by aiming for religious meditation, mystery or psychological reaction. Since the 20th century, minimal music has developed into new areas such as ‘new sound' and ‘psychological appreciation' and has established itself as a genre. From the perspective of 'the evolution of music', 'the maximization of music' seems natural. In a word, maximal music evolved and developed with the growing size of the concert hall. The range of volume and music has expanded to match the size of the concert hall and the orchestra, and the sound consequentially has become richer. New techniques that will lead lengthy music such as harmony, melody, orchestration technique, and musical form have also been maximized to match the music. Maximalism has contributed academically and artistically to the development of the logic and sound effects of music that have been established for a long time. Since minimal music approaches the inner state of the listener, it presents a completely new attitude of appreciation, and it is meaningful that it encompasses not only basic emotions but also detailed emotions.
