A distributed cognitive approach in cybernetic modelling of human vision in a robotic swarm
Authors: Podpora Michal , Kawala-Sterniuk Aleksandra , Kovalchuk Viktoria , Bialic Grzegorz , Piekielny Pawel 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

Objectives
In this paper a novel approach regarding image analysis in Machine Vision applications was proposed.

Methods
The presented concept consists of two issues: (1) shifting some of the complex image processing and understanding algorithms from a mobile robot to distributed computer, and (2) designing the cognitive system (in a distributed computer) in such a way, that it would be common for numerous robots. The authors of this work focused on image processing, and they propose to accelerate vision understanding by using Cooperative Vision (CoV), i.e., to get video input from cooperating robots and process it in a centralized system.

Results
To verify the purposefulness of such approach, a comparative study is currently being conducted, involving a classical single-camera Computer Vision (CV) mobile robot and two (or more) single-camera CV robots cooperating in CoV mode.

Conclusions
The CoV system is being designed and implemented so that the algorithm would be able to utilize multiple video sources for recognition of objects on the very same scene.
Personal branding in an elevator: Developing job search pitch skills in tertiary level Business English pedagogy
Authors: Łącka-Badura Jolanta 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
This contribution reports on the use of genre-based instruction in developing students’ job search pitch skills in a Business English course taught at the tertiary level. The job search pitch (also referred to as personal branding pitch) is viewed as a subgenre of an elevator pitch; it is regarded as an essential communication tool to be mastered and used by students in future job search situations. Drawing on the available literature as well as the author’s own research and experience, the report demonstrates how the generic structure and rhetorical devices contributing to the realisation of the communicative function of job search pitch are incorporated in the job search module of an undergraduate Business English course taught at the University of Economics in Katowice. It also provides a brief account of students’ reflections and observations related to the usefulness of job search pitch skills and the challenges involved in their development.
The effect of the stress distribution of anchorage and stress in the textured layer on the durability of new anchorages
Authors: Tomaszewicz Dariusz , Jablonska-Krysiewicz Agnieszka , Szlendak Jerzy K. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The paper estimated the effect of the distribution of edge and shear stresses occurring in the façade texture layer of three-layer walls of large slab panel buildings, as well as the variability of these stresses depending on the anchorage strength of the anchorage. Bonded anchors with seven different diameters M8 ÷ M30, selected based on catalogues, were analysed. The traction stress was determined based on the destructive force, which is determined by the catalogues of manufacturers of bonded anchors. Depending on the choice of the method of repairing the connections between the textured layer and the structural layer, we give the three-layer walls a new character of work. One of the methods of strengthening the textured layer is the popular COPY-ECO system in Poland. It is a system of two anchors (horizontal and diagonal), reflecting the shape of the work of existing hangers. The article also analyses the variants of oblique anchorages for the M12 anchor with inclination angles of 30∘, 45∘ and 60∘. The extent to which the anchorage inclination angle has been assessed influences the higher parameters of the anchor’s bearing capacity due to the shearing of the textured layer.

Two-weighted inequalities for maximal operators related to Schrödinger differential operator
Authors: Vignatti Maria Amelia , Salinas Oscar , Hartzstein Silvia 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
We introduce classes of pairs of weights closely related to Schrödinger operators, which allow us to get two-weight boundedness results for the Schrödinger fractional integral and its commutators.
The techniques applied in the proofs strongly rely on one hand, boundedness results in the setting of finite measure spaces of homogeneous type and, on the other hand, Fefferman–Stein-type inequalities that connect maximal operators naturally associated to Schrödinger operators.
Homological epimorphisms, homotopy epimorphisms and acyclic maps
Authors: Chuang Joseph , Lazarev Andrey 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
We show that the notions of homotopy epimorphism and homological epimorphism in the category of differential graded algebras are equivalent.
As an application we obtain a characterization of acyclic maps of topological spaces in terms of induced maps of their chain algebras of based loop spaces. In the case of a universal acyclic map we obtain, for a wide class of spaces, an explicit algebraic description for these induced maps in terms of derived localization.

Abstract
In order to identifying of high yielding compatible sunflower hybrids for different regions of Iran, a set of 10 exotic hybrids from Serbia, Turkey, and Italy and four Iranian hybrids were evaluated for agronomic traits; days to flowering and maturity, plant height, head and stem diameter, 1000-achenes weight, achene number per head, oil content and achene, and oil yield. The experiments were conducted as completely randomized block design with four replications in Alborz, Mazandaran, Khuzestan, and West Azerbaijan Provinces for two years (2017–2018). According to the results growing period of the hybrids were variable from 86 days for Dukat to 98 days for Fantaziya. The hybrids Slatki and Dukat had the highest (70 g) and lowest (56 g) 1000-achenes weight. The highest oil content was observed in 08TR003 (45.6%). Among the locations, Miandoab had the highest achene yield (3110 kg/ha). In Sari; the hybrids Barzegar, Fantaziya, and Slatki (3080, 2893, and 2853 kg/ha respectively), In Dezful; Barzegar, Cartago, and Oscar (3234, 3409, and 3226 kg/ha respectively), in Karaj; Oscar, Shams, and Fantaziya (3138, 3081, and 3050 kg/ha respectively), and in Miandob Shams, Fantaziya, and Slatki (4093, 4038, and 3895 kg/ha respectively) had the highest achene yield. Considering overall mean Fantaziya, Shams, and Oskar had the highest achene yield (3286, 3145, and 3087 kg/ha respectively), as well as Fantaziya followed by Barzegar and Shams had the highest oil yield (1396, 1335, and 1330 kg/ha respectively). Considering phenotypic variability among the exotic hybrids Fantaziya, Oskar, Slatki, Novak, 08TR003, and Meteor with lower coefficient of variation and higher achene yield considered as the stable higher yielding hybrids in four test locations of Iran. Through identifying high-yielding and compatible hybrids, the results of this study can assists in increasing of sunflower yield and production in Iran.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Photo catalytic degradation of pollutants is one of the techniques used for treatment of dye contaminated wastewater. TiO2 has attracted much attention as photo catalyst for treatment of contaminated water. In this study, the photo catalytic performance of TiO2 has been enhanced by formation of p–n Co3O4-TiO2 hetero-junction. The p–n Co3O4-TiO2 hetero-junction was prepared by wet incipient impregnation method and characterized by various techniques. The photo catalytic activity of prepared composite was evaluated by photo degradation of methyl orange. The as prepared Co3O4-TiO2 composite was found as effective catalyst than Co3O4 and TiO2. The higher photo catalytic activity was attributed to p–n junction formed between Co3O4 and TiO2. The degradation data was analyzed according to Eley–Rideal mechanism in terms of 1st and 2nd order kinetics.
The Social Practice of Being Born Again: Historical and Cultural-Sociological Perspectives on Conversionist Piety
Authors: Krause Katharina 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
What kind of practices, emotions and self-understandings are linked to conversion? This contribution offers a set of analytical tools which help to understand processes of constructing, performing and maintaining conversionist identity. In doing so, it builds on both, source material related to 17th and 18th century New England and conversion research in the area of sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies. Holistic in its approach, it reconstructs conversionist piety as a social practice that builds up into pious cultures of body, emotion, and meaning-making. The analytical concepts developed on the way may prove to be a starting point for further empirical research on lived religion in Practical Theology and Religious Studies.
Religious Speech as Resource. A Research Report
Authors: Conrad Ruth , Hardenberg Roland 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Religious speeches aim at social efficacy. They are therefore an important resource for religious communities and groups. The article pursues a cultural concept of resources, which does not ask about the benefit of a resource, but about its values in and effects on societies. The crucial elements are the social dynamics, actions and relationships that are closely related to culturally shaped interests in and use of resources. This concept is brought into conversation with more recent research on Christian and Islamic preaching cultures. Anthropological research in particular has repeatedly pointed to the social value attributed to preaching. This interdisciplinary article shows the yield of the dialogue between anthropology and practical theology.

Published: July 2020

AbstractObjectivesTo compare pregnancy outcomes with medication assisted treatment using. methadone or buprenorphine in term mothers with opioid use disorder.MethodsA cohort of women receiving medication assisted treatment with either methadone or buprenorphine were identified from delivery records over a 10‐year period. Women were excluded with delivery <37 weeks, multiple gestations, or a known anomalous fetus. Maternal demographics, medications, mode of delivery, birthweight, newborn length of stay, and neonatal abstinence syndrome were extracted. The study was IRB approved and a p-value of <0.05 was significant.ResultsThere were 260 women, 140 (53.8%) with methadone use and 120 (46.2%) with buprenorphine use. Groups were similar for maternal age, race, parity, homeless rate, tobacco use, mode of delivery and incidence of neonatal abstinence syndrome. The methadone group had a lower mean newborn birthweight (2874±459 g) and a greater incidence of low birth weight (11.4%) than the buprenorphine group (3282±452 g; p<0.001 and 2.5%; p=0.006). The incidence of neonatal abstinence syndrome was similar between groups (97% methadone vs. 92.5% buprenorphine; p=0.08). The methadone group had a longer newborn length of stay (11.4+7.4 days) and more newborn treatment with morphine (44.6%) than the buprenorphine group (8.2+4.4 days; p<0.001 and 24.2%; p<0.001). Maternal methadone use was an independent predictor for a newborn length of hospital stay >7 days (OR 3.61; 95% confidence interval 1.32–9.86; p=0.01).ConclusionsMedication assisted treatment favors buprenorphine use when compared to. methadone with an increased birthweight, reduced need for newborn treatment, and a shorter newborn length of stay in term infants.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)–associated infection (COVID-19) is affecting populations worldwide. This statement may serve as guidance for infection prevention and safe ultrasound practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultrasound examination is a fundamental part of obstetric care, yet it is a potential vector for transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Decontamination methods should always be implemented for ultrasound equipment, especially in the presence of suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases. There must be workflow policies to protect pregnant women and healthcare providers from nosocomial cross transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Cleaning and disinfecting of equipment must be in accordance with their potential of pathogen transmission. Consider using telemedicine and genetic technologies as an adjunctive of obstetric ultrasound to reduce patient crowding. Patient triage and education of healthcare providers of infection prevention are crucial to minimize cross contamination of SARS-CoV-2 during obstetric ultrasound.

Total parenteral nutrition-induced Wernicke’s encephalopathy after oncologic gastrointestinal surgery
Authors: Fedeli Piergiorgio , Justin Davies Richard , Cirocchi Roberto , Popivanov Georgi , Bruzzone Paolo , Giustozzi Michela 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Carl Wernicke described the disease bearing his name in 1881 and reported three cases characterized by the presence of mental confusion, ataxia, and ophthalmoplegia. Wernicke’s disease is mainly observed in alcoholic patients, due to decreased vitamin intake as a consequence of an unbalanced diet, and a reduction of absorption due to the effects of alcohol. Likewise, inadequate vitamin intake is prevalent in older patients. Wernicke’s encephalopathy due to inappropriate total parenteral nutrition (TPN) occurs infrequently; recently, there is an increase in the literature concerning Wernicke’s encephalopathy in patients after general and bariatric surgeries. We present two cases of Wernicke’s encephalopathy after oncologic gastrointestinal surgery by failure to administer vitamin B1 during TPN; to our knowledge, these are the first two cases of Wernicke’s encephalopathy after colorectal surgery for cancer. In our opinion, timely diagnosis and treatment are mandatory to avoid nonfunctional recovery and consequent malpractice legal actions as well as an increase in the health-care costs correlated with the prolonged hospital stay and with the nonfunctional recovery.
Near-field plates and the near zone of metasurfaces
Authors: Merlin Roberto 
Published: July 2020

AbstractA brief, tutorial account is given of the differences between the near and far regions of the electromagnetic field emphasizing the source-dependent behavior of the former and the universal properties of the latter. Field patterns of near-field plates, that is, metasurfaces used for sub-wavelength applications, are discussed in some detail. Examples are given of fields that decay away from the plates in an exponential manner, a ubiquitous feature of many interface problems, and metasurfaces for which the decay is not exponential, but algebraic. It is also shown that a properly designed system of two parallel near-field plates can produce fields that exhibit pseudo minima, which are potentially useful for near-field tweezer-like applications.

Trans-border Friendships and Strategic Inclinations: Some Insights on the Molecular Emergence of Subversion in Chile
Authors: Donoso Patricio Azócar , Retamales Hugo Sir 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
In the last 30 years, Chile has crowned itself as one of the most singular, sophisticated, and cruel reference points of the global neoliberal laboratory. This article delves into the conceptual thinking of that laboratory by investigating the formation of an emotive-financial consensus based on the operation of institutionalizing sadism and a masochism of merit that profits from the affective destruction of collective intelligence. It situates this dystopic Chilean reality within the broader Latin American context, where the delicate administration of crisis and fear exposes the affective inclinations of persistence and resistance.
Brexit and the limits of Article 50 Treaty of the European Union
Authors: Barata Mario 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThis article aims to analyse the limits of Article 50 of the Treaty of the European Union (TEU) which expressly consecrates a Member State’s unilateral right to leave the Union. However, the provision seems to raise more questions than it answers due to the lack of concrete legal guidelines, and Brexit has underlined this reality. For example, the exit procedure contemplates the possibility of signing a withdrawal agreement with the European Union (EU), but it does not discipline its content. In our opinion, any agreement must regulate three questions: fundamental rights, financial settlement, and borders. A second limitation refers to the possibility of a Member State withdrawing its withdrawal notice. This question has recently been decided by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in a manner that leaves the EU without any say in the process. Finally, the provision does not deal with the constitutional implications of withdrawal: treaty revision, institutional deadlock, and institutional representation. In sum, these critical omissions are analysed considering the relevant legal doctrine, jurisprudence, as well as the Brexit process. It also proposed that Article 50 of the TEU be amended in the future.
