Logika kwantowa a empiryczność logiki [polski oryginał]
Authors: Drozdowska Elżbieta 
Published: February 2025

W artykule podjęty jest problem empiryczności logiki, czyli możliwości zmiany logiki z powodów empirycznych. Omówiony jest argument Hilary’ego Putnama za empirycznością logiki bazujący na odkryciach z zakresu mechaniki kwantowej. Putnam uważał, że należy odrzucić logikę klasyczną i zastąpić ją logiką kwantową. Pogląd ten zwany jest „tezą Putnama”. Spotkała się ona z ostrą krytyką, m.in. Michaela Dummetta i Saula Kripkego. Choć ich krytyka jest w dużej mierze trafna, to nie uderza w ideę empiryczności logiki jako takiej. Celem niniejszego tekstu jest pokazanie, że można przedstawić odkrycie niedystrybutywności sądów kwantowych jako empiryczny fakt mający wpływ na rewizję adekwatności pewnych praw logiki, a więc że empiria może mieć wpływ na logikę.
The Role of Culture in Race: A Critique of Jeffers
Authors: Mustafa Talhah 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The nature of race is a complicated discipline. There is a plethora of nuanced details that must be considered and should those nuanced details not be considered, the account being advanced might not hold. Chike Jeffers’s cultural constructionist account may seem attractive on the surface due to its intuitive nature, but as this article argues, does not hold when we begin to unpack it. The main issue with Jeffers’s cultural constructionist account of race is that it is not clear what he means by “culture.” There is a problem of ambiguity being smuggled in and Jeffers needs to address it. This article shows where that ambiguity problem is and how it specifically affects his account. It is argued that it is not clear what guiding features demarcate cultural groups.

Published: February 2025

Background:
The number of revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures continues to rise. Both advanced chronological age and comorbidity burden are associated with poor surgical outcomes. However, the question remains whether these two factors have a synergistic effect. Does a patient with advanced age and notable comorbidity burden carry an exponentially increased risk of complications after revision TKA? This study aims to investigate the effect of chronological age on various Charlson-Deyo Comorbidity Index (CDI) categories among revision TKA patients.

Methods:
A total of 144,402 patients who underwent elective revision TKA between 2006 and 2022 were identified from the Premier Healthcare Database. The primary outcome was the effect of chronological age on surgical outcomes following revision TKA, while stratified by the CDI. The analyzed postoperative complications in this study included postoperative cardiac complications, pneumonia, acute kidney injury, infections, central nervous system complications, and intensive care unit admissions. Spearman rank correlation coefficients and logistic regression models were used for analysis. Age was evaluated as both a continuous variable and categorical variable (<80 years versus 80+ years).

Results:
Both CDI and chronological age were associated with worse outcomes, with odds ratio (OR) 1.358 to 1.829 and OR 1.015 to 1.070, respectively, across these outcomes of interest. Patients aged 80 years and older had a markedly higher risk of postoperative complications across all CDI categories (OR 1.698 to 3.695) compared with patients younger than 80 years of age. The effect of chronological age on surgical outcomes does not vary under different CDI categories as chronological age presented similar patterns of OR trends on complications.

Conclusion:
Chronological age and CDI were independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients after revision TKA. Chronological age and CDI did not exhibit a synergistic effect on outcomes after revision TKA as the trends of impact from chronological age on outcome remained similar across different CDI categories.
A typology of comparators and comparisons in EU equality law

Published: February 2025

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"font face="TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT, serif"comparison also deflects EU equality law from its main task: identifying and dismantling systems of marginalization that cause discrimination. This article disrupts the prevailing narrative about comparison as an inescapable feature of equality analysis. A closer look at comparison reveals its objective veneer that conceals its commitment to sustaining a formal model of equality. This makes equality law an assimilationist, instead of an inclusive device. By deviating from comparison, EU equality law can advance towards an inclusive understanding of equality that centres intersectionality. The key therefore lies in the development of comparator-free equality analysis, which relies on the understanding that discrimination is contingent on unequal power and resource distribution, creating systems of marginalization. Hence, instead of comparing a claimant to a decontextualized intercategorical or intracategorical comparator, comparator-free analysis conducts a dignitary harm assessment whereby discrimination is contextualized in the past and contemporary patterns of disadvantage underlying it to establish a prima facie case of discrimination. /font

Design of an Automatic Battery Swapping System for E-Bikes with LCD Voltage Monitoring and Dual Battery Management
Authors:   Diploma Scholar, Automobile Engineering & Sri Krishna Polytechnic College, Tamil Nadu, INDIA, S Ajay Kumar 
Published: February 2025

In recent years, electric bikes (e-bikes) have emerged as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to conventional vehicles. A crucial challenge in the development of e-bikes is the management of battery life, as the limited charge capacity of a single battery may cause the vehicle to stop unexpectedly. This paper proposes an automatic battery swapping system for e-bikes, designed to seamlessly switch between two batteries to ensure continuous operation. The system monitors the battery voltage and automatically switches from Battery 1 to Battery 2 when the voltage level of Battery 1 drops below a pre-defined threshold. Additionally, an LCD display provides real-time battery voltage feedback to the rider. This approach not only maximizes battery life but also ensures that the e-bike runs smoothly with minimal rider intervention, as the batteries are only charged when their charge level falls below 20%. The circuit employs an Arduino microcontroller, voltage sensors, a relay, and an LCD display to manage and monitor the batteries.

Key Words: E-bike, Automatic Battery Swapping, Arduino, Dual Battery Management, LCD Display, Battery Voltage, Voltage Sensing, Relay Circuit, Battery Life, Renewable Energy.

Youth leadership is essential for nation-building, providing early exposure to governance and community service. The Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) offers young people a platform to take on leadership roles in local government, allowing them to engage in decision-making and implement youth-focused programs. The experiences of SK Presidents often extend beyond their official duties, featuring various challenges, opportunities, and personal growth. This study explored the lived experiences of leadership among the Sangguniang Kabataan Presidents of Pangantucan, Bukidnon. The researchers used narrative inquiry or phenomenology to highlight the exploration of the key informants' lived experiences to understand the issue. It sought to answer the domains of inquiry: the lived experiences of the Sangguniang Kabataan officials on their leadership styles, the essence or meaning of their lived experience, and the factors that can improve or deteriorate their leadership. To collect data, the researchers used the descriptive-qualitative method. The study's eight key informants are the current SK President of Pangantucan, Bukidnon, where the study was conducted, and key informants who serve the public. The researchers were the primary instrument, a validated interview guide, and audio recordings were transcribed into written text. The researcher gathered significant statements from the outputs of the key informant interviews during data analysis, and five themes were generated. These themes served as feeders to the study's production. The study identified leadership challenges faced by key informants in the Sangguniang Kabataan of Pangantucan, Bukidnon. A proposed leadership model aims to address these challenges and promote effective governance in the barangay.

Introduction: Investment in education is a determining factor in improving its quality, especially investment in innovative tools such as modern educational platforms. Objectives: The aim is to characterise the critical determinants of the investment approach of higher education institutions to develop educational platforms. Methods: The paper uses correlation and regression analysis, as well as analysis of secondary survey data. Results: As a result of the study, the main determinants of the investment approach of HEIs to the development of educational platforms were characterised. These are the motivation for investment, student expectations, and the model and sources of investment. It was found that the efficiency, accessibility of education, and productivity of human capital are positively correlated with education expenditures, innovation, and the level of adaptation to online education. At the same time, the most substantial impact was observed from the adaptation of online education on the indicator of the human capital index (the HCI). Conclusions: It was concluded that the efficiency, accessibility of education and productivity of human capital are the key goals and motivations for investment in education. Through the analysis of survey data, the critical expectations of students from learning on online platforms were identified. An international experience analysis has helped identify the most popular investment models.

Published: February 2025

<p><strong>Background</strong>: There have been few studies on the long-term effects of hydrogen peroxide and dehydroascorbate (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and DHA) on biotic stress, especially in potato plants infected with <em>Candidatus</em> Liberibacter solanacearum (Lso) that cause the Zebra chip disease, characterized by browning of the tubers, reduced productivity and anomalies in the morphology of the plant. <strong>Objective</strong>: To evaluate the long-term effects of DHA and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2 </sub>treatments on the reduction of symptoms in potato plants infected with Lso. This research was realized at the INIFAP facilities at Experimental Site Metepec, Mexico State. <strong>Methodology</strong>: Single nodes were waterlogged in DHA, H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, or distilled water, followed by culture in Murashige and Skoog medium (MS), and microplants obtained were transplanted in greenhouse conditions. Seventy-three days after transplanting, leaf water potential (Yw), chlorophyll, H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2 </sub>content, and catalase activity (CAT) were determined. <strong>Results</strong>: DHA significantly increased minituber weight and chlorophyll content in the long term. It also, reduced H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> content and increased CAT in infected plants, resulting in increased minituber weight. A long-term effect of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2 </sub>was observed, as it induced significant increases in stem height, shoot fresh and dry weight, relative chlorophyll content, and minituber weight.<strong> Implications:</strong> DHA and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> participated as signal molecules, triggering physiological changes promoting increases in productivity in plants infected with Lso, justifying the importance of the study of these molecules under biotic stress conditions. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Long-term effects of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2 </sub>and DHA on the amelioration of symptoms of potato Zebra chip associated with Lso solanacearum were demonstrated.</p><div id="gtx-trans" style="position: absolute; left: 103px; top: 48px;"> </div>

Context.—
Distinguishing between renal oncocytic tumors, such as renal oncocytoma (RO), and a subset of tumors with overlapping characteristics, including the recently identified low-grade oncocytic tumor (LOT), can present a diagnostic challenge for pathologists owing to shared histopathologic features.

Objective.—
To develop an automatic computational classifier for stratifying whole slide images of biopsy and resection specimens into 2 distinct groups: RO and LOT.

Design.—
A total of 269 whole slide images from 125 cases across 6 institutions were collected. A weakly supervised attention-based multiple-instance–learning deep learning (DL) model was trained and initially evaluated through 5-fold cross validation with case-level stratification, followed by validation using an independent holdout data set. Quantitative performance evaluation was based on accuracy and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

Results.—
The developed model data set yielded generalizable performance, with a 5-fold average testing accuracy of 84% (AUC = 0.78), and a closely aligning accuracy of 83% (AUC = 0.92) on the independent holdout data set.

Conclusions.—
The proposed artificial intelligence approach contributes toward a comprehensive solution for addressing commonly encountered renal oncocytic neoplasms, encompassing well-established entities like RO along with the challenging “gray zone” LOT, thereby proving applicable in clinical practice.
Challenges Faced by Pakistani Schools in Saudi Arabia: A Case Study of Internal Administration Systems
Authors: Qaisar Khan  
Published: February 2025

Pakistani schools in Saudi Arabia face significant challenges in internal regulations, impacting their efficiency. To examine the issues a quantitative approach was used. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 310 participants, including school administrators, teachers, and parents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential tests (e.g., chi-square and regression analysis) in SPSS to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings confirm that ineffective communication between the School Management Council, teachers, and parents significantly hampers administrative efficiency. Cultural and legal differences between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia contribute to operational inefficiencies, necessitating adaptation strategies. The study highlights the urgent need for improved communication, infrastructure, professional training, and standardized financial management policies to enhance administrative effectiveness in Pakistani schools in Saudi Arabia. Practical recommendations include implementing digital communication platforms, professional development programs, financial oversight mechanisms, and measures to prevent the abuse of power by the School Management Council. These initiatives will contribute to a more structured and efficient school administration system, ultimately improving the educational experience and quality of education for both Pakistani and non-Pakistani expatriate students.
