Paracelsus’ 16 th Century Philosophy Applied to Current Evolutionary Genetics
Authors: Kewin Jenna 
Published: April 2021

Paracelsus contributed greatly to medical philosophy in the early sixteenth century, yet his reputation was so tainted by his hypocrisy that he left few followers and is often forgotten. Many aspects of his teachings, however, can be applied to current theories governing evolutionary genetic research. His claim, “Where diseases arise, one can also find the roots of health” hints at the intimate relationships between health and disease that are the foundations of fascinating research. In many devastating medical cases, it has been found that expression of one genetic disease can confer resistance for another. Sickle­cell anemia sufferers have an increased resistance to malaria, cystic fibrosis is associated with decreased susceptibility to influenza, tuberculosis and cholera, and even the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV­1) is theorized to have stemmed from a selection for resistance to the Bubonic Plague. These examples demonstrate the ambiguities in distinguishing between health and disease. While scientists today would likely scoff at Paracelsus’ dated medical rants, when they discover a disease favoured by natural selection, one of the first questions is how it could have conferred a benefit ancestrally. Applying Paracelsus’ theories to a discipline as contrary to evolutionary genetics demonstrates both the robustness of his claims, and the potential impact philosophy can have on medical, scientific and sociological questions surrounding challenging epidemics

Enhancing Understanding in Interdisciplinary Communicatio
Authors: Peiris Dilmini 
Published: April 2021

Over the years we see that interdisciplinary teams are increasingly common in industry, government, and society in general. It is critical to be able to integrate knowledge and skills from several disciplines in order to evolve toward a state of "collective intelligence," which entails functioning more like a coherent, intelligent organism than like a collection of disassociated, independent thinkers.This presentation will introduce a new model for communicating effectively. It will describe ways in which the communication
modalities interact. It will present strategies for capitalizing on the potential of each modality to enhance communication among different discourse communities.
Gendered Secularization and the Body Policing of Muslim Women
Authors: Killoran Raissa 
Published: April 2021

The many usages of the term ‘secularism’ have generated an ambiguity in the word; as a political guise, it may be used to engender anti-religious fervor. Particularly in regards to veiling among female Muslim adherents, the attainment of a secular state and touting of the necessity of dismantling religious symbols have functioned as linguistic shields. By calling a “burka ban” necessary or even egalitarian secularization, legislators employ ‘secularization’ as jargon for political ends, enacting a stance of supremacy under the semblance of progress. Secularization has come to function as a political tool - in the name of it, governments may prescribe which cultural symbols are normative and which are of ‘other’ cultures or religious origins. As such, the identification of some religious symbols as foreign and others as normative is a usage of secularization for normalization of dominant religious expression. In this, there is an implicit neocolonialism; by imposing standards of cultural normalcy which are definitively nonMuslim, such policies attempt to divorce Muslims from Islam. Further, I intend to investigate the gendered aspect of secularization politics. By critiquing clothing and body policing of women, I will demonstrate how secularization projects use the female body and dress as a site for display. By rendering the female physically emblematic of the honor and virtue of an ‘other’ culture, those enacting secularization norms target women’s bodies to act as visual exhibitions of the dominant culture’s hegemony. Here, we see gendered secularization at work - female bodies become controlled by the antireligious zeal of the state, while the state carries out this control on the predicate that it is the religious group enacting unjust control. As such, the policing of female Muslim bodies is symbolic of the policing of Islam as a whole; it acts as an illustration of an imposed, gendered secularization project.
Skunk – The Problem of Short-Termism in Probability
Authors: Kong David 
Published: April 2021

In the game of Skunk a pair of dice is rolled again and again and as long as you remain “standing” you can keep adding the totals to your score. At any time you can “sit” and then you take home what you have won. However if you are standing and a “one” comes up on either die, the game is over and you lose everything. An optimal strategy is traditionally developed by comparing the expected score of standing with the expected score of sitting. As long as E(standing) > E(sitting), you would continue to roll the dice. As you accumulate points, you begin risking more points. At one point it becomes too risky to go forward. However, we found this traditional methodology to be flawed (though the answer remains the same). This solution focuses only on the expected score in the next roll, instead of factoring in the expected total score that can be gained over indefinite future. The error does not come to light until weanalyze a variation where you are also allowed to choose the number of dice to use. All the equations (using the idea E(standing) > E(sitting)) we solved led us down a misleading and often intractable road. Yet, through reasoning, we figured that there is no strategy better than throwing 1-dice at a time. Proving this is quite difficult, because it had to be shown that the pure 1-dice strategy is better than all of the other (infinite) strategies, since the game can go on forever.
Decolonizing Libraries, Archives and Museums: Communicating Partial Perspectives and Multiple World Views
Authors: Craig Romany 
Published: April 2021

Libraries, Archives and Museums are interesting institutions as they share common goals of preserving and providing access to ‘knowledge.’ This knowledge, however, is not neutral. The history of these institutions began in the ‘West’ as a nation building project meant to solidify notions of superiority over ‘other’ nations and peoples. The processes involved in selecting what knowledge and artifacts are worthy of preservation and are thus available to the public, provide insight into who is valuable to the nation and what knowledge is legitimate. The colonizing function of these institutions is evident as they alienate, silence, stigmatize and erase the lives of indigenous peoples. Yet, this need not be the case. For professionals in these fields, decolonizing these spaces involves more than simply making note of best practices for indigenous peoples as a new user group. Continued involvement in a process of decolonization must begin with the acknowledgement of multiple valid world views and multiple valid ways of knowing.

Pokdarwis involvement as a tourism manager is carried out by taking four stages of participation: namely, participation in planning through the activity of conveying ideas in the form of criticism and suggestions at the planning meeting for tourism village development activities. Furthermore, the implementation stage is manifested in the form of personnel participating in the form of mutual assistance activities to improve the condition of tourist facilities, environmental maintenance by cleaning up trash on the hiking trail and becoming parking guards. On the other hand, the form of skill participation carried out by the community is manifested through activities of making tourist souvenirs and promotion on social media. Meanwhile, the utilization stage is carried out through efforts to open business opportunities and opportunities for youth who do not have a job. Finally, the evaluation stage is carried out by taking a comparative study activity to other Tourism Villages as a comparison to see the success of the Bukit Kaba Tourism Village.
Challenges faced in homoeopathic treatment in autism – A case series
Authors: Kamath Swapna 
Published: April 2021

Objectives:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most puzzling and complex of the neurodevelopmental disorders, especially regarding its diagnosis and management. The objective of this study was to achieve an in-depth understanding of the various challenges faced by a homoeopath and how homoeopathy is to be used conjointly with other ancillary measures in managing ASD. The case series highlights these and presents an integrated understanding of various concepts required by a homoeopath in effectively managing children with ASD.

Materials and Methods:
Detailed histories of the two cases were taken from the caregivers. Both patients were also observed in their day-to-day functioning, at school and during therapies. This further contributed to the early detection and diagnosis, planning appropriate management strategies, assessing the action of the selected remedy and deriving inferences. Homoeopathic treatment was used along with the required ancillary measures.

Results:
The challenges in managing the cases were mainly with respect to formulating a diagnosis, understanding the importance of disease evolution, differentiating between the common and the characteristic symptoms of the disease, application of homoeopathic principles and arriving at a similimum. On reflection, it showed the value of using the bio-psychosocial model to highlight the relationships among the different forces, determine the evolution in individual cases and emphasise the need for holistic intervention. The importance of a sound knowledge of the principles of homoeopathy and their correct application to arrive at a similimum was also learnt through reviewing the results of intervention. Further, the results showed that homoeopathy along with ancillary measures helped to bring about a significant change in functioning on all fronts and a better adaptation of the children to their environments.

Conclusion:
Homoeopathic intervention in children with autism holds a promise. Integration with ancillary measures enhances the outcome. Homoeopaths would need to train themselves in applying the bio-psychosocial model and integrating it with homoeopathic principles to ensure a favourable outcome. The findings of this study can provide important leads for professionals involved in the care of children with ASD and the affected families.
Screening in cryptogenic brain abscess: Do not forget pulmonary arteriovenous malformations
Authors: Rens Jasmien , Van Thielen Thomas , Derweduwen Aurelie , Goedseels Koen , Hes Robert , de Jong Lars 
Published: April 2021

Background:
Brain abscess usually occurs secondary to trauma, through contiguous spread (e.g.; dental infections, [paranasal] sinusitis, otitis, and mastoiditis), after intracranial neurosurgical procedures, or through hematogenous spread in case of an arteriovenous (AV) shunt, for example; atrial septum defect. Although uncommon, another possible cause of AV shunt which can facilitate brain abscess is a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). We report a case of brain abscess secondary to a solitary PAVM and review the literature.

Case Description:
A 74-year-old male patient presented with headaches, fatigue, low-grade fever, and homonymous hemianopsia. He was diagnosed with a brain abscess in the left occipital lobe. A chest computed tomography (CT) with intravenous (IV) contrast was performed because of fever and respiratory insufficiency in a period where screening for COVID-19 in suspected patients was important. A solitary PAVM of the left lung was diagnosed. Initial stereotactic burr hole drainage of the abscess was insufficient and resection of the abscess was deemed necessary. Routine workup did not reveal any additional pathology apart from the PAVM. After treatment of the cerebral abscess, the PAVM was treated with embolization using an endovascular plug.

Conclusion:
It is recommended to screen for PAVM by chest CT with IV contrast in patients with brain abscess when no obvious source of infection can be identified.
Methods of structural synthesis and automated configuration of the program architecture of information system.
Authors: Chaynikov S.I. , Solodovnikov A.S. 
Published: April 2021

Authors represent analysis of the methods of structural synthesis and customization of the information system software. It is indicated that modern methods do not satisfy the requirements for effective adaptation of software for time-varying end-user requirements. It is shown that when developing formal graph models of software architecture using existing methods, evolutionary changes in end-user requirements are usually not considered, which leads to difficulties in solving the problem of customization. The mismatch betweenthe capabilities of existing design technologies and the practical needs to adapt software leads to the problem of developing effective formal approaches to customization. The analysis of the methods confirms the relevance of solving the problem of developing effective formal approaches to customization of software, taking into accountthe specifics of a particular enterprise and a particular workplace by using tier-parallel graph models of softwarearchitecture.
Draft of Rainbow electronic signature standard and its main properties and application possibilities
Authors: Garmash D.V. , Maleeva G.A. , Kandiy S.O. 
Published: April 2021

According to the results of the second stage of the international competition for research and development of standards for asymmetric cryptographic transformations of the post-quantum period, the Rainbow electronic signature (ES) mechanism received a positive assessment and recognition as a finalist. Its important advantages over other post-quantum ESs consist in less complexity of direct and inverse transformations, i.e., signature generation and verification, as well as significantly reduced signature length. At the same time, the length of its public key is quite large. Therefore, it is thought that Rainbow is not suitable as a general-purpose ES algorithm to replace the algorithms currently defined in FIPS 186-4. In particular, large public keys make certificate chains extremely large. However, there are applications that do not need to send keys too often, so this disadvantage in these cases may be insignificant. Under these conditions, the Rainbow ES mechanism can find application, including that one increasing the diversity of postquantum ESs. Also, it is significantly problematic to limit the security levels of Rainbow ES 256 bits against classical and 128 bits against quantum cryptanalysis.
The subject of this article is the analysis and generalization of designs of the Oil-Vinegar public key authentication systems mechanism based on the Rainbow ES use. This is an important direction in creating secure and efficient authentication systems for practical applications using public keys, such as inexpensive smart cards, when speed is required in the production and verification of ES. A feature of such authentication mechanism is the implementation of the idea of a multilevel Oil-Vinegar system. It is believed that the ES-based authentication system should be more secure in terms of cryptographic stability and more efficient in terms of widespread use in low-power, etc. applications. The importance of solving this problem lies in the potential use of the Rainbow mechanism as a secure and highly efficient public-key authentication system based on ES.

One of the urgent scientific and technical problems of our time is the development of methods and means of protecting various objects against the impact of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) which carry a significant potential threat to various areas of human activity – military, economic and everyday life. Significant technical capabilities, a wide range and relatively low cost of UAVs, combined with the difficulties of their observation and control, are the main features of this problem. Currently, radar, acoustic, optical and infrared methods with the appropriate facilities are widely used to detect and observe unmanned aerial vehicles.
The article discusses the information capabilities of each of the methods and tools that are a part of an integrated system for detecting, measuring coordinates and parameters of UAV motion. It is shown that the radar method has the best search capabilities, while optical, infrared and acoustic methods are inferior to it. An algorithm for sequential connection of information resources available in an integrated system is discussed, taking into account the availability of search capabilities of the relevant means.
New effective methods of complex processing of multimodal signals and images in a complex integrated surveillance system for unmanned aerial vehicles, built taking into account the natural spatial separation of various information channels and using target designation, have been synthesized. The features of combining multimodal information with the use of neural network technologies when using target designations in an integrated system are shown.

A simplified structural diagram of a single-cavity microwave dielectric meter designed to control the complex permittivity of liquid fuels and lubricants is presented. The structural diagram of the microwave sensor of the dielectrometer, made in the form of a parallelepiped, inside which waveguide paths, a resonator, controlled and reference generators, mixing and detector diodes and attenuators is considered. A general view of the lower part of the microwave sensor housing is given.
The technique of initial tuning of the microwave sensor is considered, during which the initial frequencies of the controlled and reference oscillators are set and the range of electronic frequency tuning of the frequency of the controlled generator is determined.
A method for calibrating a dielectrometer with an empty cuvette is presented. This method makes it possible to determine the suitability of the cuvette for its use in measuring the complex dielectric constant of samples of fuels and lubricants, and to exclude the influence of the dispersion of the dielectric constant of the material of the cuvette on the results of measuring the complex dielectric constant of fuels and lubricants.
The technique of studying the parameters of samples of fuels and lubricants is considered, based on which the measurement data are presented on a complex plane for analyzing the results obtained.
A technique for studying the difference between a fuel and lubricant sample and its standard is presented, which includes measuring the parameters of an empty cell, measuring the real and imaginary components of the complex dielectric constant of the fuel and lubricant sample and its standard, and analyzing the differences between their real and imaginary components on a complex plane.
