GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS UNDER JAPANESE LAW
Authors: СЕДОВ П.Д. 
Published: May 2024

Статья посвящена актуальным аспектам регулирования географических указаний в Японии. Отмечается, что в правовом регулировании Японии имеется ряд особенностей, которые присущи только дан- ной юрисдикции. В России географические указания появились относительно недавно и только начинают ста- новиться популярным средством индивидуализации. В связи с тем, что гражданское законодательство Рос- сийской Федерации, регулирующее географическое указание, только появилось, исследование зарубежного опыта регулирования даст возможность успешно адаптировать данный опыт для России. Представляется, что в ближайшей перспективе необходимо продолжать активную регуляторную и практическую работу в направле- нии совершенствования механизма правового регулирования географического указания.
The article is devoted to current aspects of the regulation of geographical indications in Japan. It is noted that the legal regulation of Japan has a number of features that are unique to this jurisdiction. In Russia, geographical indications appeared relatively recently and are just beginning to become a popular means of individualization. Due to the fact that the civil legislation of the Russian Federation regulating geographical indications has just appeared, the study of foreign regulatory experience will make it possible to successfully adapt this experience for Russia. It seems that in the near future it is necessary to continue active regulatory and practical work towards improving the mechanism of legal regulation of geographical indications.

Authors: Dongwen Zheng  
Published: May 2024

It proposes an optimization approach for electric field simulation in 500kV gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) circuit breakers that use GPU acceleration. Accurate modelling of electric field distribution within GIS circuit breakers is critical for assuring the dependability and safety of high voltage power systems. However, the computational complexity of simulating these systems presents substantial obstacles to established approaches. The goal of this work is to improve the speed, efficiency, and scalability of electric field simulations by leveraging GPU parallel processing capabilities. They methodically build and refine the simulation algorithm, utilizing techniques such as parallel algorithm design, GPU architecture optimization, and efficient memory management. Through rigorous performance studies, they demonstrate significant increases in computational efficiency relative to CPU-based techniques, with an average speed up of 15x. Furthermore, the scalability of the GPU-accelerated method is evaluated, demonstrating near-linear scalability up to 8 GPUs. Validation against experimental observations and analytical models indicates that the simulation findings are accurate and robust. This study helps the progress of electric field simulation tools for GIS circuit breakers by providing insights into electric field behaviour and aiding design optimization and performance evaluation in high voltage power systems.
Gait-Based Human Activity Recognition Using Efficient Sensor Fusion and Deep Learning Approach
Authors: Aniket Bandyopadhyay  
Published: May 2024

Human activity recognition is an important area of computer vision research. Its applications include surveillance systems, patient monitoring systems, and a variety of systems that involve interactions between persons and electronic devices such as human-computer interfaces. Most of these applications require an automated recognition of high-level activities, composed of multiple simple (or atomic) actions of persons. A novel feature selection approach is then proposed in order to select a subset of discriminant features, construct an online activity recognizer with better generalization ability, and reduce the smartphone power consumption. Experimental results on a publicly available data set show that the fusion of both accelerometer and gyroscope data contributes to obtain better recognition performance than that of using single source data, and that the proposed feature selector outperforms three other comparative approaches in terms of four performance measures. Such activity profiling systems are dependent on classification algorithms which can effectively interpret body-worn sensor data and identify different activities. the key research challenges that human activity recognition shares with general pattern recognition and identify those challenges that are specific to human activity recognition. The aim of paper is to explore real life applications like contactless employee recognition system using gait analysis which uses sensor data as base to identify employees based on their gait movement. This requires understanding the dimensions of sensor data and its application exploring other potential real-life applications and optimizing the methodology are also one of the core objectives.
Study and Analysis of RBFN based MPPT controller for wind energy integrated with Traction Power Supply System
Authors: Mebratu Delelegn  
Published: May 2024

The need of energy for railway is rising due to the increased speed at which trains must operate to maintain safety and dependability. This situation implies more electricity consumption and more challenges to railway operation stability. Therefore, this research suggests configuring wind energy integration with the current railway traction substations built on the current traction substation. The suggested setup consists of a converter that converts DC to DC with RBFN-based MPPT regulator wind energy source linked to a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), a rectifier, and a conventional traction system. The proposed system is modelled and analyzed by utilizing a radial basis function network (RBFN) in this study. Three traction substations: Aysha, Adegla and Dewanle:-are the subject of the case study, which integrates wind energy with the railway electric power system working at 25 kV AC. For the Aysha wind farm, a MATLAB/Simulink simulation is run in order to confirm the suggested technology. The setup with or without MPPT was used in order to evaluate the results. The proposed system produces an average output of 260.3kW without MPPT and 289.3kW with MPPT controller at wind speed of 20m/sec. The simulation findings suggest that the RBFN-based control method performs better under diverse wind conditions and is more suited for wind energy integration with traction system.

ARBITRATION UNDER THE AFRICA CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AGREEMENT: STRENGTHENING TRADE DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN AFRICA
Authors: Madaki Agbo Johnson 
Published: May 2024

The Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) represents a groundbreaking effort to promote regional economic integration and trade facilitation within the African continent. The agreement was adopted by African Union member States in March 2018, and after the ratification process was completed by the required number of countries, it entered into force on May 30, 2019. With the operationalization of the AfCFTA, disputes among member States and other parties are inevitable. To ensure effective resolution of these disputes, the AfCFTA – Dispute Settlement Mechanism Protocol offers three broad dispute resolution options. This article explores the arbitration provisions under the AfCFTA, evaluates their potential strengths, challenges, and offers recommendations for strengthening the arbitration framework within the trade agreement. Capacity-building initiatives will empower stakeholders to engage effectively in arbitration proceedings, while promoting diversity and inclusivity in arbitrator appointments will instill confidence in the fairness of the process. Increased transparency and public awareness will foster trust and wider utilization of arbitration, while collaboration with established arbitration institutions will enrich the AfCFTA dispute resolution practices.

Authors: Al-Shaibani Abulfadhel Jaber Neamah , Ghareeb Mowafaq Mohammed 
Published: May 2024

Background: The treatment of schizophrenia typically involves the use of olanzapine (OLZ), a typical antipsychotic drug that has poor oral bioavailability due to its low solubility and first-pass effect. Objective: To prepare and optimize OLZ as nanoparticles for transdermal delivery to avoid problems with oral administration. Methods: The nanoprecipitation technique was applied for the preparation of eight OLZ nanoparticles by using different polymers with various ratios. Nanoparticles were evaluated using different methods, including particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), entrapment efficiency (EE%), zeta potential and an in vitro release study. The morphology was evaluated by a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and an atomic force microscope (AFM). We also perform differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results: Characterization studies of OLZ nanoparticles showed that OLZ-6 was the best formula with a particle size of 115.76 nm, a PDI of 0.24, a high EE% of 78.4%, and a high zeta potential of -19.01 mV. The in vitro release of OLZ was higher than that of other formulations. FESEM reveals the spherical shape of the nanoparticles, and AFM screening confirms that the OLZ-6 size is comparable to what the Zeta sizer finds. The DSC results confirm the purity of OLZ and the compatibility between the drug and polymer. Conclusions: OLZ-6, as a transdermal delivery system, is a promising formula to overcome the problems associated with oral drug administration and could enhance its bioavailability.

Published: May 2024

Introduction:
The Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) classification for knee osteoarthritis estimates disease severity. Its utility in predicting patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after primary total knee arthroplasty (pTKA) has been suggested. We hypothesized that patients who had higher preoperative KL grades would demonstrate greater improvements in PROs after pTKA.

Methods:
This was a retrospective review of patients who underwent pTKA between 2016 and 2021. Two observers graded preoperative radiographs (KL1/2, KL3, and KL4). Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) for activities of daily living (KOOS-ADL) and pain (KOOS-Pain) were collected at preoperative and 12-month postoperative visits. Changes in KOOS-ADL (ΔADL) and changes in KOOS-Pain (ΔPain) scores were compared from the preoperative to 12-month postoperative mark across different groups, with the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for both ΔADL (MCID-ADL) and ΔPain (MCID-Pain) also being calculated. A P-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
A total of 1651 patients were included in the study. The KL3 and KL4 groups exhibited significantly higher ΔADL scores and ΔPain scores compared with the KL1/2 group (P < 0.01). Patients who had KL3 and KL4 were 1.42 (P = 0.03) and 1.88 (P < 0.01) times, respectively, more likely to achieve MCID-ADL compared with those who had KL1/2. Furthermore, patients who had a KL4 were 1.92 times (P < 0.01) more likely to reach MCID-Pain compared with those who had KL1/2.

Conclusions:
This study determined that patients who had higher preoperative KL grades experienced markedly greater improvements in KOOS-ADL and KOOS-Pain scores than those who had lower KL grades. These findings offer surgeons an objective tool when counseling patients on expected outcomes after pTKA.
POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS PARA A JUVENTUDE NO BRASIL – UM BALANÇO A PARTIR DA IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DO ESTATUTO DA JUVENTUDE (2013-2023)
Authors: Gonçalves Rosangela Teixeira , Fava Ana Claudia Polato e 
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo desenvolver uma análise das políticas públicas para a juventude no Brasil, tendo como marco temporal o Estatuto da Juventude que passou a dispor sobre os direitos para a população entre 15 e 29 anos. Para isso, revisitamos a origem do conceito de juventude e desenvolvemos uma análise do cenário contemporâneo no que diz respeito aos indicadores em relação ao mercado de trabalho, escolarização e violência a partir dos dados do último Censo – 2022, realizado pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE para a população jovem. E, com o intuito de discutir as políticas públicas de juventude nos últimos dez anos, realizamos a análise dos três últimos Planos Plurianuais - PPAs desenvolvidos pelos últimos governos federais. Nas considerações finais, o presente artigo aponta que no Brasil as políticas públicas de juventude são recentes, tendo início no final dos anos 1990, consolidando-se no ano de 2013 com a promulgação do Estatuto da Juventude. No entanto, mesmo diante da normativa, os governos sucessores acabaram por instituir um desmonte nas políticas e garantias já efetivadas anteriormente, sendo possível vislumbrar com a posse de indicativos de uma retomada da juventude como sujeito de direitos.

Authors: Myšková Aneta , Sýkora David , Kuneš Jaroslav , Maletínská Lenka 
Published: May 2024

Peptide therapeutics are becoming increasingly important in the quest for effective compounds to treat various difficult-to-cure diseases. As potential therapeutics, peptides have many favorable chemical and pharmacological properties, ranging from their great diversity to their high affinity to various types of natural receptors. However, despite these and other advantages, they also have their pitfalls, such as a very limited stability in the organism. They have a short half-life and tend to be excreted from the body very quickly. In order to achieve a better pharmacological effect, it is desirable to find new means of modifying peptides to enable them to be used as effective drugs. There are many ways of altering the peptide structure. In this review, we summarize the approaches currently used to modify the peptide constitution with a focus on lipidization. Simultaneously this review summarizes all lipidized peptide-based therapeutics that are currently on the market.

Published: May 2024

Chemistry education at the secondary school level, with limited science education including chemistry, is only a marginally discussed topic. In our study, we provide information on how chemistry can be taught in secondary vocational schools to further strengthen and extend students' science literacy while being well-received by students. We have tested our method in one of Prague's M‑type vocational schools. This sub-study yielded interesting results that lead us to systematize our approach and develop suitable learning support for students and a methodology for teachers. We also present a sample of a sub-section of the learning support in the text.

Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
Rectus abdominis separation (DRA) affects pelvic stability and body image. No studies have explored the effects of manual massage on early postpartum DRA and postpartum depression.
AIM
To analyze the curative effect of massage on early postpartum DRA and its impact on postpartum depression and thus its ability promote the overall psychosomatic rehabilitation of postpartum women.
METHODS
Data were retrospectively collected on 70 primiparous women with postpartum DRA who underwent rehabilitation at the Postpartum Rehabilitation Center of Huzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital from October 2022 to September 2023. The patients were divided into the Group S (35 cases, biomimetic electrical stimulation treatment) and Group L (35 cases, biomimetic electrical stimulation combined with manual massage treatment). Baseline data, the edinburgh postpartum depression scale (EPDS) score, and the visual analog scale (VAS) scores for rectus abdominis distance, waist circumference, and lower back pain before and after treatment were compared.
RESULTS
No significant differences were found in the baseline data, rectus abdominis distance, waist circumference, and VAS and EPDS scores between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, the distance between rectus abdominis and waist circumference in Group L were significantly smaller than those in Group S (P < 0.05). Furthermore, lower back pain (VAS score) and the EPDS score in Group L were significantly lower than those in Group S (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Manual massage can significantly reduce early postpartum DRA, waist circumference, and back pain and improve the patient’s mental state and postpartum depression.

Masking the Inner-Killjoy: A Critical Feminist Perspective on Police Research
Drawing on her ethnographic doctoral research, the author reflects on the challenges of employing a feminist methodology when observing the police. The article will discuss the fraught process of gaining trust and sustaining fragile access by betraying the self. The feminist killjoy (Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life; Ahmed, The Feminist Killjoy Handbook) is used as a lens to examine the author’s response to the political and ethical dilemmas that she encountered during fieldwork. This will lead to considering whether a “critical empathy” framework is a valuable approach to conducting police research from a feminist perspective. This discussion will offer new tools for dealing with the emotional complexities of ethnographic research. It will make a strong case for the possibilities and importance of conducting feminist research about the police.

Authors: Pereira Larissa Eulália , Santos Thayana Karla Guerra Lira dos 
Published: May 2024

Conhecer a anatomia interna dos canais radiculares e suas variações revela extrema importância para o desenvolvimento e sucesso do tratamento endodôntico. Uma variante anatômica encontrada principalmente em segundos molares inferiores é o canal "C-shaped”, assim denominado pela morfologia exibida em corte transversal na forma externa da sua raiz e/ou na arquitetura interna dos condutos. O presente estudo objetiva realizar uma revisão integrativa dos trabalhos publicados acerca das variações anatômicas em molares inferiores, particularmente, a presença de canais C-Shaped. Os levantamentos bibliográficos foram realizados nas bases de dados SCIELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), PUBMED (US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health), BIREME e GOOGLE ACADÊMICO. O canal do tipo C-shaped ocorre predominantemente em molares inferiores, e tem maior prevalência na população chinesa e no sexo feminino. Podem ser encontradas limitações ou interferências durante o diagnóstico pelo método radiográfico convencional, sendo o mais indicado a tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico. Existe a necessidade de novas pesquisas dentro do universo de canais em forma de C-shaped, com a finalidade de obter-se mais evidências científicas.
A descriptive analysis of research productivity in the Journal of Music Therapy as measured by authorship and affiliations: 2000-2015
Authors: Silverman Michael J. , Reimnitz Lacey , Uban Jake 
Published: May 2024

To date, the authors are not aware of any researcher who has studied research productivity solely specific to the Journal of Music Therapy. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine research productivity within the Journal of Music Therapy by descriptively analysing the first authors and their respective institutional affiliations of refereed articles within the journal from 2000-2015. We hand-searched all refereed articles in the Journal of Music Therapy from 2000-2015 and created a database of first authors and their affiliations. From 2000-2015, 181 different first authors published articles in the Journal of Music Therapy. The most frequently publishing author had 15 articles (Silverman), while five authors published six articles (Cevasco, Gregory, Lim, VanWeeldon, and Walworth), and four authors published four articles (Gooding, Hilliard, Register, and Waldon). From 2000-2015, authors from 91 different universities or colleges and 26 non-university institutions published articles in the Journal of Music Therapy. Authors affiliated with Florida State University (42 articles), the University of Kansas (24 articles), and the University of Minnesota (13 articles) published the most articles. The long lists of contributing first authors and their respective affiliations highlight the selectivity and diversity of the Journal of Music Therapy. However, there are other ways – including citations and journal impact factors – to measure research eminence and the authors caution against generalisations. Suggestions for future research, limitations and implications are provided.
