Działania i główne instrumenty wpływu rosyjskiego w Estonii po 2022 roku
Authors: Sierzputowska Kamila 
Published: March 2024

Pomimo zaangażowania w wojnę z Ukrainą od 2015 roku Rosja konsekwentnie prowadzi działania w ramach prowadzonej polityki zagranicznej i bezpieczeństwa, nie rezygnując z zamiaru ustanawiania i pogłębiania swoich wpływów na obszarze postradzieckim. Bogate instrumentarium, wykorzystywane w ramach kremlowskiej aktywności obejmuje jawne i tajne, militarne i pozawojskowe narzędzia presji, tak w Estonii, jak i pozostałych krajach regionu (Litwa, Łotwa). Zamiarem autorki jest zdefiniowanie głównych sposobów rosyjskiego oddziaływania, z uwzględnieniem tych obszarów funkcjonowania, jak również procesów politycznych, które zasadniczo wpłynęły na możliwości i kierunki rozwoju państwa estońskiego. W artykule wskazane zostały główne instrumenty wpływu, w ramach których dokonano szczegółowej analizy oraz oceny skuteczności wielopłaszczyznowego i dynamicznego procesu tworzenia i umacniania pozycji Rosji jako mocarstwa, wobec terytorium tzw. „bliskiej zagranicy” na przykładzie Estonii.
Wolność wyrażania poglądów a wolność sumienia i religii. Kilka refleksji o problematyce obrazy uczuć religijnych w świetle wybranego orzecznictwa Trybunału Konstytucyjnego i ETPCz
Authors: Uliasz Joanna 
Published: March 2024

Zarówno w międzynarodowym jak i krajowym prawie dotyczącym statusu jednostki, każdy ma prawo do wolności wypowiedzi, a korzystanie z tego prawa pociąga za sobą szczególne obowiązki i odpowiedzialność, a zatem może podlegać pewnym ograniczeniom, ale tylko takim, jakie przewiduje ustawa i takim, jakie konieczne są w demokratycznym państwie. W demokratycznym państwie, które ma na celu dobro wspólne wszystkich obywateli, debata publiczna, w której każdemu gwarantuje się wolność wypowiedzi, także w sferze religijnej, powinna odbywać się w sposób cywilizowany i kulturalny, bez uszczerbku dla praw człowieka i obywatela i wolności. W niniejszym opracowaniu, bazując na orzeczeniach Trybunału konstytucyjnego oraz Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka postawione zostaje pytanie o granice pomiędzy wolnością wyrażania poglądów a wolnością religii i chronionymi uczuciami religijnymi.

Se le debe al argentino Domingo Faustino Sarmiento el haber formulado de manera definitiva las figuras literarias de civilizado y bárbaro. Ello lo logra una vez desterrado en Chile, con la escritura de una serie de artículos publicados en 1845 en el diario El Progreso con el título de: Civilización y Barbarie. Vida de Juan Facundo Quiroga y aspecto físico, costumbres y hábitos de la República Argentina. Fue un hombre de teoría y práctica y lo demostró cuando –como presidente de la República de Argentina– no abandonó su labor pedagógica para mostrar con su ejemplo la profunda confianza que se debe tener en el papel emancipador de la educación.

La vacuidad de la frase “Dios a ha muerto” en la determinación existencial humanista
Authors: Baltazar Valdez Francisco Valentín 
Published: March 2024

El objetivo este trabajo es Centrarme en el Nihilismo Aplicando una metodología tanto analítica como comparativa. Para representar la realidad Nietzsche alude por excelencia al arte, específicamente a la música y la poesía, pues cree que es la llave de acceso a la vinculación con lo real. El arte tiene más valor de la que tiene la verdad a causa de que la esencia complace a la voluntad de poder; tanto Nietzsche como Heidegger consideran en cuanto la interpretación que existen múltiples de ellas y cada una de ellas son verdaderas. Heidegger infiere que Nietzsche se encuentra en una época obscura en la historia que va recorriendo el pensamiento metafísico, época donde predomina la nulidad del sinsentido; el Nihilismo de Nietzsche no es otra cosa para Heidegger que la manifestación de lo que permanece oculto al Ente, la imposibilidad de develar al Ser tal cual; entonces, el Ser siempre permanece inmutable, no se muestra ante la comprobación bajo ninguna circunstancia, se camufla muy bien permaneciendo en el olvido, resguardando la verdad que se devela en la medida que una parte de ella se oculta en la aperturidad del Ente, imposibilitando así su comprensión pero si ayudando a su aproximación.

Background. Neoplasms of the chest in children remain an urgent problem, since they can have a long asymptomatic course, and large sizes risk posing a threat to life.Clinical case description. In the presented clinical case (0.4%) in a girl of 11 months against the background of acute respiratory failure, X-ray method revealed a total heterogeneous darkening of the left half of the chest. Spiral computed tomography (SCT) detailed the huge size and heterogeneous structure of the mass, dislocation of the mediastinum to the right, collapse of the left lung. Performed surgical treatment: open thoracotomy, adhesiolysis of adhesions, removal of education in the capsule. Thoracoscopic surgery had limitations due to the large size of the tumor. The histological picture, taking into account the immunophenotype, corresponded to a mature teratoma with low proliferative activity (5% Ki67) and belonged to the group of germ cell neoplasm’s.Conclusion. The presented clinical example demonstrates that the discovered rare primary mediastinal teratoma of gigantic size had a rapid growth, lack of clinical symptoms, and posed a threat to the life of an infant. SCT with contrast was the optimal method for visualizing a neoplasm in a child with respiratory failure. The gigantic size of the dermoid cyst, the adhesive process of its membranes, limits the possibilities of thoracoscopic treatment. Early diagnosis of chest formations requires high alertness of primary care pediatrician.

The first chapter of the novel 'To Patagonia'

Just past the Mexican Border two men burn their passports. Under false identities, they make their way south to create new lives. In a time where their only crime is love, running AWOL from pending Don’t Ask Don’t Tell dishonorable discharges, and motivated by the looming expiration of their new documents, they must find a place to settle down and become citizens of a new land, or lose citizenship entirely.
On the journey to Patagonia the two men face life-threatening obstacles and must make connections and friendships in the most unlikely of places. Peopled with a ship captain, a stray dog, mountain climbers, explorers, and gauchos, all with the common understanding of life as a refugee, To Patagonia is a tale of hope against hope, where the search for home is a universal journey that all people must walk.

The Simile Word (Kaaf Al-Tashbeeh) Between The Stability, Problem Of Definition, And Significance
Authors: Aldawsari Mesfer Mihmas 
Published: March 2024

The Arabic letter "Kaaf" has multiple meanings. It's also a noun. There are several types of "Kaaf" in Arabic, but the "Kaaf al-Tashbeeh" is the most controversial. Some claim it's a "noun," and others say it's a "particle," while others try to reconcile the two by saying it's a "noun" in some circumstances and a "particle" in others. Some linguists say it's exclusively used for "simile," while others say it has various connotations. The research methods employed in this study are the descriptive analytical approach, contemporary Arabic grammar texts, and linguistic sources. This study seeks to understand why the letter "kaaf" has different meanings. The first section addressed the perspective of grammarians that "Kaaf al-Tashbeeh" is a particle and their arguments. The second section explored grammarians' justifications for calling it a "noun" The final section presents the stance of grammarians and linguists who seek a middle ground. According to linguists and grammarians, the expected outcome of the research is that the letter "kaaf" is undoubtedly a noun. It makes no difference if the characteristics of "nouns" set by the grammarians don't apply to it because many "nouns" don't have those characteristics, but no one disputes their being "nouns."

Published: March 2024

This study aimed to investigate the venom sac extracts (VSE) of the European hornet (EH) Vespa crabro (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), focusing on the differences between stinging females, gynes (G) and workers (W), at the protein level. Using a quantitative “Sequential Window Acquisition of all Theoretical Fragment Ion Mass Spectra” (SWATH-MS) analysis, we identified and quantified a total of 240 proteins. Notably, within the group, 45.8 % (n = 110) showed significant differential expression between VSE-G and VSE-W. In this set, 57.3 % (n = 63) were upregulated and 42.7 % (n = 47) downregulated in the G. Additionally, the 200 quantified proteins from the class Insecta belong to 16 different species, six of them to the Hymenoptera/Apidae lineage, comprising seven proteins with known potential allergenicity. Thus, phospholipase A1 (Vesp v 1), phospholipase A1 verutoxin 2b (VT-2b), hyaluronidase A (Vesp v 2A), hyaluronidase B (Vesp v 2B), and venom allergen 5 (Vesp v 5) were significantly downregulated in the G, and vitellogenin (Vesp v 6) was upregulated. Overall, 46 % of the VSE proteins showed differential expression, with a majority being upregulated in G. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD047955. These findings shed light on the proteomic differences in VSE between EH castes, potentially contributing to our understanding of their behavior and offering insights for allergy research.
Female Rulers, Motherhood and Happiness: A Reconsideration of Averroes’ Comparison of Women to Plants
Authors: Melkebeek Tineke 
Published: March 2024

This article analyses Averroes/Ibn Rushd´s (d. 1198) views on motherhood in his commentary on Plato´s Republic. The starting point for this inquiry is Averroes´ comparison of the women in his society to plants. Averroes argues that performing the duties of motherhood, i.e. being children´s primary caregiver, does not constitute nor involve any form of human virtue. Averroes´ low esteem for activities of motherhood has hitherto been ignored. This paper argues that the comparison of women to plants does not hinge on societal criticism solely but on at least two additional factors: Aristotle on plants in De Anima and on this low appreciation for tasks of parenthood. Furthermore, this paper aims to show that the latter is incompatible with Aristotle´s views in his ethics and biology, which emphasize, respectively, the friendship that characterizes the parent-child relationship and the intelligence and virtue needed to raise the next generation.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the association between D-dimer concentrations and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and examine any effect modifiers in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.
Methods: A total of 627 participants with complete data were included in the final analysis.
Results: The median of D-dimer concentration was 142.0 ng/ml (interquartile range: 60.0-273.5). The mean (SD) of age, GCS levels and D-dimer concentrations after transformations (BOXCOX method) were 61.0 years (12.0), 13.6 (2.5), and 8.5 ng/ml (4.3), respectively. Compared with participants with severe GCS scores (<9), those with mild (≥13) (β= -1.37; 95%CI: -2.67, -0.08) and moderate GCS scores (9≤GCS <13) (β= -1.64; 95%CI: -3.11, -0.16) had significantly lower D-dimer levels. Consistently, significantly lower D-dimer levels were found in participants with mild or moderate GCS scores (GCS ≥9; β= -1.43; 95%CI: -2.71, -0.15) compared with those with severe GCS scores (GCS <9). In the stratified analysis, a stronger inverse association between GCS categories (≥9 vs. <9) and D-dimer concentrations was observed in participants with lower platelet count (<194 *10^9/L vs. ≥194 *10^9/L; P for interaction =0.017).
Conclusion: There was an inverse association between GCS and D-dimer concentrations among patients with hemorrhagic stroke, especially in participants with lower platelet counts.
Advanced DC-DC Converter Topologies to Boost the Voltage Gain for High Voltage Applications
Authors: Hassan Zahid , Khan M. A , Islam Md. Rabiul 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
High-gain dc-dc converter is used in renewable energy systems, electric vehicles,power supply applications, etc. Presently, various types of dc to dc converters are invented, which have several advantages and drawbacks. Two advanced topologies of high-voltage dc-dc converters are proposed in this paper. In both topologies,the high-voltage gain comes true by cascading voltage multiplier cells. Both proposed converters have only one switch and inductor, which reduces the design complexity and cost. Both converters have less voltage stress, which increases their efficiency. The first proposed converter has more voltage gain than the second converter, and the overall voltage gain of both converters is much higher than the conventional dc-dc step-up converters. By taking 10 voltage multiplier cells and a 0.5 duty ratio, the output voltage of first converter is 960v for 12V input voltage, and for 0.25 duty ratio and the same number of voltage multiplier cells, the second converter output voltage is 480V for the same input voltage. To confirmand validate of the proposed converters, Matlab simulation software is used. The operating principle and the design considerations under continuous conduction mode are described.
Hybrid Neural Network Wind Speed Prediction Based on Secondary Decomposition and Weighted Averaging
Authors: Bi Qi , Bai Yu-long , Hou Zai-hong , Wang Rui 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The randomicity and fluctuation of the wind speed will influence the precision of the forecast. To improve the precision of wind speed forecast, this paper presents a new method of combined wind speed forecast based on the second decomposition and weighted average. First, the ICEEMDAN decomposition method is used to get different sub-sequences, and then the fuzzy entropy is used to judge the degree of confusion of the sub-sequences. In this paper, the ARIMA model is used to predict the minimum fuzzy entropy. And the other subsequences are decomposed by BPNN, VMD and predicted by NAR and BP neural network with suitable weighting ratio for weighted average and PSO-LSTM neural network respectively, and ultimately all the predicted values are superimposed to get the final prediction. Experiments were conducted using three datasets and eight comparison models to verify the validity of this model. The prediction analysis was carried out using the actual measured data of a wind farm in Inner Mongolia, and the results indicated that (1) using fuzzy entropy can effectively improve the prediction precision; (2) the prediction accuracy of the combined prediction method of neural network based on secondary decomposition was greatly improved and the prediction results were more reliable; (3) Decompose one of the subsequences with VMD, predict it with NAR and BP neural network, and choose appropriate weight ratio for weighted average prediction will achieve better prediction results; (4) the root mean square error (RMSE) of the hybrid model on the three wind speed 1 datasets were 0.28777, 0.22786 and 0.17128, which are lower than the comparison values of other models. So, it is workable to use this hybrid model in wind speed prediction.

Abstract

Chromosome substitution lines (CSLs) are tentatively supreme resources to investigate non-allelic genetic interactions. However, the difficulty of generating such lines in most species largely yielded imperfect CSL panels, prohibiting a systematic dissection of epistasis. Here, we present the development and use of a unique and complete panel of CSLs in Arabidopsis thaliana, allowing the full factorial analysis of epistatic interactions. A first comparison of reciprocal single chromosome substitutions revealed a dependency of QTL detection on different genetic backgrounds. The subsequent analysis of the complete panel of CSLs enabled the mapping of the genetic interactors and identified multiple two- and three-way interactions for different traits. Some of the detected epistatic effects were as large as any observed main effect, illustrating the impact of epistasis on quantitative trait variation. We, therefore, have demonstrated the high power of detection and mapping of genome-wide epistasis, confirming the assumed supremacy of comprehensive CSL sets.
