Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Optimization and Risk Control of Trading Strategies
Authors: Bao Mengrui 
Published: April 2024

Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based optimization leverages advanced machine learning techniques to solve complex decision-making problems in various domains. Deep learning in trading involves the application of sophisticated neural network architectures to analyze financial data and make predictions in stock markets, forex, commodities, and other trading domains. Deep learning algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or recurrent neural networks (RNNs), traders can extract valuable insights from vast amounts of historical market data, including price movements, trading volumes, and market sentiment. These models can learn complex patterns and relationships within the data, enabling them to forecast future market trends, identify potential trading opportunities, and manage risks more effectively. Deep learning in trading has shown promise in improving decision-making processes, enhancing trading strategies, and achieving higher returns, although challenges such as data scarcity, model interpretability, and overfitting remain areas of ongoing research and development. In this paper evaluated the stock market to achieve the financial gain to achieve the significant improvement in prediction with the stock trading. The data related to the stock market are optimized with stock trend data of 7,000 stocks situated in the United States. The estimated stock trade data were computed and processed with the Multiagent Q-learning model for the data detection and classification. A deep Q-network is developed to adaptively pick distinct action subsets and train the market making agent based on the inventory states. The experimental findings demonstrate the effectiveness of our suggested methodology in feature learning and superiority in accuracy improvement when compared to deep learning-based modelling of frequency trading patterns and standard signal processing approaches for stock trend prediction.
“The coming darkness”: Romantic Tragedy, Shakespeare, and Nahua Myth in Cormac McCarthy’s The Passenger and Stella Maris
Authors: Hillier Russell M. 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
Cormac McCarthy has stated that tragedy is central to human experience and that “the core of literature is the idea of tragedy.” Furthermore, he maintains that the tragic genre probes how humans “deal with” the bad things that happen to them. McCarthy’s duology, The Passenger and Stella Maris, locates its main narrative concerning Alicia and Bobby Western’s taboo love within the framework of romantic tragedy. Incest has been a much-revisited topic within Western tragedy. Consider the dramas of Sophocles, Euripides, Seneca, John Webster, John Ford, Henrik Ibsen, and Eugene O’Neill. In McCarthy’s treatment, incest is an impediment to reciprocal love. This tragic fatedness crosses any expectations Alicia and Bobby court of mutual happiness and fulfillment. The duology explores the siblings’ ways of dealing with their tragic condition, the romantic Alicia’s all-or-nothing, self-destructive passion and the ascetic Bobby’s attitude of self-denial and endurance. Two tragic antecedents further inform McCarthy’s examination of forbidden love: William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (1597) and the Nahua myth of the warrior Popocatépetl and the princess Iztaccíhuatl. The article concludes by proposing that, despite the duology’s preoccupation with the tragic human condition, the narrative tentatively gestures to a state of being that might, perhaps, lie beyond tragedy.
Characteristics of Poststructuralism in Jesse Shera’s Social Epistemology
Authors: Matsuzaki Hiroko 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
Jesse Shera (1903–1982) was a twentieth-century American librarian and information scientist. This article discusses Shera’s social epistemology (SE) and its similarities with structuralism and poststructuralism. Previous research on Shera’s SE has clarified its position and influences. John Budd has pointed out that his SE was sociological rather than philosophical, resembling a sociology of knowledge, while Jonathan Furner adduced similarities between Shera’s SE and related areas, such as the sociology of science, and showed that Shera’s SE was influenced by Paul Otlet. Patrick Wilson frames his body of research as an extension of Shera’s SE. Accordingly, I show that Shera’s SE exhibits characteristics of structuralism and poststructuralism. Shera argued that the semantic relationship between two groups of written materials depends on the perceptions of the individuals (or groups) involved, rejecting traditional library classification methodology aimed at a universal classification of knowledge that was the contemporary mainstream. This article discusses the background of Shera’s poststructuralism.

Authors: Galvão Josefa de Abreu Aguiar , Barbosa Maria do Rosário da Silva Albuquerque , Sarinho Júnior José Maria de Aguiar , Araújo Alex Marcelo da Silva 
Published: April 2024

Este artigo promove uma reflexão a respeito do Letramento Multimodal Crítico que surge como uma abordagem inovadora no contexto do ensino de Ciências, buscando, não apenas, desenvolver habilidades de leitura e escrita, mas também possibilitar uma compreensão crítica do conhecimento científico. Nessa perspectiva, a integração de diferentes modalidades de linguagem, como texto escrito, imagens, vídeos e recursos digitais, assume um papel central na ampliação do letramento científico na escola; e a multimodalidade se configura como uma área de estudos linguísticos que busca explorar as formas de significação modernas, o que abrange todos os modos semióticos inerentes aos processos de representação e comunicação (Kress; van Leeuwen, 2001). O objetivo é analisar como se proporciona o letramento multimodal crítico por meio de atividades do livro didático de Ciências (PNLD, 2023) a estudantes do Ensino Fundamental que envolve textos imagéticos e verbo-imagéticos. Para tanto, o arcabouço teórico que sustenta a pesquisa é o letramento multimodal crítico (Kress; van Leeuwen, 2021; Callow, 2023) em consonância com o letramento cientifico (Sasseron; Carvalho, 2008; Mamede; Zimmermann, 2012). A abordagem metodológica é qualitativa de caráter interpretativista e o corpus é formado por atividades publicadas no livro didático de Ciências da Natureza (PNLD, 2023) para o 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental que contemplem textos verbo-imagéticos. Os resultados indicam atividades do livro didático projetadas de forma a estimular a curiosidade dos alunos, as quais podem promover a investigação científica e o letramento multimodal crítico, ao explorar diferentes tipos de gêneros de textos multimodais. Nesse caso, os alunos são desafiados a desenvolver habilidades de observação, interpretação e argumentação, fundamentais para o pensamento científico.

Authors: Pizzirani Silvia 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
During the Italian economic boom, women became consumers par excellence. However, the relationship between gender and consumption changed significantly during the 1970s: while in the sixties the consumer virtually coincided with the housewife, during the seventies, new dynamics took place. This article examines the different constructions of narratives surrounding women during that decade, and the relationship between women and the advertising world.

Published: April 2024

Introduction:
No specific study has investigated the characteristics and outcomes of anterior shoulder dislocations in morbidly obese individuals. The purpose of this study was to describe shoulder dislocations in patients with body mass index (BMI) greater than 40.

Methods:
A retrospective review was conducted to identify patients aged 18 years and older with a BMI ≥40 who presented with a shoulder dislocation in a single institution from 2000 to 2020. Dislocation patterns, associated injuries, treatment modalities, and associated complications were recorded.

Results:
A significant increase was noted in the number of patients with BMI greater than 40 presenting per year (r
2 = −0.831, P < 0.01) over the past 20 years. A significant increase was noted in the average BMI per year in this population (r
2 = 0.504, P = 0.028). Fifteen patients (19.5%) experienced at least one recurrent dislocation episode. Ten patients had a Bankart lesion that was associated with an elevated BMI (P = 0.04). Nine patients (11.7%) sustained an associated neurologic injury (no association with BMI).

Conclusions:
Over time, there has been an increase in shoulder dislocations in morbidly obese individuals in the United States, alongside an overall increase in the average BMI of patients who present with shoulder dislocations.

Published: April 2024

Background: Underweight children are those whose weight-for-age Z-score is less than minus two standard deviations (-2 SD) from the reference population median. Children who are malnourished during their first two years of life and gain weight quickly later in childhood and adolescence are at a significant risk of developing chronic disorders connected to nutrition. This study aimed to explore the factors associated with underweight among the children below 24 months.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 304 mothers with children below 24 months. Probability proportional to size (PPS) method was used to identify the sample size in each ward and simple random sampling with lottery method was used to select the children from each ward. Data was collected through face-to-face interview using a pre-tested structured questionnaire and anthropometric measurement. Data were processed using IBS SPSS v.16.0.
Results: The prevalence of underweight among children below 24 month was found to be 25% (76). In this study ethnicity of a children (p≤ 0.001), occupation of a mother (p=0.018), mother’s age at her first baby (p=0.014), and age of a children (p=010) and diarrhea in last 6 months (p=0.000) were found to be associated with underweight.
Conclusions: The study identified that ethnicity, age of mother at her first baby, occupation of mother, age of children and sign of diarrhea in children were associated with underweight. Different family and child health related programs should be done to provide education about the childhood illness and infestation, child feeding practices and healthy care of child in order to reduce the underweight.

Authors: Mahato Srijana , Sah Ramkrishna , Mahato Sandeep , Yadav Punita , Sah Shiwani , Pandey Smita 
Published: April 2024

Background: Maternal mortality is the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy. Maternal health is still a public health problem in developing countries like Nepal. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and causes of maternal mortality in Madhesh Province.
Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in the Hub hospitals of Madhesh Pradesh. Non- probability total enumeration sampling technique was adopted to select the sample. A structured record review guide from Maternal Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) form was used to collect information related to maternal mortality. Obtained data were analyzed using SPSS version 24 for windows to obtain the descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation.
Results: During three-year period (July 2020 to June 2023 AD) there were 53146 deliveries and 51820 live births and maternal death was 19 giving Maternal Mortality Ratio of 36.66 per 100000 live births. Majority of maternal death occurred among the age group of 20-34 years, who had caesarean delivery, during postpartum period and whose antennal care status was unknown. Post- partum hemorrhage (26.3%) and pregnancy induced hypertension (26.3%) are the major causes of maternal mortality among the women followed by antepartum hemorrhage and septic abortion.
Conclusions: Despite the country’s effort to reduce maternal mortality, the majority of the women are dying due to post-partum hemorrhage and pregnancy induced hypertension. All these deaths can be averted through the combined effort of Safe-motherhood strategies along with the upgrading prompt referral system, resources and appropriate skills to manage the complications during pregnancy, labor and puperium.
Oxidative Potential: A New Indicator of Aerosol Toxicity
Authors: Cigánková Hana , Mikuška Pavel 
Published: April 2024

Atmospheric aerosol particles are considered to be a significant health risk worldwide. Although the exact mechanisms of aerosol toxicity are still not fully understood, several studies report that the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the main mechanisms responsible for chronic and acute health problems. For this reason, oxidative potential (OP) which is defined as the ability of an aerosol to generate ROS, has been proposed as a relevant parameter for assessing aerosol toxicity. This article describes different acellular in vitro methods to determine OP and the influence of chemical composition and aerosol size on OP.
