Byzantine Painting through Contemporary Eyes: Hermeneutics of Spiritual Vision.
Authors: Todorović (Todorovich) Uroš (Ouresis ) T. 
Published: March 2024

This exceptional and quite brilliant study takes a large theme—the affinity that has been perceived between the aspirations of modernist art and the canons of the Orthodox icon, recovered contemporaneously a century ago—and explores it by tracing Byzantine fresco and icon painting from the eleventh century to El Greco (controversially perceived as belonging to that tradition), on the way drawing in the fourteenth-century hesychast understanding of the prayer of the heart—as well as bringing the presuppositions of Byzantine iconography to bear on understanding the modernism of Kandinsky, Malevich and Rothko. Original in his insights and methodology, Todorović displays an intellectual rigour, not blunted by the range of his imagination, while his imaginative flights are supported, rather than reined in, by the integrity of his intellect.

Optimization of Inventory and Capacity in Large-Scale Assembly Systems Using Extreme-Value Theory

Published: March 2024

High-tech systems are typically produced in two stages: (1) production of components using specialized equipment and staff and (2) system assembly/integration. Component production capacity is subject to fluctuations, causing a high risk of shortages of at least one component, which results in costly delays. Companies hedge this risk by strategic investments in excess production capacity and in buffer inventories of components. To optimize these, it is crucial to characterize the relation between component shortage risk and capacity and inventory investments. We suppose that component production capacity and produce demand are normally distributed over finite time intervals, and we accordingly model the production system as a symmetric fork-join queueing network with N statistically identical queues with a common arrival process and independent service processes. Assuming a symmetric cost structure, we subsequently apply extreme value theory to gain analytic insights into this optimization problem. We derive several new results for this queueing network, notably that the scaled maximum of N steady-state queue lengths converges in distribution to a Gaussian random variable. These results translate into asymptotically optimal methods to dimension the system. Tests on a range of problems reveal that these methods typically work well for systems of moderate size.

Stunting is a health problem caused by a chronic lack of intake of both macro and micronutrients, which results in irreversible growth and development in children. Child health efforts are carried out for fetuses, newborns, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, and teenagers. The existence of teenagers is one of the global policies focused on SDGs. However, anemia impact can give birth to babies whose development is not optimal. Peer involvement is needed in optimizing education on stunting and anemia prevention movements. GERCEPS is a youth posyandu innovation based on stunting reduction, as a pilot project in Sampang district, an acronym for Youth Movement to Prevent and Care for Stunting. This research aims to understand the government and village commitment to supporting GERCEPS action in Sampang. This research was a descriptive qualitative design using primary data sources through in-depth interviews and participant observation. The sampling technique was purposive sampling of 9 informants in 12 stunting locus villages in Sampang. Informants’ criteria for this research are residents in Sampang Regency who have work and positions in government and the village. The question instrument refers to Allen & Meyers's theory with modifications. Narrative analysis technique. The results showed that Sampang Regency had demonstrated commitment and support for the GERCEPS action effectively, sustainably, and normatively. The penta-helix approach strengthens the role of local government. However, the village character in GERCEPS action is not yet optimal because this activity is a new program and still requires adaptation and consistency. This research showed that the implications of good commitment can result in good actions at every level to reduce stunting. We hoped that the government would more optimally provide the best support to the village in implementing GERCEPS, especially ongoing training for village officials and youth cadres in implementing the GERCEPS action youth posyandu
Demonstration on the performance enhancement of the 1.645  µm coherent Doppler lidar for long-range wind measurements with modification of laser transmitter and optical antenna

Published: March 2024

We have developed and experimentally investigated a long-range 1.645 µm coherent Doppler wind lidar (CDWL) system. A compact 1.645 µm single-frequency Er:YAG laser is utilized as the laser transmitter. The impact of laser transmitter parameters on wind detection was assessed using the figure of merit (FOM) concept. To enhance the measurement efficiency, the influence of wave aberrations on the heterodyne efficiency was analyzed. A Galilean telescope with an optical aperture of 100 mm is designed as the optical antenna based on the analysis. The line of sight (LOS) detection range exceeds 30.42 km with a data rate of 1 Hz at an elevation angle of 3.5°. To evaluate the effectiveness of the CDWL, comparison experiments were conducted between the 1.645 µm CDWL and a calibrated 1.55 µm CDWL, revealing a correlation coefficient of 0.9816 for the whole detection path in the wind velocity measurement.
Steatotic liver disease and its newly proposed sub-classifications correlate with progression of the coronary artery calcium score
Authors: Kim Aryoung , Kang Danbee , Choi Sung Chul , Cho Juhee , Sinn Dong Hyun , Gwak Geum-Youn 
Published: March 2024

Background & aims
A new nomenclature, Steatotic Liver Disease (SLD), has been proposed by consensus with sub-classifications and requires evidence-based validation. We assessed whether the presence and severity of SLD, as well as its sub-classifications, are associated with the progression of coronary atherosclerosis.

Methods
This longitudinal cohort study included 13,811 adults who participated in repeated regular health screening examinations between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2021 that included assessments of their coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores. SLD was defined using abdominal ultrasonography and classified as metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), MASLD with increased alcohol intake (MetALD), and cryptogenic SLD. SLD severity was assessed using fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) scores. The progression of CAC scores was measured using multidetector CT scans.

Results
The average duration of follow-up was 5.8 years. During follow-up, the annual rate of CAC progression in participants with and without SLD was 18% (95% CI 17%–19%) and 14% (95% CI 13%–14%) (p < 0.01), respectively. The multivariable ratios of progression rates when we compared participants with cryptogenic SLD, MASLD, or MetALD with those without SLD were 0.98 (95% CI 0.95–1.01), 1.03 (95% CI 1.03–1.04), and 1.07 (95% CI 1.04–1.09), respectively. The multivariable ratios of progression rates when we compared participants with SLD with FIB-4 score <1.3 and SLD with FIB-4 score ≥1.3 with those without SLD were 1.03 (95% CI 1.02–1.04), and 1.05 (95% CI 1.04–1.06), respectively.

Conclusions
SLD was associated with a higher risk of coronary atherosclerosis, and the risk differed by sub-classifications and severity. These findings suggest that the newly proposed definition has clinical relevance in terms of stratifying cardiovascular disease risk.

Abstract
The dehydrogenase activity (DHA) in the rhizospheres of tomatoes grown in different soil types – Khor Abu-Habil (KA), Bara (B), and Greenhouse (Gr) – in North Kordofan, Sudan, was determined. In addition, the abundance of soil microbes in the tomato rhizospheres during the two growth stages, after 45 and 90 days (short and long term), was analyzed. The KA site (clay soil) showed the highest DHA (81.79 CFUs/g) followed by the B site (63.76 CFUs/g) (sandy loam) after 90 days of sowing, and the Gr site showed the lowest DHA (44.50 CFUs/g) (loamy sand soil) after 45 days. Moreover, the presence of high microbial activity (total density counts, total fungi, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, Streptomycetes sp., Azotobacter sp., Azospirillum sp., and Pseudomonas sp. density counts) after 90 days and minimum microbial abundance after 45 days were identified at all sites. The measured growth parameters of fresh and dry weight, in addition to the root-to-shoot ratio, increased significantly at the same KA site dominated by a higher microbial density after 90 days. During the long term, the growth stage was positively affected by the abundance of adapted microbials that improve and enhance plant growth.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Binary relations (BIRs) have many applications in computer science, graph theory, and rough set theory. This study discusses the combination of BIRs, fuzzy substructures of quantale, and rough fuzzy sets. Approximation of fuzzy subsets of quantale with the help of BIRs is introduced. In quantale, compatible and complete relations in terms of aftersets and foresets with the help of BIRs are defined. Furthermore, we use compatible and complete relations to approximate fuzzy substructures of quantale, and these approximations are interpreted by aftersets and foresets. This concept generalizes the concept of rough fuzzy quantale. Finally, using BIRs, quantale homomorphism is used to build a relationship between the approximations of fuzzy substructures of quantale and the approximations of their homomorphic images.

Abstract
This research focuses on female managers and aims to explore the factors influencing work–life balance among female managers in Chinese higher education institutions (HEIs), while also ranking the importance of these factors within HEIs. The research is divided into five main sections and employs a two-round Delphi research method, utilizing expert discussions and opinions to thoroughly analyze the work–life balance challenges faced by female managers. The findings of the research reveal six primary dimensions that influence the work–life balance of female managers in Chinese HEIs. These factors, ranked in order of importance, are as follows: (1) family factors, (2) work-related factors, (3) cultural and social norms, (4) health factors, (5) self-management and personal skills, and (6) support and satisfaction. In conclusion, this research offers valuable recommendations for understanding and improving the work–life balance of female managers in Chinese HEIs, providing essential guidance for both these institutions and female managers in achieving a balanced development in their professional and personal lives.
Hybrid RSA–AES-Based Software-Defined Network to Improve the Security of MANET
Authors: Walle Yelkal Mulualem 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Software-defined networking offers a flexible and programmatically efficient network design. Security in today’s ad hoc mobile wireless network is paramount and incredibly challenging. Software-defined network is used to automatically and dynamically manage and control large network devices, network services, traffic paths, network topology, and packet management (quality of service). Recently different attackers are attacking our data when forwarding from one device to another. Therefore, software-defined networking and a Hybrid Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman (RSA)–Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cryptography algorithm are needed to establish the concept of software-defined networking in mobile ad hoc networks to improve security and routing efficiency. The proposed Hybrid Cryptography Algorithm (HCA)-Based SDN mainly creates strong detection, prevention, and authentication mechanisms for MANET. The proposed secure data channel throughput increased by 0.4%, and the suggested system latency was 3.6% lower than the Normal MANET. It is already proved that the Hybrid cryptography algorithm also generates a key for security faster than RSA (Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman). The performance of the RSA–AES (hybrid) approach for encrypting and decrypting broad data significantly beats the RSA-Blowfish algorithm. In decrypting files, the hybrid approach (RSA–AES) outperforms the RSA-Blowfish method 11.2 times more efficiently when the file size is 32 kB; however, efficiency is increased by 77.1 times when the file size exceeds 4,096 kB. The experimental result shows that as the file size increases the hybrid RSA–AES solution outperforms RSA when the file is only 145 bytes; however, when the file is 6,460 bytes in size, the efficiency is multiplied by 61.3. As file size increases, RSA is less efficient than the hybrid encryption method. This is more preferred to be implemented for different parts of wireless networks like MANET.

Abstract

Objectives
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of applying anodal tDCS (2 mA for 20 min) over the scalp from T3 (anodal-tDCS) to Fp2 (cathodal-tDCS) on the perceptual, physiological and performance responses during maximal incremental and constant-load exercise (CLE) in trained cyclists.

Methods
Eleven male cyclists performed maximal incremental exercise (MIE) on a cycle ergometer under either tDCS or sham, with power output, heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (V̇O2), ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) assessed throughout, and blood samples collected before and after MIE. On two separate occasions, nine subjects performed CLE at 62 % of the peak power output followed by a 15 km time trial under either tDCS or sham (n=8 for the time trial).

Results
HR, V̇O2, RPE and blood samples were collected at regular intervals. There were no differences between tDCS and sham in any variable during the MIE. tDCS elicited a decreased HR (F
(4,8)=9.232; p=0.016; η

Conclusions
The application of tDCS over the temporal cortex in trained cyclists improved cycling performance during a self-paced time trial but did not enhance performance during maximal incremental exercise. These results are encouraging and merit further investigation of the ergogenic effects of tDCS in trained athletes.
Revisiting investment and its determinants through threshold analysis
Authors: Tsimis Achilles , Tsoulfidis Lefteris 
Published: March 2024

AbstractSince the time of classical economists, investment decisions hold centre stage in economic theory. In this article, we integrate classical economists' perspectives on the determinants of investment with the Keynesian theory of effective demand. For this purpose, we employ variables to capture the effects of profitability, the state of demand, and the financial and risk conditions using time series data from 17 major OECD economies spanning the 1960–2017 period. Two are the salient features of our article: The first is the use as profitability variables, the marginal efficiency of capital or the incremental rate of return, and the second is the use of regime changes and respective threshold values for these two key variables. The econometric results show that the profitability variables are decisive in shaping investment decisions and designating phase changes.
A contemporary social network analysis of sharing economy literature
Authors: Leković Miljan , Dimitrovski Darko , Stanišić Tanja 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe sharing economy concept has been firmly incorporated into various scientific fields and applied broadly in practice. This paper aims to gain a detailed insight into the contemporary intellectual structure of the sharing economy in the fields of economics, business and management. Using a two-stage approach: a critical literature review and social network analysis (SNA), the dominant research niches and under-investigated issues within sharing economy were identified, along with the most influential authors and papers. Author collaboration and citation connection of papers have also been examined. It was concluded that sharing economy knowledge is gradually approaching the stage of maturity bearing in mind the growing number of articles, the presence of emerging research niches, as well as scarcity of approaches directed to purely quantitative analysis. Additionally, it was discovered that despite the study focus on the predefined research field, sharing economy concept exhibit a remarkable level of postdisciplinarity.

Published: March 2024

De acuerdo con la OIT (2011), las Personas Trabajadoras del Hogar son una fuerza considerable de trabajo en el sector informal y se ubican entre los trabajadores más vulnerados. Lo anterior resulta relevante al considerar que el 93% de esta población son mujeres, y es uno de los contextos laborales con más desventajas (Lexartza et al., 2016; Velázquez et al., 2020). Objetivo: Describir las experiencias de sus condiciones laborales vinculadas con la salud desde la perspectiva de trabajadoras del hogar. Método: Diseño cualitativo, fenomenológico. Con muestra propositiva, se aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a seis trabajadoras del hogar utilizando la técnica de bola de nieve para la muestra, estableciendo el criterio de saturación de datos para determinar el tamaño muestral, el criterio de inclusión fue que estuvieran empleadas en el momento de la entrevista, mayores de 18 años y aceptaran participar voluntariamente. Se realizaron categorías de análisis por medio de la lectura vertical y horizontal, segmentando y reduciendo los datos. Las categorías se validaron por dos lectores expertos. Resultados: Ninguna participante cuentan con un contrato de trabajo, no tienen acceso a la seguridad social, la mitad de ellas ha tenido alguna vez aguinaldo y solo una lo ha tenido todos los años. Las participantes trabajadoras del hogar refieren que desconocen los derechos que la Ley Federal del Trabajo les otorga, suponen que las prestaciones de ley son consideraciones de los empleadores porque son buenos patrones. No refieren los riesgos físicos, químicos, ergonómicos, biológicos o psicosociales, aunque sí reconocen la sobrecarga de trabajo y algunas molestias músculo esqueléticas, fatiga y lesiones, derivadas de su trabajo. Conclusiones: Las empleadas del hogar refieren entre sus experiencias la ausencia de contratos en sus relaciones laborales, por lo que consideran que dichas relaciones son informales ya que en sus discursos se encuentran expresiones como a la señora que le ayudo y no en términos laborales.
Prestaciones de Ley como vacaciones y días de descanso, se conceden a las trabajadoras, en función de las necesidades del empleador sin previo aviso, es decir, si la persona empleadora tiene que salir por una emergencia o por vacaciones entonces decide que esos días son cuando descasará el personal de trabajo del hogar. Cuando el acceso a la seguridad social, horas extras o aguinaldo son otorgadas por la persona empleadora se considera como un acto de buena voluntad o un rasgo de benevolencia y no como una obligación patronal.

Como atividade que subsidia a prática pedagógica no contexto da disciplina Organização do Conhecimento e da Informação, no Programa de Pós-graduação Gestão e Organização do Conhecimento (PPGGOC), da Escola de Ciência da Informação da UFMG, foi proposto como trabalho final, a elaboração dos seguintes instrumentos de organização do conhecimento: Taxonomia, Sistema de Classificação, Tesauro e Ontologia, além de um Mapa conceitual e Glossário, todos apresentados nos apêndices de A a F. Estes instrumentos foram criados com base no texto base: “Web semântica: uma proposta de produção de sentidos para a recuperação de informações no ciberespaço” Fabíola Maria Pereira Bezerra e Virginia Bentes Pinto. O presente trabalho proporcionou a compreensão, por meio da prática, como são elaborados e desenvolvidos alguns tipos de sistemas de organização do conhecimento, como o glossário, os mapas conceituais, as taxonomias, os sistemas de classificação, os tesauros e as ontologias que apoiam a gestão da conhecimento em sistemas informacionais. É importante considerar, a importância dos sistemas: Thesa, Protege, Drawing que auxiliaram no suporte para criação de cada instrumentos. Sem esses recursos a atividade demandaria um tempo maior. Além disso, os encontros remotos, por meio do Google Meeting também tiveram sua relevância para o desenvolvimento da disciplina e das atividades. As dificuldades encontradas estão relacionadas ao manuseio das ferramentas apoio utilizadas nas construção dos sistemas de organização do conhecimento propostos. Ainda, dificultou o desenvolvimento deste trabalho falta de domínio autor do tema proposto: Web semântica.
