Learning Logic Specifications for Policy Guidance in POMDPs: an Inductive Logic Programming Approach
Authors: Meli Daniele , Castellini Alberto , Farinelli Alessandro 
Published: March 2024

Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) are a powerful framework for planning under uncertainty. They allow to model state uncertainty as a belief probability distribution. Approximate solvers based on Monte Carlo sampling show great success to relax the computational demand and perform online planning. However, scaling to complex realistic domains with many actions and long planning horizons is still a major challenge, and a key point to achieve good performance is guiding the action-selection process with domain-dependent policy heuristics which are tailored for the specific application domain. We propose to learn high-quality heuristics from POMDP traces of executions generated by any solver. We convert the belief-action pairs to a logical semantics, and exploit data- and time-efficient Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) to generate interpretable belief-based policy specifications, which are then used as online heuristics. We evaluate thoroughly our methodology on two notoriously challenging POMDP problems, involving large action spaces and long planning horizons, namely, rocksample and pocman. Considering different state-of-the-art online POMDP solvers, including POMCP, DESPOT and AdaOPS, we show that learned heuristics expressed in Answer Set Programming (ASP) yield performance superior to neural networks and similar to optimal handcrafted task-specific heuristics within lower computational time. Moreover, they well generalize to more challenging scenarios not experienced in the training phase (e.g., increasing rocks and grid size in rocksample, incrementing the size of the map and the aggressivity of ghosts in pocman).

Introduction
Phenylbutyrate (PBA) showed positive effect on the muscle cell model of Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) by improving lysosomal activity, ameliorating consequences of impaired autophagy, and decreasing vacuolization. This provides rationale to study this medication in patients with IBM.
Objectives
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of phenylbutyrate in IBM, and monitor for any early signal of effectiveness.
Methods
Open-label study of 10 subjects with IBM who received treatment with PBA for 3 months after a 3-month run-in period. The PBA dose was 3 gm twice daily. The primary outcome measure was adverse event reporting. Secondary outcome measures included manual muscle testing, timed up and go test, IBM functional rating scale, and grip strength, along with exploratory biomarkers evaluating the mitochondrial function, stress response, degenerative process, and apoptosis.
Results
Ten subjects completed the study. PBA was well tolerated with no serious adverse events related to it. The most common adverse events were gastrointestinal related and did not require stopping treatment. One of the biomarkers (MitoTracker) showed a statistically significant drop over the treatment period of the study (p-value of 0.02 for the mean change). There were no statistically significant changes in other secondary outcome measures, but the study was limited by a small sample size and short treatment period.
Conclusions
Phenylbutyrate was safe and well tolerated in patients with IBM in this pilot study. The change in the MitoTracker suggests target engagement, but a Phase II study is needed to confirm and study the efficacy of PBA in IBM
Формы международного сотрудничества Евразийского экономического союза: международно-правовой аспект
Authors: Androsova Arina 
Published: March 2024

Процесс формирования интеграции на территории Евразии длится уже более 30 лет. Новой точкой отсчета стало создание в 2014 году Евразийского экономического союза (далее — ЕАЭС, Союз). Помимо классических целей молодого интеграционного объединения, стратегическим направлением его деятельности стало формирование разветвленной сети международных контактов во всех уголках мира. Современная конъюнктура международных отношений, став двигателем прогресса многих процессов, происходящих в мире, только усилила становление ЕАЭС в качестве новой опоры евразийского региона. Однако «правовые формы», с помощью которых ЕАЭС осуществляет международное сотрудничество, не нашли своего отражения ни в праве Союза, ни в научной литературе. Причем в нормативных документах не отражена ни категория «формы», ни перечень таких форм. Целью настоящего исследования является установление форм, с помощью которых ЕАЭС осуществляет международную деятельность, их анализ, а также разработка предложений по их совершенствованию. В рамках статьи автор выводит три основные формы, образующие каркас международного сотрудничества Объединения: международные договоры, статус наблюдателя, меморандумы (не являющиеся международными договорами). Детальным образом изучается каждая из названных форм с выявлением специфики, преимуществ и недостатков. Работа основывается на анализе правовой базы Союза, и вместе с тем сделана попытка принять во внимание экономические и политические факторы, позиции государств-членов. В исследовании используется компаративистский метод — сравнение с опытом других международных организаций и государств, использующих схожие правовые механизмы. По итогам работы автор приводит резюме всех трех форм взаимодействия и предлагает установить обновленную форму ведения международной деятельности с применением уже имеющихся в Договоре о ЕАЭС положений. Формула указанного механизма включает в себя следующие элементы. Во-первых, формирование при помощи ресурсов Консультативного комитета по международной деятельности предложений о потенциальных партнерах с прогнозом экономических и политических эффектов сотрудничества. Во-вторых, применение одной из форм — меморандума о сотрудничестве, но с поэтапным углублением в конкретную сферу экономики. Реформированный механизм должен привести к достижению центральной цели Организации — развитию экономик государств-членов посредством выведения инвесторов и предпринимателей на новые рынки сбыта.

Published: March 2024

For over a century, a transformer act as a crucial part of the high voltage system. This also acts as an energy alteration device that is used to step-up and step-down voltage for power distribution from power generation to the consumers. Maintaining a transformer is important since a single mistake can lead to a vast amount of problems in a high voltage system in terms of cost. Thus, nowadays, many researchers study the important parts of a transformer, making it to function more effective. One of the studies involves improving treatment in the insulation medium of transformers to improve its function and performance. Here, the focus of this experiment was to study the effect of proper treatment on mineral oil in terms of electrical properties as an insulator in the transformer. The drying process was the main concern in this experiment. Parameters such as AC breakdown voltage, Tan Delta value, Raman measurement, resistivity, and relative permittivity were particularly measured. Origin software was used to analyze the data obtained from the experiment. The results expected from the experiment is that the proper preparation plays the role in tuning the AC breakdown voltage.

A significant difference test is used to evaluate certain treatments on the sample in two different observation periods. One of the commonly used software is SPSS which is used to analyze data which helps researchers in calculating data so that it can be completed quickly. However, there are still many students and researchers who are not experts in calculating data using SPSS software, especially significant difference tests. This article aims to provide a step-by-step guide in calculating data using SPSS for statistical requirements and significant difference tests. To understand the calculations well using SPSS, we demonstrate the requirements tests (i.e., normality and homogeneity tests), parametric significant difference tests (i.e., One Sample t-test, Paired sample t-test, and Independent Sample t-test), and non-parametric (i.e., Wilcoxon test and Mann-Whitney test). We also added and demonstrated the steps for calculating data in the field of education with the variables analyzed being differences in student learning outcomes. We used the data when delivering the steam engine concept to students, showing how statistical calculation can understand students' comprehension. Bibliometric analysis regarding statistics was also added. This paper can be used as a guide in carrying out statistical tests using SPSS software.

As new methods of focal treatment become more and more popular in the treatment of prostate cancer, cases of ineffective treatment are gradually revealed, which require correction in the volume of surgical or other method of treatment.The article describes experience of radical treatment of prostate cancer in case of local recurrence of the disease after ultrasound ablation of the prostate.A 58-year-old man who 1 year ago had undergone high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) hemiablation of the left prostatic lobe using Focal One robotic platrform due to prostate adenocarcinoma was examined 1 year after the operation. Total prostate-specific antigen blood level was 5.45 ng/mL. The patient underwent a control transrectal biopsy of the prostate from 12 cores, which revealed recurrence of the disease in the contralateral (previously untreated) prostate lobe. The patient underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Operative time was 80 minutes. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the 7th day with no postoperative complications. The urethral catheter was removed on the 6th day after control CT cystography. Erectile function and urine retention were preserved. Total prostate-specific antigen level after 6 months of follow-up did not exceed 0.02 ng/mL.Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is an effective and safe method of treatment in patients with recurrent prostatic adenocarcinoma after HIFU if performed by a surgeon with sufficient experience in robot-assisted surgery.
Testing the P/S Amplitude Seismic Source Discriminant at Local Distances Using Seismic Events Within and Surrounding the Kloof Gold Mine, South Africa, and the Kiruna Iron Ore Mine, Northern Sweden

ABSTRACT
We investigate the utility of the P/S amplitude discriminant for small seismic events recorded at local distances on surface seismic networks using (1) mining-related events from within the Kloof gold mine in South Africa; and (2) mining-related events and earthquakes within and adjacent to the Kiruna iron ore mine in northern Sweden. For the Kloof mine, seventy-five source mechanisms characterized by moment tensor solutions obtained using high-frequency in-mine seismic data are used to evaluate three mine-related source types, isotropic (crush), compensated linear vector dipole (crush-slip), and double-couple (DC; pure slip). For the Kiruna mine region, 270 events are used to evaluate earthquake sources, chemical explosions, and mine-related seismic events (primarily isotropic). For the Kloof mine events, we find that average P/S amplitude ratios measured in the 2–6 Hz frequency band discriminate between isotropic and DC events, and if only pure-slip events with a DC component of &gt;60% are considered, the effective frequency band can be extended from 2 to 8 Hz. For the Kiruna region events, P/S amplitude ratios effectively discriminate earthquakes from chemical explosions in the 4–6 Hz and 10–28 Hz frequency bands. Our findings further show that average P/S amplitude ratios for mine-related events and earthquakes separate at frequencies of 10 Hz and higher. A comparison of amplitude ratios for crush and pure-slip events located within a depth range of 1 km in the Kloof mine, and a comparison of amplitude ratios of shallow (&lt;10 km depth) and deep-focus (&gt;20 km depth) earthquakes in the Kiruna region, indicate that the P/S amplitude discriminant is not influenced significantly by source depth. These findings thus suggest that the P/S amplitude discriminant, originally developed for larger events recorded at regional and teleseismic distances, can be extended to smaller events recorded at local distances.
The Importance of 25 Hydroxyvitamin D Level Monitoring in Children Diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Authors: YILDIRIM Ülkü Miray , ERGÜVEN Müferet 
Published: March 2024

Objective: In patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), bone metabolism may be negatively affected due to both the activity of the disease and the medications used. Our study aimed to investigate the necessity of evaluating 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) Vit D), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and possible related factors in the follow-up of patients diagnosed with JIA.
Method: The records of 68 patients with JIA were retrospectively evaluated. Disease subtypes, medications used, and whether they were in remission or active disease were reviewed.
Results: 25 OH Vit D levels were low in 14.7% of patients with JIA compared to the control group. 66.6% of the patients with systemic arthritis had high ALP levels. 25 OH Vit D level was low in 16.6% of steroid users, and Vitamin D level was low in 55.5% of the patients in the active disease group. It was determined that patients in the active disease group had the highest ALP and lowest vitamin D levels compared to patients in remission with and without medication.
Conclusion: Bone metabolism in patients with JIA is negatively affected. Since vitamin D plays a crucial role in bone metabolism, it was emphasized that vitamin D levels should be evaluated especially during active disease and supplements should be provided for patients with low vitamin D levels.
A Systemic Functional Analysis of Wole Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman

Published: March 2024

This paper is about the systemic functional analysis of Wole Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman, on the basis of the postulate that African classical literary works connote some significant functions. The methodology used in this analysis is the mixed method approach, which is a combination of both quantitative and qualitative linguistic data. Two extracts are therefore selected from the play on a qualitative basis, taking into account the relevance of the exchange in terms of information and the characters involved in the exchange. These are split into numbered and analyzable units referred to as clauses in which the various mood components are meticulously and quantitatively identified. The results reveal that the extracts are essentially concerned with propositions, that is, the exchange of information about the rite. Some services are realized through proposals. Modal variables are profusely used in the extracts under consideration, highlighting interlocutors’ various attitudes and judgments regarding the traditional ritual of the king’s horseman death. The analysis of the exchange has uncovered the pecking order defined by the colonial administrators whose behaviors are profoundly marked by prejudices regarding the rite. Thus, Soyinka’s play functions as a tool for information and education about the African worldview.
Sexe et Bien-Etre Subjectif chez des Diabetiques du Centre Anti Diabetique d’Abidjan (Cote d’Ivoire)

Published: March 2024

La présente étude a pour objectif d’étudier l’impact du sexe sur le bien-être subjectif chez des diabétiques. L’étude a été réalisée auprès de 170 diabétiques de type 2 suivi au centre anti diabétique d’Abidjan (CADA). L’âge des participants est compris entre 37 et 73 ans. L’étude est composée de 85 hommes et 85 femmes. Pour réaliser l’étude, la démarche méthodologique se fonde sur la recherche documentaire, l’observation directe et l’enquête de terrain au moyen de questionnaires. Deux questionnaires ont été utilisés pour réaliser l’étude, l’échelle de mesure « Positive and Negative Affect Scale » et l’échelle de satisfaction de vie pour mesurer le bien-être subjectif (Caci et Bayle, 2007 ; Diener et al, 1985). Ces deux outils représentent respectivement les volets affectif et cognitif du bien-être subjectif. Les résultats de l’étude montrent que le sexe influence le volet affectif du bien-être subjectif, mais n’a pas d’impact sur le volet cognitif du bien-être subjectif. En effet, les hommes et les femmes n’ont pas les mêmes évaluations du bien-être subjectif. Ces résultats trouvent leur explication dans la théorie de l’évaluation cognitive de Lazarus (1991). Cette étude permettrait d’avoir des interventions mixtes du médecin et du psychologue dans la prise en charge du diabétique en vue de favoriser son bien-être subjectif.

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of gender on the subjective well-being of diabetics. The study involved 170 type 2 diabetics followed at the Abidjan diabetes centre (CADA). The ages of the participants ranged from 37 to 73. The study included 85 men and 85 women. The study methodology was based on documentary research, direct observation and a field survey using questionnaires. Two questionnaires were used to conduct the study: the Positive and Negative Affect Scale and the Life Satisfaction Scale to measure subjective well-being (Caci and Bayle, 2007; Diener et al, 1985). These two tools represent the affective and cognitive aspects of subjective well-being respectively. The results of the study show that gender influences the affective component of subjective well-being, but has no impact on the cognitive component of subjective well-being. In fact, men and women do not have the same assessments of subjective well-being. These results can be explained by Lazarus' (1991) theory of cognitive evaluation. This study would make it possible to have mixed interventions by the doctor and the psychologist in the care of diabetics with a view to promoting their subject well-being.
