Protecting the weak signals in distributed acoustic sensing data processing using local orthogonalization: The FORGE data example
Authors: Oboué Yapo Abolé Serge Innocent , Chen Yunfeng , Fomel Sergey , Chen Yangkang 
Published: November 2023

The development of the distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technique enables us to record seismic data at a significantly improved spatial sampling rate at meter scales, which offers new opportunities for high-resolution subsurface imaging. However, DAS recordings are often characterized by a low signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) due to the presence of data noise, significantly degrading the reliability of imaging and interpretation. Current DAS data noise reduction methods remain insufficient in simultaneously preserving weak signals and eliminating various types of noise. Particularly when dealing with DAS data that are contaminated by four types of noise (i.e., high-frequency noise, high-amplitude erratic noise, horizontal noise, and random background noise), it becomes challenging to attenuate the strong noise while maintaining fine-scale features. To address these issues, we develop an integrated local orthogonalization (LO) method that can remove a mixture of different types of noise while protecting the useful signal. Our LO method effectively eliminates the aforementioned noise by concatenating multiple denoising operators including a band-pass filter, a structure-oriented, spatially varying median filter, a dip filter in the frequency-wavenumber domain, and a curvelet filter. Next, the local orthogonalization weighting operator is applied to extract signal energy from the removed noise section. We demonstrate the robustness of our LO method on various challenging DAS data sets from the Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy geothermal field. The denoising results demonstrate that our LO method can successfully minimize the levels of different types of noise while preserving the energy of weak signals.
A Disputed Inheritance

AbstractDuring the nineteenth century the medieval history of the city of Arras became increasingly important for cultivation of the literary and musical history of the French nation. Modern scholars typically cast the remarkable culture of medieval Arras within the context of France, largely erasing the city's complex geopolitical position during the medieval period. This article argues that the historiography is more complicated, revealing scholars who attempted to claim medieval Arrageois culture for Belgium, as well as scholars whose regionalist approach to cultural history defied contemporary nationalist currents on either side of the Franco-Belgian border. In showing the variety of nineteenth-century approaches to writing the cultural history of this important medieval center, the article argues that Arras and its history provide a useful context for understanding how the nascent Belgian nation curated and understood its past.

Authors: Poletaeva T. 
Published: November 2023

In the context of the review of key religious, cultural and political events in the history of Russia in 1682–1750 and modern Russia during the last 42 years (in the period 1980–1990 and 1990 to the present), according to data of the National Corpus of Russian a comparison is done of the frequency of the typical Christian notions in Russian. In the pointed temporal intervals among the Christian notions confessional main concepts are identified in Russian existing due to Orthodox Christianity and having the highest frequency,
and the features of the dynamics of frequency of the identified religious concepts in 1980–1990 are considered in comparison with the retrospective epoch of 1682–1750, as well as of 1990–2023 in Russian language communicative discourse. The changes in the hierarchy in the religious concept sphere and the dynamics of the frequency of Christian notions in the pointed temporal intervals of Russian are interpreted.
Maiden speech as a genre of parliamentary discourse: a functional aspect
Authors: Kukshinova Elena 
Published: November 2023

Introduction. The paper focuses on the genre of a maiden speech, which is the first official speech of a newly elected parliamentarian. The relevance of the research is due to the fact that no special studies of this genre have been presented in the linguistic literature so far.
Aim. The study aims at discovering and describing the functional features of a maiden speech.
Methodology and research methods. The methods used in the work include the descriptive method, the methods of discursive, contextual, functional and stylistic analysis.
Results. As a result of the study, the following main functions of a maiden speech are identified: the functions of presentation, social identification and solidarity, the performative function, the functions of orientation, differentiation and confrontation. Special features and means of implementing each of the functions are considered. It is concluded that a maiden speech is a “hybrid” speech genre, in which the signs of ritual genres are combined with the signs of orientational genres; the features of agonal genres can also be found in a maiden speech.
The scientific novelty of this study lies in the functional approach to the description of the speech genre under consideration.
The practical significance of the paper is determined by the fact that its results can be used in the courses of lectures on political linguistics, discourse theory, genristics and rhetoric.
Input-output analysis: Revenue facilites in Batam, Bintan and Karimun free trade zone
Authors: Gultom Yulifar Amin 
Published: November 2023

Indonesia has four regions declared as free trade zone, which is Sabang, Batam, Bintan, and Karimun. However, Government Regulation Number 41 2021 only puts a lot of focus in the development of Batam, Bintan and Karimun. This study aims to see the impact of free trade zone as a facility given by government using input-output analysis. The impact will be measured as multiplier effect. The usage of input-output analysis differentiate this study with prior research. Input-output analysis is also used to provide priority sector of Batam, Bintan, and Karimun. This study finds that free trade zone facility provides total impact of Rp20.161,02 billion, but also shows that Batam, Bintan, and Karimun (Riau Islands Province) only provides the lowest multiplier effect compares to other provinces. By using priority sector, this study shows that from 22 development themes of Batam, Bintan, and Karimun, only 14 themes are worthy to be sustained and done. Therefore, the government needs to accelerate the integration within Batam, Bintan, and Karimun and other regions around them to boost their multiplier effect. Government also needs to reanalyze the feasibility of Batam, Bintan, and Karimun’s development themes. This study implies that from input-output analysis can be derived how effective the revenue facility given and what sectors which government needs to focus on to develop Riau Islands’ economies better. This study uses 2016 interregional input-output table, next study can be done using the latest interregional input-output table.

Published: November 2023

BackgroundThere are numerous risk factors for osteoporosis and understanding and recognizing these risk factors is critical when deciding whether to take preventive measures. It is critical to reduce the healthcare expenditure burden of the Pakistani population by raising awareness and implementing osteoporosis-preventable measures. This survey aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of Pakistani women as well as their misconceptions about osteoporosis.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted from August 2021 to January 2022 by the Bone & Mineral Disease research group at Section of Chemical Pathology, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Aga Khan University, Karachi, with exemption from the ethical review committee. Using snowball sampling, a validated Osteoporosis Prevention and Awareness Tool (OPAAT) was disseminated online via social media. With informed consent, 400 Pakistani women aged ≥ 18 years were included in the study. SPSS Statistics version 25.0 was used for data analysis. Chi-square test for association and Fisher-exact test were applied, and significance level was α<0.05.ResultsBased on the OPAAT scores of all(n = 400)participants, 22%(n = 88)had low knowledge, 44%(n = 176)had average knowledge, while 34%(n = 136)had good knowledge of osteoporosis. The most common misconceptions were about age-related risk, presentation of symptoms, radiation risk, associated risk factors like tooth loss, osteoarthritis, and knowledge about predictors of bone health.ConclusionAdult Pakistani women have a fair understanding of osteoporosis, but the OPAAT tool clarifies some common misconceptions. There is a need to develop educational strategies to increase the knowledge of osteoporosis among Pakistani adults and to promote a bone-healthy lifestyle.

Published: November 2023

BackgroundRemarkable reduction in global under-five mortality has been seen over the past two decades. However, Ethiopia is among the five countries which account for about half (49%) of all under-five mortality worldwide. This study aimed at identifying factors associated with under-five children mortality in Ethiopia using the 2019 Ethiopia mini demography and health survey data.MethodsThe most recent national representative demography and health survey data of Ethiopia, 2019 Ethiopia mini demography and health survey data, were used for this study. Count data regression models were applied to identify the factors associated with under-five children mortality. Statistical significance was declared at P-value less than 0.05.ResultsZero-Inflated Poisson (ZIP) regression model was found to be the best model compared to other count regression models based on models comparison Criteria. The ZIP model revealed that decreased risk of under-five mortality was associated with mothers aged 25–34 years, unmarried mothers, mothers delivered in health facility, mothers used Pill/IUD, mothers who had larger number of children at home whereas increased risk of under-five mortality was associated with older mothers at their first births, mothers from rural areas, mothers travel for 1–30 min and >30 min to get drinking water, mothers used charcoal and wood, children with higher birth order and multiple births.ConclusionsIn this study, place of residence, region, place of delivery, religion, age of mother, mother’s age at first birth, marital status, birth order, birth type, current contraceptive type used, type of cooking fuel, time to get drinking water, and number of children at home were statistically significant factors associated with under-five mortality in Ethiopia. Thus, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health and other concerned bodies are recommended to encourage mothers to deliver at health institutions, give awareness for mothers to use Pill/IUD contraceptive type, and facilitate rural areas to have electricity and drinking water near to homes so as to minimize the under-five mortality to achieve the sustainable development goal.

Backgrounds
The therapeutic efficacy studies of DHA-PIP for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum patients were implemented from 2012 to 2016 along China (Yunnan province)-Myanmar border, which verified the high efficacy of DHA-PIP. With the samples collected in these studies, the genetic characteristics of P. falciparum parasites based on in vivo parasite clearance time (PCT) was investigated to explore if these parasites had developed resistance to DHA and PIP at molecular level.

Methods
The genetic characteristics were investigated based on K13 genotypes, copy numbers of genes pfpm2 and pfmdr1, and nine microsatellite loci (Short Tandem Repeats, STR) flanking the K13 gene on chromosome 13. The PCT 50s were compared based on different K13 genotypes, sites, periods and copy numbers.

Results
In the NW (North-West Yunnan province bordering with Myanmar) region, F446I was the main K13 genotype. No significant differences for PCT 50s presented among three K13 genotypes. In SW (South-West Yunnan province bordering with Myanmar) region, only wild K13 genotype was detected in all parasite isolates whose PCT 50s was significantly longer than those in NW region. For the copy numbers of genes, parasite isolates containing multiple copies of pfmdr1 gene were found in both regions, but only single copy of pfpm2 gene was detected. Though the prevalence of parasite isolates with multiple copies of pfmdr1 gene in SW region was higher than that in NW region, no difference in PCT 50s were presented between isolates with single and multiple copies of pfmdr1 gene. The median He values of F446I group and Others (Non-F446I K13 mutation) group were 0.08 and 0.41 respectively. The mean He values of ML group (Menglian County in SW) and W (wild K13 genotype in NW) group were 0 and 0.69 respectively. The mean Fst values between ML and W groups were significantly higher than the other two K13 groups.

Conclusions
P. falciparum isolates in NW and SW regions had very different genetic characteristics. The F446I was hypothesized to have independently appeared and spread in NW region from 2012 and 2016. The high susceptibility of PIP had ensured the efficacy of DHA-PIP in vivo. Multiple copy numbers of pfmdr1 gene might be a potential cause of prolonged clearance time of ACTs drugs along China-Myanmar border.

Published: November 2023

Popular culture surrounds us all and becomes an indispensable part of our lives, which is why it is important to conduct research in this field. The article is based on two series dedicated to youth, Euforia and 13 Reasons Why. In this text, I described the educational potential of popular culture, introduced the phenomenon of the series and mentioned these types. Moreover, I included information about what attracts the viewer to this type of audiovisual messages. The dominant topic in this analysis of the series is the intra-family relations of young people. I described parenting styles, relationships in adolescent families, family types, conflict issues in families, and the trust and au- tonomy of adolescents. The crucial important issue of social, emotional and spiritual orphanage was raised, too.
Profilaktyka antymobbingowa – faktyczne działanie pracodawców czy fikcja?
Authors: Szczęsna Iwona 
Published: November 2023

Mobbing as a pathological social phenomenon destroys the values that professional work offers people and violates their dignity. Therefore, the experience of mobbing in the workplace can with out doubt be classified as a critical life event. Analysis of the mobbing situation in terms of a critical life event helps to conclude that it carries the risk of regression, destabilization in personal and professional life, and halts development if a person does not cope with the effects and consequences of the situation. That is why anti-mobbing prevention in the workplace is so important. Unfortunately, the provision of article 94 §1 of the Labor Code, regulating the employer’s obligations in the field of mobbing in the work environment, is relatively general and is limited to indicating that the employer is obliged to prevent mobbing. There is no need to look for a provision in the labor code that would specify exactly what the employer’s actions should be understood under the obligation defined in this way. The article presents the results that are part of a broader study on anti-mobbing prevention in the workplace. The narratives of the respondents were analyzed through the prism of the actual actions taken by employers in the context of anti-mobbing prevention. The research areas concerned: application of internal anti-mobbing policy, implementation of preventive training on mobbing and combating negative effects and other psychosocial risks in the workplace, and employers’ other anti-mobbing policies.
Calibration – an under-appreciated component in the analytical process of the medical laboratories
Authors: Sonntag Oswald , Loh Tze Ping 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Calibration of an analytical measurement procedure is an important basis for the reliability of patient results. Many publications and as well as procedures on how to estimate quality control and interpret those results have been become available over the years. In this publication we are focusing on the critical part of the calibration as there are no clear communication or guidelines on how to perform it. Usually only the recommendation of the reagent or instrument manufacturer is available. We would like to point out this gap to invite for a discussion and improvement of the current situation.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Genomics and bioinformatics methods were used to screen genes and molecular markers correlated with colorectal cancer incidence and progression, and their biological functions were analyzed. Differentially expressed genes were obtained using the GEO2R program following colorectal cancer chip data GSE44076 retrieval from the Gene Expression Omnibus gene expression comprehensive database. An online database (David) that combines annotation, visualization, and gene discovery was utilized for investigating genes. Pathway and protein analyses were performed via resources from the Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Visual analysis of the KEGG pathway was carried out according to ClueGO and CluePedia to establish the PPI network of gene interaction between pathways; the genes with the highest connectivity were screened by the molecular complex detection analysis method as Hub genes in this study; gene expression was verified by GEPIA online analysis tool, and Kaplan–Meier survival curve was drawn for prognosis analysis. By analyzing GSE44076 microarray data, 86 genes were selected, and colorectal cancer tissues’ upregulation was observed in 27 genes and downregulation in 59 ones. GO assessment revealed that the differentially expressed genes were basically correlated with retinol dehydrogenase activity, carbon dehydrogenase activity, collagen-containing extracellular matrix, anchored component of memory, and cellular hormone metabolic process. Moreover, the KEGG assessment revealed that the differential genes contained various signal pathways such as retinol metabolism, chemical carotenogenesis, and nitrogen metabolism. Through further analysis of the PPI protein network, 4 clusters were obtained, and 16 Hub genes were screened out by combining the degree of each gene. Through the analysis of each gene on the prognosis of colon cancer through the GEPIA online analysis website, it was found that the expression levels of AQP8, CXCL8, and ZG16 genes were remarkably associated with colon cancer prognosis (P < 0.05). Genomics and bioinformatics methods can effectively analyze the genes and molecular markers correlated with colorectal cancer incidence and progression, help to systematically clarify the molecular mechanism of 16 key genes in colorectal cancer development and progression, and provide a theoretically valid insight for the screening of diagnostic markers of colorectal cancer and the selection of accurate targets for drug therapy.
A layer potential approach to inverse problems in brain imaging
Authors: Asensio Paul , Badier Jean-Michel , Leblond Juliette , Marmorat Jean-Paul , Nemaire Masimba 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We study the inverse source localisation problem using the electric potential measured point-wise inside the head with stereo-ElectroEncephaloGraphy (sEEG), the electric potential measured point-wise on the scalp with ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG) or the magnetic flux density measured point-wise outside the head with MagnetoEncephaloGraphy (MEG).
We present a method that works on a wide range of models of primary currents; in particular, we give details for primary currents that are assumed to be smooth vector fields that are supported on and normally oriented to the grey/white matter interface.
Irrespective of the data used, we also solve the transmission problem of the electric potential associated with a recovered source; hence we solve the cortical mapping problem.
To ensure that the electric potential and normal currents are continuous in the head, the electric potential is expressed as a linear combination of double layer potentials and the magnetic flux density is expressed as a linear combination of single layer potentials.
Numerically, we solve the problems on meshed surfaces of the grey/white matter interface, cortical surface, skull and scalp.
A main feature of the numerical approach we take is that, on the meshed surfaces, we can compute the double and single layer potentials exactly and at arbitrary points.
Because we explicitly study the transmission of the electric potential in head when using magnetic data, the coupling of electric and magnetic data in the source recovery problem is made explicit and shows the advantage of using simultaneous electric and magnetic data.
We provide numerical examples of the source recovery and inverse cortical mapping using synthetic data.
Reuocat tua forma parentem – Hasdrubals Fest, Scipios Besuch bei Syphax und ihre epischen Bezüge
Authors: Schwameis Christoph 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper considers two scenes in Books 15 and 16 of the Punica of Silius Italicus: Hasdrubal’s celebration of the founding of Carthage with the ecphrasis of the general’s cloak (Sil. 15,410–440) and Scipio’s visit to the court of King Syphax (16,170–276). For both passages there are important reference texts in scenes of Vergil’s Aeneid and Statius’ Thebaid that have until now received no, or not enough, attention: Aeneas’ visit to the future Rome (Aen. 8,102–553) and the sacrifice of Eteocles (Theb. 11,205–238). After a brief assessment of the historiographical basis, I set out the influence in content and language of these reference texts on the two scenes. Further, I consider the adaptation of other epic pre-texts in the ecphrasis of Hasdrubal’s cloak and propose a new interpretation: the ecphrasis links Hasdrubal to Ganymede, Polyphemus and Cacus, and Scipio with Jupiter, Odysseus and Hercules. The study highlights positive and negative aspects of the pre-texts and shows the ambivalent characterisation of Silius’ Scipio, who is associated both with positive figures (Hercules and Aeneas) and with the sinister Polynices. The shared reference of the two scenes of the Punica has a linking, framing and preparatory function.
