Traveling salesman problem parallelization by solving clustered subproblems
Authors: Romanuke Vadim 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
A method of parallelizing the process of solving the traveling salesman problem is suggested, where the solver is a heuristic algorithm. The traveling salesman problem parallelization is fulfilled by clustering the nodes into a given number of groups. Every group (cluster) is an open-loop subproblem that can be solved independently of other subproblems. Then the solutions of the respective subproblems are aggregated into a closed loop route being an approximate solution to the initial traveling salesman problem. The clusters should be enumerated such that then the connection of two “neighboring” subproblems (with successive numbers) be as short as possible. For this, the destination nodes of the open-loop subproblems are selected farthest from the depot and closest to the starting node for the subsequent subproblem. The initial set of nodes can be clustered manually by covering them with a finite regular-polygon mesh having the required number of cells. The efficiency of the parallelization is increased by solving all the subproblems in parallel, but the problem should be at least of 1000 nodes or so. Then, having no more than a few hundred nodes in a cluster, the genetic algorithm is especially efficient by executing all the routine calculations during every iteration whose duration becomes shorter.
The Textual Tradition of the Life of Saint Irene the Empress*
Authors: Grigoraş Isabela 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Despite the obvious significance of Empress Irene of Athens for the history of Orthodoxy, her vita has a very poor textual tradition: a single extant manuscript and a single printed edition of the entire text. Moreover, this hagiographic writing is mostly drawn from a historical one, that is, Theophanes’ Chronographia; only the last part of the vita, which presents the exile and the dying words of Irene, seems to be the original contribution of the hagiographer. The purpose of this paper is to offer a philological and hagiological perspective on the Life of Saint Irene the Empress and to show that the shortcomings of this vita might be the main reasons for its lack of popularity.

Published: December 2023

Theoretical reference: Agglomerated stones are defined as composites formed by a mixture of resin, mineral aggregates and additives. Among the desired qualities of a stone is its gloss, which may change over time, exposure to the elements, use, among others. This problem can occur in both ornamental stones and agglomerated stones.

Method/project/approach: 3 types of agglomerated stones measuring 7cm x 7cm were used to carry out the test. First, the samples were cleaned with running water without the use of cleaning products, and with the help of a soft bristle brush, then they were left to drain the excess water. After 10 minutes, they were placed in an oven at 75°C for 2 hours to dry. After drying, the first gloss measurement was carried out. After measuring the initial gloss, the samples were exposed in a natural environment exposed to the elements (wind, heat, sun and rain) for 285 days, and then the final gloss was measured.

Results and conclusion: This work sought to compare the loss of gloss and chromatic observation in agglomerated stones subjected to natural cycling. The importance of the mineralogical composition of the samples can be seen, all of them have a percentage of quartz in their composition greater than 74%. The greatest loss of gloss, color change, occurs in the sample (A3).

Research implications: Compare the loss of gloss between samples of three types of agglomerated stones and compare with the chromatic loss, evaluating these changes when the sample is subjected to weathering over time.

Originality/value: perform gloss analysis on agglomerated stones, after natural cycling simulating weathering.

Dangerous or in Danger?
Authors: Sivanesan Mathuri 
Published: December 2023

Rebecca Hall’s 2021 adaptation of Nella Larsen's Passing, establishes themes of safety in a visual context, examining the Black bodily experience in both white and Black spaces. Hall's use of greyscale lighting, diegetic & non-diegetic sounds, and, most importantly, omission, spotlights what it means to be Black in white space. In the same way Larsen’s story rejects the possibility of ever being safe as a Black person, regardless of whether one can pass as white or not, Hall's cinematic methodology reveals the character of Clare as both dangerous and yet always in danger. Controlling what the viewer is allowed to see, Hall presents a newfound method of storytelling that confronts Black violence in a manner that rejects the glorification of Black trauma, while also presenting the dangers Black persons face from merely existing in their body.
"The Invisible Woman" and "In the Rehab Waiting Room"
Authors: Herman Deborah Denise 
Published: December 2023

I have been ruminating lately on the notion of “white space,” “writer’s block,” and selfhood following a traumatic brain injury that caused word-finding problems during the acute phase of my recovery. I have coined the term, “neuropoetics” to denote the attempt to describe in poetry and flash fiction the experience of “drawing a blank” or being silenced by a medical condition.
Attached you will find three poems for your consideration: “Memory Villanelle,” “The Invisible Woman,” and “In the Rehab Waiting Room.” I was inspired by Laurie Clements Lambeth’s statement regarding the use of formal structure in her poetry about her Multiple Sclerosis, the blurring of bodily boundaries: “I needed the cage of a villanelle—so restrictive, in that very few lines can truly further the poem along, and yet so obsessive a form—to house the poem” (171). I have tried the same technique to describe the connection between memory and identity. “The Invisible Woman” takes as much from the Marvel universe as H.G. Wells; in it, I use the figure of Sue Storm and her dubious gift of being ignored as representative of the experience of an “invisible disability,” or something neurological rather than physically identifiable. Finally, “In the Rehab Waiting Room” was accidentally inspired by Elizabeth Bishop’s famous poem, as per the epigraph. It was an early attempt to capture the feeling of being a “blank slate” or having that post-traumatic “blank stare” that avoids eye contact with others

Violence Against Women Act: Re-authorization and Impact for Forensic Health Professionals
Authors: Holbrook Debra 
Published: December 2023

Since Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in 1994, millions of dollars have been expended to raise awareness and combat domestic violence to improve and increase provision of services to victims of violence including domestic, intimate partner, stalking, dating, and sexual assault. VAWA aims to provide housing and shelter services, and improves the manner in which the justice system responds to crimes of domestic and associated violence. (Seghetti & Bjelopera, 2012). Federal grants were created and administered by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Office for Violence Against Women (OVW) during the past 29 years and VAWA funding was reauthorized in 2022 to federal, state and tribal agencies. This article reviews the history of the VAWA Act, tracks milestones in Federal funding, and recognizes forensic nursing benchmarks including the generalist approach.

Published: December 2023

Optimalisasi penggunaan pupuk Nitrogen (N) sangat penting untuk meningkatkan produktivitas tanaman padi. Untuk mengetahui jumlah pupuk yang diperlukan oleh tanaman padi, petani umumnya menggunakan Bagan Warna Daun (BWD) dengan cara mencocokkan warna daun padi dengan warna pada BWD secara manual. Namun, hal ini sangat memakan waktu. Salah satu strategi untuk meningkatkan efisiensi penentuan kebutuhan pupuk N adalah dengan menggunakan Multi-spectral Drone. Drone digunakan untuk mengambil citra multispectral, kemudian citra ini digunakan untuk menentukan kebutuhan pupuk N. Penelitian ini membandingkan beberapa algoritma klasifikasi untuk memodelkan kebutuhan pupuk N dari data citra multispectral, dengan menggunakan ground truth dari penskalaan BWD. Algoritma klasifikasi yang dibandingkan yaitu Decision Tree (DT), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), dan K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN). Kinerja kelima algoritma klasifikasi diukur berdasarkan accuracy, recall, precision dan F1 score. Dalam penelitian ini, ditemukan bahwa model klasifikasi yang memiliki kinerja terbaik adalah algoritma Decision Tree (DT) baik dalam perlakuan tanpa normalisasi dan balancing dan dengan normalisasi dan balancing dengan nilai accuracy, recall, precision, dan­­­ F1-score di atas 90%.
Changing Rules While Playing: On the Affective Potential of In-Game Rule Changes
Authors: Kiss Gábor Zoltán 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The essay deals with a powerful feature of games, the phenomenon of in-game rule change or, more specifically, the occasional, even if regulated, breach of contract between the game and the player, which has a dramatic effect on the player’s experience. I attempt to define this phenomenon through the concepts of operational rules, meaningful play, board state and victory points, and then review our perceptions and preconceptions of board games, which are seen in most cases as a balanced means of social puzzle solving. The examples discussed demonstrate that some modern games are far more interactive, dynamic, and less balanced than we might imagine, which makes rule changes during play possible and dramatic. (GZK)
The Stalinist Soviet Union in the Disney Animated Cartoon Tale Spin
Authors: Kiss Ádám László 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The Disney animated cartoon television series TaleSpin was released in 1990, at the end of a decade that started with an escalation of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and ended in the abolition of nuclear weapons, which foreshadowed the eventual downfall of the USSR in 1991. This “adventure-plus comedy” American series successfully combines sources not only from within the studio (the 1967 Disney animated version of The Jungle Book), but also from adventure films outside the studio (Casablanca, Indiana Jones movies), and most interestingly, it weaves in a harsh parody of Stalinist Soviet Union. TaleSpin effectively captures the complex political climate of the 1980s–1990s by presenting the conditions of high Stalinism (mass repressions, executions, and show trials) in the military state Thembria with her Thembrian inhabitants, the anthropomorphic warthogs. The essay explores the characteristic topoi of Stalin’s Soviet Union in the series with an overview of US–Soviet relationship and the general perception of the USSR in the United States in the 1980s. The essay argues that the American image of the USSR established in the 1930s–1950s was extrapolated to post-Stalinist periods of Soviet history and was still prevalent in the 1980s, thus shaping the conception of Thembria and the Thembrians.

Published: December 2023

Risk management is an activity that combines risk recognition, risk assessment, the development of strategies to manage it, and risk mitigation using managerial resources. Some traditional approaches to risk management focus on risks arising from physical or legal causes (such as natural disasters or fires, accidents, or mortality). On the other hand, financial risk management focuses on hazards that can be managed using traded financial instruments. The objective of risk management is to reduce to an acceptable level the various hazards associated with a predetermined domain. It can refer to a variety of hazards posed by the environment, technology, people, organizations, and politics.
This paper describes the various steps of the risk management process, identifies the methodologies used at each step, and provides examples of risk and safety management that is used at PT. Energia Kopi Kreasindo.
Exploring Information Behaviour: A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Educational Video Consumption among LIS Students in Three Countries
Authors: Boté-Vericad Juan-José , Minguillón Julià , Adilović Emina 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Purpose. The use of educational videos in higher education is progressively widespread among professors and students. Numerous digital platforms worldwide provide publicly available educational videos. This study investigates the perceptions of LIS students in three countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Spain, specifically focusing on their search for educational videos on YouTube. Additionally, it examines their habits, motivations, and reasons for searching educational videos in relation to their studies.
Methodology. In this study, the authors employed the focus group technique. Two focus groups were conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, one in Croatia, and two in Spain. The sample consisted of LIS students selected through convenience sampling. The age range of the students was approximately 19 to 25 years old.
Limitations. This study has a few limitations. One of the limitations is that some students had to communicate in English, which is not their native language. While they were quite fluent, it is possible that some nuances in the interaction may have been missed.
Results. The results show that LIS students have similar motivations for searching for educational videos, such as improving their knowledge and having more or new information than what is provided in class. However, there are differences in the way they consume educational videos. The number of videos available in their native language generates a different cultural approach, as well as the use of different strategies for searching for educational videos.
Originality/value. This study examines the variations in information behaviour regarding the use of educational videos on YouTube among LIS students from different countries, highlighting the contrasting contexts.
