O caráter poético do Amor no discurso de Agatão no Banquete platônico: forma líquida, símbolos como corpos e brincadeira
Authors: Baratieri Pedro Luz 
Published: November 2023

Esse artigo tenta mostrar alguns aspectos da importante relação entre Amor (Eros) e poesia no diálogo Banquete de Platão, focando, porém, no discurso de Agatão. Com esse intuito, o texto começa sublinhando o caráter poético da competição em que consiste a famosa série de elogios ao Eros. Depois o texto foca em uma leitura do discurso de Agatão, dando destaque a três pontos: como (1) a tese de que o Eros teria uma forma líquida se relacionaria com a poesia; como (2) o uso que Agatão faz das palavras deixa evidente o caráter corpóreo desses símbolos, mostrando assim que não apenas os corpos seriam símbolos, como pretendia o discurso de Aristófanes, mas também os símbolos seriam corpos, algo crucial para a relação entre Eros e poesia; e como (3) o fato de Agatão brincar com as palavras mostra que se pode ter uma relação não-instrumental com as palavras, que assim, a exemplo dos seres esféricos de Aristófanes, não precisariam remeter a nada fora delas mesmas.

Published: November 2023

The tessellation method, which is a mathematical concept used in geometric design, is also used in architecture and engineering, as in many other fields. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the tessellation configurations in structural systems within the scope of geometric design in architecture, to show the effectiveness of geometry in the architectural production in these structures and to highlight the tessellation-structure relationship. The number of studies emphasizing tessellation configurations in structural systems is limited. For this reason, the study will contribute to the literature. The research question of the study is how tessellation configurations are applied in structural systems and how this relationship is established. Depending on this research question, eight architectural buildings in different cities with different tessellation configurations were examined within the scope of this study. Content analysis was performed by looking at the architectural features of these structures, and a comparative analysis framework was created with the data obtained. Inferences were made on geometric and architectural features. As a result, it has been seen that tessellation patterns are used and will continue to be used on a wide scale in structural design.
The Critical Length is a Good Measure to Distinguish between Stick Balancing in the ML and AP Directions
Authors: Nagy Dalma J. , Insperger Tamás 
Published: November 2023

Seven novice subjects participated in experiments of stick balancing on a linear track in the anterior-posterior (AP) and the medio-lateral (ML) directions. The goal of the experiments was to test how the depth perception in the subjects' AP direction affects balancing performance compared to balancing in the ML direction, where depth perception does not play a role. It is easier to balance longer sticks than shorter ones, therefore balancing performance is measured by the length of the shortest stick that subjects can balance. Subjects were found to be able to balance shorter sticks in the ML direction than in the AP direction: the ratio of the shortest stick lengths in the ML direction relative to the AP direction was in average 0.53. Thus, the additional challenge posed by depth perception in the AP direction is clearly observable. Additionally, repeated trials were carried out for 5 consecutive days to assess the development of balancing skill by using stabilometry analysis. The maximal balance time of the subjects significantly increased with the days of practice.
Occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in Antarctica and its impact on the health of organisms
Authors: Bhardwaj Laxmi Kant 
Published: November 2023

Antarctica, and its surrounding environment, is considered untouched, and it is thought that it is free from microplastic (MP) pollution. However, recent studies and science projects have reported MPs in both water and sediment in the South Polar Regions. These reports state that MP pollution occurs in this region due to fishing, tourism, and research activities by the nearby countries, with natural circulation also part of it. The Antarctic Treaty System (ATS) has given attention to MP pollution and has initiated research on it. MPs are tiny plastic particles with a size of less than 5 mm. They have two types: 1. Primary MPs, which have been manufactured directly from various applications like cosmetics and scrubbing, etc. 2. Secondary MPs, which are generated by the photochemical degradation of large plastics. Although several studies have been done, there is a quite gap in our understanding of the concentration, characteristics, and impact of plastics on the ecosystem of the Antarctic Region. The impact of MP pollution in this region may be very high. The presence of MPs is a serious issue that is affecting not only the aquatic environment but also humans. It is an alarming situation that causes environmental damage. The main objective of this paper is to review MP introduction, occurrence in biotic and abiotic components, sources, harmful effects, and detection methods/techniques. This review highlights the various methodologies and analyses like density separation, microscope observation of MP’s properties Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Raman spectrometer, respectively, and urges for more research in the future, giving several recommendations to maintain the pristine region near Antarctica.

Examining share repurchase executions: insights and synthesis from the existing literature
Authors: Osterrieder Joerg , Seigne Michael 
Published: November 2023

This literature review aims to address the critical knowledge gap in the field of share repurchase executions, a financial activity involving companies repurchasing trillions of dollars' worth of their own shares. The significance of understanding these mechanisms and their impact is underscored by their potential influence on the global economy. The paper employs a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, focusing on share repurchase mechanisms and motivations. It scrutinizes both open-market repurchases and Accelerated Share Repurchase contracts. Methodological approaches in current research, such as the use of partial differential equations and tree methods, are also evaluated. The review reveals that the execution phase of share repurchases remains largely unexplored. Unanswered questions persist about trading schedules, implications, costs, broker and corporate performance, and psychological effects of beating a buyback benchmark. Additionally, the review identifies significant limitations in current research methodologies. The paper advocates for the application and development of more advanced tools like machine learning and artificial intelligence to address these gaps. It also suggests potential areas for future research, including the role of technology in share repurchase execution, psychological factors influencing corporate buybacks, and the development of performance metrics for brokers and corporations. The review serves not only to highlight existing gaps in literature but also to suggest avenues for future research that could fundamentally enhance our understanding of share repurchase executions.JEL classificationG1, G12, G14, G02, G4.
Patient-specific air puff-induced loading using machine learning
Authors: Desouky Nada A. , Saafan Mahmoud M. , Mansour Mohamed H. , Maklad Osama M. 
Published: November 2023

Introduction: The air puff test is a contactless tonometry test used to measure the intraocular pressure and the cornea’s biomechanical properties. Limitations that most challenge the accuracy of the estimation of the corneal material and the intraocular pressure are the strong intercorrelation between the intraocular pressure and the corneal parameters, either the material properties that can change from one person to another because of age or the geometry parameters like central corneal thickness. This influence produces inaccuracies in the corneal deformation parameters while extracting the IOP parametric equation, which can be reduced through the consideration of the patient-specific air puff pressure distribution taking into account the changes in corneal parameters. This air puff pressure loading distribution can be determined precisely from the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) coupling between the air puff and the eye model. However, the computational fluid dynamics simulation of the air puff in the coupling algorithm is a time-consuming model that is impractical to use in clinical practice and large parametric studies.Methods: By using a supervised machine learning algorithm, we predict the time-dependent air puff pressure distribution for different corneal parameters via a parametric study of the corneal deformations and the gradient boosting algorithm.Results: The results confirmed that the algorithm gives the time-dependent air puff pressure distribution with an MAE of 0.0258, an RMSE of 0.0673, and an execution time of 93 s, which is then applied to the finite element model of the eye generating the corresponding corneal deformations taking into account the FSI influence. Using corneal deformations, the response parameters can be extracted and used to produce more accurate algorithms of the intraocular pressure and corneal material stress-strain index (SSI).Discussion: Estimating the distribution of air pressure on the cornea is essential to increase the accuracy of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements, which serve as valuable indicator of corneal disease. We find that the air puff pressure loading is largely influenced by complex changes in corneal parameters unique to each patient case. With our innovative algorithm, we can preserve the same accuracy developed by the CFD-based FSI model, while reducing the computational time from approximately 101000 s (28 h) to 720 s (12 min), which is about 99.2% reduction in time. This huge improvement in computational cost will lead to significant improvement in the parametric equations for IOP and the Stress-Strain Index (SSI).

BackgroundMyocarditis is a condition that can have severe adverse outcomes and lead to sudden cardiac death if remaining undetected. This study tested the capability of cardiac magnetic field mapping to detect patients with clinically suspected myocarditis. This could open up the way for rapid, non-invasive, and cost-effective screening of suspected cases before a gold standard assessment via endomyocardial biopsy.MethodsHistorical cardiac magnetic field maps (n = 97) and data from a state-of-the-art magnetocardiography device (n = 30) were analyzed using the Kullback–Leibler entropy (KLE) for dimensionality reduction and topological quantification. Linear discriminant analysis was used to discern between patients with ongoing myocarditis and healthy controls.ResultsThe STT segment of a magnetocardiogram, i.e., the section between the end of the S wave and the end of the T wave, was best suited to discern both groups. Using a 250-ms excerpt from the onset of the STT segment gave a reliable classification between the myocarditis and control group for both historic data (sensitivity: 0.83, specificity: 0.85, accuracy: 0.84) and recent data (sensitivity: 0.69, specificity: 0.88, accuracy: 0.80) using the KLE to quantify the topology of the cardiac magnetic field map.ConclusionThe implementation based on KLE can reliably distinguish between clinically suspected myocarditis patients and healthy controls. We implemented an automatized feature selection based on LDA to replace the observer-dependent manual thresholding in previous studies.

BackgroundThe Langendorff-perfused ex-vivo isolated heart model has been extensively used to study cardiac function for many years. However, electrical and mechanical function are often studied separately—despite growing proof of a complex electro-mechanical interaction in cardiac physiology and pathology. Therefore, we developed an isolated mouse heart perfusion system that allows simultaneous recording of electrical and mechanical function.MethodsIsolated mouse hearts were mounted on a Langendorff setup and electrical function was assessed via a pseudo-ECG and an octapolar catheter inserted in the right atrium and ventricle. Mechanical function was simultaneously assessed via a balloon inserted into the left ventricle coupled with pressure determination. Hearts were then submitted to an ischemia-reperfusion protocol.ResultsAt baseline, heart rate, PR and QT intervals, intra-atrial and intra-ventricular conduction times, as well as ventricular effective refractory period, could be measured as parameters of cardiac electrical function. Left ventricular developed pressure (DP), left ventricular work (DP-heart rate product) and maximal velocities of contraction and relaxation were used to assess cardiac mechanical function. Cardiac arrhythmias were observed with episodes of bigeminy during which DP was significantly increased compared to that of sinus rhythm episodes. In addition, the extrasystole-triggered contraction was only 50% of that of sinus rhythm, recapitulating the “pulse deficit” phenomenon observed in bigeminy patients. After ischemia, the mechanical function significantly decreased and slowly recovered during reperfusion while most of the electrical parameters remained unchanged. Finally, the same electro-mechanical interaction during episodes of bigeminy at baseline was observed during reperfusion.ConclusionOur modified Langendorff setup allows simultaneous recording of electrical and mechanical function on a beat-to-beat scale and can be used to study electro-mechanical interaction in isolated mouse hearts.

ObjectiveTo investigate clinical and singleton newborn outcomes in fresh cycles of embryo transfer after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI-ET) with diverse sperm sources (ejaculate, epididymis, and testis) in patients with Oligoasthenospermia, obstructive azoospermia (OA) or non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA).MethodsPatients who received fresh ICSI-ET for the first time at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University Reproductive Medicine Center between June 2011 and June 2021 were selected for this 10-year retrospective cohort analysis. After propensity score matching, only 1630 cycles were included in the investigation of ICS-ET clinical and singleton newborn outcomes in patients with Oligoasthenospermia, OA, and NOA using sperm from diverse sperm sources.Result(s)After propensity score matching, our data revealed a negligible difference in baseline and cycle parameters among groups. In patients with Oligoasthenospermia and OA, different sperm sources do not appear to influence clinical pregnancy rates and live birth rates, nor do they influence newborn outcomes, such as newborn weight, premature birth rate, and neonatal sex ratio in singleton births, except for OA patients who use epididymal sperm having higher low birth weight (LBW) rates in singleton pregnancies than those who use testicular sperm. In addition, clinical pregnancy rates, live birth rates, singleton gestation birth weights, premature birth rates, and neonatal sex ratios were similar between patients with Oligoasthenospermia, OA, and NOA using testicular sperm.Conclusion(s)Regardless of the type of male infertility (Oligoasthenospermia, OA, NOA) or sperm sources (ejaculate, epididymis, testis), a successful ICSI-ET procedure can result in similar clinical and neonatal outcomes, such as clinical pregnancy rate, live birth rate, abortion rate, neonatal birth weight and sex ratio of singleton pregnancies.
