In intestinal transplantation, while other centers have shown that liver-including allografts have significantly more favorable graft survival and graft loss-due-to chronic rejection (CHR) rates, our center has consistently shown that modified multivisceral (MMV) and full multivisceral (MV) allografts have significantly more favorable acute cellular rejection (ACR) and severe ACR rates compared with isolated intestine (I) and liver-intestine (LI) allografts. In the attempt to resolve this apparent discrepancy, we performed stepwise Cox multivariable analyses of the hazard rates of developing graft loss-due-to acute rejection (AR) vs. CHR among 350 consecutive intestinal transplants at our center with long-term follow-up (median: 13.5 years post-transplant). Observed percentages developing graft loss-due-to AR and CHR were 14.3% (50/350) and 6.6% (23/350), respectively. Only one baseline variable was selected into the Cox model indicating a significantly lower hazard rate of developing graft loss-due-to AR: Transplant Type MMV or MV (p &lt; 0.000001). Conversely, two baseline variables were selected into the Cox model indicating a significantly lower hazard rate of developing graft loss-due-to CHR: Received Donor Liver (LI or MV) (p = 0.002) and Received Induction (p = 0.007). In summary, while MMV/MV transplants (who receive extensive native lymphoid tissue removal) offered protection against graft loss-due-to AR, liver-containing grafts appeared to offer protection against graft loss-due-to CHR, supporting the results of other studies.

In digital era, development of information technology is unavoidable, almost all sectors have utilized development of information technology to facilitate all human activities, including health agencies. One form of health agency is a clinic. Sometimes in clinics, there is still way to take the queue number manually, thus making queue so long. Based on these problems, queuing system is needed to solve all queuing problems. In this study, used Single Channel Single Phase where Single Channel is service system that has one service, while Single Phase is only having one service station so after receiving service, it can immediately exit queue system. Based on results of the study, conclusions were obtained: The system built has been successfully implemented Single Channel Single Phase method where this success parameter can be seen from system that provides information about the queue that is running so that the waiting time for patients is more efficient. The characteristics of queuing that occur in Mono Valensi clinic with one stage of service show that average queue in system is ± 2 people, average queue is ± 4 people, average waiting time in system is ± 63 minutes, average waiting time in queue is ± 108 minutes.
DETERMINATION OF THE ELASTIC MODULUS OF CONCRETE IN REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS BY THE RATE OF VIBRATION DAMPING
Authors: Abashin E. 
Published: September 2023

The article shows a method for determining the modulus of elasticity of concrete by the measured dynamic characteristics of the tested structure – the damping coefficient of vibrations of reinforced concrete unstressed beams operating in the first stage of the stress-strain state.
We have proposed to use this characteristic of reducing the amplitude of vibrations, which takes into account the loss of kinetic energy in a reinforced concrete beam. It is assumed that a change in the modulus of elasticity of concrete in the considered range will significantly affect the rate of damping of vibrations, since with an increase in the modulus of elasticity of concrete, the elastic properties of the reinforced concrete element prevail over the plastic properties. When conducting experiments, one should strive for the same support conditions and introduce an equal level of energy into the oscillatory system. In this case, the energy loss in the reinforced concrete beam, expressed by the value of the vibration damping coefficient, will allow to determine the modulus of elasticity of concrete with a higher degree of probability in comparison with the practiced mechanical or ultrasonic methods.
We have developed a new method for determining the elastic modulus of concrete, based on the empirical determination of the vibration-damping coefficient of reference structures of a given type and size and the construction of a graphical dependence of the vibration damping coefficient on the elastic modulus of concrete. We have obtained greater accuracy in determining the modulus of elasticity of concrete in comparison with the practiced mechanical or ultrasonic methods.
THE PRINCIPLE OF IMPROVING THE VISUAL IMAGE OF ARCHITECTURAL OBJECTS IN SMALL TOWNS IN CENTRAL RUSSIA
Authors: Gribkov A. 
Published: September 2023

Visual environment - the space of the visible surrounding urban (architectural) environment. The visual image is formed by everything that surrounds the person, ranging from buildings and structures to architectural elements of the facade. The image may have a different psycho-emotional influence on the person, negative or positive. At the moment of being in the space of the architectural environment, the presence of aggressive and homogeneous fields are causes of deterioration of the emotional state, person's mood. Aggressive and homogeneous fields are one of the types of visual pollution of the architectural environment. Aggressive fields are characterized by the presence of repetitive identical objects in the field of view of the human eye (for example, a series of equally arranged windows on the facade of a building). Homogeneous fields are one of the types of negative visible environment, characterized by the predominance of homogeneous surfaces of glass, concrete or metal (for instance, homogeneous facades without windows of residential or public buildings). The article presents a material on the development of the principle of improving the visual appearance of architectural objects of small towns in Central Russia. By the concept of "Architectural objects" is meant - buildings, structures, architectural elements of the facades of various objects, small architectural forms.
The result of the material is the development of a hypothetical model to improve the visual image of architectural objects. The model reflects the system of the above principle and the apparatus controlling the activities in the field of video ecology, consisting of state and municipal authorities.

ASSENTAMENTOS DE REFORMA AGRÁRIA NO CEARÁ: ESPAÇOS DE RESISTÊNCIA DO CAMPESINATO
Authors: Diniz Aldiva Sales 
Published: September 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os Assentamentos de Reforma Agrária, frutos da luta pela terra e como estes se constituem como território da resistência dos camponeses. A luta pela terra não é somente uma forma de expor a situação de exclusão do camponês, mas um modo de resistência aos processos de expropriação e exclusão do acesso à terra. É evidente que não basta somente a conquista da terra, mas os camponeses podem usá-la como base de uma luta que venha desarticular a acumulação capitalista, refletida na própria concentração fundiária. A conquista da terra, na instalação do assentamento, significa a continuidade da luta pois, com a sua conquista as lutas não terminam, desdobram-se em outras. Podemos afirmar que os assentamentos são espaços da resistência, onde se organiza o território da expansão da agricultura camponesa, baseada no trabalho da família. Neles, estão sendo semeadas a utopia camponesa, o acesso à terra, a liberdade de trabalhar, bem como, a necessidade da reprodução da família, que se resume na conquista da terra. Isso é uma particularidade do camponês enquanto identidade: para ele não se pensa a terra sem se pensar a família e o trabalho. O trabalho, a família e a terra são valores que remetem a uma moral e, ao mesmo tempo, são categorias indissociáveis.

Published: September 2023

<p>This paper presents a novel feature-line points tracking algorithm designed to be highly efficient and accurate for real-time monocular line-based SfM applications in man-made environments. The proposed algorithm exploits feature-line points proprieties to detect and extract long line segments and ensure their temporal evolution in the subsequent frames while handling line segment detection and tracking issues such as noisy images, over-segmentation, edge thresholding, false detections, occlusions, and ambiguous matches. To fulfill the real-time and embeddability constraints of our proposed method, we adopt the hardware/software co-design to achieve a suitable implementation with a scalable FPGA-based embedded heterogeneous architecture. Based on this, experimental results show the portability of the line segment detector block of this proposed algorithm on scalable FPGA-based embedded heterogeneous architectures, improving the acceleration of the sequential execution by about 98\%, whereas a 53\% improvement with GPU-based heterogeneous architectures. For qualitative and quantitative assessment, we exhibit extensive benchmarking with other state-of-the-art algorithms regarding feature-line segment extraction and tracking, showing the efficiency of the proposed algorithm and ensuring very hopeful real-time performance using two common datasets. </p>

Distributed Observer-Based Dynamic Event-Triggered Control of Multi-Agent Systems with Adjustable Inter-Event Time
Authors: Wang Zeyuan , Chadli Mohammed 
Published: September 2023

<p>This paper proposes a dynamic event-triggered control strategy for the leader-following multi-agent control under directed topology. A synthesis approach combining distributed controllers and observers design is developed under a dynamic sampling scheme, and only local information is required for each agent to implement the proposed method. The control protocol incorporates model-based estimation and clock-like auxiliary dynamic variables to prolong the inter-event time as long as possible. Sufficient conditions for leader-following consensus control are established by linear matrix inequalities, and an explicit inter-event time is given to enable flexible tuning. Due to the carefully selected Lyapunov function, the proposed method exhibits significant advantages over the dynamic event-triggered control methods described in the existing literature. Compared to the existing static event-triggered strategy, the proposed approach significantly reduces the utilization of communication resources while preserving asymptotic convergence to the state consensus. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results are demonstrated by comparative simulations.</p>
