The Influence of the Pandemic on Decisions Occuring During the Last Few Years
Authors: Jarrett Jeffrey E. 
Published: February 2023

The notion that present value of cash flows is often improperly estimated in financial models concerning capital improvements and abandonments is a fundamental problem in decision analysis in management and associated decisions and affects estimation of and valuation of intellectual property. Previous studies indicate the usefulness of estimation theory in financial in financial accounting. During the Covid Pandemic of the past few years decisions by governmental and health authorities in the United States and the World were often dictatated during the Pandemic by short-term political influences which included disinformation by some who wished to rake advantage of the misuse of the health Pandemic for political gain and/or financial power and short-term financial gain. Previously this was show to be true as the media with the aid of self-promotional activities by many who were attempting this kind of gain. Furthermore the Pandemic in the United States and other nations is receding in drfamatic ways and many restrictions of the Endemic era are nolonger in use. This was the result of Mask restrictions and increasing but not universal vaccine programs many states and nations.
The Smell of Internationality. Towards a Sensual Approach to International Relations
Authors: Gałganek Andrzej 
Published: February 2023

The tenet of this article is the conceptualisation of social multiplicity, rather than politics, being the deepest code of internationality as a property of human existence. As a consequence of that understanding of internationality, International Relations (IR) extends beyond dealing with the traditional concepts of politics and economy. All the manifestations of human activity arise in a context of social multiplicity, in which individuals are aware of paths of development separate from their own, and in which ideas, technologies and resources are constantly taken from one social environment and combined with others, in order to produce new and original results. From this perspective, IR concerns nearly everything: multiplicity and identity; multiplicity and sexuality; the interactive life of languages; structures of world literature; the unequal yet connected development of music; international relations of food and cooking; social strategies of dealing with difference, and internationality experienced through the senses.
This article illustrates how olfaction is present in international relations through power relations, olfactory others, the issues of migration and asylum, olfactory travelogy and alternative cultures of smell. The analysis confirms that sensual internationality may show a new aspect in understanding relations between politically organised societies. Sensuality – sensory experience – may be a foundation for a hitherto neglected way of understanding internationality. Sensual IR enables the discipline to return to the everyday life of internationality. It helps us to experience internationality and to dispose of the dominant belief in IR that internationality cannot be seen, or that we do not know where its “inter” is located or what it is.

Abstract
Vegetable oils are a crucial source of raw materials for many industries. In order to meet the rising demand for oil on global scale, it has become essential to investigate underutilized plant oilseeds. Hura crepitans seeds are one of the underused plant oilseeds from which oil can be produced via solvent-based extraction. For the purpose of predicting the oil yield from Hura crepitans seeds, the extraction process was modelled using a nonlinear autoregressive exogenous neural network (NARX-NN). The input variables to the model are seed/solvent ratio, extraction temperature and extraction time, while oil yield is the response output variable. NARX-NN model is based on 200 data samples, and model architecture comprises of 3 inputs, 1 hidden layer (with 15 neurons) and 1 output with 2 delay elements. The performance evaluation was carried out to examine the accuracy of the developed model in predicting oil yield from Hura crepitans using different statistical indices. The overall correlation coefficient, R (0.80829), mean square error, MSE (0.0120), root mean square error, RMSE (0.1080) and standard prediction error, SEP (0.1666) show that NARX-NN model can accurately be used for the prediction oil yield from Hura crepitans seeds.
New inertial forward–backward algorithm for convex minimization with applications
Authors: Kankam Kunrada , Cholamjiak Watcharaporn , Cholamjiak Prasit 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
In this work, we present a new proximal gradient algorithm based on Tseng’s extragradient method and an inertial technique to solve the convex minimization problem in real Hilbert spaces. Using the stepsize rules, the selection of the Lipschitz constant of the gradient of functions is avoided. We then prove the weak convergence theorem and present the numerical experiments for image recovery. The comparative results show that the proposed algorithm has better efficiency than other methods.

Authors: Kişi Ömer , Gürdal Mehmet , Çakal Burak 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The aim of this article is to investigate the neutrosophic Nörlund ℐ-statistically convergent sequence space. We present some neutrosophic normed spaces (NNSs) in Nörlund convergent spaces. In addition, we also examine various topological and algebraic properties of these convergent sequence spaces. Theorems are proved in light of the NNS theory approach. Results are obtained via different perspectives and new examples are produced to justify the counterparts and show the existence of the introduced notions. The results established in this research work supply an exhaustive foundation in NNS and make a significant contribution to the theoretical development of NNS in the literature. The original aspect of this study is the first wholly up-to-date and thorough examination of the features and implementation of neutrosophic Nörlund ℐ-statistically convergent sequences in NNS, based upon the standard definition.

Abstract
Strolling is a complex activity that requires the synchronization of the brain, anxiety, and muscles, as well as rhythmic movement of the lower limbs. Gait may be abnormal if coordination is disrupted. As a result, exoskeletons should be used to treat it effectively. The connection and other systems contained in the exoskeletons could be used to mimic the behavior of the human lower leg. These mechanisms are created utilizing complex traditional methods. This study proposes a new gait-inspired method based on a genetic algorithm (GA) for synthesizing a four-bar mechanism for exoskeletons. For each phase of the gait, the trajectory is calculated and merged using optimization algorithms. Each phase of the trajectory passes through 10 precision points, for an entirety of 20 precision points in 1 gait cycle. For the problem under consideration, it is discovered that the GA outperforms other literature techniques. Finally, the proposed design for a lower limb exoskeleton is depicted as a solid model. Furthermore, the generated link-age accurately tracks all the transition points, and the simulation of the planned linkage for one gait cycle has been illustrated using a stick diagram.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
In this article, physical and numerical simulation of the flow field in flexible thin slab caster funnel mold at high casting speed is carried out with a five-hole submerged entry nozzle (FHSEN), and characteristics of the flow field on funnel mold liquid level under different casting speeds (4, 5, and 6 m·min−1) and different submerged depths (130, 160, and 190 mm) are studied by comparing with the new submerged entry nozzle (NSEN) designed. Physical simulation is based on the funnel mold prototype. Numerical simulation is carried out based on FLUENT software, and industrial experiments of two kinds of submerged entry nozzle are also carried out. The results show that in the case of both physical and numerical simulation, the maximum surface velocity of the FHSEN funnel mold is 0.58 m·s−1, and the funnel mold liquid level is prone to slag entrapment. The NSEN funnel mold’ maximum surface velocity is 0.37 m·s−1. Compared with the FHSEN, the NSEN funnel mold’ maximum surface velocity decreases by 0.21 m·s−1, and funnel mold surface velocity decreases significantly. Finally, the accuracy of simulation results is verified by industrial tests, and it is also show that NSEN can greatly reduce funnel mold surface velocity and probability of slag entrapment.
Quotational nicknames in German at the interface between syntax, punctuation, and pragmatics
Authors: Finkbeiner Rita 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The paper is concerned with a particular nickname construction in German in which a linguistic expression is inserted between the given name and surname and enclosed by quotation marks (Johanna „Hansi“ Angermeier) or parentheses (Ursula (Uschi) Vollmuth). The apparent interchangeability of quotation marks and parentheses in the construction raises the question of the exact meaning of the (variants of the) construction and what the respective punctuation marks contribute to this meaning. The aim of the paper is to develop a comprehensive account of the variation by unfolding the complex interplay between syntax, punctuation, and pragmatics in the meaning constitution of the construction. Based on a close linguistic analysis of examples from a corpus of death notices and supplemented by recent graphematic and pragmatic accounts on punctuation marks, the view is developed that the choice of quotation marks and parentheses is governed by two different, independent processes which partly overlap in the construction. While both quotation marks and parentheses play a role in marking an underlying parenthetical structure, quotation marks are richer in meaning, triggering an additional context shift effect and further conversational implicatures. The analysis lends support to the view that parentheses are boundary signals operating on syntactic structure, while quotation marks are boundary signals operating on the meaning of linguistic expressions.
Endwall-pulsed blowing of different excitation models to control flow separation on a highly-loaded compressor cascade
Authors: Zhang Hongxin , Ye Jianian , Jin Bo , Xu Chi , Huang Guoping 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Endwall-pulsed blowing (EPB) is studied for three different excitation waveforms to improve the aerodynamic performance of highly loaded compressors. Some important excitation parameters include the excitation frequency and momentum coefficient, which were analyzed in detail. The results of the EPB are compared with the endwall steady blowing (ESB) case. For EPBs with the three excitation waveforms (Waveforms sine, triangle and trapezoid), excitation frequencies that are equal to an integral multiple of the natural frequency of the vortex shedding are optimal and provide better performances than the ESB with the same time-mean momentum coefficient. Moreover, the EPBs of the three excitation waveforms have significant differences in their aerodynamic performance improvements. The optimal case is achieved by the EPB with Waveform triangle and provides a total pressure loss coefficient with a reduction of 25.64%.

Published: February 2023

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a common and chronic neurological disease characterized by an irresistible and overwhelming urge to move the legs. In recent years, a growing body of clinical trials has demonstrated that -traditional Chinese herbal medicine Shaoyao Gancao Tang (SG-Tang) may improve RLS. However, a critical examination of the available evidence is warranted. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SG-Tang in the treatment of RLS. The protocol of this study was registered and published at International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; CRD42020173520). Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on the efficacy and safety of SG-Tang in the treatment of RLS were identified by searching the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Chinese Biological Medicine Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and VIP Information Database from inception to February 14, 2022. The primary outcome measurements were the total effective rate, and the secondary outcome measurements included the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group Rating Scale for Severity of Restless Legs Syndrome (IRLS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the incidence of adverse events. The Review Manager 5.3 software was utilized to conduct quantitative synthesis according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Six eligible RCTs were included in this meta-analysis. Compared to conventional medications, SG-Tang intervention showed significant improvements in the total effective rate (risk ratio [RR] = 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] (1.09,1.36), P = 0.004), the IRLS (mean difference [MD] = −4.74, 95% CI (−8.65, −0.83), P = 0.02), and the PSQI (MD = −2.54, 95% CI (−4.34, −0.74), P = 0.006) with less incidence of adverse events (RR = 0.21, 95% CI (0.09, 0.31), P = 0.0005). SG-Tang may be effective and safe as a complementary and alternative treatment to relieve RLS. However, the results need to be interpreted with caution because of limited data and the undesirable methodological quality of the included studies. More well-designed, large-scale, high-quality, and multi-center RCTs are required to be performed for further verification.

Published: February 2023

Devido a pandemia da Covid-19 e a situação sanitária em que se encontra o país, houve uma ressignificação do papel do Poder Judiciário e na forma da resolução dos conflitos, adotando as tecnologias necessárias para o seu cumprimento. O projeto de extensão “A crise da Jurisdição e a Cultura de Paz: a mediação como meio democrático, autônomo e consensuado de tratar os conflitos” desenvolvido pela Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul junto a Defensoria Pública, abrange os munícipios de Gramado Xavier, Herveiras, Passo do Sobrado, Santa Cruz do Sul e Sinimbu, realizando atendimentos virtuais. As mediações acontecem pela plataforma do GoogleMeet sendo resguardado o direito da confidencialidade e a imparcialidade dos mediadores. Em 2021 foram realizados 47 atendimentos, sendo 66 pessoas atendidas. A taxa de acordos celebrados foram de 59%, 25% das mediações não resultaram em acordo e em 16% dos casos os mediandos não compareceram à sessão. De forma on-line, a mediação ultrapassou a esfera da comarca de Santa Cruz do Sul, atingindo outros locais, munícipios e estados e permitindo que as pessoas participassem sem precisar se deslocar. O foco principal da mediação é que as partes possam restabelecer o diálogo, visando não só o acordo. Desse modo, é inegável que a mediação on-line foi um grande avanço no acesso à justiça em tempos pandêmicos.

O artigo objetiva conhecer as narrativas de profissionais de saúde que atuam no Centro de Atenção Psicossocial da Infância e Adolescência acerca da internação involuntária, assim como a relação da família no processo de cuidado e da judicialização da assistência em saúde mental. O estudo é de caráter descritivo e exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa. Aplicou-se uma entrevista semiestruturada com dois servidores, com questões referentes à rotina do serviço, perfil do usuário e participação da família. A análise dos dados produzidos foi dada a partir da Análise temática de Braun e Clarke. Os achados durante as entrevistas proporcionaram a criação de 3 eixos temáticos para discutir a questão: 1) Perfil dos pacientes internados, em que foi possível identificar que geralmente os usuários indicados para a internação são adolescentes infratores do gênero masculino; 2) Internação involuntária: punição ou salvação? em que buscamos compreender as condições que são aplicadas para tal prática e; 3) Judicialização como recurso de adesão das famílias e dos serviços de saúde, uma incursão nas falas para investigar a dualidade das ações judiciais em processos/tratamento por uso de drogas. Considerações finais: Observou-se que é necessário um alinhamento dos setores da saúde e do judiciário, priorizando igualmente a saúde e a segurança dos adolescentes. Ainda, o estabelecimento de uma rede de cuidados integral, que vise a reintegração do mesmo na sociedade, seguindo os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde.

K. Chesterton con Francisco de Asís a través de un poema del ensayista inglés y otro del poeta modernista Rubén Darío. El ensayo está más cerca de la literatura que de la crítica literaria académica, aunque cuenta con una amplia investigación bibliográfica.
Nuestra excéntrica y heterogénea modernidad
Authors: Barbero Jesús Martín 
Published: February 2023

A partir de la figura del malestar en la modernidad, el artículo presenta una reflexión acerca de la modernidad colombiana y propone para ella el término de tardomodernidad. Sostiene, por un lado, que la crisis de ésta se refleja en la incapacidad de los intelectuales para proponer un proyecto político que incluya la cultura y la comunicación como campo primordial de batalla política; y por el otro, que para pensar este fenómeno desde Suramérica se requiere abandonar la lógica según la cual las sociedades latinoamericanas son exteriores al proceso de la modernidad y solo manifiestan una deformación y degradación de la verdadera. También plantea que un motivo del desencuentro de las ciencias sociales con el debate cultural y sobre la modernidad en Colombia es el aislamiento del país en relación con la mediación intelectual producida por el pensamiento latinoamericano, y que las políticas culturales deben empezar a reconocer el papel decisivo de las industrias audiovisuales en la cultura cotidiana de las mayorías en Latinoamérica. Finalmente, se hace referencia a los aportes de algunos autores colombianos que han tenido en cuenta los demás estudios latinoamericanos y han abordado el tema desde enfoques más enriquecedores.
Dinámica cultural, comunicación y democracia
Authors: Bonilla Vélez Jorge Iván 
Published: February 2023

En los tiempos que habitamos, la realidad no sólo está cambiando sino que también estalla ante nuestros ojos desbordando los antiguos mapas cognitivos de interpretación y las tradicionales formas de acción colectiva. Asistímos a un descentramiento en los modos convencionales de representación social, política y ciudadana que no deja de producimos desazón. Vivimos tiempos de una complejidad cultural que, a menudo, raya con la perplejidad intelectual y la aceleración social. Los paisajes que nos eran familiares se han movido y hoy explotan frente a ellos los desengaños con las promesas no cumplidas de la democracia y las desilusiones ante los ofrecimientos inconclusos de una razón formal, instrumentalizadora y excluyente, que solía señalar, con impecable precisión, el camino verdadero para acceder al conocimiento, al futuro y a la redención. La palabra clave parece ser la crisis, y su conjugación el desencanto; a esto se refiere la descentración.
Constitución y reglamentación
Authors: Pérez Toro William Fredy 
Published: February 2023

En este artículo se intenta mostrar la perturbación del sistema jurídico, pero sobre todo describir su patología; es decir, que hay entre el momento constitución y el momento de la realidad reglamentaria y jurisdiccional. Que debe ser considerado antes de la crítica -ya manida pero no suficientemente injustificada-, a la no coincidencia del texto fundamental con el legal y los hechos. Y se trata de mostrar finalmente como, en el caso del derecho penal, parece que estuviese cada vez más lejano un momento constitucional declarado del cual partir, y el punto de referencia valorativo sistemático frente al cual leer sus contenidos.
La imagen social de la policía

Published: February 2023

La imagen que de la Policía se ha concebido en Medellín, se refleja especialmente en las opiniones que sobre esta emite la sociedad de manera espontanea y permanente. Los juicios sobre la seguridad y la inseguridad en la ciudad, sobre la presencia, acción y proyección de la policía, así como sobre la relación de la institución con la ley, permiten precisar qué tipo de imagen tiene la sociedad de la institución del Estado con la cual tiene potencialmente mayor relación. En este sentido, un estudio de opinión muestra tendencias que son importantes para apreciar la forma que adopta la relación policía-sociedad, pero desde otra perspectiva: la que surge de la sociedad. No se trata, por supuesto, de reducir un fenómeno a términos cuantitativos ni de conceder a las estadísticas la exclusiva capacidad explicativa de una realidad compleja e irreductible. Se trata de contar con un nivel de análisis adicional proporcionado por las opiniones de la población, diferenciadas según estratos socio-económicos, y de reconocer en estas opiniones las expectativas que la sociedad genera respecto a la institución.
