Authors: Gießer Christian , Schmitt Johannes , Schmücker Vanessa , Eiler Tanja Joan , Braun Veit , Brück Rainer 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The integration of data gloves into Augmented Reality (AR) applications for medical training increases immersion and realism. By using devices with haptic feedback, better and more intuitive control can be achieved. This has implications for learning and exam preparation, but also enables new home-based learning and independence from physical models and presence. Smooth integration and connection of devices is essential for this purpose. This work aims to demonstrate native integration between an augmented reality headset, and a pair of data gloves. In the future, the use of AR and data gloves in medicine will continue to grow and technological advances will create even more realistic and immersive learning opportunities. The study will evaluate if the SkillsLab+ AR application and haptic feedback provide value to medical training and if they can be used effectively in medical education. The implementation shows promise, and the technology may have a future in other areas as well.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
We report the optimized wafer-scale fabrication of microporous membranes for applications in the biomedical field such as cell filtration. Existing similar devices can mostly not be integrated on CMOS circuits or mass fabricated. Both is enabled here by the exclusive use of scalable and low temperature microsystems technology methods on silicon wafers. The successfully manufactured devices are characterized with regard to the feasibility of an integrated clogging detection or captured cell counter. The results from electrochemical measurements across the chips match the calculations from a corresponding theoretical model well, verifying the described concept. Further electrical functionalities may thus be integrated into the micromembrane device in the future, equipping it for new applications and allowing a more efficient solution for existing tasks of similar devices.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Real time physiological signals like Electrodermal Activity (EDA), measured using wearable devices, could be used for emotion recognition, thus enabling new paradigms of health monitoring, including mental health. This paper analyses EDA signals, a measure of sympathetic nervous system activity, which plays a significant role in emotional regulation. A public database was used to categorize emotions based on valence and arousal values. The Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) was used to obtain the scalograms of the signals. The scalograms were then fed into the deep learning models, VGG16 and ResNet50, to recognize emotions. VGG16 gives a Pearson Linear Correlation Coefficient (PLCC) value of 0.7199 for valence and 0.7593 for arousal, with Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values of 0.7653 and 1.0284, respectively. ResNet50 performs better, with a PLCC value of 0.7763 for valence and 0.8207 for arousal, and lower MAE and RMSE values of 0.7158 and 0.8712, respectively. This study proposes an adapted ResNet50 model for emotion recognition which could be integrated into wearable devices as a prospective feature.

Published: September 2023

AbstractMany important aspects of biological knowledge at the molecular level can be represented bypathways. Through their analysis, we gain mechanistic insights and interpret lists of interesting genes from experiments (usually omics and functional genomic experiments). As a result, pathways play a central role in the development of bioinformatics methods and tools for computing predictions from known molecular-level mechanisms. Qualitative as well as quantitative knowledge about pathways can be effectively represented throughbiochemical networkslinking thebiochemical reactionsand the compounds (e.g., proteins) occurring in the considered pathways. So, repositories providing biochemical networks for known pathways play a central role in bioinformatics and insystems biology. Here we focus on Reactome, a free, comprehensive, and widely used repository for biochemical networks and pathways. In this paper, we: (1) introduce a tool StARGate-X (STatistical Analysis of theReactomemulti-GrAph ThroughnEtworkX) to carry out an automated analysis of the connectivity properties of Reactomebiochemical reaction network and of its biological hierarchy (i.e., cell compartments, namely, the closed parts within the cytosol, usually surrounded by a membrane); the code is freely available athttps://github.com/marinoandrea/stargate-x; (2) show the effectiveness of our tool by providing an analysis of the Reactomenetwork, in terms of centrality measures, with respect to in- and out-degree. As an example of usage of StARGate-X, we provide a detailed automated analysis of the Reactomenetwork, in terms of centrality measures. We focus both on the subgraphs induced by single compartments and on the graph whose nodes are the strongly connected components. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first freely available tool that enables automatic analysis of the large biochemical network within Reactomethrough easy-to-use APIs (Application Programming Interfaces).

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Factors like rising work costs and the imminent transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industries are driving the rapid development of the industrial robotics market. In this study, by analyzing the structure of the transport arm and China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor and performing mathematical modeling, a feasible solution for the robot can be obtained using the dynamic ant colony optimization algorithm and grayscale values. However, for multiple degree of freedom robots, due to a large number of joints, the pure use of joint angle restrictions cannot avoid their own mutual interference. The design of the transport arm robot’s own collision algorithm is shown, which focuses on each linkage as a rod wrapped by a cylinder. The experiment shows that the relationship between the integrated center of mass and the whole machine center of mass can get the action area of the whole machine center of mass of the robot, according to which the relationship between the radius of the catch circle and time of the projection area of the whole machine center of mass of the robot in the horizontal plane can be obtained. The maximum outer circle radius

Authors: Moto Edward , Rubanza Chrispinus D. K. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The study was conducted to assess the phenotypic diversity within the indigenous chicken population in Tanzania, the central zone, preciously Dodoma and Singida regions. Six districts from two regions were purposively selected based on their potential for chicken population. A total of 176 adult local chickens of both sexes were used to estimate the body weight, linear body measurements and visual assessments of phenotypic traits. The results indicated that the predominant comb type was single (90.9%) followed by pea comb (6.8%). The dominant plumage colour was a combination of different colours (66%), followed by black (14%). Yellow shank colour (59.1%) was dominant over other colours. The estimated overall mean values of body weight, body length, chest circumference, and shank length were 1.80 kg, 39.3, 31.3, and 8.8 cm, respectively. Males were significantly heavier than females (2.2 vs 1.3 kg; p < 0.05). The values of most linear body measurement traits were significantly different (p < 0.01). The chest circumference was not significantly different across the studied districts. The present finding suggests that indigenous chickens in the study area possess unique genetic potentials that would be used for further breeding programs for optimum utilisation of these genetic resources by the rural communities.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Vanadium dioxide (VO2) has attracted extensive attention due to the specific metal-insulator phase transition as well as the wide device applications. The practical performance of VO2-based device strongly depends on the quality of VO2, since the higher quality of VO2 film always shows much more pronounced phase transition behavior. Thus, the preparation of high quality VO2 film is essential and highly desirable. In this work, we have prepared high-quality VO2 film on SiC substrate by water vapor oxidation with graphene (G) buffer layer, which showed excellent phase transformation properties. Compared with the VO2/SiC sample without G buffer layer, the VO2/G/SiC films show the resistance changes up to four-orders of magnitude across the phase transition boundary and superior optoelectronic properties, which indicates the significant role of G layer in the film growth process. The current study not only provides an economical and feasible method for VO2/G/SiC thin film preparation with high quality, but also supply some clues for the application of G-based VO2 devices in the future.

Published: September 2023

Zusammenfassung
Der vorliegende Artikel analysiert für einen der größten deutschen Einzelhändler anhand von Webrezensionen den Effekt eines Partnerschafts-Franchising-Modells auf die Verbraucherzufriedenheit und die Unterschiede dieser Effekte vor und während der COVID-19-Pandemie. Das Besondere am Franchise-Modell dieser Kette ist, dass sich der Franchisegeber finanziell an einem Partnerschaftsmodell beteiligt und die Franchisenehmer wiederrum erhebliche unternehmerische Freiheiten genießen. Das Ergebnis dieser Studie zeigt, dass Verbraucher mit Franchisenehmern wesentlich zufriedener sind als mit zentral geführten Geschäften. Die Zufriedenheit der Verbraucher ging zurück und der Vorsprung der Franchisenehmer nahm während der Pandemie ab.
Genossenschaften mit vorgetäuschter Mitgliederförderung (Fake-Genossenschaften)
Authors: Fiedler Mathias 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Genossenschaften haben, anders als andere Rechtsformen, einen besonderen gesetzlich vorgegebenen Zweck – sie betreiben einen gemeinschaftlichen Geschäftsbetrieb, den die Mitglieder nutzen sollen. Dieser Zweck – nämlich die Nutzungsorientierung – ist der Kern der genossenschaftlichen Idee. Häufiger wird nun darüber berichtet, dass die Rechtsform der eingetragenen Genossenschaft missbraucht wird. Dabei geht es vorrangig um Steuersparmodelle1, sei es zur Einsparung von Gewerbe- oder Körperschaftssteuer2 oder der Erbschaftssteuer3. Genannt werden diese Genossenschaften meist „Familiengenossenschaften“, weil es darum geht, dass Familien ihr Vermögen (Immobilien / Unternehmen) in eine Genossenschaft einbringen. Diesen Begriff wollen wir nicht verwenden, weil es schon länger Familiengenossenschaften gibt, die vollkommen im Einklang mit dem Genossenschaftsgesetz agieren4, wir verwenden nachfolgend den Begriff „Fake-Genossenschaften“, weil sie die Voraussetzungen für eine Genossenschaft unseres Erachtens nicht erfüllen.
Etyczny wymiar globalizacji w kontekście nauczania Jana Pawła II
Authors: Hotloś Agnieszka 
Published: September 2023

Tematyka związana z procesem globalizacji jest niezwykle ważna we współczesnym świecie. Niniejsze opracowanie wpisuje się w nurt licznych rozważań i publikacji dotyczących aktualnych przemian dokonujących się w skali całego globu. Ambiwalentny charakter globalizacji stawia szereg pytań o kształt przyszłej cywilizacji. Wśród tych pytań na pierwszy plan wysuwają się pytania dotyczące etyki i jej znaczenia w procesie globalizacji. Pomimo iż procesy globalizacji niosą ze sobą nowe wyzwania, to założenia etyczne, niezmienne w każdej epoce, pozostają aktualne także w obecnym czasie. Stąd, pośród zmienności świata, istnieje konieczność afirmacji człowieka, wskazania na jego godność osobową, a w konsekwencji kształtowania życia społecznego w oparciu o zasady solidarność i sprawiedliwości, dopełnione miłością społeczną. Wszelkie próby redukowania człowieka do roli środka produkcji, elementu globalnego rynku sprowadzą proces globalizacji do zjawiska niszczącego to, co tak naprawdę ludzkie. Globalizacja pozbawiona odniesień etycznych prowadzi do wykluczenia jednostek i całych narodów, do nienawiści, pogardy dla słabszych, wzajemnej nieufności, konfliktów. W dobie kryzysu aksjologicznego etyka staje się jedną z najważniejszych dziedzin, które mogą zapewnić porządek społeczny. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest odpowiedź na pytanie: Jak ukierunkować proces globalizacji, aby uwzględniał normy etyczne i tym samym służył dobru jednostek i społeczeństw? Opracowanie skoncentrowane jest kolejno wokół globalizacji i jej podstawowych wymiarów, etycznych dylematów globalizacji, a w kluczowej części etycznych podstaw tego procesu.
A Witchcraft-related cases in India during the Outbreak of Covid 19 Pandemic
Authors: Spanò Igor 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In India the belief in witches is a phenomenon that is linked to specific elements both of Hindu cults, whose devotional expressions and folkloric elements are rooted in the Vedic texts, and the belief systems of some indigenous communities. Indeed, although influenced by the expressions of the Hindu faith, these groups have retained specific characteristics, in which magical elements like the relationship with evil powers, from which the belief in witchcraft practices derives, are paramount. However, a study of witch-hunting episodes must also consider the social dimension in which they occur, as scholars working on this subject over the last decades did. Most witch hunts occur within closed social systems, based on patriarchy (or which have undergone patriarchalization processes in recent decades) and affected by Hinduization and tribalization. Finally, the analysis of beliefs in witchcraft helps to unveil the power relations that underlie these beliefs. On the one hand, this paper aims to reflect on the religious roots of the belief in witches, without neglecting the possible interpretations just mentioned above; on the other hand, it aims to present an initial assessment of the incidence of the phenomenon in 2020, at a particularly dramatic historical moment marked by the outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic. The data presented are partial but indicative as they have been collected through daily monitoring of the main Indian newspapers in English and some national and local newspapers in Hindi.

Published: September 2023

Background: Aquaculture is one of the most rapidly expanding food production sectors. Due to intensification, declining water quality parameters negatively impact fish production and the surrounding environment. Thus, it is essential to maintain optimum water quality parameters and aquatic ecosystems for sustainable fish production. This study aims to synthesize nanoparticles (NPs) and evaluate their efficiency against ammonia in cultured fish tanks under diverse conditions. Methods: Bacillus megaterium from the soil sample was isolated and identified. Iron oxide NPs were synthesized using Bacillus megaterium collected from soil samples and characterized by DLS-zeta potential, UV-vis, XRD, FTIR and TEM analysis. Next, synthesized NPs were evaluated under ex-situ and in-situ conditions to determine their efficacy in removing ammonia from Common carp, Cyprinus carpio culture tanks. Results: B. megaterium was isolated, identified, and 16S rRNA gene PCR-amplified sequences confirm the identification of B megaterium. DLS-zeta potential, UV-vis, XRD, FTIR and TEM analysis revealed the quality of synthesized NPs. B. megaterium from the soil sample was isolated and identified. The mean zeta potential of the biosynthesized NPs was between -4.65 to -6.45 mV and had an average size of 5 nm. The concentration of ammonia in aerated tanks treated with iron NPs reduced to less than 0.03 mg/dL from 0.3 mg/L. Also, fish mortality in these tanks was significantly controlled with the application of NPs. The application of NPs considerably reduced fish mortality in these fish tanks. Iron oxide NPs from B. megaterium can produce high-quality NPs that are efficient in removing ammonia from fish culture tanks. Further, exploratory studies are necessary to determine the efficacy of iron oxide NPs on aquatic organisms cultured in different environments.

Spaces of constant curvatere, the Liouville equation and contractions of Lie algebras
Authors: Kostyakov I. , Kuratov V. 
Published: September 2023

The Liouville equation is equivalent to the two-dimensional
Laplace equation and is reduced to it by the Lie-Bäcklund
transformation, which, from the point of view of group theory,
can be interpreted from using the Inönü-Wigner contraction.
We analyze the construction of solutions to the Liouville
equation to represent zero curvature using the contraction of
the Lie algebra sl(2) and use nilpotent generators for this.

The 'Grandmother School' community is a place for the elderly to get education and actualize it. Elderly people are one of the most vulnerable groups in society and tend to experience discrimination, stereotypes, and social exclusion due to their aging condition. The presence of this community has an impact on increasing the capacity of elderly members of the community. Opportunities to actualize and re-learn that are accommodated by the community enable them to fight against various social constructions that undermine their potential. The research method used is qualitative research. Data collection is done through observation, interviews, and documentation. After the data is collected, it is presented descriptively and analyzed based on the data analysis method described by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014) to draw conclusions. The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the capacity building of the elderly through the 'Grandmother School' community in Sumberlesung Village, Ledokombo District, Jember Regency.
