description: As baleias são os maiores mamíferos do planeta, do passado e do presente, e ninguém dúvida que são criaturas extraordinárias. Quando uma baleia morre, algo igualmente extraordinário começa. Uma carcaça de baleia que chegue ao fundo oceânico vai servir de base a um diverso e complexo ecossistema. Mais de 400 espécies já foram identificadas, 30 das quais endémicas. Visitas regulares com submersíveis permitiram identificar uma sucessão de três fases de colonização caracterizadas por comunidades biológicas diferentes. Enquanto a primeira fase é dominada por necrófagos e a segunda por oportunistas, na terceira fase os altos níveis de compostos de enxofre e gorduras resultantes da decomposição da matéria orgânica permitem o desenvolvimento de comunidades quimiossintéticas únicas, mas ao mesmo tempo relacionadas com as comunidades características das fontes hidrotermais e das fontes frias. A intensa actividade baleeira dos séculos XIX e XX que dizimou populações inteiras de baleias pode igualmente ter tido um forte impacto nestas comunidades que, segundo o registo fóssil, existem há pelo menos 30 milhões de anos.

description: The aim of this study is to find out what conscripts think about compulsory military service, if their attitude changes during the service period, and if so, what the possible influencers are. The theory part of this article describes the relation between values and attitudes and how they are connected to ratings and human behaviour. In addition, the article looks at how changeable attitudes (and through that also the ratings) can be and what might affect this. Furthermore, the article includes a summary from previous studies about the attitudes of Estonians towards compulsory military service. The quantitative research method is used in the analysis part of this article. Two main questions were analysed: “In your opinion, how important is conscription for the security of Estonia?” and “In your opinion, how important is conscription for your personal development?” Based on those two questions, a total identifier was used to analyze changes in attitude. The results show that the attitudes of conscripts towards the importance of military service can change during the time they serve. For approximately one third of the soldiers who entered compulsory military service in 2016, the attitudes about the importance of conscription changed during the service period. There is no certain propensity in which direction the attitudes changed. It is remarkable that during the analysis it was impossible to distinguish any social groups whose attitudes about military service were more likely to change. It was found that compared to conscripts whose mother tongue is Russian, Estonian native speakers are more likely to think that military service is necessary throughout their whole time in service. It can also be pointed out that the attitude of those who entered conscription voluntarily changes only somewhat, meaning that after the Soldier’s Basic Course (SBC) they still think that conscription is important for their personal development or for national security. The results also showed that the change of attitudes towards the importance of compulsory military service can be better explained through defence-themed attitudes that the soldiers had developed after completing the SBC. The main tendency is that the more positively conscripts regard defence-themed attitudes (importance of foreign missions and the level of skills needed to protect Estonia in case of foreign aggression), the more likely it is that they do not find compulsory military service to be unnecessary. Important influencers are also the factors of coming to the military service with a positive attitude and being willing to serve even if it was not mandatory. A positive attitude correlates with a better attitude towards the importance of compulsory military service.

description: This paper introduces a novel alignment and calibration method for high frequency ultrasound (HFUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) 1D transducers. 2D images are constructed by means of translation of the transducers using a linear motor stage. Physical alignment of the transducers is needed in order to capture images of the same crosssectional plane, and calibration is needed to determine the relative coordinates of the images, including the image skew. A dual wedge-tri step phantom is created for both alignment and calibration. This phantom includes two symmetrical wedges and three steps that provide the user with visual feedback on how well the scan plane is aligned with the midplane of the phantom. The phantom image consists of five line segments, each of which corresponds to one of the wedges or steps. The slopes and positions of the lines are extracted from the image and compared with the phantom model. The scan plane parameters are found so that the difference between the model and extracted features is minimized. The main advantage of this phantom is that only one frame is required to determine translations, orientations, and skew parameters of the scan plane with respect to the phantom. Experimental results with ocular imaging show the ability to achieve alignment based on this method and its potential for medical applications.

description: The development of the electric power industry at the present stage throughout the world is characterized by an increased rate of introduction of power plants operating on renewable energy resources, primarily solar and wind power plants. The unevenness of the load schedules of electricity consumers is increasing. To reliably provide consumers with high-quality electricity at minimal economic costs, electricity storage devices are being introduced into such energy systems. Under such conditions, the tasks of optimal planning of short-term modes of electric power systems, which consists of determining for each time interval the optimal values of all regulated parameters, in particular loads, through the use of the regulating capabilities of storage devices, become much more complicated. At present, despite the existence of several models and algorithms for optimization of the energy storage devices as part of the power system, the issues of determining the optimal operating modes of power systems in a short-term cycle through the use of their regulatory capabilities based on the use of rigorous mathematical models and algorithms have not been sufficiently studied. This paper presents a mathematical model for the problem of optimization of the modes of a power electric system containing adjustable energy storage devices and the algorithm for aligning consumer load schedules. The results of a study of the effectiveness of the proposed optimization model and algorithm using the example of aligning the daily load schedules of the Central part of the electric networks of JSC “National Power Networks of the Republic of Uzbekistan” are given.

description: The electrolysis of water to produce green hydrogen fuel is pivotal for the transition to renewable energy sources. Predominantly, this process utilizes low-temperature alkaline or proton exchange membrane electrolysers, which require high-purity water, posing challenges for large-scale adoption due to freshwater scarcity. Seawater, comprising 96.5% of Earth's water reserves, presents an almost inexhaustible alternative. However, its complex composition, including various salts and organic compounds, complicates direct electrolysis. Specialized anodes and highly efficient electrocatalysts are essential to prevent corrosion and counteract undesirable chlorine evolution reactions. This study investigates the use of low-saline water from the Baltic Sea for hydrogen production via osmotic desalination and alkaline electrolysis using Life Cycle Assessment, focusing on economic, social, and environmental impacts. Findings indicate that electrodialysis is more energy-efficient compared to reverse osmosis, exhibiting lower environmental impacts across most categories, including global warming potential, ecotoxicity, and eutrophication. Reverse osmosis showed higher impacts, especially in fine particulate matter production and water-related parameters. Despite higher operational costs, integrating seawater desalination presents a promising method for renewable energy storage and hydrogen production. Optimizing electrodialysis could enhance its economic feasibility and performance, supporting sustainable green hydrogen production. Our research underscores the significant potential of seawater desalination coupled with electrolysis for sustainable energy transitions, particularly for regions with abundant seawater access but limited freshwater resources.

description: This paper presents a Military Legacy Model that is designed to assist conscripts in forming a military identity during their training period, and later help them quickly re-establish their military attributes after they have been transferred to the Armed Forces’ reserves. This model can also be used to better understand the motivational dynamics of Estonian reservists who must regularly move back and forth between the civilian life and reservist duty. In order to create this framework we modified the Model of Transition in Veterans (hereinafter: MoTiVe) proposed by Cooper et al. 2017 and 2018.1 Both the MoTiVe and our Military Legacy Model are based on Bourdieu’s theoretical concepts of field, habitus and the conversion of capitals. Our hope is to foster further research into the Estonian Defence Forces (hereinafter: EDF) reserves in particular, as well as conscripts and reservists in other countries in general.

description: Currently, the evaluation of the sound quality of a product or a sound path is usually based on objective physical measurements. Despite this, in real a quality of the sound path is evaluated by human hearing. The listener evaluates the sound quality of the product or sound path using his auditory system, and not a set of physical measuring devices. In this situation, psychoacoustics is a scientific field that allows bridging the gap between physical or objective and subjective assessments. In a number of previous psychoacoustic experiments, some relations were established between the physical representation of the result and the audible perceptual sensation correlated with it. Assessing the quality of audio signals is an important consideration in making high quality sound product and sound paths and various methods have been developed. In this article is review interconnection of electrical indicators of sound quality and subjective psychoacoustic criteria assessment. It is proposed to apply the psychoacoustic assessment criteria because not all qualitative indicators can be measured using objective methods.

description: In the context of rapidly evolving industrial environments, optimizing decision-making for quality control is crucial. This paper develops a Markov Decision Process (MDP) model aimed at enhancing automated quality control and reducing scrap in manufacturing systems, addressing challenges posed by complex and uncertain decision scenarios. The study focuses on improving the sub-key element of quality-accuracy within a Performance Measurement System (PMS) framework, specifically targeting scrap minimization and cost reduction. The research employs a mathematical model that integrates vector random processes, each representing critical factors such as machine condition, operator behaviour, tools, and materials. These factors are modeled as individual one-dimensional MDPs, which are combined to create a multi-dimensional MDP capable of monitoring and offering optimal policy for minimizing scrap rates and costs. The research methodology leverages advanced data analytics, statistical modeling, and real-time monitoring to accurately estimate transition probabilities and optimize policies. Different MDP models and methods are explored to enhance adaptability and iterative learning, allowing for optimal policy refinement over time. The proposed model is validated through its application to a real-world printing enterprise identified critical element, demonstrating a reduction in scrap and costs. This improvement underscores the model’s effectiveness in practical settings, offering structured, subsystem-specific interventions that enhance manufacturing quality control. The results hold both theoretical and practical significance. Theoretically, the study contributes to the body of knowledge on MDP modeling for industrial quality control, providing a scalable approach that addresses complex interdependencies and decision-making under uncertainty. Practically, the model offers a robust tool for optimizing manufacturing processes, supported by modern IT systems, integration of advanced technologies, predictive maintenance, and data-driven decision-making. This integrated approach enables manufacturers to proactively identify and mitigate quality issues, enhancing operational efficiency, reducing waste, and driving continuous improvement in industrial systems.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: Ultrasound radio-frequency (RF) time series analysis provides an effective tissue characterization method to differentiate between healthy and cancerous prostate tissues. In this paper, an analytical model is presented that partially describes the variations in tissue acoustic properties that accompany ultrasound RF time series acquisition procedures. These ultrasound-induced effects, which depend on tissue mechanical and thermophysical properties, are hypothesized to be among the major contributors to the tissue typing capabilities of the RF time series analysis. The model is used to derive two tissue characterization features. The two features are used with a support vector machine classifier to characterize three animal tissue types: chicken breast, bovine liver, and bovine steak. Accuracy values as high as 90% are achieved when the proposed features are employed to differentiate these tissue types. The proposed model may provide a framework to optimize the ultrasound RF time series analysis for future clinical procedures. Copyright 2011 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Year: 2020

description: Since the economic crisis in 2008, European youth unemployment rates have been persistently high at around 20% on average. The majority of European countries spends significant resources each year on active labor market programs (ALMP) with the aim of improving the integration prospects of struggling youths. Among the most common programs used are training courses, job search assistance and monitoring, subsidized employment, and public work programs. For policy makers, it is of upmost importance to know which of these programs work and which are able to achieve the intended goals – may it be the integration into the first labor market or further education. Based on a detailed assessment of the particularities of the youth labor market situation, we discuss the pros and cons of different ALMP types. We then provide a comprehensive survey of the recent evidence on the effectiveness of these ALMP for youth in Europe, highlighting factors that seem to promote or impede their effectiveness in practice. Overall, the findings with respect to employment outcomes are only partly promising. While job search assistance (with and without monitoring) results in overwhelmingly positive effects, we find more mixed effects for training and wage subsidies, whereas the effects for public work programs are clearly negative. The evidence on the impact of ALMP on furthering education participation as well as employment quality is scarce, requiring additional research and allowing only limited conclusions so far.

description: The enormous species richness of flowering plants is at least partly due to floral diversification driven by interactions between plants and their animal pollinators [1, 2]. Specific pollinator attraction relies on visual and olfactory floral cues [3-5]; floral scent can not only attract pollinators but also attract or repel herbivorous insects [6-8]. However, despite its central role for plant-animal interactions, the genetic control of floral scent production and its evolutionary modification remain incompletely understood [9-13]. Benzenoids are an important class of floral scent compounds that are generated from phenylalanine via several enzymatic pathways [14-17]. Here we address the genetic basis of the loss of floral scent associated with the transition from outbreeding to selfing in the genus Capsella. While the outbreeding C. grandiflora emits benzaldehyde as a major constituent of its floral scent, this has been lost in the selfing C. rubella. We identify the Capsella CNL1 gene encoding cinnamate: CoA ligase as responsible for this variation. Population genetic analysis indicates that CNL1 has been inactivated twice independently in C. rubella via different novel mutations to its coding sequence. Together with a recent study in Petunia [18], this identifies cinnamate: CoA ligase as an evolutionary hotspot for mutations causing the loss of benzenoid scent compounds in association with a shift in the reproductive strategy of Capsella from pollination by insects to self-fertilization.

description: Turkey has been severely affected by many natural hazards, in particular earthquakes and floods. Although there is a large body of literature on earthquake hazards and risks in Turkey, comparatively little is known about flood hazards and risks. Therefore, with this study it is aimed to investigate flood patterns, societal and economic impacts of flood hazards in Turkey, as well as providing a comparative overview of the temporal and spatial distribution of flood losses by analysing EM-DAT (Emergency Events Database) and TABB (Turkey Disaster Data Base) databases on disaster losses throughout Turkey for the years 1960-2014. The comparison of these two databases reveals big mismatches of the flood data, e.g. the reported number of events, number of affected people and economic loss, differ dramatically. With this paper, it has been explored reasons for mismatches. Biases and fallacies for loss data in the two databases has been discussed as well. Since loss data collection is gaining more and more attention, e.g. in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (SFDRR), the study could offer a base-work for developing guidelines and procedures on how to standardize loss databases and implement across the other hazard events, as well as substantial insights for flood risk mitigation and adaptation studies in Turkey and will offer valuable insights for other (European) countries.

Single camera closed-form real-time needle trajectory tracking for ultrasound

description: In ultrasound-guided needle insertion procedures, tracking of the needle relative to the ultrasound image is beneficial for needle trajectory planning and guidance. A single camera closed-form method is proposed for automatic real-time trajectory tracking with a low-cost camera mounted directly on the ultrasound transducer. The camera is calibrated to the ultrasound image coordinates. By mounting the camera on the transducer, issues of visual obstruction are reduced and accuracy of tracking is increased compared to camera-tracking systems with a fixed case. Compared to previous work with stereo cameras, a single camera further reduces cost, complexity and size, but requires a needle with known markings. The proposed solution uses the depth markings etched on many common needles (e.g. epidural needle). A fully automatic image processing method has been developed for real-time identification of the needle trajectory using a novel closed-form solution based on three identified markings and the camera's intrinsic calibration parameters. The trajectory of the needle relative to the ultrasound image is calculated and displayed. Validation compares the calculated intersection of the needle trajectory to the ultrasound image with the depiction of the actual needle intersection in the image. The overall error is 3.0 ± 2.6 mm for a low-cost 640×480 pixel USB camera. Copyright 2011 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

description: É frequente os alunos conseguirem com facilidade resolver os exercícios dos manuais escolares. No entanto, consideram mais difícil a resolução de problemas retirados e formulados a partir de situações reais do quotidiano, pois possuem dificuldades em transpor, mobilizar e utilizar o conhecimento construído em situações novas e reais. Tal situação resulta de um ensino ainda muito mecanizado e suportado em avaliações memorísticas que não permite que os alunos desenvolvam competências essências. O ensino orientado para a Aprendizagem Baseada na Resolução de Problemas (ABRP) parte da formulação de problemas a partir de situações reais e complexas, as quais dirigem o processo de ensino e promovem uma aprendizagem que auxilia os alunos (em trabalho grupal) a mobilizarem saberes. O trabalho de investigação realizado teve como principal objectivo construir e avaliar um conjunto de materiais didácticos e respectivas planificações de acordo com os princípios teóricos da ABRP, cruzando com o preconizado pelo currículo para as Ciências Naturais no 3.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e os desafios actuais da Educação em Ciência perante a Sociedade e o Ambiente. Os materiais construídos abrangeram a temática Sustentabilidade na Terra, leccionada no 3.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Estes foram avaliados por alunos do 8.º ano de escolaridade e por professores, considerados especialistas nas temáticas abrangidas no trabalho. Das avaliações efectuadas resultaram alguns indicadores sobre a potencialidade da utilização da ABRP nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem e à revisão e modificação dos materiais construídos, aperfeiçoando-os.

description: The Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK) is a long-established, software package used for image analysis, visualization, and image-guided surgery applications. This package is a collection of C++ libraries, that can pose usability problems for users without C++ programming experience. To bridge the gap between the programming complexities and the required learning curve of ITK, we present a higher-level visual programming environment that represents ITK methods and classes by wrapping them into "blocks" within MATLAB's visual programming environment, Simulink. These blocks can be connected to form workflows: visual schematics that closely represent the structure of a C++ program. Due to the heavily C++ templated nature of ITK, direct interaction between Simulink and ITK requires an intermediary to convert their respective datatypes and allow intercommunication. We have developed a "Virtual Block" that serves as an intermediate wrapper around the ITK class and is responsible for resolving the templated datatypes used by ITK to native types used by Simulink. Presently, the wrapping procedure for SimITK is semi-automatic in that it requires XML descriptions of the ITK classes as a starting point, as this data is used to create all other necessary integration files. The generation of all source code and object code from the XML is done automatically by a CMake build script that yields Simulink blocks as the final result. An example 3D segmentation workflow using cranial-CT data as well as a 3D MR-to-CT registration workflow are presented as a proof-of-concept.
