THE WAR IN UKRAINE IS DISRUPTING THE GEOPOLITICAL ORDER BETWEEN RUSSIA AND NATO

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

About twenty years ago, Robert Kagan, Victoria Nuland's husband, published the book "Europeans act like they're from Venus, while Americans act like they're from Mars." The personification is more than clear. Venus is the symbol of love and peace, Mars is the god of war. The European dimension of NATO had a historical handicap, due to the "doctrine of agreement" according to which the Europeans "did not need to worry about interventions within the borders of the Alliance because the Americans have always been there". They designed and financed the defense of Europe. Europe successfully sheltered behind the shadow of Uncle Sam". Gradually geopolitics evolved especially after the NATO air campaign against FR Yugoslavia in 1999. Two decades later with the war in Ukraine, the world returned to the student war with serious threats of nuclear conflict. And Putin's Russia showed that it is from Mars. This encouraged NATO and EU allies to strengthen their ranks. The war in Ukraine cured NATO of apoplexy as diagnosed by Macron. The alliance also became attractive to its most indifferent allies Sweden and Finland. On the map of Europe, a big turn happened due to the NATO membership of the two neutral Scandinavian countries, Finland and Sweden. From a geopolitical point of view, Russia opposed the membership of Finland and Sweden in the Alliance, because the border with NATO was extended by two hundred kilometers. It can also be considered the biggest upheaval in Europe since 1989. On the other hand, Russia, with its invasion of Ukraine, violated the provisions of both international law and political declarations that protected the immutability of borders. "The whole project of the EU, European association and cooperation relies on such norms. The war happened and changed the perspectives of all countries, both those that are in NATO and those that have not been. The entire Western world stood on the side of the victims, on the side of the defense of the order that had maintained the stability of Europe since 1945." The war in Ukraine has disrupted the world geopolitical order. Globalization has been put in danger by the establishment of the largest sanctions against Russia. The alliance has consolidated and is looking for new allies and partners. On the other hand, Russia is also reorienting itself towards new allies, primarily China, N. Korea, Iran, the BRICS countries
Deep neural network approach to predict actions from videos

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Deep convolutional neural networks have lately dominated scene understanding tasks, particularly those pertaining to still images. Recently, these networks have been adapted and employed for action recognition from videos but the improvements over traditional methods are not as drastic when compared to still images. This can be attributed to the lack of focus on modeling the inherent temporal dependency that exists between the frames of a video. In this work, we investigate the various approaches that have been proposed for this task and understand the importance of different aspects of the network such as the input pipeline, frame aggregation methods, loss functions etc. Moreover, we incorporate a Long Short Term Memory(LSTM) layer into some of these approaches in order to better model the temporal dependency between the frames. The addition of LSTM is alluring as it can model sequences of variable lengths unlike approaches based on just convolutions which require a uniform input structure. We also explore the importance of different input modalities. In still image classification, the only input stream is RGB images but for videos, one can also extract the dense optical flow between frames to highlight areas of major motion. Therefore, we run experiments on both these modalities and also find the best ways to fuse the scores from both of them. These ideas are validated through multiple experiments using different architectures on the UCF-101 benchmark dataset, attaining results that are competitive with various state-of-the-art approaches. Through these modifications, we gained a max performance improvement of 6% on one of the architectures, increased the efficiency of another by over 25% and validated many more ideas which offer comparable performance.
Two cases of right atrial myxoma in redo patients. A mere coincidence?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We describe two cases of right atrial myxoma in redo patients who had previously undergone to coronary artery by-pass grafting (CABGs) and mitral valve replacement respectively. Both of patients experienced effort dyspnea and were assessed by trans-thoracic echocardiography, revealing the right atrial masses. They were operated on for myxoma resection and postoperative course was uneventful. Our report deals with the interesting topic of the location of benign masses that are usually more common in the left atrium. Should we hypothesize that the right atrial manipulation during the previous surgery induces the onset of the right atrial mass? It is an interesting matter to debate.
The Boundary Layer Natural Convection Regime in a Rectangular Cavity With Uniform Heat Flux From the Side

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

This paper summarizes an analytical and numerical study of buoyancy-driven convection in a rectangular cavity filled with fluid. The new feature of this study, suggested by architectural applications of the convection phenomenon, is the presence of constant heat flux heating and cooling along the vertical side walls. It is shown analytically that in the boundary layer regime the boundary layer thickness must be constant (independent of altitude), that the core must be motionless and linearly stratified, and that the vertical walls temperature must vary linearly with the same gradient as the core temperature. The Nusselt number (q″/ΔT)H/k was found to be equal to 0.34 (H/L)1/9 Ra2/9, where H/L is the height/length ratio and Ra = gβq″ H4/ (kαν). The second part of the paper presents a numerical study of the same phenomenon: the numerical results agree very well with the analytical predictions made in the first part of the paper.
PROMOTION OF CRITICAL THINKING IN DANCE CLASSES FOR YOUTH

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Nowadays, very topical is the ability to communicate, cooperate, make decisions, become co-responsible and think critically. Critical thinking plays a crucial role, as its primary function is the ability to choose between alternatives and make decisions. One must be able to justify one's decisions and beliefs. Critical thinking is just as necessary as reading and writing, and is one of the components of today's curriculum. Critical thinking is based on intellectual criteria. It is the clarity, validity, accuracy and honesty of thinking. Dance classes are a popular leisure activity for young people. Youth are best in contact with a teacher who is a friend, mentor and someone to resemble. If a dance teacher include exercises in his class to promote critical thinking it gives the opportunity to unite dancers, gain dancers who are aware of their abilities and who work to improve their weaknesses. The purpose of this article is to explore the promotion of critical thinking among young people in dance classes and it will be more successful if a system of exercises appropriate to the age of the youth is purposefully designed and implemented. In the practice of dance pedagogy, the promotion of critical thinking in dance classes is a novelty. In the study participated dancers aged 16-25. The research consists of several stages: development of an exercise system to promote critical thinking; introduction of exercises in dance classes in the theater dance studio “Savanna”; measuring exercise efficiency; analysis of results; making recommendations. In total, five tests were used in the study: "Conclusion", "Recognition of Assumptions", "Deduction", "Interpretation", "Evaluation of Arguments".
Outcomes of Absence Control Initiatives

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Although considerable research has examined various antecedents of employee absence, relatively little research has examined the effects of organizational absence control initiatives on different types of absence, or how differences in employee perceptions of these initiatives may influence employee absences. Through the lens of organizational justice, the authors address this gap in the literature by tracking absenteeism in two manufacturing plants that implemented, at different times, absence control initiatives designed to increase the salience of absence outcomes via explicit rewards and punishments. Results showed that the policy changes had the intended effect of reducing casual absence, but also the unintended effect of increasing Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) absence. The results for disability-based absence were mixed. Individual employee perceptions of both the salience of absence outcomes and the fairness of the absence policies showed differential effects on casual and FMLA absence. These perceptions interacted such that employees who perceived the policies to be more salient and unfair had the highest instances of FMLA absence. Implications for absence and justice research and practice are discussed.
A Primary-Secondary Approach to Mitigate the Effects of Force Fight Between Parallel Redundant Electromechanical Actuators

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

<p>In this research, a primary-secondary control technique is developed for parallel redundant electromechanical actuators (EMAs) that are employed in the actuation of a primary flight control surface. EMAs must be operated in active/active mode, which leads to force fight and has prevented EMAs from being used efficiently for flight control. Under the proposed control strategy, one of the EMAs is designated as the primary and is position controlled. The remaining EMA is treated as the secondary and is torque controlled with the joint torque of the primary as the commanded input. The proposed control technique avoids simultaneous position control and bypasses the position sensor of the secondary channel, which is effective in reducing force fight as position measurement error contributes greatly to force fight. The developed primary-secondary control technique has been theoretically analyzed and numerically simulated, demonstrating a substantial decrease for dynamic and static force fight.</p>
ARGUS study - clinical and bacteriological outcomes dataset

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs) is usually empiric and is based on local antimicrobial resistance data. These data, however, are scarce in low-resource settings. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of antibiotic treatment on clinical and bacteriological outcomes in patients presenting with UTI symptoms to primary care in Harare. Methods: This cohort study enrolled participants presenting with UTI symptoms to 10 primary healthcare clinics in Harare between July 2019 and July 2020. A questionnaire was administered and a urine sample was collected for culture. If the urine culture showed growth of ≥105 colony forming units/mL of a uropathogen, a follow up visit at 7-21 days was conducted. Results: The analysis included 168 participants with a median age of 33.6 years (IQR 25.1-51.4) and of whom 131/168 (78.0%) were female. Effective treatment was taken by 54/168 (32.1%) participants. The urine culture was negative at follow up in 41/54 (75.9%) of participants who took appropriate treatment and in 33/114 (28.9%, p<0.001) of those who did not. Symptoms had improved or resolved in 52/54 (96.3%) of those on appropriate treatment and in 71/114 (62.3%, p<0.001) of those without. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that effective treatment leads to symptom resolution and bacterial clearance in people presenting with UTIs to primary care. Although UTIs are not life-threatening and can resolve without treatment, they do impact on quality of life, highlighting the need for optimised treatment recommendations.
Expressive language recovery or improved communicative skills: Effects of p.a.c.e. therapy on aphasics' referential communication and story retelling

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Eight chronic aphasics received a P.A.C.E. therapy programme. All patients received aphasia testing as pre/post therapy evaluation. In order to assess their communicative abilities in face to face setting, referential communication and story retelling tasks were also given. Results showed that aphasics' referential communication abilities improved whereas standard aphasia parameters did not. Furthermore, when story retellings were submitted to naive listeners, those produced after treatment were judged to be more informative. It is suggested that P.A.C.E. therapy can improve communicative skills even in those aphasic patients who do not show language improvement.
Landslides hazards in the location of the Stebnyk potassium salt mine

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Summary The history of potassium salt extraction near Stebnyk is given, catastrophic events at the enterprise are mentioned, which affected both the whole basin of the Dnister River up to the Black Sea, and directly on the area of “Polymineral” location. It is shown that as a result of the inflow of fresh water into the chamber of the salt mine, the pillars began to collapse and the threat of subsidence of the day surface over the workings became real. Subsequently, the surveying service of “Polymineral” recorded dozens of failures that threatened communications and housing in nearby settlements. The information on the largest chasm of the surface, which occurred on the night of September 30, 2017 between Stebnyk and the village of Modrychi, Drohobych district, is presented. In combination with other methods, seismic observations were used to study the area of the salt mine location. Measures for the implementation of the seismic monitoring system of the “Polymineral” location area, its topology, research results are presented. The possible influence of the local earthquake on the formation of the mentioned chasm is considered. It is proposed to take into account the data of seismic observations when forecasting dangerous geodynamic phenomena in the salt mines of the Stebnyk deposit.
The mediating role of appearance-related schema in the pattern of eating attitudes and behaviour in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Deteriorating metabolic control in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) has been closely linked with: the emergence of eating disorders, sub-clinical disordered eating, and treatment non-adherence - namely the use of insulin omission, a unique form of calorie purging behaviour, often referred to as diabulimia. Co-morbidity of T1DM and disordered eating/treatment non-adherence is known to compromise metabolic control, and expedite short and long-term detrimental health outcomes. \nTo most effectively mitigate adverse health outcomes and improve the metabolic control of adolescents with T1DM, a greater understanding of these behaviours, along with precipitating factors, is warranted to permit effective screening and prevention strategies. \nA systematic literature review was conducted to determine what is currently known about diabulimia, the use of insulin manipulation as a weight management strategy. Fourteen studies were reviewed, all of which found evidence of insulin manipulation for weight control, with rates varying between 1%-37%. The results of the studies were discussed in relation to the methodologies used, aetiological factors and the health consequences of this behaviour. Body dissatisfaction was found to have an aetiological role in the use of insulin manipulation, but was often not addressed rigorously, a finding which was addressed in the research paper. \nA questionnaire survey of 113 adolescents with and without T1DM was conducted to investigate the role of body image (appearance-related schema) in the pattern of eating attitudes and behaviour. Adolescents living with T1DM were not found to experience greater difficulties with eating or body-image than adolescents living without T1DM. Although no between-group differences were found, 7.7% of adolescents living with T1DM achieved clinical caseness on a measure of eating attitudes and behaviour. Appearance-related schemas were not found to predict disordered eating. Possible explanations, methodological difficulties and implications for future research and clinical practice were discussed.
A Laplace Principle for Hermitian Brownian Motion and Free Entropy I: the convex functional case

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

This paper is part of a series aiming at proving that the $\limsup$ and $\liminf$ variants of Voiculescu's free entropy coincide. This is based on a Laplace principle (implying a large deviation principle) for hermitian brownian motion on $[0,1]$. In the current paper, we show that microstates free entropy $χ(X_1,...,X_m)$ and non-microstate free entropy $χ^*(X_1,...,X_m)$ coincide for self-adjoint variables $(X_1,...,X_m)$ satisfying a Schwinger-Dyson equation for subquadratic, bounded below, strictly convex potentials with Lipschitz derivative sufficiently approximable by non-commutative polynomials. Our results are based on Dupuis-Ellis weak convergence approach to large deviations where one shows a Laplace principle in obtaining a stochastic control formulation for exponential functionals. In the non-commutative context, ultrapoduct analysis replaces weak-convergence of the stochastic control problems.

Urbanization in the Pacific: environmental change, vulnerability and human security

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The world is in the midst of a substantial urban transition, but the impacts of this on the environment and human societies are not fully understood. Very little attention has been paid to urbanization processes in developing countries with smaller populations, despite the evident problems associated with urbanization. There are both biophysical and social vulnerabilities associated with urbanization in the South Pacific and these vulnerabilities affect human security. The biophysical vulnerabilities include the fragile environments of the island nations, limited land resources, shortages of basic resources, and the risks associated with global warming. The ability to respond to these problems is constrained by social vulnerabilities, notably weak economies, difficulties associated with land ownership, and institutional limitations. There is a need for institutional reform, improved planning, better urban resource management, and greater regional cooperation, if Pacific island nations are to respond effectively to rapid urbanization and global change.
