Deep learning-assisted Hubble parameter analysis

We turn our attention on evaluating the most recent Hubble parameter data measured via the differential evolution of cosmic-chronometers from a deep learning perspective. To achieve this goal, we start our investigation by introducing the selected theoretical setup and compiling the most recent statistical data obtained in cosmology experiments. Then we implement a tuned version of the long-short term memory (LSTM) architecture and run it to predict possible values of the Cosmic Hubble parameter for different red-shift states. Since we observe a good correlation between the observed and predicted datasets of the Hubble parameter, we conclude that the machine learning approaches can play important roles in the future cosmology investigations.

절충교역 관점에서 본 한국의 방위산업 및 무기체계 국제거래 현황과 과제

South Korea has established the base for self-reliant defense and grown into an emerging defense exporter in 40 years since it first introduced a offset trade system in 1983, and aims to become the world's fourth-largest defense exporter by 2027. The purpose of this study is to draw implications for the development of Korea's defense industry and the expansion of defense exports from the perspective of offset trade. To this end, (1) the development process and status of Korea's defense industry were examined based on recent statistical data, and (2) the status of Korea's overseas purchase of weapons systems and defense exports were examined. Also, (3) after examining the current status of Korea's offset trade system, implications for the development of defense industry and the expansion of defense exports were drawn. In import offset trade, it is necessary to re-apply offset trade obligation to overseas purchase through FMS from the U.S.A., settle down the banking system, expand the offset value multiplier for SMEs, and strengthen the industrial cooperation quota system. In export offset trade, it needs to establish a cooperation system between government ministries by a strong control tower, form a consortium of government-defense companies for a proactive response system, introduce a mandatory reporting system for export offset trade, expand the policy support for defense export such as trade finance, and introduce a value offset system (SWAP).

Addressing Gender Disparity in Public Universities of Malaysia: Challenges and Achievements

Ensuring equal access to affordable higher education is a fundamental target of the Sustainable Development Goals SDGs to be achieved by 2030. Malaysia has committed to this target and introduced effective policies to accomplish the gaol as early as possible. This paper aimed to trace the effort made by Malaysian government in achieving gender parity. The paper used the most recent statistical data released by related higher education institutions. This coupled with the critical review and deep analysis of the documents and reports on higher education published in and out of Malaysia. The paper also employed both Gender Parity Index (GPI) and Gender Gap Global Index GGGI to measure gender parity. The findings showed that Malaysia has not only made efforts, but also achieved gender parity practically in public universities. The female gross enrolment ratio has jumped from only 10.7% in the 1950s to around (48%) of today. Despite this positive remark, gender stereotype is likely to continue taking other shapes and forms and still a room left for improvement.

Evaluation of the safety of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy by investigating the perioperative indicators.

In recent years, open nephron sparing partial nephrectomy (OPN) has been gradually applied and generally accepted. Recent statistical data show that PN not only can safely and effectively preserve the functional nephron, but also has fewer complications, low local recurrence rate and no significant difference in long-term survival rate compared with nephrectomy/radical nephrectomy, which has gradually become a routine treatment for small renal cell carcinoma. Therefore, how to maximize the protection of postoperative residual renal function (RRF) and reduce the risk of CKD while achieving the ideal local and overall tumor control effect is the key to the treatment of renal cancer, and is also the focus of attention of urologists and nephrologists. To evaluate the safety of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN) by investigating the perioperative indicators and postoperative follow-up. A total of 40 hospitalized patients in our hospital from December 2019 to December 2021 were selected and followed up for a long time. Patients with renal tumors less than 4cm in diameter and exogeneous or partial exogeneity were randomly divided into 2 groups. Patients in retroperitoneal laparoscopic group (n = 20) were treated with nephron sparing partial nephrectomy (0.5-1cm). Twenty patients underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN).The time of removal of drainage tube, drainage volume, time of feeding activity and postoperative hospital stay were recorded, and the safety of the operation was evaluated. nephron sparing partial nephrectomy is suitable for patients with localized renal carcinoma or benign tumor <4cm. RLPN can be applied to all indications of open nephron sparing partial nephrectomy (OPN), with good safety, and can preserve residual renal function to the greatest extent. The operative vascular occlusion time was controlled within 40 minutes, and the use of renal function protection measures during the operation was safe and controllable in reducing the prevention of warm ischemic kidney damage, with good safety. The renal tumor capsule with 0.5cm~1cm margin was complete by postoperative pathology. In the process of tumor resection and suture collection system in the RLPN group, we improved the previous operation of "resection before hemostasis" to "resection while hemostasis" and "knot-free suture" technology, which saved the operation time of intracavity suture knotting. Reduced cortical tear caused by vertical pull during knot tying. The combined effect of biological clip and hemostatic gauze can stimulate the granulation proliferation of renal cortical wound and accelerate the repair. With the combination of knot-free suture and renal segment vascular occlusion, hot ischemic kidney damage is reduced. In the RLPN group, there were no complications of urinary fistula and bleeding, and no abnormal changes in renal function during follow-up. The safety of RLPN group is worthy of affirmation. The perioperative safety and short-term postoperative renal function recovery of RLPN are good, and the overall safety of this operation is worthy of affirmation.

Citizenship and a Young Person: Expected and Unexpected Aspects

The discussion is focused on critical analysis of sources, with an emphasis on analysis of the contents of a concept of democracy and the role of citizens in relation to democracy, also the findings of international agencies on the state of democracy in Lithuania and the Ukraine are presented. Some of the empiric findings from an international survey, specifically the findings that responses of almost 400 respondents in Lithuania contributed to, are presented. Comparing, contrasting and synthesis of theoretical considerations, recent statistical data and the survey data enable identification of the important and vivid and sometimes at the margins of attention in young persons’ democracy perception. The contents of this perception may add new nuances to the picture of citizenship and democracy and, thus, expectations and role for an educator. The paper is based on the part of the data (from Lithuania, collected in 2019); though some comparisons with the data collected by the team members in other countries, including from the Ukraine, are also provided. Due to the recent realities of 2022, the part of results presented there (Zuzevičiūtė, Krzywosz-Rynkiewicz, 2022), are imbedded in a broader discussion on democracy and citizenship in this paper, when the changes in geopolitical arena, particularly in the light of the Ukrainian’s experiences, called for a reconsideration and re-evaluation of seemingly agreed upon dimensions, e.g., increasing importance of citizenship education and educator’s role.

The Resilience of Tourism Recreation Companies in a Pandemic Context: The Case of Canyoning in the Azores

The COVID-19 pandemic had an enormous impact on the tourism sector. Economies with a large weight of external tourism were especially affected, as was the case with the Azores region. This paper aims to analyse the level of this crisis and the resilience of tourism recreation companies specializing in canyoning in the Azores region, and whether these reactions led to more sustainable business models. The adopted methodology considered the analysis of recent statistical data on tourism and the available information on COVID-19 pandemic-related impacts. In parallel, questionnaires were applied to all tourism recreation companies in Portugal, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with all the canyoning providers in the Azores region. Results show that all companies survived the crisis, and some have made significant changes to their business models. Furthermore, some degree of success was observed in how services adapted to new demand characteristics, given the small size of most of these businesses and the specialization of their products.

The Biblical Dimension of Religious Instruction in Poland

The article concerns the issue of religious instruction in Polish state schools, especially its inspiration from the Bible as the primary source of the transmission of faith. When religious education classes were introduced in schools, a confessional model of their performance was adopted, thus leading to establishing closer ties with churches and religious associations as well as developing personal faith. The methodology of my research was based on analysing the current anchoring of the teaching of religion in the Polish state law and the guidelines of the Catholic Church. Next, the 2018 Core Curriculum for the Catechesis of the Catholic Church in Poland, related to the reform of the Polish education system and the completely new situation resulting from the liquidation of the junior high school stage of education, was used to show biblical guidelines for religious instruction and a set of methodological tools that guarantee its effectiveness. Confessional religion classes are currently organized in all government-run schools in Poland, and according to recent statistical data they significantly contribute to their better functioning. Consequently, there is a need to appeal for the continuation of religious education in schools and its modification based on multimedia technology, and there is a necessity to overcome the tendency to remove classes of religion from Polish public schools.

COMMUNICATION AND INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE

English as an international language is widely spoken by many people around the world. There are billions of people who use English as their first, second, and foreign language. This library research aims to discover the importance of English as an International Language (EIL) in global communication and broadcasting. Using recent statistical data, theory, and journals, the researcher seekS the information on the importance of EIL for communication and broadcasting field. Those instruments are fully described qualitatively. As the result, the researcher found that the relationship of English proficiency with the communication and broadcasting field is inevitable. Using English, obtaining, sharing, and spreading information, ideas, and opinions will be easier and reach many more people as the main purpose of communicating and broadcasting.

The text offers an explanation and interpretation of this morphology, and provides a diagnosis of the evolution and prospect of these bilateral relations.

Protracted precarities: The residential mobilities of Poles in Scotland

AbstractThe significant inflow of migrants to the United Kingdom following the Eastern EU Enlargement of 2004 is noteworthy due to its scale, intensity and geographic diversity. Recent statistical data suggest that these migrants exhibit spatial mobilities that reflect their disadvantage not just from the White British but also from other minority groups. Drawing on 83 interviews with Polish migrants living in Scotland, this paper illustrates the often‐persistent residential relocations experienced by this group postinternational migration and considers the drivers behind them. A key driver of this is the cycle of low paid and insecure employment that many migrants become entangled in, most frequently on arrival but often also longer term. These insights speak to wider debates about the scholarly dichotomy between international and internal migration and social inequalities in relation to labour market change and associated exposure to labour market and residential precarities.

Interregional inequality in environmental and economic development in the Russian Federation

Using the most popular measures of inequality and recent statistical data, the authors estimate interregional inequalities in Russia. The specific aim of this study is to identify inequality in well-being indicators, which were calculated using a multiplicative model based on the A. Sen extended function. Our calculations have revealed that there is a significant interregional differentiation in the social well-being level. The environmentally adjusted well-being exhibits higher levels of inequality than the indicator that does not take into account the environmental component. The paper shows that from 2008 to 2018 the gaps between Russian regions had in some cases increased.

RESEARCH OF INTERREGIONAL INEQUALITY: ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECT

Using the most popular measures of inequality and recent statistical data, the authors estimate interregional inequalities in Russia. The specific aim of this study is to identify inequality in well-being indicators, which were calculated using a multiplicative model based on the A. Sen extended function. It includes GRP per capita, share of personal incomes in GRP, cost of living index in the region, intra-regional income inequality and the integrated environmental index (it is defined as the arithmetic mean of the environmental indices calculated on the basis of the indicators: share of the negative water, air and soil tests). Using a multiplicative model, we evaluate the following social welfare indicators for Russian regions: indicator S (without the environmental component E); indicator SE (the environmental component E is defined as average of specific indices that take into account the air and water bodies state); indicator SEs (the environmental component E is defined as average of specific indices that take into account the air, water bodies and soil state). Our calculations have revealed that there is a significant interregional differentiation in the social well-being level. The environmentally adjusted well-being exhibits higher levels of inequality than the indicator that does not take into account the environmental component. The paper shows that from 2008 to 2019 the gaps between Russian regions had in some cases increased.

Uro-Scanner Aspects of Bladder Tumours at the Mali Hospital about 17 Cases

Introduction: Bladder tumours are frequent, have a poor prognosis and are the second most common genitourinary tumour in men. In Mali, recent statistical data on the prevalence of bladder tumours show a progression with 6.71% in 2006. The euro scanner is used in the diagnostic workup. The work was initiated in order to specify the role of the scanner in the diagnosis of these tumors. Patients and Methods: Prospective descriptive study was carried out in the medical imaging department of Mali Hospital from February to November 2018. Were included any patient with a bladder tumour on euro scanner. The patients had benefited from a preliminary preparation and a renal biological assessment in order to eliminate renal insufficiency. Our examinations were performed with a Siemens 16-slice scanner. These were axial slices performed without, with iodine injection from the pulmonary base to the pubic bones. Results: We had collected 17 patients out of 541 scans i.e. a frequency of 3.76%. The age range of 21 to 40 years was 58.8% with an average age of 25 years. The antecedents (ATCD) found were urinary bilharzia (47%) and smoking (17%). The clinic was dominated by haematuria. It was associated with a bladder mass (52%) and dysuria (23.52%). The CT scan showed a budding appearance, a size greater than 3 cm (82%), infiltration of peri-vesical fat (47.05%), and adenopathy (94%). Associated lesions were: utero-hydronephrosis (58.82%) and metastases (bone and liver in 11.76% of cases each). Conclusion: They are frequent and the history of urinary bilharziasis remains the main risk factor in endemic countries. CT scans are essential in the management of this disease. The diagnosis of certainty remains histology.

Modeling and forecasting of COVID-19 using a hybrid dynamic model based on SEIRD with ARIMA corrections.

The outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) attracted worldwide attention. It has posed a significant challenge for the global economies, especially the healthcare sector. Even with a robust healthcare system, countries were not prepared for the ramifications of COVID-19. Several statistical, dynamic, and mathematical models of the COVID-19 outbreak including the SEIR model have been developed to analyze the infection its transmission dynamics. The objective of this research is to use public data to study the properties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic to develop a dynamic hybrid model based on SEIRD and ascertainment rate with automatically selected parameters. The proposed model consists of two parts: the modified SEIRD dynamic model and ARIMA models. We fit SEIRD model parameters against historical values of infected, recovered and deceased population divided by ascertainment rate, which, in turn, is also a parameter of the model. Residuals of the first model for infected, recovered, and deceased populations are then corrected using ARIMA models. The model can analyze the input data in real-time and provide long- and short-term forecasts with confidence intervals. The model was tested and validated on the US COVID statistics dataset from the COVID Tracking Project. For validation, we use unseen recent statistical data. We use five common measures to estimate model prediction ability: MAE, MSE, MLSE, Normalized MAE, and Normalized MSE. We proved a great model ability to make accurate predictions of infected, recovered, and deceased patients. The output of the model can be used by the government, private sectors, and policymakers to reduce health and economic risks significantly improved consumer credit scoring.

Exploring the History of the First Social Enterprise Type: Social Co-Operation in the Italian Welfare System and its Replication in Europe, 1970s to 2011

“Social enterprise” is an umbrella term that covers a broad range of organisations, which differ to a greater or lesser extent in their visibility, scope and dissemination, in the various countries, but which share the explicit pursuit of social objectives, in the world of business and in an on-going manner, by directly producing goods and services that benefit disadvantaged persons and the community at large. The aim of this paper is to investigate one of the first, if not the very first, social enterprise in Europe, the Italian social co-operative. It begins with a survey of the economic and social environment of the 1970s giving rise to this form of co-operative. The paper then outlines its original features and the legislation adopted to regulate it: social co-operatives, in fact, were not part of the tradition of the co-operative movement and, therefore, were not recognised by the Italian law. This is followed by a statistical analysis, beginning with the first survey carried out to monitor this phenomenon and ending with the more recent statistical data. Finally, an overview is provided of the social enterprises launched in the major European countries and based on the Italian “prototype”.
