Possibilities of Applying the Thematic Contents of Environmental Education in Ethical Education in Slovakia by Barbora Baďurová

“…The text deals with the possibilities of the utilisation of cross-curricular themed Environmental education in the school subject, “Ethical education in Slovakia”, especially in lower secondary education. The text partly stems from work on the project APVV-14-0176  “Didactic Means Facilitating the Implementation of Selected Cross-Curricular Topics in the Teaching of Ethical Education at the Second Level of Primary School”, and offers a brief overview on how the topics of ethical education may overlap with environmental education. …”

Applying MLP-Mixer and gMLP to Human Activity Recognition by Takeru Miyoshi, Makoto Koshino, Hidetaka Nambo

“…We suggest that comparable accuracy could be achieved with fewer parameters for sensor data, which typically have lower dimensionality than image data. Reducing the number of parameters would decrease memory requirements and computational complexity by reducing the model size. …”

Indirect effects of serum metabolites in the influence of the DASH diet on systolic blood pressure: The Taizhou imaging study by Yawen Wang, Yi Zheng, Xin Zhang, Jincheng Li, Yucan Li, Chengjun Zhang, Ningxin Gao, Jiacheng Wang, Min Fan, Weizhong Tian, Yanfeng Jiang, Yingzhe Wang, Mei Cui, Chen Suo, Tiejun Zhang, Li Jin, Xingdong Chen, Kelin Xu

“…Adherence to the DASH diet was linked to lower SBP (β = −2.61; 95 % CI: −4.12, −1.20). It was observed that lipid and lipoprotein metabolites suppressed the relationship between the DASH score and SBP (The ratio of suppressing effect was 0.059). …”

TLP: Towards three‐level loop parallelisation by Shabnam Mahjoub, Mehdi Golsorkhtabaramiri, Seyed Sadegh Salehi Amiri

“…This is the responsibility of parallel compilers, which perform parallelisation in several steps by distributing iterations between different processors and executing them simultaneously to achieve lower runtime. The present paper focuses on the uniformisation of three‐level perfect nested loops as an important step in parallelisation and proposes a method called Towards Three‐Level Loop Parallelisation (TLP) that uses a combination of a Frog Leaping Algorithm and Fuzzy to achieve optimal results because in recent years, many algorithms have worked on volumetric data, that is, three‐dimensional spaces. …”

Silver carp muscle hydrolysate ameliorated atherosclerosis and liver injury in apoE-/- mice: the modulator effects on enterohepatic cholesterol metabolism by Kai Wang, Zixin Fu, Yuqing Tan, Hui Hong, Jianping Wu, Yongkang Luo

“…Consistent with this, the lipid levels both in circulation and liver were lowered by SCH. The mechanism analysis showed SCH down-regulated the expression of genes involved in lipoproteins production while up-regulated the expression of genes related to reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in liver. …”
