Ukraińskie zapożyczenie kołtun w polskiej terminologii medycznej by Lucyna Agnieszka Jankowiak

“…Jest przykładem wyrazu, który z po­wo­dów pozajęzykowych (z oficjalnej medycyny zniknęła taka jednostka chorobowa) ostatecznie traci rangę nauko­­wego terminu. Dzięki analizie materiałów z różnych słowników (głównie medycznych) oraz z literatury medycznej, okazało się również, że rangę terminu naukowego kołtun traci zna­cz­nie później (1. połowa XX wieku) niż kołtun przestaje być przez naukowe środowisko trakto­­wany jako jednostka chorobowa lub objaw chorobowy (2. połowa XIX wieku). …”

Research on seed node mining algorithm in large-scale temporal graph by Xiaohong ZOU, Chengwei XU, Jing CHEN, Biao SONG, Mingyue WANG

“…Most of the existing maximizing influence algorithms based on temporal graph were not applicable for large-scale networks due to the low time efficiency or narrow influence range.Therefore, the seed node mining algorithm named CHG combining heuristic algorithm and greedy strategy was proposed.Firstly, based on the time sequence characteristics of information diffusion in temporal graph, the concept of two-order degree of nodes was given, and the influence of nodes was heuristically evaluated.Secondly, the nodes were filtered according to the influence evaluation results, and the candidate seed node set was constructed.Finally, the marginal effect of candidate seed nodes was calculated to solve the overlap of influence ranges between nodes to ensure the optimal combination of seed nodes.The experiments were carried out on three different scale data sets, and the results show that the proposed algorithm can ensure the high influence of the seed node set even though its running time is relatively shorter.And it can achieve a better trade-off between the time efficiency and the influence range of the seed node set.…”

Numerical Simulation Analysis on Change of Diversion Ratio of North and South Ports in the Lower Reaches of the Minjiang River by XIA Houxing

“…In order to analyze the change of the diversion ratio of north and south ports in the lower reaches of the Minjiang River and the influence of river channel evolution on this ratio,based on previous research,as well as measured data,this paper studies diversion-ratio change through mathematical models.According to the results,from 1997 to 2020,the diversion ratio of the north and south ports of the Minjiang River changed significantly,with the change before 2009 being greater than that after 2009.From 1997 to 2020,the change of riverbed erosion and siltation was the main factor influencing the change of the diversion ratio of the north and south ports.This results in a decrease of 9.1%~10.6% in the diversion ratio of the north port in the event of a flood once in 50~200 years.Moreover,the narrowing of the river plane also impacted the diversion ratio of the north and south ports to a certain extent,with an impact range of about 3%.The research results can provide technical references for improvement and protection management of the north and south ports in the lower reaches of the Minjiang River,as well as river-related development and construction.…”

An idea of public reason: exclusionary and broad by Diogo Fernandes

“…Against an inclusive perspective, I will argue that the fears related to the lack of authenticity of public political discourse are not only unfounded, but that the exclusionary view contributes better to fix the duty of neutral justification in the public political culture. Against a narrow perspective, I will argue that the incompleteness of public reason cannot be determined a priori, and that its limitation to the basic structure is inconsistent with the conditions of reasonable disagreement. …”
