BODY AND SPACE RELATIONSHIP IN THE RESEARCH FIELD OF PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: BLUMENBERG’S CRITICISM OF EDMUND HUSSERL’S “ANTHROPOLOGY PHOBIA” by V. Prykhodko, S. Rudenko

“…It is based on the all-round investigation of the body’s principal role for cultural existence, as a result of a reverse reaction to artificial conceptual gap between space and body, which basically means ignoring the embodiment theme. An example of such theoretical deformation was Edmund Husserl’s “anthropology phobia” revealed and thoroughly analysed by Hans Blumenberg in his critical works. …”

Genetic Variations and mRNA Expression of NRF2 in Parkinson’s Disease by Caroline Ran, Karin Wirdefeldt, Lovisa Brodin, Mehrafarin Ramezani, Marie Westerlund, Fengqing Xiang, Anna Anvret, Thomas Willows, Olof Sydow, Anders Johansson, Dagmar Galter, Per Svenningsson, Andrea Carmine Belin

“…Nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 (NRF2) encodes a transcription factor regulating mechanisms of cellular protection and is activated by oxidative stress. NRF2 has therefore been hypothesized to confer protection against Parkinson’s disease and so far an NRF2 haplotype has been reported to decrease the risk of developing disease and delay disease onset. …”

Traffic model for wireless mesh networks by statistical networks calculus by QI Hua-mei, CHEN Zhi-gang

“…In accordance with the characteristics of wireless mesh networks（WMN） and statistical network calculus theory,a novel traffic model for evaluating single and multinodes in WMN was proposed.The model fully illustrated the stochastic characteristic of WMN with the property that the input-output relation and sum functions of this model were bounded by a min-plus convolution function.Theoretical analysis proves that the novel traffic model correctly describes the actual situation of the WMN.…”

Interdomain routing instability traceable detection method based on route state causal chain by Di CHEN, Han QIU, Wanli ZHANG, Huihu ZHU, Junhu ZHU, Qingxian WANG

“…To solve the problem of detection time limitation caused by route update delay and the possible tampering of traceability information in existing route instability traceable detection methods， an interdomain routing instability traceable detection method based on route state causal chain was proposed.By analyzing the causal relationship of route states， the route state update token that can describe the route state change and transfer process was defined.Route state update tokens were published and stored in the blockchain during the route update propagation to construct the decentralized and tamper-resistant route state causal chain.By analyzing the route state causal chain， the type of route instability was judged， and the failed links or policy-conflict AS sequences were located to achieve route instability traceable detection.The capability of proposed method to trace the failure link and the policy-conflict AS sequence which could lead to convergence delay and persistent route oscillation respectively was proven theoretically， and validating experiment based on software routers in typical topology was carried out.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can timely detect route instability caused by the dynamic changes of both policy and topology， and determine type and root cause of route instability without modifying BGP.…”

Using Pretreatment of Carbon Monoxide Combined with Chlorine Dioxide and Lactic Acid to Maintain Quality of Vacuum-Packaged Fresh Beef by Fei Lyu, Yuliang Zhao, Kejing Shen, Xuxia Zhou, Jianyou Zhang, Yuting Ding

“…Due to microbial growth, beef easily gets corrupt in retail conditions, and the color and quality of the meat will be deteriorated. Therefore, hurdle technology, namely, pretreatment of carbon monoxide (CO), chlorine dioxide, and lactic acid, is used for vacuum-packaged beef to decontaminate beef and increase its quality stability. …”

Bearing Fault Classification Based on Conditional Random Field by Guofeng Wang, Xiaoliang Feng, Chang Liu

“…In comparison with the HMM, the main advantage of the CRF model is that it can depict the temporal dynamic information between the observation sequences and state sequences without assuming the independence of the input feature vectors. Therefore, the interrelationship between the adjacent observation vectors can also be depicted and integrated into the model, which makes the classifier more robust and accurate than the HMM. …”

Consequences of water and land scarcity and unhealthy diets on the productive capacity of the middle East and North Africa by Alireza Hadipour, Seyed Hamid Ahmadi, Ali Reza Sepaskhah

“…Water and land scarcity and their impacts on global food and water security and healthy diet represents a paramount challenge, especially for vulnerable regions like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region A significant research gap persists in understanding the impact of climate change, population growth, and the overexploitation of water resources on the socioeconomic and political performance of countries. Therefore, we aim to investigate the effects of water and land scarcity, and unhealthy diets on the productive capacity index of MENA countries over a 20-year period (2001–2020) using time series trend, panel data econometric modeling and the fixed effects method. …”
