To deal with the deep learning-based automatic modulation classification (AMC) in the scenario that the training dataset are distributed over a network without gathering the data at a centralized location, the decentralized learning-based AMC (DecentAMC) had been presented. However, there exists frequent model parameter uploading and downloading in DecentAMC method, which cause high communication overhead. In this paper, an innovative learning framework are proposed for AMC (named DeEnAMC), in which the framework is realized by utilizing the combination of decentralized learning and ensemble learning. Our results show that the proposed DeEnAMC reduces communication overhead while keeping a similar classification performance to DecentAMC.

The motor development of the child, especially motor coordination, is important for performing purposeful activities. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of individual educational and rehabilitation treatment on motor coordination in students with visual impairment. The sample included one student, male, aged 9 years, with a diagnosis of nystagmus, amblyopia and astigmatism. The initial and final assessment was done with the student, and the Beery-Buktenica developmental test of visual-motor integration (VMI) fifth edition was used for the same, which is intended for the assessment of visual-motor integration, visual perception and motor coordination. For the purposes of this research, the subtest Motor Coordination was used, which consists of 30 tasks. After the initial assessment, an individual educational-rehabilitation treatment lasting 2 months was conducted. Survey data was processed by frequency analysis. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that there has been an improvement in students in the field of motor coordination. The results of the research indicated the importance of recognizing students with motor coordination difficulties as early as possible, as well as the importance of conducting educational and rehabilitation treatment, with a positive effect on motor coordination. Keywords: visual impairment, motor coordination, educational-rehabilitation program.

Abstract Underfrequency load shedding is a common technique for maintaining the stability of the power system by removing the overload in a certain part of the system after a disturbance. The purpose of underfrequency load shedding is to balance output and load when a particular event causes a significant frequency drop in the power system. In conventional underfrequency load shedding schemes, the frequency thresholds of frequency relays are constant, this way it is difficult and sometimes impossible to control the frequency in various disturbances in the system. In this paper, an adaptive underfrequency load shedding (AUFLS) algorithm that is independent of communication between relays is presented. The relays are tuned to reduce loads taking into account local parameters such as voltage and frequency to prevent the occurrence of a cascade failure that can ultimately lead to the breakdown of the entire power system. In this paper, the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) is obtained by applying the Hilbert-Huang transformation. Numerical simulations conducted on the New England 39 bus test system in the DIgSILENT PowerFactory and MATLAB software packages confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Ugledna talijanska izdavačka kuća Mucchi iz Modene u rujnu 2021. godine, pod uredničkom palicom Antonija Saccoccija, redovitog profesora Sveučilišta La Sapienza u Rimu, i Stefana Porcellija, višeg istraživača Sveučilišta u Bresciji, objavila je znanstvenu monografiju pod nazivom Kineski građanski zakonik i rimski pravni sustav (Codice civile cinese e sistema giuridico romanistico). Riječ je o monografiji za kojom se, očekivano, javio veliki interes u romanističkim krugovima, ali i među širom zainteresiranom pravničkom javnošću. Naime, 1. siječnja 2021. godine u Narodnoj Republici Kini, najmnogoljudnijoj i jednoj od ekonomski najsnažnijih zemalja svijeta, stupio je na snagu novi Građanski zakonik (Codex iuris civilis sinicus, dalje: Zakonik), koji je 28. svibnja 2020. godine usvojio Državni narodni kongres Kine. Težnja za uređenjem pravnog sustava, poštujući princip vladavine prava u Kini, prisutna je posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća. U segmentu privatnog prava bili su prisutni veliki napori i različiti iskoraci u cilju uređenja mnogih pitanja značajnih za kinesko društvo u cjelini. Došlo je do usvajanja Zakona o dioničkim društvima, Zakona o ugovorima, Zakona o vlasništvu i stvarnim pravima itd. Pravni znanstvenici koji su pratili te izmjene, poput jednog od urednika predmetne monografije, Stefana Porcellija, ocijenili su kako su revizije ovih zakona bile prilično značajne i temeljite te su se ticale mnogih segmenata duboko vezanih s istinskim potrebama kineskog društva. Donošenje svih tih zakona te kontinuirani rad na modifikacijama unutar pravnog poretka dodijelio je novim zakonima središnju ulogu u kineskom društvu. Iako su nedvojbeno reformski procesi doprinosili jačanju vladavine prava, nastojeći uspostaviti vertikalni niz između kineske prošlosti, sadašnjosti i budućnosti, sve se izvjesnijom činila nužnost kodificiranja prava. Prijedlozi za izradu Zakonika spominjali su se još prije 20-ak godina, ali zauzet je opći stav kako društvo, ako se savinjistički izrazimo, još uvijek nije zrelo za cjelovitu reformu. I tako, nastavljen je niz donošenja novih zakona, što je zbog velike količine propisa uzrokovalo nužnost sustavnog usklađivanja kako bi se ti propisi mogli razumjeti i primijeniti. Zbog svega navedenog u listopadu 2014. godine Središnji odbor Komunističke partije Kine izrazio je želju da se izradi Nacrt građanskog zakonika za Narodnu Republiku Kinu. Radovi na izradi kodifikacije napredovali su velikom brzinom, a u tom procesu došlo je do snažne, u prvom redu akademske, suradnje kineskih i talijanskih pravnika. Na tom tragu rimsko pravo i moderne građanske kodifikacije, osobito talijanski Codice civile, poslužili su kao izvrsni modeli iz kojih se crpila pravnička inspiracija, a sve kako bi se, poštujući pravila o pravnoj transplantaciji, instituti i koncepti na adekvatan način inkorporirali u kinesku pravnu kulturu i omogućili joj daljnji gospodarski rast i razvoj, što je nedvojbeno u korelaciji s osiguranjem pravne sigurnosti. Zakonikom je postavljen cilj osiguravanja pravde kroz reguliranje građanskih, trgovačkih, a jednim dijelom i radnih odnosa, kroz sustavno pružanje jasnog pravnog okvira onima koji posluju ili žele poslovati na području Kine. Kako su sami urednici naglasili u uvodnoj studiji, forma i koncepti predmetne kodifikacije pokazuju kako je kineski zakonodavac i tamošnja pravna znanost prilikom izrade kodifikacije nastojala postići dijalog s rimskim pravnim sustavom, odnosno pravničkim poukama izgrađivanim u rimskoj pravnoj tradiciji posljednjih tisućljeća. Zbog toga, kako bi se istinski razumjeli opsezi primjene i izvorna značenja koncepata primijenjenih u Zakoniku, nužno je, u cilju razumijevanja sadržaja, dobro poznavati te konstantno proučavati rimski pravni sustav i njegov unutarnji razvoj.

We evaluate classical macroeconomic theory IS-LM model and expose the paradox of real interest rate (r) which equilibrates S (real goods and services produced and saved in the domestic economy) and I (investments) if the loanable capital is not coming only from real savings but investments can be financed through the money creation or 'money capital' generated either through the credit expansion in the banking system due to fractional reserves banking or through the open market operations by the government. If r is exogenous and lowered through monetary policy, I is expanded beyond S, which paradoxically require higher r to correct for these disbalances in macroeconomic sense. Economic and financial system should eliminate this exogenous influence on r, by separating money creation from r, so that r is left to play its equilibrating role in macroeconomic sense. Separation of r from interest rate on money is in line with prescribed prohibition of setting any fixed reward on money per se, and in general ex-ante setting of reward in productive endeavors which is also forbidden in Islamic jurisprudence. We show that classic macroeconomic theory does not expose the effect that fresh money has on saving and capital markets from the perspective of macroeconomic balance. Therefore, macroeconomic policy should concentrate on achievement of macroeconomic targets without lowering r as it is paradox to lower the return on capital and savings to promote economic growth as higher r on capital promotes investment. This is possible if ex-ante determination of reward on borrowed funds is adopted. However, the phenomena of fresh capital creation in the form of new money and its use in financing of investments should be rethought from macroeconomic perspective and overall social justice as real savings are not of equal opportunity cost as new money (capital)?

The role of ECG segmentation tool has been pivotal in automated analysis of real-time ECG signals for detection of non-invasive cardiovascular and physiological conditions. Most of the existing approaches focus on traditional signal processing and/or traditional machine learning based approaches which are highly dependent on signal noise, inter/intra subject variability, etc. With the advent of deep learning based networks, it is possible to design and develop the classification model based on local features along with spatial and temporal context of the physiological signals. In this paper, we developed the attention based Convolutional Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (Conv-BiLSTM) architecture network based on local beat features and temporal sequencing while correlating ECG beat across different positions. The performance of our ECG segmentation tool has been evaluated against the state-of-the art approaches in terms of ECG segmentation and fiducial point detection accuracy. The ECG segmentation accuracy was 95% whereas fiducial point detection accuracy was 99.4%.

Austenitic stainless steel is mostly used at high temperatures. It is known that during heating of the austenitic stainless steel with increasing temperature and time of annealing a microstructure is changed i.e. there is the precipitation of carbides followed by precipitation of secondary phases as a sigma phase. The presence of the delta ferrite in austenitic stainless steel enhances the formation of the sigma phase. This study represents the influence of delta ferrite on the sigma phase formation and the effect of the sigma phase on general corrosion. Corrosion tests were conducted in the corrosion cell according to Standard ASTM G5, on instrument potentiostat/galvanostat, Princeton Applied Research, model 263A-2, with the software PowerCORR® (Standard, ASTM G5-94). Examinations were carried out in 1% HCl and 10% FeCl3 solutions. The Tafel extrapolation method was used for the investigation of general corrosion. The results of corrosion testing indicated that the intensity of the general corrosion increases with the increase of the delta ferrite and sigma phase contents.

We analyze $K\to \pi \nu\bar \nu$ rates in a model with a TeV-scale leptoquark addressing $B$-meson anomalies, based on the flavor non-universal 4321 gauge group featuring third-generation quark-lepton unification. We show that, together with the tight bounds imposed by $\Delta F = 2$ amplitudes, the present measurement of $\mathcal{B}(K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu)$ already provides a non-trivial constraint on the model parameter space. In the minimal version of the model, the deviations from the Standard Model in $\mathcal{B}(K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu)$ are predicted to be in close correlation with non-standard effects in the Lepton Flavor Universality ratios $R_D$ and $R_{D^*}$. With the help of future data, these correlations can provide a decisive test of the model.

INTRODUCTION Although vaccines are the safest and most effective means to prevent and control infectious diseases, the increasing rate of vaccine hesitancy and refusal (VHR) has become a worldwide concern. We aimed to find opinions of parents on vaccinating their children and contribute to available literature in order to support the fight against vaccine refusal by investigating the reasons for VHR on a global scale. METHODOLOGY In this international cross-sectional multicenter study conducted by the Infectious Diseases International Research Initiative (ID-IRI), a questionnaire consisting of 20 questions was used to determine parents' attitudes towards vaccination of their children. RESULTS Four thousand and twenty-nine (4,029) parents were included in the study and 2,863 (78.1%) were females. The overall VHR rate of the parents was found to be 13.7%. Nineteen-point three percent (19.3%) of the parents did not fully comply with the vaccination programs. The VHR rate was higher in high-income (HI) countries. Our study has shown that parents with disabled children and immunocompromised children, with low education levels, and those who use social media networks as sources of information for childhood immunizations had higher VHR rates (p < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS Seemingly all factors leading to VHR are related to training of the community and the sources of training. Thus, it is necessary to develop strategies at a global level and provide reliable knowledge to combat VHR.
