Исследование информационных процессов в некоторых повторяющихся играх

Рассматривается неантагонистическая повторяющаяся игра с непрерывным временем. Один раз за всю игру может подействовать возмущающий фактор. Он изменяет существующую ситуацию равновесия на другую. При этом выигрыш второго игрока уменьшается. Найдены равновесные стратегии и оптимальный дискретный режим получения информации. Показано, что наблюдатель оценивает режим получения информации как оптимальный или избыточный в зависимости от модели реальности, которой он пользуется.The non-antagonistic repeated game are considered. The disturbance is able to act once the game. It changes the existing situation of equilibrium for another one. For this the second player gain decreases. The equilibrium strategies and the optimum discrete regime of the information receipt are found. It is shown that observer estimates the regime of the information receipt as the optimum or surplus regime depending on the model of reality which is used by him

Level of Antibody Response against Hepatitis B Virus after Vaccination and Seroprevalence of HBV in Children Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Approximately 2 billion people worldwide are infected with HBV and more than 240 million are chronic carriers. The World Health Organization officially launched the introduction of the hepatitis B vaccine for children in 1980. Since then, different countries have determined the level of response to the vaccine. Since the introduction of the vaccine in Ethiopia in 2007, there have been few studies evaluating the antibody response to the HBV vaccine. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the HBV antibody response after hepatitis B vaccination and to evaluate the HBV seroprevalence of children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a multistage probability sampling technique. Four hundred and fifty children between the ages of five and eight living in Addis Ababa were enrolled. Socio-demographic characteristics were obtained through a structured questionnaire and three to four ml of blood was collected from each child. ELISA was performed to determine antibody levels against HBV. The average age is seven + one (SD) years. Anti-HBs were detected in 54.3% (208/450) of children, and girls 98 (54.7%) had a slightly higher level of protection than boys 110 did (53.9%). The overall coverage rate of the vaccine in this study was 85.1%. The proportion of children with protective levels (> 10 mIU / ml of anti-HBs antibodies) decreased with increasing age of the children: 5, 6, 7 and 8 years were 52.6%, 60%, 43.5% and 37.1%, respectively. The seroprevalence rate for HBsAg is 0.4% and the seroprevalence rate for anti-HBc is 5.6%. Age and antibody response level were negatively correlated (p = 0.001), while gender and history of HBV infection were not significantly correlated. Age was also significantly correlated with anti-HBc seropositivity (p = 0.003). HBV vaccine coverage for children is high, but the antibody response to the vaccine appears to be low. The seropositivity rate for the virus is also very low. Low levels of response to the vaccine should be a problem. For unresponsive children, revaccination or booster doses should be considered. More research needs to be done

Maternal Hepatitis Infections: Determining Seroprevalence of Hepatitis B and C Virus Infections and Associated Risk Factors among Healthy Mothers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Introduction: Viral hepatitis is a global public health problem affecting millions of people every year, causing disability and death. Hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) viruses spread horizontally, mainly through sexual contact and contaminated needles, and vertically. Both cause considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Maternal infection is a risk factor for vertical transmission. Objective: To determine the seroprevalence of HBsAg and anti-HCV antibody among non-pregnant, apparently healthy mothers and to identify potential risk factors associated with HBV or HCV infection. Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted on 454 apparently healthy women, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from May 2016 to June 2017. A systematic random sampling method was used to recruit participants. Result: A total of 454 mothers were enrolled. Seroprevalence of HBsAg and HCV was found to be 3.7% and 2.0%, respectively. HBc antibody was detected in 36.3% of the mothers. None of the participants was co-infected with both viruses. Previous history of liver disease, history of jaundice, HIV infection, and family history of liver disease were significantly associated with HBV infection. Marital status, caring for hepatitis patients, and a history of liver disease were factors significantly associated with HCV infection. Conclusion: Apparently, healthy mothers in Addis Ababa had intermediate level of endemicity for hepatitis B and C infections Routine screening and vaccination of high-risk reproductive mothers against HBV is advisable. Emphasis should be given to health education and promotion of infection control practices. Population based studies are strongly recommended to help monitor disease transmission patterns and to design evidence-based interventions against the spread of hepatitis infections in Ethiopia

Psychoanalysis and science : the equation of the subjects

Pretendemos demonstrar que a afirmação de Jacques Lacan de que a ciência moderna foi a condição de possibilidade de surgimento da psicanálise deriva um conjunto de proposições: há ciência moderna; a psicanálise só pôde surgir na modernidade do pensamento; e entre psicanálise e ciência há uma lógica de compatibilidade. Para tanto, a partir da epistemologia procuramos definir o estatuto de um mundo afetado pela atividade científica moderna em oposição a um mundo antigo. Isso nos levou à axiomática do corte maior decorrente do pensamento de Descartes e da física matematizada, que propõe haver uma cesura que afeta todos os discursos compossíveis. Com a matematização do pensamento, as qualidades do existente são abolidas, fornecendo terreno propício para o surgimento do sujeito do inconsciente, que Lacan irá alocar entre significantes, promovendo uma teoria do sujeito essencialmente moderna.This article aims to demonstrate that Jacques Lacan’s assertion that modern science was the condition of possibility of the emergence of psychoanalysis derives a set of propositions: to modern science; psychoanalysis could only arise in the modernity of thought; and between psychoanalysis and science there is a logic of compatibility. To do so, from an epistemological point of view, the article aims to define the status of a world affected by modern scientific activity as opposed to the ancient world. This led research to the axiomatic, in a broader scope, from Descartes’ works and mathematical physics, which proposes a caesura that affects all existing discourses. With the mathematization of thought, the qualities of the existent were abolished, thereby providing the propitious ground for the emergence of the subject of the unconscious, which Lacan will allocate between signifiers, promoting an essentially modern theory of the subject.Notre but est de démontrer que l’affirmation de Jacques Lacan qui dit que la science moderne a été la condition à la naissance de la psychanalyse résulte dans un certain nombre des propositions : il y a la science moderne ; la psychanalyse ne peut que surgir dans la modernité de la pensée ; et il y a entre la psychanalyse et la science une logique de compatibilité. Pour cela, à partir de l’épistémologie, nous avons cherché à définir le statut du monde affecté pour l’activité de la science moderne par opposition à un monde ancien, ce qui nous a amené à l’axiome de la coupure majeure de la pensée de Descartes et de la physique mathématique, qui propose l’existence d’une rupture qui touche tous les discours. Avec l’introduction de la mathématique dans la pensée les attributs de l’existant sont abolis et a laissé une place propice à l’apparition du sujet de l’inconscient que Lacan met entre les signifiants, ce qui a promu l’émergence d’une théorie moderne du sujet.Pretendemos demostrar que la afirmación de Jacques Lacan de que la ciencia moderna fue la condición de posibilidad de surgimiento del psicoanálisis constituye un conjunto de proposiciones: hay ciencia moderna; el psicoanálisis solo ha podido surgir en la modernidad del pensamiento; y entre el psicoanálisis y la ciencia hay una lógica de compatibilidad. Para tanto, desde la epistemología, tratamos de definir el estatuto de un mundo afectado por la actividad científica moderna en oposición a un mundo antiguo. Esto nos llevó a la axiomática del corte mayor resultante del pensamiento de Descartes y de la física matematizada que propone haber una censura que afecta todos los discursos composibles. Con la matematización del pensamiento, las cualidades de lo existente son anuladas, estableciendo el campo propicio para el surgimiento del sujeto del inconsciente, que Lacan situará entre significantes, promoviendo, así, una teoría del sujeto esencialmente moderna

Nutrient-Dense Orange-Fleshed Sweetpotato: Advances in Drought-Tolerance Breeding and Understanding of Management Practices for Sustainable Next-Generation Cropping Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa

Almost half of children < 5 years old living in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) suffer from vitamin A deficiency and 60% suffer from iron deficiency. Thus, there has been a strong commitment to breeding for, promoting awareness of, and delivering adapted pro-vitamin A rich orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) in SSA during the past two decades and for enhanced iron content since 2014. This review article focuses on major breeding efforts in SSA to enhance the drought tolerance of OFSP and reviews integrated crop management practices for improved and sustained sweetpotato production in SSA farming systems. Under climate change, the frequency and severity of droughts is expected to increase. Technical issues are presented in the context of addressing challenges along the entire value chain to ensure adoption. First, the use of an accelerated breeding scheme reduced the breeding cycle from 8–10 to 4–5 years. Since 2010, 19 drought-tolerant OFSP cultivars have been released in Mozambique, 7 in Malawi, and 2 in South Africa. Moreover, research in four breeding populations using the heterosis exploiting breeding scheme (HEBS) demonstrated that within one breeding cycle of 5 years, clones with significantly higher root yield, abiotic tolerance, host plant resistance to pests and diseases, and early maturity can be produced. In the future, HEBS will be combined with greater use of modern genomic tools, new phenotyping tools, and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing. Second, beyond genetic enhancements, evidence is presented that using improved crop management systems, existing sweet potato yields can be increased 2–4 times. Current knowledge is reviewed concerning sweetpotato’s role in diverse farming systems, but integrated crop management is clearly under researched. Third, the outlook for drought tolerance breeding indicates that two distinct classes of nutrient-rich cultivars are emerging: (1) Early maturing cultivars (< 4 month growing period) that escape drought but also serve humid environments with small landholding size per capita; and (2) Medium maturing (4–6 month growing period) cultivars that avoid drought, are drought tolerant and exhibit continuous root formation. Increasing commercialization of the crop and climate change will drive demand, and the willingness of farmers to invest in improved sweetpotato crop management
