The Source Code Bank Programming application that the researchers built uses Borland Delphi which functions to support software learning activities and as a reference for software developers, especially the Delphi programming language. In the process of developing Source Code Bank Programming is still in the prototype stage and further development is still being carried out so that it can be competitively competitive in the world. It is necessary to do various evaluations of the quality of the application in order to match the expectations of the user, one of which is to analyze the quality of the application using the Black-Box Testing method. Testing the Black-Box Source Code Bank Programming uses 3 methods, namely; 1) Graph-based testing, 2) Equivalence Partitioning, and 3) Boundary Value Analysis. The research results show that graph testing, equivalence partitioning, and boundary value analysis will be able to help the process of making test cases and make testing simpler, There are errors in testing and are included in the defect-list, the test results also show that the fulfillment of user needs for public users with a value 0.90, user registers/member with a value of 1.00, students with a value of 0.90, lecturers with a value of 0.82 and admin with a value of 0.84 are classified as good because the degree of value in each user module is greater than 0.8.

Kyle McGee argues for the enrichment of socio-legal studies by re-evaluating the operation of rules in legal enunciation, particularly in the ‘judicial Umwelt’. Opposing the tendency to black-box legal rules, prevalent in doctrinal as well as critical or socio-legal research, McGee develops a new articulation of the content of law that would not, in his view, countenance the reduction of law to information. In a departure from his more exploratory book on Latour and legal theory, he focuses here on the means of formal legal speech, walking very slowly, ‘intolerably’ slowly, through the weeds of a US trial court’s opinion in a class lawsuit concerning injuries and property damage suffered by residents of a small community allegedly resulting from a chemical company’s pollution of nearby aquifers. Narrating the slow composition of a legal trajectory out of a multitude of non-legal actors and the court’s methodical de-stratification of complicated levels or planes of enunciation, McGee introduces the jurimorph as a semiotic tool for capturing the peculiar translation that must precede entry into the trajectory and which results in a new legal figure – a value-object or, in later stages, after certain trials have been met, an obligation. The litigants propose competing sequences of value-objects, each leading to the endorsement of their respective positions; the court must submit the virtual sequences to tests, and draws out, actualises, only one pathway of obligations leading to the instauration of a principle.

Abstract Background: Deep Learning (DL) models are able to produce accurate results in various areas. However, the medical field is specially sensitive, because every decision should be reliable and explained to the stakeholders. Thus, the high accuracy of DL models pose a great advantage, but the fact that they function as a black-box hinders their application to sensitive fields, given that they are not explainable per se. Hence, the application of explainability methods became important to provide explaination DL models in various problems. In this work, we trained different classifiers and generated explanation of their classification of electrocardiograms (ECG) by applying well-known methods. Finally, we extract quantifiable information to evaluate the explanation of our classifiers. Methods: In this study two datasets were built consisting of image representation of ECG that were labelled given one specific heartbeat: 1. labelled given the last heartbeat and 2. labelled given the first heartbeat. DL models were trained with each dataset. Three different explainability methods were applied to the DL models to explain their classification. These methods produce attribution maps in which the intensity of the pixels are proportional to their importance to the classification task. Thus, we developed a metric to quantify the focus of the models in the region of interest (ROI) of the ECG representation. Results: The developed classification models achieved accuracy scores of around 93.66% and 91.72% in the testing set. The explainability methods were successfully applied to these models. The quantification metric developed in this work demonstrated that, in most cases, the models did have a focus around the heartbeat of interest. The results ranged from around 8.8% in the worst case, until 32.4%, where the random focus would mean a value of approximately 10%. Conclusions: The classification models performed accurately in the two datasets, however, even though their focus is higher in the ROI of the figures compared with the random case, the results allow the interpretation that other regions of the figures might also be important for classification. In the future, it should be investigated the importance of regions outside the ROI and also if specific waves of the ECG signal contribute to the classification.

The article considers the interrelation of sociology and cybernetics and their increasing pervasion into each other. The contribution of cybernetics to sociological science can be seen in using a modeling process, the black box method, feedback and the intellectualisation of society. As far as the notion of intellect is concerned, the author described the sociological understanding of this phenomenon by distinguishing it from gnoseological and cybernetic interpretation. In the article the author develops Talcott Parsons’ concept about the symbolic and informational hierarchy of the society subsystems. While maintaining the very idea of hierarchy, his proposal is that the conceptual rationale offered for hierarchy can be used for the basic spheres of society. Accordingly, it helps to clarify some symbolic means of exchange and communication. It is noted that T. Parsons didn’t use the sphere approach in the theoretical analysis of society. There is some reason to believe that the main symbolic means should be considered trust, not a value obligation. Trust is a phenomenon which characterises not only interpersonal connections, but also attitudes towards social institutions – state and its bodies, education, health care, etc. It is advisable to replace power with authority.

Natural Brucite (Mg(OH)2) decomposes on heating to form magnesium oxide (MgO) having its cubic ﹛110﹜ and ﹛111﹜ planes respectively parallel to the prism and basal planes of the hexagonal brucite lattice. Although the crystal-lographic relation between the parent brucite crystal and the resulting mag-nesium oxide crystallites is well known, the exact mechanism by which the reaction proceeds is still a matter of controversy. Goodman described the decomposition as an initial shrinkage in the brucite basal plane allowing magnesium ions to shift their original sites to the required magnesium oxide positions followed by a collapse of the planes along the original <0001> direction of the brucite crystal. He noted that the (110) diffraction spots of brucite immediately shifted to the positions required for the (220) reflections of magnesium oxide. Gordon observed separate diffraction spots for the (110) brucite and (220) magnesium oxide planes. The positions of the (110) and (100) brucite never changed but only diminished in intensity while the (220) planes of magnesium shifted from a value larger than the listed ASTM d spacing to the predicted value as the decomposition progressed.
