Published: May 2024

For microgrids to operate optimally and minimize the effects of uncertainty, anticipating solar PV measurements is essential. For residential and commercial microgrids that use solar PV, the predicting of solar energy over a short period is crucial for managing grid-connected PVeffectively. Therefore, this work develops a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for forecasting temperature measurements as time series records, where a combination of long short-term memory (LSTM) architecture with RNN is used to process input measurements by updating the RNN state and winding over time degrees. Data from the entire prior time steps is stored in the RNN state. A dataset of temperature waveform measurements is used, which includes 2000 unnaturally produced signals of three channels with varying length. An LSTM neural network can be used to expect future values of a time series or sequence utilizing data from earlier time steps as input. Training of a regression LSTM neural network through the output of a sequence is performed, where the goals are the training sequence with records shifting one-time step, for training theLSTM neural architecture with time series forecasting. In other words, the weights of the LSTM neural structure learn to predict the following time step values of the input sequence at every time step. By considering the past forecasts as inputs, the closed-loop prediction forecasts the next time steps of sequences. The model makes the forecast without using the true data. The cross-entropy loss serves as the loss function. It is found that the mean RMSE overall test observations were about 0.5080 which promises to make better predictions from learning the temporal context of input sequences

A critical review on optimization and implementation of green-grey infrastructures for sustainable urban stormwater management
Authors: Tansar Husnain , Li Fei , Zheng Feifei , Duan Huan-Feng
Published: May 2024

Green-grey infrastructures' implementation has progressed significantly in cities around the globe for sustainable stormwater management. This review study conducted on green-grey infrastructures' optimization represented recent research trends, existing research status, possible study gaps, and future research directions and recommendations needed for further improvements. The findings show that the research on green-grey infrastructures has got significant attention recently (after 2012) because of accessibility to computational resources and the development of hydrological-hydraulic models and optimization algorithms. Furthermore, research on green-grey infrastructures is mostly conducted in ten countries including China, USA and Iran ranked in the first three places, respectively, delivering their advantages to other countries with the essential awareness and knowledge. Most previous studies considered particular quantitative and qualitative optimization objectives and these studies were conducted at smaller retrofitting scales, therefore, future studies need to expand their scope towards socio-ecological objectives with consideration of larger study areas or multi-stage planning, designing, and implementation. Moreover, future research is recommended to consider stakeholders’ participation in preliminary planning and designing stages for the successful implementation of sustainable stormwater management approaches. Lastly, the surrogate-based optimization approaches instead of traditional optimization methods can overcome the burden of computational time and resources in future.

Impact of Islamic attributes and destination image on tourist satisfaction and revisit intentions in halal tourism: A study in Banda Aceh
Authors:   Master in Islamic Broadcasting and Communication, Postgraduate Program, Universitas Ibn Khaldun, Bogor 16162, Indonesia, Permana Indra Martian , Adam Fadzli ,   Institut Penyelidikan Produk and Ketamadunan Melayu Islam, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA), Gongbadak 21300, Malaysia
Published: May 2024

This research aims to investigate how Islamic characteristics, the image of the destination, and tourists' experiences affect their intentions to return, looking specifically at their satisfaction with halal tourism in Banda Aceh. Using a survey of 100 people selected through non-random sampling, the study analyzes the data using Path Analysis and the SMART PLS version 3 software to test hypotheses. The results show that Islamic attributes, how tourists perceive the destination, and their experiences all play a role in determining their satisfaction with halal tourism in Banda Aceh. When it comes to planning another visit, the Islamic qualities of the destination and its image are important factors, while tourists' experiences and overall satisfaction don't significantly influence their decision to return. This research contributes to our understanding of what makes halal tourism in Banda Aceh appealing, especially in terms of what drives tourist satisfaction and the desire to revisit. Additionally, the study found that the influence of Islamic attributes, destination image, and tourist experiences on the desire to return, mediated by tourist satisfaction, is not significant in the context of halal tourism in Banda Aceh. These findings have implications for both academics studying tourist behavior at halal destinations in Banda Aceh and for professionals developing tourism strategies for these areas.
Evaluation of the Performance of 3 Large Language Models in Clinical Decision Support: A Comparative Study Based on Actual Cases (Preprint)
Authors: Wang Xueqi , Ye Haiyan , Zhang Sumian , Yang Mei , Wang Xuebin
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

Generative large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into the medical field. However, their actual efficacy in clinical decision-making remains partially unexplored.

OBJECTIVE

This study evaluated the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of 3 LLMs (ChatGPT-4, Gemini and Med-Go) in addressing real clinical cases.

METHODS

This study involved 134 clinical cases spanning 9 medical disciplines. The LLMs evaluated were ChatGPT-4, Gemini and Med-Go. Each LLM was required to provide suggestions for diagnosis, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, examination and treatment for every case. Responses were scored by 2 experts using a predefined rubric.

RESULTS

In overall performance among the models, Med-Go achieved the highest median score (37.5, IQR 31.9-41.5), while Gemini recorded the lowest (33.0, IQR 25.5-36.6), showing significant statistical difference among the 3 LLMs (p < 0.001). Analysis revealed that responses related to differential diagnosis were the weakest, while those pertaining to treatment recommendations were the strongest. Med-Go displayed notable performance advantages in gastroenterology, nephrology, and neurology.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings show that all 3 LLMs achieved over 60% of the maximum possible score, indicating their potential applicability in clinical practice. However, inaccuracies that could lead to adverse decisions underscore the need for caution in their application. Med-Go's superior performance highlights the benefits of incorporating specialized medical knowledge into LLMs training. It is anticipated that further development and refinement of medical LLMs will enhance their precision and safety in clinical use.

Published: May 2024

Abstract: WiFiTally is a technology tool designed to use Wi-Fi signals to track and count people in public places. Imagine having a system that can track and detect people's movements in areas such as shopping malls, airports, and cinemas without compromising privacy. WiFiTally does this by using Wi-Fi signals emitted by smartphones and other connected devices that people carry. Simply WiFiTally analyzes the Wi-Fi signal pattern in a designated area to gain insight into crowding and movement. The technology prioritizes privacy by using Wi-Fi signals that people want to leave on their devices, rather than relying on traditional methods like cameras. The process involves collecting anonymous data from Wi-Fi signals and turning it into useful data about population size and traffic. It does not identify individuals; instead, it focuses on all topics to help businesses and theater organizations make informed decisions about crowd management

Published: May 2024

A questionnaire survey was conducted among 2137 college students from
more than 10 colleges and universities in Zhejiang Province and Jiangsu
Province. The data were analyzed by correlation analysis and moderated
mediation model test. The results showed that group psychology such as
emotional infection, depersonalization, silent spiral, relative
deprivation, group polarization and action mobilization can positively
predict network cluster behavior; The action mobilization of opinion
leaders plays a mediating effect between emotional infection and network
cluster behavior; Group polarization plays a mediating effect between
the silent spiral and network cluster behavior; Group efficacy plays a
regulatory role in the latter half of the intermediary process of group
polarization affecting network cluster behavior.
Influence of topography and winds on the distribution of water masses on the Antarctic Continental Shelf
Authors: Bull Christopher Y. S. , Bull Christopher Y S , Munday David R , Jenkins Adrian
Published: May 2024

Central to improving our understanding of ocean temperature change on
Antarctica’s continental shelf is a better understanding of how the
ocean circulation drives the onshore flux of warm deep waters across the
shelf break. This study uses a primitive equation ocean model to explore
how the circulation regime and changes in surface stress influence the
temperature structure on Antarctica’s shelf seas. As the shelf
temperature changes are largely driven by ocean circulation changes,
understanding these becomes our focus. A simple barotropic model is used
to describe the linear theory of the difference between throughflow and
gyres regimes, and their expected response to changes in forcing. This
theory informs our understanding of the barotropic circulation response
of the primitive equation model where a momentum and heat budget confirm
that over the simulated equilibrated timescales with surface forcing
changes, the response is first-order linear. Consistent with previous
findings, we find that climate change projection-like wind shifts
(stronger westerlies that shift south) have a direct influence on Ekman
processes across the shelf break and upwell warmer waters onto the
shelf. We also find that the circulation regime (throughflow or gyre –
determined by basin geometry), influences the mean shelf temperature and
how susceptible the existing shelf temperatures are to changes in
surface stress. While the throughflow regime can experience a complete
transition in on-shelf temperatures when the transition between westerly
and easterly winds shifts southward, we find relatively modest warming
at the coast in a gyre regime. Combinations of these regimes also
experience coastal warming under a constant positive offset in the
winds.
Waveguide or not? Revised ground motion simulations for greater Los Angeles from the M7.8 ShakeOut earthquake scenario
Authors: Yeh Te-Yang , Olsen Kim
Published: May 2024

The ShakeOut scenario of a M7.8 northwestward rupture on the southern
San Andreas fault (SSAF) (Jones et al., 2008) predicted significant
long-period ground motion amplification in the greater Los Angeles, CA,
area, caused by a waveguide from interconnected sedimentary basins.
However, the early ShakeOut ground motion simulations omitted important
model features with immature versions of the velocity structure and
fault geometry. Here, we present 0-1 Hz 3D numerical wave propagation
simulations for the ShakeOut scenario including surface topography, as
well as updated high-resolution velocity structure and SSAF fault
geometry. Spectral Accelerations at 3s are increased by the local
high-resolution basin models (25-45%) but decreased from complexity in
velocity and density updates outside the basins (65-100%) and inclusion
of surface topography (~30%). The updated model reduces
peak ground velocities in the waveguide from ~250 cm/s
to ~100 cm/s, significantly closer to the values
predicted by a leading NGA-West2 ground motion model.

Authors: Ramli Atiqah Akmal , Mazlan Nur Izzati binti , Harun Zatul Fahany , Mohd Yusof Yuslina Liza Bte
Published: May 2024

The adoption of electronic payment systems (e-payments) has gained significant traction worldwide. E-payment systems have become widely accepted and used in Malaysia's Klang Valley area. The purpose of this study is to investigate the elements that drive customer acceptance of e-payment systems in the Klang Valley, with emphasis on convenience, security, speed and social influence. Drawing upon existing literature, convenience emerges as a critical determinant of e-payment adoption. Security considerations also play a crucial role, as consumers prioritize platforms with robust security measures. Additionally, the speed of transactions is a significant factor influencing consumers' preferences with faster processing times. Furthermore, social influence, encompassing peer recommendations and societal norms, shapes consumers' attitudes and behaviors toward e-payment adoption. To empirically test these factors, a quantitative research methodology will be employed, with data collected through non-probability sampling techniques. The study will focus on people of the Klang Valley, especially Kuala Lumpur, who use electronic payment methods. The data will be analyzed and validated using descriptive analysis, reliability tests, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. This study's findings are likely to give useful insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders and researchers looking to encourage the acceptance and use of e-payment systems. Understanding the elements that influence customers' attitudes and behaviors toward e-payment adoption allows for the development of targeted strategies to improve the accessibility, security, and efficiency of digital payment systems. Finally, this study hopes to contribute to the promotion of financial inclusion and the growth of the digital economy.

Published: May 2024

In the post truth era the limits between facts and beliefs, science and pseudo-science seem to be quite blurred. Social media platforms, such as Facebook, provide the ideal vehicle for the widespread sharing of misinformation, by fostering the creation of “filter Bubbles” and “echo chambers”. For the purposes of our study, we analyzed Facebook posts from users’ pages and public groups over a three – month period (from September 2021 to November 2021) with a primary focus on the vaccination against COVID-19. Using thematic content analysis, we attempted to explore the major themes that skeptics of COVID-19 vaccines use to justify their hesitancy. According to research findings, the anti-vaccination discourse on Facebook platform in Greece combines features such as mistrust towards politicians, the medical community, the legacy media, the establishment as a whole, and facts regarding the safety/complications of COVID-19 vaccination itself. If the medical society aspires to combat misinformation regarding health issues, then, deconstructing the anti-vaccination rhetoric will be a pivotal step for the ultimate survival of epistemological truths and scientific discourse in the public sphere.

Published: May 2024

Introduction. Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) is a benign but locally infiltrative soft tissue tumor that develops from fascia and musculoaponeurotic tissue with high local recurrence rate. The aim of this article was to present a case of recurrent DF of the chest wall and chest wall reconstruction after tumor resection. Case outline. A 62-year-old man came for an examination due to a tumor localized on the right anterior chest wall. The previous year, the patient had undergone surgical excision of DF of the abdominal wall. Physical examination found a firm and painless 6?7 cm mass on the right side of the chest wall with no swelling of superficial lymph nodes. A computed tomography scan revealed a homogenous mass of soft tissue density, measuring 7.12 ? 4.23 cm, arising from right anterolateral wall of thoracic cage with adjoining ribs destruction. The patient was taken to surgery, and right thoracotomy was done with excision of tumor along with resection of the eighth, nineth and tenth rib. The results of pathological examination were consistent with the frozen section, and the patient was diagnosed with DF. Despite the absence of postoperative radiotherapy, there was no evidence of local recurrence two years later. Conclusion. Surgical treatment of recurrent DF of the chest wall requires a wide resection with negative margins. Multidisciplinary approach in case of full-thickness defect of the chest wall and combination of pedicled muscle flap and polypropylene mesh are important to provide chest wall stability.

Martorell hypertensive ischaemic leg ulcer (Martorell HYTILU) is a rare but significant cause of distal leg ulcers. Although hypertension and diabetes are known factors in its development, the precise pathogenesis of Martorell HYTILU remains elusive. To reach a better understanding of Martorell HYTILU, transcriptomic analysis was conducted through RNA sequencing and immunohistochemical comparison of Martorell HYTILU (n = 17) with chronic venous ulcers (n = 4) and healthy skin (n = 4). Gene expression analysis showed a marked activation of immune-related pathways in both Martorell HYTILU and chronic venous ulcers compared with healthy skin. Notably, neutrophil activity was substantially higher in Martorell HYTILU. While pathway analysis revealed a mild downregulation of several immune pathways in Martorell HYTILU compared with chronic venous ulcers, keratinization, cornification, and epidermis development were significantly upregulated in Martorell HYTILU. Additionally, STAC2, a gene encoding for a protein promoting the expression of the calcium channel Cav1.1, was significantly upregulated in Martorell HYTILU and was detected perivascularly in situ (Martorell HYTILU n = 24; chronic venous ulcers n = 9, healthy skin n = 11). The high expression of STAC2 in Martorell HYTILU suggests that increased calcium influx plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Consequently, calcium channel antagonists could be a promising treatment avenue for Martorell HYTILU.

El presente artículo completo de investigación científica se deriva de un proyecto de la Gobernación de Norte de Santander enfocado en los pequeños productores de fincas en el marco de la actualización de las prácticas agrícolas como un componente que repercute en la salud, calidad, inocuidad y economía de los productores, las familias y la sociedad en general. El objetivo principal fue evaluar la implementación de Buenas Prácticas Agrícolas (BPA) en 30 fincas vinculadas al proyecto Ecosembrando en los municipios de Ábrego y Villa Caro en Norte de Santander. El tiempo de ejecución fue durante el año 2021. La metodología utilizada fue de tipo mixta con métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos con instrumentos como la observación inicial y participante, entrevistas a los campesinos y agricultores, talleres de capacitación a grupos focales y un cuestionario final con preguntas cerradas para verificar el conocimiento adquirido y los lineamientos implementados por parte de los pequeños productores. Los principales resultados mostraron que existe un desconocimiento total de los campesinos y agricultores sobre la norma de BPA; sin embargo, con la capacitación, talleres y explicaciones se pudo cumplir con más del 80% de los requisitos exigidos por la norma para mejorar las prácticas agrícolas. Las conclusiones más relevantes muestran que, a pesar del desconocimiento de las BPA, los campesinos y cultivadores son bastante receptivos al aprendizaje del tema para mejorar sus cultivos y la forma tradicional de la agricultura incorporando nuevas técnicas.

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar los parámetros de crecimiento de Lactobacillus delbrueckii en un sistema viscoelástico elaborado a partir de goma de gellan. Inicialmente, dispersiones de goma de alto (HAG), bajo grado de acilación (LAG) y su mezcla HAG/LAG al 5 % en peso fueron incorporadas con inulina y gelificadas mediante la adición de iones de calcio. El estudio viscoelástico de estos sistemas se llevó a cabo a través de oscilaciones dinámicas. Los recuentos de L. delbrueckii cultivados en los sistemas de gellan se ajustaron a los modelos de Huang y Gompertz para determinar los parámetros de crecimiento. Todos los sistemas de gellan estudiados mostraron un comportamiento predominantemente elástico, donde el módulo elástico (G’) fue mayor que el módulo viscoso (G’’). G’ es inversamente proporcional a la tasa máxima de crecimiento. HAG y LAG tuvieron un efecto significativo principalmente en la fase de latencia y la velocidad especifica de creciemiento, mientras que no se observó influencia en los parámetros de recuento inicial de células (Y0) y recuento final de células (Ymax). El alto valor de la velocidad de crecimiento encontrado en el sistema HAG indica que L. delbrueckii crece más rápido en HAG que en los sistemas LAG y HAG/LAG. Estos hallazgos pueden ser útiles para desarrollar nuevos productos alimenticios.

La cabra Santandereana es reconocida y aceptada como raza pura y patrimonio genético colombiano. Su sistema de producción está basado en el libre pastoreo. La composición fisicoquímica y nutricional de su carne se conoce muy poco. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar el contenido total de ácidos grasos en la carne de cabra Santandereana según la edad al sacrificio. Para ello, de nueve canales provenientes de machos enteros 4; 8 y 14 meses de edad, se obtuvieron los músculos Longissimus dorsi, Bicep femoris y Bicep brachi de la media canal izquierda. Estos fueron empacados al vacío y almacenados en refrigeración    por 12 horas hasta su análisis. Fueron determinadas las características fisicoquímicas y el contenido de total de ácidos grasos. El contenido de proteína aumenta con la edad de sacrificio, obteniéndose valores superiores al 19,5%. El contenido de grasa decrece con la edad de sacrificio registrándose valores menores al 3,0%. Por otra parte, el contenido de humedad no fue afectado significativamente por la edad. Los músculos Bicep femoris, Bicep brachi y Longissimus dorsi obtenidos de canales de 4 meses presentan mayores contenidos en ácidos grasos saturados (564,0; 347,6 y 250,8 mg/100 g de muestra), en comparación con las otras edades, seguidos por los ácidos grasos insaturados y poliinsaturados respectivamente. El incremento de la edad al sacrificio reduce significativamente el contenido de grasa de la carne y por ende el contenido de ácidos grasos.

El Ciclo de Vida de los residuos sólidos es muy importante por la problemática social y ambiental que se evidenció en el centro histórico de la ciudad de Riohacha, La Guajira Colombia, que hace que sea necesario el concepto de cultura ciudadana. Para eso se utilizó una metodología semi cualitativa con estadísticas, entrevistas, bitácoras y análisis situacional del área que permitió acercarnos a los generadores de los residuos sólidos ordinarios, a 127 infractores que incumplieron los horarios y frecuencias de presentación de los residuos, a los recicladores informales y formalizados, indigentes, sectores comerciales y a 12 vehículos recolectores de tracción animal. Logrando como resultados una alternativa sostenible para mitigar los impactos y sus afectaciones al medio ambiente y a la salud humana, una conciencia ambiental sustentable, optimización del servicio de aseo en la ciudad y una metodología para seguir aplicando como perspectiva de cultura ciudadana sostenible para la ciudad.

La transición energética es un proceso que busca transformar el modelo energético actual basado en combustibles fósiles por uno más sostenible y respetuoso con el medio ambiente. Este proceso es clave para cumplir con los compromisos internacionales de reducción de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y mitigar el cambio climático. Sin embargo, la transición energética implica también grandes desafíos a nivel tecnológico, legal y financiero, que requieren de la participación y coordinación de todos los actores involucrados. En el caso de Colombia, el gobierno nacional ha impulsado algunas iniciativas para promover el desarrollo de las energías renovables, pero aún existen barreras y oportunidades que deben ser aprovechadas para acelerar el proceso y garantizar una transición justa y equitativa. La transición hacia una economía baja en carbono implica el cierre progresivo de las actividades mineras que dependen de los combustibles fósiles. Esta situación conlleva una serie de consecuencias negativas para las regiones mineras, que se ven afectadas por la pérdida de empleos, la disminución de ingresos, el deterioro del tejido social y la degradación del medio ambiente. Este estudio se llevó acabo por medio de la metodología de panel de expertos utilizando el software Atlas Ti para el análisis.
