AI-deation: When the Teacher is a Transformer in Role-Playing to create Privacy Decision Serious Games
Authors: Jost Patrick
Published: June 2024

Understanding the synergistic potential of human collaboration with artificial intelligence (AI) in creative endeavours, such as ideating Serious Game (SG) concepts, is of vital interest in our era of digital transformation. This study probes two pivotal questions: First, how does the incorporation of a GPT-4 transformer AI, assuming the role of a teacher, influence support for student teams during the ideation and balancing of SG concepts? Second, what are the students' perceptions of AI integration when co-designing these concepts with an AI in the educator role? In a between-group research design, two distinct groups engaged in a collaborative role-playing activity with digital role-specific cards and a visualised board to ideate and balance Serious Games addressing privacy decision-making. The first group, engaging in a local setting, collaborated with an AI that played the teacher role. In contrast, the second group played the co-ideation activity in a remote setting, with a human playing the role of the teacher. The findings indicate that generative AI can successfully be sourced to play the teacher role in a collaborative role-playing activity. Crucially, the timing of AI intervention thereby emerged as an essential factor that can impair creative support. Scheduled AI interventions can offer fresh insights but may not align with immediate team needs. The insights underscore the requirement to determine the most effective timing for AI intervention in human-AI co-playing ideation sessions to foster the full potential of an AI filling a role in a collaborative design process. Implications synthesised from the analytical findings and practical insights on AI-suggested design propositions/conflicts are discussed conclusively.

Published: June 2024

Composites to create a food system of the W/O emulsion type with a maximum yield of coloring substances were determined. Refined deodorized sunflower oil, beet juice and its concentrates with a dry matter content of 12.23; 18.73; 30.12 and 64.61, a mixture of mono-, diglycerides and glycerin were studied. By gas chromatography, the mass fraction of fatty acid in sunflower oil was determined from the sum of saturated, mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, including palmitic (6.5%), oleic (20.9%), and linoleic (66.4%). The content of betanin, conformational changes in mono-, di- and polysaccharide components, and the presence of peptide structures were determined by spectrophotometric methods in beet juice and concentrates. Flow curves of composites for the emulsion were studied by rheometric methods, and interfacial tension was studied by the hanging drop method. To check the physical and sensory properties of the emulsion, the selected composites were dispersed: sufficient conditions for the process were set for its duration – 10 minutes at a rotation speed of 6000 rpm. It is shown that, to create a food emulsion W/O with stable color characteristics during storage, beet juice concentrates with a dry matter content of 64.61% and betanin 0.54% can be used as a dispersed phase. The critical concentration of micelle formation of the emulsion is achieved by adding 0.5% surfactant. The phenomenon of syneresis at a storage temperature of 4 ±0.5℃ for 30 days was not detected.
Hepatocardial relationships in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: issues of epidemiology, diagnosis, prognosis
Authors: Savzikhanova Renata R. , Subkhangulova Dinara Olegovna , Khazova Elena V.
Published: June 2024

World statistics indicate a steady increase in the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which correlates with the pandemics of obesity and diabetes, which are quite common in Russia. The commonality of cardiometabolic risk factors, the high global prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases generates the interest of researchers in studying hepatocardial relationships. Currently, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is positioned as a hepatic manifestation of a multisystem disorder, heterogeneous in underlying causes, manifestations, course and outcomes. The purpose of this review was to analyze hepatocardial relationships based on publications. 76 sources on the epidemiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, published from 2011–2023 in journals indexed in Pubmed and eLibrary, were analyzed. Age and gender aspects of the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were considered. The pathogenetic mechanisms of hepatocardial relationships, which were closely related to systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and its components, were highlighted. The criteria and methods for diagnosing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic-associated liver disease were outlined. Recent studies demonstrated the presence of hepatocardial connections, characterized by an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy and rhythm disturbances, changes in the structural and functional parameters and geometry of the heart, as well as diastolic dysfunction, which may precede and/or contribute to the development of chronic heart failure in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The article presents data on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as a new factor associated with the development of adverse cardiovascular events to a greater extent than the outcome of liver diseases themselves, which confirms the need for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases in this cohort of patients.

Published: June 2024

El objetivo de la presente investigación consiste en describir las desapariciones forzadas y las ejecuciones extrajudiciales durante la dictadura stronista (1954-1989) en el Paraguay. Consiste en la sistematización de los datos que se encuentra en el Tomo VIII, Parte 3 de la Comisión de Verdad y Justicia en formato de fichas. La metodología aplicada fue de diseño documental, tipo empírico-cuantitativa de alcance descriptivo considerando la caracterización que se realiza de las desapariciones forzadas y las ejecuciones extrajudiciales en el Estado paraguayo. Los resultados demuestran que en un periodo de 35 años de dictadura se produjeron 336 casos de desapariciones forzadas y 59 casos de ejecuciones extrajudiciales. En su mayoría las personas son de nacionalidad paraguaya y porcentaje menor de extranjeros. Las víctimas no conocían la causa de su detención y tampoco el tiempo que iban a permanecer detenidas; eran detenidas por la sola sospecha de pertenecer a una determinada asociación vinculada con el comunismo.

En la actualidad, se observa que las personas naturales incrementan significativamente el valor de su patrimonio, en muchos casos, dichos incrementos no tienen justificación alguna, por lo que omiten el pago de sus tributos, generando en el país una baja recaudación. El presente trabajo investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar los criterios que permiten la detección del incremento patrimonial no justificado en las personas naturales del Perú. La metodología aplicada fue de tipo cualitativo, diseño fenomenológico, tiene un muestreo no probabilístico basándose en las experiencias profesionales de tres expertos en materia tributaria. Obteniendo como resultado que la administración tributaria aplica ciertos criterios, clasificados en los siguientes rubros: sistema financiero, social, informalidad, fiscalización y digitalización. Siendo los criterios más resaltantes durante la pandemia COVID 19 el comercio electrónico y redes sociales, utilizados para generar ingresos y evadir impuestos. Se concluye que las personas naturales incurren en incremento patrimonial injustificado, por desconocimiento, porque no desean formalizarse o porque no cuentan con un equipo técnico contable que les oriente en los criterios antes mencionados. Se sugiere que la administración tributaria, deba fiscalizar a los nuevos criterios relacionados con la digitalización, para reducir el incremento patrimonial no justificado en el Perú.

Published: June 2024

INTRODUCCION: La pancreatitis aguda en su forma necrótica presenta una mortalidad estimada en 50% de los casos con cirugía y hasta 100% sin cirugía. MATERIALES: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo, transversal de pacientes con diagnóstico de pancreatitis aguda complicada en quienes se realizó necrosectomía videoasistida por vía retroperitoneal en el Hospital Nacional de Itauguá, periodo 2015 a 2021. RESULTADOS: 35 pacientes con una edad promedio e de 57 años, 60% fueron mujeres, 57,1% fue admitido con el diagnóstico de pancreatitis grave y 42,9% pancreatitis moderada. En 29 casos se realizó la colocación de drenaje percutáneo en primer lugar, en 6 casos los pacientes fueron intervenidos directamente con necrosectomía videoasistida. El tiempo entre la realización del drenaje y el debridamiento fue 65,5% entre la primera y tercera semana posterior. Dos tercios de los pacienter necesitaron un procedimiento quirúrgico adicional, como un segundo debridamiento videoasistido, colecistectomía o necrosectomía abierta. Se observó una mortalidad de 11,4%. CONCLUSION: El tratamiento de la pancreatitis necrotizante se ha alejado ahora del desbridamiento quirúrgico abierto a un tratamiento más conservador y enfoques mínimamente invasivos. El debridamiento retroperitoneal videoasistido arrojo relativos buenos resultados como escalón previo a la cirugía abierta, evitando así las complicaciones propias de una laparotomía.

The Brazilian prison system presents factors that can aggravate the health conditions, including mental, of people deprived of liberty and prison servers. The aim of this study was describing and comparing the sociodemographic, clinical and health characteristics of penitentiary servers and people deprived of liberty in two small prisons. This is a cross-sectional study approved by the Ethics Committee, Opinion N. 4.973.589. As results, it appears that most of both groups are male. Among the prisoners, there are smokers and 20.8% do not expose themselves to the sun, in addition to making use of medications such as analgesics and anti-inflammatories. The servers used only painkillers. Both groups use alcohol, have intestinal problems and do physical activity regularly. Regarding the physical symptoms most presented in both groups are: headaches and stomach, sleep poorly and tire easily. Already the symptom of nervousness was reported in both groups and sadness by 70.8% of people deprived of liberty. It is understood that these results are related to the characteristics of the institution; one, by the fact of being reclusive, and the other, by the labor activity of extreme attention and wakefulness. Thus, recognizing the profile of those who live in the prison system is necessary to plan care for these subjects

Published: June 2024

The disparities in gender representation within academic writing highlight pervasive social prejudices and inequalities, with male researchers predominating in both quantity and visibility, perpetuating a cycle of unequal representation. This imbalance limits the diversity of perspectives in intellectual discourse. However, there has been a noticeable increase in the representation of female authors, breaking traditional gender barriers. This research article aims to investigate gender disparities among first authors in medical literature concerning Menetrier's disease over the past 22 years. A cross-sectional study of 130 relevant publications from PubMed between January 2001 and December 2022 was conducted, analyzing the gender distribution of first authors using SPSS software. Results indicate that 70.7% of the articles had male first authors, with intermittent periods of female author prominence. While countries like China, Spain, and Italy showed relatively equitable gender ratios, others such as Japan, Turkey, India, and the Republic of Korea exhibited significant male dominance. However, no significant association between gender and country of authors was found. Despite these findings, limitations include potential errors in gender determination methods, focusing solely on first authorship, and overlooking contributions from co-authors, while the selected journals and countries may not fully represent global gender disparities.
Konkordatowo-ustawowa forma konsensualnej regulacji stosunków między Rzecząpospolitą Polską a Kościołem katolickim w świetle art. 25 ust. 4 Konstytucji z 1997 r.
Authors: Prokop Krzysztof
Published: June 2024

The article discusses possible directions of interpretation of Article 25(4) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. It constitutes (together with Article 25(5)) the basis for the constitutional principle of consensual regulation of relations between the state and churches and other religious organizations. In the case of the Roman Catholic Church, the formal and legal expression of the implementation of this principle is the validity of the Concordat of 1993, i.e. an international agreement concluded with the Holy See defining relations between the Republic of Poland and the Roman Catholic Church. The provisions of the Concordat are supplemented by statutes that should be adopted following the conclusion of a treaty, or at least an agreement, with the Polish Episcopal Conference. In a similar way, the relations between the Republic of Poland and other Churches and religious organizations are determined by statutes.

Published: June 2024

Numeracy is a skill that has begun to be paid attention to in recent years, including in Indonesia. When solving numeracy questions, students often find it difficult, especially if the stimuli used in the questions are unfamiliar to students. Teachers can bridge this by using numeracy questions starting with stimuli that the students are familiar with or are around the students. The aim of this research is to produce numeracy questions at the middle school level that are suitable for use. This research is Research and Development research with the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The instruments used in this research were interview guides and questionnaires. Question validation was carried out by providing draft questions to 2 experts in the field of mathematics education at State Universities in Central Java, Indonesia. Data was analyzed descriptively, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of this research show that references to numeracy questions are needed. After preparing the numeracy questions through the design and development process, it was discovered that the questions prepared received a score of 4.27 in the very good category from expert validators.

Published: June 2024

Geometry becomes an important component in mathematics which is learned by students at every stage. Learning style is one of the factors that influence students' geometry abilities. Therefore, it is important to describe how students' geometry abilities are viewed from learning styles. This research is quantitative descriptive research. The instruments used were a learning style questionnaire and a van hiele thinking test (VHGT). The data analysis technique used is descriptive statistical techniques with percentages, namely data from geometry tests that are successfully collected and then analyzed using a category assessment scale. The instruments used were the learning style questionnaire and the Van Hiele thinking test (VHGT). The research subjects were 276 high school students from eleven different schools in West Sumatra with the dominant learning style being visual as many as 104 students, followed by auditory as many as 98 and kinesthetic as many as 74. The results showed that the average students' geometric ability was 47.4 (on a scale of 0-100). In addition, students with a visual learning style have a higher average geometric ability compared to other learning styles. Therefore, it is hoped that teachers can consider using learning models that apply the Van Hiele level of thinking and the dominant learning style in geometry classes, for example by integrating technology.

Published: June 2024

Background: This study aimed to examine the quality of life and the factors that determine the quality of life of infertile couples.
Methods: The research was conducted as a cross-sectional study at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic "Narodni Front" in Belgrade, the Special Gynecology Hospital "Ferona" in Novi Sad, the Special Hospital for the Treatment of Sterility and In Vitro Fertilization "Spebo Medikal" in Leskovac and the General Hospital in Valjevo, Serbia in 2022, on a sample of 378 infertile couples. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire, the integral part of which is the standardized FertiQoL scale. Independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to determine differences. A value of P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Women achieve a significantly lower score on the quality-of-life questionnaire (69.34±11.05) compared to men (73.96±9.87). Women exhibit significantly lower scores in the area of physical, emotional and social functioning (P<0.05). Men who live in the countryside show a lower quality of life score in the emotional (P=0.029) and social (P=0.042) domains. In addition, men over 40 years of age and with a high level of education have a lower quality of life (P=0.08).
Conclusion: Women have a lower quality of life, as do men from rural areas and over 40 years of age. A multidisciplinary approach and community education, as well as the provision of social support with a special emphasis on emotional and material support, would significantly contribute to improving the quality of life of infertile couples.

Published: June 2024

Background: Brucellosis is one of the common diseases between humans and animals. We aimed to assess the annual incidence rate, the geographical distribution of Malta fever using GIS and its time trend.
Methods: This was an ecology study carried out in exploratory mixed design. The study population was the individuals with brucellosis in Iran during the years 2009-2018. Data analysis has been done using Joinpoint regression analysis and GIS at a significant level of α = 0.05.
Results: The average annual incidence rate of the disease rate was 19.91 per one hundred thousand people. The trend of the changes in the incidence between 2009 and 2018 has increased and the Annual Average Percent Change increased by 4.6%. However, a joinpoint was observed in 2014 and the incidence has changed significantly at this point in time, so that the annual incidence of the disease has increased more strongly between 2009 and 2014 (APC=17.1%) and then from 2014 to 2018, the incidence of the disease has decrease (APC=-9.2%). The spatial distribution showed that the western and northwestern provinces have high incidence rate, but the northern and southern provinces have low incidence rate.
Conclusion: The incidence of brucellosis in Iran is higher than in developed countries and similar to developing countries. Ten-year trend of disease incidence increased slightly, but it has decreased in recent years. It is necessary to improve the surveillance system and increase facilities for prevention and treatment in the high-risk areas including the west and northwest of Iran.

Published: June 2024

In this present study, the association between occupational exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) and serum level of Clara Cell Protein (CC16) was investigated in the form of a systematic review and meta-analysis. Various databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Sciences were searched until August 2022 based on Medical subject headings (MeSH) such as "CC10 protein, human" OR "Clara-cell specific 10-kD protein "OR "Clara cell phospholipid-binding protein human" AND Silicosis. Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) was used to compare the mean difference in CC16 serum levels between the silicotic and non-silicotic groups. During the initial database search until August 2022, 18 articles were found. By excluding duplicates and final screening in terms of compliance with the title and objectives, eight articles were included in our analysis. The overall effect estimate demonstrated that silicosis patients had lower serum level of CC16 (SMD:-3.58; 95% CI, from -5.14 to-2.3; I2 = 94.4% P-value<0.001) than that of the control group. Moreover, silicosis patients and exposed individuals had lower serum level of CC16 (SMD:-3.32; 95% CI, from -4.19 to -2.45; I2 = 88.6% P-value<0.001) compared to the control group. The silica exposure had a lower CC16 level (SMD:-1.92; 95% CI, from -4.22 to 0.39; I2 = 97.5% P-value<0.001) than the non-silicosis groups. The results demonstrated that occupational exposure to RCS is associated with the reduction of serum CC16 level. Therefore, the reduced serum level of CC16 protein can be used to monitor the maximum exposure level of workers to RCS in related workplaces

Authors: Ghanbari Zinat , Asadi Fatemeh , Amirlatifi Shahrzad , Shariat Mamak , Eftekhar Tahereh , Deldar Maryam , Vahdani Razieh
Published: June 2024

Objective: Voiding Dysfunction (VD) is one of the most common disorders among women, which is characterized by a disorder in urination. Pelvic organ prolapse is one of the factors that can affect VD. In this study, the relationship between prolapse in the anterior, posterior, and apical areas and VD has been evaluated.
Materials and methods: This is a cohort retrospective study. The participants in this study were women with VD, who referred to the pelvic floor disorders clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran in 2018-2020. Clinical information was obtained retrospectively from the hospital's electronic data system, also symptoms (intermittent stream, incomplete voiding, poor flow, post void dribble, straining to void, stage anterior, posterior and apical) and urodynamic parameters (including EMG, PVR100, Qmax12, and pdet20) were evaluated, which included detailed questionnaires (Urinary Distress Inventory 6 (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7)), pelvic examination, and complete urodynamic evaluation.
Results: There was a direct relationship between the age of the patients and the stage of prolapse (p<0.001). So that, the stage increased with age. In addition, it was found that the severity of urinary symptoms is related to the stage of prolapse in the apical area (p=0.001). Also, the results showed that intermittent stream symptoms and the symptoms of staining to void had a significant relationship with the stage of prolapse (III and IV) in the apical and anterior areas. Also, it was shown that only PVR > 100 had a significant relationship with the stage of prolapse in the apical area (p=0.001).
Conclusion: Intermittent stream and straining to void were related to the stages of prolapse in the apical and anterior regions. It was also concluded that the greater the prolapse, the higher the value of PVR > 100.

Authors: Arab Maliheh , Ashtiani Azadeh Jafari , Ghavami Behnaz , Nouri Behnaz , Noghabaei Giti , Raoufi Masoomeh
Published: June 2024

Objective: The standard surgery for endometrial cancer can be deferred in some situations, including morbid obesity, comorbidities, and the patient's desire for fertility. One of the options to improve patients' circumstances is bariatric surgery.
Case report: This study presented two patients with stage IA, grade I endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma. Both patients had morbid obesity and had comorbidities. In case 1, because of fertility preservation, and in case 2, because of severe comorbidities, hormone therapy was started, followed by bariatric surgery after counseling patients. Both patients had acceptable changes in body mass index during follow-up, so cancer surgery through laparoscopy was done. Both patients did not need adjuvant therapy; months after cancer surgery, there is no recurrence, and their body mass index is also decreasing.
Conclusion: Bariatric surgery can improve outcomes in patients with morbid obesity who suffer endometrial cancer.
Influence of Empirical and Dynamic Periods on the Seismic Responses of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Braced by L-Shaped Shear Walls
Authors: Khelladi Mohamed , Benyamina Smain , Merabti Salem
Published: June 2024

The Algerian Seismic Regulation of 1999, version 2003 (RPA99/v2003), presents ambiguities and a lack of thorough explanations in certain articles, which has led to a diversity of readings and interpretations among various stakeholders in the field, particularly the control offices. This situation has caused significant disagreements, especially during the approval of civil engineering files, thus resulting in a negative impact on project progress. To ensure adequate seismic protection of civil engineering structures, this work aims to unify the interpretations of certain passages of the regulation, with a particular emphasis on verifying the fundamental period of the structure, the shear forces at the base, and inter-story displacements using seismic calculation methods prescribed by the RPA. The comparative study demonstrates that no correlation between the period determined by the equivalent static method and that calculated by the spectral modal analysis method has been observed. This justifies the conclusion that adjusting between the empirical period and the dynamic period is not necessary.

A Pre-Audit Analysis in Tax Control: Legal Regulation Problems
Authors:   Lecturer of the Center for Tax Administration and Financial Management of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Chelnokov Dmitry M.
Published: June 2024

The article examines the problems of legal regulation of tax control that have arisen in connection with the use by tax authorities of new information technologies for checking taxpayers. As a result, it was concluded that the legislative regulation of the current practice of pre-verification analysis opens up the possibility for a transition to a model of partnership between tax authorities and taxpayers. This model is based on a special analytical stage of tax control, which is procedurally formalized by two final documents: (1) the notification of the tax authority on the facts of violation of tax legislation revealed as a result of the pre-verification analysis; (2) an agreement between the tax authority and the taxpayer on the recognition of the facts of incomplete reflection of financial and economic transactions in tax reporting and the acceptance by the taxpayer of an obligation to pay the corresponding amounts of tax to the budget.
