Authors: Wong Lai Yin , Toh Matthias PHS
Published: November 2022

Introduction: To study the understanding and perceived vulnerability of diabetes mellitus among Singapore residents, and determine the predictors associated with screening for diabetes mellitus among the people without the condition.

Materials and Methods: A population-based survey was conducted from December 2004 to October 2005 involving Singapore residents aged 15 to 69 years. Using a standard questionnaire, Health Survey Officers interviewed household members on their understanding and perceived vulnerability of diabetes mellitus and associated cardiovascular risk factors. Data were analysed using SPSS v13.

Results: The response rate was 84.5%. Of 2,632 respondents, 291 (11.1%) have diabetes mellitus. Compared to respondents without diabetes, respondents with the disease had better understanding of diabetes and they had favourable health practice of screening for cardiovascular risk factors. Having diabetes mellitus was not associated with a healthier lifestyle. Among non-diabetics, those who had a family history of diabetes had better knowledge and health practices than those who had not. They were significantly more likely to recognise the symptoms and signs (61.5% vs 54.5%) and the causes of diabetes (70% vs 58.2%); and were more likely to have ever tested for diabetes (76.1% vs 60.4%), with P <0.001. Socio-demographic characteristics, family history, understanding and perception on the vulnerability of diabetes were identified as predictors associated with health screening for the disease.

Conclusion: Among all respondents, better understanding was found to be associated with favourable health-preventive behaviours. However, it did not translate into healthier lifestyle. Cultural and socio-demographic profiles must be factored in for any effort on lifestyle modifications.

Authors: Hao Loi Tsuan , Tham Kum Ying
Published: November 2022

Aim: To determine the views of new house officers (HO) on professionalism and unprofessional behaviour following dismissal in January 2007 of a HO who was caught video-taping nurses in the shower. Methods: An anonymous self-administered questionnaire was administered during new house officers’ orientation. Using a Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree), HO were asked to rank statements regarding teaching and their understanding of professionalism and professional behaviour, role model-clinicians, their response to 3 real-life examples of unprofessional behaviour, and dismissal and Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration of the sacked HO. Participation was voluntary. Results: Twenty-eight out of twenty-nine (96.6%) international medical graduates (IMG) and 84/95 (88%) house officers who graduated from National University of Singapore (NUS) responded. Their median age was 24 years and 63 of them were male. All IMG compared to 63.1% NUS HO agreed that professionalism was well taught in their medical school (P <0.0001). Majority (82.1%) of IMG compared to 67.9% NUS HO agreed they had adequate role model-clinicians exemplifying professionalism (P <0.0001). Majority (90.8%) of the respondents agreed that the sacked HO’s behaviour was not pardonable, a smaller proportion (83.9%) agreed with dismissal but only half (52.7%) agreed that SMC should not register the sacked HO. Conclusion: In this study, only two-thirds of NUS HO felt that professionalism was well taught and they had adequate role models. NUS should review this aspect of medical education. Majority of HO agreed with the dismissal but only half felt the misdemeanour was serious enough for SMC not to register the sacked HO. Key words: House officers, Professionalism
Global Trends in Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery – An Opportunity or a Threat?
Authors: Molina Joseph Antonio D , Heng Bee Hoon
Published: November 2022

Coronary heart disease is currently the leading cause of death globally, and is expected to account for 14.2% of all deaths by 2030. The emergence of novel technologies from cardiothoracic surgery and interventional cardiology are welcome developments in the light of an overwhelming chronic disease burden. However, as these complementary yet often competing disciplines rely on expensive technologies, hastily prepared resource plans threaten to consume a substantial proportion of limited healthcare resources. By describing procedural and professional trends as well as current and emerging technologies, this review aims to provide useful knowledge to help managers make informed decisions for the planning of cardiovascular disease management. Since their inception, developments in both specialties have been very rapid. Owing to differences in patient characteristics, interventions and outcomes, results of studies comparing cardiothoracic surgery and interventional cardiology have been conflicting. Outcomes for both specialties continue to improve through the years. Despite the persistent demand for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) as a rescue procedure following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), there is a widening gap between the numbers of PCI and CABG. Procedural volumes seem to have affected career choices of physicians. Emerging technologies from both disciplines are eagerly awaited by the medical community. For long-term planning of both disciplines, conventional health technology assessment methods are of limited use due to their rapid developments. In the absence of established prediction tools, planners should tap alternative sources of evidence such as changes in disease epidemiology, procedural volumes, horizon scan reports as well as trends in disease outcomes.

Eşit gözetim ilkesi, bir eylemin ahlaki anlamda doğruluğuna karar verirken eylemden etkilenenlerin benzer çıkarlarını gözetmeyi gerektirir. İnsan harici hayvanların da hissedebilir varlıklar olması sebebiyle bu değerlendirmeye dahil edilmesi hayvan etiğinin temellerinden biridir. Ancak bazı kuramcılar insan harici hayvanların gerek yasal anlamda gerekse halihazırdaki toplumsal normlar bağlamında mülk olarak konumlandırılmalarının hayvanların ahlaki bakımdan kayda değer bir biçimde gözetilmelerine engel teşkil ettiğini öne sürmektedir. Buradan yola çıkarak, eşit gözetimin mümkün olabilmesi için insan harici hayvanların mülk statülerinin kaldırılmasını ve “başkasının mülkü olmama hakkı” olarak tanımladıkları hakkın tüm hissedebilir varlıklar için bir temel hak olarak tanınmasını önermektedirler. Bu makalede, insan harici hayvanların mülk statüsünün kaldırılması yönündeki argümanlar ve bu argümanlara getirilen eleştiriler detaylı bir şekilde ele alınacaktır.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: The COVID-19 mortality rate in Sorong City has increased in recent months. One of the risk factors that can affect the mortality rate of COVID-19 is underlying disease or comorbid. Comorbid diseases can aggravate patients who are positive for COVID-19. Comorbid diseases such as heart and metabolic, acute inflammation, and decreased organ function (heart, kidneys, liver, and hematology) experienced by patients at the beginning of treatment can increase the risk of death due to COVID-19 infection. Some of the most common comorbid diseases found in Sorong City are hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease.Methods: This research is an analytical observation using a case-control study design. The study population is 140 COVID-19 patients in Sorong City, divided into two groups: 70 for the case group and 70 for the control. The data were analyzed using the odds ratio (OR) to see the relationship between comorbidities and the mortality rate of COVID-19 patients.Results: We found an OR value of 7,794, an upper limit value of 3,670, and a lower limit value of 16,553. This shows that COVID-19 patients with comorbidities have a greater mortality risk of 7,794 times more than patients who do not have comorbidities.Conclusion: Comorbid diseases are a risk factor for the mortality rates of COVID-19 patients in Sorong city.

Robust Watermarking Method for Secure Transmission of Medical Images in EHR Systems
Authors: Daham Abderrahmane , ouslim Mohamed
Published: November 2022

Confidentiality of Electronic Health Record (EHR) and privacy are two important security requirements for healthcare systems. Many devices on the EHR network utilize little or no encryption, which makes data in transit vulnerable to exploitative attacks, such as Man-in-the-Middle and other filtration methods. Recently, watermarking algorithms as an efficient response to these requirements is in the underline. In this paper, we present a robust watermarking method conceived as part of an Electronic Health Record platform. In this method a chaotic encryption and blind medical image watermarking technique was incorporated into the system as an authorization mechanism to ensure confidentiality and integrity of electronic health information. We present a hybrid watermarking method based on a combination of discrete wavelet transform (DWT), hessenberg Decomposition (HD), Singular value decomposition (SVD) and an original chaos crypto system based on the Arnold Transform (AT) of Singular Value Decomposition. In order to spread the robustness of our algorithm and provide additional security, an improved SVD-AT embedding and extraction procedure has been used to scramble the EHR data in the preprocessing step of the proposed method. In the process of watermark embedding, an R-level discrete wavelet transform was applied to the host image. The low frequency wavelet coefficients are selected to carry this scrambled-watermark. In extraction process, the stored used plain image is obtained from the trusted authority server to complete the verification process. The receiver should compare the unsigned watermark with the extracted watermark again. The verification can be done before clinical procedures and diagnosis. The proposed watermarking method endures entirety attacks and rightly extracts the hidden watermark without significant degradation in the image quality, thus, when the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Normalized Correlation (NC) performance of the proposed algorithm is performed.

The growth of big-data sectors such as the Internet of Things (IoT) generates enormous volumes of data. As IoT devices generate a vast volume of time-series data, the Time Series Database (TSDB) popularity has grown alongside the rise of IoT. Time series databases are developed to manage and analyze huge amounts of time series data. However, it is not easy to choose the best one from them. The most popular benchmarks compare the performance of different databases to each other but use random or synthetic data that applies to only one domain. As a result, these benchmarks may not always accurately represent real-world performance. It is required to comprehensively compare the performance of time series databases with real datasets. The experiment shows significant performance differences for data injection time and query execution time when comparing real and synthetic datasets. The results are reported and analyzed.

Features play an important role in representing classes in the hierarchy structure, and using unsuitable features will affect classification performance. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) approach provides the ability to create the appropriate features to represent data. DWT can produce global and local features using different wavelet families and decomposition levels. These two parameters are essential to obtain a suitable representation for classes in the hierarchy structure. This study proposes using a particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm to select the suitable wavelet family and decomposition level for G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) hierarchical class representation. The results indicate that the PSO algorithm mostly selects Biorthogonal wavelets and decomposition level 2 to represent GPCR protein. Concerning the performance, the proposed method achieved an accuracy of 97.9%, 85.9%, and 77.5% at the family, subfamily, and sub-subfamily levels, respectively.

Published: November 2022

Representing a board game’s state space, actions, and transition model by text-based notation enables a wide variety of NLP applications suited to the strengths of language models. These few shot language models can help gain insight into a variety of interesting problems such as learning the rules of a game, detecting player behavior patterns, player attribution, and ultimately learning the game in an unsupervised manner. In this study, we firstly applied the BERT model to the simple combinatorial Nim game to analyze BERT’s performance in the varying presence of noise. We analyzed the model’s performance versus three agents, namely Nim Guru, a Random player, and a Q-learner. Secondly, we applied the BERT model to the game of chess through a large set of high ELO stockfish games with exhaustive encyclopedia openings. Finally, we have shown that model practically learns the rules of the Nim and chess, and have shown that it can competently play against its opponent and in some interesting conditions win.
A Grammatically and Structurally Based Part of Speech (POS) Tagger for Arabic Language
Authors: Elhadi Mohamed Taybe , Alfared Ramadan Sayad
Published: November 2022

In this paper we report on an experimental syntactically and morphologically driven rule-based Arabic tagger. The tagger is developed using Arabic language grammatical rules and regulations. The tagger requires no pre-tagged text and is developed using a primitive set of lexicon items along with extensive grammatical and structural rules. It is tested and compared to Stanford tagger both in terms of accuracy and performance (speed). Obtained results are quite comparable to Stanford tagger performance with marginal difference favoring the developed tagger in accuracy with huge difference in terms of speed of execution. The newly developed tagger named MTE Tagger has been tested and evaluated. For the evaluation of its accuracy of tagging, a set of Arabic text was manually prepared and annotated. Compared to Stanford tagger, the MTE tagger performance was quite comparable. The developed tagger makes use of no pre-annotated datasets, except of some simple lexicon consisting of list of words representing closed word types like demonstrative nouns or pronouns or some particles. For the purpose of evaluation of the new tagger, it was run on multiple datasets and results were compared to those of Stanford tagger. In particular, both taggers (the MTE and the Stanford) were run on a set of 1226 sentences with close to 20,000 tokens that was human annotated and verified to serve as testbed. The results were very encouraging where in both test runs, the MTE tagger outperformed the Stanford tagger in terms of accuracy of 87.88% versus 86.67% for the Stanford tagger. In terms of speed of tagging and in comparison Stanford tagger, MTE Taggers’ performance was on average 1:50. More improved accuracy is possible in future work as the set of rules are further optimized, integrated and more of Arabic language properties such as end of word discretization are used.

Investigation of the causes of land surface temperature changes in Khorramabad
Authors: KHAMESİ-MAYBODİ Mohammad Hassan
Published: November 2022

development of remote sensing applications has led to their use in a wide range of environmental studies. One of these aspects is urban studies and especially land surface temperature. In this study, the changes in land surface temperature in the Khorramabad city in Iran were investigated and the causes of land temperature changes were investigated. For this purpose, Landsat satellite images were processed in four periods of 2000, 2007, 2014 and 2021 and were recovered using a single-channel surface temperature algorithm. Temperatures were high in 2000 due to the type of roofs of buildings and the dirt around the city. Decreased in 2007 and 2014 due to the use of roofs that reflect light. In 2021, due to severe manipulations around the city and the destruction of vegetation and change it into built-up bare soil cover caused the temperature to rise again in the suburbs.
Exploring pre-service pre-school teachers’ perceptions of the nature of science: A qualitative study
Authors: TANIK ÖNAL Nagihan , SÖNMEZ ERYAŞAR Arzu
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine pre-service pre-school teachers’ understanding of the nature of science. In this study, phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. A total of 36 pre-service pre-school teachers who were studying in the fourth grade of a university in Turkey in the Preschool Teaching Department of the Faculty of Education in the 2020-2021 spring semester participated in the research. A questionnaire consisting of ten open-ended questions was used in the study. The data were analyzed by content analysis. As a result of this research, it was observed that pre-service pre-school teachers mostly did not have sufficient views on the examined dimensions of the nature of science and they had misconceptions. Based on the results of the research, it can be suggested that postgraduate education, in-service training and workshops focused on the nature of science will be beneficial for teachers and pre-service teachers. In addition, it may be suggested to improve the courses on the nature of science and scientific inquiry and/or add such courses to the undergraduate program. It can be suggested that the courses on the nature of science should be given not only at the undergraduate level, but also in other teaching levels in accordance with the grade level.

Gifted and talented learners exhibit personality characteristics that make them manifest different competencies to undertake tasks that their peers cannot. However, in Nairobi County, learning competencies of talented and gifted pupils in public primary schools are below average. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between achievement motivation characteristics and academic achievement among gifted and talented learners in public primary schools in Nairobi County. The study adopted a field survey research design. Target population comprised 3,247 teachers and 19,863 learners in classes VI-VIII totalling 23, 110 participants from which a sample of 391 respondents was determined using Yamane’s Formula. Stratified sampling was used to create 17 strata based on number of sub-counties in Nairobi County. From each sub-county, 13 teachers and 10 gifted and talented learners in classes were randomly selected. This procedure realized a sample of 221 teachers and 170 gifted and talented learners in classes VI-VIII. Questionnaires were used to collect data from teachers and learners. A pilot study was conducted among 40 respondents from a sample of public primary schools in Nairobi County to establish validity and reliability. Validity was ascertained based on the views of experts in educational psychology and special needs. Reliability was determined using split-half technique and reliability coefficient, r = 0.725, was obtained using Cronbach’s Alpha Method which indicated high reliability. Qualitative data were analysed thematically along the objectives and presented thematically in narrative forms. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively using frequencies and percentages and inferentially using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Analysis with the help of Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS 23) to test the hypotheses. Quantitative findings were presented using tables and charts. Results indicated that gifted learners in Nairobi County public schools benefitted from achievement motivation. Analysis of the results addressing H0: showed that achievement motivation has a statistically significant influence on academic achievement among gifted and talented learners in public primary schools in Nairobi County. The variable is positively correlated with number work activities (r = .581, p = .001), language activities (r = .556, p = .002), and essential life skills (r = .514, p = .004). It was recommended that Teachers and parents should create an appropriate learning environment for gifted pupils in public schools to create a positive self-concept, motivation, regulated learning, and problem-solving approach to improve their academic achievement.
