A Study on Temple Workshop in Hanam Region
Authors:   The Bukak Historical Society, Cha Soon-chul , Kim Sun
Published: August 2024

This study examined the types and characteristics of workshops found in the Cheonwangsa Temple Site and Dongsa Temple Site among the temples of the Three Kingdoms and Goryeo Dynasty periods in the Hanam region. In the workshop of Cheonwangsa Temple Site, a tile kiln, a charcoal kiln, a copper furnace, and remains of bell-casting facilities can be found in the space between the main hall and the lecture hall. From these remains, it is presumed that the workshop inside the temple's precinct during the temple's founding period was moved outside the temple site after the remodeling but continued to supply tile and charcoal. The Dongsa Temple Site workshop was constructed by digging the ground where buildings were built during the Unified Silla Period. A furnace presumed to have been used for iron production and remains of bell casting facilities were found. These workshops were operated temporarily to make roof tiles and dharma crafts needed at the temple's foundation. There is no trace that they were continued afterward. Considering the workshops' location, type, and operation, Cheonwangsa Temple shows the characteristics of a government office. It is presumed that Dongsa Temple was founded as a memorial temple sponsored by nobles. The workshops inside and around the two temple spaces are presumed to be auxiliary facilities that directly produce and supply items needed by the temples. It is deemed that professional craftsmen operated them. The operation of these workshops was related to the size of the temples. It shows the characteristic of a government office supported by the central or local government at the time, like the Seongjeon Sawon (temple with the government office in charge of construction, repair, and operation of temples) during the Unified Silla Dynasty.

Published: August 2024

The environmental problem of the Aral Sea has had a significant impact on Central Asia in the last fifty years, as a result, the most important factor of the emergence, spread of dust and sand storms and the spread of polluting particles in the regions leads to negative changes in climate indicators. The formation of dust and sand storms is directly related to various climatic elements such as heat, rain, wind formation conditions, pressure, air humidity and solar radiation. As a result of the occurrence of the above conditions, the level of drought in the regions will increase, causing a change in temperature, a change in wind speed, and an increase in the direction of the wind, which will lead to an increase in dust and sand storms. It is observed that the formation of dust and sand storms in the conditions of climate change on the earth, changes in the distribution conditions increase the range of negative effects and lead to other unexpected consequences. The construction of mathematical models of the processes of formation and diffusion of pollutants into the atmosphere is carried out under certain conditions, restrictions and assumptions that do not contradict the physical nature of these processes and the basic laws of conservation of energy, momentum and mass. it also meets the required accuracy of solving specific theoretical or practical problems. Therefore, as in many other areas, the optimal way to solve this problem is to use mathematical modeling methods.

The Subversion of the American Warrior-Hero Archetype in Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter (1978)
Authors: FAYE Louis Mathias
Published: August 2024

This article examines the complexities of social experience drawn from popular mythology for reconstructing the Vietnam War. It relates to issues on the construct of the warrior-hero in its American setting. The study focuses on Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter, which depicts Mike as a heroic figure, setting out to conquer the wilderness by killing a deer with one shot. The act of killing is a rite of passage to manhood and the hunt is a spiritual endeavor. He is cast in the role of a western hero and leader of his friends, Nick and Steven. Mike attempts to dominate nature with his heroic deeds. This paper also unveils the reversal of American cultural ideology of masculinity when the main character comes into contact with Vietnam, which is a hostile frontier landscape. However, he is disillusioned because of the chaotic nightmare inversion of the environment. Despite his dreams of omnipotence, he dramatically collapses there. The US mythology is undermined by the encounter with the horrors of war in Vietnam. The realities of the battlefield foreshadow the crisis of cultural and religious myths Mike embodies.

OMR Automated Grading
Authors: Singh K. Janardhan , Kulkarni Sanjay , B Patil Sanket , M Shashank , UN Shashanka
Published: August 2024

The paper highlights the necessity for a technologically advanced system capable of efficiently grading multiple-choice question (MCQ) exams through webcam-based evaluation. MCQ-style assessments have gained widespread use in educational and organizational settings due to their effectiveness and time-saving advantages. However, manually grading these exams presents significant challenges. Managing a large number of answer sheets in a timely manner is labor-intensive and error-prone, potentially leading to scoring discrepancies. Additionally, the logistical burden of storing and handling physical answer sheets is cumbersome, with risks such as damage from environmental factors like fire or moisture. While larger institutions may utilize specialized Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) technology for grading, smaller educational entities often lack access to such costly equipment. To address these challenges, the paper proposes an innovative solution: leveraging webcam technology to automate the grading process. By capturing images of answer sheets and employing sophisticated content-filtering and image processing algorithms facilitated by the OpenCV library, the system can accurately interpret and evaluate marked answers. Overall, the proposed system represents a significant advancement in exam grading methodology, providing a practical and cost-effective solution to the longstanding challenges associated with manual grading of MCQ-based assessments. By integrating webcam technology into the grading process, the system aims to enhance efficiency and accuracy while catering to the needs of various educational and organizational assessments.

Asymptotics of the Humbert Function $\Psi_1$ for Two Large Arguments
Authors:   Donghua University, P.R. China, Hang Peng-Cheng , Luo Min-Jie ,   Donghua University, P.R. China
Published: August 2024

Recently, Wald and Henkel (2018) derived the leading-order estimate of the Humbert functions $\Phi_2$, $\Phi_3$ and $\Xi_2$ for two large arguments, but their technique cannot handle the Humbert function $\Psi_1$. In this paper, we establish the leading asymptotic behavior of the Humbert function $\Psi_1$ for two large arguments. Our proof is based on a connection formula of the Gauss hypergeometric function and Nagel's approach (2004). This approach is also applied to deduce asymptotic expansions of the generalized hypergeometric function $_pF_q$ $(p\leqslant q)$ for large parameters, which are not contained in NIST handbook.

Cyanosporus is a cosmopolitan genus characterized by effused-reflexed to pileate basidiomata with a bluish tint and allantoid to cylindrical basidiospores which are negative to weakly positive in Melzer’s reagent and Cotton Blue, causing a brown rot. Three new species of Cyanosporus, namely, C. linzhiensis, C. miscanthi and C. tabuliformis are described and illustrated. Phylogenies on Cyanosporus are reconstructed with seven loci DNA sequences including ITS, nLSU, nSSU, mtSSU, RPB1, RPB2 and TEF1 based on phylogenetic analyses combined with morphological examination. The description for the new species is given. The main morphological characteristics of all 38 accepted species in Cyanosporus are summarized.
Knowledge Acquisition and Retention in a Flipped Nursing Course: A Quasiexperimental Study
Authors: NG Emily Ka Lai
Published: August 2024

Background:

Student knowledge acquisition and retention are essential in nursing training. This study examined differences in content knowledge acquisition and retention between traditional and flipped classroom (FC) formats.

Method:

A pretest-posttest quasiexperimental design with a follow-up test was used for this study of associate degree nursing students in a Hong Kong community college. The control group (
n
= 141) included nursing students in a traditional classroom (TC) setting before COVID-19 compared with nursing students in an FC (
n
= 130) setting during the pandemic. The effects were evaluated before the course, postcourse, and 3 months after the course.

Results:

Content knowledge scores for both groups improved after the course. Students in the FC performed better in the short-term (posttest immediately after the course) and long-term (follow-up-test 3 months later) than students in the TC.

Conclusion:

Implementing the FC method effectively promoted students' knowledge acquisition and retention.

Utilizing Artificial Intelligence–Based Tools for Addressing Clinical Queries: ChatGPT Versus Google Gemini
Authors: Labrague Leodoro J.
Published: August 2024

Background:

Artificial intelligence (AI)–based text generators, such as ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Google Bard (now Google Gemini), have demonstrated proficiency in predicting words and providing responses to various questions. However, their performance in answering clinical queries has not been well assessed. This comparative analysis aimed to assess the capabilities of ChatGPT and Google Gemini in addressing clinical questions.

Method:

Separate interactions with ChatGPT and Google Gemini were conducted to obtain responses to the clinical question, posed in a PICOT (patient, intervention, comparison, outcome, time) format. To ascertain the accuracy of the information provided by the AI chat bots, a thorough examination of full-text articles was conducted.

Results:

Although ChatGPT exhibited relative accuracy in generating bibliographic information, it displayed some inconsistencies in clinical content. Conversely, Google Gemini generated citations and summaries that were entirely fabricated.

Conclusion:

Despite generating responses that may appear credible, both AI-based tools exhibited factual inaccuracies, raising substantial concerns about their reliability as potential sources of clinical information.

Promoting Academic Success in Nursing Education Through Academic Coaching: A Scoping Review
Authors: Mingo Sharon Rose , Fitch Olivia , Tierney Lindsay , Nesbitt Debora
Published: August 2024

Background:

Academic support services can improve undergraduate and graduate nursing program outcomes such as program completion and passing the NCLEX. Academic success coaching complements traditional support strategies by providing study skills and time management tools, promoting goal setting and self-efficacy, and referring students to support resources. This review examined interventions that academic success coaches use to improve student success and retention, licensing examination pass rates, and academic success.

Method:

A scoping literature review identified types of interventions that resulted in significant improvement in student academic and holistic success.

Results:

Four classes of interventions were identified as effective in supporting student success: (1) academic support; (2) social and emotional support; (3) clinical guidance; and (4) course and program design.

Conclusion:

Academic coaches are educated to identify student needs, provide support, and refer students to resources to improve academic outcomes. Future research should evaluate the need for academic success coaches to promote academic nursing student success.

The KERATO Biomechanics Study 1: A Comparative Evaluation Using Brillouin Microscopy and Dynamic Scheimpflug Imaging
Authors: Vinciguerra Riccardo , Palladino Sara , Herber Robert , Romano Mario R. , Vinciguerra Paolo
Published: August 2024

Purpose:

To assess the corneal biomechanical properties in normal individuals and patients with keratoconus using the Brillouin optical scanning system (Intelon Optics) (BOSS) and compare them with ultra-high-speed Scheimpflug imaging (Corvis ST; Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH).

Methods:

Sixty eyes from 60 patients (30 normal and 30 keratoconus) were included in this prospective, single-center, comparative, non-interventional study. Corneal biomechanics were evaluated using the Corvis ST and the BOSS. With the BOSS, each corneal image was acquired three times, measuring 10 locations within an 8-mm diameter. Parameters extracted included mean, maximum, and minimum Brillouin shift. These 10 points were also grouped into superior, central, and inferior regions. BOSS repeatability was assessed using the coefficient of repeatability and coefficient of variation. Furthermore, normal individuals and patients with keratoconus were compared using the Corvis ST and BOSS.

Results:

The BOSS exhibited good repeatability, with coefficient of repeatability ranging from 0.098 to 0.138 GHz for single points in normal individuals and 0.096 to 0.149 GHz for patients with keratoconus. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between normal individuals and patients with keratoconus, indicating softer corneas in keratoconus, observed with both the Corvis ST and BOSS. Specifically, the BOSS showed significant differences in mean, inferior, and superior mean, maximum, and minimum Brillouin frequency shift (all
P
< .05), whereas the Corvis ST displayed highly significant differences in stiffness parameter at first applanation, stress strain index, deformation amplitude ratio, and inverse integrated radius (all
P
< .001).

Conclusions:

Corneal biomechanical measurements proved highly repeatable and effectively demonstrated significant differences between normal individuals and patients with keratoconus using both the BOSS and the Corvis ST.

Impact and Correction of an Anterior Phakic Intraocular Lens on Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Biometry
Authors: Barbosa Ribeiro Bruno , Monteiro Sílvia , Heitor Marques João , Abreu Ana Carolina , Pinto Maria do Céu
Published: August 2024

Purpose:

To evaluate the impact of anterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) biometric measurements and IOL power calculation.

Methods:

This retrospective analysis of 67 eyes of 49 patients with previous anterior chamber pIOL implantation analyzed the accuracy of automatic segmentation of the anterior surface of the crystalline lens and its impact on anterior chamber depth (ACD, measured from epithelium to lens), lens thickness measurements, and IOL power calculation. The sample was divided into two groups: correct detection of the anterior surface of the crystalline lens and inaccurate detection. Segmentation of eyes from the inaccurate detection group was manually corrected and ACD and lens thickness were calculated using ImageJ software. IOL power was calculated using 7 formulas for both measurements.

Results:

The anterior surface of the crystalline lens was mis-identified in 13 (19.4%) eyes. ACD was underestimated (Δ −0.85 ± 0.33 mm,
P
< .001) and lens thickness was overestimated (Δ +0.81 ± 0.25 mm,
P
< .001). Manual correction changed the target spherical equivalent only in the Haigis formula (
P
= .009). After correction for segmentation bias, the Pearl DGS, Cooke K6, and EVO 2.0 formulas showed the lowest prediction error, with the Pearl DGS showing greatest accuracy within ±1.00 diopters of prediction error range (81.0%).

Conclusions:

SS-OCT biometry misidentifies the anterior surface of the crystalline lens in a significant proportion, resulting in significant IOL power calculation error in the Haigis formula. Manual proofing of segmentation is mandatory in every patient with anterior chamber pIOL implantation. After correct segmentation, the Pearl DGS, Cooke K6, and EVO seem to be the best formulas.

The Inpatient Management of Adolescents with Eating Disorders
Authors: Shook Jennifer , Brady-Olympia Jodi
Published: August 2024

Eating disorders affect individuals of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, races, and socioeconomic statuses. They can lead to serious medical complications that require inpatient treatment. The eating disorders that are most likely to lead to medical complications requiring medical inpatient stabilization include anorexia nervosa, atypical anorexia nervosa, avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder, bulimia nervosa, and purging disorder. There are criteria that can help determine if a patient requires inpatient stabilization. Nearly all body systems may be affected. Patients are often treated by following a refeeding protocol that reduces the risk of developing refeeding syndrome, a dangerous and life-threatening state of metabolic derangements that can arise when a malnourished individual begins a renourishment process. Following stabilization, patients should receive further care through a number of different treatment options directed at their underlying eating disorder and by working with a multidisciplinary team.

Central Nervous System Histoplasmosis After Acute COVID-19 in An Adolescent
Authors: Mayhew Jonathan A. , Tat Kiet , Harris Matthew E. , Wheat Joseph , Christenson John C. , Wood James B.
Published: August 2024

Central nervous system histoplasmosis is a serious complication of a common endemic mycosis, but it is rare in immunocompetent hosts. SARS-CoV-2 has introduced significant challenges into the healthcare setting with overlapping clinical presentations that may delay the diagnosis of alternative conditions. Additionally, it may lead to immune dysregulation and increase the risk for secondary infections, including invasive fungal diseases. Limited reports have described disseminated histoplasmosis in adults associated with COVID-19, but none have described central nervous system infection or complications in pediatric patients. We report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis involving the central nervous system in a previously healthy 13-year-old male with SARS-CoV-2 infection. An extensive immunological evaluation did not identify an underlying immunodeficiency. We highlight the potential of COVID-19 immune dys-regulation to contribute to the development or progression of invasive fungal disease.
