Published: April 2024

For a wide range of complex systems, tasks such as selection of control options for various technological processes, selection of performers for assigned tasks, and determi-nation of authorship are resolved through classification and diagnosis of incomplete data regarding states and conditions of operation. The relevant problems include forming ad-equate mathematical models of classification procedures and establishing their correct-ness, completeness, and reliability of results. This article focuses on investigating the properties and development of intellectual management models for complex systems un-der conditions of data uncertainty based on classification procedures using reduction methods and Cohen's kappa statistics. It is noted that the application of these methods ensures reliable resolution of classification tasks considering the assessment of the max-imum model dimensionality. Additionally, the possibilities of improving Hamming neural networks intended for data classification tasks in formats of fuzzy values and certainty factors CF(A) were explored. The features of the proposed enhanced mathematical model for fuzzy classification tasks based on a set of feature templates defining the classes of objects under analysis were identified. The article also discusses the peculiarities of the mathematical model of classifi-cation designed for the task of determining the authorship of Ukrainian-language works (UAW). The characteristics of the UAW task and its implementation based on a fuzzy classification model include the absence of requirements regarding the number of stages in the authorship determination procedure, the unnecessary formation of a unified classi-fication model for UAW tasks for any possible input works, and the absence of the need to transform template models when introducing new data or works into the model. The listed features of classification procedures are accounted for in the reduction and Cohen's kappa procedures outlined in the article. To implement and study classification tasks of complex system parameters under conditions of uncertain data, appropriate software was developed. The article presents the structure of the software complex for information technology management of per-former assignment/selection, as well as the task of determining authorship of Ukrainian-language works based on classification of sets of templates with certain fuzzy features. The software complex utilizes reduction and kappa statistics procedures.
Accepted 17.04.2024. Assessment of ESP32 microcontroller compliance with international standards of cyber security for internet of things
Authors: V.B. Mazurenko
Published: April 2024

Internet of Things becomes more and more accessible for ordinary people. This fact brings cybersecurity threats. Thus there is necessity to assess how microcontroller plat-forms that are quite popular for producing home IoT system are really secure. One of such platforms is ESP32. This study has an aim to asses ESP32 cybersecurity level. Meth-od of assessment is analyzing how international standard requirements are fulfilled by ESP32 microcontroller platform. The ETSI standard ETSI EN 303 645 V2.1.1 «Cyber Se-curity for Consumer Internet of Things: Baseline Requirements» is chosen as a base. In particular, the “Cyber security provisions for consumer IoT” requirements was consid-ered. First of all, those requirements are under analyze that depend only on platform (mi-crocontroller, OS, API, manufacturer support) performance and not on IoT-system de-signers or consumers. The following topics are covered: means to manage reports of vul-nerabilities, keeping software updated, securely storing sensitive security parameters, secure communication, and protecting personal data. Generally, it is concluded that the ESP32 microcontroller meets the cybersecurity standards of the Internet of Things, and ESP32 cybersecurity level should be considered as a quite high to produce a regular, household IoT system. The non-compliance with European standard ETSI EN 303 645 is only in relation to vulnerability reporting controls, as the ESP32 manufacturer does not publish its vulnerability disclosure policy. But on the other hand, the NIST database in-cludes a description of some recorded ESP32 vulnerabilities. Management of these vul-nerabilities is performed by the microcontroller manufacturer in the usual procedure and it is completed by the release of a new version of the software. Thus, the real cybersecu-rity level of home IoT system on the base of ESP32 will depend on how correctly hardware and software design is, and does an IoT system operation is provided in accordance with the cybersecurity standards.

Published: April 2024

The growth of data volumes due to the intensive development of information tech-nology creates a need for highly efficient methods of data processing and analysis for the effective management of various types of organizations, as well as for strategic planning and market competitiveness. Such methods of data processing and analysis are methods of data mining. One of the most promising areas of application of data mining methods is in the education sector. The development of e-learning systems and the introduction of digital technologies into the traditional educational process leads to the emergence of large amounts of information, which are studied by the intellectual analysis of educa-tional data (IAED), a scientific discipline related to the application of data mining meth-ods to information produced by educational institutions. The relevance of the topic is due to the need to improve the quality of the educational process by identifying hidden pat-terns in the array of educational data, and the need for further development of this area in modern conditions is shown. The paper shows that among the available software, Orange technologies are effec-tive and easy to use, the main purpose of which is to make complex analytical methods accessible to a wide range of users, including those who do not have deep knowledge of programming or statistics. As an example, a scheme for analyzing educational data is built to demonstrate the effective use of the Orange visual programming tool for researching educational data us-ing data mining methods, which allows specialists in the field of education to conduct a qualitative analysis and then use the results obtained in developing strategies to ensure an effective learning process and educational development.

Authors: Chang Ling-Yun , Peltz Tim S , Parr William CH , Walsh William R , Hunt Jeremy
Published: April 2024

**Background**: ATX-101 (deoxycholic acid injection) causes irreversible adipocytolysis and has been studied in multiple clinical trials. It is a Therapeutic Goods and Administration (TGA) approved treatment for minimally invasive reduction of excess submental fat. We present a case series of four consecutive patients who underwent serial ATX-101 (treatment sessions). **Methods**: Each patient underwent between three and four injection sessions with ATX-101 according to manufacturer’s recommendations, spaced six weeks apart. High resolution 3D surface scans were performed pre- and post-ATX-101 treatment and a FACE-Q survey was also completed pre- and post-treatment. **Results**: The submental profiles for each patient were analysed pre- and post-treatment. These demonstrated a mean reduction of the maximum submental fat pad thickness of 4 mm. FACE-Q surveys showed improvement in patient satisfaction in their submental ap-pearance. Apart from pain associated with the injection of ATX-101, we did not encounter other adverse reactions in our patient group.**Conclusions**: This is the first study to analyse the outcome of ATX-101 using high resolution surface scans of the submental area. The reduction in thickness of the submental fat by 4 mm demonstrates clinical effectiveness of ATX-101 in treatment of excess submental fat six weeks after treatment.

Brain and Brand Loyalty: An Investigation of Loyalty Factors
Authors: Anwer Tarique
Published: April 2024

Primarily, the starting point for laying down the seeds of loyalty comes not through creating glittering products with shining packaging, colourful advertisements, and slogans; instead, the bottom-line starts with a deep understanding of the human brain. At the bottom level marketers need to peep through the brain of the people and understand how the mechanism of the brain and its emotion shaping chemicals affect the mood of consumers. Marketers who are inclined to plant loyalty are never self absorbed. Their gaze is directed toward not inwards. When they meet potential customers their first move is to get inside the customer's skin, to see the world through their eyes. They understand that self absorption is a sign of insecurity. Everyone has an insecure ego but savvy marketers manage to ignore them, finding therapy by being insightful of the human brain. This gives them the buoyant spirit- they love to be around the customers. Getting into customers' skin, imagining what it is like to be them, helps the great marketers gather valuable information that helps them build loyal consumers.

Published: April 2024

Data-driven Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) become a crucial layer in the realm of predictive maintenance (PM). However, many industries develop PM technologies based on the monitoring of machine data to anticipate failures without considering the injected raw material. In reality, non-compliant material characteristics can affect the manufacturing tools leading to machine breakdowns and poor quality product. To cope with this situation, this paper proposes a new methodology that helps operators predicting machine breakdowns. In detail, the methodology starts by implementing an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process which aims to create a new and reliable dataset from heterogeneous sources. Then, a feature selection method is used for dimensionality reduction and keep only useful information. After that, the selected features are injected to Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to predict system breakdown occurrences. Finally, the novelty in this study, an auto-labeling algorithm based on material data and machine breakdown predictions is proposed. This algorithm aims to enhance raw material stock management, scheduling their consumption accordingly and thus reducing machine breakdowns. The developed methodology is applied to a real dataset of a French company, SCODER, that shows and pointed out promising perspectives in PM.

Published: April 2024

Meeting the targets of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7, which
focuses on ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and
modern energy for all, poses significant challenges. Overcoming these
hurdles requires innovative solutions that can bridge the gap between
current capabilities and future needs. Swarm electrification emerges as
a promising concept that could accelerate progress towards achieving SDG
7 goals by leveraging the collective power of decentralized energy
resources. This review delves into the concept of swarm electrification,
placing it within the context of the prevailing trends in the power
system sector: decentralization, decarbonization, and digitalization. It
examines the role of digital technologies in enhancing swarm
electrification and categorizes application areas according to the
phases of swarm electrification. Particular attention is given to the
technologies underpinning Deep Digitalization, such as distributed
ledger technology, notably blockchain, and artificial intelligence, with
a focus on machine learning. These technologies play pivotal roles in
advancing swarm electrification. The review demonstrates how deep
digitalization can facilitate the improvement of swarm electrification
and ultimately support the integration of bottom-up initiatives with
top-down grid expansion efforts over time.
Computational Dualism and Objective Superintelligence
Authors: Bennett Michael Timothy
Published: April 2024

The concept of intelligent software is flawed. The behaviour of software
depends upon the hardware that interprets it. This undermines claims
regarding the behaviour of theorised, software superintelligence. Here
we characterise this problem as “computational dualism”, where instead
of mental and physical substance, we have software and hardware. We
argue that to make objective claims regarding performance we must avoid
computational dualism. We propose using an alternative based upon
pancomputationalism, which defines all aspects of the environment as
nothing more than relations between otherwise irreducible states. We
formalise systems as behaviour (inputs and outputs, with policy being a
causal intermediary), and cognition as embodied, embedded, extended and
enactive. The result is cognition formalised as a part of the
environment, rather than as a disembodied policy interacting with the
environment though an interpreter. This allows us to make objective
claims regarding intelligence, which we argue is the ability to
“generalise”, identify causes and adapt. We then propose objective
upper bounds for intelligent behaviour.

Published: April 2024

Erythema multiforme presents as an acute skin rash characterized by symmetrical, round-shaped erythematous papules. It is typically triggered by herpes infections, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, or certain medications. In this case report, we describe a 12-year-old boy with no significant medical history who was admitted with gingivostomatitis and a generalized rash persisting for 5 days, accompanied by an unnoticed fever and declining overall health. Upon examination, the patient exhibited a fever of 39.2°C, gingivostomatitis characterized by erythematous plaques covered with vesicles across the lips, oral thrush, a maculopapular skin rash resembling erythema multiforme in a cockade pattern, and crusty lesions on an erythematous background in the genital area (penis and glans). The diagnosis confirmed erythema multiforme and gingivostomatitis caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae through respiratory PCR test and serological testing, which revealed elevated levels of IgM antibodies. Treatment with Clarithromycin resulted in significant clinical improvement, with lesion regression and achievement of a fever-free state within 72 hours. This case highlights the potential for atypical manifestations of Chlamydia pneumoniae infection in children.

Authors: Hebbezni A. , Kirami S. , Diani A. , Benzalim M. , Alj S.
Published: April 2024

Sneddon syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by a non-inflammatory arteriopathy that affects small and medium-sized arteries. The condition is challenging to diagnose due to its nonspecific clinical manifestations. This case report presents a 34-year-old male patient with sudden-onset visual acuity loss in the left eye and progressive weakness of the left hemibody, associated with spastic tetraparesis and gait disturbance. The clinical presentation and imaging findings were consistent with Sneddon syndrome. MRI played a crucial role in the diagnosis, revealing asymmetrical cortical and subcortical signal abnormalities, periventricular white matter nodules, and lacunar infarcts. These findings are consistent with the known radiologic features of Sneddon syndrome. The case emphasizes the importance of imaging techniques, particularly MRI, in the diagnosis and management of Sneddon syndrome. It also highlights the challenges in diagnosing Sneddon Syndrome and the importance of considering this condition in young patients presenting with neurological symptoms and skin lesions.

Published: April 2024

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is characterised by the association of hamartomatous digestive polyposis and mucocutaneous lentiginosis. Patients are at risk of mechanical and haemorrhagic complications. It is a syndrome predisposing to cancer. We report the case of a 44-year-old man with a history of brown pigment stains around the mouth at the age of 10, which disappeared in adulthood, followed by bowel resections at 3, 16 and 18 years of age for occlusive episodes, having presented a month ago with diffuse abdominal distension complicated within three days by an occlusive syndrome with abdominal pain of moderate intensity, with no other associated digestive signs including digestive or extra digestive haemorrhage, all evolving in a context of altered general condition with weight loss. On clinical examination, the flanks were dull, there was diffuse abdominal tenderness and a median laparotomy scar. The patient underwent FOGD and colonoscopy, which revealed a mucosa lined with gastro-duodenal and colonic polyps of varying size and suspicious appearance. A biopsy of these polypoid formations was performed, confirming Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. A cytological and immunohistochemical study of the ascites fluid found atypical carcinomatous cells. In the literature, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome may be revealed clinically or at the stage of complications such as haemorrhage, intussusception or intestinal obstruction. As in the case of our patient, who presented with an occlusive syndrome with no detectable digestive haemorrhage. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare condition. However, it is important for clinicians to be aware of it and to consider its possibility in cases of occlusive syndrome with peri-orificial lentiginosis in young adults.

Published: April 2024

Centro and extrapontine myelinolysis (MCP-MEP) or osmotic demyelination syndrome, is a demyelination of the central part of the protuberance and other extraprotuberance territories, the main predisposing factor being too rapid correction of severe hyponatremia. We report a case of osmotic demyelination syndrome in a 37-year-old patient, followed for acute adrenal insufficiency, complicated by three cardiorespiratory arrests, with recoveries after resuscitation measures, the evolution was marked by a neurological aggravation with confusion and generalised hypotonia and myoclonic seizures. The diagnosis of centropontine and extrapontine myelinolysis was confirmed by brain magnetic resonance imaging performed seven days after an initial scan, which showed no specific abnormalities. Rapid correction of hyponatremia was the main cause of this syndrome. The course of centropontine myelinolysis (CPM) and extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM) is variable. Treatment is mainly preventive, based on careful correction of severe hyponatremia and the factors contributing to it.

Authors: Dilal Sara , Mechhor Salma , Malki Manal Cherkaoui , Elbacha Hicham , Benzzoubeir Nadia , Errabih Ikram
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Waldmann's disease, or primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL), is an uncommon condition characterized by digestive lymphatic dilatations, predominantly observed in the pediatric population and rarely in adults. First described in 1961, its etiology remains unknown, and it presents with diverse manifestations, from chronic diarrhea to ascites. Diagnosis involves intestinal biopsies and radiological assessments, with treatment primarily focused on dietary modifications and, in exceptional cases, surgery. Observation: This report details a unique case of Waldmann's disease diagnosed in a 52-year-old man with a history of type 2 diabetes. Presenting with a complex clinical picture including generalized edematous syndrome, chronic diarrhea, and ascitic manifestations, the patient underwent a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation ruling out renal, hepatic, and cardiac causes. Endoscopic examinations revealed multiple duodenal lymphangiectasias, supporting the diagnosis of exudative gastroenteropathy. The patient responded positively to dietary interventions with medium-chain triglycerides, showing a significant regression of symptoms. Discussion: Waldmann's disease, a rare pathology with unknown prevalence, typically manifests in early childhood. However, the case presented here highlights the atypical onset in adulthood, emphasizing the importance of considering this diagnosis in cases of exudative enteropathy with an early onset. Clinical signs, including lower limb edema, chronic diarrhea, and visceral effusions, may vary, making a definitive diagnosis challenging. Diagnostic modalities such as imaging, biopsies, and specialized tests like Alpha-1 antitrypsin clearance play a crucial role in confirming the condition. Complications, including the risk of neoplasia and immunological abnormalities, require vigilant follow-up. Treatment primarily involves medical and dietary approaches, with encouraging results. Surgical resection may be considered .........

Interrogating Racialized Discourses in Educator-Focused Study Abroad: An Ecological Approach
Authors: Back Michele
Published: April 2024

I use an ecological approach to analyze a presentation in which four teacher candidates used racialized discourses to describe the indigenous students with whom they worked while studying abroad. I discuss this event and a subsequent interview with two faculty members present at the event, triangulating these data points with program artifacts, interviews with school administrators in the host country, and journal and assignment data from one of the candidates who presented at the event. Findings highlight the importance of viewing racialized discourse as contextualized social practices, as candidate perceptions of their indigenous students were reflected in interviews with school directors, promotional materials from the host university, and host family members. I argue that interlocutors in positions of power, such as teacher educators, must combat their own perceptions of racialized discourses as “ingrained” in White individuals from the United States and pay closer attention to the ideologies and practices these individuals might face while in culturally diverse environments.
Abstract in Spanish
Utilizo un enfoque ecológico para analizar una presentación en la que cuatro candidatos a docentes utilizaron discursos racializados para describir a los estudiantes indígenas con quienes trabajaron mientras estudiaban en el extranjero. Hablo de este evento y de una entrevista posterior con dos miembros del profesorado presentes en el evento, triangulando estos datos con artefactos del programa, entrevistas con administradores escolares en el país anfitrión y datos de diarios y tareas de uno de los candidatos que se presentaron en el evento. Los hallazgos resaltan la importancia de ver el discurso racializado como prácticas sociales contextualizadas, ya que las percepciones de los candidatos sobre sus estudiantes indígenas se reflejaron en entrevistas con directores de escuelas del país anfitrión, materiales promocionales de la universidad anfitriona y miembros de la familia anfitriona. Sostengo que los interlocutores en posiciones de poder, como los formadores de docentes, deben combatir sus propias percepciones de los discursos racializados como “arraigados” en individuos blancos de los Estados Unidos y prestar más atención a las ideologías y prácticas que estos individuos podrían enfrentar en ambientes culturalmente diversos.

Medicalização da infância:

As discussões acerca do fenômeno da medicalização da infância demonstram como os sofrimentos humanos e a própria existência são patologizados desde a mais tenra idade. Dessa forma, objetivamos discutir sobre esse fenômeno a partir das pesquisas de mestrado em Educação e Psicologia no Brasil (2010-2020). Para isso, optamos por uma pesquisa bibliográfica do tipo estado do conhecimento, à luz da Teoria Histórico-Cultural, cujos fundamentos se assentam no Materialismo Histórico-Dialético. As categorias analíticas foram: medicalização e interseccionalidade; medicalização, exigências da sociedade capitalista e indústria farmacêutica; e medicalização e formação de professores. Os resultados indicam que as intervenções de cunho médico repercutem no imaginário coletivo como responsáveis pela melhora no funcionamento biológico e cognitivo da criança e por sua aprendizagem e desenvolvimento, justificando processos medicalizantes na infância. Ainda, as exigências da sociedade capitalista, somadas aos interesses da indústria farmacêutica, contribuem para a promoção inadvertida de psicofármacos, incidindo igualmente na formação de docentes.

O presente artigo busca compreender o impacto provocado pelo isolamento social imposto pela propagação da COVID-19 na rotina dos estudantes em preparação para o Enem no Estado de Pernambuco. Trata-se de um estudo de caráter qualitativo, orientado pela “netnografia”, com base em um corpus analítico situado no canal EDUCA-PE e nos questionários aplicados com estudantes e professores da rede de ensino.  O estudado indica que as medidas emergenciais tomadas não só alteraram a dinâmica e as práticas educativas, como colocaram em evidência barreiras estruturais que merecem ser consideradas. Assim, com base nos estudos realizados por Belloni (2008) Monteiro (2020) e Kozinets (2010) foi possível traçar um panorama reflexivo que pretende contribuir para análises futuras.
