Authors: Bidarkote Anupreeta A. , Pujar A. M.
Published: November 2023

Cataract, glaucoma, and retinal disorders in individuals are the three main causes of vision impairment globally. The rising prevalence of these diseases necessitates an immediate, accurate diagnosis. The suggested approach is created and designed to make it simple for individuals to diagnose illnesses of the retina, glaucoma, cataract and many more. For the categorization and localization of eye disorders, artificial neural networks and convolutional neural networks are employed. The suggested approach will reduce the amount of brought-on blindness by enabling patients to receive the necessary care for the mentioned illnesses at an early stage. The adopted approach evaluates the effectiveness and safety of cataract surgery in eyes with age-related macular degeneration in addition to the diagnosis of glaucoma and retinal diseases. The accuracy of algorithms is demonstrated in this study using images of the fundus from healthy eyes as well as eyes with glaucoma, cataracts, and retina. Nowadays, the concept of categorizing photographs based on their fundus and extracting features is well recognized, and it also plays a crucial role in the conclusion.

Investigation of the Possible Association Between Galectin and Apoptosis in Gastric Cancer Patients
Authors: Kosova Funda , Umur Nurcan , Çetin Bahadır , Beksaç Özgü Kemal
Published: November 2023

Cancer is a type of disease that occurs as a result of the uncontrolled growth of cells, which has been very common in recent years, and some species have a poor prognosis. Galectin-3 is a multifunctional protein and is associated with the developmental process of tumors, including cell growth, adhesion, proliferation and metastasis. Galectin-3 has a broad effect on tumor development, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell adhesion, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Members of the BCLF-2 family are anti-apoptotic molecules required for the proteolytic degradation of the cell by caspases, which is the ultimate drive of programmed cell death, which plays a very important role in the regulation of the apoptotic pathway, ensures the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane and prevents the release of cytochrome C from the mitochondria. NF-kB, which is one of the important factors in cancer formation, is found in the cytoplasm, and there is a correlation between the protein levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as interlukin (IL)-1b, and IL-8, and the high incidence of cancer.  There are two types of apoptotic caspases: initiator (apical) caspases and effector (executioner) caspases. Initiator caspases (e.g., caspase-2, -8, -9 and -10) cleave inactive pro-forms of effector caspases, thereby activating them. Effector caspases (e.g., caspase-3, -6, -7) in turn cleave other protein substrates within the cell resulting in the apoptotic process. At least fourteen caspases have so far been implicated in human apoptotic pathway cascade. Among these, caspase-3 is considered to be a major executioner protease in apoptosis. To examine this mechanism in more detail, we aimed to examine the difference between Galectin, BCLF-2, Kaspase3, Kaspas 8, Nfkb levels before and after treatment in operable gastric cancer patients with the Elisa test. In this study, We observed a statistical increase in Galectin, BCLF-2, Kaspase3, Kaspas 8, Nfkb levels when the control group was compared with the preoperative group. There was a statistically significant increase in Galectin, BCLF-2, Nfkb, Caspase3, Caspase 8 levels in the preoperative group compared to the control. There is a statistical increased in Galectin, BCLF-2, Kaspase3, Kaspas 8, Nfkb levels in the postoperative group compared to the control. Although there was no statistical difference in Galectin, BCLF-2, Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Nfkb levels between pre and postoperative groups, a significant decrease was observed in Galectin, BCLF-2, Nfkb levels. A very slight increase was observed in Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 levels. In conclusion, we think that Galectin-3 Bcl-2 and NF-kB may be markers for gastric cancer patients. We think that it is appropriate to conduct this study with more patient groups and a longer period.

Importance of Self-built Temporary Spaces, Between Traditional and Transitory Architecture: The Saharawi Wilayat in the Algerian Desert
Authors: Roccaro Daniele
Published: November 2023

In an increasingly complex world of climate-related crises, migrations, and forced displacements, the study of spontaneous and temporary self-built settlements in harsh habitats may be of value to the architectural debate. The analysis of the Saharawi camps in the Algerian desert presented here identifies recurrent typological patterns in both domestic and common spaces. The aim of this paper is to analyze these settlements as a structural form of habitation, framing them within the discourse of traditional architecture, while recognizing aspects of ephemerality and emergency provision. The method used was a spatial classification of housing units and settlements in order to identify recurring typological patterns. Our results demonstrate the presence of such patterns and show that, even in precarious and developing situations, principles of traditional architecture apply. By encouraging these practices, we may improve the living conditions of those inhabiting temporary contexts, while also favoring practices that are more sustainable for the environment.

Open Public Spaces: What Makes Them Successful?
Authors: Mutawe Saud K. Abu , Asfour Omar S.
Published: November 2023

Open public spaces have become integral to the modern city. People practice activities that express their cultures and interests in these spaces. However, this depends on the quality of open public spaces, including the factors that attract people to use them. Thus, this study aims to identify the main attributes that improve the quality of open public spaces in the context of Saudi Arabia. To do so, a questionnaire was distributed to identify the positive and negative attributes of open public spaces from users’ perspectives. The study concluded that cultural background and social experience play major roles in the functional potential of open public spaces. One main challenge is that people are not accustomed to socialising in open public spaces. The study also resulted in a set of design recommendations for open public spaces. These include the need to offer users new experiences and secure their social needs by creating spaces where people can enjoy sharing new experiences with their friends and family members.
Diversity in Lay Perceptions of Social Class Among Finnish Youth
Authors: Lötjönen Katja , Martikainen Jari
Published: November 2023

This study explores young Finnish people’s lay perceptions of social class with a focus on the class terms used to form hierarchies based on their everyday understanding. Our approach is based on cultural class research, which focuses on diversity and subtle nuances of class. The participants were 519 young people ages 15 to 25. The data were collected using the word association method and analyzed by quantitative and qualitative content analyses. While 254 participants perceived Finland as having social classes, their perceptions differed from each other. Half of them formed class hierarchies with more explicit logic, and the other half used more implicit ways of forming hierarchies with diverse class terms based on themes of economy, employment, power, majority/minority, and education. Our findings show ample diversity in both the vertical and horizontal perceptions of social class among young lay people.

Authors: Silva Alexandre Lucas Sacramento da , Shigeto Eros
Published: November 2023

O presente estudo propõe discorrer sobre queratocisto odontogênico que é uma lesão cística intraóssea, sendo considerado uma neoplasia benigna, possuindo características clínicas com comportamento agressivo e crescimento lento. No exame radiográfico, a lesão pode apresentar-se de forma unilocular ou multilocular, exibindo-se de uma imagem radiolúcida com bordas bem definidas, associadas ou não com o elemento dental e apresentando uma alta taxa de recidiva pós-operatória. Possui características assintomáticas, mas podem estar associados à parestesia, assimetria facial e também um aumento de volume regional, tendo como predileção a região posterior da mandíbula, podendo afetar regiões do ramo, corpo e ângulo, bem como na maxila. O diagnóstico é auxiliado por exames de imagens como a radiografia panorâmica e tomografia computadorizada, sendo necessária a biópsia incisional para análise anatomopatológica e confirmação do diagnóstico. Sendo assim, o problema desse estudo é: Qual a técnica cirúrgica mais adequada para este tipo de patologia com uma menor taxa de recidiva? O presente estudo teve como objetivo descrever as principais formas de tratamento como: Ressecção, enucleação, marsupialização e a descompressão, sendo esta última a mais conservadora. Diante disso, para atingir o objetivo geral elencou-se os seguintes objetivos específicos: Analisar as alterações clinicas e radiográficas, descrever as formas de tratamento e estruturar a eficácia da técnica da descompressão como alternativa inicial de tratamento. A metodologia utilizada para o desenvolvimento desse estudo adotou uma abordagem qualitativa, englobando pesquisas bibliográficas fundamentados em publicações na base de dados do pubmed. Este estudo visa abordar por meio da revisão de literatura atualidades acerca do tratamento de queratocisto odontogênico, fornecendo um suporte baseado em evidências científicas em que auxilie na implementação da técnica cirúrgica para promover uma menor morbidade e preservação de estruturas importantes.
Modulación del dolor. Una revisión sobre el abordaje a través de la música y las intervenciones vibroacústicos
Authors: Moreyra Paula Zoe Gelerstein , Abrahan Verónika Diaz
Published: November 2023

El dolor es una experiencia sensorial y emocional desagradable asociada con un daño tisular real o potencial. Entre las estrategias de tratamiento no farmacológicas se incluyen las derivadas de la Musicoterapia. Las técnicas receptivas representan un conjunto de propuestas dentro del campo de la Musicoterapia mediante las cuales las y los usuarios escuchan y responde a la experiencia musical en forma silenciosa, en forma verbal o de alguna otra forma. Específicamente, la musicoterapia vibroacústica consiste en el uso de ondas sinusoidales, rítmicas y pulsadas de baja frecuencia de entre 30 Hz y 120 Hz, mezcladas con música con fines terapéuticos. En los últimos años, se han registrado evidencias que dan cuenta del efecto de la escucha musical en combinación con la estimulación vibrotáctil sobre aspectos psicofisiológicos, por lo que se la puede considerar una alternativa de tratamiento no farmacológico del dolor. El objetivo del presente trabajo es mostrar los antecedentes sobre los mecanismos que subyacen a la reducción de la percepción del dolor, a partir de la escucha musical y de la estimulación vibrotáctil. Aunque escasos hasta el momento, los estudios presentados muestran las potencialidades de la musicoterapia vibroacústica como tratamiento para la reducción de la autopercepción del dolor de las personas. Este trabajo pretende ser una contribución teórica al campo de la Musicoterapia y un punto de partida para pensar investigaciones básicas y aplicas que amplíen la evidencia de los métodos receptivos musicoterapeuticos.

Authors: Tian Shasha , Zu Kexin , Dong Huabin , Zeng Limin , Lu Keding , Chen Qi
Published: November 2023

Abstract. In the last few decades, various techniques, including spectroscopic, mass spectrometric, chemiluminescence and wet chemical methods, have been developed and applied for the detection of gaseous ammonia (NH3). We developed an online NH3 monitoring system – salicylic acid derivatization reaction and long-path absorption photometer (SAC-LOPAP) – based on a selective colorimetric reaction to form a highly absorbing reaction product and a LOPAP, which could run stably for a long time and be applied to the continuous online measurement of low concentrations of ambient NH3 by optimizing the reaction conditions, adding a constant-temperature module and liquid flow controller. The detection limit reached with this instrument was 40.5 parts per trillion (ppt) with a stripping liquid flow rate of 0.49 mL min−1 and a gas sample flow rate of 0.70 L min−1. An inter-comparison of our system with a commercial Picarro G2103 analyzer (Picarro, USA) in Beijing was presented, and the results showed that the two instruments had a good correlation with a slope of 1.00 and an R2 of 0.96, indicating that the SAC-LOPAP instrument involved in this study could be used for the accurate measurement of NH3.
Method to evaluate large-wood behavior in terms of the convection equation associated with sediment erosion and deposition
Authors: Harada Daisuke , Egashira Shinji
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Recent flood hazards occurring in mountainous areas are often characterized by numerous amounts of sediment and large wood supplied from upstream, which often exacerbate flood disasters in downstream areas. This paper proposes a method for describing large-wood behavior in terms of the convection and storage equations, together with the governing equations for describing flood flows and channel changes associated with active sediment erosion and deposition. The proposed method is tested for its validity by simulating the phenomena occurring in an open channel with an erodible bed and flood flow with numerous amounts of sediment and large wood in the Akatani River flood disaster. As a result of calculations reproducing the open channel experiment, the applicability of the method is indicated as the percentage of wood pieces captured in the sediment deposition areas in the channel is within the range of the experimental results. The results of 2-D flood flow calculations with sediment and large wood in the Akatani River flood disaster suggested that large-wood deposition is reproduced where bed deformation is well reproduced. Overall, since the proposed method makes it possible to simulate the behavior of various amounts of large wood, it can be applied to the management of hazards in mountainous rivers such as the Akatani River.
A Model for Explaining Digital Addiction in Adolescents: The Role of Self-Perception, Social-Emotional Learning, Adolescent-Parent Relationship and Peer Relationships
Authors: Erez Semih , Ağırkan Murat
Published: November 2023

Objective: This study was aimed at examining the levels of digital addiction in adolescents with a regression model created with self-perception, adolescent-parent relationships, peer relationships, and social-emotional learning (SEL) skills.
Method: The participants consisted of 504 high school students. The data were obtained through the Personal Information Form, the Digital Addiction Scale, the Adolescent-Parent Relationships Scale, the Friendship Quality Scale, the Self-Perception Scale, and the Social and Emotional Learning Scale.
Results: Self-perception, adolescent-parent relationship, and SEL skills were significant predictors of adolescents' digital addiction levels, while the peer relationships was not. Additionally, the regression model explains approximately 27% of the total variance of digital addiction in adolescents.
Conclusion: The ability of digital platforms to compensate for negative self-perception during adolescence, coupled with inadequate SEL skills, may hinder adolescents from forming satisfying real relationships with themselves and their environment, ultimately increasing their levels of digital addiction. In families without satisfying relationships with parents where there is no positive, warm, supportive, and safe climate, this may cause digital addiction in adolescents.

Internal quality audits are conducted within the internal quality assurance system (SPMI) of higher education institutions to ensure compliance with SPMI standards and enhance a quality culture. Constraints in implementing internal quality audits include limitations in human resources, time, and costs, as well as the complexity of audit stages and documentation of audit findings. To address these challenges, a website-based information system has been designed using the waterfall method and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) approach, utilizing the PHP framework CodeIgniter and a MySQL database. The system aims to digitize and automate the implementation of internal quality audits to enhance effectiveness and efficiency. Additionally, it facilitates the management and storage of internal quality audit documents. For testing purposes, black-box testing is employed, consisting of 10 different test types. The testing results indicate a 90% success rate, while 10% of the data did not succeed due to the limitation of inputting text HTML.

The purpose of the work is to design an electromagnetic shield to reduce the level of the magnetic field generated by double-circuit overhead power lines to increase the shielding efficiency of the initial magnetic field in residential buildings to the level of sanitary standards and reduce the sys-tem's sensitivity to changes in system parameters. To achieve this goal, the structure of the electro-magnetic shield is determined, which consists of a single-circuit active and multi-circuit passive parts and is characterized by an increased efficiency of reducing the magnetic field of industrial frequency. The design of an electromagnetic shield is reduced to solving a minimax vector optimization problem, in which the vector objective function is calculated based on solutions of Maxwell's equations in a quasi-stationary approximation using the COMSOL Multiphysics software package. The solution of the minimax vector optimization problem is calculated on the basis of optimization algorithms by a multiswarm of particles from Pareto-optimal solutions. The most important results are theoretical and experimental studies of the effectiveness of the designed electromagnetic shield of the magnetic field generated by double-circuit overhead power lines. The significance of the results obtained lies in the fact that practical recommendations are given on the reasonable choice of the spatial arrangement of the contours of the multi-circuit passive screen and the shielding winding of the robust system of elec-tromagnetic shielding of the magnetic field generated by double-circuit overhead power lines. The possibility of reducing the induction of the initial magnetic field to the level of sanitary standards has been shown as well.

Nanofluid is one of the solutions of heat transfer, which can apply in devices fields as nuclear power, Nano-electronics systems, and solar fluid heating. In this work, the natural convection of Cuwater nanofluid is examined using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) as a mesoscopic approach. The main objectives of this work are to study the performance and pattern of Cu-water nanofluid and to demonstrate that the nanofluids behave differently while improving their energy transfer compared to pure fluids. The set goal was achieved by solving the tasks: based on the streamlines and isotherms profiles to demonstrate how the convection process and temperature gradients improve. Also, conducting study on heat transfer of nanofluid by calculate the Nusselt number. Depending on the nanoparticle volume percentage, the Grashof number Gr , and the hot obstacle have a significant impact on the convection flow and rate of heat transfer. The most important result is the enhancement of heat transfer with the increasing of volume fraction for a particular Grashof number, also it improves with the rising of Grashof number for a particular nanoparticles volume fraction. Therefore, the aspect ratios of the enclosure have played a significant part in Nusselt number variation. In addition, we found that the Nusselt number avg Nu is higher in the case of cavity without hot obstacle more than for cavity with hot obstacle, so the heat transfer improves in the case of cavity without hot obstacle. The significance of the obtained results consists that the nanofluid is one of the ways to improve heat transfer due to its specific characteristics and properties.

The requirement to provide the content expertise (particularly digital video) in real time is becoming critical. Thus, the aim of the work is to increase the efficiency of identifying the fact of violation of image integrity by developing a universal expert method with low computational complexity. This aim was achieved by using a new approach developed by the authors earlier that based on the properties of the dependence of the frequency index of the singular vector of the image matrix on its number, adapted for the case of a block organization of expertise. The most important theoretical result of the work is the higher rate of growth of the linear approximation of the dependence of the block-average values of the frequency indexes of singular vectors on its number, which was established for the original content, as compared to the non-original content. The significance of the obtained results is that the developed expert method, being a block one, has insignificant computational complexity – O (n2) operations for an nx n image matrix, which makes it promising for working with digital content, in particular with video, in real time. At the same time, the algorithmic implementation of the method made it possible to increase the efficiency of detecting violations of image integrity by reducing type I errors by 2% compared to the best analogue; type II errors remained at the same level. The versatility of the method is confirmed by its high efficiency regardless of the specifics of the perturbation effect, including in conditions of minor disturbances.
