‘And When He Saw Him, He Had Compassion’: Following Jesus and Relationship to Non-Human Creatures
Authors: Zámečník Jan
Published: November 2023

This article explores how the concept of following Jesus can be ethically applied in the sphere of the treatment of non-human creatures. It shows three possibilities of grasping the theme: accommodating Jesus to a preconceived idea, using the sayings and actions of Jesus that involve animals, and adhering to a characteristic feature of his approach. The article points out the problematic character of the first two options and highlights the third – it proposes that the relationship to non-human creatures should be based on the criterion of compassion accompanied by care for the suffering.
Revival of Ancient Questions: Current Developments in Theological Animal Ethics
Authors: Rosenberger Michael
Published: November 2023

Since the middle of the 19th century, animal husbandry has been industrialised and subdued to economic efficiency to an unsurpassable degree. Animals as living beings and fellow creatures have largely fallen by the wayside. Whereas philosophical ethics has reflected this situation critically since the 1970s, theological ethics entered the debate only with a notable delay in the 2010s and was enormously fostered by the encyclical Laudato si’ in 2015. The article discusses different theological approaches to animal ethics and links it with the origins of Christian animal ethics in the patristic era. Finally, it focuses attention on the most debated controversy in animal ethics, namely meat consumption, and argues for the postponing of this question in favour of progress in animal welfare.

Objectives

The biomarker N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has predictive value for identifying individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, it is not widely used for screening in the general population, potentially due to financial and operational reasons. This study aims to develop a deep-learning model as an efficient means to reliably identify individuals at risk for CVD by predicting serum levels of NT-proBNP from the ECG.

Methods

A deep convolutional neural network was developed using the population-based cohort study Hamburg City Health Study (HCHS, n=8,253, 50.9 % women). External validation was performed in two independent population-based cohorts (SHIP-START, n=3,002, 52.1 % women, and SHIP-TREND, n=3,819, 51.2 % women). Assessment of model performance was conducted using Pearson correlation (R) and area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC).

Results

NT-proBNP was predictable from the ECG (R, 0.566 [HCHS], 0.642 [SHIP-START-0], 0.655 [SHIP-TREND-0]). Across cohorts, predicted NT-proBNP (pNT-proBNP) showed good discriminatory ability for prevalent and incident heart failure (HF) (baseline: AUROC 0.795 [HCHS], 0.816 [SHIP-START-0], 0.783 [SHIP-TREND-0]; first follow-up: 0.669 [SHIP-START-1, 5 years], 0.689 [SHIP-TREND-1, 7.3 years]), comparable to the discriminatory value of measured NT-proBNP. pNT-proBNP also demonstrated comparable results for other incident CVD, including atrial fibrillation, stroke, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death.

Conclusions

Deep learning ECG algorithms can predict NT-proBNP concentrations with high diagnostic and predictive value for HF and other major CVD and may be used in the community to identify individuals at risk. Long-standing experience with NT-proBNP can increase acceptance of such deep learning models in clinical practice.

The Levantine Roots of thetophetSanctuary
Authors: Xella Paolo
Published: November 2023

Phoenician and Carthaginian infant cremation sanctuaries (tophet), attested throughout the central Mediterranean (north Africa, Sardinia and Sicily, and perhaps Malta), up to this point lack convincing archaeological evidence in the Phoenician motherland and the far western Mediterranean. This study collects and re-examines the evidence of its Levantine origin of historical order, (the chronology of the settlements and the almost contemporary installation oftophetprecincts in them), epigraphic (the inscription of Nebi Yunis) and literary (biblical testimonies and some Greek and Latin writers). Taken as a whole, this documentation strongly leads us to exclude an explanation of thetophetas a novelty introduced by the migrants, but an ancient traditional institution that derived in all probability from the city of Tyre.
Memes as multimodal ensemble
Authors: Koickakudy Mitul Joseph , Karakunnel Meljo Thomas
Published: November 2023

Memes have now become a common medium of communication. There are multiple ways memes are considered in academia. Semiotics offers information on how the media and modes that memes consist of can be interpreted and how the characteristics of semiotic resources apply to memes. Drawing from a pool of memes collected during the Kerala assembly election in 2021, this research argues that certain memes need to be categorised as multimodal ensemble. Different modalities play different roles meaning construction, and they also collaborate with each other for a uniform purpose. By comparing existing memes defined in academia and multiple methodologies to analyse memes, the paper puts forth a framework to analyse memes.
The role of myelin in neurodegeneration: implications for drug targets and neuroprotection strategies

Published: November 2023

Myelination of axons in the central nervous system offers numerous advantages, including decreased energy expenditure for signal transmission and enhanced signal speed. The myelin sheaths surrounding an axon consist of a multi-layered membrane that is formed by oligodendrocytes, while specific glycoproteins and lipids play various roles in this formation process. As beneficial as myelin can be, its dysregulation and degeneration can prove detrimental. Inflammation, oxidative stress, and changes in cellular metabolism and the extracellular matrix can lead to demyelination of these axons. These factors are hallmark characteristics of certain demyelinating diseases including multiple sclerosis. The effects of demyelination are also implicated in primary degeneration in diseases such as glaucoma and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as in processes of secondary degeneration. This reveals a relationship between myelin and secondary processes of neurodegeneration, including resultant degeneration following traumatic injury and transsynaptic degeneration. The role of myelin in primary and secondary degeneration is also of interest in the exploration of strategies and targets for remyelination, including the use of anti-inflammatory molecules or nanoparticles to deliver drugs. Although the use of these methods in animal models of diseases have shown to be effective in promoting remyelination, very few clinical trials in patients have met primary end points. This may be due to shortcomings or considerations that are not met while designing a clinical trial that targets remyelination. Potential solutions include diversifying disease targets and requiring concomitant interventions to promote rehabilitation.
A Discussion of Exercise Programs Performed During Firefighter Training Academies
Authors: Mang Zachary A. , Beam Jason R. , Martinez Adam H.
Published: November 2023

Firefighting is a physically demanding occupation that requires individuals to possess considerably high levels of muscular endurance, strength, power, and aerobic fitness. Under most circumstances, a firefighter's career begins with a training academy during which they learn essential job tasks (e.g., victim rescue) while performing a variety of exercise programs. Based on the current literature, several forms of resistance, aerobic, circuit, concurrent, and functional training positively affect the physical fitness and occupational performance of firefighter recruits. Because many fire departments have limited gym access, it is most practical for training academies to adopt exercise programs that can be completed with their academy's specific equipment and facility confines. Luckily, the research discussed within this paper demonstrates that effective training can be performed with minimal and maximal facility/equipment access. Regarding future studies, it would be interesting for researchers to compare the effects of minimal-equipment and maximal-equipment programs and apply training plans that combine these 2 extremes. Moreover, to accommodate the execution and learning of occupational tasks, researchers should explore periodizing training plans around the current physical demands of the academy while applying minimum effective training doses.

Published: November 2023

The dorsomedial posterior parietal cortex (dmPPC) is part of a higher-cognition network implicated in elaborate processes underpinning memory formation, recollection, episode reconstruction, and temporal information processing. Neural coding for complex episodic processing is however under-documented. Here, we recorded extracellular neural activities from three male rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) and revealed a set of neural codes of “neuroethogram” in the primate parietal cortex. Analyzing neural responses in macaque dmPPC to naturalistic videos, we discovered several groups of neurons that are sensitive to different categories of ethogram items, low-level sensory features, and saccadic eye movement. We also discovered that the processing of category and feature information by these neurons is sustained by the accumulation of temporal information over a long timescale of up to 30 s, corroborating its reported long temporal receptive windows. We performed an additional behavioral experiment with additional two male rhesus macaques and found that saccade-related activities could not account for the mixed neuronal responses elicited by the video stimuli. We further observed monkeys’ scan paths and gaze consistency are modulated by video content. Taken altogether, these neural findings explain how dmPPC weaves fabrics of ongoing experiences together in real time. The high dimensionality of neural representations should motivate us to shift the focus of attention from pure selectivity neurons to mixed selectivity neurons, especially in increasingly complex naturalistic task designs.

Authors: Higgins Rebecca , Riley Breen , Talley Jennell , Barrera Alessandra , Hurst-Kennedy Jennifer , Katzman Shoshana
Published: November 2023

To reduce the cost of educational materials needed by students, we generated a no-cost open educational resources (OER) textbook for an undergraduate level cell biology course. Cell biology is part of the curriculum in various undergraduate degrees for science, technology, engineering, and math majors, therefore generation of OER targets a large population of students. In addition to cost reduction, we unified the textbook content with course learning outcomes to ensure that the students have a clear understanding of course goals. To assess student perceptions of OER materials and their experiences related to learning outcomes, surveys were administered to students enrolled in sections of cell biology using a traditional textbook and those enrolled in sections using the OER. Data showed positive student attitudes about learning, accessibility, and cost of OER, supporting the use of no-cost OER in undergraduate classrooms and beyond.

Published: November 2023

This paper describes how a threshold policy, or TP = [(0, Q), 1]-based inventory management, economically offers customers a single product with a discrete time geometric queue attached to a Geo/Geo/1 service base. The order for Q units starts when inventory I(t) at time ’t’ drops to the level ’0’, and the length of the queueing process X(t) is at least one. We focus on the process Z(t) = (X(t), I(t)), t  [0, ?). We then analyse the steady state probabilities and then provides a numerical study for graphing the economic order quantity.

Special quantitative model of the human thermoregulatory system (MTS) functioning with cardiovascular and lung systems is created. These systems form a human physiological supersystem (HPSS). MTS describes thermoregulatory responses to alterations of both external environmental physical characteristics and internal biological characteristics. Algorithms provide designing of scenarios including simulation of either short-time or long-time (hours or days) observations. Input data include different combinations of environmental variables (air or water temperature, air humidity, wind or water flow speed, light intensity, infrared radiation) for a naked or wear human, as well as for given dynamics of biological characteristics (rate of heat production including its components associated with metabolism and ATP molecules leasing during mental and physical activities). Human body is presented by a core, blood, and a skin compartments. Skin and lung evaporation are under hypothalamic control based on afferent impulse patterns from internal, and skin heat and cold receptors. Dynamic output data include blood, hypothalamic, and skin temperatures, hemodynamic parameters like heart rate, cardiac output, regional blood flows, vascular resistances, blood pressures, and regional blood volumes. Serotonin and melatonin concentrations modulating biological heat production rate are associated with a day/night light intensity. Currently, the PCbased simulator is autonomous software to be used both for educational purposes and for providing of special computer research. In a near future, this simulator has to be widened by models of kidneys, and a mechanism of liverpancreas interaction.

Published: November 2023

The future of Ukraine is only impossible without integration into the European community, including in the fight against climate change. It is possible to make the production of thermal energy more environmentally friendly thanks to the introduction of solar technologies. Solar thermal technologies are necessary for the decarbonization of the industrial sector. Information from open sources on the state and prospects for the development of solar industrial heat supply systems in the world has been analyzed. Analysis of the development of solar heat and steam production for industry in the world has shown that the solar thermal energy market is currently in an early stage of development, but it is actively developing and many projects will be commissioned in the near future. Specific investment costs and economy of solar industrial heat supply systems of various capacities are determined. The average weighted cost of thermal energy for the life cycle is used as a criterion of economy in world practice. Specific investment costs for installing solar systems are significantly reduced when their thermal power is increased. Approximate dependences of average specific investment costs on thermal power were obtained. The specific investment costs of installation and the number of hours of operation significant impact on the average cost of solar heat and steam production for industry. Approximate dependences of the average cost of heat on thermal power at different discount rates and at different power on discount rates were obtained. In Ukraine, it is possible to organize the supply of industry with heat and hot water from the use of solar technologies in a short period of time. A promising direction is the use of solar heat supply systems in combination with other thermal energy sources. Keywords: thermal energy; industrial heat supply, powerful solar systems, investment costs, cost of thermal energy.
Artificial intelligect and human nature
Authors: Griffen L. O. , Ryzheva N. O.
Published: November 2023

The article presents the main transformational processes of scientific understanding of the role and interaction of «artificial» and «natural» intellect. The aim of the work is to analyze and summarize the most promising results of modern scientific research in the context of supporting the priority of solving «intellectual» problems by «natural intellect» and the role of «artificial intellect». Attention is drawn to the specifics of the artificial intellect functioning, which is significantly limited by the fundamental incompleteness of semantic information and the absence of axiological information. The article is based on the data of scientific developments in the field of natural and historical sciences. The natural intellect is presented as a social phenomenon that arose from the interaction of individual cerebral structures, the optimal characteristics of which were formed as a result of previous evolution, and therefore these characteristics allow to understand and make any dominant decisions. The material summarized in the article allowed to formulate some conclusions. In particular, that an artificial non-biological structure cannot be «smarter» than a person – regardless of how quickly and according to what programmes it processes the information, since it does not have its own goals. But the artificial intellect is a powerful tool for society in its interaction with the outside world. A tool – but in no case an agent that determines its goals and objectives. The artificial intellect as an auxiliary means is and will be created in future by people to achieve the same goal that «natural» intellect serves – better possible satisfaction of the needs of society as a whole and the individual in particular.
Практика аргументації у філософії медіа
Authors: Смазнова І. С.
Published: November 2023

Стаття має на меті з’ясувати роль використання практик аргументації в посередництві, репрезентації та коментуванні медійних практик, а також викрити проблеми маніпуляції та перешкоджання критичному мисленню в цьому контексті. Стаття більшою мірою має дескриптивний (оглядовий) характер, оскільки її автор ставить за мету формулювання і постановку проблеми, а не пропонує її вирішення. У процесі роботи застосовувалася низка емпіричних та загальнологічних методів, а саме: описання, аналіз та синтез, індукція, абстрагування, узагальнення, ідеалізація тощо. Спілкування передбачає наявність спільної мови для всіх учасників. Ступінь взаєморозуміння в спілкуванні тісно пов’язаний зі спільною семантикою, синтаксисом, символікою та іншими елементами мови, якою користуються учасники. Окрім природних мов, людські культури використовують складні системи невербальної символічної комунікації, такі як: жести, мова тіла та мовчання. У статті науковець зосереджується, зокрема, на ролі невербальної комунікації в контексті медіапрактик, поміщаючи її в ширший контекст філософії комунікації та медіапрактик. Однією з тем, яку автор прагне дослідити в цьому контексті, є маніпуляція. Маніпуляція в комунікації може приймати різні форми, такі як: зміщення акценту в повідомленому змісті, підміна значень, фальшиві повідомлення, суперечливі сигнали та подразники, що відвертають увагу. Ці та інші прийоми є засобами спрямування курсу спілкування в бажаному напрямі. Попри те що критичне мислення само по собі є позитивною рисою, воно іноді може перешкоджати сприйняттю правильної інформації та накопиченню знань, таким чином знижуючи загальну ефективність спілкування. Спираючись на філософські концепції об’єктивності та універсальності істини, науковець у статті аналізує функціонування критичного мислення в контексті сучасних медіапрактик.
Наукова творчість мовою платонівської філософії любові
Authors: Шаталович О. М. , Шаталович І. В.
Published: November 2023

Статтю присвячено експлікації наукової творчості за допомогою ідей платонівської філософії любові. Методологія роботи спирається на компаративний підхід, метод аналогій та історико-філософську рефлексію. Науковий творчий процес у ході дослідження умовно розділили на три етапи: наявність суперечності, творчий пошук, теоретичне втілення. Перший етап наукового творчого процесу пов’язаний з виявленням суперечності між Поросом і Пенією (у термінах платонівського «Бенкету»), «різниця потенціалів» якого й народжує творчий ерос як дослідницький пошук. На другому етапі творчого наукового процесу ерос приваблює дослідника красою істини, яка надихає науковий пошук. Подібно до описаного Платоном образу Ероса науковець теж вічно шукає істинну красу і не може заспокоїтися, завжди ставить запитання й залишається незадоволеним. У пристрасному невідступному запитуванні він виходить за загальновизнані межі, щоб наздогнати красу істини і в екстазі відкриття з’єднатися з абсолютним. На третьому етапі філософські міркування Платона про пригадування (анамнезис) і схоплювання істини Еросом можна порівняти з інкубацією та інтуїцією творчого наукового процесу. Як в першому, так і в другому випадку ми знаходимо подібні процеси евристичного впливу образу, народже- ння результату в красі, досягнення суті через ототожнення «різнорідного» та естетичне задоволення, яке стимулює дослідника.

Published: November 2023

Introdução: a fragilidade é uma síndrome multifatorial de condições biológicas, psicológicas e sociais que predispõe a pessoa idosa a declínio da funcionalidade e maior suscetibilidade à vulnerabilidade. Tal condição pode ser agravada naquelas que apresentam comorbidades, destacando-se as cardiopatias.
Objetivo: conhecer a prevalência de fatores relacionados à fragilidade e à mobilidade física, bem como a correlação entre esses indicadores em pessoas idosas em segmento ambulatorial.
Casuística e método: estudo transversal com uma abordagem exploratória, descritiva e quantitativa que avaliou um grupo de pessoas idosas com cardiopatias crônicas, de ambos os sexos, com idade ≥60 anos em acompanhamento em um ambulatório de cardiologia. Os participantes foram separados de acordo com a classificação de fragilidade física de Fried e avaliadas a mobilidade física pelo Timed Up and Go (TUG), a força muscular por meio da força de preensão manual (FPM), quantidade muscular dos músculos da panturrilha através da circunferência de panturrilha (CP) e a fragilidade multidimensional com o Índice de Vulnerabilidade Clínico-Funcional (IVCF-20). A prevalência foi investigada por meio de frequência relativa e absoluta e, para as análises de correlação, o teste de Spearman foi utilizado.
Resultados: a mediana da idade da amostra foi de 73 anos; 41 (61,2%) eram frágeis, 17 (25,4%) pré-frágeis; e 9 (13,4%) não frágeis. Com relação à mobilidade física, o grupo de frágeis apresento u fraqueza muscular FPM 15,3 kgf (1,6 – 33,3) e maior tempo necessário no TUG 16,3s (8,8 – 50,0). Há evidências de que exista correlação entre o IVCF-20 x TUG (p= <0,001; r=0,580), além de correlação negativa entre FPM x TUG (p= <0,001; r= -0,434) e IVCF-20 x FPM (p= <0,001; r= -0,378).
Conclusão: há prevalência de fragilidade física em pessoas idosas cardiopatas em acompanhamento ambulatorial. As medidas de mobilidade se correlacionam entre si.

Exploring the eighteenth-century concept of soil as reflected in Sámuel Domby's De vino Tokaiensi
Authors: Sipos Eszter
Published: November 2023

The treatise De vino Tokaiensi (On Tokaj Wine) written by Sámuel Domby of Gálfalva (1729–1807), is a valuable source on Hungarian history of culture and science which has become widely accessible thanks to its facsimile edition. This medical doctoral dissertation published in 1758 in Utrecht presents a study of the medicinal effects of Tokaj wine, mirroring the norms of philosophical-scientific literature in eighteenth century Hungary. It is unequivocally an exceptional document of the intellectual heritage of the educated classes in the early modern age regarding growth habitat, viticulture and winemaking, with specific reference to Tokaj-Hegyalja, a wine region and cultural landscape of historic importance in Northeast Hungary. The present paper aims at identifying the perceptions detailed in the candidate's argument in pedological terms.
Latin paraphrases of Old Testament books in verse in 16th century Hungary
Authors: Posta Anna
Published: November 2023

A popular trend in 16th-century Hungarian Neo-Latin poetry was the transposition of biblical, especially Old Testament books and texts. Georg Purkircher (Georgius Purkircher) paraphrased the Book of Wisdom, Péter Laskai Csókás (Petrus C. Lascovius) the Song of Songs, János Bocatius (Johannes Bocatius) the Book of Sirach/Ecclesiasticus, and Leonhardus Mokoschinus (Leonhardus Mokoschinus) a part of the Old Testament books (from Genesis to II Kings) in Latin. Internationally, only Mokoschinus' paraphrase of the Old Testament is known to any extent. In the present paper I will attempt to outline the main similarities and differences between the paraphrases of the Old Testament in Germany and in Hungary by means of a detailed philological analysis of the domestic corpus of texts and by highlighting some related parallels in Germany.
Modeling of pressure losses in a cylindrical duct with rectangular ribs
Authors: Chouchane Nacer , Chouchane Hammam , Chouchane Tesnim
Published: November 2023

In order to improve the thermal performance of heat exchangers and air collectors, we insert various forms of artificial roughness, known as ribs, into the useful duct. These ribs promote the creation of turbulent flows and enhance heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation.

However, the introduction of these ribs leads to an increase in pressure drop, requiring higher mechanical power to pump the heat transfer fluid. This experimental study focuses on estimating, using empirical approaches, the pressure losses induced by rectangular ribs with an inclined top. The ribs are made from 0.4 mm galvanized sheet steel.

An experimental set-up was designed to measure the head losses generated by the ribs, from the point of entry to the point of exit from the useful duct. Using the dimensional analysis method, correlations were established to evaluate head losses as a function of flow regime and rib geometry and configuration (including different geometries for rib arrangement over the configuration area).

Japanese essayist Maki Fukasawa coined the term sôshoku danshi ‘herbivore men’ to refer to men who are not assertive or proactive in engaging with romantic or sexual relationships with women. Since her 2006 article, dozens of related kei ‘types’ have proliferated across the digital landscape, creating a taxonomy of binary-based gender classifications. This article describes the kei system through an analysis of digital texts, first providing the historical context of this discourse, then overviewing its grammar and taxonomic structure. An analysis of heuristic types then reveals how heteronormativity and gender hegemony emerge and limit the subversive potential of this system. Finally, the article discusses how neoliberalism creates the niche occupied by kei and enables its sustained appeal. The article contributes to research on both kei and identity by analysing kei as a system, attending to the ways in which broad social forces shape self-identification.

The paper presents a study of the process of nitric acid dissolution of the natural minerals chalcopyrite and bornite. The influence of various parameters, including temperature, nitric acid concentration and particle sizes, on this process was examined. Based on the data obtained, the values of apparent activation energy (57.41 and 42.98 kJ/mol for chalcopyrite and bornite, respectively), empirical orders with respect to nitric acid (1.62 and 1.57 for chalcopyrite and bornite, respectively) and with respect to particle size (–1.16 and –2.53 for chalcopyrite and bornite, respectively) were calculated using the shrinking core model. Generalized kinetic equations for the dissolution process of both minerals were derived. Based on the calculations performed, it was suggested that the dissolution processes of chalcopyrite and bornite under these conditions are limited by internal diffusion.

Authors: Soloveva Tatiana S. , Sokolova Veronika A.
Published: November 2023

The research examines the problem of implementing the principle of inclusion in the Russian education system as contributing to the development of inclusive society. The system and actor approaches were used to consider educational inclusion from the perspective of a wide range of actors. The study analyzes the main indicators characterizing the state and development of an inclusive education system taking into account certain barriers to its development. The main problems of implementing educational inclusion into the Russian system of general education are investigated. These include the definition of the object of inclusion, staffing, physical accessibility of educational institutions, adaptation of educational programs, funding, and willingness of different actors of the educational process to inclusion. The main positive changes and difficulties that arise during the implementation of inclusion in the Russian general education system are outlined. Key measures that should be taken to lift existing barriers and promote inclusion are proposed.
Sustainable Energy Transition in Russia and Ghana Within a Multi-Level Perspective

Published: November 2023

This paper is a case study based on a critical review of existing literature and primary data through interviews to investigate energy transition framing and manifestation in the Global South. It provides critical insights into sustainable energy transition in Ghana and Russia within a multi-level perspective (MLP). We argue that whereas Ghana’s energy transition concepts and policies are mirrored by landscape, regime, and niche, practical transitioning has been slow due to inadequate resources and incentives, limited historical culpability in global greenhouse gas, and the country being locked-in to existing hydrocarbon socio-technical systems. The MLP approach is useful in describing energy technologies, markets, and consumption practices. But in Russia, social policy at distinct levels is united by centralised energy law and technical systems, as well as institutional rules and differences based on costs in economic regions. This paper contributes to the energy transitioning discourse within the Global South using Russia and Ghana as cases to highlight how transition policies and practices differ from country to country, driven by economic, political, social, cultural, and historical elements with global frameworks serving as guides. Rigid application of landscape, regime, and niche concepts is challenged in describing and analysing the context-specific nuances in sustainable energy transition policy across spaces. There is a fundamental challenge of mechanically fusing a one-fits-all approach to sustainable energy transitioning in developing countries and societies due to differences in historical contributions to climatic issues and inequality of access to resources and technologies. Energy transition processes and practices should be compatible with social justice.

Machine Learning Through Quantum Computing: Validation of a New and Sustainable Approach

Published: November 2023

The onset of quantum fever in India is ever growing and fascinating. Being a common chapter to subjects like Computer Science, physics and engineering, the basics of so called "quantum advantage" or "quantum supremacy" foundation is being laid. The usage of quantum computers is keeping
on increasing and is no more a theoretical utopia since real quantum computers are now available which have been proved to serve results faster than regular modern-day computers. The workings demand well established such as Shor's and Grover's Algorithms. This paper is a short epiphany of
the degree and heights of usage of quantum computers in the field of machine learning. An exponential rise has taken place in understanding machine learning through quantum computing due to its vast ranges through which it can be applied. For instance, if a classical artificial neuron can
produce results up to N dimensions, then a corresponding quantum perception has the ability of processing results in about 2N dimensions. This paper rather excavates the above-mentioned possibilities and tries for understanding new prospects, keeping in mind that quantum machine
intelligence will probably be the pioneering research field in the years to come.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Giant omphalocele (GO) is a complex condition for which many surgical treatments have been developed; however, no consensus on its treatment has been reached. The benefits and efficacy of botulinum toxin A (BTA) in the repair of large abdominal wall defects in adults has been proven, and its reported use in children has recently grown. The goal of this study is to describe a novel technique for primary repair of GO using BTA during the neonatal period and report our initial experience. Methods: patients were followed from August 2020 to July 2022. BTA was applied to the lateral abdominal wall in the first days of life followed by surgical repair of the abdominal defect. Results: while awaiting surgery, patients had minimal manipulation, without requiring mechanical ventilation, were on full enteral feeding, and in contact with their parents. The midline was approximated without tension and without the need for additional techniques or the use of a prosthesis. Patients were discharged with repaired defects. Conclusion: this approach represents a middle ground between staged and the nonoperative delayed repairs. It does not require aggressive interventions early in life, allowing maintenance of mother-child bonding and discharge of the patient with a repaired defect without the need for additional techniques or the use of a prosthesis. We believe that this technique should be considered as a new possible asset when managing this complex condition.
