Published: October 2024

O estudo aborda as estratégias não farmacológicas para o controle da Doença do Refluxo Gastroesofágico (DRGE), enfatizando a importância de alternativas ao tratamento medicamentoso, especialmente para pacientes que apresentam contraindicações ao uso prolongado de inibidores da bomba de prótons (IBPs) ou preferem métodos naturais. O objetivo é revisar as principais intervenções de estilo de vida, como modificações alimentares, controle de peso, elevação da cabeceira da cama, abandono do tabagismo e redução do consumo de álcool, avaliando sua eficácia na redução dos sintomas da DRGE. A metodologia consiste em uma revisão da literatura, com base em estudos clínicos randomizados, meta-análises e diretrizes internacionais publicadas nos últimos cinco anos. Os resultados indicam que a perda de peso e a elevação da cabeceira da cama são as intervenções mais eficazes na redução dos sintomas de refluxo, enquanto modificações alimentares, como evitar refeições volumosas e alimentos gatilhos, também desempenham um papel importante. A cessação do tabagismo e a moderação no consumo de álcool foram associados a melhorias menores, porém significativas. Conclui-se que as estratégias não farmacológicas são essenciais no manejo da DRGE, tanto isoladamente quanto em combinação com terapias medicamentosas, proporcionando melhorias nos sintomas e na qualidade de vida dos pacientes, além de reduzir a necessidade de intervenções farmacológicas prolongadas.

Published: October 2024

A Vertigem Posicional Paroxística Benigna (VPPB) é a causa mais comum de vertigem periférica, caracterizada por episódios breves e recorrentes de tontura, desencadeados por movimentos específicos da cabeça. Esse quadro resulta da migração anômala de otólitos no ouvido interno, que desestabilizam o sistema vestibular. Diagnósticos precisos são feitos por manobras clínicas, como o teste de Dix-Hallpike, sendo as manobras de reposicionamento canalicular, especialmente a de Epley, as intervenções mais efetivas. Nos últimos anos, a literatura revelou novos fatores que influenciam o desenvolvimento e a recorrência da VPPB. Estudos indicam que condições metabólicas, como deficiência de vitamina D e osteoporose, aumentam a predisposição para o acometimento, principalmente em populações mais vulneráveis, como idosos. Além disso, há evidências de que a recorrência do distúrbio está associada a fatores genéticos, estilos de vida e até variações sazonais. Avanços terapêuticos incluem abordagens para casos refratários, como a manipulação do canal horizontal e intervenções de reabilitação vestibular, que melhoram a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Contudo, muitos aspectos sobre os mecanismos subjacentes da VPPB permanecem em debate, especialmente no que se refere às influências hormonais e aos fatores genéticos que contribuem para a recorrência. Por fim, compreender os mecanismos fisiológicos, metabólicos e genéticos que predispõem o distúrbio é crucial para otimizar seu manejo, minimizar a recorrência e, consequentemente, reduzir as complicações em populações de maior risco, como os idosos.

Published: October 2024

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in digital libraries is changing the paradigm in which users search and interact with digital content. This article is focused on how the use of AI technologies improves the search in digital libraries, demonstrating the benefits of such technologies in overcoming the challenges associated with formulation of query, information retrieval, and end user usage. Most search engine systems face the problems of user queries, which are inherent in online searches. Many user queries are vague, imprecise or ambiguous with regards to the context and as a result lead to less than satisfactory search results. AI technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) solve this challenge effectively as they enhance comprehension of queries, contextual understanding, and relevance of the results returned. With the capabilities of NLP incorporated in search engines, search queries which are in the form of natural language can be understood and executed which leads to efficiency in targeting the information needed. Comprehensive restructuring of standard information systems is used by computer learning algorithms for searches by inference and instills usage in users. This study also examines the place of AI in query formulation and the different ways it can be employed; fully automated, semi-automated and/or manually so that the users are less faced with the challenges that are usually present during the query formulation process. Such increases in the level of difficulty and scope of information retrieval suggest that search AI improved the scenario.

Wireless sensor network localization based on Drop Mongoose Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Rabhi Seddik
Published: October 2024

Localization is one of the key issues in wireless sensor networks, aimed at determining the positions of sensor nodes after a random deployment. It is essential not only for locating events but also provides fundamental support for many geo-localization protocols and applications. Using GPS is a hardware solution that offers good accuracy, but cost and energy consumption constraints make it impractical to equip every sensor node in the network with a global positioning system like GPS, especially for large-scale sensor networks. Like most technological problems, the use of bio-inspired meta-heuristics is a promising solution for locating unknown nodes, using anchors equipped with GPS units or manually placed in the area of interest, periodically broadcasting their current location to help unknown nodes self-localize. In this paper, we propose a new localization method based on the Drop Mongoose Optimization (DMOA) meta-heuristic. We adopted this proposed meta-heuristic primarily for optimization in localization and then examined the different positioning accuracies obtained by using our proposal compared to meta-heuristics used in the literature, such as PSO, CS and FOA. To analyze this algorithm based on several performance criteria, including density, error, number of anchors and scalability. This allows us to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our proposed approach compared to its counterparts in the literature.

Published: October 2024

Insulators are vital components in electrical transmission lines, playing a key role in preventing electrical discharge between the towers and the ground, which is essential for maintaining the reliability and safety of power systems. This paper delves into the enhancement of glass insulator strings through advanced numerical simulation techniques. Specifically, the study employs "COMSOL Multiphysics, sophisticated simulation software, to analyze the local electrical characteristics of insulators under a range of applied voltages and different levels of conductivity pollution-a common issue in real-world environments. By creating detailed 3D models of the insulators, the research meticulously simulates the behavior of electric potential and field distribution along the length of the insulators when subjected to alternating current (AC) voltage. This comprehensive analysis not only helps in identifying potential surface defects and weak points that may lead to performance degradation or failure but also offers crucial insights into the factors that influence the electrical performance of insulators. These findings are particularly valuable for improving the design and installation of cap and pin insulators in electrical networks, ensuring enhanced durability and operational efficiency. The study’s outcomes contribute to a deeper understanding of how environmental factors and electrical stress impact insulator performance, ultimately guiding the development of more resilient and reliable power transmission infrastructure.
Climate change and its threats to water security in Algeria: an analytical study of the water stress index
Authors: Mahdjoubi Hamza , Souiah Djamel
Published: October 2024

Algeria seeks to improve its economy by improving its water security. Because the lack of water supply is considered a security threat. Countries strive to maintain their water security. Because it is related to food and political and economic security. The world is experiencing the problem of climate change. The rate of droughts and floods increased, groundwater storage decreased, and soil salinity increased, causing pollution of surface waters. Water resources are intrinsically linked to environmental protection and economic development. This makes governments plan to counteract the threat of climatic factors to water security. In this research, we will conduct a study on a water resource, as in the case of the Chlef Valley in Algeria, which is closely related to the current global water security concerns. Where the influence of climatic factors such as wind, rain, humidity, and precipitation is studied. The factors affecting water stress, often referred to as drought stress, are measured when the lack of water reaches a level that negatively affects the growth and development of plants. Fresh water is considered a limited resource that is naturally replenished over time. Due to climate changes, land use, and increased water extraction, this balance can be disrupted; the relationship between the conservation of Water Resources and water security is discussed, and basic recommendations for their conservation are also given.
Numerical modelling of large displacement shear in soil-structure interaction
Authors: Daoudi Zinelabidine , Messast Salah
Published: October 2024

This paper presents a numerical modelling of a large displacement shear test, aimed at describing the residual behaviour at the soil-structure interface. The numerical simulations are performed using finite element analysis, specifically with the Plaxis calculation code, which is widely recognized for its accuracy in geotechnical modelling. The behaviour of the soil is simulated through an elastoplastic model based on the Mohr-Coulomb criterion, ensuring that the mechanical properties of the soil are accurately captured. The shear along the soil-structure interface at large displacements is modelled through the interaction between the soil and a structural plate, covering a considerable length to accurately reach the residual state. The results of the numerical simulations are compared with existing studies in the literature, and this comparison confirms both the reliability and accuracy of the adopted modelling approach. Additionally, a parametric study is conducted to examine in detail the influence of normal stress and interface roughness on the shear mode and friction coefficient. This analysis provides valuable insights into the factors that affect the soil-structure interaction, making this study highly relevant for practical engineering applications.

According to DSN-MUI Fatwa Nomor 11/DSN-MUI/IV/2000, Independent Women's Affinity Groups' contracts do not violate the applicable requirements. Members will have even greater convenience in enhancing their welfare.
The Influence of Traditional Architectural Elements on Modern Building Design
Authors: Zhang Zejia
Published: October 2024

It is in this paper that an attempt is made to understand the influences of traditional architectural elements on modern building design, investigating how much these two seemingly unconnected entities share an interdependent relationship: architectural heritage and what are termed here as modern innovations. This paper carried out a deep dive into a large volume of reviewed literature, analyzing case studies and design techniques to help provide an answer to how architects manage to integrate traditional elements into their modern structures so that resultant buildings will be culturally resonant and functionally advanced. From the research, it can be understood that such kind of integration happens for several reasons: providing user comfort with cultural identity, ensuring sustainability through proper contextual orientation, among others. The most important findings are that the attainment of successful integration eventually depends upon the import that one attaches to authenticity and the local requirements that need to be fulfilled by each specific case—like those relating to building codes or public perception issues—as well as upon teaching these principles in architecture schools for future professional practice since this forms a fieldwide challenge in diverse aspects. It not only adds to the beauty and usefulness of architecture but also is very important in holding a culture’s identity and sustainable development. Finally, future research directions that might further explore the long-term impacts and potentials of this integrative approach in architecture are suggested.

Study on Optimization of Urban Architectural Design Based on Public Demands
Authors: Qiu Chenyi
Published: October 2024

As the material standard of living continues to improve, people's needs at a higher level have triggered a new craze. The change of view on architecture has become an intuitive perception of this boom in people's lives, and the call for architectural design to respond to public demands is increasing. This paper compares the design and practical effects of the Amsterdam Library and the Tencent Building in Chengdu for public demands, combines the new demands of the public for modern architecture to conduct a literature analysis of relevant cases, and then explores the direction and strategy of modern architectural design and optimization oriented by public demands. It is found that the physiological, psychological, and health values provided by buildings are desired by the public but not fully satisfied, and that multifunctionality, aesthetic experience, green intelligence, and humanization are the mainstream of future buildings desired by people. Refining and grasping the information of public demands and using it as a reference is an important part of reaching the transformation of architectural design. In urban building construction, the use of the cycle is generally longer, the current reality is to minimize the misalignment of supply and demand, which means that must do a good job of mastering the information of public demands and have a certain prediction of its future direction, reserved for the transformation of the elastic space, with the times.
