In our recent study, the attempt to classify neurosurgical operative reports into routinely used expert-derived classes exhibited an F-score not exceeding 0.74. This study aimed to test how improving the classifier (target variable) affected the short text classification with deep learning on real-world data. We redesigned the target variable based on three strict principles when applicable: pathology, localization, and manipulation type. The deep learning significantly improved with the best result of operative report classification into 13 classes (accuracy = 0.995, F1 = 0.990). Reasonable text classification with machine learning should be a two-way process: the model performance must be ensured by the unambiguous textual representation reflected in corresponding target variables. At the same time, the validity of human-generated codification can be inspected via machine learning.

Authors: Gharehbaghi Arash , Partovi Elaheh , Babic Ankica
Published: June 2023

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been widely proposed for different tasks of heart sound analysis. This paper presents the results of a novel study on the performance of a conventional CNN in comparison to the different architectures of recurrent neural networks combined with CNN for the classification task of abnormal-normal heart sounds. The study considers various combinations of parallel and cascaded integration of CNN with Gated Recurrent Network (GRN) as well as Long- Short Term Memory (LSTM) and explores the accuracy and sensitivity of each integration independently, using the Physionet dataset of heart sound recordings. The accuracy of the parallel architecture of LSTM-CNN reached 98.0% outperforming all the combined architectures, with a sensitivity of 87.2%. The conventional CNN offered sensitivity/accuracy of 95.9%/97.3% with far less complexity. Results show that a conventional CNN can appropriately perform and solely employed for the classification of heart sound signals.

Covid-19 pandemic has influenced stroke care in different ways. Recent reports demonstrated a sharp decline in acute stroke admissions worldwide. Even for patients presented to dedicated healthcare services, management at the acute phase may be sub-optimal. On the other hand, Greece has been praised for the early initiation of restriction measures which were associated with a ‘milder’ surge of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods Data derived from a prospective cohort multicenter registry. The study population consisted of first-ever acute stroke patients, hemorrhagic or ischemic, admitted within 48 hours of symptom onset in seven national healthcare system (NHS) and University hospitals in Greece. Two different time periods have been considered, defined as “before Covid-19” (15/12/2019-15/02/2020) and “during Covid-19” (16/02/2020-15/04-2020) era. Statistical comparisons on acute stroke admission characteristics between the two different time periods have been performed. Results This exploratory analysis of 112 consecutive patients showed a reduction of acute stroke admissions by 40during Covid-19 period. No significant differences were observed regarding stroke severity, risk factor profile and baseline characteristics for patients admitted before and during Covid-19 pandemic period. There is a significant delay between symptom onset to CT scan during Covid-19 era compared to the period before pandemic reached Greece (p=0.03). Conclusions The rate of acute stroke admissions has been reduced by 40% during Covid-19 pandemic. Further research is needed to clarify whether the reduction in stroke volume is actual or not and identifying the reasons underlying the paradox.

The COVID-19 infection is still a serious threat to public health and healthcare systems. Numerous practical machine learning applications have been investigated in this context to support clinical decision-making, forecast disease severity and admission to the intensive care unit, as well as to predict the demand for hospital beds, equipment, and staff in the future. We retrospectively analyzed demographics, and routine blood biomarkers from consecutive Covid-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a public tertiary hospital, during a 17-month period, relative to the outcome, in order to build a prognostic model. We used the Google Vertex AI platform, on the one hand, to evaluate its performance in predicting ICU mortality, and on the other hand to show the ease with which even non-experts can make prognostic models. The model’s performance regarding the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) was 0.955. The six highest-ranked predictors of mortality in the prognostic model were age, serum urea, platelets, C-reactive protein, hemoglobin, and SGOT.

COMPARISON OF THE CONCEPTS OF DEMOCRATIC AND SHURA SYSTEMS OF GOVERNMENT
Authors: Nasda Irhamdi
Published: June 2023

The concept of a system of government of Democracy and Shura is often debated. Opinions related to the  Islamic system of government are interconnected with the democratic system arises because in Islamic government, there is a concept of shura which is considered the same as the concept of democracy. Shura is a constitutional principle in Islamic nomocracy because, at the time of the Prophet SAW, the application pattern varied, then in the development of Islamic government. At the same time, democracy can be interpreted as a government managed by the people in a society. The people are important as the source of sovereignty and power. In this study, researchers describe the similarities and differences between democratic and shura government systems. In this study, the author used library research data collection techniques. Based on the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the difference between democratic and shura government systems is the source of democracy. The voice of the people is the legitimacy of the voice of God. Whereas in Shura, God's voice must be the people's voice. The similarity of the concept of shura with the idea of democracy is that they both recognize and respect the right of each individual to express an opinion. Conversely, both have the principles of equality, freedom, and justice in deliberation.

Published: June 2023

Abstract: Corruption is an extraordinary crime, and efforts to eradicate it must be taken seriously. In deciding corruption cases, judges must consider the consequences of the defendant's actions. Judges can decide cases, but this freedom is not absolute; the community must consider it. Thus, judges cannot act arbitrarily in deciding cases. Decree Number 10/Pid.Sus-TPK/2021/PT DKI regarding corruption cases committed by the Pinangki Prosecutor's Office has juridical considerations regarding the gender of the accused, which is used as one of the reasons for the reduction. The duration of detention is from  10 to 4 years. Therefore, many parties consider the consideration and consideration of Decision Number 10/Pid.Sus-TPK/2021/PT DKI is wrong. This study aims to analyze the validity of judges' decisions based on criminal liability and the validity of judges' rulings and court decisions. The results of this study show that the judge's consideration and verdict against the Pinangki Public Prosecutor are unreasonable.

Published: June 2023

Infectious endocarditis is a disease with the primary pathogen localization on the heart valves and the mural endocardium, occurring with the possible generalization of the septic process and the immunopathological changes that are very significant in the disease manifestation and course. Based on the fact that 30–50% of cases concerning infectious endocarditis develop without the obvious involvement of standard risk factors (invasive procedures or endovascular disorders), it can be assumed that molecular genetic factors are involved in the disease pathogenesis and its complications. There is reason to believe that the activation of inadequate inflammation in response to the microbial invasion may be due to polymorphism in the genes controlling the cytokine activity. However, the information available today on the various cytokines level and the gene polymorphism in various clinical variants of infectious endocarditis is very limited and commonly contradictory, which requires a deeper study of the pathogenetic association of infectious endocarditis with cytokine genetic defects. In this regard, the expansion of ideas concerning the of cytokine gene polymorphisms in the form of point mutations (SNP), capable of regulating the intensity of cytokine expression and their biological effects, will allow to predict the risk of infectious endocarditis, the severity of its course, the risk of possible complications, as well as the individual treatment tactics for patients.

Cerebral tumors at their onset are asymptomatic or manifest in minor nonspecific signs. Nosebleed is considered one of the most common types of ENT emergency, a manifestation of brain tumors and postoperative complications. The article presents a case of a 35-year-old male patient who visited an otorhinolaryngologist with complaints of nosebleeds. Anamnesis showed that the patient had previously undergone transsphenoidal tumor resection due to the tumor in the chiasmo-sellar region detected by computed tomography (CT). Tumor nature at that moment could not be established due to intraoperative hemorrhage. CT angiography was performed to clarify the nature of hemorrhage, which revealed multiple brain arteriovenous malformations. CT also revealed a pattern of the patient: the diffuse bone lesion of the skull and facial skeleton, characteristic of fibrous dysplasia, which was first diagnosed at the age of 12. The article discusses further tactics of patient management with recurrent nosebleeds and breathing difficulties, taking into account a multidisciplinary approach. KEYWORDS: arteriovenous malformations, nasal septal perforation, tumor of the chiasmo-cellular region, ethmoidal air cells, fibrous dysplasia, biopsy.

Authors: Perez Eric Pauli
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this note is to present a method for classifying three-dimensional polyhedra in terms of their symmetry groups. This method is constructive, and it is described in terms of the conjugation classes of crystallographic groups in \(\mathbb{E}^3\). For each class of groups \(\Gamma\) the method can generate without duplication all polyhedra in three-dimensional space on which \(\Gamma\) acts fully-transitively. It was proposed by J. M. Eisenlohr and S. L. Farris for generating every fully transitive polyhedron in \(\mathbb{E}^d\). We also illustrate how the method can be applied in the Euclidean space \(\mathbb{E}^3\).

Piano etude and traditions of Russian Modern
Authors: Gultsova Diana
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the article is to identify the poetic-intonational and genre specifics of the piano etude at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries in the context of the style searches of Russian modern. The methodology of the work is the intonational concept of music in the perspective of intonational-stylistic, etymological analysis, inherited from B. Asafiev and his followers. The following approaches were also significant for this work: analytical and musicological; genre-style; interdisciplinary, giving the opportunity to attract concepts from other areas of knowledge – philosophy, art history, cultural studies, etc.; historical and cultural, allowing to identify those factors that contribute to the identification of the spiritual, semantic and stylistic specificity of the piano etude as an important component of European instrumentalism XIX-XX centuries. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by its analytical perspective, taking into account not only the identification of the genre and style specifics of the piano etude in Russian music of the late XIX – first half of the twentieth centuries but also its inclusion in the context of the genre and style searches of Russian musical modernity. Conclusions. The stylistic qualities of Russian Art Nouveau, which were born at the turn of the century, determined the genre-style «turn» of the piano etude from the «orchestral» pianism of the F. Liszt’s type (Etudes-paintings by S. Rachmaninov) in the direction of the revival of the clavier and polyclavier quality (etudes A. Scriabin). The «Toccata» orientation of modern pianism is represented by the sketches of S. Prokofiev (Op. 2), while V. Rebikov in the series «3 Etudes» appeals to the search for updating the harmonic language of this genre. The piano work of A. Cherepnin (including the cycle of Etudes op. 52), which was born at the intersection of the discoveries of European Art Nouveau and the musical culture of China (with which his creative biography was connected), is an example of a national etude that laid the foundations of Chinese piano music and simultaneously implemented in musical creativity, the idea of «Eurasian unity».

The research methodology is the solution of the tasks, by using general scientific methods of theoretical (analysis, synthesis) and empirical researches, which provided the possibility of complex scientific knowledge. Scientific Novelty. The scientific novelty of the research is the analysis of the content of vocal-auditory self-control in accordance with the specifics of professional vocal-performing activity, the essence of the concept «vocal-auditory self-control». The basic components of vocal and auditory self-control are characterized. Conclusions. Musical-auditory self-control should be considered as the only complex of auditory, muscular, vibrating, and sensations, which provides professional performance of musical compositions. The main effect of self-control is manifested into the combination of feelings that correspond to professional vocal skills. The absence of any of them leads to a decrease in skills. The level of skills that combine elements of vocal and auditory self-control can serve as criteria for the development of professionalism in the vocal activity.
Review and characteristics of V. Kosenko's piano works of the Zhytomyr period of the master's work
Authors: Datsenko Viktoriia
Published: June 2023

Objective. The piano works of V. Kosenko within the Zhytomyr period of the master 's work are described in the article. Substantiated that the artist's attention was attracted by various spheres of human life and activities: political and civic pathos, labour romance, spiritual world of the contemporary. The research methodology is presented by application of the historical and logical method of data analysis in order to reveal the retrospective data set of the repertoire of V. Kosenko's work as a performer within the Zhytomyr period. Scientific novelty. The work of the chamber trio (Kosenko – Skorokhod – Kolomoytsev) was evaluated. Works written by V. Kosenko during the Zhytomyr period of activities are analyzed. It is established that at the end of the Zhytomyr creativity period serious changes in the intonation sphere of V. Kosenko’s music are noticeable, in particular he increasingly turns to folk sources. The composer managed to leave his unique mark in the development of almost all forms of Ukrainian musical culture. It is proved that the instrumental works of V. Kosenko's great form, created during the heyday of his work, are represented by autographs of such symphonic works as the Heroic Overture for Grand Symphony Orchestra op. 21, which was included in the golden fund of Ukrainian music, and the Symphonic poem on Moldavian themes op. 26; concerts for solo instruments with orchestra: autographs of L. M. Revutsky and G. I. Maiboroda c-moll concerto for piano and orchestra op. 23, who orchestrated it on Kosenko's piano; piano and drafts of the score of the concerto cis-moll op. 21 and B-dur concerto for piano and orchestra, a-moll concerto for violin and orchestra op. 6 edited by G. I. Maiboroda. Conclusions. It is established on the basis of significant facts that V. Kosenko's music within the Zhytomyr period of creativity was marked by a new genre orientation. Since the late 20's chamber instrumental and vocal creativity has given way to mass genres of music (song-choir, solo songs on current civic themes, march songs for brass band, choirs, harmonization and arrangement of folk songs, children's repertoire for performance in music schools and, finally, orchestral works). Such changes were almost, certainly, were caused by the need for a direct "conversation" of the composer with a new audience.

Authors: Larikova Lyudmila
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the article is to review the available literature on this issue; generalize the provisions presented in the found sources; analysis and systematization of these works. The methodology consists of the study and analysis of the vocal-pedagogical and musicological source base, comparison, and generalization of the problem, which allows the formulation of conclusions. The scientific novelty of the article is in the study of the aspect of ensemble singing, namely its educational influence on a beginning singer. The article offers the author’s view on the benefits of ensemble singing and formulates and substantiates its educational potential in the process of becoming both a professional musician and a harmoniously developed personality of the singer. Conclusions. In the process of analysis of existing works the educational impact of the beginning singer’s participation in ensembles of small forms was classified as one that becomes a catalyst of changes in the psychological sphere (intellect, creativity, imagination, memory, attention, etc.), personal-physiological (ability to work, will, purposefulness, physical qualities necessary for vocal creativity) and socio-cultural (singing culture, personality culture, enrichment of musical horizon, spiritual culture, ability to work in a team, feeling part of a team, respect for other team members, etc.). The advantages of ensemble singing in comparison with individual and choral singing are formulated. The educational role of ensembles of small forms on beginner singers is offered in two planes: general educational (this is about of formation of a number of personal and physiological features and qualities which, on the one hand, are directly connected with musical activity, and on the other, are factors of success of any other activity) and musical educational (those qualities that promote to the development of special musical abilities, form specific musical skills).

Conclusions. The art of mastery on the stage, as well as for any other sphere of human activity, requires high professionalism. Therefore, today the professional quality of an artist-director of pop performances is an overriding issue of the artistic and creative process in the stage activities of a pop director.

Published: June 2023

En este Informe especial se analiza la dinámica del mercado inmobiliario en Colombia y del crédito hipotecario con el propósito de identificar fuentes potenciales de riesgo que afecten la estabilidad económica y financiera. En particular, se estudia el comportamiento de variables asociadas con el sector, su financiación, los niveles de oferta y de demanda, el precio de los inmuebles, entre otros. En un contexto macroeconómico de alta inflación y altas tasas de interés, los resultados del presente informe muestran que las unidades disponibles de vivienda aumentaron, al tiempo que la confianza de los consumidores en el sector registró una caída. Lo anterior contribuyó a que los precios y las unidades vendidas presentaran desaceleraciones. Adicionalmente, los precios de los arriendos han venido en aumento mientras el tiempo para arrendar un inmueble se ha disminuido para varios estratos en las tres ciudades principales. A pesar de estos indicadores el sector financiero continúa mostrando buenas cifras en las mediciones de riesgo de crédito para vivienda y para los constructores.
