Melanoma is a kind of rare skin cancer that can spread quickly to the other skin layers and the organs beneath. Melanoma is known to be curable only if it is diagnosed at an early stage. This poses a challenge for accurate prediction to cut the number of deaths caused by melanoma. Deep learning methods have recently shown promising performance in classifying images accurately. However, it requires a lot of samples to generalize well, while the number of melanoma sample images is limited. To solve this issue, transfer learning has widely adapted to transfer the knowledge of the pretrained model to another domain or new dataset which has lesser samples or different tasks. This study is aimed to find which method is better to achieve this for early melanoma prediction from skin lesion images. We investigated three pretrained and one non-pretrained image classification models. Specifically, we choose the pretrained models which are efficient to train on small training sample and low hardware resource. The result shows that using limited sample images and low hardware resource, pretrained image models yield better overall accuracy and recall compared to the non-pretrained model. This suggests that pretrained models are more suitable in this task with constrained data and hardware resource.

Performance analysis of pulse shaping rectangular pulse through frequency selective fading transmission channel in OFDM system
Authors: Prayoga Kadek Agus Mahabojana Dwi
Published: June 2023

- Long Term Evolution or LTE is a fourth generation (4G) cellular network technology that uses OFDM as its multiplexing technique for fast and effective wireless communication services. OFDM uses the concept of orthogonality for bandwidth efficiency by multiplexing overlapping subcarriers. But in its implementation, this system will have problems in the transmission channel. In addition, OFDM has the major drawback of being susceptible to frequency offset between the transmitter and receiver. This offset frequency will cause the orthogonal character built in the OFDM system to experience a decrease in performance. This decrease in performance is due to the occurrence of ICI. To overcome this, a method is needed to improve system performance. The method used in this research is Rectangular Pulse. Therefore, this research is made to combine the advantages of OFDM and pulse shaping and is expected to produce a superior system and can contribute to the improvement of 4G-LTE implementation. The approach method in this research applies a quantitative descriptive approach to analyze system performance and in this research uses the simulation method as a reference to obtain research data using the Matlab application.

Published: June 2023

The aim of this paper is to find out what types of violence that husbands inflict on their wives are most common among married women in the city of Ha'il, Saudi Arabia, and what causes it. The study used both descriptive and analytical methods. The descriptive method was used to achieve the objectives of the study, and the analytical method was used to show how the variables in the study are related to each other. The study relied on a questionnaire to collect primary data, including personal and social variables. The study relied on a comprehensive survey of all the studied abused women (130 women who visited King Khaled Hospital and the Civil Protection Center from September 2019 to December 2019). The results of the study indicate that psychological violence and economic violence are the most common types of violence. Physical violence ranked third. The findings also suggest that working women are less affected by violence in all its forms than non-working women and that women who have children are more affected by psychological violence than women who do not have children. The results suggest that there is a relationship between the husband's religion and his tendency to be violent. While there is a negative association between the husband's violence and the level of education and the three types of violence, there is no association between the age of the battered woman, the level of education, and exposure to all forms of violence The study recommends that there should be rehabilitation centers for those seeking marriage, especially young people.

Comparing Natural Language Processing and Structured Medical Data to Develop a Computable Phenotype for Patients Hospitalized Due to COVID-19: Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Chang Feier , Krishnan Jay , Hurst Jillian H , Yarrington Michael E , Anderson Deverick J , O'Brien Emily C , Goldstein Benjamin A
Published: June 2023

Background

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, many hospitals conducted routine testing of hospitalized patients for SARS-CoV-2 infection upon admission. Some of these patients are admitted for reasons unrelated to COVID-19 and incidentally test positive for the virus. Because COVID-19–related hospitalizations have become a critical public health indicator, it is important to identify patients who are hospitalized because of COVID-19 as opposed to those who are admitted for other indications.

Objective

We compared the performance of different computable phenotype definitions for COVID-19 hospitalizations that use different types of data from electronic health records (EHRs), including structured EHR data elements, clinical notes, or a combination of both data types.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective data analysis, using clinician chart review–based validation at a large academic medical center. We reviewed and analyzed the charts of 586 hospitalized individuals who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 in January 2022. We used LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) regression and random forests to fit classification algorithms that incorporated structured EHR data elements, clinical notes, or a combination of structured data and clinical notes. We used natural language processing to incorporate data from clinical notes. The performance of each model was evaluated based on the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC) and an associated decision rule based on sensitivity and positive predictive value. We also identified top words and clinical indicators of COVID-19–specific hospitalization and assessed the impact of different phenotyping strategies on estimated hospital outcome metrics.

Results

Based on a chart review, 38.2% (224/586) of patients were determined to have been hospitalized for reasons other than COVID-19, despite having tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. A computable phenotype that used clinical notes had significantly better discrimination than one that used structured EHR data elements (AUROC: 0.894 vs 0.841; P<.001) and performed similarly to a model that combined clinical notes with structured data elements (AUROC: 0.894 vs 0.893; P=.91). Assessments of hospital outcome metrics significantly differed based on whether the population included all hospitalized patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 or those who were determined to have been hospitalized due to COVID-19.

Conclusions

These findings highlight the importance of cause-specific phenotyping for COVID-19 hospitalizations. More generally, this work demonstrates the utility of natural language processing approaches for deriving information related to patient hospitalizations in cases where there may be multiple conditions that could serve as the primary indication for hospitalization.

Authors: Veldmeijer Lars , Terlouw Gijs , Van Os Jim , Van Dijk Olga , Van 't Veer Job , Boonstra Nynke
Published: June 2023

Background

Mental health care faces challenges that not only necessitate innovation but also require the involvement of service users and people with lived experience in developing and evaluating mental health care services. As the development of digital interventions is becoming more prevalent, design approaches are increasingly finding their way into mental health. There is evidence that these approaches can successfully integrate user experience into mental health services. However, there is no clear overview of the studies conducted and the lessons learned concerning the involvement of service users and people with lived experience.

Objective

In this systematic review, we aimed to provide an overview of the involvement of service users and people with lived experience in mental health care services through design approaches and to synthesize the advantages of design approaches in mental health care.

Methods

The following 5 databases were searched for relevant abstracts: PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase. In addition, 2 health design journal archives, Design for Health and The Journal of Health Design, were searched. To categorize the results, we collected the reported added value from the included articles and conducted a thematic synthesis in which the themes were developed from the retrieved data. The themes were discussed, revised, and checked until saturation was achieved.

Results

We included and categorized 33 papers. Most studies involved service users, primarily adults, and used various design approaches. Most of these studies aimed to design or evaluate digital interventions. Service users and people with lived experience were involved in different roles but never as decision makers. Studies that used co-design approaches exhibited the highest levels of involvement. Various added values were reported, including tailoring and testing interventions and digital interventions, improving engagement and collaboration, gathering the needs of stakeholders, and empowering participants as resourceful actors. The challenges reported were maintaining participants’ continued participation throughout the study, managing the iterative nature of design, providing a safe space, balancing insights from design and medical science, and navigating design processes in medical environments.

Conclusions

This systematic review provides an overview of the studies that used design approaches to involve service users and people with lived experience in mental health care innovation. Design approaches have advantages in mental health care innovation, offering added value and having manageable challenges. Future studies using design approaches in mental health care should involve participants as partners and decision makers and report on collaboration in a systematic and clear manner.

Abstract: Python is a relatively new programming language, and writing a script for a voice assistant in Python is simple. How the assistant responds to our requests is entirely under our control. We can convert anything we speak into text using voice recognition. This method is used by all voice-activated assistants like Alexa, Siri, Cortana, and others. Python's Speech Recognition library makes it easy to convert speech into text. The challenge of making my own personal helper was exciting. You can now launch your preferred IDE, send emails, perform web searches, play music, and more with just one voice command without ever opening a browser. Given the status of technology today, it is capable of performing any task at least as well as we do, if not better. This project's capabilities include being able to send emails to anyone, read PDF files for you, send WhatsApp messages, etc. Now, the fundamental question is: How is it an AI? The virtual assistant I developed isn't quite artificial intelligence, but it is the result of a number of statements. Artificial intelligence (AI) computers' main objective is to carry out tasks as effectively and efficiently as people. My virtual assistant is not a particularly good example of artificial intelligence, but it is one, and that is a fact.

Authors: Srivastava Ar. Ruchika , Agarwal Dr. Mohit Kumar
Published: June 2023

Abstract: In ancient India education was a sacred tradition and the main aim was development of an individual as a whole by up lifting the individual intellectually, skillfully, cultural and spiritually. Living in the proximity of the Guru, students learn every aspect of life. The teaching and learning then was a continuous process. But this unique system was crushed during British rule and the glorious eco system came to a downfall. Gurukuls in ancient ages leave us unsolved clues for this setup of education, where students outreach their maximum potential and remain focused for attainment of knowledge. Now with the upcoming generation facing huge problems related to education such as unskillfulness, lack of focus, stress, lack of moral and ethical values, lost traditional and cultural inherence, calls for revival of Gurukul system for a holistic development, and so for the need of a physical setup which is traditional in concept but also fulfilling present day needs. There are some Gurukuls running in country but present Gurukuls and especially the Vedic Gurukuls are unplanned and are just organic growth of buildings as per the need and resources, leaving the place without any character and not even fulfilling the basic facilities. Now with a change in the outlook of the society the Gurukuls are again gaining a recognition. This paper aims to find physical spaces and environment for a gurukul which could aid for the holistic development of students providing traditional and simple solutions for enhancing learning. An effort is made to find the needs of spaces in present and future gurukuls though surveys and interviews. Traditional approach in planning of such spaces is done through various case studies. The project focuses toestablish a healthy and uplifting relationship between the teacher and student reviving the Gurushishya Parampara by spaces for more interaction between the two. Creating a balance between built and unbuilt forms. Result of study indicates that spaces designed for special training, skills, spiritual upliftment are equally important along with the spaces for daily activities like cleaning, cooking, praying etc. To encourages pupils being self-sufficient. The spaces and architecture need to be simple and sustainable for promoting simple living and high thinking

As per ancient drug collection practice roots are to be collected in Hemanth-Shishira (winter) or Greeshma rutu(summer). Eranda(Ricinus communis) is an important medicinal plant roots of which are particularly indicated as Vrishya (spermatogenic). Hence study has been planned to conduct a comparative spermatogenic activity of Ernadamoola collected in Greeshma rutu and Pravarat rutu and Shishsira ritu. Materials and methods: Roots of Eranda(Ricinus communis)  collected during Pravrut Ritu (EMP), Greeshma Ritu (EMG) and Shishira Ritu (EMS) shade dried separately, powdered. Spermatogenic activity study conducted on healthy albino rats divided among five groups. Testosterone was used as standard drug, whereas other three groups received sample collected in three different seasons for a period of 60 days. Next sperm analysis and histopathological study of prostate and seminal vesicle was conducted. Discussion and conclusion: Erandamoola(roots of Ricinus communis) has shown best spermatogenesis activity in experimental animals proving our ancient quotation as Vrishya. Also roots collected in different seasons have shown their difference among activity. Histopathological study of genital organs also shown positive result among spermatogenic activity.

Steroids Induced Hyperglycemia: Its Effects and Management
Authors: Akshaya N , Krishna Ravi , Venkateswaramurthy N
Published: June 2023

Steroids are medications that have been widely utilized for a number of ailments, both acute and chronic. The action of endogenous steroids, nuclear hormones that penetrate cell membranes to bind to certain glucocorticoid receptors in the cytoplasm of target cells to form glucocorticoid-receptor (GR) complexes, is mimicked by synthetic glucocorticoids. The translocated activated GR complex regulates DNA transcription in the cell nucleus. The main factor for drug-induced hyperglycemia is steroids. They not only worsen hyperglycemia in those who already have diabetes mellitus (DM), but they can also lead to DM in people who've not previously experienced it. Their incidence can reach up to 46% of patients, and their glucose levels can rise by up to 68% over baseline. Steroid effects are often narrow and reversible. Drug-induced diabetes is supposed to go away as steroid doses are decreased because their impact on endocrine metabolism returns to normal; however, this is often not the case. The synthesis of lipolysis, proteolysis, and hepatic glucose is increased by glucocorticoids (GCs) because they act as a substrate for oxidative stress metabolism. A wide range of medical conditions has been treated with GCs. Although steroid-induced hyperglycemia has been proven to be medically effective, it is still a widespread and potentially dangerous issue that must be taken into consideration when administering any GC dose. The most common scenario requires the use of insulin, particularly when the serum glucose level is greater than 200 mg/dL.

Published: June 2023

Phlebitis caused by high concentration amiodarone infusion is a rather uncommon occurrence. Phlebitis is one of the most reported causes of high concentration amiodarone continuous infusion in bradycardia. We reported a case of patient with continuous infusion of amiodarone induced phlebitis. Patient felt pain along the path of cannula, erythema, induration, palpable venous cord. Visual Infusion Phlebitis Score was assessed and VIP Score was found to be 4. We suspected the incidence of phlebitis due to high concentration and continuous infusion of IV amiodarone. In this case report, we would like to discuss about the standard protocol of IV administration of amiodarone, evaluation of phlebitis by Visual Infusion Phlebitis Score, and management of Phlebitis.

Keywords: Visual Infusion Phlebitis Score, amiodarone, phlebitis, tachyarrhythmia, peripheral administration.

Tujuan dari penelitian Kualitas Soft Cookies Berbahan Gula Aren Lokal adalah untuk membandingkan dan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kualitas rasa, aroma, tekstur, dan warna yang dihasilkan dari menggantikan bahan pembuatan soft cookies yang umumnya menggunakan light brown sugar, digantikan dengan gula aren lokal. Kemudian penggantian bahan utama pembuatan soft cookies ini ialah untuk menjadikan soft cookies sebagai camilan yang menyehatkan bagi tubuh saat dikonsumsi karena kandungan gula aren lokal sangatlah menyehatkan dibandingkan dengan menggunakan light brown sugar yang mengandung molases yang cukup tinggi. Penulis melakukan eksperimen dengan membuat 3 jenis soft cookies berupa soft cookies yang menggunakan 100% light brown sugar, soft cookies yang menggunakan 100% gula aren lokal (gula aren Pedawa), dan mencampurkan 50% light brown sugar dan 50% gula aren lokal (gula aren Pedawa). Kemudian diuji oleh 20 panelis dengan mengkonsumsi 3 jenis soft cookies yang telah dibuat lalu memberi penilaian terhadap 3 jenis soft cookies tersebut. Penilaian itu berupa kualitas rasa, aroma, tekstur, dan warna yang dihasilkan dari eksperimen soft cookies tersebut. Setelah semua data dari eksperimen tersebut terkumpul, penulis memasukkan data yang diperoleh ke dalam tugas akhir ini yang kemudian di ujikan kepada dosen pembimbing.
 
The purpose of the study on the quality of Soft Cookies made from palm sugar is to compare and to determine the differences in the quality of taste, aroma, texture, and color resulting from replacing the ingredients for making cookies which generally use light brown sugar, replaced with local palm sugar. Then the replacement of the main ingredient for making soft cookies is to make soft cookies as healthy snack for the body when consumed because the local palm sugar content is very healthy compared to using light brown sugar which contains quite high molasses. The author conducted an experiment by making 3 types of soft cookies that use 100% light brown sugar, soft cookies that use 100% local palm sugar (Pedawa palm sugar), and mix 50% light brown sugar and 50% local palm sugar (Pedawa palm sugar). Then tested by 20 Panelist by consuming 3 types of soft cookies that have been made and then giving an assessment of the 3 types of soft cookies. The assessment is in the form of taste, aroma, texture, and color quality resulting from the soft cookies experiment. After all the data from the experiment was collected, the author entered the data obtained into this final project which was then tested on the supervisor.
Principal components of students’ difficulties in mathematics in the purview of flexible learning

The abrupt migration of educational institutions into a more flexible mode of learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly resulted in students' difficulties. Such difficulties specific to mathematics flexible learning are generalized in this quantitative study. Using Principal Component Analysis, seven (7) factors were identified as the emerging students’ difficulties. Further analyses reveal a moderate degree of seriousness for most of the components. However, the standard deviation suggests that the students' responses are spread across the measuring scale, indicating that the severity of difficulties experienced by other students is higher than moderate. Further comparison of such ratings shows that for students enrolled in advanced and major mathematics courses, difficulties emanating from inadequate learning materials and support, and difficulty in submitting requirements on time are more pronounced. These intertwined difficulties generally stem from the lack of planning and preparation, at the same time from the nature of mathematics as being complex, abstract, and notational. By considering these difficulties, adjustments may be prioritized by students and teachers in the hope of improving the current state of mathematics flexible learning. These improvements will eventually lead to sustainable and fully stable online academic programs that may be offered even after the pandemic.
