Published: October 2023

Wearing face masks is crucial in various environments, particularly where there is high potential of viral transmission. Proper wearing of face masks always is important in hospitals and healthcare facilities where the risk of transmission of different contagious diseases is very high. The COVID-19 pandemic has been recognized as a global health crisis, exerting deep impacts on various sectors such as industry, economy, public transportation, education, and residential domains. This rapidly spreading virus has created considerable public health risks, resulting in serious health consequences and fatalities. Wearing face masks in public locations and crowded regions has been identified as one of the most effective preventive methods for reducing viral transmission. Using powerful face mask detection systems in such contexts can thus significantly improve infection control efforts while protecting the health and well-being of healthcare personnel, patients, and visitors. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of recent advancements in machine learning techniques applied to face mask identification. The existing approaches in this sector can be broadly categorized into three main groups: mask/no mask detection approaches, proper/improper mask detection approaches, and human identification through masked faces approaches. We discuss the advantages and limitations associated with each approach. Further, we explore into the technical challenges encountered in this field. Through this study, we aim to provide researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of the state-of-the-art machine learning techniques for face mask detection.

The impact of ChatGPT on human data collection: A case study involving typicality norming data
Authors: Heyman Tom , Heyman Geert
Published: October 2023

Tools like ChatGPT, which allow people to unlock the potential of large language models (LLMs), have taken the world by storm. ChatGPT’s ability to produce written output of remarkable quality has inspired, or forced, academics to consider its consequences for both research and education. In particular, the question of what constitutes authorship, and how to evaluate (scientific) contributions has received a lot of attention. However, its impact on (online) human data collection has mostly flown under the radar. The current paper examines how ChatGPT can be (mis)used in the context of generating norming data. We found that ChatGPT is able to produce sensible output, resembling that of human participants, for a typicality rating task. Moreover, the test–retest reliability of ChatGPT’s ratings was similar to that of human participants tested 1 day apart. We discuss the relevance of these findings in the context of (online) human data collection, focusing both on opportunities (e.g., (risk-)free pilot data) and challenges (e.g., data fabrication).

Fire Water Sprinkler is one of reliable equipment to control fire in building. This equipment also known as a simple and cost-effective method to control fire growth in a building. The systems work by blowing the water droplet into the burning area. The objective of this project is to analyse the behaviour and distribution of discharged water from fire water sprinkler. The computer fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to study the dispersion of water into the room or case study area. However due to limitation of study, this simulation only carried out by using a room and single fire water sprinkler. This also important factor as the validation of the model is based on previous study. In addition, the project also to determine the effect of different operating pressure on water discharged from fire sprinkler. The project started with the data finding. It was important to identify the reference data to ensure the generate result was reasonable. The input water inlet pressure is in the range of 10 to 15 bar. The geometry of room was set to 4.0 m x 3.0 m x 4.0 m. The fire was assumed to start at the rectangular table which is the dimension is 1.0 m x 1.0 m and 0.5 m above the floor in the middle room. For boundary condition, the inlet parameter is velocity and the input magnitude set at 44.7 m/s under 10 bar. 1000 number of iterations was set in this project. The results showed the model of 15 bar operating pressure was managed to dispense the water jet down to rectangular table. The 15 bar operating pressure of the model has greatest velocity discharged up to 12.896 m/s. As conclusion, the operating pressure was affected the discharged of the water velocity. The increase of the operating pressure was led to greater water velocity discharged.
Numerical Study of Resistance Trimaran Unmanned Surface Vehicle Based on NACA Foil

Published: October 2023

Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) are used to monitor territorial waters and collect sea data, including hydrographic and oceanographic data. Compared with larger survey vessels, USVs are more flexible and cost-efficient because of their compact form. The latest USV design uses NACA foil as a trimaran hull form with a self-maneuvering system. This design must provide minimal resistance for longer durability during operation. In this study, the authors investigated the relationship between the distance, angle of attack, and shape of the NACA foil as a USV trimaran hull to reduce the resistance. The analysis began with verification and validation based on previous experimental research. Several configurations of the positions of each hull were modelled using an angle of attack of up to 20 °. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was employed in ANSYS CFX to simulate the model. After obtaining the optimal configuration, variations in the NACA foil on the hull were performed, and the simulation was repeated. The study found that the configuration without an angle of attack, with one hull positioned in front and two hulls positioned behind, using NACA 0024 produces the smallest resistance value. Furthermore, this configuration exhibited wave interference with smaller volume-fraction contours. The study concludes that the angle of attack results in greater resistance owing to the shorter distance between the NACA foils. This research provides insight into the trimaran design of USVs and contributes to the further development of marine robotics technology and unmanned surface vehicles.
Health questions on medical licensure applications: effective or counterproductive? A systematic review
Authors: Lam Quyen , Beach Jeremy
Published: October 2023

Many medical regulatory authorities (MRAs) require their members and applicants to report information about their health on their medical licensure application and renewal forms. We wanted to determine whether this practice is effective in identifying physicians who have a health concern impacting their professional capacity and whether it influences members to seek treatment for their health concerns. Methods: A literature search was conducted in accordance with PRISMA publications standards. Results: From 7998 references found in all databases, after removal of duplicates and screening, five studies were included in this systematic review. None addressed the question of how effective health questions on licensure application forms are in identifying relevant health concerns. Stigma and fear of perceived ramifications of reporting mental health illness to MRAs were common reasons for physicians and medical students not seeking professional mental health care. Significance: MRAs who include health questions on their medical licensure applications should consider their effectiveness in identifying members who have health concerns that may impact their fitness to practise. Contrarily, these questions may deter members from seeking professional treatment for their own mental health. This is an important consideration, especially as burnout is prevalent among practising physicians and medical trainees.

Authors: Nguyen Nghiem
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints, resulting in destruction and deformation of bones and cartilage. In addition to causing joint damage, up to 30 - 70% of RA patients have chronic anemia that reduces quality of life. The inflammatory process affects some red blood cell and platelet indices such as increased platelet count, anemia and hypochromic microcytic cells. Red blood cell - platelet ratio (RPR) and hemoglobin - platelet ratio (HPR) are considered as indicators to help assess inflammation and activity level in patients with RA. This study describes hematological characteristics and the relationship of RPR and HPR indices with inflammation in patients with RA.

Methods: The study was conducted on 30 patients with RA at the Department of General Internal Medicine - Endocrinology - Musculoskeletal and a control group of 30 healthy people who came to hospital of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy from April 2023 to August 2023.

Results: Both RPR and HPR indices in the disease group were statistically significant lower than the control group (p < 0.001). The predictive value of rheumatoid arthritis of RPR and HPR with cutoff points of 0.016 and 0.455 respectively (p < 0.05). The RPR index was strongly positively correlated with HPR (p < 0.001). PLT was strongly negatively correlated with RPR (p < 0.001) and HPR (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The RPR and HPR indices in RA patients were lower than those in controls, and could be one of the indicators to help assess inflammation in patients.
Severe congenital neutropenia caused by the elane gene mutation in a 4-year-old vietnamese girl
Authors: Ho Quan
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT

Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is an exceptionally rare genetic disorder associated with life-threatening bacterial infections. Among the several genetic variations related to SCN, heterozygous mutations in the ELANE gene encoding neutrophil elastase account for approximately 40 - 55% of the genetic causes. Herein, we present the first documented case of SCN in a Vietnamese girl from the Central region of Vietnam. The diagnosis was confirmed through genetic analysis of the ELANE gene, a known causative gene in SCN. The patient exhibited severe neutropenia and a history of recurrent infections that did not respond well to treatment. Treatment involved the administration of granulocyte-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and antibiotics, resulting in a successful increase in neutrophil counts. This report contributes to the understanding of SCN’s clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management, particularly in regions with limited documented cases.

We present the discovery from the TESS mission of two giant planets transiting M-dwarf stars: TOI 4201 b and TOI 5344 b. We also provide precise radial velocity measurements and updated system parameters for three other M dwarfs with transiting giant planets: TOI 519, TOI 3629, and TOI 3714. We measure planetary masses of 0.525 ± 0.064 M
J, 0.243 ± 0.020 M
J, 0.689 ± 0.030 M
J, 2.57 ± 0.15 M
J, and 0.412±0.040 M
J for TOI 519 b, TOI 3629 b, TOI 3714 b, TOI 4201 b, and TOI 5344 b, respectively. The corresponding stellar masses are 0.372 ± 0.018 M
☉, 0.635 ± 0.032 M
☉, 0.522 ± 0.028 M
☉, 0.626 ± 0.033 M
☉, and 0.612 ± 0.034 M
☉. All five hosts have supersolar metallicities, providing further support for recent findings that, like for solar-type stars, close-in giant planets are preferentially found around metal-rich M-dwarf host stars. Finally, we describe a procedure for accounting for systematic errors in stellar evolution models when those models are included directly in fitting a transiting planet system.
Outgassing Composition of the Murchison Meteorite: Implications for
Volatile Depletion of Planetesimals and Interior-atmosphere Connections for
Terrestrial Exoplanets

Outgassing is a central process during the formation and evolution of terrestrial
planets and their atmospheres both within and beyond the solar system. Although
terrestrial planets’ early atmospheres likely form via outgassing during
planetary accretion, the connection between a planet’s bulk composition and its
initial atmospheric properties is not well understood. One way to inform this
connection is to analyze the outgassing compositions of meteorites, and in
particular carbonaceous chondrites, because they are some of the most
volatile-rich, primitive materials (in terms of their bulk compositions) that
are available for direct study. In addition, they may serve as compositional
analogs for the building block materials of terrestrial planets in our solar
system and around other Sun-like stars. This study builds upon previous
outgassing experiments that monitored the abundances of volatile species (e.g.,
H2O, CO, and CO2) released from the Murchison
meteorite. To gain a more complete understanding of Murchison’s outgassing
composition, we perform a series of heating experiments under atmospheric
pressure (1 bar) and vacuum (∼10−9 bar) conditions on samples of the
Murchison meteorite and subsequent bulk element analysis to inform the
outgassing trends of a suite of major elements in Murchison (e.g., Fe, Mg, Zn,
and S). Under both pressure conditions, sulfur outgases significantly at the
highest temperatures (∼800°C–1000 °C). For the samples heated under vacuum
conditions, we also detect outgassing of zinc. Combined with prior outgassing
experiments, this study provides important insights into the volatile depletion
patterns of undifferentiated planetesimals and the early outgassing compositions
of terrestrial exoplanets.
« Making People Better » : le CrossFit en tant qu’institution disciplinaire néolibérale à caractère « familial »
Authors: Josties Bettine , Hanse Olivier
Published: October 2023

Le CrossFit est une méthode d’entraînement physique développée aux États-Unis au début des années 2000, qui promet de rendre les individus meilleurs. Elle est actuellement pratiquée par environ 5 millions de personnes dans plus de 150 pays du monde. Dans cet article, le phénomène CrossFit est étudié dans la perspective du concept de gouvernementalité de Michel Foucault. Basée sur des recherches ethnographiques menées à Berlin et à New York, la contribution tente de déterminer comment le CrossFit conduit les gens et comment il est utilisé par les gens pour se gouverner eux-mêmes. Le CrossFit est décrit comme un « art de gouverner » qui combine différentes formes de gouvernement et exerce ainsi un pouvoir qui peut modifier en profondeur les individus et leur mode de vie. CrossFit associe des technologies de gouvernement néolibérales à des techniques de discipline pour répondre au désir des client·e·s d’être plus en forme. En même temps, CrossFit permet de faire l’expérience de la communauté grâce à des formes de gouvernementalité affective. Les client·e·s de CrossFit paient une cotisation importante pour ce service.
Le roman comique du Dr Primrose ou l’art du travestissement dans The Vicar of Wakefield
Authors: Charles Shelly
Published: October 2023

Quel rapport Le Vicaire de Wakefield entretient-il avec les conventions du roman sentimental dont il est devenu un emblème populaire ? S’agit-il d’une adhésion candide incarnée par un pasteur dévoué qui en porte naïvement les valeurs, ou d’une subversion satirique, insinuée par le choix d’un narrateur indigne de confiance ? En évaluant les écarts entre le texte de Goldsmith et ses modèles supposés, l’article souhaite contribuer à un débat de longue date, dont les enjeux sont aussi bien théoriques qu’historiques. L’examen de notre hypothèse première, celle d’une réécriture par Goldsmith de Nancy ou la Nouvelle Paméla de Baculard d’Arnaud, débouche ici sur un réseau d’intertextes qui conforte l’idée d’un travestissement parodique, en même temps qu’il explique le caractère déroutant du roman, dont les ambiguïtés sont inhérentes à une littérature « au second degré ».
Le discours au Collège des Bernardins et la tâche de la théologie dans la culture contemporaine
Authors: de Gelis Olric
Published: October 2023

L’Auteur, directeur du Pôle de Recherche au Collège des Bernardins (Paris), examine le rapport entre la culture de notre temps et l’exercice de la théologie en reprenant quelques éléments saillants d’un étonnant discours du pape Benoît XVI : celui qu’il avait prononcé devant le « monde multiforme de la culture » à Paris, au Collège des Bernardins, le 12 septembre 2008. Il en tire des fruits pour la mission actuelle par le dialogue de l’Eglise avec la communauté humaine.
Nuremberg 1947 : le poignard de l’assassin sous la toge du magistrat
Authors: Cadelli Manuela
Published: October 2023

En 1947, les magistrats les plus actifs du Troisième Reich ont été condamnés, par le Tribunal de Nuremberg, en qualité de coauteurs des crimes nazis et du chef de crime contre l’humanité. Ce procès a montré à quel point les magistrats peuvent être corrompus au service d’une idéologie génocidaire portée par un pouvoir politique totalitaire. L’enseignement du jugement prononcé est remarquable d’actualité en ce qu’il écarte, en des termes qui se veulent à la fois radicaux et définitifs, l’argument positiviste de l’obéissance à la loi invoqué par la défense des accusés et en ce qu’il souligne la primauté du droit international dont il rappelle le lien qui l’unit au « sens moral de l’humanité ».
