A Novel Solution Approach Based on Dominance Evaluation Measure for Project Scheduling in Multi-Project Environments
Authors: Yousefzadeh Hamid Reza , Tirkolaee Erfan Babaee , Kiani Farzad
Published: November 2024

The widely recognized measure for resources called resource strength (RS) does not fully capture the resources complexity of a project. Therefore, it cannot be used as a standalone measure to distinguish the complexity of various instances of project scheduling problems. Consequently, additional resource measures such as total amount of overflow (TAO) have been introduced, which should be used in conjunction with the RS. Extensive experimental studies have shown that as the value of TAO increases in a project, scheduling schemes with higher dimensional scheduling schemes such as bi-directional and tri-directional result in schedules with shorter makespans. In this study, an effective approach is proposed for integrating projects in multi-project environments, called the integrated project approach (IPA), taking into account the influence of TAO and building upon the relation between the TAO and the scheduling generation schemes. To assess the performance of IPA, we develop a new random multi-project generator based on the well-known benchmark sets, which utilizes TAO as a control tool to generate instances. The findings indicate that prioritizing the projects and frequency of the projects integration, facilitated by the proposed IPA, have a positive impact on the quality of multi-project schedules.
Regulatory-Associated Protein of mTOR-Mediated Signaling: A Nexus Between Tumorigenesis and Disease
Authors: Chouhan Surbhi , Kumar Anil , Piprode Vikrant , Dasgupta Aparajita , Singh Sarojini , Khalique Abdul
Published: November 2024

RAPTOR (regulatory-associated protein of mTOR) is a pivotal component of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), playing a central role in regulating cell growth, metabolism and stress responses. As a scaffold protein, RAPTOR recruits key substrates such as eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein-1 (4E-BP1) and ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K), facilitating their phosphorylation by mTORC1, which in turn drives protein synthesis, lipid metabolism and cellular proliferation. Its regulatory function becomes especially crucial under conditions of nutrient deprivation or stress, where it enhances the stability of the mTORC1 complex, allowing cells to adapt to fluctuating environmental cues. The hyperactivation of mTORC1, largely mediated by RAPTOR, is frequently observed in various cancers, contributing to uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. Moreover, RAPTOR’s modulation of immune responses and metabolic pathways extends its influence beyond oncogenesis, impacting inflammatory diseases and metabolic disorders. This review meticulously elucidates RAPTOR’s structure, post-translational modifications as well as its indispensable role within the mTORC1 complex, emphasizing its regulatory functions in cellular growth, metabolic adaptation, immune response and disease pathology including oncogenesis. Furthermore, it explores emergent therapeutic avenues targeting RAPTOR-mediated mTORC1 signaling, underscoring their potential to revolutionize cancer treatment and the management of related pathophysiological conditions.

Authors: Magoutas Anastasios I. , Manolopoulos Dimitris , Manouka Martha , Dimitropoulou Matina
Published: November 2024

Tourism development has a significant contribution to the sustainable development of countries and regions through job creation, infrastructure development, cultural preservation, community empowerment, and revenue increase. Within this context, digitalization in the different facets of the tourism marketspace is a powerful tool that promotes competitiveness and economic growth, sustainability, innovation, and regional coherence. Digitalization also calls for the industry actors to have meaningful integration of novel technologies and practices in their operations and strategy. Despite the importance of digital technologies as a competitive antecedent for hospitality ventures, the extant research is mainly anchored on digital marketing and its associations with traditional mass tourism activity. Evidence on other facets of digitalization is far less appreciated, especially in the niche segment of the alternative tourism marketspace. Considering the above developments, our research aim is to assess the contribution of a digital business ecosystem, including a wide array of digital applications, to the competitiveness of the hospitality industry in Greece, with a focus on alternative tourism activities. Our research draws on data collected from a sample of local ventures to investigate the impact of digital technologies on tourists’ attraction and company growth. In the main, our findings record the positive impacts of digitalization, with internet-based technologies standing out as the most influential medium to boost growth and hotels’ sustainability. We contribute by showing that in cases where hospitality ventures remain digitally illiterate, they will most probably face severe competition losses.
Does the Diffusion Profile Differ Between Botulinum Toxin Type a Formulations? Implications for the Management of Post-Stroke Spasticity
Authors: Picelli Alessandro , Tamburin Stefano , Di Censo Rita , Smania Nicola , Filippetti Mirko
Published: November 2024

Botulinum toxin type A is a first-line treatment for post-stroke spasticity, with selective action at nerve endings and minimal effects beyond the injection site. However, concerns about potential adverse reactions due to toxin diffusion and spread can significantly influence physicians’ therapeutic decisions in managing post-stroke spasticity. Current evidence shows that while the main formulations of botulinum toxin type A have different molecular weights and sizes, they do not exhibit differing diffusion profiles. Instead, the key factors determining botulinum toxin type A diffusion and spread in post-stroke spasticity management are the dose (i.e., the actual amount of 150 kDa neurotoxin protein injected), dilution, and injection volume. Other injection-related factors, such as the needle gauge and injection speed, have also been suggested to have a secondary influence on botulinum toxin type A diffusion and spread. The needs of patients with post-stroke spasticity may vary, and depending on treatment goals, botulinum toxin type A diffusion and spread can be something to avoid or may offer therapeutic benefits by reaching a greater number of nerve terminals in the target muscle, enhancing the toxin’s effect. These factors should be carefully evaluated in spasticity clinics.

Published: November 2024

(1) Background: To describe hospitalizations due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection among children and elderly patients with asthma. (2) Methods: We used a nationwide discharge database to select patients with asthma aged 0 to 15 years and ≥65 years admitted to Spanish hospitals from 2016 to 2022. (3) Results: We identified 49,086 children and 471,947 elderly patients hospitalized with asthma (3.52% and 0.51%, respectively, with RSV). The proportion of RSV increased over time in children with asthma (from 1.44% to 7.4%, p < 0.001) and in elderly individuals (from 0.17% to 1.01%, p < 0.001). Among children with RSV infection, the presence of influenza (OR 3.65; 95% CI 1.46–9.1) and pneumonia (OR 1.85; 95% CI 1.02–3.55) increased the risk of poor outcome. The presence of RSV was associated with severity in these patients, defined by use of mechanical ventilation and/or admission to the intensive care unit (OR 1.44; 95% CI 1.11–1.86). In elderly patients with RSV infection, older age, congestive heart failure, COVID-19, and pneumonia increased the risk of in-hospital mortality (IHM). However, RSV infection was not associated with IHM (OR 0.88; 95% CI 0.68–1.15) in these patients. (4) Conclusion: Our results highlight the impact of RSV infection in children and elderly patients hospitalized with asthma. Strategies to improve surveillance, prophylaxis, and management of RSV infection should be evaluated.
Soybean Bradyrhizobium spp. Spontaneously Produce Abundant and Diverse Temperate Phages in Culture

Published: November 2024

Soybean bradyrhizobia (Bradyrhizobium spp.) are symbiotic root-nodulating bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen for the host plant. The University of Delaware Bradyrhizobium Culture Collection (UDBCC; 353 accessions) was created to study the diversity and ecology of soybean bradyrhizobia. Some UDBCC accessions produce temperate (lysogenic) bacteriophages spontaneously under routine culture conditions without chemical or other apparent inducing agents. Spontaneous phage production may promote horizontal gene transfer and shape bacterial genomes and associated phenotypes. A diverse subset (n = 98) of the UDBCC was examined for spontaneously produced virus-like particles (VLPs) using epifluorescent microscopy, with a majority (69%) producing detectable VLPs (>1 × 107 mL−1) in laboratory culture. Phages from the higher-producing accessions (>2.0 × 108 VLP mL−1; n = 44) were examined using transmission electron microscopy. Diverse morphologies were observed, including various tail types and lengths, capsid sizes and shapes, and the presence of collars or baseplates. In many instances, putative extracellular vesicles of a size similar to virions were also observed. Three of the four species examined (B. japonicum, B. elkanii, and B. diazoefficiens) produced apparently tailless phages. All species except B. ottawaense also produced siphovirus-like phages, while all but B. diazoefficiens additionally produced podovirus-like phages. Myovirus-like phages were restricted to B. japonicum and B. elkanii. At least three strains were polylysogens, producing up to three distinct morphotypes. These observations suggest spontaneously produced phages may play a significant role in the ecology and evolution of soybean bradyrhizobia.
Interactive Effects of CO2, Temperature, and Nutrient Limitation on the Growth and Physiology of the Marine Coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi (Prymnesiophyceae)
Authors: Bradley James P. , Laws Edward A.
Published: November 2024

The marine coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi (strain PnB 272 B10) was grown in a continuous culture system on a 12:12 light:dark cycle at temperatures from 10 °C to 28 °C under either nutrient-replete or nitrate-limited conditions and at either 493 ppmv (low) or 1003 ppmv (high) partial pressures of CO2 (pCO2). The maximum and minimum nutrient-replete growth rates were 0.751 d−1 at 20 °C and 0.365 d−1 at 10 °C, respectively. Ratios of particulate organic carbon (POC) to particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) were independent of pCO2 and of the degree of nitrate limitation but were temperature dependent and lower at 10 °C and 28 °C than at intermediate temperatures. Nutrient-replete growth rates were higher at high versus low pCO2 at 25 °C but did not differ significantly at other temperatures. Ratios of POC to particulate nitrogen (PN) were independent of temperature under nutrient-replete conditions (mean ± standard deviation = 5.07 ± 0.48 g g−1) and under nitrate-limited conditions at half the nutrient-replete growth rates at the same temperature and pCO2 (5.52 ± 0.60 g g−1), but POC/PN ratios were significantly higher at low pCO2 (7.26 ± 0.88 g g−1) versus high pCO2 (5.52 ± 0.59 g g−1). Ratios of POC to chlorophyll a were positively correlated with temperature under nitrate-limited conditions and negatively correlated with temperature under nutrient-replete conditions. The ratio of productivity indices under nitrate-limited and nutrient-replete conditions was positively correlated with temperature and exceeded 1.0 at temperatures of 15 °C or higher. Growth efficiencies were significantly reduced at suboptimal and supraoptimal temperatures and by a transition from nutrient-replete to nitrate-limited conditions, but they were not significantly different under high and low pCO2 conditions. Calcification by this strain of E. huxleyi appeared to be very insensitive to environmental conditions over the range of conditions that we examined.

Authors: Waqas Muhammad , Humphries Usa Wannasingha , Hlaing Phyo Thandar , Ahmad Shakeel
Published: November 2024

Seasonal precipitation forecasting (SPF) is critical for effective water resource management and risk mitigation. Large-scale climate drivers significantly influence regional climatic patterns and forecast accuracy. This study establishes relationships between key climate drivers—El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), Real-time Multivariate Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO), and Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI)—and seasonal precipitation anomalies (rainy, summer, and winter) in Eastern Thailand, utilizing Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Following the establishment of these correlations, the most influential drivers were incorporated into the forecasting models. This study proposed an advanced SPF methodology for Eastern Thailand through a Seasonal WaveNet-LSTM model, which integrates Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) with Wavelet Transformation (WT). By integrating large-scale climate drivers alongside key meteorological variables, the model achieves superior predictive accuracy compared to traditional LSTM models across all seasons. During the rainy season, the WaveNet-LSTM model (SPF-3) achieved a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.91, a normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) of 8.68%, a false alarm rate (FAR) of 0.03, and a critical success index (CSI) of 0.97, indicating minimal error and exceptional event detection capabilities. In contrast, traditional LSTM models yielded an R2 of 0.85, an NRMSE of 10.28%, a FAR of 0.20, and a CSI of 0.80. For the summer season, the WaveNet-LSTM model (SPF-1) outperformed the traditional model with an R2 of 0.87 (compared to 0.50 for the traditional model), an NRMSE of 12.01% (versus 25.37%), a FAR of 0.09 (versus 0.30), and a CSI of 0.83 (versus 0.60). In the winter season, the WaveNet-LSTM model demonstrated similar improvements, achieving an R2 of 0.79 and an NRMSE of 13.69%, with a FAR of 0.23, compared to the traditional LSTM’s R2 of 0.20 and NRMSE of 41.46%. These results highlight the superior reliability and accuracy of the WaveNet-LSTM model for operational seasonal precipitation forecasting (SPF). The integration of large-scale climate drivers and wavelet-decomposed features significantly enhances forecasting performance, underscoring the importance of selecting appropriate predictors for climatological and hydrological studies.

Published: November 2024

“El Aerolito” is the most biodiverse cenote cave globally, home to Poecilia velifera and Gambusia yucatana. However, their trophic niches and interactions remain undescribed. A total of 53 P. velifera and 38 G. yucatana were analyzed for stable isotopes, along with water samples for chlorophyll, silicates, and physical–chemical parameters. Data were collected during the norths, rainy, and dry seasons in the year 2023. Isotopic niches were calculated, and a PCA analysis was used to assess environmental factors. P. velifera showed δ13C values of −25.4‰, −25.7‰, and −24.5‰, whereas G. yucatana exhibited −24.8‰, −24.0‰, and −24.2‰ across seasons. Niche size varied, with the largest during the norths and smallest during the rainy season, indicating seasonality. PCA linked environmental parameters (e.g., temperature and dissolved oxygen) to resource availability, suggesting niche shifts due to rainfall. Mangroves and insects contributed to the isotopic signals, with shifts observed during the dry and rainy seasons. The highest water parameter values occurred during the dry and rainy seasons, while the lowest was during the norths. The system, nutrient-poor and lacking chlorophyll production, relies on external sources. The study concludes that isotopic niches are dynamic and seasonally influenced by abiotic factors, especially rainfall.

Published: November 2024

Accurately predicting lithium-ion batteries’ state of temperature (SOT) is crucial for effective battery safety and health management. This study introduces a novel approach to SOT prediction based on voltage and temperature profiles during the abusive discharging process, aiming for enhanced prediction accuracy and evaluating the safety range. The duration of equal voltage discharge and temperature variation during discharge are considered temperature indicators. Linear regression and R2 analyses are employed to assess the relationship and variance over different discharge–charge cycles of varied duration between the complete life cycle and its temperature variance. In this study, a decision tree (DT) and an artificial neural network (ANN) are employed to estimate the SOT of a Li-ion battery. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed methods are validated using ageing data from eVTOL charge–discharge cycles through numerical simulations. The results demonstrate that for the short cruise range of 600 s, the DT algorithm with an R2 regression value of 6.17% demonstrates better performance than ANN, whereas for the bigger cruise range of 1000 s, the ANN model with an R2 regression value of 5.06 percent was better suited than DT. It is concluded that both DT and ANN outperform other methods in predicting the SOT of lithium-ion batteries.
La renovación de los altos cargos en la Unión Europea en 2024 y sus posibles efectos en la política hacia América Latina
Authors: Ruano Lorena
Published: November 2024

La renovación de los altos cargos en la Unión Europea (UE) en 2024 tendrá efectos en la política hacia América Latina (AL). Este documento plantea que los cambios serán más de énfasis que de fondo, con cierta continuidad en relaciones económicas y de cooperación, aunque se prevé un aumento del proteccionismo comercial, restricciones migratorias y el alejamiento de la Agenda 2030. A pesar de un deseo de mayor protagonismo internacional para la UE, es incierto si esto implicará una mayor atención a AL. El texto se divide en dos secciones. La primera analiza las relaciones actuales entre la UE y AL, abarcando diplomacia, economía y cooperación. Destaca que la relación ha sido afectada por crisis internas en AL y Europa, lo que ha llevado a un estancamiento en la colaboración. La cumbre UE-CELAC de 2023 fue un intento de revitalizar estos vínculos tras años sin encuentros. La segunda gran sección revisa los cambios institucionales recientes en la UE y su posible influencia en la política hacia AL. Se observa un aumento del extremismo político y una fragmentación parlamentaria que complican la toma de decisiones, lo cual favorece la inercia y la autonomía de la Comisión Europea. Las relaciones bilaterales han predominado, con tensiones notables entre países como México y España, mientras que con Chile y Colombia se han mantenido positivas. El acuerdo con Mercosur podría cerrarse, aunque su ratificación enfrenta retos reales. Finalmente, el contexto geopolítico actual, incluido el conflicto en Ucrania, ha reducido el espacio para AL en la agenda europea. A pesar de todo, esta es la región del mundo en desarrollo con la que la UE tiene la relación más institucionalizada y comparte más valores, lo cual puede servir para enfrentar las tentaciones unilateralistas.
An improved evaluation method of industrial noise based on level of noise pollution and kurtosis-weighted cumulative noise exposure
Authors: Tao Zhang , Baiyang Hu , Yanzhang Geng , Heng Wang , Weijie Liu
Published: November 2024

While industry development has improved people's lives, industrial noise has also caused negative impacts. Industrial noise cannot be avoided in industrial environments. It is essential to accurately evaluate industrial noise. Most existing industrial noise evaluation methods consider
the factors of industrial noise but ignore the factors of human perception and cannot accurately reflect the subjective auditory perception of humans. The paper proposes an industrial noise evaluation method, LCINE, based on level of noise pollution (LNP) and kurtosis-weighted cumulative noise
exposure. First, statistical regression is used to determine the LNP constant based on improved Robinson's method. The consideration of both industrial noise and individual worker in improved method makes the constant suitable for evaluating industrial noise. Second, the improved LNP is combined
with kurtosis to determine the intensity evaluation item. Kurtosis is used to capture the extremity of outliers and amplitude variations effectively in statistics, so kurtosis accurately reflects sound peaks and intensity here. Then, the exposure time evaluation item is determined by combining
kurtosis with exposure time. Finally, the normalization method is used to allocate theweights of the intensity evaluation item and the exposure time evaluation item, which can unify the measurement units and reduce the adverse effects caused by extreme data. The superiority of LCINE is verified
through methods including correlation test, paired-samples t test, partial regression sum of squares test, and subjective evaluation. The results indicate that the method LCINE can more accurately evaluate industrial noise and is more consistent with the subjective auditory perception of humans.
Conditions for sound absorption caused by longitudinal vibration of lightweight powder
Authors: Sakamoto Shuichi , Saito Ren , Jindai Keisuke , Ikeda Koki
Published: November 2024

It has been reported that powder layers composed of powder materials with a grain diameter of several tens of micrometers exhibit significant sound absorption capabilities in the low-frequency range when the bulk powder density is low. In a previous study, a model considered factors
like “powder vibration” and “sound wave attenuation due to gaps between powders.” The remaining challenge lies in the unknown conditions under which a powder with a high sound absorption coefficient is formed through the attenuation of acoustic energy due to the longitudinal
vibrations of the powder. In this study, we aimed to estimate these conditions based on the grain size and bulk density. The relationship between the “areal density per grain layer,” expressed as “grain diameter X bulk density,” and the first-order sound absorption
peak value revealed that the sound absorption coefficient increases as the areal density per grain layer decreases.

Published: November 2024

The super-small-particle-filtering stainless steel (SSPFSS) wire cloth can serve as a front cover on resonators in mufflers, offering a broader noise reduction bandwidth compared to the resonators themselves. Like micro-perforated panels (MPPs), the SSPFSS wire cloth provides flexibility
in resonator design and manufacturing. In this study, we conduct measurements of the transfer impedance of SSPFSS cloths and sound absorption coefficients of absorbers covered by SSPFSS cloths. For comparison purposes, we also calculate the sound absorption coefficient of foam and various
absorbers covered by MPPs, traditional perforated panels, and fabric using referenced empirical equations.
Advances in elastomeric mount concepts for quasi-zero stiffness isolation
Authors: Merrifield Ava , Fredette Luke
Published: November 2024

Quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) mounts can exploit geometric nonlinearity to minimize stiffness about an operating point, which isolates vibrations from a supported source or receiver. Previous research on elastomeric QZS mounts featured 3D-printed prototypes but did not consider unique
material properties and fabrication artifacts that may impact the static and dynamic behavior of the mounts. Additionally, multi-axis properties and their influence on common box-like systems supported by several mounts lack detailed study. To overcome these limitations and improve the practicality
of elastomeric QZS mechanisms, this article discusses nonlinear stiffness, hysteresis, and fabrication issues with elastomeric materials in this context. Multimaterial mount designs that improve strength and stability are considered, and their effectiveness for QZS isolation is experimentally
evaluated. System-level dynamics are presented for a box-like load supported by QZS mounts. Comparisons between additive and cast materials in the fabrication of QZS mounts are discussed, and the mounts' dynamic stiffness amplification effect is examined for additive and molded materials.
Source characterization of a ducted source using acoustic free velocity
Authors: Neihguk David , Herrin David W. , Luo Ke
Published: November 2024

A common method to characterize linear time invariant ducted acoustic sources is the electroacoustic analogy. The sources are typically defined by their internal source strength and source impedance. Various methods have emerged to determine the source characteristics, broadly categorized
into direct and indirect methods. Direct methods involve using a secondary source with significantly higher amplitude to measure source impedance, but those methods are unable to determine source strength. Indirect methods vary acoustic loads to obtain both source strength and source impedance,
but accuracy depends on appropriate load combinations. In this research, we propose an inverse method to determine the acoustic source strength from the measured acoustic transfer function and the operational acoustic pressure. This approach yields the “acoustic free velocity,”
corresponding to a volume velocity source that characterizes the original sound source. Subsequently, the source impedance is obtained using the acoustic free velocity in conjunction with the load impedance and acoustic pressure in the acoustic circuit. The method is demonstrated using a compressor
driver source attached to an impedance tube. Validation of the measured source strength and source impedance is conducted using a two-load method. Prediction of muffler insertion loss shows good correlation with experimental measurements.

Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Kudriavtcev M. M
Published: November 2024

The article suggests the possibility of understanding legal hermeneutics as a form of existence of law. The classical approach to the hermeneutics of law implies the establishment of the original meaning of the norm and its most correct adaptation. The proposed approach is based on the fact that the interpretation of a norm as a process sets the context of legal practices, and this context determines, in turn, the existence of a legal norm.

Published: November 2024

The authors examined the concept of meaning, which became a preamble to the authors’ study of new complex meanings. For this purpose, the authors analyzed this phenomenon and studied the processes of their formation, formulation and transmission by the researcher. The specifics of the formation of new difficult Senses in the context of the study of the process of creating innovations are studied. The authors also formed an approach that allows structuring the identification of difficult concepts, the definitions of which cannot be effectively defined in a generic form. In addition, Frege's semantic triangle was used to explain the concept of Sense. To do this, the authors proposed firstly four leading questions explaining the concept of Sense, and secondly, a hypothesis based on the concept of K. Popper is proposed. The authors announced a communication scheme for the transmission of new difficult Senses, presenting a model of communication between the creator of a new difficult sense and its recipient that is significant for the purposes of this study and its continuation. The authors stated their intention to continue to study this topic and formed the direction of their future research, including those related to the study of the effectiveness of education of new difficult Senses.

The paper focuses on the religious ideas of the series «Westworld». The meanings of the labyrinth as a place of gaining self-awareness and a space of pagan sacrifices are revealed. It is shown that in the series the creation of the world and man demonstrates the features of various religious systems: Old Testament monotheism, Zoroastrian dualism and Christianity. Parallels are drawn between the development of the plot of the second season and the biblical plot of the Exodus. The symbolism of the Tower of Babel in the third and fourth seasons of the series is analyzed, as well as the concept of Christian sacrifice given by means of technology in the post-Christian world.

Machine Translation (MT) is a crucial application of Natural language Processing (NLP). This MT technique automatic and based on computers. One of the most modern techniques adopted in MT is Machine Learning (ML). Over the past few years, ML has grown in popularity during MT process among researchers. Ambiguity is a major challenge in MT. Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is a common technique for solving the ambiguity problem. ML approaches are commonly used for the WSD techniques and are used for training and testing purposes. The outcome prediction of the test data gives encouraging results. Text classification is one of the most significant techniques for resolving the WSD. In this paper, we have analyzed some common supervised ML text classification algorithms and also proposed a “hybrid model” called “AmbiF.” We have compared the results of all analyzed algorithms with the proposed model “AmbiF. The analyzed supervised algorithms are Decision Tree (DT), Bayesian network, Support Vector Machines (SVMs), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Random Forest (RF), and Logistic Regression (LR). The range of accuracy for all the algorithms that were examined is between sixty-eight and eighty-four percent. To improve the accuracy of the AmbiF model, we have merged the DT, SVM, and Naïve Bayes (NB)-classifier approach. For testing the model, we have used the ten-fold cross-validation test method. The AmbiF model’s accuracy has been reported eighty-five percent. Comparing the AmbiF model to all other analyzed supervised ML classification algorithms, it has also demonstrated great precision, recall, and F-score. Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA)’s ML-tool is used to analyze the algorithms and the AmbiF model.

Tamil lang Task-Specific Prompts (TSP) is an advanced machine translation system that seamlessly converts Tamil text into Tamil Sign Language. This innovative system integrates cutting-edge neural machine translation and motion graph technology to automatically generate sign language from the input text. The process involves a meticulous analysis of the morpho-syntactic structure of the Tamil sentence, followed by its conversion into American Sign Language (ASL) notation. This notation generates gloss, serving as a pivotal element for constructing a motion graph. The motion graph is then utilized to create pose sequences that align with the generated gloss. This pioneering approach represents the first complete pipeline for accurately translating Tamil language text into corresponding sign sequences. To evaluate its translation capabilities, this approach undergoes both quantitative and qualitative assessments using a custom-built dataset. Furthermore, its performance is compared with a German language translation system, providing valuable insights into its effectiveness.

Introdução: As neoplasias pulmonares são as principais causas de incidência e mortalidade por câncer no mundo, especialmente no Brasil. A relação entre tabagismo e câncer pulmonar é bem documentada, e a incidência está ligada ao tempo de exposição ao fumo. O aumento do uso de cigarros eletrônicos nos últimos anos tem contribuído para essa persistência. Objetivo: Este estudo visa analisar a incidência de câncer de pulmão em indivíduos até 50 anos, entre 2013 e 2023, e investigar sua relação com o uso de cigarros eletrônicos. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico descritivo e transversal, utilizando dados do DATASUS por meio do painel Oncológico. A análise considera um recorte temporal dos últimos 10 anos, avaliando o perfil demográfico por faixa etária, sexo e região, e relacionando esses dados a artigos da mesma temática. Resultados e Discussão: Foram diagnosticados 120.928 pacientes com neoplasia maligna dos brônquios e pulmões, dos quais 11.873 tinham menos de 50 anos, representando 9,81% do total. Observou-se um predomínio da faixa etária de 45 a 49 anos (n=44,2%). Entre 2017 e 2018, ocorreu um aumento significativo de 32,52%, com variações mínimas até 2023. O estudo também revelou predomínio do sexo feminino e concentração nas regiões Sul e Sudeste. Conclusão: Este estudo destaca o impacto dos cigarros eletrônicos na incidência de câncer de pulmão, com consequências preocupantes, especialmente entre pacientes mais jovens, em sua maioria do sexo feminino.

Durante o atendimento odontológico, o cirurgião dentista deve criar um vínculo profissional entre o paciente e seus familiares a fim de acolher, promover saúde e identificar todo o histórico étnico, socioeconômico, comportamental e cultural. O cirurgião dentista, especialmente os profissionais que trabalham na área da Odontopediatria, também tem o papel de observar as manifestações orais, realizar uma breve análise comportamental dos seus pacientes, para que, em conjunto, consiga detectar possíveis sinais clínicos que indiquem abuso sexual e negligência infantil e como deverá ser a conduta adequada nestes casos. O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de abordar a importância do cirurgião dentista na detecção dos casos de abuso e negligência infantil através do contato direto com a saúde oral dos seus pacientes junto ao estudo comportamental do paciente e da família, contribuindo para a proteção e identificação precoce e o dever como profissional perante testemunha de violência infantil.

A reconstrução mamária é fundamental para melhorar a qualidade de vida de pacientes que passaram por mastectomia radical, reduzindo o estresse psicossocial e desempenhando um papel crucial no tratamento do câncer de mama. A reconstrução microvascular autóloga, como a realizada com retalho DIEP ou retalho TRAM livre de preservação muscular, tende a produzir resultados clínicos significativos. No entanto, essa técnica pode apresentar diversas complicações perioperatórias, intraoperatórias e pós-operatórias, principalmente associadas a dificuldades técnicas na mobilização do retalho e erros na preparação e manejo do paciente. Dessa forma realizou-se uma revisão sistemática de literatura por meio da plataforma pubmed, com seleção e análise criteriosa dos artigos, a fim de elucidar os aspectos reconstrução de parede torácica com retalho em pacientes de câncer de mama. Nesta revisão, foi identificado que o uso de técnicas autólogas de reconstrução, como os retalhos DIEP, SIEA (Superficial Inferior Epigastric Artery), e GAP (Gluteal Artery Perforator), oferece a vantagem de utilizar tecido da própria paciente, o que pode resultar em uma aparência mais natural e menos reações adversas a materiais sintéticos. Onde, é monitorado por técnicas avançadas de termografia infravermelha, doppler e oximetria, fora que o manejo do paciente é rigoroso para melhor experiência de recuperação. No entanto, há várias complicações perioperatórias, intraoperatórias e pós-operatórias relatadas durante a cirurgia de reconstrução mamária com retalho DIEP, sendo por complicações devido a erros na preparação do paciente e/ou complicações associadas à dificuldade técnica. Portanto, uma reconstrução cirúrgica bem-sucedida sem complicações é a prioridade de qualquer cirurgião. Então, pesquisas contínuas e desenvolvimento tecnológico são essenciais para otimizar a segurança e eficácia dessa promissora modalidade terapêutica.
