Engaging LGBTQIA+ Identities in Teaching
Authors: Prieto Kaity , Duran Antonio
Published: January 2024

Recognizing that LGBTQIA+ people continue to face unwelcoming environments on college campuses and in classrooms specifically, this chapter considers the role of engaging LGBTQIA+ identities in teaching. In particular, little research exists that examines how LGBTQIA+ identities influence how graduate students interact with others in their classrooms or shape how they approach their teaching. This chapter begins with a brief overview of the literature on LGBTQIA+ identities in the classroom as it relates to students and instructors. Then, the authors provide insight into how structural oppression tied to LGBTQIA+ identities may inform the challenges that graduate students have in their classrooms – both as students and as instructors. Next, they offer strategies and professional development opportunities targeted at faculty hoping to support LGBTQIA+ graduate students, as well as ones that LGBTQIA+ graduate students themselves can consider. They conclude with future directions for research specific to LGBTQIA+ graduate students.
Trans Athletes in College
Authors: Graves Ellen I. , Harry Molly
Published: January 2024

Discrimination against trans college students is well documented in the higher education literature, however, less is understood about discriminatory experiences faced by trans college athletes competing at the intercollegiate and club and recreational levels. With the rise in anti-trans legislation focusing on athletics contexts, it is increasingly important to examine how prejudicial policies affect this unique group of students. Using a critical trans political framework, this chapter discusses how federal, state, local, institutional, and sport governing body policies influence, and often harm, the sporting experiences of trans athletes. With this context, the chapter concludes with practical implications for higher education and athletics practitioners to promote more inclusive athletics environments for intercollegiate and club and recreational athletes.

Risk Management Frameworks and the Implementation of Blockchain Technology
Authors: Barnes Gregory
Published: January 2024

Blockchain as a technology has potential for improving risk exposure through incorporation with risk management frameworks. There are aspects of the link between the two that facilitate a way of working outside that is possible by all but the very largest corporate entities. The use of enterprise risk management (ERM) frameworks, and in particular ISO31000, has become an increasingly accepted governance standard for companies, and any use of Blockchain technologies needs to integrate with those organisational processes. Doing so should result in practical benefits for most organisations engaging with their exposure to risk in a formalised manner. This chapter outlines risk management frameworks, the ‘dimensions' in which integration with Blockchain may be realised, key benefits, challenges, and future development opportunities. The presently available implementation case studies are discussed throughout the chapter including potential usage in supply chain management, healthcare records, financial management, and corporate governance.
Blockchain-Enabled Federated Learning for Secured Edge Data Communication Through a Decentralized Software-Defined Network
Authors: Selvi S. , Revathy G. , Brindha P.
Published: January 2024

Data communication through Edge devices in a secured channel for real time applications is one of the biggest concerns. Software Defined Network is a suitable network opted for security. The Control Plane is more vulnerable to variety of attacks. Ensemble machine learning approach which composes of 3 times of Random Forest with one time of Linear Regression gives us the prediction of errors and loss of packets and hence the data will be transferred more securely. The Block Chain is integrated with the SDN controllers in the control plane to transfer the data from the edge devices in the form of a Block to the cloud layer. Federated Learning can be inculcated for security analysis prediction and then aggregating into a Global Model in the Central Cloud Layer. The majority of contemporary FL techniques do not explicitly address variances among client parameter estimates. An aggregation mechanism built on the Hessian matrix in order to close the gap. Moreover, we can use the Hessian as a scaling matrix using the second -order partial derivative information of the loss function

Published: January 2024

NK cell responsiveness to target cells is tuned by interactions between inhibitory NK cell receptors and their cognate HLA class I ligands in a process termed “NK cell education.” Previous studies addressing the role for NK cell education in Ab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) show ambiguous results and do not encompass full educational resolution. In this study, we systematically characterized human NK cell CD16-triggered degranulation toward defined human tumor cell lines in the presence of either the mAb rituximab or a recently developed CD34xCD16 bispecific killer engager. Despite positive correlation between killer Ig-related receptor (KIR)-mediated education and CD16 expression, NK cells educated by one or even two inhibitory KIRs did not perform better in terms of ADCC than uneducated NK cells in either missing-self or KIR-ligand matched settings at saturating Ab concentrations. Instead, NKG2A+ NK cells consistently showed more potent ADCC in the missing-self context despite lower levels of CD16 expression. KIR2DS1+ NK cells demonstrated dampened ADCC in both the missing-self and KIR-ligand matched settings, even in the presence of its ligand HLA C2. The lower response by KIR2DS1+ NK cells was also observed when stimulated with a bispecific killer engager. Surprisingly, repression of ADCC was also observed by NKG2A+ NK cells coexpressing the inhibitory KIR2DL1-C245 receptor that confers weak education. In conclusion, our study suggests that NK cell education by inhibitory KIRs does not augment ADCC per se, whereas expression of KIR2DS1 and KIR2DL1-C245 dominantly represses ADCC. These insights add to the fundamental understanding of NK cells and may have implications for their therapeutic use.

Published: January 2024

Introduzione: il fissaggio esterno dei cateteri vescicali (CV) è una pratica assistenziale che spesso viene trascurata, ciò comporta un aumento degli eventi avversi legati al CV.
Scopo: descrivere l’efficacia dei sistemi di fissaggio esterno del CV a permanenza nei pazienti adulti ricoverati in ospedale.
Materiali e Metodi: è stata condotta una revisione narrativa della letteratura sui sistemi di fissaggio esterno del CV a permanenza tra Aprile e Agosto 2023. Sono state consultate le seguenti banche dati: PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus e Web of Science.
Risultati: il processo di selelzione ha incluso 5 record dei 310 individuati dalle query. Tre articoli analizzavano il movimento di trazione del CV, 2 articoli il comfort e la dislocazione, mentre, 1 solo articoli analizzava l’infezione da CV e l’erosione del meato uretrale. L’utilizzo degli StatLock® ha riportato una minore incidenza di infezione [catetere transureterale (7/40, 18,5% vs 12/41, 29%) o un catetere sovrapubico (1/20, 5% vs 2/17, 11,8%)], una riduzione della dislocazione, dell’erosione del meato uretrale e della trazione del CV.
Discussione: l’utilizzo del corretto sistema di fissaggio esterno dei CV è un’area ancora poco indagata, ma emergono risultati incoraggianti, in relazione all’impiego del corretto sistema di fissaggio esterno, nei confronti delle infezioni del tratto urinario.

Published: January 2024

The integration of technological advances into health sciences has promoted their development, but also generated setbacks and difficulties for digital transformation. In different areas, technology has modified the processes of diagnosis, teaching and learning, treatment and monitoring, which is why the study of new technologies and the models that support their introduction is essential. Internet of Things is one of these models, which, in turn, includes different models, devices and applications. Due to its breadth of exploitation options and benefits, in the health area this concept has been adopted and particularized as the Internet of Medical Things. With the purpose of achieving an approximation to the main trends and characteristics, a literature review study was conducted, based on mixed methods. Two studies were carried out with a sequential strategy, the first being bibliometric and the second a scoping review. The main results allowed us to describe the main trends in terms of bibliometric indicators, a thematic analysis in terms of areas, populations, benefits and limitations. It is concluded that there is a need for new interdisciplinary studies and lines for future research are presented.

Published: January 2024

OBJECTIVES: The magnesium depletion score (MDS) is considered more reliable than traditional approaches for predicting magnesium deficiency in humans. We explored the associations of MDS and dietary magnesium intake with diabetes.METHODS: We obtained data from 18,853 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2018. Using multivariate regression and stratified analysis, we investigated the relationships of both MDS and magnesium intake with diabetes. To compute prevalence ratios (PRs), we employed modified Poisson or log-binomial regression. We characterized the non-linear association between magnesium intake and diabetes using restricted cubic spline analysis.RESULTS: Participants with MDS ≥2 exhibited a PR of 1.26 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19 to 1.34) for diabetes. Per-standard deviation (SD) increase in dietary magnesium intake was associated with a lower prevalence of diabetes (PR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.87 to 0.96). Subgroup analyses revealed a positive association between MDS ≥2 and diabetes across all levels of dietary magnesium intake, including the lowest (PR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.18 to 1.55), middle (PR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.35), and highest tertiles (PR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.37; pinteraction<0.001). Per-SD increase in magnesium intake was associated with lower diabetes prevalence in participants with MDS <2 (PR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.87 to 0.98) and those with MDS ≥2 (PR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.84 to 0.98; pinteraction=0.030).CONCLUSIONS: MDS is associated with diabetes, particularly among individuals with low magnesium intake. Adequate dietary magnesium intake may reduce diabetes risk, especially in those with high MDS.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is a novel pacing modality of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) that achieves more physiologic native ventricular activation than biventricular pacing (BiVP).

AIM

To explore the validity of electromechanical resynchronization, clinical and echocardiographic response of LBBP-CRT.

METHODS

Systematic review and Meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with the standard guidelines as mentioned in detail in the methodology section.

RESULTS

In our analysis, the success rate of LBBP-CRT was determined to be 91.1%. LBBP-CRT significantly shortened QRS duration, with significant improvement in echocardiographic parameters, including left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-systolic diameter in comparison with BiVP-CRT.

CONCLUSION

A significant reduction in New York Heart Association class and B-type natriuretic peptide levels was also observed in the LBBP-CRT group vs BiVP-CRT group. Lastly, the LBBP-CRT cohort had a reduced pacing threshold at follow-up as compared to BiVP-CRT.
The Education of Children and Youth in the Seventeenth Century Amsterdam’s Western Sephardi Community
Authors: Lieberman Julia R.
Published: January 2024

This article is a study of how the Amsterdam Sephardi congregation organized its educational system starting in the early 1600s. On 25 May 1616, the two existing congregations at the time, Bet Jacob [House of Jacob] and Neve Salom [Dwellings of Peace], founded the “Hebra Kedosa Talmud Torah” [Holy Confraternity Talmud Torah], an institution that was to fund the education of male children and youth. On that day, the lay congregational leaders elected two interim officers to organize the festivities two days later on Shavuot, the Jewish festival traditionally associated with the initiation of children in the study of the Torah. The newly formed school educated male children as young as five years old and consisted of six grades, starting with the teaching of the Hebrew alphabet, and ending with the Talmud. In 1637, the congregation founded the “Ets Haim” [Tree of Life] confraternity to provide stipends to older, deserving, and talented students, so that they remained in school. A third stage took place in 1639 when the three congregations united into one under the name “Kahal Kadosh Talmud Torah,” and the merged school consisted of seven grades. The author argues that this educational system was a blending of attributes from the Jewish medieval tradition and the Iberian Jesuit system which emphasized the character formation of its students that the lay founders of the Sephardi congregation had experienced while they were living as conversos in Spain or Portugal.

W cieniu niepewności. Siła militarna Chin w erze Xi Jinpinga
Authors: Kwieciński Rafał
Published: January 2024

Chiny agresywnie manifestują swoje roszczenia terytorialne na Morzu Południowochińskim i Morzu Wschodniochińskim, balansując na krawędzi konfliktu zbrojnego. Ich postawa wobec Tajwanu i działania podejmowane w Cieśninie Tajwańskiej naznaczone są przemocą i groźbą wojny. Jeszcze większe znaczenie ma rywalizacja między Chinami a Stanami Zjednoczonymi. Proces modernizacji sił zbrojnych, który ChRL rozpoczęła ponad dwie dekady temu, przybiera dzisiaj postać wewnętrznego równoważenia Stanów Zjednoczonych. Chiny przeszły od rozwoju „nisz doskonałości”, wzmacniania zdolności do prowadzenia asymetrycznych działań wojennych, do rozbudowy potencjałów w sposób charakterystyczny dla supermocarstwa – na przykład przez budowanie lotniskowców, podnoszenie zdolności desantowych oraz zwiększanie zdolności operacyjnych floty podwodnej. Otwarte pozostaje pytanie, jak zakończy się ta rywalizacja. Konflikt zbrojny między aspirującym a wciąż dominującym supermocarstwem nie musi być nieunikniony. Wydaje się jednak, że na naszych oczach wyłania się nowy układ dwubiegunowy, w którym konkurencja światowych potęg może przybrać bardziej zdecydowaną postać. Tym samym trwać będziemy w nieprzemijającym cieniu niepewności. „Przedstawiona książka to zdecydowanie uczta intelektualna. Prezentuje wielość zjawisk, wydarzeń, które wyjaśniają kwestie strategii militarnej Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej. Autor umiejętnie korzysta z własnych przemyśleń, pogłębionych studiów związanych z problematyką siły militarnej Chin. Pokazuje bogaty dorobek intelektualny innych badaczy. […] Praca ta może być uzupełnieniem bibliografii dla studiujących nauki o polityce, nauki o bezpieczeństwie i stosunki międzynarodowe, ale również wszystkich, którzy interesują się sytuacją wewnętrzną i międzynarodową Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej”.
Differential and fuzzy differential sandwich theorems involving quantum calculus operators
Authors: Silviya I. R. , Muthunagai K.
Published: January 2024

The principle of subordination is useful in comparing two holomorphic functions when the range of one holomorphic function is a subset of the other and they comply at a single point. The subordination, when spoken in fuzzy set theory, becomes fuzzy subordination as the comparison between two holomorphic functions is made using the fuzzy membership function. In this article, differential and fuzzy differential Subordination, superordination, and sandwich theorems have been discussed for the classes defined by using q-derivative and symmetric q-derivative operators.

Impact of video games on the formation of historical memory of the Great Patriotic War (case study of students of the Vologda Institute of Law and Economics of the Federal Penitentiary Service)
Authors: Волков Д.Ю. , Панов А.О.
Published: January 2024

Сегодня видеоигры все чаще становятся источником исторической информации для молодого поколения: с одной стороны, это удобный способ до- несения важных сведений, с другой – они зачастую далеки от действительности, а в отдельных случаях носят явные признаки фальсификации и манипуляции. Цель статьи – рассмотреть данную проблему на примере видеоигр, посвященных Великой Отечественной войне как одному из наиболее значимых событий в мировой истории. Для эмпирического обоснования выводов по исследованию было проведено анкетирование студентов и курсантов Вологодского института права и экономики Федеральной службы исполнения наказаний. Полученные результаты позволяют сделать вывод о необходимости организации обсуждений, проведения разъяснительной работы с обучающимися на предмет содержания компьютерных игр с целью формирования критического мышления и недопущения искаженного восприятия исторической информации.

Today, video games are increasingly becoming a source of historical information for the younger generation: on the one hand, it is a convenient way to disseminate important information, on the other, they are often far from reality, and in some cases have obvious signs of falsification and manipulation. The purpose of the article is to consider this problem using the example of video games dedicated to the Great Patriotic War as one of the most significant events in world history. To empirically substantiate conclusions of the study, we conducted a survey among students and cadets of the Vologda Institute of Law and Economics of the Federal Penitentiary Service. The results obtained allow us to conclude that it is necessary to organize discussions, conduct explanatory work with students on the content of computer games in order to form critical thinking and prevent distorted perception of historical information.
Dr Milutin Lj. Perišić (1873-1915), prilozi za biografiju jednog znamenitog Kragujevčanina
Authors: Stanojlović Ninoslav
Published: January 2024

r. Milutin Lj. Perisic, a specialist in venereal and skin diseases and a deputy medical major, was born in Kragujevac into a civilian family with a long history of contributing high-ranking officials and officers to Serbia. As the child of an officer, he frequently changed his place of residence and education, attending primary school and gymnasium in Kragujevac, Nis, and Belgrade. He then pursued his education at the Law Faculty of the Velika Skola in Belgrade, but realizing that law was not his calling, he left his position as a court clerk and embarked on medical studies in Nancy, where he studied for six years at his own expense. After obtaining a medical degree and defending his thesis on "Syphilis in Serbia," he returned to Serbia in 1901. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed as a physician for the Kosmaj district. He spent time in Paris specializing in venereal and skin diseases, and from 1905 to 1914, he served as a municipal physician in Belgrade while also running a private practice. He was the first in Serbia and this part of Europe to apply "Ehrlich's treatment" for syphilis to his patients. During the Balkan Wars of 1912/13, he served as a physician for the Danube Artillery Regiment, and at the beginning of World War I, he assumed the position of the director of the Military Hospital in Skopje. Just a few months after the death of his wife Zorka, he contracted typhus and passed away as a result of the illness. He was buried at the Serbian military cemetery in Skopje. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Dr. Milutin Lj. Perisic's birth, it is an opportunity to remember this distinguished yet forgotten individual from Kragujevac.

Two formulations of problems in this study, namely: (1) What are the results of civil liability analysis in settling compensation for ship accidents in Indonesia. (2) How does the judge's judgment through the District Court Decision compare with the Shipping Court Decision on the case. The type of research raised is Normative Juridical Research (literature law research). The source of data in this study is secondary data. Secondary data are data obtained from literature studies. Secondary data in the field of law viewed from the point of binding strength can be divided into 3 (three), namely primary legal material, secondary legal material, and tertiary legal material This research uses a case approach (case appoarch) and a legal approach (statua appoarch). The analysis method used is a qualitative normative method, namely research by describing conditions and facts about the object of research. The results of this study, namely, the Perspective of Civil Responsibility in the Settlement of Compensation for Ship Accidents in Indonesia (Case Study of District Court Decisions and Shipping Court Decisions) can be concluded that the Shipping Court Decision is only limited, that is, it does not mention the compensation of Shipping Companies to the owner of the goods, because the competence and jurisdiction possessed by the Shipping Court is very limited.

A presente pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo a avaliação da sobrecarga física e emocional do cuidador de idoso. Objetivando avaliar a sobrecarga do cuidador de idoso através da aplicação da escala de Zarit e planejar a assistência de enfermagem ao cuidador de idoso. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa, descritiva e exploratória realizada em uma instituição de referência para tratamento de pacientes idosos com algum tipo de demência, situada na Cidade de Volta Redonda. Utilizou-se como critério de inclusão o cuidador informal e como critério de exclusão o cuidador formal. A análise de dados se deu através da Prática de Enfermagem Baseada em Evidências. Nos resultados observou-se que 53% dos entrevistados responderam nunca, 18% algumas vezes, 13% sempre, 11% frequentemente e apenas 5% das pessoas responderam raramente às perguntas realizadas referentes a se sentir sobrecarregado ao cuidar do idoso. Durante as entrevistas, foi demonstrado como os cuidadores se sentem em relação à sua vida social, 50% dos casos dizem não ter sido abalada, porém, se somarmos as outras respostas (algumas vezes, frequentemente, sempre) verifica-se que os outros 50% estão relacionados a estas categorias, onde deixam de sair com os amigos, de participar de reuniões familiares e de viajar. Portanto, a atuação do enfermeiro deve ser realizada de forma humanizada, afim de tornar a convivência com o idoso mais prazerosa. Conclui-se que o enfermeiro pode atuar de forma a minimizar a sobrecarga física e emocional do cuidador garantindo-lhe uma melhoria na qualidade de vida.
Association between Non-Right-Handedness and Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Authors: Villafana Melissa
Published: January 2024

Background: Only two studies have examined the relationship between handedness and Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Objective: To extend previous work examining any relationships between MS and handedness.

Methods: Using an online survey, self-reported MS individuals with Primary Progressive MS (PPMS) and Relapsing Remitting MS (RRMS) (N = 188) were examined. Handedness was categorized three ways using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (1971): Writing Hand, Handedness Direction and Handedness Degree.

Results: MS Type and Writing Hand was significant such that participants who wrote with their left hand were more likely to be diagnosed with PPMS than participants who wrote with their right hand. MS Type and Handedness Direction was significant such that left-handed women were more likely to be diagnosed with PPMS than right-handed women.

Conclusion: The current study suggests that there in fact, may be a relationship between MS and handedness, particularly in women.
Renal Limited Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody Associated Vasculitis: A Case Report
Authors: Carlan Steve J
Published: January 2024

Background: Renal Limited Vasculitis (RLV) is a localized autoimmune vascular inflammatory disorder that is part of the Pauci Immune Glomerulonephritis (PIGN) spectrum. Over 90% of PIGN patients have circulating Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA Ab). Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of multisystemic autoimmune disorders with distinct pathological findings. They are characterized by widespread inflammation of vessels according to their size, their location, and their serotypes based on the presence or absence of ANCA antibodies, namely Myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA), Proteinase-3 (PR3-ANCA) or simply ANCA negative, if no antibodies are found. RLV is characterized by antibody positivity to myeloperoxidase in the majority of cases.

Case Report: A 77-year-old Caucasian female was admitted with altered mental status and laboratory evidence of renal function compromise consistent with non-oliguric acute renal failure. Imaging and renal biopsy resulted in a diagnosis of pauci-immune glomerulonephritis consistent with MPO-ANCA vasculitis with a subtype that was associated with necrotizing arteritis, a severe form of the disease. She was placed on hemodialysis, intravenous cyclophosphamide, and oral prednisone, and entered remission.

Conclusion: A high level of suspicion and familiarity with clinical signs and symptoms are critical in distinguishing primary RPGN subtypes from other types of ANCA-associated small vessel vasculitis. If left untreated, renal limited vasculitis can progress to widespread systemic involvement and become fatal.

Authors: Gao Shan , Qingqing Jiang , Zhao Zhuming , Biao Wu
Published: January 2024

Fishery is a strategic and fundamental core industry in China. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central government has attached great importance to the fishery industry and has issued a series of policies to promote its revitalization and vigorous development. In the favorable policy environment, it is crucial for leading fisheries enterprises to pay attention to financial performance evaluation and strive to improve their own operational efficiency.

In this study, we selected seven leading fisheries enterprises as research subjects and used the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method to construct a financial performance evaluation system from four dimensions: debt-paying ability, operational capability, profitability, and development potential. We then conducted performance evaluations on the seven sample companies.

Pesticide contamination is commonly found as a mixture of different pesticides rather than individual compounds. However, the regulatory risk evaluation is mostly based on the effects of individual pesticides. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the individual and combined toxicities of cypermethrin (CYP) with emamectin benzoate (EMB) and imidacloprid (IMI) to crayfish using acute indices and various sub-lethal endpoints. Semi-static bioassay procedures were followed in the experiment. The 24, 48, and 72 h LC50 values (with 95% confidence limits) of CYP for crayfish were calculated as 0.141, 0.137, and 0.135 μg/ml, respectively, which were higher than those of IMI (75.813, 72.345, 70.568 μg/ml) and EMB (34.581, 27.930, 22.298 μg/ml). Pesticide mixtures of CYP and EMB displayed a synergistic response to crayfish; the LC50 was 0.053, 0.050, and 0.048 μg/ml, which was lower than when only CYP was present. Pesticide mixtures of CYP and EMB were found to be highly toxic to crayfish. At the physiological level, both individuals and mixtures of pesticides caused severe injury to the internal organs of crayfish. Taken together, the synergistic effects indicated that it was highly important to include joint toxicity studies when assessing the risk of pesticides.

One method for detecting glaucoma is by comparing ratios in the area of neuroretinal rim. Comparing area ratios in the neuroretinal rim is difficult for ophthalmologists since it requires high accuracy and is highly dependent on the patient's retinal condition. In this study, we sought to perform neuro retinal rim feature extraction based on histogram and gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) of normal retinal images and glaucoma, automatically distinguish between normal eyes and eyes with glaucoma, and evaluate the method's validity using the measures of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity We adopted a machine learning approach in conducting automatic feature extraction of the retinal rim through three main stages: 1) image acquisition, 2) pre-processing, and 3) classification. We used a dataset from RIM-ONE for normal eyes images and DRISTHI-GS for glaucoma images.Classification was carried out on 154 images (80 images for glaucoma images and 74 images for normal images). Regarding true positive, false negative, false positive, and true negative, we examined the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of automatic extraction and classification. The highest findings are 96.10%, 98.75%, and 93.24%, respectively. This study showed that automatic texture features and classification are possible, accurate and important in detecting glaucoma.

Vital information regarding the life and health of a patient is gathered in medical records. The electronic medical record (EMR) is the product of medical record information technology development. Electronic health records and other health information systems have the potential to be useful tools for raising the caliber and efficacy of clinical interventions aimed at reducing tobacco consumption. Electronic medical records are used by doctors, clinics, and health care organizations to track patient smoking cessation outcomes and as a smoking cessation support tool. Thirteen papers from the Google Schoolar database and the reference lists of the included research were used in the review. We looked for research that was written between 2010 and 2020. Overall, these trials discovered that only slight benefits were made by several doctor-recommended therapies related to tobacco use. Following modifications to electronic medical records intended to speed up the collection and management of tobacco use during medical visits, there seems to have been a rise in the documentation of tobacco status and referrals for cessation counseling. To maximize the potential of EMRs for extra therapeutic advantages and smoking cessation in hospital settings, more research is required.

Stunting is a nutritional status determined by the PB/U or TB/U index. These measurements fall within the threshold (Z-Score) <-2 SD to -3 SD (short/stunted) and <-3 SD (highly short). Per the 2024 target established by the president, the frequency of stunting can be reduced to 14%. It has been demonstrated that there are still dietary disorders, particularly in the vulnerable age group, namely toddlers in Kemuning Lor Village. In 2018, there were still 33 toddlers with nutritional status disorders, including 24 toddlers (19.7%) with overnutrition, 5 toddlers (4.1%) with undernutrition, and 4 toddlers (3.2%) with malnutrition. Smart Systems is a subfield of Computer Science that focuses on developing competent methods inspired by natural events to address various complicated problems in the real world, including the health realm; early detection of stunting. This study aimed to develop an early detection method for nutritional status and stunting based on anthropometric standards in toddlers in Kemuning Lor Village, which is anticipated to aid cadres or the community in overcoming nutritional status and stunting in toddlers.
