Analyzing principles and applications of machine learning in music: Emotion music generation, and style modeling
Authors: Lam Jadon T.
Published: June 2024

The combination of machine learning with music composition and production is proving viable for innovative applications, enabling the creation of novel musical experiences that were once the exclusive domain of human composers. This paper explores the transformative role of machine learning in music, particularly focusing on emotion music generation and style modeling. Through the development and application of models including DNNs, GANs, and Autoencoders, this study delves into how machine learning is being harnessed to not only generate music that embodies specific emotional contexts but also to transfer distinct musical styles onto new compositions. This research discusses the principles of these models, their operational mechanisms, and evaluates their effectiveness through various metrics such as accuracy, precision, and creative authenticity. The outcomes illustrate that these technologies not only enhance the creative possibilities in music but also democratize music production, making it more accessible to non-experts. The implications of these advancements suggest a significant shift in the music industry, where machine learning could become a central component of creative processes. These results pave a path to the understanding of the potential and limitations of machine learning in music and forecasts future trends in this evolving landscape.

Армянский след западноевропейской легенды о ястребином замке и проклятом армянском царе
Authors: Карагезян Гоар
Published: June 2024

Сюжет о ястребином замке, расположенном в Великой Армении, волшебнице и проклятом армянском царе был широко представлен в европейской литературе. Этот сюжет впервые использовал английский путешественник Джон Мандевиль в своем «Путешествии по морю и по суше» (около 1356 г.).. Мандевилевский текст интересующей нас легенды стал источником для «Путешествия по Европе, Азии и Африке с 1396 года по 1427 год» баварского путешественника Иоганна Шильтбергера. Заимствовав у Джона Мандевиля историю об армянском царе и ястребином (соколином) замке и сохранив основные эле-менты сюжета (описание ястребиного замка, условия владетельницы замка, проклятие), Иоганн Шильтбергер присовокупляет к рассказу своего предшественника записи, построенные на основе увиденного воочию. Рассказ о ястребином замке и армянском царе, проклятом владетельницей замка из-за его неблагоразумного поведения, становится одной из ведущих сюжетных линий французского рыцарского романа «Мелюзина» (1387 г.), которой Жан из Арраса заключает свое повествование о фее Мелюзине, покровительнице царского рода Лузинья-нов, а также французского стихотворного романа «Книга о Лузиньянах или Мелюзина» Кулдретта (конец XIV в.), посвященного истории дома Лузиньянов. В статье ставится задача уточнить реальный локус, в котором размещается замок-крепость и совершается действие, а также рассмотреть претекст легенды, использованный Мандевилем в его «Путешествии», который в свою очередь стал основой для сочинений Иоганна Шиьтбергера, а также Жана из Арраса и Кулдретта.
The story of the Castle Sparrowhawk and the cursed Armenian king has been widely represented in European literature. The plot was first used by John Mandeville in his travelogue “The Voiage and Travaile of Sir John Maundevile”. His text was the primary source for Johann Schiltberger’s “The Bondage and Travels in Europe, Asia and Africa in 1396–1427”, as well as the novels of “Melusine” by Jean d’Arras and Couldrette. The article seeks to trace the source of the legend used by John Mandeville and to clarify the location of the Sparrowhawk Castle-Fortress, in which the legend is set.

Authors: Baek Jinwook , Jeong Hae Woong , Heo Young Jin , Yun Suyoung , Kang Myongjin , Kim Byungjun , Kim Eui Jong , Lim Soo Mee , Lee Boeun
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This multicenter prospective study aimed to evaluate the quality and diagnostic effectiveness of cerebral angiography images obtained using low-concentration iodinated contrast agents (iohexol 240 mgI/mL, iopamidol 250 mgI/mL, and iodixanol 270 mgI/mL) and to assess the safety thereof. The study addresses the need for safer contrast agent alternatives without compromising the diagnostic quality of identifying cerebrovascular disease.Materials and Methods: Conducted in 5 medical centers in South Korea, we enrolled patients aged 19 years or older who were referred for diagnostic cerebral angiography under non-emergency conditions, excluding those with specific health conditions and sensitivities. The study design included a prospective, observational approach with a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for sample size calculation, aiming for a total sample of 231 participants for adequate power. Image quality was evaluated using a 4-level scale by 2 independent, blinded radiologists, and adverse reactions were monitored both immediately and up to 7 days post-procedure. Statistical analysis involved 1-way ANOVA and Kruskal–Wallis tests to assess the image quality and safety profiles of the contrast agents.Results: Among 266 patients screened, 243 were included in the final analysis. The evaluation revealed no statistically significant differences in image quality among the 3 types of low-concentration contrast agents. Adverse events were observed in 28.8% of patients, with 27.2% experiencing acute reactions, primarily mild reactions, and 3.3% experiencing delayed reactions. The overall safety profile showed no significant changes in vital signs or electrocardiogram readings before and after contrast agent injection.Conclusion: Using low-concentration iodinated contrast agents for cerebral angiography provides image quality comparable to that of conventional high-concentration agents, with no significant increase in adverse events, suggesting a safer alternative for patients.
Vessel Wall Imaging in Angiogram-Negative Diffuse Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Reveals a Ruptured Lenticulostriate Aneurysm
Authors: Phi Huy Quang , Alkhatib Suehyb Ghazi , Raymond Scott Bruce , Choudhri Omar Aftab , Song Jae Won
Published: June 2024

A patient presented with acute onset headache and subsequent unconsciousness. The neurologic exam showed left-sided myoclonic jerking and right flaccid hemiparalysis. Noncontrast computed tomography revealed diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with acute hydrocephalus. Initial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed no culprit source for SAH. Repeat DSA on day 7 after initial presentation raised suspicion for left internal carotid artery ophthalmic segment and left lateral lenticulostriate artery (LSA) aneurysms. A magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (VWI) exam was performed given the presence of multiple potential culprit aneurysms. Vessel wall enhancement around the dome of the left LSA aneurysm suggested rupture, which then facilitated treatment with surgical clipping. LSA aneurysms are exceedingly rare and challenging to treat. Given the associated high degree of morbidity, expedient diagnosis is critical to direct management. VWI could be a valuable tool for detecting ruptured aneurysms in the setting of angiogram-negative SAH.

Authors: Şencan Muhammet , Doğan Nurettin Özgür
Published: June 2024

Aim: Serenoa repens, commonly known as saw palmetto, is a widely used herbal supplement for lower
urinary tract symptoms. However, data regarding the toxicity of this dietary supplement is limited. In this study, it is aimed to emphasize that herbal extracts such as saw palmetto can cause coagulation disorder and pancreatitis.

Case Presentation: In this case report, we present a 60 year-old male patient using saw palmetto extract for urinary stone disease and urinary tract symptoms. The patient had widespread ecchymoses on the tip of the tongue, trunk and extremities. The coagulometric tests of the patient, who did not use any anticoagulant drugs, were prolonged; renal failure had also developed. Vitamin K and fresh frozen
plasma were used to treat the coagulopathy. The patient, who also developed acute pancreatitis in the days following hospitalization, was discharged on the 15th day without any additional complications.

Conclusion: Herbal supplements are widely used in medical practice. Saw palmetto extracts may have different adverse effects including abdominal pain, headache, hepatotoxicity, coagulopathy, and pancreatitis. Patients using these supplements should be aware of these effects of saw palmetto.
A Case of Fatal Poisoning: Use of 2-4 Dinitrophenol for Weight Loss
Authors: Tuğcan Mustafa Oguz , Kekeç Zeynep
Published: June 2024

Aim: 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP®) causes rapid weight loss. Therefore, this drug is used for weight loss, is mostly sold on internet sites, and is banned for sale owing to its deadly side effects. In this case report, we aimed to report a patient who was admitted to our hospital with DNP poisoning.

Case: In the present study, we present a 29-year-old patient who took 200-mg DNP® once a day for 5 days and who applied to our emergency department approximately 6 hours after taking two tablets on the last day. He developed cardiopulmonary arrest 8 hours after admission despite all supportive treatments and died despite effective and adequate cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Conclusion: DNP poisoning can be fatal even in small doses. It is difficult to control because the drug is freely available on the internet, and urgent diagnosis and treatment is critical. In recent times, where sedentary life and obesity are on the rise, people should be better informed about healthy living and the risks associated with weight loss drugs that can be obtained illegally. Preventing the unauthorized sale of these products, which have a limited response to treatment and a high mortality rate, over the internet and early recognition of poisoning by emergency room physicians is the most important preventive measure in DNP poisonings and the most important step in treatment.
Efficacy Beliefs and the Learning Experiences of Children with Cancer in the Hospital Setting
Authors: Crossland Andrea
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of self-efficacy beliefs on the learning experiences of children with cancer while in the hospital setting. Analysis of five students' cases revealed that the efficacy-regulated processes of motivation, cognition, affect, and selection have a mediational role on the children's learning experiences and that, bidirectionally, through the development of strong academic efficacy beliefs, children with cancer may experience psychosocial adjustment and an improved sense of overall well-being. Findings support Bandura's (1995) assertion that the issue of control is central in human lives and is particularly important for those who have constraints imposed on them.
Locating Gender Bias and Systemic Discrimination in Public Schooling Bureaucracy
Authors: Jull Stephen K.
Published: June 2024

The contemporary model of bureaucracy guiding the daily functioning of public schooling in Canada is discussed in terms of its propensity for gender bias and systemic discriminatory practice. Systemic discrimination in bureaucracy is situated in a global culture of gender, founded on a universal acceptance of the duality of human sexuality, and rooted in dominant discourses of masculinity and femininity. Addressing inequities in the public schooling bureaucracy that are linked to the duality of masculinity and femininity and the resultant imbalance in the divisions of bureaucratic power and authority between men and women is fundamentally a gender issue. As such, facilitating stability-enhancing radical reform in the public schooling bureaucracy is an infinitely complex task—insofar as the foundations of the modern bureaucracy are closely tied to core sociopolitical constructs based on the so-called nature of sex, gender, and the natural distribution of knowledge-power. In the context of a critically pragmatic and practical suggestion for change, this article contextualizes Ramsay and Parker's (1992) "neo-bureaucracy" (p. 269) as a model of reform that offers the possibility for broadly defined acceptance in the teaching profession and the wider society, while bringing issues of equity and social justice to the forefront of the daily practice of teaching and learning in public schools.

Reducing the accessibility of real building sites has contributed to an expansion in the usage of smaller areas, in which the bearing limit of the fundamental sediments is exceedingly limited. The conventional strategy would be to get a deep and exclusive base for these weak stores. There is a necessity to create real-world provisions that have made ground improvement a significant exploration area. The settlement of shallow foundations and bearing capacity as a cost-effective foundation system. The foundation beds are laid on the thin soil in low-lying, poorly-drained soil. The resulting improved granulated layer decreases the settlements by providing a better pressure distribution and strengthening the performance to bear the underlying weak soil’s load. To support shallow foundations, the use of reinforced soils has received considerable attention during the past 35 years. Various researchers have expanded knowledge of strengthened soil’s support possible benefits on bearing capacity, shallow base settlement, and failure mechanisms. Several empirical and experimental experiments have been shown to test the bearing ability of strengthened soil footings.

De Patiëntenrichtlijn en het Nederlandse zorgverzekeringsstelsel: het einde van de discussie over het hinderpaalcriterium?

Op 10 november 2023 sprak de Hoge Raad zich uit over de vraag of de Nederlandse vergoedingsregels voor de kosten van gezondheidszorg, en het zogenoemde ‘hinderpaalcriterium’ in het bijzonder, in overeenstemming zijn met de in 2011 aangenomen Patiëntenrichtlijn. De discussie over deze vraag speelt al langere tijd. Vóór het arrest van de Hoge Raad hadden meerdere auteurs zich al uitgelaten over deze vraag. Zij waren nagenoeg unaniem van mening dat het hinderpaalcriterium niet door de EU-rechtelijke beugel kan. De Hoge Raad kwam echter tot de conclusie dat de Nederlandse regels, in ieder geval in de onderhavige zaak, wel aan de eisen van de Patiëntenrichtlijn voldoen en zag geen noodzaak om prejudiciële vragen aan het Hof van Justitie te stellen. Deze bijdrage analyseert het arrest van de Hoge Raad en laat zien dat het arrest de spanning tussen het Nederlandse stelsel en het EU-recht niet weg heeft genomen. Verwijzing naar het Hof van Justitie was wel degelijk wenselijk geweest.

O comportamento alimentar pode ser tido como respostas sequenciais ou comportamentais correlacionadas ao ato de se alimentar, o modo como se alimenta e padrões rítmicos de alimentação. Dentre os determinantes da saúde encontra-se o requisito de uma alimentação adequada, no entanto, percebe-se um aumento dos distúrbios alimentares, substancialmente em adolescentes, visto que os mesmos apresentam uma frequente dificuldade em manter uma vida saudável, tanto em pré-requisitos físicos como também mentais. Este estudo tem como objetivo principal promover a discussão e educação acerca dos principais transtornos alimentares com adolescentes discentes do ensino médio regular.Trata-se de um relato de experiência desenvolvido a partir de atividades teórico-práticas, executado na escola pública de ensino médio regular Robson Campos Martins, localizado no município de Paço do Lumiar, Maranhão onde foi exposto e debatido a respeito dos principais distúrbios alimentares presentes em adolescentes da faixa etária dos 16 aos 18 anos, de ambos os sexos. Foram realizadas visitas semanais na instituição pública de ensino durante o período de 15 a 25 de maio de 2023. Foi identificado um grande número de alunos com pouco conhecimento no que se refere aos distúrbios. Após a execução das atividades verificou-se uma evolução significativa no aprendizado dos escolares em relação ao tema proposto. Ulteriormente, este trabalho justifica-se pelo déficit encontrado na educação e assistência no que concerne a distúrbios alimentares na adolescência, tal princípio foi assegurado através das práticas realizadas em sala de aula.

Objetivou-se diagnosticar as percepções dos agricultores do Perímetro Irrigado do Moxotó (Pimox), Pernambuco, Brasil, em relação ao histórico, atividades, usos e impactos socioambientais da invasão de Prosopis juliflora. Foram entrevistados 30 agricultores familiares com faixa etária de 18 a 65 anos, durante os meses de junho a julho de 2020 utilizando a técnica Snowball (bola de neve). A análise de conteúdo apoiada no software Atlas-ti aliado ao Excel constituiu a análise de dados. P. juliflora invade principalmente áreas de matas ciliares e leito de drenos e chegou no Pimox no ano de 1985. Vinte e seis agricultores disseram que utiliza a espécie para alimentar os rebanhos de gado, porém causa um impacto irreversível levando até mesmo a morte destes. Dados de percepção ambiental são capazes de auxiliar na formulação de estratégias sustentáveis do governo em prol do manejo e controle de Prosopis em terrenos agrícolas como o Pimox.

The morphology and maturation process of gonads of 70 Burmeister’s porpoises Phocoena spinipinnis, with body lengths ranging 135 - 183 cm (n = 34 females) and 64.5 - 182 cm (n = 36 males) are described. Samples were collected in six ports of central and northern Peru from 1987 to 1999. In the field, sexual maturity was determined through macroscopic examination of gonads. Ovarian corpora indicated mature females (resting, lactating, pregnant). Semen in epididymides was considered evidence for mature males. The ovaries of Burmeister’s porpoises are ovoid or bean-shaped and flattened, with corpora modifying surface appearance. In the laboratory, ovaries were examined macro- and microscopically, measured, weighed and sliced. The number of corpora ovarica (lutea, albicantia, atretica) and their morphology were documented. The follicles, oocytes, and nuclei were measured. Follicular development was predominantly left-sided, but occurred in both ovaries in 16.3% of females, mainly in those with numerous corpora. Macroscopically, several corpora atretica with luteinization had characteristics similar to those of corpora albicantia, making microscopic determination essential. Inconclusive evidence of recent ovulation was reported for January. Two of three immature females showed good follicular development in March and April.
The testes of Burmeister’s porpoise are elongated and cylindrical. Of 36 males examined macroscopically, seven were immature, five pubescent and 24 mature. The histological analysis allowed to confidently determine sexual maturity status. Field evaluation of maturity based on the presence of sperm in the epididymides is a useful but in 8.3% of cases not an exact method. No histological evidence of male reproductive seasonality was found. Spermatogenesis was perceptible year-round and tubule diameters showed stochastic monthly variations. The body length at 50% sexual maturity was estimated at 157 cm and 152.7 cm, for males and females, respectively. There was no evidence of reproductive senescence.
This study is the first evaluation of the sexual maturation process in the Burmeister’s porpoise, using both macroscopic observations and elaborate gonads histology. It provides important new information on the natural history of the species, including parameters (e.g., mean body length at maturation, reproductive seasonality) highly relevant to its conservation.

Background and objective: Programmed death ligand-1 protein expression has been linked to the severity of Urothelial cancer. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the expression of programmed death-ligand 1 and determine the association with tumour grade, stage, type (Papillary and non papillary), muscle invasion, age, and gender. Methods: This retrospective study was carried out from 2015 to 2022 on fifty-eight blocks belonging to patients with urothelial carcinoma, which were obtained from Duhok central lab and private laboratory. From each block, two sections were made; one of which was stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin for histological re-assessment and the other one for immunostaining for programmed death-ligand-1, which was calculated in tumour cells and inflammatory cells regardless of staining intensity and then the combined positive score was determined and considered positive when is more than 10. Result: This study included 58 cases of Urothelial carcinoma, Females represent 8 (13.79%) cases and males 50 (86.21%) cases, with a female-to-male ratio of 1/6.25. No statistically significant association existed between the histological subtypes and gender. Combined positive score was positive in (32.76%) of cases and negative (67.24%) cases. The association was significant with the stage of the tumor (p=0.03), muscle invasion (p=0.02) and highly significant with grade (p<0.001). Conclusion: patients with urothelial carcinoma who have higher tumour grade, advanced stage and those who with muscle invasion can benefit from immune check point inhibitors.

Santa Cruz da Baixa Verde-PE conquistou o recorde da maior rapadura produzida no Brasil. Apesar deste destaque nacional, poucos dados podem ser encontrados sobre os aspectos socioeconômicos dos seus engenhos. Este estudo teve por objetivo levantar dados socioeconômicos sobre os proprietários de engenhos de rapadura. Um questionário semiestruturado foi aplicado aos proprietários de engenhos presentes na XXVI feira de rapadura de Santa Cruz da Baixa Verde-PE. Os dados colhidos foram tratados de forma percentual e descritiva. Os proprietários dos engenhos são compostos por homens com mais de 30 anos, majoritariamente com ensino fundamental incompleto, e que possuem como renda familiar principal a produção de rapadura. Os engenhos são, predominantemente, de cunho familiar e de produção tradicional de rapadura. Contudo, já existe a presença das fornalhas (engenhos que derretem o açúcar refinado para a produção de rapadura). A maioria dos engenhos possui mais de 20 anos de funcionamento. Metade dos engenhos não seguem normas de segurança do trabalho, e seus funcionários são compostos por diaristas e/ou membros da família. Os engenhos não utilizam assistência técnica, e os proprietários aprenderam sobre a fabricação de rapadura trabalhando nos engenhos. Por fim, os engenhos não possuem documentos de formalização e/ou regularização. Apesar da façanha de produzir a maior rapadura do Brasil, o município de Santa Cruz da Baixa Verde-PE caracteriza-se pela baixa tecnificação da produção de rapadura, a falta de assistência técnica, a produção de rapadura com açúcar refinado e a não formalização das agroindústrias.

A Endocardite Infecciosa é uma doença grave, mas incomum com uma taxa de incidência de 5.0 a 7.9 casos por 100.000 pessoas-ano. Além disso, apresenta altas taxas de morbidade e custo uma vez que, o tratamento necessita de uma internação prolongada e em casos agudos a cirurgia torna-se uma opção de tratamento impactando na qualidade de vida do paciente. A profilaxia antibiótica para Endocardite Infecciosa (EI) é recomendada em pacientes com condições cardíacas predisponentes para prevenir procedimentos invasivos em casos de bacteremia. As diretrizes atuais, como as da American Heart Association (AHA), fornecem recomendações específicas para essa profilaxia em pacientes com maior risco de complicações decorrentes da EI. A EI é uma doença que acomete o músculo cardíaco, o endocárdio propriamente dito tendo como agentes etiológicos as bactérias, vírus, protozoários, fungos e helmintos. Dessa forma, uma condição cardíaca predisponente torna-se importante nesse cenário, sendo crucial na investigação dos agentes etiológicos e no tratamento vigente. O presente artigo discutirá um relato de caso, destacando a importância do conhecimento dos antecedentes patológicos do paciente na suspeita de Endocardite Infeciosa.

The rapid technological progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has placed universities in a field of tension in which regulation and the urgently needed teaching of AI skills must be balanced. The discussion often neglects the unique position that universities can offer as a protected space for testing, making mistakes, and learning. After all, one of the fundamental tasks of a university is to prepare students for highly qualified jobs in life after gradua-tion, and AI has already become an integral part of this.
