Wystawa, której nie było? Allan Kaprow w Warszawie
Authors: Lipiński Filip
Published: December 2024

Artykuł dotyczy nieopisanej dotychczas wizyty w Polsce pioniera sztuki happeningu, amerykańskiego artysty Allana Kaprowa w kwietniu 1976 r. Kaprow miał zrealizować w Galerii Foksal wystawę/działanie Activity-Model. Nie jest przy tym jasne, w jakim stopniu planowany projekt doszedł do skutku poza tym, że amerykański artysta wygłosił wykład w galerii Dziekanka. Jednak odnalezione materiały i korespondencja między Wiesławem Borowskim, Kaprowem i Inge Baecker, właścicielką reprezentującej amerykańskiego artystę niemieckiej galerii, rzucają nowe światło na potencjalny bieg zdarzeń, inny niż to wynika choćby z wcześniejszych relacji Borowskiego. W cieniu wizyty Kaprowa pojawia się niemal sensacyjny wątek, związany z jego spotkaniem z Tadeuszem Kantorem w Krakowie, a przede wszystkim z planami Baecker pozyskania prac polskiego artysty do prowadzonej przez nią galerii w Bochum. Celem niniejszego tekstu jest zatem próba uporządkowania faktów oraz częściowej przynajmmniej rekonstrukcji przebiegu wizyty Kaprowa, a także ustalenia motywacji wszystkich zaangażowanych w nią osób. Omawiane tu studium przypadku stanowić ma również przyczynek do aktualnych, ciągle poszerzanych badań nad kontaktami artystycznymi pomiędzy blokiem wschodnim i tzw. Zachodem, zwłaszcza Stanami Zjednoczonymi, w okresie zimnej wojny.

Adopting Favorable Health Behavior Through Virtual Reality Games (A Theory And Evidence-Based Review)
Authors:   Universitas Bakrie, Firliani Alifia , Belami Alleysia Fatira
Published: December 2024

VR games are growingly incorporated as supporting tools in healthcare and disease prevention. Their features offer unique advantages through their immersive and highly interactive nature that may keep people engaged and committed in their utilization. Examples include games that are designed for supporting an active lifestyle and chronic illness management. The practice of using VR games is however limited. Evidence on the subject is also scant. Our study offers to look at the rising phenomenon from the patient perspectives using one of literature’s most cited theory in health behavioral studies, the Health Belief Model to understand people’s intrinsic motivation and response to their environment. We found that the need for entertainment can be a gateway towards initiating use, while more support is needed to maintain commitment. The features of interactivity and entertainment values are sought after by users and they may be the key reasons behind regular use of the medium. The entertainment is a reward to compensate for the “costs” of adopting new and favorable behaviors in health that may come in the forms of time and efforts in managing weight, moving more and taking medicines regularly. To expand the take-up of VR games among patients and users, we encourage to address any potential adverse effects such as addiction to using VR games, and reducing the digital gap to ensure better equity in health.

In times of crisis, these technologies are essential to enable (i) instant, ubiquitous network connectivity, and (ii) productive exploration of large areas. However, significant security issues remain in these systems as WMNs are vulnerable to routing attacks, which could result in attacks on the network that could allow bad actors to take control of UAVs or even manipulate payload information. In our previous work, we experimentally demonstrated the vulnerability of state-ofthe-art security standards to routing attacks, including the security technologies in the IEEE 802.11i and IEEE 802.11s mesh standards
Robust Malware Detection Powered by Intelligent DeepLearningSystems
Authors: Mahesh Reddy Mr.Saddi , Mr.Praveen
Published: December 2024

The rapid spread of malware attacks is a serious problem for computer users, enterprises, and governments in the modern digital age. Existing malware detection tools use both static and dynamic analysis of malware signatures and behaviors; an inefficient and time-consuming strategy to detect new forms of malware. Modern malware uses polymorphic and metamorphic techniques, among others, to quickly transform into new forms and create different variants. Nowadays, machine learning algorithms (MLAs) are used to effectively analyze malware, since most new threats are just versions of known threats. A lot of work needs to be invested in the areas of feature engineering, feature learning, and feature representation. Feature engineering is not necessary when using state-of-the-art MLAs such as deep learning. Although there is some recent research in this area, the training data can have a significant impact on the performance of the algorithm.
Optimizing knowledge distillation for efficient breast ultrasound image segmentation: Insights and performance enhancement
Authors: Behboodi Bahareh , Brooks Rupert , Rivaz Hassan
Published: December 2024

Most modern models designed for ultrasound (US) image segmentation are characterized by high computational and memory requirements, limiting their practical utility in point-of-care US settings. Consequently, researchers have devised innovative approaches to compress these large models, enabling the training of smaller networks capable of achieving comparable generalization performance. Among these strategies, knowledge distillation (KD) has emerged as particularly suitable for scenarios involving small datasets or where significant efficiency improvements are desired. While previous KD-based methods have focused on extracting comprehensive information from diverse levels of teacher representation, they often overlook the identification of the most effective representation level. Additionally, many existing techniques propose intricate strategies that present implementation challenges. To address this gap, our study concentrates on selecting optimal teacher representations from various levels. Through an exhaustive analysis of KD pathways, loss functions, and the impact of augmentation, we offer valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying knowledge transfer from the teacher to the student networks. Our proposed methodology significantly enhances student performance, elevating the Dice similarity score from 73% to 80%, while the teacher model achieves 81%. Notably, our student model achieves this improvement with only 0.82 million parameters, compared to the teacher model’s 96 million parameters.

In addition, five lecturers and five practicing artists were purposively selected for in-depth interviews, based on their experience in digital art and their background in traditional art. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that digital art has not yet been fully integrated into the art and design curriculum. The study also highlights the critical role of early art and design education in fostering student interest in digital art illustration. Furthermore, digital art illustration can be viewed as an extension of traditional art; therefore, artists should find ways to embrace both forms to their advantage. This integration can be promoted through blended exhibitions, with support from established galleries. For the design field, the study emphasizes the impact of AI and suggests how various stakeholders can incorporate it into their practices to enhance success. The study concludes that investment in technological infrastructure by the government can help promote digital art illustration as a burgeoning sector, creating new job opportunities for the younger, technology-savvy generation.
From concept to creation: The role of generative artificial intelligence in the new age of digital marketing
Authors: Smith Andrew , Hutson James
Published: December 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been extensively used in digital marketing. Still, the recent advances in generative AI (GAI) have revolutionized social media marketing and content creation, lowering barriers that once restricted high-quality design to professionals well versed in expensive and complex software like Adobe Suite. GAI tools enable anyone, from students to marketers, to generate logos, branding, and multimedia content without extensive training. This shift has empowered more people to engage in creative expression, expanding the pool of ideas and creativity. However, the abundance of AI-generated content raises questions about the evolving definition of “art” and the emergence of a new category of AI artists and designers who blend technical skills with AI-driven creativity. The future of marketing will likely see even greater automation, where these generative tools learn brand esthetics, predict trends, and create content tailored to specific audiences – eventually automating everything from ad creation to distribution across platforms. Methods are reviewed by which these tools influence each marketing stage, from audience segmentation to content distribution, and assess their impact on key performance indicators such as engagement, conversion rates, and return on investment. More significantly, the article explores and demonstrates how GAI reshapes content creation, how audiences adapt to AI-generated work, and the implications for the future of marketing and design as the technology becomes an increasingly seamless collaborator.

Coronary restenosis is a pressing challenge in cardiovascular diseases with an annual incidence of 3 – 4%. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of known risk factors in predicting coronary restenosis in a systematic analysis and an original retrospective survey. In the first stage, we performed a systematic review of restenosis risk factors using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. In the second stage, we searched for the restenosis risk factors in 15,000 patients who had undergone coronary angiography, considering risk factors identified during the first stage. From the second stage, we identified 516 patients with restenosis versus 282 patients without restenosis. Coronary risk factors included male sex (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.194; confidence interval [CI]: 1.5 – 3.22) and history of myocardial infarction (HR = 1.098; CI: 1.05 – 1.15). Moderate-diameter stenosis (2.75 – 3.5 mm) exhibited a protective effect on restenosis (HR = 0.713; CI: 0.58 – 0.87), whereas small-diameter stenosis did not. Drug-eluting stents reduced the risk of restenosis (HR = 0.554; CI: 0.41 – 0.75). The risk factors for coronary restenosis included male sex, history of myocardial infarction, small-diameter stent, and the use of bare-metal stents.

Forced migrations driven by conflicts, natural disasters, and persecution severely disrupt cultural identity and exacerbate health vulnerabilities in displaced populations. This narrative review focuses on both physical and mental health outcomes in exploring the intricate relationships between forced migrations, cultural dislocation, and health risks. The study identifies four key themes. First, the aspect of forced migrations and cultural identity highlights the fragmentation of cultural practices and reveals the challenges of identity reconstruction. Second, the facet of forced migration and health vulnerabilities underscores the increased risks of infectious diseases, malnutrition, and mental health disorders such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Third, the interplays of cultural identity and health reveal that the preservation of cultural practices can buffer against negative health influences while cultural losses exacerbate the deterioration of health. Finally, culturally sensitive policies and interventions require healthcare systems to adopt culturally competent approaches that can address the unique challenges confronting forced migrants. The review concludes by identifying gaps in the literature, including the need for additional research on long-term health outcomes and the effectiveness of culturally sensitive interventions. This study delivers valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare providers seeking to improve the well-being of displaced populations through culturally responsive care.
Analyzing the relationship between the 18th-century Beijing hutong system and urban landmark roads using spatial network analysis: A case study of Dongcheng district
Authors: Lu Ning , Lee Sang-Hyun
Published: December 2024

The hutong system, originating during the Yuan dynasty (1271 – 1368), has undergone significant transformations while retaining its essential role in urban functionality and social interactions. Despite extensive qualitative studies on its historical and contemporary dynamics, quantitative analyses of its original configurations and integration with Beijing’s broader road network remain limited. This study examines the Qianlong Jingcheng Quantu (Emperor Qianlong’s Complete Map of Beijing), a detailed cartographic representation of Beijing drafted in the 15th year (1750) of Qianlong’s reign (1735 – 1796), which provides critical insights into historical urban planning. Using spatial network analysis, the research measures regional accessibility and demonstrates how the hutong system, through a series of orderly spatial connections, integrates with landmark roads to form a complex yet highly accessible urban spatial network. The analysis reveals that the high mobility efficiency within the intricate hutong system is rooted in its structured spatial connections with landmark roads. These connections facilitate dynamic interactions between the hutong system and the extensive urban road network, thereby enhancing the overall functionality and flexibility of Beijing’s urban development.

Background and Aim: Mitochondria play an important role in signaling and metabolic pathways in skeletal muscle. In this study, the effects of MitoQ supplementation alone and in combination with endurance training (ET) or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) were investigated in relation to the process of mitochondrial quality control in the gastrocnemius muscle of male rats.Methods: Animals were assigned into 6 groups (n = 7): Control, MitoQ, ET, ET + MitoQ, HIIT, and HIIT + MitoQ. The gene and protein expression were quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction (2-ΔΔCT) and Western blot analysis, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance.Results: ET significantly increased protein expression of dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) and mitofusin1 (MFN1) and gene expression of optic atrophy Type 1 (Opa1) in skeletal muscle, when compared to the control group (p < 0.001). HIIT only increased MFN1 protein expression compared to the control group (p < 0.0001). MitoQ in combination with HIIT significantly increased protein expression of DRP1 and MFN1 compared to MitoQ alone (p < 0.01).Conclusion: In sum, exercise training can affect mitochondrial dynamics by changing the factors involved in the fission and fusion process, and ET can improve training capacity in skeletal muscle by modulating expression of OPA1 and MFN1. While MitoQ supplementation alone did not significantly alter the mitochondrial fission-fusion process, its combination with HIIT appeared to elevate the expression of DRP1, suggesting a potential synergistic effect that warrants further investigation. Future studies should delve into the mechanisms by which MitoQ and exerciseinduced stress affect mitochondrial quality control, particularly in the context of redox modulation and signaling pathways that govern mitochondrial plasticity.Relevance for Patients: Combining MitoQ with exercise training may enhance mitochondrial function, potentially improving muscle health in patients.
Mpox virus epidemic in Africa: Is Southeast Asia at risk and what preventive measures should the region take? The example of Vietnam
Authors: Taylor-Robinson Andrew W.
Published: December 2024

The ongoing epidemic outbreak of mpox virus infection in Africa raises worldwide health concerns due to its potential for rapid international spread. The immediate risk of mpox to Southeast Asian nations, which are geographically distant from the region, is currently low. However, the global experience of COVID-19 has demonstrated that proactive measures are essential to prepare for any potential cases that may arise from travel or trade. A vaccine and antivirals against the mpox virus do exist, yet supply of both is very limited and their access is inequitable. In all but high-income countries, confirmatory molecular diagnostic testing is also not performed routinely by most microbiology diagnostic services, especially those in the mainstream public sector. Therefore, detection, infection control, and prevention rely heavily on community surveillance of suspected cases based on clinical presentation. The potential threat posed to Vietnam, a lower-middle income country in Southeast Asia, illustrates the current inadequacy of epidemiological surveillance and pathogen control. The World Health Organization declaration of mpox as a “public health emergency of international concern” is a global wake-up call to action. The escalation of a virulent and contagious infectious disease in another continent should be very closely monitored by each nation’s public health authorities. Moreover, capacity to rapidly instigate preventive measures relating to transmission routes, exposure settings, and vulnerable populations should be improved.

BPJS Kesehatan plays a vital role in providing health insurance to millions of Indonesians, making it essential to assess the quality of service on their website to ensure efficient and accessible healthcare delivery. This study evaluates of service quality on user satisfaction with the BPJS Kesehatan website by analyzing 10 hypotheses related to information quality, system usability, and service effectiveness. The research employed a quantitative approach, utilizing a structured questionnaire and regression analysis with data from 32 respondents. Significant findings include a strong positive effect of service quality on system use (β = 0.928, p = 0.002) and a notable impact of system use on net benefits (β = 0.337, p = 0.014). The model's high R² value of 0.796 indicates that nearly 80% of the variance in net benefits is explained by the predictors, demonstrating that improved service quality and increased system use substantially enhance user satisfaction and perceived benefits. These results underscore the importance of focusing on service quality and user engagement to optimize outcomes from the BPJS Kesehatan website.
