MODELING THE IMPACT OF LASER IRRADIATION ON TEMPERATURE CHANGES IN BIOLOGICAL TISSUES
Authors: Pashchenko Hlib , Tereshchenko Mykola
Published: July 2024

Modeling the impact of laser irradiation (MILI) on biological tissues plays a crucial role in research and the development of laser technologies in biology and medicine. MILI opens a wide spectrum of knowledge for scientists and medical professionals, providing insights into how laser radiation interacts with different types of tissues and organs and determining optimal parameters to achieve the desired outcome. Models can account for various physical processes occurring during irradiation, such as energy absorption, heat propagation, changes in tissue structure, and functions. This enables the prediction of tissue responses to different laser exposure regimes, including intensity, wavelength, and exposure time. In medicine, modeling is used to determine optimal laser exposure parameters for specific diseases or procedures. For example, MILI helps identify the optimal radiation dose during laser therapy or surgical interventions. Additionally, modeling allows for the assessment of potential risks associated with laser radiation, such as tissue overheating or side effects. This, in turn, enhances the development of safer and more effective laser application methods. Moreover, optimizing laser irradiation parameters is relevant for minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. MILI can be used to develop new laser technologies and devices aimed at improving the outcomes of laser applications in medicine. It also facilitates the faster and more efficient implementation of new methods and technologies into clinical practice. Thus, modeling the impact of laser irradiation on temperature changes in biological tissues plays a vital role in enhancing understanding of processes in biological tissues and contributes to the development of new methods and technologies, as well as the optimization of laser application for achieving effective treatment outcomes and patient safety.
EFFICIENCY ASSESSMENT OF SOME DANUBE PORTS BY USING DEA WINDOW ANALYSIS
Authors: MATEI Gheorghe
Published: July 2024

The aim of this paper is to empirically assess the efficiency / inefficiency of five Danube ports in five neighbouring countries and to observe how it evolves over an eight-year period ranging from 2014 to 2021. The five ports are located on the lower course of the Danube River and are the most important in their states: Smederevo (Serbia), Ruse (Bulgaria), Galați (Romania), Giurgiulești (Moldova), and Izmail (Ukraine). The study uses a mixed-method, namely the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) window analysis method and Andersen and Petersenʼs super-efficiency model to evaluate the efficiency of these ports over time. Port efficiency analysis is based on a single output, i.e. the cargo throughput, and four inputs: the total port area, the total area of warehouses, the quay length, and the number of cranes. It was determined that none of the five ports analysed reaches the maximum efficiency of 1.000, their average efficiency being quite low, only 0.631. The highest average efficiency is recorded by the Serbian port of Smederevo, with 0.768, this port being found to make good use of its resources for production. On the other extreme, the Bulgarian port of Ruse was found to be the least efficient port, obtaining the lowest average efficiency over an eight-year period, with only 0.360. The study tries to capture the causes of the inefficiency of selected ports and propose some measures to improve their efficiency.

Published: July 2024

Optimization of business processes and policies in a car rental company is an ongoing topic. Especially that each of these companies operates in slightly different local conditions and external environments. Testing new optimization algorithms is best done with simulation methods. A comprehensive rental simulation model can be built, for example, using the SimEvents library of the Matlab/Simulink environment. The paper focuses on the problem of preparing a sequence of customer requests in the short-term car rental system, necessary to carry out simulations in the SimeEvents environment. It was assumed that these data may come from the real world, or they may also be artificial data. A method of generating artificial sequences of customer requests and the structure of input data necessary to carry out this process have been proposed. The use of machine learning to build models that transform real data in such a way that it can be randomized was also tested.

Authors: Salomovich Tulakov Elmurad , Shavkatovna Mamatkulova Zebinisso
Published: June 2024

This study addresses the critical issue of differential settlement and long-term fracture prevention in building foundations. Mistakes in designing strip and column foundations on natural soil often lead to cracks due to uneven settlements, as traditional methods prioritize matching foundation base pressure to soil bearing resistance, often neglecting settlement calculations. This research highlights the importance of incorporating settlement analysis into foundation design. A comparative review of existing methods and field data reveals significant disparities between standard design approaches and those considering settlement. Findings show that foundations designed with consistent settlement criteria exhibit better structural strength and reduced crack formation. The study underscores the need for a fundamental shift in foundation design procedures to include settlement analysis, ensuring the long-term durability and safety of buildings.
Highlights:

Traditional foundation design often neglects settlement calculations, leading to structural issues.
Incorporating settlement analysis results in stronger, more durable foundations.
Comparative review highlights the need for updated design procedures to prevent cracks.

Intermittent Fasting in Youth: A Scoping Review
Authors: Bakhsh Jomanah A. , Vidmar Alaina P. , Salvy Sarah-Jeanne
Published: July 2024

Intermittent fasting (IF) focuses on the timing of eating rather than diet quality or energy intake, with evidence supporting its effects on weight loss and cardiometabolic outcomes in adults. However, there is limited evidence for its efficacy in adolescents and emerging adults. To address this, a scoping review examined IF regimens in individuals aged 10 to 25, focusing on methodology, intervention parameters, outcomes, adherence, feasibility, and efficacy. The review included 39 studies with 731 participants aged 15 to 25. Methodologies varied, with 18 studies on time-restricted eating and others requiring caloric restriction. Primary outcomes included cardiometabolic risk factors (11/29), body composition (9/29), anthropometric measurements (8/29), and feasibility (2/29). Most studies reported significant weight loss. This review underscores IF's potential in treating obesity in this age group but highlights the need for rigorous studies with standardized frameworks for feasibility to ensure comparability and determine IF’s practicality in this age group.

Authors: Lee Woojien , Kim Jaehyeon , Earmme Taeshik , Chang Kunok
Published: June 2024

Rechargeable lithium-based batteries play a crucial role in the shift towards renewable energy, providing eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels and improving sustainability. However, their liquid electrolytes present significant safety risks, especially in electric vehicles. To address this, the process of gelation through cross-linking has emerged as a promising solution, effectively reducing the risk of combustion. Traditional gelation methods are time-consuming and costly, often taking up to an hour. In contrast, electron beam irradiation provides a highly efficient alternative, reducing the process to just seconds. This lowers production costs and meets the demands of high-volume manufacturing. In this study, the multiphysical phenomena in the coin cell were simulated using , which combines radiation transport modeling, phase change simulation of the gelation process, and thermal analysis. Through this, the peak temperature of the electrolyte in the coin cell was predicted and the time required for the temperature of the electrolyte to return to the ambient temperature was predicted.
RMLP-ViT: Recognizing Handwritten Chinese Examination Texts with ViT
Authors: Zhong Kaihe , Zhu Yuanping
Published: July 2024

It happens in the examination paper that text lines include inconsistent nonuniform word size, character erasure, diverse text length and dense long texts. This paper proposes an improved method for ViT to enhance its capability in recognizing text lines in handwritten Chinese examination papers. First, this method employs a segmentation method suitable for text line recognition and proposes a repeated multiscale linear projection (RMLP) method to enrich the spatial information of the image vectors, which improves the model's integration capability for patch vectors of multiple scales. Second, ViT is combined with CTC to achieve prediction for each patch, thus improving the robustness of ViT in Chinese handwritten text recognition. Experiments show that RMLP-ViT promises the recognition of examination paper text lines and achieves good performance on the SCUT-EPT dataset.

Progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) present significant therapeutic challenges, underscoring the pressing need for effective treatments in this domain. While relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) transitions to secondary progressive MS (SPMS) for many patients, others experience primary progressive MS (PPMS) from the diseases onset. Despite similarities in pathophysiology and clinical progression between SPMS and PPMS, treatment options remain limited. The recent approval of ocrelizumab for PPMS marks a notable advancement, though its efficacy is modest. This retrospective study, conducted at the Neurology Department of Mohammed VI University Hospital, evaluates the tolerance and therapeutic efficacy of various treatments in progressive MS. Nineteen patient records spanning six years were analyzed, with therapeutic interventions including Fingolimod, Rituximab, cyclophosphamide-solumedrol, and ocrelizumab. Assessments utilizing the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) revealed stabilization or improvement in 15.7% of secondary progressive MS and 21% of primary progressive MS patients after 12 months of treatment. The duration of the progressive phase emerged as a key predictor of therapeutic response. Despite the approval of ocrelizumab in Morocco for PPMS, its utilization remains limited, suggesting the need for targeted studies focusing on early-stage clinical progression. Overall, this study underscores the unmet need for effective treatments in progressive MS and highlights ongoing research efforts aimed at addressing this challenge.

The Notary Code of Ethics sets the standards of behavior that Notaries must adhere to in order to act ethically and in accordance with the law. One of the sanctions for violations of the Notary Code of Ethics is dismissal with dishonor. This study aims to analyze the implementation of ethical code sanctions against Notaries who have committed criminal acts within the scope of their duties based on a final and binding court decision, which must go through a complaint process, and to analyze the ethical code sanctions in the form of dismissal with dishonor that can be imposed on Notaries who have committed criminal acts based on a final and binding court decision. Using a normative juridical approach, this research is prescriptive in nature. Data collection was conducted through literature study, presented in a systematically arranged narrative text, and analyzed qualitatively normatively. Based on the results of the research and discussion, it can be concluded that the implementation of ethical code sanctions against Notaries who have committed criminal acts within the scope of their duties based on a final and binding court decision must go through a complaint process. In the process of applying ethical code sanctions to a Notary proven to have committed a criminal act while performing their duties, the Honorary Council can seek facts regarding the alleged ethical code violation committed by the Notary either after receiving a written complaint from members of the organization or the public who have been harmed by the Notary, accompanied by convincing facts and evidence of the alleged ethical code violation by a member of the association. This process indicates that efforts to enforce the ethical code against Notaries who commit criminal acts within the scope of their duties still depend on complaints from aggrieved parties. Ethical code sanctions in the form of dismissal with dishonor can be imposed on Notaries who have committed criminal acts based on a final and binding court decision. The decision to impose such ethical code sanctions is an appropriate and suitable step as a consequence for Notaries regarding the code of ethics and Notary Law (Undang-UndangJabatanNotaris, hereafter UUJN). The Notary Code of Ethics establishes standards of behavior that Notaries must adhere to, including acting ethically and by the law, as well as preventing similar violations. This indicates that the Notary profession and public interest take precedence over individual interests and is also an important step in maintaining the reputation of the Notary profession.

Published: June 2024

One of the main characteristics of modern society is technological progress in everyday life, but on the other hand, challenges in modern society include the spread of fake news, disinformation, and leaks of personal data. The study's goal is to investigate the influence of social commerce information sharing (SCIS) on consumer trust and the risk of privacy perceived by consumers, as well as the effect of consumer trust on the risk of privacy perceived by Tokopedia users, as mediated through trust. A questionnaire was issued to 100 Tokopedia customers to collect data. SEM-PLS (Structural Model) with WarpPLS software version 8.0 is used for data analysis. SCIS has an effect on trust and consumer-perceived privacy risk, while trust has no effect on consumer-perceived privacy risk, according to the findings. SCIS has a higher impact on consumer trust than on their perceived privacy risks. This demonstrates the need for Tokopedia to build consumer trust.

Este artigo discute, a partir da revisão de literatura e das normas produzidas pelospaíses da América do Sul, como, apesar do discurso relativo à posição enquantodestino acolhedor de imigrantes, a região é caracterizada pela xenofobia institucional,dificuldade dos migrantes em acessarem direitos, profusão de instrumentos “adhoc” para determinadas mobilidades e dificuldade em construir respostas regionaisintegradas. Este processo evidencia a politização da chegada de certas nacionalidades.Em termos metodológicos, o artigo recorre a um processo reflexivo baseado emanálise bibliográfica e documental que se centra essencialmente na situaçãocontemporânea (pós-1990), procedido por uma breve contextualização histórica.
