Authors: Pradika Ferian Yavis , Samodra FX Teddy Badai , Cahyadini Sarah
Published: June 2024

Virtual materiality has become a reality due to technological advancements. This affects the evolution of architecture. Land utilization in residential designs is currently unrestricted. Humans still exploit natural land and food supplies to build homes. Conversely, houses that merely use the land for viewing rather than traversing it are an example of inefficient land usage. In architecture, virtual materiality plays a part in creating an artificial world. In order to minimize land consumption, an architectural strategy that may introduce virtual materiality into the real world is required. Illusion is one tactic. Tricks and deceit are given priority in the illusion technique. This program is intended for home users who want to replace their natural surroundings with an artificial one. By using this method, nature can improve without requiring interference from the original environment. Modeling experiments and qualitative research are used in the research methodology. Create suggested concepts by using an architectural methodology. Rendering models and sketches are the research outputs. The findings demonstrate that home design can make use of illusion as a representation of virtual materiality. Through the application of matter illusion techniques, manufactured environments can be made to resemble natural ones. Implementing the material illusion in a trapezoidal home. Screen technology is used to do this. The center of the design is where screen technology is used to display environmental content. big horizontal and vertical sides are necessary. However, this can be a substitute for the natural environment for residents, especially in dwelling design.

Work stress appears as an interesting topic in the era of society 5.0, this condition can even arise among university workers. The emergence of work stress among workers in higher education can be caused by involvement in work. This lack of involvement triggers low performance and low welfare. The aim of this research is to obtain a representation of the work stress of university employees in Yogyakarta and the factors that influence it. The research sample was 329 workers at Yogyakarta City Universities who were selected using proportional random sampling techniques. Limitations for determining the research sample using the Krejcie Table for sample size. The data collection technique uses the Job Stress Scale adopted from Vic Catano's Stressors and Stress Outcomes, consisting of 8 aspects, namely competence, workload, work schedule, role conflict, role ambiguity, routine, rewards, life balance, and policy making. The data analysis technique used in this research is descriptive. The research results showed that 72% of workers said they were not experiencing work stress in terms of workload, routine, rewards and life balance. Meanwhile, health factors show a high percentage compared to the environment, meaning that health describes the work stress experienced by workers. University guidance and counseling service units can at least play a role in providing the training, counseling and therapy programs needed to overcome work stress.

Published: June 2024

Mass media as an important element of mass communication influence the formation of public opinion, the perception of security challenges in society. In an effort to fulfil its statutory role of informing the people, the radio media reports security issues so as to arm residents with the needed information. To this end, this study investigated the public perception of radio reports on security issues in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Agenda-setting and perception theories served as the theoretical foundation of the study. A mixed-methods research design was employed. From the population of 2,277,961, a sample size of 384 was drawn for the study using the Wimmer and Dominick online sample size calculator. Meanwhile, a qualitative population was drawn from security operatives within the state as well as staff from the two private radio stations and two public radio stations. Questionnaire and interview guide were used as the instruments for data collection. Multistage and purposive sampling techniques were used in the study. Findings revealed that, on average, 62% of Bayelsa residents are exposed to radio reports on security issues within the state to a large extent. The qualitative data revealed similar findings. Further findings revealed that, at an average mean score of 3.1 (N = 377), respondents have positive perceptions. They are of the view that radio reports on security issues are objective. Also, the qualitative findings are in tandem with the quantitative findings.
Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance and New-Onset Type 2 Diabetes in a Middle-Aged and Older Adult Population: Nationwide Prospective Cohort Study and Implications for Primary Care (Preprint)
Authors: Cheng Hui , Jia Zhihui , Li Yu Ting , Yu Xiao , Wang Jia Ji , Xie Yao Jie , Hernandez Jose , Wang Harry H X
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

The metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) has emerged as a noninsulin-based index for the approximation of insulin resistance (IR), yet longitudinal evidence supporting the utility of METS-IR in the primary prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains limited.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to investigate the longitudinal association between METS-IR, which combines fasting plasma glucose (FPG), lipid profiles, and anthropometrics that can be routinely obtained in resource-limited primary care settings, and the incidence of new-onset T2DM.

METHODS

We conducted a closed-cohort analysis of a nationwide, prospective cohort of 7583 Chinese middle-aged and older adults who were free of T2DM at baseline, sampled from 28 out of 31 provinces in China. We examined the characteristics of participants stratified by elevated blood pressure (BP) at baseline and new-onset T2DM at follow-up. We performed Cox proportional hazard regression analysis to explore associations of baseline METS-IR with incident T2DM in participants overall and in participants stratified by baseline BP. We also applied net reclassification improvement and integrated discrimination improvement to examine the incremental value of METS-IR.

RESULTS

During a mean follow-up period of 6.3 years, T2DM occurred in 527 participants, among which two-thirds (332/527, 62.9%; 95% CI 58.7%-67.1%) had baseline FPG<110 mg/dL. A SD unit increase in baseline METS-IR was associated with the first incidence of T2DM (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.33, 95% CI 1.22-1.45; P<.001) in all participants. We obtained similar results in participants with normal baseline BP (aHR 1.41, 95% CI 1.22-1.62; P<.001) and elevated baseline BP (aHR 1.29, 95% CI 1.16-1.44; P<.001). The predictive capability for incident T2DM was improved by adding METS-IR to FPG. In study participants with new-onset T2DM whose baseline FPG was <126 mg/dL and <110 mg/dL, 62.9% (332/527; 95% CI 60%-65.9%) and 58.1% (193/332; 95% CI 54.3%-61.9%) of participants had baseline METS-IR above the cutoff values, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

METS-IR was significantly associated with new-onset T2DM, regardless of baseline BP level. Regular monitoring of METS-IR on top of routine blood glucose in clinical practice may add to the ability to enhance the early identification of primary care populations at risk for T2DM.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

The transition from pediatric to adult care poses a significant health system–level challenge impeding the delivery of quality health services for youth with chronic health conditions. In Canada and globally, the transition to adult care is regarded as a top priority in adolescent health in need of readily applicable, adaptable, and relevant national metrics to evaluate and benchmark transition success across disease populations and clinical care settings. Unfortunately, existing literature fails to account for the lack of engagement from youth and caregivers in developing indicators, and its applicability across chronic conditions, primary care involvement, and health equity considerations.

OBJECTIVE

Our proposed study aims to establish a consensus-driven set of quality indicators for the transition to adult care that are universally applicable across physical, developmental, and mental health conditions, clinical care settings, and health jurisdictions.

METHODS

Using an integrated knowledge translation (iKT) approach, a panel comprising youth, caregivers, interdisciplinary health care providers, and health system leaders will be established to collaborate with our research team to ensure that the study methodology, materials, and knowledge dissemination are suitable and reflect the perspectives of youth and their families. We will then conduct an iterative 3-round Online Modified Delphi (OMD) study (n=160) to (1) compare and contrast the perspectives of youth, caregivers, health care providers, and health system leaders on quality indicators for transition; and (2) prioritize a key set of quality indicators for transition applicable across disease populations that are the most important, useful, and feasible in the Canadian context. Using the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method (RAM) multistage analytic approach, data from each panel and stakeholder group will be examined separately and compared to establish a key set of indicators endorsed by both panels.

RESULTS

The study is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Physicians Services Incorporated.

CONCLUSIONS

This study will produce quality indicators to evaluate and inform action equitably to improve transition from pediatric to adult care for youth and their families in Canada.

Authors: Tang Xiaoli , Yang Xiaochen , Yuan Jiajun , Yang Jie , Jin Qian , Zhang Hanting , Zhao Liebin , Guo Weiwei
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Previous studies have shown that electrocardiographic (ECG) alarms have high sensitivity and low specificity, have underreported adverse events, and may cause neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) staff fatigue or alarm ignoring. Moreover, prolonged noise stimuli in hospitalized neonates can disrupt neonatal development.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study is to conduct a nationwide, multicenter, large-sample cross-sectional survey to identify current practices and investigate the decision-making requirements of health care providers regarding ECG alarms.

METHODS

We conducted a nationwide, cross-sectional survey of NICU staff working in grade III level A hospitals in 27 Chinese provinces to investigate current clinical practices, perceptions, decision-making processes, and decision-support requirements for clinical ECG alarms. A comparative analysis was conducted on the results using the chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, or Mann-Whitney U tests.

RESULTS

In total, 1019 respondents participated in this study. NICU staff reported experiencing a significant number of nuisance alarms and negative perceptions as well as practices regarding ECG alarms. Compared to nurses, physicians had more negative perceptions. Individuals with higher education levels and job titles had more negative perceptions of alarm systems than those with lower education levels and job titles. The mean difficulty score for decision-making about ECG alarms was 2.96 (SD 0.27) of 5. A total of 62.32% (n=635) respondents reported difficulty in resetting or modifying alarm parameters. Intelligent module–assisted decision support systems were perceived as the most popular form of decision support.

CONCLUSIONS

This study highlights the negative perceptions and strong decision-making requirements of NICU staff related to ECG alarm handling. Health care policy makers must draw attention to the decision-making requirements and provide adequate decision support in different forms.

Immunotherapy has become a game changer in cancer treatment. Few studies have investigated the perceptions about its use by analyzing social media data. This study aimed to use a topic modeling technique, BERTopic, to explore the perceptions of the online cancer communities regarding immunotherapy. A total of 4.9 million posts were extracted and preprocessed. BERTopic modeling was performed to identify topics from the posts, which were then broadly grouped into distinct themes. 3.6 million posts were remained for modeling after data cleaning. The highest overall topic quality achieved by BERTopic was 70.47% (topic diversity: 87.76%; topic coherence: 80.21%). BERTopic generated 14 topics related to the perceptions of immunotherapy, which were categorized into six themes. The themes primarily covered (1) hopeful prospects offered by immunotherapy, (2) perceived effectiveness of immunotherapy, (3) complementary therapies or self-treatments, (4) financial and mental impact of undergoing immunotherapy, (5) impact on lifestyle and time schedules, and (6) side effects due to treatment. This study provided an overview of the multifaceted considerations essential for the application of immunotherapy as a therapeutic intervention. Furthermore, it demonstrated the effectiveness of BERTopic in analyzing large amounts of data to identify perceptions underlying social media and online communities.

Deconstructing the Quest for Identity and Meaning in Margaret Atwood’s Surfacing
Authors: Suri Dr. Girija
Published: June 2024

Margaret Atwood’s novel, Surfacing (1972) addresses the Woman’s Question through the point of view of young woman who travels with her boyfriend and two married friends and sets on a journey into her troubled past. The paper analyzes the different ways in which the novel portrays the growing distance of the protagonist’s self-identity from her sense of language, history, and culture. It delves into the role of language, reason, and logic in imbuing as well as taking away the protagonist’s self-belief. It also probes Atwood’s portrayal of nature, especially wilderness, as an essential aspect of one’s psychological development and realization of desires. The paper argues that the novel is a quest for female identity and meaning in which language and nature play extremely significant roles.

On graded 1 -absorbing δ -primary ideals
Authors: Abu-Dawwas Rashid , Assarrar Anass , Habeb Jebrel M. , Mahdou Najib
Published: May 2024

Let G be an abelian group with identity 0 and let R be a commutative graded ring of type G with nonzero unity. Let I(R) be the set of all ideals of R and let δ: I(R)⟶I(R) be a function. Then, according to (R. Abu-Dawwas, M. Refai, Graded δ-Primary Structures, Bol. Soc. Paran. Mat., 40 (2022), 1-11), δ is called a graded ideal expansion of a graded ring R if it assigns to every graded ideal I of R another graded ideal δ(I) of R with I ⊆ δ(I), and if whenever I and J are graded ideals of R with J ⊆ I, we have δ (J) ⊆ δ(I). Let δ be a graded ideal expansion of a graded ring R. In this paper, we introduce and investigate a new class of graded ideals that is closely related to the class of graded δ-primary ideals. A proper graded ideal I of R is said to be a graded 1-absorbing δ-primary ideal if whenever nonunit homogeneous elements a,b,c ∊ R with abc ∊ I, then ab ∊ I or c ∊ δ(I). After giving some basic properties of this new class of graded ideals, we generalize a number of results about 1-absorbing δ-primary ideals into these new graded structure. Finally, we study the graded 1-absorbing δ-primary ideals of the localization of graded rings and of the trivial graded ring extensions.
Pneumonia Detection using Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Srivastav Raj
Published: May 2024

Abstract: The deadly illness known as pneumonia develops in the lungs and is brought on by a bacterial or viral infection. Pneumonia can be difficult and prone to error to diagnose in chest X-ray pictures due to its similarities to other lung infections. The purpose of this project is to create a computer-aided pneumonia detection system to speed up the process of making a diagnosis. As a result, an ensemble convolutional neural network (CNN) technique was presented for the automated diagnosis of pediatric pneumonia. In this case, the chest X-ray dataset was used to train seven well-known CNN models (VGG-16, VGG-19, ResNet-50, Inception-V3, Xception, MobileNet, and SqueezeNet) with the proper transfer learning and fine-tuning techniques after they had been pre-trained on the ImageNet dataset. The three best-performing models out of the seven were chosen for the ensemble approach. During the test, the ensemble method was used to combine the predictions made by CNN models to get the final findings. Furthermore, a CNN model was trained from the beginning, and its outcomes were contrasted with those of the suggested ensemble approach.

Published: June 2024

Abstract: The implementation of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm for the detection of anomalies like fire and potholes in images or videos. Leveraging deep learning technique, the model aims to accurately identify fire, potholes, etc. within various contexts. The CNN architecture is trained on a dataset comprising diverse images to enhance its ability to generalize. This proposed project not only addresses safety concerns by promoting helmet usage and proper maintenance of roads but also contributes to the broader field of computer vision and object detection. This implementation involves training the CNN on annotated datasets, fine-tuning the model for optimal performance, and integrating it into a practical application for efficient anomaly identification. With a focus on real-time detection, the system utilizes image processing techniques and a trained CNN model to analyze visual data from cameras or video feeds. The system's versatility allows integration into surveillance systems, industrial sites, or any environment where fire detection is crucial for safety. By automating the detection process, the project contributes to minimizing human error and ensuring consistent monitoring. The proposed solution holds the potential to significantly impact safety protocols, particularly in industries where protective headgear is paramount. Potholes pose a significant threat to both drivers and pedestrians, leading to accidents and infrastructure damage. The proposed solution leverages CNN's ability to effectively process visual data, making it well-suited for image recognition tasks. Our approach involves training the CNN on a diverse dataset of road images to enable it to accurately identify potholes. The model will learn distinctive features and patterns associated with potholes, allowing for robust detection under various environmental conditions. Real-time implementation on embedded systems or cameras along roadways will enable instantaneous identification and alerting.

Published: June 2024

This article attends to the absences and silences of sexual identity and knowledge in science communication scholarship. It locates identitarian debates within this scholarship and utilises queer theory to encourage a shift towards a post-identitarian approach to conceptualising sex (as a social act) in science communication. In this way, this article advocates for a queer science communication that critically examines normative identities, practices, institutions, and policies, and makes room for subjugated knowledges within science communication theory and practice.

Introduction. Human breast milk is considered the gold standard of nutrition, giventhat thanks to the diversity in the metabolome it manages to meet the individual needs ofeach infant by providing essential metabolites that contribute to and intervene in optimalgrowth and development. Few factors can modify the composition of breast milk and,simultaneously, its benefits. However, the increase in maternal metabolic diseases such asgestational diabetes mellitus raises the question of whether it can be one of the factors thatcondition the quality and quantity of metabolites contained in breast milk. Objective. Toidentify the metabolome of breast milk from healthy mothers, its influence on the growth
and development of the infant, and to recognize those that are altered because of gestatio-nal diabetes mellitus. Methodology. A systematic review was carried out using multiple
databases. For the bibliometric analysis, we used the results of Web of Science and Scopusand the Tree of Science and Bibliometrix software.

Authors: Van Pham Thi Thuy , Hien Luc Manh , Nguyen Quang Vinh
Published: June 2024

The study aims to apply the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method to evaluate the priority of factors that constitute employee engagement with hotels. The theoretical review introduced and modeled five factors and 21 indicators. A pairwise comparison survey was designed and sent to experts, including university scientists, leaders of state management agencies in charge of tourism, and leaders of hotels. The research results show that the job characteristics factor is ranked as the first, the second factor is the working environment, the third factor is salary and welfare, the fourth factor is direct management, and the last ranking factor is the employee’s personality. Twenty-one indicators belonging to five factors were ranked through Liou and Wang’s (1992) method; the results showed that they ranked in the first three positions and had the most influence on hotel employee engagement as rated by experts, including recognizing employee efforts ranked first; the second factor is working together to achieve a common goal, and meaningful and purposive are ranked as the third factor. Meanwhile, the three factors with the lowest rankings, skills requirement, are ranked 19, the 20th place belongs to full facility, and the last place belongs to the sociable, enthusiastic, and friendly.

An Organophosphorus Nerve agent, VX [(O-Ethyl
S-diisopropylaminomethyl) methylphosphonothiolate] compound interfere
with acetylcholine signaling by targeting the AChE enzyme. Studies
suggest that in nerve agents poisoning, non-cholinergic effects are also
responsible for damages in peripheral tissues including long term damage
in brain. Present study reports cholinergic and non-cholinergic effects
of VX poisoning and their reversal by combinational therapy using
conventional antidotes atropine sulphate and 2-PAM chloride along with
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) as an antioxidant. In present study, it was
attempted to prevent the toxic effects of nerve agent poisoning by using
combination therapy with NAC so as to prevent both cholinergic and
non-cholinergic damages. NAC was chosen as this molecule is available as
approved drug for medical conditions including oxidative damage and
mucolysis. Results of the study showed that NAC adjuvant treated groups
had better recovery not only in cholinesterase level, it maintained
intracellular and tissue GSH level, reduced in ROS generation and lipid
peroxidation. Cell cycle analysis and histopathological results showed
NAC could able to protect the damage. In conclusion it was found that
combination therapy of antioxidant; NAC along with standard
atropine-oxime treatment is helpful in reducing the cholinergic and
oxidative stress mediated toxicity induced by VX.
Image traceable privacy protection scheme based on blockchain and homomorphic encryption

Published: June 2024

Aiming to address issues such as low security, inefficient encryption
and decryption, weak robustness, image tampering, and the misuse of
existing image encryption algorithms in blockchain-based applications
for image sharing and transmission, this paper proposes a traceable
image privacy protection scheme based on blockchain and homomorphic
algorithm. Firstly, Paillier algorithm and image block technology were
used to preprocess and encrypt the image. Feature images are extracted
from encrypted images using lifting wavelet transform (LWT) and singular
value decomposition (SVD). By means of dynamic S-box, binary watermark
information is subjected to confusion, diffusion and XOR operations to
generate zero-watermarking images for lossless embedding of traceability
information. Then, the zero-watermarking image and its corresponding key
are securely stored on the International File System (IPFS) through a
smart contract mechanism to regulate image transactions and enable
traceability of the image. Finally, the smart contract is utilized to
detect any inaccuracies and errors in the zero-watermarking image,
enabling tamper detection of said image. In experimental tests, the
proposed scheme was shown to enable data distribution and computation
with private data in ciphertext state, exhibiting high efficiency in
encryption and decryption. Additionally, the zero-watermarking algorithm
exhibits strong anti-attack capabilities and robustness. By considering
image privacy protection and secure storage, tamper detection and
traceability of encrypted images are effectively addressed.
Prevalence and clinical correlates of anxiety symptoms in first-episode and drug-naïve major depressive disorder patients with dyslipidemia at different ages of onset: a large cross-sectional study
Authors: Wang Guanjun , Liu Yanting , Ji Yunxin , Wang Kuilai , Lang Xiaoe , Zhang Xiangyang
Published: June 2024

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) patients often have
different clinical manifestations at different age of onset. Anxiety
symptoms are frequently seen in patients with MDD, and dyslipidemia is
also prevalent in these populations. There is limited reporting on the
frequency of anxiety symptoms and their associations with clinical
factors in patients with abnormal lipid metabolism who have MDD.
Methods: Our study included 1718 first-episode untreated MDD
outpatients aged 18-60 years, 1408 of whom had dyslipidemia. We
collected basic information, clinically relevant data, and biochemical
indicators from these patients. Anxiety, depression and psychiatric
symptoms were evaluated by Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton
Depression Scale (HAMD) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)
positive subscale, respectively. Results: Anxiety symptoms were
found in 57.8% of depressed outpatients with dyslipidemia, a rate
significantly higher than in MDD patients with normal lipid levels. No
statistical difference was observed in the prevalence of anxiety
symptoms between the early adulthood onset (EAO) group and mid-adulthood
onset (MAO) group. Anxiety symptoms were significantly correlated with
both HAMD and PANSS scores, regardless of the age of onset.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), total cholesterol (TC) levels and
suicide attempts were independently associated with anxiety symptoms in
the EAO group, whereas fasting blood glucose (FBG) was independently
related to anxiety symptoms in the MAO group. Conclusions: Our
research findings indicated that the age of MDD onset in patients with
dyslipidemia did not impact the presence of anxiety symptom. The
clinical factors linked to anxiety symptoms varied between the EAO and
MAO groups, potentially aiding in the prediction of anxiety symptoms in
the specific population.
