Multi-scale analysis of weather data for building performance assessment in Brazil
Authors:   , Silva Mario Alves da
Published: February 2025

The choice of weather data is fundamental for assessing building performance in an accurate and representative way. Typical weather files usually apply a statistical approach to select months representative of current climatic conditions, but they do not encompass site-specific characteristics for different locations worldwide. This work analyses the potential of a multi-scale analysis for building performance assessment from different resolutions of weather data, in a comprehensive geographical territory, given the size of Brazil. It presents an overview of weather data and its application on building performance analysis and a general procedure to retrieve and process weather data, and different approaches to compile weather files for building performance assessment. The study also provides an extensive analysis of the Brazilian territory, presenting a climatic profile and trends for the entire territory. The analysis focuses on a climatic and bioclimatic summary, and on building performance simulations for representative cities according to the Brazilian bioclimatic zoning. Then, it compares the records from ERA5-Land and INMET to quantify the differences and present the impact on building performance analysis. The study proposes a new weather file compilation method for Brazil and applies statistical tests to determine whether the new approach delivers better results than the existing TMY methods. The procedure encompasses correlation and sensitivity analysis based on machine learning models to propose a performance-based method. The initial analysis of the Brazilian territory showed predominantly a temperature increase based on the 2008-2022 records, with some locations reaching more than 1 °C. However, the bioclimatic approach based on Givoni’s chart showed that ventilation strategies are still the most effective approach instead of HVAC systems. Following the comparison between high resolution spatial data and weather stations from Brazil, some locations present insufficient years for a multi-year analysis and some municipalities show a significant variation not only of weather data, but also of the building performance results. Finally, the analysis of new weather files for Brazil allowed concluding that creating typical year weather files based on a performance approach delivers the best outcomes, since they are closer to the historical records. Keywords: climate analysis; building performance simulation; weather files; machine learning
Understanding Public Diplomacy Strategies of Small States: A Case Study of Singapore
Authors: Vijayan Lakshmi Priya
Published: February 2025

In an international system that is highly influenced by the actions of major powers, small states find their niche by employing methods through which they can highlight their areas of expertise and build a positive image amongst the foreign public. Public diplomacy increases the visibility of these small states on the international platform and helps in attracting foreign investments and support. Small states engage with the public of other States using various features such as culture, food, diversity, tourism, health, etc. Despite the smaller geographical size and lack of natural resources, a small state like Singapore has a good standing in international affairs because of its ability to reach a wider foreign public and build the image of an economically sound and business-friendly country. Even without a natural tourist spot of attraction, the country has been successful in establishing itself as a major tourist spot through manmade tourist sites, and extravagant infrastructure. Singapore uses ethnic diversity, city diplomacy, sustainable development models, innovation, efficient biomedical research, etc as strategies through which it can communicate with and influence the foreign public. The paper aims to explore how small states practice public diplomacy and the strategies employed, analyse the public diplomacy strategies of Singapore, and assess the impact of these strategies on Singapore’s image-building.

Pembingkaian Berita Gimik Gibran Rakabuming dalam Debat Pilpres Keempat: Analisis Framing Robert N. Entman pada Media Online Tempo.Co dan Rmol.Id Periode Januari 2024
Authors: Abyansyah Hikmal Abraar , Ahmad Zamzamy
Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze how online media Tempo.co and RMOL.id framed news related to Gibran Rakabuming's gimics in the vice presidential candidate debate in January 2024. Using qualitative research methods and Robert N. Entman's framing analysis approach, this research explores the different perspectives of the two media in presenting reality. The results showed that Tempo.co framed Gibran's gimik as impolite and unnecessary, emphasizing the negative aspects and showing the impropriety of Gibran's behavior. In contrast, RMOL.id viewed the gimik as a brave act that reflected the expression and courage of young people. The differences in the reporting of the two media reflect the construction of reality influenced by each media's preferences and perspectives. This research emphasizes that news is not a pure reflection of reality, but rather a construction that depends on the media's point of view. The findings underscore how political events can be framed differently, influencing public perception and political opinion.

Authors: Wan Hamdzan Wan Farzana Fasya , Mahmud Aidalina , Ismail Suriani , Shariff Ghazali Sazlina
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder that can be controlled by self-care which includes medication adherence and dietary adjustments. However, health literacy can impede successful self-care, leading to suboptimal blood sugar management and a diminished quality of life. This research aimed to evaluate the impact of a health literacy intervention on enhancing glycaemic control, health literacy, and the quality of life related to diabetes in T2DM patients residing in a rural Malaysian region. Materials and methods: A two-armed, single-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted among 250 diabetic patients on medication, aged 18 years and more who were enrolled from a health clinic in Selangor. The intervention group received a health literacy module, a healthy-plate guide, and a flip chart for self-management. The control group received standard diabetic education. Primary outcomes assessed glycaemic control (HbA1c levels), health literacy (HLS-EU-Q47 tool), and diabetes-related quality of life (DQoL-M) at baseline and three months post-intervention. The study is registered in the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12619001725156). Results: The result showed a statistically significant improvement in Glycaemic Control in the intervention group (F=4.003, p=0.046), but not in the control group. Health Literacy and the satisfaction domain of Diabetes Quality of Life scores were higher in the intervention compared to the control group, however, the differences between the groups were not statistically significant. Conclusion: The intervention in this study improved glycaemic control of diabetic patients. Nonetheless, there is a need for personalized diabetes care, ongoing support, and further research to enhance outcomes.

Introduction: Functional disabilities are common in community-dwelling older people, endangering their well-being and ultimately leading to deterioration in health and loss of ability to work. The ageing process and chronic diseases have been found to have a greater impact on physical or mental disabilities. This study examined functional disability in community-dwelling older people and the identified associated factors. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study of 305 community-dwelling older people was conducted within FELDA schemes in Pahang. To complete the Malay version of the Barthel Index and provide information on socio-demographic and health status, face-to-face interviews were conducted. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to examine the predictive factors. Results: The average age of participants was 69.61 years (SD = 6.30). Approximately 90.5% of participants had a functional disability. Age (-0.1 [-0.2, -0.1], P < 0.001), BMI (-0.1 [-0.2, -0.0], P = 0.015), number of chronic conditions (-0.5 [-0.7, -0.3], P < 0.001), and renal disease (-2.1 [-3.7, -0.5]), P = 0.010) were significantly associated with functional disability. Meanwhile, stroke (-5.8 [95% CI: -7.2, -4.4], P < 0.001), knee pain (-0.8 [95% CI: -1.4, -0.1], P = 0.016), and vision problems (-1.8 [95% CI: -2.8, -0.8], P = 0.001) were independent predictors, with stroke being the largest contributor. Conclusion: Our results suggested that functional disability among elderly people in Malaysia was very severe and mainly related to chronic diseases. A health promotion program should aim to help older people delay the onset of disability while optimizing their functional autonomy.

Published: February 2025

Purpose

Ovarian cancer is the fifth fatal cancer among women. Positron emission tomography (PET), which offers detailed metabolic data, can be effectively used for early cancer screening. However, proper attenuation correction is essential for interpreting the data obtained by this imaging modality. Computed tomography (CT) imaging is commonly performed alongside PET imaging for attenuation correction. This approach may introduce some issues in spatial alignment and registration of the images obtained by the two modalities. This study aims to perform PET image attenuation correction by using generative adversarial networks (GANs), without additional CT imaging.

Material and methods

The PET/CT data from 55 ovarian cancer patients were used in this study. Three GAN architectures: Conditional GAN, Wasserstein GAN, and CycleGAN, were evaluated for attenuation correction. The statistical performance of each model was assessed by calculating the mean squared error (MSE) and mean absolute error (MAE). The radiological performance assessments of the models were performed by comparing the standardised uptake value and the Hounsfield unit values of the whole body and selected organs, in the synthetic and real PET and CT images.

Results

Based on the results, CycleGAN demonstrated effective attenuation correction and pseudo-CT generation, with high accuracy. The MAE and MSE for all images were 2.15 ± 0.34 and 3.14 ± 0.56, respectively. For CT reconstruction, such values were found to be 4.17 ± 0.96 and 5.66 ± 1.01, respectively.

Conclusions

The results showed the potential of deep learning in reducing radiation exposure and improving the quality of PET imaging. Further refinement and clinical validation are needed for full clinical applicability.
Evaluating the potential of abbreviated MRI protocols for liver metastasis detection: a study in colorectal cancer patients
Authors: Emir Sevde Nur , Gürsu Merve , Dereli Bulut Safiye Sanem
Published: February 2025

Purpose

To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of different abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (AMRI) protocols consisting of dynamic enhanced + T2-weighted imaging (T2W) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) + T2W for the detection and charac­terization of liver metastases in a patient group with known colorectal cancer.

Material and methods

A total of 197 hepatic lesions were retrospectively analyzed across 3 different MRI sets: AMRI-1 (dynamic enhanced + T2W), AMRI-2 (DWI + T2W), and a standard MRI protocol. The patient cohort included 100 individuals (63 males, 37 females) with a mean age of 62.6 years (SD: 11.1 years). Lesions were characterized as benign, malignant, or indeterminate based on histopathology, positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), and follow-up imaging.

Results

The standard MRI protocol identified 197 liver lesions (175 metastatic, 18 benign, and 4 indeterminate); 142 lesions (72.1%) were larger than 10 mm, with the majority being metastatic (140/142). Radiologist 1 identified 195 lesions using the AMRI-1 protocol (175 metastatic, 15 benign, and 5 indeterminate). The sensitivity per lesion was 89.7% (95% CI: 0.85-0.93). Radiologist 2 identified 183 lesions using the AMRI-2 protocol (169 metastatic, 6 benign, and 8 indeterminate). The sensitivity per lesion was 92.3% (95% CI: 0.88-0.95). No statistically significant difference was found in sensitivity between the AMRI-1 and AMRI-2 and standard MRI protocols (p > 0.05).

Conclusions

The standard MRI protocol demonstrated the highest sensitivity and specificity for detecting and charac­terizing liver metastases. However, differences between the protocols were not statistically significant. Abbreviated MRI protocols, particularly the AMRI-2 protocol incorporating diffusion-weighted imaging, could serve as an effec­tive alternative for routine clinical practice.
