Published: October 2023

In the current digital era, text documents become valuable for businesses to reach potential customers and curtail advertising costs. However, extracting and classifying beneficial information from texts can prove challenging and time-consuming, particularly in complex languages like Vietnamese. This study aims to classify the sentiment of Vietnamese comments on e-commerce websites into negative and positive classes. To enhance the performance of sentiment classification, the study fine-tuned traditional models of Convolutional Neural Networks and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). Then, this research proposed a combination of RNN and attention mechanisms at the word and word-and-sentence levels of the input document. The results showed an impressive accuracy of 93.72% and an F1 score of 93.7% on the RNN model with a word-and-sentence-level attention mechanism. This research outcome contributes to the field of text classification and could be applied in opinion mining, customer feedback analysis, and natural language processing. Future work aims to enhance sentiment analysis accuracy and expand the models’ scope to encompass more languages.

Published: October 2023

Objectives: This study aims to identify the impact of some applied sports psychology methods on the psychological aspects level among Jordanian Karate team players during the spread of Covid-19.

Methods: The researchers used the quasi-experimental approach, on a purposive sample consisting of (12) players (18-29) years and were divided into an experimental group (8) players and a control sample (4) players. Data were collected using the questionnaire developed by the researcher, which included four areas: self-confidence, anxiety, motivation, and psychological stress to measure the level of the psychological aspects. The researchers developed a psychological rehabilitation program that included positive self-talk, mental visualization, and social support that was applied to the experimental group. The program is composed of (12) psychological rehabilitation sessions for players during the full lockdown period due to the covid-19 spread. The researchers used the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (Spss) to find means, standard deviations, reliability coefficient (Cronbach Alpha), independent T-test, and paired-samples T-test.

Results: The results of the study have shown that psychological aspects level was a high degree in pre-measurement for the motivation and self-confidence, and a medium degree for the anxiety and psychological stress. Furthermore, there are statistically significant differences between the pre and post-tests for the level of some psychological aspects among the Jordanian Karate team according to the psychological tools variable, and favor of the experimental group.

Conclusions: Based on the results of the study, the researchers recommend using psychological applied methods as a positive factor in improving the level of psychological aspects of players in crises
Unconventional building forms roofed with innovative structures arranged on regular surfaces with the negative Gaussian curvature
Authors: Abramczyk Jacek , Chrzanowska Katarzyna
Published: October 2023

A novel method for shaping innovative building forms, roofed with diversified complex continuous and discontinuous folded structures composed of many transformed corrugated shell units, is presented in the paper. The units are defined on the basis of specific reference polyhedral networks and arranged on arbitrary reference surfaces characterized by the negative Gaussian curvature. The method is presented using several computer models of complex building structures with folded plane-walled elevations. The proposed method significantly supplements the previous method developed for modelling building free forms, roofed with shell structures arranged in conformity with surfaces having the positive Gaussian curvature. Some basic rules using parameterization and governing the creation of the multi-plane elevations, ribbed continuous and discontinuous roof shell structures, arranged in different unconventional and visually attractive patterns, were developed. The elaborated specific sets of division coefficients are taken as parameters for the designed building structures. These sets determine unconventional polyhedral networks, which are composed of several specific sets that allow to define a polygonal eaves network, a reference surface and, finally, individual shell units of the roof structures. The developed method is presented using the example of three novel forms defined by means of the appropriately selected diversified sets of values of the division coefficients. The elaborated new forms confirm the innovative nature of the achieved results. By imposing appropriate proportions between the values of these division coefficients, the developed method enables the creation of two different groups continuous and discontinuous complex shell roof structures.
Socio-economic factors associated with house prices. Evidence based on key macroeconomic aggregates globally
Authors: Lewandowska Gabriela , Taracha Michal , Maciuk Kamil
Published: October 2023

The aim of this paper is to assess the association between macroeconomic factors and house prices in selected OECD countries. In this paper, authors describe selected socioeconomic factors, adapt a transparent methodology based on the OECD database and derive results shedding a light on the main drivers shaping the trends of the real estate prices. Two main economic aggregates, inflation and gross domestic product (GDP) were analysed for the OECD member and non-member countries for which complete data have been made available for the period of 1990-2020. The OECD provides data for 60 countries in total, out of which 38 are members of the organization. Nevertheless, due to missing observations in certain countries, the analysis was carried out in 19 of them. The aim of the study was to determine how GDP and inflation dynamics are correlated with changes in property prices. Among the analysed countries, Japan and South Africa could be distinguished as outliers in terms of inflation, whereas in the case of GDP, Italy, Japan, Ireland and Norway stood out. Additionally, 12 representative countries were described in detail. These countries comprised four groups of three countries divided across two dimensions: the first, based on the highest and the lowest correlation coefficient, and the second, based on the measure used to calculate the correlation coefficient (correlation of the house prices with GDP and correlation of the house price with inflation). On the basis of the analyses, it was shown that the association between GDP and house prices is stronger than that between inflation and house prices – in most cases, prices increased at a similar rate as GDP. A particularly high correlation between GDP and house prices was found for Norway, New Zealand and Sweden, indicating a potentially higher marginal housing consumption responsiveness to changes in housing wealth in these highly developed countries, characterised by particularly low housing transaction costs and efficient mortgage market. It was deduced that such characteristics lead to a higher wealth elasticity of demand for new houses.

The distribution of disadvantaged groups in need of health services is increasing every year. The government's BPJS program cannot be fully followed by the marginalized. Therefore, we need NGOs that care about the health of marginalized people, like the LKC Dompet Dhuafa service. Every month, hundreds of medical services are successfully provided by Dompet Dhuafa, but medical data management is not done optimally. The purpose of this activity is to support health data management of marginalized people in areas under the leadership of Dhuafa Wallet as an innovation to promote teamwork in the field. Methods to support this activity include 1) Improve knowledge of data management and medical record keeping, and 2) Create a health information system for disadvantaged groups. The target of this activity is 8 volunteers. Based on the evaluation results, volunteers' knowledge increased from an average score of 60 to 80. It is hoped that this health data management support will fill the gap and improve health services for disadvantaged groups.

Empleo Protegido a favor de las personas con discapacidad en el sector privado ecuatoriano
Authors: Arteaga Moreira Ana Jessenia , Silva Briones Xiomara Marcela , Véliz Vergara Melanie Briggitte
Published: October 2023

El Empleo Protegido es una de las medidas de acción positiva adoptada con la finalidad de lograr la inclusión laboral de las personas con discapacidad mediante los Centros Especiales de Empleo (CEE). El estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la implementación del Empleo Protegido como instrumento de acceso al empleo para las personas con discapacidad en el sector privado en el Ecuador. La metodología utilizada fue cualitativa orientada principalmente a la descripción, comprensión, interpretación y justificación de la situación jurídica ecuatoriana, comparada con la doctrina y legislación española y chilena. Los resultados evidenciaron que, en el Ecuador, el mecanismo del Empleo Protegido es aún desconocido y prevalece la cuota de reserva del 4% en el empleo ordinario para personas con discapacidad, lo que lleva a contrataciones meramente cumplidoras de obligaciones legales y no garantiza el trabajo digno. La falta de CEE se atribuye a la ausencia de incentivos tributarios y políticas de inclusión por parte del Estado, limitando así el desarrollo de la inclusión laboral adecuada tanto en el sector privado como público. Sin embargo, los CEE buscan la integración laboral equitativa de personas con discapacidad, promoviendo su sostenibilidad económica y social mediante el desarrollo de habilidades.

FPSO: an efficient Fuzzy driven Particle Swarm Optimization routing protocol in vehicular ad hoc networks
Authors: GhasemAhmad Majid , Harounabadi Ali , Ph.D. Mehdi Sadeghzadeh,
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we propose a new approach to route informational messages in VANET. This process contains two steps: the first step is based on the validity of links between vehicles. Using a fuzzy inference system, the available nodes in the network consider the paths with a higher amount of link validity. The second step is inspired by the social behavior of birds through which, by having a population of candidate solutions, a problem is solved. In this step, the available vehicles in the network are divided into some particles. These particles are supposed to find the best path from source to destination in case the congestion is detected and broadcasted by other vehicles. We have considered three parameters as input parameters for PSO, i.e., the output of fuzzy logic, the validity of links, the number of neighbor nodes, and the distance between them. This approach allows PSO to calculate a path for transmitting messages.  
VRNConnect: A virtual reality immersive environment for exploring brain connectivity data

Published: October 2023

 Introduction:

A brain connectome models the clusters of neurons as inter-connected nodes and can be obtained from different imaging techniques, including diffusion and functional MRI, for structural and functional connectivity, respectively. It offers us the opportunity to gain further insights regarding neural circuitry to better understand the mechanisms of brain functions and diseases. However, visualization, spatial understanding, and analysis of the network's topology are difficult due to the neuroanatomy's complex configuration of brain parcellation and 3D nature. Virtual reality (VR) off ers more intuitive visualization andinteraction for 3D data than traditional 2D displays and is a great fi t to tackle the challenges in visualizing andanalyzing brain connectomes. We introduce a novel immersive VR platform for connectomic data exploration, VRNConnect, with a user-friendly interface for quantitative network analysis and exploration. We demonstrated the functionalities of the system with structural connectivity.

Methods:

The VRNConnect software was built using the Unity 3D game engine (v2021.3) and Oculus integration SDKv38. An Occulus Quest2 VR headset was used for system development. To create the structural connectome, we used the DWI and T1w MRI of a single subject provided by the B.A.T.M.A.N tutorial. Whole braintractography was performed using the iFOD2 and SIFT algorithms in MRtrix3, and the connectivitymatrix was extracted with the HCP-MMP1 atlas, resulting in 360 nodes. To allow interactive networkanalysis, we employed the Brain Connectome Toolbox library (bctpy v0.6) as the backends for our VR userinterface to compute graph-based metrics, such as clustering coefficient and the shortest path betweennodes, which can be calculated on both hop count- or distance-based. Both controller- and hand gesture basednode and edge selection and interaction were implemented to pick the node of interest, and functions,including connectivity strength thresholding and brain model scaling and zooming. Furthermore, thesoftware allows users to import their connectomic data and/or utilize their own toolbox (with minor codingadjustments) for analysis.

Published: October 2023

 This paper investigates the discussion on autonomous weapons, delving into the legal, ethical and practical implications of AI and military technology. We find that as the deployment of many autonomous weapons becomes increasingly prevalent, concerns regarding accountability, transparency, and compliance with international humanitarian law have escalated, leading to the question of human control. By utilizing a multi-dimensional research approach through policy reviews, case studies, and ethical examinations, this study emphasizes the necessity of establishing clear ethical frameworks, and legal regulations to guide the development, deployment, and use of autonomous weapons. The findings of this research contribute significantly to the field of AI ethics, military strategy, and international law. The key findings highlight the potential risks and ethical challenges associated with the lack of human control, providing valuable insights to policymakers, researchers, and defense experts to promote responsible AI governance and safeguard human rights in the realm of military technology. 
Evaluating Cortical Activity and Balance Performance in Alpine Skiers Using Single-Leg Stance and Modified Hop Balance Test
Authors: Khan Haroon , Redondo Paolo Victor , Engell Håvard , Ombao Hernando , Mirtaheri Peyman
Published: October 2023

The study investigates the impact on cortical activation during Single-leg Stance (SLS) and Dual-leg Stance (DLS) and its connection to skier balance performance, utilizing functional nearinfrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). In this experiment, nine young skiers participated, performing both SLS and DLS on challenging surfaces while being monitored with fNIRS. We introduced an alpinespecific balance test called the Modified Hop Balance Test (MHBT), designed to assess the balance proficiency of skier’s ability to control the upper body’s vertical orientation during SLS. We employed a statistical model based on a functional mixed-effects framework to analyze hemodynamic response changes across various conditions. The results from the MHBT with open eyes (tests 1 and 2) revealed variations in stability between the left and right foot when moving forward, compared to lateral movements with the same foot (tests 5 and 7). Interestingly, skiers exhibited slightly better overall scores in lateral movements compared to straight-line ones, indicating their proficiency in maintaining stability during sideways skiing. SLS exhibited significantly higher cortical activation than DLS, with no significant difference observed between left and right-leg stances. It appears that tasks demanding greater motor control or higher complexity lead to increased cortical activation. For future research, a longitudinal study is needed to observe how training and corresponding neuromuscular efforts influence cortical activation over time. Furthermore, we hypothesize that as athletes improve their balance skills, the level of cortical activity will become more optimized and similar in both SLS and DLS conditions. Therefore, considering lateralized patterns of cortical activity could be valuable when interpreting postural deficiencies in cases of SLS.
The Infinity Walk: A Promising Approach to Enhancing Motor Control and Balance - An fNIRS Study
Authors: Khan Haroon , Naseer Noman , Mirtaheri Peyman
Published: October 2023

This study investigates the cortical activation effects of the Infinity Walk and examines the influence of the foot’s overpronation and footwear on motor control. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a portable and user-friendly neuroimaging technique, was used to measure hemodynamical changes in six individuals with non-critical pronation degrees. Participants perform the Infinity Walk under various footwear conditions while wearing a fNIRS portable imaging device. Results indicate a consistent hemodynamic pattern in both hemispheres during the Infinity Walk, with no significant differences observed across subjects and footwear conditions in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), pre-motor area, the supplementary motor cortex (PMA & SMC), the primary motor cortex (PMC), and Wernicke’s area (WA). The impact of pronation and footwear on motor control remains inconclusive due to inconsistent hemodynamic patterns. Notably, the activation patterns in Broca’s area (BA) and the temporal gyrus (TG) differ significantly from other brain regions. The balanced hemodynamic responses in the bilateral hemispheres may be attributed to the Infinity Walk’s inherent walking pattern. These findings suggest that the Infinity Walk shows promise as a motor rehabilitation tool, as it promotes positive hemodynamic activation and exhibits similar activation patterns in both hemispheres.
Application of Artificial Intelligence Techniques to Improve Sentinel-3 Spatial Resolution
Authors: Peña Fernández María , García Díaz Daniel , Aguilar Gómez Fernando
Published: October 2023

The Sentinel-2 mission satellites provide multispectral images with 13 spectral bands at three different spatial resolutions (10, 20 and 60m Ground Sample Distance - GSD). In contrast, the Sentinel-3 mission products have 21 spectral bands at a minimum spatial resolution of 300m. Therefore, the article's objective is to combine the data of two satellite missions to improve the spatial resolution of the latter. We use a convolutional neural network (CNN), which has already been proven to improve the resolution of Sentinel-2 bands from 20 and 60m GSD to 10m, and a generative adversarial network (GAN), both of which are trained with data from different latitudes and terrains at lower resolution, i.e., from 9km to 300m, to predict the step from 300m to 10m. The results of both neural networks are compared with those of the traditional pansharpening and bicubic interpolation super-resolution algorithms. Thus, it shows that the newly proposed methods improve the previous ones both through quantitative analysis and visual comparison. In particular, the outstanding performance of the GAN used is remarkable, which manages to improve the global numerical results of traditional algorithms by around 30%.
Clean self-supervised MRI reconstruction from noisy, sub-sampled training data with Robust SSDU
Authors: Millard Charles , Chiew Mark
Published: October 2023

Most existing methods for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction with deep learning use fully supervised training, which assumes that a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), fully sampled dataset is available for training. In many circumstances, however, such a dataset is highly impractical or even technically infeasible to acquire. Recently, a number of self-supervised methods for MR reconstruction have been proposed, which use sub-sampled data only. However, the majority of such methods, such as Self-Supervised Learning via Data Undersampling (SSDU), are susceptible to reconstruction errors arising from noise in the measured data. In response, we propose Robust SSDU, which provably recovers clean images from noisy, sub-sampled training data. Robust SSDU trains the reconstruction network to map from a further noisy and sub-sampled  version of the data to the original, singly noisy and sub-sampled data, and applies a Noisier2Noise correction term at inference. We also present a related method, Noiser2Full, that recovers clean images when noisy, fully sampled data is available for training. Both proposed methods are applicable to any network architecture, straight-forward to implement and have similar computational cost to standard training.  We evaluate our methods on the multi-coil fastMRI brain dataset with a novel denoising-specific architecture and find that it performs competitively with a benchmark trained on clean, fully sampled data.
Multipath-RTI: Millimeter-Wave Radio Based Device-Free Localization
Authors: Kim Minseok
Published: October 2023

This paper presents a novel localization technique—Multipath-radio tomographic imaging (RTI)—based on millimeterwave (mm-wave) radio systems, such as 5G mobile and WiGig LAN systems. Because of their high delay and angle resolutions, mm-wave radio systems can realize highly accurate device-free localization (DFL) for smart home/smart building applications. They can thus easily separate the multipath components. The Multipath-RTI can drastically reduce the number of anchor nodes using virtual nodes created by multipaths. This paper established the signal processing procedure for RTI image generation and position estimation using Multipath-RTI. Then, a practical signal processing scheme, ray-tracing-assisted Multipath-RTI, is presented, and the DFL results obtained by multilink double-directional channel sounding measurements are shown. Here, the position estimation errors in the measurements were less than 0:5 m for all target positions. Furthermore, the empirical position estimation errors for a single target under various conditions obtained by simulations were less than 0:5 m in 96.2 % and 88.0 % of the areas in an L-shaped room and a room with an obstacle in the center, respectively. The position estimation accuracy for multiple targets was also evaluated, where, for example, the errors for three targets were less than 0.1 m at 50 % probability with failure rates of less than 20 %.

Dal ricordo al racconto
Authors: Moscadelli Stefano
Published: October 2023

The phenomenon of military internment in Germany provides a thought-provoking context that attracts various disciplinary interests. Within this volume, the author employs a primarily archival approach, interweaving historical and anthropological perspectives. The aim is to analyze and present a complex source that defies conventional categorization. The «diary» of sailor Giulio Bogino (1923-2013) – an evolving work in progress continuously revised until the early 2000s – can indeed be considered as the testimony of an internment survivor in a concentration camp in the hinterland of Hamburg, who reinterprets the memories of his captivity throughout his lifetime, ultimately transmuting them into a sort of ‘popular narrative’ imbued with occasional epic undertones. This volume offers a comprehensive introduction to the source itself, highlighting its distinctive features. The diary (1943-1948) is meticulously edited and presented alongside an extensive apparatus of explanatory footnotes, accompanying documents, as well as a rich collection of photographs and cartographic materials.

المجتمع: تمثل مجتمع البحث بجميع العاملين من الموظفين في جامعة جابر بن حيان الطبية وعددهم (245) وزعت الباحثة وباستخدام طريقة العينة العشوائية (130) استبانة، استرجع منها (115) استبانة وبمعدل(88%) من الاستمارات الموزعة وجميعها صالحة للتحليل الاحصائي.

الادوات:  قامت الباحثة بالحصول على البيانات والمعلومات بشكل اساسي من خلال الاستبانة ومن ثم إجراء عدد من الاختبارات الاحصائية باستخدام برنامج (Spss v.23) .

الاستنتاجات والتوصيات: تركيز السلوك الايثاري على تماسك المجتمع الوظيفي ورفاهه وتقدمه اذ ان المنظمة الذي يكثر فيها الأفراد الذين يتميزون بالإيثار تميل العلاقات والتفاعلات بين افراده الى أن تكون على اساس الحب والتعاطف فيسودها السلم ويشعر الجميع فيه بالرضا والتفاعل بشكل أفضل مع بعضهم البعض في المنظمة المبحوثة، وان من اهم التوصيات أن تعمل المنظمة المبحوثة على تشجيع السلوك الأخلاقي الايجابي والتمسك بالمبادئ الاخلاقية والابتعاد عن السلوكيات السلبية التي تخلق حالة من الاهمال لدى العاملين، كون السلوك الايثاري يعتبر المنهج لمن يريد النجاح والتميز وهو منهج داعم للإدارة العليا الفاعلة وهو عنصر هام للنجاح الوظيفي على المدى الطويل.

Introduction: Accurate prenatal recognition of acquired and congenital disease states that affect foetal function and structure must be first critical step in reducing or preventing perinatal morbidity and mortality. Antepartum foetal heart rate tests based on acceleration of rate with foetal movement (non-stress test or NST) or the presence or absence of periodic decelerations with uterine contractions (contraction stress test or CST) have proved to be useful methods for antepartum assessment of foetal risk. Objective: To assess the foetal assessment based on biophysical profile scoring. Methods: A prospective design was considered suitable for the present study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka during the period from July 2006 to December 2006.

Through a comprehensive investigation, we aim to contribute valuable insights that could aid in designing more targeted and effective strategies for promoting the health and well-being of postmenopausal women. Objective: To assess serum uric acid in postmenopausal women. Methodology: This cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at Department of Physiology of Rajshahi Medical College from July 2018 to June 2019. Where 200 healthy postmenopausal women aged 50-70 years in Rajshahi city were included as sample size. The healthy adults who were fulfill the inclusion criteria was enrolled in this study. After taking informed consent, complete history taking and physical examination was done and recorded in a preformed data sheet. Results: Out of 200 postmenopausal women, 19.5% have hyperuricemia. Remaining 80.5% of postmenopausal women have normal serum uric acid level. The mean serum uric acid level among group-I of postmenopausal women were 6.06±0.94 mg/dl and group-II of postmenopausal women were 6.35±1.02 mg/dl, which does not differ significantly. Conclusion: Heightened serum uric acid levels were detected among postmenopausal women, reinforcing the finding that as women in this group age, there is a noteworthy rise in their serum uric acid levels. This highlights the imperative need for consistent monitoring of serum uric acid in this specific demographic.

A porção da população composta por pessoas idosas está experimentando o maior crescimento anual. Em várias nações desenvolvidas, eles já representam cerca de 30% da população total. A incidência de epilepsia entre os idosos é de 100 casos por 100.000 habitantes por ano, embora essa cifra, provavelmente, seja subestimada devido ao sub diagnóstico preciso das crises epilépticas. Comparando essa incidência com a da infância, percebe-se que ela é duas vezes maior aos 70 anos e triplica aos 80 anos de idade. O presente artigo consiste em uma revisão integrativa, no qual tem como objetivo discorrer acerca da fisiopatologia, do diagnóstico e do tratamento da epilepsia nos idosos, mediante considerações acerca das características da patologia nos mesmos, no intuito de ampliar os conhecimentos da população, estudantes e profissionais da área acerca do tema. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, na qual foi realizada uma busca nas bases de dados. A fisiopatologia da epilepsia em idosos é um processo complexo e, frequentemente, é influenciada por mudanças neurobiológicas e fisiológicas relacionadas ao envelhecimento. Embora muitos dos mecanismos fundamentais da epilepsia se apliquem a todas as faixas etárias, há características distintas que merecem destaque quando se trata da população idosa. Em suma, compreender a fisiopatologia da epilepsia em idosos é fundamental para lidar com os desafios de diagnóstico e tratamento. As mudanças relacionadas ao envelhecimento afetam a forma como a mesma se apresenta, responde aos medicamentos e é avaliada.

Published: October 2023

Die Afrikaanse TipTop-Taalreeks is uniek omdat dit ´n internasionale karakter het en Kortpad-Praatjies I sluit tientalle stemopnames van grammatika-oefeninge in. Dit bevat ook dialoë wat in die Maroela-ateljees deur ´n span akteurs onder die leiding van Leon van Nierop opgeneem is. Hierdie werkboek sou egter nooit sy lesers, veral dié buite die grense van Suid-Afrika, bereik het as dit nie was vir die finansiële ondersteuning van die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns, asook die PUK-Kanselierstrust nie. Al die betrokkenes by die werkboek is onder die indruk van die positiewe gesindheid en milde bydraes van dié instansies. The Afrikaans TipTop Language Series is unique because it has an international character and Shartcut Chats I includes dozens of voice recordings for grammar exercises. It also contains dialogues recorded in the Maroela Studios by a team of actors under the direction of Leon van Nierop. However, this workbook would never have reached its readers, especially those outside South African borders, had it not been for the financial support of the South African Academy of Science and Art, as well as the PUK Chancellor’s Trust. All those involved in the workbook are impressed by the positive attitude and generous contributions of these institutions.
