Published: November 2023

The study was aimed to determineperceptions and reviews of the currently available tobacco cessation mobile applications (apps) by online and on-field surveys.

In Phase I, the most commonly used tobacco cessation applications with the highest rating from Google Play Store were selected. The most relevant, positive and critical reviews of these apps were recorded. In Phase II, tobacco users with smart phone & internet connectivity and ready to give verbal consent were included in the study. The same apps were allocated to the study participants. At the end of the 2nd week of app use, the participants were subjected to a questionnaire for feedback on liked, disliked & most used features, frequency of app use, utility, expectations, and suggestions for app.

The selected apps were QuitNow, Smoke Free, Quit Tracker, Stop Smoking – EasyQuit and Quit Smoking – SSC. The positive responses in Phase I were customer support, tracking statistics, reward system, craving management, user friendliness, and informative. The negative responses were lacking customer support, less user friendly, pushing for in-app purchases. In phase II, 40 tobacco users were included. 8 study participants were allocated for each app. The liked features were time, health & money, tracking, and gaming feature. The disliked features were advertisements (adds) and language barriers. The suggestions/expectations of study participants were removal of adds, user-friendliness, craving management, and local language.

Our research compared and analysed few of the most used tobacco cessation applications used by millions of users but still could not find an ideal tool to deliver the aid for tobacco cessation through the mHealth approach. Use of pros & unique features and mitigation of cons may prove helpful for increasing compliance. An approach should be taken to understand more of the user's perspective and expectations rather than seeing it as a commercial opportunity.
Development and optimization of mouth-dissolving strips of L-methyl folate: A modern approach for patient compliance
Authors: Prajapati Bhupendra , Varia Umang , Gol Varundev
Published: November 2023

The goal of this study is to create a mouth-melting strip of L-methyl folate calcium, which will dissolve and disintegrate more quickly when given orally for the onset of action.

: Solvent casting was used to create a calcium L-methyl folate film that dissolves in the mouth. Polymer, plasticizer, and flavouring agents were chosen after early experiments. Once the excipients were chosen, 3 complete factorial designs were used to improve the formulation. Folding endurance (Y1), tensile strength (Y2), and disintegration time (Y3) were chosen as dependent variables, whereas HPMC E5 concentration (X1) and glycerine concentration (X2) were chosen as independent variables. The film's physicochemical parameters, including SEM, thickness, percent elongation, percent cumulative drug release, and palatability, were measured for the optimized batch and compared to those of the commercial product.

The formulation of the mouth-dissolving strip took into account outcomes from the trial batch, including transparency, stickiness, and brittleness. The optimal batch has 55% HPMC E5 and 14.9% glycerine, with a folding endurance of 59±0.23, a tensile strength of 4.18±0.07 N/m, and a disintegration time of 40±0.12 seconds. The optimized film has dimensions of 0.08±0.01 mm in thickness, 60±1.58 mg in mass, 15.33±0.25% in elongation, and 98.33±0.27% in content uniformity. The SEM results validate the uniform film with uniform drug distribution. After 3 minutes, the L-methyl folate calcium mouth-dissolving strip had a %CDR of 99.42%. Findings of f2=52.85 and f1=12.5 for the similarity factor suggest that the medication release is clinically and commercially equivalent. One month of stability at 30°C and 65%RH was observed for the improved batch.

The results of the created mouth-dissolving strip test are satisfactory, indicating the intended medication release. When compared to pills that dissolve in the mouth, it is clear that it is more patient-friendly.
The Problem of Developing the Theory of Bureaucracy: the Case of Russia
Authors: Makarenko V.P.
Published: November 2023

The article raises the problem of using transformations in Russia over the past three hundred years as a material for creating a theory of bureaucracy that differs from Weber's concept. This problem is solved on the basis of the application of concepts developed at the Rostov School of Political Sciences of the Southern Federal University (Russia). A conceptual apparatus is being developed that allows studying Russian, Soviet and post-Soviet bureaucracy in connection with the process of forming an opposition in Russia, which is free from stereotypes of bureaucratic activity, behavior and thinking. Such an opposition could not arise either in monarchical, Soviet, or post-Soviet Russia. The reasons are explained in the theory of bureaucracy, which contains a reconstruction of Marx's definition of bureaucracy as a social parasite organism, a reflection of many social contradictions and the embodiment of political alienation. The cognitive situation in modern Russia is discussed; ways for the researcher to circumvent the choice imposed on him by the post-Soviet government, the specifics of the genesis and structure of the police society in the country.
Between Terror and Sanctity: the Life and Destiny of Ilya Bunakov-Fondaminsky (1880–1942)
Authors: Kara-Murza A.A.
Published: November 2023

The article examines the life path of the Russian intellectual and politician Ilya Isidorovich Fondaminsky (1880–1942; literary and political pseudonym “Bunakov”). Coming from a Jewish merchant family, Fondaminsky was unable, due to the “Jewish quota”, to get a decent education in Russia and, after graduating from a private gymnasium, went to study philosophy and history at the Universities of Berlin and Heidelberg, where his professors were Kuno Fischer, Wilhelm Windelband, Heinrich Thode. After returning to Russia in 1904, he became one of the leaders of the Moscow committee of the Party of Socialist-Revolutionaries, participated in the work of the Combat group, preparing terrorist acts, and during the December (1905) armed uprising in Moscow, purchased weapons at the personal expense. He was repeatedly arrested, and in 1907 went to the first emigration (1907–1917). After the February Revolution – he was one of the leaders of the Executive Committee of the Council of Peasant Deputies, the General Commissar of the Provisional Government in the Black Sea Fleet, from which he was elected a deputy of the Constituent Assembly. After the Bolshevik coup and the dispersal of the constituent assembly – a member of the “white” underground, and since 1919 again an emigrant. I.I. Fondaminsky became one of the central figures of the Russian post-revolutionary emigration in France: he published the journals “Modern Notes” and “Novy Grad”, conducted extensive cultural and educational activities, becoming increasingly interested in religious issues. During the German occupation of France, Fondaminsky received Orthodox baptism, but in 1942 he ended his earthly days together with his fellow Jews in the gas chamber of Hitler's Auschwitz-Oswenzim. In 2004. he, along with three other Russian ascetics-emigrants, was beatified by the Patriarchate of Constantinople of the Orthodox Church.
Configuración afectiva de familias monoparentales: reflexiones críticas para decolonizar la investigación social
Authors: Aya Angarita Sandra Liliana
Published: November 2023

El propósito de este artículo es exponer las deliberaciones epistemológicas, ontológicas y metodológicas suscitadas en el desarrollo de la investigación doctoral titulada Configuración de prácticas y saberes afectivos en familias monoparentales de la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia, las cuales surgen a partir de la apuesta decolonial asumida en tal estudio y aluden, por un lado, al cuestionamiento sobre la exclusión de las emociones en los discursos anclados a esta perspectiva; y por otro, a la subalternización de un solo grupo poblacional y, con esta, a la fragmentación del ser que mantienen algunas comprensiones decoloniales. Tales deliberaciones impulsan una propuesta metodológica para descolonizar la investigación social, propuesta que conecta algunas interpretaciones epistemológicas de la decolonialidad con algunas nociones ontológicas y metodológicas ofrecidas por la complejidad, conexión que deriva en cuatro ejes que guían la acción investigativa y que conducen a la implementación de tres abordajes: los grupos reflexivos, el autodescubrimiento afectivo de la cotidianidad familiar y el espiral del tiempo emocional.
Technical Success and Safety of Transradial Uterine Artery Embolisation for Symptomatic Fibroids at a Single Centre in South Africa
Authors: Wiechers Lumart , Sudwarts Gary , Wojno Maja , Mngomezulu Victor
Published: November 2023

Background

The femoral artery has remained the primary means of vascular access for uterine artery embolisation in the treatment of uterine fibroids. Transradial access for coronary artery catheterization is gaining wider acceptance, with studies in the cardiac literature demonstrating key advantages. The primary objective of this study was to compare the technical success and safety of the transradial approach for uterine artery embolization performed at a single centre in South Africa.

Methods

Data was obtained from consecutive patients undergoing uterine artery embolisation for the treatment of symptomatic fibroids over a 30-month period. Specifically technical success and patient safety were analysed.

Results

A total of 496 patients were included in the study. Of these 27 patients had primary contraindications to radial access. The remaining 469 patients who underwent radial artery access, technical success was achieved in 459 cases (97.9%). The primary cause of technical failure was radial artery spasm (9.9%). Mean procedure times were 53.5 minutes ± 15.2 minutes with total screening times of 9.6 ± 9.1 minutes. The mean radiation dose area product was 6321.7 ± 3449.8 cGy.cm2. Complications were recorded in 40 (8.5%) patients, of which 7 (1.5%) were major complications.

Conclusions

This study corroborates evidence that this approach is a safe and effective alternative to the traditional transfemoral route for the treatment of uterine fibroids.
Using Drone Imagery to Map Intertidal Oyster Reefs along Florida’s Gulf of Mexico Coast
Authors: Espriella Michael , Lecours Vincent
Published: November 2023

Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reefs offer vital ecosystem services and support economically and culturally important fisheries. However, environmental and anthropogenic stressors have led to significant decline in oyster reef coverage globally and locally in places like the Suwannee Sound in Florida, USA. Current monitoring methods are insufficient for timely and accurate assessment of oyster resources in the region. Here we demonstrate how drone imagery can be used to delineate intertidal oyster reef coverage rapidly and reliably. The high spatial resolution offered by drone imagery enables accurate delineations. We use a segmentation algorithm to delineate reefs, which produces consistently detailed outlines that are more representative of reef morphology than manual delineations. In total, 1,394 reefs were delineated, which corresponds with 497, 670 m2 of reef area. Of the delineated reefs, 236 (17%) were newly mapped, aligning with 19,848 m2 of newly mapped intertidal oyster reef habitat. The overlapping drone imagery also enabled the production of digital surface models, which were used to calculate volume to area ratio as an indicator of reef condition. These delineations and features serve as accurate baseline data that can be compared to future surveys to monitor how reefs are changing over time in the Suwannee Sound. These methods can also be expanded to other geographical areas and can aid in identifying early signs of decline in oyster reefs.

The relevance. The 3D distribution of the initial oil saturation in the reservoir volume is one of the key elements of geological and technological modeling, largely determining the quality of subsequent development design solutions. The publication presents an analysis of the current state of the problem of studying the oil-water transition zone and the distribution of oil saturation. For terrigenous hydrophilic reservoirs, electric lateral logging quite reliably controls the fluid saturation of the void space of the oil part of the deposit, which suggests the possibility of its integration with widely used capillarimetry methods. Aim: to evaluate the possibility of reliably determining the oil saturation of terrigenous hydrophilic reservoirs by combining the data of electrical lateral logging, filtration-capacitance properties of reservoirs and capillarimetric core studies, to build a 3D model of the distribution of the initial oil saturation of reservoirs in oil deposits, taking into account the allocation of the oil-water transition zone. Object: oil-saturated reservoirs of the Visean oil deposits of the Perm region. Method: methods of multidimensional mathematical modeling in the development of a methodology for determining the initial oil saturation of reservoirs based on a complex of well logging and capillarimetric studies of the core, construction of 3D distribution of the initial oil saturation of the reservoir, taking into account the parameters of the oil-water transition zone. Results. The authors, based on the developed methodology for the deposit of the reservoir Bb of the Aspinskoe field, built a 3D model of the distribution of the initial oil saturation. For the studied reservoir, they carried out the analysis of distribution of zones of free saturation, undersaturation, transition zone and limiting oil saturation. The resulting 3D model can be used in geological and technological modeling of the development of an oil deposit.

Актуальность исследования обусловлена необходимостью решения проблем, связанных с контрафактной и некачественной продукцией в винодельческой отрасли. Несмотря на комплексную систему регулирования оборота алкогольной продукции, потребители всё же подвергаются риску неосознанного приобретения низкокачественных винных изделий. Недобросовестные производители приоритизируют снижение затрат перед обеспечением должного качества продукции, что негативно сказывается на общем потребительском опыте и подрывает репутацию более добросовестных производителей винных изделий. Последнее не способствует развитию конструктивной конкуренции на рынке и негативно сказывается как на рынке в целом, так и в части обеспечения интересов потребителя. В этом контексте исследовательская деятельность, направленная на автоматизированную объективную оценку качества вина по егохимическому составу с помощью методов машинного обучения, представляется актуальной. Создание инструментов, которые обеспечивают надежный и объективный способ отличить подлинные высококачественные вина от поддельных или низкокачественных аналогов, важно для обеспечения интересов потребителей и развития конструктивной конкуренции на рынке винных продуктов. Цель: создание системы для автоматизированной оценки качества вина по его химическому составу на основе модели классификации, обеспечивающей лучшее соответствие эталонному набору данных. Объекты: модели классификации, в числе которых метод опорных векторов, дерево решений, алгоритм случайного леса, нейронная сеть, множественная регрессия и их применение для автоматизированной оценки качества вина. Методы: методы машинного обучения для формирования моделей классификации; статистические методы дляоценки качества классификации и сравнения классификаторов. Результаты. С применением эталонного набора данных«Wine_Quality_Data» сформированы пять альтернативных решений на основе распространённых моделей многоуровневой классификации. С использованием статистических критериев проведено их комплексное сравнение. Наилучшим решением, положенным в основу системы автоматизированной оценки, показало себя решение на основе модели случайного леса.

Default risk in Microfinance Institutions: Case study of a Costa Rican company
Authors: Barboza-Navarro David , Solórzano Thompson Johanna , Paniagua Molina Javier
Published: November 2023

The most recent Economic Report of the Inter-American Development Bank ranks Costa Rica as the second country in Central America with the highest household indebtedness, and almost half of households have no savings. These conditions have led to increases in the default rates of loan creditors. This research analyzes the factors affecting default in a Costa Rican Microfinance Institution that grants microcredits to individuals and small businesses without access to traditional bank financing. An econometric approach with panel data was applied and the results show that default is affected by autoregressive components and the financed activity. The application of these methodologies allows strengthening credit analysis and the selection of market niches to mitigate the default risk.

Published: November 2023

This study aims to conduct a juridical review of Article 27 Paragraph (3) of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions relating to freedom of expression and acts of defamation through social media. This study uses a normative legal research method with a literature study approach. The effectiveness of Article 27 Paragraph (3) of Law Number 11 of 2008 in protecting freedom of opinion and overcoming acts of defamation through social media is still limited. Some of the obstacles faced include unclear regulations, limited law enforcement capacity in dealing with cases of defamation on social media, and problems in gathering legal and acceptable electronic evidence in court. Several recommendations to increase the effectiveness of Article 27 Paragraph (3) in overcoming acts of defamation through social media are; further clarification regarding the provisions of Article 27 Paragraph (3) ITE so can be interpreted clearly and do not leave room for different interpretations, increasing the capacity of law enforcement, regulations regarding the collection of electronic evidence that is valid and admissible in court needs to be clarified, wider outreach to the public regarding the risks and legal consequences of acts of defamation through social media and periodic evaluation of the implementation of Article 27 Paragraph (3) of ITE in dealing with defamation cases through social media. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to increase understanding, awareness, and law enforcement regarding Article 27 Paragraph (3) in overcoming acts of defamation through social media so that freedom of expression can be exercised in a balanced way by avoiding actions that violate the law
Akibat Hukum Akta Jual Beli yang tidak Dibuat di hadapan Pejabat Pembuat Akta Tanah [The Legal Implications of a Sale and Purchase not Made in the Presence of Land Deed Official]
Authors: Putri Inggar Komala , Bianda Rachel , Widjojo Anne Gunadi Martono
Published: November 2023

The deed of sale and purchase is a deed drawn up by the Land Deed Officers (PPAT) so that it is included as an authentic deed that must be signed by the parties and witnesses before the PPAT. This research analyzed the Supreme Court Decision No. 627/PK/PDT/2018 which makes the sale and purchase deed that was not signed before the PPAT as the object of the dispute. This study aims to find the legal consequences of sale and purchase deeds that are not made before the Official Making the Land Deed in the Supreme Court Decision Number 627/PK/PDT/2018. This study uses normative juridical methods with case approach. The result of this research is that not all sale and purchase deeds that are not signed before the PPAT can be cancelled. One of them is the deed of sale and purchase which is not signed before the PPAT but is already binding on a third party, so that it has the potential to harm the third party if the deed is canceled, such as the example of a dispute with the Supreme Court Decision Number 627/PK/PDT/2018.

Authors: Permanasari Nur Indah , Gunanegara Gunanegara
Published: November 2023

Land acquisition for the implementation of development in the public interest is currently increasing along with and in line with the progress and dynamics of society, both in urban and rural areas. The government's authority to conduct land acquisition for public purposes is based on the principle that all land rights have a social function. Based on this, land acquisition for the public interest, especially for toll roads, is made possible by the state. This research discusses legal certainty of process and the correct implementation of compensation in land acquisition for public interest, especially for toll roads. This research is a normative law research with statute approach. The result of the research shows that in the implementation of land acquisition, it is necessary to have compensation and is the most important element. Compensation cannot be done arbitrarily. However, it still must reflect legal certainty so that there is clarity on procedures related to the basis for payment of compensation in the land acquisition process. This research finds that there are already provisions for establishing a land acquisition process and a compensation process that must be carried out by various parties.

Triple Local Recurrence of Synovial Sarcoma: A Case Report
Authors: Edward Mouli , Akbar Kukuh Ali
Published: November 2023

Background: Synovial Sarcoma (SS) hardly appears on non-extremity sites (20% of cases). Even rarer is a local recurrence, which occurs between 10-30% of cases. Here, we present a rare case of hip Synovial Sarcoma, which recurs three times.Case Report: A 33-year-old male came to our outpatient clinic with chief complaints of a sudden ingrowing mass on his left hip. The lump is the size of a chicken egg and doesn't get bigger over time. There was palpable tenderness felt whenever he touched the lump. The patient was diagnosed with SS of the left hip with IIB stage from additional radiographic and histopathologic examination. Surgical-wide resection had been done three years before the visit, and chemotherapy six times. The lump reappeared one year before the visit, and the patient underwent a second surgery. The mass re-surfaced within the same region on the current visit for the third time, and he underwent the same surgical treatment afterward. Two years after the third surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, the patient had no complaint about a lump and planned a radiograph evaluation.Discussion: Detailed examination from history taking, physical examination, histopathologic, and radiological results is important to determine appropriate staging. With proper staging, physicians can better understand disease prognosis and risk of recurrence or metastases.Conclusions: The third recurrence may still happen on SS. Its unique location might contribute to this unique occurrence, and the size of the tumor makes the recurrence rate higher.

Published: November 2023

Introductions: The localization of Female Sex Workers (FSW), one of the largest in Southeast Asia, has considerably reduced because of the government’s actions since 2014. Minimal research reported on the association factor among ex-FSW and non-FSW. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the association of demographic factors among ex-FSW and non-FSW in the ex-localization area. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study to identify the association of demographic factors among ex-FSW and non-FSW in the ex-localization area in Surabaya, Indonesia. Seventy-five participants met inclusion criteria and were gathered at predetermined locations on December 10th, 2022, to complete demographic data. Also, they had completed Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) tests for screening the clinical depression assessment. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 24 software. Results: The study determined associated factors within the ex-FSW (p<0.05) in terms of marital status (0.03), history of psychiatric disorders (0.01), and history of smoking (0.02). The clinical depression assessment was higher in the ex-FSW group (22.5%) than in the non-FSW group (11.43%). Conclusions: Based on the work history of FSWs and non-FSWs, it had been found associated in terms of marital status, history of psychiatric disorders, and smoking history. Also, the Clinical Depression occurred more in the ex-FSW than the non-CSW group.

Published: November 2023

Introductions: The prevalence of burnout among health workers in Indonesia varies. During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there was an increase in burnout among health workers. Many factors can affect the prevalence of burnout in health workers. Objectives: to provide an overview of the prevalence and factors that influence burnout among healthcare workers in Indonesia. Methods: The writing of this article uses the literature search method. Literature searches used the Pubmed and Google Scholar search engines, using literature within a time limit of 3 years before and three years during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: It is known that the prevalence of burnout before the COVID-19 pandemic reached 19.8%–62.85%, and during the COVID-19 pandemic reached 5.2%–82%. For factors that affect burnout before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is not much difference between factors such as age, gender, marital status, type of work, workload, stress level, length of service, number of hours worked per week, and level of education. In several studies before the COVID-19 pandemic, additional factors such as religiosity, work environment, and organizational structure leadership were found. In contrast, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were other risk factors, namely the risk of transmission of COVID-19, educational background, and access to psychological services. Conclusions: By knowing the factors related to burnout, it is hoped that it can be used as a step to form an effective and efficient management system to overcome burnout
Analisis Penerapan Kebijakan Tobacco Plain Packaging (Perbandingan Hukum Australia, Inggris, dan Belanda)
Authors: Mauldiansyah Fariz
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis paper examines the Plain Packaging Policy on tobacco products that has been implemented by Australia since 2012. Indonesia has sued Australia in the WTO DSB forum based on the provisions of GATT, TBT, and TRIPs. However, Indonesia lost the dispute along with several other tobacco-producing countries. Seeing Australia’s victory, various countries – especially countries that are parties to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control – followed Australia and implemented a similar policy. As a result, there are various objections to the Plain Packaging Policy, both from tobacco producing countries and the tobacco industry itself, because it is considered to cause discriminatory treatment of trademark protection. This paper will contain an analysis of the basis of Indonesia’s lawsuit from the perspective of the TRIPs and the Paris Convention and include a comparison between several countries that have implemented the plain packaging policies.
AbstrakTulisan ini mengkaji Kebijakan Kemasan Polos pada produk tembakau yang sejak 2012 lalu mulai diterapkan oleh Australia. Indonesia telah menggugat Australia di forum DSB WTO berdasarkan ketentuan GATT, TBT, dan TRIPs. Namun Indonesia kalah pada sengketa tersebut bersama dengan beberapa negara produsen tembakau lainnya.

This article aims to analyze the juridical implications of not registering marriages for legal protection for the community, because the existence of the PKDRT Law has not been fully able to guarantee legal protection. The writing method used is juridical-normative using a reform-oriented research typology, namely evaluating applicable rules by providing recommendations on these rules. This study concludes that there is a blurring of legal subjects that can be protected in the PKDRT Law due to differences of opinion regarding the validity of marriage based on the provisions in Article 2 of the Marriage Law. Moreover, there are differences in judges’ views on the validity of a marriage which are not recorded in several decisions of cases of domestic violence causing legal uncertainty. However, there is still an alternative for self-protection for victims of domestic violence whose marriages have not been registered, namely using the articles in the Criminal Code.

Side-scan sonar (SSS) detection is a key method in applications such as underwater environmental security and subsea resource development. The use of acoustic images for seabed target detection has gradually become a mainstream underwater detection method. However, many existing detection approaches primarily concentrate on tracking the evolution path of optical image object detection tasks, resulting in complex structures and limited versatility. To tackle this issue, we introduce a pioneering Dual-Domain Multi-Frequency Network (D2MFNet) meticulously crafted to harness the distinct characteristics of SSS image detection. In D2MFNet, aiming at the underwater detection requirements of small scenes, we introduce a novel method for optimize and improve the detection sensitivity of different frequency ranges and propose a Multi-Frequency Combined Attention Mechanism (MFCAM). This mechanism amplifies the relevance of dual-domain features across different channels and space. Moreover, recognizing that SSS images can provide richer insights after frequency domain conversion, we introduce a Dual-Domain Feature Pyramid Network (D2FPN). By incorporating frequency domain information representation, D2FPN significantly augments the depth and breadth of feature information in underwater small datasets. Our methods are seamlessly designed for integration into existing networks, offering plug-and-play functionality with substantial performance enhancements. We have conducted extensive experiments to validate the efficacy of our proposed techniques, and the results showcase their state-of-the-art performance. MFCAM improves the mAP by 16.9% in the KLSG dataset and 15.5% in the SCTD dataset. The mAP of D2FPN was improved by 8.4% in the KLSG dataset and by 9.8% in the SCTD dataset. We will make our code and models publicly available at https://dagshub.com/estrellaww00/D2MFNet.

For the polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC), the separator thickness plays an important role to determine the weight, the volume and the costs of the PEFC. In addition, thermal management, i.e. temperature distribution is also important for the PEFC system to obtain higher performance. However, there were few reports investigating the relationship between the temperature distribution and the power generation performance such as current density distribution of PEFC operated at higher temperature (HT-PEFC). The aim of this study is to clarify the impact of separator thickness on the relationship between the temperature distribution and the current density distribution of HT-PEFC. This study has also investigated the impact of separator thickness on the relationship between the temperature distribution and the gases such as H2, O2 and the current density distribution of HT-PEFC numerically using CFD software COMSOL Multiphysics. The separator thicknesses of 2.0 mm, 1.5 mm and 1.0 mm were studied. In the study, the operation temperature and the relative humidity (RH) of supply gas were also changed. As a result, it was revealed that the optimum separator thickness was 2.0 mm to obtain higher power generation of HT-PEFC. Since the heat capacity in the case of the separator thickness of 2.0 mm was the largest among the separators investigated in this study, the dehydration of PEM and catalyst layer was smaller compared with the thinner separator thicknesses. It was also revealed that the impacts of separator thickness on distribution of gases, e.g. O2, H2O, and current density distribution became larger under higher temperature and lower RH conditions. This study also concluded that the tendency of temperature distribution matched those of O2, H2O and current density distributions.
ConLBS: An Attack Investigation Approach by Contrastive Learning with Behavior Sequence
Authors: Li Jiawei , Zhang Ru , Liu Jianyi
Published: November 2023

Attack investigation is an important research field in forensics analysis. Many existing supervised attack investigation methods rely on well-labeled data for effective training. While the unsupervised approach based on BERT can mitigate the issues, the high degree of similarity between certain real-world attack and normal behaviors makes it challenging to accurately identify disguised attacks. This paper proposes ConLBS, an attack investigation approach that combines the contrastive learning framework and multi-layer Transformer network to realize the classification of behavior sequences. Specifically, ConLBS constructs behavior sequences describing behavior patterns from audit logs, and a novel lemmatization strategy is proposed to map the semantics to the attack pattern layer. Four different augmentation strategies are explored to enhance the differentiation between attack and normal behavior sequences. Moreover, ConLBS can perform unsupervised representation learning on unlabeled sequences, and can be trained either supervised or unsupervised depending on the availability of labeled data. The performance of ConLBS is evaluated in two public datasets. The results show that ConLBS can effectively identify at-tack behavior sequences in the cases of unlabeled data or less labeled data to realize attack investigation, and achieve the superior effectiveness compared to existing methods and models.

Antibiotic-free approaches are more important than ever to deal with the rapidly growing problem of antibiotic resistance. The blue light 460nm (BL460nm) has been shown to effectively attenuate Staphylococcus aureus to chemical and physical agents through photolysis of the bacterial virulence factor Staphyloxanthin. However, the phototherapy using BL640nm has yet to be investigated in detail for its safety in eradicating Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we used a LED source producing a continuous wavelength of 460 nm along with hydrogen peroxide to treat S. aureus in culturing conditions and a wound abrasion mouse model. The results proved the safety of the combined therapy when it did not modify the bacterial virulence factors or the susceptibility to the widely used antibiotics. In addition, the experimental results on the mouse skin infection model also showed that the combined therapy is safe to apply to mouse skin and that it did not cause adverse skin irritation. Furthermore, the therapy can help Staphylococcus aureus-infected wounds heal with efficacy comparable to the topical antibiotic Fucidin. The above results suggest that the combination therapy of 460nm blue light and hydrogen peroxide can be safely used as an alternative to or adjunct to antibiotics in treating S. aureus-infected wounds.

Introduction: Bone fractures may be the result of high force impact or stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture. Bone cancer can be primarily or secondary to metastasis. Case presentation: We report a rare case of left humerus fracture in a 59-year-old male patient due to metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Our patient had no important past medical history. He suffered from two months of left arm pain, moderate disability and fever at night. Analgesics consumption resulted in minimal relieve. Trauma history was negative. X-ray of the left arm showed an osteolytic lesion with humerus fracture. Abdominal computed tomography with contrast showed right renal mass.Radical right nephrectomy was performed in addition to alignment nailing of the left humerus fracture with biopsy. Pathology report documented clear cell carcinoma with metastatic bone. The treatment was completed by chemotherapyDiscussion: Secondary bone tumors are metastatic lesions which have spread from other organs, most commonly carcinomas of the breast, lung, and prostate, and rarely from kidney. In some cases, bone metastasis could be the first symptoms of renal cell carcinoma. Conclusion: suspected pathological bone fractures should be investigated completely. It may hide a tumor as a cause.

Published: November 2023

Cloud detection in remote sensing images is a crucial preprocessing step that efficiently identifies and extracts cloud-covered areas within the images, ensuring the precision and reliability of subsequent analyses and applications. Given the diversity of clouds and the intricacies of the surface, distinguishing the boundaries between thin clouds and the underlying surface is a major challenge in cloud detection. To address these challenges, an advanced cloud detection method, CloudformerV3, is presented in this paper. The proposed method employs a multi-scale adapter to incorporate dark and bright channel prior information into the model's backbone, enhancing the model's ability to capture prior information and multi-scale details from remote sensing images. Additionally, multi-level large window attention is utilized, enabling high-resolution feature maps and low-resolution feature maps to mutually focus and subsequently merge during the resolution recovery phase. This facilitates the establishment of connections between different levels of feature maps and offers comprehensive contextual information for the model's decoder. Experimental results on the GF1_WHU dataset demonstrate that the method introduced in this paper exhibits superior detection accuracy when compared to state-of-the-art cloud detection models. Furthermore, enhanced detection performance is achieved along cloud edges and with respect to thin clouds, showcasing the efficacy of the proposed method.
