Authors: Sarem Zeinab , Alkhatib Waad
Published: June 2024

Background: Modifying lifestyles through healthy dietary choices, enhanced cooking skills, and improved nutritional knowledge has been established as an effective strategy for reducing obesity and associated chronic diseases. Aims: This study aims to contribute to this effort by investigating the nutritional profiles of commonly consumed Syrian home-cooked meals. The primary objective was to analyze the macronutrient composition (carbohydrates, protein, fat) of five selected Syrian dishes and compare them to a frequently consumed, plant-based modern meal component. Additionally, the study aimed to assess the contribution of these nutrients to daily dietary needs. Methods: Four traditional Syrian vegetarian mixed dishes (grape leaves stuffed with rice, rice with pea broth, bulgur with chickpeas and pasta with tomato sauce) were selected for analysis. These were compared to a modern, plant-based food component (fried potatoes). Proximate analysis, based on standard methods established by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), was used to determine the content of macronutrients. Carbohydrate, protein, and fat exchanges for each meal were calculated using a rounding-off method. Results: All tested traditional dishes exhibited low energy density, with moisture content ranging from 63.16 – 75,63% and ash content ranging from 0.49 – 1.01% ash. Macronutrient compositions revealed carbohydrate contents between 17.43 – 25.41%, fat contents between 0.2 – 2.84%, and protein contents between 2.34 -3.83%. Crude fiber content ranged from 0.15 – 2.17%, and energy density varied from 0.96 – 1.44 Kcal/g. These traditional dishes contributed (63.04 – 75.26%) of total food energy from carbohydrates, (6.48 – 13.85%) from fat and (1.25 – 23.11%) from protein. In contrast, fried potatoes, the modern meal component, displayed medium energy density (1.83 kcal/g), with a distinct macronutrient profile: 60.22% carbohydrate, 1.44% ash, 24.56% fat, 7.26% protein, 4.90% crude fiber, and 1.62% moisture. The energy contribution of fried potatoes was 53.63% from carbohydrates, 35.67% from fat, and 10.70% from protein. Conclusion: This study provides valuable data for the potential development of a Syrian Food Database. The results suggest that incorporating popular Syrian traditional dishes into healthy dietary intervention programs holds promise for promoting better nutrition.

Sosiologian professori Suvi Salmenniemen teos Affect, Alienation and Politics in Therapeutic Culture: Capitalism on the Skin käsittelee terapeuttista kulttuuria. Terapeuttisella kulttuurilla tarkoitetaan alan tutkimuksissa yleisesti ottaen sitä, että erilaiset psykologiasta popularisoituneet ajattelu- ja puhetavat lävistävät yhteiskunnan laajasti. Myös monenlaiset itseapu-tuotteet ja itsensä kehittäminen sekä uushenkisyys ja holistiseen ajatteluun perustuvat terapeuttiset hoidot ja käytännöt, kuten jooga, voidaan ymmärtää osana terapeuttista kulttuuria. Aiemmat aihepiirin tutkimukset ovat nostaneet esiin, että terapeuttiset puhe- ja ajattelutavat suuntaavat huomion yksilöihin ja heidän sosioemotionaalisiin valmiuksiinsa yhteiskunnan rakenteiden muuttamisen sijaan.
Salmenniemi ei pyri kiistämään tätä taipumusta tai sitä korostavia tulkintoja, mutta esittää, että sen ulkopuolelle jää jotain, jonka tavoittaminen edellyttää toisenlaista lähestymistapaa. Hän asettaakin tavoitteekseen tuoda jo tiedetyn rinnalle sen, minkä voi tavoittaa etnografian keinoin terapeuttista kenttää havainnoimalla sekä siellä toimivien ihmisten elettyjä kokemuksia kuuntelemalla, niihin perehtymällä ja niitä analysoimalla. Pyrkimyksenä on näin ymmärtää terapeuttista kulttuuria ”sisältäpäin”, terapeuttisen kentän harjoittajien kokemusten ja toiminnalleen antamien merkitysten näkökulmasta. Yksi teoksen läpäisevistä kysymyksistä on, mikä terapeuttisessa kulttuurissa vetoaa juuri tässä ajassa ja yhteiskunnallisessa tilanteessa.

The article describes a case of bleeding that occurred on the first day of life in an infant with severe hemophilia A, analyzes the directions of clinical and laboratory search for disorders of the primary and secondary blood coagulation, which made it possible to clarify the diagnosis and select appropriate hemostatic therapy. Hemorrhagic disorders in the neonatal period can be caused by a deficiency of vitamin K-dependent factors, intrauterine infection, hereditary coagulopathies, primary and secondary disorders of platelet hemostasis and a number of other reasons. Clinical manifestations of hemorrhagic syndrome in a newborn child are nonspecific; they allow one to suspect the type of bleeding, but not identify the cause of the bleeding. Additional studies reflecting the viscoelastic properties of the clot have made it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of hemostatic therapy. To clarify the true cause of bleeding, in addition to thorombeastography, it became necessary to supplement the examination of the child with factor analysis based on classical clotting tests. In terms of diagnosing blood coagulation disorders, thromboelastography had no advantages over classical factor analysis.

Dermatophytes form the group of fungal pathogens of humans, which includes 43 species, of which the most important representatives are the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum. In recent years, patients with the established diagnoses of “mycosis pedis“, "skin mycosis of the palms“ and "onychomycosis”, and associations of dermatophytes and moulds as well as dermatophytes as an aetiological factor in mixed infections and yeast-like fungi often play a role. The main objective of the current study was to determine the susceptibility of dermatophytosis pathogens (Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp.) isolated from samples of biological from patients with mycoses to modern antifungals, antiseptics and disinfectants. Within the framework of this study, 142 clinical isolates of dermatophytes identified as Trichophyton spp. (n=68) and Microsporum spp. (n=74) were obtained from patients with diagnoses of "B35.3 Mycosis of the feet", "B35.0 Microsporia". It was found that the most active antifungal agents against clinical isolates of dermatophytes are itraconazole, terbinafine and amphotericin B. Among the studied clinical isolates of Trichophyton spp. in Microsporum spp. conditionally resistant strains to the studied antimycotics have been identified. Most of the studied clinical isolates of dermatophytes were high sensitive to antiseptics based on iodine, fucorcinol, undecylenic and boric acids. Disinfectants based on aldehydes, guanidine derivatives, triamines, and glycolic acid showed the greatest activity against clinical isolates of dermatophytes. Based on our data, preference should be given to amphotericin B, itraconazole and terbinafine-based drugs when prescribing ethiotropic therapy for patients with dermatomycosis. It is advisable to use antipseptics and disinfectants for dermatomycosis, taking into account the sensitivity of micromycetes to them.

Published: June 2024

Pathology of smell is an interdisciplinary problem. Olfactory disorders are polyetiological and occur in a wide variety of diseases. However, with these complaints, patients first turn to otolaryngologists. The article describes the etiopathogenetic mechanisms of olfactory disorders, identifying the following main causes and risk factors for the development of olfactory dysfunction in adult patients: diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses; acute respiratory viral diseases; head and nose injuries; consequences of surgical treatment in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, intracranial operations; diseases of the nervous system; diseases of the endocrine system and internal organs; intoxication; taking medications; smoking; alcohol and drug addiction, age over 65 years, metabolic disorders. The mechanism of disturbance of the olfactory function is determined by the level of damage to the olfactory analyzer and is conductive, sensorineural, central and mixed. Chronic diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses are the most common cause of olfactory dysfunction. Timely detection of olfactory disorders is fundamentally important for early diagnosis of the diseases that cause them. Determining the causes and risk factors of olfactory disorders is an important task, as it helps determine treatment tactics for patients.

We examined 66 postpartum women (average age 27.6±2.3 years) who were on duty at the postpartum department of the 3rd City Clinical Hospital named after E.V. Klumova, Minsk for 2022–2024. The first inclusion included 34 patients whose birth ended with an emergency cesarean section. The comparison group included 32 patients with cesarean section caused by reasons not related to the weakness of labor. An immunohistochemical study of the expression levels of oxytocin (OT) and prostaglandin E2 (PG E2) in myometrial tissues obtained from the lower segment of the uterus during cesarean section was carried out using antibodies Oxytocin, Prostaglandin. Studies of potassium content in tissues were carried out using high-performance liquid chromatography. It was found that in patients with impaired contractile function and hypotonic dysfunction of the uterus, a strong inverse relationship was revealed between the tone of the uterus and the size of the uterine cavity (correlation coefficient r = -0.9751; p < 0.001; 95% confidence interval) and a strong direct relationship between the tone of the uterus and index of resistance of the uterine vessels (correlation coefficient r = 0.93712; p = 0.001; 95% confidence interval), which reflects a close association between a decrease in myometrial contractility and its tone. During postpartum uterine subinvolution, compared with physiological birth, an unreliable increase in the expression of oxytocin and prostaglandin E2, respectively, to 8.94 ± 2.8 and 21.47 ± 3.2 and an unreliable decrease in the level of potassium in tissues was revealed, which dictates the search for other pathognomonic and diagnostic markers violations of the contractile function of the uterus and its hypotension during childbirth.

Chronic pain remains one of the topical problems of modern medicine. The most common causes of chronic chest pain in patients over 60 years of age are diseases of the cardiovascular and respiratory system, connective tissue diseases, oncologic diseases, secondary dorsalgias. At a young age, such pain is associated with maladaptive motor stereotype of work, concomitant psychological problems, the presence of musculoskeletal pain. Differential diagnosis is made between diseases of vertebral and non-vertebral origin, costochondral, costosternal pain syndromes, pain associated with the joints of the shoulder girdle. Chest pain is an interdisciplinary medical problem, but, nevertheless, the primary appeal of these patients is to therapists and general practitioners. Patients with chest pain need a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and selection of individual therapy.

Published: June 2024

Abstract. African biomass-burning aerosol (BBA) in the southeast Atlantic Ocean (SEA) marine boundary layer (MBL) is an important contributor to Earth’s radiation budget yet its representation remains poorly constrained in regional and global climate models. Data from the Layered Atlantic Smoke Interactions with Clouds (LASIC) field campaign on Ascension Island (‑7.95° N, ‑14.36° E) detail how fire source regions (burning conditions and fuel type), transport pathways, and longer-term chemical processing affect the chemical, microphysical, and optical properties of the BBA in the remote MBL between June and September of 2017. Ten individual plume events characterize the seasonal evolution of BBA characteristics. Inefficient burning conditions, determined by the mass ratio of refractory black carbon to above-background carbon monoxide (rBC:ΔCO), enhance organic- and sulfate-rich aerosol concentrations in June–July. In contrast, the heart of the burning season exhibited higher rBC:ΔCO values indicative of efficient burning conditions, correlating with more rBC-enriched BBA. Toward the end of the burning season, a mix of burning conditions results in increased variation of the BBA properties. The BBA transit to Ascension Island was predominantly through slow-moving pathways in the MBL and lower free troposphere (FT), facilitating prolonged chemical transformations through heterogeneous and aqueous phase processes. Heterogeneous oxidation can persist for up to 10 days, resulting in a considerable decrease in organic aerosol (OA) mass. OA to rBC mass ratios (OA:rBC) in the MBL between 2 and 5 contrast to higher values of 5 to 15 observed in the nearby FT. Conversely, early-season aqueous-phase processes primarily contributed to aerosol oxidation and some aerosol production, but not appreciable aerosol removal. These two chemical processes yield more light-absorbing BBA in the MBL than in the FT and explain the notably low scattering albedo at 530 nm (SSA530) values (< 0.80) at Ascension Island. This study establishes a robust correlation between SSA530 and OA:rBC across both MBL and FT, underscoring the dependency of optical properties on chemical composition. These findings highlight how the interplay between chemical composition and atmospheric processing can be improved in global and regional climate models. Questions remain on the mixing of aerosols with different pathway histories, and on what accounts for the doubling of the mass absorption coefficient in the boundary layer.
The Geometric Correction Method for zircon (U–Th) ∕ He chronology: correcting systematic error and assigning uncertainties to alpha-ejection corrections and eU concentrations
Authors: Zeigler Spencer D. , Baker Morgan , Metcalf James R. , Flowers Rebecca M.
Published: June 2024

Abstract. The conventional zircon (U–Th) / He (ZHe) method typically uses microscopy measurements of the dated grain together with the assumption that the zircon can be appropriately modeled as a geometrically perfect tetragonal or ellipsoidal prism in the calculation of volume (V), alpha-ejection correction (FT), equivalent spherical radius (RFT), effective uranium concentration (eU), and corrected (U–Th) / He date. Here, we develop a set of corrections for systematic error and determine uncertainties to be used in the calculation of the above parameters for zircon, using the same methodology as Zeigler et al. (2023) for apatite. Our approach involved acquiring both “2D” microscopy measurements and high-resolution “3D” nano-computed tomography (CT) data for a suite of 223 zircon grains from nine samples showcasing a wide range of morphology, size, age, and lithological source, calculating the V, FT, and RFT values for the 2D and 3D measurements and comparing the 2D vs. 3D results. We find that the values derived from the 2D microscopy data overestimate the true 3D V, FT, and RFT values for zircon, with one exception (V of ellipsoidal grains). Correction factors for this misestimation determined by regressing the 3D vs. 2D data range from 0.81–1.04 for V, 0.97–1.0 for FT, and 0.92–0.98 for RFT, depending on zircon geometry. Uncertainties (1σ) derived from the scatter of data around the regression line are 13 %–21 % for V, 5 %–1 % for FT, and 8 % for RFT, again depending on zircon morphologies. Like for apatite, the main control on the magnitude of the corrections and uncertainties is grain geometry, with grain size being a secondary control on FT uncertainty. Propagating these uncertainties into a real dataset (N=28 ZHe analyses) generates 1σ uncertainties of 12 %–21 % in eU and 3 %–7 % in the corrected ZHe date when both analytical and geometric uncertainties are included. Accounting for the geometric corrections and uncertainties is important for appropriately reporting, plotting, and interpreting ZHe data. For both zircon and apatite, the Geometric Correction Method is a practical and straightforward approach for calculating more accurate (U–Th) / He data and for including geometric uncertainty in eU and date uncertainties.
Occlusion handling in spatio-temporal object-based image sequence matching
Authors: Nietiedt Simon , Helmholz Petra , Luhmann Thomas
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Dynamic photogrammetry is an established method for acquiring 3D information of deforming objects or dynamic scenes in various close-range applications. A crucial impact has occlusions caused by object deformations, obstacles or camera movements. Temporal occlusions are highly application-specific and sometimes difficult to predict, resulting in a significant reduction of reconstruction quality or the aborting of image sequence processing. Previous approaches usually model such occlusions as semantic information and consider them using image masks. However, generating these image masks requires complex methods and extensive training data. Due to the unpredictability of the complexity and movements of dynamic scenes, generating training data is challenging in many applications. Therefore, this paper proposes an alternative modelling approach, which can be part of a spatio-temporal matching process. Based on the characteristic high redundancy, occlusions can be detected using robust estimation methods and considered in the optimisation. Therefore, no information about the occlusions and further processing steps are necessary. We evaluate our approach with synthetic and real data of an industrial application regarding the accuracy and ability to detect occlusion simultaneously. The evaluation of the proposed approach shows that the impact of occlusion can be eliminated, and the quality of the results is comparable to conventional methods.
Real-GDSR: Real-World Guided DSM Super-Resolution via Edge-Enhancing Residual Network
Authors: Panangian Daniel , Bittner Ksenia
Published: June 2024

Abstract. A low-resolution digital surface model (DSM) features distinctive attributes impacted by noise, sensor limitations and data acquisition conditions, which failed to be replicated using simple interpolation methods like bicubic. This causes super-resolution models trained on synthetic data does not perform effectively on real ones. Training a model on real low and high resolution DSMs pairs is also a challenge because of the lack of information. On the other hand, the existence of other imaging modalities of the same scene can be used to enrich the information needed for large-scale super-resolution. In this work, we introduce a novel methodology to address the intricacies of real-world DSM super-resolution, named REAL-GDSR, breaking down this ill-posed problem into two steps. The first step involves the utilization of a residual local refinement network. This strategic approach departs from conventional methods that trained to directly predict height values instead of the differences (residuals) and utilize large receptive fields in their networks. The second step introduces a diffusion-based technique that enhances the results on a global scale, with a primary focus on smoothing and edge preservation. Our experiments underscore the effectiveness of the proposed method. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation, comparing it to recent state-of-the-art techniques in the domain of real-world DSM super-resolution (SR). Our approach consistently outperforms these existing methods, as evidenced through qualitative and quantitative assessments.

Authors: Recla Michael , Schmitt Michael
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Rapid mapping demands efficient methods for a fast extraction of information from satellite data while minimizing data requirements. This paper explores the potential of deep learning for the generation of high-resolution urban elevation data from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. In order to mitigate occlusion effects caused by the side-looking nature of SAR remote sensing, two SAR images from opposing aspects are leveraged and processed in an end-to-end deep neural network. The presented approach is the first of its kind to implicitly handle the transition from the SAR-specific slant range geometry to a ground-based mapping geometry within the model architecture. Comparative experiments demonstrate the superiority of the dual-aspect fusion over single-image methods in terms of reconstruction quality and geolocation accuracy. Notably, the model exhibits robust performance across diverse acquisition modes and geometries, showcasing its generalizability and suitability for height mapping applications. The study’s findings underscore the potential of deep learning-driven SAR techniques in generating high-quality urban surface models efficiently and economically.

Published: June 2024

Abstract. Urban Green Space (UGS) is vital for improving the public health and sustainability of cities. Vector data on UGS such as open data from governments and OpenStreetMap are available for retrieval by interested users, but the availability of UGS data is still limited on global and temporal scales. This study develops the UGS Extractor, a web-based application for the automatic extraction of UGS given user inputs of Area of Interest and Date of Interest. To accommodate various types of green spaces, such as parks or lawns, the application additionally allows users to set parameters for the minimum size of each UGS and the Minimum Urban Neighbor Density, enabling customization of what qualifies as UGS. The UGS Extractor implements a methodological framework that applies object-based image processing, edge detection and extraction, and image neighborhood analysis on the near real-time 10m Dynamic World collection of Land Use/Land Cover images. The application’s utility was demonstrated through two case studies. In the first, the UGS Extractor accurately mapped major parks when compared to open data sources in New Orleans, USA. In the second, the UGS Extractor demonstrated significant increases in the total area of UGS from 2015 to 2023 in Songdo, South Korea, which consequently improved green space accessibility. These results underscore the UGS Extractor’s utility in extracting specific types of UGS and analyzing their temporal trends. This user-friendly application overall offers higher spatial resolution compared to publicly available satellite-based methods while facilitating temporal studies not possible with vector datasets.
Depth Supervised Neural Surface Reconstruction from Airborne Imagery

Published: June 2024

Abstract. While originally developed for novel view synthesis, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have recently emerged as an alternative to multi-view stereo (MVS). Triggered by a manifold of research activities, promising results have been gained especially for textureless, transparent, and reflecting surfaces, while such scenarios remain challenging for traditional MVS-based approaches. However, most of these investigations focus on close-range scenarios, with studies for airborne scenarios still missing. For this task, NeRFs face potential difficulties at areas of low image redundancy and weak data evidence, as often found in street canyons, facades or building shadows. Furthermore, training such networks is computationally expensive. Thus, the aim of our work is twofold: First, we investigate the applicability of NeRFs for aerial image blocks representing different characteristics like nadir-only, oblique and high-resolution imagery. Second, during these investigations we demonstrate the benefit of integrating depth priors from tie-point measures, which are provided during presupposed Bundle Block Adjustment. Our work is based on the state-of-the-art framework VolSDF, which models 3D scenes by signed distance functions (SDFs), since this is more applicable for surface reconstruction compared to the standard volumetric representation in vanilla NeRFs. For evaluation, the NeRF-based reconstructions are compared to results of a publicly available benchmark dataset for airborne images.

Stemming is a widely used method in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Its primary purpose is to normalize words with similar meanings but different forms into a common representation by converting them into their basic or root forms. Stemming is typically applied during the data preprocessing stage to enhance the performance of NLP systems. In the context of the Indonesian language, the Nazief stemming algorithm is the most commonly employed. This algorithm has been developed and adapted for various regional languages in Indonesia. In this research, we will assess the performance of the Nazief stemming algorithm on Twitter data from the accounts @wargabanua and @instakalsel. The goal is to evaluate how the algorithm handles text data that includes a mixture of two languages: Indonesian and Banjar. The test results indicate an accuracy rate of 90.34%. This demonstrates that the Nazief stemming algorithm can effectively process social media text data, even though it was not originally designed for the Banjar language.
Water Bottle Filling Conveyor Design Based on Programmable Logic Controller
Authors: Rangkuti Syahban , Firmansyah Eliyana , Anwar Saeful
Published: June 2024

Control systems in industry today are increasingly sophisticated. Many modern factories use automatic equipment control systems, such as the water factory industry, which uses a programmable logic controller (PLC) based control system because its use will be more efficient and more practical. A programmable logic controller device can be used to control mineral water bottle-filling devices by utilizing the input-output (I/O) facilities contained in the device. The input devices on the PLC can be push buttons and infrared sensors, while the PLC output can be actuator components such as DC motors that function as conveyor drivers, solenoid valves and linear solenoids. The system for filling water into bottles is very important in the production of drinking water because it can optimize the final production process. So that when filling bottles, the volume of water corresponds to what is released and does not exceed the capacity of the bottle, automatic filling is needed. Filling water into bottles is done by storing the water in a water tank before the water is put into bottles. This water-filling system is very useful, both in terms of production effectiveness and saving production costs. By using this system, the production process is more effective, more efficient and easier to carry out because filling times are accurate and do not require much human labour, which ultimately results in savings in production costs.

In the last decade, there have been many means of transportation that use fuel oil (Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)). This has a serious impact on the environment due to the resulting pollutant gas emissions. One solution is the use of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) as a replacement for vehicles that use ICE. One of the performances that a HEV must have is to have a stable speed when driving. In this research, several methods used in the metaheuristic algorithm in the disturbance observer have the advantage of describing the inverse model of the plant without creating a mathematical model. Testing was carried out by comparing two methods of metaheuristic algorithms, namely Differential Evolution and Bat Algirthm. The simulation results show that the method used on this HEV is to maintain its speed, so according to the test results it shows that the Differential Evolution method is the best method for controlling speed on a Parallel Hybrid Electic Vehicle.

In general, soil investigation plays an important role in when designing substructures. Soil investigation is commonly used as a reference or basis for foundation designing. Therefore, in foundation designing soil investigation needs to be conducted first to provide appropriate treatments and minimizing the occurrence of failure in the foundation.  This is particularly important especially when unique cases are found such as soil dominated by soft soil and the presence of rock lenses within soil dominated by soft soil. Thus, in this study, the design of substructure is carried out with the case of the presence of rock lens. This research involves various factors for selecting a foundation, including bearing capacity, settlement and lateral deflection. The result of this research finding suggest that using bored pile 70 cm in dimension is considered safe as a foundation in soil containing rock lens.
