In recent years, the amount of data created worldwide has grown exponentially. The increase in computational complexity when working with "Big data" leads to the need to develop new approaches for their clustering. The problem of massive data amounts clustering can be solved using parallel processing. Dividing the data into batches helps to perform clustering in a reasonable time. In this case, the reliability of the obtained result for each block will affect the performance of the entire dataset. The main idea of the proposed approach is to apply the k-medoids and k-means algorithms to parallel Big data clustering. The advantage of this hybrid approach is that it is based on the central object in the cluster and is less sensitive to outliers than k-means clustering. Experiments are conducted on real datasets, namely YearPredictionMSD and Phone Accelerometer. The proposed approach is compared with the k-means and MiniBatch k-means algorithms. Experimental results proved that the proposed parallel implementation of k-medoids with the k-means algorithm shows greater accuracy and works faster than the k-means algorithm.

Authors:   FHNW, Institute for Information Systems, Switzerland ETH Zurich, Chair for Philosophy, Switzerland, Christen Patrik
Published: March 2024

Having a model and being able to implement open-ended evolutionary systems is important for advancing our understanding of open-endedness. Complex systems science and the newest generation high-level programming languages provide intriguing possibilities to do so. Here, some recent advances in modeling and implementing open-ended evolutionary systems are reviewed (an earlier and shorter version was presented at [1]). Then, the so-called allagmatic method is introduced as a computational framework that describes, models, implements and allows interpreting complex systems using system metamodeling. Based on recent advances, the model building blocks evolving entities, entity lifetime parameter, co-evolutionary operations of entities and environment and combinatorial interactions are identified to characterize open-ended evolutionary systems. They are formalized within the system metamodel, providing a formal description of an open-ended evolutionary system. The study further provides a self-modifying code prototype in C# and guidance to create code blocks for an intrinsic implementation of open-ended evolutionary systems. This is achieved by controlling the self-modification of program code within the abstractly defined building blocks of the system metamodel. It is concluded that the identified model building blocks and the proposed self-modifying code provide a promising starting point to model and implement open-endedness in a computational system that potentially allows us to interpret novelties at runtime.

A Siberian Pupil of “Anna Akhmatova’s Readers School”
Authors:   The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel, Timenchik Roman D.
Published: March 2024

A totally forgotten feuilleton placed in Tomsk newspaper in 1916 is reproduced with a historical commentary. It belonged to a pen of art expert Tatiana Sapozhnikova-Chernavina (1887– 1971) and was never mentioned in any of numerous bibliographic lists on Anna Akhmatova’s creative works. She is known as brave fugitive female for her heroic escapade from USSR in 1932 together with her husband, a prominent fishery biologist, and little son. Her early works as a literary observer are worth to be included in contemporary circularization (e.g. an essay on Ilya Ehrenburg’s poetry et al.). The article “Modern Poetesses: Anna Akmatova” was an attempt to reconstruct the net of motifs spanning the poems of the book “Rosary” (1914). The foreword to the annotated republication points some relevant patterns of the literary attitude of Sapozhnikova-Chernavina as well as lists some of the main milestones of her biography including the episodes when she is represented as an eyewitness of swiftpassing but meaningful tragic moments in the history of Russian poetry under Soviets. A question is raised about picking up her scattered literary heritage.

Iron Deficiency Anemia Pruritus: A Review with Proposed Mechanisms of Action
Authors: Nguyen Christopher , Li Monica
Published: March 2024

Chronic generalized pruritus without a primary skin lesion presents a dilemma for clinicians. A minority can be attributed to systemic diseases. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) presents one such poorly defined cause. We comprehensively review the literature to support IDA pruritus as a valid etiology in the patient with chronic, generalized pruritus. Several studies and case reports describe the association of pruritus and IDA, and more importantly, resolution of the pruritus upon iron supplementation, strongly suggesting IDA as the primary etiology. Thus, we recommend obtaining a CBC and iron studies in all cases of chronic generalized pruritus without a primary lesion.
Based on currently available evidence, we also present novel mechanisms of actions in which iron deficiency may precipitate pruritus that have not been proposed in the literature. Iron deficiency may precipitate pruritus at the level of the skin through decreased skin thickness, elasticity, or barrier function, thereby promoting xerosis. Iron deficiency may also cause neurologic pruritus from damage, compression, or irritation of nerves. The levels of known chemical mediators of itch, such as serotonin, opioids, and neurotrophins, are also affected by iron homeostasis. IDA pruritus likely manifests from a complex interplay of multiple proposed pathways.

The Cancer Registry is a database created for collecting, managing, and storing information about people with cancer. Collaborative research, preventive, and treatment initiatives benefit nations with cancer registries. Several Asian countries have recently made their cancer registries. It is done by a designated Organization, such as the National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP) in India and National Cancer Registry (CNCR) in China. Both countries decentralized their programs in different parts of their country. Bangladesh’s National Cancer Registry has not yet been established due to a lack of government policy, fund allocation, trained manpower, workforce, awareness, and readiness among health professionals.

Authors:   Department of Chemistry, Nelson Mandela University, Summerstrand, Gqeberha, South Africa, S Gouws
Published: March 2024

Process simulation has become an important tool in training chemical engineers, operators in the chemical and industry sectors. Although various process simulation tools are available, in this study the software from Simulation Solutions. Inc. was used. This dual screen approach for student training consists of outside field operation view with interacting digital equipment and with the 2nd screen, the students can be in the control room environment changing input values. This provides the students with training in both control room adjustments of the plant and field operations adjustments. Students are supplied with a student manual that consist of Pipe and Instrument Diagrams (P&ID), standard operating procedures and troubleshooting exercises which they can follow. This article will discuss how these students benefit from process simulation training and how “What- ifs” can be used to pinpoint a potential problem. Once a problem has been identified then through simulation, the students will implement a corrective plan to successfully mitigate the risk. The feedbacks from the students suggest they have thoroughly enjoyed the interaction with the process simulation software and the “What-if” scenarios to identify the problem and use various resources to mitigate the problem. They learn how to implement strategies, solve the problem successfully and continue with the production process.

Mild Steel (MS) is considered as the most widely employed engineering material, which is primarily being used in an automotive industry. Several parts including fuel system, outer and body panel, trims, chassis exhaust, along with many other parts are made up of MS. The driving force behind versatility of MS is its unique set of characteristics. However, the issues arise when its tribological degradation occur that creating problems in service conditions. The best solution for this problem is to coat the mild steel with transition metal-based nitride coatings such as, Ni and Cr. Insufficient Literature is available related to the mechanical performance of single/gradient layer (Ni, Cr) N ternary coating on mild steel substrate. Current review focuses on the characteristics of the coatings that are deposited through two different deposition techniques; electrodeposition and magnetron sputtering. The studied coatings materials are nitrides of nickel and chromium, deposited in several layers. Furthermore, the structural and mechanical properties of these coatings have been compared.

Published: March 2024

Between coronary artery anomalies, myocardial bridging means an epicardial coronary artery, mostly Left Anterior Descending artery (LAD), running through intramyocardial “tunnel” (usually in the middle segment), leading during systolic contraction, flow reduction, through the vessel. When this anomaly is associated with a coronary fistula, who “steal” more from the bloodstream, the symptoms are more pronounced and the management complex, surgical in particular. Despite the presence from birth remains a symptomatic and it becomes clinically manifest later in the third to fourth decade of the life, with a diverse palette of symptoms; angina, arrhythmias, acute myocardial infarction up to sudden death. Diagnosis and particular management, medical, interventional and surgical should avoid major cardiac complications and sudden death. We present two adult patients, with coronary artery bridging, one case associated with coronary artery fistula, LAD to pulmonary artery trunk, very symptomatic with surgical management and the second only myocardial bridging controlled with medication and supervision.

Some patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) may experience manifestations in sites other than the gastrointestinal tract. Those Extraintestinal Manifestations (EIMs) may have special treatment projections for those patients. Relapsing Polychondritis (RPC) is a rare auto inflammatory disease that can involve any cartilage tissue of the body, most commonly the cartilages of the ear, nose and eyes but can also affect major airways and the heart. While some cases take more of a benign course with mild to moderate symptoms, some patients will experience devastating debilitating symptoms and even death. Little is known about the pathogenesis of the disease and there are no guidelines for treatment, although immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory treatment had been described in the literature. In this case series we describe the history of 4 patients with a diagnosis of both RPC and IBD, suggesting a connection between the diseases and the hypothesis that polycondritis is a form of EIM. Acknowledging this may lead to more cases being revealed and to better understanding and more effective treatments.

We discuss the case of a 26-year-old woman who presented with pelvic pain and recent onset vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy. Transvaginal USS identified significant free fluid in the pelvis associated with a right adnexal mass and an empty uterus. A ruptured ectopic pregnancy was suspected, and the patient was taken to theatre for an emergency laparoscopy. Paradoxically, the procedure found no signs of intra-abdominal blood loss. Instead, a large, unruptured 20cm ovarian cyst filled the right adnexa and Pouch Of Douglas (POD), extending posteriorly towards the pelvic brim. It was a right Ovarian, Dermoid cyst. Surprisingly, the dilemma is not unique. We identified similar reports in the literature where unsuspected ovarian pathology is discovered at the time of early pregnancy surveillance, often masquerading as an acute complication of early pregnancy. In this report, the patient went on to have a spontaneous miscarriage, and the cyst was later removed by mini- laparotomy. We present this case as an opportunity to highlight the epidemiology of adnexal pathology presenting for the first time in early pregnancy and to help broaden clinical suspicion when considering potential diagnoses at the time of presentation.

Purpose: To describe the presentation and the management of valsalva retinopathy during pregnancy. Case Report: A case of 30 years-old pregnant female with 36 weeks of gestation, presented with history of a sudden decrease in vision in her right eye during the labor. A clinical diagnosis of valsalva retinopathy was made based on clinical findings, laboratory test and imaging studies. Her right visual acuity had spontaneously increased with no active medical intervention. Conclusion: Pregnancy is known to be a risk factor for valsalva retinopathy, and it should be considered in any pregnant woman who presents with sudden onset of painless vision loss preceding the onset of exertion.

Hemodialysis is a process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidney is not working normally. Little is known about the nurses’ knowledge and associated factors while caring for patients undergoing hemodialysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate knowledge and associated factors of hemodialysis among nurses. Methods: Institution based cross-sectional survey design was conducted among dialysis care provider nurses. A total of 62 nurses giving hemodialysis care were included. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0 software in logistic regression model. Descriptive statistics were expressed as percentage and frequency. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to measure factors associated with the outcome variable considering P<0.05 to declare statistical significance. Result: Among the 62 nurses enrolled, about 70% were knowledgeable regarding hemodialysis. Nurses experience in working dialysis [AOR: 10.18 95% CI: 2.18, 47.40)], training of nurses (AOR=5 95% CI: 1.12-22.20) were significantly associated with the knowledge of nurses regarding hemodialysis care. Conclusion: In this study we found that nurses experience working in hemodialysis and years of work experience were factors affecting their knowledge towards hemodialysis service. Thus, interventions should focus on improving experience and training of nurses regarding hemodialysis care to improve the compressive knowledge of nurses.
