Who Works on Campus?
Authors: Burnett Christopher , Taylor Zach
Published: November 2024

On-campus employment is a high-impact practice for student retention, postgraduate success, and employability. This study engaged with twelve years (2007-2019) of student employment data from a large R-1 university to determine who has access to this high-impact practice and explore which types of students become on-campus employees. Aggregate totals suggest juniors and seniors, White students, and women access on-campus employment at far greater levels than men or students of Color. However, intersectional analyses by race and gender suggest students from certain racial and gender groups are consistently over or underrepresented in on-campus student employment. Implications for gender and racial equity in on-campus hiring practices and postgraduate support for students of Color are addressed.
¡Bienvenidos!: Committing to Diversity and Inclusion with College Orientations in Spanish for Parents and Family
Authors: Garcia Nancy , Ramos Salazar Leslie , Correa Priscella
Published: November 2024

Incorporating families in the high school to college transition is important to increase the success rate of first-generation and low-income college students. Traditional institutional programming and student orientation processes often fail to consider the needs of diverse families, especially those whose main language is Spanish. By establishing a Hispanic community that better guides families with no prior experience or exposure to the college experience, Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) can provide stronger support to incoming students and families. We present recommendations for practice from observations during two parent and family college orientation sessions in Spanish at our Texan institution, the feedback from attendees, and our experiences as committee members.
All Swirl Is Not The Same
Authors: Elliott Diane , Hyatt Sally
Published: November 2024

Swirl, or the back-and-forth transfer across multiple colleges, has been the focus of policy-makers, practitioners, and researchers alike because of its empirical connections with retention and degree completion. However, one significant limitation in the existing literature is the treatment of swirl in a dichotomous manner, that is, students swirl or they don’t. Such a perspective ignores differences that exist across the spectrum of swirl, or gradients of swirl intensity. This study specifically explored differences in attendance patterns, student characteristics, and institutional structural factors across degrees of intensity of swirl (students who moderately and significantly swirl). Descriptive and inferential analyses highlighted unique attendance patterns associated with swirl and prevalent differences across degrees of swirl intensity. Implications for practitioners and future research are discussed. With the onset of COVID-19 which has propagated more serial transfer behaviors, a pressing need to more comprehensively understand swirl exists.

Sobre los principios. Los intelectuales caribeños y la tradición
Authors: Díaz Quiñones Arcadio
Published: November 2024

De la guerra del 98 a la Guerra Fría, este libro sobre el Caribe hispano es un recorrido por ciudades e ideas, por intelectuales y debates, en un arco analítico que tipifica las preocupaciones centrales de la nueva historia intelectual en América Latina. A propósito de Nueva York, Martí y Henríquez Ureña, anota Díaz Quiñones que “la memoria de la ciudad funciona por sus omisiones tanto como por sus afirmaciones”. Habría entonces que agregar que este es también un libro sobre la memoria, la practicada por aquellos letrados y la invocada por el propio Díaz Quiñones en sus semblanzas y lecturas. No de otra manera podía ser tratándose del autor de Cintio Vitier: la memoria integradora (1987) y La memoria rota (1993). El lector sale de Sobre los principios con una imagen del Caribe hispano muy ajena a los postulados identificatorios tradicionales. No es la religión, ni la lengua o la raza el elemento aglutinador de la comunidad. Tampoco lo es el alma, el espíritu o la ideología de cualquiera de los nacionalismos de los dos últimos siglos. Son, en todo caso, la guerra y la memoria de sujetos históricos diversos, en su interminable lucha por la representación, las que dotan de un sentido comunitario a la región.
Correlation Between Luteal Phase Serum Progesterone Levels and Pregnancy Outcome in Frozen Embryo Transfer Cycles: A Prospective Cohort Study
Authors: Sachdeva Manika , Nayar Kanad Dev , Singh Sabina , Sethi Ankita , Kant Gaurav , Arora Shweta , Singh Ananya
Published: November 2024

Objectives

To study the correlation between luteal phase serum progesterone (P4) levels and pregnancy outcome in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles and to find out the cut-off level of luteal phase serum P4 which favours successful pregnancy outcome in FET cycles.

Material and Methods

This prospective cohort study included 100 women undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT)-FET cycle at Akanksha IVF Centre from December 2023 to June 2024, fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Serum P4 levels were measured for all the patients in the luteal phase (days 21–23) after FET with intramuscular P4 as luteal phase support. Pregnancy outcome was assessed in terms of implantation rate, biochemical pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), first-trimester miscarriage rate and ongoing pregnancy rate.

Results

The most favourable pregnancy outcomes were observed at serum P4 levels 25.1-35 ng/mL. A statistically significant association was seen between the luteal phase serum P4 levels and implantation rate (36.08%), biochemical pregnancy rate (4%), CPR (52%) and ongoing pregnancy rate (42%). According to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the optimal cut-off value for favourable outcomes was determined to be 22.3 ng/mL. However, the analysis also indicated that the luteal phase serum P4 levels did not reliably predict clinical or ongoing pregnancy.

Conclusion

Larger studies are needed to establish a threshold level of serum P4 in the luteal phase that can differentiate between successful and unsuccessful implantation. However, it is still uncertain whether the issue of unsuccessful implantation can be resolved once it is detected on days 21–23 of the HRT-FET cycle.

Platelet-rich plasma and topical minoxidil 5% in the treatment of severe alopecia areata: Report of two cases
Authors: Todorova Lidiya Nikolova
Published: November 2024

Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune non-scarring hair loss that can affect any hair-baring body area. Corticosteroids are considered first-line treatment, but their long-term use may lead to undesirable side effects. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous product, which includes concentrated platelets that secrete growth factors stimulating hair follicle proliferation. Topical minoxidil has been used for mild cases of AA and other types of alopecia. We report two cases of severe multifocal AA, treated successfully with the combination of topical minoxidil 5% and intralesional PRP. PRP was injected once monthly for a total of six visits. Patients were advised to use 5% topical minoxidil twice daily. Trichoscopy was performed and evaluation of the severity of hair loss was done with Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT). One month after the final PRP procedure, patients showed significant hair regrowth. Further controlled trials with more subjects are needed to validate the reported results.

Published: November 2024

The sustainable exploitation of groundwater must be understood based on an understanding of geology and hydrogeological conditions. Water availability on small islands has limited reserves and is vulnerable to contamination. In addition, groundwater resources are vulnerable to decreasing groundwater levels in high abstraction without good management practices. Mansinam Island is one of the islands administratively located in Doreri Bay – Manokwari Regency for sustainable tourism development, which has an area of 410.97 Ha. The purpose of this research is to determine the condition and potential of groundwater in the Mansinam Island area. The geoelectric method is a technique that is widely used to characterize groundwater resources, which aims to identify the physical parameters of the subsoil and acquire information about its natural properties. The resistivity values obtained from the field measurement are thus interpreted and determined to be further correlated with geological characteristics as well as aquifer characteristics. On 11 geoelectric paths, good results are presented with a measurement depth of 20 – 23m. The northern area of the measurement on Mansinam Island has a resistivity value of 58.6 - 100Ωm for an aquifer layer containing groundwater potential with a groundwater level (MAT) of 12-20m and aquifer thickness of 3-8m. Meanwhile, the southern area of the geoelectric measurement has a resistivity value of 25.5-100Ωm for an aquifer layer containing groundwater potential, with a groundwater level of 6-12m and aquifer thickness of 8-16m. The southern segment of Mansinam Island has better potential for groundwater, with a relatively shallower depth and thicker aquifer than the northern segment.

Authors: Dwi Yuda Wahyu Setya Pambudi  , Amijaya Hendra
Published: November 2024

Natural gas was encountered on PAMSIMAS well drilling in the Jambanan area. Geochemical studies are needed to determine gas genesis in this area. Geochemical studies were carried out using the GC gas composition method on gas samples located at three locations, namely SRG-01, SRG-02, and SRG-03. The three gas samples had a methane content of 47.61 - 87.97mol.%. All three have a low wettability level (0.03-0.05%) which indicates that the gas is very dry. GC-IRMS Method was also used on SRG-01 and SRG-02 gas sample. Those gas samples have δ13C Methane characteristics of -40.7‰ (SRG-01) and -45.6‰ (SRG-02) with δD methane values ​​of -171‰ (SRG-01) and -178‰ (SRG-02). This shows that the gas at those are thermogenic gas and it comes from different levels of maturity, where the gas at SRG-01 is more mature than the gas at SRG-02.
Review: Geological Structure impacts to hydrocarbon potential and active faults in the East Java Basin, Indonesia
Authors: Fahrudin  , Yoga Aribowo
Published: November 2024

Review of the geological structure patterns in the East Java Basin (EJB) to understand the geodynamics has implicated to the hydrocarbon potential and active faults. However, the impact of those structures on hydrocarbon potential and active faults is unclear. This study reviewed structure patterns using surface and subsurface data, GPS, seismicity and tremors in the East Java Basin, Indonesia and Nankai Trough, Japan. In EJB, Indonesia, the tectonic setting is constrained by the Rembang Fault. The north of the Rembang Fault, the pattern exhibits NE-SW structures, while to the south, it shows W-E structures. The results indicate that the upper crust (including ophiolitic basement) has greater density to the north than to the south. Thus, vertical motion of the crust is more dominant than lateral motion to the north of the Rembang Fault. This vertical motion may trigger the reactivation of the Meratus Fault (weak zone or as active fault) located on the northern platform (e.g., the Bawean earthquake on March 22, 2023). Conversely, to the south of the Rembang Fault, there is a significant hydrocarbon potential associated with W-E structures. Those structures could form by subduction and collision tectonic. Similary, tectonic backstop may account for presence of structures in Nankai Trough, Japan.

Published: November 2024

The high intensity of rain can affect mining activities because rainwater will be collected and stored in the area with the lowest elevation. In mining areas that have the lowest elevation point, namely the pit area, this will have an impact on mining activities. The pit area will not be disturbed if water or eroded slopes will enter and be accommodated in well-made drainage and vice versa if drainage is not formed properly, water and mud will be retained and accommodated in the pit area. If the water and mud are left unchecked, the water will overflow and mining will be temporarily halted, affecting the previously planned mining system. In this case, the pit whose water has been pumped out leaves the mud at the bottom of the pit trapped, so action is needed to remove the mud from the pit area and the need for qualified tools according to the existing mud criteria. The mud at PT Makmur Lestari Primatama has an SG criteria of 1.39 (top elevation mud) - 1.5 (bottom elevation mud) with mud grains of 0.005mm to 2mm, it can be concluded that the mud has liquid mud criteria to hard mud. So that the determination of a tool to be able to move mud using a pump, the selection of this pump There are three important parameters: Grain size, Specific Gravity, and also variations in material concentration that must be considered because they can affect the total head or flowrate. The difference between the Slurry pump and the dredger pump is in the pumping process, the dredger pump is able to pump hard mud with the help of a little water while the slurry pump is difficult to pump hard mud because it requires quite a lot of water to pump it. Therefore, a dredger pump is chosen to move the mud in the mining area so that it can pump liquid mud to hard mud, the selection of this dredger pump is based on pump specifications including max capacity 120-200m3/h, solid handling 35mm - 60mm, speed 1180 RPM, and effieciency 46%-51%. The planning analysis of the use of dredger pumps uses the Bernoulli equation and the amount of mud that must be pumped using the USLE method. Based on the results of a series of studies that have been carried out, researchers found that the total potential erosion is 8,574.2 tons/year, the total actual erosion is 7,716.8 tons/year, and the total volume of mud that must be pumped is 5,074.86m3 with a slurry weight of 1,448.2 kg/m3. So the most ideal dredger pump for this purpose is Dragflow HY85A with a capacity of 210m3/h, pumping hours of 16.6 hours / day, pumping duration of 2 days 15 hours and efficiency of 40% using HDPE type 10 inch diameter pipe.

Published: November 2024

Plasmids have a function to regulate the activity of the enzymes involved in the catabolic (synthesis) pathway of antibiotics. This study aimed to examine the effects of high temperature on the amount that local isolates of E. coli 1 and 2, Klebsiella and Bacillus retain their plasmids. Bacteria were isolated and identified using two types of media: MacConkey and nutrient agar and also Gram stain. The genetic loci responsible for the development of an isolate's resistance to antibiotics were identified using a diffraction test. By employing the diffusion discs method, it is possible to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to multiple antibiotics. The results revealed that the responses of the different original isolates to antibiotics, extracts and some compounds varied. Likewise, there was a difference in the response of the isolates exposed to heat in comparison to the original, with the local isolate E. coli 1 exposed to heat showing antibiotic sensitivity (KF, RA, DO, CN, GTX). In conclusion, the original isolate was not susceptible to antibiotics used or natural materials (Lawson plant extract, Adhatoda vasica and tabacum) due to the loss of the plasmid responsible for this isolate's resistance to those materials.

Published: November 2024

One of the main causes of blood transfusion problem including thalassemia, is the hepatitis C virus (HCV). In total, 1125 patients with thalassemia (635 men and 490 women, ages 2-23 years) took part in the trial from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021. Prior to PCR assay, the clinical symptoms, complete blood count (CBC) and particular hemoglobin tests were used to diagnose the thalassemia patients. Three blood transfusions every month were on an average. 1125 patients in total underwent ELISA testing to identify anti-HCV antibody (IgG) in serum. There were 111 (9.8%) Hepatitis C virus infections. In comparison to 2019 and 2021, the year 2020 had the highest numbers of thalassemia patients 400 (36%) and hepatitis C virus infections 41 (36.9%). Hepatitis C virus infected male individuals with thalassemia are more prevalent than female individuals. Compared to married, widowed and divorced states, the single status had the highest rate of hepatitis C virus infection. In comparison to urban residence, the number and percentage of Hepatitis C virus infections were highest in rural areas. To lessen the spread of the virus and eradicate it, we recommend using routine laboratory testing of blood donors and Thalassemia patients and the use of molecular biology tools like the PCR assay in the early diagnosis of the virus.

Published: November 2024

The rise of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella enterica subsp enterica worsened the high rate of occurrence of typhoid fever, particularly in developing nations with inadequate hygienic conditions, medical infrastructure and financial levels. Blood samples were taken from 110 children (36 male and 74 female) who attended Al-Elwya Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq. The isolates were processed and identified based on culturing in MacConkey agar and xylose lysine deoxycholate agar and the diagnosis was confirmed using the Vitek 2 compact system. The antibiotics susceptibility pattern was determined using the disc diffusion method. Out of 110 samples 79 (71.8%) isolates were identified as S. Typhi. Among the tested antibiotics, ceftazidime showed the highest resistance against S. Typhi (84.8%) followed by cefepime (75.9%). The results also revealed that 21 (26.5%) were shown to be MDR and 9 (11.3%) were XDR. Our study concluded that the highest incidence of infection occurs in children aged 4-6 years. We have also found that antibiotics, like meropenem and piperacillin-tazobactam are now effective against S. Typhi. There is a potential possibility of repurposing these antibiotics to treat typhoid in Baghdad.

Authors: Sadiq Jasim Mohammed , Hasan Basima Qasim
Published: November 2024

The FOXO3 transcription factor plays a crucial role in regulating oxidative stress and promoting the growth of erythroid cells during the process of erythropoiesis. The case – control study aims to investigate the correlation between iron overload and the expression of the FOXO3 gene along with the blood concentrations of malondialdehyde protein, a pivotal marker of oxidative stress among individuals diagnosed with beta-thalassemia in Iraq. The present study was carried out using two distinct groups. The beta-thalassemia group consisted of a total of fifty individuals, with 35 being female and 15 being male, age from14 to 40 years. and the control group consisted of fifty individuals, comprising of 37 females and 13 males. During the period from May 2022 to November 2023. Specifically, the recruitment efforts focused on individuals associated with the Ibn Albaladi General Hospital/Thalassemia Centre. All information regarding age, sex, duration of blood transfusion was collected in a specific questionnaire form. The concentration of MDA was quantified using a spectrophotometer while the expression of mRNA was evaluated through a real-time PCR technique. The study involved the assessment of FOXO3 gene expression. In both study groups, the Ct levels of the beta-thalassemia patient group were found to be 22.97±22.86 while the control group exhibited Ct values of 7.63±13.38. The 2-ΔΔCt values for the patient group with beta-thalassemia and the control group were 22.97 and 7.63 respectively. A statistically significant alteration in gene expression was observed between the two groups, with a p-value of less than or equal to 0.05. The concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) demonstrated statistical significance (P≤0.05). The findings of this study indicate that individuals with β-thalassemia exhibit a notable downregulation of the FOXO3 gene compared to control individual. Moreover, individuals with β-thalassemia exhibit significantly higher levels of oxidative stress and malondialdehyde (MDA) in comparison to the control group.
Langue première et inclusion socio-professionnelle : quelle place pour l’écrit dans les pratiques auprès d’élèves avec troubles du spectre « dys » et de l’attention ?
Authors: LACHAUD Marie-Hélène
Published: November 2024

Au travail comme en formation, les usages de l’écrit sont incontournables et les troubles d’apprentissage du spectre « dys » et de l’attention présentent des difficultés en lecture comme en écriture. La recherche présentée dans cet article est réalisée en France, dans une classe prépa-apprentissage destinée à des élèves atteints de troubles du spectre « dys » et de l’attention. Le but est de mieux comprendre les propositions didactiques sous l’angle de la langue première et de l’inclusion sociale et professionnelle. L’hypothèse est qu’un trio « sens, confiance et créativité », fil d’Ariane des pratiques pédagogiques, favoriserait l’engagement des élèves avec troubles des apprentissages « dys » dans leurs apprentissages tout en prenant davantage en compte leurs acquis littéraciques. L’analyse des discours des intervenantes met en relief l’écart entre la perception qu’elles ont du rapport à l’écrit des élèves et les pratiques personnelles de ces derniers. Ces pratiques permettent de décrire des stratégies et procédures efficaces en lecture comme en écriture.
Les discussions lexicales en contexte d’oral réflexif : un moyen de réduire les disparités entre les élèves à risque et leurs pairs ?
Authors: SAUVAGEAU Claudine , ANCTIL Dominic
Published: November 2024

Dans une perspective préventive visant à réduire les disparités lexicales entre élèves du primaire, nous avons mené une étude basée sur l’enseignement direct du vocabulaire (explication par l’enseignante de mots rencontrés en lecture, suivie d’activités de consolidation). Notre démarche méthodologique visait à comparer les apprentissages lexicaux des élèves selon diverses variables (approche de consolidation des mots, profil des élèves, type d’étayage fourni par l’enseignante). Nos résultats, issus de données quantitatives (pré/posttests) et qualitatives (journaux de bord, entretiens, vidéos) démontrent qu’une approche de consolidation des mots en oral réflexif se révèle significativement favorable en ce qui a trait à la capacité des élèves, indépendamment de leur profil, à rappeler à l’oral le sens des mots ciblés ainsi qu’à récupérer en mémoire leur forme orale. Ils ne permettent toutefois pas de conclure que l’étayage soutenu offert aux élèves à risque a contribué à réduire l’écart lexical entre ceux-ci et leurs pairs non à risque.
Pour une didactique de l’inclusivité en classe de FLE par la littérature : entre universel et singularités
Authors: PRUNET Anne , JENSEN Clémence
Published: November 2024

La littérature peut offrir un large éventail de possibilités d’inclusion en classe de français langue maternelle, et plus encore en classe de français langue étrangère (FLE), notamment dans le cadre de l’enseignement-apprentissage à des apprenants réfugiés. En effet, le texte littéraire, par ses caractéristiques d’universalité, de polysémie et d’altérité, permet d’aborder une didactique de la subjectivité médiée par un enseignant garant de l’exégèse du texte. En outre, par le motif du récit migratoire, la littérature met en abîme une double altérité qui permet une meilleure identification des apprenants allophones ayant tous été en butte à un choc culturel. Enfin, la littérature est un genre particulièrement désigné pour l’acquisition de la compétence culturelle dont nul ne conteste la place dans la classe de FLE désormais. Enfin, par l’écriture créative empruntant aux genres fictionnels, la littérature, pour des apprenants allophones et surtout migrants, permet une appropriation de leur itinéraire, condition à une meilleure inclusion dans la société d’accueil.

The identification of key materials’ parameters that correlate with the catalytic performance can accelerate the development of improved heterogeneous catalysts and unveil the relevant underlying physical processes. However, the analysis of correlations is often hindered by inconsistent data. Besides, nontrivial, yet unknown relationships may be important, and the intricacy of the various processes may be significant. Here, we tackle these challenges for the CO oxidation reaction catalyzed by perovskites via a combination of rigorous experiments and artificial intelligence (AI). A series of 13 ABO3 (A = La, Pr, Nd, Sm; B = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co) perovskites was synthesized, characterized, and tested in catalysis. To the resulting dataset, we applied the symbolic-regression SISSO approach. We identified an analytical expression as a descriptor for the activity that contains, as key materials’ parameters, the normalized unit cell volume, the Pauling electronegativity of the elements A and B, and the ionization energy of the element B. Therefore, the activity is described by crystallographic distortions and by the chemical nature of A and B elements. The generalizability of the identified descriptor is confirmed by the good overall quality of the predictions for the activity of 3 additional ABO3 and of 16 chemically more complex AMn(1-x)B’xO3 (A = La, Pr, Nd; B’ = Fe, Co Ni Cu, Zn) perovskites. These AMn(1-x)B’xO3 materials contain substitutions of Mn at the B sites as well as chemical elements that were not part of the training set (Ni, Cu, Zn).

Published: November 2024

Aqueous deep eutectic electrolytes (DEEs) offer great potential for low-cost zinc-ion batteries but often have limited performance. Discovering new electrolytes is, therefore, crucial, yet time-consuming. To address this, this work presents a Large Language Model (LLM)-based multi-agent network that proposes DEE compositions for zinc-ion batteries. Analyzing academic papers from the DEE field, the network identified innovative, inexpensive, and sustainable Lewis bases to pair with Zn(BF4)2.xH2O. A Zn(BF4)2.xH2O-ethylene carbonate (EC) system demonstrated high conductivity (10.6 mS cm-1) and a wide electrochemical stability window (2.37 V). The optimized electrolyte enabled stable zinc stripping/plating, achieved outstanding rate performance (81 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1), and supported 4000 cycles in Zn||polyaniline cells at 3 A g-1. Spectroscopic analyses and simulations revealed that EC coordinates to Zn2+, mitigating water-induced corrosion, while a fluorine-rich hybrid organic/inorganic solid electrolyte interphase enhances cycling stability. This work showcases a pioneering LLM-driven approach to electrolyte development, establishing a new paradigm in materials research.

Rotator phases are rotationally disordered yet crystalline stable states found in many materials. The presence of a rotator phase leads to unique properties that influence processing methods and offer potential applications in areas such as thermal energy storage, lubrication, and sensing. Recently, a novel family of chemically recyclable oligomers, (1,n’-divinyl)oligocyclobutane (DVOCB($n$)), has shown evidence of rotator phases. This study combines experimental characterization and molecular dynamics simulations to confirm the presence of and elucidate rotator phases in DVOCB($n$), with comparison to well-studied n-alkanes. In DVOCB($n$), the crystal-to-rotator phase transition involves a shift from stretched to isotropic hexagonal lamellar packing, captured by a rotational order parameter tracking local chain orientations orthogonal to the chain axis. Furthermore, rotational relaxation times decrease gradually upon heating, including through the transition to a rotator phase. This contrasts with n-alkanes, for which relaxation times are relatively constant and longer in the crystal phase before dropping sharply during the crystal-to-rotator phase transition. Such behavior is attributed to the unique enchained-ring architecture of DVOCB($n$), which allows for semi-independent rotation of chain segments that promotes overall rotational disorder. This work provides a fundamental understanding of rotator phases in DVOCB($n$) and highlights differences from conventional materials. The analyses and insights herein will inform future studies and applications of DVOCB($n$), as well as other materials with rotator phases.

Image spam is a kind of E-mail spam where the message text of the spam is presented as a picture in an image file. The basic rationale behind image spam is difficult to detect using text spam filtering methods which is designed to detect patterns in text in the plain-text E-mail body or attachments. A new trend in email spam is the emergence of image spam. The most previous works of image spam detection focused on filtering the image spam on the client side. This proposed system considered more desirable comprehensive solution which embraces the both server side filtering and client side detection methods. The spectral clustering algorithm is introduced to similarity measure for cluster analysis of spam images to filter the attack activities of spammers and fast trace back the spam sources. The active learning algorithm is limited where the learner guides the users to label as few images as possible while maximizing the classification accuracy.

Being and Becoming of Music: Limits of Thought and Practice
Authors: Vasilijevic Nikola
Published: November 2024

According to musicologist Christopher Small, the treatment of music in musicology carries fundamentally flawed historical premises. Instead of focusing on music through art „objects“, anything understood as „music“ should be examined on the grounds of its spatiotemporal appearance, as a social activity of musicking and the unfolding event. The emphasis of the verb „musicking“ instead of the substantive „music“ signifies a reinterpretation of a static into a processual concept. According to Small, musical meaning is formed with regards to the time and space of the immersive situation and the bodily encounter of participating individuals. This processual intervention over existing musical concepts through reinterpretation as „musicking“ opens the door to a broader philosophical scope. In order to approach two seemingly opposed interpretations of the subject matter mentioned above, I will attempt a reinterpretation of Small with reference to Arthur Schopenhauer’s concept of the „Will“, but with a more detailed emphasis on the expanded principle of the „Dyonisian“ and „Apollonian“ as suggested by Friedrich Nietzsche. I will further suggest some criteria for interpretation of any potential „musicking“ through several points of contention between Small’s musicology and Nietzsche’s philosophy. For this, I will utilize Nietzsche’s philosophical opposition between Being and Becoming serving as foundations of knowledge and art. The suggestion is that, while the entanglement of the Apollonian „image“ and the Dyonisian „rush“ enables the emergence of music as art, the foundation of Small’s „musicking“ lies in the non-ethical character of the Dyonisian—in what lies „behind“ the phenomenon and conceptualization of it. This ultimately questions the implication of music „as“ art, as it suggests that any justification thereof can not be considered outside of the subjective disposition encountering the event, nor beyond the individual disposition emerging within it. „Musicking“ doesn’t emerge with any cultural, social, symbolic or teleological purpose, but attains any one of these as soon as it’s designated „as-such“ by those principles that enable the concept to emerge in the first place. This, despite its broadly influential treatise, ultimately reveals the limits of Small’s „musicking“.

Published: November 2024

Although smartphones and other mobile technologies are acknowledged as versatile and potent tools that, when used wisely, can improve human cognition, there is also a growing concern that routine use of these devices may have a detrimental and long-lasting effect on children's cognitive ability. The scientific literature is not yet mature enough to support any clear findings in the areas of potential cognitive repercussions of smartphone-related behaviors and cognitive performance, which is the focus of the current review, which is intensifying but still restricted. Our study focuses largely on cognition that is implicated in the public conversation on the effects of smartphone use, and we then take into account data about the wider connections between smartphone usage patterns and regular cognitive performance. After collecting data from various databases 16 studies found to be eligible.

Published: November 2024

In this work, we propose a method for the classification of animal in images. Initially, a region merging segmentation method is used to perform segmentation in order to eliminate the background from the given image. From segmented animal images, the shape, texture and color features are extracted.  Deep learning with Convolution Network and Support vector is considered for classification. To corroborate the efficacy of the proposed method, an experiment was conducted on our own data set of 30 classes of animals, which consisted of 600 sample images. The experiment was conducted by picking images randomly from the database to study the effect of classification accuracy, and the results show that the Deep Learning classifier achieves good performance.
Evidence-based nursing: Blending the art and science
Authors: Carter-Snell Cathy
Published: November 2024

In this introductory article in the research section, an overview is provided of evidence-based practice and its potential value to emergency nurses. Nursing has been described as consisting of both art and science. This definition of science in nursing has caused some controversy in relation to evidence-based practice. Some view science in the traditional natural science view in which only randomized controlled trials count as evidence. This leaves out a substantial portion of research findings in nursing which contribute significantly to health care and best practices. In this article, the concept of evidence-based practice is explored and related to the art and science of nursing. Strategies to increase evidence-based practice are then suggested.
Poem: The Unheard Voices of Angels
Authors: Boileau Coralee
Published: November 2024

This poem was written when I worked on the infant unit after I had cared for two palliative care infants. I watched them slowly deteriorate and their families suffer, and it made me wonder what they would say if they could express their love for their parents, to ease the pain of the whole family unit.
I have been nursing since 1999. I began my career as an RPN. I worked for one year on a pediatric surgical unit at CHEO, followed by two years on an infant medicine unit. I then went back to school to become an RN and have worked in the emergency department at CHEO for one year.
I love the little rewards the most about pediatric nursing. No matter how hard the day is, or how traumatic the illness or injury, in emergency there is always a smile or a hug from the resilience of children that make all the hardships so very worthwhile.

Published: November 2024

Relevance: due to the widespread prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome and associated fatty liver disease, as well as due to the lack of an integrated approach to diagnosing the components of metabolically associated fatty liver disease, it is necessary to search for the possibility of early diagnosis already at the level of the admission department of a multidisciplinary hospital. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of the checklist used in the distribution of patients into risk groups for metabolically associated fatty liver disease in tne hospital admissions department. Materials and methods: in 2019 - 2022 the study was conducted of patients with overweight or obesity (n=74) according to anthropometric data, admitted for treatment to a multidisciplinary hospital in the following profiles: gastroenterology, cardiology, surgery, pulmonology, of which 41 women (55.4%), 33 men (44.6%), mean age 42±4.2 years. For the distribution of patients into groups, taking into account the risk factor for the occurrence of metabolically associated fatty liver disease, a checklist developed for this study with a score and quantitative ultrasound steatometry of the liver was used. Results and Discussion: correlation of quantitative ultrasound steatometry data with a comprehensive assessment of the presence of metabolic syndrome according to the checklist corresponds to r=0.85 (in the 1st group of patients); r=0.76 (in the 2nd group of patients); r=0.89 (in the 3rd group patients). In the control group 1, patients of the admission department with normal body weight (number of points according to the checklist no more than 2) were examined - liver steatosis without signs of inflammatory activity and liver fibrosis was detected in 7 patients (15.9%). Conclusions: the use of a checklist by paramedical staff for assigning patients to risk groups for metabolically associated fatty liver disease can reduce the time to detect the disease at an early stage, as well as reduce the time to detect the disease at an early stage, as well as reduce excessive unreasonable workload on ultrasound and radiation diagnostics units.
