An Image Segmentation for Different Medical Image Modalities using Wavelet Transform Technique
Authors: Rinisha Bagaria  , Sulochana Wadhwani  , A. K. Wadhwani
Published: March 2023

Image Segmentation techniques are emerging every day in the medical environment. To retain the details of the medical images and obtain the suitable image segmentation method for considered medical image modalities, an image segmentation system based on the Wavelet Transform to decompose at an appropriate level is proposed in this paper. The detailed information of horizontal, vertical and diagonal direction was obtained with the decomposition of images based on the wavelet transform technique. The suggested technique has obvious benefits among the four image quality indexes: sensitivity to noise ratio, peak sensitivity to noise ratio, structure similarity, and entropy, especially for X-ray image segmentation. The method will provide a new ground for further scope in this research work to better understand the image segmentation techniques for medical images.
An Analysis of Food Creation

Published: March 2023

The freeform of cultivation is also known as “farming”. Scientists, inventors, and others committed to civilizing farming methods and equipment are also said to be occupied in cultivation. 1 in 3 people worldwide are engaged in cultivation, yet it only contributes 3% to global GDP. In 2017, on average, agriculture contributes 4% of national GDPs. Global agricultural production is answerable for between 14 and 28% of inclusive orangery gas emission, making it one of the major contributors to global warming, in large part due to square farming practices, including nitrogen fertilizers and poor land organization. Food processing includes the methods and techniques used to change raw ingredient into food for human utilization. Food processing takes clean, harvest or slaughtered and butchered components and uses them to make marketable food foodstuffs. There are some dissimilar ways in which food can be fashioned.

Published: March 2023

The purpose of the article is a theoretical and methodological substantiation together with elaboration of recommendations for increasing the capitalization of the domestic securities market. The article is concerned with studying the level of development of the securities market and the directions of increasing its capitalization, which will provide favorable conditions for the formation of an appropriate level of economic development of the country. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the concept of «capitalization» is interpreted as a complex dynamic process of forming prospects for the development of the Ukrainian economy, which varies depending on the outlined tasks. It is identified that the capitalization of the stock market testifies to the intensity of the national economy and reflects the dynamics of changes in its various industries. The development tendency of the world stock market is analyzed and the experience of world leading companies with the highest level of market capitalization is adapted. The volumes and structure of trading on operators of organized capital markets by type of market are considered and the main obstacles to the further development of the Ukrainian stock market are substantiated. The need to integrate the domestic securities market into the world stock market is accentuated. Based on the carried out correlation analysis, it is found that the closest relationship between the volume of trading in shares on the Ukrainian securities market and the aforementioned factors occurs with the total trading volume in the securities market, namely: the more transactions are carried out on the market, the higher the volume of transactions with shares. It is noted that the domestic securities market in order to improve the efficiency of further functioning requires: improvement of the legislative framework; increasing the level of motivation; minimization of financial risks; improving infrastructure development, etc. Further research will be aimed at developing promising directions for the integration of the domestic stock market into the global financial space.
Unity of Credit Risk as Creditor’s Risk and Borrower’s Risk: The Past and the Approach of Present-Day
Authors:   Polissia National University, Shubenko Inna A.
Published: March 2023

The main suppliers of credit resources to the today’s market are commercial banks, which for a long time act as the main creditors of both legal entities and individuals. The formation of credit relations occurs in the external environment, which can give rise to completely new risks that the developed credit market has not previously faced. The purpose of the study is to complement the essence of credit risk and consider it not only from the standpoint of the lender, but also the borrower, as well as outline methods for managing it. The main research methods in this publication are methods of scientific abstraction, induction and deduction for a comprehensive consideration of credit risk on the part of both the borrower and the lender; some provisions of the study are supplemented by the method of economic analysis. As a result, it is determined that credit risk is not only a risk of a banking institution, but also a risk of an enterprise, institution, individual who has borrowed a certain amount of funds from a financial institution and has an obligation to repay not only the principal amount of the debt, but also interest for using the borrowed value. It is found that credit risk should be considered as a unity of two concepts: creditor’s risk and borrower’s risk. After all, the borrower as a participant in the credit agreement is significantly influenced by the external environment, which must be taken into account when obtaining a loan. It is determined that in accordance with modern political and economic conditions, a closed system of protection against credit risk should be formed, first of all at the level of the borrower, then at the State level. It has been examined that at the creditor level, banking institutions have a wide range of methods to minimize this risk, while the borrower’s protection against credit risk is just beginning to take shape. Further research in the field of credit risk management of the borrower will concern an in-depth study of the methods of its management and improvement of methods of credit risk management at the State level.

Published: March 2023

The article provides an in-depth diagnosis of the development of risk management of telecommunications enterprises, taking into account the existing level of organization of risk management and the level of the enterprises’ economic stability in the context of digitalization of business processes. Thus, the imperatives for diagnosing the efficiency of risk management development are substantiated; a typology of clusters of telecommunication enterprises has been formed to determine the level of development of risk management; a system of indicators for assessing the level of organization of risk management of telecommunication enterprises and for determining the level of economic stability of the enterprise, taking into account risk factors, is proposed. Based on the proposed scientific-methodological approach, the coefficients of efficiency of risk management development are calculated and the level of efficiency is determined. It is found that the leading telecommunication enterprises of Ukraine, namely, PJSC «Kyivstar», PJSC «VF Ukraine», LLC «lifesell» and PJSC «Ukrtelecom» have a fairly high (above average or average) level of risk management development. The highest level of risk management development and the least «radical» focus of changes in risk management strategy is provided by Kyivstar PJSC. This enterprise has a progressive level of organization of risk management and the highest level of economic stability among the studied enterprises. PJSC «VF Ukraine» (2nd place after PJSC «Kyivstar») and LLC «lifesell» (respectively – 3rd place) have a sufficiently high (on the scale of «above average») level of risk management development. It is determined that at the present stage these enterprises have a standard, with elements of progressive, level of development of risk management and are sufficiently prepared for the use of innovative risk reduction mechanisms.

The purpose of the article is to identify and substantiate the risks in the global energy market, which limit the further development of the circular economy model in the leading countries of the world. The relevance of introducing a circular model of the economy due to aggravation of environmental crises, lack of natural resources to ensure sustainable development of economies is explained. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an additional round of interest in the introduction of a circular model of the economy. Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine has led to significant transformations in world markets, primarily the energy market, which will have long-term consequences for the global economy. Countries in today’s conditions are facing the problem of finding the best option for ensuring energy security and «green» development. One of these negative consequences is the emergence of risks for the further development of the circular model of the economy. The energy market is one of the backbone for the effective functioning of the world economy, so the current turbulence of the energy market poses significant threats. The actual factors of influence are analyzed; the key risks for the development of a circular model of the economy are systematized. It is determined that the current instability of the energy market has necessitated an increase in ESG investments, the aggravation of the confrontation between key actors in international relations leads to an increase in military spending in the budgets of countries. This situation increases the urgency of improving the mechanism of the State regulation of the economy, balancing instruments in order to reduce the growing number of global challenges. As a result of the study, the directions of the State regulation aimed at minimizing the risks for the development of a circular model of the economy caused by russia’s military aggression against Ukraine are identified. It is substantiated that the circular model of the economy will contribute to the more efficient use of resources, ensure sustainable development, increase the level of ecological safety.

Nations, Shadow Borders, and the Production of Gender in the Present
Authors: Allison Noah
Published: March 2023

How do borders, real and imagined, influence conceptions of gender? This paper answers this question by analyzing written materials produced by The Outlaw Ocean Project, namely “The Secret Prison that Keeps Migrants Out of Europe.” This is achieved by making sense of how bordering tactics impact people fleeing their homes in Africa on their dangerous journey to Europe. In doing so, it engages an intersectionality lens when analyzing the processes and consequences of externalized border technologies that emerge from laws, surveillance, and ransoms. Finally, this paper adds new perspectives to migration and border scholarship by specifying how African border-making are places and processes that reproduce gender.
Córregos urbanos são importantes contribuintes de gases de efeito estufa?
Authors: Paula Josiane Santos Batista Carioca de , Lázaro Wilkinson Lopes , Muniz Claumir Cesar , Oliveira Junior Ernandes Sobreira
Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a emissão de gases de efeito estufa por meio do fluxo difusivo de CO2 na interface água–atmosfera de quatro córregos urbanos, que desaguam em um dos principais rios do Pantanal (rio Paraguai). Para tal, usamos uma câmara flutuante sobre macrófitas aquáticas e em leito aberto, considerando o fluxo (emissão e/ou absorção) de CO2. As coletas foram realizadas nas estações de chuva (fevereiro) e estiagem (setembro) do Pantanal. Durante o período de chuvas, os córregos apresentaram entre 5 e 40 % de cobertura vegetal, enquanto na estiagem foi de 80 a 100 %. O período chuvoso apresentou uma emissão de cerca de duas vezes maior que no período estiagem (5.180,64 ± 8.196,20 mg m-2 d-1 e 2.654,92 ± 7.190,64 mg m-2 d-1, respectivamente). Somente em um dos córregos analisados, não foi possível encontrar absorção de CO2 por macrófitas, enquanto os outros três apresentaram absorção por esses vegetais. Esses ambientes são bastante negligenciados, entretanto, em ambientes tropicais demonstram possuir um papel importante como contribuintes para a redução de gases de efeito estufa podendo auxiliar no estoque de carbono e ciclagem de nutrientes. Nestes locais, as macrófitas aquáticas são importantes para a redução de CO2 podendo ser mais bem exploradas para o paisagismo e como fonte de redução de carbono atmosférico.

Throughout the pandemic, all levels of society still want to continue to carry out their normal lives and activities. Including in carrying out life as individuals and in society. An example of this is community service activities that have a positive impact on the dynamics of community life. Community service is also an activity that fosters self-awareness of one’s surroundings. This self-awareness allows people to pay more attention, as a symbol of humanity. Humanity itself is an essential nature of humans that distinguishes them from other creatures. As a human being, it is something that must be done to have a greater sense of humanity towards others. The method that can be done to create a greater sense of humanity is community service. Community service can be done by anyone, including students who are studying. This activity will provide great learning in terms of socialization and living as a community side by side. Community service can be done. One of which is by socializing the positive activities that are carried out by suburban child service organizations in Surabaya. This will have an impact on the community who lacks awareness to know and participate in community service. One of them is by participating in campaigning and promoting childcare organizations to the community. One small thing that is implemented for a good purpose will shape the character and character, especially of the younger generation of Indonesia to be improved. Improving the nature and character will create leaders who have a high social spirit and that is what is needed by the Indonesian state.

GAMES WITH THE BIBLICAL SERPENT: HERMENEUTIC TRICKS OF HRYHORII SKOVORODA
Authors: Кисельов Роман
Published: March 2023

The paper gives examples of evident semantic inconsistency between the biblical text and its interpretation by Skovoroda. The aim of looking for mentioned details is not to assess the validity of statements about the biblical ideas (the author’s interpretations are usually provided with branched arguments) but to deeper understand the nature of Skovoroda’s work with the text of the Holy Scriptures. In all these cases, or almost all, the philosopher must have been aware of these discrepancies or at least the possibility of their existence. Sometimes Skovoroda’s conscious games with the text of the Bible are obvious if one compares the very quotes in his works even with the Church Slavonic version of the Bible alone. In other cases, the verification of the correspondence of the author’s interpretation of a quote to its linguistic meaning in the Holy Scriptures necessarily requires the involvement of the Bible versions older than the Church Slavonic one. Constructing his hermeneutic ‘symphonies’ on the basis of the word forms of a single lexeme or cognate words, which he collects in the Bible, Skovoroda often ignores possible polysemy of the word and also risks running into common linguistic errors of the Church Slavonic translation. At the same time, it is difficult to suspect him of lacking proper understanding of a textual nature (since elsewhere he willingly compares multilingual versions), nor of excessive sacralization of the Church Slavonic Bible (again, in some places he easily prefers the text in other languages). Baroque games with words and text, accompanying serious exegetical intention, add uniqueness to Skovoroda’s approach to the Bible. An explanation for this paradoxical combination may be his vision of the role designed for the Holy Scriptures. Not too exacting requirements to the semantic correspondence of a specific biblical text to the thoughts that, according to Skovoroda’s understanding, it should carry or confirm, is caused primarily by the idea of the Bible as a reflection of the spiritual world of its reader. Any role of it other than a mirror (which, however, not only reflects what is known but also helps to see and discover what has been hidden in oneself) is simply irrelevant for our author.

Published: March 2023

The rapid healing and repair of skin wounds has been receiving much clinical attention. Covering the wound with wound dressing to promote wound healing is currently the main treatment for skin wound repair. However, the performance of wound dressing prepared by a single material is limited and cannot meet the requirements of complex conditions for wound healing. MXene is a new two-dimensional material with electrical conductivity, antibacterial and photothermal properties and other physical and biological properties, which has a wide range of applications in the field of biomedicine. Based on the pathophysiological process of wound healing and the properties of ideal wound dressing, this review will introduce the preparation and modification methods of MXene, systematically summarize and review the application status and mechanism of MXene in skin wound healing, and provide guidance for subsequent researchers to further apply MXene in the design of skin wound dressing.
Focusing on Helicobacter pylori infection in the elderly
Authors: Gong Hang , Xu Hui-Mei , Zhang De-Kui
Published: March 2023

As a confirmed carcinogen, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the main cause of inflammatory diseases of the upper digestive tract and even gastric cancer. There is a high prevalence of H. pylori infection among the elderly population, which may cause adverse clinical outcomes. Particularly noteworthy is that guidelines or expert consensus presently available on H. pylori infection overlook the management of the elderly population as a special group. A brief overview of H. pylori in the elderly is as follows. The detection of H. pylori infection can be divided into invasive and non-invasive techniques, and each technique has its advantages and shortcomings. There may be more side effects associated with eradication treatment in elderly individuals, especially for the frail population. Physical conditions and risk-benefit assessments of the elderly should be considered when selecting therapeutic strategies for H. pylori eradication. Unless there are competing factors, elderly patients should receive H. pylori eradication regimens to finally reduce the formation of gastric cancer. In this review, we summarize the latest understanding of H. pylori in the elderly population to provide effective managements and treatment measures.

Published: March 2023

Basalt fiber-reinforced polymer bars are lightweight composite materials with high strength, low density, and excellent corrosion resistance. The anchor system made from basalt fiber-reinforced polymer bars is worthy of being developed and expected to be used in rock anchoring projects. In this work, four different basalt fiber-reinforced polymer anchor systems were designed, the influences of different design parameters on the ultimate bearing capacity of the anchor system were investigated through tension tests, and the failure modes of different anchor systems were elucidated. The test results indicated that failure modes, such as the transverse fracture of these bars and debonding of the bonding medium, were widely present in the wedge-modified anchor system and the steel-pipe-protected anchor system. These two anchor systems performed poorly with the wedge anchorage, whereas the basalt fiber-reinforced polymer bars protected by seamless steel pipes burst under the tension imposed by a universal testing machine. The threaded steel-pipe-bonded anchor system and the steel strand–basalt fiber-reinforced polymer bar composite anchor system had maximum anchorage efficiency coefficients of 97.7% and 98.5%, respectively. The bars in the corresponding test groups all exhibited burst failure, indicating that these two anchoring structures achieved effective anchorage of the basalt fiber-reinforced polymer bars.

The mountain area is faced with complex conditions such as vertical and horizontal valleys, complex geological topography, many earthquake fault zones, high seismic intensity, fragile ecology, and changeable climate. The traditional concrete bridges have a heavy weight, high consumption of sand and gravel materials, large structural dimensions of steel box composite bridges, high steel consumption, and poor overall horizontal performance of steel plate composite beams, which are not suitable for mountain construction conditions. Therefore, based on the construction environment and application requirements of highway bridges in mountainous areas, the structural scheme of steel box-steel plate composite beam is put forward in this paper, and the design of a 25 m–50 m standard-span steel box-steel plate composite beam is studied. The results show that the steel box-steel plate composite beam structure scheme is adopted, which has excellent mechanical characteristics of steel box girder and simple structure of steel plate girder. It has the mechanical characteristics of “balanced transverse force and excellent longitudinal force”, so it is a reasonable choice for small radius curved beam bridge in a mountainous area, so it is a reasonable choice for small radius curved beam bridge in a mountainous area. The steel box-steel plate composite beam adopts the integrated technology of manufacture, transportation and installation, which can better meet the road transport conditions in the mountain area. The longitudinal assembly of the manufacturing unit as the installation unit can ensure the rapid and high-precision installation of the construction site, and the assembly construction of the bridge in the mountain area has been realized. The technical and economic comparison shows that the mechanical performance of steel box-steel plate composite beam is similar to that of steel box beam and obviously better than that of steel plate girder. The steel consumption and construction period of steel box-steel plate composite beam are similar to that of steel plate girder, and are significantly less than that of the steel box girder. Therefore, the steel box-steel plate composite beam is a good choice for mountain bridge construction.
“It feels like I have a camera in my eye”: New methods for literacies research in maker-oriented classrooms

This paper focuses on new data collection methods made possible through first person-perspective or point-of-view (POV) recording technology and how these tools can provide important insights into students’ digital making and learning processes. Observation is a powerful tool, but researchers and educators are limited in what they can observe during a given moment and their inferences about student learning are made through the lens of an “outsider”. Audiovisual recording can supplement classroom observations to provide a more complete picture of students’ learning, but we contend that commonly-used methods are insufficient to capture the dynamic, social processes and literacies at play in a maker-oriented classroom. Through analyses of students’ learning during a digital tutorial-making task, we examine the affordances of and considerations for using POV “spyglasses” in digital literacies research. Spyglasses look and feel like regular glasses that one would wear to improve their vision, augmented with an integrated video camera and recording functionality. Our findings indicate that using tools that allow data to be collected from the student perspective gives access to important, alternate narratives about what students’ final products might show or represent about their digital skills and competencies. We also explore the important technical, ethical and data management considerations associated with using spyglasses as a data collection tool. As physical and digital making practices become more prominent in education and classroom-based research, this study highlights the importance of research tools capable of capturing the nuance and process of learning through making. Future research could explore the gap between researcher interpretation of collected data when it is not “read” alongside, or compared against, documentation from the “insider” perspective.

Background

Hyperuricemia and gout are risk factors of nephrolithiasis. However, it is unclear whether the ABCG2 gene contributes to the development of nephrolithiasis. We aimed to investigate the interaction between the ABCG2 rs2231142 variant and incident nephrolithiasis in the Taiwanese population.

Methods

A total of 120,267 adults aged 30–70 years were enrolled from the Taiwan Biobank data-base in this retrospective case–control study and genotyped for rs2231142. The primary outcome was the prevalence of self-reported nephrolithiasis. The odds ratio (OR) of incident nephrolithiasis was analyzed by multivariable logistic regression models with adjustment for multifactorial confounding factors. Associations of the ABCG2 rs2231142 variant with serum uric acid levels, and the incident nephrolithiasis were explored.

Results

The frequency of rs2231142 T allele was 53%, and 8,410 participants had nephrolithiasis. The multivariable-adjusted OR (95% confidence interval) of nephrolithiasis was 1.18 (1.09–1.28) and 1.12 (1.06–1.18) for TT and GT genotypes, respectively, compared with the GG genotype (p<0.001), specifically in the male population with hyperuricemia. Higher age, male sex, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperuricemia, smoking and overweight were independent risk factors for nephrolithiasis. In contrast, regular physical exercise is a protective factor against nephrolithiasis.

Conclusions

ABCG2 genetic variation is a significant risk of nephrolithiasis, independent of serum uric acid levels. For rs2231142 T allele carriers, our result provides evidence for precision healthcare to tackle hyperuricemia, comorbidities, smoking, and overweight, and recommend regular physical exercise for the prevention of nephrolithiasis.

Objectives: Previous studies of archaeology and history suggested that the rise and prosperity of Bronze Age culture in East Asia had made essential contribution to the formation of early state and civilization in this region. However, the impacts in perspective of genetics remain ambiguous. Previous genetic researches indicated the Y-chromosome Q1a1a-M120 and N1a2a-F1101 may be the two most important paternal lineages among the Bronze Age people in ancient northwest China. Here, we investigated the 9,000-years history of haplogroup N1a2a-F1101 with revised phylogenetic tree and spatial autocorrelation analysis.

Materials and Methods: In this study, 229 sequences of N1a2a-F1101 were analyzed. We developed a highly-revised phylogenetic tree with age estimates for N1a2a-F1101. In addition, we also explored the geographical distribution of sub-lineages of N1a2a-F1101, and spatial autocorrelation analysis was conducted for each sub-branch.

Results: The initial differentiation location of N1a2a-F1101 and its most closely related branch, N1a2b-P43, a major lineage of Uralic-speaking populations in northern Eurasia, is likely the west part of northeast China. After ~4 thousand years of bottleneck effect period, haplgroup N1a2a-F1101 experienced continuous expansion during the Chalcolithic age (~ 4.5 kya to 4 kya) and Bronze age (~ 4 kya to 2.5 kya) in northern China. Ancient DNA evidence supported that this haplogroup is the lineage of ruling family of Zhou Dynasty (~ 3 kya-2.2 kya) of ancient China.

Discussion: In general, we proposed that the Bronze Age people in the border area between the eastern Eurasian steppe and northern China not only played a key role in promoting the early state and civilization of China, but also left significant traces in the gene pool of Chinese people.
