Artificial Neural Network-aided Mathematical Model for Predicting Soil Stress-strain Hysteresis Loop Evolution
Authors: Bocheńska Marta , Srokosz Piotr Emanuel
Published: July 2024

This study presents a novel approach to forecasting the evolution of hysteresis stress-strain response of different types of soils under repeated loading-unloading cycles. The forecasting is made solely from the knowledge of soil properties and loading parameters. Our approach combines mathematical modeling, regression analysis, and Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to overcome the limitations of traditional DNN training. As a novelty, we propose a hysteresis loop evolution equation and design a family of DNNs to determine the parameters of this equation. Knowing the nature of the phenomenon, we can impose certain solution types and narrow the range of values, enabling the use of a very simple and efficient DNN model. The experimental data used to develop and test the model was obtained through Torsional Shear (TS) tests on soil samples. The model demonstrated high accuracy, with an average R² value of 0.9788 for testing and 0.9944 for training.

Craftful Minds. Tracing Technical Individuality in Production Processes
Authors: Hinrichs Moiken
Published: July 2024

The aim of the thesis was to provide a framework for the identification and analysis of individual craftspeople in bifacial flint production. Flint production flakes from replications of South Scandinavian Late Neolithic daggers and Early Bronze Age sickles were the focus of the study, in contrast to research so far, mostly relying on finished and often exceptional pieces. To identify technical traditions within technological systems and/or personal approaches to production, it is necessary to analyse the complete production process. Studies concerned with the process have mostly relied on typical and easy to identify production flakes. This facilitates the identification of tool manufacture and prevents mixing with other production processes, but it also prevents the actual identification of individual approaches to bifacial flint production. Typical flint flakes are typical because physical laws restrict the mode of possible removal. They are, by definition, strategic moments in the production process, which cannot be changed without altering the outcome, so everyone has to work the flint in more or less the same way. Personal or traditional approaches will not be found there, but in the small, flexible steps in between. This is what the volume presents. By detailed analysis of the working procedures of modern knappers, combined with statistical analysis of technical attributes on the production flakes, the possibilities for identification of differing approaches are explored. The analysis shows that the differences on personal or traditional levels are not to be found in the process of removal, but are more clearly distinguished in the preparation for removal. Likewise, the preferences for certain working techniques can be reconstructed and used to distinguish between knappers’ approaches. The results and the approach of the thesis can help us gain a clearer picture of local technical traditions of flint production. They also provide opportunities to identify and analyse processes of knowledge transmission and by this to reconstruct possible paths of learning, contacts between groups and the development and change of technological systems.
Young teenagers and child birth
Authors: Pradhan N. , Rana A. , Singh M. , Gurung G. , Manandhar B.
Published: July 2024

In a retrospective analysis done at TU Teaching Hospital between 15 Aug 1997 and 14 Aug 1998, 57 teenage mothers (13-17 years) represented twenty per thousand deliveries (total deliveries, 2799).
The usual documented complications like prematurity and low-birthweight were seen in 16% and 24.5% respectively. Pregnancy complication such as eclampsia was seen in one case that delivered a low birthweight baby with poor apgar.
Most of these young mothers had vaginal deliveries (86%). The caesarean section rate was 14%, which could have been further lowered,if there were no complications like foetal distress (3) and abnormal presentation (2).
Excepting a case of pregnancy that occurred in a 13-year old girl due to sexual abuse, all the other pregnancies followed marriage. This indicates that adolescent reproductive health is a neglected arena requiring some change. Hence full attention has yet to be focused on adolescent reproductive health, particularly directed towards preventing early marriage and early child bearing which is detrimental to adolescent reproductive health.

Authors: Gyawali Bigyan R , Pradhanaga Rabindra B , Rayamjhi Pabina , Dongol Kripa , Gupta Mudit , Shrestha Lava , Acharya Kunjan
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is an emerging issue resulting from the misuse of antibiotics in today’s world. As an effect of it, cases with persistent ear discharge not responding to the conventional oral antibiotics prescribed in ear pathologies are seen increasing in our day to-day practice. This study aims to review the microbiological growth and the pattern of their antibiotic sensitivity in this group of population.
Methods: This was a retrospective study which was conducted at the Department of ENT-HNS of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. Record files of all cases who presented with persistently discharging ear for more than 2 weeks and not responding to oral antibiotics, between January 2017 to March 2020 were assessed. Cases of chronic otitis media (COM) squamous with persistent discharge were excluded as most of the times it is the disease process rather than type of organism which causes the persistence of ear discharge despite the use of antibiotics.
Results: COM mucosal and cavity infection following modified radical mastoidectomy (MRM) were the commonest pathologies. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) were the commonest bacterial isolates. Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed a good sensitivity to antibiotics like Tazobactam and Piperacillin and resistance to conventionally used antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin. Similarly, CoNS had good sensitivity to antibiotics like Oxacillin and Levofloxacin and resistance to conventionally used antibiotics like Amoxicillin.
Conclusion: COM mucosal and post MRM cavity infection are the commonest pathologies presenting with persistent ear discharge with PA and CoNS as the predominant isolates. Pseudomonas aeruginosa holds a good sensitivity to drugs like Tazobactam and Piperacillin; and CoNS to drugs like Oxacillin and Levofloxacin.

Authors: Sharma Vibha , Sinha Uday K.
Published: July 2024

Neuropsychology is the speciality of clinical psychology, which deals with the study of brain behavior relationship. Clinical neuropsychology uses the principles and procedures of neuropsychology in clinical setting to understand brain related problems or clinical conditions, to intervene into them, to manage them, and to rehabilitate persons suffering from such conditions. Neuropsychological assessment is very important aspect of clinical neuropsychology, which attempts to generate structural as well as functional descriptions of the clients’ present status in order to manage the problem more effectively from biopsychosocial perspective. The behavioral neurology approach, single test approach, neuropsychological battery approach, and qualitative or individual-centered normative approach of neuropsychological assessment have successively developed over the time; each of them have their own merits and limitations. The discipline of clinical neuropsychology has been proved to be an effective concomitant of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry all over the world and its application in present day’s neuromedicine has been accepted with respect. The present article discusses various applications of clinical neuropsychology along with major challenges of the subject in detail.

A influência do jejum nos exames para avaliação hepática
Authors: Pereira Herrera Kamila Poliara , Otaviano Divino José , Ferreira de Andrade Larissa
Published: July 2024

O jejum tem papel fundamental nos resultados de exames laboratoriais, faz parte dos cuidados pré-analíticos, e sua ausência pode prejudicar a precisão e exatidão destes. A dosagem das enzimas Transaminases, Fosfatase Alcalina e Gama Glutamil Transferase permite um auxílio diagnóstico em casos de lesão hepática. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar se a não realização do jejum de 8 a 12 horas, para a coleta de sangue para realização destas enzimas, é um interferente nos resultados. Para isso, foram selecionados 11 estudantes do estágio supervisionado em Biomedicina II e III do CEULP/ULBRA. As coletas foram realizadas em um intervalo de 15 dias. A primeira coleta foi realizada com o participante em jejum e no dia seguinte realizou-se a segunda coleta com o participante com o compromisso de ter realizado o desjejum em no máximo duas horas anteriores à coleta. Após 15 dias foi realizada a terceira e quarta coletas nas mesmas condições. Os resultados apontaram que o desjejum não foi um interferente nos resultados, pois as variações destes não são suficientes para mudar a sua interpretação. Assim conclui-se que para estes exames de avaliação da integridade hepática, em especial, o jejum não é determinante. Vale ressaltar que essa pesquisa foi realizada somente com uma faixa etária entre 20 e 40 anos, não contemplando crianças, adolescentes e idosos.

THE NEED TO CREATE AN ADDITIONAL RESERVE FUND OF ASSETS IN TIMES OF INFLATION / ՍՂԱՃԻ ՊԱՅՄԱՆՆԵՐՈՒՄ ԱԿՏԻՎՆԵՐԻ ՀԱՎԵԼՅԱԼ ՊԱՀՈՒՍՏԱՅԻՆ ՖՈՆԴԻ ՍՏԵՂԾՄԱՆ ԱՆՀՐԱԺԵՇՏՈՒԹՅՈՒՆԸ

Published: July 2024

The object of study of the article is scarcity and the replaceability of depreciable/depreciated assets with similar assets and the goal is the acquisition of new assets during the inflation conditions and the neutralization of the poverty effect of the inflation by creating an additional reserve fund of assets. In Armenia, as in every developed and developing country, the permissible rate of inflation is fixed by law, with its deviations. For example, in RA, according to Article 4 of the RA Law "On the State Budget of RA 2024" (previous years similarly) and until these last years as well, the permissible amount of inflation is 4% ± 1.5%. In UK - 2%, in the USA - from 5%-1/4 to 5%-1/2, etc. Given that price stability or the restoration of price stability does not, in fact, mean a return to a fixed price or point, but rather a state of slow and steady price growth, this raises the question of when inflation deviates from the legally defined above the permissible limit, how it relates to the context of substitutability of real sector assets. In other words, during the useful life of assets, in addition to the effects of obsolescence and physical depreciation, there is a certain difference between the current value and the amount of accumulated depreciation at the time of acquisition of a similar asset, as a result of which the acquisition of a new or modern asset requires additional expenses.
In this context, the article raises the issue of replaceability of depresiable fixed assets with new ones and the creation of an additional reserve fund during inflation in the form of an expense, as a deduction from the tax base in a given year. As a scientific result, it is proposed to define the amount of the reserve fund as a deduction from the tax base, and the calculation methodology as presented in the point of scientific result.

Artificial intelligence is characterized as non-living intelligence, although
attempts are being made to pass from the principles of biological neural
networks to artificial living neural networks. The human brain is assumed to
be a complex system of physicochemical neurophysiological biochemical
integration of neural networks, which encodes a specific type of biological
information, cognitive information. Intelligence is a specific quality of the
process of thinking as an expression based on the neurophysiological
mechanism of prediction. Nowadays, people more and more often speak
about the anthropological, axiological crisis, modification and transformation
of human nature, the creation of biological hybrids that compete with natural
ones. It will hardly be possible to formalize the complexities of the human
brain and mind into digital code in artificial intelligence.

A Retrospective Study of COVID-19 Based on A Dual-Stage Model
Authors: Wu Tian , Song Jiajun , She Yiyang , Wen Yuxin , Wang Yiran
Published: July 2024

This study proposed initial stage SEI1I2I3RD and final stage SEQ I1I2I3RD models to deeply analyze the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 at different stages and propose scientific prevention and control strategies. The initial stage SE I1I2I3RD model divides infected individuals into mild, moderate, and severe cases during the early stage of the epidemic, effectively predicting the number of new infections and cumulative recoveries. The final stage SEQ I1I2I3RD model builds on the initial stage SE I1I2I3RD model by adding a quarantine compartment, which reflects the impact of nucleic acid testing and quarantine measures on epidemic control. By introducing dynamic parameters and nonlinear processing, the final stage SEQ I1I2I3RD model significantly improves prediction accuracy. The study demonstrates that increasing the isolation rate, reducing the daily contact rate of infected persons, and improving the recovery rate of mildly infected persons are effective control strategies. Based on the model's predictions, policy recommendations such as enhancing public health education, strictly implementing isolation measures, restricting population movement, and optimizing medical resource allocation are proposed to effectively control the spread of the epidemic, reduce the burden on the healthcare system, and create favorable conditions for economic recovery.

Authors: Chen Jie
Published: July 2024

Under the background of integration of technology and higher education, this paper probes the question whether technology can advance liberal education, especial the critical thinking capability required by liberal education, in English major. The paper first identifies English major as a part of the humanity and social science disciplines, in which liberal education is essential and indispensable. Since liberal education emphasizes the capability of critical thinking, the paper then asks whether the integration of technology can promote the student’s critical thinking and therefore facilitate liberal education. The paper then applies the eight principles of critical thinking (TERRIFIC Principles) to evaluate the blended teaching of Contemporary American Culture and Society (CACS), a core course of English major at the Faculty of English Language and Culture, GDUFS. After examining the textbook, syllabus, program setting, teaching practice and assessment of CACS, it is found that blended online and offline teaching is better at developing the student’s capability of critical thinking than traditional offline teaching. The paper concludes that technology-empowered learning is conducive to liberal education.
Exploring Key Elements for Achieving Intergenerational Family Business Succession in the Chinese Context
Authors: Wei Yuxin
Published: July 2024

In the rapidly evolving Chinese economy, family-owned businesses, integral to the nation's GDP and innovation, face a significant challenge with an impending wave of intergenerational succession. With over 5.5 million such businesses, less than 20% have identified successors, and only 6% have established succession plans. This study examines intergenerational succession in these businesses, applying Handler's (1989) satisfaction and effectiveness framework, alongside Pyromalis et al. (2006)'s model. The research, conducted through interviews with second-generation owners, aims to uncover factors influencing succession satisfaction and effectiveness. Key findings highlight the unique impact of Chinese cultural values on the succession process. Unlike expectations, the reluctance of incumbents to relinquish control isn't a source of frustration for successors, reflecting the cultural emphasis on respect and deference to elders. The study broadens its scope beyond family dynamics to stakeholder relationships, acknowledging their importance in succession. This research merges theoretical and empirical analyses, adapting a Greek-tested model to the Chinese context, thus enhancing its global relevance. It provides insights into Chinese family business succession, shaped by cultural norms, and demonstrates the versatility of Western models in diverse cultural landscapes, enriching the understanding of global family business succession.
