Authors: Shaikh Muhammad Farooq , Higley Ciara , Campanile Cecilia , Francis Becky , Panja Elyssa , Santacaterina Silvia , Pratesi Giacomo , Piaggio Davide
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Neurological development in children aged 3-11 is highly sensitive and variable. Critical skills for daily and professional
life depend on the development of executive functions, and difficulties in this process can manifest as learning disorders
such as ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dysgraphia, affecting 5-10% of children worldwide. Early screening is crucial to ensure
timely intervention and enhance the quality of life for affected individuals. However, challenges include high costs,
lengthy wait times, and logistical barriers, leading to underdiagnosis and delayed intervention.

OBJECTIVE

To systematically review technological solutions for early screening and improve diagnosis and intervention strategies
for neurodevelopmental disorders in children

METHODS

Relevant studies were selected using specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to assess the effectiveness of various
technologies and methodologies. Technologies evaluated included gamified eye-tracking tests and machine learning
algorithms. The review employed quality appraisal tools such as the MMAT table and PRISMA flow chart to synthesize
findings from the included studies.

RESULTS

The review highlights the efficacy of technologies such as gamified eye-tracking tests and machine learning algorithms
in screening for learning disorders. Despite promising results documented in the literature, there is a significant gap in
translating these technologies into clinical practice. Current practices rely heavily on paper-based tests, which are
inefficient for continuous monitoring and vary widely across regions. No specific sample sizes, response rates, P values,
or Confidence Intervals were detailed in the abstract.

CONCLUSIONS

Integrating advanced technologies into clinical settings could significantly enhance early diagnosis and intervention for
learning disorders. This aligns with the UK NHS Long Term Plan, advocating for digital and personalized healthcare
solutions to improve access to services, enhance patient experiences, support clinical decision-making, and optimize care
delivery. Future research should focus on bridging the gap between technological advancements and clinical application.

Authors: Bragazzi Nicola Luigi , Monica Stefania , Bergenti Federico , Scazzina Francesca , Rosi Alice
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Understanding the core principles of nutrition is essential in today’s world of abundant, often contradictory dietary advice, empowering individuals to make informed dietary choices, crucial for having a proper diet and managing diet-related Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems in providing nutritional information is increasingly prominent, but their reliability in this domain is not well-established yet.

OBJECTIVE

This study compares the nutrition knowledge of state-of-the-art AI systems (ChatGPT-4, Bard, Copilot, and ChatGPT-3.5) with human subjects having different levels of nutrition knowledge.

METHODS

The “General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire–Revised” (GNKQ-R) was administered to four AI systems and human subjects. The AI systems were tested using zero-shot prompts. Responses were scored per the GNKQ’s guidelines across four sections: “Dietary Recommendations”; “Food Groups”; “Healthy Food Choices”; “Diet, Disease and Weight Management”. Human subjects were grouped based on their academic background (dietetics vs English students), age, sex/gender, education level, and health status.

RESULTS

The average performance of AI systems across all LLMs was 77.3±5.1 out of 88, which comparable to the dietetics students and significantly higher than the English students. ChatGPT-4 scored highest among the AI systems (82/88), surpassing both groups of students (dietetics: 79.3/88, English: 67.7/88) as well as all other demographic groups. In “Dietary Recommendations”, ChatGPT-4 and ChatGPT-3.5 nearly matched dietetics students. ChatGPT-4 excelled in “Food Groups”, outperforming all human groups. In “Healthy Food Choices”, ChatGPT-4 achieved a perfect score, indicating a deep understanding. ChatGPT-3.5 excelled in “Diet, Disease and Weight Management”. Variations in the performances of the AI systems across different sections were observed, suggesting knowledge gaps in certain areas. AI systems, particularly ChatGPT-4 and ChatGPT-3.5, showed proficiency in nutrition knowledge, rivaling or surpassing dietetics students in certain sections. This indicates their potential utility in nutritional guidance. However, there are nuances and specific details where AI systems lack compared to specialized human education. The study highlights the potential of AI in public health and educational settings but also underscores the value of expert human judgment.

CONCLUSIONS

AI systems show promise in understanding complex subjects like nutrition and can be a valuable adjunct educational tool. However, specialized human education and expertise remain irreplaceable, emphasizing the need for a combined approach of AI systems insights with expert human judgment in nutrition and dietetics.

Published: August 2024

Недрібноклітинний рак легень (НДКРЛ) є одною з провідних причин смертності в онкології. Упровадження в клінічну практику таргетної терапії та імунотерапії дозволило досягти суттєвого прогресу в поліпшенні результатів лікування хворих на НДКРЛ. Вибір стратегії лікування ґрунтується на результатах мультигенного тестування НДКРЛ з оцінкою відповідного спектра клінічно значущих біомаркерів. У цьому огляді автори систематизували дані щодо молекулярного профілю НДКРЛ різних гістологічних типів і впливу генетичних альтерацій на чутливість до різних варіантів терапії, навели аналіз поточних настанов і рекомендацій щодо молекулярного тестування пацієнтів з НДКРЛ, сформулювали вимоги щодо вибору оптимальних зразків біоматеріалу і методів тестування НДКРЛ. З огляду на широкий спектр клінічно значущих мутацій при НДКРЛ оптимальним методом генетичного тестування є NGS. При неможливості проведення NGS частина клінічно значущих генетичних альтерацій може бути визначена за допомогою полімеразної ланцюгової реакції, FISH або імуногістохімії. У разі неможливості отримання зразку пухлинної тканини мультигенне тестування НДКРЛ ІІІ–ІV стадії рекомендовано проводити методом рідкої біопсії з використанням плазми крові, яка містить циркулюючу пухлинну ДНК. Дослідження циркулюючої пухлинної ДНК у крові дозволяє визначити мінімальну залишкову хворобу, визначити ефективність проведеної терапії, оцінити ризик рецидиву і прогноз.

Published: August 2024

Four vanadyl pyrophosphate (VPO) catalysts were prepared via the sesquihydrate precursor route using direct microwave irradiation and reflux synthesis methods. The synthesis of the sesquihydrate precursor was carried out in 2 stages. The synthesized catalysts were denoted as VPOs-DD, VPOs-RR, VPOs-RD, and VPOs-DR; where VPOs represented VPO catalysts produced through sesquihydrate precursor, and D and R represented direct microwave irradiation and reflux synthesis methods, respectively. The direct microwave irradiation synthesis method was found to reduce the synthesis duration significantly for both stages of the precursor synthesis, from 48 to 4 h. An exclusive secondary configuration, akin to a needle-shaped form in chrysanthemums, is specifically noted in VPOs-DD could increase the specific surface area by 35.4% compared to the bulkier structure of VPOs catalyst produced via the conventional reflux synthesis method (VPOs-RR). Direct microwave irradiation could induce the removal of more than 4 times the total amount of oxygen atoms from the lattice of V4+ and V5+ phases, as compared to the conventional reflux method counterpart. This ultimately produced VPOs catalysts with greater catalytic performances and TON. In summary, employing direct microwave irradiation could generate VPOs catalysts with increased efficiency, improved activity and selectivity as compared to the conventional reflux method.

Authors: S Darsha
Published: August 2024

Abstract: Western Ghats is one of the major tropical evergreen-forested regions in India and is one of the hottest hot spots in the World. Increasing urbanization as well as deforestation and thereby resulting habitat loss leads us to give a hand on conservation of such challenging biodiversity in these region. Aerides crispa and Cleisostoma tenuifolium are two vulnerable orchid plants from Kodagu, which is the heart of Western Ghats and are used as source of endophyte for the study. Isolation and molecular characterization of endophytic bacteria from the plants were studied to its genotypic level by comparing the PCR isolated 16S rRNA sequences. Nucleotide sequences were compared with the NCBI database and accession numbers for each bacterial strain were obtained from the GenBank. About 12 different bacteria were molecularly identified from these two orchids, A. crispa and C. tenuifolium.
Long-lived collective Rydberg excitations in atomic gas achieved via ac-Stark lattice modulation
Authors: Kurzyna Stanisław , Niewelt Bartosz , Mazelanik Mateusz , Wasilewski Wojciech , Parniak Michał
Published: August 2024

Collective Rydberg excitations provide promising applications ranging from quantum information processing, and quantum computing to ultra-sensitive electrometry. However, their short lifetime is an immense obstacle in real-life scenarios. The state-of-the-art methods of prolonging the lifetime were mainly implemented for ground-state quantum memories and would require a redesign to effectively work on different atomic transitions. We propose a protocol for extending the Rydberg excitation lifetime, which in principle can freeze the spin-wave and completely cancel the effects of thermal dephasing. The protocol employs off-resonant ac-Stark lattice modulation of spin waves by interfering two laser beams on the atomic medium. Our implementation showed that the excitation lifetime can be extended by an order of magnitude, paving the way towards more complex protocols for collective Rydberg excitations.

The History of Determining the Time of Jumat Prayer
Authors: Atqiya Muhammad Afan Nur , Izzuddin Ahmad
Published: August 2024

Friday prayer is a special worship service performed on Friday. Friday prayers that are performed now are a reconstruction of the practice of worship that was carried out at the time of the prophet Muhammad SAW. However, in determining the practice of carrying out on Friday at the time of the Dhuhr prayer experienced several long journeys and differences of opinion because there was no specific command from the Qur'an or the prophet's hadith that explained the practice in detail. This research aims to find out how the history of determining Friday prayers during the time of the prophet Muhammad SAW to the practices carried out now. This research uses qualitative research methods and literature research. The data obtained will then be analyzed with inductive techniques to provide a descriptive picture, making it easier to draw conclusions that Friday prayers as a special worship in Islam are not explained in detail in the Koran, and further details of its implementation are found in the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The history of the Friday prayer reveals the beginning of this worship, which originated from Allah's command to the Prophet Muhammad when he was still in Mecca and still preparing for the hijrah to Medina. Friday prayers were first made compulsory in Medina and began as Zuhr prayers with an additional khutbah.

Published: August 2024

The tourism sector in Greece has shown very important points of recovery, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, being one of the steam engines of the Greek economy, contributing to its all-important economic terms and parameters. The above elements make the sector highly competitive, and the assessment of its competitiveness as well as the choice of the appropriate development strategies is a matter of particular importance (Chikan et al., 2022). On the other hand, competitiveness is a wide concept which can be estimated either using the Porter’s Diamond Model or financial indexes (Fischer & Schornberg, 2007). Taking this into account, the purpose of this paper is to assess the competitiveness of three of the largest Greek hotel units in economic terms with the use of financial indexes, as well as to determine the most suitable strategies for their further development, trying to fill the existing gap in the literature for the tourism hotel sector in Greece. The main results show that improving indicators such as liquidity and maintaining a good capital structure contribute to maintaining the sector’s sustainability and its further development holding special importance both for academics and policymakers taking into consideration the contribution of tourism to the whole Greek economy.

We conducted a clinical trial with 200 type 2 diabetes patients to
evaluate mμSORS for non-invasive blood glucose measurement. Using
Optical Coherence Tomography, we studied skin thickness and optical
attenuation in 172 diabetic and 26 healthy subjects. Results showed
thicker stratum corneum and stratum spinosum in diabetics. Epidermal
thickness increased with age and BMI, decreased with skin brightness,
and varied minimally with gender. Optical attenuation in stratum
spinosum was lower in diabetics, decreased with increasing a*, and was
minimally affected by gender and BMI but increased with age in the upper
dermis. These findings support mμSORS for accurate non-invasive glucose

Rapid Urbanization and the Nigerian Landscape: The Gains, the Menaces, and Strategies for Future Success
Authors: Oladunmoye Oluranti Mobolaji ,   Department of Architecture University of Ibadan Ibadan, Nigeria.
Published: August 2024

Migration, the movement of people from one place to another, is believed to flow towards urbanization. Urbanization accounts for the major reason which pulls migration, and the environment is the fiber and bedrock upon which Urbanization thrives. As Urbanization occurs, the environment is modified to accommodate its new population. Ideally, in modifying the environment to accommodate urbanization, care should be taken to avoid any form of exploitation, degradation, abuse, and misuse. In the Nigerian context however, urbanization has occurred rapidly through unsustainable activities and lifestyles that both deplete and pressure the environment and the lives of the very inhabitants it should so dutifully protect. This research paper analyzes how Nigeria's rapid urban growth is affecting landscape design and sustainability. It highlights the history of urbanization both globally and locally, as well as addressing the menaces and negative impact of the movement citing examples in certain Nigerian cities. It goes on to establish the role of landscape in Urban Spaces and how they play Sustainability, Health, Aesthetic, Social, Agricultural, Ecological, Economical, Acoustic and Conservational roles in impacting the urban spaces in Nigeria. It concludes by recommending strategies for ensuring success in the use of landscape as a tool for mitigating the negative effects of rapid urbanization in Nigeria.

The researchers observed a significant increase in the z-BMI from type 1 diabetes onset through the 3-year follow-up, with insulin dose as a significant covariate. Although insulin doses steadily increased, their impact on A1C did not appear to be optimal (mean A1C 8.7%).
Hybrid use of a robotic welding system in remote laser separation of thin-sheet Al casings for the recycling of battery packs
Authors: D’Arcangelo Simone , Busatto Matteo , Caprio Leonardo , Previtali Barbara , Demir Ali Gökhan
Published: August 2024

Robotic systems equipped with high-power laser sources are often employed for the production of battery packs for the electric mobility sector. Considering the strive toward a circular manufacturing economy, there is great interest in the possibility of reconfiguring such equipment for dismantling operations. The present study explores the hybrid use of a robotized fiber laser welding system, adapting its scope from joining of battery casings toward the separation of the same thin Al sheets, enabling the recycling of the internal cells of the battery pack. Process feasibility is assessed by tailoring the beam size as well as exploiting dynamic beam oscillation to perform the separation process. Dynamic beam oscillation allows us to obtain a smaller kerf width and greater process stability with respect to linear trajectories with larger beam sizes. The damage to underlying cells of the separation region was also assessed on different materials (Al, Ni-plated steel, and Cu). Greater surface modifications and higher peak temperatures (in excess of 800 °C) were recorded when employing dynamic beam oscillation with respect to linear trajectories. This research demonstrates a pathway for reutilization of the existing technological systems for a circular and sustainable production chain in the e-mobility sector.

El autor revisa algunas contribuciones que han estudiado las grandes distancias y las discontinuidades territoriales como uno de los problemas que la monarquía española debió enfrentar para el gobierno de sus territorios americanos. Aborda en primer lugar las interpretaciones propuestas para el problema de las distancias (y de su escala); continúa con aquellos que estudiaron los mecanismos instrumentados por la monarquía para minimizar el problema; prosigue con una clasificación de los diferentes tipos de distancia representados en esos análisis y por último se propone testear de qué manera la idea de «archipiélago» (de poblamiento, de explotación, de gobierno) ha contribuido a mejorar la comprensión del problema general del gobierno a distancia en aquellas sociedades precapitalistas y de antiguo régimen.
SCULPTURE OF PLASTIC ASSOCIATIONS IN THE WORK OF MYKHAILO DZYNDRA OF THE LATE 1960S – 1970S
Authors: Kykta Roman
Published: August 2024

The conceptual foundations of M. Dzyndra's creative pursuits during the period of “sculpture of plastic associations” (1967/68–1974) are revealed. Based on the criterion of the relationship between the “basic semantic text”, “subject motifs” and the formal solution, the sculptural works created within this framework are typologized and their semantic-imagery and formal-plastic characteristics are identified. It is argued that the formal-plastic features of “sculpture of plastic associations” in M. Dzyndra's work include the reduction of the empirical to the essential; generalization and conciseness; expressiveness of silhouettes and rhythm; monumental stasis or expression; inclusion of spatial caesuras in the imagery-plastic structure of the work; contrast of stasis and dynamics, scales, volumes, and forms; the image-forming significance of the interaction between form and surrounding space; and the appeal to modernist artistic experience and the form-making of archaic cultures. The features of M. Dzyndra's reception of the creative findings of O. Archypenko, C. Brancusi, J. Lipchitz, H. Moore, J. Miró, and P. Picasso are analyzed. Interdisciplinary artistic influences in certain works of the artist and their orientation towards exhibition in a natural environment are highlighted. The delineation within the “plastic-associative” period in M. Dzyndra's work of geometrizing forms inspired by Cubism and “bionic” types of form-making, which will later develop into “abstract form plasticity” and “architectural form plasticity” in the master's oeuvre, is emphasized.
THE IMPACT OF POST-TRUTH ON MODERN SPHERES OF SOCIETY
Authors: Verstyn Andrii
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to the era of post-truth as a phenomenon of socio-political discourse and practice, when the truth or falsity of facts and judgments is ignored. The beginning of the post-truth era is usually associated with 2016, namely the referendum and the Brexit procedure, the election of the US president (directly because of the figure of D. Trump). The posttruth era refers to a situation where everything is completely built on lies that do not cause public condemnation. A peculiarity is the manifestation of these signs among democratic countries. The philosophical origins of the post-truth era lie in the theory of subjective relativism, which denies the existence of absolute, objective truth and emphasizes that the status of truth depends on individual judgments, experiences, and cultural conditions. In the context of relativism, science is only one perspective on the world that has the same force and influence of arguments with religion, myths, judgments and personal experiences of the average person. The concept of equality of opinions and points of view is intertwined with the problem of the limits of freedom of speech: whether different opinions should really be broadcast in society, regardless of evidence. Characteristic features of post-truth are: a) ignoring objective facts in reporting; b) appeal to the values and beliefs of the individual; c) using emotional pressure to argue one's position. It is substantiated that the emergence and development of the post-truth era is determined by technological, political, philosophical and informational factors. It is considered how the post-truth era affects the political, educational, scientific and other spheres, which significantly reduces their effectiveness. Disinformation as part of the post-truth is a significant challenge for ordinary citizens.
Panorami al futuro : Fondazione Prada e la musealizzazione del brand
Authors: Giannitrapani Alice
Published: August 2024

Il contributo si propone di esplorare alcune tendenze nel mondo dei brand, prendendo come caso studio quello degli spazi di Fondazione Prada a Milano. Caso interessante, e non unico, in cui una grande griffe amplia il proprio raggio di azione proponendosi non più e non solo come produttore di oggetti di alta moda, ma come moderno mecenate che mette l’arte, e la propria collezione, a disposizione di un grande pubblico. La sede degli spazi espositivi è quella di una ex-distilleria dei primi del 900: la risemantizzazione e il conseguente cambiamento di ruolo tematico dello spazio pongono una serie di questioni su cosa e come il passato sia mantenuto e sul se e in che modo le precedenti funzioni continuino ad agire nel presente. Non solo, ma Fondazione Prada è un luogo ibrido, in cui interagiscono più luoghi e parlano più voci (al suo interno, si trovano ad esempio il ristorante Torre e il Bar Luce, progettato da Wes Anderson). Interessante, infine, la relazione con la città, in una doppia accezione: da un lato lo spazio urbano è messo in scena grazie a superfici trasparenti che lo offrono come panorama agli occhi dell’osservatore ; dall’altro esso è attraversato da trasformazioni che dalla Fondazione hanno origine. La sede espositiva estende infatti il proprio raggio di azione al di là dei confini dell’edificio, ridefinendo il quartiere e innescando ulteriori tendenze urbane.

Navigating הבל (hbl): Qohelet's Meaning of Life and its Affinity with Frankl's Logotherapy
Authors: Sanchez Christian Nito Antasuda ,   Loyola School of Theology, Dirgaprimawan Bernadus ,   Faculty of Theology, Universitas Sanata Darma
Published: August 2024

How can Qohelet in the book of Ecclesiastes give us a new perspective on the modern understanding of the meaning of life? For us to answer this question, the paper attempts to investigate the concept of the word commonly translated as ‘absurd,’ ‘worthless,’ or ‘meaningless’ used by Qohelet, originally a Hebrew word הבל (hbl). In order to clarify Qohelet's perspective of life’s meaning, the paper uses a word study on הבל (hbl). The paper aims to discuss that הבל (hbl) can properly be read as a symbolic metaphor which is ‘vapor’ that can have varying degrees of meaning which include insubstantiality, transience, and foulness. By understanding Qohelet's concept of הבל (hbl) as a symbolic metaphor, the paper elucidates how to better understand the perspective of the book of Ecclesiastes on the meaning of life as it squares with Viktor Frankl’s theory of logotherapy, a leading contemporary view of life’s meaning in modern existential philosophy. Finally, the paper encourages a new examination of life's intricacies and aims to provide insights that resonate with today's meaning-seekers by tying the book of Ecclesiastes to the writings of Viktor Frankl. Each of our life journeys is unique, nevertheless, the paper provides a new perspective and suggests common values for which we all can travel forward in life to seek meaning in our daily lives.
