Background: The global crisis of COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) has prompted comprehensive research into its impact, with studies uncovering varied occurrence and mortality rates. This study seeks to determine the prevalence of COVID-19 amongst the overall population based on self-reported symptoms and testing while also examining the association of prevalence with demographic, health, and epidemiological factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out with citizens of Prishtina, the capital city of Kosovo from May to June 2021. We calculated the prevalence of self-reported COVID-19 symptoms and positive tests among the citizens, as well as crude and adjusted ORs examining the association of COVID-19 infection with explanatory factors, including the protection and exposure coefficient.
Results: A total of 654 (52.1%) out of 1255 respondents reported having experienced COVID-19 symptoms. Six hundred (47.8%) households reported having an infected family member and 44 (7.3%) households reported having a dead family member due to COVID-19. In addition, 47.2% of 3,068 household members were infected with COVID-19, and 1.5% died due to COVID-19. A total of 689 respondents underwent testing for COVID-19 and 184 (26.7%) reported positive results. For individuals who reported COVID-19 symptoms, higher odds for infection were found among urban residents (adjusted OR, 1.53; 95%CI, 1.13-2.07; p=0.006), individuals with infected household members (adjusted OR, 2.53; 95%CI, 2.00-3.20; p<0.001), higher exposure coefficient (adjusted OR, 2.20; 95%CI, 1.42-3.41; p<0.001), and existing health conditions (adjusted OR, 2.22; 95%CI, 1.50-3.27; p<0.001). For individuals who underwent COVID-19 testing, higher odds for infection were found among individuals with infected household members (adjusted OR, 3.51; 95% CI, 2.29-5.39; p<0.001).
Conclusion: This study highlights the prevalence of COVID-19 in Prishtina and the significance of factors like existing health conditions, household size, epidemiologic behaviour, and the number of infected members as important determinants of COVID-19 incidence.
Agents in the News: English Envoys and Imperial Diplomats in the London Periodical Press during the Peace Negotiations of Rákóczi’s War of Independence (1704–06)
Authors: Horváth Réka
Published: February 2025

This study examines the series of events between 1704 and 1706, focusing on the peace negotiations of Rákóczi’s War of Independence (1703–11) took place in Hungary. This period can be observed as the climax of interest in the English political discourse given the pivotal role played by the English and Dutch mediators during the negotiations. I intend to narrow down the scope of the examination to the media appearances of those who shaped the course of the negotiations: the imperial diplomats and the English and Dutch envoys in two contemporary, essentially divergent, London newspapers, the London Gazette and the Daily Courant. I argue that the body of knowledge of the English public’s political discourse regarding the political landscape of the Kingdom of Hungary was complex and multifaceted and was incorporated into the London periodicals in diverse ways, emphasizing the diplomatic aspect in the pursuit of consensus. In accordance with the changing characteristics of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century diplomacy, negotiators, mediators, and delegates were monitored thoroughly in the public sphere, and therefore in the periodical press. Providing clear evidence of this, the newspapers I analyse here present the diplomatic events of the war of independence in a detailed and nuanced manner, while revealing significant differences in their news coverage.

Authors: Manish Swami  , Asha Sharma
Published: February 2025

Global warming and climate change have been the most challenging environmental problems the world is facing. This problem will affect the future of this planet which can be seen from different stances. Green disclosure refers to companies reporting their environmental impact, sustainability efforts, and eco-friendly initiatives. It aims to provide transparency about a company's commitment to environmental stewardship and its role in sustainable development. The study's three main goals are first, to examine the various theoretical frameworks that support green disclosure, giving readers a thorough understanding of the concepts, theories, and principles involved; second, to analyse and assess the green disclosure practices of a few chosen companies in the cement and automotive industries, showing how these sectors manage and report their environmental impact; and last, to develop a model that explains the significance of various green disclosure indicators, which will aid in evaluating and forecasting the environmental performance of companies. One-way ANOVA, correlation method, and neural network have been used to predict key indicators for the success or sound financial performance of the company. The result shows notable differences in the environmental disclosures made by the 26 companies chosen from the cement and automotive industries. The results imply that businesses with strong green disclosure policies vary from one another. Prediction of normalized importance material (GRI-1) found at the top priority with 80.4%, Biodiversity at 39.1%, and energy at 34.3% at second and third priority respectively
The Mediating Role of Meaning-Making in the Relationship Between Mental Time Travel and Positive Emotions in Stress-Related Blogs: Big Data Text Analysis Research (Preprint)
Authors: Chen Yidi , Zheng Lei , Ma Jinjin , Zhu Huanya , Gan Yiqun
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Given the ubiquity of stress, a key focus of stress research is exploring how to better coexist with stress.

OBJECTIVE

This study conducted text analysis on stress-related Weibo posts using a web crawler to investigate whether these posts contained positive emotions, as well as elements of mental time travel and meaning-making. A mediation model of mental time travel, meaning-making, and positive emotions was constructed to examine whether meaning-making triggered by mental time travel can foster positive emotions under stress.

METHODS

Using Python 3.8, the original public data from active Weibo users were crawled, yielding 331,711 stress-related posts. To avoid false positives, these posts were randomly divided into two large samples for cross-validation (sample 1: n=165,374; sample 2: n=166,337). Google’s natural language processing application programming interface was used for word segmentation, followed by text and mediation analysis using the Chinese psychological analysis system “Wenxin.” A mini–meta-analysis of the mediation path coefficients was conducted. Text analysis identified mental time travel words, meaning-making words, and positive emotion words in stress-related posts.

RESULTS

The constructed mediation model of mental time travel words (time words), meaning-making words (causal and insightful words), and positive poststress emotions validated positive adaptation following stress. A mini–meta-analysis of two different mediation models constructed in the two subsamples indicated a stable mediation effect across the 2 random subsamples. The combined effect size (B) obtained was .013 (SE 0.003, 95% CI 0.007-0.018; P<.001), demonstrating that meaning-making triggered by mental time travel in stress-related blog posts can predict positive emotions under stress.

CONCLUSIONS

Individuals can adapt positively to stress by engaging in meaning-making processes that are triggered by mental time travel and reflected in their social media posts. The study’s mediation model confirmed that mental time travel leads to meaning-making, which fosters positive emotional responses to stress. Mental time travel serves as a psychological strategy to facilitate positive adaptation to stressful situations.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

The growing administrative burden on clinicians, particularly in medical documentation, contributes to burnout and may compromise patient safety. Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence offer a promising solution to improve documentation processes and adress these challenges.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using a fine-tuned OpenAI Curie model to automate the generation of medical report summaries (epicrises) in ophthalmology. By assessing the model’s performance through human and automated evaluations, the research seeks to determine its potential for reducing clinician workload while ensuring accuracy, usefulness, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

METHODS

A dataset of around 60,000 anonymized medical letters was created using a custom algorithm to comply with GDPR. The Curie model was fine-tuned on this dataset to generate epicrises from medical histories, diagnoses, and findings. Performance evaluation involved various human assessments and automated evaluations from two LLMs.

RESULTS

The fine-tuned Curie model effectively generated coherent medical summaries. Human evaluators (n=769) rated the majority of the AI-generated epicrises as helpful or excellent. Assessments indicated varying agreement on aspects like correctness, accuracy, usefulness, and potential time savings, estimated to be up to 50 seconds per report. Automated evaluations generally aligned with human ratings.

CONCLUSIONS

This research emphasizes AI’s potential to streamline documentation workflows in ophthalmology. However, significant legal and regulatory challenges exist, particularly regarding data transfer outside the EU. The model performed better on common cases, underscoring the importance of human review to maintain quality and safety.This study highlights the promise of transformer-based LLMs in reducing administrative tasks in healthcare. It outlines a pipeline for integrating LLMs into EU clinical practice, emphasizing the need for careful implementation to ensure efficiency and patient safety.
Emotion Based Music Recommendation System
Authors: Pandav Khushali
Published: February 2025

The integration of emotion state and music recommendation systems holds a high potential for enhancing experiences
through mapping emotion state with preference for music. In this work, an emotion state-dependent music recommendation
system is proposed, utilizing face expression recognition for determination of emotion state and real-time suggesting of music in
relation to it. With Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and the FER-2013 dataset, emotion categories including happiness,
sadness, anger, surprise, and neutrality are determined. A dynamic module then retrieves personalized playlists of music in
relation to detected emotion, offering real-time, adaptable recommendations to users. Computer vision techniques such as Haar
Cascade classifiers are utilized for face feature extraction and emotion classification through machine learning algorithms.
Outcomes are represented through confusion matrices, classification reports, and emotion distribution plots, providing an
insight into performance of the system. The proposed model introduces a new direction for personalized consumption of music,
enhancing emotion well-being through music and opening doors for future emotion AI breakthroughs, with implications in
mental wellness and entertainment.

Authors: Yuhui Xie Quin , Granato Alessandra , Wong Anthony , Yau Christopher , Noseworthy Rebecca , Chen Tina , Gianetto-Hill Connor , Allen-Vercoe Emma , J. Guidos Cynthia , K. Hamilton Jill , S. Danska Jayne
Published: February 2025

Obesity in childhood is associated with adulthood obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and future metabolic complications. The gut microbiome is a modifier of host metabolic function with altered bacterial composition associated with disease risk. Few studies have investigated the relationships between metabolic disease, inflammation and the gut microbiota in youth where these connections likely originate. Here we characterized the gut microbiome of a cohort of 56 non-diabetic adolescents with obesity using fecal DNA sequencing with absolute bacterial quantitation together with immune and metabolic profiling. We observed multi-log order variation in absolute bacterial biomass dependent on host environment and associated with bacterial taxonomic composition based on a nested case-control comparison. Participants with higher biomass displayed a healthier phenotype with higher gut microbiome diversity, lower abundance of taxa associated with inflammation and pathogenicity such as Escherichia Coli, and lower levels of neutrophil activities. Further association analysis revealed sex-dependent variation, with higher levels of insulin resistance, fasting triglycerides, and markers of neutrophil activities in male adolescents with lower bacterial biomass. Together these results suggest that intestinal bacterial biomass and composition are associated with metabolic and inflammatory dysregulation evident before T2D diagnosis and identify sex differences in microbiome-associated metabolic dysfunction in adolescents with obesity.

Nuevo registro de Laonome sp. (Annelida, Sabellidae) en aguas interiores de la Ecorregión Pampa
Authors: Ocon Carolina , Solís Marina
Published: February 2025

El género Laonome Malmgren, 1866 (Annelida: Sedentaria) pertenece a la familia Sabellidae. Una nueva especie, Laonome xeprovala, fue descrita en 2018 a partir de ejemplares hallados en el año 2009 en diferentes sitios de Europa y hasta ese momento desconocidos. En Argentina se registró por primera vez en el año 2019 en el Sistema del río Paraná y tributarios, desde Santa Fe hasta el tramo medio-inferior, determinándose mediante estudios moleculares que se trataba de la misma especie hallada en Europa. En el presente trabajo se registraron especímenes de este género en noviembre de 2022 en la localidad de General Lavalle, en tres sitios del Canal 2 (canal artificial que vuelca sus aguas en la zona estuarina del Río de la Plata), siendo hasta la fecha el registro más austral. Las muestras donde fueron hallados estos ejemplares se tomaron del bentos y de la vegetación asociada con draga Ekman y red de “tipo D”. Los organismos presentes fueron identificados y cuantificados. Los ejemplares de “poliquetos” fueron asignados a nivel de género por caracteres morfológicos mediante el uso de bibliografía y por comparación con ejemplares obtenidos en otros sitios de la Cuenca del Plata por otros investigadores. La identificación será oportunamente confirmada mediante análisis moleculares. Se determinó la densidad, la cual mostró valores entre 4 y 66 ind/m2. En relación con los macroinvertebrados se observó un importante porcentaje de crustáceos en los dos sitios más cercanos a la desembocadura (valores de densidad relativa entre 40 y 70%), coincidente con aguas más salobres, mientras que en el restante sitio predominaron los insectos (valores mayores al 50%).

Hybrid machine learning for flood prediction: comparing CHIRPS satellite and ground station data
Authors: Rachmawardani Agustina , Kurniawan Budhy , Wijaya Sastra Kusuma , Sopaheluwakan Ardhasena , Sinambela Marzuki
Published: February 2025

Flooding in Jakarta is a multifaceted issue influenced by a combination of geographical, social, economic, and environmental factors. This study focuses on predicting floods by comparing automatic rain gauge (ARG) ground station data and Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation (CHIRPS) satellite data using the Adaptive Neurofuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) integrated with principal component analysis (PCA). The dataset includes precipitation measurements from both ARG and CHIRPS along with water level data spanning from 2014 to 2020. ARG provides precise local rainfall data, while CHIRPS offers extensive regional precipitation coverage. To enhance data quality, preprocessing techniques such as mean imputation, data normalisation, and the interquartile range (IQR) method were employed. The ANFIS-PCA model, which integrates fuzzy logic and neural network training, was applied using an 80:20 split for training and validation. When trained with ARG ground station data and water level measurements, the ANFIS-PCA model demonstrated superior accuracy, achieving a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.13, mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.12, and R2 of 0.82. In contrast, the ANFIS model without PCA yielded higher errors, with RMSE 6.3, MAE 6.2, and R2 0.74. Training with CHIRPS satellite data resulted in significantly higher errors (RMSE 30.14, MAE 24.05, R2 0.42). These findings underscore the superiority of ground-based measurements for flood prediction, given the reduced precision and higher susceptibility to errors in satellite-derived data. While CHIRPS satellite data offers broader spatial coverage, its limitation in precision and higher susceptibility to errors reduce its effectiveness for accurate flood prediction.

The article is devoted to the use of neural networks in teach­ing English to the students of non-linguistic universities. Neural networks being a case of artificial intelligence are considered as a tool helping to design individualized exercises for English classes. The advantages of neural networks as well as two exact programs which can be used in education are presented.

The article shows how effectively using this tool, teachers can improve the quality of the English language teaching, while increasing the motivation and success of mastering the language material by students, creating high-quality educational content optimized for the students’ individual needs. Some attention is paid to how neural networks can reduce the preparation time for classes and optimize the working process of a teacher. Besides the benefits of neural networks their repercussions are also ad­dressed, stressing the importance of teacher’s control in terms of the level and curriculum relevance as well as appropriateness of the content.

The object of the study is business terminology extracted mainly from The Longman Business English Dictionary. The sub­ject of the study is differentiation of non-phraseological terms and terms of idiomatic nature. The research is targeted at reveal­ing the co-relation between terminology and phraseology among business terms on the one hand and between the groups of busi­ness terms of different degree of idiomaticity. The theoretical background of the research embraces the following items: (a) the theory of the term suggested by V. M. Leichik, (b) the theory of English phraseology created by A.V.Kunin and the method of phraseological identification introduced by the scholar into lin­guistics. The research results in the following points (a) revealing the percentage co-relation between non-phraseological termi­nology and idiomatic terminology, (b) differentiating PU-terms depending on the degree of semantic transfer. The outcome of the study can be used in the course of business English for senior students who are familiar with the courses of English phraseol­ogy and terminology.

Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Galikhanova F. , Musina A. ,   Kazan Federal University
Published: February 2025

The article studies a cognitive aspect of strategies for translating humor in movies based on the English-language version of the feature film “Pixels” and its dubbed versions in Russian and Turkish. The subject of the study is the strategies of trans­lating the humor of the film “Pixels” into Russian and Turkish. Examples of translating verbal humor into Russian and Turkish are illustrated on the basis of such research methods as compar­ative analysis, content analysis and quantitative analysis. The purpose of the article is to analyze the cognitive component within translation of humorous utterances into Russian and Turkish. The result of the study is the identification of universal strategies for translating the humor of a comedy film, where ad­aptation of cultural, phonetic, and lexical character plays the main role in Russian dubbing, and the tendency of literal trans­lation is characteristic of Turkish dubbing. The obtained results contribute to the study of the theory and practice of audiovisual translation, the theory and practice of translation, as well as the stylistics of the language. The main conclusions contribute to the methodological basis for continuing research on this topic.

Published: February 2025

The paper discusses questions of quality enhancement in foreign language textbooks for non-linguistic students. It aims at working out a set of criteria, which can help teachers to assess textbooks adequately. These criteria can be worked out on the analysis of innovative educational textbooks published over the past decade in different Russian regions. The paper presents these criteria classified in two groups: parameters of methodo­logical quality of a textbook for university students learning a foreign language in a professionally oriented context (including its basic methodological principles and its characteristic features as a means of organizing the educational process), as well as parameters pertaining to its editorial and publishing quality. Teachers and course designers can use these criteria as a guideline when designing efficient teaching materials in a contempo­rary educational setting.
The Model of the Multiplicative Approach Implementation in Teaching Students of a Pedagogical University
Authors:   Moscow City University, Krjuchkova O.
Published: February 2025

The article examines in detail the application of the multi­plicative approach in teaching foreign languages, focusing on the importance of this approach in the era of digitalization of edu­cation. The author conducts an in-depth analysis of the use of the multiplicative approach, which initially found its application in the fields of economics and psychology, to improve the quali­ty and effectiveness of foreign language learning. The study is based on the common European system of assessment of foreign language proficiency, which offers a standardized method of as­sessment and training. One of the key goals of the authors is to coordinate educational multimedia content with the levels and sublevels of learning a foreign language and various types of speech activity. The conclusions of the study emphasize that the multiplicative approach contributes to a more active participa­tion of the student in various forms of speech activity, which in turn leads to a significant improvement in the level of foreign language proficiency. This opens up new opportunities for opti­mizing the process of teaching foreign languages.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Brasília Teddy Bear Hospital Project (TBH) as a health education strategy for children.
 
Theoretical Framework: Children may have a negative perception of hospital environments, generating fear and anxiety, a condition known as iatrophobia.
 
Method: A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test study that included school-age children treated in public schools and two public hospitals. Data collection was based on forms used in the dynamics with the children, which contained information about the clinical cases prepared by each participating child for their respective “bear-patient”: the teddy bear’s main complaints, medications prescribed, imaging tests performed, and surgical procedures. In addition, each form contained information about the emotional state of each child at the beginning of the dynamic and at its conclusion.
 
Results And Discussion: A total of 767 children were included in the study. There was a significant change in the negative perception of many children regarding hospital procedures and environments. Sick children reported more health problems in their bear-patients compared to healthy children in schools (1.67 X 1.38 respectively; p < 0.001). In schools, girls converted more feelings of happiness than boys.
 
Research Implications: Play as a method of approaching health issues can be quite effective in the pediatric age-group
 
Originality/Value: The high rate of conversion of negative feelings to positive feelings at the end of the dynamics may indicate the therapeutic and prophylactic effect of TBH on iatrophobia in the pediatric age-group.
