Authors: Rodrigues Ferreira Lilian Aparecida , Burci Lígia Moura
Published: February 2025

O papel da cannabis na medicina está evoluindo rapidamente. O THC e o CBD, os canabinóides proeminentes encontrados na cannabis, têm sido utilizados no desenvolvimento de medicamentos aprovados para uso em vários países. Avanços na compreensão da farmacologia da cannabis levaram a inúmeras propostas de usos dessas drogas, inclusive como agentes antidepressivos ou analgésicos. O  presente  estudo  tem  como  objetivo entender como estão os estudos sobre a fisiopatologia da fibromialgia, os tratamentos utilizados atualmente, e as bases para o tratamento utilizando os canabinoides. Trata-se  de  um  estudo  de  revisão  de  literatura  do  tipo  exploratório-descritivo, com caráter qualitativo, mediante levantamento bibliográfico de artigos indexados nas bases  de  dados:  BVS, Pubmed  e SciELO,  que  estejam  de  acordo  com  os  objetivos  do estudo. Investigações  pré-clínicas  e  clínicas  vieram  elucidar  a  relação  do  sistema endocanabinoide com  as  mais diversas patologias, entre elas a fibromialgia. Os resultados dos ensaios clínicos nem sempre são concordantes entre si, pelo que a evidência atual não é suficiente para concluir da eficácia destes na fibromialgia. Serão necessários mais ensaios clínicos de maior dimensão e duração para aferir a eficácia e a segurança a longo prazo destes fármacos no tratamento da fibromialgia.

Published: February 2025

Today there is a danger of spreading Ixodes ticks, which can cause Lyme disease, which is characterized by polysystemic lesions. As a rule, treatment involves antibiotic therapy. We studied the effectiveness of apitherapy by bee sting method in the complex treatment of patients with Lyme arthritis. Patients were prescribed a course of bee stings from 1 to 15 bee stings once every other day, a total of 102 stings. After a course of apitherapy, patients had significantly reduced or eliminated pain in the spine and joints, there was a significant decrease in IgM during bee stings between courses of antibiotic therapy and IgG in tests performed after a course of treatment with bees. Apitherapy can have a pronounced antibacterial effect over the next 2 years. In addition to these findings, further observations indicated that the immunomodulatory effects of bee venom may play a crucial role in mitigating inflammatory responses. Patients not only experienced relief from pain but also reported improved mobility and overall quality of life. The gradual reduction in specific antibody levels suggests that the bee sting treatment may help recalibrate the immune system over time. This additional benefit, coupled with the direct antibacterial properties of the venom, positions apitherapy as a promising complementary treatment approach. Continued research into the long-term effects is warranted to better understand its full therapeutic potential. Moreover, the observed improvements were supported by both subjective patient reports and objective clinical measurements. The treatment appeared to modulate the inflammatory cascade associated with Lyme arthritis, leading to fewer flare-ups and a reduction in joint stiffness. This innovative method also showed potential in preventing further joint degradation, thereby extending its benefit beyond immediate pain relief. Future studies are needed to explore the optimal dosing, frequency, and possible synergies with conventional antibiotic therapies, ensuring that patients receive the most effective comprehensive care.

Authors: Kim Hyoung Bok , Kim Seong Hun
Published: February 2025

Background: In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of chronic retraced rotator cuff tears in which complete footprint coverage is not achievable between two treatment approaches: footprint medialization with bone marrow stimulation and conventional incomplete repair techniques.Methods: This retrospective study included 87 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with incomplete footprint coverage. The included patients were divided into group 1 (54 patients with footprint medialization and bone marrow stimulation) and group 2 (33 patients with conventional repair). Medialization and bone marrow stimulation were performed if the tendon did not cover a footprint of ≥1 cm2. Clinical outcomes, including a visual analog scale for pain score, range of motion, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Constant score, and patient satisfaction, were evaluated preoperatively and at follow-up. Radiological healing was assessed using magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography arthrography at 6 months and ultrasound at 2 years.Results: Both groups showed significant improvements in clinical outcomes from preoperative levels. Group 1 demonstrated better outcomes in all measures at the final follow-up than Group 2. Active range of motion improved significantly in both groups, with no significant postoperative differences. At 2 years postoperatively, group 1 had a significantly lower retear rate (14.8%) than group 2 (36.4%) (P=0.020). Conclusions: In this study, the group that underwent footprint medialization and bone marrow stimulation for chronic retracted rotator cuff tears, in which complete footprint coverage was not possible, exhibited a lower retear rate and better clinical outcomes than the group that underwent conventional incomplete repair, with a minimum follow-up period of 2 years.Level of Evidence: III.

Football Player Value Prediction: Comparing Machine Learning Models with Cross-Validation
Authors: Kong Yitong
Published: February 2025

The project mainly focuses on the evaluation of different models used in order to predict the current value of football players based on a dataset from Kaggle. Three models-random forest, gradient boosting, and ridge regression-are being examined using key indicators such as R-squared (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). A cross-validation process is applied to ensure the robustness of the model evaluations. Among these models, the gradient boosting model is the most suitable since it provides the lowest RMSE and the highest R2 indicating high accuracy. A young, robust, and healthy player who has had a high market value in the past or present is more likely to have a high current value. The research aims to provide team managers with a relatively accurate model to predict player’s market value. At the same time, this study can help players understand which factors impact the most in terms of current value, encouraging them to improve themselves in certain areas.
The Study of Character under the Application of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Zuo Yanchen
Published: February 2025

Character analysis in drama is a core issue in drama research, performance teaching and drama creation. However, traditional character analysis methods mainly rely on textual close reading, dramatic criticism, and actors' practical experience, and lack objective and systematic quantitative analysis means. With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, especially the maturity of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Emotion Computing technology, the use of AI means to analyze the character of drama is gradually becoming an emerging method in the field of drama research. Character classification is an important element in theater research, psychology and AI text analysis. Different disciplines have different approaches to character classification, and in theater research, character classification helps to understand character motivation, action logic, and their performance in dramatic situations. In AI analysis, character classification is usually done with the help of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques to extract features from play texts and classify them. In this paper, through the interdisciplinary combination of artificial intelligence technology and dramatic character analysis, taking Ibn in Desire Under the Elm Tree as an example, we discuss how to utilize methods such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Sentiment Analysis (Sentiment Analysis), and Social Network Analysis (SNA), to carry out the study of dramatic character from multiple perspectives such as textual features, emotional tendencies, and character relationships. Systematic research. Combined with traditional theories of drama, such as Stanislavski's Action Analysis, Freud's psychological theories, and modern personality classification models (Big Five Personality, MBTI, etc.), this study demonstrates the potential value of AI technology in drama research.

The Quantum Hall effect, a remarkable phenomenon in physics, has had a profound impact on metrology and sensor technologies. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of its implementation in these fields. The historical development of the QHE is traced, from the initial discovery of the Hall effect to the integer, fractional, and quantum anomalous Hall effects. The fundamental concepts, including different classifications and their characteristics, are elucidated. The applications in metrology, such as providing highly accurate resistance standards and determining fundamental constants, and in sensors, like those used in automotive and power systems, are detailed with their underlying principles and results. The limitations, mainly related to extreme experimental conditions, and the promising future prospects, e.g., the search for new materials and expanded application domains, are also discussed. The research is significant as it offers a valuable resource for understanding the current state and potential future directions of the QHE's utilization in metrology and sensor applications.
Collagen-based Bio-scaffolds in Bone Tissue Regeneration Research
Authors: Liu Zhuoxin
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the role of collagen-based bio-scaffolds in bone tissue regeneration, focusing on their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and mechanical strength-key properties that influence their efficacy in promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Collagen's natural origin and resemblance to the extracellular matrix make it an ideal material for scaffolds that can support and guide bone healing. The bio-scaffolds' biodegradability ensures a controlled transition from synthetic support to natural bone tissue, minimizing long-term complications. Their high biocompatibility reduces immune responses, facilitating seamless tissue integration. Mechanical strength is tailored to provide initial stability and degrade as new bone forms, balancing the need for support with the regeneration process. Applications in facial bone reconstruction, spinal fusion, and long bone repair demonstrate the versatility of these scaffolds. Challenges such as cost-effective production and scaffold optimization for specific applications remain. Future research will address these to fully harness the potential of collagen-based bio-scaffolds in revolutionizing bone repair and regeneration strategies.

Authors: Yin Zhecheng , Shou Linpei , Ye Yushan
Published: February 2025

Accurate core loss prediction is essential for the design of high-performance magnetic components for power electronics. In this study, a modified Steinmetz's equation incorporating a temperature factor is introduced to improve the accuracy of core loss prediction. By analyzing the independent and synergistic effects of various factors on core loss using multiple linear regression, partial correlation analysis, and Bayesian factor analysis, this study applies a genetic algorithm to find the conditions for minimizing core loss and constructed a model based on the Random Forest algorithm for predicting the core loss of different materials. In addition, considering that core loss is not the only thing that affects the performance of magnetic elements, this study considers both core loss and transmitted magnetic energy and uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) to determine the optimal conditions for magnetic elements. It is shown that the modified model and optimization method can more accurately predict and optimize the performance of magnetic elements, providing a comprehensive solution for power conversion systems.
PREDICTING OUTCOME USING PEDIATRIC EARLY WARNING SYSTEM (PEWS) SCORE ON PICU ADMISSION: A STUDY FROM A LOWER-MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRY
Authors: REHMAN A , SARWAR M , SULTANA N , ABBAS S , MOIN K , PARVEEN M
Published: February 2025

Background: The Paediatric Early Warning System (PEWS) Score is a well-established tool for identifying clinical deterioration in hospitalised children and facilitating early intervention. While PEWS is primarily used in ward settings, its utility in predicting clinical outcomes at the time of admission to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), such as mortality, length of stay, and need for mechanical ventilation, has not been extensively studied, particularly in resource-limited settings. Understanding the prognostic value of PEWS in PICU could help optimise patient management and resource allocation in such environments. Objective: To assess the validity of the Paediatric Early Warning System (PEWS) score as a predictor of mortality in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at The Children's Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Study Design: Prospective cohort study. Settings: The Children's Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Duration of Study: April to July 2024. Methods: A total of 180 children admitted to the PICU were included in the study. The PEWS score was recorded at the time of admission. The primary outcome was mortality, while secondary outcomes included length of stay and the requirement for mechanical ventilation. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between PEWS scores and clinical outcomes. Results: Out of the 180 children enrolled, the overall mortality rate was 16.6%. A significant association was found between a PEWS score ≥7 at admission and increased mortality, with 75% of the deceased patients (22 out of 30) having a PEWS score ≥7 (OR = 6.2, 95% CI: 2.8–14.1, p < 0.001). This indicates that children with a higher PEWS score were more than six times as likely to die compared to those with lower scores. Additionally, higher PEWS scores were linked to longer PICU stays. Children with PEWS scores ≥7 had an average PICU stay of 10.5 days, significantly longer than those with scores <7, who stayed an average of 4.3 days (OR = 3.4, 95% CI: 1.2–9.8, p = 0.02). Furthermore, the need for mechanical ventilation was significantly higher in patients with higher PEWS scores, with 55% of patients requiring ventilator support compared to only 12% in those with PEWS scores <7 (OR = 5.1, 95% CI: 1.8–14.5, p = 0.01). Conclusion: The PEWS score is a simple and effective tool for predicting mortality risk in the PICU, particularly in low-resource settings, helping optimise resource allocation and patient management. However, it is important to continue monitoring patients with lower PEWS scores, as the system may not identify all patients at risk of deterioration. Further research could explore the integration of PEWS with other clinical markers for improved predictive accuracy.

Published: February 2025

The modern development of art education, which has been influenced by globalisation, demonstrates the relevance of studying music education processes, mainly because of the importance of musical art for the dialogue of cultures at the present stage. The article's purpose is to explore the role of music education in forming cultural identity in the modern world. A purposive sampling survey was used to achieve this goal. This method made it possible to study the opinions of teachers with experience in music education. The purposive sampling was also based on expertise, which resulted in the selection of 15 participants with different experiences in music teaching. The results indicate that ethnic culture in the music education curriculum has made it possible to teach students historical experience that supports an appropriate level of patriotism and contributes to the most common elements that influence the development of cultural identity: research on folk music, work on the study of musical history and the work of leading national composers, and the use of traditional musical instruments. The survey revealed that music education is highly effective in building cultural identity. The majority of respondents (60% of respondents) pointed to the particular importance of music education. Interactive learning, the project method, the immersion method, role-playing and dramatisation are used to develop cultural identity. The conclusions emphasise the importance of music education in the modern educational process, including the development of cultural competence.

“Mãos negras sobre retrato”: encenação e utopia na fotografia de Pierre Verger.
Authors: Lima Cláudia
Published: February 2025

Este artigo tem o intuito de associar a estética fotográfica às experiências narrativas e discursivas sobre a realidade, que se estabelecem como meios de constituição identitária dos sujeitos e das sociedades. Tais considerações podem ser evidenciadas na fotografia sobre Salvador, Bahia, de autoria de Pierre Verger, especialmente em Mãe Senhora e Mãos negras sobre Retrato. As imagens são analisadas a partir das categorias apontadas pela Teoria da Narração e dos elementos propostos pelo método fenomenológico de base Merleau-Pontyana e pelo Método Analítico Histórico, com base no pensamento de Walter Benjamin, que envolve: percepção, experiência, memória, subjetividade, tempo e espaço narrativos, bem como a voz do fotógrafo-narrador. Conclui-se que, advindo de uma estética ideológica, a fotografia é resultante de atos de encenação e representação.

Authors: Hagibrahim Youssif , Al kawadri Dima
Published: February 2025

Purpose – In order to achieve value for money, it is pivotal to assess maintenance projects at the handover and operational stages and to create a good defect report. This study highlights the importance of managing defect report to achieve better management control during the awarding of contracts for the operation and maintenance phase of buildings. The lack of best practices for defect reporting of the management of contractors results in unnecessary costs, leading to a lack of trust in the contractual relationship between parties. Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted a literature review to uncover the factors that impact defect report management during maintenance outsourcing. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed approaches were used to compare the current and best practices of defect report management and to suggest improvements and ensure better awareness of both clients and service providers. Findings – Study reports importance of involving facilities management in early stages of construction projects to reduce operation and maintenance defects and there are several factors are responsible for the quality of defect reporting: involving facilities management in the early stages of construction, controlling and pre-evaluating the contract type, payment mechanisms, contract duration, acting in mutual trust, negotiating service level agreements during mobilisation, and the adequacy of the mobilisation period. These add value to facilities management contracts and reduce operational and contractual disputes. Originality/value – This study addresses the current method and practices of defect report management, discusses its impacts on the outsourcing of maintenance activities, and turns the client’s focus towards managing the fair mobilisation and demobilisation of service providers.
Pro-Japanese Controversy in Korean Society, the carma, That Must Be Shaken Off
Authors:   Center for Civic Politics Research, Shin Bok-ryong
Published: February 2025

This essay reflects on the ongoing disputes surrounding pro-Japanese collaboration, 80 years after Korea's Liberation.
At this point in time, few can claim to be entirely free from the responsibility associated with pro-Japanese collaboration. The debate primarily stems from differing perspectives on Japan's colonial rule, contrasting those born after Liberation with those who lived through the era. It is undeniable that among the collaborators, some were self-serving and anti-nationalist. However, in many cases, collaboration with Japan was synonymous with securing jobs or survival. Criticism of pro-Japanese collaborators should not become merely “a history of scratching old wounds.”
To address this issue, several measures should be undertaken:
First, individuals who engaged in pro-Japanese activities or their descendants must sincerely repent and seek forgiveness from the public. Second, any compensation obtained through pro-Japanese activities must be recovered. Third, a “sunset law” should be established through national consensus to provide a definitive resolution. Lastly, the principle of guilt by association must be eliminated to ensure fairness.
To conclude, we should reflect on Mencius’ teachings regarding the downfall of nations: “When a nation perishes, it is because it has caused its own ruin before external forces destroyed it.” Addressing this issue requires a return to introspection and a collective effort to reconcile the vestiges of colonial history.
Political orientation and Scientific Rationalism Regarding COVID-19 Vaccination: A Study of Moms-Holic Baby Community Members
Authors:   Center for Civic Politics Research, Roh Jung Hwa
Published: February 2025

This study examines the discourse of “momcafe” members during the COVID -19 pandemic regarding COVID-19 vaccination. Members of this community pride themselves on making claims based on objective scientific facts. However, despite this pride, when deciding on vaccination, they tend to rely more on subjective attitudes and politically framed science rather then objective science. Furthermore, many of these members are often unaware of their own subjective and political biases. This issue will be explored in three specific aspects: first, the distrust of the Moon Jae-in administration and the belief in vaccine conspiracy theories under the guise of science, second, the support of government policies and emphasis on the credibility of science and technology based on personal experiences and surrounding information, and lastly, the problem of falling into confusion due to an excessive trust in science or information that is deemed scientific, leading to an uncritical acceptance of related information. The existing research on Korean housewives has largely focused on their emotions and child-rearing concerns. This study aims to uncover a new perspective on current Korean housewives by dealing with aspects that have not been examined in previous research.

Social media has emerged as an important marketing tool for companies, particularly in the food and beverage sector. This research analyzes the influence of social media on mini restaurant businesses in Sainikpuri, Hyderabad. It investigates how social media sites affect customer choice, brand awareness, and business development. The study also evaluates the influence of social media reviews, whether positive or negative, on consumer decision-making and restaurant reputation. Surveys and secondary sources were used to gather data for analyzing consumer behavior, social media ad engagement, and effectiveness of social media marketing efforts. According to the findings, social media is an important factor in customer attraction, restaurant visibility, and determining what to dine on. But negative reviews can affect businesses, and it is therefore important that restaurant owners communicate with customers online effectively. Social media marketing is, according to the study, a significant tool that can be used for business success, as long as it is strategically managed.

Deep Face Gen: Speech-Driven Face Image Synthesis
Authors: Thai P. Kamakshi , Manisha P , Reddy L. Abhigyna , Reddy M. Nagendhar
Published: February 2025

A framework based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is proposed to synthesize facial images from
audio inputs. The system aims to automatically translate large volumes of audio into understandable facial images
without human intervention. By using a GAN architecture, the model generates image features from audio waveforms
to reconstruct facial images. It is trained on a dataset of labeled examples, producing facial images corresponding to
the identities of the speakers. The method achieves an accuracy of 96.88% for ungrouped data and 93.91% for grouped
data. This approach demonstrates its capability to generate accurate facial representations from audio, offering an
automated solution for converting speech into intelligible visual data.
Keywords: Generative Adversarial Networks, facial image synthesis, audio-to-image, speech-to-visual, automated
reconstruction.
