Authors: Dobroslavić Tatjana , Conides Alexis , Sulić Šprem Jadranka , Glamuzina Branko , Bartulović Vlasta
Published: July 2021

This study provides the first data on the reproductive biology of the spiny gurnard Lepidotrigla dieuzeidei. A total of 1027 individuals were collected monthly from September 2011 to August 2012. The total length
of the individuals in the sample ranged from 7.46 cm to 14.62 cm with a female to male ratio of 1 to 0.59. Positive allometric growth was observed for both females (b=3.07) and males (b=3.08). Variations of condition factor were similar in both sexes with
mean values of 1.07 for females and 1.01 for males. The fish L. dieuzeidei had a long spawning period extending from November to July based on monthly values of gonadosomatic index. Histological analysis showed that this fish was multiple synchronous developments of ovaries with multiple spawning events. The ovaries were always represented with a
group of primary oocytes and a diverse population of vitel-logenic oocytes, each specially recruited during the final stages of maturation in uniform or uneven phases. Batch fecundity was estimated gravimetrically using the hydrated oocyte method and was estimated to be around 558 to 10.230 oocytes per female. L. dieuzeidei is an important by-catch species and data from this study represent a valuable contribution to stock management.
First record of the endemic anthozoan Spinimuricea klavereni (Carpine & Grasshoff 1975) (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Plexauridae) in the Adriatic Sea
Authors: Mačić Vesna , Trainito Egidio , Petović Slavica
Published: July 2021

We present the first record of the endemic Mediterranean anthozoan Spinimuricea klavereni (Carpine & Grasshoff 1975) (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Plexauridae) for the
Adriatic Sea (Boka Kotorska bay, Montenegro). A density of 0.72 colonies m-2 could be measured in the area, which was com-pared with the
scant available data in the literature. Having in mind that this species is very rare and endemic for the Mediterranean, it is important to increase our knowledge on its distribution and biology in order to better assess its ecological role, the pending threats and the need for specific conservation measures.
First record of Eualus drachi Noël, 1978 (Decapoda: Caridea) in the Adriatic Sea
Authors: Kirinčić Marin , Ugarković Pero
Published: July 2021

Three specimens of decapod shrimp Eualus drachi Noël, 1978, were found in the red coral rem-nant collected for commercial purposes near the island Sveti Andrija, Croatia. It is the first record of this species in
the Adriatic Sea. The decapod biodiversity of deeper coralligenous habitats, such as the red coral colonies, is poorly investigated in contrast to coastal areas and soft bottoms of traditional trawling grounds. This paper highlights the usefulness of examining the remnants of a commercial coral extraction originating
from previously less investigated marine habitats in order to improve the knowledge on the biodiversity of such habitats.

What Do We Mean When We Ask for More Metastatic Breast Cancer Research?
Authors: Badovinac Kimberly , Douglas Heather , Hays Catherine
Published: July 2021

Background: Almost all deaths from breast cancer are due to metastasis. People living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and their loved ones have been concerned about the lack of research progress. The purposes of this paper were to analyze breast cancer research spending in Canada, and to evaluate whether MBC research was aligned with patient priorities. The results from the MBC Priority Setting Partnership (MBC PSP) were used as an approximation of patient priorities. Methods: The data source was the Canadian Cancer Research Survey. MBC projects were identified and mapped to the patient priorities.Results: This analysis found that 18% of breast cancer research investment was directed to MBC, with a large proportion of this research investment focused on the biology of metastasis. Four of the top 10 MBC PSP priorities had not been addressed: optimal sequence of therapy, role of continuous versus intermittent treatment, benefits of early palliative care, and best methods for patient education. Conclusion: These figures provide a baseline from which any increases in MBC research and improved alignment to patient priorities can be measured. A cooperative effort by funders, researchers, patients, caregivers, and health care providers is needed to address research gaps.
Optimisation of Cell Wall Lipids Extraction from Oil Palm using Mixture of Chloroform and Methanol via Response Surface Methodology
Authors: Chong Khim Phin
Published: July 2021

Understanding oil palm’s cell wall lipid during pathogenic invasion, especially from Ganoderma fungus helps us to devise better strategies in managing Basal Stem Rot caused by the fungus effectively. However, as the lipids of plant’s cell wall is a delicate subject, while acquiring them in ample amount with decent quality for research purpose is an excruciating work, therefore it is crucial to develops an optimised method for acquisition. In this study, the effects of solvent ratio, extraction time, extraction temperature and biomass to solvent ratio pertaining effective lipids extraction from oil palm roots cell wall were investigated, aided with Central Composite design (CCD) of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) analysis to obtain optimum oil palm cell wall lipid extraction conditions. Using the projection of RSM model and validation of empirical evaluation, the results revealed that the optimum cell wall lipids yield was obtained under the following extraction conditions: 10 mL of solvent mixture (chloroform: methanol (2:1, v/v)) per gram tissue for 120 min with gentle agitation at 30˚C of extraction temperature. Ultimately, Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was carried out to validate the successful and complete extraction were achieved using the optimised condition.
A Review on the Behaviour of Combined Stone Columns and Pile Foundations in Soft Soils when Placed under Rigid Raft Foundation
Authors: Ahmed Danish , Bt Taib Siti Noor Linda , Ayadat Tahar , Hasan Alsidqi
Published: July 2021

In the last few decades, it has been observed that raft foundations are very commonly used as a foundation solution for moderate to high rise structures either by resting on stone columns or on piles in soft soils. It is believed that, combining stone columns and piles in one foundation system is the more suitable foundation for medium rise structures. The combined foundation system provides a superior and more economical alternative to pile, and a more attractive alternative to stone columns in respect to ground improvement. This paper presents the review of existing studies reported in the literature in the last two decades about the behaviour of stone columns under raft foundations and piled raft foundation in soft soil, notably the failure mechanism and the bearing capacity. Also, a limited work from the literature concerning the performance of combined (pile/stone columns) foundation system in soft soil is comprised. Furthermore, very extensive ongoing research work regarding the investigation and study on the performance of combined (pile/stone columns) foundation system in soft soils is discussed. The main goals and methodology to study the performance of the combined (pile/stone columns) foundation systems in soft soil are also addressed.

Polytriarylamine (PTAA) is a promising yet trending organic semiconductor material in which has unique characteristics that are low-cost fabrication, flexible and stable in room condition. The unique characteristic of PTAA thin films have attracted researchers to explore more on its ability as future green technology solutions. In this works, the effect of annealing temperature towards PTAA thin films are focused. PTAA thin films is fabricated by solution processed technique and sintered onto the glass substrate by spin coating method. The spin coating speed are 1000 RPM to 5000 RPM. The PTAA thin films are further annealed for an hour with temperatures of 80 oC, 120 oC and 150 oC. It is shown that grain size of thin films are increasing as the temperature increased based on XRD analysis. As for 1000 to 5000 RPM, the highest grain size obtain are 26.46 nm, 31.34 nm, 37.19 nm, 39.96 nm and 42.72 nm, respectively. Optical characteristic also reveals that band gap energy value is perpendicular to the increasing in temperature obtain from the UV-Vis spectrum. The results strongly show that annealing temperature had significantly affected both structural and optical properties of PTAA thin films.

Truth, Superassertability, and Conceivability
Authors: Hoffmann Glen A
Published: July 2021

The superassertability theory of truth, inspired by Crispin Wright (1992, 2003), holds that a statement is true iff it is superassertable in the following sense: it possesses warrant that cannot be defeated by any improvement of our information. While initially promising, the superassertability theory of truth is vulnerable to a persistent difficulty highlighted by Van Cleve (1996) and Horgan (1995) but not properly fleshed out: it is formally/informally illegitimate in a similar sense that unsophisticated epistemic theories of truth (theories that identify truth with bare warranted assertability) are widely acknowledged to be. Sustained analysis reveals that the unrestricted formal/informal legitimacy argument is firmly grounded in first-person conceivability/possibility evidence.
Risk perceptions, attitudes, and knowledge of chikungunya among the public and health professionals: a systematic review
Authors: Corrin Tricia , Waddell Lisa , Greig Judy , Young Ian , Hierlihy Catherine , Mascarenhas Mariola
Published: July 2021

Background
Recently, attention to chikungunya has increased due to its spread into previously non-endemic areas. Since there is no available treatment or vaccine, most intervention strategies focus on mosquito bite prevention and mosquito control, which require community involvement to be successful. Thus, our objective was to systematically review the global primary literature on the risk perceptions, attitudes, and knowledge of chikungunya among the public and health professionals to inform future research and improve our understanding on which intervention strategies are likely to be successful.
Methods
Potentially relevant articles were identified through a standardized systematic review (SR) process consisting of the following steps: comprehensive search strategy in seven databases (Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, CAB, LILACS, Agricola, and Cochrane) and a grey literature search of public health organizations, relevance screening, risk of bias assessment, and data extraction. Two independent reviewers performed each step. Reporting of this SR follows PRISMA reporting guidelines.
Results
Thirty-seven relevant articles were identified. The majority of the articles were published since 2011 (83.8%) and reported on studies conducted in Asia (48.7%) and the Indian Ocean Islands (24.3%). The results were separated into four categories: general knowledge and perceptions on chikungunya; perceptions on the risk and severity of chikungunya; knowledge of chikungunya-harboring vectors and transmission; and knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes on mitigation practices. Overall, the systematic review found that risk perceptions, attitudes, and knowledge of chikungunya among the public and health professionals vary across populations and countries and knowledge is higher in areas that have experienced an outbreak.
Conclusion
The results suggest that most of the affected populations in this study do not understand mosquito borne diseases or chikungunya and are therefore less likely to protect themselves from mosquito bites. While more research is required to improve the generalizability of this dataset, it appears that a lack of knowledge is an important barrier for motivating community level interventions and personal protection against mosquitoes.

European Monetary Union: a cointegration analysis
Authors: Haug Alfred A , Michelis Leo
Published: July 2021

This paper employs systems-based cointegration techniques developed by [Reference to Johansen] and [Reference to Johansen] to determine which European Union countries would form a successful Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), based on long-run behavior of the nominal convergence criteria laid down in the Maastricht treaty. The original 12 European Union countries are analyzed together. Nominal exchange rates, real exchange rates, long-term interest rates, and government budget deficits are each analyzed for co-movements among the 12 countries and various subgroups of them. The results suggest that not all of the 12 original countries of the European Union can form a successful EMU over time, unless several countries make significant adjustments.
Facial Expressions and Emotional Singing: A Study of Perception and Production with Motion Capture and Electromyography
Authors: Russo Frank , Livingstone Steven R , Forde Thompson William
Published: July 2021

Facial expressions are used in music performance to communicate structural and emotional intentions. Exposure to emotional facial expressions also may lead to subtle facial movements that mirror those expressions. Seven participants were recorded with motion capture as they watched and imitated phrases of emotional singing. Four different participants were recorded using facial electromyography (EMG) while performing the same task. Participants saw and heard recordings of musical phrases sung with happy, sad, and neutral emotional connotations. They then imitated the target stimulus, paying close attention to the emotion expressed. Facial expressions were monitored during four epochs: (a) during the target; (b) prior to their imitation; (c) during their imitation; and (d) after their imitation. Expressive activity was observed in all epochs, implicating a role of facial expressions in the perception, planning, production, and post-production of emotional singing.
Designing the Model Human Cochlea: An Ambient Crossmodal Audio-Tactile Display
Authors: Karam Maria , Russo Frank , Fels Deborah
Published: July 2021

We present a Model Human Cochlea (MHC), a sensory substitution technique and system that translates auditory information into vibrotactile stimuli using an ambient, tactile display. The model is used in the current study to translate music into discrete vibration signals displayed along the back of the body using a chair form factor. Voice coils facilitate the direct translation of auditory information onto the multiple discrete vibrotactile channels, which increases the potential to identify sections of the music that would otherwise be masked by the combined signal. One of the central goals of this work has been to improve accessibility to the emotional information expressed in music for users who are Deaf or hard of hearing. To this end, we present our prototype of the MHC, two models of sensory substitution to support the translation of existing and new music, and some of the design challenges encountered throughout the development process. Results of a series of experiments conducted to assess the effectiveness of the MHC are discussed, followed by an overview of future directions for this research.
Survivor research in Canada: ‘Talking’ recovery, resisting psychiatry, and reclaiming madness
Authors: Landry Danielle
Published: July 2021

Beginning with discussion of what constitutes survivor research in Canada, this paper presents the findings of a critical discourse analysis of published accounts of survivor-led research over the last twenty-five years. Though they are varied,
these texts demonstrate a rhetorical shift from a focus on the individual mind/body out to the social world experienced by psychiatric consumer/survivors. Findings indicate that survivor-led research engages with recovery discourse in numerous, sometimes problematic ways, in order to push back against dominant biomedical and psychiatric discourses. Further, new language is being generated for understanding madness and distress, rooted in a survivor perspective

Learning the Special Note: Evidence for a critical period for absolute pitch acquisition
Authors: Russo Frank , Windell Deborah L , Cuddy Lola L
Published: July 2021

Children (3–6 years old) and adults were trained for 6 weeks to identify a single tone, C5. Test sessions, held at the end of each week, had participants identify C5 within a set of seven alternative tones. By the third week of training, identification accuracy of children 5–6 years old surpassed the accuracies of children 3–4 years old and adults. Combined with an analysis of perceptual strategies, the data provide strong support for a critical period for absolute pitch acquisition.
A biomechanical assessment of modular and monoblock revision hip implants using FE analysis and strain gage measurements
Authors: Bougherara Habiba , Zdero Rad , Shah Suraj , Niric Milan , Papini Marcello , Zalzal Paul , Schemitsch Emil H.
Published: July 2021

Background: The bone loss associated with revision surgery or pathology has been the impetus for developing modular revision total hip prostheses. Few studies have assessed these modular implants quantitatively from a mechanical standpoint.
Methods: Three-dimensional finite element (FE) models were developed to mimic a hip implant alone (Construct A) and a hip implant-femur configuration (Construct B). Bonded contact was assumed for all interfaces to simulate long-term bony on growth and stability. The hip implants modeled were a Modular stem having two interlocking parts (Zimmer Modular Revision Hip System, Zimmer, Warsaw, IN, USA) and a Monoblock stem made from a single piece of material (Stryker Restoration HA Hip System, Stryker, Mahwah, NJ, USA). Axial loads of 700 and 2000 N were applied to Construct A and 2000 N to Construct B models. Stiffness, strain, and stress were computed. Mechanical tests using axial loads were used for Construct A to validate the FE model. Strain gages were placed along the medial and lateral side of the hip implants at 8 locations to measure axial strain distribution.

Results: There was approximately a 3% average difference between FE and experimental strains for Construct A at all locations for the Modular implant and in the proximal region for the Monoblock implant. FE results for Construct B showed that both implants carried the majority (Modular, 76%; Monoblock, 66%) of the 2000 N load relative to the femur. FE analysis and experiments demonstrated that the Modular implant was 3 to 4.5 times mechanically stiffer than the Monoblock due primarily to geometric differences.

Conclusions: This study provides mechanical characteristics of revision hip implants at sub-clinical axial loads as an initial predictor of potential failure.
A New Look at Retest Learning in Older Adults: Learning in the Absence of Item-Specific Effects
Authors: Russo Frank , Yang Lixia , Reed Maureen J. , Wilkinson Andrea J.
Published: July 2021

We investigated retest learning (i.e., performance improvement through retest practice) in the absence of itemspecific effects (i.e., learning through memorizing or becoming familiar with specific items) with older adults.
Thirty-one older adults (ages 60 – 82 years, M = 71.10, SD = 6.27) participated in an eight-session self-guided retest
program. To eliminate item-specific effects, parallel versions of representative psychometric measures for Inductive Reasoning, Perceptual Speed, and Visual Attention were developed and administered across retest sessions.
The results showed substantial non-item-specific retest learning, even controlling for anxiety, suggesting that retest learning in older adults can occur at a more conceptual level.
Characterization of chia plant (Salvia hispanica) for pulping
Authors: FERDOUS TASLIMA , QUAIYYUM M.A. , ARAFAT KAZI M. YASIN , JAHAN M. SARWAR
Published: July 2021

In this paper, chia plant was characterized in terms of chemical, morphological, and anatomical properties. Chia plant was characterized with low α-cellulose (30.5%); moderate lignin (23.2%) with syringyl to guaiacyl ratio of 1.41; and shorter fiber length (0.67 mm) with thinner cell wall (1.91 μm) and good flexibility coefficient (71.44). Anatomical features showed that chia plant consists of vessels, fibers, parenchyma cells, and collenchyma cells. Chia plant pulping was evaluated in soda-anthraquinone (soda-AQ) and formic acid/peroxyformic acid (FA/PFA) processes. Chia plant was difficult to delignify in the alkaline process. The FA/PFA process produced higher pulp yield at the same kappa number than the soda-AQ process. Unbleached soda-AQ chia pulp exhibited good proper-ties in terms of tensile, bursting, and tearing strengths, even at the unrefined stage, due to high drainability of the pulps. Alkaline peroxide bleached FA/PFA pulp exhibited better papermaking properties and 2% higher brightness than the D0(EP)D1 bleached soda-AQ pulp.
Equilibrium moisture content in wet pressing of paper
Authors: KEREKES RICHARD , MCDONALD DAVID
Published: July 2021

Equilibrium moisture is a limiting factor in achieving high solids in the later stages of pressing or pressing low basis weight grades. We have developed a model that relates equilibrium moisture directly to the pore size distribution of fibers as measured by the solute exclusion technique. The model shows that chemical pulping and refining increase equilibrium moisture by increasing pore volume at given pore sizes in fibers, which leads to lower pressed solids and greater energy expenditure in the dryer section. Means to increase equilibrium moisture without compromising pulp strength are briefly discussed.
Viscoelastic web curl due to storage in wound rolls
Authors: PAN SHENG , AZOUG AURELIE , GOOD JAMES K.
Published: July 2021

Winding is often the final operation in a roll-to-roll manufacturing process. Web materials, i.e., materials that are thin compared to their length, are wound into rolls because this form is the only practical means to store them. The resulting bending strains and associated stresses are large for thick webs and laminates. As many webs are viscoelastic on some time scale, bending stresses lead to creep and inhomogeneous changes in length. When the web material is unwound and cut into discrete samples, a residual curvature remains. This curvature, called curl, is the inability for the web to lie flat at no tension. Curl is an undesirable web defect that causes loss of productivity in a subsequent web process. This paper describes the development and implementation of modeling and experimental tools to explore and mitigate curl in homogenous webs. Two theoretical and numerical methods that allow the prediction of curl in a web are developed: a winding software based on bending recovery theory, and the implementation of dynamic simulations of winding. One experimental method is developed that directly measures the curl online by taking advantage of the anticlastic bending resulting from the curl. These methods are demonstrated for a low-density polyethylene web.

There has been a proliferation of new sensors to measure on-machine dirt specks that employ different technologies and methodologies to perform measurements. The differences in the on-machine technologies are discussed in terms of the TAPPI and ISO standard laboratory test methods with respect to dirt detection using light reflected from, or light transmitted through, the sheet. Also discussed are the requirements for measuring statistically representative areas of the sheet; the difference between the dirt physical size and Equivalent Black Area (EBA) size; and the implication of these issues when specifying cleanliness acceptance criteria.
This technical brief describes on-machine visible dirt measurement’s relationship to standard laboratory testing.
A case study review of wood ash land application programs in North America
Authors: LAMA ILICH , SAIN DEREK
Published: July 2021

Several regulatory agencies and universities have published guidelines addressing the use of wood ash as liming material for agricultural land and as a soil amendment and fertilizer. This paper summarizes the experiences collected from several forest products facility-sponsored agricultural application programs across North America. These case studies are characterized in terms of the quality of the wood ash involved in the agricultural application, approval requirements, recommended management practices, agricultural benefits of wood ash, and challenges confronted by ash generators and farmers during storage, handling, and land application of wood ash. Reported benefits associated with land-applying wood ash include increasing the pH of acidic soils, improving soil quality, and increasing crop yields. Farmers apply wood ash on their land because in addition to its liming value, it has been shown to effectively fertilize the soil while maintaining soil pH at a level that is optimal for plant growth. Given the content of calcium, potassium, and magnesium that wood ash supplies to the soil, wood ash also improves soil tilth. Wood ash has also proven to be a cost-effective alternative to agricultural lime, especially in rural areas where access to commercial agricultural lime is limited. Some of the challenges identified in the review of case studies include lengthy application approvals in some jurisdictions; weather-related issues associated with delivery, storage, and application of wood ash; maintaining consistent ash quality; inaccurate assessment of required ash testing; potential increased equipment maintenance; and misconceptions on the part of some farmers and government agencies regarding the effect and efficacy of wood ash on soil quality and crop productivity.

This paper reports the use of multicriteria analysis in the Analyze phase of the DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) cycle for continuous improvement. The research was carried out in a tissue paper factory located in southern Brazil. A sample of 64 parts of 16 different reels of recycled paper was used. A problem regarding paper quality variability was detected, presenting a scrap index ranging between 9% and 23%, compromising machine productivity and product sales. This motivated the implementation of a structured project supported by the application of the DMAIC cycle.
The project team (machine operators, maintenance staff, supervisor, and data analyst) defined the evaluation criteria and determined the control intervals and their equivalence with linguistic variables to support the necessary evaluations for the application of fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution). The criteria were C1-Longitudinal Strength (Kgf), C2-Longitudinal Elongation (mm), C3-Cross-strength (kgf), C4-Cross-elongation (mm), C5-Weight (g/m²), and C6-Humidity (%).
The results showed that samples with the same ranking had the lowest scrap indexes in the subsequent process. Also, the criterion C5 had a more significant impact on the quality of the product than the other criteria, which was determined from the DMAIC sequence. Improvements related to C5 should be prioritized. The fuzzy TOPSIS method presented is a flexible tool, adapting itself to the solution of the problem and contributing to the decision-making process.

EXPLORAÇÃO DA MÃO DE OBRA ESCRAVA RURAL NA CONTEMPORANEIDADE: ESTUDO DE CASOS RELACIONADOS AOS TERRITÓRIOS DO VALE DO JEQUITINHONHA – MINAS GERAIS
Authors: Andrade Farina Amanda Koch , Teodoro Martins Pacelli Henrique
Published: July 2021

Conforme dados divulgados pelo Ministério Público do Trabalho, no período de 1995 a 2018, foram resgatados 53.607 trabalhadores em condições análogas à de escravo no Brasil, nos termos do art. 149 do Código Penal Brasileiro, dos quais 70% se encontravam em territórios rurais. Diante desta realidade, o objetivo do artigo é explorar a noção de trabalho escravo contemporâneo, demonstrando como o mesmo se manifesta no Vale do Jequitinhonha, estado de Minas Gerais, e sua intrínseca relação com o processo histórico da região. Para tanto, além da discussão teórica e revisão bibliográfica sobre a temática central, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental para a coleta de dados sobre os resgates realizados. A partir dos resultados apresentados, conclui-se que o trabalho escravo contemporâneo serve à lógica do capitalismo dependente e, por isso, sua extinção está subordinada a uma mudança estrutural, que necessita de complexas transformações territoriais em longo prazo.
INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR EVALUATION OF THE STATE OF INTOXICATION OF THE ORGANISM BASED ON THE BAYES NETWORK

Published: July 2021

An expert system is a computer program that simulates the judgment and behavior of a human or an organization that has expert knowledge and experience in a particular field. It is a program that emulates the interaction a user might have with a human expert to solve a problem. The end user provides input by selecting one or more answers from a list or by entering data. An Expert System is a problem solving and decision making system based on knowledge of its task and logical rules or procedures for using knowledge. Both the knowledge and the logic are obtained from the experience of a specialist in the area. This paper considers approaches to building a knowledge base for medical systems. In developing the knowledge base of the information system, Bayesian networks were chosen as the basis for the decision-making model by type of patient pathology. This choice was due to the availability of these networks the ability to work with uncertain knowledge used in the diagnosis of diseases, in choosing the optimal course of treatment and subsequent prediction of patients. In addition, they offer the most adequate formal representation of inaccurate knowledge, as they are the result of a synthesis of statistical methods of data analysis and artificial intelligence. The presence of hydrosulfide ion intoxication (HS-intoxication), divalent iron ion intoxication (Fe-intoxication), the patient's absence of pathology and the value of Ag2S and Pt electrode potentials were selected as nodes of this network. Based on the accumulated experience of monitoring the condition of patients during their postoperative treatment (data obtained in collaboration with Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University), as well as experimental data, conditional probabilities of values that can take the readings of the electrodes were established.
Experimental testing of the adequacy of the proposed and implemented model was performed on an array of data from potentiometric measurements of patients' biomaterial. The prediction made by the network was taken as the node that had the highest probability of being in a state that indicates the presence of a pathology. Comparison of the results of the network with data obtained by other methods showed their convergence in 85% of cases.
Thus, the developed network can be used to facilitate the process of diagnosing the presence and type of intoxication of the patient and is included in the information system for monitoring the patient's condition.
