The digital ‘grey’ divide in mental health: A scoping review of digitalized treatment options for older adults with mental illness (Preprint)
Authors: Just Sandra Anna , Stanford Jennifer Anne
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Older adults with mental illness face specific physical and psychosocial challenges and inequities, reflected in limited access to advanced technology. This digital divide is alarming as mental health interventions increasingly depend on both patients’ and clinicians’ access to technology. Yet, digitalized treatments also present opportunities to enhance accessibility, effectiveness, and equity across age groups.

OBJECTIVE

This scoping review charts the state of research into digitalized treatment options for older people with mental illness. We focus specifically on how technology is integrated into existing or leveraged to create new non-pharmacological mental health interventions. We also summarize the state of the art on the feasibility and effectiveness of these interventions for various mental illnesses.

METHODS

The review was conducted in compliance with the PRISMA guidelines for systematic scoping reviews. A PubMed search conducted in April 2024 identified 51 studies (n = 14,918 participants, aged 50-97 years). Included studies were original studies or their reviews, looking into non-pharmacological treatments for older adults with a psychiatric diagnosis using any kind of technology.

RESULTS

The technologies examined ranged from web-based psychotherapy platforms and digital devices for daily challenges to robots for social interaction. Few studies examined newest advances in digital mental health, such as artificial intelligence or virtual reality. Most studies evaluated dementia-related interventions, with small, non-randomized samples in uncontrolled designs.

CONCLUSIONS

The current state of the field, despite the promises of technology to reduce inequities between age groups, still largely excludes older adults from research into technological advances in mental health and their benefits. The field needs to overcome this selective bias and fight the digital ‘grey’ divide in mental health.
Democracy, Human Development, Income Distribution and Regional Economic Performance: A Panel Data Analysis of 34 Provinces in Indonesia
Authors: Sijabat Rosdiana
Published: December 2024

Many studies have concluded that the condition of democracy, the level of human development, and income distribution have associations with economic performance as measured by economic growth. However, the results of empirical studies on the relationship between these variables remain inconclusive. The objective of this study is to examine the effects of democracy, human development, and income distribution on economic growth in Indonesia's 34 provinces between 2012 and 2020. This study uses panel data analysis conducted using a Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach. The findings reveal that human development (as measured using the Human Development Index) significantly affects gross regional domestic product (GRDP) growth. Meanwhile, democracy (measured through the Democracy Index) and income inequality (measured using the Gini Coefficient) are not statistically affected by GRDP growth. The findings have policy implications for provincial governments in developing policies that encourage strategic investment in human resources. The provincial government can implement policies that enhance the association between human development and economic development. Such policies are essential due to the strong relationship between human development and regional economic growth, necessitating an integrated strategy to enhance human and economic development.

Authors: Chatterjee Debolina , Sivashanmugam Karthikeyan
Published: December 2024

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized antimicrobial resistance to be one of the top 10 threats to mankind in the coming future. Therefore, it requires solutions that are targeted, sustainable, and economically effective. Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with nosocomial infections affecting mostly patients with chronic lung disease. The goal of the current investigation was to gain insight into significant P. aeruginosa genes responsible for carbapenems, beta-lactams, and other antimicrobials resistance through a systems biology approach. To proceed with the methodology, 866 genes were retrieved from the NDARO database and a gene interaction network of 45 genes and 195 functional partners was constructed using STRING v9.0 with high confidence and analyzed using Cytoscape 3.10.0. Using clustering analysis, four closely linked clusters (C1-C4) associated with mechanisms of multidrug-resistance were identified. The enrichment analysis revealed a substantial role for 43 genes in biological processes, 36 genes in molecular function, and 40 genes in cellular components. The gene interaction network analysis found that the genes oprD, oprM, oprN, mexR, nfxB, mexB, mexT, mexA, nalD, and nalC had the greatest number of gene interactions, which can be further used as potential drug targets for the development of novel therapeutics to manage the antimicrobial resistance associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Authors: Yavuz Cenk
Published: December 2024

This study examines the environmental impacts of light pollution caused by satellite mega-constellations and the
approach of international space law to this issue. The research analyses the technical impacts of satellite constellations on
astronomical observations, wildlife, and cultural heritage from a technical perspective. The study demonstrates that satellitereflected light significantly affects both professional and amateur astronomical observations, disrupts natural behaviour patterns
of migratory birds and sea turtles, and threatens traditional celestial practices of indigenous communities. Within the framework
of international law, the study presents solution proposals in light of the environmental protection provisions of the 1967 Outer
Space Treaty and fundamental environmental law principles established in international court decisions. The research
concludes that states must conduct environmental impact assessments for space activities, establish minimum environmental
standards to eliminate light pollution caused by satellite constellations, and promote international cooperation through
UNOOSA to address these challenges. The study emphasizes the importance of balancing technological advancement with
environmental preservation and cultural heritage protection.

Authors: Khalid Mohammad
Published: December 2024

In order to ensure regulated administration of various medications with predetermined release profiles, bi-layer tablets
have been developed. The pharmaceutical industry has become more interested in creating a bilayer tablet, which combines two
or more Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), in a single dose form over the past ten years in an effort to improve patient
convenience and compliance. Bi-layer tablets can be used for the sequential release of two medications together, to separate two
substances that are incompatible, or for sustained release tablets where the first layer is an immediate release dose and the
second layer is a maintenance dose. A bilayer tablet is an enhanced, useful technology that addresses the shortcomings of a
single-layered tablet.Currently, a number of pharmaceutical companies are working on creating bi-layer tablets. for a number of
reasons, including marketing, therapeutics, and patent extensions. Such tablets are frequently developed and produced using
modified but already-existing tablet presses in order to minimize capital investment.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Peri-operative glycemic control is an important factor for post-operative recovery and is well protocoled for diabetic patients in every setup. It is not always so with non-diabetic patients. This study aimed to observe the pre-operative glucose level and prevalence of hypoglycemia in patients presenting for surgery and its association with the duration of nil per oral period (NPO), age and intravenous fluids used in the pre-operative period. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Anesthesiology in a Nepalese medical college including all the patients posted for elective surgery over a period of three months. Socio-demographic and clinical details of the participants were collected in the operating theatre. Duration of  NPO period and intravenous fluid prescribed in the pre-operative fasting period were recorded. A glucose strip test was performed on all the participants. Results: Participants were found to have fasted for an unnecessarily longer duration (12.84Â±2.27 hours). The incidence of hypoglycemia in patients posted for elective surgery was very high (43.3%). Ringer lactate and normal saline were equally prescribed (38.4%) and dextrose-normal saline was prescribed in the rest of the participants. Gender and type of intravenous fluids were positively correlated whereas NPO period was negatively correlated in overall participants though statistically insignificant. In hypoglycemic participants, we observed that lower glucose was influenced by pre-operative fluids, age and NPO duration. Conclusion: Pre-operative use of glucose-containing fluids during NPO period is an important step to prevent hypoglycemia and related consequences.

eDNA metabarcoding: a non-invasive method to track temporal community dynamics in temporary rivers
Authors: López-Rodríguez Nieves , Buchner Dominik , Cañedo-Argüelles Miguel , Fontserè Ricard , Leese Florian , Múrria Cesc , Bonada Núria , Ersoy Zeynep
Published: December 2024

Temporary rivers (TRs) are dynamic ecosystems that alternate between hydrological phases (i.e. flowing, disconnected pools, and dry). They are conservation refugia for aquatic species during dry seasons but are often neglected in bioassessment programs. To assess the biological quality of these ecosystems, morphology methods can be invasive, disrupting communities and diminishing their function as refugia. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding provides a minimally invasive method, gathering community information from eDNA in water or sediment. We tested the effectiveness of eDNA methods alongside bulk DNA to characterize the macroinvertebrate communities and assess the biological quality of disconnected pools in TRs, comparing them with morphological methods. Additionally, we tested how the community patterns evolve over time using eDNA and how community composition shifts during disconnection. Biological quality was determined through macroinvertebrate indices widely used in Spain (i.e., IBMWP, family richness, and IASPT). eDNA samples were collected biweekly from three TRs in Catalonia, NE Spain. Macroinvertebrates were sampled during the three hydrological phases (connected, disconnecting, and disconnected pools). Macroinvertebrate samples were used to identify organisms using morphology and to sequence bulk DNA. eDNA and bulk DNA samples were sequenced through metabarcoding targeting the mitochondrial COI gene. Although communities determined by sediment eDNA did not detect variations in biotic indices (i.e., IBMWP and family richness), the method was useful to detect the replacement of EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera) by OCH (Odonata, Coleoptera, Heteroptera). Additionally, sediment eDNA revealed significant impacts of hydrological changes on meiofauna (Ostracoda, Cladocera, Copepoda), a group often overlooked in stream assessments. These results indicate that sediment eDNA metabarcoding can serve as a valuable tool for the bioassessment of TRs, capturing the transitions between hydrological phases while preserving ecosystem integrity.
Cud przetrwania – etnograficzne studium tradycji święcenia zwierząt i kultu św. Rocha w Mikstacie
Authors: Książek Joanna
Published: December 2024

Przedmiotem artykułu jest obrzęd święcenia zwierząt odbywający się co roku w mieście Mikstat w Wielkopolsce. Rozpowszechniony niegdyś, religijno-magiczny sposób zabezpieczania bydła przed zarazą, obecnie praktykowany jest już w niewielu miejscach w Polsce, lecz w tym maleńkim mieście, przeżywa obecnie swój renesans. W artykule próbuję odpowiedzieć na pytanie, co sprawia, że ten archaiczny zwyczaj nie tylko przetrwał, ale dalej się rozwija. W tym celu zestawiam dane zgromadzone podczas własnych zróżnicowanych metodologicznie badań terenowych z dostępnymi źródłami o charakterze historycznym, etnograficznym i literaturą wspomnieniową. W powstałej w ten sposób wieloperspektywicznej analizie antropologicznej próbuję zidentyfikować i skonceptualizować czynniki, które przyczyniły się do przetrwania zwyczaju. Okazuje się, że tworzą one niepowtarzalny splot zdarzeń, warunków i okoliczności, do których należą między innymi potrzeby duchowe i tożsamościowe lokalnej społeczności, specyfika czasu, charakter miejsc, mityczne i instytucjonalne narracje, konkretne postaci i ich działania. Okazuje się, że podążająca za zmianami społecznymi i kulturowymi dynamika obrzędowości uzupełnia tradycyjny rdzeń zwyczaju, lecz konieczne tu balansowanie między religijnością, świeckością i ludowością nie pozbawione jest swego rodzaju napięć.

Krig i Europa og franske bidrag til europeisk sikkerhet
Authors: Bolling Gine , Rieker Pernille
Published: December 2024

Etter den russiske invasjonen av Ukraina 24. februar 2022 har flere europeiske land måttet revurdere sin sikkerhets- og forsvarspolitikk. Dette gjelder også Frankrike. Selv om endringen i fransk sikkerhet- og forsvarspolitikk ikke representere et regelrett brudd med tidligere politikk, har trusselen fra øst nå fått økt betydning også for fransk forsvarsplanlegging. De viktigste endringene i fransk sikkerhets- og forsvarspolitikk er knyttet til en omlegging av Russlandspolitikken, økning i støtten til Ukraina, og sist, men ikke minst en endret trusselvurdering og en betydelig økning i forsvarsbudsjettene. Med Russland aggresjon og usikkerhet rundt amerikansk langsiktig forpliktelse til europeisk sikkerhet, har Frankrikes fokus på strategisk autonomi også fått bredere støtte blant de europeiske allierte.
Abstract in English:War in Europe and French Contributions to European SecuritySince the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, several European countries have had to reconsider their security and defense policies. This also applies to France. Although the changes in French security and defense policy do not represent a complete break with previous policy, the threat from the East has now gained increased significance for French defense planning as well. The most important changes in French security and defense policy are related to a shift in its policy towards Russia, increased support for Ukraine, and last but not least, a revised threat assessment and a considerable increase in defense budgets. With Russian aggression and uncertainty regarding the long-term U.S. commitment to European security, France’s focus on strategic autonomy has also gained broader support among European allies.
Carbonate and Sandstone Reservoirs in CO2 Sequestration: Assessing Porosity and Permeability for Enhanced Storage Potential
Authors: S Mohsin
Published: December 2024

Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide is one of the most efficient mechanisms to reduce atmospheric greenhouse
gases. The potential of carbonate and sandstone reservoirs, which predominate in almost every part of the world, will be
determined by the respective geological properties. This paper mainly underlines the porosity and permeability-dependent
storage capacity and injectivity and trapping mechanism but emphasizes the complexity of the carbonate reservoir and
predictability of sandstones. High-resolution imaging, digital rock physics, and AI-driven models would mark the innovation
of the characterization and storage efficiency at the reservoir level. Practical insights emanating from the Sleipner and
Weyburn-Midale projects outline several problems, including perhaps permeability loss, risk of leakage, and cost concerns.
New approaches in hybrid reservoir systems and advanced monitoring are suggested to overcome these problems. Thus, a
potential route for safer and more efficient CO₂ storage matched to reservoir-specific characteristics would be presented.

Research of Thermal Inertia of Thermotransducers for Measuring the Temperature of Gas Flows
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Fedynets Vasyl , Vasylkivskyi Ihor
Published: December 2024

The temperature of gas flows is an important parameter during the research of heat and mass transfer processes, in the field of gas dynamics, as well as in manufacturing. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure a high level of requirements for the accuracy and reliability of the primary means of temperature measurement. The basic requirements are the simplicity of the design of the thermotransducer, its low thermal inertia, small dimensions, and high reliability during operation in aggressive environments at high temperature and pressure conditions. When measuring the temperature of gas flows, an important requirement is to ensure low thermal inertia. The presence of thermal inertia in thermotransducers leads to the fact that during the measurement of non-stationary temperatures of gas flows in conditions of variable heat transfer, dynamic errors occur, which make it necessary to conduct additional studies to take them into account. This paper provides a study of the thermal inertia of thermotransducers for measuring the temperature of gas flows depending on the type of flow temperature change.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Fedoryshyn Roman , Lymych Vasyl , Zagraj Volodymyr ,   Techprylad LLC, Masniak Oleh ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a technique for defining the optimal parameters of a moving window when processing the signal of a vibration accelerometer installed on a ball drum mill as part of the automation system. Time series signals of the vibration acceleration have been synthesized based on the experimental data of frequency spectrums with the application of the inverse Fourier transform. The lower and upper limits for the moving window size have been defined. The frequency spectrum for the time series signal within the moving window has been built by means of the fast Fourier transform method. An optimality criterion has been proposed. This criterion considers the quality of the derived frequency spectrum and the computational resources of the microprocessor system needed for processing the vibration accelerometer signal. The optimal duration of the moving window for the analyzed example is 100 ms. The impact of the time signal sampling rate on the frequency spectrum shape has been studied.

The article describes a study of identification of fake news based on natural language processing, big data analysis and deep learning technology. The developed system automatically checks the news for signs of fake news, such as the use of manipulative language, unverified sources and unreliable information. Data visualization is implemented on the basis of a friendly user interface that displays the results of news analysis in a convenient and understandable format. For news classification, a neural network was developed using LSTM bidirectional recurrent neural network (BRNN) and bidirectional layers in the model. The study demonstrates better performance of news analysis based on LSTM with 8 epochs compared to similar works with 3–4 epochs (99% vs. 85-96%). Deep learning models such as bidirectional LSTM are highly accurate in recognizing patterns in textual data, providing better results. The model showed high accuracy on the test sample, which indicates its ability to effectively recognize fake news. The confusion matrix showed that all the news items were classified correctly. The classification report confirmed high accuracy, completeness and F1 score for both classes (real and fake news).

Domates (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) yaygın bir şekilde yetiştirilen sebze ürünlerinden biri olup, büyüme ve gelişme dönemi boyunca tuzluluğa orta derecede duyarlı bir bitkidir. Bu çalışmada, topraksız kültürde farklı tuz seviyelerinde yetiştirilen domates bitkisinde gelişmenin, makrobesin kapsamının ve fotosentetik pigmentlerin değişimi incelenmiştir. Denemede 2:1 torf: perlit (v/v) karışımından her saksı için 1500 gram alınıp 3 litrelik saksılara konulmuştur. Her saksıya bir domates fidesi dikilmiştir. Denemede besin solüsyonuna sodyum klorür (NaCl) artan konsantrasyonlarda [0 (T0), 14.4 mM (T1), 44.4 mM (T2) ve 70.4 mM (T3)] ilave edilmiştir. Besin çözeltisinde artan NaCl konsantrasyonu yaprak sayısını ve kök kuru ağırlığını önemli derecede azaltmıştır. Fakat bitki boyuna, gövde çapına, gövde ve yaprak kuru ağırlığına NaCl ilavesinin etkisi önemsiz bulunmuştur. Bununla birlikte, besin çözeltisindeki NaCl konsantrasyonundaki artışın, domates bitkisi yaprağında fotosentetik pigmentler üzerine etkisi anlamlı bulunmuştur. Besin çözeltisine T2 düzeyinde NaCl ilavesi kontrole (T0) göre yaprakta klorofil-b, toplam klorofil ve karotenoid kapsamını önemli derecede arttırmıştır. Besin çözeltisinde NaCl konsantrasyonu arttıkça yaprakta N ve P kapsamı artış gösterirken; K, Ca, Mg ve S kapsamı azalma göstermiştir. Ayrıca besin çözeltine NaCl ilavesi hasat sonu yaprak analizlerine göre yaprakta N, P, K, Ca, Mg ve S noksanlıklarına sebebiyet vermemiştir. Domates bitkilerinin tuzluluk stresine karşı adaptasyonunu arttırmak amacıyla, besin çözeltilerinde kontrollü NaCl uygulamaları ve etkin makro besin yönetimi stratejileri geliştirilmelidir.

Authors: Alan Mustafa , Taner Alper
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to create a database on the presence of machinery on a district basis by mapping the utilization activities of agricultural tools and machinery used in the crops cultivated in Tokat and its districts and only in wheat agriculture with geographical information systems. In this context, the machines were divided into seven groups (Soil Tillage Machinery, Sowing and Planting Machinery, Maintenance and Fertilization Machinery, Plant Protection Machinery, Harvesting Machinery, Combine Harvester, and Tractors). The statistics on the cultivated areas and the number of machines on a district basis were obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute. The calculated machine impact areas and planted areas were converted into circular areas and their radii were calculated. The calculated radii were converted into district-based maps with the help of ArcGIS 10.8 software. It was determined that there is a need for subsoilers, combi-harrow, stone collecting machinery, rotary cultivators, soil leveling machinery, rotary tiller, arc opening plough, seedling planting machinery, balers, and combine harvesters in Tokat. While the highest need was identified for balers, the highest surplus was identified for tractors. When the common crops and the machines commonly used in wheat agriculture are evaluated, it is concluded that production planning is important and planning should be made in accordance with the crop pattern.

The aim of the research is to prove that nowadays the role of higher education, its impact on “territorial capital” and the factors of their competitiveness measurement have changed. Competitiveness should no longer be measured only in terms of rankings between higher education institutions, but also in terms of their role in territorial capital. Examining the extension of a competitiveness measurement model developed for small and medium-sized enterprises to the field of higher education can be exciting because the competitive situation between higher education institutions is strengthening, and its aspects are not limited to winning tender funds and the competition for students. The subject of this study is the Central European higher education in general and the Hungarian higher education specifically. Higher education as it appears in regional strategic documents, and the regional, third mission role of higher education institutions appearing in their strategic documents. In terms of methodology: the first part of the paper is based on document and content analysis. In the second part of the paper, institutional characteristics that may influence competitiveness are identified in the case of a Hungarian higher education institution with SME characteristics. The research concludes that the impact on territorial capital, together with the traditional characteristics of higher education and its third missionary role, may constitute the competitiveness of a given institution. If the impact of higher education institutions on location could be measured uniformly, competition between institutions would be more transparent and the role of the region would be strengthened.
Implementation of a solar-thermal hybrid air conditioning system in Muscat for energy conservation

Published: December 2024

The need for global energy conservation has become more urgent because of the negative effects of excessive energy use, such as higher fuel consumption, greater environmental pollution, and depletion of the ozone layer. There has been a significant increase in the demand for central and high-capacity household air conditioning systems in Muscat in recent years. The need for this is influenced by factors such as arid climate, increasing temperatures, air pollution, and population increase. As a result, there has been a significant increase in electricity use, putting a strain on power resources. To tackle this difficulty, the incorporation of solar collectors as supplementary thermal compressors in air conditioning systems offers a chance to utilise renewable energy sources. The objective of this hybrid technique is to enhance the effectiveness of cooling systems, hence minimising the need for electricity and lowering the release of environmental pollutants.
