Small construction materials detection: an approach of enhanced feature extraction and representation
Authors: Lu Yujie , Nong Yuanjun
Published: February 2025

Automated construction materials detection is crucial for material lean management, such as material planning, inventory, site usage, and monitoring. However, there are numerous small materials in the construction site due to the long monitoring distances, which easily cause missed and incorrect detection owing to their indistinguishable features and complicated backgrounds. To improve detection accuracy for small materials, this study proposes an augmented detection method based on enhanced feature extraction and representation. In the proposed method, DenseNet is utilized as the backbone to enhance the feature extraction of small materials. Additionally, the explicit visual center is introduced to enhance the feature learning of small materials. Finally, the multi-scale detection structure is optimized by adding a scale to improve feature representation. Experimental results demonstrate that the average precision for small objects (APs) have improved by 5.3%, and the mean average precision (mAP) has reached 84.3%, surpassing other state-of-the-art methods. The proposed method also exhibits strong adaptability to various conditions such as shadows, blurriness, and cluttered backgrounds. Additionally, the impacts of different backbone networks and detection scales on accuracy are discussed. This research provides theoretical and practical references for material lean management and facilitates the application of digital twin in materials management.

Published: February 2025

Building energy efficiency programs face significant challenges in performance monitoring and occupant engagement, which hinder the achievement of sustainability goals in the built environment. Traditional systems often suffer from intermediary-dependent workflows, insufficient transparency, and reliability issues, leading to conflicts among stakeholders and reduced occupant participation. This study proposes a blockchain-enabled solution that leverages Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to improve the transparency, reliability, and traceability of performance monitoring systems. By integrating Digital Twin (DT) technology, blockchain, and a token marketplace, the platform not only enhances monitoring capabilities but also incentivizes occupants to adopt energy-efficient behaviors through Fungible Token (FT) rewards. A proof-of-concept prototype was developed using a synthetic case study, demonstrating the feasibility, cost efficiency, and scalability of the framework. The findings emphasize the importance of network selection for wider blockchain adoption. This transparent and immutable framework addresses key challenges in energy performance monitoring, offering a foundation for advancing sustainability in the built environment.

Published: February 2025

A hepatite B é uma doença infecciosa que agride o fígado e é classificada como uma infecção sexualmente transmissível. A transmissão ocorre pela exposição ao sangue infectado e secreções corporais. Atualmente, a principal via de transmissão continua sendo da mãe para o recém-nascido (transmissão vertical), mas também pode ocorrer pela esterilização inadequada de instrumentos de saúde e a administração de hemoderivados contaminados, especialmente em países mais pobres. Esse estudo tem como objetivo analisar as tendências temporais, espaciais e sociodemográficas dos óbitos por Hepatite B no Brasil entre 2014 e 2024. Para isso, foi realizado o levantamento de dados no Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH) do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) e posterior avaliação estatística. Os resultados evidenciaram que,apesar do número de internações ter sido maior nar egião sudeste no período analisado, os óbitos foram mais prevalentes na região nordeste, principalmente no estado de Pernambuco, e em pessoas do sexo masculino, da raça parda e entre 50 e 59 anos. Portanto, são necessários estudosq ue possibilitem identificar as áreas que apresentam maior vulnerabilidade quanto ao manejo adequado dessa infecçãop ara que políticas públicas sejam desenvolvidas de forma eficaz e possa-se evitar esses óbitos.

Este estudo realizou uma revisão integrativa sobre a influência da nutrição e do estilo de vida na síndrome dos ovários policísticos (SOP), abordando sua etiopatogenia, diagnóstico e, principalmente, as opções de tratamento. A revisão analisou como modificações no estilo de vida, como dietas com baixo índice glicêmico, prática de exercícios, cuidado com o sono, uso de suplementos e terapias comportamentais podem impactar essa condição. A análise foi baseada em artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos, priorizando a relevância clínica e a atualidade dos estudos. Os resultados indicaram que dietas de baixo índice glicêmico, exercícios aeróbicos e de resistência ajudam a diminuir a resistência à insulina, os níveis de andrógenos e o risco metabólico. Também, suplementos como ômega-3, vitamina D e mio-inositol mostraram benefícios. O equilíbrio do microbioma intestinal e a suplementação simbiótica têm demonstrado efeitos positivos na redução dos sintomas. Estudos apontam que mulheres com SOP podem apresentar deficiências nutricionais, e intervenções dietéticas, como a dieta mediterrânea, podem auxiliar no controle da condição. A saúde mental também merece atenção, sendo recomendadas terapias cognitivas e suporte social para enfrentar depressão, ansiedade e distúrbios do sono. O tratamento deve ser individualizado, com orientação profissional e fundamentado em evidências, levando em consideração as preferências e desafios específicos das pacientes.

Conforme ressaltado pela Agência Internacional de Pesquisa em Câncer (IARC), uma em cada cinco pessoas no mundo é acometida por câncer ao longo da vida. Como efeito, a prevenção do câncer é apontada como um dos maiores desafios de saúde pública deste século. Embora a exposição do cigarro convencional (CC), um dos principais fatores etiológicos, tenha regredido, o cigarro eletrônico (CE) está se transfigurando cada vez mais popular, expondo anseios quanto aos seus possíveis malefícios, cujos efeitos ainda não são totalmente documentados. Desse modo, o objetivo desta revisão é investigar os efeitos do cigarro eletrônico na saúde oral, explorando os componentes químicos presentes nestes dispositivos e seu potencial risco de câncer. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos, foi realizado uma revisão de literatura integrativa de caráter qualitativo e exploratório nas bases de dados Scientific Eletronic Library Online (Scielo), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e U.S. National Library of Medicine (PUBMED) no período de 2014-2024. Os resultados dos estudos trouxeram evidências claras da correlação dos componentes químicos, existentes no e-liquido do CE, com o potencial efeito carcinogênico, além de favorecer uma possibilidade maior da exposição ao CC, cujos efeitos nocivos já são bem fundamentados. Entretanto, apesar de que os resultados atingidos sejam promissores, há uma necessidade tangível de mais estudos para comprovar essas descobertas e entender suas complicações em diferentes circunstâncias.

Our society is currently undergoing a complex socioeconomic shift, impacting numerous aspects of life. A crucial element of this transformation is digital diversification, the application of digital technologies to create innovative products, services, and business approaches. With the rapid pace of technological advancement, this diversification is essential for businesses to thrive, enabling them to adapt to evolving markets and maintain a competitive edge. Furthermore, identifying the ideal business development model is vital. In today’s volatile and competitive landscape, companies must constantly innovate to achieve growth. A successful model should consider the company’s specific operations, resources, and capabilities, as well as external influences like regulatory changes, economic conditions, and consumer demand. These societal transformations stem from reforms within socioeconomic activity, occurring at both national and regional levels and affecting all segments of society. Amidst challenges like the ongoing war in Ukraine, a survival strategy is paramount for ensuring continued operation. Businesses play a critical role in these transformations, and their actions are key to the success or failure of these processes. During times of systemic threats, such as those posed by war, economic decisions are often swayed by emotions and stress, potentially leading to flawed choices. Therefore, applying behavioral economics principles is crucial to understanding the link between socioeconomic transformation and decision-making during periods of instability and risk. Research in this field helps us comprehend how individuals make choices under pressure and uncertainty, enabling the development of effective strategies to promote rational business practices during crises.

Authors:   State Tax University (Irpіn, Ukraine), Plahotniuk Volodymyr
Published: February 2025

The article examines the impact of enterprise relocation on the socio-economic well-being of Ukrainian regions in the context of war. Enterprise relocation, as an emergency measure to move businesses from unsafe territories to safer regions, has become one of the key tools for maintaining economic activity, preserving jobs, and sustaining local budget revenues. The study identifies the main reasons for relocation, including preserving production capacity, supporting the economy, paying taxes, and ensuring employment continuity. The study identifies key factors influencing the success of relocation efforts, including logistical accessibility, availability of skilled personnel, local government support programs, and alignment of business activities with regional development strategies. Emphasis is placed on the long-term potential of relocation to contribute to the regional economy by diversifying industries and fostering innovation, provided businesses receive sufficient support to adapt and recover. The article also examines the role of relocation in addressing regional economic disparities, noting the benefits of concentrating businesses in less developed areas, such as western Ukraine. Specific examples, including the formation of an IT cluster in Zakarpattia and industrial relocations to Lviv and Chernivtsi, demonstrate how targeted policies and local initiatives can maximize the economic benefits of relocation. The analysis further highlights significant challenges related to the relocation process, including logistical barriers, workforce shortages, and delays in reestablishing production capacity. These challenges are exacerbated by the uncertain duration and progression of the war, making it difficult for enterprises to make long-term strategic decisions. The article underscores the importance of a comprehensive approach to enterprise relocation as a means of ensuring regional economic resilience and addressing the broader challenges posed by the war. By integrating relocated businesses into regional economies and aligning their activities with local development strategies, Ukraine can leverage enterprise relocation as a tool for long-term sustainable development, even in the face of significant external challenges.

Smart meters will be essential to electricity networks in the future. Demand will have a big influence on system stability if there is a power outage. Traditionally, generating units are in charge of reestablishing system frequency following an unexpected power outage. This approach increases emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and is time-consuming and expensive. The technology is more stable since conventional generators cannot keep up with the demands of a smart metre. The first and most important task is to comprehend how these new technologies operate. A Matlab/Simulink model for a load frequency control system with demand-side control via the smart meter is presented in this work. The load frequency control system can be improved by using demand-side control, according to the simulation. Keywords—controllable loads; demand-side; Great Britin; load frequency control; smart meters

Oral cancer significantly impacts patients' psychosocial well-being, particularly during chemotherapy. This descriptive study assessed life satisfaction and distress tolerance among oral cancer patients at Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, Chennai. Sixty patients were selected using nonprobability consecutive sampling and assessed using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS). Results revealed that 100% of patients experienced dissatisfaction with life, with 83.33% reporting strong dissatisfaction. High distress levels were found in 86.67% of patients, and only 13.33% exhibited moderate tolerance. A significant negative correlation (-0.37, p=0.05) was observed between life satisfaction and distress tolerance. Demographic factors like age, gender, and residence significantly influenced these outcomes.

Published: February 2025

Background: Iron and folic acid (IFA) supplements are vital during pregnancy, particularly for primigravida mothers to prevent anaemia and support healthy fetal development. Adherence to these supplements ensures adequate iron is stored and reduces the risk of complications such as low birth weight, preterm delivery and neural tube defects. However adherence can be affected by factors like perceived side effects, lack of knowledge and inconsistent counselling from healthcare providers. This study explores the adherence patterns among primigravida mothers, alongside the symptoms they report while taking IFA supplements to provide insights that can enhance prenatal care and improve maternal health outcomes.
Objectives: The study’s main objectives were to assess the levels of adherence to Iron folic acid tablet and perceived symptoms among primi gravida mothers, examine their correlation and identify associations with demographic variables.
Materials and Methods: The present study uses a Probability Simple random sampling technique and the researcher adopted a non-experimental descriptive research design with 60 samples. The tools include Socio-Demographic data, the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale.
Results: The findings revealed that 76.67% exhibited good adherence, while 80% reported mild symptoms. A significant negative moderate correlation was found indicating that increased adherence scores were associated with decreased symptom scores. Additionally, mothers over 25 years old were aware of anaemia's complications in low birth weight babies and informed about iron-rich foods showed better adherence. Statistical significance was assessed using the chi-square test.
Conclusion: The study concluded that primigravida mothers' adherence to iron-folic acid supplementation was influenced by their knowledge, perceived side effects and the quality of healthcare counselling they received. Improved education on the importance of supplementation and addressing concerns regarding side effects can significantly enhance adherence. This will contribute to better maternal and fetal health outcomes by ensuring proper nutrient intake during pregnancy.
