Smartphone Camera for Angiographic Computer Vision in Vascular Medicine
Authors: Rusinovich Yury , Rusinovich Volha , Doss Markus
Published: May 2024

Aim: This study aimed to develop a TensorFlow Lite algorithm for angiography classification and to deploy it on a basic mobile smartphone device, thereby verifying the proof of concept for creating a comprehensive end-to-end mobile computer vision application for vascular medicine. Materials and Methods: After ethical approval by the local ethics committee, we collected institutional and open source peripheral angiograms of lower limbs. The angiograms were labeled by a researcher with more than 10 years of experience in vascular surgery. The labeling included dividing the angiograms according to their anatomical pattern into the Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS). The model was developed using the open-source TensorFlow framework for general image classification and deployed as an Android application. Results: The model utilized 700 angiograms, distributed as follows within the femoropoliteal GLASS disease (fp) categories: fp0 – 187 images, fp1 – 136 images, fp2 – 128 images, fp3 – 97 images, fp4 – 152 images. The reference dataset included 372 non-angiographic images (not_angio). Consequently, the entire model included 1,072 images. After training and deployment, the model demonstrated the following performance: a mean accuracy of 0.72. The best self-reported accuracy per class was for fp0 0.72, fp4 0.83 and not_angio 1.0 classes. Conclusion: We discovered that a smartphone camera could be utilized for angiographic computer vision through end-to-end applications accessible to every healthcare professional. However, the predictive abilities of the model are limited and require improvement. The development of a robust angiographic computer vision smartphone application should incorporate an upload function, undergo validation through head-to-head human-machine comparisons, potentially include segmentation, and feature a prospective design with explicit consent for using collected data in the development of AI models.
The clinical use of difference scores: Some psychometric problems
Authors: Cattell Raymond B.
Published: May 2024

Some pure statisticians have raised such difficulties regarding difference scores that clinicians and others who are bound to use them have been doing so only with trepidation. This article examines the dependability of difference scores as a function of (1) the dependability of the single occasion scores, (2) the correlation between pre- and post-interval scores, (3) the pre-post difference of means and (4) the relative pre-post standard deviation--all in regard to the same variable measured twice on the same people. Uncorrelated pre- and post-scores, equal or unequal in variance, yield differences with no larger percent error than the single occasion scores. The difference score has highest dependability with a negative pre-post correlation, and is reduced finally to zero with a positive, except when before and after standard deviations are different. The suitability of procedures depends on the psychological model one is using--merely itemetric or heeding structures recognized in trait and state theory. In the latter one must distinguish between the "instant" pre-post dependability coefficient and the long term stability coefficient, in which the true score itself alters. A trait constancy coefficient of 0.5, not uncommon over, say, six months of therapy, results in a reduction of a difference score dependability coefficient of 0.9 to 0.82, which can readily be compensated by a Spearman-Brown calculated increase of test length. More important than what some statisticians have emphasized is the need for getting equal interval properties in the test, by pan-normalization or relational simplex principles.
Higher-order factor structure of Cattell's MAT and 8SQ
Authors: Boyle Gregory J.
Published: May 2024

Previous research has failed to delineate adequately the higher-order factor structure of the Eight State Questionnaire (8SQ), and of the Motivation Analysis Test (MAT). Kline (1979, p.185) concluded that, "... there is considerable need for further investigaion... utilizing factorial procedures in accord with the technical demands which are listed... so that one can have confidence in the attainment of simple structure and the consequent psychological import of the results." In response to Kline's suggestion, the present study indicated two third-order 8SQ factors, and nine second-order MAT factors, on an Australian sample of 258 college students. Use of Cattell's Rotoplot program was shown to be a valid and useful analytic procedure. Findings are discussed and tentative labels are assigned to each higher-order factor.

Published: May 2024

Variance in experimental research refers to variations or differences in the observed data. Variance can arise from various sources, such as individual differences, environmental conditions, or other undesirable factors. The importance of understanding variance is that it can affect the validity of experimental results. Variable control in experimental research is an attempt to minimize irrelevant variance and ensure that observed differences are directly attributable to the independent variables manipulated in the study. This is done by designing the experiment in such a way that confounding factors are controlled or limited as much as possible. The experimental research method aims to find the effect of certain treatments on others under controlled conditionsVariance in experimental research can be further analyzed into several types of variance, while researcher control in experimental research concerns independent variables (VB) and secondary variables (VS). Various control techniques are used to ensure the success and validity of experimental research, such as randomization, elimination, constancy, matching, blocking, making the secondary variable the second independent variable, statistical control, and counterbalancing. Variance is an important tool in statistical analysis used to analyze factors that affect the distribution or spread of data. Control is an important feature in scientific research, especially in experimental research. Variance and control are important aspects of experimental research to ensure the validity and reliability of findings.

MALE REPRESENTATION IN SUPER BOWL COMMERCIALS 2019
Authors: Quynh Vu Thi Phuong
Published: May 2024

Gender, especially female, representation in advertising has been extensively studied in recent decades; however, few studies have looked into male representation in the current media landscape. This article presents a multimodal critical discourse analysis (CDA) study on the contemporary depiction of men in Super Bowl commercials. Focusing on 57 advertisements aired during Super Bowl 2019, the research finds that male representation in TV advertisements is still largely confined by traditional male norms, despite the recent transformation in societal male roles. Besides, the findings also suggest that in negotiation with the rise in female power, male power does not decline, but varies in manifestation. Other findings include the dualistic view in male portrayal, and the normalization of men as the target of jokes. The study serves as an appeal for the reinvention of masculinity in today’s world, and for more visible, creative efforts to challenge traditional male stereotypes in advertising and media.

Language Medium Dynamics in Pakistani Education: A Historical Analysis
Authors: Salman Muhammad , Bukhari Syed Muhammad Abouzar Shah
Published: May 2024

Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Siraiki, and Baluchi are Pakistan's main languages. Although Urdu is the national language, English is still spoken in significant areas like higher bureaucracy and the armed forces officer corps, a remnant of British colonialism. This manuscript examines Pakistan's language medium dispute regarding English-only schooling for the privileged before partition. An English-educated Anglicized elite was expected to maintain British rule in their own interests, strengthening the empire. Thus, most provinces taught the masses in Urdu, save Sind, where Sindhi was used. This method produced a cost-effective subordinate workforce. In modern Pakistan, the elite attend exclusive English-medium schools, whereas most other schools, especially in metropolitan Sind, have a large Urdu population and teach in Urdu. The indigenously educated proto-elite, mostly Urdu-trained, opposes this duality and wants Urdu as the medium of education. Their argument is that such a transition will help them rise in power, countering the current preference for English education.
The Impact of Parental Socioeconomic Status on Social Behavior of Students
Authors: ALHussaini Muzamil Hussain , Shahbaz Muhammad , Ahsan Muhammad
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the intricate relationship between parental socioeconomic status (SES) and the social behaviour of students at the higher secondary level. Drawing upon a comprehensive review of literature, theoretical frameworks, and empirical evidence, this research aims to elucidate the multifaceted ways in which parental SES influences various aspects of students' social behaviour during their higher secondary education years. Through a descriptive approach, questionnaire data were collected from a diverse sample of higher secondary students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. The study explores the nature of the influence of parental SES on students' peer relationships, interpersonal skills, participation in extracurricular activities, and overall social integration within the school environment. Additionally, mediating factors such as parental involvement, family dynamics, access to resources, and community support will be examined to better understand the mechanisms through which SES impacts students' social behaviour. Furthermore, the research investigated the long-term implications of socioeconomic disparities in social behaviour, both academically and in terms of students' overall well-being and future opportunities. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between parental SES and students' social behaviour at the higher secondary level, with implications for educational practice, policy, and interventions aimed at promoting equity and inclusivity in higher secondary education settings.
Peace and Value Education Policy Perspectives in The Context Of India
Authors: Ali Niaz , Shahsia
Published: May 2024

Education must be autonomous for development. Cultural and ethical aspects of education are often overlooked due to the focus on economics in capitalist development. A lack of awareness of these realities impacts society significantly. Bringing in the behavior scale is necessary. Inculcate the idea that education for development fosters a commitment to global solidarity, peace, justice, and environmental awareness in youth. It aims to enable children and youth to contribute to positive development locally and worldwide. Based on the foregoing realities, peace and value education are pioneering initiatives that require vision and determination. A brief attempt may diminish its effectiveness and increase cynicism. Humans can become sophisticated destroyers of themselves and life on earth through education. Education alone is essential for citizens to live peacefully and with dignity. In this research, we emphasize the significance of value and peace education in policy formulation and implementation. Libraries will be used in this two-part research. The first section of this study discussed the significance of peace and value education at the national level. The second portion contains recommendations and suggestions for implementing peace and value education in Indian policy and related publications.

The study population was all students at the University of Loralai. One hundred students from the university were taken as samples. The questionnaire was constructed and included different areas of relationship guidance, health guidance, and moral guidance needed for the student's guidance and counselling. This study identifies that students face problems in peer relationships with other students. Students are fully aware of their local culture and values and know how to deal with the opposite gender. It is difficult for students to control their emotions, and they need guidance regarding this. Students can solve their personal problems through guidance and counselling. The study recommends peer relationship improvement programs, health education programs, counselling services, stress reduction workshops and emotional management support. The university could establish counselling services or workshops that focus on emotional intelligence and stress management. The university continues offering guidance and counselling services for students to help them solve personal problems and cope with psychological complications. Ensure that these services are easily accessible.
Opportunities and Challenges for Girls' Education in Afghanistan
Authors: Bukhari Syed Muhammad Abouzar Shah
Published: May 2024

In Afghanistan's long past, there have been many ups and downs when it comes to girls' education. When it came to education, women in Afghanistan have had the worst time in the past. Before the civil war in Afghanistan, girls' education wasn't very good from the start. The three decades of fighting and war made things worse for girls who were trying to learn. During the time of the Taliban government (1996–2001), no girls were in school. With the help of the rest of the world and the formation of a new government in 2001, hopes came back to life. But even after sixteen years, the schooling of women is still not good enough. The main topic of this study is how girls and boys don't have the same access to primary, secondary, and especially higher education. The study will also look into the main problems that make it hard for women to go to school. A lot of different research papers, educational pieces, reports, and other similar sources were used to gather data for this study.

Authors: Iqbal Asif , Salman Muhammad
Published: May 2024

This study aims to establish a comprehensive Digital Information Literacy (DIL) skills model tailored for librarians across diverse Pakistani universities. Employing content analysis, the research conducted a literature review to identify contextually relevant DIL skill statements. An expert panel evaluated a draft list of DIL skills, informing the development of a research questionnaire using a Likert scale. Chief librarians from various universities constituted the study population. Out of 160 distributed questionnaires, 132 were returned and analyzed using ANOVA. The study resulted in a DIL skill model comprising fifty-six validated and ranked skill statements, categorized into five groups: Use of Personal System (PC), Digital Tools Utilization, Ability in Digital Services, Skills in Technology Applications, and Digital Innovative Technologies. The study recommends integrating these DIL skill contents into the LIS curriculum and encourages librarians in university settings to adopt the model to enhance their proficiency in digital information literacy.
Post COVID-19 Analysis of Conservatism Effect Bias on Individual Investors of the KMI-30 Index at Pakistan Stock Exchange
Authors: Gul Mujahid , Rahim Adeel
Published: May 2024

This study examines how conservative bias affected Pakistan Stock Exchange KMI-30 index investors after COVID-19. The main goal is to assess conservative bias in Pakistani stock market decision-making. Data from 162 respondents was carefully collected and analyzed using logistic regression, association testing, descriptive statistics, and correlation analysis. The study illuminates the impact of conservative bias on Pakistan's stock market investment selections. Both male and female investors react similarly to conservative bias, indicating that gender does not greatly change its effects. Conservative bias is more common in highly educated people, especially those with graduate and doctoral degrees. Younger investors (18-25) are less susceptible than 26-30-year-olds. Investors with one to three years of experience are more conservative, while those with less than a year or over three years are less vulnerable. Marital status barely affects financial prejudice. These findings emphasize the importance of demographic and experience characteristics in investment strategies and financial advice. The study underlines that good investment requires understanding psychological aspects affecting investor behavior, not just numbers. Understanding the human aspect in investment decision-making can help financial advisers, and regulators tailor advice and regulations to the varying needs and vulnerabilities of different investor groups, creating a more informed and resilient investing community.
THE	IMPACT	OF	PUBLIC	INSURANCE	POLICY	ON	THE	PRIVATE	INSURANCE	MARKET:	THE	EXAMPLE	OF	AZERBAIJAN

Published: May 2024

Economic actors, whether individuals or organizations, generate externalities via their economic activities, which may have either positive or negative effects on other economic units that are not directly connected to them. These actions are undertaken with the aim of maximizing their own benefits or profits. The insurance industry, which plays a significant role in economic activity, also generates social externalities. The insurance business generates significant externalities, resulting in a substantial multiplier impact on the economy. The insurance industry will significantly contribute to the key components required for investment in Azerbaijan's rising economy, including savings, financial possibilities, a trustworthy environment, and risk reduction. Azerbaijan's contribution in the global insurance market is quite small in proportion to its potential. This article aims to analyse the impact of governmental insurance practices on private insurance.
AGRICULTURAL	FIELD	MANAGEMENT	PROBLEMS:	FROM	CLASSIC	AGRO-TECHNOLOGIES	TO	ARTIFICIAL	INTELLIGENCE
Authors: Valiyeva Sabina
Published: May 2024

The text is straightforward and precise. The agricultural sector has been significantly impacted by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine vision. This is due to factors such as the rising global population, increasing demand for food, changing weather conditions, and water availability. AI has not only increased the quantity of work in agriculture but also improved its quality. Researchers and scientists are now adopting new IoT technologies in smart farming to enable farmers to use AI technology for the advancement of seeds, crop protection, and fertilizers. This would enhance the financial viability of farmers and contribute to the general economic growth of the nation. AI is being used in three primary areas in agriculture: soil and crop monitoring, predictive analytics, and agricultural robots. Farmers are increasingly using sensors and soil sampling to collect data for farm management systems, which will be utilized for future studies and analysis. This paper enhances the area by doing a study of artificial intelligence applications in the agriculture industry. The text provides an introduction to AI, covering several AI techniques used in the agricultural sector, such as machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), expert systems, image processing, and computer vision.

Evolution of hind limb morphology of Titanosauriformes (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) analyzed via 3D Geometric Morphometrics reveals wide-gauge posture as an exaptation for gigantism
Authors: Paramo Blazquez Adrian , Mocho Pedro , Escaso Fernando , Ortega Francisco
Published: May 2024

The sauropod hind limb was the main support that allowed their gigantic body masses and a wide range of dynamic stability adaptations. It was closely related to the position of the centre of masses of their multi-ton barrel-shaped bodies, and experienced one of the most noticeable posture changes during macronarian evolution. Deeply branched macronarians achieved increasingly arched hind limbs in what is known as wide-gauge posture. However, it is not clear if this evolutionary trend is related to the evolutionary cascade toward gigantism even though some titanosaurians were the largest terrestrial vertebrates that ever existed. We tested evolutionary changes in hind limb morphology in the Macronaria phylogenetic tree by 3D geometric morphometrics. The macronarian hind limb does become progressively more arched toward deeply-branched groups, specifically Saltasauridae. However, there is morphological convergence between different macronarian subclades. Wide-gauge posture does not correlate with changes in body size deeper in the macronarian evolutionary tree, and acted as an exaptation to gigantism. Despite some titanosaurian subclades becoming some of the largest vertebrates, there is not a statistically-significant trend toward a particular body size but we identify a phyletic body size decrease in Macronaria.

Antibodies are powerful tools for the therapy and diagnosis of various diseases. In addition to conventional hybridoma-based screening, recombinant antibody-based screening has become a common choice; however, its application is hampered by two factors: (1) screening starts after Ig gene cloning and recombinant antibody production only, and (2) the antibody is composed of paired chains, heavy and light, commonly expressed by two independent expression vectors. Here, we introduce a method for the rapid screening of recombinant monoclonal antibodies by establishing a Golden Gate-based dual-expression vector and in-vivo expression of membrane-bound antibodies. Using this system, we demonstrate the rapid isolation of influenza cross-reactive antibodies with high affinity from immunized mice within 7 days. This system is particularly useful for isolating therapeutic or diagnostic antibodies, for example during foreseen pandemics.
