Utilizing Generative Adversarial Network for Synthetic Image Generation to Address Imbalance Challenges in Chest X-Ray Image Classification
Authors: Utama Nugraha Priya , Muzakki Muhammad Faris
Published: February 2024

Deep learning-based classifiers need lots of image data to train. Unfortunately, not all real-world cases are supported by a huge amount of image data. One of the cases are images for classification of pneumonia infections with chest X-rays images. This study proposes a way of synthesizing chest X-rays with abnormal conditions in order to use the synthesized images for classification purposes. A GAN-based technique can generate synthetic images with greater quality that resemble original images thus can provide a more balanced data distribution than other approaches. To indirectly evaluate the quality of our GAN-based synthetic images, we used CNN-based classification architectures on diverse datasets. Three scenarios examined the effects of synthetic picture categorization. Scenario-1: adding 90% of synthesized images to the original images into the training dataset. Scenario-2: adding 50% of synthesized images to the original images. Scenario-3: adding 10% of synthesized image to the original images. The classification test revealed significantly increased F1 scores in all scenarios. Our study also emphasizes the significance of addressing the problem of imbalanced collections of chest X-ray images and the capability of GANs to alleviate this issue.

Comparative Analysis of Diffusion Metallization Coatings Applied on Steel Parts
Authors: Mammadov Arif , Mammadov Vugar
Published: February 2024

In this paper the positive and negative aspects of diffusion metallization of steels were reviewed. It was shown that at high heating temperatures and prolonged exposure under these temperatures, steels show a tendency to enlarge austenitic grain. Overheating can occur at high exposure temperatures (T>1000ᵒC), which can be rectified by repeated heating however if burning of the steel microstructure occurs, it cannot be corrected. Given these circumstances, when assigning diffusion metallization modes, it is necessary to consider the factor of overheating or burning of steel in the process of exposure to high temperatures. To avoid this phenomenon, it is recommended to use alternative low-temperature processes of diffusion saturation of steels. Nitriding, nitro-cementation, gas-thermal spraying of the surface of steels are shown as such examples. It was suggested that these processes in comparison with diffusion metallization are more promising and acceptable for the restoration of worn surfaces of steels in the manufacture of parts of specialized equipment. Given that the parts of specialized equipment work in extreme conditions, repeated high-temperature heating of these steels is not recommended.To overcome the shortcomings of the diffusion metallization, the most frequently used coatings are applied by CVD, thermal spray, and cloth cladding techniques. As an alternative promising solution, the development of innovative methods of diffusion saturation, like an ion plantation of atoms on a relatively cold surface of the part could also be considered. It is shown that diffusion metallization is most acceptable for saturation of the surface of non-ferrous metals and alloys with the hardest and wear-resistant compounds.

Published: February 2024

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic degenerative disease caused by a lack of insulin production in the pancreas or the body's ability to use insulin less effectively. According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), 4% of the total deaths in the world are caused by diabetes. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) notes that in 2013 there has been an increase in diabetes sufferers. Indonesia is the seventh place with the largest number of cases of diabetes mellitus. In this study, the method used to classify diabetes is using a random forest algorithm with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) optimization. This study resulted in an accuracy of the random forest classification algorithm of 78.2% and 82.1 using PSO optimization with an increase in value of 3.9%. It can be concluded that PSO optimization can provide a better increase in classification accuracy values when compared to the random forest algorithm without PSO optimization

Authors: Unvanli Yasin , ILHAN Ekrem Levent , Válková Hana
Published: February 2024

In society's foundational structure, families play a crucial role in overall happiness. Parental influence on child health is pivotal. While health challenges bring social, economic, and psychological burdens, resilience emerges as key. Resilience engages with self-esteem, benefiting parental well-being and care for special needs children, offering a positive environment for both. This study aims to explore the relationship between psychological resilience and self-esteem levels of parents of children with special needs, suggesting a positive link between elevated psychological resilience and self-esteem in parents. The study employed a relational scale strategy to investigate psychological resilience and self-esteem among parents of children with special needs. The sample comprised 156 parents of children with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities in Ankara, Turkey. Measures included the "Short Psychological Resilience Scale (SPRS)" and the "Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSS)." Data analysis encompassed descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and Multiple Linear Regression analysis (p<.05). In the study's results, the data demonstrated normal distribution. Employed parents demonstrated higher SPRS and RSS scores compared to unemployed parents. While parents with children engaged in sports displayed higher scores, the difference wasn't statistically significant (p>.05). Parents’ education level played a significant role; bachelor's degree holders had notably higher scores. Positive correlation was observed between SPRS and RSS scores (r=.411). Regression analysis confirmed a robust predictive relationship (R2=.169) between self-esteem and resilience. Raising special needs children requires elevated self-esteem and resilience due to multifaceted caregiving responsibilities. Traumatic experiences may impact self-esteem and resilience, prompting the need for a positive outlook for parental caregiving.
Home Advantage in the top Czech Hockey League
Authors: Pelloneová Natalie
Published: February 2024

Home advantage in sport has long been established as an important factor in determining the outcome of a match. According to this phenomenon, the home team should win more games and score more goals than the away team. Home advantage is a very complex phenomenon that is influenced by many different factors. One possible explanation is that the home crowd supports the home team's performance and also causes the referee to be under pressure and favor the home team. The aim of this paper is to quantify the home advantage in the Czech top hockey league. Using statistical analysis, the number of points scored, goals scored, shots taken, penalties awarded and penalty minutes in the 2019/20 season were compared. A total of 364 matches were analysed. The results showed the existence of a home advantage in the Czech top hockey league in the 2019/20 season. Implications for sport practice and possible directions for future research are discussed.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Diffuse Melanosis Cutis (DMC) is a rare and late complication of metastatic malignant melanoma (MM) characterized by progressive pigmentation of skin and sometimes mucous membranes. The distinctive feature is the widespread and progressive deposition of melanin precursors in the dermis.
Objectives: The purpose of this review is to define the clinical and demographic features of DMC and to promote a deeper insight into the clinical manifestation, histological findings, and pathophysiology behind DMC.
Methods: We have conducted a systematic review of the literature on published DMC in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. We also reported a case of DMC secondary to low-risk melanoma.
Results: Overall, including our case report, we reported 53 articles described 62 DMC patients. Breslow level of primary melanoma was reported having a mean value of 3.3 mm. The mean survival rate from onset of DMC resulted being 4.36 months.
Conclusions: Among the most widely accepted etiopathogenetic hypotheses are deposition of melanic precursors in the dermis following tumor lysis, melanocyte proliferation induced by neoplastic growth factors, and the presence of diffuse dermal micro-metastases of MM. However, unanimous consensus on the proposed etiopathogenetic models of DMC is still lacking.
Holism and the Gurdjieff Work
Authors: Seamon David ,   Academic Publishing
Published: February 2024

This article discusses two complementary approaches to wholeness at least partly indebted to the system of self-transformation developed by spiritual teacher G. I. Gurdjieff: first, British philosopher of science Henri Bortoft’s discussion of authentic wholeness; and second, British philosopher J. G. Bennett’s systematics, a method for describing phenomena via the qualitative significance of numbers. The article begins with a review of the significance of wholeness in recent Western thinking, including Western esotericism. The article then highlights Bortoft and Bennett’s approaches to wholeness and considers how their efforts relate to a Gurdjieffian point of view. The argument is made that Bortoft’s discussion of understanding sets the stage for the manner of encountering and knowing presupposed by Bennett’s systematics. The author then draws on Bennett’s systematics interpretation of two-ness (the dyad) and four-ness (the tetrad) to illustrate how a systematics perspective clarifies the wholeness of the Gurdjieff Work as it is a comprehensive system of psychological and spiritual transformation.

Utilizing Music Therapy for Enhanced Recovery from Neurologic Disease Complications
Authors:   Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran, Bahrami Sasan
Published: February 2024

Neurologic music therapy (NMT) has proven instrumental in aiding recovery from complications in patients with a diverse range of neurologic diseases. Integrating music and virtual reality with standard rehabilitation therapies enhances patient compliance and makes therapy more enjoyable. The act of listening to music not only reduces epileptiform discharges but also amplifies brain plasticity. Moreover, music induces discernible variations in brain anatomy between musicians and non-musicians. As a cost-effective intervention, music therapy significantly contributes to the accelerated and efficient recovery of post-stroke patients, particularly when applied promptly after the event. Substantial evidence supports the integration of music into rehabilitation programs, facilitating the recovery of hand function, dexterity, spatial movement, cognitive function, mood, coordination, stride length, and memory. Techniques such as learning words as lyrics, melodic intonation therapy, and singing play crucial roles in expediting recovery for aphasic patients. Recognized by the World Rehabilitation Federation, NMT therapists are valuable members of the rehabilitation team. The approval of NMT as an effective, evidence-based treatment method underscores its significance in enhancing patient outcomes.

Entrepreneurship is a mental attitude and spirit that is always active, creative, inventive, initiative and modest in trying to increase income in business activities. Someone who has an entrepreneurial spirit and attitude always feels dissatisfied with what he has achieved. Business is one of the main activities in supporting economic development. Here we take the culinary business "cheese roll". Culinary is defined as the process of making food. This term is not from Indonesian but from English, namely culinary, which means the technique of cooking, processing and serving food. From this background, the researchers conducted research with the aim of knowing the ability of PAUD Teacher Education students in developing a Cheese Roll Culinary Business to Increase Entrepreneurial Spirit in the 4.0 Revolution Era. The research method used is the literature study research method. The research was conducted for 2 months. From this research, it is known that the Cheese Roll business in terms of ideas, market targets, financial plans in the form of capital, and others, has promising prospects in the future. The biggest challenge in the marketing and promotion of this Cheese Roll product is the many competitors with similar products. Therefore, the target market for this business must be right on target and convincing.

Introduction: In randomized clinical trials, the methodological idea of preventing bias by withholding knowledge of the allocation status is known as blinding. Blinding refers back to the concealment of group allocation from one or extra individuals concerned in scientific studies, most commonly a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Even though randomization minimizes variations among treatment groups on the outset of the trial, it does nothing to prevent differential treatment of the groups later within the trial or the differential assessment of outcomes, either of which may also bring about biased estimates of treatment outcomes. The most beneficial strategy to limit the chance of differential remedy or assessments of results is to blind as many individuals as viable in a trial. Objective: To study the extent of blinding induced bias in RCT of physiotherapy interventions and to evaluate the extent of interpretative consideration it the trials are not blinded in the sample of RCT included. Methodology : We conducted a retrospective analysis to estimate the blinding bias in the randomized controlled trials published in physiotherapy interventions from 2016 to 2022. Results & Conclusion : We included 50 RCTs for blinding assessment. About 88% of included articles were not having participants blinding 90% has not done therapist blinding and nearly 50% of studies were conducted without assessors blinding. Based on the results of this study blinding of important participants were infrequently reported in the included studies. Keywords: Blinding, Risk of bias, Physiotherapy, Randomized controlled trials

Millets are a nutrient-rich staple meal for the world's poor, and increasing the nutrient bioavailability is one of the key strategies for promoting their use. To enhance the edible, nutritive, and sensory qualities of millets, they are often prepared using conventional processing methods. Thus an attempt was made with an objective to assess the physical and functional properties of sprouted and unsprouted millets and to observe the acceptability of the laddu prepared from sprouted and unsprouted millets. Physical and functional properties for both sprouted and unsprouted grain and flour were analyzed using standard techniques. These properties were studied in 4 different millets i.e. kodo millet, finger millet, little millet, and sorghum. Physico-chemical properties have shown that sprouted millets have some of the good cooking properties and sensory evaluation has also show to be more acceptable.

Albinism is a common hereditary condition characterized by the absence or reduction of melanin production in melanocytes, resulting in the distinctive white appearance of the skin, hair, and eyes. The complex process of melanin production involves the tyrosinase enzyme, copper, tyrosine (phenylalanine), and is under genetic control. Ocular albinism, primarily affecting the eyes, is X-linked and presents with varying amounts of melanin in the hair and skin. However, some individuals exhibit a complete absence of melanin in the skin, eyes, and hair, which is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. The incidence of albinism varies across populations, with a higher prevalence observed in regions with darker skin tones, such as Africa, where the incidence is approximately 1 in 200 individuals. In contrast, in regions with predominantly light-colored skin, like Europe, albinism is less prevalent, affecting approximately 1 in 2000 individuals. India, with its diverse population, presents a unique context, making individuals with albinism easily noticeable. Exposure to sunlight can lead to sunburn and photophobia, further limiting their daily activities and livelihoods. In this case series, we present five cases of albinism within a single family, highlighting the challenges they face in their daily lives, including the avoidance of outdoor activities due to sun sensitivity. The psychological schemas of experiencing feelings of shyness, embarrassment, and social withdrawal due to the heightened visibility of their condition were discussed in focused group discussion. This case series underscores the importance of understanding and addressing the unique social and healthcare needs of individuals and families affected by albinism in diverse global contexts.
