Transformer architectures have become the main component of various state-of-the-art methods for natural language processing tasks, such as Named Entity Recognition and Relation Extraction (NER+RE). As these architectures rely on semantic (contextual) aspects of word sequences, they may fail to accurately identify and delimit entity spans when there is little semantic context surrounding the named entities. This is the case of entities composed only by digits and punctuation, such as IDs and phone numbers, as well as long composed names. In this article, we propose new techniques for contextual reinforcement and entity delimitation based on pre- and post-processing techniques to provide a richer semantic context, improving SpERT, a state-of-the-art Span-based Entity and Relation Transformer. To provide further context to the training process of NER+RE, we propose a data augmentation technique based on Generative Pretrained Transformers (GPT). We evaluate our strategies using real data from public administration documents (official gazettes and biddings) and court lawsuits. Our results show that our pre- and post-processing strategies, when used co-jointly, allows significant improvements on NER+ER effectiveness, while we also show the benefits of using GPT for training data augmentation.

Published: December 2023

Background
In 2016, two Canadian hospitals participated in a quality improvement (QI) program, the International Acute Care for Elders (ACE) Collaborative, and sought to adapt and implement a transition coach intervention (TCI). Both hospitals were challenged to provide optimal continuity of care for an increasing number of older adults. The two hospitals received initial funding, coaching, educational materials, and tools to adapt the TCI to their local contexts, but the QI pro-ject teams achieved different results. We aimed to compare the implementation of the ACE TCI in these two Canadian hospitals to identify the factors influencing the adaptation of the intervention to the local contexts and to understand their different results.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective multiple case study, including documentary analysis, 21 semi-structured individual interviews, and two focus groups. We performed thematic analysis using a hybrid inductive-deductive approach.
Results
Both hospitals met initial organizational goals to varying degrees. Our qualitative analysis highlighted certain factors that were critical to the effective implementation and achievement of the QI project goals: the magnitude of changes and adaptations to the initial intervention; the organizational approaches to the QI project implementation, management, and monitoring; the organizational context; the change management strategies; the ongoing health system reform and organizational restructuring. Our study also identified other key factors for successful care transition QI projects: minimal adaptation to the original evidence-based intervention; use of a collaborative, bottom-up approach; use of a theoretical model to support sustainability; support from clinical and organizational leadership; a strong organizational culture for QI; access to timely quality measures; financial support; use of a knowledge management platform; and involvement of an integrated research team and expert guidance.
Conclusion
Many of the lessons learned and strategies identified from our analysis will help clinicians, managers, and policymakers better address the issues and challenges of adapting evidence-based innovations in care transitions for older adults to local contexts.
ACP Conversations with Chinese and South Asian Patients: Physicians’ Perspectives of Barriers and Facilitating Factors
Authors: Vashisht Avantika , Gutman Gloria , Kaur Taranjot
Published: December 2023

Introduction/Objective
Advance Care Planning (ACP) discussions are infrequently conducted with physicians, even fewer among minorities. We explored physicians’ experiences in engaging Chinese (CH) and South Asian (SA) patients in ACP conversations to understand initiation and participation patterns, topics covered, and barriers and facilitating factors.
Method
Twenty-two physicians with 15%+ SA patients aged 55+ and 19 with 15%+ CH patients aged 55+ were interviewed.
Results
SA- and CH-serving physicians described similar initiation patterns, cultural context, and need for standardized ACP routines. However, the SA-serving physicians described greater involvement of family members, while CH-serving physicians described more communication barriers and family members’ desire to hide the diagnosis from patients.
Conclusion
Cultural taboos surrounding discussion around death and dying appear to influence CH older adults and families strongly. Lack of familiarity with ACP amongst the SA population accounts more for their limited engagement in ACP discussions.
Prevalence of Acetylsalicylic Acid Use for Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Amongst Older Adults From 2017—2021: a Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Bolt Jennifer , Barry Arden R. , Inglis Colleen , Lin Stephanie , Pan Jeffrey
Published: December 2023

BackgroundThree landmark trials on the use of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) were published in 2018. Since then, major clinical practice guidelines have been updated with recommendations against the routine use of ASA for primary CVD prevention, particularly in older adults. However, little is known about the uptake of this evidence into real world practice. The purpose of this study was to assess the change in ASA usage for primary prevention of CVD in older adults between 2017 and 2021.
Methods
A retrospective cross-sectional study of ASA use for primary prevention in ambulatory older adults without known CVD in an urban Canadian city was conducted.
Results
Seven hundred and fifty-six participants were included. The mean age was 78.9 years (standard deviation 7.9) and 64.8% were female. One hundred and thirty (17.2%) participants used ASA for primary prevention, including 20.3% in 2017, 17.0% in 2018, 21.8% in 2019, 16.3% in 2020, and 11.0% in 2021 (p = .061). Female sex was associated with lower ASA use (odds ratio [OR] 0.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.29-0.68) and hypertension was associated with higher ASA use (OR 2.72, 95% CI 1.73-4.29).
Conclusions
Use of ASA for primary CVD prevention in older Canadians decreased between 2017 and 2021, suggesting an uptake of clinical trial data and practice guideline recommendations. Focusing on deprescribing of ASA for primary CVD prevention continues to be warranted, given the risks associated with ASA in this population.

The Making and Unmaking of Ordoliberal Language
Authors: Küsters Anselm
Published: December 2023

The ordoliberal school of competition thought is a distinct linguistic community whose conceptual and semantic influence extended far beyond Germany and eventually shaped the European legal order. Linguistic misunderstandings still impacted the negotiations of the founding European Treaties, but in the subsequent application of the new rules, the Freiburg School’s ordoliberal ideas gained in popularity. In the early 2000s, this ordoliberal language was replaced by neoliberal concepts borrowed from the Chicago School. The study combines archival materials, oral history interviews, case law and Text Mining methods. In doing so, it contributes to the historiography of EU competition law, the post-war history of ordoliberalism, and methodological debates about Digital Humanities.
Tizian – Pictor Poeticus
Authors: Bertling Biaggini Claudia
Published: December 2023

Tiziano Vecellio from Pieve di Cadore (1488/90-1576) is considered one of the most important Venetian Renaissance painters. In this book, the author analyzes selected works by the artist under the aspects of materiality and volatilization with a special focus on the application of paint and the painterly process. Based on Titian's handling of light and color, explanatory approaches for a diaphanous pictorial effect are presented here.
The description of light in Dante Alighieri's Commedia (completed in 1321), a much-received work in the Renaissance, is used here as a reading aid for a better understanding of Titian's paintings: both the poet and the painter modeled their figures in light.
Wilhelm Windelband's Historical Philosophy
Authors: Páez Bonifaci Jacinto
Published: December 2023

Within the broader reevaluation of the Neo-Kantian movement, this book undertakes the task of reconstructing Wilhelm Windelband’s philosophical endeavor. Windelband’s philosophical program was centered on the synthesis of two seemingly antithetical forces: transcendental philosophy and historical consciousness. He possessed a keen awareness of the intricacies inherent to historical thought and the compelling necessity to reformulate transcendental philosophy in terms of a true historical philosophy. This conceptual evolution ultimately steers his philosophical program away from its initial Neo-Kantian roots, giving rise to a novel strain of Neo-Hegelianism.
Credit Rating Over-Reliance in Asset Management
Authors: Müller Marius
Published: December 2023

The 2008 financial crisis brought the far-reaching influence of credit ratings on capital markets into focus and confirmed doubts about the quality of ratings published by rat-ing agencies. In the context of regulatory efforts to limit the influence of ratings, Marius Müller addresses the question to what extent investment funds are obliged to sell bonds that no longer comply with investment guidelines following a rating downgrade. Results of a statistical analysis of 200 European and U.S. fund prospectuses are evaluated in the light of regulatory objectives. Subsequently, a structural proposal for the formulation of investment guidelines is developed, accounting for the protection of investor interests and market functioning.

Novel Techniques and Local Anesthetics for Perioperative Pain Management
Authors: Wang Ashley , Kerolus Katrina , Garry Evan , Li Deborah , Desai Amruta , Bergese Sergio
Published: December 2023

Careful perioperative pain management is crucial for good patient outcomes after surgery, as poorly controlled pain interferes with the ability of patients to recover to normal baseline function and increases postoperative morbidity and mortality. Although opioids have been the mainstay for treating postoperative pain, there has been a shift in favor of a multimodal analgesic approach, including regional anesthesia, as a way to circumvent opioid-related adverse events (e.g. nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, sedation). In this chapter, we present an update on several recently developed regional anesthetic techniques, local anesthetic medications, as well as nerve block adjuncts with the potential to improve pain management in the perioperative setting. With more future studies, these novel methods may be incorporated into postsurgical recovery protocols and provide the opportunity to improve patient outcomes.

Improvising QoS through Cross-Layer Optimization in MANETs
Authors:   DIT University, Dehradun, India, Patel Surabhi , Pathak Heman
Published: December 2023

In Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs), nodes are mobile and interact through wireless links. Mobility is a significant advantage of MANETs. However, due to the unpredictable nature of mobility, the link may fail frequently, degrading the Quality of Service (QoS) of MANETs applications. This paper outlines a novel Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector with Proactive Alternate Route Discovery (AODV-PARD) routing protocol that uses signal strength-based link failure time estimation. The node predicts the link failure time and warns the upstream node through a warning message about the failure. On the basis of this information, a mechanism for identifying alternate routes is started in order to reroute traffic to the alternate route prior to the link failure. It significantly reduces packet loss and improves all the QoS parameters. The suggested protocol is compared to the traditional Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol and shows that the outlined protocol results in an improvement in QoS.

Published: December 2023

Students of today are exposed to technologies that are either educationally effective or distractive. Most of them are having a hard time learning in a traditional classroom setup, are easily distracted, and have difficulty remembering lessons just learned and prerequisite skills needed in learning new lessons. Game-Based Intelligent Tutoring System (GB-ITS) is a technology that provides an individualized learning experience based on student’s learning needs. GB-ITS mimics a teacher doing one-on-one teaching, also known as tutoring, which is more cost-efficient than human tutors. This study developed a general-purpose Memory Enhancer Games system, in a form of a GB-ITS. This study was conducted at Calasiao Comprehensive National High School, identified the game type that best enhances memory and the game features for this proposed system through a questionnaire by (9) ICT teacher respondents. The developed system in this study has undergone validity testing by (8) ICT teachers and professors from Schools Division I of Pangasinan, and of a University in Dagupan City, and acceptability testing by (100) senior high school students of Calasiao Comprehensive National High School, 1st semester of school year 2022-2023, using Likert scale to determine its appropriateness as an intelligent learning tool. The results of the game design questionnaire confirmed the studies of which elements were ideal for a GB-ITS, and both the validity and acceptability survey questionnaires with overall weighted means of 4.57 and 4.08, show that the system is a valid and acceptable intelligent learning tool. The developed MEG can also be of use for testing game features for educational effectiveness and can also contribute to any future study which will conduct to test whether a general-purpose GBL or GB-ITS model would compare; if won’t equal the effectiveness of GBLs designed for delivering specific contents or subjects.
An Improved Sampling Dijkstra Approach for Robot Navigation and Path Planning
Authors:   Computer Science Department, Palestine Technical College, Deir El-Balah, Palestine, Tanira Ayman H. , AbuHadrous Iyad M. I.
Published: December 2023

The task of path planning is extremely investigated in mobile robotics to determine a suitable path for the robot from the source point to the target point. The intended path should satisfy purposes such as collision-free, shortest-path, or power-saving. In the case of a mobile robot, many constraints should be considered during the selection of path planning algorithms such as static or dynamic environment and holonomic or non-holonomic robot. There is a pool of path-planning algorithms in the literature. However, Dijkstra is still one of the effective algorithms due to its simplicity and capabilities to compute single-source shortest-path to every position in the workspace. Researchers propose several versions of the Dijkstra algorithm, especially in mobile robotics. In this paper, we propose an improved approach based on the Dijkstra algorithm with a simple sampling method to sample the workspace to avoid an exhaustive search of the Dijkstra algorithm which consumes time and resources. The goal is to identify the same optimal shortest path resulting from the Dijkstra algorithm with minimum time and number of turns i.e., a smoothed path. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves the Dijkstra algorithm with respect to the running time and the number of turns of the mobile robot and outperforms the RRT algorithm concerning the path length.

(English) The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are large, stable and calibratecl sets of spaceborne L-band microwave transmitters with very well characterized properties. They provide global and permanent coverage as required by the meteorological, oceano­graphical and climate scientist. All these features make the GNSS signal an appropriate candidate to be an excellent source of opportunity for bistatic monitoring of the Occans surface.
The dissertation SEA SURFACE DETERMINATI0N USING GNSS REFLECTED SIGNALS tackles the question of how the GNSS signal scattered of the ocean surface can be used to obtain geophysical information about the sea-air interface. The focus is put on the retrieval of the surface roughness and/or the wind.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this work was to highlight the establishment of endomycorrhizal symbiosis in Intsia bijuga under certain conditions related to the presence of endomycorrhizal plants and show the effectiveness of symbiosis. The experiments were conducted at greenhouse. Single and dual cultivation of Intsia bijuga with each of the three different species of endomycorrhizal host plants (Zea mays, Crotalaria juncea and Dalbergia trichocarpa) on sterilized poor soil and forest soils (sterilized and unsterilized) were performed. On sterilized poor soil, the culture was inoculated by inoculums of endomycorrhizal fungi Glomus intraradices (syn. Rhizophagus irregularis). The effectiveness of the endomycorrhizal establishment was evaluated by the colonization of the roots by endomycorrhizae, the rate of Nitrogen and Phosphorus accumulated in leaves and plant mycorhizal dependency. Dual cultivation of Intsia bijuga with each of the three endomycorhizal host plants allowed endomycorhizal establishment in its roots and Intsia bijuga development was significantly improved by endomycorrhizal establishment. The biomass and the rates of N and P were significantly high in endomycorrhizal plants. Mycorrhizal dependency of Intsia bijuga in dual cultivation either with Crotalaria juncea or with Dalbergia trichocarpa (legumes) was lower than those with Zea mays. Endomycorrhizal symbiosis was effective in Intsia bijuga cultivated with endomycorrhizal host plants.

This study aims to determine the legal certainty of polygamy in Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage in Indonesia. This research uses the Pustaka research method (field research). This research is descriptive normative, namely how to approach the problem under study based on the norms contained in laws relating to the legal certainty of polygamy. Data collection techniques include observation and interviews. The data analysis uses inductive and deductive techniques. The results in this study show that Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage has a requirement of a regulation, namely having legal certainty. This law has regulated how a man under certain conditions can have more than one wife. Criticism of gender injustice by making reproductive reasons as the basis for a man to be able to marry more than 1 person is also a living law that must be accommodated in regulations. The pros and cons of community living law related to polygamy must be addressed wisely by the regulators (DPR) so that the middle way can be accepted by all parties, such as eliminating the reason for sitri more than 1 person in psal 4 paragraph (2) of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, and directly to article 5

Authors: Fauzi Harry , Mughni Sulubara Seri , Murthada  , Yanti Syafridha
Published: December 2023

Penyalahgunaan penggunaan narkotika merupakan masalah yang krusial bagi sebuah bangsa. Persoalan yang muncul memiliki dampak yang sangat masif bagi segala aspek kehidupan manusia. Restorative justice merupakan proses  penyelesaian yang dilakukan di luar sistem peradilan pidana (criminal justice system) dengan melibatkan korban, pelaku, keluarga korban dan pelaku, masyarakat, serta pihak-pihak yang berkepentingan dengan suatu tindak pidana yang terjadi untuk mencapai kesepakatan dan penyelesaian. Penyalahgunaan penggunaan narkotika di Aceh khususnya di Kota Banda Aceh semakin meningkat. Berdasarkan hasil data survei Badan Narkotika Nasional (BNN) bahwa sebanyak 73.201 warga Aceh terindikasi kecanduan narkotika. Namun dari total jumlah tersebut hanya 916 pecandu narkotika yang direhabilitasi dan selebihnya belum mendapatkan layanan rehabilitasi. Undang-undang nomor 35 Tahun 2009 Pasal 54 menyebutkan tentang narkotika menyebutkan bahwa Pecandu narkotika wajib menjalani rehabilitasi medis dan rehabilitasi sosial. Penerapan rehabilitasi medis dan rehabilitasi sosial terhadap pelaku tindak pidana narkotika memerlukan adanya kerjasama yang sinergi antara Badan Narkotika Nasional (BNN) Provinsi Aceh dan Jaksa Penuntut Umum pemerintahan dan juga masyarakat ikut serta berkoordinasi bersama untuk memberantas peredaran narkotika dan mengupayakan rehabilitasi medis dan sosial bagi pecandu narkotika di wilayah Kota Banda Aceh. Penyelesaian perkara berdasarkan restorative justice secara garis besar ialah penyelesaian tindak pidana yang melibatkan pelaku, korban, keluarga pelaku/korban dan pihak yang terkait untuk bersama-sama mencari penyelesaian yang adil dengan menekankan pemulihan bukan pembalasan. Jadi terdakwa tindak pidana penyalahgunaan narkotika diberikan program rehabilitasi medis dan rehabilitasi sosial sehingga bisa sembuh dari ketergantungan dan bisa kembali kepada masyarakat sehingga bisa menjadi aktivitas sehari-hari seperti biasa. Rehabilitasi medis dan rehabilitasi sosial dilakukan dengan harapan bahwa setelah menjalani terapi pelaku penyalahguna narkotika bisa sembuh tanpa harus menjalani proses hukuman penjara.

Published: December 2023

This study is the first to conduct a literature review of the ability to think critically in problem-based learning and inquiry learning models in physics education. The method used is qualitative research with a literature review system. This research data collection technique uses secondary data, namely relevant research articles. The process of reviewing articles in this study focuses on problem-based learning and inquiry learning models that can improve students’ critical thinking skills in physics concepts and phenomena. The instruments used in data collection included reviewing scientific articles sourced from Google Scholar with the criteria for selected articles according to search keywords and selected articles published within the last 10 years and analyzed using a synthesis matrix. From the literature study that has been carried out, the researcher found as many as 25 articles regarding problem-based learning and inquiry learning models that can improve students’ critical thinking skills in physics education. With these learning models, students’ low critical thinking skills in physics learning can be increased and students understand physics learning better. The novelty of this study is that it provides a comprehensive and systematic overview of the existing literature on the effectiveness of problem-based learning and inquiry learning models in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills in physics education. The implications of this study are that it can inform teachers, curriculum developers, and policymakers on how to design and implement problem-based learning and inquiry learning models in physics education to foster students’ critical thinking skills and learning outcomes.

Authors: Kiraga Festo
Published: December 2023

This research is the first to conduct a systematic review of problem solving learning in physics learning. The research aims to synthesize the existing literature on the learning models and experimental methods that can improve high school students’ physics problem solving abilities. The method used in this research is qualitative research using a systematic literature review method. Data collection techniques by reviewing books, journals, literature, notes and various reports related to the problem you want to solve. Data samples were taken by tracing several scientific articles resulting from previous researchers’ research on developmental, experimental and descriptive research. The data analysis technique used is matrix synthesis. Based on the research that has been conducted, it was found that almost all articles apply learning models and use experimental methods to improve high school students’ physics problem solving abilities. The research contributes to the literature on physics education and problem solving by providing a comprehensive and systematic overview of the existing literature on problem solving learning in physics learning. The novelty of this research is that it introduces a new framework of problem solving learning in physics learning. The research also provides empirical evidence of the effectiveness and feasibility of problem solving learning in physics learning. Future research may conduct empirical studies to test the effectiveness and feasibility of problem solving learning in physics learning.
Inteligencia emocional y flexibilidad psicológica en estudiantes universitarios
Authors: Gomez Muñoz Anthony Andree , Vargas Espín Alba del Pilar
Published: December 2023

La inteligencia emocional enfatiza en la habilidad para atender, comprender y procesar las emociones propias y de los demás; mientras que la flexibilidad psicológica se centra en conectar con el momento presente y la capacidad de reaccionar a situaciones cambiantes de manera adecuada. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo principal determinar la relación entre inteligencia emocional y flexibilidad psicológica en estudiantes universitarios. El estudio se realizó mediante un diseño no experimental, de corte transversal, de tipo cuantitativo, descriptivo – correlacional. Con una población inicial de 881 estudiantes al que se aplicó un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia con una muestra final de 235 participantes (72 hombres y 163 mujeres), con un rango de edad de 18 a 30 años. Se aplicó la escala para la evaluación de la expresión, manejo y reconocimiento de emociones, (TMMS-24) que fue utilizada para evaluar inteligencia emocional y para evaluar flexibilidad psicológica se utilizó el cuestionario de Aceptación Acción II (AAQ-II). Los resultados arrojaron una relación positiva leve (Rho=0.378, p<.001) entre la dimensión atención emocional y flexibilidad psicológica. Concluyendo que, a mayor inteligencia emocional, mayor flexibilidad psicológica.

Se evaluó la influencia del uso del suelo en el contenido y la distribución de carbonatos edáficos en sitios representativos de tres cuencas en la península de Santa Elena. Se realizaron dos muestreos: uno en la superficie, a una profundidad de 0-30 cm (Río Verde: 100 puntos; El Chaparral: 50 puntos; PIDAASSE: 100 puntos, Manglaralto: 50 puntos), y otro en profundidad (0-10, 10-20, 20-40, 40-60 y 60-100 cm) en sitios conservados bajo bosque seco tropical. Se empleó el método del calcímetro de Bernard para determinar el carbonato de calcio equivalente (CCE). Se concluye que los suelos en los sitios investigados de las diferentes cuencas son ligeramente calcáreos y presentan bajos niveles de carbonatos totales, por lo que no constituyen un problema potencial para los cultivos en la actualidad. La distribución de los carbonatos en profundidad en suelos con influencia aluvial, puede responder a la dinámica sedimentológica asociada a períodos lluviosos y eventos extremos cíclicos, se evidenció la influencia del uso del suelo en los contenidos de CCE, se hallaron diferencias estadísticas significativas para los suelos con menor intervención antrópica en los sitios con diferentes gradientes de humedad, sin embargo, no se encontraron diferencias entre los sitios con las condiciones climáticas más contrastantes, Manglaralto (subhúmeda) y Zapotal (árida), bajo usos agrícolas de cultivos de ciclo corto e intermedio, atribuibles a la influencia de las prácticas agrícolas. Estos resultados pueden considerarse un indicio del avance de la desertificación en las regiones de las más húmedas del norte peninsular.
