Published: December 2024

The development and use of digital technology in everyday life also affects education. Interactive videos are one of the tools to enhance the learning experience by allowing students to participate actively and individually. This paper presents the freely available website Videoslovenščina and the results of a two-part-study on language teaching with interactive videos in 4th grade Slovene Language classes. In the part A of the study, a t-test with independent samples showed, among other things, that students who used the interactive videos in class performed better on a test of writing names than students who did not use the videos. The results of part B of the study showed that the vast majority of fourth graders surveyed preferred the use of interactive videos to traditional instruction, citing a number of benefits of such instruction.
Nekaj teoretskih izhodišč pri proučevanju jezikovne variantnosti
Authors: Bitenc Maja
Published: December 2024

The article addresses selected theoretical issues in the study of language variation and change, aiming to contribute to the reflection on researching and describing the variation of spoken Slovene. In the first part, it highlights certain terminological dilemmas and key points in the treatment of this field in Slovene linguistics and justifies the use of the term "variety". Furthermore, it addresses criteria for defining varieties: homogeneity and covariance, cognitive boundaries and emic category status, and idiovarietary features. It also examines the vertical stratification between dialects and standard language and describes European models of variety constellations, as defined by the German linguist Peter Auer in his seminal article from 2005.
SegmOnto: A Controlled Vocabulary to Describe and Process Digital Facsimiles
Authors: Gabay Simon , Pinche Ariane , Christensen Kelly , Camps Jean-Baptiste
Published: December 2024

Our initiative aims at designing a controlled vocabulary for the description of the layout of textual sources: SegmOnto. Following a more physical approach rather than a strictly semantic one, it is designed as a pragmatic and generic typology, coping with most of the Western historical documents rather than answering specific needs. The harmonisation of the layout description has a double objective: on the one hand it facilitates the mutualisation of annotated data and therefore the training of better models for page segmentation (a crucial preliminary step for text recognition), on the other hand it allows the development of a shared post-processing workflow and pipeline for the transformation of ALTO or PAGE files into DH standard formats, which preserves as much as possible the link between the extracted information and the digital facsimile. To demonstrate the capacity of SegmOnto to answer both these objectives, we aggregate data from multiple projects to train a layout analysis model, and we propose a prototype of a generic pipeline for converting ALTO-XMLs into XML-TEI.
Effect of Telehealth Interventions on Hypertension Management in a Veterans Affairs Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC)
Authors:   , Schumacher Cherilyn
Published: December 2024

Practice Problem: Per U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (2020), hypertension (HTN) is prevalent in active and retired military personnel with 13% of those in active duty and in “more than one in three Veterans…making it the most common chronic condition for Veterans” (p. 1). Per the Electronic Quality Measure (eQM) portal, a PACT clinic in a CBOC is scoring well below the national and facility benchmarks, showing a need for an intervention that will improve HTN management.

PICOT: For current veteran patients ages 18-85 assigned to a PACT (P), what is the effect of nurse-led telehealth blood pressure (BP) check visits (I) compared to current practices (C) in improving the capture of BP readings by 5% in eQM (O) in a 4-week period (T)?

Evidence: Implementation of virtual modalities can improve HTN management.

Intervention: Implementing telehealth visits via Veterans Video Connect (VVC) and reaching out to Veterans who are on the eQM generated fall out list to capture BP readings. Obtaining the BP reading will allow the patient to drop off the fall out list, improving the eQM measure “ihd53h_ec.” If the BP reading is below 140/90, the Veteran will also drop off the fall out list.

Outcome: After the project’s implementation of VVC visits, the rate of BP capture increased significantly to 76%, which was an improvement of 18.98%.

Conclusion: There is a clinical and statistical positive effect of nurse-led telehealth BP check visits compared to current practices in improving the capture and measurement of BP readings among current veteran patients ages 18-85 assigned to a PACT at a VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic

Authors: Kurtulget Ebru , Çepikkurt Fatma
Published: December 2024

This study was conducted to examine the relationship between perfectionism and mental toughness in track and field athletes. A total of 280 track and fieldathletes participated in this study as voluntarily, 105 female (X age = 20.89 ± 2.33) and 175 male (X age = 21.22 ± 3.38). “Sport Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (SÖÇBMÖ)”, “Sport Mental Toughness Questionnaire-SMTQ-14 ” and, Personal Information were used as data collection tools in this study. Descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson Correlation Analysis and canonical correlation analysis were applied in the analysis of the data. The results revealed that, male and female athletes did not differ between perfectionism and mental toughness scores. Further, it also shows that the perfectionism and mental toughness scores of track and field athletes do not differ according to their branch categories and injury status. But, according the nationality of athletes, there was a significant difference in favor of national track and field athletes in the personal sub-dimension of perfectionism and in the control sub-dimension of mental toughness. It was concluded as a result of the canonical correlation analysis conducted to determine whether there is a relationship between the perfectionism and mental toughness scores of track and field athletes which is the main problem of this study that, there was a significant relationship between the perfectionism and mental toughness scores of track and field athletes. In conclusion, considering the findings obtained in the study, it can be said that male and female track and field athletes reflect similar perfectionism characteristics and, their mental toughness are similar. National track and field athletes can be defined as mentally overcontrolled track and field athletes having high personal standards. It can also be said that track and field athletes with positive perfectionism tendencies have high mental toughness but, track and field athletes with negative perfectionism tendencies have less mental toughness.
IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF (PROTO)SLAVIC TRACES IN THE SHORT STORIES OF SLAVONIAN ETHNOGRAPHER JOSIP LOVRETIĆ
Authors:   Filozofski fakultet u Osijeku, LUKIĆ Milica , NOVOSELAC Katica
Published: December 2024

This work explores potential traces of (Proto)Slavic substratum in thir-teen selected short stories and sketches by Slavonian writer and ethnographer Josip Lovretić, aiming to lay the groundwork for a monographic study on this issue. This is achieved through a combination of philological and cultural approaches, focusing on three elements: a) folk customs and songs accom-panying festivals throughout the church calendar year, b) (mythical) landscape woven into the narrative through descriptions of nature, and c) folk beliefs and tales. The chosen approach to identifying remnants of Proto-Slavic spiritual culture in the Slavonian context of J. Lovretić's narrative texts is inspired and reinforced by Radoslav Katičić's monographic studies on traces of pre-Chri-stian antiquity, i.e., the ancient faith of the Slavs, and is based on an analytical reading of sources and establishing connections with the ethnographic study "Otok. Folk Life and Customs" by the same author.Keywords: Josip Lovretić, short stories, Proto-Slavic substratum, Sla-vic mythology, ancient faith, Christianity
“ETHNOGRAPHIC RARITY“: THE JEWS OF MONTENEGROIN SOCIALIST YUGOSLAVIA
Authors:   Institute of History of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czech Republic, ŠÍSTEK František
Published: December 2024

The article provides the first overview of the largely hidden and invisible Jewish presence in Montenegro during the socialist period (1945-1991). The author analyzes the relevant demographic data and the wider political, social and cultural context of Jewish life in Yugoslavia and Montenegro. Several representative individual destinies and life trajectories of people of Jewish origin who settled in Montenegro after the Second World War are discussed. Mixed (intercultural) Jewish-Montenegrin families became a rule rather than an exception in the second half of the 20th century. The article also sums up the Operation Velvetta from 1948, a secret military mission which allowed the transfer of Spitfire fighter planes from Czechoslovakia through Monte-negro (airfield Kapino Polje near Nikšić) to Israel during its war for independence. The last section discusses the life trajectory of Danilo Kiš (1935-1989), Yugoslav writer of Jewish-Montenegrin origin, and his elaborations of Jewish identity.

O presente trabalho analisa o impacto que as informações orçamentárias têm sobre a jurisprudência do STF em decisões sobre modulação de efeitos em matéria tributária. Demonstra-se os motivos pelos quais se entende que somente informações efetivamente constantes do ARF da LDO é que podem embasar o chamado argumento orçamentário, sob pena de ausência de referibilidade, transparência, contraditório e normatividade do regime jurídico orçamentário, bem como tais critérios técnicos acabam por não serem observados pela jurisprudência do STF.
Ressignificação da Legalidade Tributária e a Busca por Uma Administração Dialógica
Authors: Maria Martins Debora
Published: December 2024

A legislação dispõe sobre a restrição do poder de tributar, como a exigência de lei para definição de tributo e a sua irretroatividade como regra. Todavia, é frequente a adoção de critérios genéricos, para posterior ou, ainda, a delegação expressa de competência normativa, fenômeno este chamado de legalidade suficiente ou de deslegalização tributária. Questionou-se: o modelo em questão adotado permite melhor eficiência da Administração Pública e proporciona participação popular nas políticas tributárias? Em termos metodológicos, foi utilizado o método qualitativo, com os objetivos de entender o novo conceito de legalidade tributária e a aplicação dele pelo STF; analisar as peculiaridades desse fenômeno; examinar a influência dele no âmbito da gestão da administração tributária. Concluiu-se que o fenômeno em questão permite o afastamento do contribuinte do sistema tributário. A retirada da discussão no âmbito do Poder Legislativo também permite a supressão da participação de inúmeros atos políticos típicos da discussão legislativa, tais como diversos grupos econômicos, partidos políticos, comissões, assim como diminui as chances de se acompanhar o debate por meio de sítios de comunicação. O contribuinte passa a ter papel cada vez mais passivo na construção do sistema tributário, permitindo-se o distanciamento da gestão pública.

Published: December 2024

A conversa sobre a morte é considerada no processo histórico de evolução humana alvo de sentimentos de negatividade e evitação, sendo um símbolo na prática médica de fracasso e impotência. Essa visão de estudos da morte como área negligenciada e atrelada à uma carga de peso e divergência do objetivo médico em salvar vidas, reduz os espaços de educação e capacitação nas escolas médicas frente à comunicação de más notícias e ao desenvolvimento de habilidades no contato com familiares e paciente sobre o processo de passagem da vida em seu ciclo tendo  como a morte o ponto final de encerramento de uma história e merecendo ser tratada como um cuidado personalizado, humanizado e centrado na pessoa. Considerando a fragilidade das escolas médicas na abordagem da morte, o presente trabalho traz uma revisão narrativa e reflexiva sobre momentos de transição e impactos na formação do estudante de medicina que contribuem para a perpetuação da abordagem fragmentada, fria e evitativa, na desvalorização do ensino de humanidades e da melhoria de qualidade de vida em todas as fases do ciclo da vida, áreas que fazem interface entre a formação em medicina de família e cuidados paliativos.

Secure Healthcare Monitoring and Attack Detection Framework using ELUS-BILSTM and STECAES
Authors: Jani Y. , P. Raajan
Published: December 2024

The patterns of providing health-centric services have transformed extremely with the enhancement along with innovations in mobile and wireless communication technologies subsuming the Internet of Things (IoT). Due to the rapidly increasing attack, the doctors were not provided with an accurate alerting mechanism by the prevailing health monitoring system. Thus, by utilizing the Exponential Linear activation Units-centred Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (ELUS-BiLSTM) technique, a novel healthcare monitoring along with an attack detection system is proposed in this work. Attack detection, Data security, and Patient health monitoring are the three primary phases incorporated in the proposed methodology. Initially, from the patient, the data are collected, and then the features are extracted in the attack detection phase. Next, the features being extracted are inputted to the ELUS-BiLSTM classifier where the data is classified as attacked or non-attacked data. After that, by utilizing Skew Tent Elliptic Curve Advanced Encryption Standard (STECAES), the non-attacked data is encrypted whereas the attacked data is stored in the log file. Lastly, to generate the fuzzy rules, the encrypted data is utilized; subsequently, the alert message is sent to the doctor. The experiential outcomes displayed that when analogized with the prevailing methodologies, the proposed model obtained better outcomes.
Leveraging Deep Transfer Learning for Precision in Similar Color and Texture-Based Fruit Classification
Authors: Bhatt Anita , Joshi Maulin
Published: December 2024

Worldwide, the most enormously produced fruits, including bananas, papayas, mangoes, and guavas, are found in India. Over the years, agricultural production in India has consistently increased. There is still a massive gap between per capita demand and supply due to losses, including post-harvest. With adequate processing facilities, a clear scope exists to reduce this post-harvest wastage. In recent years, research in cutting-edge technology like computer vision (CV), Artificial Intelligence, and image processing has played an important role in sorting as well as grading fruits. Fruits in similar colors and textures increase the difficulty of identification. Deep learning networks are used to adapt and recognize complex patterns, especially in visual tasks. Utilizing deep transfer learning facilitates achieving excellent results expeditiously. This paper uses the deep transfer learning approach to classify fruits with similar color and texture, namely guava, avocado, lime, apple, pear, mango, and pomelo sweetie. This study introduces a novel model derived from integrating DenseNet, MobileNet, and EfficientNet architectures. The model’s performance is systematically assessed using different optimizers, contributing to a comprehensive evaluation of its efficacy. Simulation findings indicate that MobileNetV1 when paired with the Adam optimizer, surpasses other models in terms of training time, accuracy, and testing time.
An efficient optimized encryption and compression techniques to improve medical image security and transmission in the cloud
Authors: Seeli D. Jeni Jeba , Thanammal K.K.
Published: December 2024

As digital technology for illness diagnosis and analysis has advanced, medical images are sent over the Internet. Cloud computing plays a major role for low-cost data storage and data sharing. In the healthcare industry, data security and privacy are key issues with cloud computing. It is imperative that healthcare professionals make sure that patient data is safe against hackers, unauthorized access, and thrift. To secure the confidential data and store the huge amount of data, encryption and compression techniques are used. This paper provides an enhanced optimized encryption and efficient hybrid compression strategies based on cloud environment. The proposed model involves various operations such as generate optimal key, encryption, compression, decompression and decryption. In order to transfer the data using high speed cloud data retrieval, we initially propose the Huffman Fano Hybrid Entropy approach. In the next step, the proposed model performs Elliptic Curve Coding based encryption technique to secure compressed medical image transmission. Here the shared secret keys are generated optimally by dynamic group based cooperative optimization algorithm, which makes use of the encryption quality measures and is called DGBCO–ECC model. On the receiving end, the image is decrypted and decompressed. The proposed model performance is validated by exploiting various parameters namely Mean Square Error, Standard Deviation of the Mean Error, Universal image quality index, Structural Similarity Index, Entropy, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, Compression Ratio, Data Rate Saving and compression time. When the experimental outcome is contrasted with existing methods, it is found to perform better.

Objective: To examine the social, cultural, and economic consequences of the pandemic on public health in Peru, recognizing challenges and possibilities to strengthen the system, given that the pandemic aggravated existing inequalities, disproportionately impacting vulnerable groups, such as rural communities and individuals living in poverty, an evaluation of approaches to promote health and well-being within the framework of the SDG.
 
Theoretical framework: This research analyzes the way in which the pandemic has impacted several aspects of public health in the country, in a post-COVID-19 pandemic scenario that showed and aggravated the already existing weaknesses in the Peruvian health system, marked by its fragmentation and restrictions in infrastructure and human resources.
 
Method: A qualitative approach based on a documentary review and critical analysis was used for the development of the research.
 
Research implications: Lack of access to high-quality health services and unfavorable living conditions contributed to an increase in COVID-19 incidence and mortality in these groups. In cultural terms, distrust of the official health system and inclination towards traditional medicines impacted the community reaction to the virus. In economic terms, the pandemic severely impacted the middle class, decreasing its magnitude from 43.6% in 2019 to 24% in 2020, canceling out a decade of economic progress.
 
Results and discussion: The infodemic, or excess of information, including rumors and misinformation, made it difficult to implement effective public health strategies. In addition to job losses and reduced incomes, they restrict access to health services, intensifying pre-existing inequalities.
 
Originality/Value: To enhance public health in Peru after the pandemic, it is crucial to address social inequalities.

Zoonoses are still a serious public health concern since the number of homeless animals, particularly dogs and cats, is increasing. As the causative agents of human toxoplasmosis and toxocariasis, respectively, Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara canis are significant zoonotic agents from an epidemiological perspective. We have ascertained the seroprevalence of T. gondii and T. canis antibodies among dog and cat owners by a cross-sectional study. Between May and July of 2024, serum samples were taken from 185 owners in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent test (ELISA), the pet owners' sera were collected. The seroprevalence of IgM and IgG antibodies for T. gondii was 3.8% and 9.4%, respectively, in dogs, whereas the IgG antibody seroprevalence for T. canis was 7.5%. Additionally, our seroprevalence findings indicate that dog owners may be more susceptible to contracting T. gondii and T. canis infections, especially if they are female owners. Dog owners in Ekiti State, Nigeria, have significant levels of anti-T. gondii and anti-toxocara antibodies, suggesting a possible zoonotic risk. In order to mitigate the risk of T. gondii and T. canis environmental contamination, it is recommended that dogs and cats have appropriate deworming, be leashed, and have their waste cleaned up. These steps should aid in preventing the morbidity that these two different but extremely adaptable parasites produce in humans

Introduction: Video game usage among adolescents has become a focal area of study due to its impact on development and social behaviors. Gender differences in gaming engagement and parental control raise questions about tailored intervention needs.
Objective: This study aimed to examine video game usage patterns, motivations, parental controls, and problematic use among Spanish adolescents aged 12-20, while exploring gender-specific differences to identify potential areas for targeted interventions.
Methodology: A sample of 2567 Spanish adolescents (M=14.89; SD=1.90) participated in a survey-based study assessing gaming habits, parental control, motivations for gaming, and indicators of problematic use.
Results: The findings revealed significant gender differences: male adolescents reported higher gaming involvement, spending more time and money on video games, and engaged more in online gambling, which correlated with increased problem gambling rates. In contrast, female adolescents reported experiencing greater parental control and supervision regarding their gaming activities.
Discussion: These findings align with previous studies suggesting that male adolescents are more likely to engage heavily in gaming and gambling behaviors, while females are subject to more parental oversight. Such gender-specific patterns suggest different motivations and social dynamics in gaming among adolescents.
Conclusions: This study highlights the necessity for gender-responsive strategies to promote healthy gaming habits among adolescents. Interventions should consider these distinct patterns to effectively mitigate potential risks associated with excessive or problematic gaming behaviors, emphasizing a balanced approach tailored to the unique needs of male and female gamers.

Authors: Roddy Dermot
Published: December 2024

The key features of Professor Paul Younger’s work on Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) linked to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) are summarised, with particular reference to his work on protecting potable water aquifers from contamination by the by-products of in-situ gasification and on his development of a technical basis for secure storage of captured carbon dioxide (CO2) in UCG cavities. A review of recent developments in the UCG field is presented, noting that the scale and international reach of demonstration projects has diminished over the intervening years and that the locus of research activity has moved to China and other Asian countries in which coal use continues at high levels. The importance in a climate-constrained world of a robust method of capturing and storing the CO2 produced by UCG activity is highlighted. Developments in CCS linked to the UCG process itself are reviewed and a brief summary is provided of the present state of CCS technology more generally.
