As human society transitions into the era of artificial intelligence, the “pedagogical consciousness” of technology and the “technical consciousness” of pedagogy are increasingly strengthened. The development of artificial intelligence is gradually contributing to new changes in fundamental theoretical research in the field of education. A new twist in the discipline’s mission: to advance pedagogy in order to overcome its inherent technical logic, return to the origin of man, commit to human liberation in the context of the era of artificial intelligence, and seek new solutions to classic technical problems in the technological era. This triggers a new transformation in the way educational research is conducted: artificial intelligence as a research tool distinguishes between different levels of application from beginner to intermediate and advanced, depending on the degree and requirements. In particular, advanced applications will lead to various consequences of educational research.
Porous titanium alloys for medical application: Progress in preparation process and surface modification research
Authors: Wang Binghao , Luo Miao , Shi Zheng , Cui Yuwei , Lv Yuting , Yang Chengliang , Wang Liqiang
Published: March 2024

Excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility are the most sought-after attributes in biomedical materials for the regeneration of damaged tissues. However, conventional dense titanium alloys possess a modulus significantly higher than that of human tissues, leading to potential stress-shielding effects. Medical porous titanium alloys can reduce the elastic modulus of the material, promote tissue fixation and vascular regeneration, and improve the suitability for human tissue properties. With the continuous development of technology, the preparation process of porous titanium alloys has undergone a series of multifaceted transformations and improvements in the aspects of powder sintering, fiber preparation, and additive manufacturing processes, and its structural characteristics and mechanical properties are constantly evolving in a controllable direction. Alongside the enhancement of the material’s mechanical properties through porous design, optimization of the properties at the implant-tissue interface also leads to improved antimicrobial and osteogenic properties of porous titanium. Due to the complex internal structure of porous titanium alloys, surface modification is mainly carried out in fluid media, which is realized by morphological modification and the introduction of functional substances. Over time, the surface modification of porous titanium alloys for medical applications has progressed from morphological modification and introduction of chemical composition to the loading of bioactive substances. This evolution aims to enhance safety and efficiency in the use of these materials. This paper reviews the preparation and surface modification processes of porous titanium alloys for medical use and summarizes the advantages, disadvantages, and influencing factors among different processes, with a view to providing new ideas for the development of porous implants for medical use.
Assessment of increased tube life in boiler convection banks through commercially available tube coatings
Authors: Plaza Floren , Mann Anthony P. , Alam Nazmul , Stampa John
Published: March 2024

The replacement cost of a boiler convection bank due to wear (erosion) is approximately AUD1mn, with a tube life of approximately 10–15 years using current protection technology (tube shields). Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling has been used extensively to redesign convection banks to reduce tube wear and predict where tube shields should be located for new convection bank geometries. Tube coatings have been successfully applied in other industries to protect against erosion. They can also be applied in areas such as the superheater loops where the higher temperatures can cause problems for tube shields. The erosion performance of commercially available coatings applied by laser and thermal spray (high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) and twin-wire arc spray (TWAS)) processes was compared to that of bare tubes and tube shields, in both laboratory scale tests at the CSIRO Clayton facility and factory trials at Mulgrave Mill. The testing was supported by financial analyses at each stage of the project. A WearPro 62 (tungsten carbide) coating applied by laser was the best performer, with an expected coating life of approximately 18 years. The data were extrapolated to predict the coating life for convection banks with different gas velocities. There were also significant issues with the early failure of tube shields by mechanisms other than erosion. Such failures are of concern as many shielded locations in convection banks are difficult, costly or impossible to access once installed. Further assessment and improvement of the attachment of tube shields to tubes are required.

The lack of motivation of investors to acquire and exercise property rights requires a thorough study. There is a need to study the problem of the relationship of corporate governance with the main segments of the market structure in the existing realities of the Ukrainian economy. The trend of development of the corporate sector in Ukraine is a synthesis of two directions - the creation of joint stock companies by different founders and in the process of privatization of medium and large state enterprises. Today, the largest shareholder in Ukraine remains the state. Therefore, the problem of managing corporate rights of the state is becoming increasingly urgent. Of particular importance for corporate governance is the redistribution of shares and their concentration. This is important not only for property reform, but also for political and social stability in Ukraine. There are a number of problems associated with the mechanism and methods of corporate management of enterprises. The recovery of Ukraine's economy in the post-war period requires an urgent and comprehensive scientific justification for solving these problems. Effective corporate relations in the country are an indicator of the development of the social, economic, legal, technical component of society. The subject of the study is the state and contradictions of legal regulation of individual subjects of corporate relations. The article is aimed at analyzing the theoretical and economic problems of the development of corporate governance of enterprises. In order to form the corporate foundations of investment, and, consequently, business activity, the following ways are proposed: attracting investment in the restructuring and diversification of the activities of enterprises of various organizational and legal forms of management; introduction of more stringent, up to administrative, measures for the organization and transparency of the corporate securities market; creation of a competitive environment, the participants of which are joint stock companies; creation of effective mechanisms for financing production and services through a system of attracting share capital in the form of direct domestic and foreign investments.

BioHackEU23: FAIR Workflow Execution with WfExS and Workflow Run Crate
Authors: Fernández José María , Iborra Paula , Moretti Sebastien , Isaac Arun , De Geest Paul , Soiland-Reyes Stian
Published: March 2024

FAIR Computational Workflows argues that workflows should be FAIR scholarly community research objects in their own right as a kind of FAIR Research Software. In this project we go one step further, and argue that workflow executions should also be published with sufficient traces and structured metadata. Workflow Run RO-Crate is a set of profiles of RO-Crate that capture workflow provenance in a lightweight FAIR data package based on existing standards, in order to support traceability, reproducibility and interoperable description of diverse computational analysis. This use of RO-Crate allows the contextualization of a computational workflow and its execution, e.g. relating to people, organisations, projects, funding, data sources and wider research questions and studies.We have implemented the profile in multiple workflow systems, including Galaxy, COMPSs, StreamFlow, WfExS, Sapporo and Autosubmit. The command line tool runcrate can convert from the precursor CWLProv and display or validate crates according to the profiles. The crates are compatible with ELIXIR's WorkflowHub and support increasing levels of details, including documenting ad-hoc scripts without a workflow engine.WfExS is a workflow orchestrator designed for reproducible and secure workflow executions in isolated environments (like HPC). Every input, workflow and container being used in an execution must have either a public or permanent identifier, or at least a resolvable URI, so the execution scenario can be materialised. The execution scenario before and/or after the execution can be saved to RO-Crate.Here we bring together FAIR Computational Execution practitioners to mature and generalise this approach using Workflow Run Crate.
History of Knowledge through the Global South
Authors: Coletta Michela
Published: March 2024

In this brief discussion, I reflect on the significance of using the category of the global south for reconfiguring the scope of the history of knowledge. While I see this as a productive paradigm shift that has already given rise to mould-breaking works, I focus here on the cross-hemispheric histories of extractive capitalism and how both colonial violence and anticolonial resistance have shaped knowledge-making. I argue that thinking through ‘entangled ecologies’ can be a tool for countering the existing conceptual order, which has led to the north-south division in the first place. Attending to epistemic and ontological entanglements would enable us to ask better and deeper questions about the increasingly complex interconnections across human and nonhuman worlds, especially given the planetary crises we face today.
Challenges of Southern Knowledge Production
Authors: Farvardin Firoozeh , Talebi Nader
Published: March 2024

Focusing on the specific case of knowledge production in and about Iran, in this chapter, we discuss the risk of reproducing a Northern perspective in the attempts to produce knowledge on and through the Global South(s). We argue that such reproduction leads to cognitive suppression, further peripheralization, or even recolonization of the South(s). We also stress the lasting effects of methodological nationalism among attempts at decolonization and its political consequences, such as in the adoption of nativist discourses historically connected to the ‘Islamic’ Revolution by scholars focusing on the Global South(s) and in area studies concerning Iran. To avoid these effects, we suggest considering the politics of scale in our recognition and problematization of the hierarchization of Northern and Southern sites of knowledge production and their particularities.
Revolutionizing Healthcare: Disease Prediction Through Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: Vllamasi Andia , Hallaçi Klejda
Published: March 2024

A crucial field of medical research is disease prediction, which has the potential to improve early diagnosis and therapy that can have a major impact on the course of treatment. By dramatically raising the standard of patient care and the effectiveness of the healthcare system as a whole, disease prediction plays a critical role in contemporary healthcare. Early detection of illnesses or medical issues, even before symptoms appear, is a key component of this proactive approach to healthcare management. This enables prompt interventions, better treatment outcomes, and better resource allocation. In this study, we use four different machine learning techniques to predict diseases using large datasets. Our main goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of different algorithms and determine which one performs best at accurately predicting the condition. To guarantee data quality and significance, the study makes considerable use of feature selection, engineering, and data preparation. Across various illness datasets, four machine learning algorithms, K-Nearest Neighbors, XG Boost, Ada Boost with SVM and Logistic Regression, are thoroughly examined. Accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (AUC-ROC) are just a few of the performance criteria used to rate these algorithms.
The comparative study not only identifies the algorithm with the best predicted accuracy, but it also offers insightful information about the benefits and drawbacks of each strategy.
This study has significant healthcare impacts. We provide medical professionals with an effective tool for early detection and intervention by determining the algorithm that performs best at disease prediction. Improved disease prediction accuracy can result in earlier and more efficient treatment, which may save lives and lower healthcare costs. Additionally, this research opens the door for the application of sophisticated machine learning methods to clinical practice, ushering in a new era in healthcare where data-driven predictions support clinical judgment. In conclusion, by utilizing the potential of machine learning algorithms for more precise and timely disease prediction, our research supports the continual evolution of healthcare.
Guidelines for Risk Evaluation in Artificial Intelligence Applications
Authors: Lezzerini Luca , Vllamasi Andia
Published: March 2024

Artificial intelligence is becoming a common element of our times. It is becoming more and more pervading into every element of our lives. Mass applications of artificial intelligence started when it began to be used in video games, but now it is available to everyone and can help with many tasks that, up to a few years ago, could be done only by humans. Discussions about artificial intelligence began very early before it existed. Most of the science-fiction literature tried to imagine many forms of AI and the consequences, both good and evil, of its use. But now artificial intelligence is a real, concrete thing and its mass usage must be subordinated to a risk evaluation and mitigation process to make it safe. In this paper, an introduction to this risk assessment will be made and the main guidelines for it will be defined. These guidelines could be used by researchers, designers, developers and even users to validate an AI-based application before delivering it to people. The paper considers the basic concepts of risk and tailors them to provide effective support in developing risk analysis for the specific area of artificial intelligence. Then a set of typical risks are defined and methods to detect and minimize them are provided. In conclusion, a call for stricter regulation of AI and high-performance processing is issued.

This is proposed through the suggestion of six interval distances (90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40 meters).
The research problem delves into the importance of training 400-meter sprinters by leveraging the first and second straight sprints with an ideal stride length, calculated as the runner's height × 1.22 according to James Hay's equation, and utilizing this to compensate for the deficit incurred during curve running due to changes in running mechanics to overcome centrifugal force.
In light of their research objectives, the authors hypothesized that there would be no significant statistical differences between the pre-test and post-test measurements of male 400-meter sprinters. The researchers employed an experimental method with a single group to suit the nature of the research problem. The sample consisted of six athletes representing (Army, Police, Militia) clubs. The training program included 24 training units over eight weeks, with an average of three training units per week. The researchers concluded several key findings, notably that the designed training had a significant impact on the sample group, as evidenced by the significant differences observed. In light of the results, the researchers recommend the application of these training methods according to the special equation for calculating the optimal stride length in other activities to enhance performance towards better outcomes.

This paper is an attempt to show how a Human-Robot Interface (HRI) system in the Greek language can help people with brain damage in speech and its related perception issues. This proposal is not the product of research conducted on how to treat brain injuries. It is a conclusion stemming from research on intelligent Human-Robot interfaces, as a part of Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing, which approaches the processing and understanding of natural language with specific methods. For the same reason, experiments on real patients have not been conducted. Thus, this paper does not propose a competing method, but a method for further study. Since it is referring to a very general and quite complex issue, an approach is presented here for the Sequencing problem. A person with such a problem cannot hierarchically organize the tasks needed to be performed. This Hierarchy has to do with both time and practicality. The particular problem here, as much as the innovation of our approach, lies not when there are explicit temporally defined instructions, but in the ability to derive these temporal values through the person’s perception from more vague temporal references. The present approach is developed based on our related previous works for deploying a robotic system that relies on Hole Semantics and the OMAS-III computational model as a grammatical formalism for its communication with humans.

Published: March 2024

The paper describes and analyses the content of fundamental reforms in higher education of Japan. The detailed literature analysis confirms that for the past 75 years it has been reformed many times. The key reform, characterized by the development of a completely new structure of higher education, occurred in 1945. Rapid economic development of Japan is associated with a series of factors, including the sequence of performed educational reforms; implementation of democratic approach towards education; autonomy of educational and academic processes; qualitative gradual internal and external audits in universities and evaluation of the higher education quality; sustaining the principles of deontology in education; adaptation of higher education to state and global marketing requirements; internationalization of educational and academic processes; actualizing the necessity of English language competency; improving effectiveness of primary and secondary education, since it affects the level of university applicants and educational outcomes. The research outlined that current educational reforms are directed at training highly professional and competitive specialists, able to participate in global economic processes and lead them in different countries. Internationalization of educational processes ids focused on developing skills of multicultural knowledge and interaction, abilities to understand and consider critically global historical and economic processes. The study states that, in addition to performed reforms, high technological and economic level of Japan is associated with highly developed personal ethical values of the Japanese, namely: self-respect and respect to others, hardworking and self-discipline, punctuality, responsibility and politeness.

BACKGROUND

Sarcopenia may be associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following hepatectomy. But traditional single clinical variables are still insufficient to predict recurrence. We still lack effective prediction models for recent recurrence (time to recurrence < 2 years) after hepatectomy for HCC.

AIM

To establish an interventable prediction model to estimate recurrence-free survival (RFS) after hepatectomy for HCC based on sarcopenia.

METHODS

We retrospectively analyzed 283 hepatitis B-related HCC patients who underwent curative hepatectomy for the first time, and the skeletal muscle index at the third lumbar spine was measured by preoperative computed tomography. 94 of these patients were enrolled for external validation. Cox multivariate analysis was per-formed to identify the risk factors of postoperative recurrence in training cohort. A nomogram model was developed to predict the RFS of HCC patients, and its predictive performance was validated. The predictive efficacy of this model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve.

RESULTS

Multivariate analysis showed that sarcopenia [Hazard ratio(HR) = 1.767, 95%CI: 1.166-2.678, P < 0.05], alpha-fetoprotein ≥ 40 ng/mL (HR = 1.984, 95%CI: 1.307-3.011, P < 0.05), the maximum diameter of tumor > 5 cm (HR = 2.222, 95%CI: 1.285-3.842, P < 0.05), and hepatitis B virus DNA level ≥ 2000 IU/mL (HR = 2.1, 95%CI: 1.407-3.135, P < 0.05) were independent risk factors associated with postoperative recurrence of HCC. Based on the sarcopenia to assess the RFS model of hepatectomy with hepatitis B-related liver cancer disease (SAMD) was established combined with other the above risk factors. The area under the curve of the SAMD model was 0.782 (95%CI: 0.705-0.858) in the training cohort (sensitivity 81%, specificity 63%) and 0.773 (95%CI: 0.707-0.838) in the validation cohort. Besides, a SAMD score ≥ 110 was better to distinguish the high-risk group of postoperative recurrence of HCC.

CONCLUSION

Sarcopenia is associated with recent recurrence after hepatectomy for hepatitis B-related HCC. A nutritional status-based prediction model is first established for postoperative recurrence of hepatitis B-related HCC, which is superior to other models and contributes to prognosis prediction.

The new AWaRe classiﬁcation proposed by WHO for assessing the clinical practice of using antibiotics in adults in 2017 was adapted for children's hospitals in 2019, due to the update of the categorization of antimicrobials, and showed eﬀec- tiveness for assessing the rationality of antimicrobials use in children's hospitals in WHO-participating countries in the observation protocol GARPEC. In this retrospective pharmacoepidemiological study, we assessed the rationality of antibiotic consumption in multidisciplinary hospitals in the subjects of the Russian Federation with a pediatric profile. An observational multicenter study of antibiotic consumption was carried out in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (N=9). Consumption assessment was carried out using the AWaRe method, based on DDD analysis and the WHO list of essential antibiotics for children by groups: «Access» (green), «Watch» (yellow) and «Reserve»(red). The quantitative indicator «the number of days of therapy in the ATC group J01 Antibacterial drugs for systemic use» in the established standardized dose per 100 patient days in the pediatric profile in level III hospitals in 9 regions of Russia for 2021 was 214.93. On average, each of the hospitalized pediatric children received at least two antibiotics during the period of hospital treatment in 2021 in Russia. On average, in Russia, based on the results from 9 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, drugs in the «Admission» category were 44.24%, «Control» — 49.23%, «Reserve» — 0.88%. When categorizing according to WHO2019, negative characteristics were identified — either excessive use of cefazolin and amikacin in the «Access» category, or the predominance of drugs with antipseudomonas activity, ceftazidime and cefepime, in the «Watch» groups. A positive and more balanced version of the structure of antibiotic consumption in multidisciplinary children's hospitals was identified in Moscow («Access» — 37.3%, «Watch» — 59.29%, «Reserve» — 3.41%), in the Republic of Mari El («Access» — 30.28%, «Watch» — 69.42%, «Reserve» — 0.30%) and in the Republic of Khakassia («Access» — 30.95%, «Watch» — 67.39%, «Reserve» — 1.66%). Thus, «Access» (green), the main indicator of the assessment category of antibiotic consumption in children, did not reach 60% in 2021 in any of the multidisciplinary children's hospitals in Russia presented in this study, which was proposed as a target indicator for achieving rational consumption according to WHO. The results of this study showed the problems of irrational use of antibiotics: insufficient use of oral dosage forms in children, excessive use of aminoglycosides, unjustified switching to combination antimicrobial therapy with antibiotics of the «Reserve» group in multidisciplinary children's hospitals in Russia.
