Published: February 2025

Fetal Electrocardiogram (FECG) signals represent vital instruments for examining any irregularities in the heart’s functioning. Contemporary wearable technologies, including smartwatches and smartphones, now come with sophisticated sensors and computational systems designed to gather and process FECG signals from users. Lately, large language models such as T5 have attracted interest due to their capabilities in handling intricate patterns within data, positioning them as promising options for classifying morphological FECG signals and detecting arrhythmias. Nevertheless, diagnosing FECG signals on devices with limited resources presents considerable challenges owing to the complicated nature of the signals and the computational demands of implementing such algorithms on wearable tools. To tackle these difficulties, this paper suggests a strategy that merges T5-based learning methodologies to attain two main goals: (i) reducing the complexity of learning models without sacrificing diagnostic precision and (ii) ensuring performance in resource-limited wearable devices for ongoing monitoring of FECG signals. The research further investigates the implementation of the suggested T5-based algorithm through Software Codesign techniques to improve resource efficiency, concentrating on factors like reduced latency, decreased hardware usage, and enhanced energy efficiency. Comprehensive experiments were conducted using diverse FECG datasets and validated. The proposed T5-based methodology demonstrated significant improvements in diagnosing FECG signals compared to other learning frameworks, showcasing its effectiveness in managing complex data patterns and achieving high diagnostic performance. While the experimental findings highlight the T5-based model's potential for use in wearable devices. the study focused on the algorithm's adaptability and performance in software environments, paving the way for future exploration into resource-efficient implementations suitable for wearable applications.

Authors: Taha Ibrahim Mohamed , Ali Rajaa Hussein Abd , Abbas Ali Abdulhassan
Published: February 2025

Background/purpose

This study examines the relationship between students’ cybersecurity vulnerability behavior and e-learning obstacles. With the rapid growth of online education, ensuring the security and privacy of digital platforms has become crucial. In this background, the current study is a first-of-its-kind attempt to understand the relationship between these two variables in the background of higher educational institutions in Iraq.

Methods

For this study, the researchers collected data during 2023 from students aged between 19 and 25 enrolled in the University of Karbala, Iraq, using a semi-structured research questionnaire, who were selected through a random sampling method. The questionnaire comprised questions pertaining to the dimensions of both the dependent and the independent variable. A total of 350 valid responses were considered for the analysis in which PLS-SEM was conducted.

Results

The outcomes revealed that the professional and human obstacles have a high association with cyber-security vulnerability behavior. The study also found that the overall obstacles have a significant effect on the cybersecurity vulnerability behavior. All hypotheses were verified and the outcomes confirm that there is an effective relationship between cybersecurity vulnerability behavior and e-learning obstacles

Conclusion

Based on the study outcomes, the authors proposed a few recommendations for all the stakeholders of the e-learning process, such as educational institutions, governments, faculty members, students, and their parents. Though the current study has been confined to a single university in Iraq, future researchers can focus on expanding the study to other higher educational institutions so that a nationwide policy-level initiative can be brought based on the research evidence.

Towards more Credible Agent-Based Models for Policy Support
Authors:   , Johansson Emil
Published: February 2025

Agent-Based Social Simulation (ABSS), i.e., the study of social systems through Agent-Based Modeling, has great potential in serving as policy support. However, challenges in the modeling for policymaking process prevent this potential to be fully realized. For instance, the models might not be deemed sufficiently credible or appealing to decisionmakers.This licentiate thesis aims to contribute to the understand of these challenges, and to identify challenges and opportunities in how to increase the credibility of ABSS models in policymaking.

First, we investigate the modeling of human behavior and what challenges there are that may affect models’ suitability for policymaking. Properly representing individuals’ decision-making can serve to increase model accuracy, model descriptiveness and recognizability of the modeled system, which in turn can increase model credibility. Taking models of the COVID-19 pandemic as an example, we performed reviews that analyzed what aspects of human behavior were modeled, and how these aspects relate to what conclusions can be drawn from the model. The studies found that many of the aspects that seem relevant were rarely included in the studied models. Three challenges were identified with regards to being able to build more descriptive behavior models within the time constraints posed by decision-makers: improvements to modeling tools and software, model reuse, and data availability.

Second, we look at the verification and validation (V&V) of ABSS models. The proper evaluation of models is crucial for model credibility to be ensured. In the study of COVID-19 models, V&V activities were found to be rarely documented (if performed at all). To this end, we suggest the continuous use of a ”V&V plan” during the modeling process,and proposes an accreditation framework for institutions to be able to perform external validation.

Third, we consider the combination of models and model results. Model combination can lead to more credible models as it allows modelers to use well-established, well validated models to represent parts of a system, while combined simulation results often are more robust than those of a single model. A literature survey was performed, identifying six different types of combinations: Ensemble Modeling, Meta Analysis, Model Merging, Models as Modules, Model Integration and Model Chaining. For each type, we identified purpose and examples, as well as existing challenges for the combination of both simulation models in general and ABSS models in particular.

Introduction. Acute respiratory distress syndrome is one of the most formidable complications of critical conditions in children, leading to severe systemic hypoxia and associated with a high probability of death.

The objective was to demonstrate respiratory support characteristics in acute respiratory distress syndrome complicated by bronchopulmonary fistula in a child with sepsis.

A clinical case was used to illustrate the main principles of invasive invasive artificial lung ventilation in severe hypoxemic respiratory failure due to pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. The basic data of the history, clinical and laboratory examination were reflected, special attention was paid to the intensive care measures and the choice of the optimal mode of invasive invasive artificial lung ventilation, which allowed to achieve the target indicators of the gas composition and the acid-basic state of the blood.

Conclusion. In severe acute respiratory distress syndrome in children, it is advisable to perform invasive artificial lung ventilation with inspiration control by pressure and guaranteed respiratory volume at a positive end expiratory pressure of at least 6 sm H2O. The use of inspiration/expiration ratio reversal can only be justified in extremely rare cases as a life-saving measure in the absence of persistent hypercapnia.
Perioperative cardioprotection as a measure to reduce the risk of posthospital cardiovascular complications (cohort study)
Authors: Sokolov D. A. , Kozlov I. A.
Published: February 2025

The objective was to study the incidence of the late cardiovascular complications depending on the use of perioperative cardioprotection in patients with high cardiac risk.

Materials and methods. We analyzed data of medical cards and telephone interviews of 307 patients aged 47 to 85 (67 [63–71]) years who underwent surgical procedures a year before the interview. Perioperative pharmacological cardioprotection (dexmedetmidine or phosphocreatin) was used in 168 (54.7 %) patients. The endpoints of the study were composite outcome (one or more cardiac events), MACCE (cardiac mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke or a combination of these) and 1-year cardiac mortality. To process the data, we used logistic regression with the calculation of the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) and ROC analysis.

Results. During 12 months after vascular surgery, various cardiac events (composite outcome) developed in 29.3 % of patients, including MACCE in 11.4 % of cases and cardiac mortality in 3.3 %. Patients who received and did not receive cardioprotection had a different risk of composite outcome (OR 0.5392, 95 % CI 0.3287–0.8846, р=0.014) and risk of MACCE (OR 0.4835, 95 % CI 0.2372–0.9852, p = 0.041). Perioperative cardioprotection had no effect on the risk of 1-year cardiac mortality (OR 0.3994, 95 % CI 0.1177–1.3556, р = 0.125).

Conclusion. Within one year after vascular surgery, more than 29 % of patients with high cardiac risk develop one or more cardiac events (composite outcome), including cardiac mortality in 3.3 % of cases. Perioperative cardioprotection with dexmedetomidine or phosphocreatine reduces the risk of composite outcome and the risk of MACCE, without reducing one year cardiac mortality.

Published: February 2025

The study aimed to find out how working on educational and work-integrated projects helps young students implement professional knowledge and skills, improve themselves, find life meanings in the maelstrom of war, show resilience, and tell the world about Ukraine’s struggle. For this purpose, two short surveys were conducted from October 11 to November 2, 2024, using a purposive sampling method with the help of Google Forms: “Student Projects in Time of War” (Survey I) (41 respondents) and “Student Projects in Time of War 2 (Cases)” (Survey II) (11 respondents), the results of the second one became the empirical basis for a qualitative case study. Almost half of the respondents implemented 5 to 10 projects during the full-scale invasion. Blackouts and constant bombardment caused the most problems for project implementation. Among others, the respondents mentioned: depression, stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, deaths of friends and loved ones, burnout, moral exhaustion, demotivation, and loss of meaningful life guidelines. Most of the student projects are one way or another related to the war and the consequences it has caused, including problems of adaptation, resilience, living with and overcoming war and psychological trauma, and employment challenges. The students also focused on the need to help the military and civilians, and the country as a whole, and sought to share Ukraine’s values and culture with the world, as well as to tell about Russia’s crimes against Ukraine and Ukrainians.
La medicina legal y forense del deporte. ¿Cuál es su importancia para la administración de justicia en Venezuela?
Authors: Araujo Cuauro Juan Carlos
Published: February 2025

En esta investigación jurídica tiene como propósito hacer un análisis descriptivo acerca de la importancia para la administración de justicia en la medicina del deporte y su relación con la medicina legal y forense en el deporte, producto de los problemas médicos legales y forenses derivados por la actitud de violencia intencional antideportista de un deportista que le ocasiona lesiones o daños a la integridad física e inclusive la muerte hacia otro deportistas, así como la muerte súbita en escenario deportivo de competición cuando esta pueda ser catalogada como sospechosa de criminalidad y el cuanto al dopaje en la actividad deportiva con sustancias prohibidas, su tratamiento en la esfera del derecho penal y/o civil del ordenamiento jurídico venezolano. Metodología aplicada Revisión de la literatura médico jurídica sobre la importancia de la medicina legal-forense del deporte, donde la responsabilidad penal y/o civil se manifieste con perfiles específicos para la administración de justicia. Es conveniente y necesario clarificar que no se trata de un estudio bibliométrico para identificar lo que se ha publicado al respecto, ni de un estudio comparativo. El proceso indagativo se desarrolló durante todo el año 2022. Enfoque. No existe, en el ordenamiento jurídico venezolano al menos aún, una disciplina jurídica especializada que admita la signatura “Derecho penal del deporte”, ni los juristas dedicados a esta rama del Derecho. En la actualidad Derecho Penal y deporte, no son dos materias cuya asociación resulte evidente, o intuitiva, pero lo más probable que con el pasar del tiempo probablemente cambie. Conclusión. Es por ello que la conducta fundamentalmente antijurídica, donde las consecuencias más graves derivadas es la afección a los bienes jurídicos más fundamentales como lo son: vida, integridad física, salud de las personas, dignidad humana deban ser objeto de protección jurídico penal.

Published: February 2025

In this research, we proposed a new non-linear model known as the Lomax autoregressive model, which is based on the cumulative distribution function of the Lomax distribution. Using the local linearization approximation technique, we found stability for the proposed first-order model's limit cycle. Then, we generalized the conditions for the Lomax autoregressive model of order p and found stability for the limit cycle of period (q > 1). Some examples illustrate the state of stability, and we plot the trajectory for the model of different initial values.

AB’de “Çoğunlukçu Olmayan Kurumlar” Olarak AB Ajanslarının İyi Yönetişim İlkeleri Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: Solak Tuygun Feza
Published: February 2025

Çoğunlukçu olmayan kurumlar, kamu geliriyle finanse edilen ve kamusal bir işlevi yerine getiren ancak, seçilmiş politikacılardan belirli ölçüde bağımsız olarak varlığını sürdüren kurumlardır. AB’de birçok politika alanındaki yetkiler, ulus-üstü nitelikte çoğunlukçu olmayan kurumlar olarak AB ajanslarına devredilmektedir. AB ajanslarına yetki devrinin meşru olması, bu kurumların artan sayılarıyla birlikte “demokratik ilkelerle uyumu” sorununu gündeme getirmiştir. Demokratik yönetimin temel ilkelerini “iyi yönetişim” anlayışıyla yönetim süreçlerine dâhil eden AB, daha fazla demokrasi, şeffaflık ve yetki devri ile demokratik meşruiyetin güçlendirilmesi için Avrupa Yönetişimine İlişkin Beyaz Kitap’ı (2001) yayınlamış; bu kitapta bağımsızlık, hesap verebilirlik, şeffaflık ve katılım gerekliliklerini içeren iyi yönetişimin bir dizi temel ilkesini belirlemiştir. Bu çalışmada, AB ajanslarının Avrupa Yönetişimine İlişkin Beyaz Kitap’ta (2001) belirtilen bu ilkelere “uyumu” ele alınmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada, AB karar alma sürecinin etkinliğini arttırmak ve meşruiyetini güçlendirmek için ajansların kurumsal yapıları ve etkileşimleri ile iyi yönetişim ilkelerine uyumları konusunda tutarlılığın sağlanarak işleyiş yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesi gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Objetivo: Identificar possibilidades de manejo de pacientes com estomia de alto débito. Métodos: Revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, Cochrane Library e BVS entre junho e agosto de 2024, por meio da estratégia de busca “High Output Stoma” AND “Management”. Foram incluídos artigos de texto completo, redigidos em português, inglês ou espanhol no período entre 2014 a 2024. Resultados: Foram identificados 104 estudos nas bases de dados. Após a avaliação e os refinamentos dos trabalhos por intermédio dos critérios estabelecidos, obteve-se um total de 13 estudos para análise. Foram estabelecidas três categorias temáticas para sintetizar a revisão: “uso de medicações”, “terapia nutricional” e “acompanhamento nutricional”. Considerações finais: Os dados sugerem que o acompanhamento nutricional precoce desde a internação e principalmente no pós-alta, o uso de loperamida, a oferta de dieta do tipo elementar/semi-elementar, a hidratação oral isotônica, o uso de espessantes, a criação de fluxos institucionais e a assistência de enfermagem capacitada são possibilidades de manejo em pacientes com estomia de alto débito.

Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência do abandono do tratamento da tuberculose (TB) entre pacientes coinfectados com HIV, notificados na região metropolitana de Belém – PA. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, retrospectivo e descritivo de abordagem quantitativa, com dados secundários coletados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). Resultados: Entre 2017 e 2021, foram registrados 1.628 casos de coinfecção (TB-HIV). A maioria dos casos ocorreram no município de Belém (79%), em homens (73%), com idade entre 20 a 39 anos (56,7%) e baixa escolaridade (35,8%). Foram contabilizadas 289 ocorrências de abandono de tratamento nesse período. Conclusão: Os casos de coinfecção TB/HIV ocorreram predominantemente em Belém, em homens de 20 a 39 anos, com ensino fundamental incompleto, e apresentaram alta frequência de abandono do tratamento. Este estudo destacou a eficácia do Tratamento Diretamente Observado (TDO) na mitigação do abandono e identificou o uso concomitante da Terapia Antirretroviral (TARV) como fator associado ao abandono do tratamento, fornecendo assim, subsídios para a formulação de políticas públicas que promovam a adesão ao tratamento.

В статье мы выделили нетрадиционные игры с фо­не­ма­ти­­ческим недоразвитием ребенка и тем, что такое фоне­ма­ти­ка и насколько важно его место для ребенка. Было от­ме­че­но, что фонематическое развитие начинается, когда ребенок рож­дается и появляется на свет. Фонематическое разви­тие – это способность правильно слышать звуки, слова, разли­чать, какой звук звучит и какой звук как произносится. Рабо­тай­те в тесном сотрудничестве с родителями и узнайте, как логопеды могут преодолеть фонематическое недоразвитие с помощью тех же нетрадиционных игр. Рассмотрены роль и способы при­ме­не­ния нетрадиционных игр для улучшения фоне­ма­тического развития детей дошкольного возраста. Пра­виль­ная речь как один из показателей готовности к школе улуч­шает грамотность ребенка и помогает ему подготовиться к учебному процессу. Нетрадиционные игры следует широко ис­поль­зовать для улучшения фонематического развития ребенка, поскольку они облегчают логопедический процесс ребенка и улучшают его речевые навыки.

Макалада биз баланын фонематикалык өнүкпөгөндүгү жана фонематика деген эмне жана анын орду бала үчүн кан­ча­лык маанилүү экендиги менен салттуу эмес оюндарды бөлүп көрсөттүк. Бала тө­рөлүп жаңыдан жарык дүйнөгө келгенде фонематикалык өнү­гүү башталары белгиленди. Фонемати­ка­лык өнүгүү үндөрдү, сөздөрдү туура угуу, кайсы үн кандай угул­­­ду же болбосо кайсы сөз кандай айтылаарын айырмалай би­лүү жөндөмдүүүлүгү. Ата-энелер менен тыгыз иштешип жана логопеддердин ошол эле салттуу эмес оюндардын жар­да­мында кантип фонематикалык өнүкпөгөндүктү жоюуунун жолдору каралды. Мектепке чейинки курактагы балдардын фо­нематикалык өнүгүүсүн жакшыртуу үчүн салттуу эмес оюн­дардын ролу жана колдонуу ыкмалары белгиленди. Мек­теп­ке даярдыгынын көрсөткүчтөрүнүн бири катары туура сүйлөө баланын сабаттуулугун жакшыртат жана окуу про­цес­стерине даяр болушуна көмөктөшөт. Салттуу эмес оюн­дар­ды баланын фонематикалык өнүгүүсүн жакшыртуу үчүн кеңири колдонуу керек, анткени алар баланын логопеддик про­цес­син жеңилдетип, анын сүйлөө жөндөмдөрүн жакшыртат.

In the article, wehave highlighted non-traditional games with a child's phonemic underdevelopment and whatphonemics is.how important is his place for the child. That phonemic development begins when a child is born and is born. Phonemic development is the abilityto correctly hear sounds, words, and distinguish which sound sounds like which is pronounced. Work closely with parents and learn how speech therapists can overcome phonemic under­de­ve­lopment using the same non-traditional games.The role and waysof using non-traditional games to improvethe phonemic develop­ment of preschool children. Correct speech as one ofthe indicators of school readiness improves a child's literacy and helps him pre­pa­re for the learning process.Non-traditional games shouldbe widely used to improve a child's phonemic development, as they facilitate the child's speech therapy process and improve his speech skills.

Toroidal conjugation is a unique way of charge and exciton delocalization via through-space overlap among circularly stacked π-orbitals, but the examples have been limited to intramolecular phenomena where π-planes are arranged around a hub molecule. In this study, we extend this concept to intermolecular phenomena and demonstrate the first example of intermolecular toroidal conjugation in designed systems, in which a circular π-stacked array is formed by molecular self-assembly. X-ray single-crystal analysis unequivocally revealed a toroidal array of 16 π-planes formed by the supramolecular dimerization of phthalocyanines substituted with eight pillar-like diazapentacenes interdigitating their π-pillars. The experimentally determined interplanar distances in the toroidal π-stacking array were close enough to realize through-space conjugation. We investigated the existence of charge and exciton delocalization in the toroidal π-stacking array using various steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies and found that the positive charge migrated in the toroidal π-stacking array in the cationic and photoexcited states.
