Effect of zeolite-containing mineral complex on substrate microbiological characteristics during protected cultivation of Rubus fruticosus L. planting material
Authors: Maslova M. V. , Papikhin R. V. , Muratova S. A.
Published: August 2024

When growing plants of the genus Rubus in protected cultivation conditions, great importance is attached to the substrate quality, especially its microbiological characteristics, since a favorable environment for pathogen development is created in such conditions. Adding a zeolite-containing mineral complex (ZMC) to the substrate reduces the risk of phytopathogenic infection due to ZMC valuable physical and chemical properties. The study aims to evaluate the effect of a zeolite-containing mineral complex on the substrate microbiota composition when growing blackberry planting material in a winter greenhouse. The biological objects in the experiments were Rubus fruticosus L. plants, as well as isolated microorganisms. The study used common microbiological analysis methods. The assessment of microbial contamination of different fractions (0.001–0.002 mm, 0.5-1.0 mm, and 2.0-4.0 mm) of the studied complex revealed a decrease in the number of colony-forming units (CFU) of bacteria from 5.3×106 to 1.5×106 with an increase in the granule size. In the study with the smallest particle size, Penicillium spores were detected. This is due to the fact that small granules are more susceptible to contamination with polluted air. Moreover, it was found that in the presence of ZMC, the number of CFU in aqueous suspension of the fungi Fusarium oxysorum Schltdl. and Alternaria alternatа (Fr.) Keissl. decreased by 7 and 8 times, respectively. When the complex under study was added to peat mixture at a concentration of 10, 15, and 20%, the number of fungi CFU was observed to decrease on average by more than 5 times. After cultivating blackberries during the growing season, pathogenic fungi of the genera Cladosporium, Alternaria, Fusarium were found mainly in the substrate without ZMC. Peat mixture with 10% of the investigated complex contained on average 4.5 times less Cladоsporium and Alternaria. Fusarium fungi were not detected. The results of the conducted research can serve as a scientific justification for using ZMC to reduce the infectious load on plants during the cultivation of R. fruticosus planting material in greenhouse conditions.

Representatives of the genus Paeonia (Paeonia L.) are economically and socially important ornamental plants. Moreover, some species are widely used in folk medicine. Various peony cultivars are prominent examples of active centuries-old plant breeding. They are commonly employed for soft landscaping of botanical gardens, urban landscapes, and household plots. With the development of molecular genetics, ornamental plant breeding received fresh impetus. Research has enabled the identification of markers that help to determine important ornamental and economic characteristics, such as the flower shape, leaf color, corolla color, degree of doubleness, and presence of fragrance. These advances accelerate the breeding process. Additionally, new cultivars can be certified quite accurately. Our article presents the results of the research aimed at testing the method of certification and verification of representatives of the genus Paeonia based on the variability in the ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2 region. In the course of the analysis, we managed to identify the P. arientina species which had been included in the collection of the Botanical Garden of the Ural Branch of the RAS under a different taxonomic name (P. mascula). Additionally, we assessed the genetic diversity of the studied ribosomal DNA region, including the ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2 sequences of several other species. Total DNA was isolated using the CTAB method. The consecutive sequences were evaluated using various programs (Mega6, Bioedit, DNAxp). The research has revealed that all peony species we studied are characterized by high variability in the region under investigation. The number of polymorphic sites was 155, and the total number of mutations amounted to 164. The number of sites with a single mutation was high (126). Haplotype diversity (Hd) for all species under study equaled 0.978±0.019. We verified the identity of the taxa included in the collection of the Botanical Garden of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences based on the analyzed ITS region of the ribosomal DNA. The article concludes that it is appropriate to use the ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2 region when certifying species of the genus Paeonia to include them in the collections of Botanical Gardens as it is difficult to identify some peony species solely by their morphological characteristics.

The necessary and sufficient conditions are established that an entire function must satisfy in order to be a characteristic determinant of the specified operator. In the case of irregular boundary conditions, conditions are found under which a set of complex numbers is the spectrum of the problem under consideration.
On the solvability on the spectrum of Fredholm boundary integral equations of the first kind for the three-dimensional transmission problem
Authors: Kashirin A. A. , Smagin S. I.
Published: August 2024

The paper considers two weakly singular Fredholm boundary integral equations of the first kind, to each of which the three-dimensional Helmholtz transmission problem can be reduced. The properties of these equations are studied on spectra, where they are ill-posed. For the first equation, it is shown that if its solution exists on the spectrum, it allows us to find a solution to the transmission problem. The second equation in this case always has infinitely many solutions, only one of which gives a solution to the transmission problem. The interpolation method for finding approximate solutions of the considered integral equations and the transmission problem is discussed.

Developing university governance capacity for administrative staff is an issue with an important role and significance for universities within academic and administrative spheres. However, administrative staff in Vietnamese higher education institutions encounter barriers to effective governance, primarily due to a lack of specialized training and professional development opportunities. This shortage results in a deficit of the necessary skills and competencies for proficient leadership, decision-making, and strategic planning across academic and administrative domains. Threfore, this study aims to propose potential measures to improve university governance capacity for administrative staff based on assessment of the current state of governance capacity of administrative staff of universities in the Mekong Delta region in Vietnam. The study used a scale for to gather quantitative data from 300 participants at 11 public universities in the Mekong Delta region in Vietnam to assess the level of university governance capacity of administrative staff. The study found that administrative staff in universities in Vietnam may lack key skills needed for effective governance. These skills include defining the university's mission, vision, and goals, planning policies, managing finances, and building relationships. The findings underscore the importance of improving the capabilities of administrative personnel to better meet the demands of higher education in Vietnam. The study suggests specific measures to improve the governance skills of administrative staff in Vietnamese higher education to support sustainable growth and create a dynamic academic environment that meets the changing needs of students, faculty, and the community.

Adolescence is a crucial transitional phase in the life of a child, often accompanied by challenges in adapting to their environment. For a child, this period of change prompts exploration, which may include behaviors such as smoking. The prevalence of smoking is on the rise annually, with one contributing factor being a lack of knowledge about its dangers. To address this, efforts are made to increase awareness through health education. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the impact of video-based health education on knowledge regarding the dangers of smoking, focusing on students at private Middle School in Bandung City. The research design was a quasy experimental one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 156 respondents were selected using simple proportional stratified random sampling. The instruments used included a knowledge questionnaire and video media. Data were subjected to analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The analysis results showed that the majority of respondents (51.3%) had sufficient knowledge about the dangers of smoking before receiving the intervention. After receiving the intervention, almost all respondents (76.3%) had good knowledge about the perils associated with the habit. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test indicated a p value of 0.0001, which was less than the significance threshold of 0.05. This showed the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0), allowing for the conclusion that providing education had a substantial impact on knowledge regarding the dangers of smoking. In conclusion, the analysis results underlined an enhancement in knowledge regarding the dangers of smoking achieved through health education using video media. The effectiveness of video-based health education in augmenting the understanding of students of the dangers associated with the habit could be attributed to its ability to engage multiple senses, including sight and hearing.

Authors: Veer Arshdeep Singh , Bhardwaj Sushil
Published: August 2024

This paper focuses on the performance analysis of integrating Network Attached Storage (NAS) with a GSM Gateway to store voice call recordings in a Unified Communication (UC) environment. The current research builds upon the findings and methodologies established in a previous publication from the broader research project., which aims to eliminate the necessity of storing voice call recordings on the UC server. The existing research has primarily concentrated on the integration process, but there has been a lack of investigation into an unexamined performance gap. This study seeks to fill this gap by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the performance metrics of such an integrated system. The experimental setup includes the Open-Source Elastix UC platform, an AMD Sempron processor, a Zyxel NAS540 4-bay storage device and an EasyPhone GOIP GSM Gateway. Evaluation criteria include data privacy, server load, and network load. Performance metrics for data privacy include access control levels, data redundancy, remote access, hardware failure, RAID configuration, encryption, and dependency. Metrics for server load include CPU usage percentage, memory/RAM usage, and local storage. Network load metrics include throughput, latency, congestion, security, and isolation. The research demonstrates increased data privacy through the secure storage of recordings on NAS compared to the UC server. The server load is reduced and CPU and memory usage are lower by offloading storage tasks to the NAS. The increased network load does not impair overall network performance due to the use of a separate NAS gateway. This research is necessary as it offers methods to enhance UC environments, enabling secure, efficient, and scalable voice call recording storage. Key findings include improved access control and encryption measures for data privacy, reduced CPU and memory usage under server load, and maintained network performance despite increased load.

The use of seaweed in various industries is currently increasingly widespread. This makes the need for seaweed as a raw material increasingly increasing, apart from that the international market is also aggressively receiving seaweed from Indonesia. Southeast Maluku and the city of Tual have sufficient grass potential available. Nutmeg is a local fruit that is often found in the Maluku area. Kur District is one of the sub-districts of Tual City, which has quite abundant nutmeg plantations. So far, people only use mace and seeds, while the flesh is thrown away, even though the flesh is the largest component of nutmeg, namely 1:4. Jelly drink is a gel-shaped drink that is easy to suck, chewy and can be consumed as a hunger quencher. Gels can be formed through the mechanism of junction zone formation by hydrocolloids (such as carrageenan) together with sugar and acid. This drink has a viscosity level between fruit juice and jelly (Zega, 2010). Jelly drinks can be useful for improving digestion because this product contains fiber so it can also be categorized as a functional drink. Jelly drinks can be given additional ingredients containing vitamins to increase their nutritional value (Sudirjo and Ohoiwutun, 2015). The addition of nutmeg juice to jelly drinks has never been done. This research aims to determine the level of consumer acceptance of seaweed (E. cottonii) jelly drink with added nutmeg juice (Myristica fragrans Houtt). The research was conducted in December 2022 - January 2023, at the Fisheries Product Processing Laboratory, Tual State Fisheries Polytechnic. The ingredients used are dried E. cottonii seaweed and fresh nutmeg, as well as additional granulated sugar. The results showed that the addition of nutmeg juice with a concentration of 20% was preferred by the panelists, both in terms of appearance, color, texture, smell and taste parameters.

Accuracy of an image matching technique for assessing knee alignment during the stance phase of gait using single-plane anteroposterior radiography
Authors: Kobayashi Koichi , Sakamoto Makoto , Soeno Tatsuya , Sato Takashi
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND: Accurate measurement of bone alignment of the knee during walking provides ideal clinical information for diagnosis and treatment of knee joint disorders. To bring this ideal closer to clinical reality, we developed an image matching technique to measure the three-dimensional (3D) position of bones using anteroposterior radiography during the stance phase of treadmill walking. OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate an image matching method for evaluation of 3D knee alignment using anteroposterior radiography of artificial femoral and tibial bones. METHODS: The 3D position of each bone was recovered by minimizing the difference between the projected outline and the contour of the bone in the anteroposterior radiograph. The true value of the position was measured using a 3D coordinate measuring machine. RESULTS: The mean values ± standard deviation and root mean squares (RMS) of translation errors were within −1.6 ± 2.1 mm and 2.6 mm, respectively, for femur, and 2.1 ± 1.9 mm and 2.8 mm for tibia. The mean values ± standard deviation and RMS of errors in rotation were within 0.3 ± 0.7° and 0.7°, respectively, for femur, and −0.3 ± 0.9° and 0.9°, respectively, for tibia. CONCLUSION: Our method is suitable for evaluating 3D knee alignment on anteroposterior radiography.
Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Post-Stroke Comorbid Cognitive Impairment and Depression: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Li Kuide , Mo Dan , Yu Qian , Feng Rongjian , Li Yamei
Published: August 2024

Background:

There are currently no uniform treatments for post-stroke comorbid cognitive impairment and depression (PSCCID).

Objective:

To verify whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve PSCCID symptoms and explore the underlying roles of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).

Methods:

Thirty PSCCID patients were randomized in a 1 : 1 ratio to receive 4 weeks of rTMS (intervention group) or sham rTMS (control group) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). rs-fMRI was acquired to analyze the functional plasticity of brain regions at baseline and immediately after the last intervention.

Results:

Cognition, depression status, and neural electrophysiology were improved in both intervention and control groups after treatment ( p = 0.015–0.042), and the intervention group had more significant improvement than the control group. Analysis of functional connectivities (FCs) within the default mood network (DMN) showed that the connection strength of the left temporal pole/left parahippocampal cortex and right lateral temporal cortex/right retrosplenial cortex in the intervention group were enhanced compared with its pre-intervention and that in the control group after treatment ( p < 0.05), and the both FC values were positively correlated with MMSE scores ( p < 0.001). The intervention group had stronger FCs within the DMN compared with the control group after treatment, and some of the enhanced FCs were correlated with the P300 latency and amplitude.

Conclusions:

rTMS over the left DLPFC is an effective treatment for improving both cognitive impairment and depression among patients with PSCCID. The enhanced FCs within the DMN may serve as a compensatory functional recombination to promote clinical recovery.

Achieving nitrogen fixation in visible light-driven using metal-free and eco-friendly semiconductors at acceptable temperature and pressure still remains a big challenge. In the field of artificial photosynthesis, reported semiconductors for nitrogen fixation have large band gap around 3.0 eV and requires high temperature and pressure which results the catalytic nitrogen fixation is navigate under visible light, consume supply of global energy, and emit global greenhouse gas. In conflict this report illustrates a metal free catalyst EBCNDG with a band gap of ∼2.64 eV at room temperature and pressure indicate photocatalytic campaign toward nitrogen fixation in visible light without producing any harmful gases. The EBCNDG photocatalyst has a vacancy of high active oxygen which helps adsorb and stabilize the intermediate and increases the rate of nitrogen fixation. The EBCNDG photocatalyst was prepared by coupling of an eosin B (EB) with N-doped graphene (NDG) via amide linkage. This unique combination opens a new trial for nitrogen fixation as well as NADH regeneration under acceptable conditions using visible energy. The amount of ammonia obtained by EBCNDG is 0.513 mM and the regeneration yield of NADH is 90.3%.

Many see the role of health informatics research as informing the development and implementation of information technology in clinical practice. The aim of this study is to see if this role is realized in the ongoing implementation of a large-scale health information system in central Norway. By doing a document analysis of the planning documents for the implementation, we assess to what extend evidence from the scientific community is explicitly referenced and used in the implementation planning. We found that evidence available is not explicitly used, and that evidence required is not widely available.

Published: August 2024

The necessity for robust, enduring, and relevant healthcare interoperability is universal across all clinical domains. However, we identified a gap in the availability of open-source, no-cost, high-quality tools that offer multilingual support and an advanced graphical interface. To address this, we developed TermX, an open-source platform to harmonise terminology and support interoperability between healthcare institutions and systems. TermX incorporates a terminology server, a Wiki, a model designer, a transformation editor, and tools for authoring and publishing. TermX is designed to develop terminology and implementation guides for healthcare systems at both the national and regional levels. It aims to ensure open, standardised access to published data and guarantee semantic interoperability based on the FHIR standard.

Respiratory tract infections are a serious threat to health, especially in the presence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Existing AMR detection methods are limited by slow turnaround times and low accuracy due to the presence of false positives and negatives. In this study, we simulate 1,116 clinical metagenomics samples on both Illumina and Nanopore sequencing from curated, real-world sequencing of A. baumannii respiratory infections and build AI models to predict resistance to amikacin. The best performance is achieved by XGBoost on Illumina sequencing (area under the ROC curve = 0.7993 on 5-fold cross-validation).

Published: August 2024

The integration of chatbots in healthcare has gained attention due to their potential to enhance patient engagement and satisfaction. This paper presents a healthcare chatbot providing comprehensive access to patient summaries, aligned with the European Patient Summary. Leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) capabilities, our chatbot employs intent classification using the fine-tuned bioBERT model to categorize user queries effectively and extract relevant information from the patient summary stored in a database. We detail our methodology, which involves dataset creation, hyperparameter tuning, and model evaluation. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, with the trained model achieving high precision, recall, and F1 score across intent classes. Our study underscores the potential of emerging NLP techniques in patient interaction and healthcare delivery, covering the way for smarter, user-friendly companions.
Telemedicine Alert API Engine System for Vital Signs

Telemedicine is used to assist and support remote medical care for patients. Our objective was to build up a REST Webservices alert engine that receives clinical parameters from patients of vital signs and basic laboratories to monitor patients remotely. We built a REST API using FHIR, so it can interoperate with other applications, send data to be processed, and receive a response. If the API detects a health risk situation, it sends an alert about the medical parameters that are controlled. The results of the processed data, news and alert, can return synchronously or asynchronously, at the same time that the data to be processed is being sent. The alerts generated can be automatically sent to a web service, mail or WhatsApp of the physician. The alert message comes out as normal, low, medium and high risk. The presented approach establishes communication that enables timely health information exchange. We conducted an experiment (with fictitious data) where we sent several queries by Postman. Finally, we evaluated the communication to be successful by manual checking. The use of the API significantly improves the monitoring of chronic patients. Many works show the effectiveness of telemedicine to improve the control of certain chronic diseases. In addition, telemedicine interventions were also found to significantly improve other health outcomes. Our API enables us to transfer data and produce alerts successfully. This gives us hope that a future with ubiquitous healthcare information interoperability is possible using our system.

Published: August 2024

Without a gold standard for mobile app usability testing, this paper outlines a case study of how a not-for-profit organization tested the usability of a public-facing mobile app designed to promote the health and wellbeing of workers in Canada by offering accessible resources conveniently through one’s mobile phone. Although the app was developed by a third-party vendor, usability testing and refinement was left to the organization due to budgetary and time constraints. The app underwent three rounds of iterative usability testing. The first phase consisted of observing participants using the app followed by an interview. The second and third phases involved participants following task-based instructions and answering survey questions. All phases uncovered issues which helped to improve and refine the usability of the app before the launch to the public. This work offers a case study example of how low-cost in-house usability testing could be employed.

Published: August 2024

mHealth apps can especially benefit older adults with chronic conditions, but their usage rates remain often low. This study examines how older adults’ self-perceived technical skills and confidence affect their use of a mHealth app. It was conducted in southern Germany and included older adults (65 years and older) with and without age-related chronic conditions. Results indicate that perceived self-efficacy does not always match actual capability. This discrepancy raises concerns about how it might impact the use and prescription of these apps.

Published: August 2024

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare signifies a substantial shift, offering benefits to patients and healthcare systems while also introducing new risks. The emphasis on patient safety and performance standards is pivotal, especially with the European Union’s strides towards regulating AI through the AI Act. This act focuses on classifying AI systems based on risk levels, mandating stringent requirements for high-risk AI, enhancing transparency, and ensuring ethics in AI applications. The concept of an “AI passport” is introduced as a living document detailing the AI system’s purpose, ethical declarations, training, evaluation, and potential biases. This passport aims to enhance transparency and safety in medical AI applications, serving as a comprehensive record for patients, clinicians, and stakeholders. The AI passport, structured in JSON format, encapsulates key information about the AI system as a mechanism for continuous performance evaluation and transparency. This initiative may represent a significant step towards mitigating the risks associated with AI in healthcare, emphasizing the importance of accountability, transparency, and patient safety in the development and application of AI technologies.
