We investigated at the optical properties, structural makeup, and morphology of thin films of cadmium telluride (CdTe) with a thickness of 150 nm produced by thermal evaporation over glass. The X-ray diffraction study showed that the films had a crystalline composition, a cubic structure, and a preference for grain formation along the (111) crystallographic direction. The outcomes of the inquiry were used to determine these traits. With the use of thin films of CdTe that were doped with Ag at a concentration of 0.5%, the crystallization orientations of pure CdTe (23.58, 39.02, and 46.22) and CdTe:Ag were both determined by X-ray diffraction. orientations (23.72, 39.21, 46.40) For samples that were pure and those that were doped with silver, the optical band gap shrank by (1.52-1.47) eV (400–1100)nm resulting in a drop in the absorption coefficient. An incident power density of (100 mW/cm2) was used to examine the I-V properties of heterojunctions created by light on a variety of clean and doped materials. In accordance with the X-ray diffraction analysis, the films had a cubic structure and dominated grain growth along the (111) crystallographic direction.

Gd2O3:Er3+@Gd2O3:Yb3+ core-shell nanofibers with cubic phase were successfully fabricated by electrospinning method. The structural, morphological properties were investigated by X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy. Under 980 nm excitation, the upconversion photoluminescence in visible light exhibits strong red emitting band with obvious splitting peaks resulted from stark splitting of energy level. The visible emissions are sensitive to temperature in the range of 303-543 K. The red emission displays quenching with elevation of temperature. The activation energy for thermal quenching is equal to 0.1408 eV. The temperature dependent multi-peaks of red emission were systematically investigated. Based on valley and peak ratio of I680.31nm/ I683.03nm in upconversion emission spectra, temperature sensing with constant absolute sensitivity was achieved. These results suggest Gd2O3:Er3+@Gd2O3:Yb3+ nanofibers are promising candidates for luminescence thermometry, which may provide their application values in both scientific research and industry.

When compared to solar cells made from other materials, perovskites provided better performance in organic or inorganic hybrid solar cells. But one of the biggest problems facing scientists working in the photovoltaic industry right now is improving the stability of Perovskite solar cells. Despite their enormous potential, which exceeds that of traditional photovoltaic solar cells, these cells' low stability inhibits their commercialisation. In the current study, we looked at how the temperature of the substrate affected the physical characteristics of Perovskite thin films produced by spray pyrolysis using a moving nozzle. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy pictures, ultraviolet and visible absorption spectroscopy, and other methods were used to characterize the produced films. The results demonstrate that 90°C is the ideal deposition temperature.

The growth of Ag NPs decorated ZnO tip-like nanowires was obtained by a combination of the chemical vapor deposition and the micro-spraying methods. ZnO growth was analyzed by a two-level factorial experimental design with temperature, pressure, and zinc mass as the main parameters. The process of Ag NPs synthesis by electrolysis and their transport to the semiconductor surface using micro-spraying is presented in detail. By means of electrical and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the potential of Ag NPs decorated ZnO tip-like nanowires to be used an active layer in gas sensor is demonstrated.

The ion implantation method is one of the techniques used to dope the materials. The TRIM software (Transport and Range of Ions in Mater) created by Ziegler and colleagues [1] can simulate it. In this work, we studied the effect of incidence angles for different energies on the distribution of implant ions in the target by using the TRIM software, and several processes resulting from the interaction between Potassium ions and the target atoms are examined. Simulated physical effects are intriguing.
Centrosome amplification fine tunes tubulin acetylation to differentially control intracellular organization
Authors: Monteiro Pedro , Yeon Bongwhan , Wallis Samuel S , Godinho Susana A
Published: July 2023

Intracellular organelle organization is conserved in eukaryotic cells and is primarily achieved through active transport by motor proteins along the microtubule cytoskeleton. Microtubule post‐translational modifications (PTMs) can contribute to microtubule diversity and differentially regulate motor‐mediated transport. Here, we show that centrosome amplification, commonly observed in cancer and shown to promote aneuploidy and invasion, induces a global change in organelle positioning towards the cell periphery and facilitates nuclear migration through confined spaces. This reorganization requires kinesin‐1 and is analogous to the loss of dynein. Cells with amplified centrosomes display increased levels of acetylated tubulin, a PTM that could enhance kinesin‐1‐mediated transport. Depletion of α‐tubulin acetyltransferase 1 (αTAT1) to block tubulin acetylation rescues the displacement of centrosomes, mitochondria, and vimentin but not Golgi or endosomes. Analyses of the distribution of total and acetylated microtubules indicate that the polarized distribution of modified microtubules, rather than levels alone, plays an important role in the positioning of specific organelles, such as the centrosome. We propose that increased tubulin acetylation differentially impacts kinesin‐1‐mediated organelle displacement to regulate intracellular organization.

Objective: to classify the quality of nursing care and analyze the association between professionals' characteristics and the implementation of preventive measures for pressure injuries in hospitalized children. Methods: this observational, cross-sectional study involved 235 nursing professionals. The Pressure Injury Prevention instrument comprised three domains with a total of 23 items: Preventive measures and early detection of pressure injuries (9 items), Pressure relief measures (8 items), and Assessment and reporting (6 items), analyzed using the Positivity Index for Quality of Care. Results: Most participants were females (98.7%), with a mean age of 38.83 ± 9.94 years, nursing technicians (57.4%), and had more than five years of experience (77.1%). Nursing care was predominantly inadequate across all three domains, with 82.6% of actions rated as poor. Significant associations were found between "participation in training courses" and "work-related exhaustion". There was a trend towards increased compliance with measurements among professionals aged 31-40. Conclusion: nursing care was predominantly poor and participation in training courses and the presence of exhaustion were associated with better adherence to preventive measures. Contributions to practice: the study highlights the pressing need for investments in professional training and the provision of necessary resources to support high-quality and safe nursing care.

We conducted a study using the keyword search (estrogens and COVID-19) in various databases through June 2022. All articles were published in English. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, gender differences were found in the course and outcomes of the disease. The goal of this review was to summarize the knowledge of the mechanisms underlying gender-based differences in COVID-19, with a focus on the role of estrogens. The article discusses the involvement of estrogen in the implementation of the immune response to viral infection. Separate sections of the review are dedicated to the effect of estrogens on innate and adaptive varieties of immunity. We concluded that there is great potential for future research on deciphering the effect of hormones on human physiology and immune responses to explain the heterogeneity of human pathogenic responses.
Żałoba animy czy noc ciemna? Lemowska Solaris w perspektywie chrześcijańsko-psychoanalitycznej
Authors:   Instytut Literatury, Staroń Ireneusz
Published: July 2023

Romansowo-mistyczna fabuła przedstawiona w Lemowskiej Solaris w anturażu science fiction daje się rozpatrywać jako wielka parabola o poznawaniu głębinowego ja. Tę z kolei możemy odczytywać na dwóch poziomach: psychoanalitycznym oraz chrześcijańskim. Relacja miłosna Krisa z Harey – kobietą stworzoną przez wielki ocean na obraz i podobieństwo dawnej kochanki bohatera – jawi się jako spotkanie z animą, z pierwiastkiem żeńskim męskiej psychiki. Z drugiej zaś strony licznie obecne aluzje chrystologiczne pozwalają rozumieć tę oś fabularną jako alegorię miłości Duszy-Oblubienicy i Chrystusa-Oblubieńca, co odsyła do Pieśni nad Pieśniami. Harey, decydując się na dobrowolną ofiarę ze swego życia, dąży do uwolnienia Krisa z zamkniętego pokoju pamięci, z kręgu symulakrów, co w kontekście mistycznym należy odczytywać jako możliwy początek procesu chrystoformizacji głównego bohatera. Licznie obecne w powieści obrazy akwatyczne, fabularyzowane opisy wielkiego oceanu w perspektywie wyższych układów znaczeniowych dają się rozpatrywać jako topiczne wyobrażenia praporodu i wejścia do sfery archetypów. W tym sensie świat przedstawiony Solaris w całości obrazuje wnętrze psychiki Krisa, zaś wpisana w powieść interpretacyjna wieloznaczność skłania do refleksji nad kondycją człowieka doby nowoczesnej.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest związek powieści Joanny Bator Ciemno, prawie noc z konwencją fantastyki grozy, ujawniający się w organizującym fabułę wątku odkrywania tajemnicy. Do fantastyki grozy wprost odnosi się w powieści sama narratorka, która nie tylko dąży do rozwikłania zagadki, ale też wielokrotnie podczas wypełniającego tę historię procesu odkrywania czyni refleksję nad wiedzą i poznaniem. W swoich rozważaniach wkracza ona w problematykę istotną z punktu widzenia konwencji, która „zrodziła się wtedy, gdy każdy był już w mniejszym czy większym stopniu przekonany o niemożliwości cudu” (Caillois), i która stała się miejscem ekspresji dla treści wykluczonych z powszechnie obowiązującego dyskursu.

Image of Lithuanian Communists who Broke away from Moscow in the TV Show “Panorama” of the Lithuanian Television in January-March 1990
Authors: Aluzas Lukas
Published: July 2023

The transformation of communist societies into democratic ones in Europe in 1988-1990 is a massive and complicated phenomenon. Claiming that they were implementing democracy, the local communist regimes had been trying to maintain their influence in the states, for which they had a lot of resources, including the media. In terms of political communication, the mass media claimed not even the position of an individual actor next to politicians or the audience, but a puppet group of politicians. The liberating society began to look at non-communist political alternatives, while the communists were trying to maintain a monopoly. This also happened in 1990 in Lithuania, which was occupied by the Soviet Union. Hence the question arises, as the first democratic elections after the Second World War had approached, how did the media describe the Lithuanian Communist Party that seized power? Consecutive newspaper archives have survived to this day, therefore we can clearly see how the press has reflected the news of the political field. But what and how was streaming media TV broadcasting? Often these were working at the time say “I don’t remember anything” or tell generalized narratives. In addition, there is an argument that there are little remains left of the programs, which cannot provide a full context of what and how television had been showing. Based on the thesis of television theory and practice that a television report or other production is created based on a text, the texts of the program “Panorama” stored in the Central State Archive of Lithuania are used to prepare the article. The purpose of this article is to show how the journalists reflected the events related to the Lithuanian Communist Party in the main informational television show, what attitudes of the audience could be formed on this political force during the election campaign. The article publishes an analysis of the texts of the TV show “Panorama” related to the Lithuanian Communist Party, its leader Algirdas Brazauskas and the party’s activities.

Published: July 2023

Background: Association Adolescent Child Care in India conducts Life Skills workshop (LSE) for children and adolescents across cities. This paper analyses the data of an anger management session in high school children. Objective: To analyse how anger is expressed in high school children and their families. Teaching various aspects of anger and constructive ways to express anger. Materials & Methods: A customized AACCI worksheet was given to 65 participants aged 13-15 years of age attending LSE workshop in Nagpur, India. Participants were asked how they express their anger; giving four choices and explaining what each is -venting, rationalization, withdrawal, and distraction. They were asked to fill in how their parents, siblings and their significant adult in their life express anger. Chi square test of independence was conducted to understand how children’s anger expression is related to familial expression of anger. Results: In this sample, from children’s data, we found distraction 50%, venting 29%, withdrawal 7% and rationalization 14%. In family patterns of expressing anger, venting was most common- mothers (58%) and fathers (40%). Rationalizing was the second most common way of expressing anger - mothers 31% and fathers 35%. Chi square revealed significant relationships at p<0.00001. Conclusion: Parents need to learn constructive ways of anger expression as role models. This study has shown that parental expression of anger influences children’s expression of anger. This sample of mid adolescence (13-15yrs) uses less impulsive and expressive means of expressing anger, those that reduce conflict situations. Limitations:This is a pilot study, hence sample is small. Larger sample is required for further validation. However we have got statistically significant results.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Current viral bronchiolitis guidelines exclude infants with congenital heart disease (CHD). Variations in the use of common therapeutics in this population and their associations with clinical outcomes are unknown. Our objective was to evaluate variations in (1) the use of β-2-agonists and hypertonic saline across hospitals among infants with CHD hospitalized with bronchiolitis, and (2) hospital-level associations between medication use and outcomes.

METHODS

We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study using administrative data from 52 hospitals in the Pediatric Health Information System. We included infants ≤12 months old hospitalized from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2019 for bronchiolitis with a secondary diagnosis of CHD. Primary exposures were the hospital-level proportion of days that patients received β-2-agonists or hypertonic saline. Linear regression models assessed the association between the primary exposure and length of stay, 7-day readmission, mechanical ventilation use, and ICU utilization, adjusting for patient covariates and accounting for clustering by center.

RESULTS

We identified 6846 index hospitalizations for bronchiolitis in infants with CHD. Overall, 43% received a β-2-agonist, and 23% received hypertonic saline. The proportion of days with the use of β-2-agonists (3.6% to 57.4%) and hypertonic saline (0.0% to 65.8%) varied widely across hospitals in our adjusted model. For both exposures, adjusted models revealed no association between days of use and patient outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

For children with CHD hospitalized with bronchiolitis, hospital-level use of β-2-agonists and hypertonic saline varied widely, and their use was not associated with clinical outcomes.
Integration of terrestrial laser scanning and UAV-based photogrammetry for heritage building Information modeling
Authors: Klapa Przemysław
Published: July 2023

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of generating 3D models based on object databases. They are made for various types of buildings, sites and objects, and their task is to represent all the structural and architectural features of the object using parametric models. The BIM technology involves the preparation of the model that is already at the design stage of the building, in such a way that it is used during conceptual and implementation works, as well as during its final operation. However, a BIM model of existing objects can also be generated. Historic buildings are a special group of objects The HBIM (Heritage Building Information Modeling) model is used not only as an inventory of the object in its current state, but also as a background and a tool for visualising the object in its restored state, or as a source of information about the building itself for conservation, renovation and documentation purposes. Such a model can be created based on various types of source data. The basis for the development of the BIM model can be formed by data acquired during the inventory of the facility using surveying methods, laser scanning and photogrammetry. This paper presents the process of data acquisition of a historic object using the example of Lamus Dworski with the use of TLS and UAV. The study also includes the process of HBIM modeling of the object using point clouds as well as photographic documentation and data recorded in the monument card.
Simplified diffusion analysis – cartography as a tool for combating pandemics
Authors: Budkowski Szczepan
Published: July 2023

The transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is a complex and intricate process, but it is possible to efficiently track and contain the spread of the pandemic in a given area by observing the regularities of the pathogen’s diffusion. One of the basic measures to hamper the development of the disease was to reduce the intensity of social contact by banning free movement. An adequate response in selected regions, where the virus develops much more rapidly, is crucial and prevents serious economic damage to many industries. The modern perception of cartography as an interdisciplinary tool can contribute to limiting the diffusion of infection through spatial analyses.
The aim of this paper is to present cartography as a tool to support the “management” of a pandemic. In terms of methodology, the well-known choropleth map method was employed along with spatial structure analyses. The basic category considered within the framework of statistics and econometrics is spatial relationships formulated for the purpose of achieving the set objective in the form of spatial weight matrices. In the analyses presented here, a modified Moran model was used, within which the Authors applied a row-standardised weight matrix using migration data of individual counties. The paper reviews what has been achieved so far, based mainly on European solutions. Insufficient availability of reliable data needed for advanced models (especially in the initial phase of virus spread) means that using migration data from the nearest neighbourhood can be a viable solution. This approach comes down to an analysis of migration and the population density in the county in question. A simplified analysis with a statistically significant probability allows the identification of counties that could potentially become sites of uncontrolled virus transmission in areas of high population density and high mobility. This is undoubtedly the main achievement of the publication.
The results obtained converge approximately with the actual development of a pandemic. The studies carried out indicate that the development of a pandemic is influenced not only by the number of infections, but above all by population density, as well as economic, social, educational and transport networks, as shown by the high Pearson coefficient correlation of 0.83. The analyses indicate the possibility of uncontrolled transmission of the virus in areas of high population density and high mobility.

Groundwater quality determination and age estimation in a desert landscape of El Golea province situated in the south of Algeria has been investigated in the present research paper. For this regard, 57 water samples were collected from an aquifer composed of two superimposed systems; phreatic and deep continental intercalary (CI) aquifers which are a part of the Northern Sahara Aquifer System (NWSAS). Samples were analyzed to assess the age and water quality using descriptive, multivariate statistics (PCA and HCA) and stable isotopes. It is revealed that more than 71% of the IC points are characterized by a water type (Ca2+, Mg2+) (HCO3–)2 and more than 83% of the TC samples are defined by a water type (Ca2+, Na+) (HCO3–, SO42–) and very high salt ions contents due to the influence of surface water, evaporate leaching and irrigation water return. The isotopic composition of samples of phreatic and CI aquifers shows a clear difference between the two qualities of water. The phreatic aquifer is characterized by the δ18O range from –4.68 to –6.1, whereas δ2H from –47.25 to –59.48 and CI with values of the δ18O range from –5.96 to –7.6, and δ2H range between –53.7 and –65.78 isotopic signature. The unconfined aquifer above IC forms a special case of a mixture of ancient water from deep horizons and recent water strongly enriched from shallow horizon lands.
Draft of the Zamość development plan of 1939
Authors: Przegon Wojciech
Published: July 2023

The paper is written in the form of a scientific essay. The method used was the analysis of historical and contemporary planning materials, starting from the interwar period. Extensive specialist literature has been studied, especially that which raises the issue of the urban, architectural and cultural values of Zamość. It provides an analysis of the “Draft of the Zamość Development Plan of 1939” (“Szkicowy projekt planu zabudowania Zamościa z 1939 r.”) by the architect Jan Zachwatowicz and the urbanist Władysław Wieczorkiewicz. The paper also describes the circumstances leading to the foundation of Zamość. It draws attention to the elements missing from the contemporary urban development plans of the town, which were present in the excellent pre-war planning work. It also underlies the importance of municipal public transport, which should always be the basis for the delimitation of functional zones. It also includes a brief discussion of the 1994 “General Local Plan for the Spatial Development of the City of Zamość” („Miejscowy plan ogólny zagospodarowania przestrzennego miasta Zamościa z 1994 r.”), which, according to the author, is the best planning document produced after the Second World War. The aim of the study was to highlight those elements that coincided with the idea of the 1939 plan sketched by Jan Zachwatowicz and Władysław Wieczorkiewicz. The paper uses the method of footnotes, which refer the reader to the relevant source material and may also provide additional commentary on the presented content. The three illustrations are photographs of maps (charts) of the 1939 plan. They are also included in the 2018 scholarly monograph “Cartographic zamostiana” („Kartograficzne zamostiana”) by Wojciech Przegon and Jakub Żygawski.

The object of research is the processes of emergence, perception, and redistribution of loads in the supporting structure of a flatcar with a floor made of sandwich panels.
To reduce the impact of dynamic loads on the supporting structure of a flatcar, as well as the safety of goods transported in it, it is proposed to manufacture floors from sandwich panels.
Within the framework of the study, mathematical modeling of the dynamic load on a flatcar when it runs in a loaded state was carried out. It was found that, taking into account the proposed solution, the accelerations acting on the supporting structure of a flatcar are reduced by 8.4 % compared to the typical one. At the same time, accelerations acting on cargo placed on a flatbed car are reduced by 11.7 %. The results of calculating the strength of sandwich panels, when arranged on a flatcar, proved the feasibility of the proposed improvement. The main indicators of dynamics of the improved flatcar structure operated in an empty state were determined. It was established that the flatcar movement is assessed as "good".
A feature of the results reported here is that the improved supporting structure of a flatcar contributes not only to reducing its dynamic load but also to improving the safety of transported cargoes.
The scope of practical application of the results is the engineering industry, in particular, railroad transport. The condition for the practical application of the research results is the use of energy-absorbing material in the structure of sandwich panels.
The study could contribute to devising recommendations regarding the design of modern structures of railroad vehicles and increasing the efficiency of the functioning of the transportation industry
Development of a new multi-criteria decision-making method
Authors: Dua Tran Van
Published: July 2023

Choosing the best option out of the many available options is always the goal to be achieved in all areas. However, the parameters (criteria) in each alternative are not the same, sometimes contradictory. In this situation, choosing the best option is an extremely difficult decision for the decision maker. Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) is the ranking of alternatives based on the criteria of each alternative. More than one hundred multi-criteria decision-making methods have been proposed by the inventors. They are being used in many different fields. However, for decision makers, choosing an appropriate method to use in each specific case is a difficult task. CURLI (Collaborative Unbiased Rank List Integration) is a multi-criteria decision making method that distinguishes it from all others. That difference is reflected in the fact that when applying this method, the decision maker does not need to normalize the data nor determine the weights for the criteria. However, it will take a long time for decision makers to apply this method, especially when the number of options to rank is large. This study carried out the development of a new MCDM method based on the CURLI method. This new method is named CURLI-2. Many different examples are presented to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. In each example, the result of ranking the alternatives using the CURLI-2 method has been compared with those using other different MCDM methods. The best alternative determined when using the CURLI-2 method always coincides with the use of existing MCDM methods. Using CURLI-2 method to rank alternatives will be much faster and simpler than using CURLI method. This is the advantage of CURLI-2 method compared with CURLI method

The object of research are decision support systems. The subject of research is the decision-making process in management problems using bio-inspired algorithms.
A method for the search of solutions in the field of national security using bio-inspired algorithms is proposed. The proposed method is based on a combination of an artificial bat algorithm and evolving artificial neural networks. The method has the following sequence of actions:
‒ input of initial data;
‒ processing of initial data taking into account the degree of uncertainty;
‒ numbering of bat agents (BA);
‒ placement of bat agents taking into account the degree of uncertainty about the state of the analysis object in the search space;
‒ setting the initial BA speed and the echolocation frequency of each BA;
‒ starting a local search;
‒ launching a global search;
‒ training knowledge bases of bat agents.
The originality of the proposed method consists in the arrangement of bat agents taking into account the uncertainty of initial data, improved global and local search procedures taking into account the noise degree of data about the state of the analysis object.
Another feature of the proposed method is the use of an improved procedure for training bat agents. The training procedure consists in learning the synaptic weights of an artificial neural network, the type and parameters of the membership function, the architecture of individual elements and the architecture of the artificial neural network as a whole. The method makes it possible to increase the efficiency of data processing at the level of 13–21 % due to the use of additional improved procedures. The proposed method should be used to solve the problems of evaluating complex and dynamic processes in the interests of solving national security problems

The object of this study is the process of goods delivery in international road transport using various types of logistics chains.
The problem being solved is due to the need to develop recommendations for exporters of goods to reformat or design new supply chains during wartime. The expediency of organizing foreign trade operations by the cargo owners' own forces or with the involvement of enterprises providing logistics consulting services is considered.
A simulation model of goods delivery in international road traffic was built and implemented in the GPSS World simulation automation package.
The model involves the optimization of organizational and technological processes related to the activity of both a separate link and the entire supply chain. The study takes into account the components of the time characteristics of the performance of preparatory work when establishing cooperation with institutions and organizations, as well as the direct service of the exporter. The application of the developed model in practical activities will provide an opportunity for exporters to obtain information about the duration and reliability of the stages of a foreign trade operation and the feasibility of involving consulting enterprises in cooperation. At the same time, the simulation results reflect the performance indicators of the proposed supply chains when delivering goods by road transport along various routes. The proposed simulation model will make it possible to reduce the time spent searching for links in the formation of a supply chain by 8–12 %, and the duration of a foreign trade operation by 10–14 %. Thus, the reliability of cooperation with intermediary organizations will increase by 8–11 %
Discrete electrocardiogram T amplitude detection based on cycle duration
Authors: Setiawidayat Sabar
Published: July 2023

In each cycle of the electrocardiogram wave there are P, Q, R, S and T amplitudes. Many studies have been conducted to obtain amplitude and QRS waves because they are related to ventricular depolarization, but to obtain T amplitude values related to ventricular repolarization are still rarely done, not even for the clinical standard (12 leads). This study aims to obtain the amplitude T value in each cycle and each electrocardiogram lead. Obtaining the amplitude T position on the reference lead will also find the amplitude T value on the other lead. Each cycle duration obtained from the duration RN to RN+1 is used to obtain the position of the endpoint of each cycle. The maximum value between the amplitude S position and the end point of the cycle is the amplitude T value. The results of research on 10 Physionet sinus rhythm samples and 10 Saiful Anwar Hospital Malang samples show that the duration of the cycle was successful in obtaining the amplitude T value for each lead. All samples can display a value. The amplitude in each cycle, where the values obtained in each cycle are still in normal conditions. The amplitude T value obtained is certainly accurate because there is only one positive value between the amplitude S position and the end of the cycle position. The position of the amplitude integer T found in a cycle in one lead will be the same as the position of the amplitude integer T in the cycle for the other lead. This occurs because of the simultaneous transmission of impulses that affect the atrial and ventricular muscle cells. The position of the amplitude T for each cycle can be found by filtering the maximum amplitude value between the amplitude position S and the final position of the cycle. Practically, this method can be programmed to be added to a digital electrocardiograph
