Research on Prediction of Tennis Competition Fluctuations Based on CRITIC Weight Method and CNN-LSTM Model
Authors: Wang Rong , Sun Yujie
Published: August 2024

This paper mainly studies the correlation between the "momentum" index and match outcome in tennis matches, and establishes a model to predict competition fluctuations. First, the index weights associated with "momentum" were determined by the CRITIC weight method, and the Spearman correlation coefficient between "momentum" and "performance coefficient" was 0.479, which indicated that there was a significant correlation between these two. Then, this paper analyzed the correlation between other indicators and the "performance coefficient", and found that the successful first serve, unforced error, running distance, hitting number and other indicators had an important influence on the fluctuation of the game. In order to predict competition fluctuations, CNN and LSTM were combined to form a prediction model, with good results in the 2023 Wimbledon competition data (RMSE <1). In addition, the prediction model was used to prove that competition fluctuations and player wins are not random, and using at least one game data to explore the factors associated with the change of competition situation, laying the foundation for developing predictive models. The index weight allocation was conducted by CRITIC method, which explored the relationship between "momentum" and the result of competition using Spearman correlation analysis, established the CNN-LSTM deep learning model for prediction, and achieved high prediction accuracy.
Analysis Of the Dark Matter Searching for Axions, Wimps and Mini-Blackholes
Authors: Fu Huasheng
Published: August 2024

With the development of science and technology, human beings are no longer satisfied with exploring visible objects. Under the help of gravity, scholars have noticed dark matter and dark energy. Unfortunately, dark matter is ethereal and has not been discovered by human beings for the time being, but through various experiments, astronomers have narrowed the scope of dark matter and defined some matter to guess the nature of dark matter. These are known as candidates for dark matter. This study makes a theoretical analysis of the three dark matter candidates, Axions, WIMPs and mini black holes, and lists various experimental evidences and principles, so as to give readers a clearer understanding of these three types of candidates and their high possibility of existence. These three are currently the hottest candidates and the most important objects for analyzing dark matter. At the same time, in a deeper analysis, their possible existence also indicates that the possibility of the existence of dark biological intelligence is extremely small, and that none of these three substances can rely on conventional physicochemical changes to form complex and cohesive enough matter, let alone to form a normal size organism. Therefore, these results help to understand the status quo and prospect of dark matter research, and provide sufficient theoretical evidence for the discovery of dark matter.

Published: August 2024

Aquaponics is an integrated system that combines hydroponics and aquaculture, enabling the cultivation of plants and fish together. It is increasingly popular in non-traditional agricultural settings such as warehouses and marginal soils, as it allows for local food production without synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or antibiotics. Objective:  The study aimed to utilize fish waste and surplus feed as fertilizers for plant growth, producing multiple food products within a single production unit while optimizing space usage. Methods: A 90-day experimental study was conducted from March to May 2022 at the Fish Biodiversity Hatchery Chashma in Mianwali, Punjab, Pakistan. The study involved control and aquaponic treatments, both managed in outdoor tanks. Fifty fingerlings of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were stocked in each tank. The fish were fed a diet containing 30% crude protein twice daily. The study compared the growth of fish and plants (mint, spinach, tomato) in both treatments. Critical parameters measured included feed conversion ratio (FCR), specific growth rate, and water quality. Statistical analyses were performed using a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. Results: The surplus feed in the aquaponic system facilitated better growth for Cyprinus carpio and plants. The aquaponic system demonstrated a significantly higher growth rate than the control (p ≤ 0.05). The average FCR was 1.86 in the aquaponic system and 2.22 in the control, indicating more efficient feed utilization in the aquaponic setup. Water quality parameters showed no significant differences between the two treatments. Conclusion: The aquaponic system proved to be more effective than the control in improving the growth performance and survival rate of fish and supporting plant growth. This system represents a viable and sustainable alternative for food production, maximizing space utilization and resource efficiency.

Published: August 2024

Hip fractures are mostly associated with post-operative morbidity and mortality. The Surgical Apgar Score considers the intraoperative parameters for risk estimation of postoperative complications or mortality. Objective: To assess the association of surgical Apgar score with postoperative morbidity and mortality among patients with hip fractures. Methods: Thirty-eight patients of both genders aged≥18 years who underwent hip fracture surgery were included. Surgical Apgar Score (SAS) is based on intra-operative values of lowest heart rate (LHR), lowest mean arterial blood pressure (LMAP), and estimated blood loss (EBL). Mortality within 30 days of surgery was recorded. The normality of data was checked, and the Median (IQR) was reported due to non-normal distribution. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for qualitative variables. Mann Whitney U-test was applied to study the association between SAS and postoperative complications. P-value ≤0.05 was considered as statistically significant.  Results: Median age was 71 years [(IQR) 62.25-76.25]. Thirty-seven percent of patients were male, and 63.2% were female. Four patients (10.5%) experienced cellulitis, wound dehiscence, aspiration pneumonia, and the onset of supraventricular tachycardia during the post-operative phase. Four patients (10.5%) required readmission. 11 patients (28.9%) were retained in special care units for one to two days. The median surgical APGAR score was 7[(IQR) 6-8] in relation to the operating parameters. No statistically significant difference was discovered between the complication and the Apgar score (p=0.060). Conclusion: The Surgical Apgar score does not help predict the postoperative risk of complications and 30-day mortality after hip surgeries.

Published: August 2024

Accurate measurement of cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) is crucial for the management of critically ill patients. While transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a well-established method, pulse index continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) monitoring is gaining attention for its potential advantages in constant hemodynamic monitoring. Objective: To compare cardiac output and stroke volume assessments derived from transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and pulse index continuous cardiac output monitoring (PiCCO) in critically ill adult patients. Methods: This prospective comparative study was conducted at Khyber Teaching Hospital from May 2022 to November 2022, following ethical approval from the institutional review board. A cohort of 25 adult patients of both genders, requiring hemodynamic monitoring as per clinical indications, was included through non-probability consecutive sampling. Both TTE and PiCCO were performed to measure cardiac output and stroke volume. Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman plots were utilized to analyze the outcomes statistically. Results: The comparison revealed a non-significant positive correlation between CO values obtained via TTE and PiCCO (P=0.434, r=0.164) and a significant positive correlation for cardiac index (CI) values (P=0.010, r=0.506). Conversely, a non-significant negative correlation was observed for SV values (P=0.45, r=-0.158). The mean differences for CO, CI, and SV between TTE and PiCCO were 0.214 L/min, -0.0056 L/min, and -1.292 L/min, respectively, with varying confidence intervals across the measurements. Conclusion: The measurements of cardiac output and stroke volume obtained from transthoracic echocardiography were comparable to those obtained via PiCCO. These findings support the reliability of echocardiography for assessing hemodynamic parameters in critically ill patients.

This research paper analyzes reflexivity and metanarrative presented in Diego Velázquez's iconic painting, Las Meninas, and Mark Z. Danielewski's experimental novel, House of Leaves by examining both works' unconventional narrative structures, self-reflexivity, and fragmented nature. Utilizing the conceptual structure of the terms mentioned in the book The Philosophy of the Mirror (1994) by the late Egyptian thinker Dr. Mahmoud Ragab, as the following concepts: the mirror, the act of reflection, and the dialectic relationship between the viewer and the viewed, will lead to an exploration of the impact of self-reflection and reflective contemplation on the novel, the subject of study. Through a descriptive and analytical lens, this research paper will explore the connections between the two artistic forms, highlighting how they challenge traditional notions of representation and narrative. Through the philosophy of mirror, art challenges traditional notions of reality, authority, and representation. By examining the visual elements and literary techniques employed in these works, this paper aims to highlight how to embody and exemplify reflexivity principles. Through the dialectic relationship between the viewer and the viewed, this painting raises a wide range of artistic, literary, and philosophical questions that have had an impact on many forms of art. For example, the philosophy of this painting has influenced the French philosopher Michel Foucault, who wrote about it in the introduction to his book, The Order of Things.

A cetoacidose diabética (CAD) é uma complicação metabólica grave da diabetes mellitus que exige atenção urgente e manejo adequado. Este artigo oferece uma visão abrangente sobre a CAD, abordando aspectos essenciais como etiologia, manifestações clínicas, diagnóstico, tratamento, complicações e estratégias de prevenção. A CAD é frequentemente desencadeada por uma combinação de fatores como infecções, interrupções no tratamento ou outras condições associadas à diabetes. O controle glicêmico inadequado e a falta de adesão ao tratamento são fatores cruciais que contribuem para o desenvolvimento da crise. O diagnóstico precoce da CAD é fundamental e envolve a realização de exames laboratoriais para avaliar níveis de glicose, cetonas e eletrólitos. A identificação rápida e precisa da condição permite uma intervenção eficaz e reduz o risco de complicações graves. O tratamento da CAD é complexo e inclui a administração de fluidos e insulina, além da monitorização contínua dos parâmetros metabólicos para garantir uma recuperação segura e eficaz. O manejo das possíveis complicações, como hipocalemia e edema cerebral, é igualmente importante para prevenir desfechos adversos. A prevenção é fortemente ligada ao controle rigoroso da glicemia e à educação do paciente. Estratégias preventivas eficazes incluem a manutenção de uma adesão rigorosa ao plano de tratamento e a preparação para situações de emergência. A educação contínua sobre os sinais e sintomas da CAD e a importância da monitorização da glicose são essenciais para permitir uma resposta rápida e reduzir a incidência de episódios de CAD. Por fim, a gestão da cetoacidose diabética exige uma abordagem integrada que combina controle glicêmico, diagnóstico preciso, tratamento eficaz e estratégias preventivas. A colaboração entre pacientes e equipes de saúde, junto com a educação contínua, é fundamental para a redução da morbidade associada a essa condição e para a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos pacientes com diabetes mellitus.

A Doença Arterial Coronariana (DAC) é uma condição prevalente e crítica que afeta a saúde cardiovascular globalmente. Caracterizada pela obstrução das artérias coronárias devido ao acúmulo de placas ateroscleróticas, a DAC reduz o fluxo sanguíneo para o miocárdio, podendo levar a eventos graves como angina, infarto do miocárdio e insuficiência cardíaca. Este artigo aborda aspectos fundamentais da DAC, incluindo sua epidemiologia, fisiopatologia, etiologia, manifestações clínicas, diagnóstico, tratamento clínico, intervenções cirúrgicas e dispositivos, prevenção e prognóstico. A epidemiologia revela uma alta prevalência, associada a fatores de risco como hipertensão, diabetes mellitus e dislipidemia. A fisiopatologia da doença envolve a formação de placas ateroscleróticas nas artérias coronárias, resultando na obstrução do fluxo sanguíneo e comprometimento do fornecimento de oxigênio ao miocárdio, o que pode causar disfunção cardíaca. Os principais fatores de risco incluem estilo de vida inadequado, predisposição genética e comorbidades, que aceleram a progressão da doença. O diagnóstico é realizado através de métodos de imagem, como a angiografia coronária e a tomografia computadorizada, além de testes funcionais que avaliam a gravidade da obstrução e a função cardíaca. O tratamento clínico envolve a combinação de terapias medicamentosas e intervenções para controlar os sintomas e melhorar o fluxo sanguíneo. Em casos mais graves, são necessárias intervenções cirúrgicas, como angioplastia e cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica, para restaurar o fluxo sanguíneo adequado. A prevenção e intervenção precoce são essenciais para reduzir a incidência de DAC. A modificação dos fatores de risco e o tratamento eficaz são fundamentais para melhorar os desfechos e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. O prognóstico da DAC depende da gravidade da doença e da resposta ao tratamento, destacando a importância do acompanhamento contínuo e da adesão a um estilo de vida saudável.
