Gênero, exemplo e pertencimento
Authors: Anglada Carolina
Published: December 2024

Este artigo propõe uma leitura centrada no texto “La loi du genre”, de Jacques Derrida, a partir do qual são tecidas conexões e atravessamentos com os pensamentos teóricos e filosóficos de Giorgio Agamben e de Judith Butler, no que toca as noções de gênero, exemplo e pertencimento. Trata-se de analisar o modo como o contemporâneo se coloca diante de questões tão caras à subjetividade, no que tange tanto uma política dos corpos quanto uma política dos textos. Nesse sentido, buscamos ampliar a discussão com a leitura da obra Argonautas, escrita pela professora e pesquisadora Maggie Nelson, que relata o seu relacionamento com o artista queer Harry Dodge.
Uma revisão teórica da crítica literária: do estruturalismo à crítica feminista
Authors: Capelari Pedrozo Elisa
Published: December 2024

O presente estudo analisa brevemente a trajetória da crítica literária, a partir do estruturalismo aos estudos culturais, com ênfase na crítica feminista. Observa-se as diferentes correntes antropológicas presentes na formação da identidade do homem, com a finalidade de entender como a crítica modificou o seu objeto de pesquisa da estrutura textual para o conteúdo da escritura, iniciado em fins da década de cinquenta (1950). Para tanto, resgatam-se as produções de diversos pesquisadores acerca da Antropologia, Filosofia e Literatura, tais como: Andréa Lisly Gonçalves (2006), Elaine Showalter (1994), Jacques Derrida (1971), Judith Butler (2003), Patricia Meyer Spacks (1975), Stuart Hall (2003 e 2005) e Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2000).

A linhagem de Judá e a Genealogia de Davi: Commentarium in Apocalipsin do Beato de Liébana (1047)
Authors: Lima Carolina Akie Ochiai Seixas
Published: December 2024

Apresentamos a edição e a tradução de duas páginas do códice Commentarium in Apocalipsin do Beato de Liébana (1047). Das 24 tábuas genealógicas das Tribos de Judá, contidas no códice, destacamos apenas duas, a tábua da linhagem de Judá e a da linhagem de Davi. Nosso objetivo é demonstrar a complexidade desse material e o formato em que se encontra no início do códice, o que traz ao leitor certo cuidado no ato da leitura. Leitura esta que exige o conhecimento da letra manuscrita visigótica, própria dos textos eclesiásticos ibéricos e, ainda, o conhecimento do latim eclesiástico do século XI, que também comporta características próprias. Para a edição do texto, criamos uma metodologia própria, já que o texto contido no interior das genealogias não se apresenta de forma linear, e, para a tradução, nos baseamos nas normas gramaticais vigentes e na consulta ao texto da Bíblia de Jerusalém.
"Being a Black girl also means to be my own person expressively"
Authors:   , Cameron Tajma , Wright Christopher G.
Published: December 2024

This dissertation utilized a qualitative collective case study (Stake, 1995) to examine four Black adolescent girls' science identities within the context of an afterschool science program featuring a culturally sustaining science curriculum. Employing a qualitative research design, the study utilized semi-structured interviews, video observations, reflective journaling, and Black girl cartography to examine how four Black girls perceived themselves in relation to science as they engaged with a culturally sustaining science curriculum and how their engagement in the afterschool program influenced how they perceived their science abilities. The analysis drew upon the theories of Critical Race Feminism (Berry, 2010; Wing, 1997) and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies (Paris, 2012) to explore the intersections of race, gender, culture, and science education. Findings suggest that the centering of participants' interests and perspectives within the curriculum played a significant role in fostering a sense of belonging, empowerment, and confidence in scientific abilities. The findings also underscore the impact of culturally sustaining practices on Black girls' attitudes towards science, illuminating how such approaches can shape their identities as science learners and practitioners. Central to these findings is the recognition of Black girls' intersectional identities and the significance of valuing these identities within science education settings. By honoring Black girls' multifaceted identities, the study advocates for utilizing a strengths-based approach that enhances understanding of how Black girls actively participate in and contribute to the science community. This research contributes to both theoretical understandings and practical applications in science education of how culturally sustaining educational practices support and empower Black girls engaging in science, offering implications for educators, researchers, and policymakers interested in promoting equitable access and engagement in science among Black girls.

Authors: Demirel Burcu , Kökrek Zekeriya
Published: December 2024

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the psychological resilience levels and secondary trauma levels of mental health professionals who were involved in the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquake on February 6. Additionally, the study investigates whether psychological resilience and secondary trauma levels vary based on demographic factors.
Methods: Psychological resilience has been shown to negatively predict secondary traumatic stress (β=-0.412; t=-5.034; p<0.001). It was found that having experience in similar roles and exposure to short-term traumatic events may increase psychological resilience, while working with trauma victims for extended periods may increase the risk of secondary traumatic stress
Results: The findings revealed that psychological resilience negatively predicted secondary traumatic stress. Moreover, significant differences were found in the levels of psychological resilience and secondary traumatic stress according to various demographic variables. It was found that having prior experience in similar roles and being exposed to short-term traumatic events could enhance psychological resilience, while prolonged work with trauma victims could increase the risk of secondary traumatic stress.
Conclusion: In conclusion, it is recommended to develop training programs and intervention strategies to enhance the psychological resilience of professionals working in disaster and trauma fields, as well as to establish institutional policies and support systems to prevent and manage secondary traumatic stress.

Published: December 2024

Objective: It involves the evaluation of the effects of different biological materials deposited on cartridge cases on the amount of DNA recovered post-firing, considering the influence of time and different types of swabs
Methods: MKE 9x19 mm brass cartridges were contaminated with blood and epithelial cells, fired, and swabbed at different intervals (1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months, 3 months) to assess DNA quantity. The study compared microfiber and cotton swabs, utilizing the phenol chloroform method for DNA extraction and the Quantifiler Trio kit with the 7500 real-time polymerase chain reaction system for quantification.
Results: One of these is an epithelium- contaminated cartridge, while the others are blood-contaminated cartridges. For cotton swabs, the highest degradation rate was obtained in the 4th week for blood contaminated cases, 2nd weeks for epithelial cell-contaminated cases. For microfiber swabs, the highest degradation rate was obtained in the 3rd month for blood contaminated cases, 1st day for epithelial cell-contaminated cases. In a study using cotton and microfiber swabs to collect samples from different biological materials on cartridge cases, no significant difference was found in DNA quantity between the swab types on day 1 and month 3.
Conclusion: The microfiber swab, considered an alternative to the routinely used cotton swab, did not demonstrate superiority. DNA sufficient for successful profiling was obtained even from cartridges swabbed three months after firing. Additionally, blood-contaminated cartridges had significantly higher DNA levels than those contaminated with epithelial cells.

Religión y praxis. Una aproximación a la comprensión del fenómeno religioso desde las categorías de religión infraestructural y supraestructural
Authors: Amaya Susan Cristina
Published: December 2024

La tendencia hacia el fenómeno o experiencia espiritual hace parte de la realidad humana, esta puede ser experimentada a través de la religión, el sentimiento místico, la búsqueda de la trascendencia o la «consideración y observancia solícitas de ciertos factores dinámicos concebidos como “potencias” (espíritus, demonios, dioses, ideas, ideales o cualquiera fuere la designación que el hombre ha dado a dichos factores)» (Jung, 1949, p.8). La existencia de esta expresión particular de la dimensión espiritual humana puede ilustrarse con una de su más importante manifestación, a saber, la religión, la cual, en palabras del filósofo vasco Xavier Zubirí (1993) se constata en cuanto «son unos hechos que existen ahí, en la sociedad» (p.16). En este horizonte, la religión como fenómeno social, como aquello que «existe ahí, en la sociedad», puede encontrarse, ya sea en la forma de las cosmovisiones, la institucionalización o costumbres sociales, entre otros hechos los cuales se pueden corroborar gracias a las ciencias de la religión, «las cuales constituyen un campo específico de investigación y analizan su propio objeto de análisis bajo diferentes perspectivas: diacrónico-histórica, descriptivo-fenomenológica (comparativa), sociológica (antropológica-cultural, sociológica y psicológica de la religión)» (Blázquez, 2011, p.7)

Authors: Setyaning Larashati B'tari , Aziz Umar Abdul , Barkah Laeli Nikmatul
Published: November 2024

Infrastructure plays a vital role in economic development. Apart from having a positive impact, infrastructure development also has negative impacts such as global warming and reduced availability of natural resources. Therefore, a sustainable approach must be applied in construction projects, especially road construction. Considering the lack of awareness regarding implementing sustainable construction, this research aims to analyze the level and differences in stakeholder understanding regarding green roads in the Jogja – Bawen Toll Road construction project (section 1). This research uses a quantitative approach which uses primary data as the main data. Primary data was obtained through filling out questionnaires by respondents consisting of owners, consultants and contractors involved in the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road Project (section 1). Based on data analysis, it can be concluded that the owner and contractor understand all the principles of sustainable construction, while the consultant only understands social and environmental principles.

Published: November 2024

Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies worldwide, often referred to as a "silent killer" due to its asymptomatic nature in the early stages. Proper diagnosis at early stage of Ovarian malignancy using biomarker is extremely important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4) and Cancer Antigen 125 (CA125).
Methods: This descriptive observational study was conducted in Dhaka Medical College Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021. Data were collected using a pre-designed data collection sheet encompassing demographics, clinical examination, and investigation results. After obtaining informed written consent, clinical examinations and ultrasound of the abdomen were conducted, followed by the collection of venous blood samples.
Results: In our study predominant age group was 41-50 years (32.5%). Serum HE4 and CA125 concentrations were significantly higher in the ovarian cancer patients compared with those seen in patients with benign disease or in the healthy controls (p<0.05 in both). In patients with an adnexal mass, the area under the ROC curve was higher when the combination of the markers was used compared with use of CA125 only. Using ROMA, patients could be successfully classified into high- and low-risk group, with 57.7% sensitivity at a specificity of 63.9%.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that measuring serum HE4 concentrations along with CA125 concentrations may provide higher accuracy for detecting early stage of Epithelial ovarian cancer.

Authors: Kader Mousumi , Elora Ashfi Laila , Chowdhury Mina , Afrose Taslima , Amin Rogina , Sultana Jolly Rabeya
Published: November 2024

Background: Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a group of disorders identified by abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic tissue. The general term GTN is used to describe a wide range of trophoblastic diseases including invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, epithelioid trophoblastic tumor, and placental site trophoblastic tumor. The persistence of GTN post-molar pregnancy can be efficiently detected with serial measures of the β subunit of hCG, or β-hCG. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the β-hCG regression after evacuation of molar pregnancy as a predictive factor for malignant GTN.
Methods: This was a prospective analytical study conducted in the Gynaecological Oncology Unit and Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January 2022 to December 2022. In our study, we included 50 patients with molar pregnancies attending the Gynaecological Oncology Unit and Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology of DMCH.
Result: The mean age of participants was 23.5 years. The GTN was diagnosed among 24% of patients. In 2nd week, the mean β-hCG was found 91027.50±24430.53 miU/ml in the persistent GTN group and 19339.68±13978.59 miU/ml in the remission group. The mean Β-hCG significantly decreased to 64399.33±23404.81 and 4.47±2.57miU/ml in the persistent GTN and remission group respectively in the 15th week (p<0.05).                
Conclusion: This study found that serum β-hCG levels in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks following molar evacuation can predict over 24% of patients who developed GTN after molar evacuation. The decline in serum β-hCG levels during weeks was statistically linked to the development of GTN.

Published: November 2024

Background: Postdated pregnancies are associated with a range of risks that contribute to elevated perinatal morbidity and mortality rates. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the perinatal morbidity and mortality associated with postdated pregnancies. The aim of the study was to evaluate the perinatal morbidity and mortality associated with postdated pregnancies.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital (SZMCH), Bogra, from November 18, 2013, to May 17, 2014, and included 50 postdated pregnant women. Informed consent was obtained, and maternal and fetal outcomes were observed for seven days post-delivery. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0, with results presented as mean (±SD) for quantitative data and as frequency and percentage for qualitative data.
Results: This study found a 6.7% incidence of postdated pregnancy at SZMCH, with 84% of patients aged 18-29 years and 52% having regular antenatal checkups. Most (82%) presented at 41 weeks, and 50% underwent caesarean delivery. Newborns had favourable APGAR scores (74% scored 7-10). Maternal morbidity occurred in 16 cases, primarily postpartum hemorrhage (31.3%) and wound infection (25%). Fetal complications were seen in 40%, with birth asphyxia (35%) and macrosomia (20%) being the most common.
Conclusions: This study emphasizes the need for timely interventions and consistent prenatal monitoring to reduce maternal and fetal complications in postdated pregnancies, which accounted for 6.7% of cases at SZMCH.

Authors: Adlakha Eena , Khanijo Vandana , Unni Jyothi , Bapat Anita , Thakar Saket
Published: November 2024

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of maternal ophthalmic artery Doppler parameters, both independently and in combination with uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) and mean arterial pressure (MAP), in forecasting pre-eclampsia (PE) development.
Methods: This prospective observational study involved women at 19-23 weeks' gestation. Maternal demographics, medical history, ultrasound for fetal anatomy and growth, and Doppler measurements of ophthalmic artery flow velocities (PSV1, PSV2, PSV ratio) along with MAP and UtA-PI were assessed.
Results: The incidence of PE was 9.4%. Women with PE were older (35.8 vs. 32.3 years, p<0.01). Seventy-five percent developed early-onset PE. Mean UtA-PI was higher in PE cases (1.91 vs 1.27, p=0.03). UtA-PI showed good predictive value with 83.3% sensitivity and 68.7% specificity (accuracy: 76%). Ophthalmic artery parameters, particularly PSV2 (27.54 vs. 23.46, p<0.01) and PSV ratio (0.8 vs. 0.61, p<0.01), were significantly higher in PE cases. These parameters had sensitivity and specificity of 83.3%/58.3% (PSV2) and 83.3%/61.7% (PSV ratio), respectively. Combined ophthalmic artery Doppler parameters showed strong predictive value (AUC 0.832), with sensitivity 58.3%, specificity 90.4%, and accuracy 87.4%. Adding uterine and ophthalmic artery Doppler parameters increased accuracy to 91.3%. The combination of MAP, UtA-PI, and ophthalmic Doppler showed the highest accuracy (97.6%, AUC 0.969) with sensitivity 91.7% and specificity 98.3%.
Conclusion: Ophthalmic artery PSV ratio is a promising predictor for PE development, warranting further validation in larger studies.
Contraception in perimenopause: a review of fecundity, fertility, and feasibility of contraceptives
Authors: Devalla Anusha
Published: November 2024

Menopausal transition warrants effective contraception despite reduced fecundity and fertility. The associated maternal and perinatal morbidities and mortality in women after 40 years has prompted women to choose safe and reliable contraceptives. Although the majority of women globally opt for sterilization; however, the observed trends in the last decade have seen an increase in the use of Long-acting reversible contraceptives. Combined hormonal contraceptives have been disrepute traditionally but the current literature remarks the use of CHC in selected populations. A literature search was conducted till December 2023 using the PubMed, Embase, SCOPUS databases and recommendations by various organizations using related search terms. This review highlights the various contraceptive options currently dispensed in the armamentarium for women above 40 years. The aim is to focus on the associated co-morbidities that can affect the contraceptive choices in this group and the contraceptive effects on the menopausal symptoms. This would guide the clinicians in prescribing the methods considering the complex requirements.

Authors: Kanathila Hema , Patil Suvidha , Poojary Bharathi , U B Shabari , Upadhya Mithun , Patwardhan Karuna
Published: December 2024

Implants are one of several treatment options available for replacing lost teeth. Providing a viable option for patients who are partially or fully edentulous, dental implants have significantly changed oral rehabilitation. Dental implants are available in different materials with different types of treatments.Even though implant-supported prostheses have been shown to have high success rates, a small percentage still fail. Advancements in dental technology have revolutionized the way dental implants are designed and implemented. Porous Tantalum Trabecular Metal (PTTM) has been utilised in dental implants. Trabecular implant is a type of dental implant which has porous surface and similarity closer towards the bone microstructures, which allows for ingrowth and overgrowth of bone allowing for a better osseointegration.The excellent frictional characteristics of the porous tantalum material could improve implant stability against the surrounding bone. This article explores the features, benefits and applications of trabecular implants highlighting their potential to transform the future implant dentistry.
Is Tamil consonant “G\" A misleading factor? - A pilot study
Authors: Maran Keerthi Priya , Karuppiah Prabhu
Published: December 2024

The article emphasizes the importance of acknowledging linguistic diversity in palatographic evaluations within clinical settings. It highlights the distinct phonetic variations of the "G" consonant in the Tamil language compared to English, demonstrating the necessity for customized assessment tools and phonetic indexes to accurately evaluate and accommodate these differences.

To examine the influence of Tamil phonetics on the fabrication of complete dentures and to use palatogram as a method for evaluating the phonetic impact on complete denture fabrication in Tamil-speaking patients.

The study involved ten completely edentulous denture wearers. These dentures were fabricated and assessed for phonetic influences using specific Tamil phonetic sounds: SH, N, CH, K, and G. The primary focus of this article is on the phonetic sound "G," evaluated using the word "Jeevan." The phonetic evaluation was conducted through the palatogram method.

The study demonstrated that the palatograms from all edentulous patients showed significant variations in their palatographic patterns. These patterns tended to be more palatolingual differing from the velar palatographic pattern observed with the English consonant "G."

The study emphasizes that relying exclusively on English norms may not adequately capture the intricacies present in other languages. Therefore, the development of specific palatographic indices for each language is essential for precise evaluations and meeting the requirements of diverse patient populations. This approach aligns with healthcare principles of linguistic and cultural competence, ultimately enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment effectiveness.

: A recently introduced scan body enables digital scan of implant, giving its perfect position .However, information on the effect of different scan pattern on scan accuracy of digital implant, scan of angulated and parallel implant is lacking.

The purpose of this In -Vitro study was to evaluate effect of different scan pattern on scan accuracy of digital implant scan of angulated and parallel implant to adjacent tooth.

Two models were generated secured with lab analog ,one parallel to adjacent tooth and one angulated (between 15 to 18degree) to the adjacent teeth at right second molar region in dentate mandibular model .The master reference model was generated by scanning the model with lab scanner.The models were then scanned with 4 different scan pattern(SP-A,SP-B,SP-C,SP-D) by using intra oral scanner ( Densply Sirona cerec Omnican). STL file was generated for both (control and study group) and by using Autodesk mesh mixer software measurements were made for accuracy.

Results were analyzed using One way anova test. No statistical significant difference found between scan patterns in both parallel and angled implant but there was different in the mean deviation in both the models among different scan pattern. In both the models, scan pattern A was found more accurate compared to other scan patterns.

The scan pattern influenced by accuracy of intra oral scanner in different ways. n terms of both trueness and precision SP-A is found most accurate and SP-D least has least accuracy. Hence full arch scanning will give more accurate results rather than sectional scanning.

Published: November 2024

A Laserterapia de baixa intensidade vem se destacando como uma ferramenta de grande valia, tendo como benefícios modular os processos inflamatórios e reparo de lesões cutâneas.  Logo o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a prática do enfermeiro no manuseio da Laserterapia para tratamento da lesão por pressão. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter descritivo, exploratória, com abordagem quantitativa, que buscará descrever a prática de enfermeiros no manejo da Laserterapia para tratamento de Lesão por pressão que atuam em Várzea Grande, Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, DF e Goiás (região Centro Oeste). O estudo foi realizado com 19 enfermeiros especialistas que trabalham com a Laserterapia no tratamento de lesões por pressão na região. As variáveis permitem concluir o perfil do enfermeiro que atua com a laserterapia na região Centro Oeste para tratamento de LPP: são prevalentemente mulheres com menos de 40 anos, formadas há mais de 7 anos, atuantes em torno de 2 a 4 anos e capacitadas por meio de cursos.  No que se refere a utilização das ferramentas de gestão, 14 (29%) utilizam a ficha de atendimento prioritariamente, 12 (25%) o protocolo e 10 (20%) o processo e enfermagem. No tratamento das LPP em estágio 1, 16 dos enfermeiros (84,2%) disseram obter cicatrização total. As lesões de maior complexidade como as de estagio 3 e 4, necessitam de maiores frequências, revelado a utilização de mais de 10 sessões pelos 14 profissionais (73,7%) no tratamento de lesão em estágio 3; e por 17 dos enfermeiros (89,5%) a aplicação mais de 10 sessões de laserterapia para lesões em estágio 4. A partir de pesquisa sobre o tratamento de lesões, constatou-se que houve uma evolução significativa, onde o enfermeiro obtém resultados positivos no tratamento principalmente na cicatrização total da LPP. A Laserterapia exigiu do enfermeiro mais qualificação para atuar nesta área, e tem apresentado efetividade e eficiência sob o seu olhar criterioso. As dificuldades encontradas foram relativas à condição do paciente e característica da própria lesão, estado nutricional, condições de acamamento e pressão, comorbidades e doenças crônicas que dificultam os resultados da terapia e que por sua vez exige maior tempo, esforço do enfermeiro para o manejo e tratamento além do gasto dispensado pelo paciente.

O objetivo foi caracterizar o perfil dos estudantes de uma faculdade de medicina do interior de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foi realizado um estudo transversal, descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa, com aplicação de um questionário de autopreenchimento, constituído por variáveis sociodemográficas, epidemiológicas e quanto às condições de saúde. Quanto às variáveis de representação espacial foi utilizada a complementação dos dados abertos da malha digital do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. Os 216 (59,02%) participantes tinham idade entre 19 e 40 anos (Me=23,89). A amostra predominante foi do sexo feminino (54,63%), raça/cor branca (53,24%), solteiros (96,76%), sem filhos (97,22%), com a formação do ensino médio em escola pública (49,54%), entrada na universidade através do Sistema de Seleção Unificada (73,15%) e sem uso de cotas (45,63%). Em relação aos hábitos, 143 (67,45%) estudantes declararam realizar algum tipo de atividade física três vezes por semana ou mais. Quanto à qualidade de vida, esta foi categorizada como “boa” com 123 (56,94%) respostas. Em relação à condição de saúde, 64 (29,63%) estudantes responderam que possuíam alguma doença, síndrome, transtorno ou distúrbio. Entre estes, 22 (34,37%) apresentaram dois ou mais diagnósticos, com o predomínio do relato de 26 (40,62%) estudantes com transtornos mentais e comportamentais. O estudo mostrou-se relevante diante a identificação de transtornos mentais dentro do contexto universitário, pois demonstrou a dissociação entre o que é ensinado e o que é praticado, além de indicar uma necessidade maior de intervenções psicopedagógicas e medidas mais enérgicas de promoção à saúde dentro das Universidades.

Research Result Differences Between Manual Research and Using AI LLMs for Analyzing Popular 3D File Formats
Authors: Kozov Vasil , Ivanov Aleksandar , Ivanova Galina
Published: December 2024

A literature review has been conducted, helping outline some of the main peculiarities that exists within the 3D object file format domain. The difficulties that are present when working with different file formats in various fields have been noted – incompatibility issues, data loss, conversion difficulties, software wrappers, manufacturing industry standards and more. The problem of file format comparison has been defined – workflows are bogged down by the different output software tools use, expertise in different fields is a requirement, difficulties with conversion, complexity of file formats themselves and proprietary solutions, all lead to tremendous amount of manual work and technical knowledge required to keep track of differences between 3D file formats. As web sources for file format information can often become unreliable with time, new sources become available and analysis are constantly made, an argument has been made to try and use LLMs to alleviate some or most of the workload in file comparison. Such research necessitates a researcher to manually check all the output data of a model, in order to verify the correctness and accuracy of the used model. A methodology for the research process has been developed and implemented. Its main points include the definition of criteria for comparison, using manufacturing industry expert opinion to further verify the validity of the researcher and LLMs statements and the criteria itself, creation of comparison tables based on the criteria for all the chosen formats, short descriptions of the file formats themselves by the researcher and by the LLM and their comparison, as well as an analysis of file formats searchability on google trends. A comparison of binary data for some file formats is shown and described for further understanding of the issues with metadata and understanding proprietary 3D file formats. ISO standards for STEP ISO 10303-242:2022 and IGES, as well as their effects on the industry are briefly discussed. File formats that are discussed and compared: OBJ (Waveform obj, .obj); FBX (Filmbox, .fbx); glTF (GL Transmission Format, .glTF, .glb); USD/USDZ (Universal Scene Descriptor, .usd, .usdz); BLEND (Blender file format, .blend); AMF (Additive Manufacturing, .amf); STL (Stereolithography, .stl); 3DS (3D Studio Scene, .3ds); IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification, .igs, .iges); STEP (Standard for the Exchange for Product Data, .stp, .step); DAE, Collada (Digital Asset Exchange File, .dae).

Published: December 2024

Among plenty of the brain oscillation electrical patterns, the spindle oscillations in the alpharhythm band has main functional significance, in particular in emotional, memory, motivation and attention processes. At the same time, signal processing techniques well developed in radio engineering are not used in electroencephalogram (EEG) processing. For the first time the beating method was applied to electroencephalograms. It is shown that the beating method allows the determination of α−rhythm frequencies, which are not always resoluted using Furrier transform. EEG is non-stationary process that’s why instantaneous frequency is a very important characteristics of EEG. The calculation of instantaneous frequency values was carried out based on the Hilbert transform and intersection detector method. A comparative analysis of electroencephalograms frequency content obtained by Furrier transform, Hilbert transform and Zero-level intersection detector method was carried out.
On operators whose core–EP inverse is n-potent
Authors: Mosić Dijana , Zhang Daochang , Hu Jianping
Published: December 2024

The main contribution of this paper is to establish a number of equivalent conditions for the core–EP inverse of an operator, to be n-potent. We prove that the core–EP inverse of an operator is n-potent if and only if the Drazin inverse of the same operator is n-potent. Thus, we present new characterizations for n-potency of the Drazin inverse. Consequently, we get many characterizations for the core–EP inverse (and Drazin inverse) to be an idempotent. We observe that the core–EP inverse of an operator is idempotent if and only it is the orthogonal projector. Furthermore, we show that the n-potency of an operator implies n-potency of its core–EP inverse and develop the condition for the converse to hold. Applying these results, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the n-potency and idempotency of the core inverse. Notice that the core inverse of an operator is n-potent (or idempotent) if and only if the given operator is n-potent (idempotent).
Some properties of r-supplemented modules
Authors: Nebiyev Celil , Sökmez Nurhan
Published: December 2024

In this work, r-supplemented modules are defined and some properties of these modules are investigated. It is proved that every factor module and every homomorphic image of an r-supplemented module are r-supplemented. Let M be an R-module and M = M1 + M2 + ⋯ + Mn. If Mi is r-supplemented for each i = 1,2,…,n, then M is also r-supplemented. Let M be an r-supplemented module. Then every finitely M−generated R-module is r-supplemented.

Published: December 2024

Schauder’s fixed point theorem and Banach contraction principle are used to study a q-difference equation. We give sufficient conditions for the existence, uniqueness, and stability of the nondecreasing bounded continuous solutions. We also give the approximate sequences for the corresponding solutions. Finally, some examples are considered for our results.

Unit group of integral group ring ℤ(G × C3)
Authors: Küsmüş Ömer
Published: December 2024

Presenting an explicit descryption of unit group in the integral group ring of a given non-abelian group is a classical and open problem. Let S3 be a symmetric group of order 6 and C3 be a cyclic group of order 3. In this study, we firstly explore the commensurability in unit group of integral group ring ℤ(S3 × C3) by showing the existence of a subgroup as (F55 ⋊ F3) ⋊ (S3∗× C2) where Fρ denotes a free group of rank ρ. Later, we introduce an explicit structure of the unit group in ℤ(S3 × C3) in terms of semi-direct product of torsion-free normal complement of S3 and the group of units in RS3 where R = ℤ[ω] is the complex integral domain since ω is the primitive 3rd root of unity. At the end, we give a general method that determines the structure of the unit group of ℤ(G × C3) for an arbitrary group G depends on torsion-free normal complement V (G) of G in U(ℤ(G × C3)) in an implicit form. As a consequence, a conjecture which is found in [21] is solved.
Assessing the Effectiveness of Chemical Exposure Management Practices in Sierra Leone’s Mining Sector: A Case Study of Sierra Rutile Mines
Authors: Dumbuya Ibrahim , Fofanah Mohamed Syed , Tiah Bockarie
Published: November 2024

This study assessed the effectiveness of chemical exposure management practices in Sierra Leone's mining sector, focusing on the Sierra Rutile Mining Company. Utilizing a case study research design with both quantitative and qualitative methods, the research involved 70 workers from various departments, including the Mineral Separation Plant, Water Treatment Plant, Central Workshop, Laboratory, and Safety Department. Data were collected through semi-structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS and Excel.
The findings indicate that workers' awareness of chemical exposure risks is adequate but the implementation of the strategies to mitigate the chemical exposure risk, such as effective monitoring, supervision, continuous training and strict adherence to regulatory frameworks are inadequate and inefficient. The study also reveals a shortage of specialized chemical safety personnel and poor adherence to safety regulations by management. These conditions have contributed to severe health outcomes such as respiratory and dermal diseases, eye defects, heart issues, lung damage, kidney problems, skin rashes, and mental health issues.
The research concludes that chemical exposure significantly impacts workers’ health, and current management practices are insufficient. Recommendations include enhancing employee training on chemical safety, providing timely safety information, enforcing strict safety leadership, and improving regulatory compliance. Additionally, the study advises the government to prioritize research to support policy development. Future research should focus on health risk assessments, chemical toxicity, and the economic impact of chemical hazards.
Polish road type-specific trend models for predicting the frequency of traffic accidents
Authors: Gorzelanczyk Piotr
Published: November 2024

 Every year many people are fatally injured or killed on the roads. The number is still quite high, even if it is decreasing from year to year. Although there are fewer accidents on the roads since the epidemic, the number is still relatively high. To minimize the number of road accidents, it is important to understand which types of roads have the highest number of collisions and what the accident forecasts are for the coming years. The purpose of this article is to forecast the number of accidents on Polish roads according to their type. The study consisted of two parts. The first included a forecast of the number of road accidents for 2022–2031, based on an analysis of annual data from police statistics on the number of road accidents in Poland in 2000–2021. The second part of the study focused on monthly data from 2000–2021. In this case, a forecast was also set for the period from January 2022 to December 2023. The results of the study indicate that even after analyzing annual statistics, the number of incidents can be expected to stabilize in the coming years. This is mainly due to the expansion of expressways, especially highways, and the increase in traffic volume on Polish roads. It should be noted that the current epidemic is distorting the results.
