Review of Risk Factors and Intervention of Myopia in Children and Adolescents
Authors: Yang Shuangbei , Xie Xueni , Zhang Jinjiao , Huang Ying
Published: July 2021

When the adjustment function of the eye is still, the external parallel light can not form a clear image on the retina after passing through the refractive effect of the eye, and the phenomenon of imaging in front or behind the retina is called ametropia. Common refractive errors include: Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, and myopia is the most common ametropia in children and adolescents. Myopia refers to the refractive state in which the external parallel light (distance greater than 5 meters) enters the eye and focuses on the retina after passing through the ocular refractive system when the eye is in the state of adjustment and rest. In general, myopia can be diagnosed when se is less than - 0.5d, and it can be divided into light, medium and high myopia according to the degree of myopia. Among them, mild myopia is 0d <=diopter <- 3D, moderate myopia is - 3D <= diopter < - 6D, high myopia is diopter >= - 6D. Nowadays, the myopia rate of children and adolescents is high in many countries, and it has become a global public health problem. Myopia not only affects the study and life of children and adolescents, but also causes a variety of serious ophthalmic complications (such as cataract, glaucoma, myopic macular degeneration and retinal detachment) with the growth of age. Studies have shown that as early as 2015, the global economic loss caused by uncorrected myopia was about 240 billion US dollars, of which the potential loss in East Asia, mainly China, was the largest. It is important to understand the prevalence, causes and intervention measures of myopia. Therefore, this paper summarizes the current situation of the research on the prevalence trend, influencing factors and intervention measures of myopia in children and adolescents.
Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome from the Theory of "Yigui Homology"
Authors: Zhao Xin , Chen Mei , Li Nan
Published: July 2021

Traditional medicine believes that emotional, room labor and other factors lead to the lack of blood circulation after the weather, and the consumption of Yin blood is too much, which can lead to the deficiency of blood essence. Over time, the deficiency of menstrual blood can not nourish the kidney essence, leading to abnormal pregnancy. The liver is congenital for women, and the kidney is congenital. The disharmony of liver and kidney is the key factor of women's disease. Starting from the "homology of Yi and GUI", this paper analyzes the main etiology and pathogenesis of the disease from three aspects: deficiency of blood essence, imbalance of Zang and Xie, and Yin not controlling Yang. Following the principle of simultaneous treatment of liver and kidney, starting from the three methods of "regulating and tonifying liver and kidney, tonifying kidney and activating blood circulation, and balancing yin and Yang", the liver and kidney are reconciled, and pregnancy is sometimes the best choice. The main purpose is to benefit PCOS patients.

Formation of productivity of naked oat varieties under different cultivation conditions
Authors: Isachkova O. A. , Loginova A. O. , Egushova E. A.
Published: July 2021

The results of studying naked oat yield indicators depending on different sowing dates and seeding rates are presented. The study was carried out in 2016-2020 in a field experiment in Western Siberia. Samples of different groups of the crop ripeness were studied: mid-early variety Gavrosh and mid-ripening variety Ofenya. The duration of the growing season of naked oats was influenced by meteorological factors. There was a tendency observed for a decrease in the duration of interphase periods and the growing season as a whole from an early sowing date to a later one by 4-10 days for the Gavrosh variety and by 8-10 days for the Ofenya variety. The yield of the Gavrosh variety at an early sowing period significantly exceeded the same indicator at a mid-period by 17.6% and at a late period - by 19.0%, of the Ofenya variety - by 10.9% and 16.2%, respectively. The increase in the yield for the early sowing period of the mid-early variety Gavrosh relative to the middle and late sowing dates was determined by a larger grain size (r = 0.6929 ... 0.9535 at R = 0.5140). For the midripening variety Ofenya, the number of productive stems per unit area (r = 0.7444 ... 0.9054 with R = 0.5140) and the weight of 1000 grains (r = 0.5350 ... 0.8297 at R = 0.5140) were of more importance in the years of research on all variants. The most optimal seeding rate for naked oat varieties is 5.0-6.0 million germinating grains/ha. At this rate, it was not the maximum manifestation of individual indicators of the yield structural elements, but a combination of their average values was noted.

People, robots, artificial intelligence: regulatory challenges
Authors: Gayvoronskaya Yana
Published: July 2021

The problem of regulating the processes of development, creation and use of robots and artificial intelligence (AI) units is acute for all states engaged in the digital transformation of public relations. The article addresses two aspects of the problem: first, the choice of optimal regulatory means corresponding to the present stage of technological development;second, the dependence of legal regimes on the concept and definition of robots and units of artificial intelligence. Qualitative legal regulation is always inextricably linked to precise definitions and the definition of the subject matter of legal regulation. The article examines different approaches to defining robots and artificial intelligence, as well as articulating an author’s view of the choice of legal regimes for different types of AI and robots. The importance of and the need for ethical regulation of robotics and AI are shown in relation to the choice of regulatory instruments. Deontological regulation is considered by the authors to be the most promising and acceptable for the modern level of technology development. At the same time, it has been proved that, in modern conditions, ethical regulation in the field of AI and autonomous robotic apparatus plays the role of self-regulation and assumes the functions of various means of self-regulation.

An Actor-Network Perspective on Collections Documentation and Data Practices at Museums
Authors: Park Juhee
Published: July 2021

The improvement of digital technology over recent decades has advanced the ability of museums to manage records of their collections and share them online. However, despite the rise of research in the area of digital heritage, less attention has been given to a sociotechnical perspective on such technology. Drawing upon concepts from Actor-Network Theory, this paper presents actors associated with the V&A’s collections management system and its online catalogue. Digital design objects, the museum’s new type of collection, are seen as a driving force for change in collections documentation practices. This paper argues for models of documentation to change from closed to open and participatory in order to (re)present such objects’ materiality in collection records through the voices of multiple actors. This paper, highlighting the agency of data and technology, increases our awareness of the potential consequences of museums’ data practices where the integration of advanced technology (e.g., AI) will be implemented in the future.
Building Shared Guardianship through Blockchain Technology and Digital Museum Objects
Authors: Liddell Frances
Published: July 2021

This article considers the notion of shared guardianship in the context of digital museum objects and blockchain technology, arguing that this technology can contribute to the production of value in digital museum objects that goes beyond the monetary. Shared guardianship is understood to be a process of prioritizing the experience of others and forming a diverse set of stakeholders that transforms understandings around ownership; meanwhile, a blockchain is a type of distributed ledger technology which can be used to identify digital files and so make them feel ownable and authentic. As such, this paper argues that blockchain technology could create a new layer of materiality and value in digital museum objects which could support the formation of shared guardianship. This question will be analysed in relation to the theoretical underpinnings of digital materiality and a case study project at the National Museums Liverpool, UK, which investigated how to implement blockchain technology in the museum context in order to produce collective ownership and meaningful, connected digital objects.

Authors: Sanyaolu Alani Ameye  , Mike Okuwe Ikoko  , Michael Olusesan Awoleye  , Josephine Adetinuola Eziyi
Published: July 2021

Background: We examined the performance of different Machine Learning Algorithms while also comparing two methods of voice assessment to look at the workability of automating triage of patient that will need prompt office laryngoscopy. Methods: We recruited consecutive adult subjects excluding those with a history of being regular singers or choristers in the past one year and those with the previous history of laryngeal trauma. We then carried out the perceptual voice assessments on the GRBAS Scale and also obtained the basic acoustic parameters of the voice samples. Laryngeal examinations with 70-degree Hopkins’ Rod were then carried out by another examiner for all the participants to identify gross laryngeal changes or lesions. We then evaluated each machine learning algorithm comparing the perceptual and acoustic parameters in determining how well each algorithm predicts the presence of those categorized with having lesion or not by the laryngeal examination. Results: One hundred and twenty respondents were analyzed out of which 89(74.2%) were females. The mean age was 46.5 ± 9.2 years. The perceptual evaluation generally outperformed the acoustic evaluation. Also, the Naïve Bayes Classifier (NBC) outperformed other algorithms with a F1 score of 0.55 followed by Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with the score of 0.53. However, the ANN outperformed the other with regards to the Area-under-the-curve (AUC). Conclusion: When these metrics are taken together, the ANN still remains the best algorithm for this dataset. We are however cognisance of the needed improvement to the various aspects of this work including a larger dataset more scientific sampling.

Com a intenção de sensibilizar e conscientizar os estudantes de uma escola da rede pública acerca da importância dos processos de comunicação em suas mais variadas formas e a respeito das dificuldades enfrentadas pela comunidade surda para a comunicação com a comunidade falante, foi possibilitado o contato e uso da ferramenta assistiva Hand Talk, que permitiu que os estudantes tivessem contato com a Língua Brasileira de Sinais – LIBRAS - e refletissem acerca do seu uso cotidiano, além de possibilitar o contato real dos participantes desse projeto com situações sociais de comunicação por meio da LIBRAS. Por meio do desenvolvimento do projeto, pode-se constatar que, após o contato inicial com essa forma de comunicação, possibilitado pelo uso de uma tecnologia assistiva, estudantes e responsáveis demonstraram uma maior compreensão das dinâmicas comunicativas da comunidade surda e tornaram-se empáticos e conscientes não apenas da necessidade de inclusão social dos surdos, mas também da necessidade dos indivíduos ouvintes serem capacitados para as mais diversas situações de comunicação social entre surdos e ouvintes.

The analysis of fretting fatigue in forced-in joint with the induction-hardened shaft
Authors: Kowalski Sławomir
Published: July 2021

Subject to the analysis was a tribological kinematic pair consisting of shaft and sleeve, both made of C45 steel. The elements were joined by pressing with the 0.02 mm tolerance. The shaft was subjected to the finishing and strengthening treatment consisting in induction hardening. The tribological kinematic pair made in such way was tested on a fatigue testing machine, which permitted obtaining a rotational bending moment.
Macroscopic investigations of the unhardened shaft demonstrated, on the shaft surface, the traces of fretting wear in the form of a ring of the uniform width comprising the entire axle seat circumference.
Based on the test results, it may be concluded that the use of the shaft induction hardening process has caused the reduction of fretting wear development compared to shafts without additional treatment. In this case, Wear traces in the form of small diameter ring comprising the entire shaft circumference are observed on one side of the shaft axle seat.

THE PURPOSE. In controlled AC drives used on continuous-action mechanisms, which include conveyors, conveyors, cranes, the most widespread are asynchronous motors with a phase rotor, controlled mainly along the rotor circuit using various regulators with low energy efficiency. To improve the energy efficiency of an electric drive based on ADFR, it is proposed to develop a control system that combines the principles of frequency control of the motor along the stator circuit and powering the rotor circuit with constant voltage, which allows the electric drive to be considered synchronized. METHODS. The presence of a DC link in the frequency converter makes it possible in principle to connect the rotor winding in series to this link. However, in order to ensure the frequency principle of regulating the output characteristics of the electric drive, it will be necessary to regulate the rectified current at the input of the inverter and, accordingly, in the rotor windings, which will require a significant change in the standard control system of the frequency converter. The use of an additional adjustable switch in the DC link is proposed. RESULTS. The study of the proposed non-standard control system for a frequency asynchronous synchronized electric drive was carried out by the method of simulation modeling in the Matlab Simulink software package. CONCLUSION. A control system for a frequency asynchronous synchronized electric drive has been developed and investigated on a computer model. A correction system is proposed that allows maintaining a constant value of the load angle in the starting mode. The scalar system of relay frequency control of the electric drive is supplemented with vector correction of the variables, which makes it possible to continuously provide the necessary mutual orientation of the stator current vectors and the rotor flux linkage.

Objective The primary aim was to evaluate the influence of depressive and anxiety symptoms on the 1-year recurrence rate of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. The secondary aim was to examine the risk factors leading to psychological distress.Methods A total of 104 NMIBC patients were enrolled for interviews, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire survey was administered 1 month after their operation. Their cystoscopy results were followed up. The risk factors affecting their 1-year recurrence rate were evaluated through univariate analysis, Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analysis. The risk factors causing depressive and anxiety symptoms were evaluated through univariate analysis and logistic regression.Results In addition to American Urological Association risk stratification, depressive symptoms were another independent risk factor for recurrence in NMIBC patients (HR: 2.493, 95% CI: 1.048–5.930, p=0.039), and the increase in the recurrence rate was highly significant in intermediate-risk patients (HR: 8.496, 95% CI: 2.178–33.138, p=0.019). Anxiety symptoms were not an independent risk factor for recurrence (HR: 1.655, 95% CI: 0.714–3.837, p=0.240). We also observed that the burden of medical expenses of NMIBC on the family was an independent risk factor for depressive symptoms (p=0.029) and anxiety symptoms (p=0.048); chronic pain was an independent risk factor for anxiety symptoms (OR: 3.447, 95% CI: 1.182–10.052, p=0.023).Conclusion Depression symptoms are an independent risk factor for recurrence in NMIBC patients. Moreover, the burden of medical expenses on the family is an independent risk factor for depressive and anxiety symptoms in NMIBC patients. Additionally, chronic pain is a risk factor for anxiety symptoms in NMIBC patients. This study provided a theoretical foundation for clinical oncologists to pay more attention to the mental health of NMIBC patients.
