Published: April 2023

У статті проаналізовано особливості підготовки сучасних здобувачів вищої медичної освіти, яким властива висока прихильність до інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій та виражена потреба налаштовувати своє середовище, зокрема й освітнє. Зазначене вплинуло на світову тенденцію до впровадження елементів ігрового дизайну в освітній процес, тобто його гейміфікацію. Цей дидактичний прийом є доцільним у ситуаціях, що потребують інтерактивного конструювання знань та формування навичок. Серед ефектів гейміфікації виокремлюють мотиваційно-афективні, поведінкові та когнітивні. Очікується, що виражений мотиваційний вплив ефектів гейміфікації забезпечить довготривале (7-10 років) підтримання високого рівня проактивності здобувачів вищої медичної освіти.Феномен гейміфікації було розглянуто через призму фреймворку MDA, який виокремлює такі складові, як ігрова естетика, механіка та динаміка. Ігрова естетика визначає рівень захопливості, привабливості навчальної платформи та залежить від педагогічних цілей. Ігрова механіка через різні дії користувача та механізми їх контролю забезпечує набуття знань та формування навичок. Найпопулярнішими ігровими механіками в медичній освіті є конкуренція, виклик і виграш. Ігрова динаміка впливає на формування автентичного досвіду користувача та формуванням навичок.У статті розкрито базові принципи гейміфікації освітнього процесу та можливості їх реалізації за допомогою різних ігрових елементів. Поширеними елементами гейміфікації в медичній освіті є скоринг (бали / очки) та змагання, за ними йдуть – нагороди, підказки і час. Гейміфіковані навчальні платформи в медицині представлено системами реагування аудиторії, електронними іграми, додатками та симуляціями віртуальної реальності. На клінічному етапі підготовки переважають серйозні ігри та ігри-симуляції.

The article is devoted to the issue of continuity of vocational education in the conditions of European integration and digitalization. The purpose of research is analysis of strategic documents and accumulated better practices of the EU countries for identifying the main directions of development of the continuous education in Ukraine in the conditions of European integration and digitalization. Based on the analysis of the strategic documents of the European Union, it has been found that high-quality educational content (in terms of content and form of execution) with the possibility of interactive participation and mentoring is in demand today. Distance education has significant advantages for the implementation of continuous education that is oriented to an unlimited number of students with the possibility of obtaining knowledge at a convenient time, the possibility of choosing a convenient (optimal) learning pace. That variant of obtaining education is available for people of different training levels, age, social position and health. It has been summed up that the distance format is largely consistent with the principles of the concept of continuous education, and meet the dynamically changing needs of a modern person in applied knowledge. The general specific of the examined formats is strengthening the components of the informal nature of education, individualization (customization) of educational practices and orientation to the subjective needs of the personality. It has been determined that the key direction of development of the educational environment in the conditions of European integration and digitalization are distance education; gamification of education and using cloud technologies; implementation of augmented reality solutions and visualization technologies; development of social networks in education; development of mass opened online courses. It has been generalized that the following measures will facilitate the continuity of vocational education in the conditions of European integration and digitalization: educational trips, exchange of delegations; education in the format of "summer" and "winter" schools with "deep immersion", organization and conduction of author’s master classes, use of project technologies and techniques of game technology; increasing the share of distance learning to 50% of the total number of courses, using interactive forms (webinars, quizzes, virtual traineeships, etc.) with the involvement of representatives of educational organizations of the European Union.

Use of Open, Spatial and Satellite Data for the Purpose of Researching Landfills for Municipal
Authors: Dancheva Adlin , Spasova Temenuzhka
Published: April 2023

The present work traces the development of an illegal landfill near the town of Svoge in Bulgaria. After 2016, a waste management plan is prepared on the territory of the municipality and a decision is made to dispose of it by depositing it in a regional landfill for municipal waste in the town of Kostinbrod. The aim of the study is to trace the development of biochemical processes that took place on the territory of the former landfill and whether their impact continues to this day. Data from the Open Data Portal (https://data.egov.bg/), the National Spatial Data Portal INSPIRE (https://inspire.egov.bg/bg), satellite data and GIS, several spectral profiles and indices such as Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), Tasseled Cap Transformation (TCT) were used.
Composite images from the multispectral instrument (MSI) of the Sentinel 2 platform and radar (SAR) from the Sentinel 1 platform of the Copernicus program of the European Space Agency were used. The surface temperature of the landfill was calculated using the heat channels from the Landsat 5-7 (ETM) and Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 (OLI / TIRS) sensors. A combination of radar and optical data was made. Data from different seasons and years were used in order to monitor the dynamics of thermal pollution in the study area. Quantitative and qualitative assessment of the territory on which the landfill is located has been made. Last but not least, the role of high-value open data in environmental monitoring has been demonstrated, which will reduce the administrative burden of making responsible decisions for each smaller municipality and will be successfully implemented in future methodologies for improving Digital twins through technical work in Destination Earth (DestinE) and information about any point, area or globally significant territories.
Three-Dimensional Modelling of A Bridge by Integrating Terrestrial and Aerial Photogrammetry Applying an Adapted Capture Method
Authors: Gospodinova Veselina , Todorov Todor
Published: April 2023

Three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetric modelling is a contemporary remote sensing method for generating digital models with their specific appearance and texture, which are used in various areas of life. The modelling of complex geometry objects, such as masonry bridges, is not an easy task, because of their specific features (the presence of arches and various niches). This determines the choice of an adapted capture method according to the individual characteristics of the object. The paper presents research aimed at generating a highly accurate three-dimensional model of a bridge, by combining terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry. A low-cost unmanned aerial system (UAS) was used for capturing the upper side of the bridge. This significantly optimised capture time. But its capabilities do not allow to capture the bridge arches from the bottom upwards, nor to obtain an accurate model of the bridge railing. Because of this, a terrestrial survey was made with a digital camera, thus complementing the information required to generate a comprehensive model of the bridge. The integration of aerial and terrestrial capturing using low-cost cameras and systems, along with the application of modern algorithms for processing, allow to create precise, accurate, and detailed digital models. It is all very important for future conservation, restoration, adaptation, and socialisation of such type of objects which are monuments of culture.

Post-Fire Recovery Monitoring Using Remote Sensing: A Review
Authors: Stankova Nataliya
Published: April 2023

Wildfires are a common disturbance factor, while climate change is thought to be one of the main causes of the fires. The detection of disturbance and post-fire recovery monitoring are vital for ecological research. This article aims to provide a review of current research of post-fire recovery monitoring based on remotely sensed data. While a close relationship between vegetation indices (Vis) and physiological parameters of vegetation has been established, VIs have become the main tool for assessing and monitoring vegetation status. Research on the effects and recovery from fires has been conducted by a number of authors, with VIs being used mainly in the methodologies. Tasseled Cap Transformation (TCT) method is also used to assess the state of the ecosystem before and after a fire. When viewed in series, Disturbance Index (DI) images provide an immediate way to recognize the pixels of the forests affected by the fire, different from those characteristic of the normal state of forests. The incorporation of various remote sensing data with field data is able to support the monitoring of post-fire effects and forest recovery.

Fungal metabarcoding of substrates such as soil, wood, and water is uncovering an unprecedented number of fungal species that do not seem to produce tangible morphological structures and that defy our best attempts at cultivation, thus falling outside the scope of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. The present study uses the new, ninth release of the species hypotheses of the UNITE database to show that species discovery through environmental sequencing vastly outpaces traditional, Sanger sequencing-based efforts in a strongly increasing trend over the last five years. Our findings challenge the present stance of some in the mycological community – that the current situation is satisfactory and that no change is needed to “the code” – and suggest that we should be discussing not whether to allow DNA-based descriptions (typifications) of species and by extension higher ranks of fungi, but what the precise requirements for such DNA-based typifications should be. We submit a tentative list of such criteria for further discussion. The present authors hope for a revitalized and deepened discussion on DNA-based typification, because to us it seems harmful and counter-productive to intentionally deny the overwhelming majority of extant fungi a formal standing under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants.

Published: April 2023

Background/Aims: Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is the second leading cause of liver-related mortality and is more prevalent in the elderly population in Korea. Decisions to initiate treatment and selection of proper antiviral agents may be challenging among elderly patients due to relevant comorbidities, comedications, and drug-drug interaction (DDI). It may be helpful to understand the current demographic status and comorbidities of CHC patients in the country.Methods: Patients aged ≥ 18 years and diagnosed with CHC (KCD-7 code B18.2) were extracted from the Korean Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service database in 2018. Data on comorbidities and comedications were assessed and potential DDIs were analyzed.Results: A total of 50,476 patients with CHC, with a mean age of 60.3 years and 46.7% male patients were identified. The proportion of patients with cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver transplantation was 6.0%, 4.1%, and 0.3%, respectively and 37.2% of patients were more than 65 years of age. The three most common comorbidities were diseases of the digestive system (83.7%), respiratory system (58.2%), and musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (57.6%). The three most common comedications were analgesics (91.6%), gastrointestinal agents (85%), and antibacterials (80.3%). Lipid-lowering agents and anticonvulsants were prescribed in 28.5% and 14.8% of patients. Rate of potential DDI for contraindication was 2.2%, 13.1%, and 15.6% with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir, and glecaprevir/pibrentasvir.Conclusions: With the increasing age of patients with CHC, comorbidity, comedication, and potential DDI should be considered when choosing antivirals in Korea. Sofosbuvir-based regimens showed favorable DDI profiles among Korean patients.

Authors: Zhang Ping , Sun Juntao
Published: April 2023

Heterogeneous networks are complex directed graphs that incorporate multiple types of vertices and edges, enabling the representation of diverse structural and semantic information, and facilitating the abstraction of real-world phenomena. In the context of modern-day societal demands and pressures, individuals seek emotional solace and physical well-being. Notably, China has witnessed a surge in winter sports tourism, with outdoor activities such as skiing gaining increased attention. However, research in this field is sporadic and lacks a comprehensive analysis of the distinctive features of snow and ice sports tourism. Hence, this paper proposes to investigate the demand for ice and snow sports tourism products and its underlying factors using a heterogeneous network model. Drawing upon relevant theories and content, the study analyzes the primary drivers of the development of ice and snow sports tourism. Furthermore, based on the evaluation of ice and snow sports attractions across five major cities, the research synthesizes various product requirements that affect both existing and potential consumers of ice and snow sports tourism. The ultimate aim is to provide practical insights to guide the development and design of ice and snow sports tourism products and ensure the sustainable development of tourism destinations. The final experimental results reveal that the three most crucial aspects of ice and snow sports tourism products are entertainment, stimulation, and safety, with respective effective rates of 64.0%, 62.1%, and 58.9%.

Published: April 2023

En este trabajo, se presenta un estudio numérico para evaluar la capacidad de carga de tubos de HRFA considerando una orientación y distribución de fibras aleatoria. Para ello, se simuló el ensayo de tres aristas a través de un modelo de elementos finitos 3D en combinación con el método de Monte Carlo. Las fibras son representadas como elementos discretos distribuidos aleatoriamente en la masa de hormigón. El fenómeno de arrancamiento es considerado a través de una modificación del modelo constitutivo del acero. Además, se realizó un estudio paramétrico considerando variaciones en el dosaje de fibras y la clase de hormigón. Los resultados mostraron que la aleatoriedad en la distribución y orientación de las fibras afecta significativamente la carga máxima alcanzada con los tubos de HRFA. Sin embargo, esta carga máxima no varía sensiblemente cuando la distribución sigue una función de probabilidad uniforme, siendo la clase de hormigón el parámetro predominante.

Published: April 2023

Magnesium alloys are suitable biological material because of its favourable mechanical qualities, high biocompatibility, and biodegradability. However, it has poor corrosion resistance and has rapid dissolution in the corrosive environment which will weakens its mechanical characteristics. The surface characteristics of magnesium alloy must thus be changed using a suitable surface modification technology, such as micro arc oxidation (MAO). This article examines recent developments and advancements in biodegradable surface coatings applied to magnesium alloys. It was observed there are four steps of MAO process, the formation of a thinner and denser barrier, commencement of oxides in bare Ca-Mg matrix following the presence of sparks; the horizontal expansion of the oxide layer, and finally thickening of MAO coating. It was observed that characteristics of MAO coating can changed by varying electrical parameters like duty cycle, current density, type of power output, frequency, and processing time. It was noticed that when all other factors are held constant, duty cycle, processing time, and frequency primarily effect the coating's porosity, number of cracks and thickness, which in turn influences how well the coating performs. DC, AC, pulsed bipolar, and pulsed unipolar, are the four categories into which the current regimes are classified. It was found that, unipolar current mode MAO coatings found to be rough, highly porous, and vulnerable to microcracks due to stronger spark discharge. MAO coating produced in a bipolar current type of mode have larger pores but are more uniform in thickness and compact. It was noticed that the in-vitro cell assays showed cells L929 on the Ca-P coated Mg alloy to have considerably good adhesion, a high growth rate, and strong proliferation (p 0.05). In other words, the cytocompatibility was greatly enhanced by the Ca-P coating. It was discovered that the Ca-P coated Mg alloy improved cell responsiveness and encouraged early bone formation at the implant/bone interface by both conventional pathological examination and immunohistochemistry investigation. The Ca-P coating was found to be an effective method for raising the surface bioactivity of Mg alloy. It was also observed that the calcium phosphate coating deposited by MAO process improve surface biomineralization which is the main mechanism behind bioactivity. Functional groups that are present on surface engage electrostatically through calcium and phosphate ions from solutions to start the biomineralization process. Calcium phosphates have excellent biocompatibility and are quite comparable to the mineral makeup of bone. The current study aims to investigate the bioactivity of calcium phosphate coatings and the characteristics of magnesium and its alloys.

Published: April 2023

Deformation of shafts and seamless tubes are carried out by a radial forging machine in order to achieve the required dimensions and improve the mechanical parameters of the material. Hence, the study of improving the performance of the radial machine leads to an increase in the quality of the forged tube, while the machine equipment in the process of radial forging will have the least erosion. In this process, the workpiece is surrounded by four tools and during the repeated blows of the die, the desired dimensions of the workpiece are obtained. with regards to the contact surface of the die with the workpiece, the most common tool that faces the highest erosion is the die. Therefore, the improvement of die geometry in order to minimize wear has been investigated in this article. Also, the distribution of die temperature and analysis of die stress during the process has been implemented. Accordingly, three types of die geometries: Flat, Concave and Convex are considered to measure the depth of wear and determine the maximum erosion through 3D finite element simulation and experimental estimates. Therefore, according to the comparison between numerical and analytical results in the case of wear analysis with experimental results, the validation of simulation was confirmed.

Text Mining Analysis of Metoclopramide Reviews: Adverse Effects, Patients’ Perspectives and Off-label Use
Authors: Menikarachchi Lochana , Jayantha Malith
Published: April 2023

Background: User-generated online drug reviews can give insights into patients’ perspectives on drug therapy and adverse reactions. This information can also be used to augment traditional pharmacovigilance systems that suffer from underreporting. The goal of this study was to analyze adverse effects, patients’ perspectives and offlabel uses of metoclopramide through text mining. Methods: User reported drug reviews on metoclopramide were obtained from two online health forums (Drugs.com and WebMD.com) through web scraping. The raw data were preprocessed and analyzed with text mining techniques such as bag-of-words analysis and sentimental analysis. Visual data analysis techniques such as word clouds and bar plots were used to draw important conclusions from the data. Results: Migraine and nausea were the most reported indications in Drugs.com and WebMD.com datasets, respectively. Text analytics show both FDA approved and off-label uses of metoclopramide. Anxiety and spasm were the most frequently reported adverse reactions in Drugs.com and WebMD.com datasets, respectively. Sentimental analysis showed that about 66% of the reviews on Drugs.com were negative, while 34% were positive. The analysis of the WebMD.com dataset revealed a similar finding with 64% negative reviews and 36% positive reviews. Conclusions: User reported adverse reactions on both health forums were consistent with known adverse reactions of metoclopramide. They included both mild (drowsiness, sleepiness, dizziness, fatigue, tiredness, bloating, diarrhea) and severe adverse reactions such as movement disorders (spasm, dyskinesia, Parkinson like symptoms) and psychiatric disorders (anxiety, confusion, panic, restlessness, depression). Patients’ perspectives toward metoclopramide therapy were generally negative. Text analytics also revealed several off-label uses (migraine and hyperemesis) of metoclopramide.
