Published: April 2024

Breast cancer is a primary cause of cancer-associated mortality among women globally, and early detection and personalized treatment are critical for improving patient outcomes. In this study, we propose an optimal framework for predicting breast cancer patient survivability using the GentleBoost algorithm and Bayesian optimization. The proposed framework combines the strengths of the GentleBoost algorithm, which is a powerful machine-learning algorithm for classification, and Bayesian optimization, which is a powerful optimization technique for hyperparameter tuning. We evaluated the proposed framework using the publicly available breast cancer dataset provided by The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program and compared its performance with several popular single algorithms, including support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN), and k-nearest neighbors (KNN). The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms these methods in terms of accuracy (mean= 95.16%, best = 95.35, worst = 95.1%, and SD = 0.008). The values of precision, recall, and f1-score of the best experiment were 92.3 %, 98.2 %, and 95.2 %, respectively, with hyperparameters of (number of learners = 246, learning rate = 0.0011, and maximum number of splits = 1240). The proposed framework has the potential to improve breast cancer patient survival predictions and personalized treatment plans, leading to the improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.

Authors: Sachenko Anatoliy , Yatskiv Vasyl , Sieck Jürgen , Su Jun
Published: April 2024

The paper considers the speedy images processing in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks using the Residue Number System (RNS) and the method of arithmetic coding. The proposed method has a two-stage frame: firstly, the RNS transformation is run to divide the data and obtain residues, and secondly, the parallel compression of the resulting residues is provided by employing the arithmetic coding. Within the implementation of binary code transformation in RNS one, the hardware complexity for block conversion is evaluated for various modulo sets and the results are illustrated. Authors employed the arithmetic coding for residue compression to provide the optimum of compression degree in terms of entropy assessment as well as a reduction in image redundancy without loss of quality. A research algorithm is proposed to run an experiment presented by the residues carried out on test images and other types of files. As a result, an increase in the speed of image compression of about 2.5 times is achieved by processing the small data as well as providing the parallel operation of the compression residue units by RNS selected moduli. Finally, the existing and proposed methods are compared and it has been shown the last one provides a better compression ratio of more than twice.
CT-γ-Net: A Hybrid Model Based on Convolutional Encoder–Decoder and Transformer Encoder for Brain Tumor Localization

Published: April 2024

Brain tumor is a life-threatening disease, and its early diagnosis can save human life. Computer-aided brain tumor segmentation and localization in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images have emerged as pivotal approaches for expediting the disease diagnosis process. In the past few decades, various researchers combined the strengths of convolutional networks and transformer to perform brain tumor segmentation. However, these models require a large number of trainable weights parameters, and there is still scope for performance improvement in them. To bridge these research gaps, this paper proposes a novel hybrid model named “CT-γ-Net” for effective and efficient brain tumor localization. The proposed CT-γ-Net model follows an encoder-decoder structure in which the convolutional encoder (CE) and transformer encoder (TE) are used for encoding, whereas the convolutional decoder (CD) is utilized for decoding the combined output of CE and TE to generate the segmentation masks. In CE and CD components of the CT-γ-Net model, conventional convolutional layers are replaced by depth-wise separable convolutional layers, as these layers significantly reduce trainable weights parameters. The proposed model achieves 95.5% MeanIoU, 94.82% Dice score, and 99.24% pixel accuracy on a publicly available dataset named the Cancer Imaging Archive. These experimental results demonstrate that the CT-γ-Net model outperformed other state-of-the-art research works, despite using roughly 28% fewer trainable weights parameters. Hence, the proposed model’s lightweight nature and its high performance make it a suitable candidate for deployment on mobile devices, facilitating the precise localization of brain tumor regions in MRI images.

Elastic Net – MLP – SMOTE (EMS)-Based Model for Enhancing Stroke Prediction
Authors: Merdas Hussam Mezher
Published: April 2024

A stroke is a sudden disruption in the blood supply to the brain, affecting one or more blood vessels that nourish the brain. This results in a disturbance or deficiency in the brain’s oxygen supply, causing damage or impairment to brain cells. In some cases, determining the timing and severity of a stroke can be challenging. This study proposes an EMS (Elastic Net – MLP – SMOTE) model built on artificial intelligence, specifically utilizing two machine learning algorithms, Elastic Net and multilayer perceptron (MLP) by using Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE). The Elastic Net algorithm was employed for feature selection to identify crucial features, followed by prediction using the MLP algorithm. The Elastic Net algorithm was used due to its incorporation of both L2 and L1 regularization, providing good results in discerning influential features in model performance. The MLP algorithm was employed for its reliance on deep learning techniques, which yield promising results in such cases. This algorithm classified data from a comprehensive dataset containing essential features related to stroke. SMOTE is used to increase the performance of the model. Notably, no previous research study has integrated these three techniques together (Elastic Net – MLP – SMOTE). EMS achieved a prediction accuracy of 95% and MSE = 0.05. This model facilitates predicting the occurrence of stroke by relying on the patient’s historical data, mitigating the sudden onset of this serious disease.

Authors: Ramirez Ramirez Monserrat , Ovando Martínez Astrid Minerva , Martínez Cruz Adán L.
Published: April 2024

En 2019, el gobierno del estado de Aguascalientes declaró 274.86 hectáreas del Bosque de Cobos como Áreas Naturales Protegidas (ANP). Una de las principales razones para declarar el Bosque de Cobos como una ANP es su vulnerabilidad ante el cambio climático y el crecimiento de la mancha urbana. Sin embargo, no hay un programa gubernamental aún en pie para garantizar su mantenimiento y preservación. Para obtener una estimación de los beneficios que representa la conservación del Bosque de los Cobos para la población de Aguascalientes, este trabajo ha implementado un protocolo de valoración contingente a una muestra de los residentes en Aguascalientes capital. A partir de una pregunta dicotómica de doble límite los encuestados reportaron su disposición a pagar un monto adicional en los precios de entrada de los parques más importantes de la ciudad, estimada entre los 53 pesos (3.14 dólares) y los 64 pesos (3.79 dólares) por persona y por visita ―un valor individual que equivale a entre 49.6 millones de pesos (2.9 millones de dólares) y 59.9 millones de pesos (3.5 millones de dólares) anuales al agregarlo sobre la población con mayoría de edad que vive en Aguascalientes y tiene un trabajo remunerado.

Published: April 2024

The book lists problems businesses and schools can solve, from introducing facial recognition technology to tracking attendance. The aim is to break the deadlock to increase OpenCV and Logitech C270 web Using equipment such as webcams, the system provides a reliable and convenient environment for researching and capturing participants. The machine can meet today's attendance needs and time management purpose is also one of its advantages. The technology enables accurate and rapid visits by capturing student images and comparing them to existing data. This increases the overall efficiency of the learning environment while also reducing the workload of administrators and teachers. In addition, the use of complex algorithms such as the LBPH algorithm and the Haar Cascade classifier demonstrates the complexity of the potential identification process. Using a multi-step process that includes comprehensive facial analysis, the system will reduce the risk of errors and increase the accuracy of attendance data. Most importantly, the integration of systems into the learning environment makes it easier for students and technology to connect effectively. When students use the device before class, they can easily participate in the onboarding process and maximize learning time. All things considered, the use of facial recognition technology for attendance monitoring is a significant advancement in school management. The solution simplifies administrative tasks by reducing inefficiencies associated with data processing, as well as creating a more effective and engaging learning experience. As efficiency and innovation become more important in workplaces and schools, the enrollment process provides a powerful response to the ongoing problems of absenteeism.

Published: April 2024

Cloud computing is currently reshaping the digital landscape, with a heightened focus on security and privacy concerns for data stored in the cloud. As cyberattacks grow in sophistication and frequency, individuals and organizations alike must prioritize robust intrusion detection systems (IDS). These systems, particularly those utilizing machine learning (ML), excel at identifying network threats but face challenges with large data sizes, leading to decreased performance. Effective feature selection becomes crucial to maintain classification accuracy and prevent information loss. Additionally, addressing imbalanced datasets is vital to mitigate false positives and enhance detection rates. In this study, we propose an enhanced cloud IDS integrating the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) for data imbalance and a hybrid feature selection method combining information gain (IG), chi-square (CS), and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Leveraging the random forest (RF) model, our system achieves exceptional accuracies exceeding 98% and 99% on the UNSW-NB15 and Kyoto datasets, respectively. Notably, fewer informative features enhance system efficiency, as evidenced by superior performance compared to existing methodologies

Introduction: Migraine is a chronic neurological disease, with a prevalence of 15.2% in Brazil. It is defined as an abnormal neurovascular reaction that occurs in a genetically vulnerable individual. Clinically manifests itself in recurrent episodes of headache associated with other symptoms, dependent on triggering factors. Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of hospital admissions of children and adolescents for migraine and other headache disorders. Methods: This was a retrospective and descriptive epidemiological study carried out with data extracted from the Brazilian Unified Health System's Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS), indexed to the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS). Hospital admissions were selected based on age groups, with an emphasis on children under nine years old and adolescents between 10 and 19 years old, residing in Brazil, between July 2013 and June 2023. Results: Of 93,821 hospital admissions, there were 16,149 hospitalizations (17.2%) of children and adolescents (62.5% women and 37.5% men) due to migraine and other headache disorders. There was a predominance of the age group between 15 and 19 years old (50.2%), with a higher number of cases in the Southeast region (35.9%) and of brown ethnicity (42.6%). Over 10 years, there was a progressive increase in the number of hospital admissions, reaching a peak in 2019 (1,925/16,149; 11.9%), followed by a decline in 2020 and increasing again in subsequent years.

Continuous Unilateral Cephalalgia Due to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report
Authors: Teixeira Lucas , Cruz Matheus
Published: April 2024

BackgroundHemicrania continua is a rare form of cephalalgia featuring a chronic and persistent headache in only one side of the head.ObjectivesIn this report, we present a case of a patient with hemicrania continua and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).MethodsWe collected patient data through the electronic medical record. Afterward, we reviewed the literature regarding hemicrania continua and its pathophysiology and correlation with neurovascular alterations, inflammation, and SLE.ResultsA 42-year-old woman visited the emergency department due to worsening constant unilateral cephalalgia that had been present for the past 6 months. The patient reported a highly intense (10/10) headache in the entire left hemicrania that radiated to the left shoulder. During physical examination, she presented with nystagmus, vertigo, and aggravated cephalalgia associated to body movement and, despite having no optic nerve thickening. In addition, she had jaundice, tachycardia, and splenomegaly. Complimentary exams found deep anemia, depletion in complement system and anti-nuclear factors, suggesting a possible hemolytic anemia (AIHA) due to SLE. Treatment was initiated with hydrocortisone and prednisone, associated with amitriptyline, fluoxetine and diazepam, reaching full remission. These syndromes have aggravated each other, and possibly the explanation for the cephalalgia remission was the control of AIHA and SLE. It features a rare case in literature and thus warrants discussion.

Practice of Patriotism, Ethnocentrism, Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism in India: An Interrogation
Authors: SinghaRoy Debal
Published: April 2024

The central concern of this paper is to examine intersectionalities between the ideals of cosmopolitanism, patriotism, ethnocentrism and nationalism in general, and their changing facets and interfaces in India. It argues that being a multiethnic and plural society, the civilisational ethos of India is conventionally founded on cosmopolitanism. The practice of patriotism and its accommodative principle of unity in diversity have provided the building blocks to this cosmopolitanism. During India’s independence struggle these ideals encountered the forces of modernism, ethnocentrism, communalism and ethno-nationalism. In contemporary India the forces of economic neoliberalism, developmental imbalances and persisting social and economic inequalities, post modernism, hyper modernism, populism, and cultural politics have become part of social reality. Notwithstanding the prevalence of the ideals of cosmopolitanism and civilisational interactive processes, these encounters have brought cumulative fluidity in the social, economic and political orientations in contemporary society, and have created further space for the influence of ethnocentrism and cultural politics as a means to remain rooted in society.

This necessitates continuous improvement of leadership knowledge and its practical application across various domains. This study employs a bibliometric analysis using Vosviewer software to examine the role of leadership in public organizations. The analysis focuses on 413 relevant journal articles published within a ten-year timeframe, ranging from 2013 to 2022. The results reveal nine distinct clusters of research themes, offering a comprehensive landscape of contemporary leadership scholarship in the public sector. Notably, the analysis identifies a relative scarcity of research on "ionic leadership." To equip future public sector leaders with a multifaceted understanding of leadership styles and their effectiveness, further investigation into diverse leadership approaches and their impact within public organizations is crucial. By delving deeper into the nuances of leadership within this complex environment, this research aims to contribute valuable insights for both leadership development and effective public service delivery. Additionally, this study can serve as a springboard for future research that explores under-investigated leadership styles, such as "ionic leadership," and their potential to enhance public service effectiveness.

Abstract: All humans want to enjoy the pleasure and satisfaction of life. This situation is inseparable from the lifestyle of Christians, even though they do it in different ways. This study aims to examine the meaning of true worship, the meaning of true worship in Romans 12:1, and how to offer true worship in Romans 12:1 as a Christian lifestyle learning process. This study uses a literature approach with the results: (1) True worship is an encounter with God fundamentally from the heart directed to the Lord Jesus (2) The offering in Romans 12: 1: (a) the offering of your living body is the total surrender of your whole soul and soul. Enter into the life of God. (b) the offering of your holy bodies is a human act in the likeness of God, who is most holy. (3) Christians always process themselves in learning to train themselves to form a true lifestyle of worship: (a) The process of learning lifestyle as a living offering by doing a total surrender to God. (b) The process of learning lifestyle as an offering of the body (physically as a whole) which is Holy must be carried out throughout life by uniting in one action between the spirit, soul, and body to enter into God's holy life. (c) The lifestyle learning process as an offering pleasing to God must be carried out throughout life, continuously knowing, understanding, studying, and practicing Bible values in daily life.Keywords: true worship offerings; Romans 12:1; learning process; lifestyleAbstrak: Semua manusiaÂ  ingin menikmati kesenangan dan kepuasanÂ  hidupnya.Â  Keadaan tersebut tak luput dari lifestyle umat Kristen meski mereka melakukan dengan cara yang berbeda-beda. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengertian ibadah yang sejati,Â  makna ibadah sejati dalam Roma 12: 1, dan bagaimana persembahan ibadah yang sejati dalam Roma 12:1 sebagai proses pembelajaran lifestyle umat Kristen. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan pustaka dengan hasil:Â  (1) Ibadah yang sejati adalah perjumpaan dengan Tuhan secara mendasar dari hati yang tertuju kepada Tuhan Yesus (2) Persembahan dalamÂ  Roma 12: 1: (a) persembahan tubuhmu yang hidup adalah menyerahan total seluruh jiwa dan raga masuk dalam kehidupan Allah.Â  (b) persembahan tubuhmu yang kudus adalah tindakan manusia serupa dengan Allah, yang Maha kudus. (3) Umat Kristen selalu memproses dirinya dalam pembelajaran melatih diri untuk membetuk lifestyle ibadah yang sejati:Â  (a)Â  Proses pembelajaran lifestyle Â sebagaiÂ  persembahan yang hidup dengan cara melakukan penyerahan diri secara total kepada Allah.

The results of the research open up fundamentally new directions in the use of water resources, in the study of the fertility of saline and secondarily saline lands, in the development of agrobiological and agro-reclamation methods for their improvement, in the development of effective methods for the environmental sustainability of irrigated agriculture. The developed system will significantly reduce costs and allow the widespread introduction of drip irrigation technology over large areas and in many farms in the region. The developed system of irrigated agriculture can be the basis for the adaptation of agriculture in the Ili-Balkhash basin to global climate change with the introduction of a drip irrigation system for rice, diversification of crop production with the introduction of new salt- and drought-resistant crops, and the development of effective methods of amelioration of secondary saline lands. The results of the conducted studies show that in the experimental area under the studied crops, before drip irrigation, there was a slight salinity. Thus, the dense residue under crops varies in the arable 0-20 cm layer within 0.15-0.39 %, and in the subarable 20-40 cm layer in the range of 0.13-0.58 %. After drip irrigation, the content of dense residue under the studied crops slightly increased to 0.34-1.48 % in the arable layer to 0.12 -0.88 %, that is, to the level of low and medium salinity. The results of studies on the study of various methods of irrigating rice on takyr-like soils indicate an increase in rice yields with drip irriga tion. In 2021, with drip irrigation with mulching film, the rice grain yield was 38.5 c/ha. The introduction of 100 kg of ammophos during the row sowing of rice increases the grain yield by 42.2 c/ha. With drip irrigation without a film, the greatest efficiency of nitrogen fertilizers is manifested. With double fertilization with irrigation water of 30 kg/ha in the phase of tillering and panicle ejection, the yield of rice increases by 45.7 c/ha. 651-478 c/ha of green mass of Sudanese grass and 325-287 c/ha of sorghum were obtained, with drip irrigation the soybean grain yield was 51.5 c/ha, which indicates the high ameliorative properties of these crops for cultivation on saline and secondarily saline soils of Akdalinsky irrigation array for fodder purposes. The best reclamation crops for cultivation in saline takyr-like soils of the Akdala irrigation array are soybean, Sudanese grass and sorghum.

The article presents the results of testing the biopreparations «Tumat» and «BioEkoHum» for fertility and productivity of rice-marsh soils of the Akdala irrigation array of the Balkhash district of the Almaty region. It was established that the fertility of the original soil according to the existing agrochemical gradations was characterized by an alkaline reaction of the environment, a very low supply of mobile forms of phosphorus and potassium, and the content of easily hydrolysable nitrogen was average. The content of organic matter was at the level of 1.1 %. At the same time, fluctuations in agrochemical parameters in the experimental plots were significant. So, for organic matter, the extreme values were 0.7÷1.3 %, for easily hydrolysable nitrogen 36.4÷75.6 %, for phosphorus content - 8÷14 and potassium - 70÷160 mg/kg of soil.It was revealed that the introduction of «Tumat» into the soil + sowing with rice seeds treated by them had a positive effect on the stabilization of the humus state, mobile phosphorus and exchangeable potassium in the tillering phase. Due to the change in the redox environment, the content of easily hydrolysable nitrogen in this phase decreased in all variants of the experiment, since the dynamics of nitrogen content is determined by the transformation of nitrogen compounds and their consumption. In the next phases of rice development, bioameliorants contributed to an increase in effective fertility, positively influencing the content of mobile mineral forms of nitrogen. Apparently, these are very promising options in terms of maintaining soil fertility. For all variants of the experiment, there is a slight increase in the mobile form of phosphorus, and the content of exchangeable potassium decreased compared to their content in the tillering phase. As the obtained data on the biological yield showed, the largest increase was obtained in option 4 with the introduction of «Tumat» into the soil + planting of rice seeds untreated with this biomeliorant - 30.3 c/ha (36.1 %), when sowing the seeds treated with it, the increase was 30.6 %. An increase of 9 q/ha (25 %) and 7 q/ha (19.4 %) was obtained in the variants with planting seeds treated with «BioEcoHum», and planting them when it was introduced into the soil, respectively.
