Published: December 2024

The management of libraries in Indonesia is generally still done manually, leading to several issues such as inaccurate book inventory data and unclear transaction processes. The aim of this research is to design a web-based library information system using the User Experience (UX) concept, which will provide ease of use for users by focusing on effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction. This concept involves four stages: analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation. During the analysis stage, data collection is carried out through observation, interviews, and the distribution of questionnaires to understand the needs of the members. Next, the system is designed to meet the needs of both the members and the management. After that, usability testing is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction with the system. The testing involved 15 members and library staff. The results showed that in terms of effectiveness, all tasks were above the average completion rate. In terms of efficiency, the product usage time was satisfactory, and in terms of satisfaction, using the UEQ (User Experience Questionnaire) showed good to very good results. Therefore, the library system can be used by library members to support their library activities.

Published: December 2024

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el papel del conocimiento de vocabulario, la memoria operativa y la velocidad de procesamiento en la comprensión de textos orales en niños hispanohablantes de 3 a 6 años. Un total de 165 niños (55.76% niñas; M = 4.64 años; DT = 1.07) participaron en el estudio. Los participantes escucharon tres textos narrativos y respondieron a preguntas sobre su contenido literal e inferencial, realizaron tareas de memoria operativa, una tarea de velocidad de procesamiento y una prueba de vocabulario. Los análisis de varianza revelaron diferencias en función de la edad en todas las tareas, con mejores desempeños en los mayores. Los análisis de correlación mostraron asociaciones entre comprensión, vocabulario y memoria operativa, sugiriendo que estas capacidades cognitivas contribuyen a la comprensión de narraciones orales. Los análisis de senderos indicaron que el impacto de la edad en la comprensión está mediado por el vocabulario y la memoria operativa verbal, mientras que la velocidad de procesamiento no intervino significativamente en la comprensión. Los resultados destacan la importancia de apoyar el desarrollo del vocabulario y las habilidades de memoria operativa en la educación temprana, ya que son fundamentales para mejorar las habilidades de comprensión. En conclusión, el estudio revela que las diferencias individuales en la comprensión oral están principalmente ligadas al conocimiento del vocabulario y a la capacidad de la memoria operativa, mientras que la velocidad de procesamiento desempeña un papel secundario.
RTide: Machine learning enhanced response method for the analysis and prediction of estuarine tides and storm surge
Authors: Monahan Thomas , Tang Tianning , Roberts Stephen , Adcock Thomas
Published: December 2024

Tides pose significant operational and engineering challenges and are critical drivers of many natural processes. Accurate tidal predictions are important for modeling these phenomena. Conventionally, tidal prediction is carried out using harmonic analysis, the accuracy of which degrades when non-stationary and nontidal forcing are present. While Munk and Cartwright’s response method avoids the assumptions that give rise to this degradation, the difficulty of defining realistic interactions between inputs has inhibited automated applications. Here, we develop a non-parametric framework for tidal analysis and prediction of sea levels under compound forcing. The approach embeds a class of neural networks capable of representing any arbitrary Volterra series—the mathematical basis of the response method—within the classic method. The new ML Response Framework overcomes the automation challenges imposed by the original method and can directly infer high-order nonlinear interactions. This makes the inclusion of meteorological and other non-tidal forcing straightforward. Furthermore, we show that by accounting for this nonstationarity explicitly, a better astronomical tidal estimate is obtained. A method is devised to obtain physical insights from the learned model, illustrating how it can be used to study the interaction and modulation of astronomical tides by external forcing. By taking a nonparametric approach, our framework makes the study of phenomena that heretofore could not be accounted for straightforward. We provide several case studies, including the analysis and prediction of tide-surge interaction, riverine tides, and nuisance flooding. These applications, and more, can be replicated using only three lines of code with the open-source Python package (RTide).

The G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the major genetic cause of both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (C9-ALS/FTD). Despite considerable efforts, the development of mouse models of C9-ALS/FTD useful for therapeutic development has proven challenging due to the intricate interplay of genetic and molecular factors underlying this neurodegenerative disorder, in addition to species differences. This study presents a robust investigation of the cellular pathophysiology and behavioral outcomes in a previously described AAV mouse model of C9-ALS expressing 66 G4C2 hexanucleotide repeats. The model displays key molecular ALS pathological markers including RNA foci, dipeptide repeat (DPR) protein aggregation, p62 positive stress granule formation as well as mild gliosis. However, the AAV-(G4C2)66 mouse model in this study has marginal neurodegeneration with negligible neuronal loss, or clinical deficits. Human C9orf72 is typically associated with altered TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) function, yet studies of this rodent model revealed no significant evidence of TDP-43 dysfunction. While our findings indicate and support that this is a highly valuable robust and pharmacologically tractable model for investigating the molecular mechanisms and cellular consequences of (G4C2) repeat driven DPR pathology, it is not suitable for investigating the development of disease- associated TDP-43 dysfunction or clinical impairment. Our findings underscore the complexity of ALS pathogenesis involving genetic mutations and protein dysregulation and highlight the need for more comprehensive model systems that reliably replicate the multifaceted cellular and behavioral aspects of C9-ALS.

Purpose: Bleeding per rectum (BPR) is a common clinical presentation, and colonoscopy is the gold standard for evaluating patients aged ≥ 45 years. However, it’s role in younger patients remains unclear. This study evaluated the appropriateness of colonoscopy in patients < 40 years of age who presented with BPR.Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted over 10 years, including 3422 patients aged 18–40 years who underwent colonoscopy for BPR. The cohort was divided into two age groups: younger (aged 18–30 years) and older (31–40 years). The patients’ baseline characteristics, colonoscopy findings, and histopathological results were analyzed.Results: Hemorrhoids were the most common finding (48%), with a higher prevalence in younger age groups (50.7%). Polyps were detected in 12.5% of patients, with 1.75% having advanced adenoma polyps (AAP) and 1.3% diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). A family history of CRC/AAP was significantly associated with increased CRC risk (adjusted OR 6.35, 95% CI 2.24–18.02, p = 0.001) in explorative logistic regression analysis.Conclusion: AAP and CRC were detected in a small but significant proportion of patients, particularly among those aged 18–30 years. The detection of significant lesions in this age group highlights the need for targeted colonoscopy based on specific risk factors such as family history and clinical presentation. Future research should prioritize the creation of targeted assessment models to improve clinical decision making in this context.

Published: December 2024

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors influencing adverse outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS)within one year and establish a linear prediction model based on them.
Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of 600 AIS patients treated at our hospital from January 2019 to June 2023. They were divided into an observation group (n=100, adverse prognosis) and a control group (n=500, good prognosis) based on the occurrence of adverse events within one year. Statistical analysis of intergroup differences was performed using the chi-square test, independent sample t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Single-factor, multiple-factor logistic regression, and Lasso regression analyses were conducted using the glmnet package to identify independent risk factors affecting AIS. Risk factors influencing adverse outcomes in AIS were depicted using column charts with the "rms" package.Bootstrap method was used for internal validation of the model.
Results Single-factor logistic regression showed that age, admission NIHSS score, blood sugar, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, white blood cell count, smoking history, stroke history, concurrent pneumonia, inability to walk within 48 hours of admission, and atrial fibrillation were the main risk factors (P<0.05). Multiple-factor logistic regression revealed that age, admission NIHSS score, concurrent pneumonia, inability to walk within 48 hours of admission, and atrial fibrillation were independent risk factors influencing adverse outcomes in AIS patients within one year (P<0.05). The ROC curve for the AIS adverse prognosis column chart model within one year showed high credibility, with a training set AUC of 0.993 (0.988-0.998) and a validation set AUC of 0.987 (0.969-1.000).
Conclusion We has successfully constructed a risk prediction model based on a linear chart, which can be used to predict adverse outcomes in AIS patients within one year with high reliability.

Published: December 2024

Background and Purpose: The diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) signs of intracranial hypertension (ICH) in children remains unclear. This study aims to assess how brain MR signs of ICH correlate with cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure (CSFOP).
Materials and Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted with 77 children aged 1 to 18 years, who underwent brain MR and lumbar puncture with CSFOP measurement. The ICH group included 38 patients (49.3%) and the control group 39 (50.7%). A blinded radiologist evaluated key ICH signs, including distension of the perioptic subarachnoid space, optic nerve (ON) tortuosity, posterior scleral flattening, intraocular protrusion, and enhancement of the prelaminar ON, among others. Odds ratios, likelihood ratios, sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the ROC curve (AUROC) were calculated in relation to CSFOP, adjusted for age and sex.
Results: The presence of four or more MR signs of ICH provided the best diagnostic performance (specificity 92%, sensitivity 40%, AUROC 0.759) for identifying elevated CSFOP, particularly with intraocular protrusion of the prelaminar ON (p = 0.006, median CSFOP 49.6 cmH2O, p <.001) and papilledema (p = 0.042).
Conclusion: The presence of four or more MR signs can accurately predict elevated CSFOP in children with non-structural ICH.

Published: December 2024

Incorporating tea waste (TW) into hydrogel promotes sustainability and supports the principles of circular economy. Tea waste-grafted-polyacrylic acid containing NPK fertilizer (TW-g-PAA/NPK) was developed as potential slow-release fertilizer hydrogel (SRFH). Its properties were compared to those of synthesized PAA superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and TW-g-PAA superabsorbent polymer composite (SAPC). Chemical, morphological and elemental properties of SAP, SAPC and SRFH were analyzed using FTIR spectroscopy, SEM microscopy and SEM-EDX spectrometer. The grafting reactions were proven by the appearance of peaks at 1046 cm-1 in SAPC and SRFH spectra, indicating that -COH bonds of cellulose were broken to form -COC- bonds. SEM images showed that, TW fiber was grafted with PAA hydrogel and SRFH had the smallest pore sizes. Furthermore, EDX images proved the presence of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) elements in SRFH. Swelling properties indicated that SRFH has the lowest WAC, resulting in slowest release rate. Re-swelling performance showed that SRFH and SAPC has no vital change in WAC even after five cycles of swelling. Germination and growth of mini eggplants seeds in black soil treated with SRFH showed faster germination and the best development. The developed TW-g-PAA/NPK provide an innovative approach as slow-release fertilizer and water retention in agriculture fields.

Published: December 2024

Background:
The association between diet and oral health is complex, yet understanding the influence of nutrition on oral health among dental professionals is limited. This study aimed to assess the knowledge levels of dental professionals in Saudi Arabia regarding the relationship between diet and oral health.
Methods:
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 211 dental professionals using an 18-item questionnaire. Statistical Analysis SPSS v23.0 was used for analysis. Yes = 1; No/I don't know = 0 for a knowledge score (0–18). The mean, SD, and proportions were calculated. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test determined normality. The Chi-squared test and post-hoc Tukey analysis assessed relationships.
Results:
The findings revealed that female practitioners (mean = 13.41, SD = 2.85) and older professionals had higher knowledge levels, with a total mean score of 12.33 (SD = 2.93). Significant correlations were observed between knowledge scores and age (ANOVA: F = 2.874; p = 0.024) and between knowledge scores and gender (t-test: t = 6.68, p < 0.001). Oral Medicine Specialists and Periodontists had the highest knowledge scores, with mean scores of 13.43 (SD = 2.87) and 13.63 (SD = 2.66), respectively, while General Dentists scored lower (mean = 10.49, SD = 3.12; ANOVA: F = 4.462; p < 0.001). Practitioners with less than five years of experience had significantly lower knowledge scores (mean = 11.14, SD = 3.23) compared to those with 5–10 years (mean = 13.40, SD = 2.34) and over 20 years of experience (mean = 12.69, SD = 2.22) (ANOVA: F = 5.016; p = 0.002).
Conclusion:
Our findings reveal that dental professionals in Saudi Arabia have varying knowledge regarding the relationship between diet and oral health. While awareness exists, there are gaps in understanding the nutritional factors influencing oral health outcomes. Addressing these knowledge gaps through targeted educational interventions is essential, given the crucial role dental professionals play in promoting oral health and educating patients on the importance of nutrition. Enhancing this knowledge will improve patient care and contribute to better community health outcomes through informed preventive strategies and public health initiatives.

Published: December 2024

Inferring optimal solutions from limited data is considered the ultimate goal in scientific discovery. Artificial intelligence offers a promising avenue to greatly accelerate this process. Existing methods often depend on large datasets, strong assumptions about objective functions, and classic machine learning techniques, restricting their effectiveness to low-dimensional or data-rich problems.

We present a deep active learning pipeline that combines deep neural networks with a novel tree search to find superior solutions in high-dimensional complex problems with non-cumulative objectives and limited data availability. Our pipeline iteratively approaches the optimum using a neural surrogate and introduces new search mechanisms to bypass the local optimum and minimize the number of samples needed to achieve superior solutions. These contributions enable our pipeline to achieve superior solutions across diverse problems with up to 2,000 dimensions, whereas existing methods are limited to 100 dimensions and require up to 10 times more data points. Our pipeline demonstrates wide applicability, discovering superior solutions in various domain science problems. This advancement enables data-efficient knowledge discovery and opens the path towards scalable self-driving laboratories. Although we focus on problems within the realm of scientific domain, the advancements achieved herein are applicable to a broader spectrum of challenges across all quantitative disciplines.

Dieser Tage kennt die (Fernseh-)Werbung scheinbar nur ein Thema: Apps. Liedtitel gesucht? Das App findet ihn. Verlaufen? Einfach das App nach dem Weg fragen. Langeweile auf der Zugfahrt? Wofür ist das Spiele-App da? Apps scheinen allgegenwärtig und omnipotent zu sein. Doch was ist das eigentlich genau – ein App? Der Name ist eine Abkürzung des englischen Begriffs ‚application’, also Anwendung. Synonym werden in manchen Zusammenhängen auch das Kunstwort ‚Widget’ (Wi(ndow) + (Ga)dget) oder die Begriffe ‚Gadget’ (technische Spielerei) oder ‚Minianwendung’ benutzt. Doch ob App, Widget oder Gadget, gemeint sind immer kleine Anwendungen, die als Buttons oder ‚Fenster im Fenster’ auf einem Computer- oder auch Handy-Bildschirm erscheinen und ihre Dienste anbieten. Etwa Horoskope, Schlagzeilen oder Navigation per Klick. Bekannt gemacht hat diese Buttons das iPhone, das fast ausschließlich mit Apps arbeitet, mit dem Spruch „Es gibt für alles ein App“; deshalb schreibt so mancher auch die Erfindung und Namensgebung der App(le)s der Apfelmarke zu. Ganz richtig ist das aber nicht, denn als Desktop-Anwendung auf Computern wurden Apps bereits seit Mitte der 90er Jahre von Windows und Apple verwendet.

Population genetics: An introduction for physicists
Authors: Iglesias-Ramas Andrea , Lipani Samuele Pio , Allen Rosalind
Published: December 2024

Population genetics lies at the heart of evolutionary theory. This topic forms part of many biological science curricula but is rarely taught to physics students. Since physicists are becoming increasingly interested in biological evolution, we aim to provide a brief introduction to population genetics, written for physicists. We start with two background chapters: chapter 1 provides a brief historical introduction to the topic, while chapter 2 provides some essential biological background. We begin our main content with chapter 3 which discusses the key concepts behind Darwinian natural selection and Mendelian inheritance. Chapter 4 covers the basics of how variation is maintained in populations, while chapter 5 discusses mutation and selection. In chapter 6 we discuss stochastic effects in population genetics using the Wright-Fisher model as our example, and finally we offer concluding thoughts and references to textbooks in chapter 7.
Interconnections in the education–migration–labor market chain in Central and Eastern Europe

Published: December 2024

This study examines the interconnections between transformations in the education sphere, migrations waves, and labor market in 2000–2021 based on a panel data set for 14 Central and Eastern European countries (7 – former members of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance; 5 – former republics of the USSR, and 2 – former republics of Yugoslavia). Statistical data were collected from the World Bank, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the International Labour Organization databases. To describe this interconnection, a pool of parameters was formed. Those that cause the greatest variability were selected using exploratory factor analysis: for education – the number of teachers and students in higher education and public spending on education; for migration – the net migration flow, personal remittances sent and received; for labor market –unemployment rate and the share of highly educated people among the employed. Confirmatory factor analysis identified the most influential determinants: for education – the number of students in higher education; for migration – paid personal remittances; for labor market – unemployment rate. The covariance analysis demonstrated a robust direct correlation between education and migration (positive shifts in the education sector serve as a catalyst for pursuing superior employment opportunities or continuing education abroad). A relatively weak direct correlation was between education and the labor market (a more highly educated workforce has only a limited impact on the structure and dynamics of the labor market). Finally, a moderate inverse correlation was between migration and the labor market (deteriorating labor market conditions give rise to migration waves).

Sculptural Images in Dutch Portraiture of the Second Half of the 17th Century. Problems of Interpretation
Authors:   Saint Petersburg Repin Academy of Fine Arts, Podshivalova Polina I.
Published: December 2024

The article attempts to investigate the role of the sculptural image in Dutch portraiture in the second half of the 17th century. Based on the most typical works of this genre by C. Netscher (“Portrait of Mary Stuart II” (1683), “Portrait of Gertrude Huygens” (1668)), F. Bol (“Margaret Trip as Minerva teaching her sister Anna Maria Trip” (1663)), A. van den Tempel (“Portrait of Pieter de la Court” (1667)), M. van Musscher (“Self-Portrait” (1685)) the author identifies the peculiarities of the visual and symbolic interpretation of ancient and classical sculpture and their significance in the development of the biographical plot. In this way, selected Dutch portraits of the period can be read in a new light and their function in the process of constructing the Dutch viewer’s own social and cultural identity in the second half of the 17th century can be explained. An analysis of the paintings of K. Netscher, F. Bol and A. van den Tempel showed that one of the factors determining the spread of the sculptural motif in painting was a gradual change in the perception of sculpture in interiors. In the 1660s, statues and reliefs became an object of noble passion, which could be represented with prestige in portraiture, which had become fashionable. Nevertheless, the painters appeal to sculpture was not so much motivated by a desire to aesthetise the background as by a desire to emphasise the model’s status as homo nobilis (noble man), homo illuminatus (enlightened man) or homo mortalis (mortal man). In order to achieve the greatest expressiveness of the plastic image, artists usually used the technique of grisaille and compositional techniques such as scaling, hypermaterialisation, deliberate stacking and the technique of best visibility.
Herança da resistência e avaliação de linhagens resistentes à mosca minadora em meloeiro
Authors:   , Ferreira Roberta Rocha
Published: December 2024

O uso de cultivares resistentes é um método vantajoso dentro do manejo integrado de pragas
para controle da mosca minadora, principal problema fitossanitário na cultura do meloeiro, ao
qual se pode associar os benefícios de não ocasionar impactos adversos ao meio ambiente e
poder ser utilizada simultaneamente a qualquer outro método de controle. Nesse contexto, os
objetivos desse trabalho foram selecionar fontes de resistência à mosca minadora, estudar sua
herança, obter e avaliar linhagens resistentes. Para isso, dois experimentos de campo com 22
híbridos de melão amarelo foram realizados para avaliação da resistência. Foram identificadas
duas fontes de resistência, ‘AM-RT’ e ‘AM-TM’, que apresentaram número de minas igual a
zero. Para a fonte de resistência ‘AM-RT’, com base na segregação fenotípica observada nas
progênies S1, S1:2 e no cruzamento teste, foi possível determinar que um gene com dominância
completa condiciona a resistência. Dezoito linhagens resistentes foram obtidas a partir das
progênies utilizadas no estudo de herança por meio de sucessivas autofecundações, conduzidas
pelo método Single Seed Descent (SSD) com modificações. As linhagens obtidas foram
avaliadas para resistência, produção e qualidade de fruto em dois experimentos de campo
conduzidos em blocos casualizados com 21 tratamentos e três repetições nos municípios de
Baraúna e Mossoró. Com os dados obtidos para resistência, realizou-se o agrupamento de
UPGMA e a técnica de K-Means, observando-se a formação de cinco grupos de genótipos em
ambas as análises. Na análise conjunta dos dois locais, observou-se efeito significativo de
linhagens (p < 0,05) para os caracteres peso médio do fruto (PMF), índice de formato (IF),
espessura da polpa (EP) e firmeza da polpa (FP). Também houve interação significativa (p <
0,01) entre linhagens e locais (G x A) para número de frutos por parcela (NF), IF e sólidos
solúveis (SS). As linhagens mais promissoras considerando o alto nível de resistência à mosca
minadora, elevada produtividade e qualidade dos frutos foram MRL-08, MRL-07, MRL-11,
MRL-12, MRL-13, MRL-17 e MRL-18

Published: December 2024

Along with its development, the online offering business of one of Bali's local MSMEs has become an alternative in between busy work. With the obstacles faced by several business actors, especially in villages, the convenience provided by digitalization becomes a problem. Seeing the obstacles to payment from selling offerings online, a deep understanding of a transparent financial technology system is needed to make it easier and provide confidence to the Balinese Hindu community who carry out online banten ceremony transactions. This study aims to see the influence of Digital Financial Technology in increasing the development of local MSMEs and will automatically improve the community's economy. This research method uses descriptive analysis by looking at data on the growth of digital payment technology. The study results show evidence that local MSMEs are greatly helped by digital financial technology such as QRIS, virtual accounts, and e-wallets that can be accessed via smartphone. We cannot avoid digitalization, but we must be able to surf the fast wave of digitalization. With the many conveniences provided, it is hoped that the online offering business of one of Bali's local MSMEs can develop better and benefit the economy, especially the Hindu community in Bali.

Pandemia, desigualdades y políticas públicas
Authors: Lozano Ascencio Fernando , Valdivia López Marcos , Mendoza González Miguel Ángel Hilario
Published: December 2024

El presente capítulo presenta diversas reflexiones y recomendaciones de política pública. Estas se derivan del análisis de los procesos de desigualdad económica y social de México, que se vieron alterados por la pandemia de la covid-19 y que se presentan en el tomo 1 de la presente colección. En particular, destaca la necesidad de rediseñar políticas públicas territoriales que aborden las desigualdades espaciales y sociales, prestando especial atención a las regiones y los espacios que se han quedado atrás. Discute el papel de las transferencias públicas durante la contingencia. Analiza el impacto de los programas sociales en la reducción de la pobreza y desigualdad. Examina cómo la pandemia catalizó el cambio tecnológico y el teletrabajo, además del impacto que tendrán en el futuro inmediato. Presenta una reflexión sobre las lecciones que esta crisis sanitaria dejó en materia de política pública: la importancia de la coordinación entre los diferentes niveles de gobierno, así como la necesidad de adoptar políticas de recuperación y reactivación, condicionadas por el lugar o territorio, sujetas a interdependencia regional. En suma, el capítulo destaca la importancia de diseñar políticas públicas efectivas y equitativas para abordar las desigualdades socioeconómicas, para enfrentar los desafíos que dejó la pandemia.
Una crítica teórica y empírica a la curva de Phillips: el caso de México, 2001-2018
Authors: Capraro Santiago
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo busca determinar las falencias teóricas y empíricas de los regímenes de metas de inflación (RMI) en su aplicación específica a las economías latinoamericanas. En particular, se busca demostrar que los modelos macroeconómicos sobre los cuales se basan las políticas de los RMI no tienen en cuenta ciertas características estructurales de las economías de la región. Por lo tanto, su aplicación genera consecuencias no deseadas. En particular, se estima una curva de Phillips para la economía mexicana en el periodo 2000-2018 que muestra que la misma no responde a la naturaleza del modelo canónico, destacándose el hallazgo de que las condiciones de la demanda no tienen un impacto sobre la inflación.
Comentario a la parte económica del libro de Viridiana Ríos: NO es normal
Authors: Huerta Quintanilla Rogelio
Published: December 2024

En un muy bien documentado libro sobre la desigualdad en México titulado No es normal. El juego oculto que alimenta la desigualdad mexicana y cómo cambiarlo, la doctora Viridiana Ríos nos muestra las causas de las injusticias en el país y cómo enfrentar tal situación para remediarla. Ella espera que sus propuestas nos sirvan “para demandar un cambio profundo y estructural sobre cómo funciona nuestro país” (Ríos, 2021, p. 27). Desde su perspectiva, el problema es que las reglas del juego están mal hechas y hay que cambiarlas. En la Introducción nos indica: “México (…) está construido sobre una gran cantidad de reglas, políticas y regulaciones, que benefician a quienes tienen más dinero, a las empresas más grandes y quienes han heredado el poder” (p. 22).
De Macondo a McOndo: un análisis espacial de Temporada de huracanes de Fernanda Melchor
Authors: Oliver Felipe
Published: December 2024

La novela Temporada de huracanes (2017) de Fernanda Melchor aborda la violencia del México contemporáneo desde la construcción de un espacio rico y complejo que evoca al formato de la novela negra y al mismo tiempo posibilita un nutrido diálogo con la tradición novelística latinoamericana. Ambientada en la ficticia región de La Matosa, la obra construye un  universo social rico en referencias y posibilidades interpretativas. En efecto, además de ofrecer un crudo retrato de la violencia en el México contemporáneo, La Matosa entabla un diálogo con espacios ficcionales bien conocidos como el Macondo de Gabriel García Márquez, la Santa María de Juan Carlos Onetti y Estación El Olivo de José Donoso. De igual modo, el espacio en la novela de Melchor es rico en referencias intertextuales de la cultura de masas, lo que igualmente posibilita un diálogo con lo que los chilenos Alberto Fuguet y Sergio Gómez en su momento definieron como McOndo. Este trabajo analiza entonces la novela de Fernanda Melchor desde su cercanía con la novela negra en general y desde su cercanía a algunas de las mejores ficciones del pasado siglo en particular. Por último, el texto analiza La Matosoa como la representación alegórica del fracaso de la globalidad y la multiculturalidad en América Latina.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of negative self-perception of health among medical students at a public university in northern Brazil and the associated factors. This is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design and quantitative approach. The study included 185 undergraduate medical students from a public university in the federal system, located in northern Brazil. Data were obtained through a questionnaire, which was administered virtually using Google Forms®. Questions related to self-perception of health, sociodemographic and economic profile, lifestyle habits and health conditions were evaluated. The association between self-perception of health and the independent variables was verified through bivariate analysis followed by Poisson regression. The prevalence of negative self-perception of health was observed in 63.2% of the students. It was observed that non-white skin color (PR = 1.27; p = 0.035) and symptoms of depression (PR = 1.32; p = 0.044) were associated with a higher prevalence of negative self-perception of health, while the variable alcohol consumption (PR = 1.26; p = 0.054), although not significant, was at the limit for a possible association with the outcome investigated. It is concluded that, during the Covid-19 pandemic, a high prevalence of negative self-perception of health was observed in medical students and that this outcome was associated with sociodemographic characteristics and health conditions.
PSYCHOGENIC NON-EPILEPTIC SEIZURES AND BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER IN AN ADOLESCENT GIRL

Published: December 2024

Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizures (PNES) are paroxysmal and involuntary episodes of sudden/temporary behavioral changes, with impairment of motor, autonomic, cognitive and emotional functions. Of the patients diagnosed, some resolve quickly, but in the majority of cases, the symptoms persist for months or years. The persistence of PNES may be associated with another underlying pathology, mainly a Personality Disorder, particularly borderline. The present clinical case report to a 16-year-old female adolescent, referred at the age of 13 to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service (CAPS) after multiple visits to the emergency department due to persistent symptoms of anxiety, sadness, ongoing suicidal ideation, self-injurious behavior and recurrent episodes of falling from her own height. As an intervention, it is worth mentioning follow-up in multiple specialty consultations, without any alterations being detected. The young girl attended CAPS appointments, individual psychotherapy, psychopharmacological and family interventions and multiple hospitalizations in mental health facilities.In carrying out the differential diagnosis, the following diagnostic hypotheses were considered: Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). As in this case, literature confirms that in many patients with PNES, with severe disability and persistence for months or years, show co-occurrence with BPD. This comorbidity predicts a worse prognosis for PNES. This clinical case illustrates the complexity of the condition, particularly the refractoriness of the functional neurological symptoms and the ineffective response to the multiple interventions. In the future, it would be important to invest in research into other types of therapeutic approaches for these patients.
The cost of solving linear differential equations on a quantum computer: fast-forwarding to explicit resource counts

How well can quantum computers simulate classical dynamical systems? There is increasing effort in developing quantum algorithms to efficiently simulate dynamics beyond Hamiltonian simulation, but so far exact resource estimates are not known. In this work, we provide two significant contributions. First, we give the first non-asymptotic computation of the cost of encoding the solution to general linear ordinary differential equations into quantum states – either the solution at a final time, or an encoding of the whole history within a time interval. Second, we show that the stability properties of a large class of classical dynamics allow their fast-forwarding, making their quantum simulation much more time-efficient. From this point of view, quantum Hamiltonian dynamics is a boundary case that does not allow this form of stability-induced fast-forwarding. In particular, we find that the history state can always be output with complexity O(T1/2) for any stable linear system. We present a range of asymptotic improvements over state-of-the-art in various regimes. We illustrate our results with a family of dynamics including linearized collisional plasma problems, coupled, damped, forced harmonic oscillators and dissipative nonlinear problems. In this case the scaling is quadratically improved, and leads to significant reductions in the query counts after inclusion of all relevant constant prefactors.
An efficient approach for detecting downsyndrome fetus images using deep learning method
Authors: V. Gokulakrishan  , S. Selvakumar
Published: December 2024

Down Syndrome (DS) is the genetical disorder which can be screened by the ultrasound fetus images. This research work proposes an automated ultrasound fetus image classification system using DL algorithm. This proposed system receives the source ultrasound fetus image and the spatial domain pixels in this image have been converted into multi modal domain pixels using Gabor wavelet. Further, Local Binary Pattern (LBP) has been computed from the multi domain image and these values have been fed into the proposed DL architecture to classify the source fetus image into either normal fetus or abnormal fetus. The morphological algorithm have been used on the abnormal fetus images in order to locate the Nasal Bone (NB) and this proposed DS detection method has been tested on two independent fetus ultrasound datasets Mendeley and Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF). The proposed NT region segmentation system attains 98.44% NBSe, 98.63% NBSp and 98.62% NBAcc, for the set of 10 fetus images from the Mendeley dataset in this work. The proposed NB region segmentation system attains 98.67% NBSe, 98.66% NBSp and 98.66% NBAcc, for the set of 10 fetus images from the FMF dataset in this work.
