Authors: Liu Fengwei
Published: July 2024

This study focuses on automatically classifying radiographic images of the chest region into standard classification, COVID-19 classification, and viral pneumonia classification by utilizing complex neural networks. Using a chest radiograph dataset from the academic bastion Universit de Montral, the study introduces an innovative paradigm rooted in MobileNetV2. We conducted a comparative analysis to evaluate the efficacy of this avant-garde model by juxtaposing it with the typical DenseNet121 and RESNET50 popular in the field of medical image classification. This exploration revealed MobileNetV2 as an ingenious model distinguished by its tiny scale and commendable accuracy. Using DW convolution design greatly reduces the computational complexity and parameter count. Regarding the composition of the architecture, transfer learning is used to attach global mean pooling and fully connected layers on top of MobileNetV2, and is customized for nuanced tripartite classification work. Comparative evaluation shows that the MobileNetV2 model has only 2,643,187 parameters, completes training in just 37 seconds, and has an accuracy of 98.48%. In contrast, although DenseNet121 and RESNET50 demonstrate commendable proficiency, their large model dimensions and lengthy training intervals limit their usefulness in resource-limited environments. The findings highlight the superior performance of the MobileNetV2 model in the field of chest X-ray classification, providing a simplified and efficient alternative for deployment on mobile and embedded devices.

Published: July 2024

Recently we had the fact that cardiovascular disease has become one of the major threats to human life, which leads to the significance of the research around the prevention and cure of such disease. Recently, machine learning algorithms are utilized for the prediction of a certain person who has an illness or not. To verify the effectiveness of predicting cardiovascular disease using machine learning methods, we predict cardiovascular disease given features of a persons life habits and illness history from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Therefore, 5 models are selected, including SVM, logistic regression, decision tree, fully connected network, and XGBoost to evaluate the performance via confusion matrix and ROG curves. Plus, the dataset is highly unbalanced, so we also implemented SMOTETomek re-sampling algorithms to evaluate the models performance on such kinds of datasets. Results exhibited that XGBoost performs the best on the given dataset, hence deep research on improving the performance using XGBoost is highly recommended.

Neurofibroma detection using joint imaging genomics and ensemble learning
Authors: Liu Yunpeng , Zhuo Yupeng , Wang Ying , Gan Kaifeng , Liu Dongquan
Published: July 2024

Accurate detection of neurofibromas is crucial for quantitative monitoring of tumor progression and surgical assessment. This paper proposes a method for neurofibroma detection in whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WBMRI) using joint imaging genomics and ensemble learning. Firstly, we enhance texture features through a combination of image sharpening, filtering, brightness adjustment, and contrast enhancement. Then, we employ a weighted boxes fusion (WBF) technique based on test-time augmentation (TTA) under a single model and further integrate multiple models using the dual fusion approach of TTA and WBF. For segmentation, we utilize minimum bounding boxes based on segmentation masks for position calibration. Finally, false positive tumor regions are further eliminated through imaging genomics features. The experimental MRI data is obtained from collaboration between Harvard Medical School and domestic tertiary hospitals, comprising 158 cases with a total of 1380 tumors. Five-fold cross-validation is conducted with segmentation annotations completed by domain experts. Compared to the best results of single models, our proposed method achieves a 10.1% increase in average precision (AP), 7.8% increase in sensitivity, reduction of average false positives to 3.58, a decrease of 17.68, and an 8.5% improvement in competitive performance metric (CPM). This method effectively enhances the accuracy of neurofibroma detection and is applicable to detecting tumors and lesions in other medical imaging applications.

Authors: Hoffman Brett A. , Sanford Christopher , Didier Alexander J. , Lassiter Eric , Lozano-Calderon Santiago A
Published: July 2024

Introduction:

Ewing sarcomas of the axial skeleton represent a notable challenge for clinicians because of their aggressive presentation and tendency to obstruct neurovascular structures; however, little data exist regarding axial tumors in children. This study is the first population-based analysis assessing treatment regimens for axial Ewing sarcomas and their effects on cancer-specific survival and overall survival (OS).

Methods:

Data from 2004 to 2019 were collected for all patients aged 1 to 24 years from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Primary groups included pelvic tumors, thoracic tumors, and vertebral tumors. Chi-squared and Kaplan-Meier tests were used to assess associations between demographic variables, clinical and treatment characteristics, and patient survival.

Results:

Pelvic tumors were most common, and 49.7% received chemotherapy/radiation. Vertebral tumors were least common, and 56.7% received chemotherapy/surgery/radiation. 53.5% of thoracic tumors received chemotherapy/surgery. Surgery was most common for thoracic tumors (80.2%) and rare for pelvic tumors (38.9%). Radiation therapy was most common for vertebral tumors (83.6%) and least common for thoracic tumors (36.0%). Pelvic tumors exhibited the lowest OS (1-year, 5-year, and 10-year OS: 96%, 70%, and 59%), followed by thoracic tumors (1-year, 5-year, and 10-year OS: 97%, 79%, and 66%) and vertebral tumors (1-year, 5-year, and 10-year OS: 92%, 77%, and 68%).

Conclusion:

This study underpins the importance of both early detection and chemotherapy-based multimodal therapy in the treatment of axial Ewing sarcoma in a pediatric population. A comparatively large decline in OS was observed between 5 and 10 years for patients with thoracic tumors, and this cohort's 10-year OS has not improved when compared with a similar SEER cohort from 1973 to 2011. Despite a growing body of research supporting definitive radiation therapy, a notable portion of patients with pelvic Ewing sarcoma did not receive radiation, representing an unmet need for this population.

Chito-oligosaccharides: A mini-review on sources, production, and agricultural applications
Authors: Lárez-Velásquez Cristóbal , López Floralba
Published: July 2024

A concise review of the main current natural sources used to produce chitin—the starting material to produce chitooligosaccharides (COS)—is presented, including algae, arthropods, birds, fish, fungi, mollusks, and, possibly, plants. The principal approaches addressed to produce COSs, grouped as physical, chemical, and biological processes, are also outlined. Subsequently, the COS more relevant applications related to agriculture are briefly outlined, i.e., induction of innate immunity in plants, growth biostimulation, soil amending, biocidal activity, etc. Some interesting findings of this review are: (a) A clear relationship has been undoubtedly established between the low molecular weights (MWs) of these chitinous materials and their striking bioactivities. (b) There is no universal consensus about the limit MW below which a substance can be considered a COS, and some of the proposed limit values are supported in works that have not proposed them. (c) The preparation and application of COS is an active field of research due to the accessibility of chitin sources anywhere and the variety of preparation methods available, as well as the multiple possibilities of modification that these materials offer for the preparation of bioactive derivatives. (d) The chemical modification of the great number of existing COS by a wide range of agents and approaches, including computer simulation studies, is a virgin field that could generate products with powerful elicitor properties. (e) Biocidal activities of COSs, advantaged with their greater water solubilities than chitin and chitosan, are remarkably attractive due to the possibility of replacing, partial or completely, injurious synthetic products currently in use. Similarly, this review makes it possible to appreciate that the preparation and separation of COS with well-defined structures could boost the discovery of the specific regulatory mechanisms that each oligomer species can activate (or repress), that is, defense mechanisms in plants.
Semi-autonomous sensor fusion-based strategy for unmanned aerial atmospheric surveillance system in open field environments
Authors: Gorbounov Yassen , Dinchev Zahari , Peychinov Petar
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the convergence of semi-autonomous systems and sensor fusion for monitoring hazardous atmospheric substances in open and semi-confined environments such as open-pit mines. As the heart of this system, a universal and flexible device leveraging wireless technologies to collect and analyze large volumes of data, designed by the authors, is proposed. The article outlines the key components of the platform, emphasizing its potential for increasing personnel safety levels as stipulated by the international public exposure guidelines. In modern mines, it becomes crucial to monitor elevated concentrations of nitrogen and carbon oxides, as well as other pollutants after blasting and the toxic gas emissions produced by the heavy transportation equipment such as mining trucks and excavators. In this paper, industrial-grade electrochemical sensors are compared with price-affordable but less precise microelectrochemical ones. The performed experiments for lowering computational requirements show promising results. The integration of an ultrasonic anemometer enhances the system’s capabilities, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of atmospheric conditions. In parallel, the research discusses the role of computer vision in autonomous control systems, with a focus on the architecture and processing pipeline of the state-of-the-art system-on-module Kria by AMD. Advocating the potential of adaptive computing for enhanced efficiency in dynamic environments, the paper underlines the importance of the integrated approach in developing a semi-autonomous atmospheric surveillance system and highlights the impact of adaptive computing in dynamic scenarios. The main part of the measuring equipment and methods has been experimented with in real conditions in open-pit mines in Bulgaria. This is an initial phase of ongoing research aimed at serving as a foundation for future improvements and the elaboration of a fully autonomous prototype for hazardous substances evaluation in the atmosphere of open-pit mines.

Published: July 2024

Um dos grandes marcos de proteção a criança e ao adolescente foi a criação do Estatuto da criança e do Adolescente, que ocorreu no ano de 1990, sendo que tal consolidação inicia na Constituição Federal de 1988, haja vista que o menor é um sujeito que possui direitos e garantias, que tem caráter especial e de prioridade absoluta em situações de necessidade de aplicação das Medidas Protetivas e as Medidas Socioeducativas. Sendo assim, o objetivo levantado foi: proporcionar uma reflexão sobre as Medidas Protetivas e as Medidas Socioeducativas como forma de intervenção de proteção a criança e ao adolescente evitando, assim, a marginalização. Através das características da Doutrina da Proteção Integral, percebeu-se que é dever da família, da sociedade, da comunidade e do estado restabelecer o exercício do direito da criança que é ameaçado ou violado; que a política pública em benefício da criança deve ser descentralizada e focalizada no município, e que as crianças já não são mais pessoas incompletas, mas pessoas completas que possuem a particularidade de se encontrarem em desenvolvimento.

As microempresas são importantes para o desenvolvimento econômico local, e a gestão de pessoas é um fator crucial para o sucesso de qualquer organização. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar como é processo de gestão de pessoas nos microempreendimentos em Alenquer (PA). Para o presente trabalho foram aplicados questionários semiestruturados a 53 gestores de microempresas para responder ao objetivo da pesquisa. A pesquisa indicou que a maioria dos microempreendedores em Alenquer (PA) é composta de jovens com experiência prática na administração dos empreendimentos. Isso significa que a gestão de pessoas é marcada por paternalismo e afeto, e muitas vezes não há estratégias de gerenciamento de recursos humanos para tornar o ambiente de trabalho saudável e produtivo. Conclui-se que as microempresas, por falta de capacidade, relegam a segundo plano a gestão de pessoas, o que, consequentemente, prejudica o desenvolvimento da organização e das pessoas.

Their composition is discussed in the context of historic recipes and reference results from other contemporary telescopes.
New generalizations of the core and dual core inverses
Authors: Mosi\' c Dijana
Published: July 2024

In order to solve some systems of operator equations, we introduce two new classes of generalized inverses. Since we extend the concepts of the dual core and core inverses, these new inverses are called the {\it generalized dual core} (or GDC) {\it inverse} and the {\it generalized core} (or GC) {\it inverse}. Several equivalent conditions for an operator to be the GDC and GC inverses are established. Various representations for the GDC inverse, such as the canonical form and the most general form, are developed. We consider the relations between the GDC inverse and known generalized inverses. The GDC relation is defined and characterized in terms of the GDC inverse. Applying the GDC and GC inverses, we solve some systems of linear equations.

Published: July 2024

This study aimed to assess the vegetation changes and sustainability of the Wawa-Zange grazing reserve. The study reported the vegetation composition and changes through time (1975-2020) for the entire Wawa-Zange grazing reserve, one of the world's largest grazing reserves. Multi-temporal satellite imageries were acquired from the USGS Earth Explorer collection of Landsat data series and employed in this study. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) technique was used to delineate forest and non-forest areas. ArcMap was used to elucidate the transition of the reserve. The result obtained from the study showed that the reserve has changed, owing to the spread of agricultural boundaries, overgrazing, and deforestation. During the study period, the non-vegetation area expanded from 3.88 percent to 46.74 percent, while the agricultural area increased by 37 percent. This approximately 50 percent decline in vegetation cover indicates a significant decline in β-diversity at large spatial scales. It was observed that by 2030, the reserve could lose 67% of its vegetation cover. To stop land conversion and unsustainable agricultural practices, strict legislative frameworks and regulations should be implemented. Sustainable land management techniques like agroforestry and reforestation should also be encouraged.

Authors: Serіkqyzy М. , Kabadayı O.
Published: July 2024

Since society began to develop rapidly, a person's life habits have also changed. Such a change has led to a change in the wording system of our language, as a result of which it has become a copy language that repeats the elements of a different language, which involves only the exchange of information. Therefore, it is important to show the norms and patterns of traditional wording, while maintaining the substantive nature of our language. Fairy tales are one of the oldest folklore genres, which has not changed, spreading among the population by word of mouth. Their influence on the development of a child's language and the maturation of imagination has been proven by scientists. The purpose of the research work is to identify traditional Kazakh wording patterns in the language of fairy tales. Kazakh fairy tales collected by A. Divayev were taken as the object of study. During the writing of the article, a linguo-stylistic analysis was carried out, sentence construction, transmission of complex phrasal integrity, internal/external relationship of the text, system were considered, as a result of which criteria were determined that serve as an example for the Kazakh wording in the fairy tale text. The scientific significance of the research work is the definition of traditional grammatical, ethical, communicative norms of the Kazakh language, practical significance is recommended as an application for students of philology, linguistics, journalism, Kazakh language learners.

Syncretism at various levels of text organization is one of the features of the modern Kazakh novel. Noting the specificity of the syncretism of speech styles in the poetics of Rollan Seisenbayev's novel “The dead wander in the desert,” the authors introduce the concept of stylistic “patchwork”. The goal is to analyze the elements of different speech styles incorporated into the structure of the work using the stylistic “patchwork” method, from the point of view of their role in the creation of artistic reality as well as the reflection of the moral and philosophical concept of the novel about an environmental disaster. This approach to the study of this novel is new, since it was not reflected in the papers of researchers of R. Seisenbayev's works. Within the framework of a formal approach to the analysis of a literary text, the structural-semiotic method and the method of stylistic analysis of the text are used, with the help of which the features and functions of the stylistic “patchwork” are revealed as an artistic method that forms the author’s picture of the world. It was also revealed that through the introduction of elements of colloquial, scientific and official business styles into the novel, the participation of representatives of three spheres of life in solving the Aral problem is demonstrated: people who suffered, the scientific community discussing the state of the Aral, the government bodies ignoring the problem. The elements of the text of journalistic and artistic styles reflect two types of sources of information and two types of truth: the media, which have lost the trust of the people; literary texts and scripture as a source of timeless truth and prophecy about the fate of humanity. The artistic method of stylistic “patchwork” identified in Seisenbayev's novel can be used in Kazakh postmodern literary works and requires further research.

The main idea of the study is to determine the toponymic portrait, geographical image of Kazakh villages of the last period of colonization of Kazakh lands of the Russian Empire through historical and chronicle, toponymic data and to substantiate that these lands are indigenous ancestral homeland, which have been owned and migrated by Kazakh tribes since time immemorial.

The paper aims to determine the toponymic image, linguistic content, ethno-cultural semantics in the content of microtoponyms of the northern, north-eastern historical region of Kazakhstan in the period of the late XIX-early XX century. The relevance of the research is due to the need to substantiate toponymic data indicating that this region has been inhabited by Kazakh clans and tribes since ancient times and is their ancestral territory.

The novelty and scientific value of the topic of the paper – name motivation in the semantics of microtoponyms of the studied area, cultural information embedded in the open language code and closed code is determined by the description of folk knowledge in the semantics of names. The analysis of the semantics of microtoponyms with the participation of the tree indicator revealed its ethno-cultural potential.

In the course of the research, traditional methods of systematization, description of linguistic material, historical and factual interpretation were used. The type of rational, irrational (mythological) knowledge in the content of toponyms was also demonstrated.

The hermeneutic method will be effective for analyzing historical and linguistic data. The future prospects of the study are substantiated, and most importantly, it follows from historical sources that onomastic names (toponyms, anthroponyms, patronyms, patronyms, genonyms) in all historical regions of Kazakhstan should be collected and inventoried. In the future it was concluded that it is necessary to create, digitize the database of geographical names in word, excel format from historical sources and old cards in pdf (photo) format, to include in the database Onomastic subcorpus of the "National Corpus of the Kazakh Language".
