Cognitive assessment in acute care following traumatic brain injury: A scoping review of performance-based tests
Authors: Goodchild Katherine , Fleming Jennifer , Copley Jodie
Published: December 2024

It is recommended that the assessment of cognitive function by occupational therapists is best conducted by observing the performance of everyday tasks in real-life environments. Given the constraints of acute care settings, selecting the appropriate cognition assessment for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be challenging. A scoping review was used to explore the evidence for occupation-based assessments of cognition for use with patients with TBI and explore their clinical applicability for the acute setting. Assessments were included if they focused on performance-based tests using real-life or simulated activities of daily living (ADL) or instrumental ADL tasks. From 29 identified articles, 18 occupation-based assessments of cognition were reported for use in patients with TBI. They varied in terms of time and resources required to administer, complexity, and variety of assessments. This review highlights a range of assessments of cognitive function available to patients with TBI in acute care, which support occupational therapists to use an occupation-centered approach. Issues faced by occupational therapists assessing cognitive function in the acute care setting include time and environmental constraints. A small number of portable, contemporary, and performance-based assessments relevant to younger adults warrant further investigation to determine their feasibility for use in acute care.
Layer porosity in powder-bed fusion prediction using regression machine learning models and time-series features
Authors: Mahato Vivek , Chatterjee Suman , Nyabadza Anesu , Caputo Annalina , Brabazon Dermot
Published: December 2024

Additive manufacturing (AM) using laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF) has become a common industrial process for high-end component production. The uptake of the process has been accelerated through the broad acceptance of the L-PBF process toward achieving high-quality parts with complex geometry. However, the L-PBF process faces challenges from the process’s sensitivity to the process build parameters, which, when incorrectly set, can cause defects such as porosity, which in turn have a detrimental effect on the produced part properties. On the other hand, the AM processing equipment generates a vast amount of data captured through in situ sensors such as pyrometers and imaging cameras. Having such an abundance of process data facilitates the employment of advanced machine learning (ML) tools to understand and extract patterns and information about the underlying AM process and gain “predictive control.” Driven by this idea, we aimed to employ ML tools over pyrometer time-series data from an L-PBF process to predict the porosity percentage of layers of an AM-built part. Sensor data are naturally modeled by time series; however, most ML algorithms work with tabular data (i.e., one single vector describes a feature). In the work presented here, feature engineering tools were used to transform the time-series data into informative features. These features were fed into the tabular ML algorithms for evaluation, broadening the selection of ML algorithms available in the literature. It was hypothesized that the time-series summary features would capture the interaction of melt-pool temperature with resulting porosity, from which the resulting models could better predict porosity occurrence. The dataset contains layer porosity values in the range of 0.00175 – 7.160%, to which we divide the data into “low” and “high” porous layers using a splitting threshold value of 1%. From evaluating these algorithms, it was concluded that classifying “low” versus “high” porosity layers is relatively easier than predicting the layer’s porosity percentage.

Authors: MARUSHCHAK A. , PETROV S.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the EU and US legal mechanisms for detecting and blocking russian disinformation in social networks. It was concluded that the EU is strengthening measures of legal response to illegal actions regarding disinformation spread by russian government. It is noted that the provisions on disinformation contained in the EU Code of Practice on Disinformation, the European Act on Media Freedom, and the European Act on Artificial Intelligence should be reflected in Ukrainian legislation. The terms of use of major online platforms are designed based on a liberal approach to freedom of speech and the fight against the spread of misinformation in the United States. However, the given examples of the removal of disinformation content by private companies located in the USA proved the need to develop legal mechanisms for direct communication with large online platforms to counter Russian disinformation.

Authors: VEITS A.
Published: December 2024

The article examines the peculiarities of investigating cybercrimes committed in a military environment. It emphasizes the threat of criminal activity in the military cyberspace as a major factor negatively impacting critical information infrastructure, particularly state governance systems, essential services, energy, transportation, nuclear and chemical industries, and the banking sector. The article identifies and analyzes factors that complicate the pre-trial investigation process, including limited capabilities for documenting the scene of the cybercrime and the evidence collected, the risk to the personal safety of investigators and law enforcement representatives during investigative activities in areas of active hostilities, the presence of a specialized entity committing the criminal offense, and potential resistance from military unit commanders in cases of improper execution of their duties that facilitated the commission of the crime by their subordinates. Special attention is given to finding solutions to these problematic issues, resulting in the formulation of proposals aimed at improving the quality of investigations into criminal offenses in military settings committed in cyberspace. The article outlines the prospects for further research in this area, which include the continued development of methodologies and standards for conducting investigative activities considering the specifics of military cyberspace, forecasting the implications of implementing  international  practices,  particularly  from  NATO  member  countries,  into domestic forensic technologies, as well as enhancing technological innovations to improve the quality of investigations into criminal offenses in military environments committed in cyberspace.

Authors: Corbellini Heineck Amanda , Farias Tarouco Fabricio
Published: December 2024

Home offices são espaços de trabalho estruturados nos lares de vários profissionais que, segundo uma concepção preestabelecida no imaginário popular, configura-se basicamente por uma mesa, uma cadeira e um computador, onde o profissional pode desenvolver suas atividades laborais. Com outro olhar, este estudo vem promover a desconstrução desse pensamento, buscando um novo conceito de home office para os profissionais da indústria criativa. Utiliza-se, como método de pesquisa, os procedimentos de Massimo Canevacci descritos no estudo A Cidade Polifônica, na qual se desenvolve três etapas: a primeira concentra-se no mapeamento de profissionais que trabalham em home office; a segunda consiste na observação de contextos selecionados, com análise e interpretação dos dados; e, por fim, a terceira etapa caracteriza-se pela proposição de diretrizes projetuais. Para complementar, realizou-se uma fase de experimentação projetual em que se busca aplicar os conhecimentos gerados na concepção de um novo conceito de home office, que vem a ser o de lar-ateliê. A partir dessa construção, desenvolve-se uma representação visual de modelos de ambientes para dez segmentos profissionais. As constatações alcançadas possibilitaram a verificação de diversas variáveis e configurações possíveis de espaços residenciais-laborais.

arquitetura do Colégio Sant’Ana
Authors: Sgarbossa Gabriela Kratsch
Published: December 2024

A expressão da arquitetura neocolonial é desenvolvida no Brasil durante as primeiras décadas do século XX, como resposta à modernização da sociedade e valorização de uma identidade nacional. A linguagem foi adotada pela sociedade, assumindo importância na elaboração de projetos de arquitetura escolar, que reforçavam o ideal de desenvolvimento, mas de maneira conservadora. Desta maneira, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar o projeto do Colégio Sant’Ana, localizado em Ponta Grossa, que atende aos princípios da arquitetura neocolonial. O projeto foi elaborado pelo arquiteto Georg Przyrembel, reconhecido por ser um dos dois arquitetos que expôs na Semana de Arte Moderna de 1922. O arquiteto elaborou muitos projetos para ordens religiosas, um deles o colégio citado. Assim, os métodos utilizados para esse trabalho se basearam no levantamento bibliográfico para construção de um referencial teórico e na análise de documentos, para identificação da arquitetura proposta por Przyrembel. Apesar de identificado como arquitetura neocolonial, o projeto possui elementos diluídos, próprios para uma arquitetura elaborada já no final da expressão e para uma cidade de pequeno porte no interior do estado. A linguagem adotada também se associa ao ideal cristão da congregação que contratou o projeto, demonstrando os ideais de ordem e disciplina.

Published: December 2024

The investigation of automotive aerodynamics involves analysing several forces operating on a car while driving on the road, such as drag and lift forces. The flow separation at the vehicle's rear end is one of the primary causes of aerodynamic drag for automobile vehicles. It is feasible to improve fuel efficiency by lowering the drag force. The study focuses on the influence of a vortex generator (VG) on the aerodynamics of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) car. The study aims to simulate fluid flow analysis for an SUV car that uses VG and without VG, as well as to assess the impact of a different configuration of VG and a varying number and fillet radius of VG. The number of VG are 3, 5, and 9. The different fillet radius of VG are 5, 10, and 15 mm. Using the Reynold-Averaged Navier Stokes Equation (RANS) in the numerical simulation, the Reynolds number at the computational domain is 1.1391 × 107 and 1.4808 × 107, which is determined by the height of the model and the freestream velocity. The results show that aerodynamic characteristics are significantly influenced by the number of VG and various size radius fillets of VG. From the result, 9 number of VG and 5 mm fillet radius obtained the lowest value of coefficient of drag, Cd compared with the others which is Cd = 0.3747 for 27.78 m/s and Cd = 0.5031 for 33.33 m/s, respectively. Furthermore, the analysis of flow structures suggested the locations of vortex formation and wake turbulence at the rear of the vehicle. In contrast, the 9 number of VG with a 5 mm radius fillet of VG emerged as the most suitable VG for this scenario, exhibiting a Cd value closest to the base model and the lowest Cd value.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of the current study was to study the impact of dietary supplementation of various levels of vitamin E and inorganic selenium (Sodium selenite) on daily egg weight, egg mass and egg production, accumulative egg per hen per week, final body weight gain for males, and feed conversion in both males and females of Japanese quail birds (Coturnix coturnix japonica). The study was conducted in the nutritional laboratory at the Veterinary Techniques Department/ Kalar Technical Institute /Garmian Polytechnic University in the Iraqi Kurdistan region for eight weeks from Apr 15 2021 to Jul 15 2021. In this study 128 birds (12 weeks old) were employed, they were raised in a cage system, measuring 50 width inches x 60 lengths inches × 60 height inches. Four supplemented dietary treatments from the experimental birds were designed as different levels of food regimens, and then each treatment was subdivided equally into eight replicated cages. The used experimental diets were: 0 = the basal diet (control) with no additions, T1 = 1.0-gram vitamin E and selenium mixture/kg diet, T2 = 1.5-gram vitamin E and selenium mixture/kg diet, T3 = 2-gram vitamin E and Selenium mixture/kg diet. As a result of this study, egg production (HD%/week), egg accumulation (eggs per hen per week), egg mass (gram per day), feed intake (gram per day), and feed conversion ratio (kilogram feed per kilogram egg) were altered significantly (P<0.01). Whereas, egg weight (g) and final body weight (g) for males were not significantly impacted (P>0.01). In conclusion, it was shown that vitamin E and sodium selenite were effective supplementary nutrients for enhancing the reproductive performance of Japanese quail hens, so it is recommended to use this diet in different poultry farms in order to increase some productive and reproductive features levels.

The liver consists of two large parts: The right lobe with a length (0.13±35.13) mm, and the left lobe with a length (0.3 3±28.50) mm and is characterized with a reddish-brown colour. The gallbladder is located at the visceral side of the right lobe of the liver, its length is (0.38±12.38) mm and its width is (0.31 ±5.88) mm. Further, it appears in oval or pear shape and has green colour; it consists of the head, body and neck. The liver parenchyma consists of hepatocyte cells arranged in the form of cords known as hepatic cords arranged radially towards the central vein, spread within the parenchyma of the liver portal area, surrounded by connective tissue. Besides, it includes the hepatic portal area, branch hepatic artery, bile duct lymphatic vessels, which are scattered within the connective tissue surrounding the portal area. The gallbladder consists of the mucous tunic consisting of elongated columnar cells with basal oval nuclei located, below them is the lamina propria, then a layer of smooth muscle fibers arranged to form the tunica muscularis, followed by the tunica serousa or adventitia, which consists of loose connective tissue.

The present study was designed to investigate the normal histological features of the stomach at the prenatal stage from ten healthy pregnant rabbits at the third period of pregnancy. The stomach appeared as J-shaped situated at the left part of the abdominal cavity. It found in the front part entirely within the rib. The non-glandular region act as a reservoir, the septa prevented ingesta reflux into the esophagus. Histologically the stomach in both periods composed of four tunics', which were mucosa, tunica submucosa, tunica muscularis and tunica serosa. The stomach also has different regions cardiac, fundic and pyloric regions, glands in the cardiac region were coiled branched tubular gland and almost present of the mucous cells with a few chief cells. In the fundic region the glands in this part were long and simple tubular. There are four secretory cell types: mucous cells, chief cells, parietal cells and endocrine cells, glands in the pyloric region were branched coiled tubular glands which opened at the pits of the pyloric part. The mucous-secreting cell always persists, the pyloric sphincter muscle found as thickened muscle in the pyloric duodenal junction. With PAS stain reaction gave a positive reaction for Cardiac and pyloric glands secretion which indicates the present of neutral mucopolysaccharides. In conclusion, it was found that the histomorphological features of the stomach in prenatal period embryos at the third stage of pregnancy of rabbit it was changed according to the age and food intake after birth.

The enforcement of legal measures against the misuse of registration plates on two-wheeled vehicles has become a critical concern in Indonesia's traffic system. This issue is exacerbated by the increasing number of violations leading to erroneous electronic fines (e-tickets), undermining public trust in the legal system. According to 2023 data from the Indonesian National Police, over 500 cases of counterfeit license plate usage resulted in misdirected e-tickets. This study examines the enforcement of laws addressing the misuse of vehicle registration plates under Law No. 22 of 2009 on Road Traffic and Transportation. It focuses on identifying weaknesses in the current legal framework and ensuring the application of justice in cases of misallocated fines. Employing a normative juridical approach, this research analyzes existing regulations and evaluates relevant cases. The findings indicate that such misuse contravenes Articles 280 and 288 of Law No. 22 of 2009, which stipulate compliance with technical specifications and legality in vehicle registration. However, enforcement efforts face challenges such as inadequate monitoring tools and the lack of integrated vehicle data systems. This study recommends enhancing the data verification processes in e-ticketing systems and fostering stronger collaboration between law enforcement and related agencies to address these issues. Such measures aim to improve legal accountability and ensure equitable traffic supervision. By tackling these systemic shortcomings, the research contributes to restoring public confidence in traffic law enforcement and promoting a more effective legal framework for road safety in Indonesia.

Introduction: Since its isolation in the UK, the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant has become an epidemic. This study aimed to decipher the viral appearance and genomic characterization of the Delta variant isolated from patients in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
Methodology: Samples were collected from the West Erbil Emergency Hospital, and infection by SARS-CoV2 was confirmed using Real-Time PCR. The sequenced samples were analyzed and compared to the previously published data on Delta variants.
Results: The analysis showed that the variant belongs to SARS-CoV2 Delta variant B.1.617.2, including most of the previously detected mutations in India. The variant includes 13 mutations (11 substitutions and 2 deletions) on the spike region. Some substitutions are the same as the previous Delta isolate (T19R, G142D, T478K, D614G, L452R, P681R, and D950N). However, other substitutions (E156G, T250I, T19A, and L861W) were unique in the spike protein of the Delta variant (EPI_ISL_7405941) found in the Iraq variants.
Conclusions: The impact of the novel mutations needs more study, but the common ones are shown to enhance transmission and escape from immunity. Future studies need to focus on the impact of the different vaccines in the Kurdish population on the Delta variant and the effect of the novel mutations on transmissibility and escape from immunity.
Misdiagnosis of a fungus ball in the middle ear as chronic suppurative otitis media
Authors: Yang Yuan-Yuan , Guo Lian-Rong
Published: December 2024

Background: Middle ear infections caused by fungi are commonly identified through laboratory tests like fungal smears, culture, and DNA detection. There are two types of ear infections caused by fungi: middle ear fungal infections and fungal otitis media. Both fungal otitis media and fungus balls in the middle ear are increasingly rare.
Case Description: A middle-aged immunocompetent woman suffered from long-term recurrent pus formation in the middle ear and associated hearing loss. Physical examination revealed a perforation in the pars tensa of the tympanic membrane; a pure tone audiometry test revealed mild conductive hearing loss. The woman had previously self-medicated with oral antibiotics and/or ear drops multiple times in the past. She did not have a history of diabetes mellitus. She was diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media and surgical treatment (tympanoplasty) was advised. Otoscopy-guided tympanoplasty revealed a fungal mass with a cheese-like consistency filling the entire mesotympanum, and important structures such as the ossicular chain and the facial nerve were unharmed. Lesions were meticulously excised from the tympanic cavity of the affected ear. The patient no longer experienced pus formation in the middle ear and loss of hearing was restored after the surgery. After tympanoplasty, the patient did not experience any symptom recurrence during the 10-month follow-up period.
Conclusions: If a patient has good immune function and no history of diabetes mellitus, despite repeated antibiotic use resulting in a diagnosis of chronic otitis media, doctors should consider the possibility of a fungal infection in the middle ear.
D’une révolution l’autre
Authors: Ebguy Jacques-David
Published: December 2024

Cet article examine la manière (convergente ou divergente) dont deux philosophes « marxistes » ou « post-marxistes », Pierre Macherey et Jacques Rancière, ont lu Balzac, depuis « Pour une théorie de la production littéraire (Macherey, 1966) jusqu’aux Bords de la fiction (Rancière, 2017). Il s’efforce à la fois de situer ces lectures « philosophiques » par rapport à la perspective de Marx ou de Georg Lukács, et de dégager les traits du texte balzacien qu’elles dessinent. Après avoir exposé les conflits de logiques et de régimes d’écriture qui, aux yeux de nos philosophes, produisent le roman balzacien, notre texte s’intéresse à la nature de la révolution formelle dont il témoigne selon eux. Un bilan comparé et plus global permet enfin de définir les gestes de lecture de Macherey et de Rancière et la manière dont ils requalifient le texte balzacien, son fonctionnement et ses effets, sensibles, cognitifs et politiques.

L’ensemble des fossiles d’hominines d’Afrique ne comptant que quelques milliers d’éléments et la grande majorité n’étant que des dents isolées et de petits fragments d’os souvent récupérés dans un contexte peu documenté, il est difficile de reconstruire une image précise de l’évolution humaine au cours des derniers millions d’années. La nature fragmentaire du registre fossile donne souvent lieu à des débats stériles sur ce qui ne sont que des différences anatomiques mineures sur quelques os fossilisés. Cependant, les découvertes récentes améliorent considérablement ces données, en quantité comme en qualité, ce qui nous permet de mieux comprendre le processus et le rythme de l’évolution humaine, et nous oblige à réévaluer des hypothèses de longue date sur la diversité des espèces dans le passé. Grâce à la découverte de ces restes plus complets, y compris des squelettes partiels, et à notre capacité à les dater plus précisément, la possibilité de mieux comprendre l’évolution des hominines n’a jamais été aussi grande même si bien des défis restent à relever.

Les plus anciennes preuves de la présence d’hominines en Asie : des artefacts lithiques vieux de 2,1 millions d’années provenant de Chine Nous évoquons ici un ensemble d’artefacts lithiques découverts dans une longue séquence d’unités de loess et de paléosols à Shangchen (district de Lantian, province de Shaanxi, Chine), daté de 2,1 à 1,5 Ma. Les plus anciens de la série sont plus vieux que les restes d’hominines et les outils lithiques du site de Dmanissi, en Géorgie, qui sont datés de 1,78 à 1,95 Ma, et considérablement plus anciens que les artefacts du site de Majuangou 3 (bassin de Nihewan, Chine du Nord) datés d’environ 1,66 Ma. Quant au crâne d’hominine du site de Lantian-Gongwangling, il est désormais daté à 1,63 Ma, et non plus à 1,15 Ma comme ce fut longtemps le cas. Dans ce contexte, les découvertes de Shangchen sont importantes parce qu’elles prouvent que les hominines s’étaient déjà dispersés à travers l’Asie continentale vers 2,1 Ma – bien plus tôt que ce que l’on pensait auparavant.
