Artificial Intelligence (AI): Evolution, Methodologies, and Applications
Authors: Shrivastava Dr. Anurag
Published: May 2024

Abstract: Artificial intelligence, also known as AI, is a technology that enables computers and machines to emulate human intelligence and problem-solving abilities. Computers can perform a wide range of advanced functions thanks to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. These functions include the ability of machines to see, comprehend, and translate spoken and written language, analyzing data, making recommendations, and more. Artificial intelligence is considered a field of computer science that encompasses other areas like machine learning and deep learning, data analytics, linguistics, software engineering, and so on. These disciplines often involve the development of AI algorithms that are based on the decision-making processes of the human brain, that has the ability to learn and memorize from existing data and allows more precise classifications or predictions over a period of time. AI is the foundation for innovation in modern computing, discovering the value for both individuals and businesses. For illustration, AI is used to extricate content and information from pictures and documents, turns unstructured content into business-ready structured data, and unlocks valuable insights. AI has the ability to perform tasks that would otherwise require human intelligence or intervention, when combined with other technologies such as sensors, and robotics. It is used in many areas of life, including education, finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. Here are some examples of AI in different areas: Facial detection and recognition, Text editors, Digital assistants, Self-driving cars, and many more.

Published: May 2024

Abstract: Cyberbullying has emerged as a significant issue in today's social media landscape, posing various detrimental effects. The combination of photo sharing and text comments has exacerbated the severity of cyberbullying incidents. Automated detection tools are crucial for ensuring the health and security of these platforms. However, traditional approaches that analyze text and images separately may fail toidentify all instances of cyberbullying, especially whenseemingly innocent content conveys bullying messages when posted together. This research proposes a novel system that extracts combined features from text and images to identify diverse cases of cyberbullying. The system can extract profiles based on behavior and uncover latent ties between users and groups with similar behaviors. Our approach utilizes methods log mining, business analysis, complex networks, and graph theory to achieve this. This paper outlines the entire process, from log file analysis to the construction of the user graph, witha particular focus on the step known as The finding of user behavioral patterns.

Published: May 2024

Road traffic pollution and industrial plant-induced pollution affect negatively the development of forest trees. How forest trees are affected by their growing environment is important for sustainable environment. The study aimed to investigate the physical, mechanical, chemical, and morphological properties of the Pinus nigra (black pine) tree which grows under different conditions. Tree samples were chosen from three different lands where were inside the forest (O), near the roadside (Y), and near the factory (F). It was studied whether there were any significant differences among the “O”, “Y” and “F” in terms of their wood properties such as physical, mechanical, chemical, and morphological. As a result, the “O” samples demonstrated more regular annual ring structure. On the other hand, it was observed that the “Y” samples had longer and wider tracheid cells. In addition, “Y” samples had better mechanical strength than “O” and “F”. Environmental pollution caused the presence of some different elements (chlorine and iron) in “Y” and “F”. As a result, it was determined that the trees growing near the roadside or near industrial plants have significant differences from forest trees which are far away from pollutions. It is possible to say that Pinus nigra (black pine) is resistant to environmental stress. For this reason, it can be recommended to use it as a barrier to reduce air pollution on the roadsides.

Relational superposition measurements with a material quantum ruler
Authors: Wang Hui , Giacomini Flaminia , Nori Franco , Blencowe Miles P.
Published: May 2024

In physics, it is crucial to identify operational measurement procedures to give physical meaning to abstract quantities. There has been significant effort to define time operationally using quantum systems, but the same has not been achieved for space. Developing an operational procedure to obtain information about the location of a quantum system is particularly important for a theory combining general relativity and quantum theory, which cannot rest on the classical notion of spacetime. Here, we take a first step towards this goal, and introduce a model to describe an extended material quantum system working as a position measurement device. Such a "quantum ruler" is composed of N harmonically interacting dipoles and serves as a (quantum) reference system for the position of another quantum system. We show that we can define a quantum measurement procedure corresponding to the "superposition of positions", and that by performing this measurement we can distinguish when the quantum system is in a coherent or incoherent superposition in the position basis. The model is fully relational, because the only meaningful variables are the relative positions between the ruler and the system, and the measurement is expressed in terms of an interaction between the measurement device and the measured system.

Published: May 2024

Background Flares of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and a few
cases of new-onset IBD have been reported after mRNA-based COVID-19
vaccines. Reports are scarce with viral vector and inactivated COVID-19
vaccines. Methods Patients diagnosed with ‘flares’ and
new-onset IBD after receiving ChAdox1-nCoV-19 and inactivated COVID-19
vaccines were recruited from April–July 2022 from the Gastroenterology
department of a tertiary hospital of North India. Clinical presentation,
colonoscopy findings, treatment, and outcomes were recorded.
Results A total of 44 patients were identified. 28 patients had
flares of IBD at a median interval of 8.1, 13.2, and 2 weeks since the
first, second, and booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines respectively. 16
new-onset cases of IBD occurred at a median interval respectively of
4.8, 9, and 17.8 weeks after the first, second, and booster doses. The
majority of the cases occurred after the second dose of ChAdOx1-nCoV-19.
With oral amino-salicylic acid (ASA), ASA enema, and systemic steroids,
improvement was seen in the majority at a median follow-up of 26-30
weeks. 14 patients had persistent health issues (median follow-up of
73-75 weeks). Conclusion New-onset IBD and exacerbations can
occur after 1-3 months of COVID-19 vaccines. Extended surveillance of
vaccinated individuals is required to understand the incidence and
course of late-onset adverse events and molecular studies are warranted
to understand their immunological basis.
Análisis de calidad de agua de acueductos rurales y su relación con la salud pública en el Valle del Cauca
Authors: Puerta Monsalve Astrid Lili , Sanchez Lina Marcela
Published: May 2024

La calidad del agua para consumo humano en Colombia se evalúa a través de la Resolución 2115 de 2007, la cual mide el Índice de Riesgo de Calidad de Agua (IRCA). En algunos acueductos rurales de Colombia este índice no se cumple, lo que evidencia inadecuadas condiciones de saneamiento básico. De allí la importancia de realizar estudios para verificar los sistemas de tratamiento, el cumplimiento de la normativa y el plantear alternativas de solución. Dado lo anterior, se plantea ¿Cuál es la calidad del agua de los acueductos del Valle del Cauca? y ¿Existe relación con los reportes de enfermedades asociadas al agua como la Enfermedad Diarreica Aguda (EDA)?; teniendo como objetivo analizar la calidad de agua de los acueductos del Valle del Cauca mediante los reportes de IRCA y EDA. Metodológicamente, se revisaron los reportes de IRCA y EDA de la Secretaría de Salud Departamental, a través del Sistema de Información para la Vigilancia del Agua (SIVICAP) y Sistema Nacional de Vigilancia en Salud Pública (SIVIGILA) para los periodos 2007 - 2015 y 2015 – 2017, respectivamente. Esta información se analizó en Microsoft Excel, verificando que los datos de EDA existen a nivel municipal y de IRCA a nivel urbano, rural y municipal. Los municipios del Valle del Cauca con mayor reporte de EDA son La Cumbre, Yotoco, Trujillo, El Dovio y Ginebra y para el IRCA municipal los valores altos se observan en Ansermanuevo, Argelia, El Águila, El Cairo y Vijes. El IRCA rural presenta mayor valor que el IRCA urbano, y por tanto, mayor riesgo de contaminación. Este aspecto se analizó con la realización de encuestas en 17 acueductos del Valle del Cauca y muestreos de agua en dos acueductos rurales en un municipio seleccionado. Los resultados muestran que de acuerdo con la normativa, los acueductos rurales entrevistados y analizados no cumplen con las condiciones óptimas de saneamiento básico.
Control of Cardiac Biomarkers Concentrations, Central Hemodynamics and Their Correlation During Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Authors: K Namazova
Published: May 2024

We did not observe high values of cardiac markers and changes in central hemodynamic parameters in patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding (AGIB) and a correlation between them, this led to the decision to conduct a study. Clinical materials of 457 patients diagnosed with GIB were analyzed. Cardiac pathology was detected in 150 patients. Dynamic changes in cardiac biomarkers and central hemodynamic indicators in patients were studied in 3 stages. Phase I, period included in ICU; Stage II - 24 hours after admission to the ICU; the third stage covers the next 48 hours. The concentration troponin, BNP, myoglobin and CK-Mb was studied in the patients and it was found that although the concentration of these biomarkers was high in the first stage, these concentrations decreased and reached normal levels in the later stages of the dynamics against the background of the treatment. Dynamic changes of central hemodynamic indicators (CHI): stroke volume, cardiac minute volume, peripheral vascular resistance and myocardial oxygen demand were studied in 3 stages. It was found that although SV was low, it dynamically increased in the later stages and did not reach the normal level. This is a clear example of continued hypovolemia. Peripheral vascular resistance (PVR) from blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract was greater than normal in all three phases. PVR remained high and was statistically honest because the volume of circulating blood was not fully corrected despite the treatments. Also, the correlation between central hemodynamic indicators and cardiac markers was studied, showing that in stage I, there is a strong contrast between CMV and CK-MB; Strong straight between PVR and BNP; In stage II, strong contrast between CMV and BNP; Strongly flat between PVR and CK-MB; In stage III, the average level is between CMV and myoglobin; We proved that there is a moderate inverse correlation between PVR and cTn and it is statistically honest. Thus, although CHI was slightly less than the norm in the initial period, it normalized in the later stages, but PVR remained high in all stages. This caused a sharp increase in PVR as a compensatory response to the decrease in circulating blood volume during acute GIB. Among the cardiac markers, we associate the rise of troponin during the bleeding period with damage to postanemic, hypoxic myocardial muscles. Among the cardiac markers, a sharp increase in BNP is an indicator of the development of left ventricular failure and is associated with a sharp increase in PVR, and we also proved that there is a strong direct relationship between them.

Authors: Hussien Ayman Esmail
Published: May 2024

Background: A study was conducted to investigate the use of levofloxacin, azithromycin, and oseltamivir in the treatment of COVID-19 Omicron. The results showed that this combination therapy reduced hospital stays, improved survival rates, cleared lung pathological changes faster, and reduced the need for invasive mechanical ventilation. Omicron is a highly infectious variant of the coronavirus that has caused a global surge in cases. The WHO is currently assessing the effectiveness of various medications against Omicron, including monoclonal antibody therapy and antiviral drugs. The choice of oseltamivir in this study was based on its success in managing COVID-19. Levofloxacin and azithromycin were included in the treatment protocol due to their effectiveness in treating pneumonia caused by COVID-19. Many hospitals have adopted this treatment protocol. Results: Analysis of forty patients included time spent in the hospital, survival rate, enhanced clearance of lung pathological changes, and requirements for invasive mechanical ventilation. Conclusions: combination therapy significantly improved patient outcomes, evidenced by shorter hospital stays (average of 6.05 days for the treated group vs. 33.68 days for the control group), faster clearance of lung pathology within 1 to 2 months, and increased survival rates. The treatment also reduced the need for invasive mechanical ventilation.

Published: May 2024

Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengukur tingkat literasi sains siswa SMA, untuk mengetahui hambatan utama yang dihadapi oleh siswa dalam meningkatkan literasi sains, serta untuk menentukan bagaimana peranan guru dalam meningkatkan literasi sains siswa. Metode pada penelitian yaitu deskriptif kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan yaitu berupa tes tertulis dan wawancara informal dengan salah satu guru biologi dan soal literasi sains yang diisi oleh siswa di salah satu SMA Kota Serang sebanyak 47 siswa. Teknis analisis data yang digunakan adalah konten analisis. Rata-rata nilai literasi sains yang didapat peserta didik secara keseluruhan yaitu 69,19 % dan termasuk kriteria cukup. Hal ini terlihat dari cukup baiknya kemampuan peserta didik dalam melakukan identifikasi isu ilmiah, menjelaskan fenomena ilmiah, serta menentukan bukti ilmiah yang menyebabkan isu tersebut terjadi. Siswa belum terbiasa menjawab pertanyaan yang menuntut mereka untuk memahami serta menganalisis, hal ini dikarenakan soal evaluasi yang siapkan guru lebih banyak menuntut peserta didik dalam mengingat materi yang sudah dipelajari. Hal tersebut didukung oleh hasil wawancara bersama salah satu guru biologi di salah satu SMA Kota Serang yang mana tingkat literasi sains yang dimiliki peserta didik masih berada pada kriteria rendah serta sikap siswa pada literasi masih cenderung acuh dan malas. Sehingga perlu adanya peningkatan dan pengembangan kegiatan pembelajaran di kelas oleh guru untuk meningkatkan lietrasi sains siswa. Salah satunya dengan konsep pencemaran lingkungan menggunakan model pembelajaran inovatif dan kolaboratif.

The Private Dental Practice in Kyiv, Ukraine: ISO 9001:2015 Certification and Recertifiсation Procedures in 2022-2024
Authors: Nagorniak Ivan
Published: May 2024

The development and improvement of the reputation of a private dental practice (PDP) is inextricably linked not only with the provision of dental care to the population, but also with compliance with the best international standards. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the procedure for passing certification and recertification ISO 9001:2015 (ISO 9001) by a PDP in Kyiv, Ukraine. ISO 9001 is a globally recognized standard for quality management developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The passing of these certifications in Ukraine is of particular interest because they took place under the audit of the certification body from the European Union and in the conditions of the highest complexity, namely the large-scale war of the terrorist state (i.e., Russian Federation) against the Ukrainian state. Our PDP was registered in 2016 and has the legal form of an individual entrepreneur. Individual entrepreneur (transliteration from Ukrainian, fizychna osoba-pidpryiemets [FOP]) can also be called as private entrepreneur, sole proprietor, and physical person-entrepreneur. The main economic activity of the presented PDP is stomatological practice (i.e., dental practice). Even though our PDP provides the entire range of dental procedures, its main orientation is oral implantology. The audits and ISO 9001:2015 certifications were conducted in 2022-2024. Detailed data on the completion of two audits is provided and analyzed. The original certificates in two languages, English and Ukrainian, have been added to the article for clarity. The publication also provides step-by-step instructions for checking whether an ISO 9001:2015 certificate is valid on the Internet for both PDP owners and patients. Reflecting after the audits and certifications, I, as the owner of practice, must admit that they significantly improved the practice's organization and allowed it to reach a qualitatively new level. We hope that the details presented in this article will be a guide for other PDP owners in Ukraine and abroad.

Groundwater is the main source of drinking water for the rural population in the municipality of Loulouni in southern Mali. The municipality is experiencing water shortages due to population growth and climate variability. The objective of this study is to identify potential groundwater areas to facilitate the construction of boreholes and to help decision-makers improve the rate of access to drinking water in this municipality. The data used consisted of cartographic data, hydroclimatic data, borehole data, and satellite images. The decision tree method was used to map potential groundwater areas with seven decision criteria: slope, effective infiltration, drainage density, fracture density, alteration thickness, geology, and land use. Borehole flows were overlaid on the potentiality maps for validation of the thematic maps. The excellent and good classes dominate with 74%, and the poor and mediocre potentiality classes are poorly represented with 26% of the total area of the municipality. This thematic map, which indicates the potential groundwater-rich area, can be used as an aid for future prospecting and the realization of water wells in the rural municipality of Loulouni.

According to a joint study done by Osaka University and Toyonaka City on patients mostly infected with Omicron, one in fivepatients experienced aftereffects one month after their recovery.

The report indicated that the symptoms improved over time. A majority of the patients reported difficulties with their daily activities. About 14%of the patients experienced aftereffects even one year after being discharged from hospitals, according to data recorded during Delta and previous waves that were presented to the Japanese government. Patients hospitalized during the Delta and Wuhan waves for SARS-CoV-2 infection showed a 50% reduction in symptoms between three and six months, according to a longitudinal follow-up study of sequelae. According to a gender-wise study, symptoms improved more quickly in women than in men. Compared to older patients, younger patients recovered a little faster in the firsttwo months. Patients infected during the first four non-Delta waves recovered slower than those infected during the Omicron surge. Longitudinalstudies of persistent symptoms are needed to develop treatments and possibly the COVID-19-specific drugs.

Lower limb edema is a frequent occurrence in the geriatric age. Among the possible causes, the deterioration of lymphatic function caused by its senescence is usually overlooked. There is multiple evidence of aging of the lymphatic system, based on in vivo observations, both in humans and in animal models, and on cadavers.
The alterations concern both the morphological and ultrastructural level, as well as functionality.
On the basis of the available data, some clinical pictures can be better understood and new areas of investigation envisaged.
