On the proper and optimal use of manufacturing process data in predictions and realtime decision-making
Authors: van Kollenburg Geert
Published: February 2024

I want to write a paper explaining how manufacturing data has to be handled to be properly used in data analytic models.

Often, research does not take into account the information on where in the process data was measured. The multisource data structure and the fact that much of the data are timeseries makes correlations between variables (nearly) meaningless. By incorporating expert knowledge of the manufacturing process into the data analysis, it becomes possible to predict data in subsequent machines at every point in time. But there are no models yet that can find relations between multivariate timeseries. As an addition, I will show that simply transposing the data enables classification of produced items based on the data observed during their production.

Considering the underlying structure of the data will increase the potential of data to improve manufacturing processes in realtime and get better insights into the relations between the various parts of the manufacturing.

Il livello di Health Literacy negli studenti Bergamaschi: uno studio osservazionale
Authors: Ongis Luca , Barcella Giulia
Published: February 2024

INTRODUZIONE: Recenti studi hanno evidenziato come l’Health Literacy (HL) rappresenti uno dei determinanti della salute fondamentali per il benessere delle persone. Nonostante questo concetto sia ampiamente approvato dalla comunità scientifica, il trend di ricerca verte su outcomes quali disinformazione e carenza di HL nel soggetto con problematiche legate alla dimensione della salute mentale, delle malattie croniche, utilizzo e abuso di droghe, piuttosto che valutarne l’effettivo livello nella popolazione. È quindi necessaria un’analisi più ampia e generalizzata, che appoggi la comunità Europea nella valutazione dei livelli di HL nella popolazione, così da dimostrare quanto un suo incremento, permetta un miglioramento sia della salute degli individui, che del Sistema Sanitario.
OBIETTIVO: Misurare le competenze di HL in un campione di studenti delle classi quinte frequentanti istituti superiori, con un’età compresa tra i 17 ed i 19 anni.
MATERIALI E METODI: Questo studio monocentrico, descrittivo, si è svolto nel periodo tra il 15 ed il 30 settembre 2021, ed ha utilizzato il questionario HLS Q-16 (European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire) validato da Lorini et al. (2019), per valutare il livello di HL.
RISULTATI: i risultati sono in accordo con quanto ottenuto da Lorini et al. (2019) e consentono di affermare che più della metà del campione, risulta avere un livello di HL problematico o inadeguato.
CONCLUSIONI: risulta fondamentale continuare la ricerca in questo ambito fortemente inesplorato sul territorio italiano ed analizzare in modo oggettivo e dimostrabile, dei potenziali correttivi che possano rimediare alla carenza di HL nel cittadino.

Published: February 2024

INTRODUZIONE: negli ultimi anni ha preso sempre più piede la figura del caregiver nell’assistenza dei pazienti cronici a domicilio. Elevati livelli di burden nei caregivers possono avere conseguenze negative sulla qualità di vita oltre al potenziale rischio di sviluppare sintomi psichiatrici o patologie cardiovascolari.
OBIETTIVI: valutare i livelli di burden nel caregiver e misurare il rischio di sviluppare depressione. 
MATERIALI E METODI: studio trasversale condotto nel periodo di Dicembre 2022 in un campione di caregivers dell’ASL BT. Il questionario somministrato consisteva in una sezione con i dati sociodemografici e una sezione con la Zarit Burden Interview che indaga i livelli di burden nel caregiver.
RISULTATI: hanno partecipato allo studio 92 caregivers (92%). Di questi 62 (67.4%) erano donne mentre il 55.4% conviveva con l’assistito. Livelli di burden moderato sono stati evidenziati nel 50% degli esaminati, in particolare, nelle donne (58.1%), nei caregivers di età compresa tra i 46 e 50 anni (86.6%) e nel 49% dei caregivers che vivono insieme al paziente. L’88.1% ha un rischio alto di sviluppare depressione principalmente le donne (RR: 1.55; p=.166) e i caregivers con età compresa tra i 61 e i 65 anni (RR=3.46; p=.286); il rischio di sviluppare depressione è stato significativamente osservato nei caregivers che convivono con l’assistito (RR=2.17; p=.045) contrariamente nei soggetti con meno di 45 anni (RR=0.14; p<.001).

CONCLUSIONI: gli intervistati hanno presentato un burden moderato e un alto rischio di sviluppare depressione. Urge sperimentare interventi preventivi e curativi da parte dei professionisti sanitari e sociali a favore del caregiver.

Flexible capacitive pressure sensors and their applications in human-machine interactions
Authors: Huang Ding , Zhu Weichu , Zhao Haoran
Published: February 2024

Flexible pressure sensors offer more significant advantages than rigid sensors in various applications, including human-computer interaction, medical health, and robot touch. However, this also places more stringent demands on the materials used. For example, the materials must be thin and soft enough to fit onto the surface of the human skin or be implanted into the body while also exhibiting good biocompatibility and matching the mechanical properties of biological tissues. Regarding device performance, flexible pressure sensor design primarily focuses on enhancing sensitivity, response time, detection limit, and stability. Researchers have recently been expanding these sensors' pressure response range, pressure resolution, spatial resolution, and tensile performance, which will further broaden their potential applications. This review provides an overview of the recent classification of flexible pressure sensors, covering their sensing principle, sensing performance, and future application prospects.
Enhancing medical image classification with convolutional neural networks through transfer learning: A comprehensive review
Authors: Gu Chengkang
Published: February 2024

Medical imaging has become crucial in diagnostics, but manual analysis of the vast amount of data is cumbersome. Transfer learning, utilizing techniques like data augmentation, has addressed the challenges faced by deep learning methods like CNNs in this domain, improving classification accuracy. This study offers a comprehensive review of the applications and potential benefits of deep learning and transfer learning in medical image classification while also shedding light on prospective challenges and avenues for future research. After a comprehensive review and analysis of the literature, it can be inferred that transfer learning addresses the primary challenges deep learning faces in the medical field, enhancing its applicability. While deep learning has substantial potential, it grapples with issues of model "black-box" interpretability, where decisions made by the model are hard for clinicians to understand, and potential breaches of individual data security given the sensitive nature of medical records.

Authors: Adeoye Saka Waidi Adeoye , Mayowa M.F. , Akano F.M. , Sultan A.O.
Published: February 2024

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death globally resulting in 17-19 million death every year. The search for an effective medicine to manage cardiovascular disorder without any side effect has led to the use of traditional based medicine. 75% of the world’s population has been reported to depend on traditional medicine as their basic form of health care and this has resulted to the use of herbal medicine in the treatment and management of metabolic diseases. The study evaluated the effect of methanolic extract of Ricinus communis on DDVP-induced cardiotoxicity in male Wistar rats. Thirty-two (32) male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups of eight (8) rats each. Group A served as control rats, received 10mL/Kg of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and distilled water solution (vehicle) for six weeks. Group B served as DDVP-induced rats and were exposed to DDVP (15 minutes daily) for 3 weeks without any treatment. Group C rats received DDVP as in group B and then administered 300mg/kg of R. communis extract for 42days. While Group D rats were administered 300mg/kg of R. communis extract daily, for 6 weeks in addition to normal feed and water. Exposure to DDVP caused significant cardiac dysfunction evidence by alteration in cardiovascular variables and electrocardiac function, compromised lipid profile and reduced antioxidant enzymes. However, treatment with methanolic extract of Ricinus communis improved antioxidant defense system, attenuate hemodynamic impairment and left ventricular dysfunction, as well as inhibit lipid peroxidation and prevent hyperlipidemia in rats. In addition, histopathology observation showed that Ricinus communis extract was able to regenerate the myocardial injury caused by exposure to dichlorvos. In conclusion, Ricinus communis exhibited cardioprotective properties and may be a potential remedy for cardiovascular diseases with low risk of toxicity
Cerebellar and Olfactory Bulb Perturbations Induced by Vanadium Neurotoxicity in the African Giant Rat (Cricetomys gambianus, Waterhouse)
Authors: Mustapha Oluwaseun , Omojola Fiyinfoluwa , Olaolorun Francis , Olude Matthew
Published: February 2024

The African giant rat, AGR (Cricetomys gambianus) is a unique rodent known for its keen sense of smell which has enabled its use in the diagnosis of tuberculosis and demining activities in war torn countries. This keen sense of smell and the ability to navigate tight spaces are skills modulated by the olfactory bulb and cerebellum. While the brain is generally susceptible to environmental pollutants such as heavy metals, vanadium has predilection for these two brain regions. This work was thus designed to investigate the probable neurotoxic effect of vanadium on the neuronal cytoarchitecture of the cerebellum and olfactory bulb in this rodent. To achieve this, twelve adults male AGRs were divided into two groups (vanadium and control groups) and were given intraperitoneal injections of 3mg/kg body weight sodium metavanadate and normal saline respectively for 14 days. After which they were sacrificed, and brains harvested for histological investigations using Nissl and Golgi staining techniques. Results from our experiment revealed Purkinje cell degeneration and pyknosis as revealed by a lower intact-pyknotic cell (I-P) ratio, higher pyknotic Purkinje cell density and poor dendritic arborizations in the molecular layer of the cerebellum in the vanadium treated group. In the olfactory bulb, neuronal loss in the glomerular layer was observed as shrunken glomeruli. These neuronal changes have been linked to deficits in motor function and disruption of odor transduction in the olfactory bulb. This work has further demonstrated the neurotoxic effects of vanadium on the cerebellum and olfactory bulb of the AGR and the likely threat it may pose to the translational potentials of this rodent. We therefore propose the use of this rodent as a suitable model for better understanding vanadium induced olfactory and cerebellar dysfunctions.

Un pilar 0 para la seguridad social uruguaya
Authors: Forteza Álvaro
Published: February 2024

In May 2023, the Uruguayan government enacted Law 20.130 reforming the Uruguayan pension system. Title VII, on "Minimum levels of protection", provides for significant changes in what is usually referred to as "pillar 0" of social protection. In this paper, I share some ideas about pillar 0 that I presented to the Commission of Experts on Social Security (CESS), created by Law 19.889 of 2020. I propose the creation of a universal income for older adults residing in the country, inspired by similar programs in other countries, such as Canada's Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), Sweden's Pension Guarantee and Chile's Solidarity Pension. These ideas were one input, among many others, into the drafting of the CESS proposals and later the reform law.

Aan het uitkristalliseren: de betekenis van het EU-recht voor de opsporingsbevoegdheden

In zijn rechtspraak heeft het Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie twee vereisten geïntroduceerd voor de toepassing van opsporingsbevoegdheden. Het vereiste van voorafgaande toetsing op basis waarvan een rechterlijke instantie of onafhankelijke bestuurlijke autoriteit dient te beslissen over de toepassing, en het vereiste van een ernstig strafbaar feit op basis waarvan uitsluitend de verdenking van een ernstig misdrijf de toepassing rechtvaardigt. De rechtspraak van het Hof van Justitie doet vragen rijzen over de betekenis en de reikwijdte van beide vereisten. Deze bijdrage beoogt de lezer mee te nemen bij de rechtsontwikkeling en de tussenbalans te geven.
El combate en población en la Castilla bajomedieval
Authors: Manuel Ángel Martín Vera
Published: February 2024

La lucha en la Castilla bajomedieval y su espacio fronterizo, implicó el empleo de formas de combate apenas tratadas, como en el caso propuesto. A esto se une lo escaso, escueto y disperso de las fuentes, y la ausencia de trabajos al respecto. El enfrentamiento medieval en población reviste circunstancias singulares que exigen un análisis detallado de la casuística, tácticas y otros factores determinantes. Empleando principalmente fuentes cronísticas castellanas, se sigue una metodología militar, integrada en el método historiográfico. A su vez se hace referencia a las luchas urbanas entre bandos, por considerarlas escuelas de formación y campos de experiencia en este tipo de acciones.
The Influence of the Reading Medium on Learning Efficacy
Authors:   Faculty of Languages, Cultures and Communication, South East European University, Tetovo, North Macedonia, Kareva Veronika
Published: February 2024

This paper outlines the differences between electronic and printed reading comprehension for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. It explores which sources EFL students prefer and the reasons behind that; whether the reading mode influences the comprehension of the material being read; and which reading strategies are applied to each reading mode. We hypothesize that comprehension is easier and more successful when reading from printed sources. The method includes an experiment with students from the English Language Teaching (ELT) Program at the South East European University (SEEU) in North Macedonia. It aims to analyze and compare text comprehension and strategies used during digital reading (e-reading) and printed reading (p-reading). Findings clearly showed a preference for p-reading and more successful comprehension with this mode. No difference was found in the reading strategies application between e-reading and p-reading. The main conclusion is that there are no differences in the cognitive process underlying reading and understanding of electronic and print media, but comprehension and hence learning is more successful with printed sources. Eye fatigue and brain strain are the greatest disadvantages of electronic reading. Current and future English teachers, educational workers and policy makers should consider these conclusions when creating curricula for all educational levels and all ages.

Authors: Carnecer Angelle Maye , Murcia John Vianne
Published: February 2024

When viewed by industries, knowing how clients behave leads to better business decisions. Specific tools are utilized to determine how market behaves – one of such is conjoint model. This tool was utilized in this study to model preferences for salary loans and explore utilities of attributes and their levels. A quantitative non-experimental causal method was used and involved N=200 respondents. Results showed interest rate is the most important attribute with regards to relative importance. Individually and aggregately, interest rate remains as the most important attribute for existing clients. Conjoint analysis’ additive model revealed a salary loan provided by a bank with one-month payslip required, processes loan application within the day, charges 0.5 to 1% interest rate and payable within 24 months is the most preferred. The least preferred combination for existing clients is a salary loan offered by a government fiduciary institution that requires three months of payslip, processes loan application within 10 to 15 working days, charges 2% interest rate and payable within 24 months, while the least preferred combination is a salary loan provided by a bank, with one-month payslip required, processes loans within a week, charges 2% interest rate and can be paid within six months. Implications are discussed.

In Poland, the risk of road safety is still one of the highest in the EU and, despite a 36% decrease in the number of fatalities, requires further intensive work to reduce the risk associated with travelling on the roads. In 2021, the National Road Safety Program for 2022-2030 was announced, which should be followed by regional programs. The article presents a set of information needed to diagnose traffic safety at the province level. Using the example of the Masovian Province, basic statistical data, road safety trends, basic risk indicators, the structure of accidents and fatalities from various perspectives were presented. In addition, the costs of accidents and collisions that occurred in the Masovian Province were shown. Based on the analyses conducted, the characteristic features and main road safety problems in the province were identified. The analyses and their results presented show that the annual costs of all road accidents in the Masovian Province, although decreasing, still significantly exceed the expenses planned in the province budget for a given year. Therefore, reducing the number of road incidents, especially accidents, and their consequences may bring significant savings to the province budget.

Ultrasound guidance has become ubiquitous in the clinical practice of regional anesthesia and vascular access. Because the ultrasound transducer and an acoustic coupling medium (e.g. ultrasound gel) are applied directly to the patient’s body, the contact of a non-sterile ultrasound transducer with the site of intervention during the breach of the skin integrity by the needle carries the risk of infection transmission. Surprisingly, however, recommendations on how to prevent ultrasound-related outbreaks are often conflicting. With the increasing use of ultrasound in interventional procedures, such as vascular access, regional anesthesia, and pain medicine, the development of clear guidelines on how to prevent infection from patient to patient is essential for patient and operator safety. This review aims to provide a current understanding of the mechanisms and prevalence of infection transmission and to summarize the current recommendations for infectious precautions with interventional ultrasound. We also provide practically implementable and pragmatic recommendations for infectious precautions, based on the available information.

Agricultural extension has been instrumental in developing agriculture by enhancing the quality of agricultural human resources. This study was conducted on 112 rice paddy farmers in the village of Labibia in December 2022, using simple random sampling. The research sample consisted of 28 farmers from Labibia village. This study examines the variables of extension agents' attitudes, including extension methods, techniques, materials, and media, as well as farmers' participation in activity planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The logical structure and causal connections between statements are maintained, and the text is free from grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, and punctuation errors. This study examines the variables of extension agents' attitudes, including extension methods, techniques, materials, and media, as well as farmers' participation in activity planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The text adheres to conventional structure and formatting, including consistent citation and footnote style. No changes in content were made. The data analysis utilized descriptive and rank Spearman correlation analyses. The language used is clear, concise, and objective, with a formal register and precise word choice. The study revealed that farmers in the village of Labibia rated the implementation of agricultural extension activities as 'medium' across four indicators: extension methods, techniques, materials, and media used by extension workers. This means that the implementation of extension activities still needs improvement in four indicators to ensure that farmers can fully benefit from the extension process. In Labibia village, farmers' participation in agricultural extension activities falls under the medium category. The three indicators are activity planning, activity implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of agricultural extension activities. In implementing extension activities, it is necessary to ensure participation between farmers and agricultural extension workers to achieve the planned goal of farmer independence. The attitude and participation of farmers in agricultural extension activities have a strong, unidirectional relationship. This means that the higher the farmers' attitude, the higher their participation in extension activities.
