Modal Foundationalism in Brandom´s Interpretation of Hegel
Authors: Yirmibe? Mert
Published: March 2024

Brandom’s reading of Hegel’s metaphysics offers an excitingly rich interpretation within the context of contemporary modal metaphysics. Brandom reads Hegel’s determinate negation in the way that the concepts of material incompatibility and material consequence relations operate. Brandom recognizes incompatibility as a modal concept and places it as a primitive in the foundation of Hegel’s metaphysics. This paper examines of Brandom’s modal foundationalist claim in comparison to how Hegel conceives of modality in his Logic. Upon this examination, the paper suggests that Brandom’s interpretation remains problematically indifferent to the anti-foundationalist aspect of Hegel’s Logic and Hegel’s understanding of modality.
Abnormalities detected on digital rectal examinations in dogs are common and influence diagnostic and treatment plans
Authors: Andrews Camille , Hess Rebecka S. , Drobatz Kenneth , Buriko Yekaterina
Published: March 2024

OBJECTIVE

To determine the frequency of abnormal findings on digital rectal examination (DRE) performed during physical examinations at a tertiary referral veterinary hospital, to establish what abnormal findings are most common and whether they impact diagnostic and treatment plans, and to assess whether patient signalment or admitting service influences the frequency of abnormalities.

ANIMALS

Client-owned dogs (n = 440).

METHODS

Veterinarians performed DREs on dogs as part of a physical examination. Patient signalment and DRE findings were recorded in a standardized survey. Findings were deemed normal or abnormal and described. Whether the findings changed the diagnostic or treatment plan was also recorded.

RESULTS

Abnormalities were detected on DRE in 160 of 440 (36%) dogs. Changes to the diagnostic plan occurred in 41 of 160 (26%) cases when an abnormality was found. Changes to the treatment plan occurred in 20 of 160 (12.5%) cases when an abnormality was found. Age (P = .2), sex (P = .9), and breed (P = 1) did not significantly influence the frequency of abnormal findings. Abnormal findings were significantly more common in dogs presenting to the emergency service than elective services (P = .005).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Among dogs presenting to a tertiary veterinary hospital, abnormalities found on DRE are common and change the diagnostic plan in 1 out of 4 dogs and treatment plan in 1 out of 8 dogs. This study supports the continued practice of DREs in dogs, especially in emergency settings, regardless of signalment.

Authors: Roy Tanmay Sinha , Roy Joyanta Kumar , Mandal Nirupama , Mukhopadhyay Subhas Chandra
Published: March 2024

The paper reviews the milestones and various modern-day approaches in developing phonocardiogram (PCG) signal analysis. It also explains the different phases and methods of the Heart Sound signal analysis. Many physicians depend heavily on ECG experts, inviting healthcare costs and ignorance of stethoscope skills. Hence, auscultation is not a simple solution for the detection of valvular heart disease; therefore, doctors prefer clinical evaluation using Doppler Echo-cardiogram and another pathological test. However, the benefits of auscultation and other clinical evaluation can be associated with computer-aided diagnosis methods that can help considerably in measuring and analyzing various Heart Sounds. This review covers the most recent research for segmenting valvular Heart Sound during preprocessing stages, like adaptive fuzzy system, Shannon energy, time-frequency representation, and discrete wavelet distribution for analyzing and diagnosing various heart-related diseases. Different Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based deep-learning models are discussed for valvular Heart Sound analysis, like LeNet-5, AlexNet, VGG16, VGG19, DenseNet121, Inception Net, Residual Net, Google Net, Mobile Net, Squeeze Net, and Xception Net. Among all deep-learning methods, the Xception Net claimed the highest accuracy of 99.43 + 0.03% and sensitivity of 98.58 + 0.06%. The review also provides the recent advances in the feature extraction and classification techniques of Cardiac Sound, which helps researchers and readers to a great extent.

Authors: Ageed Zainab Salih , Yasin Hajar M. , Rashid Zryan Najat , Zeebaree Subhi R. M.
Published: March 2024

High-resolution remote sensing data renders worldwide images faster than traditional data collection strategies. Hence small objects such as cars are easily detected. Vehicle recognition on aerial remote sensing images (RSIs) in the complicated background of urban zones has always gained a lot of interest in the remote sensing field. The automatic vehicles enumeration research domain plays a significant role in several applications, including traffic management and monitoring. Target detection technology will be a crucial part of computer vision (CV) technology, and target detection techniques were enforced in several domains. Therefore, this study develops a new Vehicle Recognition and Classification using Sea Lion Optimization with Deep Learning (VRC-SLODL) model on RSI. In the presented VRC-SLODL technique, the major intention lies in recognising and classifying vehicles present in the images. The bilateral filtering (BF) technique can initially improve the RSI quality. The VRC-SLODL technique employs a modified residual network (ResNet) model to produce a set of feature vectors. Finally, the SLO algorithm with long short-term memory (LSTM) model is employed for vehicle classification, where the SLO algorithm acts as a hyperparameter optimizer. The experiments were performed on a benchmark dataset to examine the better performance of the VRC-SLODL technique. The obtained values reported the improved classification performance of the VRC-SLODL technique over other models.

Authors: Yağmur Fatma Demirezen , Sertbaş Ahmet
Published: March 2024

A 1-dimensional (1D) and 2-dimensional (2D) biomedical signal analysis based on the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) feature extraction method was performed to diagnose epilepsy disorders with high accuracy. For this purpose, Electroencephalogram (EEG) data were used for 1D signal analysis and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data were used for 2D signal analysis. The feature vectors were obtained by applying 1D DCT together with statistical methods such as mean, variance, standard deviation, kurtosis, and skewness for EEG data and by applying 2D DCT together with the statistical method of mean for MRI data. The most useful features were selected by applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Forward Selection and Backward Selection methods to the obtained feature vectors. Using EEG stand-alone features, MRI stand-alone features and EEG-MRI fused features, the classification of healthy and epileptic subjects was performed in the form of two clusters. The result of epilepsy classification in this work is 96% success of 1D EEG data by using the features selected by the PCA method, 94% success of 2D MRI data using the selected features by applying the Forward Method, 100% classification accuracy of 1D EEG and 2D MRI datasets by LDA method using the obtained fused features . The article shows that the fused features of EEG-MRI can be used very effectively for the diagnosis of epilepsy.

Published: March 2024

Objective: The aim of this work is to show the application of the Correlation Coefficient (Pearson, Spearman) to environmental problems.
 
Theoretical framework: Although the concepts of correlation and regression are intimately related, they are nevertheless different. Correlation may be described as the degree of association between two variables, whereas regression expresses the form of the relationship between specified values of one (the independent, exogenous, explanatory, regressor, carrier or predictor) variable and the means of all corresponding values of the second (the dependent, outcome, response variable, the variable being explained) variable (Asuero et al., 2006).
 
Method: Data was taken from 2 case studies in the environmental area and both were analyzed, the first with Pearson's Correlation Coefficient and the second with Spearman's Correlation Coefficient.
 
Results and conclusion: It was determined that the samples had high Pearson's Correlation Coefficient values in both cases, which showed a very high correlation in both cases. The use of both types of Correlation Coefficient proved satisfactory in both cases.
 
Implications of the research: The use cases of the Correlation Coefficient in the environmental area are multiplying in the scientific literature and are proving to be highly effective in showing the correlation between environmental variables.
 
Originality/value: Despite being a well-known statistical tool, the Correlation Coefficient is widely used and can bring innovations in its application in cases of environmental variables.

Mood affects an individual's performance, whether relaxed/tense or alert/fatigued. This article was based on research to study a correlation between the lighting setting with relaxed-tense and alert/fatigued moods in the workplace by observing the illuminance level, the correlated color temperature (CCT), and the overhead/peripheral placement of lighting. The research was conducted with two online image-based questionnaire evaluations of 7 different lighting settings specifying their illuminance level, CCT, and placement as overhead or peripheral lighting depicted in images from the DIALux simulation. In the first questionnaire, subjects were asked to rate the difference between the two lighting displays being compared and the combination of the seven lighting settings. In the second questionnaire, subjects were also asked to rate their relaxed-tense and alert-fatigued perceptions of the lighting diplayed in the image. The results of these two questionnaires were analyzed by multidimensional scaling and correlation analysis. This image-based research concluded that a relaxed/tense perceived mood correlated negatively with the CCT, and an alert/fatigued perceived mood correlated negatively with the illuminance level and the CCT.

Authors: Kazancioglu Alp , Konuralp Ilteber , Sahiner Umit Murat , Soyer Ozge , Sekerel Bulent Enis
Published: March 2024

Background: Lipid transfer proteins (LTP) are the most common food allergens in the Mediterranean region. Objective: The study aimed to investigate co-sensitization patterns and cluster relationships between LTP allergen molecules across a broad range
of allergen-specific sensitization patterns, and clinical outcomes in eastern Mediterranean children. Methods: Among 496 children evaluated for multiple sensitizations with multiplex testing, 105 children (21%) with 16 different LTP sensitizations were analyzed. Clinical
reactivity was examined based on clear-cut history of immunoglobulin E mediated symptoms (oral allergy syndrome [OAS], systemic reactions, and anaphylaxis). Results: All children included were sensitive to food LTPs, but 56% were sensitive to pollen LTPs. The number of
children with OAS and clinical reactivity was 12 and 59, respectively, and no cofactors were reported. The most common sensitizations were Pru p 3 (74%) and Cor a 8 (66%). Significant correlations were observed in the heatmap between the LTP molecules other than Par j 2 and Tri a 14. Overall,
clinical reactivity was associated with increased age and number of LTP molecule positivity. Conclusion: In the eastern Mediterranean region, 21% of children with multiple food and/or pollen sensitizations were found to have LTP sensitization; however, almost half reported
clinical reactivity. The hierarchical pathway highlights that distinct LTP allergen molecules can act as primary sensitizers. Clinical reactivity is linked to increasing numbers of LTP molecule positivity and increasing age.
Addressing global health disparities in the management of RSV infection in infants and children: Strategies for preventing bronchiolitis and post-bronchiolitis recurrent wheezing
Authors: Ferrante Giuliana , Piacentini Giorgio , Piazza Michele , Boner Attilio L. , Bellanti Joseph A.
Published: March 2024

Background: The topic of equitable access to health care and its impact on exacerbating worldwide inequities in child health not only strikes at the heart of our health-care delivery systems but also deeply resonates with our collective social consciences. Nowhere is this
better seen on a global scale than in the burden of illness caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, which extracts the most severe morbidity and mortality in infants and children in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). This report addresses global health disparities that
exist in the management of RSV infection in infants and children, and offers strategies for preventing bronchiolitis and postbronchiolitis recurrent wheezing in LMICs. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted across the PubMed data bases of RSV infection and
the socioeconomic impact of bronchiolitis and postbronchiolitis recurrent wheezing in LMICs. Results: The results of the present study address the many issues that deal with the question if prevention of RSV bronchiolitis can mitigate recurrent wheezing episodes and links
RSV risks, downstream effects, prevention, malnutrition, and socioeconomic restraints of developing countries with a call for possible global action. Conclusion: The present study stresses the importance of considering the linkage between malnutrition and disease susceptibility
because of the known relationships between undernutrition and greater vulnerability to infectious diseases, including RSV infection. These complex interactions between infectious disease and undernutrition also raise issues on the longer-term sequelae of postbronchiolitis recurrent wheezing.
This prompts a discussion on whether industrialized countries should prioritize the provision of newly developed monoclonal antibodies and RSV vaccines to LMICs or whether vital nutritional needs should be a first focus. The resolution of these issues will require research and greater international
discourse.

Background: There is a lack of studies about which factors affect the quality of life (QoL) in children with atopic dermatitis (AD), although it is well known that AD has considerably negative effects on their QoL. Objective: This study aimed to measure
the QoL in children with AD and identify the factors that affect their QoL. Methods: A questionnaire derived from the Children’s Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) was used to measure QoL. Family history, allergic comorbidities, exacerbation-related factors, time
of exacerbation, and previous and current treatment were also evaluated. The total immunoglobulin E (IgE) level and specific IgE sensitization were determined by the multiple allergen simultaneous test, allergy test, or skin-prick test. AD severity was categorized into mild, moderate, and
severe based on treatments. Results: In total, 254 children (46.4 months, 53% boys) from seven hospitals completed the survey. The mean CDLQI score was 7.2 ± 5.5 (total score range of 0‐30). The respondents were divided into three groups according to
their QoL score distribution, with 0 − 4 points (n = 84), 5 − 9 points (n = 90), and ≥10 points (n = 80) representing good, fair, and poor QoL, respectively. The more severe AD showed the higher CDLQI score significantly (p = 0.001). Compared with other groups,
children with poor QoL were more sensitized to inhalant allergens (odds ratio [OR] 1.29 [95% confidence interval {CI}], 1.03 − 1.62) and had more exacerbating factors (OR 1.26 [95% CI, 1.04 − 1.54]), which included inhalation allergen‐related exacerbating factors (OR 2.54
[95% CI, 1.23 − 5.23), even after adjusting for age, total IgE, body mass index, severity, and use of moisturizer. The concordance between animal sensitization and an exacerbating factor, including dog and cat, was fair, with 0.39 κ and 0.85 accuracy. Conclusion:
This study showed that impaired QoL in children with AD is associated with inhalant allergen sensitization and inhalant allergen‐related exacerbation factors. Especially, dog and cat sensitization was a significant exacerbating factor. The inhalation-related exacerbation factors,
including animal allergens, might be addressed to improve AD management in children.
