Development of a statistical opto-biomechanical eye model
Authors:   , Ghaderi Hosna
Published: January 2025

Imagine this: A doctor can create a 3D replica of your eye with just a click, then simulate a surgery on that virtual eye before touching the real one. That's exactly what my PhD project is about! I developed "SyntEyes OBM," a model that combines both optical and biomechanical properties of the eye to better predict how it will respond to surgeries or treatments. For decades, scientists have used models of the human eye to understand its functions. However, these models often overlook individual differences and changes in eye shape, like those occurring during growth or accommodation (when the lens reshapes to focus on objects at different distances). This limitation reduces the accuracy of surgical predictions and our understanding of certain diseases. To solve this, I created SyntEyes OBM, a model that incorporates both optical and mechanical aspects of the eye. It provides better insights into how the eye functions, ultimately making surgeries safer and more effective. By accounting for individual differences, the model improves the accuracy of predicting surgical outcomes, paving the way for personalized eye care. A standout feature of SyntEyes OBM is its ability to simulate ocular diseases and potential treatment strategies. For example, we can model conditions like keratoconus to understand their development and test new treatments. The model also allows doctors to practice and refine surgical techniques in a virtual environment, reducing risks and increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes. We used SyntEyes OBM to study how stress and strain are distributed across the cornea under normal intraocular pressure, revealing that thinner corneas experience higher stress levels and are more susceptible to conditions like corneal ectasia after surgery. These insights are crucial for developing patient-specific treatment plans. In another study, we used SyntEyes OBM to simulate the progression of keratoconus, a disease that weakens and deforms the cornea. The model helped us understand how different initial corneal geometries impact disease progression, aiding in targeted early intervention. We also simulated photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), a common laser eye surgery, providing insights into post-surgical effects and optimizing outcomes. Overall, SyntEyes OBM is a groundbreaking tool that integrates optical and biomechanical modeling to deepen our understanding of the eye, make surgeries safer, and aid in treating complex eye conditions. By enabling personalized simulations and supporting the development of new techniques, my work aims to provide more effective, individualized eye care and improve quality of life for patients worldwide.

The study was conducted to five Senior High School teachers and ten (10) learners of PHINMA University of Iloilo for School Year 2022-2023. Findings showed that the English teachers viewed digital materials as supplements to printed materials, a convenient way of accessing information and a great challenge; while learners viewed them as easier learning material and a newer way to learn concepts. Teachers viewed printed materials as helpful and useful learning materials and reliable and effective learning resources while learners viewed them as convenient materials and accessible to all learners. Both teachers and learners found digital and printed materials sufficient and useful. Implications of digital and printed materials into teaching and learning 21st Century Literature were formulated on the basis of result of this study.
Hospitality – the Pulse and the Pulsation of Deconstruction
Authors: Bernardo Fernanda
Published: January 2025

With the title «Hospitality – the Pulse and the Pulsation of Deconstruction», this article tries to present and to highlight Derrida’s Deconstruction as a philosophical idiom, trying to emphasise its singularity – its singularity as an idiom of philosophical thought as well as the singularity of its thought of hospitality, advocating it as the bearer of Lights for the urgency of a new «world» of Enlightenment to come.

Volume 7 is a worthy closure of the mega project to provide an overview of the history of English literature(s) for a Hungarian audience. The last unit covers the time range from the 1930s to the present, divided into two parts (volumes 6 and 7, respectively). Spanning over 660 pages, excluding bibliography and index, volume 7 starts with the swinging sixties and ends with Brexit literature. The chapters mostly follow a chronological order, and the majority of them contain subchapters which makes navigating the book easier.
The Host Hosted
Authors: Smid Róbert
Published: January 2025

My article focuses on the Derridean aporias of unconditional and conditional hospitality. I argue that Kleist’s play Amphitryon performs a two-fold deconstruction of the elementary conventions of hospitality. First, hospitality is practiced only after the guest is (falsely) recognized as the head of the household, which on the one hand confronts us with the impossibility of hosting the host, but on the other hand points to a possible condition of unconditional hospitality, which is the anonymity – and hence interchangeability – of the guest and the host. Second, and not independently from the first, Kleist’s play also illuminates not-knowing or the unknown as a key factor of hospitality, which makes hospitality an open secret in the sense that its conditions are never fully revealed but have never been fully concealed either.
The Derridean (Un)hostility of Fashion
Authors: Egri Petra
Published: January 2025

"There is, to all appearances, a philosophic hostility to fashionable dress." - writes Karen Hanson in Dressing Down Dressing Up: The Philosophic Fear of Fashion. Hanson's study identifies several points - from the ever-changing nature of fashion to the ethicality of the fashion industry - from which philosophy has historically criticized and continues to criticize fashion as a social phenomenon, industry, and art form. In this sense, deconstruction indicates new critical design practice and (self-)critique of the fashion industry. The notion of "hostility’ in the vocabulary of deconstruction and psychoanalysis is identical to the event of resistance. It is thus a genuinely defining feature. At the same time, its self-positioning consists of the creation and reception opened up by the object. Its developers (Freud, Derrida, de Man) recognized that in this "counter-feeling,” or resistance, a new layer of interpretation and experience, previously only felt but not thought of, operates. Fashion's deconstructive processes exist in this resistance. There have been many attempts to link fashion research and the designers' conception of design to deconstruction. As Flavia Loscialpo already puts it this way: "Deconstruction fashion, which is always already in-deconstruction itself, involves, in fact, a thorough consideration of fashion’s debt to its own history, to critical thought, to temporality and the modern condition.” In my paper, I will make some arguments from the side of deconstruction concerning fashion in general, but also try to describe the nature of a postmodern "fashion process" (including the design thinking, the materiality of clothing or textiles, and even the theoretical perception of fashion). Through the writings of Derrida and Freud, I examine the critical fashion practices of Martin Margiela.

O estudo teve como objetivo identificar as ações da equipe multiprofissional para prevenção da extubação não planejada em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva descritas na literatura. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa realizada no mês de junho de 2021, através da Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde (BVS). A questão norteadora foi: Quais as ações para prevenção da extubação não planejada em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva descritas na literatura? Foram utilizados como descritores: extubação, prevenção, unidade de terapia intensiva, utilizando o operador booleano AND, resultando em 52 artigos, que após serem filtrados por artigos disponíveis, tipo de documento e ano de publicação e após leitura dos mesmos, chegou-se a um total de 05 artigos. Foram extraídas dos artigos, diversas ações, que foram organizadas em três categorias: Monitorização adequada do nível de sedação e agitação; Fixação eficaz do dispositivo orotraqueal e Observação da mobilização do paciente durante a prática da assistência. A primeira categoria aborda a monitorização adequada do nível de sedação e agitação, que é um cuidado citado em muitas literaturas como eficiente, e que entrega ao paciente crítico o conforto necessário para a melhora do seu quadro clínico. A segunda categoria enfatizou a fixação eficaz do dispositivo orotraqueal, que consiste em um cuidado muito importante para manutenção das vias aéreas pérvias, conservando a localização correta do tubo orotraqueal e evitando a maioria dos casos de extubação não planejada. A terceira categoria ressalta a observação da mobilização do paciente durante a prática da assistência, que cita cuidados durante o manejo como transporte hospitalar, banho no leito e mudança de decúbito. Observouse que todas as ações são importantes no processo do cuidado para prevenção das extubações não planejadas, porém ainda falta mais adesão dos profissionais e comprometimento em relação às boas práticas.

Development of Scene Segmentation to Improve Work Efficiency of Learner Monitoring
Authors: Kaoru Sugita
Published: January 2025

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, many universities have introduced video conference systems and e-learning systems, but these issues still make it difficult to obtain actual learning time. However, during operation of these systems, the participants or learner may not watch the video because they have also other tasks. For this reason, we have developed some prototype systems for monitoring learner behavior at watching learning content. In this paper, we describe the development of video scene segmentation based on a video correlation matrix, which reflects learner behavior, aiming to enhance the efficiency of learner monitoring. From our evaluation, we have been able to segment scenes from videos capturing learners based on the difference in correlation values between adjacent frames.

India is a treasure house of cultural heritage, reflected in its arts, literature, traditions, languages, and heritage sites. People around the world relate to its richness through tourism, festivals, yoga, classical literature. Vibrant diversity and cultural wealth best encapsulate its uniqueness and appeal at the global level. Every state in India provides an epitome of incredible cultural and linguistic diversity. Bihar, for example is famous for its rich historic contributions to education as displayed by the ancient pedagogical structures of Nalanda University and Taxila University. This study examined the effectiveness of a Culturally Responsive Instruction (CRI) package in enhancing the social, emotional, and collaborative skills of middle school students. Using a pre-test and post-test control group design, the research was conducted with a simple random sample of sixty-two students from two schools in the Gaya District of Bihar, India. Subjects in the study were given instructions to use the CRI package, which is a skill package designed to promote behavioral skills. The control group received instruction regular teaching methods. The outcomes were measured using the data collection tool, the Social, Emotional, and Collaborative Skills Scale (SECS). Statistical analysis by way of a t-test has shown that the experimental group outdid the control set significantly in the areas of social, emotional, and collaborative skills. These findings imply that CRI will better support the middle-grade learner than more traditional strategies, especially when it concerns skills related to interpersonal or intrapersonal development.

Data is gathered for geographical, medicinal, and agricultural research using software tools. These gadgets appeal to scientists because they have a lot of practical hardware attachments (such as a camera, GPS, and accelerometer) and the ability to access and modify software applications (apps). Some teachers are also using tablets into their syllabi for both indoor and outdoor course work in an effort to improve student learning. These gadgets have recently been used by fishery professionals for public outreach and awareness campaigns as well as data collection. Smartphones and digital tablets are becoming increasingly useful for gathering data and educating people about fisheries because to new waterproofing technologies, casings, and accessory adapters. Here, we summarize some of the material that is already available on the use of smartphones and tablets for data collecting and education, and we look at some of the existing and potential applications of these devices in the fishing industry. Our overall goal is to show that fisheries professionals, such as technicians, managers, and educators, may benefit from cell phones and digital tablets.

One of the world's most huge fisheries assets is the 2.5 million square kilometres of freshwater area. It comprises Southeast Asian ponds and canals, lakes (Victoria, Nyasa, Chilka), and major river systems (Ganga, Nile, Amazon, etc.). In addition, India boasts an abundance of inland fisheries resources, including estuaries, flood plain lakes, marshes, reservoirs, tanks, and ponds. The potential for fish production is enormous because to these resources. One of the few freshwater fish biodiversity hotspots in the world is the North East (NE) area of India, which incorporates the provinces of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, and Sikkim. The water assets in the space are plentiful and different. A structure for biological system based fisheries the executives was made in this examination. NOAA Fisheries uses EBFM to help management partners make better decisions on trade-offs across commercial, recreational, ceremonial science, and management programs.
Image segmentation and classification of aquatic plants using convolutional neural network
Authors: Nayak Ashu , Raghatate Kapesh Subhash
Published: January 2025

Many advancements have been made in recent years to solve the difficulties posed by hyperspectral images. Several mathematical restrictions are used to address common problems such as regression, segmentation, spectral end-member analysis, and classification. However, the spectral domain continues to be the focus of most research. The development of new spatial-spectral techniques is necessary since high resolution remote sensing spatial pictures are now available. Nonetheless, hyperspectral imaging is still a relatively new idea in the field of computer vision. Low-level image processing, such as how to obtain and process hyperspectral images with fine spatial resolution, how to remove noise in hyperspectral images, and so forth, is the subject of very little of the current research. In the realm of hyperspectral image processing, feature extraction algorithms are either nonexistent or have very little work. Hyperspectral photography offers a greater range of applications in agriculture, industry, military detection, underwater life preservation, mineral mapping, vegetation mapping, and more because of its superior categorisation capability. However, a lack of fundamental techniques has hampered the spectral region study. Spatial dimension approaches from the field of computer vision are not considered in the current methodologies. A solid scientific basis is still required for hyperspectral imaging. It is anticipated that hyperspectral imaging will become more prevalent in the field of remote sensing in the upcoming years, and that using both spectral-spatial feature extraction techniques will have an effect on the success of hyperspectral image processing methods

Authors: Uppal Sadaf , Azhar Farah , Sani Aliya
Published: January 2025

Background: Diabetes and its complications are major global health challenges, prompting the search for early biomarkers. The REG Iα protein plays a role in the repair and restoration of damaged β-cells.
Objective: To evaluate circulating REG Iα levels in diabetes patients (type 1 and 2) and assess their association with metabolic factors and disease complications.
Methods: It is a cross sectional study that include 20 healthy controls (age- and sex-matched) and 70 patients (10 T1D and 60 T2D). REG Iα levels in serum were determined using ELISA, and clinical parameters such as Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c were analyzed. Statistical correlations were evaluated using SPSS.
Results: Circulating REG Iα levels were significantly elevated in both T1D and T2D patients versus controls. T2D patients demonstrated an inverse correlation between REG Iα levels and disease duration, whereas T1D patients showed elevated levels with advancing age. Patients with diabetic complications exhibited higher REG Iα levels than those without.
Conclusion: Elevated REG Iα levels in diabetics suggest their potential as biomarkers for β-cell regeneration and disease progression. Their correlation with complications highlights the need for further exploration into their diagnostic and prognostic utility.

Authors: Burxanova Xilolaxon , Karimova Dilovar
Published: January 2025

Almonds are rich in many nutrients such as fatty acids, lipids, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, as well as secondary metabolites. Therefore, one of the important issues is the study of the mineral composition of the same almond varieties grown in different regions of our republic, or different varieties of almonds grown in the same environment, determining how rich they are in macro- and microelements, the preparation of natural medicines from them, the isolation of biologically active substances. The aim of the study is to determine the elemental composition of amygdalus communis and Amygdalus bucharica using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, as well as to compare their macro- and microelement compositions. The plants Amygdalus bucharica and Amygdalus communis grown in the Uzbek district of the Ferghana region were selected as the object of research. The amount of 30 macro- and microelements contained in them was determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. According to the results obtained, it was studied that sweet almonds contain a large amount of the macronutrients potassium (112,322 mg/g) and calcium (30,834 mg/g), and bitter almonds contain a large amount of the elements magnesium (31,748 mg/g) and phosphorus (51,598 mg/g). It was also found that the samples contain trace elements important for the human body, such as iron, copper, zinc and manganese. Amygdalus communis and amygdalus bucharica did not contain toxic elements. These results show that both samples are rich in minerals. While Amygdalus bucharica is used to prepare natural medicines because of its richness in minerals, using amygdalus communis in a daily diet can help meet this body's mineral needs even without medication.

Authors: Asfaw Etenesh , Mirkasimov Bakhrom
Published: January 2025

Uzbekistan is becoming more efficient in using water and energy resources. However, the pressure on natural capital still remains and the development of renewable energy sources is slow. The natural asset base of Uzbekistan's economy, including land and forest, needs more maintenance. The environmental dimensions of Uzbekistan’s population quality of life, including access to sewerage and solid waste collection systems are improving. At the same time, challenges remain in outdoor air pollution. Energy subsidies are still high and environmental expenditures are small. Tariffs for water and energy use do not represent the cost. Uzbekistan needs to tap into more economic opportunities for the transition to a green economy. Data on green growth indicators for Uzbekistan is fragmented and inconsistent. It will benefit if it becomes harmonised with international measurement methods and better data coordination.
Relevance, Challenges and Risk-Based Thinking of the Internal Affairs Service in the Philippine National Police
Authors: Page Robert Jr.
Published: January 2025

In this study, which focuses on Region 4-A of the Philippine National Police – Internal Affairs Service (PNP-IAS), the relevance, challenges, and risk-based thinking of the Internal Affairs Service (IAS) are examined. Additionally, the relevance of Republic Act No. 8551 in preventing police misbehavior and corruption is examined. Descriptive correlational research design was used to analyze significant differences and correlations between variables. 16,060 PNP members make up the participants, for a sample size of 425. The questionnaire used in the study was self-structured and intended to collect certain data pertinent to the study's goals. It is crucial to remember that the Republic Act 8551's Title V, Section 39, is where the variable "Relevance" originated. Because it was relevant to the research focus, this section of the law provided crucial guidelines and criteria regarding the relevance of specific aspects within the context of the Philippine National Police – Internal Affairs Service. As a result, it was integrated into the questionnaire to ensure thorough coverage of pertinent factors. Determining the applicability of RA 8551, identifying internal and external barriers, examining risk-based thinking in risk management, and looking for correlations between variables is among the objectives. The study aims to provide useful recommendations for enhancing IAS operations and addressing police misconduct and corruption. The analysis comes to the conclusion that while Republic Act 8551 is generally relevant to the Philippine National Police - Internal Affairs Service (PNP-IAS), some of its tasks would require additional analysis. Moderate obstacles arise from both internal and external factors, such as public perception and budget restrictions. The PNP-IAS relies heavily on risk-based thinking to manage risks, and factors such as unit assignment, age, and duration of service affect how problems are resolved. The necessity for consistent problem-solving in order to achieve effective risk management is shown by the fact that obstacles to applying risk-based thinking are not strongly correlated with either internal or external factors.

Le revenu, l’éducation et l’emploi sont souvent utilisés comme indicateurs du statut socio-économique(SSE), chacun renseignant probablement sur des dimensions différentes. Ce n’est cependant pas clair si l’association entre chaque indicateur du SSE et le cancer du poumon est médiée par les mêmes facteurs et avec la même ampleur. Cette étude évalue comment les facteurs comme le tabagisme, l’alimentation et les expositions professionnelles peuvent expliquer l’association entre le SSE et le risque de cancer du poumon.
Perception de l’état de santé et de la vieillesse chez les personnes âgées en milieu rurale. Etude menée dans la localité de Kole en R.D. Congo

Published: January 2025

Le vieillissement de la population affecte la santé physique et psychique, et entraîne de sérieux problèmes socio- sanitaires. Les personnes âgées font partie des populations les plus vulnérables, avec les femmes et les enfants. Il faut noter que si traditionnellement les personnes âgées en Afrique jouissaient du respect et à l'attention de leur entourage, cette situation évolue négativement face au nombre croissant de charges familiales où les ressources sont très limitées, et où la modernisation très rapide limite la valorisation de la mémoire et de l'expérience des anciens. En RD Congo, l’ampleur du phénomène du vieillissement, va de même grandissant où il faut prévoir des réponses face aux problèmes médicaux, à l'alimentation, le logement, les problèmes de maltraitances. Négliger ce phénomène entraîne des conséquences qui affecteront le tissu social, familial et sanitaire. Nous avons menée une étude qualitative en 2011, dans la localité de Kole dans le District de Sankuru, en République Démocratique du Congo.Le but de l’étude est de comprendre comment les personnes âgées perçoivent-elles leur état de santé, quelles sont leurs demandes, leurs attentes, leurs souhaits et ceux de leur entourage afin d’éveiller l'attention des décideurs politiques, les associations, les communautés villageoises sur les problèmes qu'engendre le vieillissement en vue d’améliorer leur l'état et leur bien-être.

In land law, the word ‘land’ is used in a juridical sense, as an understanding that has been given an official limitation by the UUPA. Article 4 states that land in the juridical sense is the surface of the earth. Many things need to be considered in land sale and purchase transactions, one of which is the obligation to be made by/and sign a deed in front of a Notary/PPAT so that the transfer becomes legal and has legal certainty While Notary is regulated in Law No. 30 of 2004, it is stated that public officials are authorised to make authentic deeds and other authorities as referred to in this Law.

The growth of Chili pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacquin.) is affected by biotic and abiotic stresses. Abiotic stress such as waterlogging increases the expression of ACS (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase) enzyme. This enzyme plays a great role in the process of ethylene biosynthesis and encoded by multiple genes. Waterlogging causes hypoxia condition. One of ACS enzymes that responds to hypoxia condition is ACS2. The different respond to hypoxia stress among plant was assumed to be caused by a different structure of the ACS2 enzyme. This study aimed to identify and confirm the active site of Capsicum chinense Jacquin ACS2  using modeling and in silico docking. The result of the three-dimensional (3D) structure modeling showed 91% similarity of Capsicum chinense Jacquin ACS2 with the structure of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The Capsicum chinense ACS2 confirmed five active sites that bind to the substrates asparagin396B, valine397B, thyrosine152B, threonine128B, and thyrosine92A.
