Pozitív polaritású elemek a magyarban
Authors: Surányi Balázs , Gulás Máté
Published: January 2025

Tanulmányunk fókuszában a magyar nyelv diszjunkciót kifejező funkciószava, a vagy polaritás érzékenységének empirikus vizsgálata áll. A diszjunkciót kódoló elemek feltételezett pozitív polaritás érzékenységéről a korábbi kísérletes szakirodalom eredményei némileg ellentmondásos képet festenek mind a magyarban, mind számos más nyelvben. Elfogadhatósági kísérletünkben kimutatjuk, hogy míg a vagy-gyal azonos alosztályba sorolható két „klasszikus” pozitív polaritású elemtípus - az egy határozatlan névelővel bevezetett főnévi szintagmák és a határozatlan vala-névmások - valóban többé-kevésbé elfogadhatatlanok velük azonos tagmondatban álló mondattagadás logikai hatókörében, addig a vagy ugyanebben a környezetben inkább csak mérsékelten csökkent elfogadhatóságú. Ez az eredmény a pozitív polaritás érzékenység jelentős heterogenitására utal, mely mögött akár az egyes elemek polaritás érzékenységének kiváltó okai közötti lényegi eltérések is húzódhatnak.

The Frames of Romance Scamming
Authors: Faber Pamela
Published: January 2025

This paper studies love fraud or romance scamming as scripted communication within a commercial transaction frame. The main participants are the seller (fraudster), buyer (victim), goods (long-term romantic relationship), and money (paid by the victim). The data for this study were collected from 53 conversations between fraudsters and the author. The romance scamming frame was activated by language and lexical choices and geared to winning her trust. The process took place in stages or subframes that guided the victim towards the payment of a large sum of money. These subframes also corresponded to the different ‘subformats’ of an authentic script or ‘format’ used by romance scammers in West Africa.
Exploring the Status of Voiceless Labiovelar Fricative /ʍ/ in Contemporary American English
Authors: Walczak Dominika
Published: January 2025

The study attempts to investigate the current status of the voiceless labiovelar fricative /ʍ/ in American English with reference to selected sociolinguistic variables, such as age, regional background, formality of the speech and prestige. The study comprises 17 subjects and 34 recordings of their speech – two recordings of a different level of formality per each speaker. All of the analyzed recordings are available online. The analysis focuses on wh-words, such as e.g. why, while, whale or white. In the first part of the study, the number of wh-context words in each speech is juxtaposed with the actual production of the researched variable. The second part of the study concentrates on the comparison of the obtained qualitative data with selected social variables. The results of the study may not only broaden the understanding of the voiceless labiovelar fricative use in American English but may also have pedagogical implications to whether the variable should be included in the phonetic courses on American English.
Deep Listening: Transcribing Videos to Enhance Learners’ FL Listening Skills
Authors: Casañ Pitarch Ricardo
Published: January 2025

Deep listening is an educational approach that involves a high degree of concertation to decode a message. Transcribing is one of the most usual activities within this approach. This research aims to assess the efficiency of the deep listening approach among engineering degree students taking the subject of English B2. The students had to transcribe six videos in a period of twelve weeks, and their progress was measured with three listening tests that the students had to complete before, during, and after the twelve weeks. Their results were compared to those of a control group that watched the same videos. However, their exercises consisted of responding to open questions about the content of each video. Results showed that the experimental group had more significant progress than the control group, especially during the first six weeks of the experiment. In conclusion, the deep listening approach, more concretely transcription, seems to be a valuable resource for teachers that helps learners further develop their listening skills.

Investigation of the Relationship Between Somatotype Structures and Respiratory Functions of Ski-mountaineering National Athletes
Authors: Kural Burak
Published: January 2025

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between somatotype structures and respiratory functions of national ski-mountaineering athletes.
Methods: Nine male athletes (age 19.66±2.12 years, height 175.3±5.19 cm, body weight 68.55±2.69 kg) and four female athletes (age 17.25±0.95 years, height 164±8.58 cm, body weight 57±4,24 kg) participated in the study. Height, body weight, skinfold thickness, width and circumference measurements were taken. The somatotype structures of the athletes were determined by Heath-Carter method and pulmonary function measurements were determined by digital spirometer. Descriptive analysis, t-test, and Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the data.
Results: As a result of the analysis, the mean somatotype structure of male athletes was 3−5−2 (Endomorphic−Mesomorphic) and the mean somatotype structure of female athletes was 4−4−3 (Mesomorphic-Endomorphic). The pulmonary function test results of the athletes were within the normal range and showed higher performance than expected. It was determined that the FVC and MEF25% values of the athletes whose somatotype structures were ectomorphic-mesomorphic were higher than the endomorph-ectomorphic ones and there was a significant difference between them. In addition, there was a negative correlation between FVC and endomorphic somatotype structures and body fat percentages of the athletes. No significant correlation was found in other variables.
Conclusion: The lung function of the athletes was healthy and strong, and somatotype structures especially affected their vital capacity and airways. The FEV1/FVC values of the athletes were lower than expected, shows that the athletes in our study group had a narrowing and obstructive condition in the large airways.

A concepção de Tempo nos Escritos de Cullmann e Canale: semelhanças, diferenças e complementações
Authors: Darius Fábio Augusto , Pfeiffer Marcelo
Published: January 2025

Desde o segundo século da igreja cristã primitiva, estudiosos cristãos têm concebido o plano da salvação sob o ponto de vista da atemporalidade divina. Ao longo da história da igreja perpetuou-se os dogmas da imutabilidade e impassibilidade. Entretanto, voltando à exegese bíblica neotestamentária, em 1946 Oscar Cullmann, teólogo luterano, defendeu a temporalidade. Na teologia Adventista do Sétimo Dia, em 1983 Fernando Canale defendeu sua tese na área da teologia sistemática sobre a temporalidade de Deus. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é comparar os escritos de Cullmann e de Canale a respeito da temporalidade, verificando as respectivas semelhanças e complementações. Esse estudo utiliza o método histórico-bibliográfico como ferramenta de pesquisa. A pesquisa conclui que enquanto Cullmann desenvolveu o tema da temporalidade sob a óptica do ministério terrestre de Cristo, Canale o fez sob o prisma do ministério celestial. Se por um lado Cullmann escreveu com interesse na linha da história da salvação, Canale contribuiu na relação do santuário celestial com o plano da salvação. Ambos contribuíram na reedificação do pensamento bíblico-histórico-temporal.

Authors: Köhler Kitti
Published: January 2025

2006 és 2009 között az M6-os autópálya építését megelőző feltárások során a késő neolit lengyeli kultúra nagy kiterjedésű temetője került feltárásra. A különböző intézmények által egyidejűleg végzett feltárások során derült ki, hogy a különböző azonosítóval ellátott lelőhelyszakaszok összetartoznak. Alábbiakban Bátaszék határának ÉNy-i részén, a Lajvér patak partján feltárt temetőrészlet embertani vizsgálatának eredményeit közöljük. A vizsgálatok rendelkezésére álló 51 sír demográfiai, hagyományos morfometriai, paleopatológiai elemzése alapvetően megerősítette a korábban már jelen tanulmány szerzőjének a doktori munkáját képező 10/B lelőhelyszakaszon feltárt 859 temetkezés analízisének eredményeit. A nagy kiterjedésű, több, mint 2000 síros temető egy újabb, korábban külön egységként kezelt szakaszán feltárt embertani leletek vizsgálatának eredményeivel kívánunk további adatokat közölni, annak reményében, hogy a lelőhely összes sírjának vizsgálati eredményei is közlésre kerülnek a közeljövőben.
Fogmorfológiai tulajdonságok filogeográfiai összefüggései az archeogenetikai adatok fényében
Authors: Kis Luca
Published: January 2025

Among the methods belonging to the toolkit of anthropological research, dental non-metric studies investigating the morphological traits of teeth are currently one of the most common for examining the biological relationships between populations. Despite the spread of archaeogenetic analyses, a study comparing the results of genetic and dental non-metric analyses of the same individuals is unique internationally. In order to address this hiatus, the subject of our study was the dentition of individuals from the Avar and Hungarian Conquest periods of the Carpathian Basin, for whom published whole-genome data were available. Taking advantage of this unique opportunity, the aim of the PhD thesis was to test and develop a literature-based method, and to validate this method with genetic data. For recording the dental non-metric traits, the latest version of the widely known Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS)-based method was used with minor modifications. To examine the genetic composition of the studied individuals, we performed a supervised ADMIXTURE analysis. Our research has validated the usefulness of dental non-metric analyses for understanding the origins of past populations using genetic data. Furthermore, we have developed a method, supported by genetic data, that can be used to provide estimates of ancestry even at the individual level. Although our study has highlighted the potential of dental non-metric studies, it has also revealed methodological problems and limitations in testing methods and hypotheses that can only be overcome by extending the study material.

The excavation campaign of Mass Grave No. IV. started at the National Memorial Park of Mohács in June 2024. The well-organized, intensive archaeological and field anthropological work was carried out in cooperation between the Department of Archaeology, Janus Pannonius Museum and the Department of Biological Anthropology, University of Szeged. The observations of the field anthropology studies were very similar to the Mass Grave No. III. excavation (carried out between 2020 and 2022): frequently fragmented and incomplete, mixed and damaged skeletal remains, predominance of young male skeletons, abundance of perimortem cut wounds observed first on skull bones and cervical vertebrae, quite frequent occurrence of skeletal infection traces. After a period of 10 weeks, the excavation campaign was finished with the completion of the fieldwork. Immediately after that, the skeletal remains of an undetermined number of individuals (but very probably between one and two hundred) were transported to the Department of Biological Anthropology of the University of Szeged, where the washing and preliminary anthropological analysis of the skeletons was about to begin.

Authors: Martins Cátia , Lima Daniela , Cortez Ferreira Mariana , Verdelho Andrade Joana , Dias Andrea
Published: January 2025

Introdução: As infeções associadas aos cuidados de saúde são uma causa importante de morbimortalidade na população pediátrica, representando um problema crescente nos serviços de cuidados intensivos. Contudo, existem poucos estudos que caracterizam a realidade destas infeções na população pediátrica portuguesa. Este estudo pretendeu avaliar a sua prevalência num serviço de cuidados intensivos pediátrico português, identificando os microrganismos mais frequentes e o respetivo perfil de resistência aos antibióticos.Métodos: Estudo de coorte retrospetivo que incluiu os doentes admitidos num serviço de cuidados intensivos pediátrico entre 1 de janeiro de 2014 e 31 de dezembro de 2023, com diagnóstico de infeções associadas aos cuidados de saúde durante o internamento.Resultados: Identificaram-se 248 casos, correspondendo a uma prevalência de 6,3%, a maioria em lactentes. As infeções mais frequentes forampneumonia (45,2%) e bacteriemia (14,5%), sendo os agentes infeciosos mais comuns os Gram negativos, nomeadamente a Escherichia coli, a Pseudomonasaeruginosa e a Klebsiella pneumoniae. Observou-se um aumento global das resistências antibióticas nos últimos cinco anos (2019 - 2023). A taxa de infeção por bactérias produtoras de ESBL, MRSA e ERC foi, respetivamente, 8,5%, 1,6% e 0,4%, superior nos anos 2019 - 2023. Houve 45 colonizações em 41 doentes (num total de 97 pesquisas realizadas): 40 a ESBL e 5 a ERC (sem colonizações por MRSA). A sépsis ocorreu em 29,8% casos e a mortalidade foi de 11,7% (4,0% devido à IACS). A exposição a tubo endotraqueal e a ventilação invasiva de longa duração associaram-sea maior probabilidade de desenvolver pneumonia (OR = 2,5; IC 95%, 1,1 a 5,9; p = 0,03; e OR = 1,9; IC 95%, 1,1 a 3,4; p = 0,011; respetivamente).Conclusão: É fundamental implementar estratégias eficazes para prevenir e controlar a disseminação das bactérias resistentes, assegurando a eficácia das terapêuticas atuais, a segurança dos doentes e a proteção da saúde pública.

Authors: Meira e Cruz Miguel , Gozal David , Salles Cristina , Rocha Isabel , Ettlin Dominik
Published: January 2025

The existence of intersected pathways between the mechanisms of insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing and persistent/chronic pain has been documented. Such concurrence will eventually contribute to a higher burden of cardiometabolic diseases, a main cause of death worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interactions between insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, cardiometabolic risk, and psychosocial stress in patients seeking care at an orofacial pain clinic. Anonymized data of 1236 patients seeking care at the orofacial pain unit of the University of Zurich were analysed. Prevalence data was estimated for insomnia, sleep disordered breathing/sleep apnea and increased risk of a combination of insomnia and sleep disordered breathing/sleep apnea, both regarding demographics and cardiometabolic risk factors. Psychosocial stress factors acting as additional cardiometabolic risk factors were assessed. Among patients with persistent orofacial pain, increased risk of combination of insomnia and sleep disordered breathing/ sleep apnea was present in 11.5% of cases, and it was likely to increase psychosocial stress as an aditional independent risk factor for cardiometabolicdisorder.
O novo anjo encarnado do arquivo

Published: January 2025

Este artigo explora o “anjo encarnado do arquivo,” inspirado pela metáfora do "Angelus Novus" de Walter Benjamin, considerando os arquivos como entidades vivas que inspiram novas narrativas poéticas. Baseando-se em autores críticos ao neoliberalismo, investiga as forças macro e micropolíticas que moldam a "mania de arquivar" no mundo contemporâneo. O estudo critica a mercantilização neoliberal da memória e o impacto do capitalismo de vigilância sobre a experiência mnemônica ao propor um "novo anjo do arquivo" que resista ao fetichismo neoliberal do algoritmo, oferecendo uma nova relação com a memória e a história.
Pedagogia histórico-crítica em contexto de reformas educativas neoliberais no ensino médio
Authors: Casagrande Fernanda Gabriela de Rezende , Pereira Mateus Camargo
Published: January 2025

A Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica (PHC) é uma perspectiva marxista que propõe que os conteúdos a serem desenvolvidos na escola devem emergir da realidade dinâmica e concreta do(da) estudante, a fim de propiciar uma nova compreensão da realidade social. A tradução desta pedagogia para a Educação Física se deu pelo Currículo Crítico-Superador (CCS), trazendo a cultura corporal como a base para o ensino da disciplina, na qual as Práticas Corporais de Aventura (PCA) se apresentam como uma das temáticas possíveis. A partir disso, o objetivo do estudo é realizar uma investigação acerca da organização das aulas de Educação Física no Ensino Médio com a temática PCA embasadas na PHC, compreendendo e analisando os limites e possibilidades de uma prática libertadora no contexto de avanço do neoliberalismo em uma Escola Estadual do sul de Minas Gerais. Para isso, realizamos uma pesquisa intervenção, constituindo os dados a partir do diário de campo e da construção de um grupo de foco. Foi possível debater a presença dos marcadores socioculturais e sua influência no acesso às PCA, a consciência socioambiental, a importância do processo educativo para a consciência de classe e os limites e as possibilidades da proposta pedagógica. Com o estudo, percebemos a possibilidade da presença da PHC no ambiente escolar, e seu potencial como ferramenta de subversão ao neoliberalismo adjacente às reformas educacionais. Além disso, reiteramos a importância de propostas que ampliam as possibilidades de um fazer docente crítico, em busca de mudanças na realidade social.

Exploring Hermeneutical Interpretation to Develop a Theoretical Model in Caring Science
Authors: Karlsson Margareta , Kasén Anne
Published: January 2025

The aim of this study is to illuminate how hermeneutical interpretation at different levels moves in a circle from empirical findings toward a theoretical model. The methodology is inspired by Gadamer’s hermeneutical approach. The theoretical model builds on four substudies of nurses’ perspectives in end-of-life care. The material was obtained from a clinical context through individual and focus group interviews. The hermeneutical interpretation in the study moves from an empirical understanding of what a nurse does in caring and what it is like to be a nurse to the interpretation of the empirical assumptions in dialogue with selected texts from Kierkegaard.
Evaluation of Simulation Learning to Promote Empathy in Nursing Students Across the Curriculum: A Mixed Method Study
Authors: Kuhnly Joan Esper , Holden Jessica , Shelley Lynn , Kuhnly Nicole
Published: January 2025

Empathy is a foundational nursing principle necessary for caring. Limited data exist on the effective methods for teaching empathy. Six simulation activities were conducted (stool/ostomy, stroke, hearing voices, pregnancy, poverty, and bedpan/adult diaper) with nursing students across multiple education levels, yielding 138 simulations. Quantitative analyses compared the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire scores pre- and postsimulation. Krippendorff’s content analysis identified 3–11.2 empathic statements per reflective journal after four simulations. Colaizzi’s phenomenological analysis resulted in seven themes that describe the students’ experience of gaining empathy. The results support simulation activities as an effective educational pedagogy in nursing curricula to support attainment of empathic behaviors.

Authors: Trianloka A. M. Bagas , Chabib Lutfi , Ramadani Arba Pramundita
Published: January 2025

Background: Essential oils (EO), such as lavender (Lavandula spp.), which are derived from its flower, have become a growing trend in recent years as an alternative medicine in therapy. However, the poor physicochemical properties of EOs have several disadvantages for their application. Integrating nanotechnology into the formulation of medicinal dosage forms may provide a viable way to mitigate these limitations and improve the effectiveness of EO utilization.Objective: This literature review aims to gather information on the medicinal benefits of lavender EO and the prospective applications of nanotechnology-based delivery systems for EOs.Method: Online databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, Research Gate, Google Scholar, and other reliable sources were used to find 65 publications between 1991 and 2021, which are assessed in this review.Results: It is revealed that the main constituents of lavender EO are linalool, linalyl acetate, and lavandulyl acetate. Its effectiveness as an antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-anxiety, and having effects on the central nervous system, along with other qualities including pain relief, has been demonstrated via numerous studies. Additionally, it was demonstrated to have dermatological properties that helped treat dermatitis and encouraged both hair growth and wound healing. Furthermore, it was also found that the application of nanotechnology in EOs has improved the concentration of active compounds in the blood and produced a stable dosage form while also increasing its efficacy.Conclusion: It is feasible to create nanoparticle dosage forms from lavender EO that can improve the substance's solubility, stability, and pharmacological effects. More research is necessary to formulate lavender EO by applying nanotechnology.

A mathematical model that comprehensively captures the behavior of mobile riverbed deformation encompassing all pertinent effects was developed. The underwater slope reformation process with the generatrix aligned along the flow velocity in the model was considered. A numerical model was introduced to calculate the flow involving a deformable bottom, and the model's validation was established through rigorous analysis of the experimental findings. This research confirms the suitability of the proposed mathematical and numerical model for describing deformations in uneven and unsteady river flows, including the movement of dredging slots and channel quarries. The minimal equation count and reliance on empirical constants demonstrate the efficiency of the model. The model's predictions aligned firmly with the experimental data, although the optimal values of the empirical coefficients varied slightly across different experiments. Hence, there is a call for further investigation to derive more universally applicable closure relationships for the model. The importance of validating the model with reliable field data and its potential extension to accommodate hydraulically diverse soils is emphasized. Such an extension is feasible because of the concentration transfer equation, which enables independent calculations for particle fractions of varying sizes as long as the total particle concentration in the stream remains within reasonable limits. This dedicated research contributes to understanding riverbed deformation, advancing accurate modeling, and managing riverine environments.

Authors: Walker Kyle
Published: January 2025

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has emerged as a critical technology in the field of medical imaging, offering significant applications in areas such as brain imaging and breast imaging. This paper provides an in-depth examination of the evolving trends in NIRS, with a particular focus on its integration with other imaging modalities like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG). The discussion highlights the progress made in combining these techniques to enhance the breadth and depth of medical diagnostics. Key challenges associated with NIRS are thoroughly explored, including issues related to its spatial resolution, sensitivity to deeper tissues, and the influence of extracerebral structures on signal specificity. Efforts to improve the quantitative accuracy of hemodynamic measurements are also addressed, with particular attention to overcoming obstacles posed by tissue heterogeneity and limited spatial resolution. Further, the paper delves into the advancements in diffuse optical tomography, the ongoing development of NIRS instrumentation, and the role of clinical trials in validating its diagnostic reliability for breast imaging. Emphasis is placed on the need for standardized practices, the seamless integration of NIRS into routine clinical workflows, and the opportunities for future research to address unresolved challenges and expand the utility of this promising technology.
Lense Thirring Effect Applied to Small Rotating Objects
Authors: Cuesta Gutierrez Francisco Javier
Published: January 2025

Objects with angular momentum (rotation) are known to exhibit an effect called LenseThirring (LT) precession whereby locally inertial frames are dragged along the rotating spacetime. Such effect has been usually associated to celestial bodies, and especially studied in the case of black holes and neutron stars, but I show here that Lense Thirring precession can be also very relevant for small objects under some specific conditions exposed in this paper. The precession effect is calculated for any object rotating around of one of its axes of symmetry, regardless of its rotation speed, mass and moment of inertia. The influence of Lense-Thirring in such objects allows to create concavities and convexities in space-time around them. As consequence, the gravity effect over them can be counteracted, experimenting effects equivalents to partial gravity, zero gravity and even anti-gravity. Different objects in morphology and density (homogeneus) are studied as examples using some simplifications but the method could be widely extended to anyone. Kerr spacetime metric is applied. Some limitations of Kerr metric are also exposed. A set of graphics showing the relevance of LT effect in function of morphology, colatitude, size, number of rpm and even kind of material are created. Finally an analysis of the results obtained is done. As consequence of them, it’s proven that LT effect should be also taken on account to be applied not only to small objects but to space crafts designs. This paper arises as a “second part” of the Zero Gravity Theory , as a consequence of have been this Theory widely proven. This study applies the same concepts involved in the Zero Gravity Theory but counteracting in this case the gravity with the consequences of applying Lense-Thirring effect instead simply spin .

The combination of stochastic derivative pricing models and downside risk measures often leads to the paradox (risk,return)=(-infinity,+infinity) in a portfolio choice problem. The construction of a portfolio of derivatives with high expected return and very negative downside risk (henceforth "golden strategy") has been only studied if all the involved derivatives have the same underlying asset. This paper also considers multi-asset derivatives, gives practical methods to build multi-asset golden strategies for both the expected shortfall and the expectile risk measure, and shows that the use of multi-asset options makes it more efficient the performance of the obtained golden strategy. Practical rules are given under the Black-Scholes-Merton multi-dimensional pricing model.

The field of smart textiles is increasingly growing, producing a variety of new textile materials and fabric functionalities. Yet, significant challenges in areas such as washing, durability, electronic interfacing, and sustainability prevail. To gain widespread adoption, electronically integrated garments will need to rely on robust, fully integrated, and lightweight fiber-based conductive systems. In this paper, we propose the use of Ultralong Carbon Nanotube (UCNT) yarns, as a potential solution to some of the challenges mentioned above. In UCNT, the fibers’ ratio between width and length is orders of magnitude larger than typical carbon nanotube fibers. Amongst other advantages, this enables the manufacturing of stable, workable yarns, made of a network of twisted fibers (tows), which are suitable for integration in fabrics. Our research includes the creation of textile prototype demonstrators integrated with UCNT yarns, which were tested under military-grade textile standards for both mechanical durability and electric functionality. The demonstrators were surveyed before, during and after the various tests, including washability, abrasion, and weathering. The results provide some encouraging results, especially in instances where the UCNT yarns were enhanced by a polymer coating, which provided improved mechanical properties and electrical durability. After washing, tests of the washing residue revealed the presence of UCNT nanofibers, which are banned by the World Health Organization. The paper discusses the possible source of the nanofibers in the washing residue and proposes future improvements to the coating and the testing method. A detailed account of the prototype demonstrators is provided including the weaving pattern, the electronic circuitry, and the component configuration, which enables functionalities of heating, haptic alert, fabric tear detection, touch sensing and moisture detection.

Data from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans can effectively assist physicians in diagnosing and treating brain tumors. However, images from different modalities have their advantages and limitations. Multimodal medical image fusion is the process of extracting and merging the information of every single modality medical image and retaining the characteristic information of each modality to the maximum extent. Therefore, this paper proposes a medical image fusion method based on multi-scale contextual reasoning to address the problems of the scattered size distribution of pathological regions, inconspicuous detail features, and extensive visual differences between similar tissue images. Firstly, the original image is decomposed by the method to get the global part and the local part. Secondly, the multi-scale feature extraction network (MSFE-Net) mines the different regions between multi-level features and improves the network’s ability to extract pathological features at different scales. Meanwhile, the attention module is introduced to perform channel-weighted summation of the network feature maps to improve the feature expression ability of key channels so that the network can accurately capture the pathological feature regions. Thirdly, in the loss function design, multiple losses are used further to optimize the distribution of the sample feature space. This paper conducted experiments using clinical images from computed tomography/magnetic resonance/ of the brain. The experimental results show that the medical image fusion method based on multi-scale contextual inference works better than other advanced fusion methods.

Rice plants are a staple food for Indonesian people. Low crop productivity causes farmers to feel at a loss. Low rice yields are also caused by pests that attack plants, one of which is ganjur (Orselia oryzae). Efforts must be made to suppress the ganjur attack by trialling fertilizer application to rice plants. Research was conducted to determine the effect of fertilizer application in reducing the percentage of Orseolia oryzae attacks on rice plants. The method used in this research used a randomized block design (RBD) with 1 treatment factor, namely the type of fertilizer. The treatment levels for the types of fertilizer used are as follows: F0: control; F1: Cow dung; F2: Composted Organic Fertilizer; F3: Single NPK Fertilizer, P4: Compound NPK Fertilizer (16:16:16). The research began with making organic fertilizer (cow dung and compost), planting, applying treatment, collecting data, and analyzing observation data. The research results show that the application of cow dung fertilizer provides the best results compared to other fertilizers. The application of cow dung fertilizer produced the highest data based on the observed variables in this study, namely number of tillers, number of panicles, weight of 1000 grains, production per plot and reduced percentage of gallbladder pest attacks. Based on this research, the application of cow dung fertilizer can suppress attacks by ganjur pests (Orselia oryzae) while increasing the productivity of rice plants.
