The number of choking deaths reported in children aged 0-9 years old, in Brazil, from 2009 to 2019, was 2,148. The average number of cases per year, from 2009 to 2019, was 195.27. In the decade considered, notifications of deaths due to choking in this age group showed no major changes, ranging from 174 in 2018 to 233 cases in 2013 (increase of 33.9%). The research investigated the level of knowledge of early childhood education professionals at a public daycare center in relation to the appropriate procedures to be adopted in cases of choking in children. It seeks to identify whether these professionals are prepared to deal with emergency situations, considering the importance of ongoing training and first aid training. This is descriptive research, with a qualitative and quantitative approach and cross-sectional design, carried out with 24 early childhood education professionals in Formoso do Araguaia-TO. Data were collected through a face-to-face questionnaire with 19 easy-to-understand questions on sociodemographic variables, experience with first aid, specific knowledge, variables related to attitude and variables related to aptitude. The results reveal significant gaps in educators' knowledge, highlighting the need for training programs that guarantee the safety and well-being of children.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a potentially disabling syndrome and a rheumatological disease in which its main characteristic is chronic generalized musculoskeletal pain. The pain of FM is not only related to a lesion or pathology that affects the somatic-sensory nervous system, but is also related to a modification in the central nervous system that is comparable to an impairment of the pain-suppressing mechanisms. It is therefore characterized as dysfunctional pain. Thus, the aim of this study is to report on the quality of life and functional capacity of patients with fibromyalgia who are treated at the physiotherapy school clinic at the University of Gurupi - Unirg. A cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative study was carried out. The data was obtained by filling in self-administered questionnaires by patients interested in taking part in the study. The epidemiological profile of the women diagnosed with fibromyalgia is that they live in urban areas, have an average age of between 50 and 60 and are retired. It can be concluded that fibromyalgia can have a negative effect on various areas of the lives of affected patients, mainly due to the generalized pain that affects quality of life and the development of daily, physical and work activities.

Authors: Pan Jeng-Shyang , Zhang Si-Qi , Chu Shu-Chuan , Hu Chia-Cheng , Wu Jie
Published: November 2024

Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA) finds the best solution to the optimization problem by the periodicity of sine and cosine trigonometric functions. However, it is computationally intensive and contains many parameters to be determined. Fortunately, there are FPGA platforms that can be used to overcome these limitations by improving latency. Sine and cosine calculation in library functions is very complex and time-consuming. Therefore, this paper proposes a hardware-accelerated CORDIC algorithm to improve the sine cosine trigonometric function that needs to be computed in the SCA algorithm. The proposed algorithm (HSCA) combines the accelerated SCA algorithm and the CORDIC algorithm. HSCA performance is tested by using six test functions run on the FPGA. The experimental results show that HSCA is 3.25 times faster and 33% fewer resource utilizations for solving optimization problems, and runs significantly faster on FPGAs with IP cores than on Soc chips in FPGAs. The performance of the HSCA algorithm is demonstrated by applying it to the TDOA localization problem.

Published: November 2024

In the past few years, there has been a noticeable surge in the utilization of artificial intelligence techniques within the realm of talent evaluation, particularly in response to the exponential growth of big data. Conventional talent evaluation approaches, typically relying on the integration of expertise and system-based title appraisal, are plagued with challenges including errors in subjective judgment. The strategic importance of intelligent talent assessment cannot be overemphasized, especially for discovering and fostering high-potential talent across various domains, inclusive of research. This paper introduces an innovative method, termed TE-RCB, auxiliary applications in the evaluation of actual talent titles. The initial stage of this method’s execution involves the meticulous construction of a talent evaluation dataset. This data is sourced from actual talent title applications and standardized scores provided by simulation expert engineers. The subsequent step is the application of the RoBERTa-WWM-large model, employed for the vectorization of pertinent information indispensable for talent evaluation. Further, the TextCNN model is utilized for the extraction of critical features from the talent-related information, succeeded by the application of the BiLSTM model to delve into deeper semantic correlations within the talent attributes. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on both the talent evaluation dataset and the publicly available dataset. The empirical outcomes decisively underline the superior accuracy of the proposed method, asserting its efficacy in addressing the pertinent challenges in the domain of intelligent talent assessment.
A Mutation-Based Data Enhancement Approach for Software Vulnerability Detection
Authors: Su Lianyi , Hu Jie , Zheng Wei
Published: November 2024

Effective software vulnerability detection is paramount for ensuring the security of software systems. However, the presence of imbalanced data in extensive datasets often leads to overfitting on non-vulnerable code and suboptimal performance on vulnerable code. Traditional methods of collecting vulnerable data frequently fall short in capturing the complexities of real-world scenarios. This paper proposes a mutation-based data enhancement approach to tackle this challenge, with a focus on capturing essential traits of vulnerable source code. Our approach systematically extracts traits from extensive vulnerable source code and employs mutation operators to introduce high-level alterations. We evaluate the convergence of multiple mutation rounds using a diversity index to ensure consistent enhancements. By selecting the most effective mutation operators for subsequent model training, our approach achieves substantial accuracy improvements across diverse datasets and deep neural network models. This work represents the initial version of our approach, with continuous refinements underway to facilitate practical implementation and address real-world security challenges.

Published: November 2024

Cognitive Load is a theory that describes the amount of mental resources a person uses to complete a learning task. Mental resources are a person's cognitive abilities including mind, attention, memory and problem solving skills. Cognitive load in learning that occurs in the classroom describes the condition of students in dealing with learning tasks. The independent curriculum is the curriculum currently used at all levels of education including primary education. However, the curriculum faces problems both in terms of teachers and learners. The purpose of this study was to describe the condition of intrinsic, extrinsic and germane cognitive load of students during learning when using an independent curriculum. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The data collection technique used purposive sampling as many as 6 informants consisting of 2 teachers and 4 students. The results of this study are the intrinsic cognitive load of students found in IPAS, PPKN, Mathematics, English and Javanese subjects. In addition, the intrinsic cognitive load is triggered by giving assignments and motivation or interest in learning from the students themselves. Extrinsic cognitive load was triggered by the lecture learning method used by the instructor or teacher due to the use of high vocabulary. Extrinsic cognitive load is also triggered by the condition of the learning environment, namely the noisy or crowded atmosphere inside and outside the classroom. The germane cognitive load is triggered when the teacher or lecturer presents the subject matter.

The development of digital skills for teachers is important in the digital era, especially in the effective integration of technology into teaching and learning. This research focuses on the development of a training program based on Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) to enhance teachers' ability to utilize educational technology. The program was developed using the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation, to create relevant and adaptive training experiences. The program focuses on a development process designed to meet the diverse needs of participants and address barriers to digital training implementation in various educational contexts. The training results show that the majority of participants successfully mastered the basic TPACK competencies and demonstrated high levels of satisfaction. The program also adapts its approach based on the characteristics and needs of participants at each educational level, incorporating both online and face-to-face sessions. Despite challenges in infrastructure and accessibility, the program has been proven to significantly enhance teachers' digital skills, as evidenced by good graduation rates and positive participant perceptions of the training benefits. Therefore, this TPACK-based training can serve as an effective model in teacher professional development.
Toxic Battery: Pollution as a Dignitary Tort
Authors: Polk Amber
Published: November 2024

Corporate interests have contaminated the world and our bodies with chemical pollutants in pursuit of profit. In this Article, I argue that this contamination of our bodies with chemicals constitutes an offensive battery, a violation of our right to be free from nonconsensual contacts. I describe how our bodies are contaminated via factory discharges, train derailments and chemical spills, our use of consumer goods, and the workplace. I argue that traditional toxic tort and statutory environmental law do nothing to prevent this and in fact encourage polluting behaviors by limiting the polluters’ right to pollute only when the pollution can be scientifically shown to cause us physical harm. I discuss how pollution in the absence of physical harm still violates our interest in bodily integrity and autonomy and treats us as less than, as mere means for corporate interests to realize their profits. I analyze the prima facie case for treating pollution as an offensive battery, focusing on the elements of voluntary act, intent, and offense. I evaluate consent and necessity as possible defenses and conclude that they do not hold in most cases of chemical pollution. I discuss the remedies available for pollution victims, including compensatory damages for those who need medical monitoring, punitive damages to punish the polluters who wantonly disregard our rights for their own profits, and injunctive relief to stop ongoing polluting behaviors and inform the public about the chemicals to which they are exposed through consumer goods.
     In sum, this Article is an attempt at a first step to putting up meaningful boundaries on the cavalier polluting behaviors that have gotten us to this point. There is an urgent need to curtail the discharge of novel substances, in particular, and toxic offensive battery is a theory of liability that could be employed to hold polluters accountable. It is also a theory of liability that reflects a different way of thinking about our relationship to pollution, something we desperately need after more than fifty years of ineffective policies.
Enhancing seismic resilience of telecommunication tower using response spectrum analysis: A study with and without viscous dampers
Authors: Meti Ashok , Malipatil Swapnil
Published: November 2024

In regions with varying seismic activity, maintaining communication networks during earthquakes relies strictly on the seismic resilience of telecommunication towers. This study assesses the effectiveness of viscous dampers in enhancing seismic performance in telecommunication towers using response spectrum analysis. Different seismic zones like II, III, IV, and V along with different soil conditions viz., hard, medium, and soft soils are considered for the analysis. Its effects on some of the main structural parameters such as base shear, story displacement, and story drift are computed. Base shear is the total seismic force acting horizontally at the base of the tower. It is presented with and without viscous dampers. Results show a significant reduction in the base shear of the towers strengthened with dampers, though this reduction is more pronounced at higher seismic zones and softer soils due to the increased magnitudes of seismic force. This decrease is also most significant in greater seismic zones as well as softer soil conditions, wherein more significant movements are experienced by the tower. In addition, story drift, that refers to the relative displacement between adjacent floors, is significantly reduced with viscous dampers and thus, there is the possibility of fewer opportunities for non-structural damage along with the overall enhancement of the stability of the tower. The outcomes focus much on the need to include dampers in structures that could effectively control seismic forces, limit structural displacement and drift, and ensure operational reliability during earthquakes.

Published: November 2024

Incorrect working postures while lowering and lifting rice sacks for extended periods can lead to muscle and bone problems, particularly affecting the skeletal muscles. This work involves repetitive movements or is performed in specific positions such as bending, tilting the neck, and standing still for long durations. Musculoskeletal disorders are generally caused by non-ergonomic work postures, long working hours, and monotonous, repetitive movements. This study aims to determine the relationship between work posture in lowering and lifting rice sacks and musculoskeletal complaints. Data collection methods included interviews, questionnaires, and the REBA observation sheet to assess work posture, as well as the Nordic Body Map observation sheet for musculoskeletal complaints, with a sample size of 30 rice transport workers. The statistical test used was Spearman's rank correlation. The results indicate a significant relationship (p-value = 0.003, r = 0.527). It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between work posture while lifting rice sacks and musculoskeletal complaints among the workers at PT X. It is recommended that workers reduce the load they carry and use assistive devices such as trolleys or lifting equipment to lessen physical workload and reduce stress on their bodies.

Published: November 2024

Planning daily activities, depending on neurophysiological chronotipology, is one of the steps, which should be taken towards the more successful, healthier, high quality life. Aperiod of time within a day during which the individuals of both sexes, different age and profession are intellectually the most optimally efficient, was determined in the paper. The chronotype of a given person was taken into account for that purpose. The research was carried out using a questionnaire. The questioned individuals were divided into four groups: 120 students at the University of Novi Sad, 50 professors at the University of Novi Sad, 50 railway workers and 50 female civil servants employed in administration. The obtained results show the following: the highest percentages of students belong to the morning chronotype. They sleep more than professors do and the optimal time convenient for mental and heavy physical work is from 11 AM to 1 PM. This data should be taken into account while planning student tests. The University professors, both male and female, belong to the morning chronotype. The female professors sleep more than male professors, but are psychologically and physically optimally productive at the same time as the male professors, from 8 AM till 10 AM. In the group of railway workers, the most common are individuals of indifferent chronotype. The highest percentage of women employed in administration belong to the morning chronotype and for their optimal psychological activity they choose the period of time between 8 and 10 AM, as well as the railway workers. According to the opinion of most people that have been questioned, among all of the abovementioned groups, the optimal five-hour working period should begin at 8.30 AM.

Published: November 2024

Aim of this work was to ascertain kind and frequency of skin sensibility to inhalation allergens and determine importance of skin allergic "prick" test. Investigation was accomplished on 141 patients by skin allergic test in vivo with standard "prick" technique. The results of work have showed that allergy is unquestionably present in the rhinosinusal diseases, as well as certain relationship between these diseases and allergic skin "prick" test, but this relationship was insufficient to determine skin allergic "prick" test as enough sensitive and specific diagnostic method for diagnose allergic rhinosinusal diseases. "Positive" allergic skin "prick" test demonstrate patient's hypersensitive reponse on inhalation allergens and existence of allergy, but not the direct connection between this hypersensitive reaction and rhinosinusal diseases. "Negative" allergic skin "prick" test not exclude existence of allergy, and for that, patients which have suspect allergy at the aim of further investigation must be apply other more sensitive and specific diagnostic method.

Published: November 2024

Although the assessment of quality of life in past 30 years became more important in the praxis of health care, measuring of quality of life is still relatively new and poorly investigated concept. Quality of life refers to the physical, physiological and social domains of health, seen as distinct areas that are influenced by a persons experiences, belifs, expectations and perceptions. Today it is a very important issue in health care practice as well as in scientific research. In our country there were no trials of measuring of quality of life, so this study could be considered as a first of that kind. Aim of this study was to show components of health and quality of life among school children and youth as well as differences considering their age. Culturally adapted version of Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ) was used as an assessment o instrument. The study was performed on a random sample of children and there parents (N =600). This paper describes the study results from parent version of questionnaire. At almost all single scales of health and quality of life, as well as on aggregate scales of physical and psychosocial well-being, most adverse values were obtained for elderly children. Significant differences were found on scales of physical health, accomplishment of social role (considering emotional state and behavior), bodily pain, mental health, self-esteem, family activities and family cohesion, as well as on a aggregate scale of physical well-being. This results confirmed an influence of age on quality of life among children.
FROM COGNITIVE TOWARD EMOTIONAL APPROACH TO PSYCHOTHERAPY OF CHEMICAL DEPENDENCE (VICE VERSA IN THE THERAPY OF THE CHEMICAL DEPENDENCE)
Authors: Leštarević M.
Published: November 2024

Drug (chemical) dependency (the excessive, maladaptive, or addictive use of drugs for no medical purposes
despite social, psychological, and physical problems that may arise from such use) is a widespread phenomenon. He (or she) loses freedom of choice. Because of a deep emotional and physical need of addicts to get a drug, their basic activity is inclined to supply “chosen” substance. Repeating use of substance and its effects, affect their health and interpersonal
relationships. Addict denies that. His (or her) possibility to recognize it is limited or ruined. Incorrect pattern of life persists.
Cognition of real facts about substance evidently does not protect enough from addiction. In this work effectiveness of a
specific, emotional approach in the therapy of addiction has been analyzed. Dependent is faced with another emotion,
supposing competitive to those of consuming “chosen” substance it is. It is expected that strong emotion could activate
available, but unattended cognitive contents. Experimental confirmation of working hypothesis is based on emotional
approach to alcohol-dependents. They have been faced with an emotional (literal and /or painted) message of anonym child in the connection with children's heavy firsthand experiences of alcoholism in the family. Facing consequences, marks and products of dependence (firsthand experienced children's desperation), experiencing strong enough emotional answer, empathy with other child, alcoholic recognizes desperation of his own related. Faced those experiences, he recognizes their own parental role in their family as negative role. Skilled psychiatrist can use that empathy as significant therapeutic factor. This empathy makes dependent able to overcome fear of changes and face the necessity to change their pattern of life. Most of them, without any further explanations have been turned into insight of addiction and oriented toward the therapy and rehabilitation. Results encourage practicing physician to apply this approach, first of all in the initiation of the therapy (realizing contacts, insight into disease) and later in the psychotherapy of any kind of chemical dependence. The key task of the therapist could be to find out specific, strong enough emotion that could be in certain case competitive to those of pleasure connected to the misuse of substance and a strong challenge to initiate cognitive processes and to change executive behaviour.

Despite of Aspirin use in acute virus infection and reduce of incidence in many parts of the world, the Reye's syndrome is also actual in our country. Reye's syndrome was described for the first time in 1963. It's a non-inflammatory encephalopathy and lipid infiltration of liver and other organs. Etiology is unknown. Some viruses, some chemical compounds,
Aspirin and genetically abnormal answer have the role. The damage of mitochondria appears. Organism is in hard catabolism. The biochemical parameters in serum and liquor were followed at 26 children cured in treated in Pediatrics Clinic in Priština in the period from 1991-1998. The extreme hypoglycemia (<2.2 mmol/L) was in 46,1%, medium hypoglycemia
(2,3-3-,3 mmol/L) in 7,7%. Three times high transaminases appeared in 46% of children. The level of chaemostasis was reduced in 11,5% of children. Half of the total number children had the higher values of urea and creatinine. Hyperproteinorachia in liquor was 27% and hypoglycorachia was 19,3%. Metabolic acidosis was present in 61,5%. Half of the children had convulsions and pneumonia. Enterocolitis, acute renal insufficiency, anemy and urinary infection were also present.

Vitiligo manifests with hypopigmentated and depigmentated plates on the skin and mucous membranes. Etiopathogenic mechanism of disease appearing is not completely explained, though there are theories explaning the appearance of the disease. Precipitant factors, especially psyhotic stress, are very important for the appearance of the disease. The
patients usually come because of cosmetics defects, because vitiligo areas appear mostly on uncovered parts of a body. We
are presenting a girl, with the first sings of the disease appeared when she was seven, located symetrically periorbitally and
in capilicium followed by polyosis. The beginning of the disease might be connected with a psychotic stress.
IMPORTANCE OF AFP AND CEA DETERMINATION IN EXPERIMENTALY INDUCED GLIOMA

Beside great improvement in diagnostical ant therapeutic aproach in curement of brain tumors, gliomas still have
bad prognosis. Better results could be obtained only in early tumor discavery. Alpha pheto protein (AFP) and carcinoembrionic antigen (CEA) are markers specific for certain carcinomas (hepatocelular, nonseminated testicular, colorectal). Thieir specifity for gliomas still has not been stated. The aim of tis study was to determine tissue or sera levels of AFP, and CEAin experimentaly induced gliomas, and teir poential use in human gliomas diagnosis. For analyses , tissue supernatant homogenate C6 of rat glioma and sera were used during different phases of development (days 0,7,14,21 and 31). Tumor markers were also determened as well as in tissue of human brain tumors (two anaplastic astrocitomas an one glioblastoma). Techique applied was immunoenzyme type Mein method. Obtained results showed no signs of AFPeither in sera, or in rat brain tissue or human glioma tissue. CEA however, showed statisticlly, important specifity, for glioma tissue. During tumorgenesis tissue concentracion of CEA showed statisticly higher levels in comparasion with controls , starting from day 7, reachin peak of tumorgenesis on day 21, (p < 0.001). CEAwas not detectable in control animal group sera, and also during the period of tumor development. CEA concentracion obtained from animal brain were similar to those in human
brain tissue tumors. Further investigation need to be caried out, in order to determine the potential role of this marker in
diagnosis and treatment establishment course.

In this research it was examined how fatigue in the working process affected the speed of reaction on a complicated
stimulus, and also on the frequency of inadequate reactions. The investigation was carried out by means method of combine
reaction time (CRT). CRT is the shortest time that passes from the moment when a person is affected by a complicated stimulus until the moment when the person responds to the stimulus, by making adequate and complicated reaction. CRTwas registrated in working population of railroad employees who were divided in two groups:group of locomotive drivers (n= 44) and group of a railroad employees (n=25). In the group of locomotive drivers it was taken into the consideration whether the type of locomotive was electrical or diesel power. In both groups, CRT was registrated in two phases of working process; before and after daily work. Results showed that in both examined groups CRT got significantly extended after the
working process. Duration of CRT was longer before and after working process in the group of electrical power locomotive
drivers compared to diesel power locomotive drivers. Fatigue did not affect significantly on the frequency of incorrect answers

The urgent surgery center “Simonida” in Gra~anica was built by humanitarian organization “Doctors of the World” from Greece with donation of Ministry of Foreign affairs of Greece and Greek institute for mother and child. He started working in march 2000. Even though, it has a small capacity of 15 beds, it represent a very important part in health care for the people Serbian enclaves in Kosovo and Metohia. During 2002. 15133 patients were examined in this hospitaly. 811 patient were hospitalized, and 98 of them were operated. Serbian doctors performed the firs surgery 11.07.2002. when the patient S.S. 46 years old was operated due to inguinal hernia on left side. In the urgent surgery center 72 (73,47%) male patients and 26 (26,53%) female patients. Were operated 64 (65,31%) adults patients and 34 (34,69%) children were operated. In this hospital 46 patients for inguinal hernia, 14 patients for acuta appendicitis, 8 for inflammation of gall, 4 for testis retency, 4 for pilonoidal sinus, 3 for higrom, and 22 patients with other diseased were operated. Total anestesy used with 68 (69,63%), spinalis with 22 (22,45%) and local with 8 (8,16%) patients. Total anestesy was used with 36 adulta patients and with 32 children patients. Considering the restricted freedom of moveing and bad security situation of people in enclaves, the urgent surgery center “Simonida” justify its egzistence making possible adequate surgery help to the suftering peoples of Central Kosovo, Sirini} region and region Kosovsko Pomoravlje.
