Authors: Szabóová Renáta , Bajczer Csilla
Published: December 2024

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is a degenerative disorder of the femoral head bone with a genetic basis which generally occurs in predisposed small dog breeds (up to 12 kg) at a young age (4–10 months). The aim of this study was to present an overview of this disease, the most common clinical symptoms and to describe methods of diagnosis and therapy of LCPD in dogs. This involved a follow-up of patients, dogs (n = 43; 20 males and 23 females) brought to the veterinary clinic in Hungary with suspicion of LCPD, where they were subjected to clinical, orthopaedic and radiographic examination and then to the most suitable conservative or surgical treatment. The most characteristic clinical symptom – lameness ‒ expressed by lameness grade (from 1 to 5), was monitored in all patients, especially those with grade 4 (n = 26). Additional clinical symptoms, such as response to manipulation (n = 42), pain on palpation (n = 33), weight-bearing (n = 2), muscle atrophy (n = 17) and crepitation (n = 24), were checked in the dogs. The prevalence of the unilateral form of LCPD in the pelvic limbs was observed in 38 patients (88.37 %) and the bilateral LCPD form appeared in 5 patients (11.63 %). Based on the Ljunggren’s score the degree of hip joint damage was observed in most LCPD patients with score 4 (n = 22; 51.10 %). Following the diagnosis, it was necessary to decide on the therapy, conservative or surgical (ostectomy), with elimination of painful symptoms and subsequent long-term postoperative rehabilitation as well as the improvement of the patient’s health status.
The Effectiveness of the Implementation of Inclusive Education in Mainstream Schools: A South African Perspective
Authors: Malahlela Moyagabo Kate , Sadiki Marubini Christinah
Published: December 2024

The onset of the South African democratic government in 1994 brought remarkable changes in the entire education due to the introduction of an inclusive education system. This study argues that although the implementation of inclusive education is currently mandatory, the world over its effectiveness in South Africa is not yet established. The study aimed to explore teachers’ perceptions of the effectiveness of implementing inclusive education in their mainstream schools. The study used a phenomenological qualitative research design. In-depth semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. Ten (10) teachers from five (5) mainstream secondary schools were purposively selected based on their years of teaching experience, knowledge about inclusive education, and relevant qualifications. The data gathered through interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis. The analysed data came up with three themes: 1) Inclusive education policy implementation, 2) Inclusive teaching and learning strategies, and 3) Intervention by the Department of Education. Findings point to teachers’ lack of self-efficacy, inadequate support from district-based support teams, and challenges in supporting learners with disabilities. The study recommends in-service training and ongoing professional development for all mainstream teachers, provision of adequate resources, equipment, and assistive devices for learners with disabilities, and inclusive education policy implementation. This study contributes to knowledge of the challenges faced by teachers in their attempts to implement inclusive education and to support learners with and without disabilities in mainstream schools.

Authors: Ratican Crystal
Published: December 2024

The shift from traditional, in-person instruction to online education during the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to understand its impact on teachers’ mental health and the new skills required for successful online and blended learning in a post-pandemic world. As schools resumed on-campus learning, the challenge now lies in preserving the valuable insights gained during the rapid transition to online teaching. This article presents findings from a study that involved interviews with 187 teachers across 14 school districts in northeast Ohio, conducted over two years during the pandemic. A thematic analysis was used to explore teachers’ experiences and feedback. Despite the disruptions, several key lessons emerged. Teachers adapted by utilizing a variety of digital tools to ensure continued content delivery and foster student engagement. They enhanced their skills in course design and assessment while also developing a greater understanding of their students' unique circumstances.

Authors: Mampane Tebogo Jillian , Carrim Ayesha
Published: December 2024

The research examines the teaching challenges faced by rural, small multi-grade schools, which include logistical obstacles, insufficient resources, and a variety of learner requirements. Curriculum management in small multi-grade classrooms is the subject of this literature review research methodology paper. In these situations, educators are confronted with the necessity of developing novel educational approaches to address diverse learner requirements and resource constraints. The literature reviewed emphasizes the importance of curriculum management in ensuring the efficacy of teaching and the success of learners. The research endeavours to identify community support and participation in ensuring professional development methods in multi-grade schools. The literature results indicated that effective curriculum management enhances small and multi-grade education, as well as presents unique challenges and opportunities for educators. To optimise curriculum delivery in multi-grade classes, it is necessary to implement effective strategies and methodologies. Rural multi-grade classrooms can succeed with appropriate teaching practices and teacher professional development. The study concentrated on prior research on small multi-grade institutions. Curriculum management necessitates community support, differentiated instruction, and flexible planning. Schools may benefit from engagement with their communities and the adaptation of multi-grade teaching practices to meet local needs through the research initiative. The Ecological Systems Theory was employed as a prism to emphasise the numerous influences on multi-grade teaching and suggests that policymakers and educational leaders allocate professional development, curriculum adaptation, and collaborative planning time for small schools. Educator collaboration, resource funding, and specialised training programs for multi-grade teachers are all recommended. The research indicates that institutional reforms are necessary to guarantee that all learners have access to quality education, irrespective of their location, and to enhance the sustainability and success of rural and multi-grade education.

Authors: Krasowska Sylwia , Samardakiewicz Marzena , Kurzepa Jacek
Published: December 2024

Aim. The aim of the study was to investigate the long-term psychological effects in patients who had experienced COVID-19 and those who underwent quarantine. Differences in metacognitive beliefs and overall mental health were analyzed to assess their impact on the emergence of psychological distress.

Material and methods. The study involved 122 participants, including post-COVID-19 patients and individuals who had been quarantined. To assess mental health, the Metacognitive Questionnaire (MCQ) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) were used, providing data on metacognitive beliefs and overall mental health.

Results. Post-COVID-19 patients more frequently reported positive beliefs about worrying (MCQ1), while quarantined individuals scored higher in cognitive self-awareness (MCQ5) and negative beliefs about lack of control over thoughts (MCQ4). Both groups exhibited similar levels of general psychological distress, suggesting that the pandemic had a widespread impact on mental health, regardless of direct contact with the disease.

Conclusions. Both post-COVID-19 patients and quarantined individuals require psychological support to counteract the negative mental effects of the pandemic. Therapeutic interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques, can help manage stress and rumination.
Do current indices predict cardioversion success in patients with atrial fibrillation? A retrospective observational study
Authors: Tatar Sefa , Yavuz Yunus Emre , Feyzullahoglu Emirhan , Sertdemir Ahmet Lütfi , Icli Abdullah , Akilli Hakan
Published: December 2024

Objective

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the leading arrhythmias that causes serious complications. Our aim is to investigate the factors predicting the success of cardioversion in patients who underwent the procedure due to AF.

Methods

A total of 107 patients who underwent cardioversion were included in the study. Patients were divided into groups based on cardioversion success. Demographic, echocardiographic, and laboratory characteristics were compared between the groups.

Results

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus were more frequent in patients with successful cardioversion, but no statistically significant difference was found between the groups (p > 0.05). The pre-procedure leukoglycemic index (LGI) was found to be higher in the successful cardioversion group. However, this difference was not statistically significant between the groups (p > 0.05). Although the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were numerically higher in the group with unsuccessful cardioversion, no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups (p > 0.05). Echocardiographic parameters such as left atrial diameter and mitral regurgitation rate were higher in patients with successful cardioversion, but no significant difference was detected between the groups (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

AF is a significant arrhythmia that may lead to high mortality and morbidity. Various scoring systems have been developed to predict cardioversion success. The LGI, FIB-4 index, and SII are potential predictors of cardioversion success. However, these parameters alone are insufficient to predict cardioversion success. Further large-scale randomized studies are needed to clarify the effectiveness of these parameters.

Published: December 2024

This article starts with a brief normative overview of the principle of sovereignty to then explore its content and transformations throughout history, which have led to the enhancement of its external function to safeguard common core values, such as the protection of the human right to the environment. It is demonstrated that this new stage demands from international society a duty to intervene in the event of inaction by States of origin to take due diligence to prevent or hinder the aggravation of serious ecological risks of catastrophic proportions. However, the fulfillment of this obligation must comply with the parameters already established for humanitarian interference, otherwise there is a serious risk of distorting its objectives. Using a qualitative approach, the research examined bibliographic and documentary sources from which it was possible to reach conclusions based on the analytical-deductive method.

Lichens synthesize unique secondary metabolites, most of which are not found in other living organisms. More than 800 such metabolites are known, which can be found in various parts of the lichen thallus. Typically, their content varies from 1 to 6 % of the dry weight of the thallus, but sometimes can reach 20 %. In recent years, interest in these metabolites has increased due to their biological and pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. This makes them promising sources of new pharmaceutical substances, although the molecular cellular mechanisms of their action require further study. The most numerous classes of lichen metabolites are depsides, formed via the acetate-polymalonate pathway. They are conjugated from two or three phenolic rings of the orcinol or β-orcinol type. To date, about 141 orcinol-type depside compounds are known, but biological activity has been described for less than 10 % of them. This review summarizes the data on the cytotoxic and antitumor effects, as well as the molecular cellular mechanisms of action of the orcinol-type depsides and tridepsides, emphasizing the need for further study of this group of compounds, for most of which the biological activity has not yet been studied.
Learning curve and its effect on the results of transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery of pituitary adenomas
Authors: Cherebillo V. Yu. , Ryumina Yu. I.
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Since the beginning of the development of the transsphenoidal approach, many practicing surgeons in their publications have emphasized the steep learning curve of this field, highlighting the difficulties that may arise for novice surgeons. Despite the evidence of the overall effectiveness and safety of endoscopic surgery, a variety of factors, as reported in the modern literature, affect the curves of surgical training in minimally invasive endoscopic methods, including transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery of the pituitary gland, and, accordingly, the results of surgical treatment.

The objective of the work was the analysis of the results of treatment of patients diagnosed with pituitary adenoma by transsphenoidal endoscopic method for the period from 2019 to 2022 in experienced and inexperienced surgeons, the determination of the threshold for learning this method and ways to overcome it.

Methods and materials. This article describes the statistical analysis of the results of treatment of patients diagnosed with pituitary adenoma by transsphenoidal endoscopy for the period from 2019 to 2022 in experienced and inexperienced surgeons, a review of the literature determining the learning curve of surgeons for this approach.

Results. A neurosurgeon performing more than 200 transnasal operations per year had lower rates of endocrinological, ophthalmological and infectious complications, a lower frequency of postoperative liquorrhea, a higher rate of radicality of the operations performed, and shorter surgery time. However, it is important to note that for inexperienced surgeons performing less than 50 operations per year and with a total experience of less than 100 operations, the percentage of complications does not exceed the figures published in modern literature.

Conclusion. The learning curve is a crucial factor in acquiring new manual skills. Understanding the relationship between the learning curve and surgical outcomes will allow surgeons to better understand what to expect and what measures to take as these surgical skills develop. It seems that the mastery of endoscopic surgery of the base of the skull must necessarily be carried out in a large specialized neurosurgical center, which has an expert-level neurosurgeon with experience of several thousand operations and performs at least 200 operations annually.
Influence of functional brain asymmetry on coordination stability of children with intellectual disabilities
Authors: Fedulova D. V. , Berdyugin K. A.
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Coordination stability is expressed in psychomotor control of motor activity by the human nervous system and in postural balance as a consequence of cortical-subcortical regulatory processes. With mental retardation, there is a violation of the integrative activity of the higher parts of the brain, a violation of the synthesis and analysis of afferent information of all mental and motor functions, and a violation of spatio-temporal interactions. It is relevant to determine the lateralization of psychomotor processes in people with intellectual disabilities as one of the predictors of understanding the relationship between motor asymmetries in the context of the mechanisms of initiation and further regulation of motor actions.

The objective was to determine the nature of lateralization of psychomotor processes in children with intellectual disabilities and to identify the degree of influence on coordination stability.

Methods and materials. The study involved 40 children aged 14–15 years, who were divided into 2 groups: 20 children with mild mental retardation and 20 normotypical children from a secondary school. Identification of the individual profile of functional interhemispheric asymmetry included passing 7 tests to determine the functional asymmetry of the arms and 6 tests to determine the functional asymmetry of the legs. Also 2 tests for coordination stability.

Results. In normotypical schoolchildren, right-sided lateralization predominates, which indicates the dominance of the left hemisphere. In schoolchildren with mental retardation, the coefficient of manual asymmetry revealed left-sided lateralization. These features are expressed, among other things, in motor manifestations; the regulation of motor actions in some cases is uncoordinated.

Conclusions. There is no specific algorithm for psychomotor control that can be observed in normotypical schoolchildren; motor skills, as well as bilateral body coordination, have reduced development.
Study of the cytotoxic effect of secretory phospholipase A2 of Vipera nikolskii venom on the model of HeLа and ECV340 cell lines

Published: December 2024

Snake venoms have long been the subject of research in order to obtain new antitumor compounds. Snake secretory phospholipase A2 has cytotoxic properties that are realized through different mechanisms depending on the enzyme structure and cell type. HeLa and ECV340 cells were used as a model to evaluate the toxic effect of sPLA2 in the venom of V. nikolskii with and without sPLA2 inhibition. Varespladib was used as an inhibitor of sPLA2. In order to understand the mechanism of the toxic effect of sPLA2, the enzyme was activated by adding an emulsion of phospholipids, bovine serum albumin, and Ca2+ to the samples. The results indicate that the cytotoxic effect of sPLA2 on ECV 340 cells is associated with the catalytic activity of the enzyme; the weak cytotoxic effect of the venom on HeLa cells was preserved upon enzyme activation.

Thus, we have proposed a methodological approach that allows to evaluate the toxic effect of sPLA2, which has enzymatic activity, in the whole venom of V. nikolskii in relation to various cell lines.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. Diagnosis of obstruction of the ductal system of the salivary glands is a difficult task. Standard research methods cannot detect such pathology. CBCT-sialography is a modern technique that will simplify and increase the informative value of diagnostics compared to an X-ray image.

The objective was to study the possibility of visualizing the ductal system of the salivary glands by retrograde administration of a contrast agent using ultrasound navigation to perform cone beam tomography (CBCT-sialography).

Methods and materials. On the basis of the oncological Department № 8 of the FSBEI HE I. P. Pavlov SPbSMU MOH, the patient underwent the installation of a subclavian catheter under ultrasound control into the duct expansion cavity through the skin. Next, a radiopaque preparation was introduced, and a cone-beam computed tomography of the maxillofacial region was performed.

Results. Based on the results of the study, surgical intervention was performed. During control examinations, no pathological changes in the ductal system of the parotid salivary gland were detected.

Conclusion. This article describes a clinical case of the successful use of CBCT-sialography. This technique with a low radiation load has shown high informativeness and can be performed on an outpatient basis. Therefore, it is necessary to accumulate clinical material to evaluate the effectiveness of the technique in various pathological changes in the salivary glands.

Adolescent girls are very susceptible to anemia due to growth and the arrival of menstruation. Providing food that is expected to increase iron adequacy in adolescents is mung bean juice, because mung beans can prevent a decrease in hemoglobin levels. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of drinking mung bean juice on increasing hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. The research is pre-experimental analytical research with a One group pre-test post-test design approach. The population in this study were all 12 young women at Al Hadi High School. The sample in this study was all 12 young women at Al Hadi High School Banten. The sampling technique is total sampling. The data analysis used in this research was the paired T test. The results of the study showed that there was a strong relationship between giving mung bean juice and increasing hemoglobin levels in young women (p=0.002). Adolescents are expected to have awareness and understanding of nutritional requirements as an effort to prevent anemia in adolescents and encourage young women to regularly consume mung bean juice.
Listening to voices that are challenging to hear: participatory hermeneutics ethnography with children with medical complexity
Authors: Passos dos Santos Raissa , Macdonald Mary Ellen , Tatsch Neves Eliane , Carnevale Franco
Published: December 2024

This manuscript explores the integration of participatory hermeneutic ethnography in research with children with complexity, particularly those who communicate differently. Traditional research methods often exclude these children, leading to a lack of representation of their unique experiences. The study employs a participatory approach that emphasizes ethical considerations, relational perspectives, and the inclusion of non-verbal communication methods to better capture the voices of these children. The research involved eight children with medical complexity, along with their families and healthcare professionals, providing a comprehensive understanding of their lived experiences. Data collection was conducted over seven months using methods such as participant observation, informal and structured interviews, and innovative techniques like drawing, storytelling, and play-based activities. The study highlighted the importance of respecting each child’s unique communication style and ensuring their active participation in the research process. The findings reveal that traditional biomedical approaches often overlook the complex social and moral realities of children’s experiences. By employing a hermeneutic framework, the research provided deeper insights into the children’s expressions, both verbal and non-verbal, within their broader social contexts. This approach also underscored the significance of understanding children’s voices through the lens of their relational and social environments. The study underscores the necessity of inclusive and participatory research methodologies for effectively capturing the varied experiences of children with medical complexity. It calls for a shift away from normalized expectations of verbal communication and emphasizes the need for continued development of methods that respect and validate the agency of all children, regardless of their communication abilities. The implications of this research extend to both academic inquiry and clinical practice, advocating for more ethically attuned and inclusive approaches in working with children who communicate differently. Future research should build on these findings, exploring innovative strategies to further empower these children and enhance our understanding of their experiences.
Rethinking Children’s Nursing: Critical learnings from Childhood Studies
Authors: Carnevale Franco A
Published: December 2024

Within this commentary, I contest dominant views and practices regarding im/maturity within Children’s Nursing that are rooted in refuted age-based conceptions of child development. I highlight how these operate as forms of epistemological oppression that perpetuate the exclusion of young people’s voices and experiences in research, policymaking and practice development that affects them. These dominant approaches breach their participation rights and can generate significant distress and trauma. To counter these oppressive views and practices, I discuss an inclusive participatory framework that is centered on the recognition of young people as human agents, acknowledging their voices as forms of agential expression and action. I argue that all research, policymaking and practice development that affects young people should be informed by their aspirations and concerns expressed through respectful – not tokenistic - youth engagement initiatives. I argue for an urgently-needed restructuring of Children’s Nursing theory and practice.

Published: December 2024

The municipality of Salvatierra, in Guanajuato, Mexico, develops an agricultural activity of national and regional importance. However, despite this, there needs to be more information on ecologically and economically important faunal groups, such as insects. Therefore, the objective of this study was to have an approximation of the entomofauna in four crops: sorghum, alfalfa, maize, and beans, as well as their composition and the characterization of the functional groups of insects in a dry seasonal tropical environment of the municipality of Salvatierra. The entomofauna for the four crops is composed of nine orders: Coleoptera, Diptera, Dermaptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Mantodea, Neuroptera, and Orthoptera, and 53 families. The highest Simpson Wealth Index value was for alfalfa (0.91) and the lowest for beans (0.84). On the other hand, in terms of its structure and composition, the entomofauna is represented by eight functional groups: Herbivores = H, Predators = D, Parasitoids = PAR, Pollinators = POL, Vectors = V, Decomposers = DES, Xylophages = XIL, and Generalists = G. Phytophagous insects (pests), predators and parasitoids are the most common and abundant in crops. The present work generates new data on the entomofauna present in the agroecosystems of the community of Urireo in the municipality of Salvatierra, Guanajuato state, informing the development of specific studies of demography and ecological interactions between insect-plant and insect-insect.

Authors: A.T.D., M.Sc.(Eng). Dr. Masrono Yugihartiman, , Ariani Firga
Published: December 2024

Wacana kenaikan tarif BRT Transjakarta yang ditetapkan sejak tahun 2005 sering muncul di media masa. Untuk memberikan evidence response penumpang terhadap tarif tersebut, penelitian ini dilakukan. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengestimasi efek marjinal dan elastisitas permintaan dua jenis pelayanan, yaitu BRT Transjakarta dan Jaklingko. Metode penghitungan efek marjinal dan elastisitas menggunaknan multinomial logit model (MNL) dan conditional logit model (CLM). Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan stated preference survey terhadap 1.202 responden, yang terdiri dari 621 responden BRT Transjakarta dan 581 responden Jaklingko. Berbeda dengan penelitian yang pernah dilakukan di Jakarta sebelumnya, penelitian ini langsung mengestimasi tarif, waktu perjalanan, waktu menunggu, dan biaya transportasi kendaraan pribadi. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga menganalisis efek marjinal dan elastisitas terhadap tingkat pendapatan pengguna secara langsung, yaitu dengan memasukkan tingkat pendapatan di dalam model, dan juga membuat model yang berbeda untuk tingkat pendapatan yang berbeda. Dari hasil penelitian, ditemukan efek marjinal permintaan BRT Jakarta rata-rata -0,0187, dengan elastisitas sekitar -0,0757, yang menunjukkan elastisitas pernintaan terhadap tarif tidak elastis. Demikian pun terhadap waktu perjalanan dengan efek marjinal sekitar separuh dari tarif, yaitu -0,0085 dan elastisitas -0,9074. Untuk waktu tunggu, efek marjinal sekitar dua kali dibandingkan waktu tempuhnya, yaitu sebesar -0,0165, dengan elastisitas -0,0780, dan untuk biaya perjalanan kendaraan pribadi dengan efek marjinal 0,0011 dan elastisitas 0,0848. Sedangkan untuk tingkat pendapatan dengan efek marjinal 0,0061, atau permintaan akan meningkat 0,61% setiap terjadi Rp 1 juta peningkatan pendapatan pengguna, dengan elastisitas 0,0546. Efek marjinal dan elastisitas ini menurun pada tingkat pendapatan yang lebih tinggi. Hal yang sama terjadi pada pelayanan Jaklingko. Secara umum, efek marjinal dan elastisitas Jaklingko lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan BRT Transjakarta.

Peran Bea dan Cukai dalam kegiatan importasi meliputi pelayanan dan pengawasan. Pelayanan berfungsi untuk mempermudah proses importasi yakni dengan adanya penjaluran hijau dan merah dalam kegiatan impor. Pengawasan berfungsi untuk menyelamatkan pendapatan negara, dan memastikan tidak adanya barang ilegal masuk ke wilayah Pabean. Terminal Peti Kemas Makassar merupakan salah satu Kawasan Pabean. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis akurasi penetapan jalur impor yang dilakukan oleh kantor pelayanan Bea dan Cukai mengetahui kendala yang dialami KPPBC dalam melakukan pemeriksaan terhadap barang-barang impor pada jalur merah dan hijau di Pelabuhan Peti Kemas Makassar. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data wawancara dan observasi. Janji layanan secepat mungkin menyebabkan pengawasan yang dilakukan kurang optimal, terlebih pemeriksaan terhadap barang impor dilakukan secara manual hanya membuka sampel sebanyak 30% untuk barang impor high risk dan 10% untuk barang impor low risk.

Investigation on Suppression of Hard-Start Phenomena in a Hypergolic Bipropellant Engine
Authors: Matsuura Yoshiki , Matsuda Naoki , Tashiro Yousuke , Naka Tomomi
Published: December 2024

In hypergolic bipropellant engines, suppressing the ignition process involving a sharp rise in pressure, known as a hard start, is crucial to prevent fatal damage to the engine and excessive load on the spacecraft. The aim of this study is to establish design guidelines for injectors capable of suppressing hard starts. Measuring the pressure in the injector-manifold and combustion chamber demonstrates that the conditions for avoiding a hard start are closely related to the stability of the oxidizer jet. Furthermore, experimental guidelines are obtained for hard-start suppression.

Исследование потенциала применения сквозных технологий в развитии информационной инфраструктуры города
Authors: Патриевская О.П. , Митягин С.А.
Published: December 2024

Развитие современных городов тесно связано с информационными технологиями, внедрение которых позволило ускорить и упростить многие процессы взаимодействия горожан с органами власти и бизнесом. Однако, короткий период жизни современных информационных технологий, и часто отраслевая фокусировка развития информационной инфраструктуры современных городов все чаще приводит к необходимости реинжиниринга и преобразования этой инфраструктуры. Значимую роль в этом играют прорывные информационные технологии, которые одновременно являются источником технологического риска и потенциалом развития. В этой статье авторы рассматривают проблематику внедрения прорывных технологий в условиях сложившейся информационной инфраструктуры, риски и ожидаемые эффекты.

The development of modern cities is closely connected with information technologies, the introduction of which has made it possible to speed up and simplify many processes of interaction of citizens with authorities and business. However, the short life span of modern information technologies, and often the industry focus on the development of information infrastructure of modern cities increasingly leads to the need for reengineering and transformation of this infrastructure. A significant role in this is played by breakthrough information technologies, which are both a source of technological risk and a potential for development. In this article, the authors consider the problems of introducing breakthrough technologies in the conditions of the existing information infrastructure, risks and expected effects
The Advantages of Human Evaluation of Sociomedical Question Answering Systems
Authors: Firsanova V.
Published: December 2024

The paper presents a study on question answering systems evaluation. The purpose of the study is to determine if human evaluation is indeed necessary to qualitatively measure the performance of a sociomedical dialogue system. The study is based on the data from several natural language processing experiments conducted with a question answering dataset for inclusion of people with autism spectrum disorder and state-ofthe-art models with the Transformer architecture. The study describes model-centric experiments on generative and extractive question answering and data-centric experiments on dataset tuning. The purpose of both model- and data-centric approaches is to reach the highest F1-Score. Although F1- Score and Exact Match are well-known automated evaluation metrics for question answering, their reliability in measuring the performance of sociomedical systems, in which outputs should be not only consistent but also psychologically safe, is questionable. Considering this idea, the author of the paper experimented with human evaluation of a dialogue system for inclusion developed in the previous phase of the work. The result of the study is the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of automated and human approaches to evaluate conversational artificial intelligence systems, in which the psychological safety of a user is essential.
