Published: March 2024

Introduction. The dangerous abbreviations not allowed used in the record of the Clinical History, due to an erroneous interpretation, could trigger associated adverse events in health care. Methods. Cross-sectional descriptive study, 15 786 cases registered in the Medical Records of Hospital General del Sur de Quito of 42 clinical and surgical units were reviewed, the use of dangerous abbreviations was included, the acronyms allowed according to the regulations of the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador were excluded. The information was consolidated in a database in Excel 2017 format and the compliance and frequencies of abbreviations used with the SPSS Version 22.0 program were analyzed. Results. 69,84% (n=11 026 services) complied with the proper use of allowed abbreviations, the clinical area with 74,9% and the surgical area with 62,62%. 6 199 dangerous abbreviations were found, the most frequent being “(…) FR, FC, LPM, RPM, TA, TAM, RX, GSRN, CD4, M2, CD8, ASC, ECG, AQX, NPO, VIH, BH, FUM, HTA, RHB, SAT, GSM, TAC, RHA, DH, RP, APP, AM, TTO, IDG (…)”. Conclusions. Percentages of higher compliance were determined in the clinical units, followed by the surgical ones. The abbreviations used in the records of the Clinical Histories are not included in Ministerial Agreement 00000115, Patient Safety Manual - User, of the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador.

Authors:   Azad University of Zanjan, Zanjan, Iran, Jalilzadeh Afshari Amirhossein
Published: March 2024

Health and treatment are two of the most important application fields of information technology, in which the problem of predicting a disease is highly important. The physician makes such predictions based on the clinical condition of the patient and the level of facilities and advances in medical knowledge for the patient—information technology benefits from multiple methods to help this field. Accordingly, the patient information storage system, drug information, treatment and surgery systems, treatment follow-up systems, remote treatment systems, etc., aim to facilitate the treatment process. The patient can receive the best services within the shortest time due to these systems and information availability. The doctor can provide services to his patient anywhere in the world. This paper provided a model to predict the condition of patients based on their electronic records using temporal elements based on combining the shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) and deep learning. Accordingly, the evolutionary shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) and deep learning were used for preprocessing, feature selection, and classification. Two datasets of cardiovascular and thyroid diseases were utilized in the simulation section to ensure the efficiency of the proposed method. Based on this simulation, the proposed method indicated improvement compared to similar methods in the evaluated datasets. In the cardiovascular diseases dataset, this improvement was recorded as 1.4% and 3.2% compared to the author's previous and updated similar methods, respectively.
Degradation analysis of dynamic properties for plain concrete structures under mixed-mode fracture conditions via an improved cohesive crack approach
Authors: De Maio Umberto , Gaetano Daniele , Greco Fabrizio , Luciano Raimondo , Pranno Andrea
Published: March 2024

The present work investigates the crack-induced degradation of the dynamic characteristics in plain concrete elements subjected to mixed-mode fracture conditions. Specifically, a discrete fracture model, based on an inter-element cohesive approach, has been improved and implemented into a 2D finite element framework to evaluate the progressive variation of the static and dynamic properties as the damage level increases. The obtained numerical results highlight the effectiveness of the proposed model in determining the load-carrying capacity and the degradation of natural vibration frequencies during damage propagation, demonstrating its applicability in the framework of structural health monitoring.
Attack semantics and collective attacks revisited
Authors: Caminada Martin , König Matthias , Rapberger Anna , Ulbricht Markus
Published: March 2024

In the current paper we re-examine the concepts of attack semantics and collective attacks in abstract argumentation, and examine how these concepts interact with each other. For this, we systematically map the space of possibilities. Starting with standard argumentation frameworks (which consist of a directed graph with nodes and arrows) we briefly state both node semantics and arrow semantics (the latter a.k.a. attack semantics) in both their extensions-based form and labellings-based form. We then proceed with SETAFs (which consist of a directed hypergraph of nodes and arrows, to take into account the notion of collective attacks) and state both node semantics and arrow semantics, in both their extensions-based and labellings-based form. We then show equivalence between the extensions-based and labellings-based form, for node semantics and arrow semantics of AFs, as well as for node semantics and arrow semantics of SETAFs. Moreover, we show equivalence between node semantics and arrow semantics for AFs, and equivalence between node semantics and arrow semantics for SETAFs (with the notable exception of semi-stable). We also provide a novel way of converting a SETAF to an AF such that semantics are preserved, without the use of any “meta arguments”. Although the main part of our work is on the level of abstract argumentation, we do provide an application of our theory on the instantiated level. More specifically, we show that the classical characterisation of Assumption-Based Argumentation (ABA) can be seen as an instantiation based on a SETAF, whereas the contemporary characterisation of ABA can be seen as an instantiation based on a standard AF. Our theory of how to convert a SETAF to an AF can then be used to account for both the similarities and the differences between the classical and contemporary characterisations of ABA. Most prominently, our theory is able to explain the semantic mismatch for semi-stable semantics that arises in the ABA instantiation process.

Toward a dynamic frame-based ontology of legal terminology
Authors: Nazarov Waldemar
Published: March 2024

In the study of special languages and translation, the legal field is often insulated from other domains. This is primarily due to the extreme system dependence of the terminology of law, which results from a lack of a common legal system of reference throughout the world. The abstract nature of this human-made field and its dynamicity in view of the continuously evolving case law and constant changes in legislation make it difficult to illustrate its complex ontology through traditional terminology management techniques. Therefore, this paper argues for an interdisciplinary approach to constructing the ontology of legal concepts based on structural constituents from frame semantics and comparative law. Frames allowing for the representation of interconnected knowledge segments evoked by legal concepts and the distinction between micro- and macro-dimensions in legal comparison research make it possible to capture the complex ontology of legal terminology evoked in a specific point in time and a determined legal context. The ontological knowledge structure will be exemplified by terms from German social, commercial, employment, and tax law.
Terminology in the domain of seafood: A comparative analysis Germany-Spain
Authors: Jiménez Alonso Irene , ten Hacken Pius
Published: March 2024

In the last few decades, the study of terminology has undergone a cognitive shift that has led to the development of several approaches that study the social, linguistic, and cognitive dimension of terms, such as Communicative Theory of Terminology (CTT) and Frame-Based Terminology (FBT). CTT was developed in the early 1990s and argues that the study of terminology should be based on a communicative perspective, taking into account aspects such as the communicators and the context of communication. FBT has been developed from 2007 and uses certain aspects of Frame Semantics to conceptualise specialised domains and create non-language-specific representations through the analysis of the domain event and on the study of the behaviour of the terminological units in texts. The two theories share many of the same premises and propose the representation of the concepts of a domain in an ontology. FBT also proposes a representation in frames. We explore how these two methods of domain representation can be used to represent the terminology of the domain of seafood in Germany and Spain.

Authors: Martinez German , Duta Eduard-Andrei , Sanchez-Romero Jose-Luis , Jimeno-Morenilla Antonio , Mora-Mora Higinio
Published: March 2024

Within various industrial settings, such as shipping, aeronautics, woodworking, and footwear, there exists a significant challenge: optimizing the extraction of sections from material sheets, a process known as “nesting”, to minimize wasted surface area. This paper investigates efficient solutions to complex nesting problems, emphasizing rapid computation over ultimate precision. We introduce a dual-approach methodology that couples both a greedy technique and a genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm is instrumental in determining the optimal sequence for placing sections, ensuring each is located in its current best position. A specialized representation system is devised for both the sections and the material sheet, promoting streamlined computation and tangible results. By balancing speed and accuracy, this study offers robust solutions for real-world nesting challenges within a reduced computational timeframe.
Diachronic predictor of affective ratings of English words
Authors: Bochkarev Vladimir V. , Savinkov Andrey V. , Shevlyakova Anna V. , Solovyev Valery D.
Published: March 2024

This work considers implementation of a diachronic predictor of valence, arousal and dominance ratings of English words. The estimation of affective ratings is based on data on word co-occurrence statistics in the large diachronic Google Books Ngram corpus. Affective ratings from the NRC VAD dictionary are used as target values for training. When tested on synchronic data, the obtained Pearson‘s correlation coefficients between human affective ratings and their machine ratings are 0.843, 0.779 and 0.792 for valence, aroused and dominance, respectively. We also provide a detailed analysis of the accuracy of the predictor on diachronic data. The main result of the work is creation of a diachronic affective dictionary of English words. Several examples are considered that illustrate jumps in the time series of affective ratings when a word gains a new meaning. This indicates that changes in affective ratings can serve as markers of lexical-semantic changes.

Authors: Zhang Yingmin , Yi Afa , Li Shuo
Published: March 2024

The constant development and application of new technologies, such as big data, artificial intelligence and the mobile Internet, have profoundly changed the personal and professional spheres. Despite these advances, finance professionals are still faced with a multitude of routine, repetitive and error-prone tasks. At the same time, they are challenged by the shift to management accounting, resulting in reduced productivity. This paper addresses these issues by introducing a financial statement filing robot developed using Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology. The application of this robot has been shown to provide superior efficiency and accuracy, reduce the heavy burden of routine tasks, and facilitate a smooth transition to management accounting practices. In addition, this research provides a valuable reference for the application and diffusion of RPA technology in the financial sector. Given the large amount of text data generated by financial processes, this paper proposes an automatic text categorization model. The effectiveness of the model is demonstrated as a response to address the challenges encountered in the consultation and archiving process. This contribution informs the development of text categorization robots tailored to the needs of finance professionals.

Multi-feature fusion and dual-channel networks for sentiment analysis
Authors: Chen Xinying , Hu Mingjie
Published: March 2024

With the rapid proliferation of substantial textual data from sources such as social media, online comments, and news articles, sentiment analysis has become increasingly crucial. However, existing deep learning methods have overlooked the significance of part-of-speech (POS) and emotional words in understanding the emotion of text. Based on this, this paper proposes a sentiment analysis approach that combines multiple features with a dual-channel network. Firstly, the vector representation of the text is obtained through Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach (RoBERTa). Secondly, the POS features and word emotional features are separately updated using self-attention to calculate weights. Concatenating words, POS and emotion, feature dimension reduction and fusion are achieved through a linear layer. Finally, the fused feature vector is input into a dual-channel network composed of Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) and Deep Pyramid Convolutional Neural Network (DPCNN). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher classification accuracy than the comparative methods on three sentiment analysis datasets. Moreover, the experimental results fully validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Published: March 2024

Cylinder liner is an internal part of the automobile engine, which plays an important role in the automobile internal combustion engine. Therefore, it is a top priority to accurately and quickly detect the cylinder liner surface defects. In order to effectively achieve the classification and localization of surface defects on the cylinder liner, this paper establishes a dataset for surface defects on cylinder liner and proposes a based on improved YOLOv5 algorithm for detecting surface defects on cylinder liner. Firstly, a machine vision system is established to acquire on-site images and perform manual annotation to build the dataset of surface defects on cylinder liner. Secondly, the GSConv SlimNeck mechanism is introduced to reduce the model complexity; the Bi-directional Feature Pyramid Network (BiFPN) is used to fuse the feature information at different scales to enhance the detection accuracy of small surface defects on cylinder liner; and embedding the SimAM attention mechanism to focus on the object region of interest and improve the accuracy and robustness of the model. The final improved YOLOv5 model reduces the number of model parameters by 15.8% compared to the non-improved YOLOv5. And the experimental results on our self-built dataset for cylinder liner defects show that the mAP0.5 is improved by 0.4%. This means that the accuracy of model detection was not compromised. This method can be applied to actual production processes.

PalScDiff: A diffusion-based framework with progressive augmentation learning and semantic consistency for breast ultrasound tumor segmentation
Authors: Yang Qin , Tong Yu
Published: March 2024

Background: Breast cancer diagnosis relies on accurate lesion segmentation in medical images. Automated computer-aided diagnosis reduces clinician workload and improves efficiency, but existing image segmentation methods face challenges in model performance and generalization. Objective: This study aims to develop a generative framework using a denoising diffusion model for efficient and accurate breast cancer lesion segmentation in medical images. Methods: We design a novel generative framework, PalScDiff, that leverages a denoising diffusion probabilistic model to reconstruct the label distribution for medical images, thereby enabling the sampling of diverse, plausible segmentation outcomes. Specifically, with the condition of the corresponding image, PalScDiff learns to estimate the masses region probability through denoising step by step. Furthermore, we design a Progressive Augmentation Learning strategy to incrementally handle segmentation challenges of irregular and blurred tumors. Moreover, multi-round sampling is employed to achieve robust breast mass segmentation. Results: Our experimental results show that PalScDiff outperforms established models such as U-Net and transformer-based alternatives, achieving an accuracy of 95.15%, precision of 79.74%, Dice coefficient of 77.61%, and Intersection over Union (IOU) of 81.51% . Conclusion: The proposed model demonstrates promising capabilities for accurate and efficient computer-aided segmentation of breast cancer.

Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate and raise the therapeutic hypothesis of the use of low-level laser as a complementary therapy in patients with sleep disorder (SD) in a broad approach involving other pathologies superimposed on this pathology.

METHODS: This is a clinical case report of a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD) complaining of sleep disorder. The proposed treatment is the use of photobiomodulation (FB) with intraoral application using an innovative dosimetry. SD was assessed using an adapted analogue scale.

RESULTS: In the evaluation performed after the last session, there was an improvement in the sleep disorder compared to the pre-treatment evaluation. However, one month after the end of the treatment, it was observed that the quality of sleep remained practically the same.

CONCLUSION: We can conclude that low-potency FB can be a modulator in the production of neurotransmitter substances in a local and systemic way, being a complementary or alternative treatment for patients with sleep disorder (SD).
Validation of Fluoride Oxalate against Iodide Oxalate, Chloride Oxalate, and Glucomedics Anticoagulants for Glucose Estimation
Authors: Onyeaghala Augustine , Nurudeen Adebisi , Adigun Abbas , Chinedum Peace Babalola
Published: March 2024

OBJECTIVE: Accurate measurement of glucose is critical for diabetic care. Sodium fluoride/potassium oxalate (NaF/KOx) has been the preferred tube for measuring glucose. The pre-analytical challenges associated with the use of NaF/KOx and the emergence of COVID-19 presented challenges in the purchase of preservatives for measuring glucose. The need to validate other available and accessible local preservatives for measuring glucose becomes necessary. This study aimed to validate glucose values obtained using standard NaF/KOx anticoagulant against iodide oxalate, chloride oxalate, and glucomedics anticoagulant.

METHODS: Blood samples were collected from 45 apparently healthy individuals and distributed into four tubes: NaF/KOx, sodium chloride/potassium oxalate (NaCl/KOx), iodide oxalate/potassium oxalate (IOx/KOx), and glucomedics. Samples were separated into aliquots and stored for various durations before centrifugation. Glucose analysis was measured using the glucose oxidase-peroxidase method. Statistical analysis included bias comparison, mean concentration comparison, Deming’s regression, and Bland-Altman analysis.

RESULT: There was a significant decrease in glucose concentration with increasing separation time. Glucomedics showed minimal decrease, exhibited the least bias in all the time points considered with only 1-hour delayed measurement having a clinically acceptable bias of 1.62<2.2%; and demonstrated the strongest correlation with other methods. Mean concentration differences were comparable between glucomedics and NaF/KOx.

CONCLUSION: The three different anticoagulants could be a good replacement for NaF/Kox. However, glucose values obtained using glucomedics could give a better clinically useful result than others when a delay in sample processing is inevitable. The need to consider the use of any of the anticoagulants in place of NaF/KOx is strongly recommended.

Published: March 2024

Abstract. Potatoes with pigmented tubers contain anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds that demonstrate antioxidant activity and have a beneficial effect on human health. The nutritional value and other consumer qualities of available potato varieties must be combined with resistance to various infections, primarily late blight, which leads to significant yield losses and considerable costs for chemical protection. The purpose of this work was to assess late blight resistance of 46 promising potato hybrids with different pigmentation patterns, both in the field and by laboratory methods, including molecular screening. The objectives of this study included obtaining promising hybrids of colored potatoes characterized by a set of economically importatnt traits, laboratory and field assessment of the resistance of leaves and tubers to the late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans, as well as molecular screening of late blight resistance gene markers (Rpi genes). The production, cultivation and evaluation of the hybrid material was carried out using standard methods. Field and laboratory resistance of leaves and tubers was assessed on a 9-point scale. Molecular screening was carried out using PCR analysis. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time a comprehensive assessment of the resistance to late blight of hybrid material of colored potatoes obtained on the territory of Russian Federation was carried out. According to the results obtained, the studied samples demonstrated a high level of resistance of tubers and leaves in field conditions and laboratory tests. However, the results of the study did not reveal a relationship between laboratory or field resistance and the presence of Rpi gene markers, which may be due to the influence of many independent factors that determine horizontal resistance.
L'ecriture hybride dans le roman francophone African et Antillais : resemblances et differences
Authors:   , Zadi Samuel
Published: March 2024

The hybridity of the postocolonial novelistic writings from francophone Africa and Caribbean present many differences and few similarities at the linguistic and generic levels. Caribbean writers mix the French language with Creole words as a way to symbolize the cultural hybridity of their society. African writers use neologism, as a way to say that they can adapt the European political systems to their countries, without mixing the European systems with the African traditional kingdom structures. African hybrid novels contain more literary styles than Caribbean's. Because there is a clear difference between the African languages and the French language (as opposed to the Creole and the French languages), the transposition of the African language structures into the French language produces more style, than does the transposition of the Creole language structure into the French language. At the generic level, postcolonial novels from francophone Africa and Caribbean both contain the fantastic. This fantastic becomes the marvelous in African novels, which creates the magical realism. In francophone Caribbean novels, the fantastic becomes the strange, and the hyperbolical marvelous. We have the marvelous in African novels as it was in traditional tale, because the traditional culture has been lest destroyed by colonization in Africa than in the Caribbean. In the francophone Caribbean, former slaves from Africa have with time lost with their displacement the traditional African marvelous that has become the strange and the hyperbolical marvelous.

Application of the Gauss–Markov Theorem for Equalization of a Hydroacoustic Transmission Channel
Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, Shostak S. V. , Bengard A. V. ,   Far Eastern Federal University
Published: March 2024

Researchers in the field of modern hydroacoustics frequently encounter such problems as interference and noise in communication channels. Multipath propagation is an inevitable hydroacoustic communication problem arising in a sound channel due to reflections from the water surface and seabed. In general, this may decrease the overall communication quality. As a rule, noise cannot be completely eliminated, although its influence can be minimized. In this article, we describe a method for equalizing the hydroacoustic transmission channel using the Gauss–Markov theorem. This method can be used for reducing the multipath propagation effect and obtaining an unbiased estimate with minimal variance.

We set out to develop a stochastic model of TEMPEST in order to describe the behavior of electromagnetic radiation taking into account external effects. When investigating the stochastic dynamics of TEMPEST, the processes affecting the TEMPEST system in space and time are considered and simulated. This approach allows accurate consideration of random fluctuations and statistical characteristics when analyzing the channels of information leakage due to TEMPEST. The vulnerable criterion in the system security consists in the property of polarization as the main factor of uncertainty and unpredictability of the system in ideal experimental conditions.

Brain tumor has been a severe problem for a few decades ago. With the advancement in medical technologies, a brain tumor can be treated if observed earlier. This paper aims to segment and classify the tumor regions from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The work consists of two steps. In step1, the 3D MRI images are pre-processed by the Salient Object Detection method to improve efficiency. In step2, the improved 3D-Res2UNet segments the tumor regions. The segmented tumors are partitioned into two classes using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The method is tested using BRATS 2017 and 2018 datasets and obtained 87.1% and 99.2% dice score for BRATS 2017 and 2018, respectively. The performance of the proposed method is better compared to most recent methods.

Published: March 2024

Nyekar or commonly known as cemetery pilgrimage is a culture in Indonesia that is frequently carried out by the Javanese community. It involves scattering flowers on graves and praying collectively. Nyekar is done to remind people of the inevitability of death that will eventually befall all living creatures in the world. This research focuses on the history of the tradition of pilgrimage or nyekar in Indonesia, the tradition of nyekar itself from an Islamic perspective, and the purpose of the pilgrimage tradition in various regions of Indonesia. The aim of this research is to understand the history of the emergence of the pilgrimage tradition in Indonesia, to understand pilgrimage according to Islamic views, and to understand the purpose of pilgrimage in several regions in Indonesia. This research uses secondary data such as journals, articles, and other relevant sources. The study was conducted by collecting data from written sources related to the research topic. However, some of the main issues in this research are still based on empirical answers found in the study. The results of this research indicate that the nyekar tradition was formed due to the cultural acculturation of Islam, Javanese, and Hindu traditions. In the Islamic view, cemetery pilgrimage or nyekar was initially forbidden as a form of worship but later encouraged in religion. The purpose and goals of cemetery pilgrimage differ from each individual, depending on their beliefs and intentions.

Meat cattle breeding should develop in Ukraine as a priority and independent industry to meet beef needs. The meat industry has enormous potential and, as the most promising and attractive, will take a dominant place in the structure of the domestic food industry in the coming years. Beef is one of the most essential elements of the human diet. It contains complete proteins and animal fats, biologically active substances, mineral elements, and vitamins. The most important feature of food products is their quality and safety indicators, that is, the absence of substances harmful to the consumer's health and pathogens of infectious and invasive diseases. In this regard, veterinary and sanitary expertise and product safety control are of particular importance, as they are necessary to ensure the health of the population of Ukraine. Improving the quality of meat and meat products is a primary task in modern conditions. The implementation of this task depends not only on agricultural but also on processing enterprises. The article presents materials on the study of critical indicators of the safety and quality of beef. The study was carried out as part of the research work of the Department of Normal and Pathological Morphology, hygiene, and Expertise: “Monitoring the content of toxic substances in drinking water, feed and their impact on the body of cattle and the quality and safety of products”, state registration number – 0120U101318. The material for the research was the slaughter products of domestic animals, such as cattle, which were supplied to enterprises in the city of Zhytomyr. Pre-slaughter inspection and veterinary-sanitary examination of carcasses and their slaughter products of cattle was carried out following the “Rules of pre-slaughter veterinary examination of animals and veterinary-sanitary examination of meat and meat products”. The study aims to determine the safety and quality indicators of beef obtained in the conditions of meat processing enterprises of the Zhytomyr region. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive survey of beef safety and quality indicators was conducted. As a result of the tests, it was established that the pH level of the meat was 5.7–6.1. Carrying out the reaction with a 5 % solution of CuSO4 in the broth showed that the broth was transparent. A positive response to peroxidase was also detected. The safety parameters corresponded to regulatory documents. Careful control of the safety and quality of beef at every stage of production, starting from the rearing of animals and up to the sale of the product, guarantees a high degree of consumer protection.

The Impact of Democratic Concepts on the Advanced Interpretation of the Constitutional Document
Authors: Dakheel Munir Hmood
Published: March 2024

The texts of the Constitution do not elaborate its provisions in a precise detail that encompasses all its parts. Otherwise, monitoring their details in the texts of the Constitution requires anticipating them from the beginning, and eventually leads to these texts slipping into mistakes that should have been avoided, and to be erased sometimes in what they contradict, which contradicts what the constitutions envisage. In most cases, from a brief that surrounds the wide range of issues that regulate them, and a summary that does not delve into their details, in order to remain steadfast through the flexibility of their application across many generations whose interests and needs vary, in light of the steady development in democratic values that dominate the world. And there is no sin that the constitutional oversight body, in its developed interpretation of the constitutional document, does not extract the values that give preference to when deciding on constitutional issues, but rather considers them and makes them more likely because its society requires them, even if it sometimes deduces them from the comparative organization, if its prevalence among civilized nations is indicative of their vitality and humanity
