Published: October 2023

Platelet is a blood cell type that is stored and circulated in the human body. It acts as a blood thickening agent and prevents blood from overflowing whenever bleeding occurs. An excessive or inadequate number of platelets could lead to platelet-related diseases. The current practice of platelet counting involves the manual counting process using a haemocytometer, Wright’s Stain which uses the dyes to facilitate the differentiation of blood cell types, and a tally counter. Yet, this process can be time-consuming, demanding, and exhausting for haematologists, and likely to be prone to errors. Thus, this paper presents a study on automated platelet counter and detection using image processing techniques. The K-Means Clustering was employed to count and detect the presence of platelets in microscopic blood smear images. Several processes were performed prior to the K-means clustering, including image enhancement and YCbCr image formatting. Subsequently, image masking, as well as area thresholding were applied to eliminate every unwanted entity and highlight the visibility of the platelets before the number of platelets could be detected and counted. A comparative experiment was designed in which the K-Means Clustering platelet count and detection were compared with the actual number of platelets reported by haematologists. The platelet counts and detection were categorized into three detection categories which are Less Detection (LD), Accurate Detection (AD), and Over Detection (OD). The proposed study was evaluated to 90 testing platelet images. Out of the 90 testing images, 75 platelet images were perfectly counted and detected which returned 91.67% of accuracy. This signifies that the K-Means Clustering algorithm was discovered to be efficient and dependable for automated platelet counter and detection
An Improved Evolutionary Algorithm in Formulating a Diet for Grouper
Authors: Soong Cai-Juan , Rahman Rosshairy Abd , Ramli Razamin
Published: October 2023

This paper reveals the high demand of fish products in many countries, which subsequently highlighted the high demand of grouper fish species for human consumption. This high demand leads to the insufficient supply of wild ocean grouper fish in the market, thus justifying the need for farmed or cultured grouper fish. Basically, in grouper fish farming, large amounts of trash fish are needed as the feed for grouper fish, which is the carnivorous type of fish. However, since the cost of trash fish is too high, searching for alternative ingredients for the feed through modelling of feed formulation is an option for reducing or minimizing the farming cost. This led to the search for methods in giving the best combination of feedstuff ingredients with appropriate nutrients in formulating the feed. One prospective method is the Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) that has been applied in solving similar problems of diet formulation for several types of animals including livestock, poultry and shrimp. Hence, in this paper, an improved EA method known as the SR-SD-EA is proposed highlighting three important EA operators, which are initialization, selection and mutation. A semi random initialization operator is introduced to filter some important constraints thus increase the chances of obtaining feasible formulations or solutions. Subsequently, the novel selection operator embeds the concept of standard deviation in the SR-SD-EA as part of the function in minimizing the total cost of the formulated grouper fish feed. Eventually, the enhanced boundary-based mutation is also introduced in the algorithm to ensure the crucial constraint of the ingredients’ total weight must be met. The overall structure of the SR-SD-EA is presented as a framework, where the three methodological contributions are embedded. The preliminary findings of SR-SD-EA show that the obtained cost computed based on the Best-So-Far feed formulation as the solution is comparable, while all the crucial constraints are fulfilled.

Authors: Flores Romero Karen Daniela , Hugo Merino Gabriel Aníbal
Published: October 2023

Introducción: El ritmo circadiano regula cambios metabólicos en ciclos de 24 horas. En el personal de salud con horarios nocturnos se observa menor calidad de vida, cansancio emocional y obesidad. Estudios indican alteraciones en el sueño y la alimentación, con posibles rasgos de ansiedad o depresión. Las enfermedades metabólicas y cardiovasculares empeoran con la disrupción del ciclo sueño-vigilia. Objetivo: Establecer los efectos metabólicos de la disrupción del ritmo circadiano en personal de la salud hospitalario. Metodología: Este estudio es una revisión bibliográfica narrativa sobre los efectos metabólicos de la disrupción del ritmo circadiano en el personal de la salud hospitalario. Se incluyeron artículos de los últimos 5 años en inglés y español, de diversas fuentes y países. Se utilizaron palabras clave relevantes y se excluyeron estudios sin acceso abierto. Los resultados fueron sintetizados en una base de datos con información sobre autor, año, tipo de estudio, población y efectos metabólicos observados. Resultados: La disrupción del ritmo circadiano en el personal de salud se asocia con cambios en la capacidad para procesar estímulos y alteraciones en genes del reloj circadiano que afectan la salud metabólica. Se observa un aumento de glucosa en ayunas y alteraciones en el metabolismo de los fosfolípidos, con aumento de triglicéridos y HDL. Los trabajadores con turnos nocturnos sufren trastornos del sueño, fatiga crónica, estrés laboral y menor rendimiento en comparación con trabajadores en horarios convencionales, aumentando el riesgo de accidentes laborales. Conclusión: La disrupción del ritmo circadiano en el personal de salud está vinculada a diabetes, hipertensión y síndrome metabólico. Rotar al personal nocturno cada 2 meses normaliza el ritmo circadiano y reduce efectos metabólicos a largo plazo. Los turnos nocturnos prolongados sin descanso adecuado causan problemas físicos y riesgo de depresión y síndrome de Burnout. El trabajo nocturno afecta la atención y juicio crítico, poniendo en riesgo a los pacientes. La falta de personal, horarios sin descanso y mala dieta son causas principales de la disrupción circadiana. Área de estudio general: Medicina. Área de estudio específica: Cardiología.

Mind the Gap – Assessing the Size and Determinants of the Life Insurance Gap
Authors: Ropponen Olli , Kuusi Tero , Valkonen Tarmo
Published: October 2023

Preparing for the monetary loss associated with premature death of the breadwinner has become more relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, very little is known about how much of the financial vulnerabilities are covered by the life insurance holdings in different population groups. We employ unique individual-level life insurance data of the Finnish population to study the voluntary life insurances, the components of financial loss following from a death of a breadwinner, and the gap in death cover (life insurance gap) calculated as the difference of the two. We find that only about 10% of Finns have a voluntary life insurance, and that they are concentrated on married people, people of working age and with higher income. The largest insurance gaps are among young individuals, men, high income and highly educated people. We also find that the insurance behavior is poorly explained by the net losses following from a death.
Negative Economic Sentiment Index Based on Finnish News Titles
Authors: Avela Aleksi , Lehmus Markku
Published: October 2023

We construct an index for measuring negative economic sentiment in Finland by using news titles collected from the Finnish broadcasting company Yle's archive. Our approach uses supervised machine learning text classification for detecting news titles featuring negative economic sentiment, and the monthly aggregated proportional frequencies of those titles are then used for defining the index. We find a negative correlation between our index and the consumer confidence index by Statistics Finland, and more remarkably, our index seems to lead the consumer confidence index, somewhat, by one month. We also show that our index correlates positively with Finnish stock market volatility. In addition, based on a simple VAR model, we examine how certain macro variables respond to changes in economic sentiment and show that our index could prove helpful in assessing the current and near-future state of the Finnish economy.

The Influence of New IPO Firms on Incumbent Performance: An Empirical Investigation
Authors: Seth Tapan , Vemala Prasad
Published: October 2023

Market entry of new IPO firms adds to the competition of any industry, however, the impact on competitors may differ depending on several factors. Our study contributes to the literature on IPOs and incumbent performance by providing empirical evidence of the importance of firm specific characteristics in determining performance. Using a sample of 232 firms, we found that the strategic content of an IPO firm's prospectus affects the short-term pricing of incumbents during an IPO. Specifically, our findings suggest that IPO firms that signal high levels of exploitative tendencies in their prospectus have a negative impact on incumbents’ performance. Incumbent firms’ high degree of involvement in the focal business segment of the IPO firm tends to negatively impact their performance. Finally, technologically diversity of incumbents attenuates the negative impact of new IPOs.
Cognitive artifacts and human enhancement
Authors: Peruzzo Júnior L , Karasinski M
Published: October 2023

Human improvement is epistemologically challenging and has awakened a wide range of academic and public debates, especially considering the possible ethical and political consequences of its regulation. This article focuses on a selection of conceptual questions about cognitive enhancement and defends, through the discussion, the role of cognitive artifacts and the insufficiency of a strictly materialistic vision of enhancement techniques. The article approaches 3 specific questions: first, that the concept of enhancement should not be linked only with biotechnological artifacts; second, that the most potent technologies of the near future will be those that offer user integration and transformation with machines without the need for implants or surgery; and third, that cognitive artifacts, i.e. non-biological material devices coupled to cognitive system functions, are responsible for the course of human enhancement throughout history. Thus, we do not need a moral compass to evaluate all dimensions and risks that human enhancement can elicit, since traditional conservatism about enhancement limits itself to the idea that the growth of our powers would make our values unsustainable and put the current way of human life at risk.
Method for Studying Calcium Homeostasis at the Level of Gastroenteral Environment in Minipigs
Authors: Ksenofontov D. A. , Ksenofontova A. A.
Published: October 2023

The stages of calcium metabolism at the enteric medium level were studied in experiments on minipigs. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry was used to determine the concentration of calcium in the endogenous and exogenous structures of the chyme while its passing through the small and large intestines, both in different layers of the intestinal wall and in the blood flowing in and out of the intestine. Regularities of changes in calcium concentration in chyme fractions and its predominant accumulation in the dense endogenous fraction in the small intestine were established. Taking into account the hydration of the glycoproteins of the abdominal mucus and its existence in the form of a kind of enteroplasm of the chyme, it is assumed that calcium is involved in the formation of endogenous structures and chyme as a whole by redistributing between soluble and fixed forms of the element. The dynamics of the increase in calcium concentration in the layer of mucous deposits from the distal to the proximal section of the intestinal wall was revealed. In the intestinal mucosa, the calcium concentration is generally lower, although the dynamics follows a similar pattern. The arterio-venous difference in the damage of the digestive tract indicates the predominant excretion of the element into the digestive cavity. The conclusion is made about the role of endogenous chyme structures in maintaining calcium homeostasis not only in the gastroenteric environment, but also in the body as a whole.
Normothymic Effect of Lithium Ascorbate on Biomedical Models of Pigs
Authors: Ostrenko K. S.
Published: October 2023

In many developed countries, pigs have long attracted attention as biological models. Pigs are emotionally unstable animals, with a low resistance to stress. In this regard, experiments with pigs as biomedical models can be used to test the long-term use of drugs and their aftereffects. In this work, we set out to test a non-invasive anti-stress drug – lithium ascorbate – for reducing the negative impact of spontaneous stress factors occurring in pigs. Prior to experiments and at six months of age, blood samples were taken from animals. Adrenaline, norepinephrine, cortisol and progesterone, malondialdehyde, thiol-disulfide ratio, and superoxide dismutase activity were determined in the blood plasma. The conducted research allows us to conclude that the stressors arising during the standard production cycle of raising piglets activate the system of biological active centers of pigs, thereby increasing the general reactivity of the body. The obtained experimental data on a set of endocrinological and biochemical parameters indicate that lithium ascorbate in fattening pigs has a positive effect on their antioxidant status.

Authors: Petrov D. V. , Ivanov A. A. , Panina E. V. , Petrova N. V. , Sorochan A. E.
Published: October 2023

The introduction of hydrogen water into the diet of cage-bred Chincilla lanigera (long-tailed chinchilla) was found to affect the morphometric parameters of their adrenal glands. Thus, the adrenal glands of the experimental group were more compact, with their absolute and relative mass being less than that in intact animals. The thickness of the adrenal cortex in the experimental group significantly decreased due to all layers, including the fascicular layer, producing glucocorticoids. The prolonged use of the hydrogen antioxidant reduced the impact of stress in cage-bred animals and had a positive effect on their life indicators.

Direkord is an original drug containing the active substance of dicholine succinate, which improves the sensitivity of insulin receptors in neurons to insulin. The aim of the work was to select an optimal dosage and to study the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Direkord, a solution for intramuscular injection, in ischemic stroke patients in the early recovery period. In total, 132 patients after the first ischemic stroke in the carotid system, confirmed by computed or magnetic resonance imaging, with the stroke remoteness from 3 weeks to 2 months and the mean age of 64.35±8.03 years, were randomized into three treatment groups. Patients in the first (n=44) and second (n=44) groups received Direkord intramuscularly for two weeks at a dose of 400 mg/day and 600 mg/day, respectively. Patients in the third group received placebo. The treatment response was assessed in terms of improved neurological status, functional state, and cognitive functions, including at least a two-fold decrease in the total score on the NIHSS scale, the total score on the Barthel scale ≥95, and the total score on the MoCA scale ≥26. Four weeks after the onset of the study, 34.1, 43.2, and 18.2% of the patients responded to therapy in the first, second, and third group, respectively. An analysis based on the Fisher’s exact test revealed a statistically significant difference between the groups (p=0.036). These results suggest that Direkord is statistically and clinically significantly superior to placebo at a two-week intramuscular therapy at a dose of 600 mg/day in patients with ischemic carotid stroke in the early recovery period. The safety profile of Direkord when used in various therapy regimens does not differ from that of placebo. The phase III study should confirm the preliminary results obtained in the current work.

Published: October 2023

COVID-19 has been of great concern since it broke out. Many countries have put more effort into securing vaccines and therapeutic medicines. In the meantime, there has been a large number of scholarly efforts in figuring out the relationship between smoking and new coronary pneumonia. This study firstly collected daily data (the number of people hospitalized with new coronary pneumonia, severe cases, and the number of people double-vaccinated against new coronary pneumonia in various countries or regions) and annual data (the human development index and smoking rate of each country or region). We collected data from 160 countries from the Our Data World database. The time is for January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022. We divided daily and annual data into the first-level and second-level data. Finally, we checked the relationship between smoking and COVID-19 in a Hierarchical Linear Model (HLM). The result shows that smoking raises the number of new cases of infection and death among people fully vaccinated per hundred. There is a partial mediating effect of new cases smoothed per million over new deaths smoothed per million. Smoking significantly increases the effect of new cases smoothed per million over new deaths smoothed per million. Our findings have high generalizability around the world.

Teachers’ educational concept is an important part of teachers’ quality, which reflects teachers’ understanding of education. Educational concepts are teachers’ personal views on education based on their subjective understanding of students’ developmental characteristics and the laws of educational activities in their daily life, educational teaching practice, and professional theoretical learning under a certain historical and cultural background. Teachers’ education concept affects teaching quality, students’ development, and personal development. It has a decisive significance for the smooth development of educational activities. The transformation of teacher education concept is affected by various factors. These are both internal and external factors, and its development is the inevitable trend and demand of the individual’s internal growth. Self-determination theory (SDT) plays a guiding role in analyzing the effective factors of teacher education concept change. The strategies for improving teachers’ teaching concepts are as follows: help teachers improve their teaching ability through teacher training, gain more autonomy, and thus enhance their educational concepts. In addition to these, meeting teachers’ related needs in cooperation, and cooperating to achieve the improvement of teachers’ educational concepts are also among the factors. The transformation of ideas is realized in the practice and reflection of education.

The Fall and Rise of the Concept of Uncertainty in the History of Economic Thought
Authors: Nofal Sulafa
Published: October 2023

Uncertainty is one of these central concepts towards which economists have formed diverse and contradictory views. Traditionally, mainstream economists ignore the fundamental role of uncertainty and fully embrace individual rationality. This related to the closed-system ontology adopted by them, whereby uncertainty is viewed as a source of disturbance and treated as an external shock. But the financial and economic crises have reopened the debate about the consequences of such neglect. The article, in turn, is an attempt to tell the story of economic debates of uncertainty’s ups and downs. It resorts to the history of economic thought as an analytical tool to trace the evolution of the concept of uncertainty and the arguments presented by schools of economic thought, whether in defense or rejecting the centrality of this concept. Moreover, discussing uncertainty brought to the fore other related concepts such as ‘animal spirit’ and irrationality and thus paved the way for aspects recently addressed in the behavioral economics.

In this short article, the focus is primarily on Victoria Chick´s work on economic methodology. She argued that methodology should be taken seriously - You cannot simple just do economics. You must consider how to do economics.

ABSTRACT

 

In today's rapidly developing technology era, the use of technology is already familiar. Today's human life cannot be separated from the use of technology. PT Sri Indah Mandiri is one of the distributors of building materials on the island of Batam, which provides various kinds of building materials. So far, orders for building materials have been made verbally, namely by telephone or when buyers come directly to the office to place orders. Currently, orders made verbally via telephone often result in miscommunication. When this happens, PT Sri Indah Mandiri as the seller, must resend the goods according to the buyer's order, causing the buyer to be slow in getting the materials he needs, which can disrupt the smooth running of their work. This study aims to design a customer order project information system to improve accuracy and reduce the time to order building materials for PT Sri Indah Mandiri. The system design method used is an agile method with the scrum model. The results of the study show that the designed system can eliminate miscommunication and reduce the time needed to order goods so as to increase the operational efficiency and effectiveness of PT Sri Indah Mandiri.
