Automated evaluation pipeline of CT-CBCT deformable image registration
Authors:   , Vadivel Santhosh , Kandasamy Nagarajan
Published: February 2025

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images are low quality and often suffer from artifacts and noise which makes it hard to use them for locating tumors. CT images are high quality images with significantly less artifacts and noise, but are usually at a higher cost than the CBCT. Improving the quality of the medical images using AI methods has been growing recently. Assessing the quality of such synthetic data is also important to improve the quality of the models. High level of importance are given to minor details when it comes to medical images which usually involves multiple stages of processing the data. Automating these stages and reducing the amount of human intervention plays a vital role in speeding up the AI models prototyping. This thesis focus on building an automated evaluation pipeline for synthetic CT images produced using Cycle-GAN with the flexibility to tune every single parameters during evaluation. The pipeline uses different features like segments and distance maps to perform deformable registration and calculate metrics like DICE Similarity Coefficient and Mean Fiducial Separation to assess the quality of the generated synthetic images. The pipeline utilizes open- source softwares like plastimatch and TotalSegemntator to aid the processes in the evaluation pipeline and produced an average DSC of 92% and and Fiducial separation of 8mm. The proposed method can be used for evaluating synthetic medical images with the flexibility to use any pre-trained segmentation model out of the box.

Authors:   , Quarshie William Ofoe , Lynch William
Published: February 2025

Community colleges play vital roles in higher education by providing affordable and accessible educational opportunities for learners from diverse backgrounds. To meet the high demand for post-secondary educational needs, community colleges rely on online education to offer this core service to their expanding student body. Few studies have examined which demographic factors and learning engagement measures, as measured by learning analytics tools, impact students' successful course completion in online introductory statistics courses at community colleges. This quantitative study first aimed to explore and examine how learner demographic factors/characteristics impact academic performance and successful outcomes in an online introductory statistics course at a community college. Then, I will investigate learners' learning engagement and interaction patterns, such as time spent on assignments, and how these measures lead to successful course completion outcomes and performances in an online introductory statistics course at a community college. Finally, examine which demographic factors have a moderating effect on these engagement measures. Data for the study was obtained from administrative sources, including students' academic records and performance analytics data on students' interactions with the digital learning platform MyLab Math® or MyLab Statistics®. Findings from this study suggested that female students, Federal Pell Grant recipients, and students who were single parents when enrolling in the course had lower odds of completing the course successfully. These findings can guide instructional designers, instructors, and administrators at the community college to go beyond the flexibility and convenience offered by these online introductory mathematics/statistics to provide target resources to improve the chances of these vulnerable students succeeding in these "gatekeeper" online courses. These findings also provide an avenue for more research into understanding the online learning engagement of at-risk students and provide ways to motivate and encourage students to spend more time and effort completing assigned academic tasks, improving their chances of success in online introductory mathematics and statistics courses.
Understanding Undervaluation: A Law and Psychology Analysis of the WTO Environmental Goods Agreement
Authors: Li Howard Jyun-Syun
Published: February 2025

Recent research in environmental law and psychology has revealed a pernicious problem: psychological phenomena often lead people to underperceive and undervalue environmental harms. These insights have yet to be applied to the transnational realm. This article employs a psychological approach to explore the evaluation of environmental concerns in the context of the World Trade Organization’s Environmental Goods Agreement (“EGA”). Although the EGA purports to be a “win-win” agreement that simultaneously promotes economic development and environmental protection, it has failed to reach meaningful agreement. The present research argues that a psychological perspective on environmental law may supplementally explain the failure in EGA negotiation by demonstrating how states inadvertently undervalue the transboundary environmental impacts of environmental goods. This insight also fills the void left by rational choice theory in regard to the valuation process.
A myasthenia gravis kezelésének bővülő lehetőségei, a célzott kezelés új szemlélete, új terápiák megjelenése a hazai gyakorlatban
Authors: Rózsa Csilla
Published: February 2025

A myasthenia gravis (MG) a neuromuscularis
transzmisszió zavarával jellemzett ellenanyag-mediált autoimmun betegség,
klinikailag kóros izomgyengeség, fáradékonyság tüneteivel manifesztálódik, ami
jelentkezhet izoláltan a szemizmokban vagy
generalizáltan a test egyéb harántcsíkolt
izmaiban is (bulbaris, végtagi, légzőizmok).
A betegség a becslések szerint hazánkban
1700 beteget érint. Enyhébb esetekben tüneti – kolinészteráz-gátló – kezelés elegendő
lehet a betegség kezelésében, de a betegek
többsége a kórtörténete során hosszabb-rövidebb időtartamú immunszuppresszív kezelésre szorul. A hagyományos gyógyszerekkel
az esetek 60-70%-ában érhető el tünetmentes állapot. A betegek 10-20%-a szenved
refrakter myastheniában, ők a hagyományos
kezelésre nem reagálnak megfelelően, vagy
az alkalmazott kezelés mellett tolerálhatatlan
mellékhatásokat tapasztalnak.
Az utóbbi években több klinikai vizsgálat
zajlott MG-ben új, célzott molekuláris terápiákkal: ma már komplement-, FcRn- és B-sejtgátló szerek szélesítik terápiás arzenálunkat,
és ígérnek izgalmas, bizonyítottan hatékony,
viszonylag gyors hatású kezelési lehetőségeket, mindenekelőtt refrakter MG-ben.
Napjainkban az MG-kezelés célja a teljes
remisszió elérése, a légzési elégtelenséggel járó myastheniás krízis kivédése és a
betegek életminőségét negatívan befolyásoló tünetek megszüntetése. A kórkép ritka
volta, változatos lefolyása indokolttá teszi – különösen a refrakter betegek esetében –,
hogy a gondozás az MG kezelésében nagy
gyakorlattal rendelkező, a kórkép ellátásának
teljes spektrumával bíró neuroimmunológiai
centrumokban történjen. A refrakter MG
hatékony kezeléséhez elengedhetetlen, hogy
a közelmúltban törzskönyvezett új terápiák
mielőbb elérhetővé váljanak a magyar betegek számára is.

Authors: Tekesin Aysel , Erten Nilgun , Cimen Atalar Arife
Published: February 2025

Background and purpose – Restless legs
syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder
characterized by an irresistible urge to move
the legs, frequently accompanied by unpleasant sensations. In this study, we aimed to
determine the changes in electrophysiological tests including Fwave responses and
H-reflex parameters in patients with idiopathic RLS after pramipexole medication.
Methods –This prospective study was conducted with twenty newly diagnosed, idiopathic RLS patients. The electrophysiological
parameters, specifically F-wave duration
(FWD), the duration of related compound
muscle action potential (CMAPD), and FWD/
CMAPD ratio, the ratio of maximum H-reflex
amplitude(H) to maximum M-response
amplitude (M)(H/M) were recorded in patients with idiopathic RLS before and after
pramipexole medication.
Results – The results revealed significant
improvements in specific electrophysiolo
gical parameters after pramipexole use. We
observed a significant decrease in FWD,
CMAPD, and FWD/CMAPD values after pramipexole treatment suggesting a reduction
in motor neuron excitability. We also obser
ved a significant decrease in H/M ratio after
pramipexole medication indicating reduced
spinal motor neuron excitability.
Conclusion – This study demonstrated significant improvement in specific electrophysiological parameters following pramipexole treatment in patients with idiopathic RLS.
The findings provide better understanding of
the effects of pramipexole on nerve function
and may contribute to the development of
a monitoring tool and lead to more targeted treatments and interventions for RLS,
improving the overall management and care
for patients’ outcomes and quality of life with
this debilitating condition.
Phenotypic variability in sisters with VPS13A disease (chorea-acanthocytosis)
Authors: Oner Ozge Gonul , Varoglu Asuman Orhan
Published: February 2025

Chorea-acanthocytosis (VPS13A disease) is a
rare multisystem neurodegenerative disorder with a broad phenotypic spectrum. It is
characterized by neuropsychiatric symptoms
and the presence of acanthocytes. However,
the relationship between acanthocytes and
disease severity remains unclear. Diagnosis is established through genetic testing.
We present two sisters with VPS13A disease,
each exhibiting distinct clinical presentations.
The younger presents with severe symptoms
including drug-resistant epilepsy, neuropsychiatric issues, chorea, and self-mutilation,
along with the presence of acanthocytes
in her blood smear (10%). Genetic testing identified a homozygous synonymous
mutation in the VPS13A gene (Chromosome
9: 79971783 G>C, exon 55, c.7806G>C,
Pro2602=). Conversely, the older sister experiences only well controlled epileptic seizures
and elevated creatine kinase levels, with no
acanthocytes in peripheral blood smears,
which have been performed three times. She
also harbors the same homozygous synonymous mutation in the VPS13A gene.
Our report highlights siblings with identical
mutations but differing clinical presentations, emphasizing the variability in VPS13A
disease manifestations. The younger sister
has acanthocytosis and chorea, whereas the
older did not demonstrate those features.
The term “VPS13A disease” is proposed to
encompass this group of diseases, acknowledging that acanthocytes or chorea may not
always be present. Our findings support
this terminological shift. Additionally, we
first mentioned this synonymous mutation
(NM_033305.3: c.7806G>C exon 55, p.
Pro2602=) in the VPS13A gene, contributing
to the understanding of this condition.

Authors: Jawale Jyoti K. , Kashikar Vrushali S. , Dhole Shashikant N. , Devne Sonali R.
Published: February 2025

Background: Plumbagin encounters several biopharmaceutical hurdles that impede its medical use, including low aqueous solubilization, high lipophilic characteristics, instability from spontaneous sublimation, and poor oral bioavailability. These issues considerably limit its therapeutic effectiveness. In addition, plumbagin struggles to achieve therapeutic concentrations in tumors due to its lack of tumor-targeting ability and fast clearance from the body. To attain effective treatment levels, high or frequent dosing is necessary, which often leads to adverse side effects such as diarrhea, skin irritation, elevated white blood cell counts, and increased neutrophil levels. Aim: This study aimed to formulate plumbagin-loaded niosomes utilizing Span 60 as the non-ionic surfactant, combined with cholesterol. Method: The reverse phase evaporation methodology was used to create niosomal formulations. Particulate size, Polydispersity Index (PDI), and zeta potential were assessed through optical scattering analysis. Result: The result was shown an average particle size from 84.5± 5.85 nm to 123.5± 4.82nm. The Zeta potential value was found to be -26.8 ± 2.13 mv and both percent entrapment efficiency and release rate were evaluated by UV spectroscopy. % EE was found 91.42 ± 2.19. %. In vitro drug release, niosomes were shown sustain release behavior as compared to pure plumbagin. In vitro cytotoxicity assay was conducted to assess antitumor potential on MCF-7 cell lines. Ultimately, the MTT test revealed that plumbagin loaded niosomes exhibit an enhanced cytotoxic action on MCF-7 cell as in contrast to plumbagin alone. Conclusion: The result demonstrated that biopharmaceutical properties of naturally derived phytochemicals can be increased by loading it into niosomes, thus enhance their anticancer efficacy.
Major Findings: The Plumbagin loaded niosomes shown potent anticancer activity on MCF-7 Breast cancer cell as compared to cisplatin and free plumbagin, this might be due to increased cellular uptake, and sustained release of Plumbagin niosomes, leading to prolonged interaction with cancer cells.

The article examines the legal validity and practical feasibility of the legislative decision to adjust criminal
liability for driving a vehicle while intoxicated by a person subject to administrative punishment or having
a criminal record, as well as for driving a vehicle by a person deprived of the right to drive it and subject to
administrative punishment or having a criminal record. The authors note that the relevant decisions of the
law-making body should be assessed as a real prerequisite for reducing the effectiveness of counteracting the
recidivism of the considered transport offenses; they generate difficulties in their qualification and, accordingly,
in delineation. This requires analyzing the approaches of legislative and law enforcement practice to counteract
criminal-legal and administrative-criminal recidivism in the relevant area. The article presents the wording of
Article 264.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation proposed by the authors.

The Criminal Liability of Legal Entities in Portugal
Authors:   Leading Research Scientist of the Center of Criminal and Criminal Procedure Law of the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law, Fedorov Aleksandr V.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the provisions of the Criminal Code of Portugal providing for the criminal liability of
legal entities. It is noted that in Portugal there is the so-called selective criminalization, when initially the law
defines the crimes for which criminal liability of individuals is provided, and then within the framework of the
existing list of crimes it is established for which of them criminal liability of legal entities is possible. The article
provides for the crimes provided for by the Criminal Code of Portugal for which it is possible to bring legal
entities to criminal liability. It provides a brief description of the general conditions for bringing legal entities
to criminal liability, as well as special conditions supplementing the general ones, in the presence of which it is
possible to bring legal entities to criminal liability for certain crimes. It is indicated that in Portugal there is a
provision for the continuity of criminal liability of legal entities, when in the event of division or accession of
a legal entity subject to criminal liability, the subject of such liability is recognized as a legal entity formed as a
result of the division, or with which the merger occurred.
Protection of Choreographic Works: A Comparative Approach
Authors: Pérez Acevedo Natalia
Published: February 2025

Este artículo explora las complejidades del reclamo de derechos de autor para las obras de danza, lo cual no es tan sencillo como para otras formas artísticas. A pesar de estos desafíos, la proliferación de las redes sociales y las tecnologías de internet en las últimas décadas ha mejorado significativamente la capacidad de identificar a los creadores originales de obras de danza y hacer cumplir sus derechos, especialmente cuando estas obras se vuelven virales. El artículo examina las condiciones bajo las cuales los movimientos de danza y las obras coreográficas son consideradas susceptibles de protección por derechos de autor y evalúa el éxito de los esfuerzos de protección en diferentes sistemas legales. El análisis busca aclarar el panorama legal en torno a la protección de las obras de danza y las implicaciones para los creadores en la era digital.
El alcance de los derechos de autor del fotógrafo y arquitecto en el marco de la fotografía arquitectónica
Authors: Duarte Gaona Daniel
Published: February 2025

La fotografía arquitectónica es un escenario artístico que entrelaza los derechos de autor de fotógrafos y arquitectos, pese a que la obra fotográfica y arquitectónica tengan una protección individual. Esta simbiosis creativa genera conflictos entre los titulares de derechos de autor, que buscan una retribución por el uso de sus creaciones. En particular, son los titulares o autores de obras arquitectónicas quienes se ven expuestos a abusos por parte de quienes se dedican profesionalmente a la captura fotográfica de construcciones o edificios, pues estos están amparados por la excepción y limitación de “libertad de panorama”. No obstante, recientes avances jurisprudenciales han delimitado el alcance de dicha excepción con el fin de proteger la normal explotación de las obras arquitectónicas y prevenir una afectación a los legítimos intereses de sus titulares.
Así, este artículo de investigación pretende clarificar el alcance jurídico de los derechos de los titulares de obras fotográficas y arquitectónicas y, además, las posibles soluciones a la colisión de derechos. Esto, a través de un análisis normativo, jurisprudencial y doctrinario con enfoque en la Comunidad Andina (CAN) y Colombia.
Yield and Quality Effects of Co-cultivating Barley and Triticale with Legumes in Hydroponic Fodder Production
Authors: Ozkan Sukru Sezgi
Published: February 2025

Background: The rising demand for sustainable farming practices, especially in regions with constrained land and water resources, has led to the spread of hydroponic systems for green fodder production. Cereals are commonly used in these systems due to their high adaptability, biomass production and ability to meet livestock energy requirements. However, integrating legumes into these cereal-based systems offers potential nutritional benefits, such as increased protein content and improved feed digestibility, which are essential for optimizing livestock productivity. Methods: This study evaluated the effects of co-cultivating barley and triticale with various legumes (common vetch, forage pea, soybean and sunn hemp) on the yield and quality in hydroponic fodder production. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications, involving mixture ratios of 0%, 5%, 10% and 20% legumes. Some parameters were evaluated: vegetation height, forage yield, dry matter, crude protein, crude ash, crude fat, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, metabolizable energy, digestible dry matter, dry matter intake, relative feed quality and some mineral contents (Ca, Mg, K, P). Data were analyzed using ANOVA to determine significant effects of treatments. Result: The inclusion of legumes, particularly at 5% and 10% mixture ratios, significantly improved forage yield and key quality traits, such as crude protein content, digestible dry matter, metabolizable energy and relative feed value. Mixtures containing 10% legumes consistently performed best, balancing yield and quality traits. Both barley- and triticale-based mixtures containing 10% soybean and forage pea demonstrated the most promising results, offering high yields and a favorable nutrient composition. Legume supplementation also increased mineral content while reducing neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber, thereby improving overall digestibility. Additionally, triticale was also found to be a suitable substitute for barley in hydroponic systems. These findings suggest that the co-cultivation barley and triticale with legumes can enhance the nutritional composition and productivity of hydroponic fodder, providing a sustainable solution for livestock feed production.
