Authors: Sisi Chen
Published: July 2024

This study focuses on the performance, user experience, and security issues of mobile applications in the multi-window mode of the Android operating system. Using automated testing tools, the research evaluates the functionality of different types of applications in multi-window mode. The results indicate that most applications can run in the floating window and split-screen modes, while the picture-in-picture mode is primarily used in video and conferencing applications. However, the floating window mode has multiple window limitations, the picture-in-picture mode has functional restrictions, and the split-screen mode encounters interface adaptation issues. Security-related applications employ a black screen protection mechanism, but face limitations in screenshot operations. The researchers advocate for further research and improvements in the multi-window mode to enhance user experience and security.
A stacking ensemble model based on Elastic Net and Random Forest for box office prediction
Authors: Fu WeiChen
Published: July 2024

The rapid growth of the film industry has made accurate box office predictions crucial. A reliable prediction model can assist producers and insiders in optimizing resources by adjusting strategies based on forecast outcomes. This paper aims to compare the predictive capabilities of various models and proposes a stacking ensemble learning-based box office prediction model. We start by selecting relevant IMDB data factors such as movie duration, director details, cast lineup, and movie region for data cleaning and screening, thereby enhancing the input for box office predictions. Subsequently, we construct multiple forecasting models for comparison purposes and select the most superior ones as base models. We then create a secondary comparison stacking model. Furthermore, we utilize 10-fold cross-validation to fine-tune the model parameters, resulting in more precise evaluation results. Experimental findings demonstrate that XGBoost outperforms other single models, while different stacking ensemble models exhibit notable performance variations. The proposed stacking ensemble model, based on Elastic Net and Random Forest models, yields the best predictive outcome.

Today's technological progress has allowed the use of intelligent devices and machines al-most everywhere. The refrigerator is considered one of the most important appliances, which is used almost everywhere for the purpose of storing food, beverages, and medicines at low temperatures and in a closed place to avoid exposure. There is such a problem as the lack of cashless vending machines, the unavailability of information about the location of vending machines, etc. As a solution to the above problems, a smart re-frigerator is offered. The proposed smart refrigerator uses a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader, an Arduino Uno microcontroller, RFID tags for all items in the refrigerator, a user-friendly application de-veloped using Microsoft Visual Studio, Python, a core MySQL database developed by vendors to store in-formation related to each purchased item, and a GSM/GPS A7 module, with support for GPRS data trans-mission.

Especificidades da pesquisa filosófica
Authors: Rosa Maria Aparecida Lima Piai
Published: July 2024

A filosofia e a ciência são diferentes formas de interpretação da realidade. Embora estas não sejam as únicas formas de conhecimento criadas pelo ser humano, elas se distinguem das demais por serem pautadas por rigorosos critérios que presidem sua constituição, comprovação e transmissão. Tais critérios precisam ser estritamente seguidos para que tais formas de conhecimento possam se justificar racionalmente.  Diante disso a proposta deste trabalho é analisar as principais características da pesquisa filosófica e indicar quais são os elementos que definem a sua especificidade, o que exige, necessariamente, a abordagem dos métodos de pesquisa que são usados para sua construção e apresentação. Assim, buscou-se para além da produção de autores que discutem esse ponto, entrevistar pares, professores (as) doutores (as) que produzem e publicam pesquisas filosóficas com o intuito de alargarmos essa compreensão. As entrevistas partiram de duas questões estruturadas: 1) Qual ou quais são as principais características de uma pesquisa filosófica? 2) Qual a diferença entre uma leitura filosófica e uma pesquisa filosófica? O que caracteriza uma pesquisa filosófica? E, estão apresentadas juntamente à discussão dos seguintes autores: Severino (2002), Folscheid e Wunenburger (2006), Porta (2007) e Kochë (2011) que se ocuparam da temática da pesquisa científica e da pesquisa filosófica.

O projeto neoliberal nas instituições de ensino representados pela disciplina de Projeto de Vida
Authors: Ruggieri João Pedro , Veloso Lauro Take Tomo
Published: July 2024

Ao se ter em mente as mudanças realizadas nas instituições escolares brasileiras após as recentes reformas nas diretrizes de ensino, deve-se buscar compreender qual o projeto que embasa tais mudanças. Sendo assim, este trabalho objetiva elaborar uma análise crítica das premissas ideológicas que fazem da escola e da vida dos estudantes um projeto laboral, cujo imperativo é a “felicidade”, ao invés da práxis cidadã que pressupõe os conflitos sociopolíticos. Realizou-se, portanto, uma revisão da literatura existente a respeito dos fatores teóricos e práticos que caracterizam o Projeto de Vida como uma disciplina a ser ofertada na grade curricular no Ensino Médio brasileiro. Tal literatura foi encontrada em portais especializados no compartilhamento de artigos, periódicos e matérias a respeito do tema proposto, como Pepsic e Google Acadêmico. O neoliberalismo deve ser visto não apenas como um modelo econômico, mas como uma forma de construção de subjetividade. Deste modo, entende-se que, por meio da prática de autoafirmação e competitividade proposta pela disciplina Projeto de Vida, o mesmo se faz valer dentro do modelo educacional brasileiro.
Histórias, Lugares e Geografias Vividas: uma geográfica leitura das narrativas ubaldianas
Authors: Costa Junior Ronaldo Santos , Portugal Jussara Fraga
Published: July 2024

O escopo deste trabalho é a análise, sob a égide humanista, das modalidades de concepção, vivência e narração dos espaços urbanos de Itaparica por João Ubaldo Ribeiro. Propomos desvelar os modos de existir narrados por Ubaldo, a partir dos lugares vividos como cenários das narrativas, entrelaçadas com escrituras que delineiam formas de ser e estar no mundo e suas possibilidades existenciais. A investigação, apoiada na dimensão teórica do “lugar”, se debruça sobre quatro crônicas, interpretadas à luz dos preceitos da Geografia Humanista. As narrativas selecionadas oferecem uma imersão nas experiências do escritor em sua terra natal, procurando elucidar o “espaço do lugar” ao abordar temáticas que abarcam as dimensões dos lugares e das experiências vividas. As crônicas, ricas em geograficidade, demarcam temporalidades específicas e representam as geografias vivenciadas por Ubaldo, realçando a experiência geográfica e a geografia pessoal. Assim, as narrativas literárias não apenas desvelam os lugares percorridos por Ubaldo, com amigos e familiares, mas também evidenciam maneiras sensíveis de ser-no-mundo. Portanto, este estudo reafirma a potencialidade da literatura enquanto instrumento para os estudos geográficos, especialmente nas dimensões que contemplam as formas de ser e estar no mundo, revelando o lugar como circunstancialidade e lócus das experiências cotidianas.
Monkey Bar–Associated Pediatric Fractures: A National Epidemiologic Study of Emergency Department Visits
Authors: Makar Gabriel S. , Davis William , Udoeyo Idorenyin F. , Grandizio Louis C. , Klena Joel C.
Published: July 2024

Introduction:

Emergency department (ED) visits because of pediatric fractures are not only burdensome for patients and their families but also result in an increased healthcare expenditure. Almost half of all children experience at least one fracture by the age of 15. Many fractures occur in playgrounds, with monkey bars and other climbing apparatuses noted as frequent mechanisms of injury. Our purpose was to identify the pattern of injury and the population sustaining monkey bar–associated fractures.

Methods:

We queried the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database for all monkey bar–associated injuries in patients aged 0 to 18 years from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2019. We described demographic data, patient disposition from the ED, fracture pattern, and injury setting using unweighted and weighted estimates. Weighted results that more closely reflect national estimates were calculated.

Results:

During the study period, 30,920 (862,595 weighted) monkey bar–associated injuries presented to EDs; 16,410 (53.1%) (weighted injuries: 408,722 [47.4%]) were fracture injuries. The average age of kids sustaining fractures was 6.5 years, with most injuries (66.4%) occurring in kids between 6 and 12 years. A higher percentage of male patients presented to the ED with fractures compared with female patients (53% versus 47%). Upper extremity fractures were most common, 382,672 (94%) with forearm fractures constituting the majority (156,691 [38%]). Most children were treated and released (354,323 [87%]), with only 35,227 children (9%) being admitted for treatment. Places of recreation/sports were the most common setting of fractures (148,039 [36%]), followed by schools (159,784 [39%]). A notable association was observed between year and ethnicity and between month period and injury setting.

Conclusion:

Monkey bar–associated injuries are a major cause of upper extremity fractures in children, with most injuries occurring in recreational areas or schools. Young elementary school children are at the highest risk of injury. ED visits because of monkey bar–associated fractures have increased over the study period, and these injuries continue to be a major cause of fractures in children. Additional measures should be installed to decrease these preventable fractures among children, with schools as a potential starting point.

Published: July 2024

Introduction:

Infection is a common mode of failure in lower extremity endoprostheses. The Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens in Tumor Surgery trial reported that 5 days of cefazolin had no difference in surgical site infection compared with 24 hours of cefazolin. Our purpose was to evaluate infection rates of patients receiving perioperative cefazolin monotherapy, cefazolin-vancomycin dual therapy, or alternative antibiotic regimens.

Methods:

A single-center retrospective review was conducted on patients who received lower extremity endoprostheses from 2008 to 2021 with minimum 1-year follow-up. Three prophylactic antibiotic regimen groups were compared: cefazolin monotherapy, cefazolin-vancomycin dual therapy, and alternative regimens. The primary outcome was deep infection, defined by a sinus tract, positive culture, or clinical diagnosis. Secondary outcomes were revision surgery, microorganisms isolated, and superficial wound issues.

Results:

The overall deep infection rate was 10% (30/294) at the median final follow-up of 3.0 years (IQR 1.7 to 5.4). The deep infection rates in the cefazolin, cefazolin-vancomycin, and alternative regimen groups were 8% (6/72), 10% (18/179), and 14% (6/43), respectively (P = 0.625). Patients not receiving cefazolin had an 18% deep infection rate (6/34) and 21% revision surgery rate (7/34) compared with a 9% deep infection rate (24/260) (P = 0.13) and 12% revision surgery rate (31/260) (P = 0.17) in patients receiving cefazolin. In those not receiving cefazolin, 88% (30/34) were due to a documented penicillin allergy, only two being anaphylaxis. All six patients in the alternative regimen group who developed deep infections did not receive cefazolin secondary to nonanaphylactic penicillin allergy.

Conclusion:

The addition of perioperative vancomycin to cefazolin in lower extremity endoprosthetic reconstructions was not associated with a lower deep infection rate. Patients who did not receive cefazolin trended toward higher rates of deep infection and revision surgery, although not statistically significant. The most common reason for not receiving cefazolin was a nonanaphylactic penicillin allergy, highlighting the continued practice of foregoing cefazolin unnecessarily.

Published: July 2024

Breast cancer is a prominent worldwide health issue, with difficulties in detection worsened by the presence of dense breast tissue. Ultrasound and other alternative diagnostic methods have demonstrated potential to enhance detection rates, especially in situations involving thick breast tissue. Objective: To evaluate how well conventional breast ultrasonography can accurately differentiate between benign and malignant tumors, using histopathology as the most reliable method of comparison. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital to evaluate 185 female patients with breast lesions using sonographic examination. Demographic information, ultrasonography results and histopathological data were gathered and examined using SPSS version 26.0. Calculations were performed to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy. Results: The study demonstrated that conventional breast ultrasound has a high diagnostic accuracy rate, with ratings of 91.07%, 83.57%, 89.47%, 85.92%, and 88.11% for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value, respectively. Statistically significant differences in diagnostic accuracy were observed when stratification was performed based on age, duration of disease, parity, and history of breastfeeding. Conclusions: The findings indicated that ultrasound is highly effective in differentiating between benign and malignant breast lesions, with substantial diagnostic precision. However, false positives remain a concern, necessitating ongoing research for optimizing ultrasound efficacy, especially in high-risk cohorts.

Published: July 2024

Glaucoma is characterized by an abnormal increase in intraocular pressure, leading to optic nerve damage and permanent visual impairment. Cataract is characterized by lens opacity that impairs vision but can be reversed. Objective: To compare pre and post-operative average visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber angle, and anterior chamber depth in patients with cataract and narrow angle glaucoma undergoing combined phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, and trabeculectomy. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out at Niazi Welfare Foundation Teaching Hospital Sargodha from June 2022 to December 2023. Total 107 patients with both cataracts and narrow angle glaucoma were included. Post-surgery, average visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber angle, and anterior chamber depth were assessed at various postoperative intervals (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months). The Patient's symptoms improved, with visual acuity and average anterior chamber depth increasing by more than 50% compared to pre-surgery was considered as significant. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 25.0. P-value <0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Results of the study yielded significant improvements in average visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), anterior chamber angle, and anterior chamber depth post-operatively with complication rate of 6.52%. Conclusions: We concluded that combined phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation (IOL) and trabeculectomy may be an effective approach for managing intraocular pressure (IOP) and improving visual acuity in patients with narrow angle glaucoma and cataract.

Performance Analysis and Optimization of Cognitive Radio Networks with Zero Trust Access Model (ZTAM) Using Red Deer Algorithm
Authors: Khan Ahmad
Published: July 2024

Modern communication systems need strong security measures due to their growing complexity. There is a pressing need for improved access models since current cognitive radio networks are susceptible to attacks. By thoroughly analysing each and every network transaction, the Zero Trust Access Model (ZTAM) offers a safe paradigm. This research is driven by the need to strengthen CRNs and seeks to evaluate and maximise the effect of ZTAM. Utilizing the Red Deer Algorithm has the potential to optimise parameters, enhancing performance and security. Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) that use the Red Deer Algorithm and a Zero Trust Access Model (ZTAM) are the focus of this study's performance evaluation and optimization efforts. While studies concentrate on studying and improving the network's efficiency, the ZTAM guarantees a rigorous security approach. This research uses the Red Deer Algorithm to optimise CRN functionality in the ZTAM framework by adjusting system settings. Throughput and energy efficiency are the metrics used to evaluate the system's performance in the research. The paper presents an optimization problem aimed at optimising energy efficiency and throughput simultaneously. Parameters are adjusted using the Red Deer Algorithm (RDA). In order to get a better understanding of how the system behaves under different system and channel circumstances, we provide simulation findings obtained using the ZTAM-RDA configuration.
Abdominal radiographic features of anticoagulant rodenticide toxicity in 14 dogs and 2 cats
Authors: Hecke Katelyn , Fulkerson Caroline , Murakami Masahiro
Published: July 2024

Background:
Anticoagulant rodenticide toxicity is commonly encountered in veterinary practice that can result in internal bleeding. We have observed dogs with retroperitoneal hemorrhage secondary to anticoagulant rodenticide toxicity. However, abdominal radiographic changes in dogs with rodenticide toxicity has not been studied and retroperitoneal hemorrhage secondary to rodenticide toxicity has rarely been reported.
Aim:
The objective is to describe abdominal radiographic features of anticoagulant rodenticide toxicity and concurrent thoracic radiographic changes in the dogs and cats.
Methods:
Dogs and cats diagnosed with rodenticide toxicity and with available abdominal radiographs were included in this retrospective analysis. Board-certified radiologists reviewed the abdominal and thoracic radiographs. Evaluation of abdominal radiographic changes included assessment of peritoneal or retroperitoneal effusion, subcutaneous hemorrhage, and internal hemorrhage of abdominal organs.
Results:
Fourteen dogs and two cats with confirmed rodenticide toxicity were included in the study. In dogs, retroperitoneal effusion (28.6%) was the most commonly observed abdominal radiographic change, followed by peritoneal effusion (14.3%). Thoracic radiographic changes in dogs included pleural effusion (63.6%) and mediastinal widening (63.6%) as the most common findings, followed by pulmonary hemorrhage (36.4%) and tracheal narrowing (36.4%). Subcutaneous hemorrhage or edema (9.1%) was also noted. No abdominal radiographic changes consistent with hemorrhage secondary to rodenticide toxicity were noted in the two cats.
Conclusion:
Based on our findings, it is suggested that rodenticide toxicity may result in retroperitoneal effusion even in the absence of thoracic disease. Therefore, abdominal radiographs may be valuable when suspecting hemorrhage due to coagulopathy. However, abdominal radiographic changes associated with rodenticide toxicity are considered rare in cats.
Anaesthetic management of a dog undergoing unilateral adrenalectomy for phaeochromocytoma excision using a partial intravenous anaesthetic protocol
Authors: Gavet Morgane , Junot St
Published: July 2024

Background:
The anaesthetic management of adrenalectomies for phaeochromocytoma excision, a catecholamine secreting tumour, is challenging due to the potential for fatal complications following severe haemodynamic variations, including hypertensive crisis following tumour manipulation or sympathetic stimulation, but also severe hypotension and volume depletion post resection.
Case Description:
An 11kg, 15-year-old male neutered Jack Russel Terrier, with mitral valve disease (MVD) stage B2, was referred for adrenalectomy for phaeochromocytoma resection. The patient was administered per os prazosin 0.11mg/kg twice a day and amlodipine 0.125mg/kg once a day for preoperative stabilisation. On the day of surgery, the dog received maropitant 1mg/kg intravenously (IV) and was premedicated with 0.2mg/kg methadone IV. Anaesthesia was induced with alfaxalone 1mg/kg IV and midazolam 0.2mg/kg IV and maintained with a partial intravenous anaesthesia using sevoflurane in 70% oxygen and constant rate infusions of dexmedetomidine 0.5μg/kg/h and maropitant 100μg/kg/h. After induction of anaesthesia, the dog was mechanically ventilated, and a transversus abdominal plane block was performed with ropivacaine 0.2%. The dog remained remarkably stable with a single, self-limiting, hypertension episode recorded intraoperatively. Postoperative rescue analgesia consisted in methadone and ketamine. The dog was discharged 48h after surgery, but persistent hypertension was reported at suture removal.
Conclusion:
The use of a low dose dexmedetomidine CRI, a maropitant CRI and a TAP block provided stable perioperative haemodynamic conditions for phaeochromocytoma excision in a dog.

Authors: Kanemoto Isamu , Mihara Kippei , Kawase Koudai , Ando Takanori , Iguchi Kazuhito , Suzuki Yuya , Taguchi Daisuke , Yamamoto Taiji
Published: July 2024

Background:
We aimed to report the second case of mitral valve plasty (MVP) for acute mitral regurgitation (MR) due to mitral valve dysplasia in a young small dog.
Case Description:
A 5-month-old female Jack Russell, weighing 3.5 kg, presented with dyspnea and collapse upon excitation. Acute MR with pulmonary edema due to chordal rupture was diagnosed with a suspected congenital mitral valve anomaly. Despite treatment with high-dose drugs, heart failure symptoms and enlargement worsened. An artificial chordal replacement (ACR) was inserted using polytetrafluoroethylene sutures, and annuloplasty was performed. The dog was discharged on postoperative day 7. After 7 years, the dog underwent operations for complete anterior cruciate ligament tears with no cardiac signs. After 11.5 years, the dog showed no cardiac issues and died from a non-cardiac disease.
Conclusion:
The MVP method with ACR employed demonstrated better durability and promoted longer survival than that of previous dog mitral valve replacements.

Significant differences in adoption were observed based on factors such as sex, teaching position, years in service, and highest educational attainment, leading to the rejection of null hypotheses. A strong positive correlation was identified between Education 4.0 adoption and teaching practices, emphasizing the importance of elements like the flipped classroom, personalized learning paths, collaborative projects, and technology. A tailored professional development program was proposed for public elementary school teachers, addressing individual needs for effective Education 4.0 integration. Recommendations included integrating Education 4.0 components into teaching practices, actively participating in professional development, and emphasizing continuous learning for optimal educational experiences and learner outcomes.
CHARACTER EDUCATION AND RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR IN WASTE MANAGEMENT
Authors: Shinta Arundati
Published: July 2024

The aim of this essay is to explain the difficulties of teaching character education, especially responsible behavior. This happens because parents, teachers and other adults find it difficult to provide role models for responsible behavior. Apart from that, the teaching method is not immediately applicable. The strategy proposed in this article is for children and adults to learn responsibility at the same time through waste management. This is because everyone produces waste, and therefore everyone should also be responsible for their waste. In fact, in general, people are reluctant to take responsibility for their own waste. To foster responsible behavior towards waste, there are two proposed suggestions. First, the individual should interact socially with the waste care community. Second, make waste processing activities as a project, not just a mere responsible behavior forming. This second suggestion actually is a unique strategy to change cognition to lighten the burden of responsible behavior which is always perceived as burdensome.

A STUDY ON CLASS SELF-DISCIPLINE MECHANISM UNDER BLENDED ENGLISH TEACHING MODE - A CASE STUDY OF PANZHIHUA UNIVERSITY
Authors: Mengyan He , Haitao Wang
Published: July 2024

Since the 1990s, education has undergone a significant transformation with the emergence of information technology. This has led to the development of online learning formats such as MOOC and flipped classrooms. Blended teaching is a novel teaching approach that integrates online teaching with traditional classroom settings. The College English Course at Panzhihua university has been fully implementing the blended teaching mode for several years. However, with the wide implementation of blended teaching mode, some problems have gradually appeared. Such as the lack of teacher-student interaction, imperfect online teaching facilities, and insufficient selfdiscipline of students. In implementing blended teaching at our university, several challenges have arisen, with the foremost being the inadequate self-discipline among students and their low motivation for autonomous learning. Self-discipline is crucial in the context of blended learning, as it directly impacts students’ ability to learn independently. Improving self-discipline can significantly enhance students’ autonomous learning capabilities. Therefore, establishing an effective self-discipline mechanism is a vital and impactful measure to bolster students’ selfdiscipline. This study investigates and analyzes the current situation of students’ English learning in Panzhihua University under the blended teaching mode by studying students’ autonomous learning ability in the blended teaching mode, and identifies the self-discipline problems of our students in English autonomous learning, so as to formulate a targeted class self-discipline mechanism to enhance students’ self-discipline awareness, and ultimately to achieve the effect of improving the autonomous learning of English.

Published: July 2024

This study examined the attitudes of teachers towards ICT integration in the teaching of mathematics in public secondary schools in Morogoro Municipal, Tanzania. The study addressed how the integration of ICT into education might enhance accessibility and quality of education by allowing educators and students to participate in new forms of information acquisition and analysis. This study employed a convergent design under the mixed research approach guided by Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) theories. This study had sixty-six (66) respondents using probability and non-probability sampling techniques. The study used interview guides for heads of schools and questionnaires for teachers as data collection tools and purposive and simple sampling as sampling techniques. The research generated information from 61 teachers and 5 heads of schools from selected public secondary schools in Morogoro Municipal, Tanzania. The reliability of questionnaires was established at 0.825 Cronbach Alpha and the conformability technique for the interview guide for ethical data collection procedures. Quantitative data were analyzed and presented descriptively and by using inferential statistics procedures, additionally, qualitative data were analyzed thematically and presented using narratives. The study concluded that Teachers had positive attitudes as many of them were ready, motivated, and felt comfortable using ICT in teaching mathematics subjects. Nevertheless, there was a shortage of ICT devices and, other technological infrastructures necessary for ICT facilitation. Consequently, the study suggests frequent professional development for in-service teachers on ICT integration in public secondary schools to improve attitudes towards ICT integration and equip them with current knowledge. The government should develop computer laboratories for every school, provide internet services to enhance digital skills and install electricity in all school buildings to ensure ICT services availability.
