Authors: Du Kunlong , Li Yanyi , Liu Ruike
Published: January 2025

This paper analyzed the various factors affecting housing prices in the Boston area. Given that housing prices are one of the most highly influential elements in the social economy and individual decisions, this study aimed to trace the main key determinants driving fluctuations in this market. The results from an MLR model applied on 509 observations of characteristics describing housing in the Boston area, using a dataset from Kaggle against housing prices, have been reported. The empirical results of the study reveal that crime rate, number of rooms, air quality (nitrogen oxide concentration), pupil-teacher ratio, property tax rate, distance to employment centers, and highway accessibility affect housing prices. A higher crime rate and nitrogen oxide concentration lead to a decrease in housing prices, whereas an increase in the number of rooms and better highway accessibility leads to an increase in housing prices. Other variables that the study identified as likely to have multicollinearity problems are property tax and highway accessibility. Such conclusions assist in gaining a better understanding of the dynamics associated with determinants in housing price and offer invaluable advice to policymakers, investors, and potential homebuyers in making decisions regarding real estate policy and investments within Boston's real estate market.

Authors: Cao Han
Published: January 2025

As urbanisation accelerates as a global trend, the need for green building has never been more urgent. In this paper, these concepts are examined through the lens of energy efficiency, sustainable green building materials and eco-city planning, to outline a holistic approach to green building design. The use of energy efficient technologies within new buildings can reduce energy demand by up to 50%, such as the implementation of advanced HVAC systems and passive solar design. Not only does this provide cost savings for the building, but also reduces energy demand and subsequently reduces overall environmental impact. Sustainable green building materials such as recycled steel and cross-laminated timber can reduce the carbon footprint of the building significantly, by 30-40%. Additionally, eco-city planning, encompassing sustainable urban design, integrated water and waste management, and the resilience to climate change, utilises a broader lens to achieve city-level sustainability. Through case studies and quantitative analyses of such building projects, this paper demonstrates how these concepts can be utilised together and have synergistic effects. The use of these strategies together can contribute more significantly to built environments that are resilient and sustainable through the lens of energy savings for the residents, appropriate building technology, and consideration for the overall impact of the city as a whole.

Reinforcement Learning-Based Scheduling Optimization for DNN Accelerators
Authors: Xu Feiyang
Published: January 2025

This paper presents a novel reinforcement learning (RL)-based framework for optimizing dataflow scheduling in Deep Neural Network (DNN) accelerators. As DNNs grow increasingly complex, efficient hardware accelerators such as TPUs and custom-designed ASICs are essential to meet high performance and energy efficiency demands. However, optimizing dataflow scheduling remains challenging due to the vast design space and dynamic hardware constraints. The proposed framework uses Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) to dynamically adjust scheduling strategies. After the RL agent selects the rows to optimize, a brute-force search is employed to find the optimal solutions for these rows, ensuring that the scheduling satisfies both DNN parameters and hardware resource constraints. We validated the framework on various DNN models, including YOLO v3, Inception v4, MobileNet v3, and ResNet-50, across multiple accelerators like Eyeriss, TPU v3, and Simba. The experimental results show substantial improvements, with RL-Scheduling achieving up to a 65.6% reduction in execution cycles and a 59.7% improvement in energy efficiency over existing scheduling algorithms. Additionally, the method demonstrates superior algorithm execution efficiency compared to most existing approaches.

Authors: Wang Yixuan
Published: January 2025

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a kind of autoimmune disease with a complex pathogenesis, involving immunological, genetic, and environmental factors. Current treatment for RA mainly focuses on alleviating inflammation, and the disease is still hard to be cured completely. Rheumatoid arthritis microenvironment (RAM) makes treatment even more difficult, with synovial hyperplasia, angiogenesis and bone destruction causing RA uncontrollable. Continuous chronic inflammation and retention effect (EPR) of reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RNOS) in RAM lead to a vicious circle, resulting in difficulty in treatment. In joints of RA, macrophages, especially activated M1 macrophages, produce large amounts of inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-, IL-1 and IL-6, to maintain and exacerbate joint inflammation. Therefore, M1 macrophages has become an important target to treat RA. This study aims to develop a new treatment strategy by using targeted silver nanoparticles loaded with methotrexate (MTX) and modified folic acid (FA) to achieve M1macrophage targeting. According to previous research articles, modified silver nanoparticles have benign in vitro targeting and treating effects on M1 macrophages, providing a new idea and possibility for RA treatment.

The objective was to evaluate nutrient absorption in Marandu grass influenced by levels of eucalyptus shading in a silvopastoral system (SSP) and N doses, during two years of cultivation. The experimental design adopted was randomized blocks, with four replications. The experiment was conducted in a 3 x 7 factorial arrangement, corresponding to three nitrogen doses (0, 100, and 200 kg ha-1 year-1 in the form of ammonium sulfate), six shading intensities of Marandu grass in SSP (SSP 40-45, SSP 35-40, SSP 30-35, SSP 25-30, SSP 20-25, SSP 15-20%), and one treatment with Marandu grass cultivated in full sun (monoculture). Chemical analyzes were performed to obtain macro and micronutrient concentrations in the Marandu grass material. The adoption of the integrated SSP system and N doses showed interaction (P <0.05) for phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sulfur (S) levels in Marandu grass. Shading does not affect the dry mass production of Marandu grass. The increase in N doses and shading in the SSP favor the levels of phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese and boron in Marandu grass, compared to full sun. The presence of 40-45% shade provides the highest levels, demonstrating greater benefits for forage quality in SSPs compared to monoculture pastures.

Published: January 2025

Objectives: Since October 2023, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has particularly affected international communities and diasporas. Within Quebec, Canada, these tensions added to existing social polarization, not sparing the school environment, by creating feelings of fear, anger, powerlessness, deteriorating school climate, and hindering individuals’ and groups’ ability to empathize with one another. This article reports a rapid intervention aimed at mitigating distress and hate in the educational environment through training and supporting school teams.
Methods: Five training webinars were organized for school professionals within the Quebec Ministry of Education. Pre-webinar surveys were disseminated to participants to identify if and how the conflict had impacted their school environment to inform trainings. A thematic analysis was carried out on pre-webinar survey responses, chat feedback and field notes collected throughout the webinars.
Results: Having an opportunity to share and address concerns, receive reassurance, positive reinforcement, and guidance around strategies, proved to be helpful for school teams. In a context of crisis and politicized emotions, the intervention legitimized a range of emotional responses, addressed school team and community divides, and encouraged double empathy while acknowledging its limits. Finally, these activities also unveiled the potential dangers associated with silencing dissent and highlighted the value of mobilizing agency around school teams’ common mandate to educate and protect children from all communities, and in spite of the expression of divergent solidarities.
Implications: In times of crisis, school team and youth engagement in empathy-based activities facilitating non-judgmental expression and awareness of the Other can appease heightened emotions and prepare for dialogue, healing, and coexistence as a way forward.

Published: January 2025

Allied Health Professionals (AHP) are integrated members of the multidisciplinary Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) care team and include physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. The objective of this survey study is to determine factors impacting AHPs interest and confidence treating pediatric patients with FND in the United States. An 11-question survey was developed by pediatric AHPs at St. Louis Children’s Hospital and distributed over an 8-month period via pediatric interhospital listserv; as well as American Occupational Therapy Association and American Physical Therapy Association community boards. Respondents were required to be licensed AHPs working in a pediatric setting. In total, 239 respondents from 32 hospitals across 18 states participated in this study. Respondents were 110 physical therapists, 92 occupational therapists and 37 speech therapists. For AHPs with 0-5 years clinical experience, 40% reported to be neutral to extremely not interested in FND, with 49.5% reporting neutral to extremely not confident treating FND. For AHPs with 6+ years of clinical experience, 48.6% reported neutral to extremely not interested in FND and 45.8% reported neutral to extremely not confident in treating FND. AHPs with more general clinical experience report higher levels of confidence and lower levels of interest treating pediatric FND compared to those earlier in their career, regardless of AHP type. Non-clinical exposure did not have a significant impact on confidence treating FND. Though, experiential exposure was observed to correlate with highest levels of confidence at 75.8%, regardless of years of experience.

Authors: gasmalla Khalid , ahmed hajer , seedahmed areej , mohammed sakina
Published: January 2025

Background:
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rare condition marked by increased intracranial pressure, which, if untreated, can lead to optic nerve damage, higher cerebral blood volume, and increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production. This study aimed to identify the epidemiology, risk factors, follow-up, and management of IIH in Sudanese patients treated at Wadmadani Teaching Hospital between 2022 and 2023.
Methods:
This cross-sectional study at Wad Madani Teaching Hospital (2022-2023) involved 100 IIH patients. Data on demographics, BMI, hemoglobin levels, and risk factors were collected from medical records and patient interviews. Treatment and follow-up were documented, focusing on Acetazolamide and Topiramate. Statistical analyses included descriptive and bivariate methods to assess relationships between risk factors, treatment responses, and surgical needs.
Results:
Of the participants, 95% were female and 5% male, with the majority aged 26-30 years (average age: 27.95). Most participants had a BMI in the 26-30 range. Hemoglobin levels above 11 g/dL were recorded in 71% of the patients. The most common risk factors identified were steroid use and elevated BMI. Acetazolamide and Topiramate were the frequently prescribed medications. Surgical intervention was needed in 23% of patients, mainly due to poor response to medical therapy, worsening visual function, and progressive papilledema. There were significant associations between gender, age, risk factors, and the need for surgery.
Conclusion:
This study sheds light on the demographic and clinical characteristics of IIH, along with common risk factors and treatments, particularly highlighting gender-based differences in surgical interventions. Further research is essential to better understand the gender disparities in IIH and to develop more tailored treatment approaches. Future studies should focus on uncovering the mechanisms of IIH, customizing treatment plans, and improving management practices through collaboration between healthcare providers, researchers, and patients.
A prospective study of bone biomarker for the clinical assessment of osteoporosis associated with depression in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Pahari Priyanka , Chakrabarti Debanjali , Ganguli Ritwik , Bhattacharya Julie
Published: January 2025

Background:
Depression and osteoporosis are severe public health problems. There are conflicting findings regarding the influence of depression on bone metabolism. Depression has been linked to an increased risk of osteoporosis, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Depression has been implicated as a possible risk factor for low bone mineral density (BMD). However, there is still no solid evidence that could connect these two different illnesses. Many studies in this area are observational, which means they can show associations but not prove causation.

Aim:
The aim of the presented study was to compare bone turnover markers between osteoporosis patients associated with depression and healthy controls.

Methods:
We determined a concentration of serum cortisol, creatinine, TSH and 1,25(OH)2D3 in 60 osteoporotic patients, aged 46.9 ± 17 years, associated with depression, as well as in 60 healthy subjects. Depressive status was determined with the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD).

Results:
In osteoporotic patients with depression, we observed significantly lower bone mineral density concentrations (p < 0.05) and higher concentration of cortisol (result on the border of significance; p = 0.08). The level of TSH and 1,25(OH)2D3 did not differ significantly between the examined groups. We observed a negative correlation of the eGFR as compare with creatinine score in all osteoporotic patients with depression. We found that patients with depression had significantly higher levels of bone resorption markers (cortisol) and lower levels of bone formation markers (vitamin D) compared to healthy controls.

Conclusion:
Our results indicate that depression is related to disturbances in bone metabolism, especially in women, suggesting its role in context of osteoporosis development. Our findings suggest that bone markers may be useful in identifying individuals at risk of depression-related osteoporosis.

Authors: Rahmadanti Novrian Dwiana , Azwar
Published: January 2025

This study explores how Generation Z perceives Javanese cultural content published through the TikTok account kratonjogja.id. The background of this research is the increasing role of social media, particularly TikTok, as a medium for promoting culture in the digital era. The method used is a qualitative reception analysis approach, focusing on the interpretation and experiences of audiences in consuming local cultural content. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with five informants representing this generation. The findings reveal three reception categories: dominant hegemonic position, negotiation, and opposition. Informants in the dominant hegemonic position fully accepted the content as engaging and relevant cultural education. Meanwhile, informants in the negotiation position appreciated the creativity of the content but felt that certain terms lacked adequate explanation. On the other hand, those in the opposition position found most cultural messages unclear and not aligned with their media preferences. The conclusion of this study is that TikTok can serve as a strategic platform for preserving local culture; however, improvements in content packaging are needed to make it more inclusive and informative for a heterogeneous audience. This study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between cultural traditions and technology to effectively reach younger generations.

A pesquisa foi conduzida na plataforma da Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), abrangendo o período de 2005 a 2020 e analisando 21 trabalhos acadêmicos. O objetivo foi investigar como as trilhas interpretativas são utilizadas para promover a conservação e conscientização ambiental, bem como facilitar a aprendizagem de conceitos ecológicos e ambientais. Os resultados indicaram que as trilhas interpretativas são implementadas em diversos locais, incluindo espaços públicos e privados, além de instituições de ensino. As áreas do ensino de Ciências abordadas incluem educação ambiental, ecologia e ciências ambientais. As trilhas em áreas protegidas destacam-se pela sua importância na conservação ambiental, proporcionando uma experiência educativa rica e promovendo o ecoturismo. O uso de tecnologias, como o aplicativo e-Trilha, foi identificado como um recurso valioso, enriquecendo a experiência educativa. A preparação prévia das aulas, a produção de material didático e a exposição do conhecimento adquirido são essenciais para maximizar o impacto das trilhas interpretativas. As trilhas interpretativas estão ganhando espaço como estratégia de ensino, proporcionando conhecimento científico em espaços não convencionais e estimulando a reflexão sobre o papel social de cada indivíduo na manutenção ambiental. Elas facilitam a assimilação de conteúdos curriculares ao cotidiano, promovendo uma aprendizagem significativa.
A relação entre felicidade e educação numa perspectiva filosófica
Authors: Gilyazova Olga Sergeevna
Published: January 2025

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a intrincada relação e a influência mútua entre felicidade e educação em um nível macro. Baseando-nos em uma das teorias de realização do desejo (modelo de dois níveis de Leontiev) como base teórica, definimos felicidade como uma fusão de desejo e realidade e consideramos os métodos oferecidos pela educação para harmonizar esses componentes. Elucidamos o papel do construto felicidade, que, funcionando como ideologema, acaba sendo um instrumento ambíguo da política educacional. A percepção da felicidade no espírito de felicidade-mínimo (felicidade passiva motivada por deficiência) ou no espírito de felicidade-máxima (ser-motivado, felicidade ativa) determina as estratégias para alcançar a felicidade – o jogo descendente e o jogo ascendente, que nós, partindo do conceito de Quilter, analisamos através do prisma da ética da renúncia e da ética do florescimento. Sua escolha e distribuição entre diferentes estratos de alunos dependem da abordagem (social-democrata, conservadora ou liberal) no sistema educacional do país e são uma questão de justiça social. Revelamos a carga felixológica da educação como unidade de aprendizagem e formação, que determina seu duplo papel na promoção da felicidade: graças a ela, a capacidade de experimentar a felicidade se expande, mas, ao mesmo tempo, o risco de frustração e infelicidade aumenta. Chegamos à conclusão de que a educação deve se desenvolver sistematicamente – juntamente com melhorias em outras instituições sociais e esferas da vida, caso contrário, não terá consequências positivas, mas negativas.

Este estudo trata-se de pesquisa de natureza qualitativa que tem como base o cenário globalizante que envolve a educação superior, principalmente no que tange a mobilidade estudantil internacional. Tem-se por objetivo apresentar e analisar as políticas brasileiras de reconhecimento de diplomas estrangeiros de pós-graduação, colocadas em vigor ao longo da história da pós-graduação Strictu Sensu no país com vistas a identificar as ações do poder público diante da prática de mobilidade acadêmica internacional cada vez mais intensa com o fenômeno da internacionalização. Para tanto, utilizou-se das análises bibliográfica e documental como instrumentos metodológicos por darem suporte para a reconstrução histórica da política brasileira de reconhecimento de diplomas de pós-graduação estrangeiros. Os resultados apontam para uma mobilidade acentuada de brasileiros que buscam mestrado e doutorado fora do país e depois retornam com o diploma em mãos buscando validar a formação nacionalmente; para um crescimento normativo gradual da política de reconhecimento, porém ainda considerada limitada para atender tamanha demanda. Também fica perceptível quem os avanços na política desde 2016, a partir de características altamente regulatórias, tornou o processo de tramitação de reconhecimento ainda mais complexo e burocrático.

ct - This paper presents an experimental study of an engine driven by compressed air. The compressed air engine is a modified 100 cc internal combustion engine. The engine is modified from a 4-working stroke to a 2- working stroke engine (power and exhaust) by modification of cam-gear system. A temperature decrease from room temperature to 15 °C was observed at exhaust. The project was successfully manufactured and tested. Experimental analysis were carried out on this modified engine to find out its performance characteristics like brake power, indicated power, torque etc. It should be noted that pressure higher than that currently employed can result in increased engine performance in terms of output power, torque and speed. Nevertheless, the main advantage of this engine is that no hydrocarbon fuel is required that means no combustion process is taking place, thus the compressed air vehicle will play important role in reducing air pollution. Another benefit is that it uses air as fuel which is available abundantly in atmosphere. This study presents the atmospheric air which can be used in vehicles as the main or auxiliary source of power system.

Key Words: Compressed air, Alternative Sources of Energy, clean & highly efficient, light weight, Non-polluting.

Leishmaniasis is endemic in 66 countries in Southern Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia and in 22 countries in North, South and Central America. In Morocco, leishmaniasis was first described by Remlinger in 1913 and became a concern in the 1970s. The main objective of our study is to carry out a taxonomic inventory of sandfly vectors and to screen for cases of human leishmaniasis in Tafingoult village (Taroudant, Southern Morocco). Our work will strengthen the development of an eco-epidemiological research program for the eradication of leishmaniasis in this region. This collaborative survey was carried out between the Tafingoult Health Center and the Faculty of Sciences of Kenitra. The diagnosis of leishmanian wounds by the scraping method was carried out by a sterile vaccinostyle in the infiltrated part far from the superinfected areas. The product of the scraping and the collection of serosities were used to make stained smears with Giemsa and examined under a microscope with a 100 objective under immersion oil. The method of capturing sandflies focused on the aerial volatile phase using adhesive traps in the form of 25 x 20 cm surface paper panels impregnated with castor oil. The traps are placed overnight in the resting places of the sandflies. The next morning, the captured insects are removed and placed in labeled tubes containing 70% alcohol. Species identification is performed using guides or determination keys established by Bailly-Choumara and collaborators, based on morphoanatomical and biometric criteria. The results of the epidemiological survey revealed 87 positive cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania tropica which were classified: 1 case had three lesions, 9 cases had 2 lesions and the rest of the 77 cases had a single lesion. The captured sandflies were identified as belonging to the species Phlebotomus Sergenti and Phlebotomus longicuspis. Our study revealed the persistence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the region and suggests strengthening the epidemic eradication services.
