Authors: Il'ina T. , Kolesnikov M. , Kryukov I. , Orlov P.
Published: March 2023

The methods of organization ventilation in livestock complexes are considered. Using the example of a fattening housing for 200 heads of a pig breeding complex, the methods of organizing a mechanical supply and exhaust and natural ventilation system are shown. For this housing, the performance of the ventilation system is calculated by excess moisture and by the content of carbon dioxide in the room. It is established that it is advisable to produce the performance of the ventilation system according to the values of excess moisture, which meets the requirements of the zoo-hygienic standard. The calculation of the multiplicity of air exchange in the animal housing is made, which is 1.5 times and corresponds to the normative design indicators for pig farms. An aerodynamic calculation of the supply and exhaust ventilation systems is made, the number of supply and exhaust ducts for each system is determined, respectively. To visualize the process of air supply and distribution in the SolidWorks program, a model of air flows is built during the operation of a natural and supply and exhaust ventilation system for three cases when the outside air temperature is -20; 0; +20 ° C. It is shown that in warm and cold periods of the year it is advisable to supply prepared air through distribution channels of supply ventilation. To achieve the required parameters of the indoor air in the pig complex, it is proposed to prepare the supply air in the mechanical ventilation system using an air heat pump with the MOVEBIT anti-icing system.

We also investigated the value of laboratory parameters in the estimation of critical cases and mortality in elderly patients. Materials and Methods: The study included 314 elderly patients aged 60 years and older who were diagnosed with COVID-19.The patients were divided into two groups according to age, as young old patients (60-74 years) and old old patients (≥75 years). Participants' age, gender, underlying diseases, laboratory findings, disease severity and survival data were obtained from hospital records. Results: The most common comorbidities in elderly patients were hypertension (57.6%), diabetes mellitus (33.8%) and cardiovascular disease (28%). Old old patients had higher rates of critical type (63.4% vs 30.8%, P<0.001) and death (41.9% vs 21.3%, P<0.001) compared to young old patients. The leukocyte count, neutrophil count, urea, creatinine, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, ferritin, troponin T, creatine kinase-MB, prothrombin time and D-dimer values were higher in the old old group compared to the young old group. In contrast, hemoglobin and albumin values were lower in the old old group. The areas under the curve (AUC) of albumin, CRP, procalcitonin, ferritin, troponin T and prothrombin time were greater than 0.80 to predict critically elderly COVID-19 patients. Ferritin had the highest AUC for predicting death (AUC: 0.819) followed by CRP (AUC: 0.805) and procalcitonin (AUC: 0.796). Conclusions: We found higher rates of critical type and death in old old patients compared to young old patients.

Published: March 2023

Background: Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is an inflammatory, systemic rheumatic condition that mostly affects the axial skeleton. Tenascin-C (TN-C) is a hexameric glycoprotein of considerable size, upregulated in many inflammatory conditions, while Interleukin-17 (IL-17) a cytokine that plays an important role in SpA symptoms. Objective: to investigate the upregulation between the serum levels of TN-C and IL-17 in Iraqi axSpA patients and the disease characteristics. Patients and Methods: Seventy-four axSpA patients and 28 matched controls were studied. Fifty-four patients received a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) and 20 did not. Serum TN-C and IL-17 concentrations were determined using the ELISA technique. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) was assessed. For statistical tests, Chi Square, Mann Whitney, Independent Samples T, and Pearson's correlation tests are used. Results: Patients mean age was 35.6±0.9 years, 65 males and 9 females, and disease duration was 5.18±0.6 years. 47.4% were smokers, 47% had inflammatory low back pain, and HLA-B27 was present in 91%. BASDAI mean was 6.1±0.4 in non-TNFi and 2.6±0.3 in those on TNFi. The serum TN-C concentration was significantly increased in patients, especially those on non-TNFi (79±9.6 pg/mL) compared to those on TNFi (69.1±3.2 pg/mL) and control (53±3.9 pg/mL) (p=0.003). Serum IL-17 was significantly elevated in those receiving TNFi (877.9±257 pg/mL) compared to non-TNFi (487.2±234 pg/mL) and control (182.4±36.6 pg/mL) (p=0.033). The TN-C significantly correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=0.27, p=0.02) and with hemoglobin (Hb) concentration (r=0.26, p=0.02). TN-C and IL-17 were non-significantly related (r=0.14, p=0.2). Conclusions: axSpA Patients demonstrated high levels of serum TN-C, particularly in those not receiving TNFi, and high IL-17 levels in those receiving TNFi, suggesting that there is an association with tissue injury from the disease and stimulation of immunological and resident tissue cells. Patients who had not received TNFi showed significantly higher disease activity than others.

Tasarım eğitiminde geleneksel eğitim metodlarının dışında öğrencilerin yaratıcı düşünme potansiyellerini ortaya çıkarma ve yeteneklerini geliştirmeye dayalı bilgiyi kazandırma yöntemi uygulanır. Bu çalışma kapsamında Bilecik Şeyh Edebali Üniversitesi İç Mimarlık ve Çevre Tasarımı Bölümü 3. sınıf öğrencilerinin 2021-2022 güz yarıyılında İç Mekanda Bitkisel Tasarım dersinde belirledikleri bir konsept dahilinde iç mekan bitkilendirme modeli önerileri geliştirilmiştir. Tüm projeler içinden seçilen beş tasarım önerisi kullanıcı-mekan-bitki ilişkisi özelinde tasarım yaklaşımlarıyla birlikte değerlendirilmiştir. Dönem sonunda öğrencilerin iç mekan organizasyonu ve bitkisel tasarım gerçekleştirebilme kabiliyeti kazandıkları ortaya çıkmıştır. Sonuç olarak iç mekanın kullanıcı gereksinimleri karşılanırken yapısal elemanların olduğu kadar bitkisel elemanlarında önemli olduğu, konsepte uygun bitkilendirme modellerinin mekana pozitif yönde katkıları olduğu vurgulanmıştır.

CLEP: Contrastive Learning for Epileptic Seizure Prediction Using a Spatio-Temporal-Spectral Network
Authors: guo lianghui , Yu Tao
Published: March 2023

 Seizure prediction of epileptic preictal period  through electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is important  for clinical epilepsy diagnosis. However, recent deep  learning-based methods commonly employ intra-subject  training strategy and need sufficient data, which are  laborious and time-consuming for a practical system and  pose a great challenge for seizure predicting. Besides,  multi-domain characterizations, including spatio-temporal?spectral dependencies in an epileptic brain are generally  neglected or not considered simultaneously in current  approaches, and this insufficiency commonly leads to  suboptimal seizure prediction performance. To tackle the  above issues, in this paper, we propose Contrastive  Learning for Epileptic seizure Prediction (CLEP) using a  Spatio-Temporal-Spectral Network (STS-Net). Specifically,  the CLEP learns intrinsic epileptic EEG patterns across  subjects by contrastive learning. The STS-Net extracts  multi-scale temporal and spectral representations under  different rhythms from raw EEG signals. Then, a novel triple  attention layer (TAL) is employed to construct inter?dimensional interaction among multi-domain features.  Moreover, a spatio dynamic graph convolution network  (sdGCN) is proposed to dynamically model the spatial  relationships between electrodes and aggregate spatial  information. The proposed CLEP-STS-Net achieved a  sensitivity of 96.7% and a false prediction rate of 0.072/h on  the CHB-MIT scalp EEG database. We also validate the  proposed method on clinical intracranial EEG (iEEG)  database from the Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical  University, and the predicting system yielded a sensitivity  of 95%, a false prediction rate of 0.087/h. The experimental  results outperform the state-of-the-art studies which  validate the efficacy of our method. Our code is available at  https://github.com/LianghuiGuo/CLEP-STS-Net. Index Terms—EEG, contrastive learning, spatio?temporal-spectral dependencies, dynamic graph  convolution, triple attention, seizure prediction
