EVOLUTION OF THE JET EMISSION OF RADIO SOURCES WITH THE STEEP LOW-FREQUENCY SPECTRA
Authors: Miroshnichenko A. P.
Published: December 2024

We suppose the relation of source emission at the decameter and infrared bands as the estimate of the jet structure contribution relatively the central region of the source. This relation is examined for the sample of galaxies and quasars with steep low-frequency spectra from the UTR-2 catalogue. We have derived the relations of corresponding flux densities (at the frequency 25 MHz and at the frequency 1.38‧1014 Hz (near-infrared band)) and their connection with source’s redshifts, characteristic ages, jet propagation velocities. At the same value of the jet emission relation (at the separate value of this relation) the very close values of the characteristic age and the jet propagation velocity are derived for the examined galaxies and quasars with the same steep-spectrum type. So, the evolution of the galaxies and quasars with the steep linear radio spectrum (type S) may be similar. Analogously, one is similar for galaxies and quasars with the steep break radio spectrum (type C+). The considered relations have positive correlation for the corresponding redshifts, the jet propagation velocity. The radio sources with the steep linear spectrum display the smaller characteristic age (~107 years) than ones with the steep break spectrum (~108 years). And the obtained mean values of the jet propagation velocity for the examined galaxies and quasars with the steep linear spectrum (~109 cm/s) are more by one order than these for the examined galaxies and quasars with the steep break spectrum (~108 cm/s). The derived results may evidence for the cyclic activity of the steep-spectrum radio sources.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS IN THE SYSTEM OF CORPORATE RELATIONS
Authors: Sert O. V.
Published: December 2024

In the article there is an analysis of the legal status and functions of executive directors. The research aims to analyse the powers of executive directors and the scope of their assigned functions to clarify their role in corporate governance in Ukraine. To achieve this goal, the study uses various scientific methods, including technical-legal analysis, synthesis, analogy, modeling, comprehensive research, structural-functional analysis, comparative legal method and others. Author uses the technical-legal analysis method to assess terminology used in legal acts, highlighting issues with normative terminology. Specifically, Law No 1953-IX categorizes all board members as “manager”, which aligns with the “quality of law” criterion, overlooks the meaning attributed to this term in other legal texts and the functional distinctions between executive and non-executive directors. The author suggests clarifying the term “manager” and distinguishing between management functions and functions related to oversight and risk management, assigning last two exclusively to non-executive board members. The usage of the structural-functional method made it possible to identify the functional features of individual components within a one-tier corporate governance structure. It has been proposed that private joint-stock companies with a small number of shareholders should be allowed to establish an executive body without a mandatory board of directors or supervisory board. Law No 2465-IX already permits these companies to avoid traditional one-tier or two-tier structures; however, in its current form, the law’s implementation risks lacking substantive meaning. The comprehensive research method allowed for the integration of insights from not only commercial law but also from other legal fields. Executive directors elected to the board gain legal standing within corporate relations as individuals performing board functions-specifically managing the corporation’s ongoing operations. Employment contracts are signed with these directors, thus establishing employment relationships in addition to their corporate roles. They do not acquire corporate rights unless they are shareholders, and therefore, if not shareholders, they are not participants in corporate disputes. It is also concluded that the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court adjudicates disputes concerning the dismissal of executives and members of executive bodies within commercial jurisdiction, emphasizing the paramount importance of compliance with the procedures involved in adopting the contested decisions.
CRIMINALISTIC ANALYSIS OF DAVID FINCHER’S FILM "SEVEN"
Authors: Zheldubovska A. V.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the article is to study and further analyze the work of the film industry through the prism of criminal law and forensics, and to improve the understanding of the topic of crime and the psychology of serial killers on the example of the collective image of the antagonist. The article proposes a legal (criminal law) qualification of the crimes committed in the film and the actions of law enforcement officers under current Ukrainian legislation, and also substantiates the importance of cinema as a tool for studying and understanding various aspects of society, including the legal system. The film “Seven” is considered as a multidisciplinary source for studying law, ethics, morality, religion, psychology (in particular, the tort capacity and mental state of law enforcement officers) and cinema. The relevance of the topic is determined by the need to expand approaches to teaching law and forensics through the use of examples from cinema. The analysis of previous studies shows that insufficient attention is paid to the use of works of art for legal education. In the presentation of the main material, the author examines the unlawful acts depicted in the film, including torture, murder with particular cruelty, violation of the inviolability of the home and illegal deprivation of liberty, and qualifies them according to current Ukrainian legislation. The author examines the methods and techniques of investigation, in particular, the use of illegal actions by law enforcement officers. The article uses general scientific and special methods, such as formal legal and dialectical, to achieve the research objectives. The theoretical study was based on the provisions of national legislation, in particular, the provisions of the relevant sections of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, since, due to the unique and exclusive nature of the work, the scientific works of domestic and foreign authors were not the source of this study.
GENERAL PROBLEMS REGARDING THE DEFINITION OF THE SYSTEM OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW PRINCIPLES AND THE CONTENT OF THE PRINCIPLE OF CONSISTENCY AND LONG-TERM ORIENTATION
Authors: Mykolenko O. I.
Published: December 2024

The article examines the general issues of defining the system of principles of administrative law and the content of the principle of sustainability and long-term orientation. It was found that one of the little-studied principles of good governance is the principle of sustainability and long-term orientation, since the description of its content and features of its implementation in practice in scientific and educational literature is limited to a few sentences. This fact, in the opinion of the author of the article, indicates, firstly, significant gaps in the theory of administrative law, which is devoted to the principles of administrative law, secondly, the artificiality of the system of principles of administrative law, which was formed in the educational and methodological literature, thirdly, the competition of two scientific worldviews – educational and educational, which should be based, but is not based on the achievements of administrative science, and scientific, which should be the foundation, but is not the foundation (at least today) for the development of textbooks and manuals on administrative law. There is a crisis in the science of administrative law, as science is forced to submit to and adapt to the policy pursued by entities that finance the publication of educational and methodological literature in Ukraine. It is proven that the existing system of principles of administrative law (the rule of law and the principles of good governance) does not meet the needs of administrative law as a branch of law in Ukraine. It has lost touch with past national experience, and borrowed scientific ideas about the principles of administrative law are disconnected from the needs of Ukrainian society. The example of the principle of sustainability and long-term orientation in the activities of public administration entities shows the shortcomings of the modern system of principles of administrative law and principles of good governance. It is concluded that the content of the principle of sustainability and long-term orientation requires rethinking not from the standpoint of the activities of administrative bodies of the European Union, as is done today in special literature, but from the standpoint of the activities of public administration entities in Ukraine.

Work-Life Balance of Nurses on Organisation Productivity in the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH)
Authors: Okorie Oko Ume
Published: December 2024

The escalating demands of healthcare services at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH) have intensified the pressures on nurses, culminating in compromised work-life balance. This imbalance detrimentally impacts their job satisfaction, subsequently affecting organizational productivity and patient care quality. Given the critical role of nurses in healthcare delivery, understanding and addressing their work-life balance challenges is imperative for enhancing their job satisfaction and organizational effectiveness. This study delves into the current state of work-life balance among RSUTH nurses, identifying the nexus between their work-life balance, job satisfaction, and organizational productivity, thereby highlighting a significant gap necessitating urgent interventions. Anchored in the JD-R Model, this study employs a descriptive survey design, gathering data from 48 purposively sampled nurses across varied departments via observations and questionnaires. Analyzing responses through descriptive statistics elucidates the influence of work-life balance on nurses' job satisfaction and productivity, offering insights into existing disparities and areas requiring improvement. Results underscore a critical linkage between nurses' work-life balance and RSUTH's productivity, emphasizing how suboptimal balance impairs job satisfaction and operational efficiency. Nurses report that inadequate work-life integration significantly affects their professional contentment and performance. Conversely, a supportive work-life environment fosters higher job satisfaction, engagement, and retention, directly enhancing organizational productivity and patient care standards. Therefore, targeted strategies enhancing work-life balance are imperative, advocating for flexible scheduling, support systems, and institutional policies that prioritize nurses' well-being, ultimately benefiting RSUTH's workforce stability and healthcare service quality. Against this backdrop the paper recommended that RSUTH should implement structured interventions, such as flexible work arrangements, robust support mechanisms, and comprehensive work-life balance policies, to mitigate the adverse impacts of work-life imbalance on nurses. Encouraging a supportive culture that values nurses' well-being will catalyze improvements in job satisfaction, staff retention, and productivity, thereby bolstering RSUTH's healthcare delivery efficacy.
Repro Eko Farm

Poljoprivreda, sve više postaje jedna od najvažnijih strateških privrednih grana. Cilj poljoprivredne proizvodnje predstavlja uzgajanje kvalitetne i zdravstveno-bezbedne hrane. Međutim, obzirom da je savremeno društvo ogrezlo o prekomerno, nekontrolisano, odnosno nestručno korišćenje raznih (hemijskih) preparata sa ciljem zaštite proizvodnje, često se u pitanje dovodi bezbednost i kvalitet namirnica, odnosno proizvoda koji se nude. Narušavaju se prirodni ciklusi reprodukcije, kako poljoprivrednih proizvoda, tako i konzumenata istih, a što je najstrašnije, upotreba hemijski tretiranih proizvoda u ishrani, dovodi do raznih poremećaja metabolizma kod ljudi, dok na prirodu ostavlja nemerljive posledice, jer se zemlja ne može tek tako prečistiti. Kako sprečiti katastrofu u najavi? Odgovor treba tražiti u takozvanim ekološkim farmama, odnosno manjim gazdinstvima, gde ekonomija obima ne ugrožava održivi razvoj, već sadrži sve tri kopmonente održivosti: ekološku, ekonomsku i socijalnu. Balansiranjem pomenutih stavki, ekološke farme, podstiču zdravu proizvodnju, smanjujuću negativne efekte na prirodu istovremeno brinući o zdravlju onih koji konzumiraju proizvode sa ovih poseda. U radu će se predstaviti jedna od eko farmi, kao studija slučaja, a zaključci izvedeni iz rada, mogu poslužiti kao primer dobre prakse i za ostala slična gazdinstva.
Sedem desetletij reševanja varnostnih izzivov, povezanih z Romi v Pomurju
Authors: Eman Katja
Published: December 2024

Julija leta 1952 je bil v reviji Kriminalistična služba, ki danes izhaja pod imenom Revija za kriminalistiko in kriminologijo, objavljen članek z naslovom »Ciganska vlomilska tolpa v Prekmurju je opozorila na ciganski problem v Sloveniji«. Avtorji menimo, da ravnanje policije in širše lokalne skupnosti pri reševanju opisanega primera predstavlja enega od pomembnih mejnikov pri reševanju romske problematike v tem delu Slovenije. V prispevku predstavimo kronološki pregled pomembnejših dogodkov pri reševanju romske problematike z vidika policije in Centra za socialno delo, saj je pri problemih (soustvarjanju rešitev) v lokalnih skupnostih, tudi romskih, pomembno medsebojno obveščanje (medinstitucionalno sodelovanje), podpora in skupno odzivanje na posamezne, včasih tudi krizne, situacije. Rečemo lahko, da je danes sodelovanje policije, socialne službe in romske manjšine v Pomurju na visoki ravni in je Pomurje lahko primer dobre prakse za druge regije.
Kako široko je razumevanje varnosti v lokalnih skupnostih – stališča županov nekaterih občin v Posavju
Authors: Sotlar Andrej , Tominc Bernarda
Published: December 2024

Občine imajo določene zakonske pristojnosti na področju zagotavljanja varnosti. Ker se po velikosti, kadrovskih in materialnih kapacitetah ter glede varnostne problematike razlikujejo, ni nepomembno, kako župani razumejo in obravnavajo varnost, varnostne pojave in probleme, ko gre za občine, ki jih vodijo. Vemo namreč, da tisto, kar je uradna ocena stanja varnosti in njenega zagotavljanja na državni ravni, nujno (ali sploh) ne velja za občine ali regije. Med varnostno zanimive regije zagotovo sodi tudi (statistična) regija Posavje. Ta je zaradi svojega geografskega položaja, bližine meje in s tem povezane problematike, energetske in prometne kritične infrastrukture, lokalno specifične varnostne problematike ipd. varnostno heterogena, a izredno zanimiva za proučevanje, hkrati pa v odnosu do preostale Slovenije vse pogosteje nastopa kot zaokrožena politična in gospodarska entiteta, katere mnenje bi moralo imeti čedalje večjo težo. Zato prispevek predstavlja poglede intervjuvanih županov nekaterih posavskih občin na varnost in z njo povezano problematiko.

Genetic diversity in Spodoptera litura (Fab.) from major soybean growing states of India
Authors: Gandhi B. Kiran , Patil R.H.
Published: December 2024

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA molecular markers analysis of Spodoptera litura larvae population from seven major soybean growing regions of India revealed, populations from Hyderabad and Indore, shared cent per cent similarity, Pune and Parbhani populations showed 90 per cent similarity, Adilabad population shared 83 per cent similarity with both Hyderabad and Indore populations, while Dharwad and Belagavi populations showed 72 per cent similarity. The lowest genetic similarity value was observed between Dharwad and Parbhani populations (46%). It is clear from the similarity analysis more than 46 per cent similarity between populations of the S. litura from major soybean growing states, demonstrate mediocre genetic differences between the populations. Though much genetic diversity was not observed between S. litura populations, topological and temporal factors perhaps influenced the existed diversity among the populations.

ФРАЗЕОЛОГИЗМИ СА СОМАТИЗМОМ NYAK/ВРАТ У МАЂАРСКОМ И СРПСКОМ ЈЕЗИКУ
Authors: Хасанагић Ђорђин Снежана
Published: December 2024

Фразеологизми представљају опште, безвременске истине настале на основу човековог искуства. Како се прва човекова искуства базирају на спознаји конкретног, телесног, онда не чуди што је он користио управо делове тела да разуме и искаже апстрактне категорије. Отуда су соматизми веома заступљени у фразеологији сваког језика, чему у прилог говори и наше истраживање.
Циљ нашег истраживања јесте утврђивање сличности и разлика између два језика, српског и мађарског, на примерима фразеологизама који садрже соматизам nyak/врат. Полазни језик у истраживању је мађарски. Корпус је ексцерпиран из српских и мађарских описних и фразеолошких речника и чини га 51 фразем на мађарском језику.
Српски и мађарски језик су генеалошки и типолошки посве различити језици и разлике међу њима манифестују се на свим језичким нивоима. Међутим, не смемо да занемаримо чињеницу да су у питању језици који читав миленијум коегзистирају на просторима Панонске низије. Разлике које проналазимо у фразеологизмима одсликавају пре свега културне специфичности једног народа, док се сличности могу објаснити помоћу културних, социјалних и историјских веза, као и универзалним истинама до којих су носиоци двају језика долазили независно једни од других.
ПЕРИФРАСТИЧНИ ИЗРАЗИ СА ГЛАГОЛИМА ДАТИ/ДОБИТИУ СРПСКОМ ЈЕЗИКУ И ЊИХОВИ ПРЕВОДНИ ЕКВИВАЛЕНТИ У МАЂАРСКОМ ЈЕЗИКУ
Authors: Иванковић Мирјана
Published: December 2024

У овом раду пажња се посвећује једном мањем сегменту перифрастичних израза са глаголима дати/ad и добити/kap, функционално употребљеним. Циљ је да се утврде инвентар и особености номиналног дела с којим се удружују у српском и мађарском језику. Почетна хипотеза јесте да постоје одређена формална и семантичка подударања у конституисању посматраних структура, али и одступања. Истражују се семантичке везе међу елементима два језика, као и сличности, односно разлике у формалној манифестацији. Грађу за истраживање чине примери забележени у литератури и речницима српског језика. Утврђује се да ли су наведене језичке појаве више изражене у једном језику или су подједнако експлицитне, и колико се начин њиховог изражавања подудара. Будући да до сада овакво истраживање није спроведено контрастивно у посматраним језицима, очекује се да може дати допринос преводилачкој и наставној пракси.

Responding to Anti-Institutionalism in the Netherlands: Challenges and Opportunities for (Local) Policymakers
Authors: van Ginkel Bibi , van Deventer Fulco
Published: December 2024

The issue of anti-institutionalism and anti-institutional violent extremism was placed on the policy agenda in the Netherlands in June 2023 with the publication of the report on anti-institutional extremism by the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD). In this report, we will explore the concept and phenomenon, and focus on what anti institutionalism looks like in the Netherlands. Part of the phenomenon is also the movement of sovereign citizens. They pose a challenge that increasingly more municipalities have to deal with. We question whether it makes sense to qualify anti-institutionalism as a form of (violent) extremism by referencing the academic definitional debate and by comparing the various models to study radicalisation with the way anti-institutionalism is materialising in the Netherlands. After studying the radicalisation process and the underlying push and pull factors of anti-institutionalism, we shift our focus to the national and local response mechanisms and policy frameworks. We conclude with the identification of key challenges and opportunities for prevention response mechanisms.

Cloud-edge-end based key management for decentralized applications
Authors: Zhang Jie , Zhang Futai
Published: December 2024

How to securely manage and use private keys of digital signature schemes is a pivotal problem for blockchain-based decentralized applications (DApps), as they determine the ownership of data contents and digital assets. A well-recognized approach for key management is threshold cryptography which distributes private keys to different nodes such that the whole system can tolerate a certain number of failures or corruptions. Motivated by the key management need of DApps, threshold signature has attracted widespread attention, with a number of new constructions being proposed in recent years. However, a practical one for DApps' end users is still lacking, as existing schemes are hard to deploy due to the high cost of communication and distributed features.

In this paper, we combine $$ (2, 3) $$ -threshold signature with the widely deployed cloud-edge-end (CEE) paradigm. We first propose the CEE key management framework which involves an end node, an edge node and a cloud node maintaining $$ (2, 3) $$ shares of end users' private keys. Then, following the framework, we construct a $$ (2, 3) $$ -threshold elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) scheme with provable security based on the ECDSA assumption. Compared with representative constructions of generalized threshold ECDSA, the new scheme is easy to deploy in applications developed following the CEE framework. Additionally, it addresses share tampering and requires only three messages for distributively issuing a signature, which is lower than the best practice of $$ (2, 2) $$ -threshold ECDSA (four messages) that cannot tolerate tampering.

Tanto na perspectiva do senso comum quanto à luz do conhecimento científico, o magistério tem sido percebido como uma atividade laboral estressante tanto na dimensão física quanto mental, portanto, o artigo tem como objetivo analisar os impactos causados pelas licenças médicas, provenientes de tratamentos de saúde dos profissionais da rede estadual de ensino do estado do Tocantins. Para isso, recorreu-se aos dados publicados pela Secretaria de Educação do Estado do Tocantins. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo de abordagem descritiva. O estudo foi realizado nos anos de 2013 a 2023, abrangendo os profissionais da educação do estado do Tocantins. Os dados foram disponibilizados pela Secretaria de Estado da Administração - SECAD/TO, bem como pela Junta Médica Oficial - JMO. Os resultados mostram que o número de licenças para tratamento da própria saúde tem sido elevado nos últimos 10 anos, em especial, no ano de 2023. Portanto, discute-se a necessidade de programas e intervenções que forneçam subsídios para que os profissionais de educação não continuem adoecendo com tanta frequência e consequentemente se afastando de seus respetivos cargos. O trabalho apresenta dados relevantes para a literatura da área, na medida em que se percebe uma tendência de aumento das licenças causadas pelo adoecimento dos profissionais da educação do estado do Tocantins. Os resultados, apesar de preocupantes, mostram um caminho a ser seguido pelo estado do Tocantins: investir em saúde e qualidade de vida de seus profissionais.

A simple model of a measurement in a laboratory isolated from the environment is analyzed in detail, demonstrating the features of the collapse effect. Such an experiment can readily be implemented today under the idealization of an observer's memory as a simple quantum system. The central role of loss of information is emphasized.
The Space-Time Membrane Model: Unifying Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity through Elastic Membrane Dynamics
Authors: Swann Paul
Published: December 2024

We present the Space-Time Membrane (STM) model, which treats our four-dimensional spacetime as thesurface of an elastic membrane, with a mirror universe on the opposite side. Gravitational curvature correspondsto membrane deformation induced by energy external to the membrane, while homogeneous internal energydoes not produce curvature. Particles emerge as oscillatory excitations on the membrane’s surface, with theirmirror antiparticles on the far side. These oscillations modulate the membrane’s local elastic properties, yieldinggravitational and quantum-like phenomena. A modified elastic wave equation, incorporating tension, bendingstiffness, and space-time-dependent elastic variations, reproduces key features of General Relativity (GR) andaspects of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). Identifying strain fields with metric perturbations recovers equationsstructurally identical to the Einstein Field Equations. Time dilation, gravitational effects, and non-singular blackhole interiors arise naturally from these mechanics. Moreover, stable standing waves and controlled stiffnessvariations produce interference patterns and entanglement analogues, resembling quantum experiments withina deterministic, continuum framework. Interpreting photons as composite particle–antiparticle oscillationspreserves their masslessness, correct polarisations, U(1) gauge symmetry, and Lorentz invariance, consistentwith QFT. High-energy processes converting photons into particle pairs support this view. By adjusting anintrinsic coupling constant, time-averaged stiffness variations match observed vacuum energy, reproducing thecosmological constant. Furthermore, spatial variations in persistent wave energy may explain dark matter-likedistributions and address the Hubble tension. The STM model thus offers a geometric, deterministic approach tolinking particle-scale dynamics with cosmological phenomena, potentially resolving long-standing conceptualissues such as the black hole information loss paradox.

Background/Objectives: In Europe, the prevalence of AF is expected to increase 2.5-fold over the next 50 years with a lifetime risk of 1 in 3-5 individuals after the age of 55 years and a 34% rise in AF-related strokes. The PREFATE project investigates evidence gaps in the early detection of atrial fibrillation in high-risk populations within primary care. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of device-detected atrial fibrillation (DDAF) and assess the feasibility and impact of systematic screening in routine primary care. Methods: prospective cohort study (NCT 05772806) included 149 patients aged 65–85 years, identified as high-risk for AF. Participants underwent 14 days of cardiac rhythm monitoring using the Fibricheck® app, alongside evaluations with standard ECG and transthoracic echocardiography. The primary endpoint was a new AF diagnosis confirmed by ECG or Holter monitoring. Statistical analyses examined relationships between AF and clinical, echocardiographic, and biomarker variables. Results: A total of 18 cases (12.08%) were identified as positive for possible DDAF using FibriCheck® and 13 new cases of AF were diagnosed during follow-up, with a 71.4-fold higher probability of confirming AF in FibriCheck®-positive individuals than in FibriCheck®-negative individuals, resulting in a post-test odds of 87.7%. Significant echocardiographic markers of AF included reduced left atrial strain (<26%) and left atrial ejection fraction (<50%). MVP ECG risk scores ≥4 strongly predicted new AF diagnoses. However, inconsistencies in monitoring outcomes and limitations in current guidelines, particularly regarding AF burden, were observed. Conclusions: The study underscores the feasibility and utility of AF screening in primary care but identifies critical gaps in diagnostic criteria, anticoagulation thresholds, and guideline recommendations.

Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII), an ultrarare lysosomal storage disorder caused by β-glucuronidase deficiency, presents significant therapeutic challenges. Here, we report a 3-year follow-up on the outcomes of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in the first Taiwanese case of MPS VII.
Methods: The patient, who initially presented with hydrops fetalis and developmental delay, was diagnosed at age 4 through genetic analysis, which revealed compound heterozygous mutations (c.104C > A and c.1454C > T) in the GUSB gene. ERT with vestronidase alfa was initiated at age 6.
Results: During the 3-year follow-up, significant clinical improvements were observed, including elimination of oxygen dependency, with BiPAP needed only during sleep; improvement in mobility, with the patient’s 6-min walk test distance increasing from 70 to 95 m; and steady progression of growth parameters showed, with height increasing from 110 to 118 cm. Urinary glycosaminoglycan levels decreased and stabilized. The patient’s cardiac and hepatic conditions remained stable, although splenomegaly persisted. No severe adverse events were reported during ERT.
Conclusions: This case demonstrates the effectiveness and safety of long-term ERT in MPS VII, particularly in improving respiratory function and physical performance. Our experience highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment initiation, providing valuable insights into the management of this ultrarare disease.

Published: December 2024

This article analyzes the use of projected gradient methods in survival analysis within the field of public health, highlighting their ability to handle complex data and multiple censoring conditions. Based on a systematic review of 15 studies selected through the Scopus database, their effectiveness in modeling epidemiological risks and predicting clinical outcomes in high-dimensional environments was demonstrated. The integration of advanced technologies, such as recurrent neural networks, optimizers like Adam, and data augmentation techniques through GANs, has allowed overcoming challenges associated with data scarcity and imbalance, significantly improving the quality of the analyses. Additionally, the use of hybrid models, combining traditional approaches with innovative methodologies, has expanded the possibilities for prediction in complex scenarios. This work concludes that projected gradient methods, along with modern tools, are essential for designing more effective public health policies and prevention strategies. The need to continue investing in technological infrastructure and training is emphasized to maximize their applicability in the field of public health.

The first immune response controls many bacterial and viral inflammatory diseases. Oral immunization with cholera toxin (CT) elicits antibodies and can prevent cholerae in endemic environments. While the IgG immune response to the toxin is well-documented, the IgA and IgM epitopes responsible for the initial immune reaction to the toxin remained uncharted. In this study, our objective was to identify and characterize immunologically and structurally these IgA and IgM epitopes. Materials and Methods: We conducted SPOT synthesis to create two libraries, each containing one hundred twenty-two 15-mer peptides, encompassing the entire sequence of the three chains of the CT protein. We could map continuous IgA and IgM epitopes by testing these membrane-bound peptides with sera from mice immunized with an oral vaccine (Schankol™). Our approach involved topological studies, peptide synthesis, and the development of an ELISA. Results: We successfully identified seven IgA epitopes, two in CTA, two in CTB, and three in protein P. Additionally, we discovered eleven IgM epitopes, all situated within CTA. Three IgA-specific and three IgM-specific epitopes were synthesized as MAP4 and validated using ELISA. We then used two chimeric 45-mer peptides, which included these six epitopes, to coat ELISA plates and screened them with sera from immunized mice. This yielded sensitivities and specificities of 100%. Conclusion: Our findings have unveiled a significant collection of IgA and IgM-specific peptide epitopes from cholera toxins A, B, and P. These epitopes, along with those IgG previously identified by our group, reflect the immunoreactivity associated with the dynamic of the immunoglobulins switching associated with the cholera toxin vaccination.

Published: December 2024

Accurate knowledge of surface and subsurface soil moisture (SM) is essential for hydrologic modeling, weather forecasting, and agricultural water management. NASA’s Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite (level 3) provides ‘surface’ SM with 2–3 days temporal resolution, hence lacks daily and subsurface SM information. This study developed a convolutional neural network – long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) deep learning model to produce daily surface (5 cm) and subsurface (25 cm) SM products by integrating SMAP Level 3 ancillary data, North American Land Data Assimilation System Phase 2 (NLDAS-2) SM, and Soil Landscapes of the United States (SOLUS100) digital maps across the contiguous U.S. Two input scenarios were evaluated: scenario 1 used only SMAP ancillary data, and scenario 2 included both SMAP ancillary data and SOLUS100 soil maps. Model evaluation with in-situ SM data showed higher accuracy for scenario 2, indicating the importance of soil properties (texture and bulk density) in SM estimation. Coarse-textured soils showed the highest estimation accuracy, followed by medium- and fine-textured soils. The model also performed in estimating subsurface SM than surface SM for most land-cover types. Incorporating SMAP ancillary data and SOLUS100 digital soil maps into ConvLSTM improved surface and subsurface SM estimation. The results highlight the potential of deep learning for integrating multi-source multi-scale observations for improving SM estimation at large scale.

Published: December 2024

The primary challenge in robotic navigation lies in enabling robots to adapt effectively to new, unseen environments. Addressing this gap, this paper enhances the Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) model’s adaptability by introducing randomized start and goal points. This approach aims to overcome the limitations of fixed goal points used in prior research, allowing the robot to navigate more effectively through unpredictable scenarios. This proposed extension was evaluated in unseen environments to validate the enhanced adaptability and performance of the TD3 model. The experimental results highlight improved flexibility and robustness in the robot’s navigation capabilities, demonstrating the model’s ability to generalize effectively to unseen environments. In addition, this paper presents an overview of the TD3 algorithm’s architecture and principles, with an emphasis on key components like the actor and critic networks, their updates, and mitigation of overestimation bias. The goal is to provide a clearer understanding of how the TD3 framework is adapted and utilized in this study to achieve improved performance.
