Published: November 2023

Tyrimo tikslas. Remiantis pagrindinėmis tarptautinėmis sifilio gydymo gairėmis, išanalizuoti pirmaeilio ir alternatyvaus sifilio gydymo metodus bei apžvelgti skirtumus. Tyrimo metodai. Atlikta pagrindinių tarptautinių sifilio gydymo gairių (Europos – 2020 m., Vokietijos – 2020 m., JAV – 2021 m. ir Didžiosios Britanijos – 2015 m.) analizė. Rezultatai. Visose gairėse nurodyta, kad pirmojo pasirinkimo vaistas sifiliui gydyti yra benzatino penicilinas. Naujausiose (2020 m.) Europos sifilio valdymo gairėse (EURO-IUSTI) azitromicinas išbrauktas, nes, remiantis naujausiais didelės imties tyrimų rezultatais, užfiksuota daug atsparumo ir su tuo susijusių nesėkmingo gydymo atvejų. EURO-IUSTI gairėse neįtraukti geriamieji penicilinai ir tetraciklinas. Nėščiųjų sifilis gydomas kaip ir ne nėštumo laikotarpiu, tik griežtai kontraindikuotas doksiciklinas. Neurosifiliui gydyti benzatino penicilinas neskiriamas, nes yra sunkiai pernešamas per hematoencefalinį barjerą ir smegenų skystyje neužtikrina reikalingo treponemicidinio kiekio, todėl pirmojo pasirinkimo vaistas yra benzilpenicilinas, leidžiamas į veną. Didžiosios Britanijos gairėse, skirtingai nuo kitų, neurosifiliui gydyti rekomenduojamas prolonguotas prokainpenicilinas. Išvados. Penicilinai yra pirmojo pasirinkimo vaistai visoms sifilio stadijoms gydyti, o ceftriaksonas (cefalosporinas) ir doksiciklinas (tetraciklinas) skiriami kaip alternatyvaus gydymo preparatai arba nustačius alergiją penicilinams.

Published: November 2023

Building information modelling (BIM) had been adopted in the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) industry since 2000’s owing to the increasing complexity of construction projects. Despite BIM had been proven in leading towards a more effective and efficient design process, Malaysia is still struggling with low BIM adoption rate professional designers in the construction industry particularly due to the absence of legal contractual agreement in dealing with BIM legal issues. This research aims to identify the potential legal issues faced by the industry and to propose BIM legal contractual provisions as BIM addendum into local contracts in Malaysia. Two objectives underpinned in this research, namely, (1) to determine the potential legal issues towards Malaysian professional designers in Building Information Modelling and (2) to propose preliminary legal framework clauses with reference to Building Information Modelling into current local standard form of contracts. Survey questionnaire method using selective sampling was adopted in this research in Malaysia. Thirty-one valid questionnaires were analysed. The results identified 28 BIM related legal clauses that could be included into the local contracts. As a result from in-depth analytical discussion, these potential legal variables were then taken into consideration as contractual framework for legal obligations of professional designers with reference to BIM. While providing a better paveway towards the proposal of BIM contractual provisions in Malaysia, this research helps to fill up the research gap of BIM legal provisions in the Malaysian construction industry.

Brain tumour identification and categorization are critical for diagnosis and treatment. This work uses preprocessing and classification algorithms to discover and categories brain tumours. Gaussian smoothing reduces noise and improves image quality, Genetic Algorithms select and optimize features, Deep Learning-Based Segmentation accurately segments tumours, Local Binary Patterns (LBP) extract texture features, and K-Nearest Neighbors classify tumours. Gaussian smoothing reduces noise and improves brain imaging data. Genetic Algorithms extract the most relevant and discriminative features from preprocessed photos. A Deep Learning-Based Segmentation model accurately segments brain tumour regions using these features. After segmentation, Local Binary Patterns (LBP) extract tumour texture features. The K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) method classifies tumours using these texture features to capture tumour spatial patterns. Our suggested brain tumour detection and classification method combines several techniques to increase accuracy and reliability. Gaussian smoothing and LBP feature extraction improve feature discrimination. Deep Learning-Based Segmentation and the KNN classifier ensure precise tumour location and robust classification. The proposed method will be tested on brain scans including tumour areas. Classification performance measures include accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC. This work will improve brain tumour detection and classification methods for more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning. The primary goal of the work is to enhance brain tumour identification and categorization using pre processing, classification algorithms, and advanced techniques, ultimately improving diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

Published: November 2023

The flipped classroom model enables students to acquire fundamental knowledge outside of class time; thus, include reading materials or video lectures. This will be able to free up class time for knowledge application, student engagement in active learning, and higher-order thinking. The flipped classroom model is increasingly being adopted in competency-based medical education. However, the potential of flipped classrooms for enhancing medical education has not yet been proven and it poses a major challenge to students who have not mastered self-regulated learning strategies. Thus, they may not be able to understand the information presented in the course materials or to strategically use learning resources outside of class. In this project, we have created a mobile augmented reality (AR) application for students studying anatomy to help them grasp the idea of the AR flipped classroom. Students were instructed to use the same three mobile augmented reality (MAR) applications with different design and approach. The three types of MAR applications are — those with markers and notes on printed notebooks (BARA1), those with markers and notes are on a website (BARA2), and those with all notes in the MAR application and the marker are a tangible 3D object (BARA3). From the series of experiment, we found out that most students favour the BARA3, meanwhile the medical lecturers essentially prefer the BARA1. In this research three things have been considered: interface design, the usefulness of Augmented Reality (AR), technical problems with the use of AR applications, and educators training on the use of AR applications. Without a well-designed interface and guidance for the students, AR technology can be too complicated to use, especially for those who are not familiar with the technology.

Published: November 2023

The surge in online learning has transformed education, impacting how acting is taught in Malaysian Art Schools. To ensure continual learning progress, diverse instructional strategies are employed, but the pandemic has disrupted traditional studio and in-the-field acting training. This study addresses the challenge of adapting fundamental acting education for lower secondary students at a Malaysian Art School in the context of remote learning. The conventional hands-on, in-person approach to teaching acting conflicts with the current demand for technology-infused learning, hindering cognitive growth. The absence of tailored Alternative Teaching Aids (ABM) for digital online learning further compounds the issue, emphasizing the need for a more engaging teaching method aligned with the school's curriculum. This project aims to evaluate the impact of interactive learning on the digital acting teaching approach within the existing syllabus. It seeks to provide teachers and basic theatre acting coaches with a comprehensive foundational acting module that embraces digital interactivity, catering to the needs of students at the Malaysian Art School and beyond. The study employs a hybrid teaching approach, merging traditional, recorded, and interactive mediums to develop a module based on established theatre textbook references. By integrating technology into the teaching process, the module addresses the limitations of the in-person model, fostering a dynamic and engaging learning environment. The results of this study hold potential significance for both the educational and industry realms. By incorporating interactive elements, the developed module not only enriches acting education at the Malaysian Art School but also provides a framework for similar institutions globally. The indirect technological applications of this training module extend beyond school settings, impacting various related sectors and contributing to the advancement of interactive acting learning systems worldwide.

Iterative reconstruction on Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging has recently been commercially available, resulting in reconstructed images with lower noise levels and better spatial resolution. The reconstruction variables employed and chosen under these suggestions include post-filtering, as well as several iterations and subset numbers. However, most of the number of iterations and subsets will give distortion to the segmentation image on a volume to be segmented. For this purpose, this paper will compare the effect of distortion on the dice similarity coefficient of volume segmentation for the iterative reconstruction setting by default as practice. The best outcome with the smallest root-mean-square deviation, highest percentage contrast values, and highest dice similarity coefficient) for all iterations and subsets is in iteration 6 subset 16. Here, the root-mean-square deviation is 8.06. Moreover, the four most enormous spheres can be calculated from the six spheres filled. The best contrast percentage is in subset 32, but the background variability for that subset is exceptionally high, which is 64.5. With post-filtering implementation, the scatter-corrected slices show the most enhanced image resolution and contrast when using advanced Astonish reconstruction algorithms. The user must decide if noise reduction via post-filtering or increased image resolution is more suitable for a certain imaging process.

Variations of beach volume changes have been put into place at the coastline to measure the changes in volume and analyse beach response using geometric and volumetric comparison of beach profile sets. This study examined the volume change of a beach in an eroded location in Batu Pahat. As Pantai Punggur was identified as an eroding area, it was chosen as the research area where identifying changes to the beach's volume is necessary to evaluate changes to the condition of the beach. There is a rather strong demand for both technologies and research methods since technology tends to advance quickly. Therefore, in order to satisfy demand, the process of identifying the volumetric of the shoreline area was carried out using an unmanned aerial vehicle with the assistance of Pix4D Mapper and Global Mapper as a medium to study the changes in beach volume. Pix4D Mapper was used to process the beach volume changes and to analyze the aerial image, while the Global Mapper software conducted an analysis of beach volume changes. This study demonstrates that there is a noticeable shift in the volume of the beach within a month. Overall, the data provided demonstrates that Zones A and E are more vulnerable to erosion than the other zones.

The complexity of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) lung cavity lesion features significantly increase the cost of semantic segmentation and labelling. However, the high cost of semantic segmentation has limited the development of TB automatic recognition to some extent. To address this issue, we developed an algorithm that automatically generates a semantic segmentation mask of TB from the TB target detection boundary box. Pulmonologists only need to identify and label the location of TB, and the algorithm can automatically generate the semantic segmentation mask of TB lesions in the labelled area. The algorithm, first, calculates the optimal threshold for separating the lesion from the background region. Then, based on this threshold, the lesion tissue within the bounding box is extracted and forms a mask that can be used for semantic segmentation tasks. Finally, we use the generated TB semantic segmentation mask to train Unet and Vnet models to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate that Unet and Vnet achieve mean Dice coefficients of 0.612 and 0.637, respectively, in identifying TB lesion tissue.
STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF METRO LOADS ON THE DESTRUCTION OF NEARBY BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION STRUCTURES USING BIM TECHNOLOGIES

Published: November 2023

The authors studied the influence of metro loads on the destruction of nearby buildings and construction structures with the help of BIM technologies in order to eliminate the human factor at the design stage. In the study, numerical modeling was carried out using the LIRA-SAPR software package, and dynamic loadings were set by the time integration technique. The suggested technique involved a nonlinear dynamic analysis conducted considering the time factor; the parameters of the stress-strain state (displacement, force, stress) were determined at each moment of exposure, changing the rigid characteristics of the building structures. The authors conducted a structural assessment of an unfinished construction facility, considering the vibrodynamic loads of the metro. Numerous models were adopted as the structural designs of buildings that consider various impact factors, such as nonlinear soil behavior and permanent action and the nature of dynamic loads. The comparison with experimental data confirmed the theoretical and computational parts of the developed technique. The study determined the vibrodynamic impact of the metro on the construction structures. Verification of the developed methodology based on BIM technologies was carried out by comparing the results of numerical experiments with the results of subsequent full-scale vibration tests.

In order to understand the results of recent observations of exoplanets, models have become increasingly complex. Unfortunately, this increases both the computational cost and output size of said models. We intend to explore if AI image recognition can alleviate this burden. We used DYNAMICO to run a series of HD 209458-like models with different orbital radii. Training data for a number of features of interest was selected from the initial outputs of these models. This was used to train a pair of multi-categorization convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which we applied to our outer-atmosphere-equilibrated models. The features detected by our CNNs revealed that our models fall into two regimes: models with shorter orbital radii exhibit significant global mixing that shapes the dynamics of the entire atmosphere, whereas models with longer orbital-radii exhibit negligible mixing except at mid-pressures. Here the initial nondetection of any trained features revealed a surprise: a nightside hot spot. Analysis suggests that this occurs when rotational influence is sufficiently weak that divergent flows from the dayside to the nightside dominate over rotational-driven transport, such as the equatorial jet. We suggest that image classification may play an important role in future, computational, atmospheric studies. However special care must be paid to the data feed into the model, from the color map, to training the CNN on features with enough breadth and complexity that the CNN can learn to detect them. However, by using preliminary studies and prior models, this should be more than achievable for future exascale calculations, allowing for a significant reduction in future workloads and computational resources.

Recent space-based missions have ushered in a new era of observational astronomy, where high-cadence photometric light curves for thousands to millions of stars in the solar neighborhood can be used to test and apply stellar age-dating methods, including gyrochronology. Combined with precise kinematics, these data allow for powerful new insights into our understanding of the Milky Way’s dynamical history. Using TESS data, we build a series of rotation period measurement and confirmation pipelines and test them on 1560 stars across five benchmark samples: the Pleiades, Pisces–Eridanus, Praesepe, the Hyades, and field stars from the MEarth Project. Our pipelines’ recovery rates across these groups are, on average, 89%. We then apply these pipelines to 4085 likely single stars with TESS light curves in two interesting regions of Galactic action space. We identify 141 unique, rapidly rotating stars in highly eccentric orbits in the disk, some of which appear as rotationally young as the 120 Myr old Pleiades. Pending spectroscopic analysis to confirm their youth, this indicates that these stars were subject to fast-acting dynamical phenomena, the origin of which will be investigated in later papers in this series.
Transidentité en institution, une lecture à plusieurs
Authors: Des Garniers Côme
Published: November 2023

À travers l’étude du cas d’un patient transgenre au sein d’une institution de psychiatrie pour adultes, l’auteur nous raconte comment l’appui sur la pluridisciplinarité et la dynamique institutionnelle dans le soin permet progressivement d’ouvrir une porte sur une reconstruction du récit et de l’histoire. Le regard se pose également sur l’articulation entre corps, psychisme et acte, là où le récit ne pouvant se dérouler se traduit en traces sur le corps.
Narrativité et art-thérapie
Authors: Boyer-Labrouche Annie
Published: November 2023

L’auteure veut montrer que l’art-thérapie et la narrativité procèdent de la même démarche de soin. Elles ont en commun le travail sur les origines, l’identité et les traumatismes. La valeur thérapeutique de la narrativité se trouve enrichie par l’art-thérapie. L’utilisation de médias, le cadre mis en place par l’art-thérapeute, l’appel à la sensorialité dans un espace transitionnel, libèrent la créativité, les productions devenant le support de l’identité narrative. La description du cas de « Monsieur B. » illustre ce parcours. Dans ce dispositif, la narrativité est aussi une médiation.
A proof of Kirchhoff's first law for hyperbolic conservation laws on networks
Authors: Bayen Alexandre M. , Keimer Alexander , Müller Nils
Published: November 2023

In dynamical systems on networks, Kirchhoff's first law describes the local conservation of a quantity across edges. Predominantly, Kirchhoff's first law has been conceived as a phenomenological law of continuum physics. We establish its algebraic form as a property that is inherited from fundamental axioms of a network's geometry, instead of a law observed in physical nature. To this end, we extend calculus to networks, modeled as abstract metric spaces, and derive Kirchhoff's first law for hyperbolic conservation laws. In particular, our results show that hyperbolic conservation laws on networks can be stated without explicit Kirchhoff-type boundary conditions.

Published: November 2023

Today, technology dominates businesses across all scales and sectors, including healthcare. Blockchain (BC) is a pivotal technology in this transformation. It securely stores medical data, updates clinics seamlessly, enhances workflows, and thwarts hacking threats. However, research on BC's implementation challenges for patient services remains limited. This chapter investigates these challenges, categorizing BC into public, private, hybrid, and consortium forms. Major obstacles encompass interconnectivity, security, standardization absence, storage limits, hospital hesitancy, patient mistrust, cost, limited medical proficiency, and data governance. Overcoming these hurdles is crucial for widespread healthcare BC adoption, despite the abundant opportunities. In comparison to other technologies, BC's unique issues require deeper exploration. Researchers can scrutinize BC comprehensively for its business potential. This chapter stands as a prominent effort in pinpointing and analyzing BC's integration in healthcare.

The nonprofit sector has been growing around the world. In addition, non-profit organizations (NPOs) are an essential piece of a healthy society. It's undeniable that NPOs (also known as voluntary, independent third sector, or nongovernmental societal sectors) are a relevant part of our society. The activities of fundraising are vital. Following the digital transformation, NPOs have operated in a digital context. These organizations need digital marketing strategies, since the competition is high. This chapter was written with the purpose of elucidating the following research questions: which is the actual state of the art regarding the use of social media marketing in NPOs? In the midst of the various social media tools, which are the ones most successful for NPOs, regarding securing donors and fundraising goals? A qualitative approach was elected, involving an integrative literature review, from 2013 to 2021. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. The authors hope to contribute to a synthesis of knowledge and applicability of results of significant studies into practice.
