The use of artificial intelligence methods for extract meaning from natural text is a scientific and practical field that is increasingly important in the context of creating software tools to interact with humans. Social networks generate a huge amount of textual information, the classification and proper processing of which can serve to counter crimes such as hate speech or provide useful information about events and trends in society. This paper presents an application of the author's Compositional Machine Learning Dynamic Classification (CoMLDC) algorithm. The algorithm dynamically classifies the emotional attitudes from Google’s dataset GoEmotions collected from communications of users in a social network. The results of the research show the advantages of the dynamic multi-class classification of the presented algorithm, over the classic algorithms for machine learning classification. The main advantage over the existing algorithms for multi-class, multi-label classification is finding a dynamic set of classes to which a given text message to be assigned without having to train a separate classifier for each class or set a constant number of classes. Instead, the classification result produced by the algorithm is achieved based on mathematical transformations and calculations.

Authors: Ferreira Aline Carvalho , Guzzo Marina Souza Lobo
Published: December 2024

Este artigo é resultado da dissertação de Mestrado intitulada “Dimensões do autocuidado na experiência de mulheres artistas da Baixada Santista”, e tem como objetivo refletir sobre as dimensões de autocuidado estabelecidas na conexão que cada participante cria e narra com a arte, singulares em suas experiências de vida e subjetividades. Fundamentado em vertentes teóricas do feminismo descolonial, que discutem arte e colonialidade, cuidado e capitalismo, as autoras, como artistas e pesquisadoras da saúde, partem da problemática de que a arte ainda atua a serviço de discursos e códigos estéticos impregnados das hierarquias de poder que perpetuam desigualdades em sua produção, distribuição e acesso. Portanto, ancorado à urgência da descolonização do conhecimento, o estudo reitera a potência do fazer artístico na vida das mulheres, quando por meio dele, torna-se possível celebrar a pluralidade, abrir espaço de narrativas, de cuidado, autocuidado, e da própria reinvenção da vida.

The role of attitudes in shaping social perception in the context of crisis
Authors: Tarnovschi Ana , Cobuscean Simona-Anastasia
Published: December 2024

Contemporary society faces a series of crises, ranging from economic and political to social and environmental ones. In this turbulent context, the way we perceive and interpret social reality becomes essential for our adaptation and for making responsible decisions. Crisis situations, whether natural, economic, or political, have a significant impact not only on concrete reality but also on how we perceive and interpret the world around us. Pre-existing attitudes play a crucial role in this reconfiguration of social perception, influencing how we process information, interpret events, and relate to others. Combating prejudices, promoting dialogue, and transparent communication are essential for balanced social perception and building a climate of social cohesion in difficult times. Social perception is a complex process influenced by a series of factors, among which pre-existing attitudes are included. In the context of crisis, it is essential to be aware of how attitudes can distort our perception of reality and to take concrete measures to inform ourselves from reliable sources, to engage in dialogue with those who have different opinions, and to promote transparent communication. Only through joint efforts to combat prejudices and promote tolerance and mutual understanding we can build a more united and resilient society in the face of crises.
Analyzing the effects of manufacturing parameters modification on final surface roughness in selective laser melting parts
Authors: Calvo Correa , Cortés Rodriguéz
Published: December 2024

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing technique widely used today for producing metal components. This method enables the fabrication of geometrically complex parts while reducing costs and production time compared to traditional manufacturing techniques. However, a notable drawback of SLM is its tendency to produce high surface roughness and superficial defects such as balling, porosity, debris, and waviness. This study evaluates the effects of modifying two manufacturing parameters-scanning speed and laser power-on the final surface roughness. To achieve this, cylindrical specimens were fabricated using various combinations of these parameters, and the resulting surface roughness metrics (Sa, Sq, Ssk, Sku, Sdr, among others) were measured using an optical 3D surface roughness measurement instrument. A Taguchi L8 design was applied to analyse the influence of the manufacturing parameters on the measured roughness characteristics. This study investigates the influence of laser power and scanning speed on surfaces manufactured through Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and their effects on the previously described roughness parameters. The authors observed that the manufacturing parameters have varying impacts on the final surface roughness of components produced via SLM. Due to the inherent characteristics of the process, a specific combination of parameters that reduces roughness within a specimen's layer may increase roughness at the layer boundaries. These findings underscore the complex relationship between manufacturing parameters and surface roughness in SLM-produced parts, emphasizing the need for strategies, such as surface finishing post-treatments, to achieve the desired surface quality.

Published: December 2024

Nigeria’s environmental sector currently face a significant funding gap. Nigeria has great prospects when it comes to Resort Designs thanks to the diverse landscape, beautiful scenery and many destinations with historic significance. Unfortunately, this is not the case and hence this pose to highlight major problems in Nigeria and possible solutions. The goal of this study is to ascertain the best ways to include soft landscape aspects into resort designs to enhance visitor appeal. In this sense, resorts are independent businesses that aim to provide most of a visitor's needs on the property, including food, drink, housing, sports, entertainment, and shopping. To test the hypothesis that soft landscape elements integrated in resort designs leads to an improved psychological approach on vacationers on such structures, a primary and secondary survey would be carried out to factor out certain data to achieve my aim. Respondents would be randomly divided into two conditions (the vacationers and Staff of several resorts) and asked to respond to an interview guide material. Responses would be concluded and analyzed for my findings using percentages to develop a data to consider for my proposed design. The results gotten from my analysis would be the governing factor to give an insight on how best the integration of soft landscape elements in resort design can be designed. On this basis a good design should therefore be proposed to ensure a proper resort design after proper research and considerations.

SERA UN NUEVO COMIENZO
Authors: SANCHEZ NESTOR
Published: December 2024

Hace algunos años, durante un congreso de Otorrinolaringología en Lima, escuché la conferencia de un especialista uruguayo, de muy avanzada edad. Realizaba solamente cirugías de laringe. Nos dijo, al término de mi vida, como médico y cirujano, yo sé que más he ayudado a mis pacientes con las palabras que han salido de mi boca, que con lo que mis manos hayan realizado.Estamos viviendo una época muy especial, con mucho avance tecnológico y nos preocupa que de alguna manera esta tecnología nos separe un poco del contacto visual, físico, verbal y, por lo tanto, humano con nuestros pacientes. Por allí encontrarán corrientes de métodos que hacen diagnósticos con extravagantes sistemas o por la tendencia de algunas personas de buscar sus síntomas en internet, llegando a conclusiones generalmente erróneas y preocupantes.Entonces volví a mis ojos y recuerdos nuevamente a las aulas universitarias para tener presente los consejos de mis viejos profesores. Muy sabios, muy humanistas. Recordando siempre a la medicina hipocrática.Hipócrates nació en la isla de Cos, en el mar Egeo, hace casi dos y medio siglos, pero siguen tan vigentes sus consejos médicos, como si viviera hoy.El Corpus Hipocrático, que fue el principal tratado médico de la antigüedad, mencionaba: la vida es corta; el arte, largo; la ocasión, efímera.La medicina hipocrática se basó en tres pilares.En primer lugar, separó la religión de la medicina, las enfermedades ya no se consideraban como castigo divino y, por eso y en segundo lugar,debemos trabajar con protocolos basados en la evidencia, buscando la verdad, con observación y comparación. En tercer lugar, el profundo respeto y ética en la atención a nuestros pacientes.Hipócrates tenía muchos aforismos que tienen vigencia en la actualidad. Hacía un resumen para la buena salud, lo que ahora podría ser un marketing de publicidad: caminar es la mejor medicina; tener buena nutrición; realizar ejercicios, ni mucho, ni poco; buscar aire fresco; tener reposo; limpieza corporal; decía que todo exceso es malo; que hay que cuidar al enfermo y a su cuidador; que el cuerpo debe tratarse como un todo y no como partes, y muchos otros aforismos.En su invocación a Apolo, en el Juramento para los jóvenes que querían ser médicos, decía en relación a su futuro desempeño: "si lo hago bien, que me bendigan; si lo hago mal, que me condenen".Por este motivo deseo aconsejar a mis colegas jóvenes que usen todas las ventajas que las tecnologías innovadoras nos brindan, pero siempre junto a la atención cariñosa a nuestros pacientes, escucharlos atentamente, comprenderlos, aconsejarlos, quererlos sinceramente.En nuestro Departamento de Registros Médicos del Hospital Alcívar queda guardado el diario hacer, es la historia de nuestro Hospital, la historia de nuestros pacientes y la historia de nosotros mismos. Aquí se registran los hechos del uso de la más alta tecnología abrazada por el gran espíritu humano de sus médicos y colaboradores, dedicados a calmar las angustias y dolores de nuestros pacientes.

Authors: Volkow Nora D.
Published: December 2024

Dr. Nora D. Volkow is Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at the National Institutes of Health, where she has served since 2003 as the first woman and first Hispanic person in this role. NIDA is the world's largest funder of scientific research on the health aspects of drug use and addiction. Dr. Volkow's groundbreaking work has been instrumental in demonstrating that substance use disorder is a brain disorder, revolutionizing our understanding of addiction. As a research psychiatrist and pioneer in the field of neuroimaging, Dr. Volkow transformed the use of brain imaging to investigate how substance use affects brain functions. In particular, her studies have documented how changes in the dopamine system affect the functions of brain regions involved with reward and self-control in addiction, leading to fundamental shifts in how addiction is viewed and treated. She has also contributed to understanding the neurobiology of obesity, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and aging. In this Genomic Press Interview, Dr. Volkow shares insights into her remarkable journey from a medical student in Mexico to becoming one of the most influential figures in addiction research while discussing her perspectives on the current challenges in addressing substance use disorders, including the ongoing opioid crisis.

Protective inherited mutations in activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP): the good, the bad, and the ugly
Authors: Gozes Illana , Shazman Shula , Giladi Eliezer , Levine Joseph
Published: December 2024

Activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP), essential for brain formation/function, reveals multiple cytoplasmic and chromatin interacting sites. Computational modeling, alongside the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, a leading instrument supporting the diagnosis of intellectual/developmental disabilities, now revealed a protective frame shift/stop mutation in ADNP. Thus, a woman with inherited mutation, ADNP_Glu931Glyfs*12 (VB), showed above average Vineland performance. Bioinformatics/in silico protein modeling indicated that while ADNP contains four 14-3-3 protein interaction sites (instrumental for ADNP nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling), ADNP_Glu931Glyfs*12 contains an additional fifth 14-3-3 interaction site, implicating stronger associations. Furthermore, the endogenous neuroprotective (investigational drug, davunetide) NAPVSIPQ (NAP) site was involved in the ADNP and ADNP_Glu931Glyfs*12-14-3-3 interactions. In this respect, the mutation also enhanced ADNP-SH3 associations (another NAPVISP interaction site 354-361 aa on ADNP, critical for cytoskeletal/cellular signaling). HB, the 8-year-old VB's son, while inheriting the mother's ADNP mutation, further presented a heterozygous pathogenic de novo mutation ADNP, p.Arg730Thrfs*5. However, in comparison to carriers of a similar p.Arg730* mutation (part of the autistic/intellectual disability ADNP syndrome), HB exhibited overall better Vineland 3 standard score of 70–80 for all measures, compared to the nominal score of 20 in a 27-year-old ADNP, p.Arg730* subject and the 100 ± 15 norm, corroborating ADNP_Glu931Glyfs*12 protection.

Published: December 2024

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric illness with high mortality rates and limited treatment outcomes. Psilocybin treatment (PT) has shown promise for various mental health indications and there is significant interest in exploring its potential for AN; however, studies to date are preliminary. Given the probable surge in psychedelic studies for AN, more information is needed to understand how to successfully apply and optimize these treatments for this vulnerable population. In this Emerging Topics article, we present a nuanced exploration of the potential benefits and constraints of PT for AN, contextualized within the framework of our clinical findings from a modest phase 1 pilot study. We offer here a synthesis of first-hand experiences and comprehensive thematic insights gleaned from 10 individuals with lived experience, providing a rich tapestry of perspectives on this novel therapeutic approach.

Published: December 2024

This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach through interviews, observation, and documentation to obtain in-depth data related to the implementation of learning management and its influence on spiritual intelligence. Using a descriptive analysis approach, the author identified findings in the field related to learning management in an effort to improve students' spiritual intelligence starting from curriculum planning, organising resources, controlling, supervising, and evaluating to run the learning process well. The results showed that the implementation of learning management in the PGMI study programme at Institut Daarul Qur'an Jakarta significantly contributed to improving students' spiritual intelligence. Programmes such as the Daqu Method and Tahsin & Tahfiz Intensive courses for students, as well as the integration of Islamic values in the curriculum are the main supporting factors. However, the biggest challenge faced is the different educational backgrounds of prospective students which affects their readiness in developing spiritual intelligence. To overcome this, the institute implemented an adjustment strategy through remedial programmes and more intensive personal guidance.
