Complications such as stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and heart failure can arise as a result of hypertension as a long-standing disease. Foot massage can help lower blood pressure and dilate blood vessels, reducing complications of hypertension. The aim of EBPN is to analyze the application of Evidence Based Practice Nursing (EBPN) foot massage therapy in hypertensive patients. The method for implementing EBPN through case studies uses a descriptive method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest approach to foot massage therapy (3 times for 15 minutes in 3 consecutive days) to reduce blood pressure. The sample consisted of 1 female respondent and 2 male respondents. The tensimeter and observation sheet are the measuring tools used. EBPN results: All 3 (100%) respondents had suffered from hypertension for > 5 years. There was a change in blood pressure before and after the intervention with the results: respondent 1 BP 139/85 mmHg to 130/80 mmHg, respondent 2 BP 139/88 mmHg to BP 130/82 mmHg, and respondent 3 BP 147/97 mmHg to BP 138/89 mmHg. The average decrease in systolic blood pressure in the 3 respondents was 8.5 mmHg, while diastole decreased by an average of 5.8 mmHg. The suggestion for hypertension sufferers is that hospital staff can offer foot massage as a method to lower blood pressure to patients suffering from hypertension.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a long-term metabolic disorder caused by the body's insulin hormone which cannot be used properly to regulate blood sugar balance, resulting in hyperglycemia (Zakiudin et al., 2023). There are two factors that can affect a person's glucose levels, the first is endogenous factors such as insulin, glucagon, and cortisol which act as receptor systems in liver and muscle cells. The second factor is the amount and type of food consumed, which is an exogenous factor. Blood glucose levels are also influenced by a person's character (gender, family history of diabetes, and age), dietary factors (high energy, high carbohydrates, high fat, high protein, and low fiber), lack of physical activity, nutritional status, hypertension and knowledge about nutrition (Viera Valencia & Garcia Giraldo, 2019).

Unilateral and Bilateral Axillary Arches in Male and Female Cadavers
Authors:   Department of Biomedical Sciences, School of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of North Dakota, USA, Tessema Chernet Bahru
Published: September 2024

Among sixteen donors (32 axillae) dissected in our gross anatomy lab, axillary arch was incidentally observed in three cases (five axillae). In three cases, the axillary arch was observed in five axillae-bilateral in one male and one female donor, and unilateral in one male donor. In all the three cases, the five arches consisted of muscular and connective tissue (aponeurotic/tendinous) parts. The muscular parts originated as slips from the lateral borders of the latissimus dorsi muscles and their connective tissue parts ascended and crossed anterior to the axillary neurovascular bundles to attach to various non-osseus structures on the proximal aspects of the arms. This created a canal dorsal to the axillary arch (designated here as axillobrachial canal or ABC) through which the axillary neurovascular bundles ran to enter the proximal aspect of the arms. The presence of such variant fibromuscular slip can be a cause of neurovascular compression syndrome of the upper limb and may complicate surgical procedures in the axillary region. Therefore, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neurovascular compression syndromes of the upper limb and axillary mass to avoid misdiagnosis and unintended damage or injury causing complications.

2D/3D Expression Generation Using Advanced Learning Techniques and the Emotion Wheel
Authors: Ma Thi Chau , Dam Anh Duc , Dao Quang Hieu
Published: September 2024

Facial expression analysis is a critical component in numerous applications, ranging from human- computer interaction to digital character animation. Despite the availability of extensive datasets, most focus predominantly on basic emotions, limiting the expressiveness and applicability of models trained on them. This article introduces a novel approach to generating compound emotional expressions by leveraging the Emotion Wheel, a principle that captures the complex interrelations between basic emotions. Our method integrates the EMOCA (Emotion Driven Monocular Face Capture and Animation) [1] framework, which enhances 3D facial reconstruction by incorporating emotion recognition, stacking models [2, 54] with a sophisticated expression blending algorithm to synthesize nuanced 2D and 3D facial animations. Utilizing the VKIST dataset, which includes high-resolution facial images of Vietnamese individuals, we build a comprehensive database of emotion parameters. Through principal component analysis (PCA) and correlation-driven blending, our approach not only enhances the realism of generated facial expressions but also preserves the subtle nuances that are characteristic of human emotions. Experimental results demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms traditional linear interpolation techniques, producing more distinct and recognizable blended expressions. A user study further validates the naturalness and quality of the generated expressions, with average ratings indicating a strong preference for the proposed method over existing approaches. These findings suggest significant potential for improving emotional expressiveness in both static and dynamic digital character representations.

A News Recommendation Method for User Privacy Protection
Authors: Chen Yiqing
Published: September 2024

News recommendations play an important role in daily life, but there is a problem of privacy leakage. To address this problem, a news recommendation method for user privacy protection is proposed. It combines news recommendation with a federated learning framework to ensure accurate recommendations while protecting user privacy. To be specific, the method contains three key components: 1) It combines federated learning to ensure that user data is processed locally and not leaked to third parties, thus achieving privacy protection. 2) It fully considers the long-term and short-term interests of users and learns their short-term interests using the GRU model based on the item features of interaction, which provides a more comprehensive perspective on user modelling. 3) We design a score prediction method that fuses linear and nonlinear features to better capture the interaction between users and news and improve the accuracy of recommendation. The experimental validation on two public news datasets, Adressa and MIND, demonstrates that the method can still achieve efficient news recommendation without compromising user privacy.

Published: September 2024

In order to improve the accuracy, stability, and robustness of AGV positioning with the use of the Cartographer algorithm, this paper proposes a global positioning algorithm strategy that integrates the reflector coordinate points as reference points for the trilateral positioning algorithm with the cartographer. Firstly, the shortcomings of existing cartographers in pure positioning were introduced. Then, two commonly used positioning algorithms were elaborated, and they were fused using reflective plates and cartographer algorithms. Static and dynamic experiments were conducted in real environments. The two experiments verified that the trilateral positioning algorithm has smaller errors, stronger stability, and better accuracy than the triangular positioning algorithm.

Further, nilpotency is a structural property of fundamental importance which arises in many situations, for instance in linear algebra, we have nilpotent matrices and much more in other branches of mathematics. In this study, we will investigate, some elements of semigroups of partial one-to-one order-preserving transformations (denoted by ) and partial order-preserving transformations (denoted by ), and some basic properties of nilpotent transformations. We have studied certain properties of nilpotent elements in , symmetric inverse semigroup, where  is finite and infinite, certain properties of nilpotent elements in , descriptions of the elements of 〈N〉, where N is the set of nilpotents of  and we used the same letter N to denote that of , and used them to establish the following results, in this paper (that is, we have used the knowledge that we have acquired to establish the following results): - a partial ono-to-one order-preserving transformation , has from 1 to  fixed,  and there is an upper jump of length two(2) between  and , and lower jumps of length one(1) and one(1), immediately after , can be expressed as a product of three nilpotents. – a partial one-to-one order-preserving transformation , has from 1 to  fixed,  and there is an upper jump of length three (3) between  and  and lower jumps of length two (2) and one (1), immediately after , can be expressed as a product of fewer than three nilpotents. – a partial order-preserving transformation , has from 1 to  fixed, but  belongs to ,  and there is an upper jump of length two(2) between  and , and lower jumps of length two(2)  and one(1), immediately after , cannot be expressed as a product of fewer than three nilpotents. – a partial order-preserving transformation , has from 1 to  fixed, but  belongs to ,  and there is an upper jump of length three (3) between  and , and lower jumps of length three (3) and one (1), immediately after n-5, can be expressed as a product of fewer than three nilpotents. – a transformation , partial transformation semigroup, is not nilpotent if and only if the graph  of the transformation  has a loop, and - a transformation , partial one-to-one transformation semigroup, which has a nilpotent path and a permutation part is not nilpotent
Career Guide Expert System for Nigerian Secondary Schools Based on Howard Gardner Categorisation of Intelligence

Career Guide Expert System for Nigerian secondary schools is an applied research targeted at developing a web-based career guidance system for students transitioning from the Universal Basic Education (UBE) Scheme to Senior secondary school (SSS). The transitioning process requires students to choose among groups of subjects (Science, Art, or Commercial) to study in SSS which ideally requires the services of counsellors. However, there is a shortage of counsellors in schools. This research will significantly address the problem of shortage of professional counsellors and inefficient associated manual career guidance, which can negatively affect the career trajectory of students. Three parameters (Howard Gardner Intelligence Categorization, Academic performance and student aspirations) were used in determining which of the three alternatives (Science, Art, and Commercial) suits a student the best. The inference engine of the Expert System was implemented using a weighted sum multiple decision criteria model to determine which alternative suits a student the most based on the data generated from the quiz attempted by a student. The system was validated by a professional counsellor who subjected the system to a test with twenty samples of student data and certified that the system was accurate. Thus, if this system is incorporated into the Nigerian educational system, it will revolutionize the career guidance process, leading to better performance of students and future career satisfaction.

This research examines the impact of Nigeria’s monetary policy on her economic growth by developing a model that is able to investigate how monetary policy of the government has affected economic growth through the adoption of multi-variable regression analysis. GDP representing economic growth which was used as the dependent variable against the explanatory variables which is Monetary Policy Variables: money supply, exchange rate, interest rate, and inflation rate. The time series data is the market-controlled period covering 1960-2020. The study determined the relationship between monetary policy instruments and GDP, and it also determined the adequacy of the model. The study adopted a co-integration approach and also conducted a unit root test. The study showed that monetary policy variables included in the model has combined significant impact on GDP in Nigeria. In addition, the core finding of this study showed that exchange rate and money supply have positive and statistically significant relationship with GDP in Nigeria. However, inflation rate has negative impact on GDP and a non-statistically significant relationship with GDP, interest rate has positive and statistically insignificant relationship with GDP. The results from the study proved that monetary policy have a significant relationship with GDP. In conclusion, based on the outcome of the Study. The study recommended among others that the regulatory authority (CBN) is advised to reduce interest rates and increase money supply such that both loans and funds will be easily accessed by manufacturing/industrial outlets to enhance manufacturing output in the Nigeria economy.

Entre la disputa por el espacio y el conflicto urbano
Authors: Moreno Zúñiga Rebeca , Jurado Montelongo Mario Alberto
Published: September 2024

El centro metropolitano de Monterrey (CMM) en los últimos años ha sido el foco de la inversión inmobiliaria, que básicamente se ha capitalizado en las torres de usos múltiples, en tanto que el gobierno local, municipal y estatal han creado los marcos legales necesarios para que esta inversión se haya concretado. La presencia de esta inversión ha cambiado el panorama y ha develado diferentes concepciones del espacio, lo cual genera conflictos entre los antiguos y nuevos residentes, los inversionistas inmobiliarios, los funcionarios y los activistas, entre otros actores. En el contexto de las gramáticas metropolitanas existentes y emergentes, nuestro objetivo es analizar la disputa por el espacio que involucra a los diferentes actores que habitan o tienen intereses en el CMM. Para ello, hemos analizado el caso del proyecto inmobiliario Vía Zócalo, ubicado en el Barrio Antiguo, con el propósito de generar información valiosa que los agentes correspondientes puedan utilizar para conciliar las diversas prácticas en el espacio y generar políticas urbanas incluyentes.

Students' critical thinking abilities are very necessary to shape students' cognitive strengths. This research aims to determine the profile of students' critical thinking abilities in science learning. This type of research is exploratory descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The sample for this research consisted of 124 class VIII students at SMP Negeri 10 Tapung and data collection was carried out using the test method. The critical thinking ability test refers to indicators according to Ennis which consist of 8 indicators and the results are grouped into very high, high, medium, low and very low categories. The research results showed that 19% of students were in the very low category, 57% in the low category, 23% in the medium category, 1% in the high category, and there were no students in the high critical thinking ability category. Overall, students' critical thinking skills are in the low category with an average score of 31.50. Thus, for further research it is highly hoped that a method will be implemented to improve critical thinking skills.
