Comparative analysis of machine learning models for particle flow reconstruction
Authors: Wang Shoufu , Yang Zhexian , Li Yueyi , Huo Xinyuan , Yang Ruixiang
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Using the simulation data of different calorimeters, we investigate the use of machine learning and python algorithms for the simulation and reconstruction of particle flow energy in high-energy physics. We train models based on simulated pixel value image instead of common numerical data. We define two models that use different Regressor algorithms. Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) Regressor offer stable and accurate prediction under less affection situation. Convolutional Neutral Networks (CNN) Regressor provided better and stronger modeling and reconstruction ability; however, it could cause overfitting results in certain situations. Furthermore, we optimize our models with the use of PyTorch. These models can serve as fast method for particle flow reconstruction in future studies and experiments.
Impact of Pore Diameter on Heat Conduction Efficiency in Porous Media Based on Ansys
Authors: Liu Yanxing , Ou Yang
Published: November 2024

Abstract. To help advance the development of heat dissipation technologies, the research studies the effect of pore diameter on heat conduction within porous media. With the help of Ansys software, a cuboid with varying pore sizes is modelled to investigate its influence on effective thermal conductivity. Through analysing the data exported, an overall trend is derived: for a fixed number of nodes in a piece of porous material, the efficiency of heat conduction tends to be higher with the increase of pore sizes. The study is especially relevant for the design of radiators with porous plates, commonly used in cooling systems. Larger pores tend to facilitate more gas-phase conduction, which, when combined with solid-phase conduction, optimizes overall thermal conductivity. The results of the study can potentially advance the development of heat dissipation technologies.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. The paper will use the improved genetic algorithm that adds Gaussian perturbation based on the standard deviation of the population fitness and increases the variance probability operation to optimize the traditional genetic algorithm, and after iterating until the optimal scheduling strategy is found, we combine this algorithm with a mathematical model, and adopt a variety of variations to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. Among them, we take into account the customer flow, area of the store, employee work preference and other related factors to maximize its adaptability. We use real store employee data for simulation example experimental evidence, and compared with other algorithms, the results show that the study of the scheduling optimization ideas and algorithms are practical and feasible.

Authors: Chen Yuchen
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Recent advances in neuro-technology have been fast-pacing. Brain-computer interface (BCI), a well-known neuro-technology, has received significant attentions in recent decades. The most well-developed applications of BCI are for motor controlling, which provide users the chances to control protheses via cortical implants. However, the applications of BCI could certainly be explored beyond this, as it has gained increasing importance in oncological settings. Therefore, this paper would explore the oncology-based BCI systems in detail. It would firstly introduce the basic components of BCI and summarise how BCI could be applied beyond motor control settings to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with cancer, such as assisting the diagnostics, reducing the side effects from cancer therapies and enabling neurorehabilitation. It would also compare the advantages of BCI against current commonly used approaches or medications and discuss some physical & psychological, technical and ethical issues related to BCI-based systems, which should be carefully monitored and minimised by future studies. In the end, this article would briefly summarise the overall content mentioned and suggest some future directions for the oncology-based BCI developments.

Published: November 2024

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium that can live in the human stomach and is one of the most common pathogens worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between H. pylori infection and risk factors and life style habits, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, alcohol ingestion, and smoking. The study was conducted in two centers in Gharyan, Libya (private clinics). The case study took place over three months from July to September 2024 and utilized a validated questionnaire. All participants had confirmed H. pylori infections. A total of 50 cases with positive H. pylori infections were included in this study. They completed the questionnaire and data was analyzed using simple statistics. The questionnaire consisted of three parts. The prevalence of H. pylori infection was higher in females than males in this study. The findings suggested that certain habits, such as perceived stress, frequency of physical activity per week, and duration of physical activity, may influence the presence of H. pylori infection. Additionally, adults with below-normal levels of vitamin D had a higher risk of H. pylori infection.
Beyond the Attic in Jane Eyre: Jane and Bertha as Feminist Archetypes
Authors: Mansour Ashraf Waleed
Published: November 2024

This article discusses two models of women in the Victorian era by analyzing Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre from a feminist perspective. The researcher used two contrasting characters, Jane and Bertha, to criticize the patriarchal system and the tragic female submission. The novel presented Jane as a model of a rebellious woman who defied traditional gender roles. As for Bertha, she was used to show the beginning and tragic end of submission and loss of identity under patriarchal control. The researcher relied on some feminist theories to explain some concepts such as the concept of women’s autonomy, the idea of women’s marginalization, and the concept of oppressive structures. Through the contrast between the two characters, the article revealed the importance of women’s independence and warned against their submission to patriarchal oppression.

Published: November 2024

Objective To evaluate the impact of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) compared to iron sucrose (ISC) in perimenopausal women with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and anemia.Methods This prospective, open-label, randomized controlled trial enrolled perimenopausal women (40-50 years) with HMB and hemoglobin levels between 6-10 g/dL, intolerant or non-compliant to oral iron therapy. The study compared FCM and ISC by assessing hematological parameters, including hemoglobin, ferritin, and iron levels, over a 12-week period. The patients were followed up at 3, 6, and 12 weeks after initiation. The adverse effects were also evaluated.Results The study included 60 perimenopausal women, with 30 in each group. The baseline patient characteristics were comparable. FCM demonstrated a statistically significant higher mean increase in hemoglobin (4.97 g/dL) than ISC (4.63 g/dL) over 12 weeks. The proportion of patients achieving correction of anemia (hemoglobin ≥12 g/dL) was higher in the FCM group (75.9% vs. 65.5%). Serum ferritin levels were significantly higher in the FCM group after 3 weeks. Adverse effects were minimal and comparable between the groups. Although the direct cost of FCM is high, its ability to be administered in larger doses may result in lower total costs.Conclusion In perimenopausal women with heavy menstrual bleeding and iron deficiency anemia, FCM and ISC show comparable efficacy in increasing hemoglobin levels with similar side effect profiles. This study highlights the potential benefits of FCM and calls for further exploration of these therapies in diverse patient populations.

Published: November 2024

Natural dyes are very useful for dyeing textile fibre. Natural dyes have been used for long back. In the Mughal regime, it was found that natural dyes were used to dye textile materials. Starting from the Muslin to the household textiles the use of natural dyes was significant. For more than a hundred years, it was evident that synthetic dyes become popular for dyeing textile material. Natural dyes for jamdani sarees are not easily available in Bangladesh. These dyes are imported from outside of Bangladesh and for this reason, this type of dyes is not available in the local market. But at the same time, the risk of using synthetic dyes is high for human health because of cause different health hazards like breathing problems, skin diseases and skin cancer. Compared to synthetic dyes natural dyes are not easily available and they are costly at the same time. The unavailability of natural dyes made the use of synthetic dyes more popular among the manufacturers of textile products. Though natural dyes are sustainable, due to unavailability and high cost it is hindering the acceptance to use natural dyes. In this study, it was evident that natural dyes normally have significant eco-friendly properties especially the absence of banned amines compared to synthetic dyes. It was found that synthetic dyes have banned amines.
El partido judicial: una división «infravalorada» con capacidad para generar identidades territoriales colectivas. El ejemplo de Galicia
Authors: Otero Varela Alejandro
Published: November 2024

Los partidos judiciales, al igual que las provincias y los municipios, son fruto de la instauración del Estado liberal español en las primeras décadas del siglo XIX. Su objetivo original era la impartición de justicia, pero rápidamente asumieron otras funciones y servicios que los reforzaron. Pese a no convertirse en entes locales, fueron de gran importancia para la Administración pública a la hora de fijar su estructura territorial. Este trabajo, a través de un análisis geohistórico, busca desarrollar la «historia» de la división judicial de Galicia. Los resultados avanzan que su larga estabilidad en el tiempo vino a consolidarlos en el imaginario colectivo de la población. En particular, la autoridad de los partidos judiciales se puede comprobar en la enorme influencia que ejerce sobre la división comarcal posterior, tal como este estudio demuestra para el caso gallego.

Exploring Rupture of Metanarratives, Historiographic Metafiction and Hyperreality in The Diary of a Social Butterfly
Authors: Anwar Sajid , Khattak Zahir Jung , Ahmad Gulzar
Published: November 2024

Pakistani Anglophone writers not only connect local and international readerships but also provide valuable perspectives on the intricacies and complexities of Pakistani life and society, playing a significant role in enriching the vibrant and diverse literary landscape. The contemporary grand narratives of religion, science, nationalism, caste, gender, colonialism, knowledge, justice, and culture are all called into question by postmodern fiction. The postmodern condition idea put forward by Lyotard in his report titled The Postmodern Condition is contextualized in this study. According to Lyotard, “the term postmodern designates the state of our culture following the transformations which have changed the rules of science, literature, and the arts since the end of the nineteenth century” (Lyotard, 1984, p.7). He expresses his incertitude about the hegemony of metanarratives by pointing out that there are many viable interpretations rather than a single, definitive one. The selected novel is also explored by employing the postmodern historiographic metafictional technique developed by Linda Hutcheon. Additionally, the selected novel is examined using Baudrillard's idea of hyper-reality. According to Baudrillard's (1994) notion of hyper-reality, reality has been supplanted by images. The current research study explores literary postmodernism that is further divided into three categories, i.e., historiographic metafiction, disbelief towards metanarratives, and hyper-reality in the selected novel The Diary of a Social Butterfly. The study is grounded in the theoretical framework of postmodernism, and the research approach chosen for the current study is textual analysis.

Published: November 2024

Este artigo explora a relevância do gerenciamento de riscos ocupacionais no contexto da nova NR-1, que, desde 2022, exige das empresas brasileiras a identificação, avaliação e mitigação de riscos no ambiente de trabalho. A questão central investigada é: como a matriz de risco pode ser aplicada como ferramenta na elaboração do Gerenciamento de Risco Ocupacional- GRO? O objetivo é utilizar a matriz de risco como uma ferramenta na elaboração do gerenciamento do risco ocupacional, visando identificar, avaliar e mitigar riscos no ambiente de trabalho, contribuindo para melhoria da segurança e saúde dos colaboradores e a conformidade com normas regulamentadoras.       A metodologia adotada é qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, com revisão de literatura e análise documental. Foram consultadas bases como SciELO, Periódicos CAPES e revistas técnicas em segurança do trabalho para identificar artigos publicados entre 2015 e 2024, abrangendo setores como manufatura, construção civil, hospitalar, indústria química e setor energético. A análise reforça que a matriz de risco é uma ferramenta eficaz na priorização de ações corretivas e permite uma gestão mais sistemática da segurança ocupacional, reduzindo incidentes e otimizando os recursos destinados ao controle de riscos. Observou-se, pelos exemplos descritos pelos autores, que a matriz de risco oferece uma abordagem robusta para o gerenciamento de riscos ocupacionais, possibilitando a identificação precisa de riscos críticos e a implementação de medidas de controle eficazes. Evidenciou-se que a escolha da matriz de risco não segue um padrão definido, ela depende das características da empresa ou organização e dos tipos de riscos presentes.

Por fim, este estudo aborda a evolução das políticas públicas, os desafios da educação integrada e as perspectivas com o novo ensino médio, sem esquecer da relevância social de um curso integrado ao ensino médio, no combate à desigualdade social com respeito à igualdade de direitos, reforçando seu papel estratégico na consolidação do desenvolvimento sustentável e na redução da pobreza no Brasil.
Consumerism intoxication: an introduction to kitsch
Authors: Ahlert Jacqueline
Published: November 2024

Among conventions and simulacrums, kitsch’s pseudo-art embodies the feeling of bringing beauty to daily life, sustained by an hedonistic system of immediate pleasure. To reach a broad audience, interested in this experience, the kitsch product consisted of insignia of alienation, and that its ‘globalizor’ character seeks generic taste, formed by consuming masses of similar products. The “universal taste” representation has become possible due to reference construction of ‘easy beauty’, and simple to ‘’digest’ aesthetics and, therefore, empty in sense, originality, and, in a wide aspect, historicity. The text presents a historical introduction to domestic insertion of kitsch products, questioning its simulacrum’s character in sociocultural practices and representation dynamics.

Village funds play a crucial role in local development, especially in rural areas often marginalized in national development. However, a case study in South Aceh Regency highlights misuse of these funds through fictitious projects and price manipulation, harming public finances and hindering local economic growth. The study surveyed the entire population of 260 villages in South Aceh Regency. Using a formula considering 28 variable indicators and 4 research dimensions, a minimum sample size of 112 respondents was determined. The sample included Village Officials, Finance Section Heads, Development Section Heads, and Tuha Peut (village elders), and was increased to 120 respondents to ensure representativeness and reliability. Data analysis, conducted using Smart PLS software with the SEM model. The results indicate significant positive relationships between Fraud Prevention and The Welfare of Society p value 0.002, as well as between Development Planning and Human Resources p Value 0.006. These findings suggest that effective fraud prevention measures and robust development planning efforts contribute to enhancing overall well-being and human resource capacity in rural communities. They emphasize the importance of implementing strategies addressing financial integrity and socio-economic development concurrently to drive sustainable progress. Conversely, hypotheses H2, H3, and H5 are not supported by the analysis, indicating no significant relationships between Fraud Prevention and Human Resources p value 0.919, Development Planning and The Welfare of Society p value 0.458, as well as Human Resources and The Welfare of Society p value 0.637.

The shipping industry contributes more than 95% of global trade and plays an important role in global economic growth. Besides its importance, seafaring is also known as a stressful occupation. They are exposed to more stressful work lives, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and its impacts prolong the endemic phase. However, minimal attention has been paid to surveying the level of work stress, particularly among Malaysian seafarers. This cross-sectional study has surveyed work stress among 390 Malaysian seafarers using nonproportionate random sampling. Online questionnaires in Google Forms with an appended consent form were distributed to the respondents by an appointed representative. The online questionnaire comprised demographics and the Malay version of the Job Stress Scale (JSS). Data was collected in approximately four weeks and analysed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the level of work stress among seafarers was at a moderate level overall and for each subscale. This study contributes to more understanding about stress especially work stress among seafarers and how COVID-19 impacts their level of work stress. Further study is highly recommended to confirm its relationship with other related factors.

Scabies, caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, is a significant global health issue, especially in tropical and subtropical areas. This study examines factors affecting scabies incidents at Pondok Pesantren X at Karimun Regency, Indonesia, in 2023. Data from 106 participants, including 37 scabies cases, were analyzed using a cross-sectional design and quantitative analysis. The results indicated a significant relationship between scabies and knowledge, attitudes, practices, and perceptions of humidity. Lower knowledge, attitudes, and practices increased the risk of scabies, as did perceptions of humidity. Effective health post-management at the boarding school also significantly influenced the incidence of scabies. These findings highlight the need for interventions to improve knowledge, attitudes, practices, and environmental conditions to prevent better and manage scabies. There is a clear link between knowledge, attitudes, practices, humidity perceptions, Health Post management, and the occurrence of scabies. To address scabies among students at Pondok Pesantren X, targeted interventions are essential, including education on prevention, good hygiene practices, and timely provision of medical help. Maintaining optimal room humidity and improving health management are critical. Collaboration with local health authorities and ongoing monitoring and evaluation is recommended for effective implementation. Islamic boarding schools can reduce scabies incidents and enhance students’ well-being by fostering partnerships and collective action.

Introduction: Surgical resection remains a primary treatment for liver diseases, requiring precise preoperative planning due to the liver's complex anatomy. Traditional imaging techniques like CT and MRI provide essential information but have limitations in spatial visualization. The emergence of 3D-printed liver models (3DPLMs) offers a novel approach to improving surgical planning and outcomes. Objective: This systematic review critically evaluates the outcomes of 3D printing assisted surgical planning versus traditional methods in complex liver resections. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, yielding 11 studies that met inclusion criteria. Data extraction focused on surgical planning accuracy, strategy modification, outcomes, and educational value. Results: 3DPLMs improved surgical planning accuracy, with studies showing significant changes in surgical strategies in 16.7% to 68% of cases. Enhanced tumor detection rates, particularly for lesions ≤10 mm, were observed, improving pathological matching and staging. While 3DPLMs did not consistently reduce operative time or complications, they facilitated more precise resection proposals. Educationally, 3DPLMs increased satisfaction, comprehension, and surgical planning skills among trainees, outperforming traditional and virtual methods. Conclusion: 3DPLMs enhance surgical planning accuracy, modify strategies, and improve educational outcomes in complex liver resections. Despite mixed impacts on intraoperative outcomes, their utility in preoperative planning and education is evident, warranting further exploration.

Introduction: menopause causes clinical symptoms that significantly impact women’s quality of life. Phytoestrogens, such as soy isoflavones, have been studied as treatment for climacteric syndrome, showing improvements in vasomotor and psychological symptoms.Objective: to determine the impact of the use of phytoestrogens (soy isoflavones) on the quality of life of women with perimenopause or postmenopause at Family Medicine Unit No. 55 of the Mexican Social Security Institute in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico. Method: a randomized clinical trial was conducted with 44 women aged 45 to 60 with climacteric symptoms. Participants were assigned to an experimental group (EG), which received 50 mg of soy isoflavones every 24 hours, and a control group (CG), which received a placebo for 12 weeks. The Menopause Rating Scale was applied before and after the intervention to evaluate somatic, psychological, and urogenital symptoms. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Results: supplementation with soy isoflavones in the EG showed significant improvements in overall quality of life (Cohen d = 1,54), as well as in the somatic (d = 1,52) and psychological (d = 1,10) subscales, indicating a large effect (d > 0,80). However, the urogenital dimension showed no significant effect (d = 0). The CG experienced a significant deterioration in these subscales. Conclusions: soy isoflavones significantly improved the quality of life of women in perimenopause and postmenopause in the somatic and psychological dimensions, showing a large effect. No changes were observed in the urogenital dimension
