POLÍTICA DE EDUCAÇÃO PARA ADOLESCENTES EM PRIVAÇÃO DE LIBERDADE: UMA REFLEXÃO SOBRE O SISTEMA SOCIOEDUCATIVO DE ANGOLA
Authors: Honorato Rafael Ferreira de Souza , Julião António Luís
Published: February 2025

A delinquência juvenil em Angola, agravada por fatores como desigualdades sociais, desemprego e a falta de oportunidades, revela uma problemática social que reflecte a negação de direitos fundamentais por parte do Estado e da sociedade. Neste contexto, no presente texto, procura-se reflectir sobre a educação para adolescentes em conflito com a lei, em situação de privação de liberdade em Angola. Dada a relevância da análise em foco e, para o cumprimento do objectivo proposto, em atenção à abordagem qualitativa, foram utilizados métodos como analítico-sintético-crítico, consulta bibliográfica e análise da legislação relacionada com a temática. Discute-se que apesar de alguns avanços alcançados no quadro normativo nacional e tendo Angola ratificado várias Convenções Internacionais, ainda existem desafios em direcção à garantia dos direitos, no que se refere à protecção social dos adolescentes, às condições infra-estruturais, aos recursos humanos especializados e à robustez científica dos métodos socioeducativos existentes que poderiam contribuir significativamente para a garantia do direito à Educação, diminuindo a reincidência delitiva entre os adolescente. Espera-se que se alargue a reflexão quanto ao carácter preventivo e interventivo das medidas socioeducativas para que os adolescentes em conflito com a lei tenham seus direitos fundamentais garantidos.

Authors: Fernandes Maria Nilvane Fernandes , Honorato Rafael Ferreira de Souza , Rodrigues Ana Cláudia da Silva
Published: February 2025

Este dossiê aborda os desafios e as possibilidades das políticas educacionais voltadas a adolescentes responsabilizados por atos infracionais. Organizado pelos professores Maria Nilvane Fernandes (PPGE/UFAM), Rafael Ferreira de Souza Honorato (PROFEI/UEPB) e Ana Cláudia da Silva Rodrigues (PPGE/UFPB), reuni estudos e pesquisas que destacam a educação como pilar essencial no Sistema Nacional de Atendimento Socioeducativo (SINASE). Os textos analisam como a articulação entre as secretarias de educação e os órgãos gestores das medidas socioeducativas pode assegurar a inserção escolar e promover a reconstrução de trajetórias de vida em contextos de vulnerabilidade social. Reconhece-se que aprimorar a educação nesse âmbito é complexo, pois envolve relações de poder, discursos e diferenças, exigindo abordagens que considerem aspectos políticos, culturais e históricos. Além disso, as análises examinam os marcos legais, como a Lei nº 12.594/2012, a Resolução nº 119/2006 do CONANDA e a Resolução nº 3/2016 do CNE/CEB, que fundamentam o direito à educação, e discutem os modelos educacionais existentes, as práticas de gestão escolar e os programas de meio aberto. Assim, problematiza práticas pedagógicas voltadas à inclusão, destacando a necessidade de reconhecer a singularidade dos adolescentes e enfrentar os desafios enfrentados por educadores. Em um campo marcado pela desigualdade, os textos tensionam a ideia de inclusão, convidando a pensar a educação como um espaço de invenção e resistência, onde práticas cotidianas podem desestabilizar hierarquias e abrir caminhos para modos de existência mais plurais e justos.

Authors: Lee Jansen , Lubis Andri Maruli Tua , Aminata Iman Widya , Prasetia Renaldi
Published: February 2025

Background. Accurate pathoanatomic diagnosis of the cause of shoulder pain cannot rely solely on clinical tests. Similarly, diagnosis based on imaging results alone is not reliable due to the high prevalence of asymptomatic pathology. This study aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of clinical testing with lidocaine injection and ultrasonography as a screening method for detecting supraspinatus disorders compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods. Patients with supraspinatus-related shoulder pain were collected from outpatient clinics. Clinical tests, ultrasonography, and subacromial lidocaine injections were performed, with tests repeated post-injection. The results were confirmed with MRI findings.Results. Of 78 patients, the average age was 58±6 years, with 76.9% being normal-weight females. Moderate shoulder pain was reported by 75.6% of participants, predominantly on the dominant right side (84.6%), with a significant correlation (P<0.05). The Hawkins-Kennedy test (0.73) and Neer sign (0.68) had the best sensitivity, while the drop arm test (0.93) showed the highest specificity for tendon pathology. For full-thickness tears, the Hawkins-Kennedy and empty can test (0.76) had the best sensitivity, and the drop arm test (0.82) had the best specificity. Lidocaine injection reduced sensitivity but increased specificity, with the drop arm test reaching 0.96. Supraspinatus ultrasonography was over 90% accurate compared with MRI, with a kappa value above 0.7.Conclusions. Subacromial lidocaine injection reduces sensitivity but increases the specificity of clinical tests for supraspinatus tendon disorders. Ultrasonography can be used as a screening tool for supraspinatus tendon abnormalities.Level of evidence: IV.

Authors: Bayraktar Yeşim Şerife
Published: February 2025

Background/Aims: Percutaneous Tracheostomy (PT) is defined as early or late PT according to the time from the patient's intubation to the day of PT procedure. We aimed to evaluate the effects of early and late tracheostomy timing on the duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of intensive care unit stay, length of hospital stay, complications and mortality.
Methods: The files and hospital records of critically ill patients who underwent tracheostomy during their treatment in the Anesthesiology and Reanimation Intensive Care Unit (ICU) between March 1, 2023 and May 31, 2024 were retrospectively evaluated. Patients in whom tracheostomy was performed on the 10th day of intubation and before the 10th day were grouped as early tracheostomy, and patients in whom tracheostomy was performed after the 10th day were grouped as late tracheostomy.
Results: The study included 90 patients. The early tracheostomy group(n=45) was significantly younger than the late tracheostomy group (n=45). The mean age of the early tracheostomy group was 62.42 ± 16.78, while that of the late tracheostomy group was 69.58 ± 16.20], (p=.043). The median ICU length of stay was 32 days (range: 6 – 270 days) in the early tracheotomy group and 45 days (range: 16 – 270 days) in the late tracheotomy group; and the ICU length of stay in the early tracheotomy group was significantly shorter than the late tracheotomy group (p=.025). Besides, the number of mechanical ventilation time was significantly greater in patients to the late tracheotomy group compared with patients to the early tracheotomy group (32 days [range: 6 – 230 days] vs. 40 days [range: 16 – 265 days], p=.032).
Conclusions: Early tracheostomy procedure is important and beneficial for the treatment of elderly intensive care patients because it reduces the duration of ICU stay and reduces the duration of mechanical ventilation.

Published: February 2025

Maize is affected by soil acidity and nutritional limitations. An experiment was developed with the aim of evaluating the growth of maize in a P under different rates of soil corrective combined with different sources and application rates of phosphorus. Treatments consisted of sources of phosphorus triple superphosphate (TSP) and Arad natural phosphate (ANP) in four application rates of P and three levels of soil acidity. A randomized block experimental design was used with treatments in a factorial arrangement. The trial was conducted in greenhouse conditions in two subsequent growing periods. The maize was harvested, and the shoot dry matter weight, the relative dry matter weight, and the agronomic efficiency index were evaluated. ANP and TSP had a positive effect on the growth of maize plants grown in acid soil. The efficiency of ANP significantly declined when the value of V% of the soil was 70% and at pH in water higher than 6. TSP was superior to ANP at the different P application rates and soil acidity.

Research on Bench Dragon Motion and Collision Risk Based on Numerical Simulation
Authors: Wei Zhicong
Published: February 2025

‘The Bench Dragon’, a traditional folk activity in the Heluo area, is widely present in the annual grand activities of various provinces and cities in southern China. Its winding form follows the trajectory of the helix equation. Although the winding form seems simple, it requires precise control of the speed and position of each handle to achieve coordinated and beautiful complex movement. Herein, from the perspective of establishing a polar coordinate system and helix equation, this study analyzes the relationship between the position of each handle and the speed of the bench dragon and then analyzes the results in different models. At the same time, this study further examines the limit position of disc entry without collision by the ergodic method when the time is 405.757s. Finally, it was found that the model of the research system is still accurate by adding Gaussian noise which proves that this model can be used in practical applications and has the significance of popularization.

Published: February 2025

This work seeks to investigate the effects of SO2 and polyphenol on acetaldehyde content in wine oxidation catalyzed by metal ions and to describe the changes in chemical components related to this process. Wine, containing different levels of polyphenol, was added with SO2 and copper iron ions respectively. O2 and acetaldehyde were monitored periodically; SO2, color, and polyphenol were determined after each micro-oxygenation (MOx) treatment cycle. The content of SO2 in bottling is an important factor in the acetaldehyde compound profile, the accumulation of acetaldehyde and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in sulfur-containing wines are both higher than those in non-sulfur wines. Copper and iron ions did not show an obvious catalytic impact as expected.

Hematological parameters, including white blood cells (WBCs), haemoglobin (HB), hematocrit (HCT), and platelet (PLT) levels, play a crucial role in assessing overall health and disease conditions. Understanding their relationships with various influencing factors is essential for refining diagnostic and prognostic evaluations. Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationships between various haematological parameters, including white blood cells (WBCs), haemoglobin (HB), hematocrit (HCT), and platelet (PLT) levels, and their respective influencing factors. The correlation coefficients (r-values) and p-values were analyzed to determine the strength and statistical significance of these associations. Methods: A correlation analysis was conducted on the haematological parameters. The R-values were calculated to assess the strength and direction of relationships, while the p-values determined the statistical significance. The parameters studied included WBC, HB, HCT, and PLT. The duration of the study was from April 2024 to September 2024. Results: - WBC analysis yielded an R-value of 0.05 and a p-value of 0.034, indicating a positive correlation with statistical significance.- HB analysis showed an r-value of -0.055 and a p-value of 0.604, reflecting a negative correlation that was not statistically significant. - HCT analysis that was also not statistically significant. - PLT analysis produced an R-value of 0.037 and a p-value of 0.727, indicating a negative correlation that was also not statistically significant. Conclusion: The analysis revealed that while the WBCs and AGE showed a statistically significant positive correlation, the other parameters—HB, HCT, and PLT—did not exhibit statistically significant correlations with the variables studied. These findings suggest that the factors investigated have minimal or no meaningful impact on the haematological parameters, warranting further research to identify more significant associations.
Microarthropods communities as indicators of soil quality in a Mediterranean periurban forest using the QBS-ar index
Authors: Rodríguez-Pajares Cristina , Muñoz-Adalia E. Jordán , Fernández-Fernández Mercedes
Published: February 2025

Aim of study: The objective of this study was to evaluate the soil quality of a Mediterranean periurban forest landscape in Palencia (Northern Spain) using the Soil Biological Quality-arthropod index (QBS-ar index).
Area of study: Palencia (Northern Spain), UTM 30N coordinates: X: 370265, Y: 4646195), 865 m.a.s.l.
Material and methods: Three plots were established in different managed biotopes: secondary grassland, shrubland and young Mediterranean oak forest in Palencia. These plots were characterized based on stand and soil composition. In each plot, five soil samples (three undisturbed and one disturbed for measuring soil parameters, and another disturbed for microarthropod identification) were collected following a systematic sampling. Microarthropods from the disturbed samples were extracted using Berlese-Tüllgren devices and taxonomically identified. Various indicators were assessed with this samples: QBS-ar index (reflecting soil quality based on the soil microarthropod community), observed taxonomic richness (Sobs), Shannon’s diversity index (Hsw), Pielou’s evenness index (Ep), dominance, and IndVal (specificity- fidelity). Soil parameters were analysed in situ: surface stoniness (SuS), leaf litter weight (Lw), and in the laboratory with the following parameters: soil humidity (Hu), bulk density (Bd), real density (Rd), porosity (P), sample stoniness (SoS), percentage of litter (Lc), soil texture (T), and organic matter (OM). The main variables that caused variations in these indicators by biotope were identified through a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and analysed using generalized linear models (GLMs).
Main results: Soil microarthropods collected revealed 14 major taxa; mites (Acari) were the most abundant (44%), followed by hymenopterans (34%) and springtails (Collembola) (15%), with the rest underrepresented (< 2%). The IndVal index showed ants as indicators of the secondary grassland and shrubland. With respect to soil characteristics Lc, Hu, P, and OM, were notably higher in the forest. The analyses showed no significant differences between biotopes for the QBS-ar, Sobs and Hsw indices. The mean of the QBS-ar index was 63.88, that of Sobs was 5.44, and that of Hsw was 1.07. In all cases, p-values were > 0.28, indicating that there were no relevant variations between biotopes. However, the evenness indicator (Ep), with an average of 0.66, was significantly higher in the shrublands. In addition, modelling showed higher evenness as understory was more developed (p-value < 0.01).
Research highlights: The QBS-ar index increased as the woody plant community develops, soil community evenness was higher by shrub height, therefore understory could play a protective/facilitation role for soil arthropofauna. Likewise, although the biological communities change according to soil characteristics, the diversity and abundance were not influenced by the soil characteristics.

Authors: De Oliveira Neto Wilson
Published: February 2025

a Segunda Guerra Mundial é uma referência importante na história do século XX, sendo evocada pela memória e representada no patrimônio histórico e na historiografia. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o cotidiano da cidade de Joinville durante a participação do Brasil na Segunda Guerra Mundial, entre 1942 e 1945. Documentos oficiais, jornais, cartas, fontes orais, fotografias e bibliografias foram consultados. A metodologia consistiu na crítica e no cruzamento das informações obtidas na pesquisa. Embora predomine na memória social joinvilense reminiscências de um tempo de guerra marcado pela proibição do uso da língua alemã, pelo recrudescimento das medidas de nacionalização e pela perseguição da comunidade teuto-brasileira local, os reflexos da Segunda Guerra Mundial em Joinville e municípios vizinhos foram mais diversificados e envolveram diversas ações de mobilização da sociedade civil para o estado de guerra e suas contingências, bem como de introdução de um regime de comunicação de imprensa voltado para a causa aliada, tendo na guarnição local do Exército Brasileiro e na imprensa seus principais meios de veiculação. Ao mesmo tempo, ocorreu a convocação de cidadãos locais para servirem nas patrulhas das praias do litoral norte de Santa Catarina e na Força Expedicionária Brasileira (FEB), durante a participação do Brasil na Campanha da Itália (1944-1945).

Published: February 2025

A proposta deste artigo é pensar a publicação da obra de Paul Ricoeur, História e Verdade, em 1955, como ponto de observação das tensões que se passavam na universidade francesa desse contexto. A hipótese é que o debate no qual História e Verdade se insere marca não apenas uma mudança disciplinar no cenário francês, com a consagração de uma abordagem centralizada na pergunta do presente histórico, mas, sobretudo, uma alteração das hierarquias disciplinares que respondem, no limite, à um deslocamento geopolítico: a saber, a transformação dos EUA em pólo dominante não apenas dos debates sobre a história mas, sobretudo, sobre as virtudes epistêmicas que configurariam seus praticantes exemplares. Paul Ricoeur, assim, aparece no argumento deste artigo não apenas como debatedor, mas como exemplar de um tipo de atitude intelectual, codificada a partir da tradição erudita do imaginário acadêmico francês. Para isso, apresentamos o contexto de publicação de história e verdade. Em seguida, debatemos alguns de seus argumentos a partir dos debates disciplinares dos anos 1950 e 1960. O terceiro movimento posiciona a trajetória de Ricoeur nesse movimento mais amplo em direção aos EUA. Finalmente, concluímos com uma possibilidade de pensar sua contribuição para um debate sobre história e ética, tal como se apresenta para os historiadores do século XXI.

O trabalho tem por objetivo reconstituir conjecturalmente a conformação do termo da vila de São Carlos (atual cidade de Campinas-SP), destacando as ações de famílias e indivíduos no desenvolvimento econômico da localidade, ligado à produção de cana-de-açúcar no final do século XVIII e início do XIX. Parte-se da hipótese de que a análise das estratégias de instalação de engenhos, das concessões de terras e da identificação desses indivíduos, possibilita desvelar os limites do termo da vila e os arranjos fundiários. Foi desenvolvida uma metodologia que propõe a espacialização de informações coletadas a partir da avaliação crítica de duas séries documentais: o Tombamento de Bens Rústicos, elaborado para a vila de São Carlos em 1818 e as listas nominativas de habitantes produzidas entre 1797 e 1817. Os resultados culminam na elaboração de hipóteses espaciais sobre território da vila de São Carlos nas primeiras décadas do século XIX.
Prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus and HIV among Libyans and Expatriates (Foreigners) in the City of Zawia, Libya
Authors: Mabroukah Khalleefah
Published: February 2025

Libya has the longest coastline in the Mediterranean basin, which increases the risk of the spread of hepatitis C virus and AIDS. This is a public health problem that affects most of the world's population, including Libya, as the hepatitis C virus is considered the leading cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer worldwide. HIV/AIDS is a disease that puts the infected person at risk and therefore death. Liver cancer is not the most common cause of death, but it is the second most common cause of death worldwide. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the prevalence of hepatitis C and HIV among Libyans and foreigners arriving in Libya. The study was conducted in 2023 on Libyans and expatriates (foreigners) in the city of Zawia in the reference laboratory. Samples were collected, then 5 ml of the patient's blood was taken and placed in a centrifuge to separate the serum, and 50 microns of it were transferred to the test strip using the RABID method. ELISA was also used. The modes of transmission of the hepatitis C virus and human immunodeficiency virus (AIDS) are blood and drug use. The prevalence rate of hepatitis C virus among Libyans was 0.016%, and among men, it was 51.21% higher than among women. The age group of 21 to 30 years was also the most prevalent. The prevalence rate of HIV was 0.04%, and among men, it was 63.63%. The age group of 31 to 40 years was the most prevalent, with a higher prevalence rate than among women. As for Libyans who underwent the test for a specific purpose, the majority of them did so because of marriage, a rate of 56.09%. Among expatriates (foreigners), the prevalence rate of hepatitis C was 0.05%. Its rate among men was higher than among women, at 86.66%. The age group of 21 to 30 years was the most prevalent. As for HIV, it was 0.06%, and in the age group of 10 to 20 years, its rate among men was 100%. Most of the samples were among expatriates, most of them for treatment purposes, at 53.33%. Regarding people infected with the hepatitis C virus from different countries, the majority of those infected came from Egypt, 60%, while those infected with HIV came from Nigeria, 50%. The hepatitis C virus is a serious disease that is transmitted through blood. As arrivals from most African countries or other countries are high, it is because the region is known for the spread of hepatitis C virus. The study showed that the prevalence of hepatitis C is 0.50%, and the incidence of HIV/AIDS is 0.06%, both among men.

ENHANCING ADAPTIVE CYBERSECURITY RISK MANAGEMENT THROUGH AI-DRIVEN THREAT DETECTION
Authors: Gbenga Femi Asere , Medugu Madu
Published: February 2025

Adaptive cybersecurity risk management is a dynamic approach to addressing evolving security threats, and artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in enhancing its effectiveness. This paper explores how AI-driven threat detection can strengthen adaptive cybersecurity frameworks by enabling faster, more accurate identification and response to emerging risks. By leveraging machine learning, neural networks, and predictive analytics, AI systems can continuously monitor network environments, detect anomalies, and predict potential vulnerabilities before they are exploited. These AI technologies improve threat detection accuracy, reducing false positives and enabling real-time decision-making. Additionally, AI can automate incident response processes, allowing organizations to adapt to new threats with minimal human intervention. This results in a more proactive, agile cybersecurity posture that can keep pace with the constantly changing threat landscape. The integration of AI not only enhances the efficiency of existing risk management systems but also empowers organizations to make data-driven decisions and allocate resources more effectively. By optimizing threat detection and response capabilities, AI-driven solutions contribute to a more resilient, adaptive cybersecurity infrastructure.
The lucid dream of achieving equitable water distribution in India: A critique
Authors: Kulkarni Tanay
Published: February 2025

This critique examines the structural barriers to equitable water distribution in India. Despite major river systems and significant monsoonal rainfall, the country suffers from chronic shortages in urban and rural areas. Aging infrastructure, fragmented governance, and the unregulated exploitation of groundwater contribute to persistent inequities, while privatization attempts have largely failed to improve access for marginalized communities. Meanwhile, environmental pressures—from deforestation to climate variability—degrade watershed ecosystems and intensify regional disparities. The article highlights the urban-rural divide, policy misalignments, and corruption as factors reinforcing this uneven distribution. It proposes the adoption of advanced technologies, integrated water management, and strengthened institutions as potential pathways toward practical, inclusive, and sustainable solutions. However, bridging the gaps demands significant political will, resource mobilization, and holistic strategies that respond to India’s increasingly fragile water security. Without urgent reforms, equitable access will remain a distant goal. The pursuit of water equity is a national imperative.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: The Canadian Urological Association (CUA) has a longstanding tradition of developing evidence-based guidelines. We conducted this study to assess the heterogeneity of the CUA’s guideline methodology for developing recommendations from 2018-2023.
Methods: We included guidelines from the CUA website from 2018-2023. Two independent reviewers working independently and in duplicate abstracted all data points and categorized the reported methodologic approaches for formulating recommendations and rating the evidence. We performed descriptive statistics only.
Results: We included 23 guideline documents with a total of 654 recommendations. The median number of recommendations per guideline was 25 (interquartile range 17; 35). Seven guidelines (187 recommendations) used a modified Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine approach for both the strength of recommendations and the levels of evidence, and eight guidelines (177 recommendations) reported the use of GRADE both for the strength of recommendations and the certainty of evidence. Of the remaining eight guidelines, four (154 recommendations) blended the GRADE approach for the strength of recommendations with modified Oxford levels of evidence, and the remaining four combined the American Urological Association’s approach to recommendations with Oxford levels of evidence (n=1), GRADE certainty of evidence (n=2), or used GRADE but made no recommendations (n=1).
Conclusions: CUA guidelines have been marked by considerable methodologic heterogeneity that may confuse end users. Continued advancement in the CUA’s approach to guideline development will facilitate greater collaboration and resource sharing, thereby supporting the CUA’s mission of promoting high-quality, evidence-based care.

Introduction: Clinical guidelines recommend active surveillance (AS) as the preferred strategy for men with localized grade group (GG) 1 prostate cancer (PCa). We determined if the percentage of GG1 PCa patients in Ontario, Canada, managed by AS changed after the introduction of AS clinical guidelines and assessed adherence to the recommended followup protocol.
Methods: Using Ontario administrative databases, we conducted time series analysis (autoregressive integrated moving average [ARIMA] models) in a population-based cohort of men diagnosed with GG1 PCa (20102018). Men were classified as managed by AS if they had repeat (confirmatory) biopsy within two years. Sensitivity analyses (treatment classification variation) and secondary analyses (low-risk GG1 and GG2 PCa) were conducted.
Results: We identified 12 236 eligible GG1 PCa patients, of which 7749 (63.3%) were initially managed by AS. Percentage AS increased from 44% in 2010 to 82% in 2018. Interrupted time series analysis estimated an immediate step change of 6.2 percentage points (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.0, 9.4) and a difference in slope of -2.3 percentage points (95% CI -6.9, 2.3) per year. Findings were robust to sensitivity analyses and similar for low-risk PCa. Adherence to monitoring and AS uptake in GG2 patients were not associated with guideline publication. Limitations include lack of treatment intent information in administrative data.
Conclusions: The use of AS for low-grade PCa patients in Ontario increased from almost one in two patients in 2010 to four in five patients in 2017/2018. Adoption appeared to reflect the growing acceptance of AS prior to the guidelines, as well as an increase in response to the guideline introduction.

Introduction: Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) is a new standard for the imaging of high-risk or recurrent prostate cancer. While marginalization disparities exist for prostate cancer, less is known in the context of PSMA PET. The objective of the study was to determine if marginalization was associated with access, PET positivity, management change, radiation use, and survival of prostate cancer in a universal healthcare system.
Methods: Patients enrolled in the Ontario PSMA PET Registry for Recurrent Prostate Cancer (PREP) between 2018 and 2022 were included. The Ontario Marginalization Index (material resources, racialized/newcomer, age/labor force, household/dwellings) was used. Outcomes included access, PET positivity, management change, radiation use, and survival. Cox proportional hazards and logistic regression models examined the association between marginalization and outcomes. Provincial administrative databases were leveraged to generate a diagnosis and a survivorship cohort of prostate cancer patients who received primary treatment to compare with the PSMA PET cohort.
Results: There were 4034 patients in the PSMA PET cohort. Patients at higher material marginalization quintiles were under-represented in the PSMA PET Registry Database. Similar under-representation was noted in the diagnosis (n=123 128) and survival (n=56 753) cohorts. Within the PSMA cohort, marginalization dimensions were not significantly correlated with PET positivity, management change, or radiation use.
Conclusions: Marginalization quintiles across PSMA PET access were similar in distribution to prostate cancer diagnoses and survivor cohorts. We found no association of marginalization with PET positivity, management change, or radiation use among those receiving PSMA PET.
Newspaper Summarizer using Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning.
Authors: Hiray Neha
Published: February 2025

In the era of digital information, users are inundated with news articles from numerous sources, resulting in information overload and an overwhelming user experience. This research presents an advanced, real-time Newspaper Aggregator that utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to collect, process, and personalize news articles from diverse sources in real-time. The aggregator’s architecture integrates several NLP models to achieve comprehensive news handling: topic modeling categorizes articles into predefined topics such as Politics, Sports, and Technology using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), while sentiment analysis, powered by BERT, classifies public sentiment as Positive, Negative, or Neutral, capturing nuanced perspectives. The system’s summarization module leverages PEGASUS and Text Rank to deliver coherent, concise summaries, improving information accessibility and reducing reading time. Additionally, the recommendation engine employs a hybrid filtering approach, combining collaborative and content-based filtering, to provide personalized news recommendations based on user history and article characteristics. Our methodology includes systematic data collection, text pre-processing, topic categorization, sentiment classification, summarization, and real-time recommendation, followed by rigorous evaluation. The aggregator achieves high accuracy across tasks: BERT-driven sentiment analysis achieves 92% accuracy, LDA models yield coherent topic clusters, and summarization evaluations produce a ROUGE-L score of 0.75, all of which underscore the system's reliability in managing dynamic news content. Performance testing indicates that this Newspaper Aggregator offers a significant improvement in user relevance and engagement compared to traditional keyword-based systems. Overall, this study establishes a foundation for intelligent, real-time news aggregation, providing users with a streamlined, personalized news experience.
