Abstract
Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) determines the type of tumour and affirms the diagnosis. Computed tomography (CT)-guided FNAC of suspicious lung masses is a widely employed, inexpensive diagnostic procedure.
Objective: To evaluate the age, sex, topographic distribution, size, and cytopathological diagnosis of lung mass lesions using CT-guided FNAC.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 56 individuals with pulmonary mass lesions, most of which were presumably caused by neoplastic disease, as evidenced by chest radiographs and CT scans. The study was conducted between June 2022 and June 2024.
Results: The mean age of the study participants was 63.6±11.8 years, with more than half (51.8%) falling within the 46–65 age group. Lesions were more commonly found in the right lung (57.1%) compared to the left lung (42.9%). The upper lobe accounted for about two-thirds of the lesions (64.3%), while the middle lobe had the fewest (3.6%). Of all cases, 87.5% were malignant, and 12.5% were benign. The most common malignant lesions were squamous cell carcinoma (33.9%), adenocarcinoma (28.6%), and poorly differentiated carcinomas (21.4%). Small cell carcinoma was identified in 3.6% of cases. There was a statistically significant association between age group and type of malignancy (P<0.05), with the 46–65 age group showing a higher prevalence of malignant lesions (55.1%).
Conclusion: CT-guided FNAC is a highly effective and comparatively accurate diagnostic technique for pulmonary mass lesions, with a permissible complication risk.

Enhancing Object Detection in Autonomous Vehicles Using Hybrid Convolutional Neural Networks and Transformer Models
Authors: aljamal Khalil , shannaq Osama
Published: February 2025

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) depend on precise and efficient object detection (OD) for safe navigation in complex and dynamic environments. Traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) excel at extracting local features but face limitations in capturing long-range dependencies, leading to challenges in scenarios involving occlusion, varying lighting, and diverse object scales. This paper proposes HCNN-TMOD, a hybrid framework that combines CNNs and Transformer Models (TM) to overcome these challenges and enhance object detection (OD) accuracy and speed for real-time autonomous vehicle applications. HCNN-TMOD utilizes CNNs for robust local feature extraction and TMs for capturing global contextual relationships. A feature fusion mechanism integrates outputs from both architectures, enabling improved spatial and semantic representations. The system is optimized for latency and hardware constraints and evaluated on various datasets like vehicle, pedestrians and traffic light detection, demonstrating suitability for real-world AV scenarios. Results show a 15% improvement in mean Average Precision (mAP) and a 20% reduction in detection latency compared to traditional CNN-based approaches. HCNN-TMOD performs exceptionally well in challenging conditions such as occlusion and low-light environments. The integration of CNNs and Transformers in this hybrid approach provides a significant advancement in OD for AVs, paving the way for safer, more reliable, and efficient real-time navigation systems.

Authors: alkato Amro ameid , sakhnini Yara
Published: February 2025

Intelligent systems are becoming more data-intensive and complicated, so it's essential to have reliable methods to recognize anomalies immediately and monitor trends to keep the system running well. The present research delves into using the DeepSense Framework, built up on top of Deep Belief Networks (DBNs), to create a system that can change with changing settings and recognize and anticipate anomalies accurately. DBNs are generally used to examine data collections with several dimensions because of their multilayered, unsupervised prior instruction and fine-tuning capacities. The framework is built to capture complicated, unpredictable relationships amongst the collected information to discover minor abnormalities and anticipate patterns in the future. The DeepSense Framework successfully reduces the amount of false positives while keeping the identification of anomalies responsiveness substantial, according to an experimental assessment. The structure also outperforms more traditional quantitative and neural network methods when it comes to trend predictions.

Authors: Madani Muhammad Nur , San Yuliansyah Hufat , Sandy Derry Try
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to gain new knowledge and discoveries, especially those related to nutrition in East Kalimantan, with stunting rates showing significant disparities between districts/cities. The latest data shows East Kutai recorded the highest stunting rate at 29%, far above the WHO threshold of 20%. The analysis method used was article content analysis. Research articles that met the criteria were then collected, and the findings were summarized. The data came from a survey conducted by the Ministry of Health in 34 provinces in Indonesia and East Kalimantan Province. Paser and West Kutai Districts also showed a high prevalence of stunting, at 22.4% and 22% respectively. This condition indicates that local factors, including access to health services and nutrition education, play a major role in exacerbating this problem, although cities such as Balikpapan and Samarinda have better infrastructure, significant stunting rates (21.6% and 24.4%) indicate that urbanization is not always directly proportional to improvements in children’s nutritional status. This study proposes several innovative strategies to address the problem of stunting, including community-based approaches, tailored nutrition intervention programs, improving access and quality of health services, nutrition education in schools, public awareness campaigns, multi-sectoral policy integration, and research and data development. Implementing these strategies is expected to reduce stunting rates and improve the health and welfare of the community in East Kalimantan.

Emotional Turmoil- The cost of trusting too much?
Authors: Khan Bakhtawar Batool , Mahrukh Raza  , Sarah Usman  , Bushra Nasim
Published: February 2025

Background: Emotional responses and psychological vulnerabilities, such as gullibility, self-concept, and internalizing behaviors, play a significant role in shaping the mental health of young adults. In collectivistic societies like Pakistan, cultural and familial factors further complicate these psychological dynamics. This study investigates the relationships among these constructs and explores how they contribute to emotional distress in young adults, particularly within the cultural framework of Lahore.
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to assess the relationship between gullibility, self-concept, and internalizing behaviors, and to determine the influence of demographic factors such as gender and family system on these psychological constructs in young adults.
Methods: A correlational research design was employed, using purposive sampling to recruit 300 participants (153 males, 147 females) aged 18–25 from private universities in Lahore. Participants completed a structured questionnaire comprising the Gullibility Scale (TGS), Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire (PSC), and Internalizing Behaviors Scale (IBS). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation, hierarchical regression analysis, and independent samples t-tests through SPSS version 21. Ethical approval was obtained, and informed consent was secured from all participants.
Results: Pearson correlation revealed a significant positive relationship between gullibility and self-concept (r = 0.33, p < 0.001) and internalizing behaviors (r = 0.19, p = 0.001). Gender showed a significant negative correlation with internalizing behaviors (r = -0.13, p = 0.028). Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the joint family system significantly predicted internalizing behaviors, accounting for 8.5% variance (F = 4.31, p < 0.001). Gullibility emerged as a significant positive predictor of internalizing behaviors, explaining 14.47% variance (F = 4.73, p < 0.05). Females exhibited higher levels of gullibility and self-concept compared to males.
Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that gullibility is a significant positive predictor of internalizing behaviors. Gender and family system also significantly influence these psychological constructs, with females showing higher gullibility and self-concept, while individuals from joint family systems are more susceptible to internalizing behaviors.
Heidegger et la dialectique hégélienne de la négativité
Authors:   Université Alassane OUATTARA (Côte d’Ivoire), SANGARÉ Abou
Published: February 2025

Heidegger, dans sa volonté de dépassement de la métaphysique, s’attaque à la pensée de Hegel qu’il entend déconstruire au travers du concept de négativité. Notre souci ici, loin de lui reprocher une étude incomplète de Hegel, est de montrer, contre lui, que la négativité est tellement prise au sérieux chez Hegel, que par delà la négativité logique, il expose une autre, non moins importante, que l’érudition de Heidegger ne peut invalider: la négativité abstraite du temps.

Published: February 2025

Le 22 octobre 1818, Hegel prenait fonction à l’Université de Berlin en qualité de professeur de philosophie. À cette occasion, il a, en ouverture à ses cours, prononcé un discours programmatique dans lequel il a exposé les grands principes d’une « philosophie de l’université » qui consiste non pas à placer l’université sous le regard extérieur de la discipline philosophique, mais à expliciter la philosophie que recèle en soi la chose universitaire et que le fonctionnement de l’institution est censé mettre en œuvre conformément à ce qui fait son essence. C’est de cela que cet article entend rendre compte en suivant les principaux moments à travers lesquels le Philosophe de Berlin avait exposé cette thèse.

The impact of a typhoon disaster depends on the intensity and strength of the typhoon which can be linked with the precautionary measures and knowledge of local residents. This descriptive-correlational research design gathered data on the farming profile and damages caused by super typhoon Rolly in the selected coastal areas in Sorsogon City, Philippines through surveys, field visits, and interviews. Out of the purposively chosen 1000 respondents, 834 of them reported damages in their housing. Most of the farmer respondents have more than 20 years of engagement in the mono cropping system, tilling below the one-hectare size of land near their residency as a tenant. Moreover, the majority of the farmers were newly engaged ( 5 years) in livestock production in their backyard. The multiple regression reveals that the barangay location ( =-9.866), water resources ( =5.197), households who experienced flooding ( =6.067), and household head age ( =0.135) were statistically significant predictors of typhoon damages. The farmers who used mono-cropping in any of the rice, corn, cassava, coconut, vegetables, among others have low income and reveal higher damages during typhoons. The Sorsoganons are generally resilient able to move forward despite all the challenges and difficulties brought by the typhoon. The provision of the relocation sites, advice, and monitoring of LGUs are important precautionary measures in reducing the impact of the typhoon along with coastal areas.

Making the students conscious of their own learning strategies is tantamount to making them learn how to learn. Realistically, when students fail to recognize their own learning styles their academic performance is expected to be a failure. Wirth (2008) recognizes that learning how to learn is an important skill in today’s recent explosion of knowledge and technology. This paper investigated on the language learning strategies of the college students and explore the relationship among LLS, gender and language proficiency. The study used the descriptive design in identifying the language learning strategies of the participants. In identifying the strategies objectively, this paper used the Strategy Inventory Language Learning (SILL) of Oxford (1990) since it is designed for ESL and EFL learners. Likewise, this paper correlated the participants’ gender and the results of the English language proficiency test. From the result of the analysis of the language learning strategies of the college students, metacognitive strategies are frequently used in learning a second language of the students who are enrolled in education and information technology courses. Significantly, all groups of participants are usually employing social strategies in their language learning. Cognitive and metacognitive strategies among other categories of strategies surveyed are essential for successful language learning. Language learning strategies have significant negative correlation to gender, in favour of female students who utilized these strategies more frequently than male students. The findings of the study might have contributed to the quest for more effective language instruction that is centered on developing L2 learners to become self-directed learners. This can only be possible if language teachers would be able to raise consciousness of students on how they learn best. Understanding LLS of students is a challenge for language teachers to craft teaching strategies or styles that would be a learner-centered approach. By focusing on the learners and considering the different strategies they use while learning L2, ESL learners will become self-directed, and independent learners of English.
La bibliothèque du Collège jésuite de Québec et sa trajectoire au tournant du xixe siècle : entre transferts matériels et legs symboliques
Authors: Nadeau Marie-Hélène
Published: February 2025

Avec le développement des humanités numériques, les connaissances entourant la trajectoire de la bibliothèque du Collège jésuite de Québec (1635-1800) se sont multipliées dans les dernières années. Cet article propose, d’une part, d’en renouveler les résultats à la lumière des récentes découvertes de l’équipe du Centre Joseph-Charles-Taché et, d’autre part, d’interroger la dispersion de la bibliothèque au tournant du xixe siècle, période cruciale où survient la liquidation de cette collection à la suite de la fermeture du collège. L’analyse met en évidence la logique de proximités géographique, spirituelle et intellectuelle qui opère en faveur de deux communautés, les Augustines et les Ursulines, et de deux institutions, le Séminaire de Québec et l’évêché de Québec, ce dernier ayant ensuite fait don d’une partie de son legs au Séminaire de Nicolet. Si le transfert de la bibliothèque répond d’emblée à des considérations pratiques de réinvestissement des ressources matérielles, il en rappelle aussi symboliquement la filiation spirituelle et intellectuelle que suppose, pour les collèges classiques, l’héritage humaniste des Jésuites.
Transmettre la fierté nationale par le théâtre : les pièces de théâtre au Collège Bruyère comme reflet de l’identité canadienne‑française en 1937 et en 1953
Authors: Arseneau Marianne
Published: February 2025

Dans certains collèges classiques, les religieuses et les religieux écrivent et font jouer par leurs élèves des pièces de théâtre qui nourrissent la fierté nationale des jeunes. Nous analysons deux pièces provenant des archives du Collège Bruyère d’Ottawa, un collège féminin tenu par les Soeurs grises de la Croix. Afin de promouvoir le nationalisme canadien-français, les pièces, datant de 1937 et de 1953 respectivement, empruntent des caractéristiques du pageant historique, un genre théâtral utilisé pour mettre en scène des sujets patriotiques. L’étude de l’activité théâtrale au collège permet d’apercevoir l’évolution des tensions entre action nationale et action catholique qui traversent le champ intellectuel canadien-français. En 1937, on prône un nationalisme revendicateur, alors qu’en 1953, le nationalisme est moins fervent et le ton plus consensuel.
La gouvernance des terres agricoles en Île-de-France. Une analyse des conflits d’usage des sols, dans un contexte de préservation des surfaces agricoles alimentaires
Authors: Fonseca Brenno , Torre André
Published: February 2025

L’objectif de cet article est de discuter de la question de la gouvernance des terres agricoles en proximité d’un grand centre urbain. L’analyse des conflits d’usage des sols permet de mettre en évidence les liens complexes entre le centre urbain et ses couronnes agricoles. Dans cette perspective, nous étudions le cas de la plus grande agglomération française, celle du Grand Paris (Île-de-France). Nous commençons par présenter les concepts et les enjeux qui imprègnent l’existence de cette agriculture périurbaine régionale, ainsi que notre approche méthodologique, développée à partir d’entretiens avec des experts locaux, d’une analyse de la presse quotidienne régionale et d’un suivi des réseaux sociaux, dans le but de croiser ces données pour mieux caractériser les conflits qui traversent les zones agricoles. L’étude montre en particulier qu’existent trois grandes sources de conflits, respectivement liées à l’étalement urbain et la spéculation immobilière, à l’installation d’infrastructures urbaines et à l’absence de gestion régionale des zones de production agricoles. Sur la base de ces résultats, nous discutons des relations entre acteurs locaux, des politiques publiques et des possibles restructurations organisationnelles afin de comprendre les enjeux sur la résilience alimentaire locale, les modes de production et les perméabilités entre systèmes urbains et ruraux dans la préservation de ces espaces de production agricole. Enfin, nous en tirons des conclusions sur l’avenir de ces zones agricoles.
