BACKGROUND:Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) in infants and children is one of the more alarming conditions encountered in pediatrics. It is nonetheless an anxiety-provoking complaint. Most etiologies are self-limited and benign.AIM OF STUDY:To review the causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and its clinical presentations in children and evaluate the role of endoscopy for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.PATIENTS AND METHOD:Fifty eight patients from 4 days old up to the age of 18 years who referred with upper gastrointestinal bleeding to the Gastro intestinal&Hepatology unit in the Children Welfare Teaching Hospital/ Medical City/Baghdad, in the period from 1st of April 2010 to 1st of November 2010.RESULTS: there were 58 patients (34 males and 24 females) with male to female ratio (1.4:1), 58.5% presented with hematemesis, 5.2% had melena and 31.1% had both, 5.2% of patients presented with hematochezia . The most common causes of upper GI bleeding among all patients were esophageal varices (39%), gastric erosions (19.6%), duodenal ulcer (7.4%), gastric ulcer (9.7%), (4.9%) for Mallory Weiss syndrome and also (4.9%) for oesophagitis. The causes of bleeding could not be ascertained in (30%) of cases. (15.3%) of patients, there was a history of consumption of medications predisposing them to upper GI bleeding. Fifteen patients (25.8 %) had comorbid disease. There were three deaths (5.1%) in this study.CONCLUSION: oesophagealvarices were the common cause of upper GI bleeding. Most patients presented with hematemesis. In children with upper GI bleeding, upper GI endoscopy provides an accurate diagnostic tool and also provides therapeutic intervention when needed

Authors: Abid Ali Shawqi J. , Ja’afar Isra’a F. , Hasan Zeki N.
Published: August 2023

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of common peripheral nerve disorder which involves an entrapment neuropathy of the median nerve at the wrist which occurs either due to primary idiopathic cause or secondary to systemic causes. The diagnosis of CTS is clinical and supported by neurophysiological analysis. Surgical intervention is the main treatment modality.Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of low level laser therapy (LLLT) to treat mild – moderate CTS cases.Pateients and methods: The study involves 60 symptomatic patients complaining of CTS were divided into two groups. Group A was subjected to real LLLT by Gallium – Arsenide (Ga-As) laser (904 nm), whereas group B was subjected to sham laser. Thirty asymptomatic normal individuals as group C were subjected to real LLLT in the same protocol as that applied to CTS cases. The individuals were evaluated clinically and by nerve conduction studies (NCSs) at early time as baseline reading and immediately after the treatment and later on after two weeks from stopping the treatment sessions.Results: LLLT showed significant pain reduction (70.9%) and improved latency and amplitude studies for sensory (16.7% and 29%, respectively) and motor (18% and 26%, respectively) median nerve fibers in patients group who were exposed to real laser therapy in comparison to sham group but normal individuals showed significant increment in motor amplitude (12%) after completing therapy sessions. Conduction velocity and minimal F wave latency studies did not show significant changes in all study groups.Conclusion: LLLT is proved to be an effective, easy, handy, relatively safe, and noninvasive treatment modality for idiopathic CTS of mild – moderate severity. Broadening the spectrum of wavelengths and changing the power density and energy doses and enrolment of cases which has already been treated surgically still a hopeful view of using LLLT in CTS treatment for further investigations.

Access to digital health and care solutions and services that promote healthy ageing, independent living, and ageing in place is limited due to significant market barriers and challenges. The SHAPES project addresses the challenge of ageing populations by developing a sociotechnical ecosystem comprising a variety of health and care digital solutions, tools and services to enable and facilitate active, independent, and healthy ageing at home. Within the SHAPES project, the SHAPES Marketplace serves as a one-stop-shop for digital solutions and services designed for the Silver Economy that target the smart and healthy ageing and independent living markets. Delivering a dynamic catalogue of health and care digital solutions and services, the Marketplace promotes a transparent expansion of a trusted market offer on digital solutions and services for healthy ageing and independent living on a pan-European scale, thereby preventing vendor lock-in and enhancing the agile and fair competitiveness of the health and care industry, particularly in Europe. This paper introduces the SHAPES Marketplace and considers its function as a market driver to raise awareness on the benefits and impact of health and care digital solutions and services, as well as to shape the healthy ageing market, upholding the Systems-Market for Assistive and Related Technologies (SMART) Thinking Matrix to stimulate transparency, trust and fair competition.
Blind Modalities for Human Activity Recognition
Authors: Strohmayer Julian , Kampel Martin
Published: August 2023

Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has attracted considerable interest due to its ability to facilitate automation in various application areas, including but not limited to smart homes, active assisted living, and security. At present, optical modalities such as RGB, depth, and thermal imaging are prevalent in the field due to the effectiveness of deep learning algorithms like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and the abundance of publicly available image data. However, unconventional modalities such as radar, WiFi, seismic and environmental sensors are emerging as potential alternatives due to their capacity for contactless long-range sensing in spatially constrained environments and preservation of visual privacy. This work gives an overview of the HAR modalities landscape and discusses works that apply these emerging modalities in new and unconventional ways to inform researchers and practitioners about challenges and opportunities in the field of HAR.
Video-Based AAL and Intimate Pictures – Criminal Liability in European, Irish, and Polish Law
Authors: Kuźmicz Maksymilian M.
Published: August 2023

Active and Assisted Living (AAL) technologies offer solutions for addressing healthcare challenges associated with ageing societies and a shortage of care personnel. At the same time, these technologies raise significant privacy issues, which may constitute a barrier to the sustainable adoption and acceptance of AAL. In particular, concerns arise from the presence of cameras in intimate situations, including nudity, and the potential production and dissemination of intimate pictures, which constitutes a risk for AAL users. The paper compares the regimes of criminal liability for making and disseminating intimate pictures under EU, Irish, and Polish law. The study aims to help AAL users understand their legal protection, and give providers and developers more insight into their legal responsibilities. The paper first presents different understandings of an intimate picture in each jurisdiction, followed by a discussion of what the crime entails and who may be liable for it. The conclusion includes a checklist of rules concerning criminal liability, which may be useful for AAL users and providers, and conclusions de lege ferenda.
Audio-Conversion of Biomedical Signals – A Possible Approach to Improve Remote Monitoring of Elderly and Visually Impaired People
Authors: Iliev Ivo , Tabakov Serafim , Petrova Galidiya
Published: August 2023

Long-term remote patients monitoring implies minimal discomfort and reliability throughout the study period. These requirements are fulfilled by portable (wearable) patient devices, with low consumption, which transmit data wirelessly, at a short distance, to a mobile communication device (GSM) and through it, to a remote end recipient - doctor, medical center or a hospital server. The data transfer technology requires the monitored person to perform a sequence of actions, such as: selecting the appropriate application on the mobile phone, establishing a connection between the patient module and the phone, recording the data in the phone’s memory, starting the data transfer from the phone to the final receiver. Practice shows that often this sequence of activities is difficult for elderly people and especially for visually impaired people, which as a result compromises the remote monitoring process. In this paper are presented an approach and conceptual implementation of a system for remote monitoring of cardiac activity, using the most popular way of remote connectivity - voice (sound) communication. In addition to the ease of use, this type of communication does not require special data protection, due to the lack of RF interfaces for short-distance data transmission. The presented results of laboratory studies, as well as conducted tests under medical supervision of patients in a cardiology clinic, confirm the workability of the proposed approach for remote monitoring of patients by audio conversion of the ECG signal.

Many online educational materials for sighted students such as presentation slides, PDF materials, MP4 videos, etc. are produced with Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT). In terms of non-technical contents, accessible PPT contents can be produced in a certain level; however, as far as STEM contents are concerned, there is still a serious difficulty. Our new add-on for PPT allows users to make efficiently/easily PPT STEM contents accessible. By making use of it, alt text/aloud reading by a TTS voice can be added to any technical part such as mathematical expressions included in PPT slides. An accessible MP4 video for STEM education also can be produced efficiently. By making use of multilingual support in Infty software, this add-on has been recently improved so that users can use it for PPT contents in various local languages other than Japanese or English.
AI Supporting AAC Pictographic Symbol Adaptations
Authors: Draffan E.A. , Wald Mike , Ding Chaohai , Yin Yuanyuan
Published: August 2023

The phenomenal increase in technological capabilities that allow the design and training of systems to cope with the complexities of natural language and visual representation in order to develop other formats is remarkable. It has made it possible to make use of image to image and text to image technologies to support those with disabilities in ways not previously explored. It has opened the world of adaptations from one picture to another in a design style of a user’s choosing. Automated text simplification alongside graphical symbol representations to enhance understanding of complex content is already being used to support those with cognitive impairments and learning difficulties. Symbol sets have become embedded within applications as dictionaries and look up systems, but the need for flexibility and personalization remains a challenge. Most pictographic symbols are created over time within the bounds of a certain style and schema for particular groups such as those who use augmentative and alternative forms of communication (AAC). By using generative artificial intelligence, it is proposed that symbols could be produced based on the style of those already used by an individual or adapted to suit different requirements within local contexts, cultures and communities. This paper explores these ideas at the start of a small six-month pilot study to adapt a number of open licensed symbols based on the symbol set’s original style. Once a collection has been automatically developed from image to image and text descriptions, potential stakeholders will evaluate the outcomes using an online voting system. Successful symbols will be made available and could potentially be added to the original symbol set offering a flexible personalized approach to AAC symbol generation hitherto not experienced by users.
Japanese Braille Translation Using Deep Learning – Conversion from Phonetic Characters (Kana) to Homonymic Characters (Kanji) –
Authors: Seto Shuichi , Kawabe Hiroyuki , Shimomura Yoko
Published: August 2023

A blind student writes and submits reports in Braille word processor, which is difficult for teachers to read. This study’s purpose is to make a translator from Braille into mixed Kana-Kanji sentences for such teachers. Because Kanji has homonyms, it is not always possible to get correct results when converting. To overcome this difficulty, we used deep learning for translation. We built a training dataset composed from 15,000 pairs of Braille codes and mixed Kana-Kanji sentences, and a validation dataset. In training, we got an accuracy of 0.906 and a good Bleu score of 0.600. In validation, we found 5 mistaken words in selecting homonymous Kanji by examining translation mistakes from 100 pairs of the verification sentences. The choice of homonymous Kanji depends on the context. For decreasing such type of errors, it is necessary to introduce of translation of paragraphs by increasing the scale of the network model in deep learning, and to expand the network structure.
Exploring Practical Metrics to Support Automatic Speech Recognition Evaluations
Authors: Draffan E.A. , Wald Mike , Ding Chaohai , Li Yunjia
Published: August 2023

Recent studies into the evaluation of automatic speech recognition for its quality of output in the form of text have shown that using word error rate to see how many mistakes exist in English does not necessarily help the developer of automatic transcriptions or captions. Confidence levels as to the type of errors being made remain low because mistranslations from speech to text are not always captured with a note that details the reason for the error. There have been situations in higher education where students requiring captions and transcriptions have found that some academic lecture results are littered with word errors which means that comprehension levels drop and those with cognitive, physical and sensory disabilities are particularly affected. Despite the incredible improvements in general understanding of conversational automatic speech recognition, academic situations tend to include numerous domain specific terms and the lecturers may be non-native speakers, coping with recording technology in noisy situations. This paper aims to discuss the way additional metrics are used to capture issues and feedback into the machine learning process to enable enhanced quality of output and more inclusive practices for those using virtual conferencing systems. The process goes beyond what is expressed and examines paralinguistic aspects such as timing, intonation, voice quality and speech understanding.

Authors: Michailidou Sofia , Koustriava Eleni
Published: August 2023

In the present intervention program an eleven-year-old student with visual impairments was introduced in the basic use of a computer for the first time. The key tools for achieving this goal were the screen reading software “NVDA” as well as the development of a well-structured educational program. The purpose of the intervention was to enhance the student’s technological skills, to make him familiar with the use of assistive technology and to enable him to exploit these new skills for his internet socialization. The evaluation of the intervention program’s results was completed on three stages: a) after testing the student’s knowledge and skills in the basic use of a computer (pre- and post-assessment ), b) after measuring his social network, his self-esteem and the perceived social support, and c) after analyzing the content of the student’s written speech based on a series of criteria. (pre- and post-assessment). The results showed that the basic use of a computer was acquired and internet socialization increased his level of self-esteem, his social network and simultaneously created a sense of belonging. Finally, there was an improvement in his writing.
I Know My Rights! A Longitudinal Study of Discrimination due to Physical Inaccessibility from the Perspective of Wheelchair Users
Authors: Baudin Katarina , Pettersson Cecilia
Published: August 2023

It is a fundamental right to be able to access society and the services in it. From the perspective of disability rights, people with mobility-related disabilities who use wheelchairs must have equal opportunities to participate in and contribute to society – whether it is school, work, or (activity) leisure. This ongoing study is a longitudinal document study with qualitative content analysis. The document study is based on incoming complaints of discrimination due to inaccessibility received by the DO in Sweden, 2015–2023. The study explores how the users of wheelchairs and scooters experience discrimination due to their inaccessibility, using the ICF framework, among reported complaints to the DO from 2015–2023. The preliminary results show an increase in the number of complaints about discrimination across the entire period of 2015–2023. Responding to peoples’ lived perspectives has often been cited as crucial to understanding how inclusion and exclusion play out in real life. A more accessible world depends on the extent of our knowledge and the politics of knowing-making, according to recently published research. Analyzing complaints about lack of accessibility over time generates essential knowledge for how discrimination against people who use wheelchairs can be prevented. This project also contributes to essential knowledge for social sustainability, economic sustainability, and a sustainable, accessible environment for people who use wheelchairs.

Authors: Nakashige Mutsuhiro , Shibusawa Ryota , Oe Katsutoshi
Published: August 2023

We investigated a speech training support system targeting students in special needs education classes who are engaged in training to acquire a binary relationship where their vocalizations elicit reactions from others. Previously, there was a challenge in maintaining interest and achieving learning effectiveness when teachers intervened to encourage vocalizations using teaching aids such as picture books. To address this, we designed and integrated an electronic circuit with a movable toy that captures the interest of the supported students. The circuit includes a switch that turns on and activates a secondary circuit only when vocalizations are detected. In this paper, we report on the training using the developed speech support system and validate its functionality.

The GLIC Association has devised a service provisioning model in state schools that ensures adequate support for the integration of AT, thus promoting inclusive education.
Tool for Digital Inclusion in Italian Schools: The Use of Self-Assessment Framework from ENTELIS Project
Authors: Pagliara Silvio Marcello , Sanchez Utge Marta
Published: August 2023

The use of technology in education has the potential to create more inclusive environments for all students, including those with disabilities. In Italy, the Ministry of Education has recognized the importance of digital literacy in schools and has issued several documents outlining the steps necessary to build a more inclusive educational system. However, in order to achieve these goals, it is important to assess the current situation and identify areas for improvement. The Entelis Self-assessment framework, particularly the Italian short version, can be used as a tool to help schools assess their digital inclusion practices and develop strategies for improvement. In 2015, the Ministry of Education issued the new Law 107/2015, called “La Buona Scuola”, which included the New National Plan on School Digital Literacy – PNSD (MIUR, 2015) and the Three-year plan of in-service teachers’ education and training. These documents aimed to consolidate the path of innovation and digitization in schools through a strategy that invested in the technological, epistemological, and cultural dimensions. The PNSD focused on the initial and in-service training of teachers, recognizing that educational innovation through digital technologies requires a reformulation of traditional teaching-learning methods to include pedagogical accessibility and inclusion. However, the success of these initiatives depends on the readiness of teachers to implement new technologies in their classrooms. The European Union (EU) identified teacher training as a critical factor for the success of ICT-related educational innovation in 2003. Teachers themselves recognize the need for training, with TALIS results (OEDC, 2014) showing that the need for training related to teaching with information and communication technology (ICT) skills and using new technologies in the workplace was a priority for teachers.

Background: Childhood trauma encompasses neglect, abuse, abandonment, witnessing abuse, and having mentally ill and/or parent(s) engaged in substance abuse. Survivors of trauma are more likely to report insecure attachment styles. Thus, the current study aimed to investigate the indirect pathways underlying the relationship between childhood trauma and romantic attachment among adults in India. Methods: This study used a correlational research design and a cross-sectional, survey method for data collection. The data were collected through an online survey in Tier 1 cities in India. A total of 397 responses were collected using purposive sampling, from which 104 respondents were selected after data cleaning. The research tools included the childhood trauma questionnaire–short-form, the experience in close relationship scale, Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale, and trust in close relationships scale. Descriptive and inferential analysis was done using SPSS software, version 25. Pearson correlation coefficient, regression analysis, and mediation analysis were done to analyze data. Results: The results indicated a high level of trauma in the participants, and consequently, insecure romantic attachment styles, and also low levels of trust at a 0.05 significance level. Self-esteem had a significant negative correlation with romantic attachment (r=-0.225, p=0.001), but did not mediate the relationship between childhood trauma and romantic attachment. Trust also had a significant negative correlation with romantic attachment (r=-0.312, p=0.001) and also mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and romantic attachment (β=0.102, p=0.041). Conclusion: This study provides evidence that childhood trauma affects romantic attachment, self-esteem, and trust. In light of these findings, therapists should adopt an integrated approach that addresses these interconnected variables through trauma-focused, attachment-focused, and evidence-based therapies to help trauma survivors. Since trust was identified as a mediating factor in the relationship between childhood trauma and romantic attachment, it provides a novel insight for therapists to prioritize interventions that focus on building trust.

Published: August 2023

Protecting and ensuring the rights of children is one of the crucial and fundamental tasks of the state, as children represent the future of any nation in the world. In the present circumstances, the attention and measures from Ukrainian authorities and society, demand clear and effective adherence to international standards regarding the rights of children, who have been illegally displaced and taken out of Ukraine. According to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, every child has the right to protection from any form of violence, including protection against illegal removal from their country. The actions taken by the aggressor state against Ukrainian children pose a direct threat to the lives and health of the civilian population, contravene international and domestic laws, and violate the constitutional rights and freedoms of Ukrainian citizens. Our country must ensure the restoration of children’s connections with their parents or other family members who are within the territory of Ukraine. The state authorities should exercise effective control over the exportation of children beyond the country’s borders, establish the reasons and circumstances of illegal removal, and participate in international cooperation with other countries to facilitate the return of illegally removed children to Ukrainian territory. However, in the conditions of war, fully controlling and unquestionably implementing this issue is difficult and problematic. The return of illegally removed children to Ukrainian territory and the protection of those who are in temporarily occupied territories constitutes a lengthy and challenging process that requires adequate efforts and significant legal support and resources. One of the top priorities for our state is the necessity to establish an effective system for safeguarding children’s rights, which would assist in their return to Ukrainian territory and their subsequent effective integration into society. Therefore, the practical implementation of comprehensive measures worldwide necessitates the development of new legal mechanisms for protecting children’s rights that would operate in conditions of war and allow international legal institutions to promptly respond to any violations of children’s rights.

The method for obtaining alkoxycarbonylmethyl esters of thioacetic acid, based on the interaction of mercaptoacetic acid esters with acetic anhydride in an alkaline medium was proposed. It showed that an alternative way to obtain alkoxycarbonylmethyl esters of thioacetic acid is the reaction of mercaptoacetic acid esters with acetyl chloride in the presence of equimolar quantities of triethylamine. The interaction of mercaptoacetic acid esters with benzoyl chloride in the presence of equimolar amounts of triethylamine was used to synthesize appropriate alkoxycarbonylmethyl esters of thioacetic and thiobenzoic acids. Study into synthesized compounds as additives to lubricating oils revealed that addition of butoxycarbonyl methyl ester of thioacetic acid at a concentration of 1% in M-8 oil practically eliminated its corrodibility, while butoxycarbonyl methyl esters of thioacetic and thiobenzoic acids also had some lubricating and antimicrobial properties.

Objective: To increase the germination percentage of Abies religiosa by immersion in water with different temperatures and periods.Design/Methodology/Approach: A completely randomized factorial experiment was carried out with five temperatures (10, Room temperature (Rt), 30, 40, and 50°C) and 13 periods expressed in seconds (10, 20, 40, 60, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3000, 3600, 7200, 14400, and 21600), with a total of 65 treatments and 30 repetitions per treatment. The seeds were dipped in water with the temperatures and periods of each treatment to obtain the highest germination percentage.Results: The best pre-germination treatment (73% germination) was obtained with the combination of 40 °C and 7,200 s. Meanwhile, the treatments with the lowest percentage (14%) were the combinations 10 °C × 20 s and 10 °C × 40 s. Twenty-six treatments recorded a >50% germination, reaching a peak value of 8.56 at 11.7days.
Study Limitations/Implications: Keeping the water temperature and theimmersion period constant during the experiment was more difficult in the longer treatments, with the lowest and highest temperatures.Findings/Conclusions: Abies religiosa registers acceptable germination percentages with the highest temperature (50 °C).

a) Objective: To prevent morbidities, mortalities and increase weight gain and growth of kids by administering oral probiotic conjugate (PC).

b) Design/Methodology/Approach: A randomized design comparing treatments (supplemented dose), percentage of morbidity and percentage of mortality. Goats were administered weekly from birth to 56 days of age. PC of Bifidobacterium bifidum essensis, Lactococcus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus were dosed weekly. Treatments, TC: Control, T2: 2.0 mL PC/kg body weight (BW). T3: 3 mL PC/Kg BW. T4: 4 mL PC/Kg BW.

c) Results: Diarrhea was present in: TC = 16%, T2 = 1%, T3 and T4 = 0% (TC vs. T2, T3, T4, P <0.05). Mortality percentages: TC = 17%, T2, T3 and T4 = 0% (TC vs. T2, T3, T4, P <0.05). T2 and T3 had an increase (P <0.05) of 1.9 kg weight gain (WG) vs. TC. T3 was the best treatment at 56d (P <0.05).

d) Study Limitations/Implications: The doses used were defined based on other studies and experimental doses were used; the results consider that the facilities and management are optimal and in accordance with animal welfare standards.

e) Findings/Conclusions: The most adequate dose was 1014 CFU/kg BW since it improved WG and reduced mortality. It is suggested to compare oral doses of probiotics to reduce death due to enteric diseases.
