A survey on obstacles to the widespread use of connected and automated vehicles
Authors: Uysal Serra , Sandıkkaya Mehmet Tahir
Published: March 2024

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) are rapidly evolving technology with great benefits such as reducing gas emissions and decreasing traffic congestion. They have the potential to change the traditional transportation industry due to their benefits. However, the implementation phase for CAVs decelerates with the uncertainties of legislation on privacy-preserving and public concerns. Perception of people needs to be understood beforehand. Main concern points like possible attacks and mitigation techniques, and privacy protection should be addressed. Certain regulation system should be implemented, and transportation habits should be considered. After thinking over those points, adaption of CAVs can be achieved more smoothly. In this survey paper, we aim to shed light on the obstacles to the widespread use of CAVs by collecting existing literature and creating a sophisticated bouquet of the issues. Public perception, common attacks and mitigation techniques, privacy protection, regulations, and possible transportation habit shifts related to CAVs are examined. With the information gathered from this survey, manufacturers and policymakers can determine an influential pathway for the development of CAVs.
From specialized knowledge frames to linguistically based ontologies
Authors: Faber Pamela , León-Araúz Pilar
Published: March 2024

This paper explains conceptual modeling within the framework of Frame-Based Terminology (Faber, 2012; 2015; 2022), as applied to EcoLexicon (ecolexicon.ugr.es), a specialized knowledge base on the environment (León-Araúz, Reimerink &, Faber, 2019; Faber & León-Araúz, 2021). It describes how a frame-based terminological resource is currently being restructured and reengineered as an initial step towards its formalization and subsequent transformation into an ontology. It also explains how the information in EcoLexicon can be integrated in environmental ontologies such as ENVO (Buttigieg, Morrison, Smith, Mungall & Lewis, 2013; Buttigieg, Pafilis, Lewis, Schildhauer, Walls & Mungall, 2016), particularly at the bottom tiers of the Ontology Learning Layer Cake (Cimiano, 2006; Cimiano, Maedche, Staab & Volker, 2009). The assumption is that frames, as a conceptual modeling tool, and information extracted from corpora can be used to represent the conceptual structure of a specialized domain.

Published: March 2024

Evidence in the literature indicates that aerobic physical activity may have a protective role in aging pathologies. However, it has not been clarified whether different types of aerobic exercise produce different effects. In particular, these potential differences have not been explored in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The present narrative review has the specific aim of evaluating whether land (walking/running) and water (swimming) aerobic activities exert different effects on cognitive functions and neural correlates in AD patients. In particular, the investigation is carried out by comparing the evidence provided from studies on AD animal models and on patients. On the whole, we ascertained that both human and animal studies documented beneficial effects of land and water aerobic exercise on cognition in AD. Also, the modulation of numerous biological processes is documented in association with structural modifications. Remarkably, we found that aerobic activity appears to improve cognition per se, independently from the specific kind of exercise performed. Aerobic exercise promotes brain functioning through the secretion of molecular factors from skeletal muscles and liver. These molecular factors stimulate neuroplasticity, reduce neuroinflammation, and inhibit neurodegenerative processes leading to amyloid-β accumulation. Additionally, aerobic exercise improves mitochondrial activity, reducing oxidative stress and enhancing ATP production. Aerobic activities protect against AD, but implementing exercise protocols for patients is challenging. We suggest that health policies and specialized institutions should direct increasing attention on aerobic activity as lifestyle modifiable factor for successful aging and age-related conditions.

Published: March 2024

Background: While mid-life hypertension represents a risk factor for the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the risk after the age of 65 is less certain. Establishing relationships between late life hypertension and the pathological changes of AD could be crucial in understanding the relevance of blood pressure as a risk factor for this disorder. Objective: We investigated associations between self-reported late-life hypertension, cognitive status and AD pathology at death. The impact of antihypertensive medication was also examined. Methods: Using the Cornell Medical Index questionnaire, we ascertained whether participants had ever reported hypertension. We also noted use of antihypertensive medication. The donated brains of 108 individuals were assessed for AD pathology using consensus guidelines. Statistical analysis aimed to elucidate relationships between hypertension and AD pathology. Results: We found no associations between self-reported hypertension and cognitive impairment at death. However, those with hypertension were significantly more likely to exhibit lower levels of AD pathology as measured by Thal phase, Braak stage, CERAD score, and NIA-AA criteria—even after controlling for sex, level of education and presence of APOE ɛ4 allele(s). No significant associations could be found when examining use of antihypertensive medications. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that late-life hypertension is associated with less severe AD pathology. We postulate that AD pathology may be promoted by reduced cerebral blood flow.

Published: March 2024

Humans have evolved to seek social connections, extending beyond interactions with living beings. The digitization of society has led to interactions with non-living entities, such as digital companions, aimed at supporting mental well-being. This literature review surveys the latest developments in digital companions for mental health, employing a hybrid search strategy that identified 67 relevant articles from 2014 to 2022. We identified that by the nature of the digital companions’ purposes, it is important to consider person profiles for: a) to generate both person-oriented and empathetic responses from these virtual companions, b) to keep track of the person’s conversations, activities, therapy, and progress, and c) to allow portability and compatibility between digital companions. We established a taxonomy for digital companions in the scope of mental well-being. We also identified open challenges in the scope of digital companions related to ethical, technical, and socio-technical points of view. We provided documentation about what these issues mean, and discuss possible alternatives to approach them.

Published: March 2024

Speech recognition with visual context is a technique that uses digital image processing to detect lip movements within the frames of a video to predict the words uttered by a speaker. Although models with excellent results already exist, most of them are focused on very controlled environments with few speaker interactions. In this work, a new implementation of a model based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is proposed, taking into account image frames and three models of audio usage throughout spectrograms. The results obtained are very encouraging in the field of automatic speech recognition.

Efficient medical information management is essential in today’s healthcare, significantly to automate diagnoses of chronic diseases. This study focuses on the automated identification of diabetic patients through a clinical note classification system. This innovative approach combines rules, information extraction, and machine learning algorithms to promise greater accuracy and adaptability. Initially, the four algorithms evaluated showed similar performance, with Gradient Boosting standing out with an accuracy of 0.999. They were tested on our clinical and oncology notes, where SVM excelled in correctly labeling non-oncology notes with a 0.99. Gradient Boosting had the best average with 0.966. The combination of rules, information extraction, and Random Forest provided the best average performance, significantly improving the classification of clinical notes and reducing the margin of error in identifying diabetic patients. The principal contribution of this research lies in the pioneering integration of rule-based methods, information extraction techniques, and machine learning algorithms for enhanced accuracy in diabetic patient identification. For future work, we consider implementing these algorithms in natural clinical settings to evaluate their practical performance. Additionally, additional approaches will be explored to improve the accuracy and applicability of clinical note-grading systems in healthcare.

Authors: He Xiaorong , Fang Anran , Yu Dejian
Published: March 2024

Electronic commerce (EC) has become the most critical business activity in the world. China has become the world’s largest market for EC. Over the past three decades, numerous researches have examined the current status of the development of monolingual EC research in specific scenarios. However, the paradigm shift in EC development through the analysis of the dynamic evolution of semantic information has not yet been examined, and the distinctions and connections between multilingual EC studies have not yet been established. This study analyzed 16,207 English and 17,850 Chinese EC-related articles from the Web of Science database and CNKI by combining the BERTopic topic model and SBERT sentence embedding-based similarity computations. The results reveal the distributions of global and local topics in the English and Chinese EC literature, analyze the semantic intricacies of topic convergence and evolution across continuous time, as well as the distinctions and connections between English and Chinese topics. Finally, the evolutionary patterns and life cycle of three crucial English and Chinese topics are explored respectively, including their emergence, development, maturity, and decline. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive overview of EC studies from a topic perspective.

Novel fuzzy topologies formed by fuzzy primal frameworks
Authors: Ameen Zanyar A. , Mohammed Ramadhan A. , Al-shami Tareq M. , Asaad Baravan A.
Published: March 2024

This paper introduces a new fuzzy structure named “fuzzy primal.” Then, it studies the essential properties and discusses their basic operations. By applying the q-neighborhood system in a primal fuzzy topological space and the Łukasiewicz disjunction, we establish a fuzzy operator (·) ⋄ on the family of all fuzzy sets, followed by its core characterizations. Next, we use (·) ⋄ to investigate a further fuzzy operator denoted by Cl⋄. To determine a new fuzzy topology from the existing one, the earlier fuzzy operators are explored. Such a new fuzzy topology is called primal fuzzy topology. Various properties of primal fuzzy topologies are found. Among others, the structure of a fuzzy base that generates a primal fuzzy topology. Furthermore, the concept of compatibility between fuzzy primals and fuzzy topologies is introduced, and some equivalent conditions to that concept are examined. It is shown that if a fuzzy primal is compatible with a fuzzy topology, then the fuzzy base that produces the primal fuzzy topology is itself a fuzzy topology.

Parkinson’s Disease is Predominantly a Genetic Disease
Authors: Lim Shen-Yang , Klein Christine
Published: March 2024

The discovery of a pathogenic variant in the alpha-synuclein ( SNCA) gene in the Contursi kindred in 1997 indisputably confirmed a genetic cause in a subset of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Currently, pathogenic variants in one of the seven established PD genes or the strongest known risk factor gene, GBA1, are identified in ∼15% of PD patients unselected for age at onset and family history. In this Debate article, we highlight multiple avenues of research that suggest an important - and in some cases even predominant - role for genetics in PD aetiology, including familial clustering, high rates of monogenic PD in selected populations, and complete penetrance with certain forms. At first sight, the steep increase in PD prevalence exceeding that of other neurodegenerative diseases may argue against a predominant genetic etiology. Notably, the principal genetic contribution in PD is conferred by pathogenic variants in LRRK2 and GBA1 and, in both cases, characterized by an overall late age of onset and age-related penetrance. In addition, polygenic risk plays a considerable role in PD. However, it is likely that, in the majority of PD patients, a complex interplay of aging, genetic, environmental, and epigenetic factors leads to disease development.
Is the correlation of the core muscle performance with shoulder pain and function altered by scapular dyskinesis in subjects with shoulder pain?
Authors: Oliveira Felipe Augusto da Silva , Calixtre Letícia Bojikian , Santos Laís Regina de Holanda , Pitangui Ana Carolina Rodarti , Araújo Rodrigo Cappato de
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: Daily activities that involve upper limb movements require muscle activation from different body parts by transferring forces and energy along the functional kinetic chain. The scapulae connect and transfer forces between the trunk and the upper limbs, so scapular dyskinesis may compromise the performance of the kinetic chain. OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between core muscle performance and shoulder pain and function in individuals with shoulder pain, with and without scapular dyskinesis. METHODS: Data was collected from 77 non-athlete adults aged between 18 and 50 years with shoulder pain, 45 had scapular dyskinesis. Core muscle performance was measured using the prone bridging test (PBT). Shoulder pain and disability were measured by the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and the upper limbs’ stability was assessed by the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST). The peak torque of shoulder external and internal rotators was measured using an isokinetic dynamometer. Multiple linear regression models evaluated the relationship between the PBT and CKCUEST, SPADI, and shoulder rotator strength. RESULTS: Significant correlations were found between the PBT and the SPADI total score (r = – 0.522), pain domain (r = – 0.513), and disability domain (r = – 0.501); normalized score (r = 0.593), and the power (r = 0.624) of the CKCUEST; and peak torque for external (r = 0.256) and internal (r = 0.292) rotations. Scapular dyskinesis did not influence the magnitude of the correlations and predictive values. CONCLUSION: The PBT was correlated with shoulder pain and function, but scapular dyskinesis did not affect the magnitude of these relationships.
Assessment of the availability of medicines under the government program «Affordable Medicines» for patients with mental disorders according to the results of the questionnaire
Authors: Немченко А. С. , Ляденко А. В.
Published: March 2024

According to official data, the government program «Affordable Medicines» (here and further the Program) gradually increases the availability of medicines and services for patients, improves the possibility of patient–doctor communication, which directly affects the quality and efficiency of pharmaceutical care.

During the work, methods of system analysis were used: systematization, scientific generalization, as well as questionnaire survey. The survey of Program participants (doctors, pharmacists, medicines manufacturers and patients) was conducted with the support of the National Health Service of Ukraine (NHSU) during 2022–2023 as part of a scientific and practical study of the availability of medicines under government programs.

According to the results of the analysis, it was established that the percentage of doctors who prescribe medicines under the Program is 71.3% at the primary level and 96.7% at the specialized level of providing medical care, the participation of pharmacies was confirmed by 99.1% of pharmacists, the involvement of manufacturers in the project is 75%, at the same time, only 30.4% of surveyed patients receive medication under the Program. According to the results of the questionnaire, doctors who provide specialized medical care (here and further SMC doctors) in most cases prescribe Escitalopram – 68.7% and Paroxetine – 52.2%, while doctors who provide primary medical care (here and further PMC doctors) prefer Escitalopram – 35.6% and Fluoxetine – 30.5%. The narrow list of INNs that are included in the Program and used for the treatment of depressive disorders forces patients to buy medicines at their own expense.

Electronic document management has simplified the work for 59.7% of SMC doctors and 87.5% of PMC doctors, while 70.9% of SMC doctors conduct telephone consultations, in most cases these are repeat calls, the number of which varies from 2 to 5 per day; 29.1% conduct only personal reception. As for PMC doctors, the percentage of telephone calls has the following distribution: 42.3% have up to 5 calls per day, 44.8% – up to 10 calls daily, and 3.6% more than 10 calls.

In view of the obtained results of the study, the automation of processes allowed to increase the availability of services for patients, to improve communications between participants and to evaluate the obtained results. Resolution of issues at the legislative level, monitoring of processes and popularization of state programs among the population remain important.
Biomedical and Healthtech Innovation: The Dilemma Between Purpose, Current Stakeholder Economics, and “Patient” Benefits / Desires — What Might the Future of Health Look Like?
Authors: Friebe Michael , Haider Sultan
Published: March 2024

This paper discusses the prevailing challenges in healthcare innovation, emphasising the need to prioritise patient benefits over economic gains. It highlights the current focus on incremental improvements rather than disruptive innovations addressing broader health outcomes. There is a disconnect between healthcare stakeholders and patients, exacerbated by opaque economic models and profit-driven incentives. The disparity between high and low-income nations in accessing quality healthcare is also a major issue that needs to be solved. A shift towards a prevention-oriented healthcare system, leveraging technological advancements and interdisciplinary collaboration, should be an additional focus of innovation generation. Sustainable business models aligned with societal well-being and environmental preservation will likely develop initially in parallel to the existing ones. Future health delivery envisions a future healthcare paradigm centred on affordability, accessibility, and equitable distribution of healthcare services with a global purpose to “KEEP EVERYONE AND THE PLANET HEALTHY”.

Our study focuses on the effect of entrepreneurship education on the development of entrepreneurial Mindset among students in the Brevet Technician Specialize (BTS) at the Lycée El Kindy in the provincial directorate of Hay Hassani, Regional Academy of Education and Training of Casablanca -Settat (AREFC-S).

Our choice of BTS students comes from the fact that they are high school graduates who opt for a specialised higher education in fields related to business management, outside of academic institutions.

Our aim is to study the development of the entrepreneurial mindset through entrepreneurship education among these students. In order to do so, and after a diversified bibliographical study in relation to our subject, we opted for a field study by carrying out two surveys, spaced out by one year, on the same students.

- Our first survey is conducted in February 2022 on a sample of 50% of the total number of students in the first year of study at the BTS;

- Our second survey is carried out in February 2023 on the total number of these same students who are in their second year of study at the BTS.

The results of our surveys showed that the more students receive entrepreneurial training and participate in business-related seminars, the more entrepreneurial spirit among BTS students increases. This explains why students in the second year of study at the BTS have a higher intention to become entrepreneurs or business managers.

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on Italian new graduates in the health professions. This study investigated the impact of the pandemic on graduates' experiences with anxiety, depression, clinical placements, and employment readiness.

METHODS: An anonymous online survey was conducted with 200 new graduates in the health professions. The survey collected data on graduates' experiences with anxiety, depression, clinical placements, and employment readiness.

RESULTS: The survey results showed that there were significant disruptions in practical training for new graduates. Graduates also reported changes in their attitudes to patient care, and a significant number had difficulty finding work that matched their gained abilities.

CONCLUSION: The study findings suggest that universities and healthcare institutions need to adapt their training programs and support structures to accommodate the particular challenges that students in the health professions face during a pandemic. To assist effective transitions into the workforce, practical training opportunities should be maximized, mental health support services should be improved, and career counselling should be offered.

IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The findings of this study have implications for the practice of teaching and supporting new graduates in the health professions. Universities and healthcare institutions need to be aware of the challenges that these graduates face, and they need to take steps to mitigate these challenges. By providing comprehensive support to new graduates, universities and healthcare institutions can help to ensure that these graduates are well-prepared to enter the workforce and to provide high-quality care to patients.

The article considers the importance of statistical methods for such an important component of the budget as tax revenues. The main attention is paid to the theoretical aspects of the methodology of statistical analysis of tax revenues. The research was conducted on the basis of the analysis of domestic and foreign literary sources, statistical data. It has been established that despite the large number of studies on this topic, the interest in statistical data processing is only growing, especially due to the huge amount of information that requires correct and effective processing and making the right management decisions. It was established that in order to build an effective model of statistical analysis, it is necessary to research the object of analysis, the factors influencing it, as well as the methods that will be the most effective and optimal in the research process. The main groups of factors that influence the amount of tax revenues, including groups of economic, political-legal, demographic and socio-cultural factors have been identified. In particular, such main factors as: the level of economic development of the country as a whole and individual administrative units; average salary level; the level of tax capacity of the population and GDP redistribution; inflation rate; availability of communal enterprises and communally owned objects; availability of financial sanctions and tax benefits; the stability of the tax system is the essence of tax policy: population size; the share of the employed population and the level of unemployment. Attention is focused on methods of statistical analysis of tax revenues, namely: methods of descriptive statistics (calculation of average values, median, coefficient of variation); methods of correlation analysis to identify relationships between factors and performance indicators; time series methods for forecasting tax revenues in the future. It provides its own vision regarding the application of specific static methods specifically for the analysis of tax revenues.

The paper is devoted to the prospects for the development of Ukraine's cooperation with the EU’s countries in the field of labor migration regulation. It is established that in current time the international labor migration is one of the most characteristic manifestations of the globalization of the world economy due to the fact that now the number of recipient countries is about 67 units in comparison with 39 units a few decades ago, while the number of donor countries has increased from 29 to 55 units. It was determined that the main reasons for such changes are: global political crises and changes in the world coordinate system. The hypothesis was proposed and confirmed that, given the objective factors, including the political and the presence of the armed conflict in the country, emigration will only increase in the near future due to the state of the economy and the desire to receive material income. The cause-and-effect relationships between migration and the socio-economic state of the economy are considered by analyzing its main indicators, among them such as: population size, birth rate, education level and retention rate. The hypothesis was put forward and proved that the amount of the earned salary is one of the reasons for voluntary dismissal or reluctance to extend the employment contract. The geographical mapping of labor migrants from Ukraine in the countries of the world was studied. Key macroeconomic variables such as GDP growth, (un)employment, remittance flows, international development aid and foreign direct investment are identified, which are crucial to understanding the effects of migration as they provide an overview of the economic situation of any country. The forecast values of GDP growth and GDP per capita of Ukraine was analysed in the context of putting forward a hypothesis regarding for the further migration tendencies. The necessity of regulating the negative consequences for the Ukrainian economy in order to counteract its decline in the future due to the decreasing in the number of economically active population in the future, which are the main producers of the country's GDP, has been established.
