Medical Image Compression Utilizing The Serial Differences and ‎Coding Techniques
Authors: Salman Ghalib Ahmed , Ahmed Ahmed , HUSSEN HAREER MOAIAD
Published: February 2025

Different medical devices for imaging used by centers and clinics produce an increasing number of sequential medical images. ‎Different imaging techniques such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Fluoroscopy ‎produce a set of series for the same patient. Within these images, most of the image parts are fixed against noticeable changes ‎in the remaining part. This consumes non-ignorable storage space. This paper proposes a near-lossless compression ‎technique that considers the fixed image parts to focus on changing parts for a higher compression ratio. In some applications, lossless compression techniques are highly preferable against preferring lossy techniques in some applications. In other applications, near-lossless compression techniques are preferable to lossless and lossy compression techniques, where lossy ones may ‎lose significant details, and the lossless ones produce less compression ratios than near-lossless ones. Previous works dealt with Fluoroscopy images as individual images or using ‎video compression techniques. This work tends to handle the whole series of ‎images as an integrated object. This paper considers subtracting successive ‎images to detect ROI areas producing zero overall values over similar ‎areas and non-zero ones within ROI ones. The double coding technique and near-lossless concept of compression increase the compression ratio. ‎Conducted experiments showed encouraging results benchmarking the other published ‎works in medical image compression.‎

Enantia chlorantha (EC) is sought after by the rural communities in South Western Nigeria and some other African countries for the treatment of many ailments. Despite its widespread use, the phytochemical and the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) screening of the fermented maize aqueous extract remain undetermined. This study was carried out with the aim to evaluate the phytochemical and GC-MS analysis of the plant stem bark. The phytochemical screening was carried out using standard methods while the identification and the quantification of the bioactive components were determined by GC-MS single-phase ion mode and the spectra from the detected compounds were matched with known compounds of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The qualitative phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids and steroids in the extracts. Thirty-seven (37) bioactive chemical constituents were identified by GC-MS. Out of these, thirty-one (31) were fatty acids and its derivatives. These bioactive constituents include Oleic acid (29.98%), n-Hexadecanoic acid (18.59 %), Eicosanoic acid (7.34%), 2-Methyl-4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen–1-yl)-2-butenal (6.03%) and 17-(acetyloxy)-, (4. beta.)- 18-Oxokauran-17-yl acetate Kauran-18-al (3.19%) as the predominant. The study revealed that the fermented maize aqueous extract of E. chlorantha stem bark have appreciable amount of pharmacologically important phytochemicals and the bioactive chemical constituents present in the extract may also serve as potential drug target for drug discovery and development. Fermented maize water may also be used as solvent of choice apart from water and alcohol.

Aims: We aimed to evaluate the presence of TERT promoter region mutations in transitional epithelial cell bladder cancer by analyzing the h-TERT mutation in high and low-grade tumors and to compare it with the clinicopathological data of the patients.
Methods: A total of 90 patients diagnosed with bladder cancer, 60 with low-grade tumors and 30 with high-grade tumors were included in this study. To detect mutations in the TERT gene in the DNA samples obtained, the most frequently mutated region of the gene was amplified by PCR using forward and reverse primers and mutation analysis was performed by sequence analysis.
Results: TERT promoter mutation was positive in 38 and negative in 22 out of 60 patients in the low grade group, and positive in 26 and negative in 4 out of 30 patients in the high grade group. Patients with high-grade tumors were 1.940 times more likely to be TERT promoter mutation positive than low-grade patients (p=0.027)
Conclusion: When interpreted together with other studies that have obtained significant results that TERT mutation analysis can be used in diagnosis, tumor grading and follow-up, it is thought that it can be used in the grading and follow-up algorithm.

Published: February 2025

Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) is one of the serious complications of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of many hematological malignancies. Skin, liver, and eyes are frequently affected areas. In addition to frequently affected areas, genital region involvement can also be seen. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is one of the definitive treatments for hematological malignancies seen in the young age group. And its use for therapeutic purposes in young patients is increasing daily. Vulvovaginal GVHD is a disease type that concerns female patients of reproductive age. In this case report, we wanted to report in the literature a case that underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation after CML diagnosis and TKI resistance and then developed vulvovaginal GVHD. In vaginal disease involvement; in addition to many genitourinary complaints, many negativities in sexual life and deterioration in quality of life are experienced. The chronic GVHD patient we treated is currently continuing her treatment response follow-ups. Our aim in presenting this case to the literature is to emphasize that GVHD should be included in the differential diagnosis in female patients with hematological disease and vaginal involvement.
Enhancing Resilience Against War-Related Disinformation: Insights from Diagnostic Studies and Interventions at Polish Schools
Authors: MOLEK-KOZAKOWSKA Katarzyna
Published: February 2025

This paper reports on design and results of implementation of a series of diagnostic studies and interventions devoted to building up resilience against disinformation regarding the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, with a special focus on Polish teenagers. The initiative, called DisInfoResist, was conducted in the spring of 2024, and was motivated by the need to engage in co-creation with partner schools in order to propose a series of tailored actions given the ongoing hybrid war. However, adequate resilience-enhancing interventions can only be based on a thorough diagnosis of needs and competence gaps. Such diagnosis was undertaken in DisInfoResist with localized data collected through thematic analysis of 20 oral histories, 2 focus group sessions and 87 narrative auto-ethnographies. The subsequent piloted interventions addressed to a group of Polish secondary school students represented a way to boost their resilience against war-related disinformation by allowing them to practice their critical media literacy competences via a variety of specifically tailored activities related to critical language awareness, responding to fake news, overcoming disengagement, recognizing sensationalist media practices and algorithmic patterns.

Recycling and Utilization of Disposed Lithium-Ion Batteries in Poland and Neighboring Countries
Authors: CZERNIAK Jacek , HNATYSZAK Olga , GACEK Anna , DUBIS Damian
Published: February 2025

The dynamic economic progress, burgeoning market for electronic products, and increasing reliance on portable energy sources have driven a rapid expansion of the lithium-ion battery industry within European Union (EU) countries. Projected production capacity is set to exceed 500 GWh by 2030, a significant rise from just over 70 GWh in 2022. However, this growth is paralleled by a substantial increase in post-consumer battery waste, necessitating advancements in recycling technologies and infrastructure. Investments in the EU recycling sector have surged in recent years to address this challenge. Neighboring countries, including Ukraine, are experiencing similar trends, with rising demand for lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles, especially used models, facilitated by policies such as the exemption from customs duties on imported electric cars (Верховна Рада України, 2022). Given the geographic proximity and shared environmental risks, this study examines the waste management practices for lithium-ion batteries in EU-bordering countries. Findings reveal that recycling initiatives in these nations remain underdeveloped, leading to improper disposal of used batteries, which poses significant ecological threats to both local and regional ecosystems. Collaborative efforts between EU countries and their neighbors, such as Ukraine, Romania, and Poland, offer promising pathways for addressing this issue. By channeling used batteries to established EU recycling facilities, environmental hazards can be mitigated, and critical secondary materials like cobalt and lithium can be recovered. Such cooperation not only aligns with EU strategic goals to reduce dependency on external imports but also strengthens resource security within the region.

Published: February 2025

Abstract. The interactions of metabolically active atmospheric microorganisms with cloud organic matter can alter the atmospheric carbon cycle. Upon deposition, atmospheric microorganisms can influence microbial communities in surface Earth systems. However, the metabolic activities of cultivable atmospheric microorganisms in settled habitats remain less understood. Here, we cultured typical bacterial and fungal species isolated from the urban atmosphere using tryptic soy broth (TSB) and Sabouraud dextrose broth (SDB), respectively, and investigated their exometabolites to elucidate their potential roles in biogeochemical cycles. Molecular compositions of exometabolites were analyzed using ultrahigh-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Annotation through the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database helped identify metabolic processes. Results showed that bacterial and fungal strains produced exometabolites with lower H / C and higher O / C ratios compared with both consumed and resistant compounds. As CHON compounds are abundant in both TSB (85 %) and SDB (78 %), CHON compounds also constituted over 50 % of the identified exometabolite formulas. Bacterial strains produced more abundant CHONS compounds (25.2 %), while fungal exometabolites were rich in CHO compounds (31.7 %). These microbial exometabolites predominantly comprised aliphatic/peptide-like and carboxyl-rich alicyclic molecule (CRAM)-like compounds. Significant variations in metabolites were observed among different microbial strains. Bacteria exhibited proficiency in amino acid synthesis, while fungi were actively involved in amino acid metabolism, transcription, and expression processes. Lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism varied widely among bacterial strains, while fungi exhibited notable differences in carbohydrate metabolism and secondary metabolism. This study provides new insights into the transformation and potential oxidative capacity of atmospheric microorganisms concerning organic matter at air–land/water interfaces. These findings are pivotal for assessing the biogeochemical impacts of atmospheric microorganisms in clouds or following their deposition.
Process-based modelling of multi-decade carbon dynamics of a cool temperate swamp

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Swamps are important wetlands globally, but temperate swamps have been understudied even though they store substantial quantity of carbon (C) in their biomass and can accumulate peat. This stored C supports their role as nature-based solutions in climate change mitigation efforts. In particular, Southern Ontario swamps are estimated to store ~1.1 Pg C under distinct hydroclimatic conditions. Previous studies on temperate swamp C fluxes are mostly based on short-term (<5 years) field measurements that limit our understanding of the multi-decadal dynamics that exist between this ecosystem’s C flux and biophysical conditions. To elucidate the long-term interactions and feedbacks that are important to temperate swamp C dynamics, we adopted a process-based model (CoupModel) to simulate daily plant processes, energy, water and C fluxes in one of the most well-preserved swamps in Southern Ontario over a 40-year period (1983–2023). CoupModel reasonably simulated the C flux and controlling variables with coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.60, 0.95 & 0.61 for soil respiration, surface soil temperature (0–5cm) and water table level respectively when validated with field measurements. Over the simulation period, the swamp’s C uptake capacity as net ecosystem exchange declined but it maintained a net C sink in most years. This declining trend can be attributed to a consistent rise in soil respiration (11 % per decade) that is likely to continue with future climate change predictions. Overall, the study shows that processed-based models are effective tools for improving our understanding of long-term C dynamics of temperate swamps.

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Many Reduced complexity climate models (RCMs) and Earth System Models (ESMs) use prescribed concentrations or Effective Radiative Forcing (ERF) of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and tropospheric aerosols as inputs for projections. Revisions to these datasets, made in Chapter 7 and Annex III of the Sixth IPCC Assessment Report: The Physical Science Basis (AR6, 2021) are vital to ensure the accuracy of climate model forecasts. AR6 provided updates to the formulation of ERF for most GHGs and tropospheric aerosols, relative to values in AR5 (2013). In this work, we provide a comprehensive assessment of how the changes to the ERF datasets impact projections of future warming, using our multiple linear regression energy balance RCM, the Empirical Model of Global Climate (EM-GC). We provide an analysis of the rate of human−induced warming (AAWR) between 1974 and 2014, and Effective Climate Sensitivity (EffCS) from the regression to the observation-based historical climate record with ERF datasets predating the AR6 report (which we term Baseline Framework) and AR6 ERF data (AR6 Framework). Probabilistic projections on future warming that consider the uncertainty in the magnitude of climate feedback and ERF from tropospheric aerosols are provided for four policy-relevant Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios. We find AAWR within the AR6 Framework to be 0.18 [0.13 to 0.21 °C decade−1, 5−95 % range], a slight increase to the values of 0.16 [0.12 to 0.20 °C decade−1] within the Baseline Framework. The central estimate of EffCS is found to be nearly identical between the two Frameworks, but a narrower range is found for the AR6 Framework at 2.29 [1.54 to 3.11 °C, 5−95 % range] relative to 2.26 [1.45 to 4.37 °C] within the Baseline Framework. We find Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS) to be 3.24 [1.92 to 5.15 °C] for the AR6 best estimate of the pattern effect. Our estimates of AAWR, EffCS and ECS are highly consistent with recent studies and observationally constrained CMIP6 model output. Projections of future warming for the AR6 Framework compared to the Baseline Framework show an increase of 0.2 to 0.4 °C in the end-of century median warming for the SSP scenarios studied. This increase corresponds to a significantly lowered possibility of accomplishing the goals of the Paris Agreement (PA). In particular, the SSP2−4.5 scenario, that is widely considered to be consistent with current climate policies, only offers an 8 % chance of accomplishing the PA upper limit of 2.0 °C warming by the end of the century within the AR6 Framework.
Flood exposure of environmental assets

Abstract. Environmental assets provide important benefits to society and support the equilibrium of natural processes. They can be affected by floods; however, flood risk analyses usually neglect environmental areas due to (i) a lack of agreement on what should be considered an environmental asset, (ii) a poor understanding of environmental values, and (iii) the absence of damage models. The aim of this work is to advance the understanding of environmental exposure to river floods by first identifying asset typologies that could be considered in flood risk analyses and second by introducing a method, named EnvXflood, to estimate flood exposure qualitative values of environmental assets. The method is structured around three levels of detail requiring increasing information, from a fast and minimal-resource analysis suitable for regional assessment to a detailed ecosystem-service-based site analysis. Exposure focuses on the social and environmental value of the assets. Social values were investigated by means of a participatory approach. The method was tested on three case studies in Italy (the Tuscany region, Chiana Basin, and Orcia Basin). The ecosystem service weighting obtained from the participatory approach highlights the perceived leading importance of the biodiversity-supporting service. The results of the analyses show that environmental assets related to water, such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands, are the most exposed to floods. However, they are commonly not considered exposed assets in typical river management practices. Further research should aim at consolidating the asset typologies to be included in environmental exposure analysis and their social and ecological value, moving towards a coherent understanding of environmental flood impacts.
Causes of the exceptionally high number of fatalities in the Ahr valley, Germany, during the 2021 flood
Authors: Rhein Belinda , Kreibich Heidi
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Over the last 40 years (1980–2020), 159 people died in inland floods in Germany. The flood of 2021 caused 190 flood fatalities in Germany, 134 of them in the Ahr valley. We investigate what made this event so deadly in order to help improve flood risk management and prevent future fatalities. A comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing the occurrence of fatalities is carried out on the basis of the death investigation files of the public prosecutor's office. This unprecedented flash flood was characterised by high water levels and high flow velocities. The extent of inundation in 2021 far exceeded the official hazard map for the extreme flood scenario. Additionally, early warning and evacuation were inadequate, so many people were surprised by the flash flood. Of the total fatalities, 75 % occurred outside of the mapped hazard zones. Particularly dangerous places were campsites, cellars and basement flats, but many people died on the ground floor (37 %) or outside on the street (18 %). The elderly above 60 years of age (78 %) and those with mobility or cognitive impairments (16 %) were particularly vulnerable. No gender-specific differences in vulnerability were observed. Thus, the main causes for the exceptionally high number of fatalities were the extreme severity of the flood and its underestimation by the population and authorities, as well as inadequate early warning and evacuation. Consequently, public understanding of the particular danger posed by flash floods must be improved, as must the development and presentation of worst-case scenarios in hazard maps. Additionally, impact forecasting can significantly improve emergency management of such unprecedented floods. Specific recommendations for disaster management are (1) that in the event of such extreme flash floods, the warning messages must focus on saving human lives – i.e. those at risk must be advised to move to safe places, e.g. to the upper floors, instead of trying to save belongings – and (2) evacuations must be initiated in good time, especially where flooding of the ground floor with high water levels is to be expected, paying particular attention to the safety of the elderly and people with limited mobility.
Effects of moss restoration on surface runoff and initial soil erosion in a temperate vineyard

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Soil erosion threatens soil fertility and food security worldwide, with agriculture being both a cause and a victim. Vineyards are particularly at risk due to the often steep slopes and detrimental management practices such as fallow interlines and bare soil under the vines. Therefore, the search for alternative management practices becomes vital, and vegetation covers, including mosses, have the potential to reduce soil erosion. However, research on moss restoration as an erosion control method is still in its infancy, and this form of erosion control has never been applied in vineyards. It is thus unclear whether moss restoration can be implemented in vineyards. In this study, the restoration of mosses was investigated by applying artificially cultivated moss mats in a temperate vineyard. The effects of moss restoration on surface runoff and sediment discharge were examined compared to bare soil and cover crops using rainfall simulation experiments (45 mm h−1 for 30 min) with small-scale runoff plots at three measurement times during 1 year (April, June, and October). Mosses initially showed considerable desiccation in summer, whereupon their growth declined. In October, the mosses recovered and re-established themselves in the vineyard, showing a high level of resistance. Moss restoration significantly reduced surface runoff by 71.4 % and sediment discharge by 75.8 % compared with bare soils. While moss restoration reduced surface runoff slightly more and sediment discharge slightly less compared with cover crops (68.1 % and 87.7 %, respectively), these differences were not statistically significant. Sediment discharge varied seasonally for moss restoration, especially from April to June; this is most likely due to the decline in moss cover and the foliage of the vines in June, as concentrated canopy drip points form on the leaves and woody surfaces of the vines, increasing erosion. Overall, moss restoration proved to be an appropriate and low-maintenance alternative for erosion control, as it requires no mowing or application of herbicides. However, future research should address challenges such as preventing moss mats from drying out in summer; developing methods for large-scale application; and evaluating whether mosses significantly impact soil water content, potentially reducing water availability for vines.

O presente trabalho apresenta os desdobramentos da pesquisa de Iniciação Científica na Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo sobre o currículo de psicologia daquela universidade. Foi realizada pesquisa documental com o Projeto Pedagógico do Curso e os planos de ensino do segundo semestre de 2022, a fim de analisar o projeto com ênfase na presença ou ausência de autoras/es negras/os, bem como indígenas e trans. A partir das análises dos dados foi possível perceber que o Projeto Pedagógico do Curso reflete o pacto narcísico da branquitude, na medida em que é demarcado pela ausência de outras autoras/es negras/os, indígenas e trans. Assim, torna-se necessário compreender a ação dos movimentos sociais enquanto movimentos de educadores, além de promotores de sujeitos insurgentes a partir das práxis de cada movimento.

Published: February 2025

Este artigo visa apresentar revisão sistemática sobre produções científicas na área da Educação e afins, no período entre 2012 e 2022 acerca da situação educacional das crianças com deficiência acolhidas, para compreender o contexto educacional e a função social da escola. Nas bases do Portal CAPES e Scielo, dos 255 títulos localizados, 34 artigos foram selecionados e analisados na íntegra. Visto a escassez de produções sobre a situação educacional das crianças com deficiência acolhidas - somente 4 publicações - foi preciso ampliar o escopo para a situação educacional das crianças acolhidas em geral. Diante dessa lacuna na agenda de pesquisa, é urgente a realização de pesquisas que criem indicadores para a formulação de políticas intersetoriais voltadas ao atendimento desse público.

INFÂNCIAS EM SITUAÇÃO DE RUA: INVISIBILIZAÇÃO, EDUCAÇÃO E SOBREVIVÊNCIA
Authors: Queiroz Caroline Trapp de
Published: February 2025

Este artigo visa colocar em discussão o lugar-não-lugar das crianças que vivem em situação de rua na cidade do Rio de Janeiro e as tensões delineadas a partir da presença-ausência da educação em suas experiências de infância. Para isso, serão analisados dados sistematizados por diferentes instituições e crônicas produzidas a partir do encontro entre pesquisadora e crianças nas ruas da cidade, a fim de conhecer e dar a ver os sujeitos e suas existências por trás dos números. Argumenta-se que, embora a marginalização dessas infâncias se estruture na correlação entre diferentes configurações de crise, negação de direitos e processos de invisibilização, a educação construída nas ruas produz estratégias que viabilizam relações de filiação, garantem ajuda mútua e constituem famílias por meio do afeto enquanto elemento de luta e manutenção da vida.

Published: February 2025

O presente artigo resulta da análise bibliográfica de produções científicas relacionando os temas desenho universal para a aprendizagem e audiodescrição. Sob uma perspectiva que considera essa tecnologia assistiva como uma ferramenta com grande potencial para assegurar o acesso, indistintamente, de todos os aprendizes aos recursos visuais, tão presentes em todos os campos e contextos da sociedade, com destaque para o espaço acadêmico. O desenho universal sugere a promoção de ambientes acessíveis para todos, e é com esta visão que se desenvolveu esta análise, com uma abordagem exploratória e com o objetivo principal de divulgar a audiodescrição como ferramenta que precisa ser inserida na prática pedagógica em sentido amplo, não restringindo apenas para o público da educação especial, mas também, porém como uma estratégia de inclusão universal. E com sugestão de estratégia para a efetivação deste elo, sugere-se ao docente a audiodescrição das representações no livro didático, por ser um recurso que se faz presente no material escolar de todos os estudantes da educação básica.
