Identifying biomarkers of mycotoxin effects in chickens will provide an opportunity for early intervention to reduce the impact of mycotoxicosis. This study aimed to identify whether serum enzyme concentrations, gut integrity, and liver miRNAs can be potential biomarkers for fumonisin B1 (FB1), deoxynivalenol (DON), and zearalenone (ZEA) toxicity in broiler birds as early as 14 days after exposure. A total of 720 male broiler chicks were distributed to six treatment groups: T1: control group (basal diet), T2 (2 FB1 + 2.5 DON + 0.9 ZEA), T3 (5 FB1 + 0.4 DON + 0.1 ZEA), T4 (9 FB1 + 3.5 DON + 0.7 ZEA), T5 (17 FB1 + 1.0 DON + 0.2 ZEA), and T6 (21 FB1 + 3.0 DON + 1.0 ZEA), all in mg/kg diet. On d14, there were no significant differences in the body weight gain (BWG) of mycotoxin treatment groups when compared to the control (p > 0.05), whereas on d21, T6 birds showed significantly reduced BWG compared to the control (p < 0.05). On d14, birds in T6 showed significant upregulation of liver miRNAs, gga-let-7a-5p (14.17-fold), gga-miR-9-5p (7.05-fold), gga-miR-217-5p (16.87-fold), gga-miR-133a-3p (7.41-fold), and gga-miR-215-5p (6.93-fold) (p < 0.05) and elevated serum fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FITC-d) concentrations, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and creatine kinase (CK) levels compared to the control (p < 0.05). On d21, T2 to T6 birds exhibited reduced serum phosphorus, glucose, and potassium, while total protein, FITC-d, AST, and CK levels increased compared to control (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that serum FITC-d, AST, CK, and liver miRNAs could serve as biomarkers for detecting mycotoxin exposure in broiler chickens.

Authors: Anoyatbekova Afshona , Yuzhakov Anton
Published: December 2024

Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) was first identified in 2015 in North America by high-throughput sequencing. APPV is associated with congenital tremor A-II and is widely distributed worldwide. In this study, a total of 2630 samples of domestic pigs obtained from 14 regions of Russia from 2020 to 2024 were screened for APPV presence by qRT-PCR. APPV was detected in 12 farms located in eight regions. The overall positive rate was 8.8%. It has been established that APPV has been circulating in Russian swine herds since at least 2020. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the Russian isolates are variable and assigned into three clusters. The isolates from the Krasnoyarsk Krai, Belgorod, Tomsk, and Kursk regions and the Republic of Buryatia share a high nucleotide identity (94.3–98.8%) with the Hungarian strains, while the isolates from the Moscow and Pskov regions share a nucleotide identity (89.2–94.3%) with strains from the USA. The isolate from the Republic of Mordovia has a high nucleotide identity (97.1%) with the South Korean strain. In vitro studies of the Russian isolates revealed the replication of the Belgorod 151 strain in SPEV cells. Thus, this is the first large-scale study that confirms the circulation of APPV in swine herds in Russia and describes its isolation in cell culture.

Published: December 2024

Background/Objectives: Adenoviral vector-based vaccines against COVID-19 rarely cause vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (VITT), a severe adverse reaction caused by IgG antibodies against platelet factor 4 (PF4). To study VITT, patient samples are crucial but have become a scarce resource. Recombinant antibodies (rAbs) derived from VITT patient characteristic amino acid sequences of anti-PF4 IgG are an alternative to study VITT pathophysiology. Methods: Amino acid sequences of the variable region of immunoglobulin light and heavy chain of anti-PF4 IgG derived from VITT patients were obtained by mass spectrometry sequencing and rAbs were synthetized by reverse-engineering. Six different rAbs were produced: CR23003, CR23004, and CR23005 (from a patient vaccinated with Jcovden, Johnson & Johnson-Janssen (Beerse, Belgium)), CR22046, and CR22050 and CR22066 (from two different patients vaccinated with Vaxzevria, AstraZeneca (Cambridge, UK)). These rAbs were further characterized using anti-PF4 and anti-PF4/heparin IgG ELISAs, rapid anti-PF4 and anti-PF4/polyanion chemiluminescence assays, and PF4-induced platelet activation assay (PIPA) and their capacity to induce procoagulant platelets. Results: rAbs bound to PF4 alone, but not to PF4/polyanion complexes in rapid chemiluminescence assays. Chemiluminescence assays and both anti-PF4 IgG and anti-PF4 IgG/heparin ELISA showed concentration-dependent PF4 binding of all six rAbs, however, with different reactivities among them. PIPA showed a similar, concentration-dependent platelet activation pattern. rAbs varied in their reactivity and the majority of the tested rAbs were able to induce procoagulant platelets. Conclusions: The six rAbs derived from VITT patients reflect VITT-typical binding capacities and the ability to activate platelets. Therefore, these rAbs offer an attractive new option to study VITT pathophysiology.

Published: December 2024

Background: The influenza virus’s high mutation rate requires the annual reformulation and administration of the vaccine. Therefore, its vaccine effectiveness (VE) must be evaluated annually. Aim: Estimate the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine and analyze the impact of age, seasonal variations, and the vaccination to sample collection interval on VE. Methods: The study used a test-negative case–control (TNCC) design to collect data from patients under 18 years of age who presented with acute respiratory infection (ARI) symptoms and underwent influenza virus testing at a national children’s regional medical center in Guangdong Province between October 2021 and January 2024, spanning three influenza seasons. VE was estimated using unconditional logistic regression. Results: A total of 27,670 patient data entries were analyzed. The VE against all influenza viruses across the three seasons was 37% (95% CI: 31–43), with the lowest VE of 24% (95% CI: 8–37) observed in the 2021–2022 season. In children aged 0.5 to <3 years, the VE was 32% (95% CI: 19–43). The effectiveness for samples collected at intervals of 0.5–2 months, 3–6 months, and over 6 months after vaccination was 39% (95% CI: 32–46), 30% (95% CI: 19–40), and 28% (95% CI: 5–46). Conclusions: Across three influenza seasons, at least one-third of vaccinated individuals were protected from influenza in outpatient settings. Given that children are at high risk, improving vaccination management is recommended, and parents should be encouraged to vaccinate their children before each influenza season.

Published: December 2024

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted routine child immunization efforts, threatening to reverse progress in controlling vaccine-preventable diseases. Materials and Methods: We analyzed the impact of COVID-19 on DTP3 vaccination in Europe by comparing trends before and after the pandemic using time series data from 2000 to 2023. Employing joinpoint regression, chi-square tests, and segmented regression analysis, we assessed DTP3 vaccination trends and coverage changes. Results: The findings revealed significant regional disparities across Europe. Statistical models indicated reductions in DTP3 coverage in countries such as Ireland, Sweden, and Switzerland, whereas Ukraine and San Marino showed improvements. Conclusions: There are variations in the effect of COVID-19 on DTP3 coverage rates, indicating the need for targeted public health strategies to address vaccine hesitancy, logistical barriers, and systemic inequities.

Published: December 2024

The accurate prediction of total phosphorus (TP) is crucial for the early detection of water quality eutrophication. However, predicting TP concentrations among canal sites is challenging due to their complex spatiotemporal dependencies. To address this issue, this study proposes a GAT-Informer prediction method based on spatiotemporal correlations to predict TP concentrations in the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal Basin in Changzhou City. The method begins by creating feature sequences for each site based on the time lag relationship of total phosphorus concentration between sites. It then constructs spatiotemporal graph data by combining the real river distance between sites and the correlation of feature sequences. Next, spatial features are extracted by fusing node features using the graph attention (GAT) module. The study employs the Informer network, which uses a sparse attention mechanism to extract temporal features efficiently for simulating and predicting total phosphorus data of the sites. The model was evaluated using R2, MAE, and RMSE, with the experimental results yielding values of 0.9619, 0.1489%, and 0.1999%, respectively. The GAT-Informer model exhibits enhanced robustness and superior predictive accuracy in comparison to traditional water quality prediction models.

Published: December 2024

The implementation of large-diameter flood diversion pipelines in urban areas serves as an effective strategy to address urban waterlogging issues, which can enhance the resilience of cities to a certain extent against extreme precipitation events. This case study delineates the Zhengzhou Jinshui River flood diversion project, which employs the ultra-large-buried jacking prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (JPCCP), offering a summary and analysis of the pipe design and construction technologies employed in the JPCCP project within collapsible loess stratum, and the study also analyzes the pull-back scheme of the incident involving the front-end sinking of the machine head. Through on-site monitoring experiments, the variation patterns of contact pressure and slurry pressure of large-diameter JPCCPs were analyzed. The results demonstrate that the trends in contact pressure and slurry pressure exhibit a general consistency. During the jacking process, the pressure around the pipe can be categorized into three distinct phases based on grouting frequency or pressure, with notable variations in the pipe–soil–slurry contact state. The difference between the contact pressure and slurry pressure (termed as effective soil pressure) serves as a more accurate method for determining the pipe’s operational state. Moreover, the effective earth pressure at the pipe top demonstrates a higher degree of consistency with the calculation results prescribed by the standards ATV A161 and ASCE 27.

Published: December 2024

In the last decade, microplastics (MPs) have become a significant environmental pollutant with potential negative effects on aquatic biodiversity and ecosystems. This mesocosm study examined the effect of MPs on the growth and physiology of two common aquatic macrophytes (Myriophyllum spicatum and Phragmites australis), focusing on changes in biomass allocation and nutrient contents. We evaluated oxidative stress responses by measuring superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, soluble sugars, free amino acids, and glutamate synthetase activities for M. spicatum, and we assessed photosynthetic processes through metrics including Fv/Fm, electron transfer rate, and Y(II) for P. australis. Unlike most previous studies in plants, we found that the growth and all functional traits of these two plants were not significantly affected by the common MP type (polyethylene) at either low or high concentrations. Additionally, we have examined the impact of another type of MP (polystyrene) on P. australis, and no significant effect was observed. In conjunction with prior case studies, the majority of which demonstrated the toxic impacts of MPs, our research indicates that plants exhibit a species-specific response to MPs. In addition to the strong adaptation of widespread plants used in this study, the large experimental system and relative long-term treatment may also explain our negative results. Our study highlights the need to further investigate species-specific tolerances and adaptive responses to MPs to better understand their ecological impacts.
A Comparison of ASCE/SEI 7–22 Tornado-Induced Load Provisions for Residential Low-Rise Buildings to Those Evaluated Using Physical Simulation
Authors: Narancio Gabriel , Romanic Djordje , Chowdhury Jubayer , Hong Han-Ping , Hangan Horia
Published: December 2024

In this study, the loads induced by tornado-like vortices on scaled models of eight low-rise residential buildings with real-world shapes in a typical North American community are quantified and compared to the provisions provided by ASCE/SEI 7–22. Physical simulations of the interaction between translating tornado-like vortices representative of EF1-, EF2- and EF3-rated tornadoes and the scaled models were performed in the WindEEE Dome at the University of Western Ontario. Three internal pressure scenarios were numerically simulated. The tornado velocity gust factor was identified as a critical parameter when translating loads from the model to full-scale. The uplift forces on the whole roof in the internal pressure scenarios with one dominant opening are between 44% and 63% higher than the distributed leakage scenario, highlighting the importance of keeping the integrity of the envelope. Revised values of the internal pressure coefficients and external pressure coefficients or correction factors may be used to improve the ability of the standard to provide safer design loads.

Racismo e biopolítica no debate pós-colonial
Authors: De Oliveira Vieira Hector
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo mostrar que colonialismo (ou simplesmente o capitalismo) e racismo como quase-sinônimos: não existem um sem o outro. Em especial, abordaremos os fenômenos da raça e do racismo a partir do diálogo com os conceitos biopolítico (FOUCAULT, 2005) e necropolítico (MBEMBE, 2018) buscando articular com a perspectiva histórica brasileira. Assim, buscamos compreender o racismo pelo viés biopolítico e necropolítico e assim como demonstrar a importância de dar ao racismo um entendimento histórico-filosófico, indicando-o como ferramenta conceitual imprescindível para uma análise consequente dos processos históricos da modernidade que engendram as formas contemporâneas de exercício do poder e da dominação; e finalmente, construir uma base de diálogo com as ciências sociais, principalmente a filosofia, a sociologia e a história, para contribuir com o exame crítico da realidade brasileira, pós e neocolonial.
liberalismos na crise do Estado-Novo:
Authors: Cannone Helio
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo pretende tratar da disputa entre Eugênio Gudin e Roberto Simonsen sobre os rumos do planejamento econômico do Brasil após o fim do Estado Novo e da Segunda Guerra mundial enquanto uma polêmica entre dois tipos de liberalismo. Tendo como suporte teórico as contribuições de Michael Freeden e de José Guilherme Merquior, argumentamos que Eugênio Gudin partia de um liberalismo vinculado a um imaginário político da Primeira República, de matriz economicista, que naturalizava o conceito de mercado e o laissez-faire. Já Roberto Simonsen, seria expressão de um liberalismo de tipo keynesiano que emergiu no Pós-guerra e no qual o Estado é visto como necessário para manter a economia e a sociedade funcionais.

“Laura em aimará”: referências italianas na dinâmica cultural andina proposta por Gamaliel Churata
Authors: Hernando Marsal Meritxell
Published: December 2024

O escritor peruano Gamaliel Churata (1897-1969) incorpora na sua obra personagens e referências italianas que devem ser compreendidas a partir da dinâmica cultural que o autor propõe a partir das culturas andinas, que configuram o eixo discursivo da obra do ponto de vista temático, filosófico e linguístico. Em um primeiro momento, vai ser descrita a militância vanguardista de Churata nos anos vinte na revista Boletín Titikaka  (1926-1930) e o conceito de indoamericanismo desenvolvido por ele, pois implica uma definição da identidade americana fundada no reconhecimento contemporâneo das culturas originárias (com forte crítica ao colonialismo interno das repúblicas americanas) mas aberta à diferença. A seguir, o sistema estético dos tecidos andinos oferecerá modelos de relação, como o tinku e as k’isas, que implicam tensão e metamorfose. Com base nesse paradigma relacional, poderá ser entendido o lugar que a obra de Churata oferece a Dante e Petrarca, onde os versos, personagens e palavras em italiano entram em um diálogo ativo com a concepção andina da morte como semente e continuidade e, em certa forma, se aimarizam.

Temas como o casamento, a relação com o divino, a solidão amorosa, as lutas operárias, as reflexões sobre o desespero da vida, são apenas alguns dos elementos que compõem essa imagem, que se apresenta como um espelho concavo, complementar às vozes mais conhecidas dos escritores a elas contemporâneos.
FRANKENSTEIN
Authors: Faria Marcella
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem como finalidade analisar Frankenstein de Mary Shelley e seu processo de criação à luz dos estudos de Sigmund Freud sobre os sonhos, uma vez que a inspiração para o livro surgiu de um pesadelo e a autora parece ter ressuscitado suas perdas e seus traumas por meio de sua escrita. Para tanto, descreveram-se experiências da vida de Shelley refletidas nessa obra, bem como os sonhos presentes no romance. A análise dos elementos freudianos, assim como os estudos sobre os sonhos, revela que o monstro de Frankenstein pode representar os impulsos sombrios reprimidos por seu criador, o cientista Victor Frankenstein. O estudo também enfoca os papéis maternos e paternos na criação do monstro e destaca a relevância da obra nos tempos atuais, alertando sobre os perigos da ambição humana desmedida. O resultado permitiu concluir que a criação de Shelley poderia ser uma manifestação do seu próprio subconsciente. Logo, o romance não é apenas uma advertência sobre os perigos da ciência, mas também uma exploração psicológica da psique humana e das consequências de reprimir desejos profundos. Por fim, verificou-se que a ação criativa de Shelley levou à internalização de um trauma e à repetição dele em uma forma artística.

Neste artigo, procura-se acompanhar na literatura latina a trajetória da personagem mítica identificada como Ariadne, filha do rei Minos e princesa de Creta. Assim, em Metamorfoses VIII, 172-182, em Heroides X e em Arte de amar I, 525-562, ela foi por vezes moldada com contornos de vítima, ou no mínimo de alguém à mercê da vontade alheia. Mas, no Poema 64 de Catulo e em Fastos III, 459-516 de Ovídio, a mesma personagem surge com traços de força e revolta diante das injustiças que sofre.

Este trabalho objetiva analisar o conto “Boca de lobo”, narrativa que abre o livro Flor de gume (2020a), primeira obra publicada da escritora paraense Monique Malcher que venceu, em 2021, o Prêmio Jabuti. A narrativa é conduzida por uma voz feminina infantil que leva o leitor a um passeio de barco pelos rios barrentos e agitados da região amazônica, em uma tentativa de se descobrir a sua própria identidade. Por isso, este estudo se mostra relevante pelo fato de trazer para a discussão um conto que apresenta em seu enredo a vivência de uma criança ribeirinha, além de dar visibilidade a uma autora nortista que tem ganhado destaque no cenário literário brasileiro mais recente. Primeiramente, a pesquisa discute acerca das contribuições teóricas das áreas da memória e da literatura, para depois analisar a narrativa. Os resultados evidenciam como se manifestam os seguintes aspectos: o autorreconhecimento da narradora, as memórias acionadas por ela e as relações de desigualdade entre os mundos infantis e adultos.
NINGUÉM NASCE PANDORA
Authors: Heidrich Bisol Luciano , Ricardo da Costa José
Published: December 2024

A tradição literária que segrega a mulher remete-nos ao século VII a.C. quando o aedo Hesíodo apresentou a primeira mulher, Pandora, como um belo mal, kalós kakós, uma agente da emissão dos males que afligem a humanidade, narrativa presente em dois poemas, Teogonia e Os trabalhos e os dias. O presente artigo busca recuperar dois estágios decisivos para o construto do mito da femme fatale, entre as representações de Pandora nos poemas de Hesíodo em contraste com a de Helena em As Troianas (c. 415 a.C.) de Eurípides. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam essa aproximação e o artigo defende que há traços arquetípicos comuns entre os dois mitos.
BELO, ALÉM DA BELEZA, E A RECEPÇÃO DO FEMININO GRECO-ROMANO NO CANCIONEIRO PARAIBANO DE CHICO CÉSAR E ZÉ RAMALHO
Authors: Oliveira Silva Edjane Henrique de , Dantas Michelle Bianca Santos
Published: December 2024

No que se refere ao estudo dos mitos, um aspecto que julgamos ser fundamental é o seu alcance universal, como aquele em que se vê o seu direcionamento às mais diversas formas de conhecimentos e culturas. Especialmente, nosso interesse é ainda maior quando essa presença se faz notória na cultura brasileira. Como sabemos, as narrativas míticas são reinterpretadas por diversos autores e artistas, conduzindo criações artísticas que expressam ideias e emoções de maneira poética e simbólica. Além disso, a mitologia oferece uma rica fonte de histórias adaptáveis, permitindo reflexões contemporâneas sobre valores históricos e representativos. E, diante dessa percepção interpretativa e intertextual, artistas como Zé Ramalho, Chico César e Chico Buarque, entre outros, fazem uso dessas histórias mitológicas em suas composições. Com isso, este artigo visa explorar a presença da mitologia nas canções populares, particularmente, nas que expressam uma ênfase nas figuras femininas míticas, como fundamentação de análise da recepção do feminino em sua abordagem, não só na Antiguidade, como nos tempos atuais, de modo que possamos contribuir para uma compreensão do feminino no mundo clássico sob uma perspectiva atemporal. Para tanto, dialogaremos com autores como Martha Robles (2019), Luciana Ferreira Mendonça (s/d), Marta Mega de Andrade (2003), Airan Borges dos Santos (2020), Verônica de Fátima Gomes Moura (2011), Pierre Bourdieu (1989) e Marcus Reis Pinheiro (2010). Com esse propósito, realizaremos a exposição de três tópicos: 1. Além da beleza, a essência do Belo e sua dimensão: contextualização sobre o feminino e o belo na Antiguidade; 2. Entre objetificações e sentidos genuínos: a recepção da mulher da Antiguidade greco-romana no cancioneiro popular de Zé Ramalho e Chico César; 3.  Análise da representação feminina greco-romana em “Mulher nova, bonita e carinhosa”, de Zé Ramalho. Ao longo dos tópicos propostos, abordaremos como cada um se correlaciona entre si, abarcando os métodos de estudo e análise para alcançar tal objetivo de pesquisa
MEMÓRIA MÍTICA COMO MEDIAÇÃO SIMBÓLICA EM MATA TEU PAI, DE GRACE PASSÔ
Authors: Duarte Etiene
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo intenciona localizar em Mata Teu Pai, de Grace Passô (2017), como a memória mítica pode mediar simbolicamente a narrativa no texto dramatúrgico, tomando como base de análise a obra Medeia, de Eurípides, que foi encenada no séc. 431 a.C. Para realizar a comparação entre os dois textos, foi discorrido a respeito da representação do coro, da água e do tribunal dos homens em ambas as obras. Assim, intenta-se localizar, no texto de Passô (2017), como esses símbolos analisados podem evocar a memória mítica, a considerado, neste artigo, como a mediadora da intriga.

O presente estudo tem por objetivo revisitar uma pesquisa realizada em 2014 (P1) que visou observar os hábitos de leitura de cinco leitores voluntários (LVs) com diferentes perfis a fim de compreender suas preferências pelo livro impresso ou o tablet — ou ambos —, para a leitura de crônicas. Agora, em 2023, buscamos averiguar, em uma pesquisa de retomada (P2), se, passados nove anos, suas preferências mudaram e se algum suporte de leitura eletrônico, como o Kindle, da Amazon, foi incorporado em seus cotidianos. Para isso, foi aplicado um questionário contendo sete perguntas, cujas respostas revelaram que a rotina de leitura dos LVs pouco mudou durante esse tempo. A partir do cruzamento de dados, foi possível concluir que os suportes de leituras eletrônicos e os livros em formato digital, comparado aos livros impressos, ainda enfrentam barreiras culturais, sensoriais e até mesmo emocionais.

Published: December 2024

Neste trabalho, apresentamos os resultados do projeto de extensão ‘Divulgação científica, oralidade e formação de professores de Língua Portuguesa”, da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, integrado ao Laboratório brasileiro de oralidade, formação e ensino – LABOR. Para tanto, evidenciamos a importância do trabalho de divulgação científica como mecanismo para possibilitar acesso de professores a conteúdos sobre oralidade, visto que pesquisas constatam uma ausência dessa temática na formação docente (Galvão; Azevedo, 2015; Luna, 2017; Magalhães; Lacerda, 2019). Desse modo, reforçamos a relevância de um trabalho sistematizado em torno dos gêneros orais, que busca romper com a supremacia da escrita. A fim de cumprir com nosso propósito, apresentamos ações desenvolvidas no decorrer do projeto, como a manutenção da página do LABOR no Instagram, com divulgação de resultados de pesquisa, cursos e materiais no eixo da oralidade. Finalmente, refletimos sobre os impactos gerados por essas atividades, tanto para nós quanto para os seguidores do perfil.

Authors: Viana da Silva Rafael
Published: December 2024

Este texto tem como objetivo analisar a perspectiva de Piotr Kropotkin sobre o fenômeno do imperialismo e suas posições estratégicas relativas ao anti-imperialismo. A partir da leitura de diferentes artigos, livros e textos do anarquista russo, buscamos compreender qual é a caracterização que Kropotkin faz desse fenômeno, no período de 1885 a 1918. O artigo busca compreender a relação que Kropotkin estabelece entre o capitalismo industrial e as guerras imperialistas, que em sua concepção, são provocadas prioritariamente pela ação do capitalismo financeiro.
Application of Video Game Algorithm Based on Deep Q-Network Learning in Music Rhythm Teaching
Authors: Zhang Shilian , Huang Zheng , Lang Yalin
Published: December 2024

The difficulty of music rhythm teaching makes its teaching effect limited. Some game algorithms show problems of stuttery and unclear picture when they are introduced into teaching, which greatly restricts the development of teaching content. Therefore, it is proposed to activate the deep Q network and improve the filter to improve the processing performance of game image data and the integrity of information retention. The model fuses the extracted features and processes them through the neural network. According to the performance characteristics and forms of music rhythm, constant Q transformation, dynamic programming algorithm and hidden Markov model are proposed to analyze and design music signal, beat point analysis and signal traveling speed, so as to realize the identification and matching of music rhythm. The performance test and application analysis of the proposed fusion improvement algorithm are carried out: the video game algorithm can effectively extract data feature information, and its accuracy rate is basically 90% or above. The improved Deep Q-network (DQN) and Artificial Fish Swarms Algorithm (AFSA) algorithms can maintain an accuracy of over 75%, followed by the ABC algorithm, which maintains an accuracy of over 70%, but exhibits significant fluctuations in the curve changes and nodes. The recognition accuracy of music signal feature extraction is over 70%, and it is less affected by signal-to-noise ratio. The improved activation function showed that the highest game score exceeded 10 points, while the scores of Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) function and Hyperbolic tangent function (Tanh) function were basically hovering below 5 points, and the overall score curve fluctuated significantly. The recognition accuracy of music signal features extraction is above 70% and is less affected by Signal to Noise Ratio. The algorithm has a good effect of music rhythm teaching, the students' interest in classroom learning is more than 45%, and the learning weakness is less. The average score of students in music style judgment, rhythm division and index is 85 points and 90 points respectively, which is much higher than the 40 points and 63 points of traditional teaching. The proposed algorithm can better combine video games with music teaching and help students improve their learning effect under the gamification teaching method, and has good application value

Published: December 2024

The study is focused on the development of a methodology for calculating the strength of normal and inclined sections of bending reinforced concrete elements that have been exposed to corrosion and reinforced with external composite reinforcement. The study examined concrete structures exposed to an aggressive chloride environment that causes corrosion. The use of a diachronic model of deformation of corrosion-damaged elements made it possible to take into account changes in the mechanical properties of materials during corrosion and to make calculations based on analytical dependencies. Taking into account the external polymer-composite reinforcement helped to improve the strength characteristics of damaged elements. The use of the iterative Picard method ensured the accuracy of calculations. The results of the study showed that the proposed method effectively evaluates the strength of bending reinforced concrete elements subject to corrosion. Taking into account changes in the characteristics of materials and the impact of an aggressive environment ensures high accuracy and reliability of calculations. The use of external reinforcement helps to increase the stability and durability of structures. The developed method is an important tool for improving the operational reliability and extending the service life of reinforced concrete structures exposed to aggressive environments.

Background: Substance use disorders (SUDs) pose substantial challenges to society, creating widespread negative effects. Given their frequent and direct contact with patients, nurses hold a vital position in managing and addressing these disorders. This systematic review aimed to examine nurses’ understanding of substance use and their perceptions of individuals affected by these conditions. Methods: This systematic review involved a comprehensive search of online databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, utilizing relevant keywords up to July 9, 2021. Only studies published in English and aligned with the review’s objectives were considered. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the AXIS tool. Findings: A total of 3273 nurses participated across 12 studies. The results indicated that nurses’ knowledge about substance use was moderate, and their attitudes toward substance users were generally positive. Knowledge-related factors included variables such as age, gender, and work experience. Similarly, age, gender, ethnicity, education level, job position, work experience, participation in workshops on substance use, interest in patient care, hours spent on substance use courses during education, and continuing education hours related to substance use were identified as potential factors influencing attitudes. Conclusion: Therefore, holding workshops and improving guidelines for patient care with SUDs can enhance nurses’ knowledge and attitudes and, ultimately, the quality of nursing care.

Published: December 2024

Background: Most dental anxiety is caused by the pain of local anesthetic injection. Techniques such as acupressure have been introduced to reduce anxiety and pain. This study aimed to investigate the effect of acupressure on the reduction of anxiety and pain during local anesthetic injection in children 5–7 years old. Methods: This triple-blinded clinical trial was conducted on 71 children between the ages of 5 and 7. The children were divided into two groups, and acupressure was performed at key points (Yintang and Hegu) in one group and placebo points in the second group before local anesthesia. Then, the level of anxiety and pain was measured. The tools used to measure dental anxiety and injection pain were the visual analog scale (VAS-A) and FPS-R (Facial Pain Scale-Revised), respectively. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 software by analysis of variance and Wilcoxon test at the significance level of 0.05. Results: The results of the present study showed that acupressure was significantly effective in reducing dental anxiety and injection pain in children (P<0.001). Also, the results showed that the acupressure technique significantly reduced pain in 5- and 6-year-old children but not in 7-year-old children (P value=0.22). Our results indicated that acupressure at the key points significantly reduced anxiety and pain in both genders (P value<0.05). However, the effect was not significant after applying pressure to placebo points. Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, the acupressure technique is significantly effective in reducing anxiety in children 5–7 years old and injection pain in 5- and 6-year-old children in both genders.
