Amplitude do rastreio e diagnóstico do câncer de mama no estado do Piauí e o impacto da pandemia da COVID-19
Authors: Silva Pedro Henrique dos Santos , Basso Fernandes Silva Franciele
Published: September 2024

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a new epidemiological reality worldwide that is responsible for altering the entire dynamics of addressing health issues globally. Cancer management policies were directly impacted, potentially leading to a decline in early case detection and a consequent increase in morbidity and mortality among patients with cancer. Objective: To analyze the impacts of the  pandemic on breast cancer screening measures in the state of Piauí. Method: This epidemiological study used secondary data provided by the Department of Health Information of the Brazilian Unified Health System regarding the performance of mammograms and breast cancer diagnoses in the state of Piauí between 2017 and 2021. Results: Between 2017 and 2019, an average of 39,165 mammograms were performed annually, compared with an average of 22,367 exams in each year between 2020 and 2021. The data presented in this study indicate a significant decrease in the number of exams performed, associated with a decline in the absolute number of diagnoses, as well as delayed diagnoses. Conclusions: The scenario described in this study suggests the possibility of developing an epidemiological emergency related to breast cancer, both due to the structural incapacity of the state of Piauí to provide adequate assistance to patients and the increasing observation of more advanced cases. Therefore, we highlight the need for intensified efforts to strengthen breast cancer management and early diagnosis strategies in the state of Piauí.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Sukyung , Do Juhyun
Published: September 2024

Objectives The purposes of this study were to enhance the understanding of the structure of the curriculum when designing a concept-based curriculum and to explore the direction of designing concept- based units, particularly in English subject, within a process-oriented curriculum.
Methods First, this study explored the direction for implementing a process-oriented, concept-based curriculum and examined methods for designing concept-based units with a focus on understanding the structure of the process. To this end, the study proposed the approaches and implications based on Lanning’s(2013) “Designing a Concept-Based Curriculum for English Language Arts.” Second, the study examined the 2022 revised national curriculum and suggested the direction for designing concept-based units for English subject within the context of conceptual understanding.
Results By attempting unit design based on English subject matter knowledge, an understanding of the 2022 revised curriculum, and the structure of the process, using an approach centered on concept-based inquiry, it will promote deep understanding and transfer among learners, thereby realizing the true meaning of integrative learning.
Conclusions By moving beyond a language function-based approach and shifting towards an integrated and multidimensional perspective on language, grounded in an understanding of the structure of process, unit design can provide learners with learning opportunities that enable them to become active language inquirers, ultimately leading to deeper conceptual understanding.
A study of the Signature of soap opera characters: From the perspective of appraisal theory in systemic functional linguistics
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Han Jeong Han , Yoon Hye Gyeong
Published: September 2024

Objectives The purpose of this paper is to analyze Appraisal, one of the theories of discourse meaning analysis in Systemic Functional Linguistics(SFL), in relation to the Appraisal patterns of specific individuals. In SFL, this is called Signature.
Methods Therefore, this paper focuses on the Signature of 11 characters in the entire script of episode 1 in . The specific work was conducted in two stages. First, lexical evaluators (I), which examines the types and frequency of Affect, Judgment, Appreciation, and Graduation; and second, grammatical evaluators (II), which examines the number of sentences, types of Mood, types of addressee deference and Engagement words.
Results To summarize the results of the above two steps, (A) Need-dissatisfaction type Sim-ae is overwhelmingly frequent in Affect, Judgement, Appreciation, Graduation, and Engagement. She expresses all kinds of lexical evaluatives in a bold way. (B) Repressed and perverse type Sun-ja uses about half as many evaluatives as Sim-ae, but with very different ups and downs. Affect, which express how she feels, and Graduation, which control the intensity of her speech, are high, but Judgement, which evaluates the actions of others, and Appreciation, which express social respect or social approval of a given situation, are low. (C) Paternalistic and assertive Isa-jang is good at utilizing Judgement and Graduation, and is relatively low in Affect and Appreciation. (D) indecisive Park-isa rarely uses Jedgement. He uses the other evaluative words, Affect, Appreciation, Graduation, moderately frequently and appropriately. (E) Women are more likely than men to use Engagement for both setting(‘case-open’) and settled(‘case-closed’).
Conclusions The study of Appraisal has a wide range of applications and is a highly scalable area of research. It is expected that the study of Signature can also find some generalizable patterns of Appraisal system if the analysis target is broader.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Park Yu Ran , La Soo Hyun
Published: September 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between shame experience and intimacy and to determine the moderating effect of Perfectionistic Self-Presentation subtype in the process.
Methods To this end, data were collected from 206 university students in the Seoul metropolitan area using the Shame Experience Scale, Intimacy Scale, and Perfectionistic Self-Presentation Scale, and the data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and PROCESS macro for statistical analysis.
Results First, the relationships between shame experience, intimacy, and Perfectionistic Self-Presentation subtypes were statistically significant. Second, the relationship between shame experience and intimacy was moderated by perfectionistic self-presentation subtype. Specifically, Perfectionistic Self-Presentation showed a significant moderating effect of shame and intimacy. On the other hand, the moderating effect of shame and intimacy was not significant in Perfectionist Self-Presentation, Nondisplay of Imperfection, and Nondisclosure of Imperfection.
Conclusions These findings expand our understanding of shame experience by identifying the moderating effect of Perfectionistic self-presentation subtype on the relationship between shame experience and intimacy, and suggest that shame experience and Perfectionistic Self-Presentation subtype should be addressed as key psychological variables in practical interventions for clients who have difficulty establishing intimacy with the opposite sex.

Safeguarding Oscillators and Qudits with Distributed Two-Mode Squeezing
Authors: Brady Anthony J. , Wu Jing , Zhuang Quntao
Published: September 2024

Recent advancements in multi-mode Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) codes have shown great promise in enhancing the protection of both discrete and analog quantum information. This broadened range of protection brings opportunities beyond quantum computing to benefit quantum sensing by safeguarding squeezing — the essential resource in many quantum metrology protocols. However, the potential for quantum sensing to benefit quantum error correction has been less explored. In this work, we provide a unique example where techniques from quantum sensing can be applied to improve multi-mode GKP codes. Inspired by distributed quantum sensing, we propose the distributed two-mode squeezing (dtms) GKP codes that offer benefits in error correction with minimal active encoding operations. Indeed, the proposed codes rely on a single (active) two-mode squeezing element and an array of beamsplitters that effectively distributes continuous-variable correlations to many GKP ancillae, similar to continuous-variable distributed quantum sensing. Despite this simple construction, the code distance achievable with dtms-GKP qubit codes is comparable to previous results obtained through brute-force numerical search \cite{lin2023closest}. Moreover, these codes enable analog noise suppression beyond that of the best-known two-mode codes \cite{noh2020o2o} without requiring an additional squeezer. We also provide a simple two-stage decoder for the proposed codes, which appears near-optimal for the case of two modes and permits analytical evaluation.

Learning Relationships Between Disparate Representations of Objects with Transformers and Contrastive Losses
Authors: Ramachandra Nesar , Wells Azton , Frontiere Nick , Habib Salman
Published: September 2024

Large language models are moving into a multi-modal space covering text,
images, audio, and other media, yet scientific datasets possess features
that are not represented by this paradigm. In cosmology, for instance,
galaxies are embedded within dark matter-dominated collapsed objects,
termed halos. A galaxy can be described in many ways: star formation
history (SFH) characterizing the evolution of stellar content,
magnitudes describing luminosity across different wavelengths (MAG),
images, or matter distribution of the hosting halo. Despite their
differences, these descriptions represent the same cosmological
object. We propose the Object Foundation Model (OFM) to learn disparate
representations of objects in scientific domains. OFM learns the general
underlying representation of sparse and indeterminate data and
facilitates robust predictions on diverse inputs. Unlike traditional
deep learning with architecture-specific predictions, the OFM
predictions are requested via a language-based key that varies with the
user query.
Integrated neural network and aspen plus model for entrained flow gasification kinetics investigation
Authors: Balaban Dario , Lubura Jelena , Kojic Predrag
Published: September 2024

Entrained flow gasification is a well-established technology, however, the
main obstacle in process design is complex gasification mechanism, since
numerous phenomena at extreme process conditions take place simultaneously.
This study is focused on integrated thermodynamic and artificial neural
network approach (ANN) for entrained flow gasification kinetics
investigation. Data on 102 feedstock materials composition was used in
AspenPlus gasification simulation, where sensitivity analysis was performed
for different equivalence ratio (0.1-0.7) and gasification temperature
(1200-1500?C) values. For analyzed materials, optimal equivalence ratio
range exist (usually 0.3-0.4), maximizing gasification efficiency. Obtained
results were used in ANN development for each output variable (syngas
composition, efficiency, heating value and carbon conversion). Matlab
algorithm was used for determination of optimal number of neurons (1-20
range) in each ANN. High R2 values (>0.99) for all models suggested good
agreement between simulated and predicted values. Genetic algorithm-based
optimization studies for maximization of hydrogen content and cold gas
efficiency result in mean ER value of 0.35 and 0.41, respectively, at
temperature of 1200?C. Yoon interpretation method was used for quantifying
relative impacts of each input variable on syngas content and gasification
efficiency. Proposed approach represents a powerful tool which can
facilitate investigation of entrained flow gasification and process design.

Published: September 2024

Introduction/Objective. Liver hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver, with estimated prevalence of 2.5?4%. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of hepatic hemangioma in one primary care center in Serbia. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study, which included patients examined in the Dr Simo Milosevic Primary Care Center in Belgrade, Serbia (December 2017 ? March 2020). Patients with suspected atypical changes, malignancies, viral hepatitis infections, and liver cirrhosis were excluded from the study. Results. A total of 567 patients were included in this study (men 42.5%). In 27 patients (4.76%) a diagnosis of hemangioma was made (male:female ratio: 1.1:1). The total number of hemangiomas detected was 48. Hemangiomas were most commonly found in the right liver lobe (32/48, 66.7%). In this study, hemangiomas were most commonly localized in the fourth liver segment (11/48, 22.9%). The mean diameter of the hemangioma was 13.8 mm. In the half of patients diagnosed with hemangioma, more than one hemangioma was detected (13/27, 48.1%). Conclusion. Hemangiomas of the liver are commonly multiple. No sex difference in hemangioma prevalence was noted. The right liver lobe is the most common hemangioma localization in this study cohort.
Epidemiological characteristics of infections caused by bacteria Clostridioides difficile toxins
Authors: Koprivica Marko , Djekic-Malbasa Jelena
Published: September 2024

Introduction/Objective. Clostridioides difficile is one of the most common infectious agents and an important cause of infections among hospitalized patients, often resulting in severe and potentially fatal outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine demographical characteristics (age and sex distribution) and outcomes among hospitalized patients with Clostridioides difficile infection, and to analyze differences in toxin A, toxin B or toxin A/B prevalence among hospitalized patients with Clostridioides difficile infection. Methods. Retrospective descriptive analysis of 200 patients hospitalized at the Institute for Pulmonary Diseases of Vojvodina, Serbia, from 2015 to 2018 was performed. The data were obtained using a standardized ?Active surveillance of Clostridioides difficile? questionnaire. A non-parametric ?2 test and binominal logistic regression was used to validate all hypotheses: focusing on higher infection rates and mortality in the elderly compared to younger populations, and the predominance of diagnostic methods isolating both toxins A and B. Results. There are statistically significant differences in the distribution of infection cases among age groups, particularly with a higher prevalence in individuals aged 66 and older, (p < 0.001). There is a statistically significant difference in the frequency of respondents in relation to the detection of toxins. Percentage of representation of toxins is 61.5%. Conclusion. The results show that the most common diagnostic method is the detection of toxins A and B, rather than isolating either toxin independently. However, the study suggests that certain diagnostic methods should be supplemented by other newer diagnostic methods.

Long-term power consumption projections indicated substantial energy savings with more efficient media players. These findings underscore the importance of considering energy efficiency in software selection for sustainable computing.
Science Fiction in the Post-occupation Iraqi Short Story in English Translation
Authors: Ayad Ali Al-Fahham Samer
Published: September 2024

English translations of Arabic literary works have interacted with -and possibly influenced- the Western context of science fiction literature. This thesis investigates how the English translations of post-occupation Iraqi short stories possibly contributed to the evolution of the Western science fiction genre. The study seeks to explain the relationship between post-2003 Iraqi literary works -that are a diverse range of corpus- as well as the possible influence of their translations and their counterparts in Anglophone literary systems. The research particularly focuses on Iraq +100 and The Corpse Exhibition and Other Stories of Iraq by Hassan Blasim. Blasim’s edited anthology, Iraq +100, is a prominent element in this study as it is analyzed to illustrate the interrelation between Arabic science fiction and Western traditions of this genre of fiction. As the roles of this edited anthology and short story collection are addressed and discussed in terms of the interaction between Anglophone and Arab literary systems, the study discusses the science fiction theories of Thomas Lombardo (2006) and Darko Suvin (2010). The primary objective of this study is to analyze the two selected books as they are introduced to the Western world and scrutinize how these books can be considered as a response to the evolution of the science fiction genre. Moreover, the translated works of post-occupation Iraqi short stories deal with the political and social impacts of the situation in Iraq after 2003. This thesis follows up by proposing that the anthologized English translations of these Arabic post-occupation Iraqi texts have contributed to the making of a dialogue between Arab and Western cultural and literary canons as well as traditions. The study also analyzes the short stories of the Iraqi writers, as illustrative of a specific expression of post-2003 Iraqi fiction that depicts the terror of violence in Iraq by delivering scenes of excessive violence in their texts. All in all, this study appears as an interdisciplinary work as it engages with translation studies, literary studies, history, and in a way, political science.
