It is substantiated that the cascade-circular model of innovative transformation of regional economic complexes should be based on a combination of the cascade principle of attracting material resources in the reproduction process and the principle of maximizing closed cycles in product chains. It is determined that the cascade principle is a sequential transition from one phase of production to another, based on the priority of formation of value chains and features of extracting the resource value of primary and secondary raw materials; the principle of maximizing closed cycles in product chains is a principle that provides for the minimization of unit costs and losses of the material substance of raw materials on the basis of the integrated use of primary raw materials through the use of waste-free and low-waste technologies and the most complete utilization of secondary raw materials in order to maximize the value added in food chains. It is identified that the key point in the formation of the cascade-circular model of innovative transformation of regional economic complexes is the formation of the structure-establishing innovation core (a complex of types of production and economic activity with appropriate supporting subsystems), which will be differentiated in the context of economic regions of Ukraine, based on: the existing production and technical base of material production; the level of infrastructural arrangement; available and projected reserves of natural raw materials; scientific and scientific-technical potential; opportunities for establishing inter-regional cooperative relations; participation of the region in the national division of labor and in ensuring national security. It is substantiated that the cascade-circular model of innovative transformation of the economy of the regions of Ukraine should be aimed at more effective use of secondary material resources in the reproduction process and at increasing the assimilation potential as a basic prerequisite for the transition to the rails of low-carbon development.

The article emphasizes the relevance of the formation and implementation of the State policy of ensuring structural changes and institutional reforms in the internal market. The aim of the study is to scientifically substantiate the methodological and applied principles of structural changes in the internal market. On the basis of the carried out analysis of the current results of researches in the field of conceptual foundations of structural changes, reforms of transformations, institutionalism, structural policy, etc., the directions (components, criteria for analysis) of generalization of the theoretical and methodological principles of structural changes are defined and, as shown, they include the following: structure of the economy by types of economic activity; full-fledged institutional environment and institutional transformations; effective changes in reproductive processes; balance of proportions between sectors of the regional economy; innovation and technological activity and its contribution to the competitiveness of the regional economy. It is concluded that within the framework of the product and sectoral approaches, structural reforms are manifested in the formation of a rational and effective production and sectoral structure of the regional economy. It is proved that, according to the institutional approach, structural reforms are based on the quality of the institutional-organizational and institutional-legal environment of economic management. It is stated that with account of changes in the reproduction processes, structural reforms are characterized by the quality and dynamics of reproduction processes in terms of resource provision and material production, also by the ratios between savings, investments, and consumption. It is confirmed that, according to the sectoral approach, structural reforms are characterized by the formation of rational correlations among the forms of ownership, organizational and legal forms of management, size of enterprises, spheres of the enterprise activity, etc. It is identified that according to the innovation-technological approach, structural reforms are determined by the volume, intensity, progressiveness and efficiency of innovation-technological modernization of enterprises.

Currently, Netflix stock is one of the rising stars and sought after by investors. However, along with the potential for high profits, there are certainly risks of losses that need to be anticipated. To mitigate these risks, an investor must make predictions about future stock prices. One method that can be used is data mining, a data processing technique used to discover patterns in data. In this study, data mining was conducted using the multiple regression algorithm to predict the future price of Netflix stock. Python and Jupyter Notebook were used as tools to process the data, which was collected from January 4, 2010, to March 30, 2023, totaling 3334 data points. After data processing, the model yielded a score of 0.99%, indicating a highly reliable model. Additionally, evaluation using RMSE resulted in a value of 3.73, and MAE had a value of 2.80, both derived from 1334 testing data points. With accurate prediction results and the evaluation conducted, an investor can use these findings as a reference when deciding whether to buy or sell Netflix stock.

Published: October 2023

Kartu Indonesia Pintar (KIP) scholarship program at Ahmad Dahlan University includes a monitoring and evaluation internal process conducted at the end of each semester to monitor scholarship recipients. This allows for an assessment of their eligibility to receive the scholarship in the upcoming semester. The current manual MONEVIN process results in a time-consuming and less objective eligibility analysis. This eligibility determination system is needed, utilizing data mining techniques based on previous KIP scholarship recipient data to make predictions. Naïve Bayes algorithm, a data mining technique employing mathematical probability calculations, is utilized. The process begins with preprocessing, followed by data mining, evaluation, system implementation, and testing using System Usability Scale. The research uses a dataset of 270 student records, employing a 9-fold cross-validation process to split the data. Implemented model is integrated into a website-based system accessible to Biro Kemahasiswaan dan Alumni (BIMAWA). Model testing employs the Confusion Matrix technique, resulting in an accuracy score of 0.985, precision of 0.987, recall of 0.985, and an F-score of 0.985, indicating a favorable classification outcome. The system's eligibility assessment is further tested using the SUS, yielding a score of 90. Therefore, it can be concluded that the developed system is suitable for use.

Published: October 2023

The increased use of laptops and smartphones during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in the number of people suffering from nearsightedness. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a class of deep learning that is capable of recognizing images and classifying images. Convolutional Neural Network is a technique inspired by the way mammals (humans) generate vision. CNN can be used to help nearsighted people detect or see objects in the house. With the CNN algorithm, this algorithm will be implemented to detect objects in the house to help people with myopic eyes. The number of epochs is varied in the dataset training process using Yolov5 which is included in the Convolutional Neural Network algorithm. The training dataset results show that the highest accuracy is 95%, which is obtained through mAp (mean Average Precision) calculation. The training process was carried out using a batch size of 16 and running training for 100 epochs. Different from previous research, this research implements the CNN algorithm to detect objects in the house to help people with nearsighted eyes.

Transgression and New Media in the Study of Art
Authors: Sitharan Roopesh
Published: October 2023

This paper explores the effects of transgression in teaching caused by the operation of new media. Adapting Bell Hook’s argument on ‘teaching to transgress’ that articulates the necessity of freedom for the learning experience, the paper proceeds to critically examine such ‘transgressive freedom’ with the agency of new media in art education. It argues that while such transgression is well aligned with the freedom of independent thinking and criticality inherent to the radicality of learning art, such freedom in learning also permits the pedagogical intrusion of new media through the utilization of technology by students in a classroom. Having this as the foundation, the paper sets out to critically examine new media as a new form of radicality—one that not only perpetuates the radicality of art by breaching the distinction between learner and teacher but also begs for a reconfiguration of the discrepancy between human and non-human in education.

Published: October 2023

This research focuses on developing an AI-enabled Contactless Visitors Access Monitoring System. The monitoring system integrated a facial recognition system with a real-time database. Visitors registered themselves through an online registration form. This research developed and compared two different facial recognition systems. The first facial recognition system integrated the dlib model with the face recognition library, while the second integrated the FaceNet model with the Haar Cascade Classifier. Twenty facial images were collected. The researcher found out that the facial recognition system with FaceNet has higher accuracy of 82% while the has 76% of accuracy. The value of EER obtained for FaceNet is at 51% with an allowed threshold of 0.52. This research found that the accuracy of the facial recognition system could be affected by different conditions, such as the visitors’ facial features, the distance between the camera and the face, and the illumination condition of the test environment. The number of images does not affect the speed and the accuracy of the facial recognition system in this research due to the small number of images.
Review on Accessibility of Scissors for the Left-handed and Ambidextrous, and People with Fine Motor Difficulties in the Digital Era
Authors: Chan Wai Ti
Published: October 2023

There had been efforts to provide single-handed tools for small-scale and one-time work, from the industrial to the modern age. This is notable in the case of scissors. The modern era provides more options to produce scissors that fit the individual. This is made possible through 3D printing and rapid prototyping. However, accommodating the exact personal preferences of users remains a persistent problem, especially for the left-handed and ambidextrous, or those who have problems with fine motor skills. The other alternative in the digital era is coaching and instructions that are available through digital platforms for the purpose of helping people practice fine motor skills in the use of scissors. However, like other tutoring methods, their outcomes depend on the individual ability of the learners.
Bloodletting in Babylonia Revisited
Authors: Geller M. J.
Published: October 2023

The question of bloodletting in Babylonia (and surgery in general) has hardly been studied, since evidence is sparse, while at the same time bloodletting in the Babylonian Talmud has been assumed to have been employed, although based upon questionable medieval interpretations of vague and doubtful terminology. However, when descriptions from cuneiform medicine are combined with evidence from Aramaic sources, a somewhat clearer picture emerges of a possible limited use of a bloodletting procedure in Babylonia, in both earlier and later periods.

Published: October 2023

Objective: 68Ga can be routinely produced by a 68Ge/68Ga generator without the need for a cyclotron. It is recommended to replace the 68Ge/68Ga generator after 250 elutions or 12 months of shelf-life whichever endpoint is reached first. However, a 68Ge/68Ga generator that has gone past its recommended lifespan can still be further used as a 68Ga source for 68Ga-labeled radiopharmaceuticals for use in animal experiments. To ensure the quality of 68Ga eluates, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the ITM (Isotope Technologies München) 68Ge/68Ga generator in our institute after its recommended shelf-life.
Materials and Methods: A 21-month-old ITM 68Ge/68Ga generator was eluted using 4.0 ml of 0.05 M HCl. The 68Ga elution yields were calculated, and 68Ge breakthrough was measured at least 48 h after elution in an aliquot amount using a multichannel analyzer (MCA) with a high-purity germanium probe. Metal impurities in the 68Ga eluates were analyzed by ICP-MS.
Results: The elution yield of 68Ga was 35.2 ± 8.1%; n = 5 (decay corrected). 68Ge breakthrough from the ITM 68Ge/68Ga generator was below the detectable level. The average amounts of the metallic ions 57Fe, 66Zn, 203Pb, 60Ni, and 63Cu were 18.60, 9.86, 2.42, 0.52, and 0.47 µg/GBq, respectively.
Conclusion: The ITM 68Ge/68Ga generator demonstrated consistent and reliable 68Ga elution profiles with an absence of either 68Ge breakthrough or other metal contaminants in the eluent samples as verified by the manufacturer. The use of the ITM 68Ge/68Ga generator could be extended past its recommended shelf-life to prepare 68Ga radiopharmaceuticals that are considered safe and suitable for use in animal experimentation and other applications.

The association between iron deficiency (ID) and hair loss is controversial. Currently, there is no standard oral iron supplementation for patients with female pattern hair loss (FPHL) and ID. We investigated the efficacy of oral iron supplementation for treating FPHL patients with ID. The results of our study revealed that oral iron supplementation combined with topical 3% minoxidil was not superior to topical 3% minoxidil alone in treating FPHL and ID.
Use of the Left Ventricular Internal Dimension at End-Diastole and the Mitral Valve E-Point Septal Separation Ratio in the Prediction of the Left Ventricular Systolic Function
Authors: Tamanna Rownak Jahan , Hoque Shabnam  Jahan , Pasha Faisal Mohammed
Published: October 2023

Background: Rapid assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) may be critical among emergency department (ED) patients. This study examined the predictive relationship between bedside Left Ventricular Internal Dimension at End-Diastole and the Mitral Valve E-Point Septal Separation (EPSS) Ratio to the quantitative calculated LVEF.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on a sequential convenience sample of patients, receiving comprehensive Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE). The current study recruited 100 patients who presented to the Cardiology Clinic of Lab Aid Cardiac Hospital. Echocardiographic examinations were performed to obtain 2D guided M-mode measurements of the LVIDd & EPSS in addition to calculation of conventional, quantitative LVEF. All the measurements were done in the Para-sternal long-axis view.
Results: It was found that LVEF determined by EPSS has very significant negative correlation with Calculated LVEF (r=—.766, p<0.001). LVEF determined by LVIDd/EPSS has also very significant positive correlation with calculated LVEF (r=.806, p<0.001), but correlation of LVIDd/EPSS was significantly higher than correlation of LVEF with only EPSS. LVIDd/EPSS <7 is strongly predictive of reduced LVEF<50% (P<.001). An LVIDd/EPSS <6 mm is evidence of reduced LVEF < 40%, (P<.001). Of note LVIDd/ EPSS <4 mm correlates with severely decreased function, with an estimated LVEF of <30% (P <.001). As was shown by the results of the linear regression analysis, most significant determinant of LVEF was LVIDd/EPSS (R=.806, p<0.001) The results of the linear regression analysis indicated that the LVIDd/EPSS was an independent predictor of the LVEF (P<0.001). Measurements of LVIDd/EPSS were significantly associated with the calculated measurements of LVEF from comprehensive TTE.
Conclusion: The LVIDd/EPSS may allow certain clinicians, especially beginners and emergency department physicians, to assess the LVEF when other methods are not available or questionable.

Authors: Hossain Shakhawat , Tushar Mahmud Al Noor , Islam Shariful , Razzak Md Zayed Abdur , Hossain Sushmita , Rajib Mohammad
Published: October 2023

This study investigates the landslide susceptibility of the Dupi Tila Formation by analyzing geological parameters such as lithology, clay mineralogy, rock weathering, and structural features. The Dupi Tila Formation comprises poorly consolidated sandstone and shale layers. The percentage of mudrocks in this formation is about 32- 38%. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis identified illite, chlorite, smectite, and kaolinite as the major clay minerals present in the formation. The qualitative analysis of the degree of weathering in outcrops shows a high degree of weathering indicated by the disintegration of grains and the presence of chemically altered minerals. Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA), Modified Potential Weathering Index (MPWI), and Kornberg Weathering Index (A) computed from the major oxide concentration of Dupi Tila Formation suggest that the weathering potential of this formation is high. The formation contains closely spaced bedding planes and two crisscrossing joints that can act as planes of weakness. Landslides can be triggered by the repeated widening of these planes of weakness caused by the saturation of clay minerals during periods of heavy rainfall. The comparable sizes of the fallen rock blocks and the joint spacings imply that structural features have played a role in landslide occurrences. Rockfall, topple, and translational slides are the major landslide types in the formation. While the position of the formation in the flank of the anticline makes the slope unfavorable for landslide occurrences, intense rainfall, and slope modification can make it susceptible to landslides. The results of this study demonstrate the significant impact of geological factors on landslide occurrences. Thus, a detailed geological analysis should be integrated into the landslide susceptibility analysis workflow to accurately identify and delineate at-risk areas.

The goal. Questionnaire is the basis for a sociological survey that allows you to analyse the quality and interface of training. The article reflects the issues of effectiveness of the educational program and teaching technologies, the quality of teachers’ connections with students in the context of pedagogical and managerial measurements, to assess individual disciplines and encourage teachers to improve themselves. Materials and methods. The Department of Descriptive and Clinical Anatomy conducted a survey of students of dental faculties to obtain accurate data on the quality of the educational process and satisfaction of applicants for education. The study also suggested assessing the views of future professionals and improving the effectiveness of information consolidation principles. In total, 50 first-year students in 2020/2021 and 50 students in 2021/2022 took part in the cross-sectional study with the help of a virtual survey. The actual questionnaire was created using Google forms. It was divided into two parts, firstly, by the importance of anatomy sections in dental education, and secondly, by the frequency of certain problems in the teaching of anatomy. In this study, students suggested more emphasising the anatomy of the head and neck and, directly, the oral cavity, but do not devalue the importance of the nervous and vascular system, planchnology. The percentage of satisfaction with the quality of higher education in most cases was 80–95 %. Conclusion. Thus, research was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire to understand the pros and cons of training applicants for medical education. Since medical institutions in Ukraine are responsible for ensuring that students meet international standards, NMU named after O.A. Bogomolets is trying to provide education by all possible means. The use of body layouts, stimulation devices based on virtual/augmented reality together with improved methodological recommendations allow you to get acquainted with the structure and structure of the human body. The official LIKAR_NMU platform is supplemented with test controls on different topics each time so that students can prepare for different tests and be confident in knowledge. The department aims to improve the methods of presenting information, strengthen the «teacher-student» connections in order to direct students to in-depth study of disciplines and timely correction of shortcomings. Key words: anatomy, education, academic discipline, dentistry.

Resume. The article presents the results of the study of the intensity of free radical processes (FRP) and the activity of antioxidant systems (AOS) in the blood serum of people who were infected with the Sars-Cov-2 virus. The study of the initial level of TBC-active products and the increase in their concentration in the oral fluid of the research group, it showed that their value was significantly higher compared to the indicators of the representatives of the control group, which indicates an increase in lipid peroxidation. It was established that the catalase index and SOD activity of the salivary glands are significantly lower in the infected persons compared to similar indicators of the control group, which are due to long-term stress exposure, high emotional stress and depressive states of the patients and indicates the exhaustion of the antioxidant system. At the same time, there is an increase in such enzymes as glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase. It was found that the intensity of free radical processes and the imbalance of antioxidant systems increases with the deepening of immunodeficiency and with the progression of periodontal pathology. Key words: Sars-Cov-2 virus, generalized periodontitis , peroxidation, catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase.

Resume. Dental morbidity in the population of Ukraine is characterized by high prevalence and intensity. A number of factors contribute to this: ecological living conditions, stress factors, general health and the state of hygienic care of the oral cavity The aim of this work is to review and systematize literature data devoted to the study of the influence of various factors on the state of children's dental health. A combination of many factors contributes to the high level of dental morbidity: unfavorable environmental living conditions, psycho-emotional state of children. This is especially relevant in the current difficult time for Ukraine, when the country is at war. Social factors also have a significant impact on the state of dental morbidity in children. A significant role in the occurrence and course of dental pathology is played by the general state of health, the presence of somatic pathology, as well as the state of oral hygiene. One of the important tasks is the formation of risk groups of children, followed by followup and a complex of medical and preventive measures. Conclusion. It has been proven that the features and level of dental morbidity are largely determined by a complex of unfavorable factors. However, compliance with even simple manipulations, in particular hygienic care of the oral cavity, can contribute to the stabilization and improvement of dental health. Key words: dental morbidity in children, factors and risk factors, prevention of dental diseases
