MODELS OF CORRELATION FUNCTIONS OF NONSTATIONARY PROCESSES AND SEQUENCES FOR TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
Authors: Cheremska Nadezhda
Published: November 2024

Precision technological processes for the production of modern microelectronic products require compliance with the quality of source materials, working environments, and precise adherence to regimes. Due to natural fluctuations in the properties of materials and the environment, and variable states of all technological processes, the parameters of the product and technological processes cannot be described by deterministic laws. Due to the inevitable natural properties of fluctuations in the parameters of technological equipment and its operating modes, the state variables of all technological processes are random functions of space-time coordinates. In most cases, these accidents cannot be neglected, since they all affect the output parameters of the products. The most complex mathematical models of technological systems and processes in modern theory are random spatiotemporal fields, representing both input and output characteristics, as well as parameters of the systems under consideration. The purpose of this work is to model real-valued values of correlation functions of non-stationary random processes and sequences. When constructing a correlation theory of random processes and sequences, a complex representation is widely used, i.e. random functions of the form  are considered: continuous or discrete time. This approach made it possible to construct a correlation theory of nonstationary random functions using the spectral theory of non-self-adjoint or unitary operators and to introduce the concept of complex spectrum. For applications of the correlation theory of nonstationary random functions and their modeling, it is convenient to deal with real-valued correlation functions. The construction of real-valued correlation functions can be carried out using the well-known fact that the real part of complex-valued correlation functions is also a correlation function (for the imaginary part this statement is unfair, since the imaginary part is a cross-correlation function of the real and imaginary parts of the corresponding random process or sequence) . The resulting models of correlation functions of non-stationary random processes and sequences can be used to construct algorithms for forecasting and filtering non-stationary random functions
SOCIO-ECONOMIC GUIDELINES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREAS OF UKRAINE: ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION PROCESSES
Authors: Demchenko Oleksandr
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the policy of the European Union regarding its impact on the socio-economic orientations of the development of rural areas of Ukraine. A retrospective analysis of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union was carried out from its crucial influence on forming new institutional conditions for the functioning and development of Ukrainian agriculture and rural areas. Features of Chapter 17, "Agriculture and Development of Rural Areas" of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, are outlined. The structure of the General Directorate of the European Commission for the Development of Agriculture and Rural Territories has been determined. It is substantiated that a qualitatively new level of cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union means not only the need to adapt Ukrainian legislation to the regulatory and legal field of the European Union but also, first of all, to learn from the experience of developing and implementing relevant programs, including in terms of promoting the development of rural areas. It has been proven that the development of rural areas is one of the main directions of the Common Agrarian Policy of the European Union. It was determined that at the national and regional levels of the European Union, several concepts (approaches) exist in parallel, from which three concepts of the development of rural areas can be clearly distinguished: the first conceptual approach identifies rural development with the general modernization of agriculture and the agro-food complex; the second conceptual approach relates rural development exclusively to the reduction of differences between the most backward rural areas and the remaining sectors of the economy; the third conceptual approach identifies rural development with the development of rural areas as a whole through the use of all resources that are on their territory and integration between all components and industries at the local level.

Published: November 2024

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between primate spaces and the
dental arches shape in kids from 3 to 6 years of age, from the I.E. Inicial Niño Jesús de Praga in Moyobamba, Peru, during the 2023 school year. Materials and methods: This prospective, traverse, descriptive and observational study was made up of 237 participants, who were examined using a clinical file where the findings were recorded based on, he absence or presence of primate spaces and the shape of the dental arch was classified as oval, square or triangular. A univariate analysis of frequency and percentage, and a bivariate analysis was carried out using chi square, with a significance level of 0.05. Results: It was found that in the upper arch 82.3% presented primate spaces in both quadrants, in the lower arch it was 50.2% followed by 45.6% that showed absence of primate spaces in both quadrants. The most common dental arch shape in both arches was oval (70.5%). 58.6% presented primate spaces in both quadrants and an oval arch shape for the upper arch and 34.6% for the lower arch. A statistically significant relationship was found between primate spaces and dental arch shape in the upper arch (P=0.005), of 4-year-old (P=0.025) and female participants (P=0.002). Conclusion: The presence of primate spaces in both quadrants was predominant for the upper and lower arch, as well as the oval arch shape, with the combination of these characteristics being the most frequent, so the development of its occlusion is expected to be harmonious.

Objetivo: Caracterizar la autopercepción de la calidad de vida en salud bucodental de los adultos en la comuna de Valparaíso, Chile. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal tipo serie de casos en adultos residentes en la comuna de Valparaíso, con un muestreo por conveniencia. Se utilizó el instrumento GOHAI para medir la calidad de vida bucodental, aplicado en noviembre de 2023. Se llevó a cabo un análisis descriptivo de los datos y se evaluó la asociación entre la calidad de vida en salud bucal, medida mediante el puntaje del test GOHAI, y las variables independientes cualitativas. Resultados: La muestra estuvo compuesta por 113 encuestados, de los cuales el 60,18% fueron mujeres (n = 68) y el 39,82% fueron hombres (n = 45). La media de edad fue de 43,84 años. El GOHAI arrojó una media general de 47,33 puntos y una mediana de 49,00 puntos, indicando una buena calidad de vida. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los resultados totales de GOHAI con respecto a edad, sexo y el tipo de establecimiento de atención (público, privado, mixto; p > 0,05). Conclusiones: La calidad de vida con relación a la salud bucodental fue buena en el 73% de la muestra, mientras que el 27% se autoevaluó como regular o mala. La salud bucodental, cuando se ve negativamente afectada, repercute en la manera en que el individuo se relaciona con su entorno. Este porcentaje sugiere que las intervenciones en los pacientes del sistema público, privado y mixto aún no son suficientes para mejorar la calidad de vida bucodental de manera integral.
CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. ¿WHERE WE ARE?
Authors: Dias da Silveira Heraldo Luís
Published: November 2024

In recent years we have seen a huge number of papers presenting the different possibilities for artificial intelligence (AI) in dentistry. Within the next decade, AI will transform the workflow of modern dental practice. Additionally, AI tools can enable healthcare professionals to increase their reliability, effectiveness, and usefulness, nonetheless potential limitations and errors. (1)Systematic reviews concerning artificial intelligence for radiographic imaging detection of caries lesions concluded that AI-based models exhibit good diagnostic performance. AI provides comprehensive, reliable, and accurate image assessment and disease detection, thus facilitating effective and efficient diagnosis and improving the prognosis of dental caries in periapical radiographs. However, the various AI models come with their own set of pros and cons, so the selection of a model should be based on the specific task objectives and requirements. (2, 3) Accordingly, research projects should be meticulously designed to detect the trueperformance of AI models.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: There is ongoing exploration into herbal treatments to identify adjunct therapies with minimal side effects. One such treatment involves curcumin from turmeric (Curcuma longa). This study aims to review the efficacy of curcumin as an anti-inflammatory agent for periodontitis along with the mechanisms of action involved. Methods: A systematic review of pre-clinical and clinical studies published on Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar up to May 2024 was employed following the PRISMA guidelines. Three tools were used for risk of bias assessment, namely the QUIN tool for in vitro studies, the SYRCLE’s RoB for in vivo studies, and the Cochrane RoB 2 for RCTs. Finally, nineteen studies were included for review. Results: This study highlights curcumin’s efficacy in addressing periodontitis through diverse mechanisms. Curcumin demonstrated efficacy in attenuating inflammation within periodontal tissue by inhibiting several pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, while concurrently increasing IL-4 and IL-10. In addition, several transcription factors such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) were also inhibited by curcumin. Administration of curcumin has additionally been demonstrated to reduce other biomarkers of periodontitis, including C-reactive protein (CRP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and procalcitonin (PCT). Conclusion: Curcumin has been shown to be effective as an adjunct therapeutic agent for periodontitis due to its anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the inflammatory response through a diverse range of mechanisms of action.

La osteonecrosis de los maxilares asociada con medicamentos (MRONJ) afecta alrededor del 5% de los pacientes tratados con bisfosfonatos y otros fármacos similares. En el presente reporte de caso se describe el manejo de un caso de MRONJ utilizando terapia de fotobiomodulación (FBM) combinada con oxígeno activo y lactoferrina (Blue®M). Se trata de una paciente de 62 años con hipertensión, artritis reumatoide y osteoporosis tratada con Bonames®. Tras una exodoncia presentó hueso expuesto en el reborde alveolar del cuadrante III. Bajo consentimiento informado, se realizó una intervención quirúrgica mínimamente invasiva con instrumental pieza eléctrico (Piezotome®). El análisis histopatológico reveló tejido óseo necrótico con infiltrado inflamatorio crónico. El tratamiento incluyó Blue®M teeth&bone una vez al día, durante 30 días, aplicación tópica de gel Blue®M cada mañana, durante 15 días, y FBM con láser de diodo de 808 nm (Therapy-DMC®). Las sesiones de láser fueron diarias hasta el día 3, y luego dos veces por semana durante cuatro semanas. La paciente también realizó enjuagues bucales con Blue®M todas las noches por 30 días. Inicialmente, la paciente reportó un dolor de 3/10 según la escala visual análoga, que disminuyó a 0/10 al final del tratamiento. Clínicamente, se observó curación del tejido blando a los 30 días y a los 60 días, y en la tomografía se observó hueso esponjoso hiperdenso con cortical bien formada y sin alteraciones. Finalmente, este caso sugiere que la combinación de FBM con terapia tópica de oxígeno activo y lactoferrina, junto con una intervención quirúrgica mínimamente invasiva, es prometedora para el manejo de MRONJ.

Published: November 2024

Una de las principales actividades económicas en el Perú es la pesca, en donde los productos son comercializados en mercados pesqueros a nivel nacional. En la zona marino costera se puede encontrar una especie de alto consumo, Stellifer minor y en la selva peruana a Mylossoma albiscopum. En esta investigación se estudió por primera vez la ocurrencia de microplásticos en tractos digestivos y branquias en ambas especies. En la especie S. minor se obtuvieron 2.48 ± 0.345 MP/pez mientras que, en la M. albiscopum 1.64 ± 0.276 MP/pez . Se identificó un total de cinco tipos de microplásticos en total siendo los más ocurrentes filamentos y fragmentos en los tractos digestivo y branquias de cada especie. El presente estudio nos muestra una comparativa de ocurrencia de microplásticos entre una especie marina y amazónica, en el cual, la especie marina presentó mayor ocurrencia de microplásticos, por lo que esta información seguirá abriendo camino para comparativas entre diferentes especies, sobre todo en la zona amazónica que cuenta con limitada información.

Published: November 2024

Santa Rosa es uno de los sectores de Villa maría del triunfo más afectados por la informalidad, lo que conlleva a la invasión de las zonas de laderas (zonas de alto riesgo), como consecuencia el 57.9% de las viviendas del sector se encuentran en estado vulnerable (INDECI, 2011), además estas presentan problemas relacionados a sus características espaciales debido a la autoconstrucción informal, ante esta situación la arquitectura flexible se plantea como una alternativa que responde ante los problemas encontrados en el sector. La tesis tuvo como objetivo, determinar los principios de la arquitectura flexible que permitan desarrollar nuevas tipologías de vivienda social que se adapten a las necesidades espaciales de las familias en el sector Santa Rosa en Villa María del Triunfo, para ello se utilizaron como instrumentos: fichas de revisión bibliográficas, fichas de observación y fichas de análisis de referentes arquitectónicos. Como resultado de los estudios realizados, se mostró que las viviendas del sector no consideran dentro de sus viviendas las siguientes estrategias: divisiones portátiles, jerarquía de espacios y mobiliarios multifuncionales, sin embargo, en algunos casos se llegó a evidenciar el uso de espacios similares y de plan abierto aunque estos no respondían a sus necesidades; consecuente al análisis de referentes arquitectónicos se proponen 3 tipologías de vivienda flexible para el sector, en los lotes más comunes encontrados donde se apliquen los principios de la arquitectura flexible. Finalmente, se propone el diseño de una vivienda social con enfoque flexible, creado para reubicar a 582 familias del sector de Santa Rosa en situación vulnerable, que brinda una solución a los problemas que suelen enfrentarse las viviendas informales a través de los principios de la arquitectura flexible, permitiendo a sus usuarios modificar los ambientes dentro de sus viviendas para satisfacer sus necesidades espaciales en el tiempo.

Removal of traces of highly explosive trinitrotoluene from TNT Red Water by using Graphene Nanocomposites prepared from Solid Wastes: An Example of Circular Economy
Authors: Yadav Anshika , Aquatar Mahammad O. , Krupadam Reddithota J.
Published: November 2024

The defence munition is primarily composed of high-intensity explosive chemicals such as trinitrotoluene (TNT) and the manufacturing of TNT generates highly intense red-coloured effluents consisting of TNT and its derivatives, sulfonates, and nitrobenzene. As of date, the comprehensive treatment for TNT red water remediation is not reported. In this study, TNT from red water was removed by using graphene nanocomposites (GNCs) prepared from graphite and sludge. The sludge used in the preparation of GNCs was obtained from the chemical coagulation of TNT red water using a mixture of organic acids as coagulant. The GNCs were intercalated with iron to produce few layered high surface area with high microporosity GNCs. The GNC prepared from sludge (GN-S) have shown high surface area and pore volume of 748 m2g-1 and 0.55 cm3 g, respectively. Owing to these textural properties, high adsorption capacity of 151.6 mg g-1 for TNT from TNT red water was achieved. The sludge generated during the treatment of TNT red water was used for GN-S preparation and this GN-S was proven as an efficient reusable adsorbent. The process of preparing GN-S from sludge and removing TNT from red water by adsorption onto GN-S aligns with the concept of circular economy.
Seascape factors in the loss of the SS Waratah
Authors: PONS D. J.
Published: November 2024

Objectives
The purpose of this paper is to identify possible sinking locations based on the interaction of meteorological fronts, Agulhas current, and bathymetric features.
Method
The route of the ship is reconstructed from historical documents, and the account of the following ship Clan Macintyre, using haversines. Findings: The analysis shows that the Waratah met the storm on the edge of the continental shelf of Algoa Bay. Multiple simulations were conducted to explore parameter variability, and the meeting location shifts accordingly, bracketing an area of 40nm by 10nm. It is proposed that the ship sank on meeting the storm at the continental shelf break, possibly near the head of a submarine canyon. Bathymetric details for the area are limited, but from the limited terrain information available, a prime location to search would be the Bird Island canyon (-34.235825°S 26.644556°E). Contribution: The work provides a new hypothesis, backed by detailed navigational modelling from the known facts, regarding where and how the ship sank. The novel contribution of this research is the combination of multiple disciplines, i.e. historical research, principles of maritime engineering, navigational modelling, meteorological phenomena, and oceanographic analysis, to reconstruct the ship's likely route and identify potential shipwreck locations.
The Type of Social Media is a Greater Influential Factor For Orthorexia Nervosa Than the Duration: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Ulutaş Pınar Usta , Bakır Binnur Okan
Published: November 2024

Background
In the post-modern world, individuals tend to increase their awareness of healthy eating with the emergence of relevant concerns, various diseases, periodic eating trends, and the perceived importance of appearance. These aspects are also suggested to increase the Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) tendency. Health professionals, nutritionist dietitians, students receiving health education, individuals who do sports, adolescents, and performance artists are assumed to be in the risk group for ON. On the other hand, the use of social media, which may also induce the development of several eating disorders, has increased and become an important part of life. We aimed to determine the effect of the factors claimed to be influential on ON tendency.
Method
This study was conducted with a total of 892 voluntary undergraduate students aged 18 years and older, studying at a foundation university between January - March 2022 using questionnaire Orto-11 face-to-face. Data analysis was carried out with the SPSS 21.0 program.
Results
The prevalence of ON was found to be 23%. Being single, increased body mass index, studying nutrition and dietetics, undergoing medical nutrition therapy, following dietary restrictions within the last six months, increased physical activity, and purchasing foods with the influence of social media correlated with higher ON tendency (p < 0.05). Individuals who use Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok, who follow someone to receive nutritional information, had a higher ON tendency (p < 0.05). Also, there was a significant difference regarding the profession of the ones followed by the participants (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
Since the diagnostic criteria have not been definitively determined, the findings about the influential factors are contradictory, and the prevalence is increasing daily; examining the influential factors with the general population is strongly recommended.

Published: November 2024

Although the polyurethane (PU) fibers are widely concerned because of their modifiable molecular structures and highly flexible composition formulations, the production and processing of PU fibers influence the environment and the weakly fatigue and aging resistance of them limited their potential applications. While self-healing and environmentally friendly PU fibers exhibit not only stronger fatigue and aging resistance, but also their tensile strength and elongation are not weak. Therefore, this study proposes a novel method for preparing composite fibers based on self-healing and environmentally friendly PU and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). It was found that the PU molecular chains create hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups in the surface of CNC, forming a dynamic network with physical crosslinking that enhances the tensile strength and elongation, the self-healing ability, and the fatigue and aging resistance of PU-CNC composite fibers. Moreover, after fatigue and aging resistance tests, the mechanical characteristics of PU-CNC composite fibers are almost unchanged. When compared to PU fibers without CNC, the elongation at break and tensile strength of PU-1% CNC composite fibers increased by 33.92% and 17.93%, respectively. After the scratch test, the cracks on the surface of the self-healing of PU-1% CNC composite fibers disappeared, and the elongation at break and tensile strength increased by 57.18% and 128.02%, respectively. Overall, the prepared PU-CNC composite fibers hold immense potential for application in the smart wearable elastic yarns field.

Published: November 2024

Background: It was aimed to evaluate the relationship between mindful eating, eating disorder, and body satisfaction among Turkish adults aged 19-64 years.
Methods: The Four Facet Mindful Eating Scale was used to assess mindful eating, the SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale was used to assess eating disorders, and the Stunkard Figure Rating Scale was used to assess body satisfaction.
Results: A total of 8842 individuals (62.2% female, 37.8% male) voluntarily participated in the study. While the total FFaMES score had a weak negative and significant correlation with total SCOFF score (p<0.001), no relationship was found with total Stunkard score. A weak negative and significant correlation was found between total SCOFF and Stunkard score (p<0.001). A weak negative and significant correlation was found between total SCOFF score and the subscales of FFaMES such as Non-reactance (p<0.001) and Nonjudgment score (p<0.001); and a weak positive and significant correlation was found between External awareness (p<0.001) and Internal awareness score (p<0.001). There is a weak negative and significant correlation between total Stunkard and External awareness score (p<0.001). There is a statistically significant difference between the groups with SCOFF values ≥2 and <2 score in the total FFaMES score (p<0.001). However, the scores of external and internal awareness subscales were significantly higher in individuals at risk of eating disorders (p<0.001). Moreover, the total Stunkard score was statistically significantly lower in individuals at risk for eating disorders (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Mindful eating is recognized for its positive effects on eating disorders and body satisfaction; however, it should be noted that increased internal and external awareness might trigger eating disorders in individuals already at risk of developing such complications.

Published: November 2024

Background
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) based on the detection of P. falciparum histidine rich protein 2 (PfHRP2) are widely used for the diagnostic of P. falciparum in Africa. However, deletions of the pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 genes can lead to false negative test results and compromise appropriate case management. Due to the high burden of malaria in Mozambique, it is crucial to monitor the potential emergence of parasites with pfhrp2/3 gene deletions in the country.
Methods
The presence of pfhrp2/3 deletions was assessed during the 2023 high transmission season in 34 health facilities from 9 districts across 6 provinces in Mozambique. Children between 2 and 10 years of age attending the health facility with fever were tested by both the routine HRP2-RDT and a P. falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH)-RDT, and dried blood spots (DBS) were collected from those testing positive by one or both RDTs. DBS from children with a negative HRP2-RDT but positive PfLDH-RDT were tested for the presence of pfhrp2/3 deletions by multiplex real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
Results
3208 children attended the health facilities during the study. 81.6% (2612/3208) participants were positive for at least one malaria RDT and, among them, 0.8% (210/2612) had discrepant RDT results (22 HRP2- but LDH + and 188 HRP2 + but LDH-). The overall prevalence of suspected false-negative HRP2-RDT results in Mozambique was 0.91% (95% CI 0.58–1.39; 22/2424). pfhrp2/3 gene deletions were confirmed in 4 cases (1 in Nampula and 3 in Inhambane). Therefore, the prevalence of P. falciparum confirmed cases with pfhrp2/3 gene deletions in the six provinces sampled was 0.16% (95% CI 0.15–2.57; 4/2424), being 0.27% (95% CI 0.01–1.75; 1/367) in Nampula and 0.59% (95% CI 0.15–1.88; 3/503) in Inhambane.
Conclusion
pfhrp2/3 gene deletions were detected in 2 out of 6 provinces surveyed in Mozambique, but at a prevalence far below the 5% threshold recommended for a change in HRP2 based-RDT.

Background
To compare the differences in clinical features and inflammatory factors of unipolar depression and bipolar depression, and to explore potential clinical features and peripheral blood biological markers are used to distinguish unipolar depression and bipolar depression. And to further build a prediction model.
Methods
The inpatients of Shanghai Mental Health Center from June 2022 to June 2024 were selected as the study objects. According to the diagnosis of hospitalization records, 274 cases were divided into unipolar depression group and 128 cases were bipolar depression group. A total of 128 patients were enrolled in each of the two groups by the propensity score matching method. The demographic data, clinical characteristics and biological indicators of the two groups were compared. Biological markers include neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum triodothyronine (T3), thyroxin (T4), free thyroid hormone (fT3, fT4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) ), complement 3(C3), complement 4(C4), immunoglobulin A(IgA), immunoglobulin G(IgG), immunoglobulin M(IgM). Binomial Logistic regression analysis was used to control confounding factors to explore the predictors of bipolar depression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of clinical features and biological indicators in bipolar depression.
Results
There were statistical differences in life events (χ2 = 15.397, P = 0.000), CRP (Z = 6.717, P = 0.000), TSH (Z = 1.988, P = 0.047), C3 (Z = 5.682, P = 0.000), C4 (Z = 4.216, P = 0.000), IgM (Z = 2.304, P = 0.021) between unipolar depression group and bipolar depression group. Logistic regression analysis showed that life events (OR = 4.552, 95%Cl = 2.238∼9.257), CRP (OR = 13.886, 95%Cl = 5.290∼36.452), IgM (OR = 0.561, 95%Cl = 0.325∼0.970) were associated with bipolar depression. ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of Logistic regression model predicting bipolar depression was 0.806, with a sensitivity of 61.7%, and a specificity of 85.9%.
Conclusions
Compared with unipolar depression, no life events, higher levels of CRP and lower levels of IgM were related factors of bipolar depression, and the combined diagnosis model is more effective to distinguish unipolar depression from bipolar depression.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown potential to transform medical specialties but there are uncertainties in their performance. This systematic review aims to evaluate LLMs utilization, impacts, and challenges across 19 medical specialties. We systematically searched on Scopus and Web of Science for journal articles employing LLMs for medical specialties. 5,790 peer-reviewed studies were identified, of which 84 were included in this systematic review. The results revealed the most used evaluation metric for assessing LLM performance is the accuracy metric, followed by the F1-score. The LLM scores for the evaluation 1 metrics varied based on the task of utilizing the LLM, where five main applications were identified. The main positive impact reported was enhancing medical processes efficiency, while the most reported negative impact was inconsistent reliability. More rigorous validation standards that consider the unique challenges of LLMs research could enhance future studies. Continued research and collaboration between computer science and medical communities will be crucial for advancing and ensuring the reliable and trustworthy application of LLMs in healthcare.

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been utilized to treat massive pulmonary embolism (PE) accompanied by cardiac arrest or refractory cardiogenic shock. Our team preferred a femoral-femoral approach for vascular cannulation, using drainage and return cannulas in the common femoral vein and artery, respectively. However, femoral venous cannulation can be limited or challenging due to the presence of thrombus in the inferior vena cava (IVC), making the insertion of the drainage cannula via the femoral vein difficult. We present the case of a patient with massive PE who underwent aspiration thrombectomy and insertion of an IVC filter, followed by the initiation of VA-ECMO for cardiac arrest. We successfully inserted a femoral venous return ECMO cannula through the inferior vena cava filter during extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The patient stabilized with these interventions and ultimately achieved a favorable outcome with normal neurological status.

In response to the development needs for lightweight and functional aviation electric aircraft, as well as cleaner and sustainable green energy, this study designed a graphene oxide-based carbon-fiber structural supercapacitor with integrated structure and energy storage capabilities. It possesses electrical storage stability and meets mechanical load-bearing requirements. We focused on the electrochemical stability of the GO/CF1 structural supercapacitor under load-bearing conditions. Experimental results showed that capacitance retention was nearly 100% over 10,000 cycles, with a coulombic efficiency of 96.27% at 0.1 mA/cm². Under a 30 kPa load-bearing condition, the capacitance retention and coulombic efficiency of the GO/CF1 structural supercapacitor were approximately 99.58% and 94.34%, respectively, at 0.05 mA/cm² over 15,000 cycles. The GO/CF1 structural electrode exhibited similar morphology and almost the same specific surface area in both unloaded and load-bearing states, elucidating the mechanism behind the stability of its electrochemical properties. Furthermore, the tensile strength and elastic modulus were 139.19 MPa and 8.6 GPa, respectively. This study demonstrated that the GO/CF1 structural supercapacitor maintains stable electrochemical performance under load-bearing conditions, offering a design concept for optimizing structural energy storage devices in aerospace applications.

Residue organic matter such as antibiotics and dyes are left in wastewater that are difficult to remove. Herein, we reported a bismuth oxyiodide (Bi5O7I)/zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) catalyst with an S-scheme heterojunction for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) using an in-situ growth strategy. The degradation process of TC is divided into two parts: adsorption and photocatalysis. Under dark reaction conditions, the Bi5O7I/ZIF-8 composites have an eminent adsorption effect on TC. When exposed to visible light, the resulting Bi5O7I/ZIF-8 composites revealed an outstanding photocatalytic activity and high stability toward TC degradation. Experiments utilizing active species trapping showed that O2 is essential to the photocatalytic process and the efficacy of the process is further improved by the addition of h+ and •OH. Likewise, these catalysts catalyzed the degradation of 84.6% of TC, and the Bi5O7I/ZIF-8 also exhibited high degradation stability after 4-cycle trial. This work optimizes the degradation performance of antibiotic residues by presenting a practical and doable approach for creating green semiconductor heterojunctions.
Auto-weighted sequential neural network and its application in shear wave velocity prediction

Shear wave velocity is of great significance for accurate seismic data description and fluid tracking. However, the measurement of shear wave velocity is difficult, requiring high-precision equipment and professional operators. Conventional logging velocity often does not fully include the effective value of shear wave velocity, which brings serious challenges to the accurate exploration of oil and gas in deep strata. To meet demands of the industry, it is necessary to synthesize accurate shear wave logging from relevant conventional logging. Since the LSTM network is unable to compute sample points in parallel and has insufficient nonlinearity caused by sequential calculation, an auto-weighted sequence module is designed in this paper to extract context and better predict shear wave velocity. It takes each logging curve with a fixed step length to use a trainable matrix for auto-weighted rearrangement, and then uses the ELU function to activate. After the calculation of N such modules, the shear wave velocity is predicted by the fully connected layer. Comparing the prediction results of different methods, the auto-weighted neural network can indeed significantly improve the prediction accuracy, obtaining the highest accuracy with 39.21 of MAE and 0.9860 of R2. In addition, the proposal way is better than the LSTM network at different input lengths, with a significant improvement of about 5%. In conclusion, the proposed way can effectively extract the sequence information of the input data, thus it is an effective sequence modeling tool, which has good performance in the prediction of the shear wave.
