Clinical evaluation of the pain predictors among temporomandibular joint disorders patients with full dentition and free-end extensions
Authors: Othman Ahmed Adel , Aswad Fawaz
Published: March 2023

Introduction:

We aimed to evaluate the possible role of the age, occlusion type, type of dentition (full dentition or free-end extensions), and type of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) to predict the presence of pain.

Methods:

Subjects were selected from volunteer male TMD patients with one partially edentulous jaw from the Baghdad city in 2022. Pain was assessed via the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Angle’s and Kennedy’s classifications were employed to assess occlusion and partially edentulous jaw conditions. TMD was assessed using Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) for Clinical and Research Applications. Relationship between pain as ordinal dependent variable and other predictor variables was assessed via ordinal logistic regression using SPSS 26.

Results:

240 subjects were assessed for eligibility and 180 TMD patients (mean age 41.1 ± 0.46) were included in the study. The omnibus test showed that the model outperforms the null model (p < 0.001). Disc displacement with reduction (odds ratio: 0.09) and Kennedy’s Class I (odds ratio: 0.42) were statistically significant inverse predictors for pain (p < 0.05). Age (p = 0.66) and Angle’s occlusion type (p = 0.91) were not significant predictors for pain.

Conclusion:

Probability of pain decreased in disc displacement with reduction and Kennedy’s Class I.

Published: March 2023

Background:

Microalbuminuria and gradual reduction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are some of the early manifestations of renal involvement in HIV/AIDS. Therefore, early detection of microalbuminuria provides an opportunity to identify individuals at risk of developing chronic kidney disease, creating a platform for the institution of preventive measures and optimization of comorbid conditions.

Objective:

The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of microalbuminuria in HIV/AIDS-infected adults in a tertiary heath institution in Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 750 participants including 250 highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-treated and 250 HAART-naive HIV/AIDS participants and 250 age-matched controls. An interviewer-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect relevant demographic and clinical information. Blood and urine samples were collected for serum creatinine and urinary albumin and creatinine measurements, respectively, and the results were collated and analyzed. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 20.0 with level of significance set at P < 0.05.

Results:

The prevalence of microalbuminuria among HIV/AIDS-infected participants was 20.6% when compared with 4.0% for the control group with statistically significant difference (P = 0.001). HAART-treated and HAART-naive groups have prevalence of 18.4% and 22.8%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P = 0.22). Low CD4 count and estimated GFR <90/mL/min/1.73 m2 were associated with the development of microalbuminuria.

Conclusion:

This study has shown that microalbuminuria is common among both HAART-treated and HAART-naive HIV/AIDS patients. Screening for microalbuminuria is recommended in all HIV/AIDS patients to allow for early detection of renal damage.

Published: March 2023

Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) suffer a disproportionate burden of asthma-related deaths. This may be attributed to the underdiagnosis and undertreatment. It remains unclear the extent to which the access to utility of peak flow meters (PFMs) affect the mortality rates recorded across LMICs. The purpose of this narrative review was to offer a comprehensive overview of PFMs’ clinical value for diagnosing and monitoring asthma in low- and middle-income nations. Using the standards for conducting a narrative review, this paper carried out a literature search on three major databases: Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and PubMed. Search terms were created from the variables present in the topic and strung together to find relevant literature. Exclusion criteria were used to ensure that the chosen articles were relevant after a trickle of articles was collected from various databases on the internet. There is limited knowledge about the clinical utility of PFM in LMICs despite the evidence that it can be used to demonstrate large airway obstruction. There is also limited access to the device in most health facilities and patients for self-monitoring. There is a need for more awareness on the usefulness of peak flow among doctors on the utility of the device for asthma diagnosis and monitoring. There is also a need for more research to assess the impact of the poor use of the device on asthma diagnosis, management, and overall outcome.

Authors: Bohra Mohita , Sharma K. K.
Published: March 2023

Cervical disc herniation is most common after lumbar disc herniation. Nerve impingement due to cervical disc herniation causes symptoms that correlate with Sarvanga roga (~quadriparesis). The present case is of a 44-year-old male who reported neck pain, stiffness, and reduced power in bilateral upper and lower limbs, due to which he was unable to walk on his own and unable to perform daily living activities. Ayurveda holds bountiful resources for the management of Vata (~Dosha responsible for movement and cognition) disorders. This patient was treated with oral medicines along with Panchakarma therapy on the line of treatment of Vatavyadhi (~disorders due to Vata). The result was assessed using the Modified Ashworth scale for muscle tone, Medical Research Council scale for muscle power, National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke grading for deep tendon reflex, and Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living. The result obtained after 45 days of treatment helped the patient to walk and perform activities of daily living independently. Treatment provided relief by reducing pain, stiffness, and cervical cord edema and providing strength to local muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments. This case provided positive hope for serious cases like this, where patients are left with the only option of surgery.

Published: March 2023

Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD) is a general term for a group of genetic muscle disorder that occurs at birth (congenital) or early infancy. Muscular dystrophies are characterized by weakness and degeneration of various voluntary muscles of the body. The severity, specific symptoms, and progression of these disorders vary greatly. A six and half-year-old female child was brought by her parents to the outpatient department (OPD) of Kaumarabhritya department, with the chief complaints of toe walking, unable to balance her body, tremors while standing, unable to stand from a sitting position without support, and unable to lift up both legs from the supine position. The patient visited the OPD with a diagnosis as CMD. After examination, internal medications: Bilwadi gutika, Ashwagandha churna, Pippali churna, Pravala bhasma, and Shirisharishta were prescribed along with Panchakarma procedures (~five therapeutic procedures) including Udwartana (~therapeutic massage using powders), Sarvanga abhyanga (~whole body oil massage), Swedana (~sudation therapy), Niruha basti (~therapeutic decoction enema), and Anuvasana basti (~therapeutic unctuous enema). After treatment, improvement in muscle power was seen. The total score of the Barthel index before the study was 70 and after the study was 95, which shows improvement in activity of daily life. Serum creatine phosphokinase and serum creatine kinase-MB values were insignificantly improved before and after treatment. Liver function test, kidney function test, and electrocardiogram before and after treatment were within normal limits, this shows the safety of the internal medication and Ayurvedic Panchakarma procedures. Improvement in the activity of daily life and muscle power seen in the present case gives hope, where there are still no satisfactory management options for patients with CMD are available.

Authors: Buyukozsoy Ayşegul Karadayi , Karatay Emrah , Gok Mehmet Ali
Published: March 2023

Background:

Incisional hernia (IH) is a common complication after abdominal surgery, and there is no gold standard imaging modality for its diagnosis. Although computed tomography is frequently used in clinical practice, it has limitations such as radiation exposure and relatively high cost. The aim of this study is to establish standardization and hernia typing by comparing preoperative ultrasound (US) measurements and perioperative measurements in IH cases.

Methods:

The patients who were operated for IH in our institution between January 2020 and March 2021 were reviewed, retrospectively. In result, 120 patients were included in the study, and the cases had preoperative US images and perioperative hernia measurements. IH was divided into three subtypes as omentum (Type I), intestinal (Type II), and mixed (Type III) according to the defect content.

Results:

Type I IH was detected in 91 cases, Type II IH in 14 cases, and Type III IH in 15 cases. When the diameters of IH types were compared for preoperative US and perioperative measurements, respectively, there was no statistical significance (P = 0.185 and P = 0.262). According to Spearman correlation, there was a positive very strong correlation between preoperative US measurements and perioperative measurements (ρ = 0.861 and P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

As stated by our results, US imaging can be performed easily and quickly, providing a reliable way to accurately detect and characterize an IH. It can also facilitate the planning of surgical intervention in IH by providing anatomical information.

Published: March 2023

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a malignant mesenchymal tumor usually seen in young adults. Most cases occur in the extremities, especially the lower extremities. It is rarely seen in the head-and-neck region, and localization in the larynx and hypopharynx is even rarer. Approximately 20 immunohistochemically defined cases of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal SSs have been reported so far in the literature. We outline the case of a patient with primary hypopharyngeal SS who presented with hoarseness.

Authors: AlTheyab Fatemah S. , AlNofal Ebraheem A.
Published: March 2023

Nasal obstruction is a troublesome condition and negatively impacts the quality of life. One of the most important causes is inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Radiofrequency submucosal tissue ablation is an effective technique used to reduce inferior turbinate volume. It is considered a safe, minimally invasive procedure with a low risk of complications. Most of the complications reported were minor such as pain, edema, sneezing, crustation, and bleeding. This study demonstrates a case of major bleeding as a complication of radiofrequency ablation of inferior turbinate aiming to reduce the incidence of such complication. The patient had major bleeding resulting in a drop in hemoglobin level, however, no surgical intervention was required, and he was managed conservatively.

Authors: Chen Yu , Tung Hsiao-Fan , Hwang Jiunn-Feng
Published: March 2023

To report a case of stroke with internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and retinal artery occlusion (RAO) with multiple emboli identified by infrared images. The patient presented with acute blurred vision and slurred speech since woke up in the morning. Carotid Doppler ultrasonography showed severe left ICA stenosis with the decreased flow. Computed tomography angiography demonstrated left ICA critical stenosis with compensatory flows from the right ICA. There was coexistent RAO with multiple emboli, silver-wiring, and segmentation of the retinal artery. More hyperreflective emboli were uncovered by infrared images of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Embolism may accompany with the compensatory flow for ICA occlusion. RAO patients should have thorough carotid evaluations, especially those with multiple retinal emboli.

Published: March 2023

Background: Although the Korean Society for Cytopathology has developed educational goals as guidelines for cytopathology education in Korea, there is still no systematic approach to cytopathology education status for pathology residents. Furthermore, satisfaction with cytopathology education and with the outcome of the current training/educational program has not been investigated in Korea. This study aimed to obtain comprehensive data on the current state of cytopathology education for residents and evaluate education outcomes. Methods: An online survey was conducted in December 2020 for the board-certified pathologists and training residents registered as members of the Korean Society for Cytopathology. The questionnaire comprised questions that investigated the current status of cytopathology at each training institution, the degree of satisfaction with the work and education related to cytopathology, outcomes of cytopathology training, and educational accomplishments. Results: Of the participants surveyed, 12.3% (132/1,075) completed the questionnaire, and 36.8% (32/87) of cytopathology residents participated. The mean overall satisfaction with cytopathology education was 3.1 points (on a 1- to 5-point scale, 5: very satisfied). The most frequent suggestion among the free description format responses was to expand educational opportunities, such as online education opportunities, outside of the individual institutions. Conclusions: Our results showed that cytopathology training in Korea needs further improvement. We expect that this study will inform systematic training of competent medical personnel armed with broad cytopathology knowledge and strong problem-solving abilities.
Aneurysmal bone cyst: a review
Authors: Nasri Elham , Reith John David
Published: March 2023

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign locally destructive bone neoplasm composed of multi-loculated blood-filled cystic spaces. The most common sites of involvement are the meta-diaphysis of the long bones and posterior elements of the vertebrae. Secondary, ABC-like changes can complicate a variety of other benign and malignant primary bone neoplasms, including giant cell tumor, fibrous dysplasia, and osteosarcoma. About two-third of primary ABCs have a rearrangement of the USP6 gene, which is not present in the ABC-like changes that occur secondary to other primary bone tumors (i.e., secondary ABC). Primary ABC of bone carries a variable but generally high rate of local recurrence. This paper provides an overview of the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, radiographic and pathologic findings, treatment, and prognosis of ABC.

PurposeTo identify important features of lymph node metastasis (LNM) and develop a prediction model for early gastric cancer (EGC) using a gradient boosting machine (GBM) method. Materials and MethodsThe clinicopathologic data of 2556 patients with EGC who underwent gastrectomy were used as training set and the internal validation set (set 1) at a ratio of 8:2. Additionally, 548 patients with EGC who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) as the initial treatment were included in the external validation set (set 2). The GBM model was constructed, and its performance was compared with that of the Japanese guidelines.ResultsLNM was identified in 12.6% (321/2556) of the gastrectomy group (training set & set 1) and 4.3% (24/548) of the ESD group (set 2). In the GBM analysis, the top five features that most affected LNM were lymphovascular invasion, depth, differentiation, size, and location. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the receiver operating characteristics of set 1 were 0.566, 0.922, 0.516, and 0.867, while those of set 2 were 0.810, 0.958, 0.803, and 0.944, respectively. When the sensitivity of GBM was adjusted to that of Japanese guidelines (beyond the expanded criteria in set 1 [0.922] and eCuraC-2 in set 2 [0.958]), the specificities of GBM in sets 1 and 2 were 0.516 (95% confidence interval, 0.502-0.523) and 0.803 (0.795-0.805), while those of the Japanese guidelines were 0.502 (0.488-0.509) and 0.788 (0.780-0.790), respectively.ConclusionThe GBM model showed good performance comparable with the eCura system in predicting LNM risk in EGCs.
Cost-Effectiveness of Expanding Access to Primary Health Care in Rural Rwanda by Adding Laboratory-Equipped Health Posts: A Prospective, Controlled Study
Authors: Shepard Donald S. , Halasa-Rappel Yara A. , Zeng Wu , Rowlands Katharine R. , Musange Sabine F.
Published: March 2023

To improve access to affordable primary health care and preventive services, in 2019 Rwanda’s Ministry of Health inaugurated eight laboratory-equipped second-generation health posts (SGHPs) in the Bugesera District. Patient fees through Rwanda’s insurance system (mutuelles) funded most operational costs through a public–private partnership. This prospective, controlled trial evaluated the posts’ impact and cost-effectiveness. Our evaluation matched the rural cells containing these posts to eight control cells in Bugesera without formal health posts. We assessed costs using 2 years of financial data; accessed use statistics at SGHPs, health centers, and in the international literature; interviewed 1,952 randomly selected residents; conducted eight focus groups; and performed difference-in-differences regressions and survival analyses. Second-generation health posts increased primary care use by 1.83 outpatient visits per person per year (P < 0.0001). Of the 10 prevention indicators compared with trends, two improved significantly with SGHPs (two showed nonsignificant improvements), and one indicator experienced a significant deterioration. Second-generation health posts generated health improvements at a low cost and achieved a small, but favorable, 5% margin of revenues over financial costs. Second-generation health posts produced a very favorable incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of only $101 per disability-adjusted life year averted—only 13% of Rwanda’s per-capita gross national income. In conclusion, SGHPs improved substantially the quantity of affordable outpatient care per person. However, net impacts on quality and completeness of care and prevention, although favorable, were small. For further improvements in access and quality of care, Rwanda’s health authorities may wish to incentivize quality and strengthen coordination with other health system components.
The main measuring point of the first Polish geodetic network on the summit of Łysica in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains in the light of verification archaeological research

Published: March 2023

The first professional geodetic network on Polish soil was established in 1829-1835. It was created for the mines and factories of the Old Polish Industrial District, which remained the largest centre of mining and metallurgy in Poland until the end of the 19th century. The main measuring point was established on the summit of Mount Łysica in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. However, it was promptly destroyed and, despite detailed data published by one director of the project, Professor F.S. Armiński, it has only recently been rediscovered. Test excavations undertaken in 2019 revealed numerous inconsistencies between the archival data and the actual construction of the uncovered foundations.
Avant-Garde, Emergency, and Digital Games Discourse
Authors: Prokopek Aleksandra
Published: March 2023

What may be considered as the greatest emergency in the contemporary world is the lack of a sense of emergency; the prevailing feeling that everything is fine, that, despite ongoing crises, we live in the only acceptable system, and it is impossible to imagine any alternative to it. Mainstream digital games, by offering repetitive, standardised, and predictable forms of gameplay, by focusing on technological advancement, and by exploiting workers in large corporations, became a part of that emergency. According to Santiago Zabala, what is needed to recover the sense of emergency and to break through contemporary complacency, is an “aesthetic force,” a disruptive artistic shock. What is proposed in this article is the possibility of considering the avant-garde as an aesthetical force in the field of videogames; a force that shocks the player and demands something more than a simple contemplation. As presented by game scholars, avant- -garde videogames (through formal experimentation and political intervention) open the medium, and propose games that object to standardised, mindless repetition. Avant-garde games proclaim new ways of playing, accept diversity that opposes the stereotypical image of a player as a white, heterosexual male, and propose new kinds of engagement with the outside world. They tend to “remove the automatism of the perception” by disrupting players’ engagement and through disclosure of the system. To achieve that, avant-garde videogames break through the category of flow, problematize notions of videogame hermeneutic and interrupt the feeling of immersion.
Płeć, sprawczość, siostrzeństwo: dwie wizje „Solidarności” kobiet w dokumentach filmowych. Analiza feministyczna
Authors: Frydrysiak Sandra , Sikorska Karolina
Published: March 2023

In the article, from a feminist perspective, we look at two visions of “Solidarity,” that was co-created by women, shown in documentary films – Solidarity According to Women, 2014, dir. Marta Dzido, Piotr Śliwowski and Women of Freedom, 2019, dir. Wiesław Paluch, Mirosław Basaj. For this purpose, we refer, i.a., to the concept of situated knowledge (Donna Haraway, 2009), its reinterpretation in the context of the category of care (María Puig de la Bellacasa, 2017) or to the category of affective solidarity (Clare Hemmings, 2012). We describe the narrative strategy of Women of Freedom as a story about heroism without heroines, while the one we read in Solidarity According to Women we call heroising of heroines. During the analyzes, we explore different visions of female roles and identities, we also address the topic of sisterhood, both between women involved in the movement and in the relationship between the researcher and the subject of the research. Finally, becoming aware of our own affective dissonance, we consider how critical and sisterly interpretative practices are possible.

Creating an Image of a Scientist in the Media on the Example of Academic Research Universities in Poland

The aim of this paper is to explore how scientists create their image, based on the example of academic teachers working at Polish research universities. Academic teachers are co-creators of the image of the higher education. They are also indirectly responsible for the image of science, the field of study, the scientific discipline they represent, its reception and importance for society. The issue of creating the image of scientists needs to be deepened in the field of scientific literature. The analysis provides a perspective of humanistic management, which main topic are areas directly related to human aspects in managing organizations. The aim of the study was to find an answer to the question of how scientists create their image, as well as to other specific questions. There were qualitative methods used – interviews, as well as quantitative – questionnaires. The research indicated that scientists focus on creating their image by conducting regular scientific research, providing access to their publications, popularizing knowledge and science and developing a network of contacts. For these purposes, they most often use the internet and social media. Their presence in the media is usually used to confirm media agenda. Threats posed by the image shaping of scientists include the creation of pressure and the possibility of experiencing negative comments and criticism.

Published: March 2023

This study aims to find out what constitutes a good class as seen by foreign undergraduates in liberal arts college writing courses. A survey on the perception of a good class was conducted for 211 foreign students taking the College Writing courses. As a result, the factors that constitute a good class according to the students were the following: first, the instructors, second, the class environment, third, the evaluation and the atmosphere, fourth, the contents of education, and lastly, the teaching method by category. The students judged whether the class was good or not, largely according to the instructors’ kindness, the degree of care he or she gave to the students, and the ability of the instructor to communicate. Next, the study found that there was a difference in the perception of a good class according to the level of students’ Korean proficiency. Compared to intermediate and advanced learners, beginner learners recognized writing courses involving the learners' participation as worse in terms of teaching method, evaluation, and atmosphere. If instructors in charge of university writing courses for foreign undergraduate students plan and operate classes with the results of this study in mind, it is expected that the educational effect and student satisfaction will be enhanced.

Published: March 2023

Muslim scholars had reached the pinnacle of scientific culture for more than five centuries. There is no denying that it was the Muslim scholars of the day who shed light on the biological sciences of medieval Europe. If the Nobel Prize had been introduced at that time, only one Muslim would have won the Nobel Prize many times. Prominent mathematician Al Quarizmi has also received numerous awards. The purpose of this study is to identify the contributions of alKhwarizmi, one of the intellectuals of medieval Muslims, to the fields of astronomy, geography and mathematics. The study, which is based on characteristic descriptive methodology, analyzes secondary data such as research articles, texts, journals, and web articles related to the research topic. It is undeniable in today's modern world that medieval Muslim scholars brought the European Dark Ages to the light of knowledge and rose to its zenith. Muhammad ibn Musa alKhwarizmi who was a Persian geographer, trader, mathematician and the pioneer in the field of geography founded algebra in mathematics, algorithms, and algorithms. Hundreds of contributions to the introduction of Indian numerology to Europe and the field of commerce through his book, Arithmetic, further enrich his scholarly contributions. It is therefore irrefutable that his scholarly contributions became known as the results of this study and that his contributions of knowledge will still be talked about in future society.

Published: March 2023

Increase in global competition, ever-changing technologies and unstable business environment as a result of globalization, market liberalization and Covid 19 impact on businesses, have made firms search for other means of survival and growth. Food and beverage manufacturing enterprises are also experiencing these challenges. This is demonstrated by the decrease in contribution to GDP, ranging from 13.6% in the early 1990s to 7.6% in 2020, thereby raising doubt on whether the sector is capable to meet the goals of Vision 2030. Different studies around the world have suggested the adoption of entrepreneurial practices as part of the solution. However, the findings of these studies have been inconclusive. The objective of this study was to establish the influence of Innovativeness on performance of food and beverage manufacturing enterprises in Nairobi City County. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. The target population was one hundred and thirty-eight food and beverage manufacturing firms registered under KAM by 2020. A census was conducted and data was obtained using a questionnaire. Data was analyzed using simple and multiple regression analysis with the help of SPSS version 25.0. Hypothesis was tested using t-statistic at 5% significance level. The study found that innovativeness had a positive influence on performance (regression coefficient 0.446, p-value of 0.000). The study recommends that firms should assess their ability to embrace new ideas and processes that will lead to development of new products, services, markets or technologies. Innovativeness plays an essential role in doing away with challenges associated with businesses.

Intelligent solutions for solving waste collection and disposal problems are sought after everywhere today. In the current situation of our lives, even hospitals/offices and even homes face many problems such as improper garbage collection and disposal. This problem is solved by introducing an autonomous office garbage collection robot (AOTCR). This robot is designed to collect office debris from the workplace or designated locations. The movement of the AOTCR is controlled by programming the Arduino in the robot operating system “ROS”. This is a collection of ROS components (packages) with various features (mapping, map server, planning path, localization, etc.) that work together to enable autonomous robot navigation. The individual components communicate with each other via messages. Here, the Arduino UNO board is used as the central control unit, the ultrasonic sensor is used to monitor the garbage level in the smart trash can, and the sensor is used to provide the garbage content of the garbage. At the same time, the buzzer begins to sound, indicating that the bin is full and communicating with the server. Using this data, the AOTCR identifies bins that fill the floor/workstation and travel a single predefined path for the laser scan (rider) sensor. LIDAR sensors and ROS navigation help you return to the starting position after the centre of the garbage collection or landfill. This solution saves time and protects the office environment from pollution.

Technology has always played a significant role in the evolution and development of societies everywhere. Artificial intelligence is emerging as the next game changer in the field of technology. It is the simulation of human cognitive processes by computers, specifically computer systems. The use of artificial intelligence might considerably improve the overall functioning of the educational system. The key goals of integrating artificial intelligence in educational management and administration are to improve educational and administrative quality. In the classroom, virtual and augmented reality provides students and teachers with real-time teaching and learning experiences. There is an urgent need to expand educational access, provide technical support and guidance to universities, and include provisions for technology-based online learning management systems that support lifelong learning, as well as online administration and management activities that meet the needs of researchers and academicians. The current paper describes how AI can automatically change existing administrative and management systems at the institutional level, as well as electronically modifies traditional teaching and learning techniques by seamlessly integrating with E-learning technology and online Learning Management Systems.

The organization and management of technological production is a complex and very imaginative process which combines economic, technical, organizational and highly efficient solutions. For this purpose, concepts are developed in order to define the logistical goals related to the purchase, production, distribution and disposal of the batch production. As a whole, it formulates logistics systems directly influencing organizational decisions. The management and control of modern logistics systems is based on many hierarchically distributed, organizational levels.[9] On these grounds, the set logistic goals must solve the problems that have to do with the organization and management of production processes.

The research is about registration of signals by optic-electronic devices. The subject of the current work is research of the approximative methods capability to discover anomalous signals in an impulse photometric device. The impulse photometric device ensures a high dimensional and timely resolution of the intensity distribution by natural optic emissions in the earth atmosphere and also light interference near the orbital station. The high spectral sensitivity and the dimensional resolution enable the research of fast processes, including pulsating polar lights, polar arcs, etc. When we discover and identify distant objects, the input informational signal is a continuous process with medium dispersion and correlation function. In the optic-electronic system the signal is a combination of equal values in time.

Published: March 2023

The Correlated Naïve Bayes Algorithm is a statistical learning method that has shown promise in predicting the healing rate of hepatitis patients. Hepatitis is a liver disease that can be chronic or acute and affects millions of people worldwide. The healing rate of patients with hepatitis can vary widely depending on various factors such as age, gender, and medical history. The Correlated Naïve Bayes Algorithm takes into account the correlations between the different attributes of patients and their healing rates, unlike the traditional Naïve Bayes Algorithm. This approach has been shown to improve the accuracy of predictions significantly. In this study, the Correlated Naïve Bayes Algorithm was applied to a dataset of hepatitis patients. The dataset contained information about patients' age, gender, medical history, and other attributes that might affect their healing rates. The algorithm was trained on this dataset to predict the healing rate of new patients. The results showed that the Correlated Naïve Bayes Algorithm achieved higher accuracy in predicting the healing rate of hepatitis patients compared to the traditional Naïve Bayes Algorithm. This suggests that the Correlated Naïve Bayes Algorithm could be a useful tool for healthcare professionals in predicting the healing rate of hepatitis patients, and ultimately improving their treatment and care. Furthermore, the study also investigated the importance of different attributes in predicting the healing rate of hepatitis patients. The results showed that age and medical history were the most important factors, followed by gender and other attributes. The findings of this study have significant implications for the medical community, as accurate prediction of healing rates can inform treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes. The Correlated Naïve Bayes Algorithm provides a powerful tool for healthcare professionals in predicting the healing rate of hepatitis patients, and could be extended to other medical conditions. However, it is important to note that the Correlated Naïve Bayes Algorithm has limitations, such as the assumption of independence between attributes. Therefore, future research should investigate alternative methods that can overcome these limitations and improve the accuracy of predictions further.
