Published: October 2023

Advancements in imaging systems including Electronic Portal Imaging Devices (EPIDs) play a great role in radiotherapy treatment. It was developed as a verification tool for patient setup during radiotherapy sessions and also become a promising tool for the determination of the accurate placement of radiation beams. However, as part of quality assurance, individual patient treatments are often verified by patient-specific quality control measurements such as before treatment (pretreatment) or during treatment (in vivo). It has been shown that in vivo dosimetry using an electronic portal imaging device (EPID) is an effective QC tool to detect errors and this method has been clinically applied to various treatments. The introduction of advanced EPID technology has led to an interest in its application for dose conformation and dose deposition. Moreover, dose deposition is subject to uncertainties due to several factors, including the presence of secondary particles. Thus, knowing the physical processes that produced the secondary particles as well as their average kinetic energy will help to provide valuable information about the effective filtering of these particles or the possible use of these particles for other applications. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to determine the average kinetic energy of detected secondary particles, specifically photons, electrons, and positrons produced by each particular physical interaction as a function of detector position using GATE v9.0. The virtual radiotherapy set-up is composed of the box water phantom, which is the target in the simulations with a dimension of 20 cm × 20 cm × 20 cm, an EPID system (detector), and a beam source in which it uses three (3) beams situated at varying positions with an energy of 6 MeV. The monoenergetic pencil beam source is placed 90 cm away from the center of the target and is directed toward the target (+x-axis) while the EPID (detector) is set as 120 cm SDD (source-to-detector distance). Moreover, the photon beam with 10 million primaries is set with varying field sizes of 1 cm × 1 cm, 3 cm × 3 cm, 6 cm × 6 cm, and 9 cm × 9 cm. Overall, the results show that the highest average kinetic energy among secondary particles produced by each physical interaction are electrons coming from Compton scattering (∼ 3 MeV), followed by positrons and electrons from pair production (∼ 2.4 MeV), photons from annihilation and bremsstrahlung (∼ 0.5 MeV), and electrons from ionization (∼ 0.13 MeV).

Published: October 2023

The implementation of advanced radiotherapy techniques such as Intensity-Modulated RadiationTherapy (IMRT) and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) allows much more accuratecontrol of the irradiation area and more conformal dose delivery. Since these treatments are characterizedby high dose gradients and hence small error margins, they also require advanced and highlyeffective treatment verification techniques. Fortunately, an imaging modality, originally intended forset-up verifications, called the Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) was reported to have hugepotential for dosimetry and treatment verification applications. However, methods and algorithmspreviously developed for EPID dosimetry are not yet widely adopted in cancer centers due to complexitiesin the implementation. These motivate more investigation and development of new methodsto encourage cancer centers to practice EPID dosimetry and improve patient safety.This research generally aims to develop an in-vivo dosimetry method that can be used in the future toapproximate the actual dose delivered inside the target by utilizing the transmitted fluence detectedby the EPID. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations are carried out using the Geant4 Application forTomographic Emission (GATE) to implement a virtual set-up composed of a water target irradiatedwith a monoenergetic 2 MeV photon beam and an EPID model to detect the total transmitted fluence.A mathematical model has been proposed to calculate the target absorbed dose by utilizing the transmittedprimary fluence. This involves back-projection of the transmitted fluence to determine fluencevalues at certain depths inside the irradiated homogeneous medium. This is followed by the calculationof the collision kerma using the back-projected fluence and the values of the linear attenuation coefficientand mass energy absorption coefficient in the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) database. The results show accurate prediction of the fluence values inside the target, calculationof the corresponding values of the collision kerma, and determination of the proportionalityconstant β that relates the collision kerma to the target absorbed dose.

The use of technology in Indonesia has resulted in an increasing demand for electronic and electrical goods, including printed circuit board (PCB) waste. Currently, PCB waste amounts to 20-50 million tons and continues to grow annually. Given that the composition of PCB waste consists of approximately 40% metals such as Ag, Cu, Fe, Au, Sn, and Mn, recycling PCB FR-2 waste can significantly increase its added value. One effective method is employing a concentration technique to recover these metals. This study aims to investigate the impact of particle size and centrifugal force variations on the content and recovery of Cu and Ag metals in PCB FR-2 waste using a Knelson concentrator. The concentration process involved three size variations: -63+100, -100+150, and-150#, along with three centrifugal force values: 60, 90, and 120 G Force. The results indicate that the size variation-100+150# and a centrifugal force value of 90 G Force exhibited effectiveness in recovering Cu and Ag metals, with a minimal mass loss of 3.9%. The Cu and Ag levels reached 67.49% and 0.18%, respectively, with recovery rates of 53.22% and 39.96%.

This research work aimed to assess the suitability of incorporating cassava flour as a supplementary ingredient alongside wheat flour for snacks. In addition, this investigation explored the advantages combining cassava and wheat flours, considered the unique flavor and mixture characteristics imparted by cassava flour. Five different treatments were tested based on the ratios of cassava to wheat flour by dry weight. The aroma, taste, appearance, color, mouthfeel, and overall acceptability of developed snacks were evaluated using sensory tests. The 50 trained panelists trained in 5 -point hedonic scale of 1 (dislike very much) to 5 (like very much). The best snacks preparation composition identified by sensory tests were evaluated for its moisture, ash, color, and texture. Results revealed that the mixture containing a ratio of cassava flour to wheat flour; 25:75 was the most favorable sample across all sensory attributes. Selected best snakes contain moisture content 7.84%, total ash 3.37%. Colour values (L*, a* and b*) were 51.61, 6.80 and 28.78 respectively. Hence, it can be recommended that the snack mixture of 25% cassava flour with 75% wheat flour can be selected as the best snack mixture. The findings may lead to the development of a snack while expanding the understanding of cassava flour's versatility in food production.

Published: October 2023

Labor migration is often seen as a means to offer economic stability to prospective migrants, especially in developing countries. However, the desire for migration becomes less favorable in the absence of the supportive framework fostered by social networks among immigrants. Sri Lankan youth from rural areas who frequently experience financial hardships are being encouraged to migrate to South Korea. This article investigates how social networking influences the subjective well-being of those Sri Lankan labor immigrants in South Korea. In-depth interviews, case studies, and the retrieval of social media data were used to collect data. According to the analysis, the capacity for social networking influences the outcomes of migration. In addition, migration to South Korea has been promoted not as an alternative to existing financial stability solutions, but as a mainstream strategy for enhancing life satisfaction, particularly for young rural men in Sri Lanka. In addition, it is discovered that the host country must provide an environment conducive to the operation of migrant networks. Overall, the article demonstrates that having access to migrant networks is a fundamental element in ensuring the well-being of immigrants.
Carrying the cross for justice: Digital traces of victimhood in Sri Lanka
Authors: Gamage Thushari
Published: October 2023

Victimhood claims in the digital space are often affectively and morally negotiated based on the extent of sharedness of those sentiments and values. However, media-centric and populist political interpretations based on ‘mobilization’ often curtail the exploration of ‘sharedness’ and ‘belonging’ in digital discourses of victimhood. Therefore, this article explores the nature of digital victimhood discourses, their constitution, and how those victimhoods are negotiated in digital collectives. The article combines affective victimhood with chronotope to analyze digital discourses on ‘public acts’ carried out by members of the public seeking justice for the Easter attack victims of 2019. Accordingly, the article focuses on Facebook posts and comment sequences on “Jehan Appuhamy carrying the cross” to mark the third anniversary of the attacks in April 2022. Data is gathered from four Facebook posts containing a collection of videos and images combined with a selected 3142 post-comment sequences. The article finds that affective and moral understandings of victimhood are negotiated in interaction with right-wing populist undertones and resistance discourses of the people’s protest. The narratives of justice, threat, empathy, and solidarity constitute a multifaceted expression of discontent, representing both a struggle against those in power and a quest to connect with like-minded individuals, irrespective of the specific cause for such sentiments. Additionally, it involves rallying support from friends, sharing feelings of discontent, and motivating them to take action. Thus, digital belonging is fractally nested in specific timespace configurations.

Seismic expression of the Codroy Group in the St. George's Bay lowlands, Newfoundland and Labrador
Authors: Durling P W
Published: October 2023

A composite stratigraphic section of the Codroy Group in the St. George's Bay lowlands was assembled from published stratigraphic sections and borehole data, in concert with published biostratigraphic data. The relative placement of stratigraphic sections in the
composite section was guided by a form line contour map, which was constructed using bedding attitudes compiled from published geological maps. The composite section comprises a thick (~1000m), evaporite dominated, lower interval; a medial interval characterised by clastic, carbonate and
evaporite rocks; and an upper clastic dominated interval. The lower evaporite interval correlates with Subzone A of the Windsor Group, the middle carbonate interval with Subzone B, and the upper interval with Windsor Subzones D and E. Average rock properties were assigned to the various strata in
the composite section and a synthetic seismic trace was computed. The synthetic seismic trace provides insight into the nature and thickness of the Codroy Group imaged on seismic reflection data in the immediately adjacent offshore area beneath St. George's Bay.

Published: October 2023

Background:

COVID-19 infection is associated with neurological manifestations, including various types of movement disorders (MD). A thorough review of individual patients with COVID-19-induced MD would help in better understanding the clinical profile and outcome of these patients and in prognostication.

Objective:

We conducted an individual patient-systematic review to study the clinical and imaging profile and outcomes of patients with COVID-19-associated MD.

Methods:

A systematic literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases was conducted by two independent reviewers. Individual patient data COVID from case reports and case series on COVID-19-associated MD, published between December 2019 and December 2022, were extracted and analyzed.

Results:

Data of 133 patients with COVID-19-associated MD from 82 studies were analyzed. Mean age was 55 ± 18 years and 77% were males. A mixed movement disorder was most commonly seen (41%); myoclonus-ataxia was the most frequent (44.4%). Myoclonus significantly correlated with age (odds ratio (OR) 1.02P= 0.03, CI 1-1.04). Tremor had the longest latency to develop after SARS-CoV-2 infection [median (IQR) 21 (10-40) days,P= 0.009, CI 1.01-1.05]. At short-term follow-up, myoclonus improved (OR 14.35,Pvalue = 0.01, CI 1.71-120.65), whereas parkinsonism (OR 0.09,Pvalue = 0.002, CI 0.19-0.41) and tremor (OR 0.16,Pvalue = 0.016, CI 0.04-0.71) persisted.

Conclusion:

Myoclonus-ataxia was the most common movement disorder after COVID-19 infection. Myoclonus was seen in older individuals and usually improved. Tremor and parkinsonism developed after a long latency and did not improve in the short-term.
Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Design Incorporated into Design of Street Space in Small Cities
Authors: Song Lei
Published: October 2023

INTRODUCTION: At present, China's urbanization continues to develop, but the level of urban planning and design has not kept pace with the progress of development, especially the creation of street space in small cities, which is still not able to adapt to the current needs of people's cultural life. With the development of the economy and science and technology, artificial intelligence and other information technologies are constantly integrated into daily life. Therefore, utilizing artificial intelligence for street space design research is significant.
OBJECTIVES: To improve the development level of artificial intelligence, information technology, and the application level of artificial intelligence in China; to solve the problem of the relatively low level of street space design in the current city, especially in small towns, to meet the needs of people's cultural life; to promote the improvement of the level of artificial intelligence in China for the convenience of civil life, and to further improve the level of street space design in China.
METHODS: Firstly discusses the theories, such as the principles of street space design in small cities, to illustrate the necessity of integrating AI into street space design in small towns; secondly, the model established by AI is used to optimize the street space in small cities; finally, the feasibility of integrating AI design into street space design in small towns is illustrated through cases and examples.
RESULTS: Street space design in small cities in China needs more design aesthetics, and artificial intelligence needs to be integrated into street space design. Artificial intelligence has a noticeable optimization effect on street space design, and using artificial intelligence can improve the design level of limited space. Also illustrates that artificial intelligence can be better integrated into the street space design of small cities through cases.
CONCLUSION: In the context of the digital era, the street space design of small cities needs to apply artificial intelligence. In modernization-oriented urban construction, the street space design level of small towns should be further strengthened to improve the modernization level of cities.
Random walks on mapping class groups
Authors: Baik Hyungryul , Choi Inhyeok
Published: October 2023

This survey is concerned with random walks on mapping class groups. We illustrate how the actions of mapping class groups on Teichmüller spaces or curve complexes reveal the nature of random walks and vice versa. Our emphasis is on the analogues of classical theorems such as laws of large numbers and central limit theorems and the properties of harmonic measures under optimal moment conditions. We also explain the geometric analogy between Gromov hyperbolic spaces and Teichmüller spaces that has been used to copy the properties of random walks from one to the other.
BC-system, absolute cyclotomy and the quantized calculus
Authors: Connes Alain , Consani Caterina
Published: October 2023

We give a short survey on several developments on the BC-system, the adele class space of the rationals, and on the understanding of the “zeta sector” of the latter space as the Scaling Site. The new result that we present concerns the description of the BC-system as the universal Witt ring (i.e.,

K

-theory of endomorphisms) of the “algebraic closure” of the absolute base

\mathbb{S}

. In this way we attain a conceptual meaning of the BC dynamical system at the most basic algebraic level. Furthermore, we define an invariant of Schwartz kernels in one dimension and relate the Fourier transform (in one dimension) to its role over the algebraic closure of

\mathbb{S}

. We implement this invariant to prove that, when applied to the quantized differential of a function, it provides its Schwarzian derivative. Finally, we survey the roles of the quantized calculus in relation to Weil's positivity, and that of spectral triples in relation to the zeros of the Riemann zeta function.

For any Levi subalgebra of the form

we construct a quotient of the category of annular quantum

\mathfrak{gl}_{n}

webs that is equivalent to the category of finite-dimensional representations of quantum

\mathfrak{l}

generated by exterior powers of the vector representation. This can be interpreted as an annular version of skew Howe duality, gives a description of the representation category of

\mathfrak{l}

by additive idempotent completion, and a web version of the generalized blob algebra.
Subproduct systems with quantum group symmetry
Authors: Habbestad Erik , Neshveyev Sergey
Published: October 2023

We introduce a class of subproduct systems of finite dimensional Hilbert spaces whose fibers are defined by the Jones–Wenzl projections in Temperley–Lieb algebras. The quantum symmetries of a subclass of these systems are the free orthogonal quantum groups. For this subclass, we show that the corresponding Toeplitz algebras are nuclear C

^*

-algebras that are

KK

-equivalent to

\mathbb C

and obtain a complete list of generators and relations for them. We also show that their gauge-invariant subalgebras coincide with the algebras of functions on the end compactifications of the duals of the free orthogonal quantum groups. Along the way we prove a few general results on equivariant subproduct systems, in particular, on the behavior of the Toeplitz and Cuntz–Pimsner algebras under monoidal equivalence of quantum symmetry groups.
Prevalence and risk factors of lymphatic dysfunction in cirrhosis patients with refractory ascites: An often unconsidered mechanism

Published: October 2023

Patients with liver cirrhosis are advised to limit their sodium consumption to control excessive fluid accumulation. Salt is the most common form in which sodium is consumed daily. Consequently, various recommendations urge patients to limit salt intake. However, there is a lack of consistency regarding salt restriction across the guidelines. Moreover, there is conflicting evidence regarding the efficacy of salt restriction in the treatment of ascites. Numerous studies have shown that there is no difference in ascites control between patients with restriction of salt intake and those without restriction. Moreover, patients with cirrhosis may have several negative effects from consuming too little salt, although there are no recommendations on the lower limit of salt intake. Sodium is necessary to maintain the extracellular fluid volume; hence, excessive salt restriction can result in volume contraction, which could negatively impact kidney function in a cirrhotic patient. Salt restriction in cirrhotic patients can also compromise nutrient intake, which can have a negative impact on the overall outcome. There is insufficient evidence to recommend restricted salt intake for all patients with cirrhosis, including those with severe hyponatremia. The existing guidelines on salt restriction do not consider the salt sensitivity of patients; their nutritional state, volume status and sodium storage sites; and the risk of hypochloremia. This opinion article aims to critically analyze the existing literature with regard to salt recommendations for patients with liver cirrhosis and identify potential knowledge gaps that call for further research.

The rise in incidence rates of invasive candidiasis warrants an increase in attention and efforts toward preventing and treating this virulent infection. Cardiac involvement is one of the most feared sequelae and has a poor prognosis. Despite the introduction of several novel antifungal agents over the past quarter century, complications and mortality rates due to Candida endocarditis have remained high. Although fungal endocarditis has a mechanism similar to bacterial endocarditis, no specific diagnostic criteria or algorithm exists to help guide its management. Furthermore, recent data has questioned the current guidelines recommending a combined approach of antifungal agents with surgical valve or indwelling prostheses removal. With the emergence of multidrug-resistant Candida auris , a focus on improved prophylactic measures and management strategies is necessary.

This article presents the museum in the contemporary world in a metamuseological way, id est in a way that includes the historical and philosophical discourse of the existence of a cultural institution. Museum templum, museum forum, slow museum, attentive museum and other concepts are intended to show how cultural institutions are shaped to fit into the concept of the asylum museum. The museum's various metamorphoses have brought it from a “boring” to an attractive model to resemble a postmodern asylum, where the sphere of communication should be developed in order for the audience to experience culture in an inclusive way.

Toda essa trajetória de mudanças permitiu que a sociedade como um todo se mantivesse mais conectada às ferramentas tecnológicas, o que evidencia um investimento maior de tempo acessando as redes. Em contrapartida, verificou-se ainda que as relações entre as pessoas também passaram por um processo de transformação, em que muitos deixam de lado o contato com o seu próximo, para se manter mais tempo conectado ao mundo virtual. Ademais, notou-se que, com a chegada da tecnologia à sociedade, as informações eram adquiridas de maneira muito mais rápida do que antes, e chegavam a resolver questões numa velocidade quase que impraticável. Com isso, salienta-se que o progresso tecnológico voltado para a utilização da Inteligência Artificial vem trazendo enormes benefícios para a sociedade e o sujeito. Cita-se como bom aproveitamento da Inteligência Artificial na Educação o uso de plataformas educacionais e ainda de busca, como a Google, imprescindíveis para o estudo EAD. Diante dessa perspectiva, ressalta-se que o avanço da tecnologia ganhou evidência, não somente na sociedade, mas inclusive na área da Educação, permitindo a chegada de diversos benefícios para a melhoria do processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Este estudo foi edificado por meio de uma pesquisa de caráter bibliográfico, que contribuiu com a coleta de material teórico para que se pudesse discutir aqui a temática envolvida.

Introduction: The rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms, which pose a grave threat, has made choosing antibiotics to treat bacterial infections incredibly challenging. The prescription antibiotics have to consistently be effective against the identified related infections. Thus the research team wanted to find the antibiotic sensitivity profiles and pathogenic bacterial isolates in various patient specimens. Methods: The collection of 403 clinical samples of throat swabs, sputum, blood, stool, and urine from people of both genders and various ages was performed aseptically. Identification was carried out by microscopic, cultural, biochemical, and serological analysis. Finally, the disk diffusion method by Kirby-Bauer was employed to determine antibiotic responsiveness profiling. Results: A total of 93 samples (23.08%) were identified as positive isolates comprising 28.74% (25/87) of urine culture, followed by 24.32% (27/111) of  blood, 23.08% (15/65) of stool, 20% (07/35) of throat swabs, and 18.1% (19/105) of sputum culture. Gram-negative bacteria 81(87.1%) showed more prevalence than Gram-positive bacteria 12 (12.90%). The most frequently identified isolates were Klebsiella spp. (24%), Salmonella spp. (23%), E. coli (17%), Pseudomonas spp. (5%), and Enterococcus spp. (3%). The infections showed more prevalence within the age group of 16-46 years (60.2%) and among males (48%) than females (46%). Conclusions: It was found that E. coli was the most abundant bacteria isolated from urine, Klebsiella spp. was the most abundant bacteria isolated from sputum and throat swabs, and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli was the most abundant bacteria isolated from stool. Amikacin, Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin, Imipenem, and Levofloxacin were considerably effective antibiotics, whereas Cefotaxime, Ceftazidime, Cefuroxime, Mecillinam, and Meropenem were least effective.
