Published: October 2024

Breast cancer is a prominent form of cancer that is frequently detected and is a primary cause of mortality in women. Healthcare organizations prefer to utilize ultrasound imaging as the main method for detecting breast cancer due to its superior safety compared to other imaging techniques. Previous research mainly focused on handcrafted engineering, which is less accurate, time-consuming, and costly. However, we proposed a novel ensemble transfer framework for the early detection of breast cancer via ultrasound imaging. Three powerful transfer learning models such as VGG-16, EfficientNet-B2, and DenseNet-121 are utilized in the development of the ensemble framework. By employing transfer learning methodologies, the framework achieves enhanced computational efficacy in comparison to traditional deep learning approaches. The dataset for ultrasound breast imaging consists of three classes: normal, benign, and malignant. The use of cutting-edge augmentation techniques addresses the dataset's imbalance issues. The experimental findings indicate that the proposed framework demonstrates an accuracy rate of 99.74% in identifying breast cancer on the testing dataset, and it attained a testing loss of 0.013. The proposed framework has shown superior performance in comparison to existing studies.

Introduction: Working mothers from different cultures have been heavily challenged during the different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. Infectious disease outbreaks increase women’s missions, which challenge their abilities to balance time among the different tasks. The purpose of this study was to capture the voices of working Arab mothers through their posts on Twitter to explore the challenges they faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to understand how working Arab women’s lives were affected and how the pandemic’s burden interacted with existing challenges in Arab women’s lives, such as gender hierarchies and patriarchal social structure.

Methodology: Arab mothers’ posts on Twitter during the first 3 months of the pandemic (March–June 2020) were extracted manually. The search strategy followed included a combination of terms searched in Arabic, with each keyword being searched separately with one of the fixed terms (COVID-19 or Corona) in the search engine. Keywords searched for are work, mother/s, worker/s, working mothers, children, kids, husband, online teaching, cleaning, tired, pressure, and home chores. Only 40 posts were relevant and included in the current study. Conventional content analysis was followed to analyze the mothers’ posts on Twitter.

Results: The findings showed that these mothers struggled to manage family, household, and children’s online learning (N = 14); work from home and/or be at the worksite (N = 12); the negative consequences on mental and social wellbeing (N = 17); and the financial crises during the pandemic (N = 4). They were disappointed with the insufficient support provided by husbands (N = 2) and the government’s response in addressing their needs as working mothers during the pandemic (N = 7).

Conclusion: Recognizing the extent to which disease outbreaks affect women is a fundamental step to understanding the effects of health emergencies on them and creating effective policies and interventions. Public health policies, measures, and media are needed to promote better self-care for families, especially mothers, to avoid future tensions in the healthcare system during and after the pandemic.

Screen dewatering is widely used in ore dressing operations. A deep understanding of its intrinsic mechanisms can enable the improvement of economic and even mitigation of environmental impacts. The dewatering of iron ore fines has been approached by different ways in recent years. Several authors consider that moisture decrease is essentially linked to residence time, while others attempt to treat this process via parametric modeling. This work explores the comparison between the van Genuchten's porous media dewatering model and the King’s dewatering model, in order to make these two independent models compatible. This approach has the potential to overcome the difficulties of existing approaches by providing a useful and robust modelling alternative.

Background: Appendicitis, an inflammation of the appendix, is a prevalent medical condition with varied clinical presentations. It primarily affects individuals between 5 and 45 years of age, with a higher incidence in males. Although appendicitis is common in Western countries, its rates are increasing in developing regions. Aim: This updated review aims to explore the clinical presentations, diagnostic approaches, and risk factors of appendicitis, with a focus on typical and atypical signs, as well as the role of imaging in diagnosis. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, incorporating studies on appendicitis risk factors, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic strategies. Data on clinical presentations, anatomical variations, and the effectiveness of imaging modalities were examined. Results: The review highlights that typical symptoms of appendicitis include migratory pain, anorexia, nausea, and fever, but atypical presentations are common in children, the elderly, and pregnant women. Delayed diagnosis in these groups can lead to complications such as perforation and peritonitis. Diagnostic imaging, including ultrasonography, CT scans, and MRI, plays a crucial role in identifying appendicitis, with CT scans being the gold standard.
