Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

OpenAI’s ChatGPT is a source of advanced online health information (OHI) that may be integrated into individuals’ health information-seeking routines. However, concerns have been raised about its factual accuracy and impact on health outcomes. To forecast implications for medical practice and public health, more information is needed on who uses the tool, how often, and for what.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to characterize the reasons for and types of ChatGPT OHI use and describe the users most likely to engage with the platform.

METHODS

In this cross-sectional survey, patients received invitations to participate via the ResearchMatch platform, a nonprofit affiliate of the National Institutes of Health. A web-based survey measured demographic characteristics, use of ChatGPT and other sources of OHI, experience characterization, and resultant health behaviors. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Both 2-tailed t tests and Pearson chi-square tests were used to compare users of ChatGPT OHI to nonusers.

RESULTS

Of 2406 respondents, 21.5% (n=517) respondents reported using ChatGPT for OHI. ChatGPT users were younger than nonusers (32.8 vs 39.1 years, P<.001) with lower advanced degree attainment (BA or higher; 49.9% vs 67%, P<.001) and greater use of transient health care (ED and urgent care; P<.001). ChatGPT users were more avid consumers of general non-ChatGPT OHI (percentage of weekly or greater OHI seeking frequency in past 6 months, 28.2% vs 22.8%, P<.001). Around 39.3% (n=206) respondents endorsed using the platform for OHI 2-3 times weekly or more, and most sought the tool to determine if a consultation was required (47.4%, n=245) or to explore alternative treatment (46.2%, n=239). Use characterization was favorable as many believed ChatGPT to be just as or more useful than other OHIs (87.7%, n=429) and their doctor (81%, n=407). About one-third of respondents requested a referral (35.6%, n=184) or changed medications (31%, n=160) based on the information received from ChatGPT. As many users reported skepticism regarding the ChatGPT output (67.9%, n=336), most turned to their physicians (67.5%, n=349).

CONCLUSIONS

This study underscores the significant role of AI-generated OHI in shaping health-seeking behaviors and the potential evolution of patient-provider interactions. Given the proclivity of these users to enact health behavior changes based on AI-generated content, there is an opportunity for physicians to guide ChatGPT OHI users on an informed and examined use of the technology.

Religious Fundamentalism: A Theoretical-Constitutional Analysis
Authors: Oliveira de Souza Rodrigo Lobato
Published: December 2023

This Article analysis the phenomenon of religious fundamentalism from a theoretical-constitutional perspective. The two basic questions are: what religious fundamentalism is? And what are its boundaries? At one side, religious fundamentalism is seen as a fundamental right (religious freedom) exercise, thus appointing proper constitutional boundaries in order to harmonize it with other rights, values, goods and interests. That is the question for applying balancing. From another side, religious fundamentalism is seen as a political control strategy, a platform for achieving political aims through a religiously based fundamentalist discourse. The Article demonstrates that not only the fundamentalist phenomenon crosses the constitutional boundaries of fundamental rights exercise, rather it denies central pieces of modern liberal constitutionalism.

Published: December 2023

The possibility of applying a tensor approach to the mathematical model construction of the network and communication node state in the algebraic space of tensor field is proposed, taking into account the factors of destructive impact by an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) causing functional damage to the structural elements of communication equipment (routers, controls, computing equipment and monitoring) of networks and communication nodes. To construct the specified mathematical model under conditions of destructive influence, taking into account the provisions of network tensor analysis, a 2-simplex structure at the router level is introduced: a set of closed and open paths connecting nodes with N possible connections in total. The whole set of structures is considered as a particular coordinate system within N-dimensional space, corresponding to various ways of connecting N branches, while maintaining their original number or moving from one set of independent paths to another within the analyzed space without loss of quality and performance characteristics of the communication equipment of networks and communication nodes. Taking into account the size, quantity of source data and multi-criteria, the solution of problems of optimizing the characteristics, properties and structure of a communication system that is subject to destructive influence, including networks and routing nodes, is carried out in parts, iteratively involving special methods. In future, the use of this model at the stage of the network and communication node parameter optimizing will allow to account them in the benefit of protection from negative (destructive) impact threats, followed by the mathematical model formation to ensure functional stability of networks and communication nodes of critical purpose.

Published: December 2023

During the operation of photovoltaic systems, a large amount of converted energy, according to various parameters, does not participate in the consumer power supply. As a result, the efficiency of solar installations and the reliability of electric power supply are reduced. This happens for various reasons, but primarily due to the imperfect operation of automatic control systems for photovoltaic installations. These systems are controlled by the information equipment of the entire installation based on software and control algorithms. The imperfection of these algorithms does not allow the full use of solar generation of photovoltaic panels and degrades the quality of operation of all the main and auxiliary equipment of the power generating complex. In the presented work, studies were carried out to improve the operation of the solar power supply system and increase its reliability. The proposed solutions were based on the use of new methods for tracking the maximum power point using high-tech algorithms to control the photovoltaic generating system. In this paper, a generalized Matlab-Simulink solar cell operation model was proposed. The basis of the proposed model is a simple mathematical equation to simulate the operation of a solar photovoltaic cell, since the output characteristics of photovoltaic modules are non-linear. The output I-V and P-V properties of a photovoltaic cell depend on the temperature of the cell and solar radiation. The physical characteristics of a particular solar photovoltaic cell can be modeled as a function of temperature and solar radiation. Numerous models use various software platforms that are available in the literature. This simulation model is very simple and easy to use. Simulation results in Matlab Simulink demonstrate the functionality and dynamic behavior of the provided solar module. Based on the study, it was found that the proposed algorithms can significantly improve the efficiency of photovoltaic installations, taking into account the use of new control methods. The power generated from solar energy converters was used more efficiently, and the photovoltaic system operated at a high conversion rate.
Slotted-Waveguide Antenna Array Development by Means of Complementarity оf CST Microwave Studio and Compass 3D Programs
Authors: Tatarkin N. M. , Zaitseva E. M. , Shishakov K. V.
Published: December 2023

The main steps of the methodology for complex slotted-waveguide antenna arrays development using the complementary application of the COMPASS 3D design program and electromagnetic modeling CST Microwave Studio are considered. The presentation of the technique steps is carried out on the example of a structurally complex slotted-waveguide antenna array of the Ka-band with dimensions (117 mm ´ 30 mm) and two-dimensional array of 64 (2 ´ 8 ´ 4) slotted emitters. To facilitate the synthesis of the design parameters of such grids, it is proposed to use a three-stage process: 1) design of slotted antenna emitting modules with adjustment to a given operation frequency range; 2) development of harmonized multichannel power divider for them; 3) combining the antenna modules and the branched power divider into an effective antenna array with additional adjustment of their coordination parameters. According to this sequence, in the illustrated example, on the first step, the antenna emitter module with four slits is designed in the CST Microwave Studio program. Afterwards, on the second stage, a complex multi-channel waveguide power divider was designed. It is first drawn in COMPASS 3D and then imported and analysed in CST Microwave Studio. On the final third stage, the entire slotted-waveguide antenna array was assembled and simulated in CST Microwave Studio. At the same time, the obtained radiation pattern of the antenna array, the functions of electromagnetic field distribution in the waveguide path and other electromagnetic characteristics corresponded to the required ones. Equally, there was a slight shift in the standing wave ratio (SWR) of the operating frequency matching, as well as some deterioration in the SWR. This is explained by the fact that the links between the models of antenna emitters and the waveguide power distributor were carried out 'in ideal ports'. Meanwhile, the real values of the input resistances in these planes of the assembled structure are somewhat different from the ideal ones. Therefore, to complete the process of structural synthesis of the antenna-slot array, two approaches should be used: 1) it is better to complete design parameter optimization according to the criterion of improving the harmonization, if required to shift the operating frequency, 2) to reduce the SWR value, it is better to improve the coordination of the antenna array at its input by adjusting the matching device.

Authors: Shchenyatsky A. V. , Shatalov K. S. , Shatalova O. M.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the research of issues related to the organization of control systems for heat pump installations (HPS). HPS is used to use low-potential energy of the environment in the heat supply of buildings. HPS with horizontal ground heat exchangers (HGHE) are of great importance for improving energy efficiency. The efficiency and reliability of HPS with HGHE strongly depends on the state of the soil temperature field. A large number of scientific publications are devoted to modeling soil temperature fields forHGHEparameterdetermination; a significant part of them is devoted to the study of vertical ground heat exchangers. Scientific developments presented in foreign publications on modeling the temperature field of the HGHE location environment are focused on the use of HPS in the cold supply mode and/or in the heat supply mode under conditions of a slight decrease in temperature, which excludes soil freezing. The aim of the study was to apply the existing methods of the analytical theory of thermal conductivity to develop a soil-environment TP model for the placement of a HGHE HPS; the developed model is intended for engineering calculations of the main design HGHEparameters; the model is also applicable to determine the annual specific heat flow as an important parameter in the optimal control system of the HPI. The development of the model is based on the condition of a two-element structure of the soil massif: under the HGHE and above the HGHE; the target parameter is the temperature of the soil mass, depending on the coordinate and time, disclosed through the indicator 'relative temperature rise'; in accordance with the provisions of the thermal conductivitytheory, the relative excess temperature is given for the cases of a semi-infinite body (soil mass under the HGHE) and a slab (soil mass above the HGHE). The proposed model is implemented on the example of two constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The results obtained made it possible to determine the minimum guaranteed possibility of using HPS for heat supply in these climatic conditions. The model presented in the article can be used as a context for further studies of the main parameters of HGHE HPS operation and optimization of HPS operation modes.

Published: December 2023

The paper analyzes the possibility of operating range expanding of natural gas state equations for low temperatures. The state equations of natural gas and methods of estimating the compressibility factor, entrenched in modern national and international standards, were analyzed. It has been shown that the range of their applicability is limited to a temperature value of 250 K, however, these temperature limitations is not restricted bystate equations directly butstipulated by the lack of reliable data about natural gas compressibility factor values at temperatures below 250 K and methods for complementary errorcalculation that may arise. The results of comparison of values of natural gas compressibility factor as a function of temperature at pressure of 1.3 and 6 MPa calculated by means of the most widely used state equations are presented. It was found that the results of the calculation according to the considered methods have satisfactory convergence within the range of 220 K, that generally confirms the applicability of modern state equations for low temperatures. In its turn, the effect of assumptions applied nowadays to definegas volume flow rateon flow metering error showed that application of substitutive compressibility values may result in significant complementary systematic error. This indicates the practicability of expanding the database of compressibility factor values for natural gas for low temperatures, as well as developmentof a standard to assess the value of the corresponding complementary error.

Authors: Susiswo  , Darmawan Puguh , Murtafiah Wasilatul , Osman Sharifah
Published: December 2023

This research aims to determine the thinking activity types dominated by a mental process in producing answers characterized by automatic, unconscious, and subjective-empirical processes (system 1) in solving problems so that the default-interventionist interaction occurs. This research novelty is the formulation of the contents and thinking activity arrangement adapted to students' thinking when solving problems. The problem used in this research is a mathematical problem that triggers students to produce answers quickly with confidence that the answers are correct at a high level. Another problem is about probability because the mode of occurrence of students' learning difficulties at the secondary school level occurs when learning the concept of probability. This is qualitative research with a case study approach. The research subjects were students of Mathematics Education in semester 1. The results showed that thinking activity one could condition the occurrence of type 1 default-interventionist interaction. Thinking activity two could condition the occurrence of type 2 default-interventionist interaction. Thinking activity three could condition the occurrence of type 3 default-interventionist interaction. This research concluded that the default-interventionist interaction occurred because the content and arrangement of the thinking activity conditioned the subjects to pay attention to information gradually and change the subjects’ beliefs. Lecturers were recommended to produce, develop, and research thinking activities on topics other than probability at various levels of education. The default-interventionist interaction was essential to be conditioned when system one dominated students' thinking, causing difficulties.

Published: December 2023

Efforts to prevent gender-based violence will progress slowly without involving men. Socialization and education tend to be targeted towards women’s groups, with few including men as subjects in the anti-violence education process. This article discusses several important lessons learned from the mentoring process of Marriage Registrar Officials at the Office of Religious Affairs in East Lampung, Indonesia, by the Rahima Association. The study is the result of observations on the mentoring process of Marriage Registrar Officials who have internalized the values of justice and reciprocity in family relations. The research data are supported by interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation. This article argues that the involvement of male religious figures in preventing family violence is essential for two reasons. First, in textual societies, male ulama have a strategic role in reproducing more egalitarian and just knowledge. Second, the process of building gender-just awareness requires authoritative actors in the process of building knowledge from shared experience to be more legitimate. The article also explains the theoretical foundations of the successful mentoring approach that has transformed the outlook of male Marriage Registrar Officials who have the drive to effect change in Muslim society regarding equal and just family relations through their duties and functions.

Las políticas públicas, como acciones para abordar problemas sociales, a menudo presentan deficiencias en la definición, justificación y formulación de objetivos, afectando directamente su efectividad. Este estudio se enfoca en evaluar el diseño de políticas públicas para mejorar su adaptación a contextos territoriales. La metodología empleada es un enfoque evaluativo comparativo, que incluye el análisis de diversos modelos de evaluación para crear uno nuevo. La ruta de evaluación propuesta consta de cuatro fases: fundamentación estratégica, exploración y contextualización profunda en la evaluación de diseño, análisis de resultados de la evaluación y elaboración y divulgación del informe final. Estas fases comprenden ocho categorías, destacando aspectos como el componente estratégico de la política pública y su alineación con perspectivas locales e internacionales. Los resultados proporcionan un marco integral para evaluar y mejorar el diseño de políticas públicas, impulsando su eficacia y adaptabilidad.

The selection and appointment process during recruitment has evolved throughout the Islamic ages in terms of controls and principles that are based on by the state because the selection and appointment process works to achieve the goals of the institution or organization, as this study aimed to introduce the selection and appointment controls in the Umayyad and Abbasid era, as these two eras are The most important Islamic eras that took care of this aspect, and most of these points will be addressed by identifying the most important caliphs who were interested in the selection and appointment process, and through the descriptive historical analytical method we try to reach the most important points that highlight the selection process The appointment is in accordance with the Islamic regulations that must be followed during the recruitment process. The result concluded that the Umayyad and Abbasid eras provided us with an advanced understanding of the criteria for selection and appointment based on merit and competence.
Variables epidemiológicas que condicionan la presentación de leptospirosis
Authors: V Martin
Published: December 2023

Leptospirosis, una enfermedad zoonótica de distribución mundial, es causada por espiroquetas del géneroLeptospira. Se presenta en algunas zonas en forma endémica y se asocia a factores ambientales,precipitaciones, temperatura, exposición a animales infectados e inundaciones. Esta enfermedad puedemanifestarse con una amplia variedad de signos clínicos, desde formas leves a cuadros graves ypotencialmente fatales. Los síntomas tanto en el hombre como en caninos pueden confundirse condiferentes patologías multisistémicas y enfermedades hemorrágicas de origen viral. Es importante uncorrecto diagnóstico (clínico y de laboratorio) al inicio de los síntomas para evitar casos graves y muertesen situaciones de brotes. Las vacunas comerciales pueden prevenir casos en caninos, pero la protección estálimitada a los serovares presentes en el lugar. Esfuerzos y colaboración de varios sectores, bajo el conceptode “Una Salud”, son fundamentales para garantizar una salud óptima ambiental, animal y especialmentehumana, tanto a nivel local, nacional como global.
Teaching Virtual Forensic Anthropology Labs: Methods and Reflections

Published: December 2023

Development of virtual labs for Forensic Anthropology was complicated by the notion that the skeleton cannot be learned without physical manipulation. This was addressed by using free programs to teach using 3D models of bone. Successes and shortcomings are discussed based on student and educator feedback. Integration of 3D models in teaching is plausible as it reduces deterioration of specimens and increases accessibility of the lab, however, the ethics of digital archaeology, including curation of human skeletal models, is an unsolved challenge. Overall, although 3D modelling cannot replace hands-on learning, teaching virtually can indeed ensure high-quality instruction is delivered.
Nemiri – ustanak ‒ puč – revolucija
Authors: Švoger Vlasta
Published: December 2023

U radu se analizira recepcija Rakovičkoga ustanka u novinama na njemačkom jeziku koje su izlazile u austrijskom dijelu Austro-Ugarske Monarhije. Istraženo je koje su novine i na koji način izvještavale o ustanku u Rakovici u listopadu 1871., izvori iz kojih su preuzimale informacije te različiti aspekti ustanka o kojima se u njima pisalo. Analiza je obuhvatila i recepciju glavnih aktera ustanka, ponajprije Eugena Kvaternika, te značenje ustanka u političkom kontekstu Austro-Ugarske Monarhije prema interpretaciji onodobnoga austrijskog tiska.

Objective: To examine the association between diabetes stigma, socioeconomic status, psychosocial variables, and substance use in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Research Design and Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of AYAs from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study who completed a survey on diabetes-related stigma, generating a total diabetes stigma score. Using multivariable modeling, stratified by diabetes type, we examined the relationship of diabetes stigma with variables of interest.

Results: Of the 1,608 AYAs who completed the diabetes-related stigma survey, 78% had type 1 diabetes and mean age was 21.7 years. Higher diabetes stigma scores were associated with food insecurity (p = 0.001), disordered eating (p < 0.0001), depressive symptoms (p < 0.0001), and decreased health-related (p < 0.0001) and diabetes-specific quality of life (p < 0.0001).

Conclusions: Diabetes stigma is associated with food insecurity, disordered eating, and lower psychosocial well-being.
Understanding the coaxial optical coherence tomography signal during the laser welding of hidden T-joints
Authors: Mattulat Thorsten
Published: December 2023

In the case of “hidden” T-joints, the nonvisible web sheet is welded through the face sheet. Positioning tolerances and movement due to the distortion of the web sheet represent the main challenges to maintain on track during laser beam welding. This study investigated the assumption that keyhole monitoring based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) could be utilized for seam tracking by detecting critical misalignments between the laser beam and the web sheet position. It hereby analyzed whether an emerging misalignment between the laser beam and the web sheet could be discerned in the OCT data before the laser beam misses the web sheet and penetrated only the face sheet. This prediction represents a key requirement for the industrial use of this approach. To this end, this study investigated the welding of hidden T-joints with angular and parallel offsets of the laser path relative to the web sheet centerline while recording with OCT. The interface zone between the web and face sheets was recorded by a high-speed camera to detect the transmission of laser radiation through a lower keyhole opening. It was shown that a lower keyhole opening, in combination with transmitted radiation, was advantageous for the reliable detection of an emerging misalignment. This lower keyhole opening can occur lateral to the web sheet prior to a misalignment, therefore enabling a prediction of spot misalignments via OCT. The welding parameter dependent maximum distance of the laser spot edge to the web sheet edge at detection was 0.1 mm in this study.

Published: December 2023

Renal cancer, a global health concern, is on the rise. This mini-review explores the risk factors associated with renal cancer, including smoking, obesity, and genetic conditions. Delving into the molecular intricacies, it unveils the key mechanisms involved, such as mutations in tumor suppressor genes and dysregulation of signalling pathways. The discovery of oncometabolites sheds light on their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Surgical resection remains a primary treatment option, but limited options exist for recurrent metastatic disease. However, innovative therapies aimed at oncometabolites offer hope for enhanced outcomes. Understanding the puzzle of renal cancer will empower us to effectively manage this formidable adversary.
