Opiekun, profesor, mistrz. Kursy graficzne i rysunkowe Ignacego Łopieńskiego
Authors: Czyż Piotr P.
Published: December 2024

Ignacy Łopieński (1865–1941) był jednym z artystów, którym polska grafika autorska zawdzięcza swe odrodzenie na początku XX w. Podczas studiów w Monachium znakomicie opanował warsztat graficzny, który wykorzystywał zarówno w grafice reprodukcyjnej, jak i oryginalnej. Po powrocie do kraju zajął się popularyzacją sztuki graficznej, czemu miało służyć m.in. powstałe z jego inicjatywy w Warszawie Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Sztuk Graficznych (1912–1918), a także działalnością pedagogiczną i popularyzatorską. Jednym z efektów jego pracy było zainteresowanie malarzy polskich technikami graficznymi, głównie akwafortą. Z jego pomocy i wskazówek skorzystali tacy wybitni artyści, jak Leon Wyczółkowski czy Zofia Stankiewiczówna.
Łopieński wielokrotnie podkreślał znaczenie edukacji plastycznej, szczególnie nauki rysunku. Objawiało się to w jego działalności pedagogicznej zarówno osób dojrzałych, jak i młodzieży. Był opiekunem sal rysunkowych Muzeum Rzemiosł i Sztuki Stosowanej w Warszawie, nauczycielem rysunku w warszawskich gimnazjach żeńskich, prowadził zajęcia z technik graficznych w Towarzystwie Przyjaciół Sztuk Graficznych, Szkole Sztuk Pięknych im. Wojciecha Gersona zorganizowanej przez Warszawskie Towarzystwo Artystyczne, Szkole Sztuk Pięknych Blanki Mercère oraz organizował kursy we własnej pracowni przy ul. Lwowskiej i w enigmatycznej Szkole Malarstwa i Sztuki Rysowniczej prof. I. Łopieńskiego mieszczącej się w gmachu Zachęty.
Obrazowanie niepełnosprawności i cech nietypowych – uwagi wstępne
Authors: Pokora Jakub
Published: December 2024

Artykuł omawia liczną grupę portretów przedstawiających osoby z rozmaitymi niepełnosprawnościami lub wielorakimi cechami wyjątkowymi. Analizowane dzieła sztuki pochodzą z szerokiego okresu: od renesansu po czasy najnowsze. Są to dzieła zarówno polskie, jak i artystów z innych krajów Europy: Włoch, Wielkiej Brytanii, Francji czy Niemiec. Autor wziął pod uwagę obiekty wykonane w różnych technikach. Najwięcej jest wizerunków malarskich, choć omówione zostały także liczne sztychy, rzeźby (głównie nagrobki) i fotografie. Bogaty zbiór portretów ukazano w kontekście przekazów literackich z epoki, dzięki czemu na wiele z nich możemy spojrzeć „oczyma współczesnych”. Autor zauważył, że dawniej wszelkiego rodzaju niepełnosprawność i cechy nietypowe traktowano dwojako. Z jednej strony uznawano je za właściwości naturalne ludzkiego ciała, akceptując status quo. Z drugiej strony, szczególnie w kręgach osób zamożnych obecne było dążenie do ukrywania tego typu cech głównie za pomocą odpowiedniego ubioru. Rozważania autora dotyczą zatem próby odnalezienia odpowiedzi na pytanie czy oba wymienione podejścia do wyglądu miały swoje odzwierciedlenie w sztuce. Pytanie to o tyle zasadne, że jak wiadomo sztuka od zawsze miała możliwość ukazywania modela zgodnie z jego – lub artysty – wymaganiami, na życzenie postać idealizując, oszpecając lub przedstawiając całkiem rzeczowo. Artykuł Jakuba Pokory wprowadza czytelnika w to niezmiernie interesujące zagadnienie stanowiąc jednocześnie ważny, nie podejmowany do tej pory w literaturze, historyczno-artystyczny przyczynek do kompleksowych badań zjawiska.

Development and evaluation of predictive models using machine learning to identify fetal growth restriction in pre-eclampsia patients (Preprint)
Authors: Li Li , Hua Qing , Hua Qing , Yang Fengchun , Zhou Yadan , Shi Fenglian , You Xiaoyan , Guo Jing
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Fetal growth restriction is a common complication of preeclampsia. Fetal growth restriction (FGR) in patients with preeclampsia (PE) increases the risk of neonatal perinatal mortality and morbidity.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to develop a machine learning (ML) based on auxiliary diagnostic model to identify and predict the occurrence of FGR in PE patients.

METHODS

This study utilized a retrospective case-control approach to analyze the basic medical history and peripheral blood laboratory test results of pregnant patients with preeclampsia (PE), either complicated or not by fetal growth restriction (FGR). Machine learning model was constructed to evaluate the predictive value of maternal parameter changes on the PE combined with FGR. The SHapley Additive exPlanation method was used to rank the feature importance and explain the final model.

RESULTS

The random forest (RF) model performed best in discriminative ability among the 7 ML models. After reducing features according to feature importance rank, an explainable final RF model was established with 10 features. The final model could accurately predict FGR in both internal (AUC = 0.830) and external (AUC = 0.820) validations, and has been translated into a convenient tool to facilitate its utility in clinical settings.

CONCLUSIONS

Our explainable ML model successfully developed a model that accurately predicts FGR development in preeclampsia women. The use of interpretable methods captures highly relevant risk factors for model interpretation, alleviating concerns about the “black box” problem of indirect interpretation of ML techniques.
Analyzing the Interest in Digital Wellbeing Services: Are People More Willing to Pay for Them on Social Network Sites or Messaging Platforms? (Preprint)
Authors: Alshakhsi Sameha , Babiker Areej , Al-Thani Dena , Sindermann Cornelia , Montag Christian , Ali Raian
Published: December 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

The prevalence of social network sites (SNS) and messaging platforms (MSG) has transformed the way people communicate, interact, and share knowledge, leading to economic and social transformations. However, concerns about digital wellbeing have arisen due to issues such as disclosure of personal information, excessive usage, fake news, extremism, and mental health challenges. This study investigates interest in DWB services on SNS and MSG and explores differences in willingness to pay (WTP) for these services across different demographics. The analysis includes demographics of age, gender, financial wellness, and education. Data were collected from 262 participants through an online questionnaire focusing on ten DWB services. Overall, WTP was higher on SNS than MSG, with variations observed at the service level. Participants were more willing to pay on MSG for data protection and marketing purposes, while on SNS, they preferred services addressing fake news, radicalization, and excessive use. These preferences remained consistent across demographics, offering insights into societal preferences and values, and the potential for social media platforms to monetize DWB features, reducing reliance on advertising revenue. The results provide market players and policymakers with valuable guidance in developing user-centric strategies that enhance digital wellbeing and, in turn, improve quality of life.
Child and Adolescent Virtual Mental Health Care and Duration of Treatment: A Retrospective Cohort Study (Preprint)
Authors: Cruickshank Allyson , Andreou Pantelis , Emberly Debbie , Meier Sandra , Campbell Leslie Anne
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Due to public health restrictions, the COVID-19 pandemic required significant changes in the delivery of mental health services. The use of virtual care for balancing access with treatment needs requires a shared decision between clients, caregivers, and clinicians. One aspect for consideration is the length of treatment and whether it differs by treatment modality. Therefore, it is essential to quantify and compare episodes of care conducted virtually and in-person, while accounting for individual and system level factors that may influence length of episodes.

OBJECTIVE

To operationalise a means of measuring episodes of care using administrative data to improve our understanding of how treatment modality impacts treatment duration for children and adolescents accessing Community Mental Health & Addictions services at IWK Health.

METHODS

Episodes of care were created using administrative data collected by the IWK Mental Health and Addictions program. A multilevel mixed-effects negative binomial model and time-to-event analysis were used to model the association between treatment modality and treatment duration, both in visits and days, adjusting for client and system characteristics. A zero-inflated negative binomial model was used to analyze the association between treatment modality and the ratio of days to visits within an episode of care.

RESULTS

Virtual episodes of care had more visits compared to in-person episodes between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021, whereas between April 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023 virtual episodes of care were associated with fewer visits. These patterns were consistent after adjusting for client and system characteristics. Additionally, there was no significant difference in the ratio of days to visits between the virtual and in-person treatment modalities throughout each time period, indicating intersession wait times were not driving any differences in the treatment lengths in days between the modalities.

CONCLUSIONS

To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the association between treatment modality and treatment duration. While initially longer than in-person episodes of care, over time the average length of episodes conducted mainly virtually has attenuated, perhaps due to growing comfort with the technology or client factors not adequately captured in administrative data. This information can be valuable to clinicians, clients, and their families regarding expected treatment timelines and aid in informing service planning.

Authors: Promise Vivian Ibienebakabobo , Macauley Tinimoye , Alabere Ibidabo , Abdulraheem Ibraheem , Raimi Morufu Olalekan
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Rationale: Vaccination is a critical public health intervention for reducing childhood morbidity and mortality, yet vaccination coverage remains suboptimal in regions like Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Understanding the factors influencing vaccination uptake is essential to addressing the barriers to complete immunization and achieving universal health goals.

OBJECTIVE

Objective: This study assessed the vaccination coverage among children under two years in Bayelsa State, identifying key barriers and proposing targeted interventions to improve immunization rates.

METHODS

Method(s): A Randomized Control Trial (RCT) design was employed, with 1,220 participants recruited using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs). Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS, while thematic analysis was applied to qualitative data.

RESULTS

Results: The study revealed a vaccination compliance rate of 88.9%, with 65.0% achieving full vaccination. Barriers to vaccination included logistical challenges such as forgetfulness (8.3%), distance to healthcare facilities (4.4%), and fear of needles (2.8%). Significant demographic factors included maternal education and occupation, influencing vaccination completion.

CONCLUSIONS

Conclusions: While awareness and compliance are relatively high, gaps in complete immunization persist due to structural and logistical barriers. Addressing these barriers is crucial to improving vaccination coverage and reducing vaccine-preventable diseases. Implement mobile vaccination units and automated reminders, enhance health worker training for patient-friendly services and conduct targeted health education campaigns. This study underscores the importance of tailored interventions in increasing vaccination coverage. Enhancing access and addressing barriers can significantly improve child health outcomes in underserved regions.

According to the National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) in 2020, the average consumption of packaged seasoning from 2016 to 2020 grew the highest compared to other types of food at 9.13%. One of the most popular packaged seasonings is rendang powder, often accompanied by problems such as easily torn primary packaging, poor packaging, and incomplete packaging label information. To overcome these problems, developing a packaging design and determining the shelf-life is necessary. This research aims to create a concept for packaging powdered rendang seasoning that offers the highest value and to determine the product's shelf-life using the chosen packaging. The packaging design for powdered rendang seasoning was developed using value analysis and shelf-life was determined using the Arrhenius model through Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing (ASLT). Based on the research, out of five packaging concepts tested, it was found that packaging concept 2 has the highest value of 1.31 with packaging specifications using a packaging material of aluminum foil combined with plastic. A stand-up bag with a rectangular clear section, the package has a notch, zipper, and full labeling. Packaging concept 2 is the chosen packaging concept that meets the research objectives. It addresses the issue of easily torn packaging and includes improvements in packaging quality and more comprehensive packaging labeling. Based on the shelf-life determination of 3 packaging that has the highest values and 1 control package, packaging concept 2 has the longest shelf-life of 131 days, and based on the results of the proximate test conducted, packaging concept 2 is packaging with a sample that does not differ significantly (p value>0.05) with the control sample for all parameters quality.

Tamblingan Lake is the smallest lake in Bali and is inhabited by various species of fish, which are from the Cyprinidae family, namely bonylip barb and spotted barb. Information regarding the food and feeding habits of bonylip barb and spotted barb fish in Tamblingan Lake is unavailable. This study aims to determine and analyze the food and feeding habits of bonylip barb and spotted barb fish in Tamblingan Lake. Fish sampling was conducted from January to June 2019 in Tamblingan Lake using modified gill nets with a net size of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 cm. Fishing was carried out at five stations with water characteristics representing the condition of Tamblingan Lake. Bonylip barb fish obtained during the study comprised 216 individuals, while the Spotted barb had 180 individuals. The average value of the relative intestinal length of bonylip barb fish ranged from 4.34 to 5.53, while that of the spotted barb fish was 0.89 to 1.30. The average value of the gastric fullness index of film fish ranges from 1.34 to 4.77, while the spotted barb is 0.32 to 0.42. The total IRI value of bonylip barb fish food in Tamblingan Lake is 924.32, while the spotted barb is 1,232.62, with the highest IRI value in both species coming from plankton. Bonylip barb and spotted barb in Tamblingan Lake developed a generalist feeding strategy with plankton food groups (planktivorous).

Authors: Retnowati Faizah Diah , Purwestri Yekti Asih , Sine Yuni
Published: January 2025

The separation phase of soy-product manufacturing, especially of soymilk production, involves using the liquid portion of soy while disposing primarily of the solid portion, known as soymilk by-product (SMB). The improper disposal of SMB can contribute to environmental concerns. As SMB contains many beneficial nutrients, this could serve as a valuable culture medium for lactic acid bacteria (LAB), especially considering the expense of the standard de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe (MRS) medium. This study aimed to isolate and identify LAB from soymilk through 16S rRNA sequencing, assess the potential of SMB as a culture medium for LAB, and ferment soymilk with LAB cultured from SMB to demonstrate the probiotic capacity. The research identified a potential LAB as Weissella confusa. Effective cultivation of LAB was demonstrated at 2% SMB concentration, although LAB cultured with MRS medium yielded a higher colony count. Furthermore, fermentation of soymilk by the LAB isolates from SMB exhibited a positive probiotic ability, reaching 5.5 × 109 CFU/mL, with a lactic acid content of 0.27%.

Published: January 2025

Prior to initiating the conservation effort, conducting a bamboo species inventory in a specific area is crucial for obtaining information about the diversity status of the species in that region. Species inventorying is a fundamental step in ensuring that conservation efforts are targeted, effective, and based on sound scientific data. Regrettably, status of bamboo diversity in Sumatra is unavailable. Therefore, a study was conducted to determine the status of bamboo diversity in Sumatra. The study gathered data from literature review. It covered bamboo species, their statuses (endemic, introduced, ex-situ conservation, and threatened), and encompassed the main Sumatra Island and surrounding smaller islands. Species were re-identified and validated. Conservation status was assessed based on IUCN categories. There are 73 species of bamboo in the Sumatra region, representing 10 genera: Bambusa (11 species), Chimonobambusa (1 species), Dendrocalamus (10 species), Dinochloa (2 species), Gigantochloa (26 species), Melocanna (1 species), Neololeba (1 species), Phyllostachys (1 species), Schizostachyum (19 species), and Thyrsostachys (1 species). Eighteen species of Sumatran bamboo are known as introduced species, and 30 species are endemic to Sumatra, with the majority belonging to Gigantochloa (15 species). The least represented are Bambusa and Dinochloa, each having one endemic species. Bambusa heterostachya, Dendrocalamus giganteus, and Dendrocalamus membranaceus fall into the “least concern” (LC) category on the IUCN Red List, while the remaining 70 species have not been evaluated. A total of 44 species have been planted (conserved) in botanical gardens in Indonesia, while the remaining 29 species have not yet been conserved.

Federated AI for Cyber Defence: Enhancing Access Control Through Distributed Learning
Authors: Lakshmikanthan Govindarajan , Nair Sreejith Sreekandan
Published: December 2024

Abstract: System security and the protection of sensitive data has become a need of the hour as fast as the development of cyber
threats. A federated Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a distributed learning framework that handles these issues through the
provision of secure collaboration that preserves data privacy. This paper explores how Federated AI can enhance access control
systems by making them suitable for detecting anomalies, enforcing policies, and adapting to changing threats in real-time.
Centralized AI models of the traditional sort necessitate data aggregation at a single location, an avenue open to any breach and
compliance concerns. By training models over the federation of decentralized nodes, Federated AI mitigates these risks by
allowing data locality. This paper presents a decentralized learning paradigm which implements robust access control
mechanisms using collective intelligence and simultaneously keeps sensitive information safe. Additionally, the combination of
Federated AI with Zero Trust principles leads to a dynamic access control system that changes with user behavior and the
settings external to the user. We discuss key advancements such as the utilization of edge devices for real-time anomaly
detection, privacy-based techniques such as differential privacy and homomorphic encryption, and the inclusion of generative
models that simulate and predict attack scenarios. Finally, the paper underscores the advantages and limits of the potential of
Federated AI in cyber defence.

Abstract: One of the most promising laser-active materials that is more suited for diode-pumping than the conventional Nddoped systems is the ytterbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Yb:YAG) laser. Compared to the widely used Nd:YAG crystal,
Yb:YAG crystals offer a larger absorption bandwidth, which reduces the need for thermal management in diode lasers and
allows for a longer upper-laser level lifespan and lower thermal loading.[22]
Computational Insights into the Functional Impact of Missense Mutations in RFX1
Authors: Hallikeri Nidhi S , Hallikeri Kaveri
Published: December 2024

Abstract: Genetic variations, particularly non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs), can profoundly influence protein function by
altering stability, molecular interactions, and regulatory pathways, thereby contributing to disease mechanisms, including
cancer. Despite advancements in high-throughput sequencing, the effects of nsSNPs on structure and function, especially in
transcriptional regulators like RFX1, remain poorly understood. Addressing these challenges is crucial for uncovering potential
biomarkers and therapeutic targets in cancer biology. This study focused on assessing the impact of deleterious nsSNPs in RFX1
on the stability, function, and structure of proteins, with a particular emphasis on its interaction with HDAC1. Using data from
the COSMIC database and computational tools such as I-Mutant, MutPred, and Arpeggio, we identified 19 missense mutations
predicted to be deleterious, significantly impacting RFX1 function. The most detrimental variants included R495L, V786G,
R494C, A715P, Y460C, L812R, R311H, and R311C. Further analysis using STRING highlighted RFX1's involvement in gene
transcription and chromatin remodeling pathways, mediated through interactions with key regulatory proteins such as CREB1,
CIITA, and HDAC1. RFX1 expression analysis revealed its potential as a prognostic biomarker, with statistically significant
hazard ratios (HR < 1) observed in breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers, suggesting its role as a protective factor in these
malignancies. Prognostic evaluations further underscored RFX1's potential as a key biomarker in cancer. Future research will
focus on experimental validation of these deleterious mutations and expression-based findings to further elucidate their
diagnostic and therapeutic relevance.

Published: January 2025

Single-span mobile ropeways on the basis of two airmobile rope units connected by a single carrying-traction rope system currently represent the newest type of aerial ropeways designed for pre-property use in difficult natural conditions in the absence of the necessary ground transport infrastructure. The article considers the problem of developing a complex mathematical model of a single-span mobile pendulum-type ropeway based on airmobile rope units, which can be considered as a basis for further research on the creation of an integral scientifically based theory of this type of transporting equipment. The methodological principles of creating the specified mathematical model are formu-lated, its structure is proposed and a brief description of the internal subsystems of the model is given.
Riza Fakhreddin on Abystai as Mentors and Mothers
Authors: Khabutdinov A. Yu.
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the role of abystais as mentors (teachers) and mothers. Based on the materials of Riza Fakhreddin’s book “Mashhur Khatynnar” (“The Famous Women”), we analyze the concept of abystais created by him as mentors (subjects taught, educational literature, correspondence of books, preaching and holding majlises) and mothers (hereditary nature of activity, upbringing of daughters as abystais and sons as imams). Riza-qadi identified the names of the abystais, gave an idea of their teachers as well abystais’ teaching and preaching activities, which was innovative for the Muslim world of Russia. Before him, we only know the names of women as wives and daughters of imams and mudarrises without indicating their education and activities. If in the book edition “Mashhur Khatynnar” (1904) we see their brief biographies revealing the above-mentioned points, then in the manuscript of 1934 there are also quite detailed biographies containing information about various aspects of the social activities of these women and indicating their place in the education system of Tatars in the 19th century and the first years of the 20th century.
Muslim Holidays in the Daily Life of Kabardino-Balkarian Society in the Soviet Period
Authors: Takova A. N.
Published: January 2025

The article examines the role and place of Muslim holidays in the daily life of the population of Kabardino-Balkaria during the Soviet period. This explains the increased attention of the authorities to festive culture in general. It is concluded that in the Soviet period, the holiday, as a phnomenon of spiritual culture, became a kind of tool for constructing and maintaining value- semantic constructs relevant to the current historical moment in society. The reasons for the liberal attitude of local authorities towards religious holidays in the pre-war Soviet decades, that is, during the period of the most severe and consistent persecution of religion, are analyzed. The use of a religious component in the political activities of the Nazi occupation authorities, including in relation to religious holidays, is also being considered. Based on the analysis of archival materials, the features of the main Muslim religious holidays in Kabardino-Balkaria in the 40–80s of the XX century are investigated. It is concluded that, despite the permanent atheistic work, often timed specifically to the main religious holidays, they continued to occupy an important and lasting place in the daily life of the population of the subregion, despite the catastrophic drop in the level of religious literacy and the indifferent attitude of a significant part of the population to religion as a whole that has become commonplace.
The First Russian Scholar in Islamic Studies Dmitry Cantemir — the Forerunner of the Christian-Muslim Dialogue in Eastern Europe in the First Half of the 18th Century
Authors: Mukhetdinov D.  V.
Published: January 2025

This article is focused on the Russian-Moldavian scientist and politician D. Cantemir (d. 1723). Being one of the most educated people of his time and polymath, D. Cantemir made a significant contribution to the formation of academic Oriental studies in Europe. His fundamental work on the history of the Ottoman Empire "On Growth and Decay" became well known in Europe. However, another work by D. Cantemir, which marked a breakthrough in the understanding of Islam by the Western mind — “The Book of Sistima, or Description of the Muslim Religion” — remained almost unknown outside Russia for a long time. The works of D. Cantemir are characterized by two important qualities. First, the active usage of many authentic Muslim sources. Secondly, a humanistic view on Islam and Muslims implies a quest for common ground for Muslims and Christians. These features, combined with D. Cantemir’s vivid and rich experience of interaction with Muslim civilization, made the works of the Russian scholar a path-breaking contribution to the development of Oriental studies in Europe. The publication of this article is dedicated to the publishing of a commented translation of the “Book of Sistima” into modern Russian, prepared by the researchers the Moscow Islamic Institute and the Medina Publishing House, and is intended to establish a basis for a deeper study of D. Cantemir’s heritage in the field of Islamic studies.

The study aims to find out how biophilia can condition the design of architectural spaces for older people. The research is descriptive, qualitative, and non-experimental, using a documentary review of the theoretical and architectural background to specify the subject of study, the behavior of the variable, and to identify architectural criteria. Five cases of empirical reality were analyzed to validate the criteria and obtain design guidelines. Similarly, one of the results obtained in the five cases became the guideline to generate terraces and natural, walkable outdoor spaces that create integration with open areas and connect with the natural environment, a guideline applied in 100% of the cases studied. It is concluded that biophilia conditions the design of spaces for older people by generating a fluid indoor/outdoor relationship through open and semi-open spaces, which includes nature and promotes social interaction among older people.
