VALIDATION OF A NEW MEASUREMENT DEVICE (PeriKit®) FOR PERIMETRY AND VOLUMETRY OF THE LOWER LIMB: METROLOGICAL AND INTRA-OBSERVER COMPARATIVE STUDY
Authors: Louys M. , Mathieu M. , Harnie S. , Adriaenssens N.
Published: February 2025

Accurate quantitative assessments are crucial to understanding development of diseases and their effective treatments. Various validated perimetry and volumetry measurement methods for patients with lymphedema exist and each has its own advantages and limitations and choosing the right instrument is essential. PeriKit® (PK) is a new measurement device that requires validation. This singleblind, cross-sectional study compared three assessment methods for perimetry and volumetry of the lower limb: conventional tape measure (CTM); optoelectronic infrared volumeter (Perometer® (OS) as the gold standard); and PK. Correlation coefficients between measurements were "strong" to "very strong". The ICC of the lower limb was the highest for PK (0.995), followed by the CTM (0.986) and the OS (0.974). PK had the lowest dispersion of results for all segments. Despite its poor reliability, CTM is widely used because of its low cost and portability. The OS is simple, ergonomic, and doesn’t require calibration, but suffers from imperfections such as the absence of distal extremities (i.e. feet, hands, fingers, etc.) as well as cost. PK has succeeded in reducing many of the problems associated with measurement thanks to its standardized methodology which offers high repeatability. PK can replace OS and CTM, but OS or CTM can’t replace PeriKit® because they are more dispersed and less accurate.

Lymphadenopathy is associated with lymph node abnormal size or consistency due to many causes. We employed the deep convolutional neural network ResNet-34 to detect and classify CT images from patients with abdominal lymphadenopathy and healthy controls. We created a single database containing 1400 source CT images for patients with abdominal lymphadenopathy (n = 700) and healthy controls (n = 700). To train, test, and cross-validate the ResNet-34 classifier to detect specific lesions, we first resized and normalized all images. Then, we randomly divided the 1400 images into 88 groups of 16, and the classifier was trained to identify and label lesions using automatic volume delineation 3D reconstruction of target areas. The ResNet-34 had a diagnostic accuracy with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the true-positive rate versus the false-positive rate with the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9957 and 1.00 for abdominal lymphadenopathy and healthy control CT images, respectively. This accuracy implied identical high sensitivity and specificity values of 99.57 % and 100% for the two groups. The added effect of ResNet-34 is a success rate of 99.57% and 100% for classifying random CT images of the two groups, with an overall accuracy of 99.79% in the testing subset for detecting and classifying lymph node lesions. Based on this high classification precision, we believe the output activation map of the final layer of the ResNet-34 is a powerful tool for the accurate diagnosis of lymph node lesions of abdominal lymphadenopathy from CT images.

Published: February 2025

This study examined the effect of lymphedema self-care patient school education on patient functionality, quality of life, body value, and lymphedema volume in patients with lower extremity lymphedema. The study utilized a single-group quasi-experimental design. The study sample included 21 patients with primary and secondary lower extremity lymphedema. A multidisciplinary team created a face-to-face lymphedema self-care patient education program that lasted three weeks with four hours each week to enhance lymphedema self-care management. Data collected from participants prior to the program and then at third and sixth months via Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), Lymphedema Functionality, Disability and Quality of Life Scale in Lower Extremity Lymphedema (LYMPH-ICF-LL), Body Value Scale, and extremity volumes. The average age of the patients was 54.85±11.99 years and two-thirds had secondary lymphedema. A statistically significant difference was found in the mean scores of LEFS (p<0.001), LYMPH-ICF-LL total (p= 0.006) in the 3rd and 6th months after the completion of the program, and in the lymphedema volume change (p= 0.031) in the 6th month. It was found that the lymphedema self-care patient school improved functionality and quality of life in patients with lower extremity lymphedema and decreased lymphedema volume. This lymphedema self-care patient education program is a safe and effective educational method for self-care management in individuals with lower extremity lymphedema.

Machine learning predicts selected cat diseases using insurance data amid challenges in interpretability
Authors: Hadar Barr N. , Poljak Zvonimir , Bonnett Brenda , Coe Jason , Stone Elizabeth A. , Bernardo Theresa M.
Published: February 2025

Objective

To develop models for prediction of the onset of specific diseases in cats using pet insurance data and to evaluate their predictive performance.

Methods

Agria Pet Insurance data from almost 550,000 cats (2011 to 2016) were analyzed and used to train predictive models for periodontal disease and skin tumors using breed, sex, and insurance claim history. Random downsampling and 1:1 matching by age, insurance duration, and time at risk balanced the dataset. Variables were then further processed, with random forest and conditional logistic regression used for analysis. Model accuracy was assessed through leave-one-out cross-validation, while variable importance plots, partial dependence plots, and coefficients were used for model interpretation.

Results

Model accuracy ranged from 81.9% to 88.2% (P < .01, baseline 50%). Key predictors included prior insurance claims for “digestive,” “whole body symptom,” “skin,” and “injury conditions,” which may be nonspecific and predictive of various diseases. Maine Coon, Siamese, and Burmese cats were associated with periodontal disease–positive predictions, while domestic cats were linked with negative predictions. For skin tumors, Norwegian Forest Cats, Devon Rex and Sphynx cats, and Maine Coon cats were associated with positive predictions, whereas Birman and domestic cats were linked with negative predictions.

Conclusions

This study presents a method of machine learning predictive analysis on pet insurance data, although more comprehensive medical information and approaches accounting for data characteristics may be necessary to develop clearer predictors.

Clinical Relevance

To prevent or detect these conditions early, veterinarians can use the breed risk results to guide clients, especially those with high-risk breeds, by offering early advice on lifestyle and monitoring.
Scratch Technique for Alternative Batik Product Creation
Authors: Widodo Suryo Tri , Wardoyo Sugeng
Published: February 2025

This article is motivated by the fact that so far the use of equipment for written batik has only relied on written canthing equipment which is commonly used by most batik artisans. Thus, it is deemed necessary to develop alternative equipment outside of written canthing. The offer of written batik equipment outside of this written canthing is the use of equipment in the form of a fruit knife which is designed and modified in such a way that it can be used for scratching techniques. The use of this tool is considered appropriate to be applied to batik products, because in addition to having a high selling value or economic value, it can also provide alternative tools other than written canthing, because the level of batik production is also required to be faster. This breakthrough or positive innovation from the use of batik tools for the scratch technique is quite important, considering the need for batik products is also increasing.

Medicine is undergoing a transformation thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), especially in the areas of pharmaceutical delivery and illness diagnostics. AI algorithms can examine genetic data, medical pictures, and patient records with previously unheard-of speed and precision by utilizing massive datasets. For instance, AI systems trained on vast repositories of diagnostic images can detect conditions such as tumors, fractures, and other abnormalities earlier than traditional methods. In addition to improving diagnosis accuracy, these solutions lighten the workload for medical staff, freeing them up to concentrate more on patient care. Additionally, AI-driven platforms can recognize patterns across diverse patient populations, refining the diagnostic process and aiding in the identification of rare diseases that typically present significant challenges in clinical settings. In addition to enhancing diagnostic capabilities, AI is also transforming treatment strategies through personalized medicine. Machine learning models can analyze data on individual patients' genetics, lifestyle, and previous treatment responses to recommend tailored treatment options. In complicated situations like cancer and chronic disorders, In addition, chatbots and By giving patients real-time monitoring and assistance with their treatment regimens, AI-powered virtual health assistants are promoting patient involvement. AI is a vital tool for the future of medicine because, as it develops, its application in clinical settings has the potential to greatly enhance patient outcomes and speed up the delivery of treatment. This tailored strategy may optimize treatment effectiveness while reducing adverse effects.

Direction Control of Rotating Detonation Waves with Helical Combustion Chambers
Authors: Sawada Satoru , Itouyama Noboru , Matsuoka Ken , Kasahara Jiro , Braun James , Paniagua Guillermo , Kawasaki Akira , Higashino Kazuyuki , Matsuo Akiko , Funaki Ikkoh
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the innovative direction control of rotating detonation waves in rotating detonation engines (RDEs) by adjusting the ignition location and employing helical combustors with a sinusoidal cross section. In our experimental setup, we conducted 25 combustion tests using two distinct combustor geometries, each featuring different helical profile directions. The following conclusion drawn from the results: when the ignition was positioned 30.6–46.0 mm from the inlet, the detonation wave direction was invariably influenced by the helical direction. This correlation was statistically significant, with an occurrence probability (assuming a random direction probability of 0.5) being [Formula: see text], far exceeding the 0.05 significance level. Furthermore, the helical combustors generated a measurable torque due to the pressure differentials created by shock waves within the combustor. This torque, recorded between [Formula: see text] at a mass flow rate of 28.5–29.0 g/s, indicates the potential of power extraction from the combustor. Notably, the torque direction was also controllable via the helical direction. This study presents a significant advancement in propulsion technology, demonstrating a novel method to control detonation wave direction and torque generation in RDEs through helical combustor design, paving the way for more efficient and controllable propulsion systems.
Controlling Hamiltonian Integral Invariants of Spacecraft Phase Space Distributions
Authors: Boodram Oliver H. , Scheeres Daniel J.
Published: February 2025

Phase space distributions outline regions of plausible spacecraft states in phase space given some degree of uncertainty. Under Hamiltonian dynamical flow, geometric features of these distributions become time-invariant and are referred to as Hamiltonian integral invariants. The shape and size of the distributions are correlated to our state uncertainty, so these geometric invariants provide unique, analytical insight into problems of uncertainty propagation. When a Hamiltonian system is perturbed by dissipative forces, the geometric features associated with integral invariants are no longer constant. Rather, they change in time, and the insight into problems of uncertainty propagation also changes. This paper explores how the geometric features of phase space distributions can be targeted with orbital and attitude guidance laws. For example, volume-collapsing guidance laws are designed to restrict both the translational and rotational spacecraft state. Alternative representations for regions of uncertainty are also considered via Monte Carlo and covariance matrix analysis. With these alternative representations, the targeted geometric behavior is validated.

A Critique of the Current Epidemic in our Criminal Justice System: “Guilty Until Proven Innocent”
Authors: Marsh Jaclyn
Published: February 2025

It has been a long-held notion of American jurisprudence that a citizen of
this country shall not be deprived of their fundamental rights until required
so by law. It is an offshoot of this notion that an American should not be
deprived of these fundamental rights through being confined to jail or prison
until twelve of their own fellow peers have laid down a finding of guilty.
However, this phenomenon is exactly what is happening today, and the issue
has been steadily increasing in occurrence since the passing of a federal
statute in 1984.
Because of judicial interpretation and government guidance on the
Federal Bail Reform Act of 1984, defendants who are facing federal criminal
charges are being sentenced to pretrial detainment prior to judgment in
front of that exact pool of their twelve peers. Defendants who meet certain
loosely specified “criteria” are being judged by a jury of one, a single federal
judge, and are being forced to learn the implications of being a convicted
criminal in the United States prison system before they otherwise would.
While the federal statute attempts to gloss what is happing by labeling the
locations “correction facilities,” it does not change the crux of the problem—
defendants who are not a danger to society nor to bailing on their trial
hearings (determined by whether they can be considered a “flight risk”) are
being deprived of their fundamental rights prior to a finding of guilty.
Failing to appear for a hearing in the context explained above is the subject
of this Comment. Whether a defendant should be classified as a “flight risk”
or not under 18 U.S.C.§ 3142(f)(2)(A) is determined based on evidence that
is not subject to the normal rules of evidence seen in criminal trials, hinges
upon to the sole discretion of the presiding judge, and is determined through
a set of ambiguous circumstances that are up for interpretation.
This Comment seeks to explain the background and history that
necessitated passing of such a federal law. This Comment will critique the way
a large portion of the judicial system is interpreting this statute, specifically
one portion of the statute, and manipulating its provisions as a way to
sentence defendants to pretrial detainment where not warranted. Finally, this
Comment will provide a potential solution, as well as an alternative format
to the specific portion of the statute that is heavily subjected to abuse and a
stretching of its intended scope.
Social Media and Social Reform: Why States Should Consider Protecting the Rising Kidfluencers
Authors: Wong Rina
Published: February 2025

The rise of social media in the twenty-first century has led to multi-million-
dollar careers for influencers, adults, and children alike. Similarly, the
rise of child influencers, often colloquially coined as “kidfluencers,” have
raised legal issues because kidfluencers are currently unprotected by child
labor laws. The Coogan Law, enacted in 1939 to protect child performers
in California and similar laws across the United States do not currently
apply to kidfluencers. This places kidfluencers at a severe risk of having
their financial earnings squandered by their parents or guardians managing
their funds.
Fortunately for kidfluencers, legislators both domestically and
internationally have started to recognize their vulnerability. In 2023, Illinois
passed Public Act 103-0556 (Illinois Act), the first law to protect kidfluencers
legally and financially. The Illinois Act took effect on July 1, 2024, and
amended the state’s current Child Labor Law statute. Minnesota has become
the second state to amend its state law to protect kidfluencers, effective July 1,
2025. Parents or guardians of eligible kidfluencers in the state of Illinois and
Minnesota must set aside the minor’s earnings in a trust account that will
become available to the minor once he or she turns eighteen. Additionally,
in Minnesota, kidfluencers are afforded the “right to be forgotten,” which
entitles the kidfluencer to request deletion of any content that features the
kidfluencer when he or she was a minor.
Other states such as Arizona, California, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Washington are making progress to
pass kidfluencer-specific legislation in their respective states. Internationally,
in 2021, France became the first country to protect the interests of kidfluencers
when its Parliament amended the French Labor Code to include kidfluencers,
among other significant changes.
“TRUTH IS IMMORTAL”
Authors: Brasil de Souza Guilherme
Published: February 2025

The following article argues that Anabaptist reformer Balthasar Hubmaier’s view of the Bible as an immortal truth – freely accessible to all who in response to God’s grace accepted freely its saving message – entailed an ecclesiology that stressed less the power of the church in controlling Christ’s presence and more the role of the individual’s relationship with God and with the body of believers. In attempting to make this argument I trace the development of Hubmaier’s thought from his early scholastic education, followed by his embrace of the faith of the reformers and finally to a Christocentric and Bible centric Anabaptist theological understanding of the church. The ultimate implications of this would be the expansion of the notion of Christian freedom and the reduction of the powers of the church.

A hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) é um dos principais fatores de riscos de mortalidade cardiovascular. A adesão ao tratamento é um desafio para a saúde pública. Logo, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar se a religiosidade é um fator positivo na não descontinuação do tratamento farmacológico em pacientes com HAS. Foram avaliados cem indivíduos de ambos os sexos, hipertensos e com idade superior a 40 anos, divididos em dois grupos: Grupo I (composto dos que aderiram ao tratamento farmacológico para o controle da pressão arterial); e Grupo II (formado por aqueles que descontinuaram o tratamento medicamentoso). Aplicaram-se o questionário de perfil individual (NAHAS) e o questionário Morisky-Green, e para avaliar a religiosidade foi proposta uma questão-âncora: “Você se declara uma pessoa religiosa?”. As opções foram “sim, muito religiosa”, “sim, mediamente religiosa” e “não sou religiosa”, assim, os participantes foram distribuídos dentro dos grupos conforme essas opções de religiosidade. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante tanto para adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso (p = 0,78) quanto para a não adesão (p = 0,67). Entretanto, entre os pacientes que declararam ser religiosos, a proporção de descontinuação do tratamento foi menor em 21%. Portanto, a religiosidade não se mostrou um fator positivo para impedir o abandono do tratamento medicamentoso, no entanto entre aqueles que informaram ser religiosos, a proporção de abandono do tratamento foi menor.
ANÁLISE LEXICOGRÁFICA DO TERMO λοιπός (LOIPÓS) E SUA CONTRIBUIÇÃO PARA O TEMA DO REMANESCENTE
Authors: Marinho de Arruda Junior Vamberto
Published: February 2025

Este artigo explora o conceito do remanescente no Novo Testamento (NT) a partir de uma análise lexicográfica do termo grego λοιπός (loipós), frequentemente traduzido por "remanescente". O objetivo é investigar o significado dessa palavra nos versos em que aparece, correlacionando tais aparições nas diferentes seções do NT e buscando compreender sua carga teológica. O estudo revela que o termo é um adjetivo presente no texto grego neotestamentário, com as três funções do adjetivo (adjetival, substantivada e adverbial) em todas as seções, exceto na apocalíptica, em que a função adverbial não é encontrada. A maior carga teológica é observada no uso substantival, que se refere a: (1) uma discriminação explícita entre dois grupos distintos, um infiel e nas trevas, em contraste com os discípulos no Evangelho e os leitores de Paulo; e (2) uma discriminação não explícita, na qual o Apocalipse contrasta dois grupos de remanescentes – um fiel e outro infiel –, cada um com suas características distintivas.

O preparo da Igreja no sentido de cumprir seu papel missional requer uma ação formativa que vise a uma capacitação dos membros para o engajamento na comunidade. Isso significa que é necessário realizar um treinamento que ofereça oportunidade às pessoas para que reflitam teologicamente sobre os fundamentos para seu envolvimento em ações que tenham como objetivo principal produzir uma transformação holística naqueles que serão alvo do testemunho da Igreja.  Com esse propósito, foi preparado um manual de capacitação para o Projeto “Dignity. Neste sentido, o presente estudo teve como objetivo relatar o desenvolvimento de manual de capacitação destinado a servir como material de apoio para a capacitação de membros de uma igreja sediada em campus universitário na realização do Projeto Dignity, que por sua vez, teve como principal intenção ajudar no resgate da dignidade das famílias carentes, por meio da construção ou reforma de unidades sanitárias domiciliares. Após apreciação do comitê de ética em pesquisa, aprovado pelo parecer no 4.991.650 (CAAE 51193821.0.0000.0042). A validação de conteúdo do referido manual de apoio foi mediada por profissionais com expertise na área temática do manual de apoio, atuando como juízes, a quem foi solicitado responder à pergunta aberta “Quais informações devem ser descritas em um material de ensino sobre o papel missional assistencial da Igreja?”. Emitindo sugestões acerca da temática a serem consideradas na construção/adequação do material e preenchendo checklist sobre o material educativo produzido. Foram convidados 45 experts, dos quais 21 aceitaram participar do estudo. Após tabuladas, as respostas dos especialistas foram analisadas no Microsoft Excel®, e verificada a concordância por estatística descritiva. Destaca-se que, de modo geral, todos os itens se mostraram adequados para a maior proporção dos juízes.
MISSÃO ENTRE OS NONES: O DESAFIO DA MISSÃO PÓS-MODERNA
Authors: Rodrigues Chaves Jolivê
Published: February 2025

O crescimento daqueles que se declaram Nones, ou pessoas sem filiação religiosa, tem sido continuamente superior ao da população em geral em várias culturas.  Embora uma minoria no grupo se diga ateia ou agnóstica, a grande massa afirma acreditar em Deus, mas rejeita as instituições religiosas. Assim, como cristãos e discípulos de Jesus, precisamos notar a onda cultural da mudança contemporânea como uma das oportunidades mais significativas para alcançar os Nones para Cristo. Recomenda-se uma ação intencional e planejada da igreja para promover a missão com o grupo. Tal projeto pode envolver educação teológica, agências missionárias e treinamento em abordagens práticas, entre outros elementos.
