Published: April 2024

In order to understand the application of iot Big data information
acquisition for heating control systems, a research on iot Big data
information acquisition for thermal storage heating control systems is
proposed. This paper first analyzes the shortcomings of the traditional
heating system, the heating data is scattered and difficult to collect. The
IoT technology is applied to the heating platform through data acquisition,
data visualization, data mining, data management and other aspects.
Secondly, the application of the IoT in heating system data acquisition is
studied, including the types of heating data collected, data acquisition
process, data acquisition standards, etc. Finally, this paper takes the
energy-saving transformation of 26 boilers in a heating enterprise as an
example. The research results show that the boiler efficiency obtained in
real time by using the online monitoring system of this project is 95.36%,
and the reverse balance boiler efficiency in the paper report of the
special inspection office is 94.88%, with a deviation of 1.48%. The
application of the IoT technology can obtain the boiler indicators in real
time and effectively, and can realize the comprehensive analysis of the

The IoT technology is an effective means of fine energy-saving management in
heating enterprises.
Exploring Patient Pain Experiences during and after Conventional Red Light and Simulated Daylight Photodynamic Therapy for Actinic Keratosis: A Qualitative Interview Study
Authors: Sjöholm Alexandra , Claeson Magdalena , Paoli John , Heckemann Birgit
Published: April 2024

Simulated daylight photodynamic therapy is a relatively new and potentially less painful alternative to conventional red light photodynamic therapy for actinic keratosis. Qualitative research exploring patient experiences of pain and skin reactions during these treatments is scarce. To address this, semi-structured interviews were conducted of 10 patients aged 60–81 years with symmetrically distributed actinic keratoses 4 weeks after split-face treatment with conventional red light photodynamic therapy and simulated daylight photodynamic therapy. The participants were recruited from an ongoing clinical randomized trial. Interviews (median length 35 min) were conducted between June 2022 and January 2023, audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed qualitatively using content analysis, as described by Graneheim and Lundman. Participants reported that conventional red light photodynamic therapy was very painful during illumination and transiently painful in the post-treatment period, while simulated daylight photodynamic therapy was almost painless during illumination and led to minor post-treatment pain. Also, skin reactions were more intense and longer-lasting with conventional red light photodynamic therapy than with simulated daylight photodynamic therapy. Most participants expressed a treatment preference for simulated daylight photodynamic therapy but had reservations about its unestablished long-term effectiveness. This study underscores the considerable pain associated with conventional red light photodynamic therapy, and the pivotal importance of shared decision-making when selecting the most appropriate treatment.

Authors: Acar Gülin , Aktaş Alper
Published: April 2024

Objective: Knowledge about oral hygiene, gingival bleeding, mineral density, and resorption of jaw bones in patients with hemophilia is limited. We evaluated the periodontal and bone status in such patients. 
Material and methods: Forty-eight patients with severe type A/B hemophilia and 49 age- and sex-matched controls were included. Assessments included simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S), calculus index, debris index, gingival index (GI), gingival bleeding time index (GBTI), and decayed, missing, and filled teeth index (DMFTI). Bone resorption was evaluated using panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mental index (MI), and alveolar crest ratio (ACR). Mineral density in the condyle, angulus, and premolar areas was assessed using fractal analysis, with fractal dimensions denoted as condyle fractal dimension (CFD) for the condyle, angulus fractal dimension (AFD) for angulus, and premolar fractal dimension (PFD) for premolar region.
Results: The mean scores were DMFTI = 11.77, OHI-S = 2.44, PMI = 0.268, MI = 5.822, GI = 3.02, GBTI = 2.64, ACR = 2.06, CFD = 1.31, AFD = 1.31, and PFD = 1.17 in the hemophilia group and DMFTI = 11.449, PMI = 0.494, MI = 7.43, GI = 0.67, GBTI = 0.98, OHI-S = 1.45, ACR = 2.87, CFD = 1.35, AFD = 1.35, and PDF = 1.23 in the control group. Differences were significant for all parameters (p < 0.005) except for the DMFTI index. 
Conclusions: Because of poor oral hygiene, high bone resorption, and low bone mineral density in these patients, clinicians should consider potential bone changes when planning to treat these patients.

Práticas de escrita por estudantes com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) na educação superior
Authors: Dias Vivian Ferreira , Moreira Laura Ceretta
Published: April 2024

O ingresso de pessoas com TEA na educação superior é recente e cada vez mais comum. Esse nível de ensino requer práticas de escrita complexas, potencializadas ou dificultadas a depender das barreiras vivenciadas e das mediações oferecidas. Por meio da análise de questionários que focam na escrita, respondidos por 13 estudantes com TEA, de cinco Universidades Federais do Sul do Brasil, essa trajetória educacional foi revisitada com o intuito de indicar caminhos que podem tornar as práticas docentes atentas à diversidade. Os resultados, analisados pela perspectiva foucaultiana de discurso, apontam a dificuldade de interação como a principal barreira, a produção textual como dependente de indicações muito claras e mostram que as práticas “disfuncionais” devem ser reinterpretadas como formas alternativas de construção de sentidos que necessitam ser consideradas nas trajetórias curriculares.

Incluíram-se estudos de qualquer ano ou idioma, sobre disfagia orofaríngea e qualidade de vida em adultos e/ou idosos com necessidades de cuidados paliativos, excluindo-se aqueles exclusivamente sobre disfagia esofágica e/ou pacientes oncológicos. Selecionaram-se, também, outras pesquisas referenciadas nos estudos lidos, incluindo-se as que atendessem aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Resultados: Encontraram-se inicialmente 84 estudos. Ao final, incluíram-se cinco estudos, três qualitativos e dois quantitativos, dois europeus e três brasileiros, publicados na última década; dois indexados em PubMed (um deles também no SciELO), dois em SciELO e LILACS e um somente em LILACS. Conclusão: A literatura levantada mostrou-se escassa, com métodos diversos, amostras pequenas. Todos demonstraram relação entre disfagia orofaríngea e qualidade de vida alterada, um deles sugerindo impacto positivo da intervenção fonoaudiológica. Evidencia-se necessidade de cuidado fonoaudiológico com foco na qualidade de vida, a qual possibilita avaliação dos efeitos da intervenção. Necessitam-se mais estudos e com metodologia mais robusta para que seja possível estabelecer diretrizes clínicas na fonoaudiologia paliativista.
Enhancing Arabic Handwritten Recognition System-Based CNN-BLSTM Using Generative Adversarial Networks
Authors: Rabi Mouhcine , Amrouche Mustapha
Published: April 2024

Arabic Handwritten Recognition (AHR) presents unique challenges due to the complexity of Arabic script and the limited availability of training data. This paper proposes an approach that integrates generative adversarial networks (GANs) for data augmentation within a robust CNN-BLSTM architecture, aiming to significantly improve AHR performance. We employ a CNN-BLSTM network coupled with connectionist temporal classification (CTC) for accurate sequence modeling and recognition. To address data limitations, we incorporate a GANs based data augmentation module trained on the IFN-ENIT Arabic handwriting dataset to generate realistic and diverse synthetic samples, effectively augmenting the original training corpus. Extensive evaluations on the IFN-ENIT benchmark demonstrate the efficacy of adopted approach. We achieve a recognition rate of 95.23%, surpassing the baseline model by 3.54%. This research presents a promising approach to data augmentation in AHR and demonstrates a significant improvement in word recognition accuracy, paving the way for more robust and accurate AHR systems.

Authors: Finocchiaro Franco Nicolás
Published: April 2024

Al comparar estudios empíricos sobre la diversidad en las organizaciones se encuentran resultados disímiles, algunos que apoyan sus beneficios y otros que no aseguran su concreción o que la consideran nociva. Atendiendo a dichas inconsistencias, se busca indagar las principales tensiones generadas en los resultados sobre la forma en la que las diferencias individuales afectan el funcionamiento de los equipos de trabajo. Para lograrlo, se seleccionan 10 artículos de las revistas científicas y se dividen para su análisis en dos tópicos: visión de diversidad planteada y variables organizacionales o contextuales mencionadas como condicionantes de los equipos diversos. La comparación de variables arroja que existen factores influyentes que ejercen cierto consenso y otros que dependen del tipo de organización.

Authors: Faccioli Luca , Vara Giulio , Spinardi Luca , Pastore Trossello Marco , Vornetti Gianfranco , Gentilini Mattia , Ratti Stefano
Published: April 2024

Objective: This study investigates the efficacy and safety of epidural infiltration with drugs and an oxygen-ozone mixture for treating cervicobrachialgia due to disc-radicular conflict or on a degenerative basis, utilizing both retrospective analysis and direct visualization techniques. Methods: A retrospective study involving 10 patients treated with epidural infiltrations of an oxygen-ozone mixture and cortisone was conducted. The procedures were performed under CT guidance to ensure precise delivery and to monitor the diffusion of the injected substances. Pain levels were assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and treatment efficacy was evaluated based on symptom relief and reduction in NSAID intake. Results: Significant pain reduction was observed post-treatment, with median NRS scores decreasing from 9 (baseline) to 2 (follow-up), and a significant decrease in on-demand NSAID intake. Only one minor complication of a headache was reported. The study also demonstrated the ability of ozone to diffuse through the epidural adipose tissue, potentially enhancing treatment efficacy. Conclusion: The combined use of an oxygen-ozone mixture and cortisone for epidural infiltration is an effective and safe treatment for cervicobrachialgia, offering significant pain relief and minimizing the risk associated with traditional epidural injections. This technique presents a viable non-surgical option for patients suffering from disc-radicular conflict or degenerative conditions.

Authors: Ndukum Pascaline Liaken , Encho Leo Tanyam , Soh Mathurin , Okolo Abraham
Published: April 2024

Successful retailer-supplier collaborative relationship enhance profitability in the delivery of products or services to customers in a supply and can help alleviate pressures along all key points in the supply system. A strong alliance can bring products to market faster; reduce production and logistics costs, drive market shares, and increase sales, while maximizing profit for both partners. The success of fast-moving consumer goods from the suppliers has a direct relationship with the performance of the leading retailers, which are their main channel of distribution. The objective of this study was to establish a profit model between a single supplier and multiple supply chain collaboration that will enhance response to customer requirements. We considered the costs for various parties and use a referenced simplified framework model to obtain joint optimal pair for the outcome of coordination between the retailer and supplier. Our results showed that the value of the annual cost, with the same optimal ordering quantity, is higher when the retailer incurs transportation cost than when the supplier incurs transportation cost. This study revealed that the supplier will minimize cost when incurring transportation charges and maximize profit.

Published: April 2024

In this present work, we will study the physical properties of a brand new semiconductor material. the structural stability and the electronic properties of Scandium Arsenide (ScAs) and Aluminum Arsenide (AlAs) semiconductors as well as their ternary alloys (AlxSc1-xAs,0 ≤ x!!!x0020;≤ 1) in both rocksalt RS (B1) and zincblende ZB (B3). Calculations on both structures are done the method (FPLMTO, Full Potential Linear Muffin Tin). In the framework of density functional theory (DFT). The exchange-correlation potential was calculated using both the Local Density Approximation and the Generalized Gradient Approximation.

The structural parameters of AlxSc1-xAs alloys, such as the lattice constant, the bulk module and its derivative are calculated. The lattice parameter deviates slightly from the line of Vegard
’
s Law in B3 structure, while the deviation was more pronounced in B1 structure.

The calculations showed a phase transition from the ZnS phase (B3) to the RS phase (B1) at pressures (7, 10.5, 14.0 and 23.0 Gpa in LDA and (10.0, 12.5, 10.0 and 25.0 GPa) in GGA for x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00) respectively.The calculated electronic properties showed that in phase B1, there exists an energy band (X-X) with a direct gap at x = 0.00. On the other hand, in phase B3, there are two kinds of energy bands, of direct gap (Γ-Γ) for x = 0.25, 075 and 1.00, the second band is of indirect gap (Γ-X) for x = 0.50, suggesting the possibility to be used in the long wavelength optoelectronic applications. The deviation of The calculated band gap deviation from linear behavior was significant in both structures. The AlxSc1-xAs alloys were found to be semiconducting at x=0 in the B1 phase and at x=0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1 in the B3 phase. Concerning calculations of the optical properties of the ternary AlxSc1-xAs alloy at concentrations x= 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 in the ZnS (B3) phase, and from our bibliographic research we are sure that no reference exists in the literature. Our work can therefore be used as a reference for future research. Our simulation results are in good agreement with those obtained theoretically and experimentally.

Published: April 2024

Pinus sibirica (P. sibirica) is used in folk medicine for centuries in treatment of various diseases due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity. The present study was focused on formulating semi-solid topical cream and gel preparations with P. sibirica essential oil (EOPS) and on evaluation of their stability during three months of storage. After preparation of semi-solid formulations (cream and gel), we followed parameters such as organoleptic characteristics, pH values, electrical conductivity, phase separation, washability, swelling index and microbiological contamination. Tests for physical and microbiological stability were performed considering different storage conditions at temperature (4±2° C, 25±2°C and 40±2°C) for 12 weeks. All test were performed at sampling time points of 7th, 30th, 60th, 90th day after storage. Cream with EOPS was white colour, it is homogenous with pleasant odor characteristic to used EOPS while gel with EOPS was transparent, it is homogenous with specific odor. After application to skin, EOPS cream was leaving non-greasy film while gel with EOPS was leaving sticky film and cooling effect. In all tested samples, we observed no phase separation and pH values were optimal for skin application. During three months of storage at different conditions, all tested formulations were stable and addition of EOPS did not cause any changes in followed parameters. Both cream and gel formulation remained stable since we did not notice any significant changes in all followed parameters during storage at different temperatures. Addition of 0.5% of EOPS did not change visual, sensory and microbial properties of formulations.
Sole Survivors: Using Tree-Trunk Wells from Archaeological Excavations to Inform Reconstructions of Medieval Deforestation, and Future Reforestation
Authors: Groenewoudt Bert , Kosian Menne
Published: April 2024

This paper represents an attempt at a detailed analysis of woodland presence and dynamics during the Middle Ages (AD 500-1500), as a contribution to the current debate on large-scale reforestation in the Netherlands. Palynological data for this particular period are scarce and allow only global reconstructions. To widen our search for historical woodland proxies, we investigated the potential of archaeologically excavated tree-trunk wells. We carried out a nation-wide inventory of this type of well, in which the shaft is formed by hollowed-out tree trunks, typically large oak trees. Our suspicion that such trees indicate the local presence of (old) woodland in the past was confirmed by a marked positive correlation with spatial reconstructions based on other sources of information: archaeological (charcoal kilns) and non-archaeological (place names and historical references). The observed correlations suggest that mapping the distribution of precisely dated tree-trunk wells can indeed contribute to achieving fairly detailed reconstructions of medieval woodland cover.

A Threshold Adaptation Mechanism for Detecting and Filtering Low-Rate DDoS Attacks
Authors: Nguyen Dai Tho
Published: April 2024

TCP-targeted low-rate distributed denial-of-service (LDDoS) attacks pose a serious chal- lenge to the reliability and security of the Internet. Among various proposed solutions, we are par- ticularly interested in the Congestion Participation Rate (CPR) metric and the CPR-based approach. Through a simulation study, we show that if the algorithm makes use of a fixed CPR threshold, it cannot simultaneously preserve high TCP throughput under attacks and achieve good fairness per- formance for TCP flows without attacks. Then, we propose a method for adaptively changing the threshold over time to achieve both objectives. Simulation results show that our adaptive CPR-based approach can effectively protect TCP flows under attacks while keeping fairness in normal time.

 وتوصل البحث إلى عدة نتائج كان من أهمها: أن الإسلام جاء بنظام تربوي قائم على ترسيخ مبادئ وأصول العقيدة الصحيحة والقيم الأخلاقية، من أجل تنظيم حياة المسلمين في الدنيا والفوز برضا الله وجنته في الآخرة، كما أظهرت الدراسة أن النبي {r} حرص على أن يرسخ في نفوس الصحابة رضوان الله عليهم الإيمان والعمل الصالح وأداء الفرائض وتقوية الصلة بالله تعالى، وكذلك تدعيم السمات الإيجابية للشخصية وغرس القيم الصالحة، والإفادة من قصص الأنبياء والمرسلين، وذلك لتحقيق الوفاق على المستويين الفردي والجماعي للشخصية الإسلامية بالشكل الذي يساعد الفرد على التمسك بأصول العقيدة الصحيحة.
كما أكد البحث على التربية العقدية الوسطية والتي تعزز العمل على تحلي الفرد بالسلوك المتوازن في كل من ممارسات النفس البشرية سواء تلك المتعلقة بالإنجازات أو بإشباع الحاجات، لأن هذه الوسطية هي التجسيد الحي للعقيدة الصحيحة، ومن خلالها يتحقق الانسجام مع سنن الله وقوانينه في الخلق، ويحتاج الفرد إلى تحقيق مبادئ العقيدة الصحيحة لأنها تزرع في نفسه الأمل والرضا والسكينة، فهي تجعل النفس آمنةً مطمئنةً بحيث لا يظهر عليها قلق معيبٌ أو جزعٌ كثير، أو اضطراب في الأحوال، أو التهويل من شأن المصائب، فالعقيدة السليمة تجعل العبد موصولًا بمولاه على وجه حسن، جميل التوكل، كثير الالتجاء والتبتل، عظيم الخضوع، طويل الخشوع، يُعمل الفكر ويُديم العمل ولا يحصل ذلك إلا إن كانت النفوس آمنة مؤمنة مطمئنة.

THE QUEST FOR UTOPIA IN BLACK THEATRE: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF NGUGI WA THING’O’S THE BLACK HERMIT
Authors: Ahmed Shirin Kamal
Published: April 2024

Utopia, the idea of a perfect society, has been a central theme in literature, philosophy, and art for centuries. The desire for utopia has inspired countless visionaries and reformers, who have sought to create a better world through various means, such as religion, ideology, science, or art. However, utopia has also been criticized and ridiculed as an impossible or even dangerous dream, that distracts us from the reality of our imperfect and flawed world.

Ngugi Wa Thing’o, a prominent Kenyan writer and activist, has addressed the theme of utopia in many of his works, including his play The Black Hermit. Written in the 1960s, at a time of great political and cultural upheaval in Africa and beyond, The Black Hermit offers a complex and nuanced exploration of the quest for utopia in the context of black theatre. Through the character of the Black Hermit, a revolutionary who withdraws from the world to live in solitude, Ngugi raises questions about the nature and meaning of utopia, and its relationship to the struggles and aspirations of black people.

The aim of this research is to deepen our understanding of Ngugi's work and thought  by analysing The Black Hermit as a text that engages with the theme of utopia in a creative and thought-provoking way. It also examines how Ngugi uses the play to critique and challenge various utopia-building projects, and to propose his own vision of utopia as a process of becoming. The research also considers the relevance and significance of Ngugi's utopia to the contemporary world and the ways in which it speaks to universal human concerns.
The Impact of Religious Sense on Graham Greene’s Selected Novels
Authors: Khalaf Salih Luhaib Hamid
Published: April 2024

This paper discusses the religious impact on Greene’ works and the conversion from Orthodoxy to the Roman Catholicism. Especially in the trilogy novels called: Brighton Rock 1938, The Power and The Glory 1940 and The Heart of the Matter 1948. This study reveals the urge insisting of Graham Greene’s desire to insert and restore the importance of human act through the religious sense to the English novel, whereas the decline of moral was much evident in that era.

This research examines the central theme in the selected novels and applies the (moral good theories), the theme is the conflict between good and evil. This theme developed with Greene’s acceptance and obsession with the Roman Catholic faith. This acceptance can be considered as a turning point in his profession, as well as his marriage from a Catholic girl Vivien Dayrell-Browning contributed to his obsession. Eventually, the religious sense is inseparable from Greene’s novels and its effect is quite evident on his literary works.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and traditional Mongolian medicine (TMM) systems treat hypertension in community health institutions within China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region. This paper aims to investigate the use and influence of TCM and TMM among hypertensive older Chinese adults receiving treatment at these community health institutions. A cross-sectional survey method was used in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. A total of 1,499 completed questionnaires were collected from eight community health service centers in four municipal districts of Hohhot between May and June 2022. In all, 662 (44.2%) respondents had used community hypertension treatment services in the last year. Of the 662 respondents, 213 (32.2%) used TCM hypertension treatment services, and 64 (9.7%) used TMM treatment services less frequently and at a lower cost. Chinese herbal medicine (63.5%) and Mongolian herbal medicine (74%) were used more than other treatments. Cognition, attitude, and service provision were the main factors that affected service utilization. Ethnicity also had an impact on TMM’s service utilization. Older Chinese adults with hypertension did not fully utilize the TCM and TMM services provided. Further promotion and expansion of traditional medicine are needed from relevant government and health institutions.
The personality of the offender who commits crimes against people with disabilities and the victimological characteristics of the disabled victim
Authors: Chakiev Murat Akhmedovich
Published: April 2024

One of the vulnerable and unprotected groups of the population are persons with health problems with persistent disorders of body functions, leading to limitations in life activity and necessitating their social and legal protection. Often such persons are chosen by criminals as victims due to their defenseless or helpless state, which does not allow them to resist or makes their property accessible to third parties. The analysis of criminal cases revealed some personality traits of the criminal who chooses disabled people as victims, and also identified three groups of crimes, the commission of which has the specificity of choosing a victim with physical or mental disabilities. These are crimes of violence, crimes against property and corruption. The personality characteristics of the criminal have common characteristics in the case of crimes committed against such a category of victims in everyday life, or who chose the victim immediately before committing the crime, realizing the impossibility of proper resistance or protection of their property. A thorough analysis of each category will allow us to develop appropriate individual preventive measures. Considering the importance of protecting people with disabilities, the peculiarities of their legal status and health status, we consider it important to develop a separate interdisciplinary area of criminology - victimology of the disabled.
