Method for the identification of 60Co in an industrial gamma irradiator
Authors: Angeles Arturo , Ruiz Marco Antonio , Garcia M. T. , Benítez S. J. , Flores M. J.
Published: June 2023

This study presents a method for the identification of a set of radioactive sources of 60Co, in an industrial irradiator. This identification was requested by a Mexican regulatory authority. To fulfill this request, a method was developed to make the identification by the gamma spectrometry method. The complexity in the measurement lies in the fact that the set of sources has an activity of 500,000 Ci of 60Co and the identification is complicated because with that gamma intensity one has to have a strategy to reduce the phenomena of saturation, pile up and dead time and achieve that photopeaks generated in the gamma spectrum of the gamma energies of 60Co are clearly visible. A low efficiency and relatively high resolution CZTe detector, was selected, which was placed in an acrylic box with a collimated lead shield to carry out the measurement inside the irradiator pool to reduce scattered radiation and to be able to clearly appreciate the spectrum gamma of 60Co.
Theatrical Recycling as Colonial Prequel: The Provocation!, Nootka Sound, and British Columbia’s “First” Play
Authors: Davis-Fisch Heather
Published: June 2023

The 1790 pantomime The Provocation!’s intervention into the Nootka Crisis may signal that what was to crystalize by 1871, when British Columbia entered Canadian Confederation as a settler colony, was already taking shape: the confluence of the development of a series of extractive industries, the establishment of settler colonies, and persistent imperial ambivalence about the territory that would eventually become a Canadian province. Given that the Nootka Sound Crisis is now relatively unknown, this article begins by briefly summarizing the crisis. After describing Nootka Sound and The Provocation!, The Provocation!’s apparent intervention in British diplomacy is discussed. Finally, after outlining how the public appearance of six Cherokee Chiefs at one of The Provocation!’s final performances was deployed by the press, the article addresses how the two plays built on pre-circulating British understandings of Indigeneity and of the Pacific Northwest, recycling and activating these performative and visual genealogies to lay the groundwork for the settler-colonial structures that followed in the nineteenth century.

Authors: Shigabiyeva A.I.
Published: June 2023

Lexeme analysis, including spatio-temporal definitions, indicates a universal process of categorizing human knowledge in objective reality. The article presents a synthesis of philosophical and linguistic approaches to the analysis of the category «space», via using encyclopedic, philosophical and cultural, metaphorical dictionaries for systemic and multilevel lexico-semantic research. Language confirms the existence in our heads of various structures of knowledge about the world, which are based on such a unit of mental information as a concept. Images, representations, concepts or their combinations pictures, gestalts, schemes, diagrams, propo-sitions, frames are formed in the process of perceiving the world, they are created as a result of cognition, reflect and synthesize human experience and reality meaningful in different types of activity with the world. The components of thematic groups of spatial relationships have been described in details and various ways. Nominative-semantic groups of the linguistic implementation of the category «space» have also been examined and systematized.

Symbolism of the number “seven” in English and Kazakh languages
Authors: Alshynbayeva M.A. , Omasheva Zh.M. , Mazhitayeva Sh.M.
Published: June 2023

The article attempts to carry out a linguocultural analysis of English and Kazakh phraseological units with the numerical index “seven”. This corpus of phraseological units is represented by a fairly certain range of meanings, as a result of the analysis of which we have identified about 3 phraseosemantic groups in English and 3 groups in Kazakh. The study of the national and cultural specifics of stable phrases with the numerical component “seven” allowed us to identify linguistic and cultural features and common features of phraseological units in the cultures of the English and Kazakh peoples. The study revealed both similarities and differences in the symbolism of the number “seven” in the English and Kazakh languages, which is explained by the universality of the character of the symbols on the one hand and the fact that there is an ethnocultural specificity in the connotative meaning, which is reflected in the culture and language of the people. The universality of the symbolization of numbers is determined by the anthropocentric worldview and the universal system of human development, as well as the desire of a person to explain the structure of the world, society and him- self through the sacred power of numbers. The number also includes certain cultural connotations that reflect both traditions and beliefs common to many peoples, as well as specific ones inherent in cultures, lifestyle,
history, and the national character of this particular ethnic community. This scientific article analyzes the data obtained from historical sources of the two countries, supplemented with comparative information, provides accurate and concise information and consistent data, phraseological units and proverbs in the knowledge of each nation. Also attempts to compare the data of the language components used in Kazakh and English for the number seven.

Assessment of ecosystem functions of green spaces as an important component of their inventory in the context of sustainable development of urban landscapes
Authors: Bidolakh Dmytro
Published: June 2023

An important area of research in the context of ensuring the sustainable development of urban ecosystems is the development of theoretical and applied aspects of the possibilities of obtaining information about the ecosystem usefulness of green spaces. The concept of evaluating and paying for eco-services that produce trees and shrubs for the environment and society is characterised by substantial international interest. In this context, it is important to analyse modern tools and techniques that can adequately determine and evaluate the amount of ecosystem services, which was the main goal of the study. In this paper, the possibility of using the i-Tree Eco tools for quantitative and cost determination of the volume of ecosystem services created by park spaces in the green space inventory process is tested. For this purpose, on the example of the prefix part of the Rayivskyy landscape park of the Ternopil region, the measurement of biometric and sanitary indicators of trees during their inventory was conducted, a number of ecosystem services of plants were determined (reduction of pollutants, absorption and sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and regulation of avoided runoff), the replacement cost of trees was established, the data obtained were analysed, the interpretation of the information received in the form of an interactive electronic map was performed, and the advantages and disadvantages of this process were determined. The study showed that the cost of ecosystem services (in the context of the indicators under study) for the attached part of the Rayivskyy landscape park is 81894 UAH (€3044) per year, and the total replacement cost of the examined plantings is 4486,464 thousand UAH (€166,783). The monetised expression of the ecosystem utility of this plantation creates conditions for improving the understanding of the value of the phytocenosis for urban landscapes. The practical value of the study is the possibility of using its results to improve and increase the information content of the green space inventory process, by obtaining information about ecosystem services of trees in quantitative and cost terms to increase the validity of decisions in the field of nature management

Fintech, singkatan dari teknologi keuangan, telah membawa perubahan signifikan dalam cara kita melakukan transaksi keuangan, mengakses layanan keuangan, dan mengelola keuangan pribadi. Namun, pertumbuhan pesat Fintech juga telah menciptakan peluang bagi praktik ilegal di sektor ini. Dalam abstrak ini, akan dibahas dampak Fintech ilegal pada tingkat ekonomi masyarakat. Fintech illegal merujuk pada praktik-praktik ilegal yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan atau individu yang beroperasi di sektor Fintech tanpa izin atau regulasi yang tepat. Dampak negatif Fintech illegal dapat terlihat dari beberapa perspektif. Praktik ilegal dalam sektor Fintech dapat memberikan dampak negatif pada perekonomian secara keseluruhan. Ini dapat mengurangi kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap industri Fintech secara umum dan menghambat pertumbuhan sektor yang sebenarnya memiliki potensi besar untuk mendukung perkembangan ekonomi. Fintech ilegal sering kali menyasar masyarakat yang tidak memiliki akses yang memadai ke layanan keuangan formal. Akibatnya, masyarakat yang sudah rentan dapat menjadi sasaran praktik ilegal ini dan menghadapi risiko lebih tinggi terhadap eksploitasi dan penipuan. Untuk mengatasi dampak Fintech ilegal pada tingkat ekonomi masyarakat, beberapa tindakan dapat diambil diantaranya; Pemerintah perlu meningkatkan kerangka regulasi dan pengawasan terhadap sektor Fintech untuk mengurangi praktik ilegal. Perusahaan Fintech harus diberikan izin yang tepat dan diawasi secara ketat untuk memastikan kepatuhan terhadap peraturan yang berlaku. Pendidikan dan kesadaran masyarakat tentang risiko Fintech ilegal sangat penting. Masyarakat perlu diberikan informasi yang memadai tentang cara mengidentifikasi Fintech ilegal dan melaporkannya kepada otoritas yang berwenang.

Abstract. Lung health mostly depends on effective mucociliary clearance. Many lung diseases have a classic pathogenetic triad (hypercrinia, dyscrinia, mucostasis) – when thick and viscous mucus is difficult to secrete and this can lead to an infection, progressive inflammation, as well as impaired airway patency. Today, the arsenal of drugs that reduce the density of sputum, improve mucociliary clearance and promote sputum release has significantly increased. Thus, medical professionals face the issue of choosing the optimal drug or their combination, as well as the way of drug management, in acute and chronic respiratory diseases, taking into account the characteristics of the course of the disease and the presence of concomitant pathology. Wider implementation of nebulizer therapy in clinical practice is also relevant. This will significantly increase the effectiveness of mucolytic therapy, which is especially important for patients with chronic bronchopulmonary diseases. Inhalation of a hypertonic solution of sodium chloride in combination with hyaluronic acid provides a direct mucolytic effect – it reduces viscosity and improves the biophysical characteristics of mucus, subsequently improving its transport and excretion.
Hypereosinophilia as a Risk Factor of Pulmonary Embolism in Patients with Oncological Diseases in the Internist's Practice
Authors: Myronenko O. V. , Huba Y. V. , Konopkina L. I.
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Pulmonary embolism is an urgent problem today. Diseases of the cardiovascular system, hereditary factors of impaired hemostasis, childbirth and pregnancy, surgical interventions, injuries, immobilization, dehydration, etc., can be risk factors for increased blood clot formation. In addition, one of the factors that significantly increases the risk of thrombosis is malignant neoplasms. It should be noted that there are factors that are rarely mentioned in the scientific literature as a risk factor for thrombosis, for example, blood hypereosinophilia. An increase in the level of eosinophils in peripheral blood can occur against the background of allergic and autoimmune diseases, parasitic and fungal infections, some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow diseases. The article reveals the pathogenetic basis of the influence of hypereosinophilia on the risk of thrombosis. Hypereosinophilia syndrome is closely associated with thrombosis, which may recur despite adequate anticoagulation or warfarin therapy. Eosinophils accumulate and express tissue factor and after its activation can initiate coagulation. The article describes the clinical case of a patient with lung cancer, which was accompanied by a leukemic reaction in the form of hypereosinophilia, and was complicated by deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities and pulmonary embolism. The example of a clinical case shows the complex mechanism of hemostasis disorders against the background of the presence of a malignant neoplasm, especially when combined with paraneoplastic hypereosinophilia, which is an additional risk factor for the development of treatment-resistant venous thrombosis of various locations and thromboembolism of the pulmonary artery and requires preventive anticoagulation therapy, as well as more intensive and long-term anticoagulant therapy when deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism has already developed.
Gesture-Based Interface for Manipulator-based Mobile Robot Control
Authors: Subramaniam Aditya , Kwame  , Adeboje Oluwafemi
Published: June 2023

The focus of this paper is on a gesture-based interface designed for controlling a mobile robot equipped with a manipulator. This interface employs a camera to track a person's movements and recognize gestures that involve arm motion. To enable the robot to follow a person reliably through environments with changing lighting conditions, a fast, adaptive tracking algorithm is utilized. The paper compares two alternative approaches for gesture recognition: a template-based approach and a neural network approach. Both methods are combined with the Viterbi algorithm to recognize arm motion-based gestures in addition to static arm poses. The results of this study are presented in the context of an interactive clean-up task, where a person directs the robot to specific locations that require cleaning and instructs it to pick up trash. Service robotics is currently an important area of research, with significant potential for societal impact. As service robots interact directly with people, developing intuitive and user-friendly interfaces is crucial. While prior work has primarily focused on navigation and manipulation, few robotic systems possess flexible user interfaces that enable natural and easy-to-use control of the robot.

Стрімкий розвиток і популярність використання соціальних мереж важкоатлетами, важкоатлетичними школами та федераціями різних країн дав новий поштовх в визначені актуальної проблематики, щодо техніки руху в даному виді спорту. Так, аналіз контенту соціальних сторінок кваліфікованих атлетів зарубіжних країн свідчить про постійний попит на послуги кваліфікованих тренерів, що спеціалізуються в техніці руху.

Не зайвим буде зазначити про збільшення кількості мобільних програмних продуктів з аналізу техніки руху важкоатлетів, яка появилася і стала вільнодоступна для користування.

Аналіз науково-методичної та спеціальної літератури з проблем технічної підготовки важкоатлетів високої кваліфікації, також показує, що триває активний пошук нових шляхів аналізу та контролю за кінематикою загальних вправ завдяки приміненю новітніх інформаційних технологій. Цікаво і те, що такий підхід найчастіше застосовують під час навчально-тренувального процесу.

Метою роботи є детальний аналіз особливостей кінематики першого прийому поштовху штанги – підйом на груди у кваліфікованих важкоатлетів залежно від груп вагових категорій у процесі змагальної діяльності. В процесі наукових досліджень були застосовані наступні методи: вивчення науково-методичної літератури, Інтернет ресурсів, педагогічні спостереження, відеозаписи змагань, біомеханічний аналіз структури руху штанги, методи математичної статистики.

У результаті дослідження нами визначено особливості кінематики першого прийому поштовху штанги – піднімання на груди у кваліфікованих важкоатлетів залежно від груп вагових категорій. Доведено, що кінематика руху штанги в підніманні на груди у важкоатлетів різної статі та груп вагових категорій має свої особливості: Одні кінематичні характеристики руху штанги зростають з підвищенням ваги обтяження та вагових категорій спортсменів, другі характеристики кінематики знижуються, інші залишаються без змін.

Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: The role of ELAPOR1 has been evaluated in several cancers but has not been elucidated in colorectal cancer (CRC). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of ELAPOR1 in CRC. METHODS: In the present study, the correlation between ELAPOR1 and survival of CRC patients in TCGA-COAD-READ datasets was predicted, and the difference in ELAPOR1 expression between tumor and normal tissues was analyzed. ELAPOR1 expression in CRC tissues was measured by immunohistochemistry. Then, ELAPOR1 and ELAPOR1-shRNA plasmids were constructed and transfected into SW620 and RKO cells. The effects were assessed by CCK-8, colony formation, transwell, and wound healing assays. Transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed on the genes before and after ELAPOR1 overexpression in SW620 cells; the differentially expressed genes were substantiated by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR. RESULTS: High level of ELAPOR1 is associated with favorable disease-free survival and overall survival. Compared to normal mucosa, ELAPOR1 is lower in CRC. Moreover, ELAPOR1 overexpression significantly inhibits cell proliferation and invasion in vitro in SW260 and RKO cells. Conversely, ELAPOR1-shRNA promotes CRC cell proliferation and invasion. Among the 355 differentially expressed mRNAs identified, 234 were upregulated and 121 were downregulated. Bioinformatics indicated that these genes are involved in receptor binding, plasma membrane, negative regulation of cell proliferation, as well as common cancer signaling pathways. CONCLUSIONS: ELAPOR1 plays an inhibitory role in CRC and may be used as a prognostic indicator and a potential target for treatment.

Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND:

The correlation between the preoperative albuminalkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR) and the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after radical resection is still not comprehensive.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aims to observe the correlation between preoperative AAPR and the prognosis of HCC patients after radical resection.

METHODS:

We constructed a retrospective cohort study and included 656 HCC patients who underwent radical resection. The patients were grouped after determining an optimum AAPR cut-off value. We used the Cox proportional regression model to assess the correlation between preoperative AAPR and the prognosis of HCC patients after radical resection.

RESULTS:

The optimal cut-off value of AAPR for assessing the prognosis of HCC patients after radical resection was 0.52 which was acquired by using X-tile software. Kaplan-Meier analysis curves showed that a low AAPR ([Formula: see text] 0.52) had a significantly lower rate of overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) ([Formula: see text] 0.05). Multiple Cox proportional regression showed that an AAPR [Formula: see text] 0.52 was a protective factor for OS (HR [Formula: see text] 0.66, 95%CI 0.45-0.97, [Formula: see text] 0.036) and RFS (HR [Formula: see text] 0.70, 95% CI 0.53–0.92, [Formula: see text] 0.011).

CONCLUSIONS:

The preoperative AAPR level was related to the prognosis of HCC patients after radical resection and can be used as a routine preoperative test, which is important for early detection of high-risk patients and taking personalized adjuvant treatment.

Published: June 2023

Background: Gender, APOE ɛ4 status and age have different effects on brain amyloid deposition in patients with mild cognitively impaired (MCI). Objective: To investigate the effect of gender×APOE ɛ4 status interaction on Aβ deposition in the brains of individuals with MCI in different age groups by PET scanning. Methods: 204 individuals with MCI were classified into younger or older groups based on whether they were under or over 65 years of age. APOE genotyping, structural MRI, amyloid PET scans, and neuropsychological tests were performed. The effect of gender×APOE ɛ4 status interaction on Aβ deposition was assessed in different age groups. Results: APOE ɛ4 carriers had higher amyloid deposition than noncarriers in the whole group. Females with MCI had more amyloid deposition in the medial temporal lobe than males in the whole cohort and younger group. Older individuals with MCI had higher amyloid deposition than younger individuals. In stratified analysis by age, female APOE ɛ4 carriers had significantly increased amyloid deposition compared to their male counterparts only in the medial temporal lobe in the younger group. Amyloid deposition was increased in female APOE ɛ4 carriers compared to noncarriers in the younger group, whereas higher amyloid deposition was observed in male APOE ɛ4 carriers in the older group. Conclusion: Women in the younger group with MCI who were APOE ɛ4 carriers had more amyloid deposition in the brain, while men in the older group with MCI who were APOE ɛ4 carriers had higher amyloid deposition.

After the CLARITY-AD clinical trial results of lecanemab were interpreted as positive, and supporting the amyloid hypothesis, the drug received accelerated Food and Drug Administration approval. However, we argue that benefits of lecanemab treatment are uncertain and may yield net harm for some patients, and that the data do not support the amyloid hypothesis. We note potential biases from inclusion, unblinding, dropouts, and other issues. Given substantial adverse effects and subgroup heterogeneity, we conclude that lecanemab’s efficacy is not clinically meaningful, consistent with numerous analyses suggesting that amyloid-β and its derivatives are not the main causative agents of Alzheimer’s disease dementia.

Published: June 2023

In a large population-based cohort, we show not all heterozygous APOE ɛ4 carriers are at increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD); a significantly higher AD proportion was only found for ɛ3/ɛ4, not ɛ2/ɛ4. Among ɛ3/ɛ4 carriers (24% in the cohort), the AD proportion differed considerably by polygenic risk score (PRS). In particular, the AD proportion was lower than the entire cohort for subjects in the bottom 20-percentile PRS and was higher than that of homozygous ɛ4 carriers for subjects at the top 5th-percentile PRS. Family history was no longer a significant predictor of AD risk after adjusting APOE and PRS.

Published: June 2023

Background: The way to evaluate brain tau pathology in vivo is tau positron emission tomography (tau-PET) or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. In the clinically diagnosed mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a proportion of tau-PET are negative. Interest in less expensive and convenient ways to detect tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease has increased due to the high cost of tau-PET and the invasiveness of lumbar puncture, which typically slows down the cost and enrollment of clinical trials. Objective: We aimed to investigate one simple and effective method in predicting tau-PET status in MCI individuals. Methods: The sample included 154 individuals which were dichotomized into tau-PET (+) and tau-PET (–) using a cut-off of >1.33. We used stepwise regression to select the unitary or combination of variables that best predicted tau-PET. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to assess the accuracy of single and multiple clinical markers. Results: The combined performance of three variables [Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale 13 (ADAS-Cog13), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), ADNI-Memory summary score (ADNI-MEM)] in neurocognitive measures demonstrated good predictive accuracy of tau-PET status [accuracy = 85.7%, area under the curve (AUC) = 0.879]. The combination of clinical markers model (APOE ɛ4, neurocognitive measures and structural MRI imaging of middle temporal) had the best discriminative power (AUC = 0.946). Conclusion: As a noninvasive test, the combination of APOE ɛ4, neurocognitive measures and structural MRI imaging of middle temporal accurately predicts tau-PET status. The finding may provide a non-invasive, cost-effective tool for clinical application in predicting tau pathology among MCI individuals.
Optimal FPGA memory allocation for image processing
Authors: Bao Bengang , Liang Xiaoling
Published: June 2023

In the field of computer vision, Field Programmable Gate Array (FGPA) limited de on-chip memory is difficult to meet the power, size and other requirements. To address this phenomenon, the study constructs a partitioning algorithm to achieve a balance between energy consumption and resource utilisation based on the analysis of memory resource allocation, overall power consumption and resource utilisation from the perspective of image processing technology. The power consumption of the balancing algorithm is lower compared to the optimised utilisation algorithm HLS tool, with both Block Ramdom Access Memory (BRAM) power consumption taking the value of 0.005; the dynamic power consumption takes the value range of 0.014–0.082. Compared to the High Level Synthesis (HLS) tool, the overall power consumption of the balancing algorithm and the optimised utilisation algorithm is significantly lower, with the values of 0.251 and 0.252 respectively, both with a reduction rate of approximately 30%. The accuracy rate of the proposed memory optimisation allocation algorithm is the highest among the four memory optimisation allocation algorithms and strategies on all three types of target scales. FPGA memory optimisation allocation strategy can guarantee to have lower power consumption while satisfying the same resource occupancy, and the model has in-depth application value in visual image vision technology.
Research on the prediction of short time series based on EMD-LSTM
Authors: Liu Yongzhi , Wu Gang
Published: June 2023

An algorithm based on EMD-LSTM (Empirical Mode Decision – Long Short Term Memory) is proposed for predicting short time series with uncertainty, rapid changes, and no following cycle. First, the algorithm eliminates the abnormal data; second, the processed time series are decomposed into basic modal components for different characteristic scales, which can be used for further prediction; finally, an LSTM neural network is used to predict each modal component, and the prediction results for each modal component are summed to determine a final prediction. Experiments are performed on the public datasets available at UCR and compared with a machine learning algorithm based on LSTMs and SVMs. Several experiments have shown that the proposed EMD-LSTM-based short-time series prediction algorithm performs better than LSTM and SVM prediction methods and provides a feasible method for predicting short-time series.
Symbolic protocol verification with dice1
Authors: Cheval Vincent , Crubillé Raphaëlle , Kremer Steve
Published: June 2023

Symbolic protocol verification generally abstracts probabilities away, considering computations that succeed only with negligible probability, such as guessing random numbers or breaking an encryption scheme, as impossible. This abstraction, sometimes referred to as the perfect cryptography assumption, has shown very useful as it simplifies automation of the analysis. However, probabilities may also appear in the control flow where they are generally not negligible. In this paper we consider a framework for symbolic protocol analysis with a probabilistic choice operator: the probabilistic applied π-calculus. We define and explore the relationships between several behavioral equivalences. In particular we show the need for randomized schedulers and exhibit a counter-example to a result in a previous work that relied on non-randomized ones. As in other frameworks that mix both non-deterministic and probabilistic choices, schedulers may sometimes be unrealistically powerful. We therefore consider two subclasses of processes that avoid this problem. In particular, when considering purely non-deterministic protocols, as is done in classical symbolic verification, we show that a probabilistic adversary has – maybe surprisingly – a strictly superior distinguishing power for may testing, which, when the number of sessions is bounded, we show to coincide with purely possibilistic similarity.
