Digital Approaches to Automated and Machine Learning Assessments of Hearing: Scoping Review
Authors: Wasmann Jan-Willem , Pragt Leontien , Eikelboom Robert , Swanepoel De Wet
Published: December 2021

Background

Hearing loss affects 1 in 5 people worldwide and is estimated to affect 1 in 4 by 2050. Treatment relies on the accurate diagnosis of hearing loss; however, this first step is out of reach for >80% of those affected. Increasingly automated approaches are being developed for self-administered digital hearing assessments without the direct involvement of professionals.

Objective

This study aims to provide an overview of digital approaches in automated and machine learning assessments of hearing using pure-tone audiometry and to focus on the aspects related to accuracy, reliability, and time efficiency. This review is an extension of a 2013 systematic review.

Methods

A search across the electronic databases of PubMed, IEEE, and Web of Science was conducted to identify relevant reports from the peer-reviewed literature. Key information about each report’s scope and details was collected to assess the commonalities among the approaches.

Results

A total of 56 reports from 2012 to June 2021 were included. From this selection, 27 unique automated approaches were identified. Machine learning approaches require fewer trials than conventional threshold-seeking approaches, and personal digital devices make assessments more affordable and accessible. Validity can be enhanced using digital technologies for quality surveillance, including noise monitoring and detecting inconclusive results.

Conclusions

In the past 10 years, an increasing number of automated approaches have reported similar accuracy, reliability, and time efficiency as manual hearing assessments. New developments, including machine learning approaches, offer features, versatility, and cost-effectiveness beyond manual audiometry. Used within identified limitations, automated assessments using digital devices can support task-shifting, self-care, telehealth, and clinical care pathways.
Attitudes Toward Artificial Intelligence Among Dermatologists in Morocco: A National Survey
Authors: Chakiri Radia , Lahlou Laila
Published: December 2021

Background

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a hot topic, and the use of AI in our day-to-day lives has increased exponentially. AI is becoming increasingly important in dermatology, with studies reporting accuracy matching or exceeding that of dermatologists in the diagnosis of skin lesions from clinical and dermoscopic images. However, little is known about the attitudes of dermatologists in Morocco toward AI.

Objective

The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the attitudes of dermatologists in Morocco toward AI.

Methods

An online survey was distributed through Google Forms (Google LLC) to dermatologists in Morocco and was open from January to June 2021. Statistical analysis of the data collected was performed using Jamovi software. Any association for which the P value was <.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

In total, 183 surveys were completed and analyzed. Overall, 79.8% of respondents were female, and the median age was 35 years (IQR 25-74 years). A total of 30.6% stated that they were not aware of AI, and 34.4% had a basic knowledge of AI technologies. Only 7.7% of the respondents strongly agreed that the human dermatologist will be replaced by AI in the foreseeable future. Of the entire group, 61.8% agreed or strongly agreed that AI will improve dermatology, and 70% thought that AI should be part of medical training. In addition, only 32.2% reported having read publications about AI. Female dermatologists showed more fear pertaining to the use of AI within dermatology (P=.01); this group also suggested that AI has a very strong potential in the detection of skin diseases using dermoscopic images (P=.03).

Conclusions

Our results demonstrate an overall optimistic attitude toward AI among dermatologists in Morocco. The majority of respondents believed that it will improve diagnostic capabilities.

A 9-Year Teledermoscopy Service: Retrospective Service Review
Authors: Teoh Novell Shu Chyng , Oakley Amanda
Published: December 2021

Background

A teledermoscopy service was established in January 2010, where patients attended nurse-led clinics for imaging of lesions of concern and remote diagnosis by a dermatologist.

Objective

The study aimed to review the number of visits, patient characteristics, the efficiency of the service, and the diagnoses made.

Methods

We evaluated the waiting time and diagnosis of skin lesions for all patient visits from January 1, 2010, to May 31, 2019. The relationships between patient characteristics and the diagnosis of melanoma were specifically analyzed.

Results

The teledermoscopy clinic was attended by 6479 patients for 11,005 skin lesions on 8805 occasions. Statistically significant risk factors for the diagnosis of melanoma/melanoma in situ were male sex, European ethnicity, and Fitzpatrick skin type 2. Attendance was maximal during 2015 and 2016. The seasonal variation in visits 2011-2018 revealed a consistent peak at the end of summer and a dip at the end of winter. In the year 2010, 306 patients attended; 76% (233/306) of these were discharged to primary care and 24% (73/306) were referred to hospital for specialist assessment. For patients diagnosed by the dermatologist with suspected melanoma from January 1, 2010, to May 31, 2019, the median waiting time for an imaging appointment was 44.5 days (average 57.9 days, range 8-218 days). The most common lesions diagnosed were benign naevus (2933/11,005, 27%), benign keratosis (2576/11,005, 23%), and keratinocytic cancer (1707/11,005, 15%); melanoma was suspected in 5% (507/11,005) of referred lesions (Multimedia Appendix 1). The positive predictive value of melanoma/melanoma in situ was 61.1% (320 true positives and 203 false positives). The number needed to treat (ie, the ratio of the total number of excisions to the number with a histological diagnosis of melanoma/melanoma in situ) was 2.02.

Conclusions

Diagnoses were comparable to the experience of other teledermoscopy services. Teledermoscopy using a nurse-led imaging clinic can provide efficient and convenient access to dermatology by streamlining referrals to secondary care and prioritizing patients with skin cancer for treatment.

A Validated Questionnaire to Evaluate Primary Care Pediatrician Satisfaction With the Use of Teledermatology
Authors: Palazón Cabanes Juan Carlos , Juan Carpena G , Berbegal García L , Martínez Miravete T , Palazón Cabanes B , Betlloch Mas I
Published: December 2021

Background

Teledermatology (TD) is a branch of telemedicine focused on the evaluation of cutaneous lesions by dermatologists remotely, in order to avoid unnecessary in-person consults that could be otherwise resolved by this method, and to shorten the time required for prompt evaluation of cutaneous diseases.

Objective

This study aimed to create and validate a questionnaire to evaluate satisfaction with the use of TD among primary care pediatricians (PCPs) and to test the questionnaire in our health area before performing an intervention for the optimization of TD.

Methods

We first created a questionnaire based on previous publications. Then, an expert consultation was made before drafting the final version of the questionnaire. We tested it twice among pediatricians of different health areas, with a 1-month gap between both evaluations. Internal consistency, reproducibility, and validity of the questionnaire were evaluated. Finally, the validated questionnaire was tested among the PCPs of our health area, to analyze their responses.

Results

We registered 38 questionnaire responses. In all, 30 (78.9%) PCPs actively used TD several times within a month or a year; none of them used TD daily. Technical and health care quality of TD was mostly considered as good or very good. TD was regarded as similar or even better than face-to-face evaluation for most PCPs, whereas 7.9% (3/38) of PCPs thought TD was worse than conventional consults. Most PCPs considered TD as an effective, self-learning, and trustable tool, and 10.5% (4/38) of them identified that pictures captured by mobile phones were a barrier for its use, as it affects patient privacy. Technical problems, absence of exclusive devices for image taking, and delayed answers are some other barriers for TD that need to be overcome. Nonetheless, all PCPs were satisfied with TD, and all of them reported they would continue or start to use this tool.

Conclusions

TD has demonstrated to be an efficient tool, as it reduces waiting time and costs for dermatology evaluation, and it increases satisfaction among professionals. With our proposed questionnaire, we validated that quality, usability, efficacy, and satisfaction related to TD in our health area had a positive consideration among PCPs in general, but there still are barriers to overcome.

An Early Warning Mobile Health Screening and Risk Scoring App for Preventing In-Hospital Transmission of COVID-19 by Health Care Workers: Development and Feasibility Study (Preprint)
Authors: Mbiine Ronald , Nakanwagi Cephas , Lekuya Herve Monka , Aine Joan , Hakim Kawesi , Nabunya Lilian , Tomusange Henry
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Hospitals have been identified as very high-risk places for COVID-19 transmission between health care workers and patients who do not have COVID-19. Health care workers are the most at-risk population to contract and transmit the infection, especially to already vulnerable patients who do not have COVID-19. In low-income countries, routine testing is not feasible due to the high cost of testing; therefore, presenting the risk of uncontrolled transmission within non–COVID-19 treatment wards. This challenge necessitated the development of an affordable intermediary screening tool that would enable early identification of potentially infected health care workers and for early real time DNA–polymerase chain reaction testing prioritization. This would limit the contact time of potentially infected health care workers with the patients but also enable efficient use of the limited testing kits.

OBJECTIVE

The aims of this study are to describe an early warning in-hospital mobile risk analysis app for screening COVID-19 and to determine the feasibility and user-friendliness of the app among health care workers.

METHODS

The primary result of this research project was the development of a mobile-based daily early warning system for in-hospital transmission of COVID-19. Overall, the Early Warning System for In-Hospital Transmission of COVID-19 (EWAS) mobile app was found to be feasible, with over 69% of the health care workers having logged more than 67% of the required times. Over 93% of the participants reported that the tool was easy to use.

RESULTS

The primary result of this research project was the development of a mobile-based daily early warning system for in-hospital transmission of COVID-19. Overall, the Early Warning System for In-Hospital Transmission of COVID-19 (EWAS) mobile app was found to be feasible, with 69% of the health care workers (69/100) having logged more than 67% of the required times. Of the 100 participants, 93 reported that the tool was easy to use.

CONCLUSIONS

The EWAS mobile app is a feasible and user-friendly daily risk scoring tool for preventing in-hospital transmission of COVID-19. Although it was not designed to be a diagnostic tool but rather a screening tool, there is a need to evaluate its sensitivity in predicting persons likely to have contracted COVID-19.
Examining the Impact of Digital Components Across Different Phases of Treatment in a Blended Care Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Intervention for Depression and Anxiety: Pragmatic Retrospective Study (Preprint)
Authors: Wu Monica S , Wickham Robert E , Chen Shih-Yin , Chen Connie , Lungu Anita
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Depression and anxiety incur significant personal and societal costs. Effective psychotherapies exist, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT); however, timely access to quality care is limited by myriad barriers. Blended care therapy models incorporate traditional face-to-face therapy with scalable, digital components of care, expanding the reach of evidence-based care.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a blended care CBT program (BC-CBT) in real-world settings and examine the unique impacts of the (1) digital components of care (video lessons and digital exercises) and (2) phase of treatment (early versus late) in decreasing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

METHODS

This retrospective cohort analysis included 3401 US-based individuals enrolled in a BC-CBT program, who presented with clinical levels of depression and/or anxiety. The treatment program consisted of regular therapy sessions augmented by clinician-assigned digital video lessons and exercises. A growth curve model incorporating time-varying covariates examined the relationship between engagement with BCT components (ie, therapy sessions, digital video lessons, and digital exercises) during the early (weeks 0-7) and late (weeks 8-15) phases of treatment, and weekly symptom reports on depression and anxiety measures.

RESULTS

On average, a significant decline in depression and anxiety symptoms was observed during the initial weeks of treatment (P<.001), with a continued, though slower, decline over subsequent weeks (P<.001). Each session completed was associated with significant decreases in anxiety (b=–0.72) and depression (b=–0.83) in the early phase, as well as in the late phase (anxiety, b=–0.47; depression, b=–0.27). Significant decreases in anxiety (b=–0.15) and depression (b=–0.12) were observed for time spent on video lessons (measured in 10-minute intervals) in the early phase of treatment. Engaging with exercises was associated with statistically significant increases in anxiety symptoms (b=0.03) during the early phase of treatment. However, sensitivity analyses examining the effects of exercises in isolation revealed significant decreases in anxiety (b=–0.05) in the early phase, suggesting a potential suppression effect in the larger model.

CONCLUSIONS

Using a retrospective cohort design, therapy sessions and digital video lessons were uniquely predictive of improvements in depression and anxiety symptoms, and their effects were modulated based on the phase of treatment (early vs late). Future research should investigate whether other treatment variables, such as therapeutic alliance or familiarity with technology, are related to differential effects on various components of care.
Finite Element Modelling of Prestressed Concrete Piles in Soft Soils, Case Study: Northern Jakarta, Indonesia
Authors: Lim Aswin , Varian Harwin Batistuta  , Yiska Vivian Chritiansen Wijaya
Published: December 2021

Jakarta is faced with limited land resources due to its position as the capital city of Indonesia. Therefore, numerous high-rise buildings are being constructed to solve this problem and provide accommodations for a large number of Jakarta residents. Studies have shown that prestressed concrete piles (spun piles) are commonly used as the foundations of high-rise buildings in metropolitan cities across Indonesia, especially in the Northern Jakarta Coastal area, which is predominant with deep soft soils deposit. To further assess and verify the ultimate capacity of the pile, a static loading test was conducted. However, not all results from the field test produced ideal, accurate, precise, and reliable load-settlement curve (until failure) results. Therefore, this study aims to determine the soil properties for the analysis of prestressed concrete spun piles with a diameter of 600 mm in the Northern Jakarta coastal area based on the standard penetration test values (SPT-N). It is a case study of a well-documented static pile load test using the kentledge system. Back analyses were performed by the finite element method to obtain the extrapolated load-settlement curve. Furthermore, the effect of interface strength between pile and soil on the load-settlement curve was also investigated. The results showed that a reduction of interface strength leads to a smaller load–settlement curve. In addition, several geotechnical engineering parameters of soil, such as the undrained shear strength and effective young's modulus, were established using data from an in-situ soil site investigation and empirical correlations with SPT-N.
Optimizing The Functional Performance of Road Network using Vulnerability Assessment to Cope with Unforeseen Road Incidents
Authors: Amrozi Mukhammad Rizka Fahmi , Raihan Pasha Isheka
Published: December 2021

An Urban Road network is often used for multipurpose trips, due to their transportation functions, such as attractiveness and orientation, as well as social, ecological, and economic features. In Indonesia, road incidents have reportedly increased during the last decade because of a higher frequency of natural hazards, accidents, and on-street mass demonstrations. These incidents are found to degrade or terminate road access, forcing users to utilize alternative routes and decreasing the service performance in adjacent directions. Due to the unexpected occurrences at any location and time, there is a need to investigate the impact of random incidents on road performances. Several accessibility indexes have also been used to evaluate the vulnerability of road networks. However, this is less practical in Indonesia, with the road authority using functional performances as the indicator. This indicates the need for an index to be developed based on road performance parameters. Therefore, this study aims to develop a road performance-based vulnerability index known as the RCI (Road Criticality Index). Combined with a traffic simulation tool, this system is used as an alternative index to assess vulnerabilities, by identifying the road(s) providing worse consequences due to unforeseen incidents. This simulation was conducted by using the PTV Visum, assuming a road section is closed due to the worst incident scenarios. The result showed that the RCI offered a more comprehensive assessment than the existing indicator (volume capacity ratio). The RCI included travel speed and mobility components for evaluating both local and global road performances. With the knowledge of the most vulnerable locations and their consequences, road authorities can prioritize maintenance and development strategies based on the criticality index. Also, preventive measures should be conducted to mitigate risk under a constrained budget. This methodology can be applied to sustainably enhance the resilience of urban road networks.
The Low Flow Assessment of Padma River in Bangladesh
Authors: Md. Abu Sayed  , Akter Aysha
Published: December 2021

Low flow or Environmental Flow (EF) assessment is vital to ensure the river and ecosystem remain healthy. Both natural and human interventions might alter a river. Therefore, this study presents EF requirements of the famous Hilsa breeding center in the Padma River, Bangladesh, by applying the Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) for discharge and water surface levels simulations at different stations. The frequency analysis of 20 years of historical data, spanning 2000-2019, used the Log-Pearson Type III (LP-III) distribution method, while the one-dimensional unsteady flow simulation was performed for the last 10 years (i.e., 2012-2019). Subsequently, the HEC-RAS simulated water level values reasonably correlated with the field observations at four stations, namely Baruria Transit, Mawa, Tarpasha, Sureswar, with Coefficient of determination R2=0.86, 0.83, 0.92, and 0.74, alongside simulated minimum water surface levels of 1.57 m, 0.37 m, 0.30 m, and 0.27 m, respectively. Also, the Baruria Transit and Mawa had simulated flows that reasonably correlated with the field observations at R2=0.70 and 0.61, with a simulated minimum flow of 3849.51 m3/s and 3789.14 m3/s, respectively. The minimum flow according to the frequency analysis was 4017 m3/s, 3685 m3/s, 3449 m3/s, 3229 m3/s, and 3113 m3/s at Baruria Transit and 3304 m3/s, 2781 m3/s, 2438 m3/s, 2141 m3/s, 1992 m3/s at Mawa station in 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 years return periods, respectively. This study overlooked to report the ongoing investigations into the water quality issues. Thus, this study is expected to guide the required EF quantity towards a healthy Hilsha fish habitat and surface water source for drinking purposes in this studied river. The stated method is also applicable to other similar rivers around the world.
Economy and status of Neolithic to Early Bronze age sites in the Southern Caucasus during the 6th‐3rd mill. BCE: The evidence from ground stone tools
Authors: Hamon Caroline
Published: December 2021

In the Southern Caucasus, the evolution of the Neolithic to Bronze age (6th-3rd millenia BCE) economies is often investigated through the prism of adaptation to constrasted landscapes and environments (arid plain, high moutains, subtropical western coasts) and strategies of natural resource exploitation. This overview of the main technological and functional characteristics of ground stone tools from about 20 sites in the Kura Valley (Georgia, Azerbaijan) contributes to the discussion surrounding these questions. After an overview of the evolution of the grinding equipment and stone tool manufacture within a long term perspective, from the Late Neoliothic to the Early Bronze Age, several issues are adressed. The composition of the macrolithic toolkit is a key issue when discussing the importance of agriculture versus pastoralism in the economy of these populations, which evolved in different regional and environmental contexts. Its management also contributes to our understanding of the degree of sedentarity versus mobility of the populations. Finally, we discuss how the technical evolution of the macrolithic toolkit reflects the principal global changes occurring during this long period of time (neolithisation, emergence of metallurgy, and the mining phenomenon) and their cultural meaning. Our initial results underline the significance of some implements as cultural markers, and also contribute to defining the common cultural background and regional specificities within the South Caucasus region.
Book review: The prehistoric apprentice: Investigating apprenticeship, know-how and expertise in prehistoric technologies; L’apprenti préhistorique: Appréhender l’apprentissage, les savoir-faire et l’expertise à travers les productions techniques des soci
Authors: Kolhatkar Manek
Published: December 2021

Describing cultural change and variability and inferring sociocultural dynamics about past people and communities may be among archaeology’s main goals as a field of practice. In this regard, the concept of skill has proved its usefulness to, time and again, expand the breath of archaeologists and lithic technologists’ analyses. It covers a wide range of applications, from apprenticeship, cognition, paleo-sociology, spatial organization. It is one of the main causes for material culture variability, up there with raw material constraints, design, technological organization or cultural norms. Yet, while skill has certainly been the focus of some research in the last decades, it remains quite peripheral, when considering how central the concept should be to technological inquiries. Whatever the reasons may be, this book, edited by Laurent Klaric and fully bilingual (French and English), aims at changing that, and argues for skill to become a central concern in lithic technology. Its chapters do so strongly and the end-result is a book that should become a reference for lithic technologists, whatever their research interests or schools of thought may be.

Published: December 2021

En la presente nota crítica entablo una polémica con la obra Cuando los filósofos políticos se equivocan de Guillermo Lariguet. Este libro plantea la necesidad de pensar cómo una filosofía política responsable, ética y epistémicamente, ha de llevar a la reflexión sobre la política y lo político el rigor y la voluntad de imparcialidad que definen el pensar filosófico. Abordo los conceptos centrales de Lariguet desde una visión crítica tomando como referentes algunos tópicos del campo de la filosofía política. Para tal fin, expongo el contexto de la obra (temáticas políticas como “la grieta” en Argentina), reviso varias de sus ideas y cierro con algunas reflexiones propias.
An Approach to Colliding Plane Waves in General Relativity
Authors: Srivastava Dr. Shailendra Kumar
Published: December 2021

Abstract: For many years after Einstein proposed his general theory of relativity, only a few exact solutions were known. Today the situation is completely different, and we now have a vast number of such solutions. However, very few are well understood in the sense that they can be clearly interpreted as the fields of real physical sources. The obvious exceptions are the Schwarzschild and Kerr solutions. These have been very thoroughly analysed, and clearly describe the gravitational fields surrounding static and rotating black holes respectively. In practice, one of the great difficulties of relating the particular features of general relativity to real physical problems, arises from the high degree of non-linearity of the field equations. Although the linearized theory has been used in some applications, its use is severely limited. Many of the most interesting properties of space-time, such as the occurrence of singularities, are consequences of the non-linearity of the equations. Keywords: General Relativity , Space-Time, Singularities, Non-linearity of the Equations.

VİYOLONSEL ÇALGISININ TÜRK MÜZİĞİ ÇALGI TOPLULUKLARINDA KULLANIMI
Authors: DÖNMEZ Yağmur Eylül , İMİK Ünal
Published: December 2021

Batı müziği kökenli ve insan sesine en yakın çalgı olarak bilinen viyolonselin, bas karaktere sahip ses tınısı ve aralığıyla Batı müziği haricinde Türk müziği ve Türk müziği çalgı topluluklarında tercih edilmekte olduğu görülmektedir. Viyolonsel 19. yüzyıldan itibaren Osmanlı devletinde başlamış olan batılılaşma hareketleriyle birlikte Türk müziğine girmeye başlamıştır. Ses aralığı, yaylı çalgı olması sebebiyle uzun sesleri tutabilmesi ve mikrotonal icra yatkınlığı ile Türk müziğinde önemli renk sazları arasında yer alan rebab, ıklığ vs. gibi çalgıların zamanla yerine geçerek Türk müziği çalgı topluluklarında kendine önemli bir yer edinmiş olduğu düşünülmektedir. Araştırmada durum tespiti yapmaya yönelik, betimsel bir yaklaşım sergilenmektedir. Araştırma sürecinde öncelikle konuya yönelik literatür taranmış, alan uzmanı çello icracıları ile (Murat Süngü, Özer Arkun, Uğur Işık, Serkan Özdemir, Şeref İşler) görüşmeler yapılmış ve elde edilen bulgulardan yola çıkarak konuya yönelik çeşitli yorumlar yapılmıştır. Daha sonrasında, bulgu ve yorumlar ışığında çeşitli sonuçlara ulaşılmaya çalışılmıştır.Araştırma sonuçlarından bazıları sıralanacak olursa; Karakteristik Batı müziği çalgısı olan viyolonselin, bas karakterli ses aralığının ve mikrotonal seslerin icra edilebilme olanağı, bu çalgının Türk müziği fasıl ve çalgı toplulukları arasına girmesini olağan kılmış olduğu, viyolonselin Türk müziği çalgı topluluklarında işlevinin sadece bas ses kullanımı olmadığı, Türk müziği toplulukları içerisinde solo veya eşlik durumunda uygulanması gereken icra farklılıklarının topluluk ahengini ve kalitesini arttırabileceği, günümüzde viyolonsel çalgısının sadece Türk Sanat Müziğinde değil, Türk Halk müziği ve tasavvuf müziği çalgı topluluklarında tercih edilmekte olduğu, viyolonsel çalgısının Batı müziğinde eğitimi çeşitli metodolojik yaklaşımlarla aktarılırken, Türk müziğinde metodolojik eğitim ve yanı sıra Türk meşk sistemiyle öğretilmekte olduğu, viyolonselin Türk müziği çalgı topluluklarında devamlılığı sürecekse, çalgının icra ve eğitimi aşamasında belirli bir yöntem ve standartlaşma getirilmesi gerekliliği aklımıza gelenlerden bazıları olacaktır.
NARRATIVA-CARRASCO: KAFKA, ARTAUD E A CRUELDADE
Authors: Malufe Annita Costa , Raphaelli Matheus Bagaiolo
Published: December 2021

O artigo desenvolve o conceito de “narrativa-carrasco”, com o objetivo de elucidar uma dinâmica importante da narrativa kafkiana: seu modo de evoluir por meio de uma autodestruição, em um processo de recomeços sem finalização e sem transcendência possível. Para tanto, parte da ideia de absurdo e busca analisar alguns procedimentos de escrita do autor tcheco que explicitam tal mecanismo, mais detidamente em um de seus contos (“O novo advogado”). Um dos traços fundamentais explorados dessa narrativa-carrasco é aquele de se constituir enquanto saída para o niilismo ocidental. Para tanto, coloca-se em diálogo a filosofia de Nietzsche para chegar-se, ao final, à relação com o conceito de crueldade de Antonin Artaud como chave para compreensão dessa escrita da imanência proposta por Kafka.
VIRAR OUTRO: A AUTORIA EM A QUEDA DO CÉU
Authors: Wittmann Marcus A. S. , Schaan Eduardo Santos
Published: December 2021

Este trabalho analisa a construção da autoria na obra A queda do céu: palavras de um xamã yanomami, de Davi Kopenawa e Bruce Albert, na perspectiva das múltiplas agências, atores e vozes configuradoras do discurso, o qual varia entre autobiografia, discurso político, tratado cosmopolítico e crítica xamânica. Em um primeiro momento, o artigo discute brevemente a noção de autoria na tradição ocidental, marcada pela individualidade e pela propriedade; em seguida, demonstra como essa concepção é elidida em A queda do céu, que vincula a autoria à noção de “virar outro”, a partir do entrelaçamento de múltiplas vozes e imagens espirituais, resultando em uma polifonia da floresta.
JUDEUS DE TODOS OS TEMPOS OU AS AURÉLIAS, DE MARGUERITE DURAS
Authors: Bosi Isabela
Published: December 2021

Neste artigo, partimos de três textos homônimos de Marguerite Duras, intitulados Aurélia Steiner, de 1979, para refletir acerca dessa personagem múltipla que, para Duras, é como os judeus de todos os tempos. Aurélia pertence a lugares e tempos distintos, mas, em todos os textos, carrega uma memória fragmentada de um passado marcado pelo horror da Segunda Guerra. A partir de Gilles Deleuze, compreendemos essa escrita como um fragmento anônimo infinito em que Duras assume uma ruptura radical com a representação do horror pelo horror, propondo outros modos de narrar e de pensar sobre a guerra. Em diálogo com o pensamento de Deleuze e de Silvina Rodrigues Lopes, nosso objetivo é pensar acerca da multiplicidade de tempos e de sujeitos nos três Aurélia Steiner.
O ESCRITOR, O ANTROPÓLOGO E O SOBRINHO DA ONÇA
Authors: Checchia Cristiane
Published: December 2021

O escritor argentino Juan José Saer (1937-2005) desenvolveu em alguns de seus ensaios críticos a ideia de que a Literatura seria uma antropologia especulativa. Proponho neste artigo investigar essa imagem mais a fundo, entendendo-a de certo modo literalmente e deixando os termos do campo discursivo antropológico ressoarem sobre a poética saeriana, tanto em seu entendimento sobre a linguagem como em algumas das imagens trabalhadas em sua ficção. Desenvolvo ainda essa leitura experimentando a sobreposição de olhares de uma antropologia que se nutre da literatura e de uma literatura que se vê como antropologia, por meio do cruzamento dos textos do escritor, Saer, e do antropólogo, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, na condição de leitores de um mesmo conto de Guimarães Rosa.
CORPO, IMAGEM, CONCEITO: MAIS DE UM LIMIAR
Authors: Philipson Gabriel Salvi , Lucas Fábio Roberto
Published: December 2021

Partindo de um diagnóstico a respeito da crise da instituição filosófica em sua relação com a literatura, tal como ela se apresenta especificamente na experiência brasileira, em especial paulistana, propomos repensar o agenciamento da enunciação literária em seus elos e atritos com a filosofia, tentando abordar mais de perto a historicidade dos nexos entre corpo, imagem e conceito. Para tanto, a inscrição do corpo heterotópico e cinemático num poema de Herberto Helder abriria uma via de diálogo com a reflexão de Marco Antônio Valentim sobre o “conceito de conceito” indígena-kopenawano utupë. A partir desse diálogo, procuramos, ao final, retirar algumas contribuições para compreender a atual crise da democracia e do papel de mediação do espaço público, cuja formulação moderna estava calcada, precisamente, na distinção, agora em crise, entre filosofia e literatura, entre linguagens de argumentação intramundana e linguagens de abertura de mundo.

Background: Malnutrition (under and overnutrition) occurs in children
with solid tumors and has been linked with adverse outcomes during and
after treatment. Assessment of nutritional status (NS) can be
challenging due to large tumor burdens, atypical growth patterns and
different methods for assessing NS. Methods: Retrospective longitudinal
study of children with solid tumors (n=61). Anthropometric data assessed
[(diagnosis, after diagnosis (1.5, 3, 6 and 12 months, 5 years), end
of treatment (EOT), initial cancer survivorship program (CSP) visit].
Registered dietitian nutritionist nutritional assessment (NA) during
treatment and Intensity of Treatment Rating (ITR) documented. Results:
At diagnosis, prevalence of undernutrition [(Z-score -1.0 to -2.99)]
and overnutrition (Z-score ≥ +2.0) were 13.8% and 8.6%, respectively;
weight status categories, 8.6%, 6.9%/13.8% were underweight,
overweight/obese, respectively. Weight loss and decreased weight-for-age
Z-score (WAZ) occurred in 31.9% and 74.5% patients, respectively, at
1.5 months. At EOT, compared to diagnosis, WAZ and height-for-age
Z-score (HAZ) decreased and BMIZ increased. From EOT to CSP visit,
overweight/obesity doubled, 7.7%/5.8% and 15.2/11.9%, respectively.
Thirty-one percent of patients received a NA, occurring at lowest WAZ.
Over 50% had ITR of level 3 or 4 and 88.9% had NA in level 4.
Conclusions: Suboptimal NS continues at diagnosis, during treatment and
survivorship. Normalized measures, accounting for expected growth,
should be used instead of raw numbers. More than one nutrition indicator
will identify atypical growth patterns and a proactive approach would
help prevent malnutrition. Evidence based research is essential and
collaboration necessary to meet the needs of this population.
Inverse problem of determining the coefficient and kernel in an integro - differential equation of parabolic type
Authors: Zhumaev Zhonibek , Durdiev Durdimurod
Published: December 2021

This article is concerned with the study of the unique solvability of
inverse boundary value problem for integro-differential heat equation.
To study the solvability of the inverse problem, we first reduce the
considered problem to an auxiliary system with trivial data and prove
its equivalence (in a certain sense) to the original problem. Then using
the Banach fixed point principle, the existence and uniqueness of a
solution to this system is shown.
Retrieval of the piecewise-constant mass density in the Bergman wave equation
Authors: wirgin armand
Published: December 2021

This investigation is concerned with the 2D acoustic scattering problem
of a plane wave propagating in a non-lossy, isotropic, homogeneous ﬂuid
host and soliciting a linear, isotropic, macroscopically-homogeneous,
generally-lossy, ﬂat-plane layer in which the mass density and wavespeed
are diﬀerent from those of the host. The focus is on the inverse problem
of the retrieval of the layer mass density. The data is the transmitted
pressure ﬁeld, obtained by simulation (resolution of the forward
problem) in exact, explicit form via the domain integral form of the
Bergman wave equation. This solution is exact and more explicit in terms
of the mass-density contrast (between the host and layer) than the
classical solution obtained by separation of variables. A perturbation
technique enables the solution (in its form obtained by the domain
integral method) to be cast as a series of powers of the mass density
contrast, the ﬁrst three terms of which are employed as the trial models
in the treatment of the inverse problem. The aptitude of these models to
retrieve the mass density contrast is demonstrated both theoretically
and numerically.
Transformation Rule-Based Molecular Evolution for Automatic Gasoline Molecule Design
Authors: Cai Guangqing , Liu zhefu , Zhang Linzhou
Published: December 2021

Automatic molecular design on computers is an emerging technology for
the determination of optimal fuel molecules. We developed a
computer-aided molecular design framework through a transformation
rule-based molecular evolution method. The reaction rule was used as the
elementary step to change the molecular structure. A molecule can
achieve structural variation continuously using a series of reaction
rules. The finding of the optimal molecule can be seen as the evolution
of structure in the chemical space, which was guided by using a global
optimization algorithm to select the best reaction routine. We showed
that the optimized molecule is independent of the input initial
structure, proving the robustness of the method. We then applied the
method to design gasoline molecules for motor and aviation gasoline. The
designed molecules can not only serve as competitive candidate
components for high-quality gasoline, but also accelerate the synthesis
rate of new molecules in the laboratory.

Published: December 2021

We study a class of initial value problems subject to nonlinear partial differential equations of hyperbolic type. A new topological approach is applied to prove the existence of nontrivial nonnegative solutions. More precisely, we propose a new integral representation of the solutions for the considered initial value problems and using this integral representation we establish existence of classical solutions for the considered classes of nonlinear wave equations.
