Does the Workload Change When Using an Impact Wrench in Different Postures?—A Counter-Balanced Trial
Authors: Raffler Nastaran , Wilzopolski Thomas , Freitag Christian , Ochsmann Elke
Published: May 2024

Awkward hand-arm posture and overhead work increase the risk of musculoskeletal symptoms. These adverse health effects can also be caused by additional workloads such as hand-arm vibration exposure while carrying or holding a power tool. This pilot trial investigated posture and muscle activity of 11 subjects while using an impact wrench for three working directions: upwards, forwards and downwards. Although the vibration exposure did not show notable differences in the magnitude (4.8 m/s2 upwards, 4.4 m/s2 forwards and 4.7 m/s2 downwards), postural behavior and the muscle activity showed significantly higher workloads for working upwards compared to forwards direction. The muscle activity results for working downwards also showed elevated levels of muscle activity due to the awkward wrist posture. The results demonstrate that not only the working direction but also more importantly the arm, wrist and head posture need to be considered while investigating hand-arm vibration exposure.

Addressing hidden tensions and grey areas of general practice: a qualitative study of the experiences of newly qualified GPs attending a course on generalist medicine
Authors: Dell’Olio Myriam , Reeve Joanne
Published: May 2024

Background

Generalist approaches can help address several challenges facing today’s primary care. However, GPs report insufficient support to deliver advanced generalist medicine (AGM) in daily practice, struggling within a healthcare system that imposes strict adherence to single-disease focused guidelines.

Aim

To examine the professional and educational experiences of newly qualified GPs attending a course on AGM to understand how to redesign primary care systems to support their generalist work.

Design and setting

This was a qualitative study focusing on AGM in UK general practice (England), conducted in the context of the research evaluation of an online career development programme on AGM.

Method

We conducted 36 interviews and six focus groups with newly qualified GPs attending an online career development programme on AGM, and analysed data using framework analysis.

Results

Three tensions experienced by the participants were identified: tension between realistic and idealistic practice; tension between different decision-making paradigms; and tension in the formation of the GPs’ professional identities. These were owing to grey areas of practice deeply rooted in primary care systems — namely areas of work not adequately addressed by current education and service design.

Conclusion

Our findings have implications for tackling the general practice workforce crisis, highlighting that solutions targeting individual problems will not suffice by themselves. By making visible the grey areas of everyday general practice, we describe the changes needed to target tensions as described by the GPs in this study to ultimately enable, enhance and make visible the complex work of generalist medicine.
PROJETOS POLÍTICO-PEDAGÓGICOS EM DISPUTA: influências entre o público e o privado
Authors: Plaze Laís Lorenzeto , Jacomini Márcia Aparecida
Published: May 2024

Historicamente, projetos político-pedagógicos foram disseminados no Brasil como documentos padronizados e estruturados de forma centralizada para planejar a educação. Nos últimos anos, os projetos educacionais tem recebido maior reconhecimento por parte de diferentes sujeitos por se revelarem como importantes instrumentos de execução de políticas públicas. Desta forma, os projetos político-pedagógicos têm ocupado lugar central nos debates sobre os possíveis caminhos para fazer educação. O presente artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão, com base na literatura, sobre o confronto de interesses entre as esferas pública e privada a partir da perspectiva de projetos político-pedagógicos. Esta discussão busca articular contribuições de alguns autores que analisaram o processo de homogeneização e padronização de propostas pedagógicas, bem como a importância que os recursos financeiros possuem na consolidação de narrativas educacionais. Desse modo, a presente discussão contribui para a compreensão das contradições em torno dos mecanismos e estratégias presentes dentro e fora das escolas brasileiras.

A TRANSMUTED SURVIVAL EXPONENTIAL-RAYLEIGH DISTRIBUTION (TSERD): PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS
Authors: Fadel Esraa Falih
Published: May 2024

Objectives: To introduce a new four-parameter lifetime distribution that will be more flexible in modelling real lifetime data over the existing common lifetime distributions. Methods: The new Three-parameter lifetime distribution is generated by using the A Transmuted Survival. In this method, the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of ExponentialRayleigh distribution are used as a base distribution for Transmuted Survival ExponentialRayleigh "Distribution. The probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the Exponential-Rayleigh distribution are substituted in the Transmuted Survival model to get the new and more flexible lifetime distribution for modelling real-life data. Findings: The authors reveal that the hazard rate of the A Transmuted Survival Exponential-Rayleigh Distribution is increasing. They also found that the Transmuted Survival Exponential-Rayleigh Distribution (TSER) gives a much close fit than the Two-parameter Exponential-Rayleigh "distribution (ERD), three-parameter Lindely distribution(LTD), Exponential distribution(EXP) and Weibull distribution (WD). Novelty : In this study, a novel probability distribution is introduced. Transmuted Survival Exponential-Rayleigh Distribution is capable of modelling upside-down bathtub shaped hazard rates. The model is appropriate to fit the asymmetrical data that are not correctly fitted by other distributions. The said distribution can be applied to different fields like insurance, earthquake data for analysis, reliability etc".

Bacillus cereus: estudios in vitro de factores de virulencia relevantes en el contexto de infecciones intestinales
Authors:   , Minnaard Jessica
Published: May 2024

En el contexto de las toxoinfecciones intestinales, Bacillus cereus está asociado a dos síndromes principales: emético y diarreico, que por su corta duración, en general, transcurren sin que el individuo afectado concurra a centros asistenciales. Pero estos cuadros clínicos pueden adquirir relevancia si ocurren en individuos de corta edad o en ancianos. La virulencia de Bacillus cereus ha sido atribuida tradicionalmente a varios factores extracelulares y se ha sugerido la participación de fenómenos de adhesión a las células de epitelio intestinal, pero numerosos detalles de las interacciones relevantes quedan por definir. En el presente trabajo de tesis se efectúa un recorrido por diversos aspectos de la interacción entre Bacillus cereus y el epitelio intestinal a través de la utilización de un sistema modelo constituido por enterocitos humanos en cultivo (línea Caco-2). Las cepas utilizadas incluyen microorganismos aislados de leche maternizada, leche en polvo, cepas de referencia y cepas aisladas de diferentes brotes. El estudio consta de tres partes fundamentales: 1 - Estudio de los factores extracelulares de Bacillus cereus 2- Estudio de infección de células epiteliales en cultivo por Bacillus cereus 3- Análisis multi variado de factores de virulencia Se determina la acción de sobrenadantes de cultivos sobre los enterocitos a través de estudios morfológicos y de actividad deshidrogenasa mitocondrial. Posteriormente, en los estudios de adhesión/invasión, se abordan aspectos relacionados con la interacción directa bacteria-enterocito y se realiza un análisis crítico de la determinación de la capacidad de invasión de Bacillus cereus. A través de la utilización de inhibidores de diferentes vías de señalización, se realiza una disección de las señales desencadenadas por la infección. Finalmente, mediante un análisis multivariado, se realiza un agrupamiento de cepas teniendo en cuenta la presencia de secuencias relacionadas con los factores extracelulares conocidos hasta el momento y la actividad biológica de las cepas estudiadas. Los resultados contenidos en el presente trabajo constituyen un avance en el conocimiento sobre los mecanismos de patogénesis de Bacillus cereus y plantean interrogantes que dan lugar a diversas perspectivas para el estudio de este microorganismo.
Definición ontológica de los componentes ‘peirceanos’ en el signo del silencio acústico. Rasgos, singularidades y reflexiones abiertas
Authors: Torras i Segura Daniel
Published: May 2024

El presente artículo plantea una definición genérica y formal de los tres componentes básicos de la estructura sígnica elaborada por Charles S. Peirce aplicados al silencio en su concepción como signo. En el silencio acústico, interpretado como signo, el representamen es la configuración específica de las ondas sonoras, la cual está anclada en el aquí y ahora. El fundamento es la variación o contraste. La ambigüedad o polisemia del silencio la encontramos entonces en el objeto representado y, por lo tanto, también en su interpretante vinculado. El objeto inmediato puede remitir al descenso de decibelios que incorpora el representamen y el interpretante inmediato la idea o detección de esa reducción. El objeto mediato y el interpretante final sólo se puede analizar en cada caso específico de semiosis.
Dialogos y narrativas visuales en torno al Mediterráneo: El lenguaje fotográfico, entre el documentalismo y el arte
Authors: de Aguirre Elizabeth Martínez
Published: May 2024

El potente archivo fotográfico de la agencia EFE que acompañó la edición 2010 del World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies (WOCMES) exhibió, entre otras, la virtud performativa de designar en imágenes los alcances de un hipotético diccionario etimológico de las situaciones y conflictos del Mediterráneo a lo largo del siglo XX. Diez años después, la inauguración del Museo de la fotografía de Rabat, viene a confirmar esta capacidad del lenguaje fotográfico que se manifestará, también, en la oscilación pendular entre el documentalismo y el arte. Y es en el diálogo entre ambos conjuntos de imágenes donde confirmaremos este desplazamiento: la fotografía documental clásica, que ha estado históricamente normatizada por una estética del registro, proyecta su influencia en aquellas formas artísticas contemporáneas de “lo fotográfico” que registran, desde nuevas narrativas visuales, las incógnitas y los laberintos de los “actos de ver” situados en este milenio.

Published: May 2024

Lipid domains play a critical role in signal transduction and transport across cell membranes. The formation of domains in “HLC” ternary lipid bilayers composed of high transition temperature (high-Tm) lipids, low-Tm lipids, and cholesterol (Chol) has been extensively studied as a raft-like system. Recently, experiments were performed to control the formation of submicron domains in LLC lipid bilayers containing low-Tm phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), low-Tm phosphatidylcholine (PC), and Chol by manipulating the presence or absence of Chol. The formation of microdomains in this LLC mixture was replicated by dissipative particle dynamics simulation. The results show that domain formation can be replicated.

Kedisiplinan siswa menjadi peran penting terhadap keberlangsungan dan keberhasilan pelaksanaan pembelajaran. Kedisiplinan merupakan salahsatu kunci seseorang untuk dapat melaksanakan pekerjaannya dengan baik dan tepat waktu. Disiplin menjadi salahsatu karakter yang perlu ditanamkan sejak dini di kalangan siswa sekolah. Hal ini dikarenakan siswa yang sekaligus berperan sebagai anak di rumah, dikelilingi dengan adanya aturan yang harus mereka patuhi. Tujuan penanaman disiplin ini adalah untuk melatih kepatuhan dan ketaatan terhadap aturan yang berlaku. Tidak sebatas itu, dengan disiplin juga dapat mengontrol tindakan dan perbuatan yang harus dilakukan dan tidak boleh dilakukan, termasuk berhubungan dengan ketepatan waktu dalam datang ke sekolah dan menyelesaikan tugas. Di SMA Ma’arif Sukorejo dengan latar belakang pendidikan agama masih kerap siswa melakukan problematika kedisiplinan. Program pendampingan penanganan kedisiplinan siswa melalui pengadaan shalat dhuha dilakukan melalui beberapa tahapan yaitu persiapan, pelaksanaan program, dan evaluasi program. Sasaran program ini adalah seluruh siswa dan siswi SMA Ma’arif Sukorejo. Metode yang digunakan adalah observasi dan wawancara, penanganan dan pendampingan secara langsung, dokumentasi. Hasil dari pelaksanaan program pendampingan ini adalah 1) pelaksanaan shalat dhuha berjamaah sebelum pembelajaran berlangsung, 2) berkurangnya angka siswa yang melakukan problematika kedisiplinan seperti datang terlambat, merokok dan gaduh di dalam kelas, 3) meningkatnya karakter religious siswa.

This research is entitled Youtuber's Strategy in Determining Opinion Leader in Covid-19 Pandemic Video Content. This study at to determine: (1) What was the YouTuber video content program during the Covid-19 pandemic? (2) What was the YouTuber strategy in determining opinion leader?
This research method used a descriptive qualitative approach. The data were obtained using a list of questions given to the informants. Then, the data were analyzed and reviewed. After that, an abstract was made of all the results of the interview. The number of informants was three people with different opinion leader, including whether hidden or unhidden. The selection of informants in this qualitative study used purposive sampling technique, which was a method of deliberately determining informants based on certain criteria or certain considerations. In this study, the selection of informants was based on criteria, including: number of subscribers, uploading videos during the Covid-19 pandemic, and having opinion leader. Data analysis was by using thematic data, which the findings were processed based on themes in accordance with the framework.
The results of this study indicated that YouTubers had various programs such as music, vlogs, podcasts, and tutorials. This depends on the needs and passion of the YouTubers. It also showed that the YouTuber's strategy in determining opinion leader had two flow schemes. First, the YouTuber first identified the content idea to be made, then found an opinion leader by paying attention to the opinion leader criteria, such as sources of attraction and sources of trust. Second, YouTubers determined opinion leader before content was created. Information exposure obtained from opinion leader would be a reference material for the emergence of content ideas. In addition, YouTubers also paid attention to the requirements of opinion leaders such as social perception, ability in abstract thinking, emotional stability, public speaking and action.
THE MESSAGE OF DAKWAH IN THE CULTURE OF IMPLEMENTATION OF AKIKAH IN LEPPANGANG, PINRANG REGENCY (SEMIOTICS ANALYSIS)
Authors: Sulaiman Sulaiha
Published: May 2024

This thesis discusses about cultural da'wah messages in the implementation of akikah in Leppangang, Pinrang Regency which combines sharia and culture by using semiotic analysis. This study aims to reveal the meaning of denotation and connotation in the implementation of akikah in Leppangang, Pinrang Regency. As well as knowing the meaning of cultural da'wah messages in the implementation of akikah in Leppangang, Pinrang Regency.
This research is a qualitative research using a cultural da'wah review with semiotic analysis. The research approach used is more emphasis on theological and phenomenological. The sources of data for this research are traditional leaders, community, religious leaders, and the government. Data collection methods used in this study were observation, interviews, and documentation. The data processing technique used is the inductive method.
The results of this study are reveal the meaning of denotation and connotation. So that in every tradition of carrying out aqikah in Leppangang, a concept is born of an embodiment or appearance of a sacred tradition and mythical thoughts emerge about what is believed and ultimately do not match what has been thought so far. In addition, it classifies three processes, namely: 1) The implementation of aqikah according to Islamic law, including: slaughtering aqikah animals, shaving the baby's hair, and giving names that contain da'wah messages in the form of worship, shari'a and morals 2) The process of Islamization in the implementation of akikah, includes: Reading barzanji ,Massorong reinforcements, and dio ute blood, 3) Traditions in the implementation of aqikah, include: serving reinforcements, carrying babies around the house, eating offerings, and mappenre tojang. The two processes that do not include the implementation of aqikah according to Islamic law contain a cultural meaning, namely the meaning of tafa'ul which is a prayer and good hope for the life of the child from the implementation of akikah.

The Aplication of Blended Learning to Overcome Students Learning Saturation in Arabic Learning Class XI MAN 2 Parepare
Authors: Hamsiah Hamsiah , Saepudin  , Darmawati
Published: May 2024

This study analyzes the "Application of Blended Learning to Overcome Student Saturation in Learning Arabic Class XI MAN 2 Parepare". Aims to find out the saturation of learning caused by learning Arabic that is not optimal. Blended learning combines face-to-face and online meeting learning to be an alternative to learning.
This study uses a qualitative research method that is descriptive in nature, namely to provide an overview of the situation factually, and systematically, by collecting data, and facts about learning saturation in learning Arabic at MAN 2 Parepare.
The combination of online and offline learning can produce effective and efficient learning. Effectively, blended learning is a balanced concept between increasing insight and knowledge online and increasing skills offline, while attitudes can be obtained from online and offline learning. Efficiently, students can arrange teaching materials in the form of multimedia with a wider and varied range of materials and students can easily access online materials wherever and whenever according to their needs and time availability.
The application of Blended learning at MAN 2 Parepare is carried out using the SIATI MADDUPA application. The effect of using this application, in general, is that students can access all the needs of a series of students in this one application only by having a student card that has been equipped with a barcode. With this student card, students can take attendance independently and have their attendance recorded in real-time, can access library books, and can access the school's internet for free with a barcode scan. This application has just been launched, with various features in this application that can be utilized by all school stakeholders. Even so, the use of this application is not maximized because it is still being developed so that it can be optimal in its use.
The implications of the whole series with various research objects based on facts, as well as various sources from all school stakeholders are very helpful in the process of writing this scientific paper.
AI-Based Assessment of Power System Resilience under Climate Change-Induced Extreme Weather Events
Authors: Pizzimbone Luca
Published: May 2024

Power system resilience analysis methods aim to assess the ability of a
power system to withstand and recover from high-impact, low-probability
events, such as natural disasters. These methods often entail performing
AC Optimal Power Flows (OPF) using nonlinear optimization algorithms for
numerous sequential Monte Carlo (MC) iterations, which require high
computational resources. This may restrict the number of feasible
simulations, with the risk of reducing the reliability on the analysis
outcomes and limiting the scope of the resilience assessment. This paper
introduces the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the
computational performance of power system resilience analysis. The paper
proposes to use artificial neural networks (ANN) as a surrogate model to
approximate the OPF solution for different scenarios and contingencies.
The case study demonstrates that ANN provide an interesting solution,
reducing the computational burden to a fraction of a classical OPF
approaches, while keeping remarkable accuracy in the estimation of
resiliency KPIs, such as energy not served (ENS) and survivability. A
case study of resiliency analysis with ANN application is presented. The
analysis is conducted with reXplan, a novel tool for climate power
system resilience analysis, and an ANN built on Pytorch framework.
SimBench, an open dataset for network analysis, provides the grid data,
generation, and demand profiles. A comparison of the KPIs calculated
with ANN and simulated results with OPF is provided, showing the
effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.
FLeS: A Federated Learning-Enhanced Semantic Communication Framework for Mobile AIGC-Driven Human Digital Twins
Authors: Okegbile Samuel , Gao Haoran , Talabi Oluwasegun , Cai Jun , Yi Changyan , Niyato Dusit , Shen Xuemin (Sherman)
Published: May 2024

Mobile artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) is an innovative
technology that can support the evolution and updating processes of
virtual twins (VTs) in human digital twin (HDT) systems. With a reliable
and efficient automatic information generation process, the requirement
for a timely physical-to-virtual synchronization in HDT can be
satisfied. While such an AIGC-enabled HDT system can facilitate
modelling high fidelity VTs, generating rare disease data and providing
timely customized services, it may suffer from poor understanding of
contexts, lack of creativity, and various security and privacy concerns.
In this paper, we propose a new framework, which integrates federated
learning (FL) and semantic communication (SemCom) to enhance performance
in such a system while improving accuracy and convergence properties.
Such an integrated FL-enhanced SemCom (FLeS) solution, however, comes
with its own challenges. First, we present a holistic architectural
framework for the proposed FLeS paradigm for mobile AIGC-enabled HDT
systems and discuss the associated design requirements and challenges.
We later present some key technologies necessary to realize such a
solution before elaborating on some technical issues to suggest future

Phase error scaling law in two-wavelength adaptive optics
Authors: Hyde Milo , Kalensky Matthew , Spencer Mark F
Published: May 2024

We derive a simple, physical, closed-form expression for the
optical-path difference (OPD) of a two-wavelength adaptive-optics (AO)
system. Starting from Hogge and Butts’ classic OPD variance integral
expression [J. Opt. Soc. Am. 72, 606 (1982)], we apply Mellin
transform techniques to obtain series and asymptotic solutions to the
integral. For realistic two-wavelength AO systems, the former converges
slowly and has limited utility. The latter, on the other hand, is a
simple formula in terms of the separation between the AO sensing (i.e.,
the beacon) and compensation (or observation) wavelengths. We validate
this formula by comparing it to the OPD variances obtained from the
aforementioned series and direct numerical evaluation of Hogge and
Butts’ integral. Our simple asymptotic expression is shown to be in
excellent agreement with these exact solutions. The work presented in
this paper will be useful in the design and characterization of
two-wavelength AO systems.
Uplink and Downlink Capacity Maximization of a P2P DMA-Based Communication System
Authors: Kimaryo Seraphin , Lee Kyungchun
Published: May 2024

Dynamic metasurface antennas (DMAs) is a new antenna technology
comprising multiple microstrips, each encompassing several
reconfigurable metamaterial elements acting as radiating and receiving
antennas. The whole unit is usually connected via the input/output port
of each microstrip to the radio frequency (RF) chains of the baseband
unit. Point-to-point (P2P) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system
is one of the most prominent wireless communication systems, with its
use cases recently increasing with the booming of machine-to-machine
communication. However, it is yet to be explored with DMAs. This work
thus studies the achievable rate maximization of a DMA-based P2P MIMO
system whose transmitter or receiver is equipped with DMA instead of
traditional antennas. Noteworthy, this is the first work to analyze the
deployment where both the BS and the user are equipped with DMA.
Additionally, we numerically demonstrate how uplink and downlink
communication can be achieved in each DMA deployment strategy. Finally,
through the simulation results, the performance of our proposed designs
is compared with various benchmark systems, such as conventional P2P and
IRS-aided MIMO systems, where in both cases, it is shown that the
proposed designs provide the best tradeoff in achieving high performance
with significant RF chains reduction.

Sleep stage classification is pivotal for assessing sleep quality and
diagnosing sleep disorders. While deep learning has shown promise in
automating sleep stage classification, the dynamic nature of sleep
research and data collection processes presents unique challenges. These
include class-incremental learning, where models must adapt to newly
emerging sleep patterns, and domain-incremental learning, necessitating
generalization across diverse data collection conditions or varying EEG
equipment. Moreover, the unavailability of old datasets, particularly
between different institutions, and the lack of annotations in
historical data hinder the effective training and adaptability of deep
learning models. This study introduces a Dual-Incremental Learning
Framework, amalgamating unsupervised domain adaptation, hierarchy-aware
feature learning, and diffusion probabilistic model-based generative
replay design to improve the generalizability of sleep stage
classification models and enhance the re-analysis of historical data
with updated classification schemes. We establish two benchmarks using
two publicly available datasets to elucidate the challenges posed by
evolving sleep datasets. The effectiveness and performance of the
proposed framework are evaluated against the established benchmarks,
showcasing enhanced generalizability and the potential for unearthing
deeper insights from historical patient data. This framework also
demonstrates compatibility with existing deep learning models, promoting
a versatile solution for advancing sleep stage classification. To the
best of our knowledge, this study is the first to address class and
domain-incremental learning challenges in sleep stage classification,
laying a solid foundation for future research in this domain.
Additionally, the proposed Dual-Incremental Learning Framework holds
potential for a wide range of healthcare applications.

Published: May 2024

Background: Sleep is crucial for overall health and well-being.
Analyzing sleep stages and sleep fragmentation can enhance our
understanding of sleep quality and help protect individuals’ sleep
health. The objective of this study is to explore the development and
application of a multitask deep learning model that can simultaneously
detect sleep arousal and score sleep stages.

Methods: We employed a task-incremental learning approach to develop the
multi-task deep learning model. For development and testing, 1069
polysomnography records were incorporated. Additionally, the model’s
fairness was assessed across various subgroups, including sex, age, and
ethnicity. Beyond performance evaluation, we investigated the
intermediate features extracted by the model from the raw ECG signal.

Results: The multi-task deep learning model achieved a Cohen’s 𝜅 of 0.68
for sleep stage prediction and an area under the receiver operating
characteristic (AUROC) of 0.94 for arousal detection. Additionally, the
model showed consistent performance across different subgroups. The
analysis of the interpretability of the intermediate features validated
their applicability and adaptability to related tasks in sleep analysis.

Conclusion: This study demonstrated the capacity of the multi-task deep
learning model to score sleep stages and arousal simultaneously with
substantial precision using a single-lead ECG. This research offers a
promising avenue for advancing incremental learning and multitask deep
learning models in sleep analysis.

The discovery of computers had an impact on the field of education. Some of these impacts are positive or beneficial, but there are also negative or detrimental ones. In the field of education, computers are used as a learning tool. This means that computers are used to help teachers and students in the learning process. For example, computers are used to do assignments, type assignments, search for learning materials on the internet, and so on. Apart from that, another impact of computers in the field of education is the ease of the teaching and learning process. The existence of computers makes it easier for teachers to explain material, for example through multimedia, such as animation, video, and others. The aim of this community service activity is to introduce the basics of computers for elementary and middle school levels in an effort to improve the quality of computer learning. All activities carried out have been adapted to the needs of the community, both from village heads and hamlet heads, even those who receive the learning, namely elementary and middle school children in Pandan Wangi Village, Jerowaru District, East Lombok Regency.
