Authors: Chumakova Ekaterina , Korneev Dmitry , Gasparian Mikhail , Titov Valery , Makhov Ilia 
Published: December 2024

Objective: The goal of the study is to create ANN models based on RBFNs and to evaluate their efficiency compared to the traditionally used feedforward deep neural networks (DNNs). The research considers the primary types of operational IT risk events related to disruptions and failures of systems and equipment that ensure business operations.

Method: A Gaussian function was used as the transformation function to build different RBFN models. The learning curves of the considered functions are provided to demonstrate the results of training and testing of the constructed RBFNs.

Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that RBFNs can achieve an accuracy of up to 98%, making them comparable to multi-layer perceptrons but with fewer hidden layers and faster training times. The model performed well in determining the criticality of IT risk events, offering both transparency and practicality for implementation in the banking sector.

Research Implication: The obtained findings show that the use of RBFNs in the indication system will provide a high-quality determination of the degree of impact of operational IT risks on the banking sector.

Published: December 2024

Objective: The study aimed to investigate how video games, as a digital and cultural medium, can be utilized to foster and promote youth activism.

Method: The study explored "digital freedom" and its impact on youth activism in gaming. It used a keyword-based search in three databases (Google Scholar, PhilPapers, ScienceDirect) to identify relevant sources. The focus was on finding works related to "freedom" and "game space" in philosophical and social contexts.

Results and Discussion: The study highlighted that gaming freedom involves the player’s control over immersion, drawing behavior from real life, and engaging in virtual life situations that develop personal responsibility. Games provided an opportunity to experience scenarios that enhance decision-making skills without real-life consequences.

Conclusions: Video games offer valuable platforms for experiencing life-like situations and cultivating skills such as strategic thinking and responsibility. While there are concerns about gaming addiction, games can positively contribute to social and personal development when used effectively.

Authors: Sabgayda T. P. , Zubko A. V. , Feiginova S. I. 
Published: December 2024

Background. Avoidable mortality serves as an integral indicator of healthcare system performance. The living conditions of Muscovites and the developments in Moscow healthcare have determined the highest life expectancy rates for the population of Moscow. However, the availability and quality of medical care as well as the prevalence of behavioral risk factors vary within the metropolis. Therefore, it is of great practical value to consider an uneven spatial distribution of avoidable mortality in order to implement corrective management actions.Objective. To analyze the avoidable mortality of the population of Moscow by administrative okrugs and municipalities in 2023.Materials and methods. The calculations were based on the list of avoidable causes of death from the "European Community Atlas of ‘Avoidable Death’" (the edition of 1997) for the age range 0-65 years. Data on mid-year population and number of deaths by municipality in 2023 were taken from the Moscow regional database "Death Registration" (RFS EMIAS) and then used to analyze an uneven spatial distribution of avoidable mortality.Conclusions. There is a large reserve for reducing mortality not only by improving living conditions and strengthening adherence of the population to a healthy lifestyle, but also by improving availability and quality of medical care.

Published: December 2024

Objective: We examined the relation between several fibrotic markers reflecting liver parenchymal injury and conventional liver function or surgical outcomes in 67 patients with cholangiocarcinoma who underwent biliary drainage for obstructive jaundice followed by surgical resection.
Material and Methods: We examined conventional clinicopathological factors, six hepatic fibrosis parameters, including platelet count, hyaluronic acid, Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi), type IV collagen 7S, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), and FIB-4 index before hepatectomy, and surgical outcomes or long-term prognosis.
Results: Obstructive jaundice was observed in 57% of the patients, a history of biliary diseases in 7.5%, and chronic hepatic injuries in 17.9%. M2BPGi was significantly higher in patients with obstructive jaundice as the primary sign (p< 0.05), the FIB-4 index was significantly correlated with patient age (p< 0.01), and serum hyaluronic acid and T4C7 levels were significantly increased in distal cholangiocarcinoma (CC). No markers were associated with the histological hepatic fibrotic index, tumor-related factors, or postoperative morbidities. Tumor relapse was observed in 37% of patients, and cancer-related death was observed in 25%. A higher FIB-4 index was significantly associated with shorter cancer-free survival (p< 0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that bilirubin levels, poor histological cancer differentiation, and absence of fibrotic markers were associated with cancer-free, cancer-specific overall, and overall survival.
Conclusion: Although a sufficient relation exists between these markers and elastographic or histological fibrotic indexes, the clinical significance of measuring conventional fibrotic markers might no longer be necessary in future studies.
Correlation Between Hilal Age and Altitude at the Beginning of the Lunar Month (A Critique of the Calculation System in Fath ar-Rauf al-Mannan)
Authors: Rahma  , M. Ihtirozun Ni'am  
Published: December 2024

The hilal altitude formulation in the book Fath ar-Rauf al-Mannan is 0.5 of its age value. However, in the practice of modern theory, the calculation of hilal altitude is not that simple but uses a complex formulation of spherical trigonometry. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research related to the correlation of hilal age and altitude at the beginning of the lunar month to determine the relationship between the two variables as a criticism of the Fath ar-Rauf al-Mannan hilal altitude formulation. The approach used is quantitative with the type of library research. This research uses data on the new moon at the beginning of the lunar month in 1444 H for twelve months (coordinates 6°59'30" N and 110°20'53" E). The hilal age (x variable) and altitude (y variable) were analyzed using simple regression resulting in a correlation equation y = 0.444103449 x – 0.34109308. The result shows that the hilal altitude formulation in the book Fath ar-Rauf al-Mannan is not representative enough, so it has the potential to cause errors in predicting the hilal position.

Effectiveness of Sanitization Assessment by ATP Bioluminescence Detection System as a Complementary Method in Vivarium: A five-year status report
Authors: Devan R K Shakthi , Banu Mudaseera , Mallikarjuna Yogisha , P Shonima 
Published: December 2024

Sanitization is an important activity performed in the laboratory animal facilities and periodical assessment of sanitization provides confidence in surface cleanliness as well as health status of animals in the vivarium. The primary objective was to evaluate routine disinfection and/or sanitization practices upon verifying the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence method, which further expressed as relative light units (RLU), a relatively easy and rapid method to interpret results within a minute after the swab sampling performed on any surface. A five-year data compilation showed that RLU values were within the in-house acceptable limits of animal rooms sampled from racks, isolators, doors, trolleys, cage changing stations, tables, walls and cage accessories. However, some of the materials such as racks and trolleys of high-traffic areas showed a significant increase in RLU values due to organic matters that might be present on the equipment surfaces but recorded values were well within the limits set by the facility. Additionally, contact plates were also used as confirmatory method to evaluate microbial monitoring in animal rooms including cage accessories and further historical values of RLU provided confidence to increase monthly contact plate sampling interval to a quarterly basis and followed as per the schedule. Moreover, representative samples from incoming animals were screened by microbial monitoring at regular intervals during the quarantine period and active sentinel samples also screened for serology or PCR as part of comprehensive health monitoring program. In conclusion, ATP method can be used to assess the real-time effectiveness of sanitization practices in vivarium as it provides immediate feedback to animal care personnel that enables corrective actions; hence the ATP bioluminescence is continued as one of the complementary methods at our laboratory animal facility.

Published: December 2024

The establishments registered with the Committee for Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CCSEA), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) certified, and AAALACInternational accredited were obtained from online sources. The spatial distribution map of the establishments was prepared by collecting latitude and longitude using Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) version 3.4 Madeira, an open-source software. The establishments registered with CCSEA, GLP certified, and AAALAC accredited in India were 1583, 52, and 28, respectively and the period was confined to 1999 to 2023. Based on the organization nature, more private establishments were registered with CCSEA [1132], GLP [48], and AAALAC International [28] than Government establishments. The type of animals used for animal experiments by the establishments revealed that the small animals were in CCSEA [91.5%], GLP [68%], and AAALAC International [71%] compared to large animals. Based on the breeding purpose, establishments carrying in-house breeding were in CCSEA [79%], GLP [71%], and AAALAC International [70%]. The purpose of registration showed a higher number of establishments with educational purposes for CCSEA, and contract establishments for GLP and AAALAC International. The state-wise analysis revealed a higher number of establishments registered with CCSEA, GLP certified, and AAALAC International accredited were in Maharashtra, Telangana, and Maharashtra, respectively. The goals of CCSEA, GLP, and AAALACInternational are to enhance the animal well-being and quality of animal experiments, improve laboratory animal facility standards, and enhance biological research on humans and animals. Further, there is a need for a good monitoring system for the establishments involved in animal experiments in India.

All religions are concerned with the care and welfare of animals, paying respect to the animals. Beliefs and attitudes towards animals that are based on religious and cultural perspectives play an important role in human-animal relationships. Christian attitudes have been impacted by Western philosophical consideration of human-animal relationships, whereas Eastern religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam) and their teachings impose varying values on the existence of animals. Even though their justifications affect the views of individuals and their feelings toward animal testing, scientists continue to employ animals in their research. Even though it is impossible to underestimate the worth of a life, this article describes the religious perspectives on animal existence and harming to animals.

El empleo de escenarios y narrativas contrafactuales es una de las herramientas más útiles para, a partir del análisis de complejas dinámicas territoriales, desvelar posibles futuros de nuestro hábitat. Para representarlas, este texto indaga en la necesidad de emplear formatos gráficos que combinen un análisis estratégico y cartográfico junto con un retrato detallado de todos aquellos componentes, humanos, naturales y tecnológicos, que lo habitan. El tableaux de guerre contiene muchas de las cualidades necesarias para construir las cosmografías que permitan comunicar narrativas en el seno de ecosistemas territoriales. El análisis de la transformación de este género pictórico a través de diversos ejemplos permite extraer numerosas herramientas gráficas y comunicativas que convergen con momentos clave de la modernidad arquitectónica. Iluminan aproximaciones conceptuales y modos de representación del conflicto territorial que adquieren una nueva relevancia en nuestros días.
Entre el paisaje, el arte y la arquitectura. RCR arquitectes y su relación con el Land Art
Authors: Hidalgo Núñez Francisco Antonio , Giménez Ribera Manuel , Sender Contell Marina , Hidalgo Núñez Álvaro 
Published: December 2024

A comienzos de la década de 1960, cuando el expresionismo abstracto dejó de ser la corriente dominante en las artes visuales estadounidenses, varios artistas, algunos bajo la etiqueta del “Land Art”, iniciaron una exploración diversa, compartiendo un enfoque unificador: la utilización del paisaje como escenario del arte. Un singular lienzo que interactúa con los elementos introducidos.
El trabajo de RCR arquitectes, en especial los proyectos desarrollados en la zona de la Garrotxa, consigue dotar al entorno de un papel protagonista en sus obras, buscando la interacción de los formalismos arquitectónicos con las distintas percepciones que ofrece la naturaleza, lo que queda evidenciado en la representación gráfica de sus planos y proyectos.
El presente artículo busca analizar la significativa función que el paisaje desempeña en las obras de RCR arquitectes, mostrando las conexiones y paralelismos existentes entre su obra y la corriente artística Land Art, mediante el análisis de algunas de sus obras más representativas.
