In order to prevent long term complications of diabetes its early diagnosis is crucial. With Increasing advances in Artifical Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning(ML) researchers are increasingly focusing on using them for early diagnosis of diseases.AI and ML has significant potential for early prediction of type 2 diabetes. In this article we have described a ML based framework for prediction of type 2 diabetes -Improved Ensemble Learning with Dimensionality Reduction Model (IELDR) and discussed its result. An IELDR algorithm is an Auto encoder-based feature extraction method with ensemble learning. The experiments were carried out using the LS_diabetes dataset. LS_diabetes dataset containing 374 records with 35 features related to lifestyle and stress. Accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity, f1 score, roc and Mathew correlation coefficient (MCC) were measured. After this results were tested and validated using Diabetes_2019 dataset and PIMA diabetes dataset. The IELDR model showed results in terms accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity, f1 score, roc and Mathew correlation coefficient (MCC) of 98.67%, 95.24%, 100%, 98.18%, 97.56%, 99.09% and 0.97 respectively. In comparison with PIMA diabetes dataset, LS_diabetes dataset showed an accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, f1-score,roc and mcc value by 17.96%,13.15% 40.22%,5.59%,28.38%,22.09% and 0.4 respectively. The IELDR model achieved the best result on the LS_diabetes dataset showed an accuracy, sensitivity, roc and mcc value improved by 1.82%, 1.58%, 3.01%and 0.04 % compared to the Diabetes_2019 dataset .This proposed IELDR system predicts the risk of type 2 diabetes in a healthy person based on the person’s current lifestyle pattern. This system can be helpful for early prediction of type2 diabetes.

Published: September 2024

لتشققات في الهياكل الخرسانية تحدث نتيجة عدة أسباب منها التحميل الزائد، الزحف تحت الحمل المستمر، الانكماش، أخطاء البناء، تآكل حديد التسليح، الاجهادات الناتجة من ارتفاع درجات الحرارة. كما تظهر أيضا نتيجة الاختلاف في معامل التمدد الحراري بين الخرسانة وقضبان الألياف الزجاجية (GFRP). حيث أن معامل التمدد العرضي لقضبان GFRP أكبر تقريبا 3 مرات من معامل تمدد الخرسانة. عند تعرض الخرسانة المسلحة بقضبان GFRP لدرجات حرارة مرتفعة ينتج عنها اجهادات حرارية حول قضبان GFRP مما يؤدي إلي حدوث تشققات تقلل من قوة الترابط بين الخرسانة و GFRP والمتانة للأعضاء الإنشائية. ولتقليل من التشققات الحرارية في الخرسانة المسلحة ولزيادة مقاومة الشد للخرسانة تستخدم ألياف حديدية بطول 3 إلي 8 سم موزعة توزيعا عشوائيا في جميع الاتجاهات خلال كتلة الخرسانة. في هذا البحث تم دراسة تأثير درجات الحرارة على خواص الخرسانة مع وبدون الألياف الحديدية وكذلك على قوة الترابط بين الخرسانة وقضبان الألياف الزجاجية (GFRP). تم تسخين النماذج في الفرن لدرجات حرارة (40, 80, 120 درجة مئوية). حيث تم دراسة مقاومة الانضغاط و الموجات فوق الصوتية والكثافة باستخدام مكعبات مقاس (100 مم) ، مقاومة الشد الانشطاري باستخدام اسطوانات مقاس (100*200 مم). تم ايضاً اجراء اختبار الدفع (Push out) للتحقق من قوة الترابط بين GFRP والخرسانة باستخدام مكعب خرساني مقاس (100 مم) مسلح بقضيب GFRP قطر 16 مم في وسط المكعب.
نتائج الاختبارات بينت تأثير درجات الحرارة علي خواص الخرسانة (مقاومة الانضغاط و مقاومة الشد) وقوة الترابط بين الخرسانة وقضيب GFRP مقارنة بالعينة المرجعية.

يعتبر قرار اختيار المقاول المناسب ذو أهمية كبيرة ومصدر قلق؛ لما له من تأثير مباشر على نجاح تنفيذ المشروع واستكماله بالشكل المطلوب. تكمن مشكلة الدراسة في قصور وعدم فعالية الأساليب التقليدية لاختيار المقاول، نظرا لاعتمادها على معيار التكلفة فقط أو الاعتماد على المعيار الفني والمالي وإهمال باقي المعايير والتي قد تكون لها أهمية كبيرة في عملية الاختيار. هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى بناء نموذج اختيار أفضل مقاول باستخدام أسلوب ترتيب الأفضلية عن طريق التشابه مع الحل المثالي Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) ودمجه مع المنطق الضبابي (FTOPSIS) Fuzzy logic، من خلال تطبيقه على حالة دراسية في الشركة الليبية للحديد والصلب LISCO، والمتمثلة في اختيار المقاول لمشروع إنشاء مبنى متكامل لإدارة الصيانة الميكانيكية بالشركة.
تم تحديد أهم المعايير الرئيسية لاختيار المقاول بالاستعانة بذوي العلاقة بمجال إدارة العطاءات داخل شركة LISCO؛ وشملت المعايير المختارة حسب الأهمية النسبية للمعيار كلاً من الخبرة، السمعة، القدرة المالية، ضمان الجودة، السعر، الفترة الزمنية. أستخدم أسلوب AHP لتحديد الأوزان للمعايير الرئيسية من خلال المقارنات الثنائية بين المعايير واستخدامها كمدخلات لأسلوب TOPSIS، وتم الاستعانة ببرنامج MatlabR2013a لحساب تناسق الأحكام والتفضيلات للخبراء، بعد ذلك تم بناء النماذج الخاصة بأسلوب TOPSIS وFTOPSIS؛ ومن ثم تحويل مصفوفات المقارنات الثنائية إلى الشكل الضبابي وتحديد الأوزان الضبابية للمعايير باستخدام الأرقام المثلثية الضبابية، واُسْتخدِم برنامج MatlabR2013a لتطبيق النماذج الرياضية لتحديد المقاول المناسب لتنفيذ المشروع في الحالة الدراسية. أظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن كلا الأسلوبيين TOPSIS و FTOPSIS تعطي مؤشر يمكن الاسترشاد به في اتخاذ القرار، وبالتالي فإن نتائج اختيار المقاول قد تختلف باختلاف المعايير المستخدمة في التقييم؛ التي تعتمد على التقديرات الشخصية للخبراء، في أسلوب FTOPSIS تحصل المقاول A على الترتيب الأول ويليه في الترتيب المقاول B، بينما في أسلوب TOPSIS تحصل المقاول D على الترتيب الأول ويليه في الترتيب المقاول A.

إن معظم مشاكل البرمجة الخطية الواقعية تحتوي قيم حلها (متغيراتها القرارية Decision Variables) على كسور (Non-integer)، وفي العديد من الحالات الاقتصادية والفيزيائية يكون هذا الأمر غير منطقي، فمثلاً غير مقبول أن يكون الحل هو إنتاج 5.67 طائرة، وتُعد طريقة التفريع والتحديد (Branch and Bound Method) من أهم الطرق المستخدمة في تحديد الحل الأمثل الصحيح (Integer). وتُعنى هذه الورقة بدراسة هذه الطريقة (B&B) وتحديداً دراسة الاختلاف القائم بين البُحاث والمؤلفين في عملية تفريع (تجزئة) المشكلة الرئيسية إلى مشاكل فرعية، وكيفية تحديد المتغير الذي تتم على أساسه عملية التفريع بهدف الوصول للحل الأمثل الصحيح (Integer)، فيرى بعض البحاث أن عملية التفريع تتم على أساس المتغير الذي يحتوي على الكسر الأكبر، والبعض الآخر منهم لا يرى فرقاً في استخدام أي من المتغيرات. والجدير بالذكر هنا هو أن كلا الفريقين لم يذكروا التحليلات المنطقية والأدلة التي تؤيد نظريتهم، وتهدف هذه الورقة لدراسة هذه المشكلة والغوص في آلية عمل هذه الطريقة (B&B) باتباع المنهج التحليلي في تجزئة المشكلة الرئيسية إلى مشاكل فرعية وتتبع مسارات التفريع باستخدام الطريقة البيانية. تبين بأنه يمكن الوصول للحل الأمثل الصحيح باختيار أي من المتغيرين، إلا أنه ليس بالضرورة الوصول للحل الأمثل بنفس عدد عمليات التفريع (المشاكل الفرعية)، فقد يختلف عدد عمليات التفريع باختلاف المتغير المستخدم في عملية التفريع، وتمكنا أيضاً من تقديم التحليلات المنطقية والأدلة التي تؤيد صحة هذه التحليلات.

Introdução: A TPPP (Tontura Postural Perceptual Persistente) é uma doença que não está inteiramente relacionada somente por pacientes neurológicos, pois ela não é capaz de ser identificada apenas por exames diagnósticos e avaliação vestibular. Ela é definida como tontura que persiste por mais de três meses, sem nenhuma etiologia identificada. O watsu é um método aplicado na fisioterapia aquática tendo o objetivo de relaxamento profundo, ele trabalha tanto o emocional, quanto o físico. Objetivos: Objetivou-se avaliar o tratamento da tontura postural perceptual persistente nos pacientes através da fisioterapia aquática no método watsu. Métodos: Foram selecionados 10 artigos nos últimos 7 anos através do uso de dados do Scielo, Pubmed, PEDRO, Cochrane Library e Lilacs. Os artigos escolhidos foram aqueles que efetuavam referências em suas bases, a apresentação relacionadas ao subterfúgio fisioterapêuticos importantes no tratamento da tontura postural perceptual persistente dentro do meio aquático com o método watsu. Resultados: Através do presente estudo foi relatado que além do tratamento pela fisioterapia vestibular, também temos a fisioterapia aquática com o método watsu. Foi possível observar que o meio aquático ainda é pouco utilizado em pacientes com tppp, porém, através das pesquisas foi possível comprovar uma crescente melhora dos indivíduos na água e uma diminuição dos sintomas que desencadeiam a tppp. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a fisioterapia aquática no método watsu mostrou-se eficaz no direcionamento da sintomatologia dos pacientes, trazendo melhoras na qualidade de vida, atividades diárias e bem estar.

Abstract
The atmospheres and surfaces of planets show a tremendous amount of spatial variation, which has a direct effect on the spectrum of the object, even if this may not be spatially resolved. Here, we apply hyperrealistic radiative simulations of Earth as an exoplanet comprising thousands of simulations and study the unresolved spectrum. The GlobES module on the Planetary Spectrum Generator was used, and we parameterized the atmosphere as described in the modern-Earth retrospective analysis for research and applications (MERRA-2) database. The simulations were made into high spatial resolution images and compared to space-based observations from the DSCOVR/EPIC (L1) and Himawari-8 (geostationary) satellites, confirming spatial variations and the spectral intensities of the simulations. The DISCOVR/EPIC camera only functions in narrow wavelength bands, but strong agreement is demonstrated. It is shown that aerosols and small particles play an important role in defining Earth’s reflectance spectra, contributing significantly to its characteristic blue color. Subsequently, a comprehensive noise model is employed to constrain the exposure time required to detect O2, O3, and H2O as a function of varying ground and cloud cover for several concept observatories, including the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). Cloud coverage enhances the detectability of planets in reflected light, with important consequences for the design of the future HWO. The HWO concept would require between 3 and 10 times longer to observe the studied features than LUVOIR A but performs better than the HabEx without a starshade. The codes, routines, and noise models are made publicly available.

ObjectiveRadiographic assessment of sacroiliac joints (SIJs) according to the modified New York (mNY) criteria is key in the classification of axial spondyloarthritis but has moderate interreader agreement. We aimed to investigate the improvements of the reliability in scoring SIJ radiographs after applying an online real-time iterative calibration (RETIC) module, in addition to a slideshow and video alone.MethodsNineteen readers, randomized to 2 groups (A or B), completed 3 calibration steps: (1) review of manuscripts, (2) review of slideshow and video with group A completing RETIC, and (3) re-review of slideshow and video with group B completing RETIC. The RETIC module gave instant feedback on readers’ gradings and continued until predefined reliability () targets for mNY positivity/negativity were met. Each step was followed by scoring different batches of 25 radiographs (exercises I to III). Agreement () with an expert radiologist was assessed for mNY positivity/negativity and individual lesions. Improvements by training strategies were tested by linear mixed models.ResultsIn exercises I, II, and III, mNYwere 0.61, 0.76, and 0.84, respectively, in group A; and 0.70, 0.68, and 0.86, respectively, in group B (ie, increasing, mainly after RETIC completion). Improvements were observed for grading both mNY positivity/negativity and individual pathologies, both in experienced and, particularly, inexperienced readers. Completion of the RETIC module in addition to the slideshow and video caused a significantincrease of 0.17 (95% CI 0.07-0.27;P= 0.002) for mNY-positive and mNY-negative grading, whereas completion of the slideshow and video alone did not (= 0.00, 95% CI −0.10 to 0.10;P= 0.99).ConclusionAgreement on scoring radiographs according to the mNY criteria significantly improved when adding an online RETIC module, but not by slideshow and video alone.

Published: September 2024

ObjectivePatients with inflammatory articular diseases, such as psoriatic arthritis (PsA), report weather changes in their symptoms. Our objective was to investigate the correlation between weather variation, disease activity (DA), and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with PsA.MethodsHourly measurements of temperature, relative humidity, and pressure were obtained from 2015 to 2020 in Montreal (through Environment Canada) and were matched with DA and PROs of patients with PsA enrolled in Rhumadata. The differences in mean DA and PROs were examined between winter and summer. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated between clinical profile and weather measurements.ResultsAmong patients with PsA, 2665 PROs were collected for a total of 858 patients. The Clinical Disease Activity Index (P= 0.001) and Simplified Disease Activity Index (P< 0.001) were lower in winter. In summer, positive correlations were found between humidity and symptoms (using patient global assessment, fatigue, pain, C-reactive protein, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index), whereas negative correlations between temperature and Health Assessment Questionnaire–Disability Index were reported. In winter, positive correlations were observed between temperature, fatigue, and pain.ConclusionThis is the first study to investigate weather variations through subjective and objective PROs matched with patients with PsA. Statistically significant differences in clinical profile were evident between winter and summer, as well as in their correlation with weather measurements. However, these distinctions lack clinical significance, suggesting a small impact on patients with PsA.

Abstract
Cutaneous mycobacterial infections cause substantial morbidity and are challenging to diagnose and treat. An improved understanding of the dermal immune response to mycobacteria may inspire new therapeutic approaches. We conducted a controlled human infection study with 10 participants who received 2 × 106 CFUs of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (Tice strain) intradermally and were randomized to receive isoniazid or no treatment. Peripheral blood was collected at multiple time points for flow cytometry, bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and serum Ab assessments. Systemic immune responses were detected as early as 8 d postchallenge in this M. bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin–naive population. Injection-site skin biopsies were performed at days 3 and 15 postchallenge and underwent immune profiling using mass cytometry and single-cell RNA-seq, as well as quantitative assessments of bacterial viability and burden. Molecular viability testing and standard culture results correlated well, although no differences were observed between treatment arms. Single-cell RNA-seq revealed various immune and nonimmune cell types in the skin, and communication between them was inferred by ligand-receptor gene expression. Day 3 communication was predominantly directed toward monocytes from keratinocyte, muscle, epithelial, and endothelial cells, largely via the migration inhibitory factor pathway and HLA-E–KLRK1 interaction. At day 15, communication was more balanced between cell types. These data reveal the potential role of nonimmune cells in the dermal immune response to mycobacteria and the utility of human challenge studies to augment our understanding of mycobacterial infections.

Published: September 2024

The Disaster Preparedness Village (Kampung Siaga Bencana or KSB) in Special Region of Yogyakarta Province (DIY) is a community that aims to increase community preparedness and resilience to disasters through collaboration between the local government, non-government organisations and the community. This research examines the sustainability factors of KSB, namely the role of local leadership and government collaboration in disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts. The method used in this research is a qualitative method and Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) analysis, then using a diamond model to visualise the role of local leadership and the role of government. The results of this research show the importance of local leadership role in the sustainability of KSB. Factors contributing to the success of DIY KSB include independence, fulfillment of social granary logistics and effective two-way communication between KSB management and the village government (Kalurahan). The study supports that effective local leadership empowers the community, influences resource utilisation and facilitates collaborative efforts with the village government and volunteer organisations to address disaster management priorities. In addition, the most significant shortcomings in community leadership based on trust cultural value will negatively impact their sustainability and activeness if the local actors as mobilisers are inactive, and there is no regeneration of active new leaders. The Umbulharjo KSB case study exemplifies effective local leadership, mainly through Jagabaya, the chairman of KSB management. Strong local leadership is a fundamental element in developing a cohesive community actively involved in DRR efforts.Contribution: The study reveals that local leadership significantly contributes to the development and sustained activity of KSB. The research concludes by emphasising the multifaceted nature of local leadership, considering various perspectives and the community’s values and goals. The diamond model illustrates the intersection between societal opportunities and government support, demonstrating the realisation of goals through effective local leadership.
