Published: October 2024

Abstract
With the continued exponential growth of digital images, concerns about the security and confidentiality of visual data have increased. In this session, a new developed approach was presented for image security and confidentiality by taking advantage of deep learning (DL) technology and producing data hierarchies. Due to the development taking place in the field of images and the large circulation of them through modern applications, it has become necessary to maintain their security. DL technology was used to encrypt and decrypt images, and based on hierarchical variables to complicate the encryption process. Convolutional neural networks are used in automatic learning to extract hierarchical features from an image, and to ensure adaptability, the model is trained on a variety of images. In order to encrypt the image, multi-layered hierarchical processes are used, and there are layers added during the work for complexity and to thwart attacks. Manipulating the layers of the neural network in a hierarchical manner to benefit from the outputs of the layers in feedback reflects the importance of the contributions here. Likewise, scattering the columns and rows of the image in a descending or ascending manner increases the efficiency of the contribution in this study. The use of hierarchical parameters facilitates encryption and decryption for authorized users. The evaluation of the research was conducted using established picture metrics and compared to pre-existing encryption techniques. The experimental findings substantiated the efficacy of the proposed approach in upholding image security, with the inclusion of hierarchical information further bolstering its ability to thwart attacks. Consequently, it emerges as a very promising strategy for ensuring image security. The proposed method is a significant advancement in creating an image security strategy using DL and a hierarchical variable creation process. The study provides a good and adaptable solution to evolving image security challenges in the digital age.
Evaluation of static bending caused damage of glass-fiber composite structure using terahertz inspection
Authors: Lopato Przemyslaw , Psuj Grzegorz , Herbko Michal , Spychalski Ireneusz 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Composite materials find increasing applications in modern industry and transport. However, they may lose desirable mechanical properties due to external mechanical excitations, ultraviolet radiation, moisture penetration, or other factors. Therefore, an effective way to assess the condition of materials is necessary. In this article, a nondestructive evaluation of glass fiber-reinforced composite subjected to five-stage static bending is presented. For this reason, pulsed excitation terahertz imaging was utilized, and a data processing/exploration scheme was proposed. The proposed, novel approach consists of an efficient data registration algorithm based on surface approximation (for surface roughness and unevenness elimination) and a parametrization scheme applied for the signals gained from the time response of the glass fiber-reinforced polymer layer. Obtained parameters enable the global description of the evaluated material state and prediction of failure effectively, even in the early stages of destruction.
A Historian’s View of the Qurʾān
Authors: Donner Fred M. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The Qurʾān, as a sacred text, poses distinctive challenges for the historian. The talk will begin by addressing briefly some of these challenges, in particular the limits of what the historian can say about sacred texts like the Qurʾān. The bulk of the talk will then discuss the challenges historians face in understanding the text’s transmission, as revealed both by Muslim tradition and from the evidence of the material record, and what implications the historian might draw from the Qurʾān’s content.
Long-term viscoelastic behavior and evolution of the Schapery model for mirror epoxy

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Mirror epoxy, used in its pure form with a resin-to-hardener ratio of 100:50, is emerging as an innovative material widely used in modern flooring. Its appeal lies in its smooth, shiny surface, offering a unique and contemporary aesthetic. However, understanding its long-term viscoelastic behavior is essential to ensure the durability and performance of floor coverings under various conditions of use. This study examines the evolution of the Schapery model for mirror epoxy, focusing on its long-term viscoelastic behavior. Creep tests at constant loads and ambient temperature are carried out in order to numerically determine the static nonlinearity factors g and g
0 formulated in the Schapery model. To validate this model, other relaxation tests at constant deformations are carried out under the same conditions, which allowed us to determine the nonlinearity factors h and h
0 formulated in this model using the same method. A remarkable consistency between the variations in the experimental and numerical values of the model programmed on MATLAB allows us to conclude that the Schapery model describes the real behavior of the mirror epoxy in a satisfactory manner.
Double-finite Serial Verbs in Sanskrit and later Indo-Aryan
Authors: Hock Hans Henrich 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Steever (1988. The serial verb formation in the Dravidian languages. Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass) introduced to South Asian linguistics the notion “Serial Verb” – a Dravidian construction in which two morphologically finite verbs agree in person and number features in the same sentence. I show that similar “double-finite” structures are found in Sanskrit/Indo-Aryan, although details differ. One double-finite construction, inherited from Proto-Indo-European, does not seem to have continued in the post-Vedic language, but others do, and similar structures occur in Modern Indo-Aryan languages. While the historical developments are relatively clear for early Indo-Aryan, from Vedic down to Pāli, there are questions about whether the double-finite constructions of Modern Indo-Aryan are inherited , since comparable structures have not been noted in late Middle Indo-Aryan Apabhraṁśa, the near-ancestor of (peninsular) Modern Indo-Aryan. In the conclusion I discuss alternatives to Modern Indo-Aryan inheritance, including areal and typological factors and the proposal by Milizia (2018. Sul presente neoindoarico a doppio verbo finito. Atti del Sodalizio Glottologico Milanese 12(n.s.). 93–111) that the perhaps most widespread Modern Indo-Aryan double-finite construction results from analogical developments. (Unfortunately, the latter proposal does not account for the other Modern Indo-Aryan double-finite constructions.)
Educare alla musica sacra: 100 anni di esperienza nella Scuola Diocesana di Bergamo
Authors: Sessantini Gilberto 
Published: October 2024

La scuola diocesana di musica sacra, oggi Accademia Musicale S. Cecilia di Bergamo, compie cent’anni. Alla luce di questa esperienza secolare, la relazione, dopo un breve excursus storico, individua alcuni elementi portanti della formazione alla musica sacra che essa offre oggi alle parrocchie della Diocesi di Bergamo. Il primo e imprescindibile elemento è la formazione alla musica in generale, soprattutto delle nuove generazioni. L’accademia svolge questo compito attraverso i corsi di propedeutica musicale, rivolti ai più piccoli (0–6 anni), e il coro di voci bianche, rivolto agli allievi più grandicelli (7–12 anni). Queste due attività didattiche di fatto ostituiscono il corso di alfabetizzazione musicale e di ear-training. Il secondo elemento riguarda la formazione alla musica sacra. Essa viene svolta da insegnamenti specialistici di Canto gregoriano, Direzione di coro, Musicologia liturgica e vocalità, Organo. Il punto di forza risiede nel convergere di più persone e istituzioni verso questa medesima finalità, dal momento che sono coinvolti a vario titolo, la Cattedrale con i suoi organi e la sua Schola gregoriana, la Basilica di S. Maria Maggiore con la sua rinomata e storica Cappella musicale, il Conservatorio di Bergamo. Questa rete di collaborazione di fatto rende le due chiese più importanti della Diocesi anche un duplice centro di produzione, di educazione, di promozione di musica sacra. Ciò che di fatto si insegna in Accademia è ciò che viene attuato in queste due chiese, e, data la loro esemplarità, a ricaduta si attua nelle parrocchie pur nella diversità dei mezzi a disposizione.

Aim. To study the informativeness of sympathetic activity markers and perirenal adipose tissue (PRAT) in assessing renal function decline in patients with resistant hypertension (RH).Material and methods. The study included 63 patients with RH of both sexes aged 40-80 years. The main group included 19 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The control group consisted of 44 patients with RH without CKD. All patients were assessed for uric acid, blood lipid profile, beta-adrenergic reactivity of erythrocyte mem­branes, free metanephrine and normetanephrine in plasma and 24-hour urine. The renal function was assessed by the glomerular filtra­tion rate calculated using the CKD-EPI equation. Twenty-four hour blood pressure monitoring was performed on the brachial artery of one arm at intervals of 15 minutes during the day and 30 minutes at night. Kidney size and PRAT were calculated based on the magnetic reso­nance imaging.Results. In both groups of patients, a significant increase in blood normetanephrine and beta-adrenergic reactivity of erythrocyte mem­branes relative to the reference values was shown. Blood and 24-hour urine metanephrine were within the reference intervals. No differences were found between the sympathetic activity indices in the main and control groups. In the main group patients, the PRAT thickness was greater (p=0,013), and the kidney diameter was smaller (p=0,046) than in the control group patients.Conclusion. CKD in RH patients is not accompanied by additional significant changes in sympathetic regulation, assessed by the blood and 24-hour urine catecholamine levels, the degree of beta-adrenergic receptor desensitization and variability of blood pressure. PRAT increase according to magnetic resonance imaging in patients with RH is associated with a decrease in renal filtration function.
Cardio-oncology: a cardiologist's view on the problem of endovascular treatment of patients with coronary artery disease and severe aortic valve stenosis combined with cancer: a literature review
Authors: Alekyan B. G. , Gelesian L. G. 
Published: October 2024

Cardio-oncology is a new medical direction which is responsible for the prevention of development, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with cancer. The prevalence of cardiac pathology in cancer patients turned out to be unexpectedly high, while only half of the patients with pathology of two systems are referred to a cardiologist for consultation and receive optimal therapy. The coincidence of risk fa­ctors for CVD and cancer suggests that these diseases have common underlying biological and molecular mechanisms. Antitumor therapy and radiation therapy can also contribute to the onset and progression of CVD. Diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with cancer is difficult, since this group of patients often lacks typical angina pain, and the most common complaint is dyspnea. Endovascular surgery for CAD and severe aortic valve stenosis can be an effective and safe method for treating patients with concomitant cancer. However, given the heterogeneity of cancer diseases and the fact that these patients were not included in most randomized trials studying the CVD treatment, further research is required in this area.Aim. To analyze the literature on the etiopathogenesis of CVD in cancer patients, as well as the clinical features of CAD and aortic valve stenosis in cancer patients and the potential of innovative endovascular technologies.Conclusion. For management and treatment of such severe comorbid patients, the participation of a multidisciplinary team and a personalized approach to each patient are necessary.

Aim. To study the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension (HTN), structure and effectiveness of treatment coverage, as well as disease control indicators among the male population aged 35-74 years in Novosibirsk.Material and methods. This cross-sectional study of the Novosibirsk population was conducted in 2021-2023 at the Research Institute for Internal and Preventive Medicine — branch of the Federal Research Center Institute of Cytology and Genetics according to the ESSE-RF3 study protocol. A total of 1200 people aged 35-74 years living in Novosibirsk were examined. The analysis included 600 men. The response rate exceeded 70%. HTN was considered detected in systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥140 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP ≥90 mm Hg and/or in patients taking antihypertensive agents. Awareness was estimated as the proportion of individuals who had previously been informed by a physician about HTN. Treatment effectiveness was considered the proportion of individuals who achieved target BP values while taking antihypertensive therapy. Hypertension control was considered the proportion of individuals who achieved target values among all those examined with HTN. Statistical processing was performed using the SPSS software package (version 13.0). Associations were assessed using multiple logistic regression analysis. The critical significance level of the null hypothesis (p) was 0,05.Results. The medians of systolic and diastolic BP among men in No­vo­sibirsk were 136,0 [126,5; 149,5] and 89,0 [82,0; 95,5] mm Hg, respectively. The prevalence of HTN among men aged 35-74 in Novo­sibirsk was 68,9%, while 81,1% of men in Novosibirsk were aware of HTN. Among men with HTN, 54,7% take antihypertensive agents. The effectiveness of treatment among men in Novosibirsk is 32,3%, while 19,6% of men control the disease. The odds of hypertension occurrence in men with hypertriglyceridemia increased by 3,5 times, with abdominal obesity — by 2 times, with an positive family history for cardiovascular diseases — by 1,6 times, and with each year of life increased by 1,1 times.Conclusion. The prevalence of HTN among men in Novosibirsk is higher in comparison with the average Russian level. Significant risk factors for HTN include abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and decreased physical activity. While awareness, treatment coverage, and HTN control among men aged 35-74 in Novosibirsk correspond to Russian trends, treatment effectiveness turned out to be slightly lower than in the Russian population.

Aim. To summarize the published data on the nomenclature of ambu­latory care sensitive diseases/conditions (ACSCs) in adult patients as one of the tools for a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of primary health care (PHC) measures implemented.Material and methods. The study was implemented in 4 following stages: 1 — search for articles by keywords in electronic bibliographic databases; 2 — duplicate elimination; 3 — review of abstracts with an as­sessment for compliance with the inclusion/exclusion criteria, fol­lowed by a search for full-text versions and final selection of pub­lications; 4 — systematization and analysis of data on the ACSCs. Articles published in the period from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2022 and containing information on ACSC nomenclature were searched in 4 domestic and foreign electronic bibliographic databases (Elibrary, NLM (PubMed), MEDLINE, PreMEDLINE). The PRISMA (Preferred Re­porting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) system was used in the preparation of the systematic review. Systematization of information on the obtained results was carried out in Microsoft Office Excel 2016 spreadsheets.Results. In total, out of 10898 initially found publications, 11 full-text pa­pers describing studies that fully met the inclusion/exclusion criteria we­re admitted to stage 4 and were included in the final analysis. In none of the 11 publications was ACSC nomenclature identical to any other pub­lication included in stage 4 of the analysis. Variability in the total num­ber of ACSCs was noted in each of the assessed papers. In 100% of the analyzed publications, the NCAs included chronic obstructive pul­monary disease/chronic bronchitis, heart failure, diabetes, and hypertension. In 91% (10 publications), the ACSCs included angina pectoris, asthma, iron deficiency anemia, dental and oral diseases, urinary tract infections, acute skin infections, and gastroenteritis.Conclusion. The nomenclature of the ACSCs in different countries is characterized by variability due to demographic, epidemiological, organizational, and other features. The conducted systematic review showed that the nomenclature of the ACSCs has not been defined in the Russian Federation. The data obtained in this work can serve as a basis for initiating a project aimed at developing a domestic nomenclature of ACSCs as one of the tools for a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of PHC measures implemented.
Construções causativas no português antigo e clássico: O scrambling e a emergência da marcação de caso excepcional
Authors: Andrade Aroldo Leal de 
Published: October 2024

Resumo: Este texto tem um duplo objetivo: apresentar um quadro da variação e mudança envolvendo diferentes construções causativas no português antigo e clássico, a partir de um estudo baseado em corpus; e apresentar uma análise para a emergência da construção de marcação de caso excepcional no complemento de verbos causativos. Proponho, num quadro minimalista, que o licenciamento do causado na posição entre os verbos causativo e infinitivo surge a partir da reanálise de uma posição A’ na periferia do sintagma infinitivo, resultante de uma operação de scrambling. Até o final do português antigo, a construção não seria possível devido a uma correlação entre propriedade de “ordem livre de palavras” quanto à configuracionalidade discursiva e o alinhamento morfossintático inverso dos argumentos verbais no complemento infinitivo.Palavras-chave: Português antigo; Português clássico; Verbos causativos; Marcação de caso excepcional; Configuracionalidade discursiva.Abstract: This text has a twofold goal: to give a picture of variation and change involving different causative constructions in Old and Classical Portuguese from a corpus-based study, and to present an account for the emergence of the Exceptional Case Marking construction in the complement of causative verbs. I propose, in a minimalist framework, that the licensing of the causee in the position between the causative and the infinitival verb arises from the reanalysis of an A’ position at the periphery of the infinitival phrase, resulting from a scrambling operation. Until the end of Old Portuguese the construction would not be possible due to a correlation between the property of “free word order” regarding discourse configurationality and the inverse morphosyntactic alignment of the verbal arguments in the infinitival complement.Keywords: Old Portuguese; Classical Portuguese; Causative Verbs;Exceptional Case Marking; Discourse Configurationality.

Background: Fungal infections have emerged as a significant cause of late-onset neonatal sepsis in the last two decades. Epidemiological data on fungal sepsis in neonates especially in the Bangladesh population is scarce. Fungal infections are frequent and major causes of septicemia in neonatal intensive care units and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Objective of the study: This study aims to determine the epidemiological trend of neonatal fungal infection, the organisms, and their susceptibility pattern to the different antifungal agents and additionally to look for the various risk factors, clinical features, and laboratory manifestation of fungal sepsis in neonates.
Method: This Prospective observational study was carried in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) & Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Central hospital, Dhaka after approval from IRB. A total of 106 admitted neonates during the study period who were eligible for this study were included. On the basis of exclusion criteria 12 neonates were excluded. Blood culture was tested in the department of Microbiology of participating institutes.
Results: After meeting all inclusion criteria 94 patients were included in the study. Most of the neonates (62.8%) were male and 67% were outborn. Around 34% Birth weight was between 2500gm to 3999gm followed by 31.9% in between 1000 gm to 1499 gm. Preterm were 69.2% and delivery by LUCS was 75.5%. Death occurred in 12.8% cases. Fungal growth were isolated in 69.1% cases. All were Candida species. There was no statically significant difference in between Culture positive and no growth group in terms of risk factors and laboratory findings except temperature instability. In culture positive group 82.4% cases had temperature instability compared to no growth group. All Candida species were sensitive to most of the antifungal agents except Candida ciferrii which was only sensitive to flucytosine.
Conclusion: Candida is the most prevalent fungus in NICU. Candida ciferrii is an emerging fungus which is resistant to classical antifungal agents.
