ІНТЕГРАЦІЙНІ ПРОЦЕСИ ЯК ФАКТОР СУЧАСНОЇ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ: ДОСВІД БАЛТІЙСЬКИХ КРАЇН
Authors: Захаров Тарас 
Published: October 2024

У статті аналізуються особливості інтеграційних процесів Литви, Латвії та Естонії до Європейського Союзу, а також можливість використання їхнього досвіду в євроінтеграційних процесах України, які сьогодні є особливо актуальними в контексті військової агресії Російської Федерації. Досліджується вплив розширення Європейського Союзу на схід після розпаду Радянського Союзу на економічну та міграційну політику балтійських країн, оцінюється спроможність економічних інституцій до подолання наслідків фінансово-економічних криз. Висвітлюються виклики державності в процесі посткомуністичної трансформації країн Балтії на початку ХХ ст., а також розглядаються сучасні тенденції та перспективи економічного співробітництва між Україною та Європейським Союзом з використанням сучасних методів оцінки. Динамічний евроінтеграційний шлях України актуалізував пошук оптимальної «некласичної» моделі приєднання до Європейського Союзу з дотриманням розумних часових рамок. Показано, що модель поетапного приєднання є найбільш цілісно-узгодженою та логічно-структурованою концепцією, яка може забезпечити передбачуваний прогрес на шляху до членства в Європейському Союзі. Доведено на прикладі країн Балтії, що членство в Європейському Союзі стимулює модернізацію та економічний розвиток, що відтак веде до поліпшення рівня життя суспільства. Двадцятирічне членство балтійських країн в Європейському Союзі свідчить про успішні трансформаційні процеси, що дозволить і Україні врахувати поточні економічні виклики в контексті розвитку економічної її політики в умовах російської військової агресії.

Authors: Klug Jackeline Aparecida Pacheco , Stremel Helton Felipe , Costa Oliveira Katia Regina 
Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar o caso de neoplasia pulmonar primária em um cão. Primary pulmonary neoplasia affects approximately 0.5 to 1.2% of all tumors, often diagnosed as malignant, with pulmonary adenocarcinoma being the most common. Most affected animals do not show clinical signs, with some signs appearing in the advanced stages of the disease. Diagnosis is conducted through radiography, with three projections: right and left lateral-laterals, and ventro-dorsal or dorso-ventral. However, computed tomography allows for better visualization of size, calcification, number, and density of the lesion. Nevertheless, for a definitive diagnosis, histopathological examination is recommended. Treatment involves surgical intervention, specifically pulmonary lobectomy. Chemotherapy can be administered but demonstrates low efficacy in these cases. The aim of this study was to present a case of primary lung neoplasia in a dog.

On the Concept of "Developing Countries"
Authors: Tauber Arnošt 
Published: October 2024

In this discussion contribution, the point is not to deal with the terminological question, comment on whether the so-called the developing world should be labeled as "developing countries" or "economically less developed country", "economically underdeveloped countries","land of undeveloped capitalism", or call them by other possible names, or to keep the name "countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America", but to try to establish some basic criteria characteristic of the area of ​​the world that we freely label, maybe not too happy, for development. Developing countries usually include politically sovereign African states with South Africa, Asia with the exception of Japan and Israel, and Latin America with the exception of Cuba. If we use the term developing countries, then they belong to this group even territories in these areas that have not yet achieved state sovereignty and still havecolonies.
Importance of Interpretation of Documents for Achieving the Ultimate Goal of the Concerned Parties: An Overview
Authors: Kalim Ullah  
Published: October 2024

In civilized societies, it is considered necessary to establish the rights and obligations of each party in relation to the signed agreement in order to regulate interpersonal relationships under general laws. It can be achieved through the proper interpretation of documents, agreements, and other deeds. The art of interpretation of a document is the process of identifying the genuine meaning of a document by endowing the words of the enactment with their natural and usual meaning. Finding out what the words in a document actually mean is the process that is referred to as "word analysis." In this particular study, the different rules and norms associated with the interpretation of documents are analyzed and appraised. In addition, an attempt has been made to evaluate the powers of the court regarding the interpretation of documents by going beyond the ordinary rules. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the interpretation of various deeds, including an agreement to sell, deed of sale, deed of will, and deed of gift, etc.

Determining the optimal phosphorus rates and deficit irrigation levels is key to enhancing soybean productivity in the Jawi District, Northwest Ethiopia. Soybean is a vital cash crop in Jawi District, Northwest Ethiopia, and improving its productivity is crucial for food security and community socioeconomic status. The optimal phosphorus and deficit irrigation rates in this region remain unresolved. The aim of this study was to optimize soybean productivity in this region by determining the optimal phosphorus rates and deficit irrigation levels. The experiment was conducted during irrigation seasons 2021/22 and 2022/23 using a split-plot design with an RCBD arrangement. The results showed that combining P rates of 10, 20, 30, and 40 kg ha-1 with 100% ETc. significantly increased soybean grain production. Similarly, soybean grain yield increased at P rates of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 kg ha-1 P with 75% ETc. The highest water productivity recorded was 0.29 kg m-3 at 50% ETc. This study suggests that combining P rates of 10, 20, 30, and 40 kg ha-1 P with 100% ETc. and P rates of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 kg ha-1 P with 75% ETc. could significantly enhance soybean productivity. Implementing these strategies could lead to more sustainable and efficient agricultural practices in Jawi District, thereby improving crop yields and overall profitability.
The role of narcissism and motivated reasoning on misinformation propagation
Authors: Haupt Michael Robert , Cuomo Raphael , Mackey Tim K. , Coulson Seana 
Published: October 2024

BackgroundExplanations for why social media users propagate misinformation include failure of classical reasoning (over-reliance on intuitive heuristics), motivated reasoning (conforming to group opinion), and personality traits (e.g., narcissism). However, there is a lack of consensus on which explanation is most predictive of misinformation spread. Previous work is also limited by not distinguishing between passive (i.e., “liking”) and active (i.e., “retweeting”) propagation behaviors.MethodsTo examine this issue, 858 Twitter users were recruited to engage in a Twitter simulation task in which they were shown real tweets on public health topics (e.g., COVID-19 vaccines) and given the option to “like”, “reply”, “retweet”, “quote”, or select “no engagement”. Survey assessments were then given to measure variables corresponding to explanations for: classical reasoning [cognitive reflective thinking (CRT)], motivated reasoning (religiosity, political conservatism, and trust in medical science), and personality traits (openness to new experiences, conscientiousness, empathy, narcissism).ResultsCognitive reflective thinking, conscientiousness, openness, and emotional concern empathy were all negatively associated with liking misinformation, but not significantly associated with retweeting it. Trust in medical scientists was negatively associated with retweeting misinformation, while grandiose narcissism and religiosity were positively associated. An exploratory analysis on engagement with misinformation corrections shows that conscientiousness, openness, and CRT were negatively associated with liking corrections while political liberalism, trust in medical scientists, religiosity, and grandiose narcissism were positively associated. Grandiose narcissism was the only factor positively associated with retweeting corrections.DiscussionFindings support an inhibitory role for classical reasoning in the passive spread of misinformation (e.g., “liking”), and a major role for narcissistic tendencies and motivated reasoning in active propagating behaviors (“retweeting”). Results further suggest differences in passive and active propagation, as multiple factors influence liking behavior while retweeting is primarily influenced by two factors. Implications for ecologically valid study designs are also discussed to account for greater nuance in social media behaviors in experimental research.

Published: October 2024

PurposeVolumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a new treatment modality in modern radiotherapy. To ensure the quality of the radiotherapy plan, a physics plan review is routinely conducted by senior clinicians; however, this process is less efficient and less accurate. In this study, a multi-task AutoEncoder (AE) is proposed to automate anomaly detection of VMAT plans for lung cancer patients.MethodsThe feature maps are first extracted from a VMAT plan. Then, a multi-task AE is trained based on the input of a feature map, and its output is the two targets (beam aperture and prescribed dose). Based on the distribution of reconstruction errors on the training set, a detection threshold value is obtained. For a testing sample, its reconstruction error is calculated using the AE model and compared with the threshold value to determine its classes (anomaly or regular). The proposed multi-task AE model is compared to the other existing AE models, including Vanilla AE, Contractive AE, and Variational AE. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and the other statistics are used to evaluate the performance of these models.ResultsAmong the four tested AE models, the proposed multi-task AE model achieves the highest values in AUC (0.964), accuracy (0.821), precision (0.471), and F1 score (0.632), and the lowest value in FPR (0.206).ConclusionThe proposed multi-task AE model using two-dimensional (2D) feature maps can effectively detect anomalies in radiotherapy plans for lung cancer patients. Compared to the other existing AE models, the multi-task AE is more accurate and efficient. The proposed model provides a feasible way to carry out automated anomaly detection of VMAT plans in radiotherapy.
Comprehensive management of gestational diabetes mellitus: practical efficacy of exercise therapy and sustained intervention strategies
Authors: Xu Hao , Liu Renyi 
Published: October 2024

BackgroundGestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) affects 14.0% of pregnancies globally, with a 35% post-pregnancy relapse and a 60% risk of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) within 5-10 years. Challenges in long-term management, especially postpartum, include adherence and follow-up difficulties.MethodsThis study, based on a systematic review and meta-analysis, examined the practical effects of exercise therapy in the prevention, treatment, and prevention of progression from Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Relevant research and clinical practices were retrieved from six major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Science Direct). After analyzing the intervention effects of exercise therapy at different stages, factors favorably influencing the effectiveness of exercise intervention were identified during the more effective stages. Finally, a long-term and efficient exercise implementation plan for the comprehensive management of GDM was proposed.ResultsIn GDM prevention, exercise reduced the post-intervention risk by 37% compared to the control group (Relative Risk (RR)=0.63; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.54 to 0.72; p=0.01). Studies on GDM treatment showed improved glucose control in the exercise group post-intervention (Mean Difference (MD)=-0.10; 95% CI: -0.16 to -0.04; p=0.04/MD=-0.27; 95% CI: -0.36 to -0.19; p&lt;0.0001). However, exercise therapy didn’t significantly affect the incidence of T2D post-GDM (RR=0.88; 95% CI: 0.69 to 1.11; p=0.39) due to challenges in quantified exercise prescriptions and the complexity of postpartum programs.ConclusionTo enhance exercise therapy effectiveness in GDM management, the study recommends adopting an integrated model emphasizing personalized pregnancy plans, postpartum strategies, and long-term support. Leveraging frequent healthcare contact during pregnancy can establish and sustain exercise habits, fostering a lifelong pattern. While the study acknowledges limitations, this approach holds potential for improving glycemic metabolism and developing healthy exercise habits in subsequent generations. Future research should include longer follow-ups to validate the practical efficacy of this approach in preventing T2D after GDM.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero, identifier CRD42023463617.
Tidal impacts on air-sea CO2 exchange on the North-West European shelf
Authors: Kossack Jan , Mathis Moritz , Daewel Ute , Liu Feifei , Demir Kubilay Timur , Thomas Helmuth , Schrum Corinna 
Published: October 2024

Tidal forcing is a dominant physical forcing mechanism on the Northwest European Shelf (NWES) that regulates the mixing-stratification status of the water column and thus acts as a major control for biological productivity and air-sea CO2 exchange. Tides further influence the marine carbon cycle on the shelf by affecting benthic-pelagic coupling, vertical mixing and the large-scale residual circulation. The cumulative tidal impact on oceanic uptake of atmospheric CO2 on the NWES, however, remains largely unexplored. We use a coupled physical-biogeochemical ocean model to gain quantitative understanding of the tidal impacts on the air-sea CO2 exchange of the NWES by comparing hindcast simulations with and without tidal forcing. Our results show that tidal forcing weakens the annual oceanic CO2 uptake on the NWES by 0.15 Tmol C yr−1, corresponding to a ~13% stronger CO2 sink in the experiment without tidal forcing. The tide-induced increase in marine primary production demonstrated in earlier studies, which primarily enhances biological carbon fixation in shallow inner-shelf regions of the NWES, does not significantly affect net air-sea CO2 exchange. Instead, we find tidal mixing, tide-induced baroclinic circulation and the tidal impact on benthic-pelagic coupling to be dominant controls of air-sea CO2 exchange. Tidal mixing in the permanently mixed shelf regions accounts for the majority (~40%) of the weakening effect on CO2 uptake, while the modulation of water mass composition in the Celtic Sea by tide-induced baroclinic circulation reduces the uptake further (~33% of the difference in annual mean CO2 uptake). In terms of the shelf carbon budget, the tidal response of air-sea CO2 exchange is primarily mediated by changes to the pelagic DIC reservoir (~73%; −0.11 Tmol C yr−1). Tidal impacts on off-shelf carbon export to the North Atlantic only account for ~20% (−0.03 Tmol C yr−1) of the tidal impact on shelf CO2 uptake, and changes in sedimentation of particulate organic carbon account for the remaining ~7% (−0.01 Tmol C yr−1).
Integrating generative AI with ABCDE rule analysis for enhanced skin cancer diagnosis, dermatologist training and patient education

Published: October 2024

SignificanceThe early detection and accurate monitoring of suspicious skin lesions are critical for effective dermatological diagnosis and treatment, particularly for reliable identification of the progression of nevi to melanoma. The traditional diagnostic framework, the ABCDE rule, provides a foundation for evaluating lesion characteristics by visual examination using dermoscopes. Simulations of skin lesion progression could improve the understanding of melanoma growth patterns.AimThis study aims to enhance lesion analysis and understanding of lesion progression by providing a simulated potential progression of nevi into melanomas.ApproachThe study generates a dataset of simulated lesion progressions, from nevi to simulated melanoma, based on a Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Network (Cycle-GAN) and frame interpolation. We apply an optical flow analysis to the generated dermoscopic image sequences, enabling the quantification of lesion transformation. In parallel, we evaluate changes in ABCDE rule metrics as example to assess the simulated evolution.ResultsWe present the first simulation of nevi progressing into simulated melanoma counterparts, consisting of 152 detailed steps. The ABCDE rule metrics correlate with the simulation in a natural manner. For the seven samples studied, the asymmetry metric increased by an average of 19%, the border gradient metric increased by an average of 63%, the convexity metric decreased by an average of 3%, the diameter increased by an average of 2%, and the color dispersion metric increased by an average of 45%. The diagnostic value of the ABCDE rule is enhanced through the addition of insights based on optical flow. The outward expansion of lesions, as captured by optical flow vectors, correlates strongly with the expected increase in diameter, confirming the simulation’s fidelity to known lesion growth patterns. The heatmap visualizations further illustrate the degree of change within lesions, offering an intuitive visual proxy for lesion evolution.ConclusionThe achieved simulations of potential lesion progressions could facilitate improved early detection and understanding of how lesions evolve. By combining the optical flow analysis with the established criteria of the ABCDE rule, this study presents a significant advancement in dermatoscopic diagnostics and patient education. Future research will focus on applying this integrated approach to real patient data, with the aim of enhancing the understanding of lesion progression and the personalization of dermatological care.

Published: October 2024

IntroductionHealthcare professionals are expected to demonstrate competence in the effective management of chronic disease and long-term health and rehabilitation needs. Care provided by groups of collaborating professionals is currently well recognized as a more effective way to support people living with these conditions than routine, single-profession clinical encounters. Clinical learning contexts provide hands-on opportunities to develop the interprofessional competencies essential for health professional students in training; however, suitable assessment tools are needed to support student attainment of interprofessional competencies with self-assessment espoused as an important component of learning.MethodA structured approach was taken to locate and review existing tools used for the self-assessment and peer assessment of students’ competencies relevant to interprofessional practice.ResultsA range of self- and/or peer assessment approaches are available, including formally structured tools and less structured processes inclusive of focus groups and reflection.DiscussionThe identified tools will usefully inform discussion regarding interprofessional competency self- and peer assessment options by healthcare students participating in a broad range of clinical learning contexts.ConclusionSelf- and/or peer assessment is a useful approach for those seeking to effectively enhance interprofessional learning and measure the attainment of related competencies.
