In an effort to improve the quality of customer service, especially in terms of feasibility assessment of borrowers due to the increasing number of new prospective borrowers loans financing the purchase of a motor vehicle, then the company needs a decision making tool allowing you to easily and quickly estimate Where the debtor is able to pay off the loans.This study discusses the process generates C4.5 decision tree algorithm and utilizing the learning group of debtor financing dataset motorcycle. The decision tree is then interpreted into the form of decision rules that can be understood and used as a reference in processing the data of borrowers in determining the feasibility of prospective new borrowers. Feasibility value refers to the value of the destination parameter credit status. If the value of the credit is paid off status mean estimated prospective borrower is able to repay the loan in question, but if the credit status parameters estimated worth pull means candidates concerned debtor is unable to pay loans..System testing is done by comparing the results of the testing data by learning data in three scenarios with the decision that the data is valid at over 70% for all case scenarios. Moreover, in generated tree and generate rules takes fairly quickly, which is no more than 15 minutes for each test scenario

Published: February 2017

Clinicians and clinical researchers share a common goal of achieving better outcomes for patients with low back pain (LBP). For that, randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews are the most reliable study designs to determine the effects of interventions. Subgroup analyses in these research designs have been used to examine treatment-effect modification across subgroups defined by patient characteristics. In this Viewpoint, the authors present supporting and opposing arguments for the subgrouping approach in nonspecific LBP, considering the progress made so far in the LBP field and the relevant literature in adjacent fields.

<p> In this paper, the unknown parameters of the photovoltaic (PV) module are determined using Genetic Algorithm (GA) method. This algorithm based on minimizing the absolute difference between the maximum power obtained from module datasheet and the maximum power obtained from the mathematical model of the PV module, at different operating conditions. This method does not need to initial values, so these parameters of the PV module are easily obtained with high accuracy. To validate the proposed method, the results obtained from it are compared with the experimental results obtained from the PV module datasheet for different operating conditions. The results obtained from the proposed model are found to be very close compared to the results given in the datasheet of the PV module.</p>
Three “Hands” and Literacy in Muscovy during the Reign of Ivan IV
Authors: Halperin Charles J. 
Published: February 2017

Some recent historians dissent from the widespread opinion that Muscovite society during the reign of Ivan IV was overwhelmingly illiterate. This article adduces three types of evidence that more optimistic assessments of the extent of literacy are nearer the truth. Analysis of the use of the terms “to know letters” and “to affix one’s hand” and explanations of why principals or witnesses to a legal transaction did not “affix their hands” demonstrate conclusively that they meant to be literate and write their signature on a document. Therefore, signatures prove practical literacy. Documents written by a non-scribe principal demonstrate an even higher level of literacy. The absence of documents handwritten by boyars reflects not boyar illiteracy, but boyar snobbism, facilitated in part by use of personal slave/servant “writers” to handwrite their charters. Literacy in Ivan’s Muscovy was more widespread among the elite than pessimistic assessments allow.

Authors: Rostoks Toms , Vanaga Nora 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
This article takes a comprehensive look at developments in Latvia’s security and defence policies since 2014. The annexation of Crimea and the outbreak of the military conflict in Ukraine provided a major impetus for Latvian decision-makers to counter external and domestic threats to national security. The article discusses three key aspects of Latvia’s post-2014 security and defence developments. First, it looks at the transformation of security perceptions on the policy-making level. Second, the article discusses Latvia’s efforts to strengthen its military capabilities. Domestic security developments are also discussed. Third, differences between attitudes of Latvians and Russian-speakers towards a number of security and defence-related issues are presented. The article concludes that much has been done since 2014, but progress has been uneven. It will take more than just a few years to close the existing gaps in domestic and external security of Latvia.

Published: February 2017

AbstractLearning skills or knowledge online from experiences is attractive for robots because it permits them to develop new behavior autonomously. However, the onus lies with the system designer to specify which skills or knowledge the robot should learn. Experience-based goal generation algorithms permit a robot to decide autonomously what it will to learn. This paper presents an adaptive resonance theory approach to experience-based generation of approach, avoidance, maintenance and achievement goals for a mobile robot. An experimental analysis is conducted to explore the relationship between algorithm parameters and goals generated on a simulated ePuck robot. Results show how parameter choice influences the number, stability and nature of generated goals. We identify theweight representations, distance functions and update rules that are appropriate for a mobile robot to generate maintenance and achievement goals.

Conhecendo os paradigmas catequéticos
Authors: Maria do Carmo Solange , Dos Santos Alex Cristiano 
Published: February 2017

<p>A catequese, especialmente a partir da Reforma Protestante, foi conduzida por paradigmas que emergiram das necessidades de cada tempo. Com o cisma protestante, a fé católica se viu impelida a desenvolver uma catequese capaz de afirmar sua identidade (cristã-católica) frente ao florescimento e crescimento da Igreja protestante. Surge, aqui a catequese doutrinária, alicerçada nos catecismos (primeiro paradigma). Esta será abalada pelo advento da razão moderna, que traz consigo novas demandas. Frente a essas demandas, emerge um novo paradigma catequético (segundo paradigma) que, buscando responder os anseios do homem moderno, não parte mais da doutrina, mas da concretude existencial dos sujeitos. Todavia, nenhum destes paradigmas, já consolidados, mostra-se suficiente para atender as necessidades da catequese frente às reivindicações do homem contemporâneo. Surge, assim, o terceiro paradigma catequético, ainda em construção, que busca um retorno à pedagogia “original da fé”, a pedagogia da iniciação, da proposta, capaz de proporcionar uma experiência pessoal do Ressuscitado, transformando as vidas e as ações dos indivíduos contemporâneos e de suas comunidades. </p>

ImportanceGiven high rates of locoregional control after definitive management of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), better methods are needed to project distant metastasis (DM) risk. Tumor hypoxia on 18F-fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) positron emission tomography (PET) is associated with locoregional failure, but data demonstrating an association with DM are limited.ObjectiveTo determine whether tumor hypoxia on FMISO PET is associated with DM risk after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for HNSCC.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study assessed patients with HNSCC enrolled in 2 prospective clinical trials at a single academic referral center from 2004 to 2021 in which participants received FMISO PET before and during CRT. Data analysis occurred from May 2023 to May 2024.ExposuresFMISO PET scans before and 1 to 2 weeks after starting CRT were evaluated for tumor hypoxia by nuclear medicine physicians.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was DM, defined as biopsy-proven HNSCC outside the primary site and regional lymph nodes. Time to DM was modeled with competing risk regression, with death as a competing risk. Overall survival (OS) was assessed secondarily and modeled with Cox regression.ResultsAmong 281 patients (median [range] age at CRT, 58.7 [25.5-85.6] years; 251 male [89.3%]) included in this study, 242 (86.1%) had oropharyngeal primary cancer, and 266 (94.7%) had human papillomavirus–positive disease. Of all patients, 217 (77.2%) had T stage 1 or 2, and 231 patients (82.2%) had N stage 2b or less. De-escalated 30 Gy CRT was delivered to 144 patients (51.2%), and the remainder received standard 70 Gy CRT. On FMISO PET examination, 73 patients (26.0%) had hypoxia-negative disease before CRT, 138 patients (49.1%) had hypoxia-positive disease before CRT and then hypoxia-negative disease during CRT, and 70 patients (24.9%) persistently had hypoxia-positive disease before and during CRT. At a median (IQR) 58 (46-91) months of follow-up, 12 DM events and 22 deaths were observed. Persistent intratreatment hypoxia was associated with increased DM risk (hazard ratio, 3.51; 95% CI, 1.05-11.79; P = .04) and worse OS (hazard ratio, 2.66; 95% CI, 1.14-6.19; P = .02). No patients with hypoxia-negative disease before CRT experienced DM.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study using pooled analysis of prospective nonrandomized clinical trials incorporating FMISO PET in the definitive management of HNSCC, persistent intratreatment hypoxia was associated with increased risk of DM and worse OS. Conversely, all patients with hypoxia-negative disease before treatment remained free of DM. These findings suggest that pretreatment and intratreatment FMISO PET results may serve as biomarkers for DM risk and aid in identifying candidates for escalated therapeutic strategies.

ObjectiveOur objective was to evaluate the development of a systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (SARD) in undifferentiated and asymptomatic individuals with antinuclear antibodies (ANAs). We comparatively evaluated those who did and did not develop a SARD and fulfillment of classification criteria.MethodsWe conducted a cohort study of undifferentiated and asymptomatic patients with ANAs who were assessed for the development of a SARD. The primary outcome was a diagnosis of a SARD over a two‐year period. We assessed fulfillment of classification criteria. Risk ratios (RRs) were used to evaluate differences among those who did and did not progress to a SARD.ResultsWe evaluated 207 asymptomatic ANA‐positive or undifferentiated patients, of whom 23 (11%) progressed to a SARD, whereas 187 (89%) did not progress. Progressors developed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (n = 11 [48%]), Sjögren disease (n = 5 [22%]), systemic sclerosis (n = 3 [13%]), rheumatoid arthritis (n = 1 [4%]), and from ANA‐positive to undifferentiated connective tissue disease (n = 3 [13%]). Fever (RR 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.8–0.93) and antiphospholipid antibodies (RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.87–0.93) occurred less frequently, whereas arthritis (RR 1.74, 95% CI 1.20–2.55) occurred more frequently in progressors. Progressors to SLE had arthritis (91%), whereas none developed delirium, psychosis, or nephritis. Among patients with SLE, 100% fulfilled the EULAR/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) SLE criteria (sensitivity 91.7%, specificity 100%), whereas 73% fulfilled the 1997 ACR SLE criteria (sensitivity 81.8%, specificity 98.9%).ConclusionMost undifferentiated/asymptomatic individuals with ANA do not progress to a SARD over a two‐year period. SLE progressors appear to have mild disease in the short term. The EULAR/ACR SLE criteria have improved ability to identify those who develop SLE.

AbstractDeferred diabetic skin healing is an ever‐growing complication owing to the hyperglycemic microenvironment, which accelerates the generation of advanced glycated end products (AGEs) and provides a hotbed for pathogenic infection. Here, the H2S‐evolving bio‐heterojunction enzyme (BioHJzyme), which is consisted by MXene/FeS2 and glucose oxidase (GOx) is devised. It presents glutathione peroxidase (GPx)‐ and peroxidase (POD)‐mimetic antibacterial activity for anti‐pathogens and wound regeneration by AGEs depression. The GOx catalyzes glucose, resulting in reducing the bacterial nutrient and supplying H2O2. The POD‐mimetic activity of the BioHJzyme catalyzes the H2O2 to hydroxyl radical (•OH) with a turnover number of 4.45 × 10−1 s−1, while the GPx‐mimetic activity of it consumes glutathione for further •OH accumulation. The anti‐pathogens can be enhanced by near infrared laser (NIR) irradiation owing to the efficient separation of electron‐hole pairs originated from the heterostructure, which presents NIR‐activatable •OH and 1O2 production. Moreover, the BioHJzyme evolves H2S in acidic environment, acting as an H2S donor, which protects cells around the wound from oxidative damage and AGEs, rescues mitochondrial respiration, improves the extracellular matrix deposition and ameliorates dysfunction of fibroblasts for diabetic skin regeneration through TGF‐β/Smad pathway. The work provides a proof‐of‐concept for bacteria‐invaded diabetic wound regeneration via H2S‐evolving BioHJzyme.

AbstractHeterojunction engineering has been deemed one of the most promising strategies for promoting charge separation and improving solar‐to‐chemicals efficiency. Howbeit, constructing well‐defined nanoheterojunction with superior photocatalytic activity for H2O2 generation and a clear reaction mechanism remains a formidable challenge. Herein, an in situ vulcanization way to synthesize an intriguing 2D/1D Bi3TiNbO9/Bi2S3 heterojunction by growing Bi2S3 nanorods on Bi3TiNbO9 microsheet is used for the first time, where an S‐scheme charge transfer mechanism is formed that facilitates the spatial separation of charge carriers. Moreover, the in situ grown Bi2S3 on Bi3TiNbO9 can optimize the interfacial electronic structure and the reaction energy barriers. As a result, the H2O2 yield rate for Bi3TiNbO9/Bi2S3 can reach 810(2) µmol g−1 h−1 without any sacrificial agents and cocatalysts, ≈6.18 and ≈18.0 times of pristine Bi3TiNbO9 and Bi2S3, respectively. Importantly, the heterojunction unveiled unprecedented stability, remaining ≈95.46(2)% of the initial one after 13 continuous cycles. This work highlights an innovative in situ vulcanization strategy to engineer oxide perovskite/metal sulfide nanocomposite catalysts for artificial photosynthesis of H2O2, opening new opportunities for achieving highly efficient photocatalyst systems.

AbstractReliable, non‐invasive, continuous monitoring of pulse and blood pressure is essential for the prevention and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, the pulse wave varies drastically among individuals or even over time in the same individual, presenting significant challenges for the existing pulse sensing systems. Inspired by pulse diagnosis methods in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), this work reports a self‐adaptive pressure sensing platform (PSP) that combines the fully printed flexible pressure sensor array with an adaptive wristband‐style pressure system can identify the optimal pulse signal. Besides the detected pulse rate/width/length, “Cun, Guan, Chi” position, and “floating, moderate, sinking” pulse features, the PSP combined with a machine learning‐based linear regression model can also accurately predict blood pressure such as systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure values. The developed diagnostic platform is demonstrated for highly reliable long‐term monitoring and analysis of pulse and blood pressure across multiple human subjects over time. The design concept and proof‐of‐the‐concept demonstrations also pave the way for the future developments of flexible sensing devices/systems for adaptive individualized monitoring in the complex practical environments for personalized medicine, along with the support for the development of digital TCM.

AbstractThe development of theragnostic nanosystems integrating FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) imaging and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of lung tumors is still a big challenge. Herein, a peptide‐assembled 3D DNAzyme motor nanodevice is engineered for a self‐powered FRET amplifier profiling human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and self‐supplied H2O2 enhancing CDT. The nanodevice is prepared by depositing AuNPs on ZIF‐8, in which ZIF‐8 co‐loaded the lysosomal targeting peptide‐modified copper peroxides (PCPs) and hairpins (H1, H2, and H3), AuNPs are co‐labeled by DNAzyme‐peptide (DP) conjugate and H3. In the tumor micro‐environment, HNE driven 3D DNAzyme walker followed by an exponential amplification constructed by a synergistic cross‐activation between hybridization chain reaction and DNAzyme, generating a self‐powered FRET amplifier. The FRET amplifier specifically measures HNE with a sensitivity of 0.026 pM, and successfully images exogenous HNE in living cells and monitors HNE in mouse models. Moreover, the PCPs can target lysosomes, reducing lysosome escape. The self‐supplying H2O2 undertaken by PCPs improves the Cu (II)‐catalyzed Fenton‐like reaction, effectively causing cell apoptosis to inhibit tumor growth. Significantly, the nanodevice successfully screens inhibitors and discriminates the HNE level in normal and lung cancer tissues, suggesting that the nanodevice provides an effective tool for the diagnosis and treatment of lung tumors.
