Cardiac Disease Diagnosis Using K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm: A Study on Heart Failure Clinical Records Dataset
Authors: Stefane Souza Vitória , Araújo Lima Danielli 
Published: April 2024

This article introduces an approach to diagnosing heart diseases utilizing the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm and diverse correlation filters for selecting the most pertinent attributes. Results highlight that meticulous filter selection enhances survival predictions in patients with heart diseases. Employing K = 5 and correlation filter CF = 0.1, key attributes for classification were identified as anemia, high blood pressure, serum creatinine, and sex. Omitting the “time” attribute led to information loss but was crucial to prevent biases and generalize predictions across various clinical scenarios. Utilizing these classification parameters, we designed an Android mobile application called “Heart Info System,” functioning as an artificial intelligence service. It employs the KNN algorithm with optimal parameters to evaluate the probability of survival in the progression of heart disease. The main activity of the application retrieves data from a Firebase database. While the study results show promise, the accuracy of the application may be influenced by inaccurate or incomplete input data. Nevertheless, this application has the potential to improve the early detection of heart diseases, paving the way for life-saving interventions.

Abstract. In water-limited areas, planted trees can extract substantial amounts of soil water from deep layers (> 200 cm) to meet their high water demand, resulting in deep soil desiccation, which influences not only regional water cycling but also the sustainability of trees per se in drylands. However, the specific dimensions of deep soil desiccation in relation to both the soil moisture limitation and the maximum root water uptake (RWU) depth are still not well determined. Whether the dimensions depend on tree species and how they will affect trees' xylem hydraulic conductivity are also unclear, restricting our ability to predict the fate of dryland tree plantations. Therefore, we studied the spatiotemporal distribution of deep soil moisture deficit (DSMD) for two typical planted trees, apple (Malus pumila Mill.) and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), based on published data and multiple field samplings on China's Loess Plateau. The results indicated that the lowest deep soil moisture (DSM; units of gravimetric percent, i.e., grav-%) occurred under the planted trees aged 24–28 years at all sites. The lowest DSMD varied around −0.6, which was close to the DSMD at the permanent wilting point (PWP, grav-%), regardless of tree species and site, although shallow (< 200 cm) soil moisture was not reduced to the point of limitation. This suggests that PWP is a reliable indicator of the moisture limitation of deep-layer soil desiccation for the tree species examined. The corresponding depth of soil moisture use reached 18.0–22.0 m for these old planted trees at different sites, while it was more than 25 m for R. pseudoacacia in the drier site of Mizhi. Furthermore, the mean values of native percentage loss of hydraulic conductivity of planted trees' branches xylem reached 74.9 %–96.5 % in the plantations sampled in this study, indicating that tree mortality may occur. The findings help predict the sustainability of planted trees in semi-arid regions with a thick vadose zone.

PURPOSE. To study the influence of the illuminance level of test objects on the resolution of the visual analyzer in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and assess the possibility of using the obtained results for early diagnosis of these eye diseases.METHODS. Visual acuity (VA) under controlled illumination conditions (from 50 to 400 lx) of test objects was assessed using the developed device in three groups: in 50 healthy subjects aged 37.08±10.19 years without ophthalmic pathology (group A), in 50 patients with early (Ia and IIa) stages of POAG aged 47.16±8.28 years (group B) and 50 patients aged 46.08±4.56 years (group C) with dry form of AMD (initial stage).RESULTS. With an increase in the illumination of test objects (IT) from 50 to 400 lx, the VA of healthy individuals significantly increases on average by δ=0.32 (from 1.0±0.22 to 1.32±0.24, p<0.01), while in POAG the increase in VA with an increase in IT is much less pronounced, averaging δ=0.12 (from 0.9±0.20 to 1.02±0.26, p<0.05). At the same time, starting from IT 150 lx and above, the differences between the values of VA in the control group and in the group of patients with POAG of the initial stages become significant (p<0.05). VA of patients with AMD with increasing IT practically does not change, remaining at a stable level: δ=0.04 (from 0.76±0.20 to 0.80±0.26, t=0.66, p>0.5). At the same time, the VA values in this group of patients for each illumination level are significantly lower (p<0.05) than the corresponding VA values in the control group (group A).CONCLUSION. The revealed regularities can be used for early diagnosis of the pathological process: an increase in VA at the maximum level of IT relative to the initial value by less than δ≤0.2 indicates pathology of the optic nerve (POAG), and the absence of significant changes in VA with an increase in IT (minimum values of δ) is characteristic of the pathological process in the macula (AMD).

Анемия – это клиническое состояние, частота которого увеличивается с возрастом. Это серьезный фактор риска с неблагоприятными исходами, включая госпитализацию и смертность. В популяционных исследованиях частота анемии у пожилых людей составила 16,8% у женщин и 17,5% у мужчин, но 30,7% у мужчин в возрасте 85 лет и старше. Целью исследования было выявить наиболее важные патофизиологические аспекты, ответственные за заболеваемость анемией у пожилых людей и их лечение. Был использован Pubmed, и мы провели поиск наиболее важных исследований, проведенных за последние 10 лет по анемии у пожилых людей. После комплексной и стандартизированной оценки учитывались только исследования, в которых точно определялись патофизиология и лечение анемии у пожилых людей. Правильное понимание патофизиологии позволяет врачам применять наилучшие терапевтические стратегии.

Authors: Макаров Е.П. 
Published: April 2024

В статье анализируется политическое и общественное развитие американских колоний Великобритании в XVIII века, обусловленное наличием видимых центробежных и центростремительных сил колониальной политико-экономической системы. Важнейший для колоний вопрос прав и свобод рассматривается в контексте социально-политической и культурной консолидации американских провинций и их постепенной радикализации до начала Американской войны за независимость. Исследование концентрируется на изучении роли и места локальных политических структур в процессе роста самосознания американского общества, а также отдельно выделяется место религиозных свобод и вопросов веры в жизни населения британской Америки.
The article analyzes the political and social development of the American colonies of Great Britain in the XVIIIth century, determined by visible centrifugal and centripetal forces of the colonial political and economic system. The most important issue of rights and freedoms for the colonies is considered in the context of the socio-political and cultural consolidation of the American provinces and their gradual radicalization before the start of the American War of Independence. The study focuses on the analysis of the role and place of local political structures in the process of the growth of the self-awareness of American society, it also highlights the place of religious freedoms and issues of faith in the life of the population of British America.
European Monarchs in the Assessment of the British in the Late 50s and 60s of the XIXth Century
Authors: Гелла Т.Н. 
Published: April 2024

Статья посвящена анализу деятельности представителей правящих монархических европейских дворов, презентуемых на страницах британских периодических изданий в конце 50-х и 60-х гг. XIX в. В центре внимания исследования ‒ монархи Франции, Пруссии, Австрийской и Российской империй. За исключением Пруссии, три другие страны представляли собой империи со специфической для каждой из них формой правления. Анализ публикуемой в журналах информации о жизни и деятельности монархов этих стран способствует пониманию процесса формирования у средневикторианского англичанина имперского менталитета сквозь призму образа «другого». В качестве источников выступили публикации в британских периодических изданиях различной политической направленности.
The article is devoted to the analysis of the activities of representatives of the ruling monarchical European courts, presented on the pages of British periodicals in the late 50s and 60s of the XIX century. The research focuses on the monarchs of France, Prussia, the Austrian and Russian Empires. With the exception of Prussia, the other three countries were empires with a form of government specific to each of them. The analysis of information published in magazines about the life and activities of the monarchs of these countries contributes to understanding the process of formation of the imperial mentality in the Middle Victorian Englishman through the prism of the image of the “other”. The publications in British periodicals of various political orientation were used as sources.

Authors: Salman Zainab A. 
Published: April 2024

An autoimmune condition called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is caused by long-term inflammation. Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis results in nephropathy and other internal symptoms, including death. The current study set out to look at the relationship between serum amyloid A (SAA) levels in circulation and SLE patients. Methods: Sixty SLE patients and 30 healthy with age range (19-55) yearswere involved in this study. A SLE patient wasidentified in the teaching hospital in Baghdad. In this study, laboratory indicators such as blood lipid, kidney function, test results, and total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), SAA, and ALB were assessed using an automated biochemical analyzer. Results: Patients with active SLE had serum amyloid A (SAA) values 5.83 mg/L [IQR: 2.08–10.87], 4.92 mg/L [IQR: 1.57–11.43], and 1.33 mg/L [IQR: 0.13–3.12], respectively, substantially upper than personswith inactive SLE or healthy control subjects (P < 0.001). ESR values in healthy control subjects, patients with inactive SLE, and patients with active SLE. In conclusion, the current study's findings offered more proof of SAA's potential involvement in SLE and suggested that it might be valuable biomarkers that could reveal more details about the disease's activity.
Peer Critiquing in Scientific Inquiry: Enhancing Preservice Teachers' Reasoning, Epistemic Knowledge, and Scientific Argumentation through Innovative Teaching Strategies in an Undergraduate Science Content Course
Authors: Namakula Esther Kataate , Akerson Valarie L. 
Published: April 2024

The study explored the impact of peer critiquing on preservice teachers' understanding of the nature of science, scientific inquiry, and argumentation in an undergraduate science content course. The aim was to investigate innovative teaching strategies that enhance preservice teachers' comprehension of these key aspects. This study showcased implementing these strategies in which the preservice teachers actively critique and evaluate each other's work, fostering a culture of constructive feedback and reflection. Data were collected from 38 preservice teachers from three data sources that included a group argumentation of an assigned environment scenario of the endangered species, a peer critique of a video presentation of the scientific explanation of an individual environmental science topic, and finally a peer critique on someone else’s scientific inquiry study that could either be observational or experimental. To achieve this goal, we used the class activities to incorporate new ideas within the classroom by documenting the preservice teachers’ practices as they reflect upon their peers’ practices. While video critiques indicated a general competency, there was a need for further development in analyzing scientific concepts. The final class critiquing session demonstrated preservice teachers' self-awareness and understanding of the importance of relevant research in scientific inquiry. Peer critiquing activities positively impacted preservice teachers' reasoning skills, as evidenced by their ability to construct well-reasoned arguments and analyze empirical evidence. By examining preservice teachers' experiences and outcomes, we seek to provide valuable insights and recommendations for educators striving to enhance preservice teachers' understanding of the nature of science and scientific inquiry through peer critiquing.
