Exploring Personal Expressions Toward Homelessness Through Material, Surface Exploration, and Mixed Media Artwork: Integration of Information Systems in Creative Practices
Authors: Yeow Lin Shan  
Published: February 2025

This research explores the personal expression of homeless individuals through the artist’s use of materials and surfaces, with a focus on conveying the experience of homelessness in Georgetown, Penang. The primary objective is to determine how different materials can effectively evoke emotions and narratives associated with the homeless condition, enabling personal expression through artistic practice. Art-based research is employed, combining non-participatory observation and reviews of existing artworks. The Panofsky model, which emphasizes intrinsic artistic value, is used to analyze the meaning behind the materials. The research includes studio investigations, where various mediums and surfaces are experimented with to express the emotions and lived experiences of homeless people. The exploration of texture and composition aids in finding the right materials to reflect personal narratives. For theory, this research contributes to the understanding of how materiality in art serves not just an aesthetic function but also a communicative one.
Scientific Analysis of Various Computational Intelligence Methods used for Weather Forecasting
Authors: Umesh Kumar  
Published: February 2025

Numerous studies in the field of weather forecasting have been conducted since technology started to develop in order to better understand how to manage weather by employing the appropriate kind of forecasting. This work is an evaluation report of facts and figures from the literature on weather forecasting incorporate with machine learning(ML), and deep learning(DL) models. Meteorologists, scientists, and researchers have created a wide range of designs, models, simulation systems, and prototypes to increase prediction accuracy. The first portion examines the literature on previous weather forecasting work, the application of numerous ML and DL models for weather forecasting along with the associated challenges. The second Section is all about the analysis description and drawbacks of current DL weather forecasting models. Several flaws were discovered following the study of prior models. The most common concerns are that running several equations simultaneously which are non-linear in nature requires a significant amount of computer resources and takes a long time to process. computer using Data-driven modeling techniques can be used to reduce the complexity of earlier models. ML and DL, in particular, can more accurately reflect a physical process's nonlinear or intricate underlying features.
Intelligent Corporate Bankruptcy Prediction: A Data-Driven Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Bhavika Nemade  
Published: February 2025

Over the past few decades, corporate bankruptcy has become a source of concern for various business stakeholders such as investors and management. It has also piqued the interest of researchers worldwide. Because there are so many variables that contribute to bankruptcy, it is insufficient to rely solely on a single predictive model; instead, the difficulty is in pinpointing the crucial elements that carry the greatest weight. The significant class imbalance in the data is another significant obstacle that impairs the model's functionality. While many methods, such as Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines, Neural Networks, etc., have been studied before with various pre-processing approaches, we advance this research by applying a novel combination of a Random Forest feature selection technique and BORDERLINE-SMOTE hybrid resampling technique on Polish Bankruptcy dataset. We next apply five classifiers to the altered data: Random Forest, Decision Tree, XGBoost, CatBoost and AdaBoost, and assess the effectiveness of each model. As a result of our suggested approach, provides Random Forest classifier with the highest accuracy of 94% using optimal prediction based on voting principle.
Can Students Outrun Stress? Exploring the Interplay of Resources, Choices, and Demands to Achieve Quality Education
Authors: Megha Mohan  
Published: February 2025

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of individual predictors on students' stress and their academic, demands, non-academic demands, and the resources that are available to them, including emotional intelligence, personal resilience, academic workload, and family expectations. Furthermore, the aim is to comprehend the intricate dynamics of stress in the educational setting for Sustainable development Goals for Quality education and recognize possible interventions and support systems. The application of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) for hypothesis testing is employed to investigate the correlations between the stress of the students, their demands and the Resources available to them. Students with a better understanding of stress, those in high-stress environments, and those who are aware of the factors that contribute to their stress all reported lower stress levels, possibly due to increased knowledge and coping skills. Furthermore, strong personal resilience, emotional intelligence, and positive social support networks were linked to reduced stress. Higher academic workload, examination anxiety, and family expectations, on the other hand, were found to be associated with increased stress. Interestingly, the study found no significant link between mindfulness practices, access to mental health services, and institutional support systems.
DE QUOI PARLE-T-ON LORSQUE L'ON PARLE DE TRAMWAY EN FRANCE ?
Authors: Arnaud PASSALACQUA  
Published: February 2025

À de rares exceptions près, les principales agglomérations françaises sont aujourd'hui toutes équipées d'un système de tramway, qui parcourt les espaces les plus symboliques de villes au patrimoine bâti parfois exceptionnel. La place magistrale qu'occupe ce système sur l'espace public, au sein des projets politiques ou dans les représentations urbaines contraste avec l'état de délabrement au propre comme au figuré dans lequel se trouvaient les transports collectifs du début des années 1970.

Ce fort décalage mérite une analyse sur le temps long. Il est le signe que l'objet considéré ne peut être compris comme un simple système de transport qui aurait modernisé une offre d'autobus à bout de souffle. Le succès du tramway, sur différents plans, doit se voir comme celui d'un objet aux multiples acceptions et qui a su se combiner avec des dynamiques convergentes en dehors du monde des mobilités urbaines.

La France s'est ainsi dotée d'une école nationale du tramway au sens où elle a développé, depuis deux décennies, un art particulier de conception et de réalisation de ces projets qui se sont déployés dans ses agglomérations les plus importantes. Une partie de ce travail s'est opéré sur le thème du retour du tramway. Signe d'une première époque, sur laquelle une analyse doit être faite, sans tomber dans la téléologie. Quelle relation les agglomérations françaises ont-elles construites avec ces premiers tramways ? Pourquoi et comment les ont-elles démantelés ? Quelles ont été les dynamiques à l'origine du développement d'une nouvelle vague, dite de tramways modernes ? Ces derniers sont particulièrement intéressants de par les facettes multiples qu'ils présentent, derrière un visage qui pourtant semble plutôt uniforme d'une ville à l'autre. De quelle nature relève un tel projet ? S'agit-il d'un projet de transport ? Ou d'aménagement urbain ? Ou d'une volonté des élus de voir incarner une politique publique ?

Cet article propose donc d'analyser ces diverses dimensions pour tenter de comprendre le tramway tel qu'il s'est imposé en France au- delà de l'objet lui-même. Il mobilise aussi bien des éléments historiques sur la définition d'une politique industrielle nationale destinée à réagir à la dépendance énergétique de la France des années 1970, qu'une analyse de la diffusion de cette solution de transport en termes de circulation des modèles techniques comme de controverses. Il s'intéresse également au tramway comme projet politique particulièrement adapté au nouveau contexte décentralisé issu des lois de 1982-1983 ainsi qu'au jeu des intercommunalités. Enfin, le tramway doit également être compris comme intégrateur de politiques publiques sectorielles, du transport à l'aménagement, de la rénovation urbaine à l'action culturelle.

Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that attachment priming plays an important role in fostering insecure people's explicit prosocial attitudes. However, whether it exerts the same effect on implicit prosocial attitudes remains unclear. Two studies were conducted to examine the impact of attachment priming and mental depletion on insecure participants’ implicit altruistic attitudes. In Study 1, participants (N = 100) were primed under 3 conditions (secure priming, positive priming, and neutral priming) before completing an Implicit Association Test assessing altruism. Results indicated that security priming, rather than positive or neutral priming, increased attachment anxious participants’ implicit altruistic tendency, and this effect was not significant in participants with high avoidance. In Study 2, participants (N = 124) were involved in a 2 (attachment name priming, acquaintance priming) ×2 (high mental depletion, low mental depletion) experimental design. The results supported the finding of Study 1 and, more importantly, further revealed that avoidant participants under attachment priming exhibited an implicit altruistic tendency in a high mental load condition. These findings extended the research on attachment priming to the implicit level and have practical implications for avoidant people to improve implicit prosocial tendency.

Abstract
One way to pass on our own causal understanding about how a physical system works is to provide a verbal explanation about it, raising the question of the role of explanations in the transmission and evolution of technology. Here we address this question by conducting new analyses on the data collected in 3 previously published microsociety studies, in which participants organized into transmission chains had to improve a technology. In 3 of the 6 conditions reported, the participants were also asked to generate verbal explanations about how the technology works. In 1 of these conditions, these explanations were transmitted to the next participant. Our results indicated that the participants improved the technology and gained a better understanding of it over generations, although they were unable to elaborate on its hidden causes using scientific language. When the explanations were analyzed as instructions, we did find an increase in the quality of the explanations over generations, which was linked to participants’ causal understanding. However, this increase had no direct impact on the transmission of the technical content. These findings open interesting avenues for future research on the role of explanation in the evolution of technology and raise the question of whether (explanation-based) teaching is an opportunity for the teacher to increase their own causal understanding.
“Intensive bronchial dilation test”: a modified method For evaluating airway reversibility
Authors: Yang Yujuan , Tang Ningbo , Sun Yuemei , Liu Liping , Wang Jianwei , Yu Pengyi , Cao Jiayu , Zhang Yu , Song Xicheng 
Published: February 2025

Background:
A negative bronchial dilatation test (BDT) does not fully reflect the status of airway irreversibility in patients with severe obstructive or mixed ventilation dysfunction due to severe bronchospasm, mucus blockage, or insensitivity to bronchodilators, which will directly affect the subsequent diagnosis and treatment of those patients.

Objective:
We retrospectively examined the feasibility of using the “intensive bronchial dilation test” (IBDT) for excluding false-negative BDT.

Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 82 patients with severe obstructive or mixed ventilation dysfunction in the Allergy department of Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital of Qingdao University. After the BDT, they all inhaled the triple atomized drugs (2 mg salbutamol, 1 mg budesonide, and 0.25 mg ipratropium) every 20 minutes in one hour and the lung function test was performed 15 minutes later, which was named as IBDT. All patients received another lung function test after 2 to 4 weeks of regular anti-inflammatory treatment. We compared the improvement of lung function indexes and the proportion of patients with reversible airway obstruction between BDT, IBDT, and 2 to 4 weeks of treatment groups.

Results:
The lung function indexes were significantly improved after the IBDT than those after the BDT (all P values < 0.01) and the number of patients with reversible airway obstruction significantly increased from 31 to 61 after the IBDT (P < 0.001), but the proportion of patients with reversible airway obstruction after the IBDT did not differ from that of patients with reversible airway obstruction after 2 to 4 weeks of treatment. The accuracy and sensitivity of the IBDT in evaluating airway reversibility reached 91.46% and 89.71%, respectively, both of which were significantly higher than for the BDT (54.88% and 45.59%, respectively).

Conclusion:
Our finding suggests that IBDT can more accurately and rapidly evaluate airway reversibility in patients with severe obstructive or mixed ventilation dysfunction when compared to BDT.

The best method and material for sutures to use while closing wounds are still unknown. This study aimed the results of this trial to determine which method works best and should be recommended as hospital policy. Objectives: To compare outcomes of simple interrupted versus continuous closure techniques using no.1 polypropylene sutures for emergency midline laparotomy wounds regarding frequency of wound dehiscence. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted after obtaining approval from the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan over six months from June 2024 to December 2024. 104 emergency midline laparotomy patients were recruited from the Surgical Department of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore. Patients were divided into 2 groups A, continuous suture closure and Group B, simple interrupted suture closure. Postoperatively patients were observed for wound dehiscence. Data were analyzed using SPPS version 26.0. The occurrence of dehiscence was compared among groups using the chi-square test. Results: Wound dehiscence was found to be higher in Group A as compared to Group B. Group A: 21.1% vs. Group B: 11.5%, and p-value=0.185. Gender and Body mass index had no significant association with wound dehiscence in study groups. However, among the younger age group patients’ frequency of wound dehiscence was significantly higher while among the elderly age group, no significant difference was obtained. Conclusions: It was concluded that results of this study showed no significant difference for wound dehiscence for simple interrupted suture compared with versus continuous closure techniques using polypropylene suture for patients who underwent emergency midline laparotomy.

Authors: Yavuz Demiray Derya , Ege Ferhat 
Published: February 2025

Objectives: This study aimed to demonstrate the change in pain intensity, frequency of attacks, and life quality before and after treatment in patients with chronic migraine who underwent greater occipital nerve (GON) pulsed radiofrequency (PRF).
Patients and methods: This prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with 30 patients (1 male, 29 females; mean age: 43.7±9.8 years; range, 26 to 64 years) with chronic migraine diagnosed according to the beta version of the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders. Patients who did not respond to conventional treatments were enrolled in the study. The PRF procedure on the proximal GON at the C2 vertebra level was performed under the guidance of ultrasound at 5 Hz and 5 msec pulsed width for 360 sec at 45 V. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS), pain frequency (per week), analgesic consumption frequency (per week), and the SF-12 (12-item Short-Form Health Survey) were used to compare pain intensity and quality of life (QoL) before and three months after treatment.
Results: There was significant decrease in pain frequency (5.5 to 2.0), analgesic consumption frequency (7.0 to 2.0), and VAS scores (9.0 to 7.0) three months after the intervention compared to baseline (p<0.001). At the end of the first month, 17 patients reported more than 50% reduction in pain. In this study, a prominent improvement was observed in mental and physical components of QoL scores, indicating that disability rates of chronic migraine patients decreased with PRF compared to pretreatment.
Conclusion: According to the results, PRF can be considered an effective treatment option in patients with refractory chronic migraine.

Published: February 2025

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the frequency and characteristics of a rare variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), isolated bilateral facial paralysis (iBFP), and the impact of the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic on the frequency of GBS and iBFP.
Patients and methods: This retrospective study reviewed 1,986 patients who were hospitalized, followed up, and treated between March 11, 2020, and August 11, 2023, and included 32 patients (22 males, 10 females; mean age: 51.6±19.3 years; range, 18 to 87 years) diagnosed with GBS in the analyses. Additionally, information was obtained from hospital records regarding admission dates, length of stay, age, sex, and diagnoses of patients admitted between January 1, 2019, and March 11, 2020, and five patients diagnosed with GBP were identified during this period.
Results: Eleven patients presented with facial paralysis, and iBFP was observed in five (15.6%) of them (4 males, 1 female). In iBFP patients, albuminocytological dissociation was detected in three cases, and the anti-GD1b IgG antibody was detected in one case. Electromyography findings of iBFP patients showed bilateral facial nerve involvement in only two cases, bilateral facial nerve involvement along with multiple A waves in other peripheral motor nerves in two cases, and facial nerve involvement along with AIDP findings in one case. The incidence of GBS was notably higher compared to the 15-month period before the COVID-19 pandemic (0.29% vs. 1.6%).
Conclusion: The frequency of iBFP was found to be higher than expected in our inpatient GBS patient group. It was noted that these patients were not associated with a specific anti-ganglioside antibody and had a good prognosis.
