The purpose of research is to develop a hybrid neuro-fuzzy classifier for remote monitoring of the severity of community-acquired pneumonia, taking into account the risk of concomitant diseases.Methods. To assess the severity of community-acquired pneumonia and determine the effectiveness of its treatment plan, a hybrid neural network is included in the hybrid neuro-fuzzy classifier, which contains three macrolayers: PNNFNN-FNN*. The number of decisive blocks of the PNN macrolayer is equal to the number of segments allocated in the space of informative features, and the output of each PNN block produces risk and non-risk assessments of communityacquired pneumonia by severity clusters. Aggregation of decisions made over N segments of the space of informative features is carried out in the FNN layer, which has the structure of a fuzzy decision-making module. The aggregation of 2L PNN-FNN outputs occurs in the FNN* macrolayer. The same macrolayer takes into account the influence of comorbidity on the severity of community-acquired pneumonia.Results. The testing of a hybrid neuro-fuzzy classifier of the severity of community-acquired pneumonia was carried out on an experimental group of patients with community-acquired pneumonia with comorbidity in the form of coronary heart disease. Indicators of the quality of classification of the severity of pneumonia taking into account the risk of comorbid disease using the example of coronary heart disease showed that the aggregation of the classifier of the severity of community-acquired pneumonia and the classifier of the risk of comorbid disease in the form of a hybrid neuro-fuzzy classifier makes it possible to improve the quality of assessing the severity of community-acquired pneumonia by more than 10% for all quality indicators.Conclusion. A hybrid neuro-fuzzy classifier, built on different pattern recognition paradigms, makes it possible to identify clusters of disease severity and improve the quality indicators for classifying the severity of community-acquired pneumonia in the presence of comorbidity by an average of 12%.

The purpose of the research is to develop a system of biomechanical investigation of the volume of movement in the foot and ankle joint for the diagnosis of patients with cerebral palsy in assessing the quality of rehabilitation measures. The process of creating a computer diagnostic system for patients with impaired motor functions of the lower extremities, which is equipped with special bio-measuring devices provided with specialized algorithms for processing the information obtained, is investigated due to the need for scientific research aimed at developing methods and tools for a comprehensive assessment of the results of physical rehabilitation using biomedical indicators.Methods of kinematic analysis of movements in the ankle joint were used, dynamic and static analyses of the forces of the supporting reactions of the foot of the lower extremities were carried out.Results. A motion detection system based on an electronic goniometer implemented on the basis of a B10K resistive potentiometer has been developed. The determination of the absolute rotation angles of the links of the diagnostic system was carried out using the MMA7361 acceleration sensor, which contains three micromachine capacitors mounted on one silicon plate. In the course of research, changing the capacitances of micromachine capacitors makes it possible to fix the recorded value in each direction. Signals passing through low-frequency filters and temperature compensation cascades are sent to the corresponding outputs X, Y and Z. The obtained angulograms allow us to evaluate the gait of the studied patient in two classes ‒ normal and in the presence of pathology.Conclusion. A system for the formation and evaluation of bioelectric signals obtained using the muscular apparatus of the foot of patients with cerebral palsy, assembled on the platform of the Arduino UNO control board and a generalpurpose personal computer, has been developed. The developed system makes it possible to register bioelectric signals with their subsequent processing using a personal computer and making diagnostic decisions.
Method of Diagnosis of Glaucoma Based on Human Fundus Images
Authors: Komkova S. V. 
Published: January 2024

The purpose of the research to develop a technique for detecting glaucoma, which is based on calculating the size ratio of the optical cup and optical disc and the "four quadrants" rule. Their use increases the accuracy of glaucoma detection in human retina images.Methods. A glaucoma detection technique is proposed that uses the ratio of the vertical diameter of the cup to the vertical diameter of the disc and the "four quadrants" rule as the two main parameters for the detection of glaucoma. The optic nerve disc (OD), the ocular cup (OCH) are segmented using the area extension method and the watershed method, and then combined to obtain the final results. Their union is performed using the logical operation OR. The resulting images are approximated using circular approximation, since its implementation is simple by calculating a single center and radius. For diagnostics, it was decided to use two parameters: the ratio of the cup and the disc (OCD) and the rule of "four quadrants". Their combined assessment makes it possible to increase the accuracy of glaucoma detection.Results: the study of the proposed technique was performed on retinal images obtained from 4 databases: HRF, DIARETDB1, DRIONS-DB, Messidor. The study showed that the proposed technique correctly identifies 75 retinal images as glaucoma out of 84 with a total sensitivity of 91.67%. Of the 163 normal images, 154 were correctly classified as normal with a specificity of 94.47%.Conclusion. The proposed method is simple and computationally efficient. It can be effectively used in computer diagnostics of glaucoma in the early stages of the disease.

PETALS: The Aestheticisation of Death in Sylvia Plath’s “Edge” and in the Illustrations of Adriaan van de Spiegel’sFrucht in Mutter Leibe
Authors: Ciobanu Estella 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis article investigates the aestheticisation of death in Sylvia Plath’s poem “Edge” in relation to other poems by her and marginally by Seamus Heaney and Charles Baudelaire, and to the short story “The Oval Portrait” by Edgar Allan Poe. Such aestheticisation, I contend, partakes of the spirit of the anatomical illustration of early modern tracts such as the joint volume by Giulio Casserio and Adriaan van de Spiegel, and of western culture’s necrophilia.
Grammatical Number from an Ecological Perspective, Focused on the “Here-Now-I-Real”
Authors: Sadanobu Toshiyuki 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article shows, using the example of number agreement, that an ecological perspective with a focus on the situation of the utterance (i.e. here-now-I-real) is an effective way to understand differences in grammar among individual languages and to identify commonalities above and beyond such differences. On the surface, English and Chinese would appear to be exact opposites in terms of whether or not they conform to the rule of number agreement, while the position of Japanese would appear to be ambivalent on this question. But in fact this is not the case. Numerous languages around the world are consistent in the way number distinction is more likely to arise the higher the subject’s position on the animacy hierarchy. Chinese and Japanese are no exceptions. Leaving aside differences in individual circumstances, languages differ only in the boundary lines on the animacy hierarchy where number distinction becomes obligatory. In order to reach the above understanding, it is essential to see animacy from an ecological perspective. Furthermore, an ecological perspective is essential as a principle for explaining levels of not only animacy but also self-expressiveness, esteem, and transitivity. The prevailing view of language as separate from the situation of the utterance requires considerable revision on the subject of grammar.i

Published: January 2024

AbstractThis article explores soil classification methods and the influence of using dispersing agents in various amounts for the soil particle size analysis. Laboratory testing with different dispersing agents was conducted to analyze the effects of sodium hexametaphosphate and lithium carbonate for two different soils with plasticity indices indicating one to be with low plasticity (PI = 8.23 %) and the other one with high plasticity (PI = 39 %). The article highlights differences in the granulometric fractions reported for each soil and usage of the same dispersing agent but in various amount. Thus, the classification of soils is influenced by the amount of the used dispersing agents, recommendations of standards being different in time and countries. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the anticipated behavior of fine soils and provide useful insights for various geotechnical applications.

Abstract
In recent decades, cities have faced numerous problems related to the accelerated process of urbanization, which leads to ecological, spatial and social consequences. At the same time, globalization destroyed productive activities and created structural problems related to unemployment. For these reasons, cities are trying to attract new and growing industries that will provide jobs and enable the physical and economic regeneration of cities. One of the activities that increases employment and enables the urban regeneration of certain city zones is tourism. Urban tourism at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century, with the process of globalization and the use of shorter vacations by tourists, experienced an expansion in the number of visitors, as well as the number of urban destinations. Urban destinations, as powerful financial, traffic, political, trade, etc. centers, in addition to cultural, architectural, construction, artistic, historical and environmental heritage, provide diversity and quality of tourist offer, completed by organizing congresses, professional gatherings, sports fairs, etc. Large world agglomerations, as the most important destinations of urban tourism, are visited annually by several million tourists.

Abstract
To overcome the human-induced threats impacting on ecosystems, managers should focus on priorities. Here, we applied the expert-based Threat Analysis (TAN) in a forest urban park (Northern Italy), involving experts which ranked local threats, from the more to less impacting and following the IUCN classification. We also evaluated the level of knowledge of operators about these threats. Experts identified five priority target-specific threats: Roads and Railroads; Invasive-Non Native/Alien species; Other Ecosystem modifications; Recreational Activities, and Storms and Flooding. Storms and Flooding and Invasive-Non Native/Alien species appeared the threats with significant highest magnitude. Knowledge of threats is comparable without significant difference among them. However, Storms and Flooding and Roads and Railroads are the threats having both the highest level of knowledge by experts and the highest magnitude. At the opposite, Mowing was the less known threat regarding its regime and showed the lowest magnitude. TAN approach should be routinely used to build conceptual frameworks, ranking threats from the more to less impacting, therefore optimizing the management effort and developing local projects.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The paper aims to study the distribution and communities of two giant hogweed species Heracleum mantegazzianum and H. sosnowskyi in Ukraine. This research was motivated by strong invasive trends, risks for native vegetation and a lack of data on giant hogweeds in Ukraine. We presented phytosociological tables of giant hogweeds communities, maps of their modern distribution in Ukraine, a dendrogram of similarity of the communities, phytoindicative evaluation, and proportions of diagnostic species in the syntaxa. According to our survey and literature data, there are 102 locations of H. mantegazzianum and 405 locations of H. sosnowskyi throughout most of Ukraine, except for the steppe zone, where the limiting factor is the arid climate. The amplitudes of both studied Heracleum species have a significant overlap in the factors of humidity, nitrogen, and salt regime. There are differences between the species in the factors of light, temperature and continentality. The amplitudes of the studied species are the widest for moisture and the narrowest range for soil acidity. Both species favour soils enriched in nitrogen. Based on the phytosociological survey, the species forms two distinct associations Urtico dioicae-Heracleetum sosnowskyi and Urtico dioicae-Heracleetum mantegazzianii and also occurs with lower abundance in communities belonging to 8 vegetation classes. The obtained data can be used to carry out preventive measures against the further spread of giant hogweeds in new habitats with varying degrees of anthropogenic transformation.

El cultivo de tomate en el Ecuador, se considera un producto de la canasta básica familiar. Sin embargo, es altamente susceptible a plagas como la negrita (Prodiplosis longifila), de gran importancia económica, debido a su nivel de infestación y presencia en cualquier época del año ya sea en campo abierto como protegido, con pérdidas de hasta 50%. El objetivo fue determinar alternativas de control sobre Prodiplosis longifila, a través de medios biológicos en el cultivo de tomate. La investigación fue de tipo experimental. Se utilizó un diseño factorial con 2 factores el primero los porcentajes de biol y el segundo relacionado a los productos a base de ingredientes orgánicos, los datos fueron analizado con Andeva y la prueba de Tukey al 5% de probabilidad estadística. Se evaluaron variables como número de brotes afectados por planta e insectos vivos, número de frutos por planta, peso de fruto, rendimiento por hectárea y análisis económico. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que aplicar Phytosect, T2 insecticida de origen biológico a partir de esporas de Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae y Verticillium lecanii, mantuvo la menor infestación (brote enfermo) minimizando el ataque de la negrita, y coadyuvando a la obtención de un producto con menor carga de pesticida. Este tratamiento además tuvo una rentabilidad económica del 2.05 muy similar al testigo químico, lo que lo convierte en una alternativa potencial que ayude a lograr una producción de tomate más saludable y con precios accesibles para el consumidor final.
Chrześcijanin akatolik szafarzem sakramentu chrztu w świetle prawodawstwa Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego. Aspekt historyczno-ekumeniczny
Authors: Klimkiewicz Daniel 
Published: January 2024

„Bracia odłączeni” autorytatywnie zostali uznani za szafarzy chrztu już w trzecim wieku, przez papieża Stefana I (254-257). Pomimo to jednak możliwość pełnienia przez wymienione osoby funkcji szafarzy tego sakramentu była wielokrotnie podejmowana i komentowana przez prawodawcę kościelnego w ciągu kolejnych stuleci. Celem zatem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie zagadnienia uznawania chrześcijan akatolików za szafarzy chrztu w prawodawstwie Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego w ujęciu historyczno- ekumenicznym. W tym celu został poddany analizie materiał prawny, dotyczący interesującej nas kwestii, od prawa przedkodeksowego do aktualnie obowiązujących norm zawartych w Kodeksie prawa kanonicznego z 1983 r., jak i w Dyrektorium ekumenicznym z 1993 r.
The “separated brethren” were authoritatively recognized as ministers of baptism as early as the third century, by Pope Stephen I (254–257). Nevertheless, the possibility of these persons performing the functions of ministers of this sacrament has been repeatedly taken up and commented on by the ecclesiastical legislator over the following centuries. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present the issue of recognizing Catholic Christians as ministers of baptism in the legislation of the Roman Catholic Church in a historical and ecumenical perspective. To this end, the legal material of interest to us has been analyzed, from pre-code law to the norms currently in force contained in the Code of Canon Law of 1983 and in the Ecumenical Directory of 1993.

Published: January 2024

Background:
Pediatric glioblastoma multiforme (p-GBM) is an exceptionally rare and aggressive brain tumor, with even fewer reported cases with radiographic and intraoperative characteristics that mimic those of extra-axial lesions, often posing a diagnostic challenge. Despite advancements in imaging technologies, the diagnosis of GBM can still be intricate, relying primarily on histopathological confirmation.

Case Description:
We present a unique case of a 15-year-old female who presented to our hospital with a new-onset focal-to-bilateral tonic-clonic seizure described as clonic movements of her left hemicorps; on clinical examination, a subcutaneous mass was evident in the right parietal region. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a sizable extra-axial enhancing mass measuring 9 cm, located in the right parieto-occipital region with notable bone invasion. Moreover, the intraoperative findings revealed an extra-axial mass attached to the dura. Total en bloc resection was achieved. The histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme. Subsequently, the patient underwent adjuvant radiotherapy in conjunction with temozolomide chemotherapy. Postoperatively, she exhibited clinical improvement and remained stable throughout the 6-month follow-up period.

Conclusion:
We present the first case of extra-axial p-GBM in a young patient, which remarkably led to the destruction of the bone and finally resulted in a sizable parietal subcutaneous lesion in the absence of prior surgery or radiation.
