Optimization of General Threshold Value for Preprocessing in Plasmodium Parasites Detection
Authors: Nugroho Hanung Adi , Nurfauzi Rizki 
Published: December 2023

The high mortality rate of malaria makes it a severe disease that spreads throughout all-region by infected female Anopheles mosquitoes, especially in tropical countries. Accurate early malaria detection is one of the ways to reduce the mortality rate. Microscopy-based malaria examinations are still considered the gold standard. Due to numerous large malaria patients with limited parasitologists, an automated detection system is needed as a second opinion to assist parasitologists. This study proposed an optimization method for finding an optimal global threshold value for pre-processing parasite detection. There were three stages of the proposed method. The first is to pre-process digital microscopic images using color channel selection, contrast stretching, and morphological operation. The second is to find the global threshold value using multiple modified Otsuâ€™s. The third is to determine the optimum global threshold value. In the last stage, predicted threshold values are generated using a pattern recognition approach to determine the optimum global threshold value. The proposed method evaluated 468 microscopic images captured from hundreds of thin smear blood slides. The slides are provided by the Department of Parasitology-UGM and the Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology. The set image contains 691 malaria parasites in all types and life stages of malaria parasites. The proposed method obtained a sensitivity of 99.6 % and the smallest FPs number compared to without the optimization.Â It indicates that the proposed method has the potential to be implemented in the initial stages of the malaria detection system.

Abstract

Background: The potential for a pandemic to trigger an increase in the malnutrition crisis in 2020 is that 132 million people suffer from hunger and 370 million school-age children do not receive adequate food, as well as 6.7 million The potential for triggering a pandemic triggering a malnutrition crisis in 2020 is that 132 million people suffer and 370 million school-age children do not get enough food, and 6.7 million neglected children in addition to 2019 before the pandemic 47 million children are deprived and 14 million children stunting. The problem of malnutrition is caused by environmental factors (insufficient sanitation and drinking water sources), inadequate health services, low knowledge of maternal nutrition, and poor feeding practices. The purpose of the study was to analyze environmental factors with the incidence of stunting in children under five based on the results of internationally published health research.
Method: The research design is a literature review, by conducting a literature search through international journal articles from 2018-2022 regarding stunting in toddlers. Correlation research articles used cross sectional, case control and cohort studies. The research population is all research articles in published journals regarding the analysis of environmental factors with the incidence of stunting in toddlers through the ScienceDirect, Biomed Central, PubMed, SAGE journals, ProQuest and Google Scholar databases, while the sample is the relevant articles.
Results: The incidence of stunting is still high in Indonesia with a prevalence rate of 19%-61.8%, mostly caused by environmental factors including sources of drinking water, sanitation facilities and latrines as well as hygiene practices.
Conclusion: Environmental factors are factors related to the incidence of stunting in toddlers.

A Case of Hip Chondrosarcoma Metastasis to the Right Ventricle
Authors: Cherukumudi Amulya , Bhagyashree R. , Hebbale Ramesh C. , Varadaraju R. 
Published: December 2023

Background. While primary cardiac tumors occur rarely, it is observed that cardiac metastases are almost 20 times more common. These are, however, observed during autopsy and seldom missed in living patients. Patients with cardiac metastases present commonly with dyspnea on exertion or pleuritic chest pain. Most common site of intracardiac metastases is right atrium.
Case presentation. Here we present a case of a 21-year-old male who presented for a routine check-up to the cardiac outpatient department for assessment of fitness for chemotherapy. He was a known case of right hip chondrosarcoma for 2 years, being treated with Ayurvedic medications. He had no symptoms related to the respiratory or cardiac system. He was afebrile during the examination, however, was restricted to a bed due to the pain in his right hip. On evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with a right ventricular thrombus extending to the pulmonary artery (PA) causing an impending pulmonary embolism. On opening the right atrium and PA, we found a loose, whitish-grey mass, adherent to the right ventricular papillary muscle, entangling the chordae. The tricuspid valve leaflets were also found to be tethered to this mass. The mass was found to extend to the PA beyond the leaflets, however, the leaflets were free of the tissue. The mass was extracted piece-meal through right atrium and PA approach. Histopathology revealed metastatic chondrosarcoma tissue.
Conclusion. Cardiac metastases of chondrosarcoma are a rare condition, and can be often asymptomatic. Such patients often present with dyspnea, and imaging may not be able to rightly identify the cause. A high index of suspicion is necessary in patients with a known current or prior malignancy before committing to surgical intervention.

Published: December 2023

The aim. To assess the effectiveness of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in the treatment of sternal infection following heart surgery.
Materials and methods. During 2019-2022, six patients aged from 46 to 69 years underwent NPWT for sternal infection which occurred within 2 to 24 weeks after complete median sternotomy. For the purpose of temporary wound closure, standard dressing kits with sorption sponge were used. Negative pressure was created by electric vacuum pump with a constant vacuum mode at a range of -75 to -115 mm Hg and a duration of 4-5 days per session. In all cases determination of serum procalcitonin, bacteriological examination of wound discharge, computed tomography (CT) of the chest were performed in dynamics.
Results. The study revealed that NPWT in all cases promoted wound cleansing, gradual closing of fistulas and non-grooving pockets, termination of inflammatory process, reduction of the wound cavity, thus accelerating complete wound healing. A significant reduction in the level of wound contamination was revealed after the first NPWT session (below the critical level of 103 CFU), compared to that before treatment (107-108 CFU). Normalization of the level of procalcitonin in the blood serum was determined by day 5-7 of NPWT. CT showed the signs of sternum stability and reduction of inflammatory process in surrounding tissues after treatment. Each treatment case required from 2 to 4 sessions. The duration of hospital stay ranged between 25 and 35 days. A treatment case of one of the 6 patients included in the study is described.
Conclusions. NPWT has proven to have positive clinical effect in the local treatment of postoperative sternal infection and can be applied as an ultimate or a transitional option. Methodology of its clinical application needs further elaboration.

Published: December 2023

Each case of fragment injury to the heart is unique and requires careful diagnosis and surgical intervention. In some cases, the diagnosis of fragment injury to the heart and mediastinum is delayed. This is due to the fact that some penetrating and non-penetrating injuries to the heart may go unnoticed, due to the poor clinical presentation and the absence of significant damage to the chest, which may not be noticed on examination.
The aim. To present a case of a flechette wound of the heart and to explore the peculiarities of clinical manifestations, diagnostic findings of instrumental tests, and surgical treatment methods.
Material and methods. The article provides an analysis of methods of diagnosis and surgical treatment of a patient diagnosed with mine-explosive fragment penetrating wound of the chest with the presence of a foreign body (flechette) in the heart. In addition to the medical history, such research methods as computed tomography, X-ray examination, echo-cardiography, as well as laboratory tests were used for the diagnosis. Median sternotomy was used to perform the opera-tion to remove the fragment. The operation was performed on the fibrillation heart with the cardiopulmonary bypass.
Results. Due to the absence of a pronounced pain syndrome, significant damage of the skin, and signs of intense bleeding as a result of an explosive injury, doctors did not suspect a heart injury. Discomfort and tingling sensation in the area of the apex of the heart required computed tomography of the chest. As a result, an oblong metallic fragment was found in the wall of the right ventricle of the heart. Surgical treatment with the cardiopulmonary bypass enabled to remove the fragment, which turned out to be a flechette.
Conclusions. The external signs of a mine-explosive injury may not always correspond to the danger to the human body that may be caused by modern damaging agents. Only a carefully collected medical history, alertness of medical staff and proper use of radiological investigative methods can promptly identify the consequences of a mine-explosive damage, including the detection of potentially dangerous fragment locations, and provide the necessary medical assistance to the injured soldier.
Memory of Communist Crimes in Croatia and the Influence of the European Culture of Remembrance
Authors: Pauković Davor 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Dealing with various aspects of 20th century history still poses a significant challenge to Croatian society. This also includes dealing with the socialist period. In the last fifteen years, propelled by the Eastern enlargement (2004, 2007), the EU has developed a common European memory of the totalitarian and authoritarian regimes of the 20th century, including communism. This article analyzes the impact of a common European culture of remembrance on Croatian commemorative culture, especially remembrance of communist crimes. The analysis will include the political discourse of selected mnemonic actors and commemorative practices. In 2011, the Croatian Parliament passed a law to commemorate the European Day of Remembrance of Victims of All Totalitarian and Authoritarian Regimes every August 23. However, the article argues that a shared European memory had only limited success on Croatian debates and conflicting narratives on communist crimes and the socialist period. The main reason is the dominantly antagonistic mode of remembering and representing of the communist period in Croatia.

The rank-and-file employees of the subject social health insurance corporation (SHIC) should comprehensively understand its program and services as they are expected to provide timely, accurate, and relevant information to the members. This study was conducted to determine the awareness of employees on the programs and services of a SHIC in the Philippines. It focused on three aspects: membership, contribution, and benefits availment. This study also looked into the top queries received by employees and the channel or medium of communication where they primarily received the information. This descriptive-quantitative research used a structured questionnaire distributed to the 186 SHIC employees (Job Grades 5-10) in the different sectors of the corporation. Findings revealed that SHIC employees are generally somewhat aware of the three aspects of SHIC's programs and services. It was also found that the level of awareness of employees does not vary across job grade classifications. The most frequent inquiries received by SHIC employees revolved around membership processes such as ID/MDR issuance, membership registration, updating of dependents, and understanding benefits and deductions. Lastly, official social media platforms, meetings, interaction with colleagues, and direct communication from SHIC representatives were the organization's primary sources of information. The recommendations forwarded in this study can enhance SHIC's services aligned with its mission of providing accessible and affordable healthcare in the country.

Published: December 2023

The thyroid gland plays a pivotal role in maintaining overall health, making the accurate diagnosis of thyroid diseases crucial. In this study, we propose an innovative approach to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of thyroid diseases through the integration of the Emperor Penguin Optimization Algorithm (EPO). EPO, inspired by the efficient foraging behavior of emperor penguins, offers a unique optimization strategy for feature selection and model tuning in medical diagnostics. By employing EPO, we optimize the selection of relevant diagnostic features and fine-tune the parameters of machine learning models.
Our experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in diagnostic accuracy compared to traditional methods. The EPO-enhanced Thyroid Disease Diagnosis model achieves superior performance, ensuring a higher true positive rate and a lower false positive rate. This promising outcome suggests that EPO can be a valuable tool in the development of more accurate and reliable diagnostic systems for thyroid diseases, potentially leading to early detection and improved patient outcomes.
Our approach achieved an impressive accuracy rate of 99.7 % when tested.

Угорська монета широко відома у знахідках на території України, в той час як ретельне вивчення особливостей її обігу досі перебувало поза увагою науковців, спорадично висвітлювалися лише окремі питання. Мета дослідження. Ввести в науковий обіг та проаналізувати нумізматичний матеріал, виявлений археологами під час розкопок руїн церкви на території Ужгородського замку, що відбувались у період з 2018 по 2023 роки. Навести аналіз виявленого археологами нумізматичного матеріалу в контексті обігу угорської монети в Україні.
Висновки. Під час археологічних досліджень експедиція Ужгородського національного університету на території центральної нави Ужгородського замку виявила значну кількість монет Cередньовіччя та ранньомодерного періоду, в тому числі і тогочасні підробки. Найбільша кількість монет, виявлених археологами, відноситься до карбування королівства Угорщина. Офіційна монета в королівстві Угорщина була вперше випущена у Х столітті, хоча на території Закарпаття найдавніші угорські монети були зафіксовані за часів королів Коломана І Арпада (1095–1114) та Іштвана ІІ (1114–1131). На тепер можна стверджувати, що початок проникнення угорської монети на Закарпаття відбувся до кінця ХІ – початку ХІІ століття, в той час як власне монетне карбування в Угорщині тривало вже понад століття.
До кінця XIV століття у знахідках з українських земель рідко зустрічалися угорські монети, на відміну від польських, литовських та богемських монет, якій й перебували в обігу. У період між XV і XVI століттями на території Західної Європи почала з'являтися все більша кількість угорських денаріїв із зображеннями Богородиці, перші з яких почали проникати на наші землі з часів правління Матвія I Корвіна (1458–1490) та Владислава II Ягеллона (1490–1516). Монети королівства Угорщини із зображенням Богородиці у XVI столітті займали сильні позиції на монетному ринку Буковини, Бессарабії, Закарпаття та Галичини, а випуск монет цього типу тривав понад століття. За матеріалами розкопок Ужгородського замку виявлено денарій з образом Діви Марії емісії Рудольфа ІІ (1572–1608), Матвія (160 –1619) та Фердинанда ІІ (1618–1625) Габсбургів. З початком карбування монет від імені імператора Леопольда I Габсбурга (1655–1705) починається новий етап у грошовому обігу. Останніми угорськими монетами, знайденими на місці зруйнованої церкви, що на території Ужгородського замку, є дуаріуси Леопольда І Габсбурга 1702–1703 років, викарбувані у Кермениці.
Крім угорських монет різних володарів у знахідках з території церкви Ужгородського замку є й іноземні монети. Найціннішою та рідкісною монетою є срібний деньє графства Голландії, карбований за часів правління Флоріса IV, Вільгельма II та Флоріса V у 1222–1243–1256 роках.
Огляд нумізматичної колекції з церкви Ужгородського замку засвідчує, що вона відповідає хронологічному діапазону пам’ятки. Верхня її межа визначається початком XVIII століття, що якраз співпадає з часом руйнації храму. Нижня ж межа потребує певних уточнень.
