Review of different types of mountain springs and mineral waters from Bulgaria based on their natural origin and health benefits
Authors: Ignatov I. 
Published: December 2023

Mineral water has been renowned for its health benefits for over two millennia, with historical records indicating its use for rapid recovery and wound healing, especially among soldiers engaged in military activities. Over time, baths with mineral water became popular for therapeutic purposes. In the 19th century, analyses revealed that regions with mountains boasted many long-lived individuals and centenarians, with factors such as pure mountain water, fresh air, and quality food potentially contributing to longevity. This publication comprehen­sively reviews selected natural waters, including mineral and mountain waters. The author conducted extensive studies in Bulgaria from 2012 to 2019 involving 477 long-lived individuals and their brothers and sisters living in mountain and field areas. The investigation assessed their heredity, body weight, health, psychological status, tobacco smoking, phy­sical activity, food, and water consumption. Emphasizing the importance of medical prevention and care, the study sheds light on essential aspects of longevity today. One significant conclusion drawn from this research is the crucial role of balancing certain minerals in both water and food for human health and longevity. These minerals include Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Zinc (Zn2+), and Manganese (Mn2+). Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the physicochemical properties of water in longevity zones reveals lower calcium ions (Ca2+) levels compared to other regions, ranging from 6 to 20 mg.L-1. Notably, regions like Nova Scotia, Canada, known for supercentenarians for over 110 years, have water with such calcium levels. Similarly, longevity is observed in areas of Greece characterized by Mediterranean cuisine and mountain water. Water's physicochemical composition is significantly influenced by its natural filtration through rocks, which imbues it with beneficial minerals.

У цьому дослідженні детально розглядався вплив агресивного середовища на кольорові характеристики природного каменю. Об’єктами дослідження стали зразки облицювальних каменів, а саме: лабрадорит Кам’янобрідський, габро Букинське, гранодіорит Покостівський, і граніт Капустинський. Експерименти з визначенням змін кольору природного каменю проводилися при температурі 20 °C у агресивних середовищах, таких як гідроксид натрію (NaOH) з концентрацією 40 г/л, сірчана кислота (H2SO4) – 40 г/л, і амоній хлористий (NaCl) – 40 г/л. Загальна тривалість впливу становила 50 діб. Перед тим, як розмістити зразки природного каменю в агресивному середовищі, їх поліровану поверхню сканували за допомогою цифрового сканера. Також вимірювалася середня величина блиску полірованої поверхні за допомогою блискоміра БФ-3. Зразки природного каменю піддавалися впливу агресивних розчинів, і кожні 240 годин проводилися повторні виміри блиску та кольору. Перед кожним новим вимірюванням кольорових характеристик та блиску природного каменю їх ретельно промивали дистильованою водою і сушили. У випадку появи білих плям на поверхні каменю після висихання, їх уважно витирали вологою серветкою. Скановані цифрові зображення піддавалися обробці у спеціалізованих графічних програмах з метою отримання кольорових координат поверхні природного каменю. Оцінювалася середня величина колірної різниці за системою CIELab. За результатами проведених досліджень встановлено, що ключові зміни у кольорі облицювальних поверхонь каменю відбуваються протягом перших 30 днів (720 годин) для порід основного складу. Цей факт вказує на обов’язковість урахування даного періоду при плануванні робіт. Під впливом агресивних розчинів на породи основного складу, протягом 720 годин, найбільше зниження показників блиску спостерігається при взаємодії з кислим розчином, а саме на 26 одиниць, тоді як найменший вплив має сольовий розчин, зменшуючи блиск лише на 3,7 одиниці. У породах кислого складу сольовий розчин підвищує блиск на 3,3 одиниці.

Trajectory Tracking Control of a Mobile Robot using Neural Networks
Authors: Trujillo Darwin , Morales Luis A. , Chávez Danilo , Pozo David F. 
Published: December 2023

This paper presents a novel soft computing-based machine learning technique designed to enhance the trajectory tracking capabilities of mobile robots through the application of neural networks. The goal of this approach is to enhance the accuracy and overall performance of trajectory tracking without the need for manual gain recalibration, which is a tedious and time-consuming task for the designer when setting up the robot. This improvement is achieved by creating a kinematic controller based on neural networks, which are constructed using the kinematic model of the robot. In the initial phase, the controller requires gains defined by the designer. Subsequently, during the application phase, the backpropagation algorithm is used to dynamically adjust the gains of the neural network, aiming to minimize the closed-loop error. One of the key innovations introduced by this controller is the potential for automatic online gain tuning, thereby eliminating the need for a pre-learning phase, typically required by traditional neural controllers. To validate the effectiveness of this approach, the results are systematically analyzed and compared against those obtained using a conventional kinematic controller. Performance metrics reveal the improved precision in trajectory tracking achieved by the controller, with reduced effort, highlighting the performance enhancements in different trajectories.

Based on a grounded theory approach to healthcare professionals’ experience, this study conducted a qualitative assessment of new opportunities and provided a conceptual justification of forward-looking trends of global health system efficiency improvement and resilience toward universal health in the post-COVID-19 era. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, while theoretical saturation was reached after 20 interviews with international experts in Global Health System Resilience (psychologists, nurses, and community health consultants). The data were analyzed using four coding stages: initial, focused, axial, and theoretical. The results showed that to achieve global health system resilience toward universal health and safety coverage in the post-COVID-19 era, it is required to develop a strategy including the support of healthcare professionals, which allows coping with the emotional and psychological impact of the pandemic. Moreover, opportunities for professional development and collaboration can enhance their resilience and adaptability during and after crises. The findings suggest factors of global health system resilience ranked using the AHP method. The present research provides a valuable insight into the significance of telemedicine, remote care, and ensuring the safety of the healthcare industry and patients as the most crucial factors for enhancing health system sustainability. This article provides new policy recommendations to ensure the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of health systems. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-06-011 Full Text: PDF

Published: December 2023

Metaverse technology is one of the many technological breakthroughs in education, notably in the teaching and learning process in the classroom, especially since the COVID-19 epidemic. This study aims to investigate, model, and assess the potential adoption of metaverse technology from the viewpoint of BINUS University students. The study methodology that is employed is quantitative descriptive analysis. This research used Mozilla Hub's SPOKE to create the classroom simulation. Students are asked to use a laptop web browser and a Virtual Reality (VR) headset to replicate two scenarios from the metaverse realm. The variables used are comfort, convenience, compatibility, interest, and efficacy. The findings of this research indicate that a more significant number of participants, as much as 80% than fewer respondents (20%) were interested in employing VR (the Metaverse) for online teaching and learning using headsets. The novelty in this research is that academics can find out student behavior that they prefer to study using a VR headset compared to a regular laptop by opening a web browser. This can be a special note that the use of VR headsets in learning can increase interest in learning so that it is more effective in providing teaching material. Future work for this study is the application of this metaverse technology, which still requires work and development, as it still necessitates careful planning and consideration of a few factors, including security, infrastructure availability, and user comfort.

Published: December 2023

In a world where effective communication is fundamental, individuals who are Deaf and Dumb (D&D) often face unique challenges due to their primary mode of communication—sign language. Despite the interpreters' invaluable roles, their lack of availability causes communication difficulties for the D&D individuals. This study explores whether the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) could be a potential solution. The primary objective is to assist D&D individuals with computer applications that could act as mediators to bridge the communication gap between them and the wider hearing population. To ensure their independent communication, we propose an automated system that could detect specific Bangla Sign Language (BdSL) words, addressing a critical gap in the sign language detection and recognition literature. Our approach leverages deep learning and transfer learning principles to convert webcam-captured hand gestures into textual representations in real-time. The model's development and assessment rest upon 992 images created by the authors, categorized into ten distinct classes representing various BdSL words. Our findings show the DenseNet201 and ResNet50-V2 models achieve promising training and testing accuracies of 99% and 93%, respectively. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-06-019 Full Text: PDF
