A Quantized Minimum Kernel Risk Hyperbolic Secant Adaptive Filtering Algorithm
Authors: Yuanlian Huo , Zhiling Hu , Yongfeng Qi , Jie Liu 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The proposed algorithm in this paper is the Quantized Minimum Kernel Risk Hyperbolic Secant Adaptive Filtering Algorithm, which offers a simplified approach to enhancing the performance and stability of kernel adaptive filtering in non-Gaussian noise environments. The algorithm features a newly developed Minimum Kernel Risk Hyperbolic Secant Cost Function, which harnesses the hyperbolic secant function’s strengths to diminish outlier impacts and expedite convergence. In addition, its convex kernel risk-sensitive loss surface facilitates swift and accurate filtering via gradient-based methods , thus ensuring outlier robustness. This method could effectively manage network size and reduce computational complexity by incorporating vector quantization for inputting spatial data. Simulation tests in Mackey-Glass time series prediction and nonlinear system identification have indicated that the Minimum Kernel Hyperbolic Secant Adaptive Filtering Algorithm and its quantized variant excel in terms of convergence speed, robustness, and computational efficiency.

Published: December 2023

Background
Novel internet-based applications and associated technologies have influenced all aspects of society, ranging from commerce and business to entertainment and health care, and education is no exception. In this context, this study was designed to evaluate the impact of a dermatology e-learning program on the academic performance of medical students in dermatology.

Objective
The aim of this study is to develop a dermatology blended-learning course for undergraduate medical students, evaluate the knowledge gained by students exposed to this course, and compare the results to those of traditional teaching methods.

Methods
In this prospective study, we evaluated the performance of fourth-semester medical students at the Federal University of Bahia, Brazil. Students who had been in their second year of the medical course in 2019 were considered the control group, while students in their second year in 2020 were considered the blended or hybrid group. The first group attended traditional classes, using printed material (books and handouts), while the second group used our web-based course and e-book as a supplement in a hybrid web-plus-traditional fashion. Neither participants nor evaluators were blinded. The students in both groups were subjected to the same pre- and postcourse face-to-face, multiple-choice, paper-based evaluations, and we compared their performances. The content of the classes was the same for both groups. All didactic activities were developed by a team of certified dermatologists and professors from the university.

Results
A total of 129 students were selected and divided into 2 groups: the control group (n=57) and the hybrid group (n=72). The precourse tests did not indicate any difference between the control group (mean score 2.74, SD 1.25) and the hybrid group (mean score 3.2, SD 1.22 SD; P>.05). The hybrid group had better final-term grades (mean 8.18, SD 1.26) than the traditional group (mean 7.11, SD 1.04). This difference was statistically significant (P<.05).

Conclusions
This study explores pedagogical possibilities in the field of dermatology teaching for medical school students. The results suggest that the performance of undergraduate students who attended the course with additional e-learning material was superior when compared to the performance of those who participated in the traditional course alone.

Published: December 2023

The hilly area of Gunung Wungkal, with its fluvial-volcanic plains and denudational hill landforms, has a relatively compound historical-culture in the form of archaeological, historical, and ethnographic potentials. This research is aimed to identify the archaeological, historical, and ethnographic potentials in the area and the formation of the archeological landscape. Quantum-GIS mapping software was applied to spatially analyze the intended area. This research shows that the hilly landscape of the Gunung Wungkal has been spatio-temporally shaped by the occurrence of archaeological remains, historic events, ethnographic perception, as well as the characteristic of local geomorphology. Two landform units are recognized to have different roles. The denudational hills landform is used as a sacred space, while the fluvial-volcanic plains is functioned as communal spaces. In addition, water springs are an important factor of the landscape that greatly influences the formation of the community landscape. Apart from being natural resources, they are also cultural resources that give rise to myths and legends.

Published: December 2023

In Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population of 237.55 million people, the increasing Muslim population in Jambi city has driven the demand for halal products, particularly halal food and beverages, which are essential needs for the Muslim community. Therefore, this research aims to examine the influence of halal certification, production processes, and raw materials on consumer purchasing intentions towards food and beverage products from Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME). MSME are considered as a highly potential research subject in this study as they contribute to the economic livelihood of the community in Jambi city. The research methodology employed in this study is Multiple Linear Regression, with a sample of 100 respondents and data analysis conducted using Eviews 10 software. The findings of this research confirm that halal certification and production processes significantly influence consumer purchasing intentions towards food and beverage products from MSME. However, the variable related to raw materials does not have a significant impact when analyzed separately. Therefore, MSME engaged in food and beverage production should obtain halal certification, pay attention to their production processes, and consider the quality of their raw materials to enhance consumer purchasing power for their products.

EVALUATING NPF OF MURABAHA SETTLEMENT STRATEGY: PERSPECTIVE OF RISK MANAGEMENT AND DSN MUI'S FATWA
Authors: Mulia Rika , Said Rafli Ridha  , Fithriady  
Published: December 2023

Non-Performing Financing (NPF) is one of the indicators in evaluating bank performance. Financing products with murabaha contracts are one of the products that dominate the Islamic banking industry where the percentage of its NPF will also affect profits. This study examines the strategy implemented by one of the Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Area Office in Aceh Province towards Murabaha NPF from two perspectives, risk management and Fatwa DSN-MUI using a descriptive approach. The results conclude that in handling NPF, banks begin with negotiation/mediation approach, then gradually rescheduling, restructuring, reconditioning, execution of collateral/auctions and litigation. Those steps are in accordance with risk management concept in terms of preventing NPF and consistent with Fatwa DSN-MUI in terms of NPF settlement. However, among the obstacles are bad character debtors so that the settlement process will take a long period of time and keep being suspended. This is certainly a significant viewpoint for banks that educating and socializing the management of financing must be explained from the beginning and ensure that debtors understand all related applicable bank regulations.

Published: December 2023

The article deals with the issue of increasing the efficiency of spending local budgets. Such a study is relevant in modern conditions, when the own budget revenues of the vast majority of municipalities do not cover the costs, and many local budgets receive more than half of the funds from higher budgets. Given the difficult socio-economic situation that has developed in recent years, the search for tools, methods and directions for optimizing local budget expenditures is becoming a priority.The purpose of the study is to determine the areas of spending budget funds, measures aimed at optimizing which could bring the greatest effect. The result of the work was the identification of the most “typical” (classical) municipalities (in the context of each of their main types), the structure of expenditures of which is similar to the average structure of municipal budgets, determined on the basis of an analysis of the entire sample. Based on the subsequent analysis, the main elements of the budget costs were identified, the work on which could bring the greatest savings. All this is supplemented by optimization measures and proposals for the main areas of spending, determined on the basis of the results of scientific literature analysis, the use of which will significantly increase the efficiency of budget expenditures.

Authors: Grindem C. B. , Corbett W. T. , Tomkins M. T. 
Published: December 2023

Summary
A seroepidemiologic survey for Haemobartonella felis infection in cats of Wake County, NC was undertaken. To help assess risk factors, cat owners completed a 10-item questionnaire. Additionally, blood samples were obtained for determination of H fells presence, FeLV infection, and anemia. Prevalence rates for H felis presence were as follows:all cats, 4.9% (61123); healthy cats, 3.6% (3/83); and ill cats, 7.5% (3/40). The estimated relative risk for haemobartonellosis was also increased in cats with any of the following: anemia, FeLV-positive status, lack of vaccinations, history of catbite abscesses and/or anemia, age ≤ 3 years, or outdoor-roaming status. The sex, breed, number of cats in the household, or presence of fleas were not significant factors, although ill male cats had a greater estimated relative risk for haemobartonellosis.

Published: December 2023

Summary
Feline leukemia virus status and antibody titer to feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen (focma) were determined on plasma from 183 outpatient cats and 61 cats from 2 closed, FeLV-positive, multiple-cat households. Cats with focma antibody titer had a significantly (P < 0.02) higher prevalence of history of disease than did cats without focma antibody. Diseases included upper respiratory tract infections, abscesses, ear infections, lower urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal disease, pneumonia, uterine infection, lymphadenopathy, fever of unknown origin, and bacterial infections. The focma antibody titer was determined by use of an indirect fluorescent antibody test; titer ≥ 1:16 was considered to be positive results. Lower mean focma antibody titer was observed in young cats with history of disease (P < 0.05) than in young cats without history of disease or in older cats with or without history of disease. Prevalence of focma antibody titer was identical (38%) in young and adult cats, indicating cats likely were exposed to FeLV as kittens because a higher prevalence of focma antibody titer in older cats would otherwise be expected.
Epizootiologic evaluation and quantitative analysis of urinary calculi from 150 cats
Authors: Ling Gerald V. , Franti Charles E. , Ruby Annette L. , Johnson Deedra L. 
Published: December 2023

Summary
One hundred fifty specimens of urinary calculi from 150 cats were analyzed by at least 1 of 4 quantitative methods. Struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) was the predominant mineral substance encountered, with 104 (69%) of the calculi being composed entirely of struvite and 23 (15%) being composed partially of struvite. Most (93%) of the calculi were located in the urinary bladder. Growth of bacteria was observed in samples from calculi or urine from 30 (41%) of 74 cats. Coagulase-positive staphylococci were isolated from the urine or calculi from 17 cats (45% of bacteria isolated). Ten other bacterial species were isolated. Median and mean ages of the cats were 5.0 and 5.1 years, respectively. Domestic shorthair and domestic longhair breeds predominated. Fifty-seven percent of the calculi came from females, 43% from males. The distribution by gender did not differ significantly (P > 0.2) among the 3 groups (domestic shorthair, domestic longhair, and other). However, the distribution of struvite calculi differed significantly (χ2 = 15.5, P < 0.001) by age and gender; among cats ≤ 2 years of age, males predominated 2:1 over females, and among cats > 2 years of age, females predominated by nearly 3:1 over males. When compared with the general population, females > 2 years old were significantly (χ2 = 15.4, P < 0.001) overrepresented.

Published: December 2023

Summary
A study of 26 dogs (examined consecutively) with infiltrative subcutaneous neoplasms (mastocytoma, n = 11; soft tissue sarcoma, n = 13; and adenocarcinoma, n = 2) was conducted. Dogs were evaluated by physical examination, survey radiography, ultrasonography (US), and x-ray computed tomography (CT) prior to surgical excision of the tumor. The purpose of the evaluation was to accurately define gross neoplastic margins before surgical excision and to determine whether a difference could be observed between routine clinical staging (physical examination and survey radiography) and more detailed clinical staging (US and CT imaging). The clinical stage of 5 of 26 neoplasms assessed by US and of 17 of 26 neoplasms assessed by CT was determined to be more advanced because of previously undetected neoplasia, greater neoplastic size, or greater tissue invasiveness. Preoperative imaging of infiltrative subcutaneous neoplasms, using US and CT, is highly recommended to accurately determine gross neoplastic margins.

Published: December 2023

Summary
Twenty-nine California dairy herds were studied over a 12-month period from 1988 to 1989 as part of the National Animal Health Monitoring System. Monthly interviews administered to dairy producers were used to measure the costs of all health-related expenditures and disease incidence in these herds. Of the total $1,523,558 reported, $1,355,467 (89%) was attributed to cost of disease events and $168,091 (11%) to cost of disease prevention. Most (78%) of the cost of disease events was attributable to death and culling losses. Veterinary services accounted for only $54,099 (4%) of total costs, 64% of which was used for disease prevention, compared with 36% for disease treatment. Udder disease was the most costly category of diseases reported at an average of $49.85/head at risk annually, followed by reproductive problems at $38.05. Through the use of sampling strategies less biased than those used in other surveys, the National Animal Health Monitoring System is designed to provide statistically-valid estimates of disease incidence and costs across broad geographic areas, potentially benefiting all those interested in the economics of livestock diseases in the United States.
Evaluation of craniotomy in dogs and cats
Authors: Niebauer Gert W. , Dayrell-Hart Betsy L. , Speciale John 
Published: December 2023

Summary
Over a reporting period of 5 years, craniotomy was performed in 26 dogs and 5 cats with various intracranial lesions. X-ray computed tomography was performed in all animals prior to surgery. Twenty dogs and all cats had intracranial neoplasms; of these, 14 were meningioma, and 11 represented a wide variety of brain tumors and skeletal tumors. Three dogs were treated surgically for traumatic, open-skull fractures with cerebral damage, and 3 underwent biopsy to evaluate chronic inflammatory brain disease. The overall median survival time was 212 days, the 1-year survival rate was 39%, and the 2-year survival rate was 20%. Dogs and cats with meningioma survived a mean 198 and 485 days, respectively, with 1-year survival rates of 30% for dogs and 50% for cats. The overall median survival time for animals with tumors other than meningeal intracranial neoplasms was 414 days, with a 1-year survival rate of 40%. The death of 19% of all animals could be related to the combination of advanced brain disease and surgery. Because fatality seldom occurred as a direct result of surgery, morbidity and mortality associated with craniotomy in pet animals can be seen as acceptably low. In 29 of 34 craniotomies, dura mater defects were left unsutured and no adverse effects were seen.
