Published: November 2023

В статье ставится задача рассмотрения процесса распознавания изображений с помощью сверточных нейронных сетей. Распознавание изображений — это ключевой компонент компьютерного зрения, который наделяет систему способностью распознавать и понимать объекты, места, людей, язык и поведение на цифровых изображениях. Системы с поддержкой компьютерного зрения используют алгоритмы распознавания изображений на основе данных для обслуживания широкого спектра приложений. В работе проведен анализ структуры рынка применения самых распространённых биометрических технологий в разных сферах бизнеса на отечественном рынке, а также сравнение с мировым рынком. Задача включает в себя рассмотрения сложностей, с которыми сталкивается машина при получении изображения для обработки, которые возможно отследить с помощью кривых обучения. Кривые обучения - отличный диагностический инструмент для определения смещения и дисперсии в контролируемом алгоритме машинного обучения. Поэтому понимание природы ошибок в обучении искусственного интеллекта в процессе распознавания изображений является необходимым знанием в современном мир, так как оно помогает избежать этапа повторного переобучения выборки.
DO CAOS A EX-SISTÊNCIA: UMA ABORDAGEM DA FILOSOFIA EXISTENCIALISTA
Authors: Alves Guimarães Ueudison , Macêdo da Silva Lima Raimunda 
Published: November 2023

Este artigo, tem por objetivo analisar a importância da Filosofia Existencialista, já que a ex-istência humana se tornara uma questão filosófica e é a partir das vivências, das escolhas que os sujeitos fazem ao longo de suas vidas, que é construída a essência humana. Dado os desdobramentos na inquietude do SER, em compreender as dimensões existenciais da vida, em virtude da angústia, do desespero, do absurdo, da facticidade, da autenticidade, da liberdade e da morte, debruçamos sobre a compreensão desses dilemas como necessários a evolução existencial. Além disso, abordaremos o papel da psicanálise e da psicoterapia nas abordagens da Filosofia Existencial. A relevância social deste trabalho se justifica pelo fato de estarmos vivenciando uma realidade mundial marcada pelos dilemas da ex-sistência, que tem afetado boa parte da população, principalmente dos jovens, que procuram encontrar o sentido da vida, carregando o peso da existência presente nos dilemas vivenciados, com a necessidade de projetar-se para o futuro, na busca de sentido e dimensão. Por outro lado, utilizou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica exploratória, por meio de artigos científicos, anais em revistas, informações jornalísticas e outros documentos legais que pudessem alicerçar os estudos. Em suma, as análises abordadas evidenciam uma necessidade urgente de compreensão da ex-sistência, como um processo fenomenológico e empírico, pois a base da proposta existencialista é analisar o ser humano em seu todo e não dividido em aspectos internos (sua mente, cognição e sentimentos) e externos (seu corpo, comportamento e ações).
KELL: A Kernel-Embedded Local Learning for Data-Intensive Modeling
Authors: Luo Changtong 
Published: November 2023

Kernel methods are widely used in machine learning. They introduce a nonlinear transformation to achieve a linearization effect: using linear methods to solve nonlinear problems. However, typical kernel methods like Gaussian process regression suffer from a memory consumption issue for data-intensive modeling: the memory required by the algorithms increases rapidly with the growth of data, limiting their applicability. Localized methods can split the training data into batches and largely reduce the amount of data used each time, thus effectively alleviating the memory pressure. This paper combines the two approaches by embedding kernel functions into local learning methods and optimizing algorithm parameters including the local factors, model orders. This results in the kernel-embedded local learning (KELL) method. Numerical studies show that compared with kernel methods like Gaussian process regression, KELL can significantly reduce memory requirements for complex nonlinear models. And compared with other non-kernel methods, KELL demonstrates higher prediction accuracy.

Sensory Processing Preferences in an Adult Acute Mental Health Setting: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Kozidis Stacia , Jacobson Jessica 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Importance: Sensory processing patterns may inform mental health diagnosis–specific treatment plans.
Objective: To compare sensory processing preferences of patients admitted with depression and substance use disorder diagnoses.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Acute inpatient mental health center.
Participants: Patients ages 18 to 64 yr with a primary diagnosis of depression or substance use disorder who completed the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP).
Outcomes and Measures: Comparison of AASP quadrant scores between subgroups.
Results: Participants (n = 211; M age = 33.8 yr) had a primary diagnosis of depression (n = 121; 57%) or substance use disorder (n = 90; 43%). The depression and substance use disorder groups yielded the following AASP quadrant scores, respectively: low registration, Ms = 38.2 and 34.3 (SDs = 9.4 and 8.0), p = .002; sensation seeking, Ms = 46.8 and 50.6 (SDs = 8.1 and 9.1), p = .002; sensory sensitivity, Ms = 43.4 and 39.8 (SDs = 10.3 and 9.9), p = .013; and sensation avoiding, Ms = 45.6 and 40.1 (SDs = 9.5 and 10.3), p &lt; .001. These differences persisted when scores were normalized against standard population scores. The majority with a primary diagnosis of depression ranked “more/much more than most” for low registration (69; 57.0%), sensory sensitivity (61; 50.4%), and sensation avoiding (79; 65.3%). Those with a primary diagnosis of SUD ranked most frequently as “similar to most” in all quadrants.
Conclusions and Relevance: Sensory processing preferences differ by primary mental health diagnosis and may provide insight into treatment planning.
What This Article Adds: This study identifies differences in sensory processing between patients with a primary diagnosis of depression and those with a primary diagnosis of substance use disorder, suggesting that clinical interventions should account for sensory preferences. Providing appropriate sensory experiences (sensory room, sensory boxes, etc.) may allow patients to function at an optimal level by improving their ability to self-regulate emotions and behaviors.

Synthesis, characterization of Ca (OH)2: TiO2 nanocomposite and evaluation of its antimicrobial efficacy
Authors: Hussein Taha Jenan 
Published: November 2023

Introduction and Aim: Root canal treatment is a dental operation that entails the extraction of the compromised tooth pulp tissue, sterilization of the root canal system, and subsequent filling with an inert substance. To mitigate the potential for bacterial infections and subsequent difficulties, it is customary for patients to receive a prescription for antibiotics prior to undergoing a root canal procedure. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Ca(OH)2: TiO2 nanoparticles as a potential substitute for antibiotics in root canal therapies, while also investigating their antibacterial properties against specific infections.

Materials and Methods: Ca (OH)2: TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized chemically using calcium hydroxide and varying concentrations of titanium oxide powder by a sol-gel process. The Ca (OH)2: TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized was characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR), and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized nanoparticles was evaluated against pathogens Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans spp.) by gel diffusion method.

Results: FE-SEM analysis indicated that the Ca (OH)2: TiO2 composite material exhibited an amorphous structure, characterized by a particle size measuring 25.88 nm. But FTIR was focused on the spectral region between 4000 and 450 cm-1. The absorption spectra of nanoparticles composed of titanium dioxide consistently displayed a prominent peak at a wavelength of 300 nm. The results of the experiment pertaining to the biological effects of composites suggest that the inclusion of TiO2 nanoparticles at concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 75% in the composite material led to a notably wider inhibitory zone in comparison to the use of Ca(OH)2 alone, with a statistically significant p-value of 0.05.

Conclusion: The use of varying concentrations of Ca (OH)2TiO2 improves microbial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Candida.

Published: November 2023

Introduction & Aim: Long-term diabetes mellitus (DM) is known to have a deleterious impact on bone health, resulting in change in bone mineral density, bone turnover, and bone quality, all of which increase the risk of fractures. The aim of. this study was to link immunological and pro-inflammatory cytokine (I.L-6, I.L-1, and TNF-alpha) markers in patients.with type 1 diabetes to Their connection to bones formation (sPINP) and bone resorption parameters (sCTX).

Materials & Methods: This study included 80 patients suffering from T1DM in the age range of 20-45 years. The patients were assayed for their biochemical (Vitamin D and HbA1c), Immunological (IL-6, IL-1 and TNF-alpha) parameters, as well as bone formation and resorption markers.

Results: HbA1c values were observed to be 7.5 in 85% of individuals, while vitamin D levels were 16 ng/mL. Correlation in patients with HbA1c 7.5. The results of a linear regression between I.L-6 and sCTX showed that there was an increase in sCTX for each unit of IL-6.

Conclusion: In patients with HbA1c levels 7.5, there is an association between IL-6, TNFalpha, and the bone resorption. TNF-alpha and IL-6 have been linked to metabolic control loss.

Introduction and Aim: Promotion of optimal usage of non-toxic materials, alternative energy sources, reusable products, minimising paper waste and negligible carbon footprints has brought eco-friendly dentistry in limelight. The aim of the study was to evaluate the awareness and practice regarding eco-friendly dentistry among private dental practitioners of Mangalore Taluk, South India.

Materials and Methods: A total of 104 Dental practitioners with a qualification of BDS/MDS, practicing dentistry were randomly participated in a study after obtaining institutional ethical clearance. A total of 30 item closed-ended self-designed validated questionnaires were provided among participants. Assessment of knowledge and practice of the participants were carried out under four sections 1) Radiographic waste management, 2) Biomedical waste management, 3) Amalgam management, and 4) Eco-friendly dental practice. Knowledge, attitude and practice of eco-friendly dentistry among all the dental practitioners were assessed using descriptive statistics and Fisher’s exact/chi -square test.

Results: Present study did not find any statistically significant difference in attitude, knowledge and practice among BDS and MDS dental practitioners, among male and female practitioners and among practitioners with and without 10 years of experience. 57% participants agreed to the fact that lack of awareness is a major barrier to implement eco- friendly dentistry at practice.

Conclusion: Conducting CDE programs, workshops, and seminars can bring change and foster a favourable attitude among dentists about transitioning from conventional to green dentistry. Governmental policies can be framed towards eco-friendly dental practice in order to implement green dental practice compulsorily by all the dental practitioners.
Assessing the effect of solvent extraction on the antioxidant activity of Polystichum acrostichoides and Adiantum lunulatum aerial parts: A comparative study
Authors: Sravani T. , Sunitha K. 
Published: November 2023

Introduction and Aim: Free radicals have been established detrimental effects on human health, mostly because of oxidative stress. Antioxidants are essential in reducing these effects and protecting cells from oxidative damage. As a result, there is rising interest in finding natural antioxidants. In this work, Polystichum acrostichoides and Adiantum lunulatum aerial parts, both widely utilized in medical systems for their therapeutic effects and as sources of free radicals, were examined to see how solvent extraction affected their antioxidant activity.

Materials and Methods: In both plants' methanolic and hexane extracts, the amounts of phenolic and flavonoid compounds were measured. Utilizing the ABTS, DPPH, and hydroxyl radical scavenging tests, the antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated.

Results: In both plant species, the methanolic extracts had higher phenolic and flavonoid contents than the hexane extracts. Notably, the ABTS, DPPH, and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays revealed that the methanol extract had the best antioxidant potency. On the other hand, there was no apparent antioxidant action in the hexane extracts.

Conclusion: The results suggest that the aerial parts of Polystichum acrostichoides and Adiantum lunulatum could be effective sources of antioxidants. In the ABTS, DPPH, and hydroxyl radical scavenging experiments, the methanolic extracts had reduced IC50 values, which indicated that they had considerable antioxidant activity. These results demonstrate the potential of these ferns in the creation of innovative treatments for a range of oxidative stress-related diseases.

Authors: Kaur Ravneet , Singh Anant Sarabjot , Singh Kuldip 
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Hansen’s (leprosy) disease is a worldwide healthcare problem, caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Dapsone (a synthetic sulfone), is an antibacterial agent, has both anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties for the treatment of all forms of leprosy. The goal of the study is to evaluate the effect of dapsone on HbA1C, methemoglobin and certain oxidative stress markers in young patients suffering with Hansen’s disease with and without diabetes.

Methodology: The study was conducted on 70 subjects in age group of 20-45 years. These subjects include 20 healthy subjects (Group 1); 35 non-diabetic Hansen’s patients on dapsone (100mg/day) treatment (Group 2) and 15 diabetic Hansen’s disease on dapsone (100 mg/day) (Group 3). The fasting blood samples were drawn for the evaluation of methemoglobin, HbA1C, malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione and total antioxidant activity from all the groups.

Results: A significant increase in methemoglobin and malondialdehyde was noted in Group 2 and 3 patients with reference to healthy control subjects (Group 1) while the levels of reduced glutathione, HbA1C and total antioxidant activity were notably reduced in investigated Group 2 and 3 compared to Group 1. A similar trend of significant increase in methemoglobin and malondialdehyde levels in Group 3 with respect to Group 2 and significant fall in glutathione and total antioxidant activity and nominal fall in HbA1C was recorded in Group 3 with respect to Group 2.

Conclusion: Aforesaid observations suggested that oxidative stress induced in diabetic and non-diabetic Hansen’s disease patients treated with dapsone due to alteration in Met. Hb, MDA, reduced glutathione and total antioxidant activity levels might be accountable for the etiology of various diseases like cancer, arthritis, and cardiovascular events. A comprehensive study with clinical trials inclusive of complete oxidative stress markers, antioxidant enzymes, pattern of dietary intake with antioxidant vitamin supplements alone and in combination might be beneficial.
VACINAÇÃO INFANTIL - IMPLICAÇÕES DA QUEDA NA COBERTURA VACINAL INFANTIL EM NOVA IGUAÇU
Authors: Gomes Cristiano Fernandes , Andrade Leonardo Guimarães de , Silva Michel Santos da 
Published: November 2023

A vacinação é a estratégia mais efetiva de se evitar uma doença transmissível, contudo tem-se constatado diminuição das coberturas de diversas vacinas, por razões como hesitação vacinal, esquecimento, notícias falsas sobre vacinas, entre outros. A imunização é um direito humano e elemento chave dos cuidados primários de saúde, porém, apesar do sucesso das imunizações ao longo dos anos, dados recentes demonstram redução da procura por vacinas, principalmente nos imunizantes preconizados durante a infância. Avaliando-se os diferentes autores, pode-se concluir que a redução da cobertura vacinal é problemática para a saúde coletiva, causando avanço de doenças já equacionadas e o ressurgimento de doenças erradicadas, provocando danos ou morte, especialmente em crianças. Portanto, torna-se primordial por parte dos diferentes agentes de saúde, governos, trabalhadores da saúde, controle social, entidades educacionais, uma união de forças para empoderar a população, e auxiliar na desconstrução dos mitos relacionados à vacinação.

Published: November 2023

Em 2004, foi criado o Programa Brasil Sorridente, que se tornou o maior programa de saúde bucal pública do mundo. Esse programa visa garantir as ações de promoção, prevenção, recuperação e manutenção da saúde bucal dos brasileiros. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o quanto se é divulgado para os usuários do SUS sobre o Programa Brasil Sorridente, sendo eles o alvo principal, e investigar também se houve melhora no atendimento, fluxo de encaminhamentos e tratamentos finalizados na visão da população. O estudo foi efetuado através de um questionário online. Que foi disponibilizado para os usuários do SUS no Google Forms*, onde o link para o questionário foi enviado. Os participantes da pesquisa tiveram acesso na tela inicial ao Termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido para concordar com sua participação e estarem cientes que os dados seriam coletados e utilizados para fins de pesquisa acadêmica. Após esse passo, os usuários foram direcionados para o questionário de 7 perguntas de múltipla escolha. Após a aplicação do questionário, os dados foram tabulados e avaliados o principal meio de divulgação, o quanto o atendimento odontológico atinge nossa população, o fluxo de encaminhamentos, e a quantidade de tratamentos finalizados. Os resultados mostraram que nem todos os usuários tem conhecimento e/ou acesso a odontologia, mesmo utilizando outros serviços, e que a grande maioria mesmo conhecendo o programa não tiveram seus tratamentos finalizados e não tiveram suas necessidades de especialidades atendidas mostrando assim a necessidade de reformular alguns conceitos para atendimento da demanda.

Published: November 2023

W XIII wieku w Krakowie w krótkim odstępie czasu dwóch biskupów podjęło decyzję o rezygnacji z pełnienia urzędu pasterza diecezji. Biskup Wincenty Kadłubek zrezygnował z urzędu w 1217 roku, natomiast biskup Iwo Odrowąż złożył taki wniosek w roku 1223. Obaj biskupi krakowscy przyjęli habit zakonny. Biskup Wincenty wstąpił do klasztoru cystersów w Jędrzejowie, natomiast biskup Iwo wybrał wspólnotę kanoników regularnych w Mstowie. Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest kwestia przyjrzenia się okolicznościom, które poprzedziły rezygnację Wincentego Kadłubka i Iwona Odrowąża z urzędu na stolicy biskupiej w Krakowie.
