DEPENDENCIES OF THE FINITE DIFFERENCE AND SUPERPOSITION COEFFICIENTS OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL GEOMETRIC POINTS FORMATION
Authors: Vorontsov Oleg , Vorontsova Iryna 
Published: February 2025

A general approach to determining the regularities of changes in the values of superposition coefficients of one-dimensional point sets based on given calculation schemes, which allows solving the problems of continuous-discrete interpolation and extrapolation by numerical sequences of any one-dimensional functional dependencies at three arbitrarily specified nodal points are represented in the article.
One of the tasks of this work is to continue research on the definition of discrete points of curved lines based on the classical method of finite differences, the static-geometric method of modeling, and the geometric apparatus of superpositions.
The process of forming discrete analogs of one-dimensional geometric images using the example of polynomial functional dependencies and based on particular symmetrical calculation schemes is considered.
During the research, the regularities of changes in the values of the superposition coefficients of the three nodal points of the polynomial function in the form of graphs of numerical sequences for the selected calculation scheme were determined.
The dependence of the value of the finite difference P on the value of any ordinate yi of the modeled curve in the form of a linear function is resolute. For the selected calculation scheme, such a linear connection between the magnitude of the change in the value of the finite difference P and the magnitude of the change in the ordinate, for example, of the central node yi2 will have the form of a linear graph.
The obtained regularities make it possible to form one-dimensional geometric images on the specified calculation scheme according to the given ordinates of two points of the reference contour and an internal point.
The research data determine a general approach to obtaining similar regularities of changes in the values of the superposition coefficients of three nodal points of the selected symmetric calculation scheme for determining the ordinates of n points of modeled any one-dimensional functional dependencies and arbitrary one-dimensional sets of points.
The results of this work will make it possible to determine the patterns of changes in the values of the superposition coefficients, both for symmetric and non-symmetric calculation schemes, which will allow solving the problems of continuous-discrete interpolation and extrapolation by numerical sequences of any one-dimensional functional dependencies (determine the ordinates of the sought points discretely given one-dimensional geometric images) without time-consuming operations of assembling and solving large systems of linear and transcendental equations in the future.

Pasteurization For Water: Unit Testing And Potential For Commercial Application
Authors: Apriliawan Hadi 
Published: February 2025

Waterborne diseases continue to pose a significant global health challenge. Traditional water treatment methods often fall short in ensuring complete microbial inactivation. This study investigates the efficacy of pasteurization as a potential solution for water disinfection. The research focuses on unit testing the pasteurization process to determine optimal temperature and exposure time for effective pH level. Water, being a fundamental component in numerous pasteurization processes, undergoes significant changes when subjected to heat. This study involves five steps to analyze pH changes in water during pasteurization. Starting at 50°C, a water sample is taken and its pH level measured. The temperature is then increased to 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C, with pH measurements taken at each step. The recorded pH levels are compared to determine the effect of temperature on water pH, leading to a comprehensive conclusion based on the observed data. The result shows that increasing the temperature during pasteurization leads to an increase in the pH level of water. Consequently, for applications requiring a specific pH level, such as the ideal pH [1] a pasteurization temperature of 90°C is recommended. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the united states recommends a pH level of 7 for daily consumption.

Introduction: Infertility is the inability to achieve pregnancy after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse, affecting millions globally. In Indonesia, it affects 10-15% of reproductive-aged couples. Infertility can be classified as primary (no prior pregnancies) or secondary (previous pregnancies). HSG is commonly used to assess uterine and tubal abnormalities, key contributors to infertility. Methodes: Descriptive qualitative study are done to examine correlation of age, uterine abnormalities, and fallopian tube abnormalities from HSG findings with the prevalence of infertility from patients in Radiology Department from Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Central General Hospital, covering the period from January 2021 to June 2024.Results: 66 patients were collected as samples. 47 patients (71.21%) have primary infertility, while 19 patients (28.79%) have secondary infertility. 9 patients (13.63%) have uterus abnormalities, while 21 patients (31.81%) have fallopian tube abnormalities.Discussion: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a key diagnostic tool in evaluating infertile patients, providing insights into uterine and fallopian tube morphology and patency. It detects structural abnormalities like retroflexed uterus, didelphys, or blocked tubes, which can hinder sperm-egg interaction, embryo implantation, or cause recurrent miscarriages, affecting fertility.

Is platelet-rich plasma better than steroids as epidural drug of choice in lumbar disc disease with radiculopathy? Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Authors: Muthu Sathish , Viswanathan Vibhu Krishnan , Gangadaran Prakash 
Published: February 2025

The current meta-analysis was performed to analyze the efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as an epidural injectate, in comparison with steroids in the management of radiculopathy due to lumbar disc disease (LDD). We conducted independent and duplicate searches of the electronic databases (PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library) in March 2024 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) analyzing the efficacy of epidural PRP for pain relief in the management of LDD. Animal or in vitro studies, clinical studies without a comparator group, and retrospective or non-randomised clinical studies were excluded. Diverse post-intervention pain scores [visual analog score (VAS)] and functional scores [Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), SF-36], as reported in the reviewed studies, were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA 17 software. 5 RCTs including 310 patients (PRP/Steroids = 153/157) were included in the analysis. The included studies compared the efficacy and safety of epidural PRP and steroids at various time-points including 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 weeks. Epidural PRP injection was found to offer comparable pain relief (VAS; WMD = −0.09, 95% CI [−0.66, 0.47], p = 0.641; I2 = 96.72%, p &lt; 0.001), functional improvement (ODI; WMD = 0.72, 95% CI [-6.81, 8.25], p = 0.524; I2 = 98.73%, p &lt; 0.001), and overall health improvement (SF-36; WMD = 1.01, 95% CI [−1.14, 3.17], p = 0.224; I2 = 0.0%, p = 0.36) as epidural steroid injection (ESI) at all the observed time points in the included studies without any increase in adverse events or complications. Epidural administration of PRP offers comparable benefit as epidural steroid injection (ESI) in the management of radiculopathy due to LDD. The safety profile of the epidural PRP is also similar to ESI.

IntroductionSmoking, obesity, and insufficient physical activity are modifiable health risk behaviors. Self-regulation is one fundamental behavior change mechanism often incorporated within digital therapeutics as it varies momentarily across time and contexts and may play a causal role in improving these health behaviors. However, the role of momentary self-regulation in achieving behavior change has been infrequently examined. Using a novel momentary self-regulation scale, this study examined how targeting self-regulation through a digital therapeutic impacts adherence to the therapeutic and two different health risk behavioral outcomes.MethodsThis prospective interventional study included momentary data for 28 days from 50 participants with obesity and binge eating disorder and 50 participants who smoked regularly. An evidence-based digital therapeutic, called Laddr™, provided self-regulation behavior change tools. Participants reported on their momentary self-regulation via ecological momentary assessments and health risk behaviors were measured as steps taken from a physical activity tracker and breathalyzed carbon monoxide. Medical regimen adherence was assessed as daily Laddr usage. Bayesian dynamic mediation models were used to examine moment-to-moment mediation effects between momentary self-regulation subscales, medical regimen adherence, and behavioral outcomes.ResultsIn the binge eating disorder sample, the perseverance [β1 = 0.17, 95% CI = (0.06, 0.45)] and emotion regulation [β1 = 0.12, 95% CI = (0.03, 0.27)] targets of momentary self-regulation positively predicted Laddr adherence on the following day, and higher Laddr adherence was subsequently a positive predictor of steps taken the same day for both perseverance [β2 = 0.335, 95% CI = (0.030, 0.717)] and emotion regulation [β2 = 0.389, 95% CI = (0.080, 0.738)]. In the smoking sample, the perseverance target of momentary self-regulation positively predicted Laddr adherence on the following day [β = 0.91, 95% CI = (0.60, 1.24)]. However, higher Laddr adherence was not a predictor of CO values on the same day [β2 = −0.09, 95% CI = (−0.24, 0.09)].ConclusionsThis study provides evidence that a digital therapeutic targeting self-regulation can modify the relationships between momentary self-regulation, medical regimen adherence, and behavioral health outcomes. Together, this work demonstrated the ability to digitally assess the transdiagnostic mediating effect of momentary self-regulation on medical regimen adherence and pro-health behavioral outcomes.

IntroductionThis study explores the role of digital intelligence technology (DIT) in indirectly enhancing curriculum ideological effectiveness in sports colleges through improvements in teaching effectiveness and student engagement. The research provides insights into how technology integration can influence ideological and political education outcomes.MethodsA nationwide sample of 804 faculty and student respondents was analyzed using a chain mediation model grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model, Self-Determination Theory, and Educational Ecosystem Theory. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to examine the relationships between DIT, teaching effectiveness, student engagement, and curriculum ideology outcomes.ResultsThe findings reveal that DIT significantly enhances teaching effectiveness and student engagement, which sequentially contribute to improved curriculum ideology outcomes. Student engagement accounted for a greater proportion of variance compared to teaching effectiveness, emphasizing the critical role of interactive learning in ideological and political education.DiscussionThis study introduces a novel chain mediation pathway—DIT → Teaching Effectiveness → Student Engagement → Curriculum Ideology—highlighting the synergistic relationship between teaching quality and learner participation. The findings provide theoretical contributions to understanding technology integration in sports education and practical recommendations for professional development and interactive classroom practices to optimize the impact of DIT.

Published: February 2025

Recently, there has been notable progress in the advancement of RRAM-based Compute-In-Memory (CIM) architectures, showing promise in accelerating neural networks with remarkable energy efficiency and parallelism. However, challenges persist in fully integrating large-scale networks onto a chip, particularly when the weights of a layer exceed the capacity of the RRAM crossbar. In such cases, weights are distributed across smaller RRAM crossbars and aggregated using tree adders and shifters in digital flow, leading to increased system complexity and energy consumption of hardware accelerators. In this work, we introduce a novel energy-efficient analog domain aggregator system designed for RRAM-based CIM systems. The proposed circuit has been verified and tested using Virtuoso Cadence circuit tools in 180 nm CMOS technology with post-layout simulations and analysis. Compared with the digital adder tree approach, the proposed analog aggregator offers improvements in three key areas: it can handle an arbitrary number of inputs not just powers of 2, achieves lower error through better rounding and improves power efficiency (2.15× lower consumption). These findings mark a substantial advancement towards the full implementation of efficient on-chip hardware accelerator systems.

Published: February 2025

BackgroundSepsis induces profound derangements in the immune system, including lymphopenia, which correlates with immunosuppression and poor prognosis. However, most evaluations of immunosuppression in sepsis patients rely on static, sporadic lymphocyte counts, lacking dynamic modeling over the disease course. This study aimed to apply latent class mixed modeling on longitudinal lymphocyte counts to uncover heterogeneous trajectory phenotypes in sepsis patients and assess their predictive value for clinical outcomes.ResultsFour lymphocyte trajectory phenotypes were identified in the retrospective cohort (n=2,149) and externally validated (n=2,388): high–declining (α, 3.8%), stable–medium (β, 69.3%), high–increasing (γ, 3.2%), and stable–low (δ, 23.8%). The α phenotype exhibited the highest disease severity and mortality (25.9%) compared with other phenotypes in both cohorts. In the prospective cohort (n=1,056), all lymphocyte subset counts differed among phenotypes on admission (P &lt;.001) and were lower in non-survivors (P&lt;.05). Multivariable regression demonstrated that age, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-II score, heart rate, natural killer cell count, infection source, and lymphocyte trajectory phenotype were independent predictors of 28-day mortality. A nomogram combining these variables provided individualized risk estimations.ConclusionsThe lymphocyte trajectories delineated novel dynamic phenotypes associated with divergent sepsis outcomes. Incorporating longitudinal trajectory modeling and lymphocyte subsets may improve prognostic risk assessment and guide the selection of immunotherapies tailored to specific immune phenotypes in sepsis patients.Clinical trial registrationhttps://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=18277, identifier ChiCTR-40 ROC-17010750.
