Authors: Predel Christopher , Timmermann Cristian , Ursin Frank , Orzechowski Marcin , Ropinski Timo , Steger Florian 
Published: June 2022

Background
Smart sensors have been developed as diagnostic tools for rehabilitation to cover an increasing number of geriatric patients. They promise to enable an objective assessment of complex movement patterns.

Objective
This research aimed to identify and analyze the conflicting ethical values associated with smart sensors in geriatric rehabilitation and provide ethical guidance on the best use of smart sensors to all stakeholders, including technology developers, health professionals, patients, and health authorities.

Methods
On the basis of a systematic literature search of the scientific databases PubMed and ScienceDirect, we conducted a qualitative document analysis to identify evidence-based practical implications of ethical relevance. We included 33 articles in the analysis. The practical implications were extracted inductively. Finally, we carried out an ethical analysis based on the 4 principles of biomedical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. The results are reported in categories based on these 4 principles.

Results
We identified 8 conflicting aims for using smart sensors. Gains in autonomy come at the cost of patient privacy. Smart sensors at home increase the independence of patients but may reduce social interactions. Independent measurements performed by patients may result in lower diagnostic accuracy. Although smart sensors could provide cost-effective and high-quality diagnostics for most patients, minorities could end up with suboptimal treatment owing to their underrepresentation in training data and studies. This could lead to algorithmic biases that would not be recognized by medical professionals when treating patients.

Conclusions
The application of smart sensors has the potential to improve the rehabilitation of geriatric patients in several ways. It is important that patients do not have to choose between autonomy and privacy and are well informed about the insights that can be gained from the data. Smart sensors should support and not replace interactions with medical professionals. Patients and medical professionals should be educated about the correct application and the limitations of smart sensors. Smart sensors should include an adequate representation of minorities in their training data and should be covered by health insurance to guarantee fair access.
Developing an mHealth App for Empowering Cancer Survivors With Disabilities: Co-design Study
Authors: Adler Rachel F , Morales Paulina , Sotelo Jocelyn , Magasi Susan 
Published: June 2022

Background
The transition from active treatment to long-term cancer survivorship leaves the needs of many cancer survivors unaddressed as they struggle with physical, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences of cancer and its treatment. The lack of guidance after treatment has forced cancer survivors to manage long-term effects on their own, which has an impact on their overall health, quality of life, and social participation. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions can be used to promote self-management and evidence-informed education.

Objective
This study aims to design an mHealth app for cancer survivors with disabilities that will offer interventions to improve their quality of life and increase their self-efficacy to manage cancer as a chronic condition.

Methods
We organized 3 co-design workshops with cancer survivors (n=5). These workshops included persona development based on data from 25 interviews with cancer survivors with disabilities; prototype ideation, where we sketched ideas for the prototype; and prototype development, where participants critiqued, and suggested improvements for, the wireframes.

Results
These workshops helped us to define the challenges that cancer survivors with disabilities face as well as important considerations when designing an mHealth app for cancer survivors with disabilities, such as the need for including flexibility, engagement, socialization, and a minimalistic design. We also outline guidelines for other researchers to follow when planning their own co-design workshops, which include allowing more time for discussion among participants, having small participant groups, keeping workshops engaging and inclusive, and letting participants dream big.

Conclusions
Using a co-design process aided us in developing a prototype of an mHealth app for cancer survivors with disabilities as well as a list of guidelines that other researchers can use to develop their own co-design workshops and design their app. Furthermore, working together with cancer survivors ensured that the design team had a deeper sense of empathy toward the target users and kept the focus on our ultimate goal: creating something that cancer survivors would want to use and benefit from. Future work will include usability testing of a high-fidelity prototype based on the results of these workshops.

Anticoagulant therapy becomes critical to preventing further complications caused by the hypercoagulative state in COVID-19 patients. The optimal dose and time-dependent administration of anticoagulants remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the mortality and bleeding risks of anticoagulants administered to COVID-19 patients. We collected data from articles that compared prophylactic and therapeutic anticoagulants in COVID-19 patients recorded online from studies that were published around 2020 to 2021. We were taking the articles from a scientific database such as ScienceDirect, Cochrane, ProQuest, PubMed, and Google Scholar based on the inclusion criteria. Data analysis was conducted using Review Manager Version 5.4.1 (Cochrane, Copenhagen, Denmark) using Mantel-Haenzel statistical method for categorical data to measure Relative Risk (RR) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI). We use a random-effect analysis model if P for heterogeneity (pHet <0.1) and a fixed-effect analysis model if pHet ≥0.1. Based on time dependent-manner, therapeutic anticoagulant showed no benefit in reducing mortality (RR = 0.69; 95% CI = 0.47 to 1.02). Beside, based on dose-dependent manner, prophylactic anticoagulant was found beneficial to prevent mortality (RR = 0.49; CI 95%; p = 0.02) compared to therapeutic. Therapeutic anticoagulants also showed higher risk of bleeding (RR = 0.27; CI 95%; p < 0.000001) compared to prophylactic. Therapeutic have no significantly benefit over prophylactic dose in reducing mortality rates. Therapeutic anticoagulant has a higher risk of bleeding in patients with COVID-19. Administer prophylactic dose is recommended due to the fewer side effects compared to the therapeutic dose.

Open Data: A Stepchild in e-Estonia’s Data Management Strategy?
Authors: Tropp Elsa-Maria , Hoffmann Thomas , Chochia Archil 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The availability of open data has increased dramatically, partly in reaction to several types of government agencies publishing their raw data. Access to and use of open data is not only essential for the development of public policy and delivery of various services, but it is also of eminent value for private (and often economic) purposes. To meet these demands, the availability of open data has increased dramatically both domestically and EU-wide. Nevertheless, it is still access to and use of personal data which is usually in the spotlight of public—and also legal—debates. Contributing to fill this gap, this paper analyses the significance of open data and the resulting challenges imposed by the widespread lack of specific open data policies. The paper also provides an overview of the existing systems used in Estonian governance to ensure access to open information, but also highlights the shortcomings, before it finally makes proposals on how to improve open data disclosure practices in Estonia.
Enhancing the Speed of the Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) Algorithm by Adding Partial Distance Computation
Authors: AbuAlghanam Orieb , Adwan Omar , Al Shariah Mohammad A. , Qatawneh Mohammad 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) is one of the most widely used classification approaches. LVQ faces a problem as when the size of data grows large it becomes slower. In this paper, a modified version of LVQ, which is called PDLVQ is proposed to accelerate the traditional version. The proposed scheme aims to avoid unnecessary computations by applying an efficient Partial Distance (PD) computation strategy. Three different benchmark datasets are used in the experiments. The comparisons have been done between LVQ and PDLVQ in terms of runtime and in result, it turns out that PDLVQ shows better efficiency than LVQ. PDLVQ has achieved up to 37% efficiency in runtime compared to LVQ when the dimensions have increased. Also, the enhanced algorithm (PDLVQ) shows clear enhancement to decrease runtime when the size of dimensions, the number of clusters, or the size of data becomes increased compared with the traditional one which is LVQ.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
The existence of a trade-off between embedding capacity and imperceptibility is a challenge to improve the quality of steganographic images. This research proposes to cross diagonal embedding Pixel Value Differencing (PVD) and Modulus Function (MF) techniques using edge area patterns to improve embedding capacity and imperceptibility simultaneously. At the same time still, maintain a good quality of security. By implementing them into 14 public datasets, the proposed techniques are proven to increase both capacity and imperceptibility. The cross diagonal embedding PVD is responsible for increasing the embedding capacity reaching an average value of 3.18 bits per pixel (bpp), and at the same time, the implementation of edge area block patterns-based embedding is a solution of improving imperceptibility toward an average value of PSNR above 40 dB and that of SSIM above 0.98. Aside from its success in increasing the embedding capacity and the imperceptibility, the proposed techniques remain resistant to RS attacks.
Basketball contract: applying the SIPRES method in the process of evaluating the negotiation template
Authors: Górecka Dorota , Gulak-Lipka Patrycja 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
In a negotiation process, knowing the preferences of the decision-maker and building a negotiation offer scoring system are very challenging tasks. There are many different methods that can be used to develop such a negotiation support tool, including, but not limited to, techniques based on the multiattribute utility theory (MAUT) or the outranking relation, for instance SAW, AHP or PROMETHEE II. In this paper we present the procedure of evaluating the negotiation template using an unconventional and inventive method called SIPRES, which combines the key elements of the revised Simos’ procedure and the ZAPROS method to elicit the negotiator’s preferences over some reference solutions. This transparent and easy to implement technique – thanks to the ZAPROS-like approach applied within it – allows the decision-makers to define their preferences in a simple manner, providing an effective method for analysing the trade-offs between the alternatives using selected reference alternatives only. Simultaneously, the revised Simos’ procedure, applied in the method, allows for determining the cardinal scores of the alternatives. Thus, sophisticated negotiation analyses can be carried out. As an illustrative example the problem of basketball contract negotiations is discussed.
Towards cognitive decision support: A model of behavioural assessment of multi-criteria methods
Authors: Roszkowska Ewa , Wachowicz Tomasz 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The Negotiation Support Systems often implement multiple criteria decision aiding (MCDA) techniques for building a negotiation scoring system. Those formal models should meet the needs, motivations, expectations, and cognitive abilities of users. In this paper, we try to explore the effects of decision maker’s subjective perception of ease of use, time requirements, interface, preference representation, and efficiency of a particular MCDA method on the choice regarding the future use of this method. The multinomial logistic regression model is built and analysed. The analysis is based on data from online decision making experiments, where three MCDA methods were implemented, i.e. AHP, SMART, and TOPSIS. The study provides several interesting findings, concerning the behavioural aspects of multiple criteria decision aiding in software support systems. Most of the users recommended TOPSIS as the best one for supporting decisions in the future. This is a fast technique, for which we used an attractive graphical interface, suggesting that these factors play a crucial role in the users’ choices. However, the causative regression model showed that the user’s positive experience in using a particular method, i.e. its effectiveness in solving an exemplary numerical case, has the highest impact on the method’s choice for future use. The second most important factor is the adequacy in representing the user’s preferences by this method. We show, however, that the strengths of effects and their significance may vary across the methods. Understanding the decision maker’s evaluations of the MCDA techniques may help build a cognitive negotiation support system that satisfies the user’s expectations.
Impact of Remittances on Economic Growth: Empirical Evidence from South-East European Countries
Authors: Bucevska Vesna 
Published: June 2022

AbstractSouth-East European (SEE) countries are experiencing high emigration, resulting in a significant increase in remittance inflows, exceeding FDI flows. Today the most important challenge facing SEE countries is how to grow at a higher speed to achieve faster economic convergence with the EU. The objective of the paper is to empirically examine the relevance of remittances as a factor of economic growth, using quarterly balanced panel data set of six SEE countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, the Republic of North Macedonia, and Serbia (SEE6) over 2008q1-2020q2. Panel regression with the fixed-effects model is employed to account for potential cross-section heterogeneity. This study provides original econometric evidence that remittances have a significant positive impact on economic growth in our panel of SEE6. Those results will be useful both to scholars and policymakers in the process of the creation of policies that will direct remittances into investments in the economy.

Researching the nuisance of aircraft noise is an important phenomenon and regulated by law. The study was preceded by an analysis of the literature, especially standards and legal acts, to determine the acceptable levels of noise near airports. Obtained measurements were analyzed using methods of processing acoustic signals to determine whether the activity of the airport does not cause exceeded appropriate standards in the study area.
Thermal resistance of concrete airfield pavements
Authors: Nita Piotr , Linek Małgorzata , Poświata Adam 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Concrete airfield pavements can frequently suffer from initially small and relatively shallow delamination of the subsurface concrete layer. It may be due to natural and forced temperature impact on the pavement. As a result of these impacts, thermal stresses and other phenomena are formed in the concrete slab. The significant phenomena are those related to the movement of water vapour in the slab cross-section and the associated processes leading to defects of the concrete structure. They are due to the complex interaction of various phenomena: thermal, humidity and strength that were considered damage stimulants.
Specifics of Power Losses in Power Lines Including Parallel Lines
Authors: Survilo J. 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Reducing power losses is invested in the trend of combating climate warming. It is necessary to know what parameters of power transmission lines affect the losses in them. In short and medium lines with accounted lumped parameters, the role and influence of the line parameters on losses are visible. In the lines with distributed parameters, at least with one series parameter and one parallel parameter, the role played by them, computing losses in ordinary way as difference between power at line sending and receiving end, is hidden. This is pronounced when considering parallel lines. In two parallel lines the losses can be greater than in a single line. This may occur when the current at the end of the lines is less than the boundary value: the value when two parallel lines and a single line have the same losses. The longer the line and the higher the rated voltage, the stronger the effect. In view of this aspect, it is necessary to know the boundary current. This current can be determined in ordinary way by a series of calculations changing the load value. In some cases, boundary current is affected not only by modulus of the current at the end of the line but also by its angle. It is better to calculate the boundary current by a formula, while studying the role of each parameter.

Abstract
Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Centre (Ventspils University of Applied Sciences) is implementing the scientific project “Complex Investigations of the Small Bodies in the Solar System” (lzp-2018/1-0401) related to the research of the small bodies in the Solar system (mainly, focusing on asteroids and comets) using methods of radio astronomy and signal processing. One of the research activities is weak hydroxyl (OH) radical observation in the radio range – single antenna observations using Irbene RT-32 radio telescope. To detect weak (0.1 Jy) OH masers of astronomical objects using radio methods, a research group in Ventspils adapted the Irbene RT-32 radio telescope working at 1665.402 and 1667.359 MHz frequencies. Spectral analysis using Fourier transform and continuous wavelet transform was applied to radio astronomical data from multiple observations related to weak OH maser detection. Multiple observation sessions of OH maser objects (R LMi, RU Ari, V524 Cas, OH 138.0+7.2, U Aur, etc) were carried out in 2020–2021.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
The article introduces the results of studying the magnetic field distribution in the alternator inductor with an axial arrangement of open magnetic cores (OMC) and external closure of magnetic fluxes. The study compares the efficiency of using magnetic fluxes from permanent magnets (PM) on the example of two model variants of inductors with OMC developed by the authors. The analysis of the density distribution of magnetic fluxes in OMC was carried out by 3D modelling of the magnetic field using EMWorks software. It has been shown that such generators can be manufactured using a waste-free technology for strip of OMC. This technology significantly reduces the production costs of OMC. By modelling the distribution of magnetic fluxes in the OMC of the inductor, the results of experimental studies and analysis of the created device show that the capacity of generator can be varied by changing its dimensions and the number of the toggle switches on the rotor. This allows the alternator to be adapted to the load requirements – power banks and bicycle electronics.
