Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 441006
subject: Sociological methodology and research methods

description: Closely related to the validity of the results of a survey is the reliability and validity of the measuring instrument used, because if the measuring instrument does not provide a satisfactory level of these two criteria, it cannot or should not be used in a research. In the context of this article, we will discuss in detail the process of evaluating the content validity of a measuring instrument in order to establish to what extent it conceptually covers the range of the variable(s) intended to measure. For this purpose, we will use the most commonly used method among researchers based on the agreement between the judges, which is the Content Validity Index (CVI) and we will describe step by step the whole process, from the selection of the judges to the final calculation of the index using for this purpose the most common and available to all Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software.

description: O solo é um recurso natural, praticamente não renovável, de grande valor para a humanidade que, no entanto, tem vindo a ser alvo de sérios impactos induzidos pelas mais diversas actividades antropogénicas. De forma a garantir a sua preservação, pelas gerações vindouras, é fundamental reforçar, no 3º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, a abordagem de temáticas relacionadas com a ecologia do solo, a diversidade da comunidade edáfica e suas funções e, o impacto de factores como a poluição. Para o efeito, o presente trabalho descreve a adaptação do protocolo padronizado de um ensaio comportamental com minhocas terrestres, frequentemente utilizado no rastreio de solos contaminados, com vista à sua aplicação em actividades de Ensino Experimental das Ciências (EEC), centradas na resolução de problemas, que visem abordar a temática da poluição dos solos. A actividade descrita foi desenvolvida por um pequeno grupo de alunos do 3º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, que paralelamente preencheram um questionário no início e no final da mesma. A análise estatística das respostas dos alunos aos questionários permitiu concluir que a actividade proposta poderá ser uma mais valia para iniciar familiarização dos alunos com o método científico e com a sua natureza faseada, assim como para promover aquisições conceptuais relacionadas com a temática da poluição terrestre.

description: Motivation: In prostate brachytherapy, real-time dosimetry would be ideal to allow for rapid evaluation of the implant quality intra-operatively. However, such a mechanism requires an imaging system that is both real-time and which provides, via multiple C-arm fluoroscopy images, clear information describing the three-dimensional position of the seeds deposited within the prostate. Thus, accurate tracking of the C-arm poses proves to be of critical importance to the process. Methodology: We compute the pose of the C-arm relative to a stationary radiographic fiducial of known geometry by employing a hybrid registration framework. Firstly, by means of an ellipse segmentation algorithm and a 2D/3D feature based registration, we exploit known FTRAC geometry to recover an initial estimate of the C-arm pose. Using this estimate, we then initialize the intensity-based registration which serves to recover a refined and accurate estimation of the C-arm pose. Results: Ground-truth pose was established for each C-arm image through a published and clinically tested segmentation-based method. Using 169 clinical C-arm images and a ±10° and ±10 mm random perturbation of the ground-truth pose, the average rotation and translation errors were 0.68° (std = 0.06°) and 0.64 mm (std = 0.24 mm). Conclusion: Fully automated C-arm pose estimation using a 2D/3D hybrid registration scheme was found to be clinically robust based on human patient data.

Subjects: classificationCode: 320205
subject: Dermatology

description: Introduction: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment, obtained from a patient’s own blood and enriched with a high concentration of platelets and growth factors, has become increasingly popular and is now commonly used for conditions such as hair growth, psoriasis, skin rejuvenation, hyperpigmentation, and vitiligo. PRP is a versatile treatment that can help patients cosmetically and functionally. By processing a patient's blood, PRP allows for platelets and growth factors to be reintroduced into the skin, which can promote healing, tissue regeneration, and in this case, a restoration of skin pigmentation. Case presentation: This case report demonstrates the use of PRP therapy on a 28-year-old Caucasian female with no significant past medical history suffering from hypopigmentation following laser hair removal. After topical corticosteroid treatment was tried and failed, three sessions of PRP were performed, spaced 6 weeks apart, resulting in almost complete clearance of hypopigmentation. Conclusion: The positive outcome observed in this patient suggests that PRP may be a promising treatment option for various types of hypopigmentation, potentially offering a non-invasive and effective approach for patients suffering from this condition.

description: Os medicamentos veterinários (MVs) têm um papel importante na produção animal em todo o mundo, garantindo a produção de alimento de boa qualidade e a baixo custo para milhões de pessoas. Na União Europeia o uso de MVs atinge as 6051 toneladas por ano. Em Portugal destaca-se o uso de MVs na indústria de bovinos, galináceos, suínos, aquicultura e apicultura. A má utilização dos MVs e/ou má gestão dos efluentes podem gerar contaminações em diferentes compartimentos ambientais, afectando diversos organismos (bem como o desenvolvimento de resistência a nível da comunidade microbiana). Nos últimos anos, a problemática da contaminação ambiental por MVs tem recebido maior atenção por parte das autoridades reguladoras e da comunidade científica. O presente artigo pretende abordar o tema dos MVs em termos de 1) diferentes grupos de MVs e modos de acção; 2) vias de entrada nos ecossistemas; 3) potencial ecotoxicológico; 4) efeito nos diferentes níveis tróficos; 5) um caso de estudo: o problema da ivermectina; 6) formas de avaliação de risco dos MVs; 7) Recomendações e perspectivas futuras para o uso e gestão dos MVs.

description: O Triclosão (TCS) é um biocida componente de vários produtos de higiene pessoal (ex. pasta de dentes), sendo descartado juntamente com o efluente doméstico, e chegando às estações de tratamento. Contudo, há estudos que indicam a sua presença em águas superficiais, o que suscita alguma preocupação na comunidade científica, na medida em que os efeitos adversos em ecossistemas aquáticos são ainda parcialmente desconhecidos. Neste estudo, a toxicidade do TCS foi investigada usando o peixe-zebra (Danio rerio). Realizaram-se dois testes de toxicidade distintos, um com embriões e larvas e outro com peixes adultos, expondo-os a diferentes concentrações de TCS. Registou-se a sobrevivência e as alterações no comportamento e no desenvolvimento embrionário. A concentração de TCS letal para 50% dos indivíduos expostos (CL50 às 96 horas) foi similar para larvas e adultos (0,42 e 0,34 mg L-1 respectivamente). No entanto, o teste com embriões mostrou-se muito mais informativo, permitindo assim uma análise integrada e uma melhor perspectiva do modo de acção do TCS. Trabalhos futuros com cenários mais realistas e que estimem os efeitos do TCS a longo prazo são essenciais para uma correcta avaliação de risco ambiental.

description: A Arabidopsis thaliana é uma planta herbácea da família Brassicaceae e é nativa da Europa, Ásia e África tropical, apresentando uma grande distribuição a nível mundial. Esta planta possui um genoma relativamente pequeno quando comparado com o de outras plantas (apenas 5 pares de cromossomas) e um ciclo de vida curto, o que permite o acompanhamento de todas as fases do seu ciclo de vida e das gerações sucessoras, sendo também de fácil cultivo e manutenção em laboratório. Devido a estas características, A. thaliana foi a primeira planta a ter o genoma completamente sequenciado, sendo uma planta modelo em estudos genéticos. A fácil manipulação dos seus genes permite a produção de novas linhagens (mutantes), que podem apresentar diferentes sensibilidades quando expostas a factores de stress ambiental. Estes podem ser naturais (variação na temperatura, humidade, luminosidade, entre outros) e/ou antropogénicos (compostos químicos, como os pesticidas e metais pesados). Exemplares de plantas selvagens, assim como os seus mutantes produzidos em laboratório, têm sido utilizados em ensaios ecotoxicológicos com o intuito de avaliar a influência directa dos factores de stress ambiental na germinação, crescimento e biomassa das plantas.

description: A podridão amarga causada pelo fungo Colletotrichum spp. é uma das mais importantes doenças de Verão na cultura da macieira no Sul do Brasil. Nesta região a ocorrência de verões quentes e úmidos são condições ideais para o desenvolvimento da podridão amarga e da mosca-das-frutas (Anastrepha fraterculus), que, se não forem devidamente controladas podem comprometer seriamente a produção de maçã. Perdas severas em pomares têm sido constatadas tanto pela doença quanto pela praga isoladamente, entretanto a ocorrência de ambas não é rara, podendo implicar na perda total da produção. Pesquisas e observações ao longo dos anos têm demonstrado que a presença de ferimentos nos frutos favorece o estabelecimento e o rápido desenvolvimento da doença. São muitos os fatores envolvidos na produção de ferimentos nos frutos, desde muito pequenos até ao período de colheita. O presente trabalho procurou mostrar que a oviposição (i.e., o acto de depositar os ovos) da mosca-das-frutas é um dos principais agentes causadores de ferimentos nos frutos e nesses ferimentos espécies de fungos como Glomerella e seus anamorfos Colletotrichum, mesmo em baixas concentrações de inóculo (quantidade de esporos do fungo que poderá causar uma infecção), se estabelecem e rapidamente se desenvolvem produzindo a podridão amarga nas maçãs.

description: Vários estudos epidemiológicos realizados nos últimos anos em Países Europeus e Norte-Americanos vieram revelar que a exposição prolongada ao gás radioactivo radão, o qual se acumula no interior das habitações e dos edifícios em geral, é responsavel por uma parte importante dos casos de cancro do pulmão. O risco aumenta quando se combinam a exposição ao radão e a exposição ao fumo de tabaco. Em face destes resultados, a Organização Mundial de Saúde encetou em 2005 um programa internacional de sensibilização para o problema do radão na atmosfera de interiores. Em Portugal, um País com regiões uraníferas, é elevado o potencial para a exposição significativa ao radão no interior dos edifícios. É, pois, necessário agir sobre este problema. Para tal, há que começar por caracterizar e conhecer a exposição ao radão nas habitações e locais de trabalho interiores e, com base nos resultados, promover as alterações porventura necessárias nos edifícios existentes e adoptar normas para as novas construções a fim de reduzir a exposição a este gás radioactivo

description: Technological and regulatory changes have transformed the digital footprints of the banking sector. Today, credit card transactions are providing ten times more data available for fraud detection practices than it was previously available. These larger datasets, combined with the limitations of traditional fraud detection methods, creates an opportunity to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. The effectiveness of AI models in the banking industry for fraud detection is proven but practitioners are slow to adopt this advancement. This was because of the concerns over transparency, trust, and the complexity of integrating these models into existing systems. This paper aims to argue in favor of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) for fraud detection in the banking sector. XAI enhances transparency, builds trust, and provides clear insights by making AI decisions interpretable and understandable, allowing users to see how and why decisions are made. This paper will explore real-time applications of XAI in the banking sector. It will also highlight the key regulatory changes necessary for effectively integrating AI techniques into banking practices. Lastly, it will encourage future researchers to investigate various aspects of XAI and its potential contribution to improving fraud detection in the banking industry.

description: Since 2019, Comics as Data North America (CaDNA) has used metadata from the MSU Library (MSUL) Comic Art Collection to understand comic culture in North America. In the project's first phase, we developed a dataset for researchers. This effort highlighted the need to address inconsistencies in the archive catalog and the impact of missing or incorrect data. Building on the dataset's potential, we embarked on a collaborative community-driven solution to address gaps in the data record using Wikidata, the world's largest open-linked data repository. These efforts improved historical information about comics from the 1930s and 1940s and leveraged this data landscape to create visualizations revealing information about comic creators and publishers.  In the latest phase of CaDNA, we turn to a state-level project called 50 States of Comics, partnering with colleagues across the United States to conduct Wikidata edit-a-thons to build a more robust and inclusive picture of comic culture in the United States. This presentation will discuss the potential impact of making comic data more searchable and accessible at the state level. The presentation will consider how more nuanced stories about communities of practice linked to graphic narratives can be realized through data. With 50 States of Comics, we seek to leverage the transformative power of Wikidata to ensure a more holistic narrative about comics can be shared in a rapidly changing digital landscape. In particular, we recognize how Wikidata's role in training generative AI models offers a unique opportunity to intervene in how this new technology describes comic production, creator identity, and communities of practice.

description: Transverse single-spin asymmetry (TSSA) phenomena have gained substantial attention in several decades because they provide valuable information on the spin structure of the nucleon. Production of heavy flavor is dominated by gluon-gluon fusion in the leading order perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics calculation at RHIC energies, and the transverse single-spin asymmetry in heavy-flavor production is sensitive to the tri-gluon correlations in the twist-3 collinear factorization framework. Study of this asymmetry for single muons from heavy flavor decays in the PHENIX experiment serves as a clean probe for this process.

description: The present study examines the adaptive function of empathy and the role of rave suppression in promoting social cohesion within contemporary Maltese society. The relevance of adaptive empathy as a dynamic, feedback-based learning process, whereby empathic responses are chosen and modified on the basis of social feedback is explored. Drawing from insights in neuroscience, psychology, and social science this work investigates the mechanisms grounding accurate empathy and implications for relationship formation and maintenance. This study employs an original associative learning paradigm to measure adaptive empathy where participants choose between two empathic strategies; reappraisal or distraction to alleviate target person’s distress. Feedbacks on each strategy’ effects are used to build future decisions that show mentalizing abilities are part of adaptive empathy. On this note, it is worth pointing out that there was a positive correlation between traits cognitive empathy in relation to those involved in adaptive empathy since learning through social feedback increases accuracy for being empathetic. Further, the study also touches on cultural and social perspectives of rave culture in Malta among other things. This is achieved by reviewing the effects of raves’ events and efforts to abolish them on social ties. The paper is based on mixed research design that uses qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys to examine how communal activities affect collective empathy and social cohesion. It explores how a sense of belonging and comradeship are developed through rave culture as well as what happens when it ceases to operate that may lead to some alterations in social dynamics and solidarity. The main goal of this research was to illuminate the adaptive roles played by empathy within certain societal situations and wider implications for societal integration; hence, it provides an extensive understanding regarding relationships between empathy and social structure. These findings can be helpful to community leaders or policy makers who would want to foster resilience & harmony among different groups within modern societies.

description: Time series analysis of ultrasound radio-frequency (RF) signals has been shown to be an effective tissue classification method. Previous studies of this method for tissue differentiation at high and clinical-frequencies have been reported. In this paper, analysis of RF time series is extended to improve tissue classification at the clinical frequencies by including novel features extracted from the time series spectrum. The primary feature examined is the Mean Central Frequency (MCF) computed for regions of interest (ROIs) in the tissue extending along the axial axis of the transducer. In addition, the intercept and slope of a line fitted to the MCF-values of the RF time series as a function of depth have been included. To evaluate the accuracy of the new features, an in vitro animal study is performed using three tissue types: bovine muscle, bovine liver, and chicken breast, where perfect two-way classification is achieved. The results show statistically significant improvements over the classification accuracies with previously reported features. Copyright 2011 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

description: We present a parallel implementation of a statistical shape model registration to 3D ultrasound images of the lumbar vertebrae (L2-L4). Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy optimization technique, along with Linear Correlation of Linear Combination similarity metric have been used, to improve the robustness and capture range of the registration approach. Instantiation and ultrasound simulation have been implemented on a graphics processing unit for a faster registration. Phantom studies show a mean target registration error of 3.2 mm, while 80% of all the cases yield target registration error of below 3.5 mm.

EESTI MEREJÕUDUDE ALLOHVITSERID 1920–1939

description: Petty officers were an important link between officers and soldiers/sailors in the Estonian Navy. Petty officers were divided into line petty officers (riviallohvitserid) and specialist petty officers (erialaallohvitserid). Line and specialist petty officers’ tasks differed significantly. Line petty officers were lower level military leaders and disciplinarians for soldiers under their command. They were also trainers for recruits. Specialist petty officers, who were the majority in the Navy, were first of all specialists in a specific area. They handled and maintained different mechanisms. Only higher-ranking petty officers and warrant officers (the rank of warrant officer (instruktor) was available only in the Navy, but not in other branches) also held the function of leader and pedagogue: they were in charge of the petty officers and sailors in their unit and were responsible for their additional specialist training. The training of line and specialist petty officers was as different as their tasks. Line petty officers were trained to be leaders and trainers. Major attention was paid to weapons and infantry tactics training. The training of specialist petty officers focused on their specialist knowledge and skills. To maintain the proper level of administrative and line skills, regular refresher courses were introduced in the Navy. The courses were conducted in the wintertime, when the overall training pace was lower. Although the armed forces of Estonia is based on conscription, petty officers in the Navy were usually professional soldiers, not conscripts. This was due to the fact that specialist petty officers were expected to have service experience, which was hard for conscripts to gain during their mandatory service time. Even if a conscript completed petty officer training and was appointed to the position of petty officer, he was seldom promoted to the rank of petty officer. Professional soldiers had more rights than conscripts, fixed by special law, and representative organizations (üleajateenijate kogud). They formed a conscious and unified fraternity, where the status of professional soldier was more important than that of soldiers or the rank of petty officer.
