description: The implementation of the new artificial intelligence (AI) technology has challenges and opportunities in healthcare institutions. This study explores the current usage of artificial intelligence and highlights the challenges and the opportunities for different areas in the healthcare institutions such as pharmacies, hospitals, laboratories, or any other clinical practices that applies the usage of artificial intelligence. Addressing these challenges and opportunities are studied with the context of Saudi Arabia. Exploring the challenges and opportunities in Saudi Arabia will help to improve and enhance Saudi’s healthcare system as well as aid in meeting the standards of the vision of Saudi Arabia 2030. AI implementations have many opportunities such as enhancing patient care, improve diagnosis accuracy and higher operational efficiency. Alongside the opportunities there are challenges includes financial constraints, data privacy concerns, not enough training applications and cybersecurity risks. Although the adoption of AI in Saudi healthcare promising, there are some efforts that needed to recognize and overcome the challenges of AI. The findings this research will surface the strategic measures that are crucial underneath to be used to deal with the challenges and to support the development of the healthcare of Saudi Arabia. Healthcare professionals from Imam Abdul Rahman Al- Faisal hospital indicated that it is important to advance the healthcare efficiency and improve patient outcomes as well as meet global standards. This shall form a move towards the Saudi Arabia vision 2030.

description: К изображению константинопольского храма Софии Премудрости Божией — стамбульской Айя-Софии в первые десятилетия ХХ века обращались в своих прозаических произведениях И.А.Бунин, Н.С.Гумилев, И.С.Шкапа. Наиболее развернуто и содержательно это сделал И.А.Бунин в своей «путевой поэме», открывающей одноименный цикл «Тень птицы», что является темой отдельного исследования. Цель данной статьи — выявить стилевые особенности образов Айя-Софии в «Африканском дневнике» Н.С.Гумилева и в книге очерков литературного секретаря А.М.Горького И.С.Шкапы «Лицом к лицу», в значительной степени строящихся на основе художественного диалога с Буниным. Н.С.Гумилев создал целостный образ храма, однако целью его поездки и, соответственно, основным фокусом художественного внимания была Африка. В отличие от Бунина, отражая культурный стиль иной эпохи и, вероятно, не без решения полемических задач, подробное, выстроенное через контраст впечатлений от внешнего вида и внутреннего убранства, интерьера храма, но без бунинских ретардаций и лирико-поэтической доминанты собственное описание храма создает И.С.Шкапа. Он сделал акцент на иронии, антирелигиозной пропаганде и классовой борьбе, что, впрочем, оказалось существенно смягченным в последнем прижизненном издании его журналистской книги в 1990 г.

description: Background/objectives: In the African region, little is known about weight misperception among overweight or obese adults. We assessed the prevalence of weight misperception and predictors of weight misperception among overweight or obese adults in Mauritius. Height, weight, and self-perception of weight status data from 5736 adults (≥19 years of age), sampled in a population-based survey in 2009 were analysed. Weight status was defined using BMI calculated on the basis of measured height and weight. Information regarding self-perceived body weight, socio-demographic and self-rated health data were collected using a questionnaire. Results: Overall 41% of overweight or obese adults misclassified their own weight status. Among adults who were overweight or obese, weight misperception was increasingly less likely among those with increasing education (men: p = 0.02; women: p ≤ 0.001) but was more likely among those who perceived their overall health as good or excellent (men: PR = 1.29, 95% CI 1.10—1.52; women: PR = 1.42, 95% CI 1.26—1.60). Adults who were overweight or obese, weight misperception was increasingly less likely with increasing income (men: p = 0.025; women: p ≤ 0.001). Among women who were overweight or obese, weight misperception was increasingly more likely with increasing age (p ≤ 0.001) and those who self-reported Chinese ethnicity (PR = 1.48, 95% CI 1.22—1.78). Conclusion: A large proportion of adults in Mauritius misperceive their own weight status, with variation by socio-demographic characteristics and self-rated health. Future studies are needed to examine if correcting misperceptions of weight status may support obesity prevention and control efforts in Mauritius.

description: Objective: To estimate the benefits that might be realized if all children in the United States had a blood lead level of less than 1 μg/dL.

Design: Data were obtained from published and electronic sources. A Markov model was used to project lifetime earnings, reduced crime costs, improvements in health, and reduced welfare costs using 2 scenarios: (1) maintaining the status quo and (2) reducing the blood lead level of all children to less than 1 μg/dL.

Participants: The cohort of US children between birth and age 6 years in 2008, with economic and health outcomes projected for 65 years.

Interventions: Increased primary prevention efforts aimed at reducing lead exposure among children and pregnant women.

Main Outcome Measures: Societal costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained.

Results: Reducing blood lead levels to less than 1 μg/dL among all US children between birth and age 6 years would reduce crime and increase on-time high school graduation rates later in life. The net societal benefits arising from these improvements in high school graduation rates and reductions in crime would amount to $50 000 (SD, $14 000) per child annually at a discount rate of 3%. This would result in overall savings of approximately $1.2 trillion (SD, $341 billion) and produce an additional 4.8 million QALYs (SD, 2 million QALYs) for US society as a whole.

Conclusion: More aggressive programs aimed at reducing childhood lead exposure may produce large social benefits.

description: Using advanced first-principles calculations we predict that the non-polar SrTiO$_3$/SrZrO$_3$ (001) interface, designed as either thin SrZrO$_3$ film deposited on SrTiO$_3$ or short-period (SrTiO$_3$)$_m$/(SrZrO$_3$)$_n$ superlattice, host a 2-dimensionally confined electron gas. Mobile electron charge due to native impurities, field-effect, or modulation doping remains tightly trapped at the interface. Key ingredients for this occurrence are a) the peculiar chemistry of 3d orbitals, b) the large band offset at titanate-zirconate interface.

description: Traditionally, reliable obsidian sourcing requires expensive calibration standards and extensive geological reference collections as well as experience with statistical processing. In the South Caucasus — one of the most obsidian-rich regions on the planet — this combination of requirements has often restricted sourcing studies because few projects have geological reference collections that cover all known obsidian sources. To test an alternative approach, we conducted “open sourcing” using portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analyses of geological specimens with three key changes to the conventional method: (1) commercially available calibration standards were replaced with a loanable Peabody-Yale Reference Obsidians (PYRO) set, (2) a comprehensive geological reference collection was replaced with a published dataset of consensus values (Frahm, 2023a, 2023b), and (3) processing in statistical packages was replaced with two semiautomated machine-learning workflows available online. For comparison, we used classification by-eye with JMP 17.2 statistical software. Furthermore, we propose a new method to evaluate calibrations, which streamlines comparisons and which we refer to as a symmetric difference ratio (SDR). The results of this feasibility study demonstrate that this “open sourcing” workflow is reliable, yet currently only in combination with classification by-eye. When the consensus values were combined with the machine-learning solutions, the classification results were unsatisfactory. The most encouraging aspect of our alternative “open sourcing” workflow is that it enables correct source identification without physically measuring reference collections, therefore surmounting an obstacle that, until now, has severely limited archaeological research. We anticipate that rapid developments in machine-learning will also soon improve the workflow.

description: Рассмотрены особенности литературного путешествия по Новгороду на примере произведения А.В.Круглова «На исторической реке (путевые негативы)» (1890). Жанр путешествия в XIX веке стал особенно популярен среди отечественных авторов. Чаще всего объектами путешествий становились иноземные территории или столичные города России — Санкт-Петербург, Москва, в то время как российская провинция не являлась объектом пристального внимания писателей. В центре новгородского путешествия — взгляд на провинциальный город не только как на исторический центр Руси, но и на современные особенности местности и общества, ее населяющего.  Новгород имеет большое значение как в русской культуре в целом, так и в литературе в частности. Культурные и исторические аспекты, выделяемые в произведении, формируют локальный текст местности. Анализ структурных и содержательных особенностей рассматриваемого произведения позволяет включить данное путешествие в корпус новгородского локального текста, что способствует комплексному раскрытию образа места, обладающего потенцией к аккумулированию культурных смыслов.

description: n recent years there’s been a growing recognition that conservation is as much about humans as about nonhuman species, landscapes, and ecosystems. Ethnographic research methods offer one important way of learning about and working with the many social, political, economic and cultural dimensions of conservation. These methods aim to create a holistic understanding of people’s everyday interactions; their perspectives on important issues, such as land rights, development, conservation and the state; and—where relevant—their previous or current experiences of conservation programmes, projects and practitioners. But what do these methods involve, and when and how can they be used effectively and ethically by conservationists? Using Ethnographic Research for Social Engagement aims to answer some of these questions. Drawing on our fieldwork experience and research on human-orangutan-conservation interactions in rural Borneo, it offers an introduction to key social concerns in conservation, an overview of the principles of ethnographic research, a guide to some of its key methods and approaches (illustrated with case studies), and tips on analysing and reporting ethnographic findings. While grounded in a specific Southeast Asian context, it contains material that is more broadly relevant to conservationists seeking to understand and engage seriously with the social complexities that shape their work and strategies.

description: We demonstrate a new multi-wavelength technique for two-dimensional parametric modelling of galaxy surface-brightness profiles, which we have incorporated into the widely used software GALFIT. Our new method, named GALFITM, extends GALFIT3's current single-band fitting process by simultaneously using multiple images of the same galaxy to constrain a wavelength-dependent model. Each standard profile parameter may vary as a function of wavelength, with a user-definable degree of smoothness, from constant to fully free. The performance of GALFITM is evaluated by fitting elliptical Sérsic profiles to ugriz imaging data for 4026 galaxies, comprising the original SDSS imaging for 163 low redshift (v < 7000 kms) galaxies and 3863 artificially redshifted (0.01 < z < 0.25) images of the same galaxies. Comparing results from single-band and multi-band techniques, we show that GALFITM significantly improves the extraction of information, particularly from bands with low signal-to-noise ratio (e.g., u and z SDSS bands) when combined with higher signal-to-noise images. We also study systematic trends in the recovered parameters, particularly Sérsic index, that appear when one performs measurements of the same galaxies at successively higher redshifts. We argue that it is vital that studies investigating the evolution of galaxy structure are careful to avoid or correct for these biases. The resulting multi-band photometric structural parameters for our sample of 163 galaxies are provided. We demonstrate the importance of considering multi-band measurements by showing that the Sérsic indices of spiral galaxies increase to redder wavelengths, as expected for composite bulge-disk systems. Finally, for the ellipticals in our sample, which should be well-represented by single-Sérsic models, we compare our measured parameters to those from previous studies.

description: We've heard about truck thefts and delivery delays and I think most of you have seen trucks moving large items on the road while traveling. Trucks also carry packed goods such as carton boxes packed with food, clothing, building materials and home decorations or loose items such as fuel oil and containers, which are transported to a gas station.. Sometimes we notice delays in shipment delivery or problems in transporting goods using trucks. The delivery date of the goods may be delayed due to a malfunction of the truck, truck tires or engine. Imagine with me that there is a device that does the same work, and the device will send a message to the company in case the driver needs help. Moreover, help reduce the possibility of this disaster happening again in the future and protect the truck and the driver in case the truck or some goods are stolen. We have noticed that there are many companies that suffer from this problem and delay in the delivery of goods, and therefore this device helps reduce the percentage of truck loss as a result of this costing the company material losses and this affects the company’s reputation The device will sound an alert and send a message to the company to report the theft  
title: 'Homeland', Belonging and the Contested Politics of the Armenian Diaspora
Creators: name: Vardanyan, Kristina
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: For over forty decades, the notion of diaspora has been discussed in the context of global processes of de-territorialisation, transnationalism, and hybridity. Thus, ‘homeland’ became de-emphasised by postmodern critics questioning ideas of rootedness and homeland orientation. However, the Armenian diaspora has been discussed predominantly as an example of a classical or ‘victim’ diaspora, where the memory of exile, trauma, and eventual return are its key characteristics. Yet, memory is not static, nor are diasporic groups or the 'homeland'. Multiple migratory journeys, repatriation, ‘homeland’-‘hostland’ relations, conflicts, inter-group dynamics, and memory preservation play a significant role in how homeland is perceived, re-created, and experienced. This is particularly the case for the Armenian diaspora due to intertwined historical and socio-political reasons including not only the Genocide and loss of ancestral homeland, but also over a century of diasporisation, multiple migrations, assimilation, Sovietisation, the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) conflict, and the difficult socio-economic situation of the current Republic. These factors are of particular interest for this research, which explores the notion of the homeland for second and successive generations of diaspora Armenians in its multidimensionality – the homeland viewed as a physical space, shaped by dynamics of belonging and longing, affect and experiences, and the role these play in the negotiation of ‘dislocated identities’. Data were collected in the UK and the Republic of Armenia employing semistructured interviews as the main method of data collection. In addition, multi-sited field visits in Armenia and the UK were conducted, and diaspora and repatriate virtual spaces were explored. The data highlights the complexities of diasporic experiences in the ‘hostland’ and the ‘homeland’, the shifting nature of diasporic engagement, group dynamics of ‘otherness’. Focusing on the Velvet Revolution of 2018 and the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war of 2020, this study explores diasporans’ and repatriates’ engagement in ‘homeland’ politics and conflicts.

description: Measurements of temperature and density near supra-arcade current sheets suggest that plasma on unreconnected field lines may experience some degree of "pre-heating" and "pre-densification" prior to their reconnection. Models of patchy reconnection allow for heating and acceleration of plasma along reconnected field lines but do not offer a mechanism for transport of thermal energy across field lines. Here we present a model in which a reconnected flux tube retracts, deforming the surrounding layer of unreconnected field. The deformation creates constrictions that act as peristaltic pumps, driving plasma flow along affected field lines. Under certain circumstances these flows lead to shocks that can extend far out into the unreconnected field, altering the plasma properties in the affected region. These findings have direct implications for observations in the solar corona, particularly in regard to such phenomena as high temperatures near current sheets in eruptive solar flares and wakes seen in the form of descending regions of density depletion or supra-arcade downflows.

description: At present there is an effort to reconcile the results of the DAMA experiment with those from other Dark Matter experiments such as CoGeNT, CRESST, CDMS, and all LXe experiments. The author suggests a new model describing the Dark Matter signal as the result of collisions of very light (1-to-few GeV/c^2) WIMPs with hydrogen, and compares it with currently accepted models of collisions with heavy nuclei (Na, Ge or Xe). The hydrogen target would come from H-contamination of NaI(Tl), Ge and CaWO4 crystals. Initial tuning indicates that one can explain the modulation amplitude of DAMA and CoGeNT with this model, assuming a WIMP-proton cross section between 10^33 and 10^32 cm^2. This paper should be considered to be a new idea which will need substantial new experimental input from all involved experiments.

title: ‘Never too rich or too thin’: readings about the fat body
Creators: name: Harris, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2021

description: There has been a great deal of writing already on women’s bodies, especially the overweight or ‘fat’ woman’s body, including thousands of books on dieting or weight/ fat acceptance. My thesis, however, draws on the arguments of Judith Butler both to interpret the implications of Butler’s arguments in specific ways and then to apply the implications of that interpretation to reading a range of texts (including websites, NHS policy documents and advertising materials) in this area differently. In this sense, this thesis critiques readings of Butler’s work which retain notions of a real residual body and, instead, reads in perspective in terms of what is at stake in these claims about women’s bodies. I further draw on Michel Foucault’s works on bodies and power, particularly the idea of body in a neoliberal society in order to read notions of power, surveillance, and control in perspective. I take a psychoanalytical approach to a range of texts, not to claim to discover a ‘truth’ or an answer in them through this, but as a way of reading perspective, engaging with psychoanalytical and psychological ideas (Sigmund Freud, Susie Orbach) as ways of reading ideas of the ‘fat’ female body as site of danger and disgust (Mary Douglas, Julia Kristeva). This production of a ‘proper’ and ‘desirable’ body in texts which define bodies in this way (David Bainbridge), leads to questions on what should be done with improper, undesirable bodies, and what implications that produces in the removal of this undesirability. The purpose of the thesis, then, is not to add yet another ‘solution’ to how to lose weight or how to accept the body, but instead to analyse the ‘body’ and ‘fat’ as constructions and to read in what perspective those constructions are claimed to be known.

description: This work presents new integral data measured at the ASP 14 MeV neutron irradiation facility at Aldermaston in the UK, which has recently become available for fusion-related work through the CCFE materials programme. Measurements of reaction products from activation experiments using elemental foils were carried out using gamma spectrometry in a high efficiency, high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector and associated digital signal processing hardware. Following irradiation and rapid extraction to the measurement cell, gamma emissions were acquired with both energy and time bins. Integral cross section and half-life data have been derived from these measurements. Selected integral cross section values are presented from the measurement campaigns.

Two populations of gamma-ray burst radio afterglows

description: The detection rate of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows is only ~30% at radio wavelengths, much lower than in the X-ray (~95%) or optical (~70%) bands. The cause of this low radio detection rate has previously been attributed to limited observing sensitivity. We use visibility stacking to test this idea, and conclude that the low detection rate is instead due to two intrinsically different populations of GRBs, radio bright and radio faint. We calculate that no more than 70% of GRB afterglows are truly radio bright, leaving a significant population of GRBs that lack a radio afterglow. These radio bright GRBs have higher gamma-ray fluence, isotropic energies, X-ray fluxes and optical fluxes than the radio faint GRBs, confirming the existence of two physically distinct populations. We suggest that the gamma-ray efficiency of the prompt emission is responsible for the difference between the two populations. We also discuss the implications for future radio and optical surveys.

description: A number of novel experimental and theoretical results have recently been obtained on active soft matter, demonstrating the various interesting universal and anomalous features of this kind of driven systems. Here we consider a fundamental but still unexplored aspect of the patterns arising in the system of actively moving units, i.e., their segregation taking place when two kinds of them with different adhesive properties are present. The process of segregation is studied by a model made of self-propelled particles such that the particles have a tendency to adhere only to those which are of the same kind. The calculations corresponding to the related differential equations can be made in parallel, thus a powerful GPU card allows large scale simulations. We find that the segregation kinetics is very different from the non-driven counterparts and is described by the new scaling exponents $z\simeq 1$ and $z\simeq 0.8$ for the 1:1 and the non-equal ratio of the two constituents, respectively. Our results are in agreement with a recent observation of segregating tissue cells \emph{in vitro}.

description: We present a method to calculate the nonrelativistic hamiltonian for the minimal Standard-Model Extension matter sector in a uniform gravitational field. The resulting hamiltonian coincides with earlier results in the corresponding limits but it also includes spin-dependent terms that were previously unknown. The phenomenology associated with this hamiltonian is briefly discussed.

title: Страх перед адом как интенциональная характеристика сознания героев романов Дж.Джойса «Портрет художника в юности» и В.Пелевина «Непобедимое солнце»

description: Экзистенциал страха перед адом в романах Дж.Джойса «Портрет художника в юности» и В.Пелевина «Непобедимое солнце» исследуется как перцептивный момент человеческого сознания на переломе эпох при интенсивном обращении к прошлому. Принцип феноменологической редукции Э.Гуссерля позволяет обособить сознание и исследовать границы его интенциональности с целью увидеть изменения способов влияния страха перед адом на повседневность в длительном историческом времени, включая большие исторические контексты. Постмодернистское обыгрывание Пелевиным двух исторических эпох (поздней античности и современности) переосмысляет отношение к модернистскому восприятию бытия как предмета переживания сознанием времени героями романа «Портрет художника в юности». Поэтому джойсовское историческое время становится образцом специфической хронологии ретроспектив и перспектив у современного автора. Обращение Пелевина к позднеантичным и христианским формам страха дает возможность представить страх не просто одним из экзистенциалов бытия, но условием персонализации опыта в постмодернистской реальности, а также как один из способов преодоления экзистенциалистского «большого нарратива». Поэтому постоянная редефиниция границ личного опыта у Пелевина становится результатом переосмысления модернистской комбинаторики Джойса, но с учетом достижений современной философской мысли, открывающей бесконечное число альтернативных вселенных и берущей за основу уже не подлинную реальность, а только ощущение от нее.

description: We present a detailed study of McNeil's nebula (V1647 Ori) in its ongoing outburst phase starting from September 2008 to March 2013. Our 124 nights of photometric observations were carried out in optical V, R, I and near-infrared J, H, K bands, and 59 nights of medium resolution spectroscopic observations were done in 5200 - 9000 Ang wavelength range. All observations were carried out with 2-m Himalayan Chandra Telescope and 2-m IUCAA Girawali Telescope. Our observations show that over last four and a half years, V1647 Ori and the region C near Herbig-Haro object, HH 22A, have been undergoing a slow dimming at a rate of ~0.04 mag/yr and ~0.05 mag/yr respectively in R-band, which is 6 times slower than the rate during similar stage of V1647 Ori in 2003 outburst. We detected change in flux distribution over the reflection nebula implying changes in circumstellar matter distribution between 2003 and 2008 outbursts. Apart from steady wind of velocity ~350 km/s we detected two episodic magnetic reconnection driven winds. Forbidden [O I] 6300 Ang and [Fe II] 7155 Ang lines were also detected implying shock regions probably from jets. We tried to explain the outburst timescales of V1647 Ori using the standard models of FUors kind of outburst and found that pure thermal instability models like Bell & Lin (1994) cannot explain the variations in timescales. In the framework of various instability models we conclude that one possible reason for sudden ending of 2003 outburst in 2005 November was due to a low density region or gap in the inner region (~ 1 AU) of the disc.

description: The aim of the JET ITER-like Wall Project was to provide JET with the plasma facing material combination now selected for the DT phase of ITER (bulk beryllium main chamber limiters and a full tungsten divertor) and, in conjunction with the upgraded neutral beam heating system, to achieve ITER relevant conditions. The design of the bulk Be plasma facing components had to be compatible with increased heating power and pulse length, as well as to reuse the existing tile supports originally designed to cope with disruption loads from carbon based tiles and be installed by remote handling. Risk reduction measures (prototypes, jigs, etc) were implemented to maximize efficiency during the shutdown. However, a large number of clashes with existing components not fully captured by the configuration model occurred. Restarting the plasma on the ITER-like Wall proved much easier than for the carbon wall and no deconditioning by disruptions was observed. Disruptions have been more threatening than expected due to the reduced radiative losses compared to carbon, leaving most of the plasma magnetic energy to be conducted to the wall and requiring routine disruption mitigation. The main chamber power handling has achieved and possibly exceeded the design targets.

description: We show that a huge thermoelectric effect can be observed by contacting a superconductor whose density of states is spin-split by a Zeeman field with a ferromagnet with a non-zero polarization. The resulting thermopower exceeds $k_B/e$ by a large factor, and the thermoelectric figure of merit $ZT$ can far exceed unity, leading to heat engine efficiencies close to the Carnot limit. We also show that spin-polarized currents can be generated in the superconductor by applying a temperature bias.
