UCM-NetV2: An efficient and accurate deep learning model for skin lesion segmentation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Accurate segmentation of skin lesions from dermoscopic images is crucial for early skin cancer detection, yet variations in lesion appearance and image artifacts present challenges. This study proposes an efficient deep learning model, UCM-NetV2, to improve accuracy and computational efficiency. UCM-NetV2 enhances the UCM-Net architecture with a novel ''cyber-structure'' com- bining Multilayer Perceptron and CNN layers, improving prediction accuracy while maintaining an ultra-lightweight design with only 0.046 million parameters. Evaluations on the ISIC2017 and ISIC2018 datasets demonstrate that UCM-NetV2 outperforms existing methods in accuracy and com- putational efficiency, achieving up to 67 times faster inference speeds than U-Net and requiring less than 0.04 GFLOPs. These advancements make skin lesion analysis more accessible, particularly in resource-limited settings, enabling proactive skin health monitoring and facilitating teledermatology. To foster further innovation in mobile health diagnostics, the source code for UCM-NetV2 is on https://github.com/chunyuyuan/UCMV2-Net.
Chronic Concealment and Awareness in the Affective Worlds of Young People Living With Chronic Illness

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

From the onset of chronic illness, a variety of challenges emerge—challenges that both persist and evolve as life progresses. For young adults living with chronic illness, the age-specific difficulties of becoming ill while young form a foundation that shapes their experience of illness in enduring ways. This paper draws on a series of in-depth qualitative interviews with 33 young adults (aged 19–29 years old) living with a range of chronic illnesses, including fatigue syndromes, auto-immune diseases, and neurological conditions. Participants demonstrated an emergent chronic consciousness of how others perceived their health, which created a series of fraught affective tussles centered on relational recognition and feared judgment. This article explores the difficulties and concerns participants had when communicating the nature and realities of illness; the emotional toll of attempting to avoid attention and judgment from others regarding their conditions; and the ways in which others could productively and sensitively acknowledge participants’ illness experiences. We demonstrate that the process of learning how to navigate these issues was one important way that participants began to integrate their illness (and its implications) into their emerging sense of self and adult life.
Servey of voluminous forage crops growing in Croatia

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Environmental conditions in Croatia are suitable for a varied crop production.Meadows and pasture lands occupied in total 1.57 million ha or 49 % of agricultural land capacity (status of 1991) in Croatia and they are main aource of feed.However, yields are relatively low, especially on pastures (only 0.45 t/ha).Absence of fertilization or very moderate fertilization are main reason for this situation.Alfalfa and clovers were grown on 112000 ha and these two crops have share in total hay production in level of 30 %, while their share in harvested area is about 7 % of agricultural land.In this study was shown survey of voluminous forage crops growing in Croatia and our experiences in improvement of alfalfa hay and protein yield under environmental conditions of the Eastern Croatia.
Gelation of Whey Protein Concentrate in Acidic Conditions:  Effect of pH

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A whey protein concentrate was obtained in acidic conditions, and heat-induced gels were prepared from it at pHs between 3.5 and 4.25. Whey protein concentrate and gels were characterized through solubility assays in different extraction solutions and SDS−PAGE of the soluble protein components. Transmittance at 660 nm of heated protein dispersions and water-holding capacity of gels were also performed. Results show that protein solubility and water-holding capacity of gels decrease when pH approaches the pI, and gels present different electrophoretic patterns. Solubility of the protein components of gels in the presence or absence of denaturing and reducing agents indicates that noncovalent bonds are responsible for the maintenance of gel structure at pHs 3.5−4.0, but in the gel prepared at pH 4.25, disulfide bonds would also be involved in the structure of the gel. Keywords: Gelation of whey proteins; whey proteins; gelation in acidic conditions

Green hydrogen revolution and its pathway towards sustainable development

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The demand surge for clean and sustainable energy has risen globally to gain a cleaner environment. Therefore, the global energy transition emphasizes hydrogen energy, particularly green hydrogen energy, as an essential energy source that emits no carbon dioxide. Green hydrogen has been prosperous in the last few years and has revolutionized the green energy sector needs. Green hydrogen energy could be employed as long-term energy storage to integrate energy from renewable energy sources with unexpected and variable characteristics in the future energy system largely comprised of renewable resources. Hence, it can enhance the electricity system’s dependability and increase the reliability of renewable energy; conversely, green hydrogen energy might help lower carbon emissions. This study gives insight through analysis of the overview and prospects of hydrogen energy. Besides, a thorough analysis is conducted on the present scenario of green hydrogen production technologies, their advancement trends, and the potential uses and roles of green hydrogen energy. The state-of-the-art green hydrogen has been highlighted, thus the developed approaches in the domain. Also, it gives an overview of the latest technologies used to produce/store/distribute green hydrogen. Moreover, a detailed description of green hydrogen utilization, distribution infrastructure, and storage technologies is given. This will help to achieve global Sustainable Development Goals in the near future. Accordingly, 6 of 17 global Sustainable Development Goals strategy clauses were met by adopting green hydrogen as a clean energy source.
Kidney manifestations of diabetes mellitus – A Review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus, especially T2DM is on the increase worldwide and in a developing country like india, as of date approximately 30 – 40% of population are identified as having DM. Sedentary life style, obesity, increased BMI, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, delayed diagnosis and metabolic syndrome are some of the factors that lead to the development of DM. Extensive research have been conducted in this field and still more studies are being undertaken. The first organ affected in all uncontrolled DM patients is the kidney, followed by liver and cardiac. Kidney disease predominantly account for increased mortality among T2DM and is the main cause of CKD as well as DN. Treatment of CKD due to uncontrolled T2DM is still controversial because of the scarcity of evidence available. MA plays a significant role in screening pre and established DM. Increased levels of urate is identified as one of the metabolic disturbances in T2DM. This review article summaries the research findings during the last two decades on the manifestations of kidney disease in T2DM.

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We have developed highly efficient red, green and blue (RGB) top‐emitting organic light‐emitting devices (TOLEDs) by using Ag as anode and cathode. We optimized microcavity effect in the devices by tuning suitable optical length for RGB emissions. A very saturated RGB color with CIE coordinates of (0.646, 0.353), (0.227, 0.721) and (0.135, 0.056) for RGB respectively were demonstrated and shown a color gamut of NTSC 102%. We also introduced a new hole‐injection layer to get better carrier balance in the TOLEDs with which one of the best efficiencies for red was achieved at 37.5 cd/A.
Treatment of diabetic coma with small intravenous insulin boluses.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The clinical efficacy of small intravenous boluses of insulin in treating diabetic decompensation was tested in 23 patients presenting in either a ketoacidotic or a nonketotic diabetic coma. In addition to the usual ionic and fluid replacement, the patients received hourly intravenous injections of insulin 5 IU. This dose lowered blood glucose levels in all but two patients. In the patients who responded the percentage decrease in glycaemia was similar whatever the initial glucose concentration and averaged (+/-SE of mean) 50+/-3% in five hours. Close monitoring of insulin and glucose concentrations after intravenous insulin in three patients showed that despite the short half life of insulin the effect of the intravenous bolus lasted for about 60 minutes. The overall clinical effectiveness of this type of treatment is comparable to that of the other low-dose regimens. Owing to its simplicity, this technique of insulin administration seems most suitable for the routine treatment of diabetic coma.

LPTHE-96-46/; IFUMilano-546/FT NON LINEAR INTEGRAL EQUATION AND EXCITED–STATES SCALING FUNCTIONS IN THE SINE-GORDON MODEL

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The NLIE (the non-linear integral equation equivalent to the Bethe Ansatz equations for finite size) is generalized to excited states, that is states with holes and complex roots over the antiferromagnetic ground state. We consider the sine-Gordon/massive Thirring model (sG/mT) in a periodic box of length L using the light-cone approach, in which the sG/mT model is obtained as the continuum limit of an inhomogeneous six vertex model. This NLIE is an useful starting point to compute the spectrum of excited states both analytically in the large L (perturbative) and small L (conformal) regimes as well as numerically. We derive the conformal weights of the Bethe states with holes and nonstring complex roots (close and wide roots) in the UV limit. These weights agree with the Coulomb gas description, yielding a UV conformal spectrum related by duality to the IR conformal spectrum of the six vertex model. I.
Realities in the sexuality of the cuban elderly

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objective : To identify references on the main sexuality characteristics of people aged 60 or over . Method: An analysis of the contents of published articles was carried out in Cuban and foreign scientifi publications from the year 2000 and onward. Information was obtained from Yearbooks, International Conference Reports and works considered as classical in the subject. Results : Population ageing and sexuality are not properly considered by health systems. There are only a few references that explore sexuality in the elderly and his aspirations, feelings, and ways of thinking on his healthcare and, more specifially, sexuality needs. Intimacy within an elderly couple is generally disregarded from the social and family points of view. Conclusions : The assessment of sexual activity in the elderly lacks a multidisciplinary approach since most of the predominating criteria are permeated by cultural inflences, taboos, myths and habits that negatively inflence it. Evidence points out to the existence of sexual activity and dysfunctions among the elderly, which indicates the need for a healthcare staf that has is properly trained for approaching any issue related to this activity of life. The determining role of the health sector in this fild as coordinator of all the sectors and actors related to human sexuality and the ageing process, is not fully appreciated
Diplopia as a sign of third nerve palsy due to intracranial aneurysm: a case report.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Third nerve palsies that result from head injuries or intracranial aneurysms may sometimes show symptoms of aberrant regeneration and only partially heal. The usual characteristics of oculomotor nerve palsy, caused by compression of the third cranial nerve, are severe ptosis, deficiencies in elevation, depression, and adduction, and a dilated, poorly responding pupil on the afflicted side. The parasympathetic fibres are usually spared from a vasculopathic lesion and impacted by compressive lesions because they are situated in the peripheral segment of the oculomotor nerve as it leaves the brain stem. When pupillary mydriasis coexists with acute third cranial nerve palsy, an aneurysm at the junction of the internal carotid and posterior communicating arteries has to be thoroughly and quickly explored using the necessary neuroimaging techniques.
Virtual Topology Design of Multiservice Optical Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Wavelength division multiplexing is the most effective way to take advantage of the huge transmission bandwidth provided by the optical media, but the possibility of increasing transmission speed by sharing the same physical link with many optical channels is not the only feature allowed by this technology.Wavelength division multiplexing can also be used to route traffic transparently through some network nodes, thus requiring less electronic data processing at intermediate nodes of a certain traffic route.In such a wavelength-routed network, the traffic is routed through a virtual topology, composed by concatenated ligthpaths embedded in the physical topology of fiber links.This work proposes a new approach to the virtual topology design problem in the core of the Mixed-Integer Linear Program formulation, suitable for a multiservice optical networks.This new formulation allows traffic partitioning in classes and differentiated delay constraining for each traffic class, providing an analysis of its influence on congestion.
Study of wettability, structural and optical properties of zinc oxide nanorod array coated with gold thin layer

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) has gained much attention in the modern technology world due to their varied uses. ZnO nanorod array coated with gold thin layer especially seem to provide much more benefits outweighed to just ZnO nanorod itself. However, to our best knowledge, ZnO nanorod array coated with gold thin layer have not been thoroughly researched in their reversible wettability and optical properties relating to self cleaning applications. In this study, hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorod array were prepared and subsequently coated with thin gold layers. The samples were characterized based on wettability, morphological and optical properties mainly using, Water contact angle Goniometer, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Roughness Testing and Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. The obtained experimental data revealed that the ZnO nanorod array coated with gold thin layers possessed reversible wettability properties upon application of Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure and reversed upon placing the samples into a dark box. The optical properties of the samples showed great improvement especially with a thicker coating of gold. This property is beneficial for solar cell applications and also for self-cleaning uses where absorption will bring about improvement in reversal wettability properties.
Urban Indian adolescents practise unhealthy dietary behaviours

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Purpose The rising prevalence of obesity among Indian adolescents has underscored the need to develop effective strategies to reduce this epidemic. The purpose of this paper is to assess the patterns of snacking, meal consumption and fast food consumption among adolescents in private schools in Kolkata, India. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional, paper-based, self-administered dietary and lifestyle survey was completed by 1,026 year-nine students aged 14–16 years. Cross-tabulation analyses were performed to compare the frequencies of various dietary behaviours across gender. Findings The two most common episodes for snacking among respondents were while watching television (57.9 per cent) and while interacting with peers (54.1 per cent). In contrast, snacking throughout the day (8.7 per cent) and in the middle of the night (7.8 per cent) were minimally practiced by the adolescents. The most regularly consumed meal was lunch (94.6 per cent), whereas the most frequently missed meal was breakfast (14.0 per cent). Fast food was most frequently consumed as snacks (26.8 per cent) but least frequently consumed for lunch (9.2 per cent). Overall, boys exhibited more unhealthy dietary behaviours than girls. Practical implications These findings highlight the need to develop nutrition education programmes for nutritionally vulnerable adolescents which communicate the importance of regular meal consumption, reduced intake of fast food and less snacking on energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods. Originality/value This is the first cross-sectional survey to investigate patterns of snacking, meal consumption and fast food consumption amongst urban Indian adolescents.
Tetanus in Nigeria

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

MMICAL JOURNALother side-effect encountered was tinnitus in one patient; this and other aural disturbances have been described as rare complications of other amino-uracil derivatives.No toxic effects were observed following the use of amiso- metradine.In the American reports quoted, skin reactions were rare, and leucopenia was described in one case.The diuresis produced by aminometradine is accompanied by excretion of sodium and chloride in approximately equal amounts, with a small increase in potassium loss (Platts and Hanley, 1956).A similar loss of electrolytes accompanied by diuresis follows the administration of amisometradine to dogs (Van Arman et al., 1957), and this is presumed to occur in man.The precise mode of action on the kidney is not yet known. SummaryThe effect of amisometradine (rolicton), a new oral diuretic, has been tested in 20 patients with heart failure.In doses of 400 mg.three times daily over a period of two consecutive days it was found to have 40% of the diuretic potency of 2 ml. of mersalyl intramuscularly.The drug was relatively free from side-effects, in respect of both gastro-intestinal tolerance and toxic reactions.

The research was conducted to study rumen fermentation product from fermented rice straw (FRS) with lignochloritik isolates. Metode : Isolates type LC1 (TLiD). LC2 (BopR) as first factor and incubation duration (0,3,7,12 dan 18 days) were used in this experiment, and replicated thrice. In vitro gas production was measured at 0, 4, 8, 16, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours incubation. The parameter included (a) gas production at 0 hours, (b) gas production potency, and (c) gas production rate that were measured by NAWAY programe. At the of fermentatio, supernatanr used for rumen VFA and NH 3 . Hasil : Gas production increase along incubation time. The highest gas production was reached at 96 hours incubation for control (63,167 ml/500 mg BK). FRS gas production lower than control, but the organic matter degradation higher than control. Isolates gave highly signficant (P<0.01) influence into VFA and NH 3. Interaction isolates type and incubation duration has significant (P<0.05) effect into VFA dan NH3 production. Acetic, propionic, and butyric production with LC2 higher than LC1 and LC3. On the other hand, NH3 production with LC3 higher LC2 and LC3. Fermentation with lignochloritik in rice straw increased synthesis microbes. The highest VFA and NH3 production were reached at third days with BOpR and TLiD .
