Abstract:

The article considers the numeric rhythm as one of the subtypes of the morphological rhythm – a phenomenon that represents a wavy periodic alternation of certain morphological forms in the structure of a poem or its fragment. The actuality of the research is determined by insufficient study of the phenomenon of the numeric rhythm and its connection with the composition-thematic structure of the poetic work in modern linguistics. The purpose of the article is to analyse the texts with the numeric rhythm. The main tasks of the article are the identification of features and regularities of the numeric rhythm, as well as its connection with the composition-thematic structure of the poetic work. In the article it is proved (as a case study of the poetical works by Hennadii Ayhi, Yurii Riashentsev and Yulia Olefir) that the numeric rhythm as an alternation of singular and plural grammemes contributes to the actualization of the idea of separation, barrier, contrast or opposition, which often results in the motive of separation in a poetical work. It is asserted that in some cases the numeric rhythm is intensified by the gender rhythm, which is an alternation of grammemes of the masculine and feminine gender, in order to actualise the motive of a couple’s splitting up. At the same time, the absence of neuter gender grammemes is significant.

Abstract:

Opioid therapy must be adjusted to the rhythm of a cancer patient’s pain to ensure adequate symptom control at the end of life (EOL). However, to-date no study has explored the rhythm of breakthrough pain (BTP) episodes in terminally-ill cancer patients. This prospective longitudinal study was aimed at verifying the existence of a circadian rhythm of BTP episodes in terminally-ill cancer patients. Consecutive adult cancer patients at their EOL treated with long-acting major opioids to control background pain (Numeric Rating Scale ≤ 3/10) were recruited from two Italian palliative care services. Using a personal diary, patients recorded the frequency and onset of BTP episodes and the analgesic rescue therapy taken for each episode over a 7-day period. Rhythms identified in BTP episodes were validated by Cosinor analysis. Overall, 101 patients were enrolled; nine died during the study period. A total of 665 BTP episodes were recorded (average of 7.2 episodes, mean square error 0.8) per patient, with 80.6% of episodes recorded between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. At Cosinor analysis, a circadian rhythm of BTP episodes was observed, with a Midline Estimating Statistics of the Rhythm (MESOR) of 1.5, a double amplitude of 1.8, and an acrophase at 12:30 p.m. (p < 0.001). Oral morphine was the most frequent analgesic rescue therapy employed. In terminally-ill cancer patients, BTP episodes follow a circadian rhythm; thus, tailoring the timing of opioid administration to this rhythm may prevent such episodes. This circadian rhythm of BTP episodes in terminally-ill cancer patients should be confirmed in larger samples.

Abstract:

In one of his last compositions, A Bird came down the Walk (1995), Tōru Takemitsu uses numbers to organize all parameters of the work and to create an association between the chords ju and gyo, as produced on the traditional Japanese wind instrument shō, and Messiaen's seven modes à transpositions limitées. With the help of the numbers three, seven, and nine, form and meter build a palindromic architecture around the middle measure of the piece (m. 30), where the piano plays in Messiaen's fourth mode. In Japanese, the words for "four" and "death" are associated because both are pronounced shi, and thus A Bird may contain a reference to the deaths in 1992 of Olivier Messiaen and John Cage. The rigidity of the numeric structure is softened by the application of Messiaen's valeur ajoutée on all levels. Added values are essential in Takemitsu's technique for designing chords, melodies, and rhythms, breaking up the rigorous symmetry of the serial technique. The omnipresent Japanese philosophical concept ma refers to the unity of space and time (harmony and rhythm) that obtains meaning when filled with motion (tempo). The tempo indications in A Bird appear to create unity among all the parameters in a truly Western, mid-twentieth-century, and serialistic understanding of the term.

Abstract:

Introduction: The current approach to assessing bradykinesia in Parkinson’s Disease relies on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), which is a numeric scale. Inertial sensors offer the ability to probe subcomponents of bradykinesia: motor speed, amplitude, and rhythm. Thus, we sought to investigate the differential effects of high-frequency compared to low-frequency subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) on these quantified facets of bradykinesia. Methods: We recruited advanced Parkinson’s Disease subjects with a chronic bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS implantation to a single-blind stimulation trial where each combination of medication state (OFF/ON), electrode contacts, and stimulation frequency (60 Hz/180 Hz) was assessed. The Kinesia One sensor system was used to measure upper limb bradykinesia. For each stimulation trial, subjects performed extremity motor tasks. Sensor data were recorded continuously. We identified STN DBS parameters that were associated with improved upper extremity bradykinesia symptoms using a mixed linear regression model. Results: We recruited 22 subjects (6 females) for this study. The 180 Hz STN DBS (compared to the 60 Hz STN DBS) and dopaminergic medications improved all subcomponents of upper extremity bradykinesia (motor speed, amplitude, and rhythm). For the motor rhythm subcomponent of bradykinesia, ventral contacts yielded improved symptom improvement compared to dorsal contacts. Conclusion: The differential impact of high- and low-frequency STN DBS on the symptoms of bradykinesia may advise programming for these patients but warrants further investigation. Wearable sensors represent a valuable addition to the armamentarium that furthers our ability to conduct objective, quantitative clinical assessments.

Abstract:

Background: Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome often suffer from fragmentary sleep. This study was designed to assess the effectiveness of treatment with ultramicronized palmitoylethanolamide in reducing pain intensity and improving quality of sleep in patients with neuropathic pain due to carpal tunnel syndrome. Methods: An open, controlled study was conducted on 42 patients awaiting carpal tunnel syndrome surgery, suffering from sleep disorders and painful symptoms and randomized into two groups. One group received ultramicronized palmitoylethanolamide (600 mg twice daily) during the pre- and postsurgery periods, while the other group did not receive any treatment except surgical therapy. The primary outcome measure was sleep quality assessment by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, with secondary outcome as painful symptomatology intensity evaluated by the Numeric Rating Scale. Results: At the end of the pre-surgery period (T1) there was a highly significant improvement (p<0.0001) in overall sleep quality with an increase of continuous sleep time and a reduction of sleep latency and disturbances as well as a significant mitigation (p<0.0001) of painful symptoms in favor of the treated group. Conclusion: Disturbed sleep patterns are very common in patients suffering from neuropathic pain due to carpal tunnel syndrome. Our results, albeit preliminary, suggest that ultramicronized palmitoylethanolamide administration favors a clear improvement of sleep quality, confirming a correlation between sleep disorders and pain intensity.

Abstract:

Background: Brain injuries are a common problem in combat sports, especially in disciplines such as kickboxing. Kickboxing is a combat sport that has several variations of competition, with the most contact-oriented fights being carried out under the format of K-1 rules. While these sports require a high level of skill and physical endurance, frequent micro-traumas to the brain can have serious consequences for the health and well-being of athletes. According to studies, combat sports are one of the riskiest sports in terms of brain injuries. Among the sports disciplines with the highest number of brain injuries, boxing, mixed martial arts (MMA), and kickboxing are mentioned. Methods: The study was conducted on a group of 18 K-1 kickboxing athletes who demonstrate a high level of sports performance. The subjects were between the ages 18 and 28. QEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram) is a numeric spectral analysis of the EEG record, where the data is digitally coded and statistically analysed using the Fourier transform algorithm. Each examination of one person lasts about 10 min with closed eyes. The wave amplitude and power for specific frequencies (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Sensorimotor Rhythm (SMR), Beta 1, and Beta2) were analysed using 9 leads. Results: High values were shown in the Alpha frequency for central leads, SMR in the Frontal 4 (F4 lead), Beta 1 in leads F4 and Parietal 3 (P3), and Beta2 in all leads. Conclusions: The high activity of brainwaves such as SMR, Beta and Alpha can have a negative effect on the athletic performance of kickboxing athletes by affecting focus, stress, anxiety, and concentration. Therefore, it is important for athletes to monitor their brainwave activity and use appropriate training strategies to achieve optimal results.

Abstract:

Background: The development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is influenced by many risk factors, such as tobacco use, an unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity, that could result in obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. Continuing exposure to these risk factors can be prevented by routine screening for populations without any clinical symptoms. This study was conducted to obtain data on cardiometabolic profiles of people who participated in the Community Service Program of the Department of Cardiology and Vascular Disease, University of Sumatera Utara. Method: This research was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional research design. The study aims to screen for the cardiometabolic profile in the people of Tebing Tinggi City. Cardiovascular risk factors were obtained from interviewing the participants and on-the-spot examination with validated measurement tools. All data were processed and analyzed statistically using SPSS ver.26. Categorical variables are presented with frequency (n) and percentage (%). Numeric variables are presented with mean and standard deviation (SD) values for normally distributed data. As for the normal non-distributed data numerical variables are presented with the middle value (median) and the interquartile range. Results: All subjects in this study (n= 102) are 39 male and 63 female. Most participants were in the 4th to 5th decade, with normal heart rates and normal sinus rhythm. Most female participants had a low risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the male had intermediate risk. Most participants had normal random blood sugar and total cholesterol but mostly had obesity. Near 20-30% of participants were grade I and II systolic hypertensives but normally had diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion: In this study, most of the cardiometabolic risks of patients in the Community Service program were obesity, followed by hypertension.

Abstract:

The paper attempts to identify seasonal variability of groundwater table in the Pilica catchment. Procedure created by Ch. G. Markham was used. It allows to compare results with analogical characteristics of other aquifers from central Poland. Sixteen piezometers were used for the research.They represent shallow aquifers located in the Pilica catchment and its surrounding and they are part of a measurement network of PIG-PIB (years from 2003 till 2014 were used). All of the aquifers with 10 years data series were chosen for the analyzed group. They represent the whole spectrum of occurrence of groundwaters in the Pilica catchment.Before the analysis homogeneity of time series was checked by two statistical tests: parametric F-Snedecor test (exams null hypothesis about variance equality) and non-parametric series test (exams null hypothesis about origin of two samples from the same general population). All of numeric strings were statistically homogeneous.Time series of mean monthly depth to groundwater table in all piezometers were changed into groundwater ordinates. In that way, maximum values are compared with the maximum level of groundwater table. Next, for all the aquifers the Markham characteristics of seasonal variability were calculated. First of them is seasonality index (IS) and it ranges from 0 to 100%. The second characteristic is time of concentration (WPK). During the interpretation of WPK values it is important to remember that this characteristic shows only time of concentration (it must not be associated with terms of maximum level of the examined phenomenon).Aquifers in the Pilica catchment are characterized by differential seasonality index raning from 1 to 30%. It means that rhythm of groundwater table changes is not seasonal in part of aquifers. Despite that, the seasonal variability of groundwater level is stronger in the Pilica catchment than in other aquifers in central Poland (IS is on average almost double). Time of concentration coefficients are differential too. They occur from February to July in the Pilica catchment, while in the whole central Poland they are concentrated in two terms (late winter and summer). Unlike other parts of central Poland, changes of groundwater resources are characterized by poor correlation with hydrogeological parameters of aquifers or mean depth to the groundwater level in piezometers in the Pilica catchment.

Abstract:

Secret keys connecting users to the system is the heart of cryptographic systems. With the recent wars, several cryptographic systems that use alpha-numeric passwords have been known to be vulnerable to many attacks. Image based password systems were introduced to add more complexity and security. This paper employs human uniqueness of narrative skills on an image-based password system with focus on theme in the password generation process. To generate the secret password, a specially designed computer game was used. We used narrative constructs composed of cartoon image sequences to generate user-speciﬁc secret key. The durability of generated passwords and the authentication process while assessing the reconstruction process by a potential hacker was verified. Under imposed psychological duress, users failed retrieving the password sequence suggesting the reliability as an anti-coercive attack cybersecurity tool. A set of experiments were used to analyze user behavior behind the image-based password system. EEG measurements demonstrated increased activity of α rhythms in F3 and FC5 channel bins and augmented levels of β rhythms in F3 and O1 channels, suggesting users added personalization to authentication more than in alpha-numeric password-based logins.

Abstract:

Indoor non-air-conditioned environments widely exist in the summer high temperature weather. The work efficiency of the people who stay indoors for a long time is seriously affected by the indoor high temperature. In this paper, the changes of the circadian rhythms of work efficiency in indoor high temperature environments were studied. Ten healthy subjects (five males and five females) were selected in the experiments randomly. In each experiment day, the maximum hourly outdoor temperature was selected as 28 °C, 32 °C, 36 °C, and 38 °C, respectively, to determine the experiment conditions. In each experiment condition, subjects’ response time, accuracy rate, grip strength, work willingness, and physiological parameters were monitored for 24 consecutive hours. Meanwhile, the hourly outdoor temperatures of the experiment day were accessed from the weather report during the experiment. Then the cosinor method and statistical method were adopted. The results indicated that the response time, grip strength, and work willingness followed circadian rhythms. However, the accuracy rates of the Stroop color-word test (SCWT) and numeral inspection task (NIT) did not show an obvious circadian rhythm. The effects of high temperature on the circadian rhythms of grip strength and work willingness were mainly reflected in the decreases of the median and amplitude. The effects on the response time were mainly reflected in the decrease of the median. In addition, forehead temperature showed a significant negative correlation to response time, and it could be considered as a predictor to assess the level of work efficiency. This study gives an alternative method to replace direct measurement of the ability indices at work site and provides basic data of 24 consecutive hours, for showing changes in human work efficiency. It could be helpful to predict the low performance in advance to reduce occupational accidents.

Abstract:

In St. Augustine’s doctrine of rhythm numerus manifests the metaphysical ascent from sensuousness to rationality and is the ontological root of finite beauty. Moreover, numerus is differentiated into the objective and subjective spheres, proving to be a totality, the “idea.” Meanwhile, as a formation of antique culture, this concept is not known as a real contradiction, and thereby eternal numeri are not posited as a process in which finite subjectivity, I would be a necessity for the infinite substance. So, in St. Augustine’s doctrine the essence of the science of music has not the value of man’s self-conscious activity.

Abstract:

The seismic effects on sloped terrain, which are of paramount importance for engineering design and earthquake risk mitigation, have always been a central focus of earthquake engineering research. In this study, generalized geometric models of loess ridges at varying heights were created, and a three-dimensional nonlinear numerical model was established using FLAC3D. Seismic ground motion time histories at different frequencies and actual earthquake ground motion records were input into the model to analyze the peak acceleration amplification effects experienced by the surface of loess ridges when subjected to SV waves. The study’s outcomes reveal that seismic amplification on the slopes of loess ridges is characterized by non-linearity with respect to slope height. Instead, it exhibits rhythmic variations, with the rate of change in these rhythms increasing in correspondence with the frequency of seismic motion and the height of the slope. Under low-intensity seismic motion, a linear increase in acceleration amplification is observed at the ridge’s crest concerning the height of the loess ridge. However, under high-intensity seismic motion, the relationship between amplification and slope height becomes less significant. Typically, the peak acceleration at the ridge’s crest is reported to be 1.5 to 2.5 times that observed at the slope’s base. The amplification effect at the ridge’s crest is more pronounced in the low-frequency and high-frequency segments when compared to the mid-frequency range. Conversely, significant amplification is observed in the high-frequency range in the lower sections of the slope near the base. It is further noted that the amplification effect at the ridge’s crest displays distinct behavior at different frequencies, characterized by narrow frequency bands of maximum amplification, with peak amplification factors exceeding 10 in some cases. These research findings have practical significance and provide valuable references for engineering construction and seismic risk mitigation planning in loess regions.

Abstract:

Recent studies suggest that rhythmic syncopation is a relevant predictor for groove. In order to validate these claims, a reliable measure of rhythmic syncopation is required. This article investigates whether a particular notation-based model for estimating syncopation in Western popular music drum patterns adequately predicts perceived syncopation. A listening experiment was carried out with 25 professional musicians. Six popular music drum patterns were presented to the participants in all 15 pairwise combinations, and the participants chose the pattern from each pair that was more syncopated (win), compared to the other pattern (lose). Perceived syncopation was defined as the proportion of wins for each stimulus. The experiment showed that the model works well in general, but that it overemphasises the weight of syncopes on weak metric positions. This exaggerates the syncopation value of one particular drum pattern and generally leads to inflated syncopation values in the upper syncopation range. In consequence, the fit between the model and perceived syncopation was poor, even when flexible logarithmic functions [Formula: see text], p < .001) or exponential approach functions ([Formula: see text], p < .001) were used to link the model predictions to perceived syncopation. The model was revised and a numeric optimisation process was carried out to improve its fit. The revised model produces syncopation estimates that have a linear relationship with the perceived syncopation measures and a good fit with the data ([Formula: see text], p = .469). However, this revised model is based on only six drum patterns that cover a very limited range of rhythmic phenomena. In order to create a general model of syncopation in popular music drum patterns, further modelling work is necessary that involves a larger number and a wider variety of patterns.

Abstract:

AbstractThe low-voltage cardioversion-defibrillation is a modern sparing electrotherapy method for such dangerous heart arrhythmias as paroxysmal tachycardia and fibrillation. In an excitable medium, such arrhythmias relate to appearance of spiral waves of electrical excitation, and the spiral waves are superseded to the electric boundary of the medium in the process of treatment due to high-frequency stimulation from the electrode. In this paper we consider the Aliev–Panfilov myocardial model, which provides a positive tension of three-dimensional scroll waves, and an axisymmetric model of the left ventricle of the human heart. Two relations of anisotropy are considered, namely, isotropy and physiological anisotropy. The periods of stimulation with an apical electrode are found so that the electrode successfully entrains its rhythm in the medium, the spiral wave is superseded to the base of the ventricle, and disappears. The results are compared in two-dimensional and three-dimensional media. The intervals of effective stimulation periods are sufficiently close to each other in the two-dimensional case and in the anatomical model. However, the use of the anatomical model is essential in determination of the time of superseding.

Abstract:

Background: Low back pain is a prevalent global health issue affecting individuals across all age groups, impacting their physical, mental, and social well-being. It is a significant concern in both developed and underdeveloped countries and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Chronic radicular low back pain, characterized by radiating discomfort due to neural irritation, demands effective therapeutic interventions to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of slump neural mobilization in conjunction with baseline treatments for managing chronic radicular low back pain. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted in outpatient departments of multiple hospitals, enrolling 20 participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were randomly allocated into two groups, with 10 in each group. Group A received slump neural mobilization combined with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation rhythmic stabilization and hot pack therapy. Group B received rhythmic stabilization techniques and hot pack therapy alone. Interventions were provided three times per week for five weeks. Pain intensity was assessed at baseline, the second week, and the fifth week using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale. Statistical analyses included the Mann-Whitney test for between-group comparisons and the Friedman test for within-group comparisons. Results: Between-group analysis revealed significant reductions in pain levels, with p-values of 0.018 at baseline and 0.02 at the fifth week, while results at the second week were not significant (p = 0.173). Within-group analysis using the Friedman test demonstrated statistically significant reductions in pain for both groups, with p = 0.000. In the treatment group, mean pain scores decreased from 5.70 at baseline to 3.90 at the second week and 1.40 at the fifth week, while the control group showed reductions from 4.20 at baseline to 3.30 at the second week and 2.90 at the fifth week. Conclusion: The study concluded that slump neural mobilization, when combined with baseline treatments, significantly reduced pain levels in patients with chronic radicular low back pain. These findings support its incorporation as an effective non-invasive intervention in physical therapy.

Abstract Numerical modeling of time series of observations of Yakutsk meteorological station was used for the first time to construct a model of heat and moisture climate variability over the course of a century cycle of solar activity (SA). The lag of precipitation relative to temperature for ¼ of the rhythmic wave was revealed. Consecutive change of climatic phases: cold-wet (CW) warm-wet (WW), cold-dry (CD) and warm-dry (WD) has been established. The nonlinearity of the solar-tropospheric relations at level of intra- and secular oscillations is confirmed. The trends and anomalies of climate changes and permafrost response for the next decades and the current century as a whole are determined.

Abstract:

The interpretation of Myocardial Infarction (MI) via electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is a challenging task. ECG signals’ morphological view show significant variation in different patients under different physical conditions. Several learning algorithms have been studied to interpret MI. However, the drawback of machine learning is the use of heuristic features with shallow feature learning architectures. To overcome this problem, a deep learning approach is used for learning features automatically, without conventional handcrafted features. This paper presents sequence modeling based on deep learning with recurrent network for ECG-rhythm signal classification. The recurrent network architecture such as a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) is proposed to automatically interpret MI via ECG signal. The performance of the proposed method is compared to the other recurrent network classifiers such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). The objective is to obtain the best sequence model for ECG signal processing. This paper also aims to study a proper data partitioning ratio for the training and testing sets of imbalanced data. The large imbalanced data are obtained from MI and healthy control of PhysioNet: The PTB Diagnostic ECG Database 15-lead ECG signals. According to the comparison result, the LSTM architecture shows better performance than standard RNN and GRU architecture with identical hyper-parameters. The LSTM architecture also shows better classification compared to standard recurrent networks and GRU with sensitivity, specificity, precision, F1-score, BACC, and MCC is 98.49%, 97.97%, 95.67%, 96.32%, 97.56%, and 95.32%, respectively. Apparently, deep learning with the LSTM technique is a potential method for classifying sequential data that implements time steps in the ECG signal.

Abstract:

The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak led to an inevitable and drastic transition to online training systems. This study aimed to analyze the differences between live-streaming and pre-recorded training modalities in rhythmic gymnastics (RG) with coaches and gymnasts of different technical levels. A total of 238 coaches and 277 athletes affiliated with the Italian Gymnastics Federation (FGI) participated in the study. The data collection tool was a self-collected questionnaire structured in three sections: participant’s information, characteristics of live-streaming training, and characteristics of pre-recorded training. A 2 × 2 ANOVA was used for each numeric variable. A Pearson’s chi-squared test was used for each categorical variable. For the athletes, training frequency, motivation, and efficacy were significantly higher (p < 0.05) with live streaming (3.7 ± 1.5 day/week, 3.8 ± 0.9 score and 3.8 ± 0.8 score, respectively) than with a pre-recorded modality (2.2 ± 1.7 day/week, 3.1 ± 1.2 score and 3.7 ± 0.9 score, respectively), while for coaches, significant differences (p < 0.005) were found between the two modalities only for training frequency (live streaming, 3.6 ± 1.8 days/week vs. pre-recorded, 2.1 ± 1.7 days/week). The adherence (number of No:Yes) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) for the live-streaming modality than for the pre-recorded modality in gold athletes (1:74 vs. 14:61, respectively), silver athletes (12:190 vs. 28:174, respectively), and gold coaches (3:63 vs. 11:55, respectively), but it was not for silver coaches. Physical preparation was performed significantly (p < 0.005) more often (number of No:Yes) for live streaming than for the pre-recorded modality by gold athletes (9:66 vs. 34:41, respectively), silver athletes (25:177 vs. 77:125, respectively), gold coaches (8:58 vs. 37:29), and silver coaches (33:139 vs. 85:87, respectively). Free body technical preparation was performed significantly (p < 0.005) more often (number of No:Yes) for live streaming than for the pre-recorded modality by gold athletes (15:60 vs. 39:36, respectively), silver athletes (84:118 vs. 121:81, respectively), gold coaches (10:56 vs. 38:28), and silver coaches (60:112 vs. 105:67, respectively), while no differences were found for silver athletes’ and coaches’ technical preparations for apparatus training between the two modalities. In conclusion, live streaming had greater positive effects on RG training during home confinement. However, pre-recorded training could be more effective for some types of training, depending on the technical level of the athletes.

Abstract:

For over four decades, carbon dioxide (CO2) has been instrumental in enhancing oil extraction through advanced recovery techniques. One such method, water alternating gas (WAG) injection, while effective, grapples with limitations like gas channeling and gravity segregation. To tackle the aforementioned issues, this paper proposes an upgrade coupling method named alkaline-surfactant-polymer alternating gas (ASPAG). ASP flooding and CO2 are injected alternately into the reservoir to enhance the recovery of the WAG process. The uniqueness of this method lies in the fact that polymers could help profile modification, CO2 would miscible mix with oil, and alkaline surfactant would reduce oil–water interfacial tension (IFT). To analyze the feasibility of ASPAG, a couples model considering both gas flooding and ASP flooding processes is established by using the CMG-STARS (Version 2021) to study the performance of ASPAG and compare the recovery among ASPAG, WAG, and ASP flooding. Our research delved into the ASPAG’s adaptability across reservoirs varying in average permeability, interlayer heterogeneity, formation rhythmicity, and fluid properties. Key findings include that ASPAG surpasses the conventional WAG in sweep and displacement efficiency, elevating oil recovery by 12–17%, and in comparison to ASP, ASPAG bolsters displacement efficiency, leading to a 9–11% increase in oil recovery. The primary flooding mechanism of ASPAG stems from the ASP slug’s ability to diminish the interfacial tension, enhancing the oil and water mobility ratio, which is particularly efficient in medium-high permeability layers. Through sensitivity analysis, ASPAG is best suited for mid-high-permeability reservoirs characterized by low crude oil viscosity and a composite reverse sedimentary rhythm. This study offers invaluable insights into the underlying mechanisms and critical parameters that influence the alkaline-surfactant-polymer alternating gas method’s success for enhanced oil recovery. Furthermore, it unveils an innovative strategy to boost oil recovery in medium-to-high-permeability reservoirs.

Abstract:

In biochemical dynamical systems during each transition between periodical behaviors, all metabolic intermediaries of the system oscillate with the same frequency but with different phase-shifts. We have studied the behavior of phase-shift records obtained from random transitions between periodic solutions of a biochemical dynamical system. The phase-shift data were analyzed by means of Hurst's rescaled range method (introduced by Mandelbrot and Wallis). The results show the existence of persistent behavior: each value of the phase-shift depends not only on the recent transitions, but also on previous ones. In this paper, the different kind of periodic solutions were determined by different small values of the control parameter. It was assessed the significance of this results through extensive Monte Carlo simulations as well as quantifying the long-range correlations. We have also applied this type of analysis on cardiac rhythms, showing a clear persistent behavior. The relationship of the results with the cellular persistence phenomena conditioned by the past, widely evidenced in experimental observations, is discussed.

Abstract:

This sound art composition is a meditation on the arbitrariness of linguistic signs and the idea that language has no positive terms: "signs have no special right to mean something in particular and not something else" (Bignell: 9). As a first-time father, the interactions I have with my four-year-old daughter are mostly related to my responsibility to facilitate her sensory exploration of the world around her. This includes supporting her formalisation of linguistic expression and numeracy skills through story recall and construction, number identification, and pattern/rhythm awareness. These language-based learning activities benefit early childhood development by progressing a child's social awareness, confidence and resiliency. A tension exists, therefore, between the power of language as a vital navigational tool and the unassailable instability of meaning. As a creative response, this composition features extracts from audio recordings of our conversations. The fragments of utterances, like the synthetic buzzing that returns and haunts, shift between audibility and inaudibility, meaning and non-meaning. Each time it's played, digital audio technology brings our absence into the present; we become acousmatic textures inside the body of the listener who "cannot listen away as one can look away" (Connor: 133), oscillating the small bones in the middle ears and sending electrical signals to the brain . Through this treatment of language, we may be emptied of meaning but not of the positive meaningfulness of our interactions.  BIGNELL, Jonathan (2002). Media Semiotics: An Introduction.

Abstract:

Effleurage is a massage technique commonly used in relaxation massage and therapeutic massage. This technique involves massaging the surface of the skin gently and repeatedly using the palms of the hands or fingers. Effleurage is usually used as part of an initial massage to prepare the client's body before deeper massage techniques are used. The gentle, rhythmic movements of effleurage help relax clients physically and mentally. This light, regular touch helps reduce muscle tension and improves blood circulation. Effleurage is used to warm up muscles and joints before a deeper massage. This helps prevent injury and makes the muscles more responsive to more intensive massage techniques. This study aimed to determine the potential of effleurage massage on the scale of back pain in third trimester pregnant women at TPMB (Midwife Independent Practice) Ratna Dewi Gunung Putri District, Bogor Regency, Indonesia. This research is an experimental research with a one group pretest-posttest design approach and uses primary data which was obtained using an assessment instrument in the form of the numeric rating scale (NRS) to determine the level of back pain in pregnant women. A total of 30 research subjects participated in this study, where the research subjects met the inclusion criteria. The research was conducted at TPMB (Midwife Independent Practice) Ratna Dewi, Gunung Putri District, Bogor Regency, Indonesia. This study shows that massage effleurage intervention is effective in reducing the intensity of back pain in pregnant women in the third trimester. There was a decrease in pain intensity after effleurage massage and it was stated to be statistically different, p<0.05. In conclusion, there is an effect of effleurage massage on back pain in third trimester pregnant women at TPMB (Midwife Independent Practice) Ratna Dewi, Gunung Putri District, Bogor Regency, Indonesia.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground: Stroke is the leading cause of disability and the second most common cause of death in the world. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the major risk factor for embolic stroke. Patients with atrial fibrillation have a 5 times much more risk of stroke to those who do not have atrial fibrillation.Case Report: A 40-year-old woman came to the Emergency Unit with chief complaints the left-sided limbs suddenly weakened while cooking. On ECG examination there is an irregular rhythm (irregular P-P), leading to an atrial fibrillation. CT scan revealed hypodense lesions on the temporal part of the left side, leading to a cerebral infarction.Discussion: AF puts patients at an increased risk for stroke because blood can ot be properly pumped, which caused stagnation and formed a blood clot. This clot can released from ventricle, then travel to the other organ via artery, including brain and block the blood flow which can result a infarct stroke. Conclusion: Close supervision and routine control are needed for patients with heart rhythm disorders, especially atrial fibrillation to prevent embolic stroke.Keywords: embolic stroke, atrial fibrilation.ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Stroke adalah penyebab utama kecacatan dan penyebab kematian paling umum kedua di dunia. Fibrilasi atrium (AF) secara numerik merupakan faktor risiko paling penting untuk stroke. Sudah dipastikan bahwa pasien dengan AF memiliki risiko stroke 5 kali lipat relatif terhadap mereka yang tidak.Laporan Kasus: Seorang perempuan 40 tahun datang ke IGD dengan keluhan anggota gerak sisi kiri secara tiba-tiba melemah saat sedang memasak. Pada pemeriksaan EKG didapatkan adanya irama ireguler (P-P ireguler), mengarah ke suatu fibrilasi atrium. Pada pemeriksaan CT Scan didapatkan adanya lesi hipodense di bagian temporal sisi kiri, mengarah ke suatu infark serebri.Diskusi: AF merupakan faktor resiko tinggi untuk stroke karena darah mungkin tidak dipompa dengan baik dari jantung, yang dapat menyebabkannya mengumpul dan membentuk gumpalan di dalam ventrikel. Gumpalan ini kemudian dapat lepas dan mengalir ke otak dan memblokir aliran darah ke bagian otak yang dapat menyebabkan stroke.Kesimpulan: Pengawasan ketat dan kontrol yang rutin sangat diperlukan bagi pasien penderita gangguan irama jantung khususnya fibrilasi atrium untuk mencegah terjadinya stroke emboli.Kata Kunci: stroke emboli, fibrilasi atrium

Abstract:

Heart rate variability (HRV) has emerged as an essential non-invasive tool for understanding cardiac autonomic function over the last few decades. This can be attributed to the direct connection between the heart’s rhythm and the activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The cost-effectiveness and ease with which one may obtain HRV data also make it an exciting and potential clinical tool for evaluating and identifying various health impairments. This article comprehensively describes a range of signal decomposition techniques and time-series modeling methods recently used in HRV analyses apart from the conventional HRV generation and feature extraction methods. Various weight-based feature selection approaches and dimensionality reduction techniques are summarized to assess the relevance of each HRV feature vector. The popular machine learning-based HRV feature classification techniques are also described. Some notable clinical applications of HRV analyses, like the detection of diabetes, sleep apnea, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmia, hypertension, renal failure, psychiatric disorders, ANS Activity of Patients Undergoing Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation, and monitoring of fetal distress and neonatal critical care, are discussed. The latest research on the effect of external stimuli (like consuming alcohol) on autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity using HRV analyses is also summarized. The HRV analysis approaches summarized in our article can help future researchers to dive deep into their potential diagnostic applications.

Abstract:

Aims: Interruption of sleep-wake behavioural patterns and circadian rhythms has been associated with the development and worsening of a range of mental health disorders, including depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, and specific high-risk outcomes such as aggression and suicidality. In full knowledge of the above, we aimed to improve patients’ self-reported sleep quality in an acute male ward, by 20% by the end of January 2025.Methods: An initial survey was conducted for patients to rate their sleep quality on a Numeric Rating Scale (1–10, where 1 = a worst night sleep and 10 = a best night sleep). This survey included close- and open-ended questions for patients to identify perceived barriers to good sleep. Responses were collected over one week from all consenting patients on the ward (10/18 patients). Insights from the survey were used to design targeted interventions addressing the key contributors to poor sleep. These interventions included: a) Offering earplugs to patients; b) Posters with QR codes for a free white noise app to mask disruptive noises; c) Sleep hygiene education through leaflets, with practical tips to improve sleep. A following survey was conducted after two weeks to measure the results of our interventions.Results: Initial survey results included: a) 6/10 median sleep rating reported by our patients, pre-intervention; b) 5/10 of our patients reported their sleep to be disturbed by noise on the ward; c) none of our patients reported sleep to be disturbed by the temperature or lighting of the room; d) 2/10 reported psychiatric symptoms such as auditory hallucinations to disturb their sleep. Results after interventions included: a) all of our patients stated that they received the sleep hygiene booklet, were counselled about the tips, and saw the posters around the ward; b) 11/16 included in the post-intervention survey reported that they found the tips useful; c) 10/16 had used the earplugs and 7/10 of these had found them helpful; d) 1/16 downloaded and used the white noise app; e) 7/10 median sleep rating was reported post-intervention.Conclusion: Non-pharmacological interventions such as earplugs and sleep hygiene education proved to be effective in improving patients’ quality of sleep. The development of a standardized protocol that includes these sleep-friendly practices has been implemented on the ward. Methods’ limitations such as baseline sleep medications and the complexity of contributing factors were taken into consideration.
