From microscope to head-mounted display: integrating hand tracking into microsurgical augmented reality.

The operating microscope plays a central role in middle and inner ear procedures that involve working within tightly confined spaces under limited exposure. Augmented reality (AR) may improve surgical guidance by combining preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging that can provide precise anatomical information, with intraoperative microscope video feed. With current technology, the operator must manually interact with the AR interface using a computer. The latter poses a disruption in the surgical flow and is suboptimal for maintaining the sterility of the operating environment. The purpose of this study was to implement and evaluate free-hand interaction concepts leveraging hand tracking and gesture recognition as an attempt to reduce the disruption during surgery and improve human-computer interaction. An electromagnetically tracked surgical microscope was calibrated using a custom 3D printed calibration board. This allowed the augmentation of the microscope feed with segmented preoperative CT-derived virtual models. Ultraleap's Leap Motion Controller 2 was coupled to the microscope and used to implement hand-tracking capabilities. End-user feedback was gathered from a surgeon during development. Finally, users were asked to complete tasks that involved interacting with the virtual models, aligning them to physical targets, and adjusting the AR visualization. Following observations and user feedback, we upgraded the functionalities of the hand interaction system. User feedback showed the users' preference for the new interaction concepts that provided minimal disruption of the surgical workflow and more intuitive interaction with the virtual content. We integrated hand interaction concepts, typically used with head-mounted displays (HMDs), into a surgical stereo microscope system intended for AR in otologic microsurgery. The concepts presented in this study demonstrated a more favorable approach to human-computer interaction in a surgical context. They hold potential for a more efficient execution of surgical tasks under microscopic AR guidance.

ON INTERACTIVE SOLUTION FOR TWO POINT FUZZY BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

In this manuscript, the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the twopoint fuzzy boundary value problem (FBVP) are analyzed under the concept of interactivity between the fuzzy numbers found in the boundary conditions. A fuzzy solution is provided for this problem via sup-J extension, which can be seen as a generalization of Zadeh’s extension principle. Finally, an example is presented in order to compare the given features.

Discovering and exploring conceptions of geography teaching: a teacher education starter pack

Initial teacher education, among other things, significantly influences what conceptions of geography teaching build the steppingstones at the beginning of pre-service teachers’ careers. Using a questionnaire, we conducted a survey on Czech pre-service geography teachers’ conceptions of geography teaching (n = 183). Our findings indicate that the Interactionist conception was prevalent, representing the exploration of interconnections and relations between humans and the environment. Pre-service teachers also emphasized the importance of the Localist conception that builds on exploring geographies of the local neighborhood. A path analysis revealed that the pre-service teachers’ conceptions were not much interconnected, often existing as independent, isolated entities. Our results attempt to provide implications for shaping the professional geography knowledge landscape of future geography teachers through a complex “starter pack” – a balanced representation of a range of conceptions of geography teaching in initial teacher education.

Spatial Interactions of a City-Region Using GIS and Survey-based Data

The concept of spatial interaction deduced from Newton’s first law of motion, which has been extended from interactions between two points of elements e.g., two cities to interactions between other points of other elements in a system, e.g., more than two cities, can be applied to elucidate settlements spatial interaction at the regional scale, particularly a city-region as a system. Elucidating the levels of spatial interactions in city-regions is crucial to support decision-making processes in regional development planning and policies, which in turn contributes to sustainable regional developments if implemented fully. The current study, therefore, combined Geographic Information Systems and survey-based data to evaluate the level of spatial interactions of a city-region as a system to support sustainable regional development planning and policies using the defined Abuja city-region as a case study. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey of residents, land cover maps that were produced using Remote Sensing processes of satellite image classification, and urban and regional land use plans. An integrated analysis was deployed, including descriptive statistics and spatial analysis through extraction, digitization, overlay, clipping, and geometrical calculation processes. Key findings showed that the work location for most residents in satellite settlements is Abuja city. Also, the study showed that while Lugbe, Kubwa, and Old Karu settlements have the highest level of spatial interaction with Abuja city, Kuje and Gwagwalada settlements have the lowest level of spatial interaction. The findings and their associated implications of the current study are useful to support decision-makers in planning and policies for the spatial distribution of urban infrastructures across settlements that make up defined city-regions in Sub-Saharan Africa in particular and in the Global South in general

"Will you need this health at all? Will you be alive?": using the bioecological model of mass trauma to understand HIV care experiences during the war in Ukraine.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has severely impacted the healthcare system, including the provision of HIV care. The ongoing war is a human-caused mass trauma, a severe ecological and psychosocial disruption that greatly exceeds the coping capacity of the community. The bioecological model of mass trauma builds on Bronfenbrenner's concept of interaction between nested systems to argue that social context determines the impact of life events on the individual and how an individual responds. This paper uses the bioecological model of mass trauma to explore the impact of Russia's aggression against Ukraine and the ongoing war on HIV-positive people who use drugs in Ukraine, a particularly vulnerable population that may be negatively affected by disruptions to social networks, healthcare infrastructure and economic conditions caused by mass trauma. Data were collected between September and November 2022. A convenience sample of 18 HIV-positive people who use drugs were recruited from community organizations that work with people living with HIV, drug treatment programmes, and HIV clinics through direct recruitment and participant referral. A total of nine men and nine women were recruited; the age ranged from 33 to 62 years old (mean = 46.44). Participants completed a single interview that explored how the war had affected their daily lives and access to HIV care and other medical services; their relationships with healthcare providers and social workers; and medication access, supply and adherence. Data were analysed using the Framework Method for thematic analysis. The war had a profound impact on the social, emotional and financial support networks of participants. Changes in social networks, coupled with limited job opportunities and rising prices, intensified financial difficulties for participants. Relocating to different regions of Ukraine, staying at somebody else's home, and losing connections with social workers impacted medication adherence and created lengthy treatment gaps. Participants also experienced a decreased supply of antiretroviral therapy, concerns about accessing medication for opioid use disorder, and overwhelming fears associated with the war, which overshadowed their HIV-related health concerns and negatively impacted medication adherence. Our analysis reveals the complex impact of war on social networks and healthcare access. Maintaining support networks and competent healthcare providers will be essential amid the ongoing war.

The art of nursing in clinical care

Nursing is an art. Becoming a nurse requires more preparation for care than becoming a painter or sculptor. This is because they work with a lifeless canvas or marble, while nursing deals with a living body, which is the dwelling of the divine spirit. Many experts consider the art of nursing a combination of scientific facts, awareness, and a simultaneous integration of nurses' knowledge and understanding [1]. Nursing is widely regarded as an art where the concepts of art and practice in care are interwoven [2]. In a broader sense, nursing is an art of clinical decision-making and reasoning [3]. The art of nursing involves understanding the meanings of patient interactions, establishing meaningful relationships, and skillfully performing nursing interventions [4]. The art of nursing is about the creative use of nursing knowledge in clinical skills [5]. Therefore, the art of nursing refers to the innovative and purposeful skills to convey emotions and concepts to others [6]. In nursing, art means understanding the concept of health and human interactions and using nursing experiences in clinical decision-making [1]. According to Wiedenbach, the art of nursing is the integration of nursing knowledge and theories in clinical skills [7], as all nursing theories emphasize that nursing is both the science and art of care [1].

О влиянии «гидрофобности» газовой фазы на образование флотокомплексов в процессах флотации

Introduction. A model of a three-phase system in which, as a result of hetero coagulation from a bulk liquid, its thin layer has formed, the surfaces of which separate the gas and condensed phases with different potentials, is a wetting film. The study of wetting films adds to the knowledge of the nature of the structure-induced surface forces acting in them, which serves to develop the theory of hetero coagulation and is of interest for solving various topical problems of the theory and practice of flotation. The purpose of the work is to study the influence of “hydrophobic” properties of the gas phase on the separation of minerals by flotation with a vapor-air mixture in flotation schemes with jet countercurrent flow of feed and rough concentrate. Materials and Methods. Methods and installations have been developed to investigate the temperature dependence of the equilibrium thickness of wetting films and wetting edge angles. Studies of wetting films are supplemented by measurements of induction time at adhesion of minerals to each other and to an air bubble on a specially designed installation. In-situ flotation experiments were performed on a sample of apatite-nepheline ores. Results. The temperature dependence of the equilibrium thickness of the wetting film has been revealed, which does not contradict the experimentally established decrease of the exponentially decreasing (non-oscillating) part of the cleavage pressure with increasing temperature. It is shown that the temperature dependence of the boundary angles formed by the wetting film on the hydrophobic and hydrophilic surface is multidirectional. The connection between the temperature dependence of the boundary angle and the temperature dependence of the spreading coefficient obtained from Young’s law and determined by multiplication of parameters characterizing the magnitude and long-range action of forces caused by the difference between the structure and properties of the liquid in the boundary layers and their values in the volume is shown. “Hydrophobicity” of the bubble is associated with a smaller range effect of structural repulsion forces compared to hydrophobic attraction forces. By measuring the induction time, it is shown that the “hydrophobicity” of air manifests itself in the difference in the stability of wetting (when hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles adhere to the air bubble) and symmetric (when particles of the same hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity adhere to each other) films as the temperature increases. Discussion. In the framework of the phonon mechanism of surface forces, the dynamic structure of the liquid in the boundary layers (the sign and magnitude of the phonon component of the bowing pressure) determines the selectivity of aggregation and completeness of particle extraction, as well as the stability of symmetric and wetting films from temperature. Conclusion. When discussing the stability of disperse systems, the concepts of additional (to dispersive (van der Waals) and ionic-electrostatic interactions) forces associated with the overlap of boundary layers of liquids with structure parameters changed compared to their bulk values are fruitfully used. Such differences are understood as static deviations of the structure and properties of the liquid induced by the surface. However, the main reason for changes in the stability of wetting films at increasing temperature may be the high sensitivity to temperature of the entire set of rotational and vibrational motions of atoms and molecules of the liquid, i. e., its dynamic structure and the associated phonon component of the wedging pressure. Resume. The results of the study can be used to improve the technological performance of ores enriched by flotation. Consideration of the influence of linear tension on the system with the line of threephase contact will be useful for revealing the peculiarities of flotation of micro-dispersions of minerals by the developed technology.

Utilization Of Mindmeister For The Creation Of Learning Objective Pathways In The Implementation Of The Merdeka Curriculum

Merdeka curriculum has been implemented in schools for a few years, but there are still some obstacles to its implementation. Teachers find it difficult to design learning tools, starting from reducing learning outcomes to learning objectives and the flow of learning objectives. One of the solutions is the use of concept maps, which are assisted by the MindMeister application. The goal is for teachers to implement it into a flow of learning objectives. The method of implementing this service is in the form of training teachers with a practical approach. The result of this service is that teachers better understand how to create effective and visually interactive concept maps of learning objectives to plan, organize, and understand learning objectives. This helps teachers and students in carrying out the learning process in a more structured and focused manner. The use of information technology-based applications is very helpful for teachers in learning activities. Teachers must always adapt to any changes and improve their competence with consistent and continuous training, especially related to the use of information technology in learning.

Subtle structural variation of antipyrine derivatives for ESIPT based fluorescence recognition of Al3+ and Zn2+ ions

Three imine derivatives containing antipyrine moiety viz. A1, A2 and A3 have been synthesized and characterized by SC-XRD analysis. The molecules are weakly fluorescent due to ESIPT process. The A1 and A2 have high affinity as well as selectivity for Al3+ that allow its nano-molar level detection. On the other hand, A3 interacts with both Al3+ and Zn2+ as reflected from the change of emission profiles at two different wavelengths. Such distinctive photo-physical interaction of A3 over A1 and A2 may be elucidated through hard-soft interaction concept. Various spectroscopic techniques have been used to explain the sensing mechanism. DFT studies have been performed to explain and justify experimental findings. The interaction of A3 towards Al3+ and Zn2+ has been utilized to construct a logic gate. Moreover, real water analysis has also been performed.

Postural balance and cognitive functions: interaction and significance for rehabilitation (scientific review)

The study analyses the patterns of postural-cognitive interaction and their possible application in physical rehabilitation. The morphofunctional basis of the relationship between postural balance and cognitive functions is considered, particularly the role of the vestibular system in cognitive processes and the participation of cognitive functions in the regulation of equilibrium. The interaction patterns between postural balance and cognitive functions were analyzed, including the global nature of postural-cognitive interaction, influence of multitasking, and type of motor task (static or dynamic), its complexity, novelty and variability. The review presents the prospects and advantages of the practical application of the concept of postural-cognitive interaction in physical rehabilitation. These include the use of cognitive training methods in rehabilitation programs, which, due to the positive transfer of the effect of training, improves cognitive functions and postural stability and increases the ability to perform two or more tasks, including those related to activities of daily living. Vestibular training is another promising area of practical application of interaction between cognitive functions and postural balance; accordingly, vestibular–cognitive interaction contributes to the improvement of cognitive status. Considering the social significance of neurocognitive disorders and the importance of their early diagnosis, issues related to the identification of objective correlates and predictors of cognitive decline, particularly the basic spatial and spatiotemporal parameters of static posturography and stabilometric indices, are taken into account.

Concept Mapping STI/HIV Prevention and Condom Use among Young African American Adults.

Theory-based HIV prevention programs have resulted in increased condom use, which remains the best method for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among sexually active heterosexual individuals. Particularly, the integrative model of behavior prediction theorizes that attitudes, norms, self-efficacy, and socioenvironmental factors influence intention and behavior and has been useful in understanding STI risk among adolescents. However, more research is needed regarding young African American adults. Given the increased freedom and decision-making independence afforded to young adults compared to adolescents, it is important to consider the STI/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention messages that would resonate with them, particularly regarding condom use. The present study sought to explore how attitudes, subjective norms, self-efficacies, and socioenvironmental factors may influence condom use and STI/HIV prevention, as conceptualized by the participants. We conducted a group-based concept map, a systems-thinking mixed methodology that resulted in a geospatial map reflecting the conceptualizations of the participants. Self-identified young heterosexual African American adults (N = 43) aged 20-26 engaged in an interactive concept mapping procedure in order to "map out" their overarching concepts about STI/HIV risk and condom use. Seven overall conceptual domains emerged: self-efficacy for partner communication, condom use self-efficacy, social media/sociocultural influences, condom use/STI knowledge, condom use cons, condom use pros, and subjective and social norms about condom use. We presented the concept map and discussed the conceptual interpretations and the relationships among the overarching concepts. We also discussed how the social environment, including the social media environment, was conceptualized regarding STI/HIV risk and prevention among young African American adults. Concept mapping can be viewed as a way to determine worthwhile messages for intervention development. The findings may provide information for prevention programs aimed at reducing the incidence of STIs among young adult heterosexual persons within African American communities.

ROBOTICS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: SAFETY MEASURES AND POTENTIAL THREATS

The article considers the application of robotics and artificial intelligence in everyday life and at work. Existing research has shown that industrial and domestic robot design and operational characteristics can threaten human life and health and serve as safety measures. At the same time, modern collaborative robots share the same workspace as humans. The study found that, depending on the nature of the origin, it is possible to divide robotics hazards into the following types: mechanical, which can arise from an unintentional or unexpected action or when changing tools; contact with dangerous energy sources that can lead to electric shock when touching connections, current-carrying parts, or an electric arc flash; thermal, which arise from contact with hot or cold surfaces; noise, radiation, chemicals, infections, and other hazards. Many robot-related accidents do not occur during operation but often during the design, installation, and testing process when workers first encounter the robot. The causes of robotics-related injuries include the human factor, poor safety culture, and the robot’s operational and design characteristics. Isolation from a professional service robot is ineffective when a person has to work in the robot’s area of operation or at the same workplace. The physical safety of robots and humans in shared spaces includes the following categories: safety assessment and the concept of human-robot interaction; contact safety due to robot design; passive interoperable systems, lightweight manipulators, safe actuators, and passive robotic systems. Every collaborative robot system is unique, so risk assessment is crucial for safe and successful implementation. Existing methods for assessing occupational risks of robots mainly consider ergonomic risks and can only be applied at the design stage. Some existing machines and measuring arms have a control system that monitors the workspace. If something foreign appears in the work area, the machine slows down and resumes high measurement speeds automatically. Keywords: safety culture, safety measures, industrial work, occupational risk assessment.

Utilization and potentials of digital twins – application examples

ABSTRACT In response to global geopolitical challenges and technological advancements, systems of the German Armed Forces are undergoing redesign or adaptation to enhance combat capabilities while prioritizing soldier and civilian protection. Digital twins, virtual representations of reality, offer a systematic and efficient means to explore various factors affecting military systems. Specifically in the naval domain, digital twins can significantly improve applications, reduce design cost, and facilitate user involvement in early phases of the design process. In this paper we use the infantry fighting vehicle PUMA as an example to highlight the importance of leveraging digital twins in virtual reality to address ergonomic and operational challenges, enhance situational awareness, and optimize interaction concepts for improved military effectiveness.

Ngalaksa Traditional Ceremony as a Local Wisdom to Maintain Community Social Interaction

The Ngalaksa traditional ceremony is a legacy of the Rancakalong people's ancestors through their traditional arts. It is carried out as a form of gratitude for the harvest. This cultural activity can positively impact the community and the local government. It can be an event that can foster noble values in society, such as strengthening family relationships between communities. However, the potential of Ngalaksa traditional ceremony has not been exploited optimally. If managed wellit can become a cultural tourist attraction with the concept of cultural advancement.

CONCEPTUAL IDEAS AND GUIDELINES OF NORTH AMERICAN MODEL OF ADULT EDUCATION

The article deals with conceptual ideas and guidelines of North American model of adult education. It is substantiated that North American model of adult education is based on the philosophical principles of liberalism, progressivism, behaviorism, humanism, radicalism, and constructivism. Liberalism has ancient roots and is based on the position that since the person is the real source of progress in society, it is necessary to ensure his/her rights and freedoms, providing equal access to education regardless of social status and well-being. The basic principle of liberal education is singled out, which is to develop a personality that meets the purpose of liberal education in ancient times – provision of education for citizens who can become active participants of a democratic society. It is proven that non-formal adult education should be continuous, focus on the development of intellectual abilities, be accessible to all layers of the population, and its content must meet their needs. It is found out that the historical roots of the philosophy of progressivism are associated with progressive political movement in society and education. Its basis is the concept of interaction between education and society, empirical theory of democratization of education. It is determined that behavioral philosophy, founded by John Watson, appeared in the USA in the early 20th century. Based on the theory of Pavlov's conditioned reflexes, its supporters (J. Watson, B. Sninner and E. Thorndike) considered personality as a set of behavioral responses to stimuli of the environment. It is identified that the purpose of adult education is the modification of a person’s behavior. It is proven that unlike behaviorists, representatives of humanistic philosophy (J. Brown, A. Maslow, M. Knowles, K. Rogers, etc.) considered a man to be independent, active, open to change and self-actualization. It is stressed that the founders of the radical trend, based on theories of anarchism, marxism, and socialism, considered education in general and adult education, in particular, as an important mechanism to achieve radical changes in society. Meanwhile, the social role of non-formal adult education was updated, because it required critical thinking and personal participation in these changes.

КУЛЬТУРНЫЕ КОНТАКТЫ МЕЖДУ РОССИЕЙ И КИТАЕМ НА ДАЛЬНЕВОСТОЧНЫХ ТЕРРИТОРИЯХ В XIX – НАЧАЛЕ XX в.

The paper analyzes the formation and development of cultural relations between Russia and China in the 19th – early 20th centuries in the Far Eastern territories. The issues of the origin of Russian-Chinese cultural interaction, the contact between Russian and Chinese cultures, as well as the peculiarities of contacts between the two ethnic groups are covered. The work uses a historical-chronological research method, which made it possible to trace the formation and development of contacts in the field of culture between the two countries in the Far Eastern border region in the mid-19th – early 20th centuries (from the signing of the Aigun and Beijing treaties to the October Revolution of 1917), as well as a systematic approach, the use of which led to the consideration of cultural ties as a component of the overall system of Russian-Chinese relations at the interstate and interregional levels. Materials in Chinese in the author's translation were introduced into scientific circulation. When studying cultural contacts between the two countries, the concept of sociocultural interaction developed by N.A. Samoilov was applied, which made it possible to analyze the features of relations between the two countries in the field of culture and highlight the forms of interaction. According to the authors, the development of mutual contacts in the field of culture was determined by foreign policy and socio-economic conditions, significant transformations in the political, economic and cultural spheres that took place in the mid-19th – early 20th centuries in the Russian state and the Qing Empire, as well as the meeting of Chinese migration and Russian colonization flows in the Russian Far Eastern borderland. In general, Russian-Chinese sociocultural interaction during the period under study went through several stages, during which the Russian and Chinese peoples mutually recognized each other and learned to interact. At the same time, in the Far Eastern territories at the turn of the century, a contact zone of relations between two ethnic groups was formed, a special environment of Russian-Chinese interaction was formed, and at the same time, the difference between the two cultures and the impossibility of their mixing and mutual assimilation became increasingly obvious.

Socio-Psychological Technologies for Personal Security in the BANI-World

The paper’s goal is to update socio-psychological technologies for personal security in the Brittle Anxious Nonlinear Incomprehensible (BANI) world. To accomplish this, the following tasks need to be completed: determining the essence of the BANI world, proving the feasibility of socio-psychological security, clarifying the content of socio-psychological technologies, and determining their role in ensuring personal security in the BANI world. The authors used results of scientific research and modern press, researched methods of analysis and content analysis of interdisciplinary publications on this issue; methods of systematization, extrapolation, design and modeling, theoretical generalization. Theories and concepts of social interaction that inherently include a person serve as the basis for the content and classification of socio-psychological technologies for personal security in the BANI world. The study analyzes the socio-psychological technologies of three groups from the perspective of representing security at three levels (cognitive, affective, and conative). The authors consider the possibilities of information and communication technologies as a promising direction for providing socio-psychological assistance.
