Reagentless Vis-NIR Spectroscopy Point-of-Care for Feline Total White Blood Cell Counts.

Spectral point-of-care technology is reagentless with minimal sampling (<10 μL) and can be performed in real-time. White blood cells are non-dominant in blood and in spectral information, suffering significant interferences from dominant constituents such as red blood cells, hemoglobin and billirubin. White blood cells of a bigger size can account for 0.5% to 22.5% of blood spectra information. Knowledge expansion was performed using data augmentation through the hybridization of 94 real-world blood samples into 300 synthetic data samples. Synthetic data samples are representative of real-world data, expanding the detailed spectral information through sample hybridization, allowing us to unscramble the spectral white blood cell information from spectra, with correlations of 0.7975 to 0.8397 and a mean absolute error of 32.25% to 34.13%; furthermore, we achieved a diagnostic efficiency between 83% and 100% inside the reference interval (5.5 to 19.5 × 109 cell/L), and 85.11% for cases with extreme high white blood cell counts. At the covariance mode level, white blood cells are quantified using orthogonal information on red blood cells, maximizing sensitivity and specificity towards white blood cells, and avoiding the use of non-specific natural correlations present in the dataset; thus, the specifity of white blood cells spectral information is increased. The presented research is a step towards high-specificity, reagentless, miniaturized spectral point-of-care hematology technology for Veterinary Medicine.

Two-iterated degenerate Appell polynomials: properties and applications

In the development of hybrid special polynomials, it is essential to incorporate the monomiality principle, operational rules, and other related properties. This research study adopts this approach and introduces a novel polynomial type called the two-iterated degenerate Appell polynomials, utilizing the monomiality principle. This study yields new findings that align with previous research efforts. The study presents explicit formulas and key properties of these polynomials, while also establishing connections with other polynomial types such as the Bernoulli, Euler, and Genocchi polynomials. These connections facilitate the derivation of additional results. By employing the monomiality principle and considering the aforementioned polynomials as initial members of the Appell family, this study contributes to the expansion of knowledge in the field of special polynomials.

CONCEPT OF BUILDING A LIBRARY OF TASKS AND SOLUTIONS

The article develops the concept of building a library of tasks and their solutions in the form of computational processes (CPs) and Petri nets (PNs) with the preliminary transformation of CPs into PNs. The conversion includes the extraction of macro operations (MOs) from CPs as a result of their analysis, the construction of PNs and their fragments as models of CPs and MOs, and the modeling of PNs and their fragments. The architecture, structure and interface of the library are proposed. Computational process is a sequence of time-ordered operations and procedures of varying degrees of complexity. The set of PNs, as well as the set of problems for which PNs are solutions, is divided into classes and subclasses. A class includes problems such as Combinatorial, Linear Algebraic Equations, etc.; the Combinatorial class includes subclasses of problems such as Sorting, Search, Sets, Graphs, etc. A macro operation is a fragment of a GP that is a functionally complete computational construct. MOs can have different levels of complexity, starting with the elementary one; they can be built hierarchically. A Petri net is a bipartite graph with two interconnected objects: event-condition, process-resource, etc. Fragments of the PN are models of the MO. The components of the library are tree nodes supplemented with files of their verbal descriptions built according to certain rules. The architecture, structure, interface, and operations of the library provide convenient management, editing, and expansion of knowledge about computational processes and macro operations, making the library open for further research and development by the developer. All files are available to the user, but without the right to edit. The paper presents an example of the initial filling of the library for the Sorting task.

Long term management of people with post-tuberculosis lung disease.

Post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) is emerging as a significant area of global interest. As the number of patients surviving tuberculosis (TB) increases, the subsequent long-term repercussions have drawn increased attention due to their profound clinical and socioeconomic impacts. A primary obstacle to its comprehensive study has been its marked heterogeneity. The disease presents a spectrum of clinical manifestations which encompass tracheobronchial stenosis, bronchiectasis, granulomas with fibrosis, cavitation with associated aspergillosis, chronic pleural diseases, and small airway diseases-all persistent consequences of PTLD. The spectrum of symptoms a patient may experience varies based on the severity of the initial infection and the efficacy of the treatment received. As a result, the long-term management of PTLD necessitates a detailed and specific approach, addressing each manifestation individually-a tailored strategy. In the immediate aftermath (0-12 months after anti-TB chemotherapy), there should be an emphasis on monitoring for relapse, tracheobronchial stenosis, and smoking cessation. Subsequent management should focus on addressing hemoptysis, managing infection including aspergillosis, and TB-associated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or restrictive lung function. There remains a vast expanse of knowledge to be discovered in PTLD. This review emphasizes the pressing need for comprehensive, consolidated guidelines for management of patients with PTLD.

Advancing bone biology: The mutual promotion of biology and pioneering technologies

Sanskrit Scriptures (Ancient Indian History) and Their Scientific Relevance in Modern Science

Abstract: Ancient Indian Science has a plethora of knowledge which include Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Puranas but limited online resources available to everyone. to Indian Ancient History preserves the truths of modern science and many justifications of present questions raised in the field of sciences. Most of these scriptures were written in 500-1500 BCE, an era which is believed to have lacked scientific knowledge and reasonings. Many of the Indian transcripts testify data and proofs evident in the Ancient Indian Literature. The Vedas contain intricate details about celestial bodies, their movements, and the concept of time, reflecting an advanced understanding of astronomy. Mathematical concepts, including geometry and algebraic principles, are discernible in texts like the Shulba Sutras. Moreover, Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medical system documented in Sanskrit, provides holistic insights into healthcare, emphasizing a balance of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The scriptures also exhibit ecological awareness, prescribing sustainable practices for harmonious coexistence with nature. Sushruta Samhita and other scriptures provide in depth details of utilization of every plant part for cure of diseases. This study encompasses reasonings and specific citing of exact verses of scientific findings found years before modern scientists. Further research will contribute in expansion of knowledge and help delve deeper into Ancient Indian Text.

Variation of translation reception of Q. Tarantino’s film discourse

Within the framework of the article, the phenomenon of variability of translation reception of Q. Tarantino’s film discourse is considered. The authors conduct a comparative analysis of translation solutions used by the Russian-speaking translators as part of their work on Q. Tarantino’s films when transmitting significant elements of the author’s idiostyle. The focus is on the analysis of variability and evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of the Russian-language translations of the film discourse of this director, which together make up the translation reception of his film works. The research methods include the continuous selection method, the method of contextual analysis, the method of functional semantic analysis, descriptive method, the method of contextual analysis, the method of interpretation of the film text, as well as methods of quantitative calculation. The original film texts of Q. Tarantino’s English-language films “Pulp Fiction”, “Inglourious Basterds”, “The Hateful Eight” and “Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood” and their translations into the Russian language have served as the material for the study. The authors analyze the film dialogues and films by Q. Tarantino as the main means of nonverbal and verbal representation of his idiostyle. It is argued that the films by Q. Tarantino are a significant example for the study of some aspects of translation reception into the Russian language due to the presence of a large layer of intertextual component in these works. It is emphasized that the interpretation of a literary text involves projecting the translator’s worldview onto the conceptual sphere of the translated work, as a result of which the latter becomes a co-author of the script. After analyzing the empirical material, the authors conclude that, regardless of the time of the release of the film, translators most often resort to such translation methods, as direct translation, modulation and addition, broadcasting numerous lexical, stylistic and pragmatic-semantic features of Q. Tarantino’s film discourse. Thanks to the development of information and telecommunication technologies and as translators gain more access to information, there are opportunities for improving the quality of translations due to the expansion of background knowledge in the field of pop-cultural and historical realia of the original linguaculture, actualized in the original film discourse.

Beyond beauty: Ugly and borderline tourism aesthetic experiences

Tourism and aesthetic experiences are intertwined. This study explores the essence of negative and borderline aesthetic experiences in the context of tourism. To achieve this, Husserl's descriptive phenomenology and detailed descriptions of aesthetic experiences from 28 first-time tourists in Hong Kong are employed. Findings identify and define two types of borderline aesthetic experiences, namely the “beaugly” and the “ugbeaful,” as well as the experience of ugliness itself. Borderline experiences involve intricate interplays of pleasure and displeasure, challenging the traditional notion of aesthetics. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that ugliness does not necessarily equate to a wholly negative experience. This study thus contributes to the expansion of knowledge regarding aesthetic experiences in tourism and offers valuable insights for destination experience design.

Reinterpreting Muhammadiyah’s Purification and Its Implications for the Educational Philosophy

This article mainly explores the changing and development of thought that occurred in one of the largest modernist Islamic organizations in Indonesia, Muhammadiyah, regarding Islamic purification. Using intellectual history as an approach, this research concluded that even though Muhammadiyah had purification as its main characteristic, in fact it had its own reinterpretation being extended and expanded. By implementing Abdolkarim Soroush’s theory of contraction and expansion of religious knowledge, this research found that in the very early days of its inception, Muhammadiyah constructed its concept of purification from the spiritualization, rationalization, and functionalization of Islamic teachings. But after the inception of Tarjih division in 1927, the purification in Muhammadiyah had a narrower orientation from worships and creeds (puritanism) to the muamalah of world affairs (ultra-puritanism). Beginning in 1995, there was a wider scope in which the Tarjih division in Muhammadiyah expanded its issues of worship to include public and humanitarian issues; that era was called post-puritanism. Based on the core hypothesis that any changes in religious thought have implications for educational orientation, from George R. Knight’s perspective, several educational implications are obtained: (1) In the early days of its inception, Muhammadiyah’s education implemented a progressivism philosophy that’s inspired by religion, rationality, and life; (2) when it comes to the narrower aspect of purification only for faith, worship, and muamalah, Muhammadiyah shifted its educational philosophy to perennialism-essentialism; (3) when the purification's meaning and interpretation expanded, Muhammadiyah tended its education toward the philosophy of reconstructionism.
