Neural Network Architectures and Magnetic Hysteresis: Overview and Comparisons

The development of innovative materials, based on the modern technologies and processes, is the key factor to improve the energetic sustainability and reduce the environmental impact of electrical equipment. In particular, the modeling of magnetic hysteresis is crucial for the design and construction of electrical and electronic devices. In recent years, additive manufacturing techniques are playing a decisive role in the project and production of magnetic elements and circuits for applications in various engineering fields. To this aim, the use of the deep learning paradigm, integrated with the most common models of the magnetic hysteresis process, has become increasingly present in recent years. The intent of this paper is to provide the features of a wide range of deep learning tools to be applied to magnetic hysteresis context and beyond. The possibilities of building neural networks in hybrid form are innumerable, so it is not plausible to illustrate them in a single paper, but in the present context, several neural networks used in the scientific literature, integrated with various hysteretic mathematical models, including the well-known Preisach model, are compared. It is shown that this hybrid approach not only improves the modeling of hysteresis by significantly reducing computational time and efforts, but also offers new perspectives for the analysis and prediction of the behavior of magnetic materials, with significant implications for the production of advanced devices.

Exploring the significance of Ranjaka Pitta in the formation of Rakta Dhatu with respect to Erythropoiesis

ABSTRACT The body's foundational basis lies in the trinity of Dosha [bio-energy principles], Dhatu [structural components of body], and Mala [waste]. The body comprises of three Dosha, Pitta being one of them. Due to its Ushna [hot] Guna [attribute/quality], Pitta plays a crucial role in Pachana [digestion or biotic transformation]. Pitta Dosha is divided into five subtypes based on both their location and function. Amongst these, Ranjaka [coloring] Pitta is involved in the formation of Rakta [blood] Dhatu. Ayurvedic texts indicate Yakrit [liver], Pleeha [spleen], and Amashaya [stomach] as the locations of Ranjaka Pitta, emphasizing its synergy with Raktagni [transformation factors] in the intricate formation of Rakta Dhatu. The Liver, Spleen, and Bone Marrow are vital for Erythropoiesis in modern science. The liver stores essential nutrients like vitamin B12, folic acid, and iron. Vitamin B12 is critical for erythropoiesis (the process of origin, development and maturation of erythrocytes) and the intrinsic factor secreted by the stomach's parietal cells plays a key role in its absorption. There are similarities in the Ayurvedic & Modern processes. In this article, we explore the role of Ranjaka Pitta in Rakta Dhatu formation, bridging Ayurvedic insights with modern medical science for a comprehensive understanding.

LANDSLIDES IN SARAJEVO CANTON OBSERVED THROUGH VALID REGULATIONS AND COMPETENT INSTITUTIONS, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ADOPTING A UNIFORM REGULATION ON LANDSLIDES

Landslides, as modern processes on the surface of the terrain, present a challenge in spatial planning, planning and construction of new settlements, and construction of infrastructure facilities. A special challenge is the planning and construction of settlements and infrastructure facilities in hillside areas. The City of Sarajevo, with its four city municipalities, represents the most populated part of Sarajevo Canton. The situation is similar with non-urban municipalities. A special challenge is the illegal settlements created on hillside areas of the four city municipalities. Many hillside settlements were created unplanned, often within the scope of registered landslides and unstable terrain. The construction of such settlements was not accompanied by the construction of the necessary infrastructure (road communications, fecal and storm sewers), which poses a danger of starting new and reactivating calmed landslides. Society's commitment to climate change brings into focus the landslides that occur as a product of climate change. Special attention is paid to unplanned urban areas on the slopes, where the risk of landslides is increased due to climate change. According to official information, about 1,000 landslides have been registered in Sarajevo Canton. The data on the number of landslides in the area of the Sarajevo Canton date back deep into the past and as such have been updated on several occasions. The last addition of data was carried out in the phase of amending the Spatial Plan, in 2010, when the Terrain Stability Map of Sarajevo Canton was updated. In Sarajevo Canton, special attention is paid to the rehabilitation of landslides that endanger people and material goods, and to the stabilization of the terrain during the development of construction land, for which considerable financial resources are allocated from different levels of government (Federation, Canton and municipalities). Aggravating circumstance are regulations that only partially treat landslides. Certain regulations are unclear, some of them set strict requirements for emergency landslide rehabilitation, while certain regulations are in conflict. The institutional approach for the purpose of research, registration, rehabilitation and monitoring of landslides is not fully aligned with the current regulations. Jurisdiction is partially prescribed and as such is often unclear. The mandated competences of individual levels of government are not harmonized. Remedial measures were implemented on many landslides in the past period, but without clear indications of the effects of the remediation. As a solution to the problem, a proposal for the adoption of a single regulation on landslides was initiated. This paper cites the example of the Sarajevo Canton, where the activities for the adoption of a law on landslides were initiated, but ended unsuccessfully several times, with recommendations for further activities.

Preventing Overrides of Severe Drug Allergy Alerts Initiative: an Implemented System Upgrade

Administering medications to patients with documented drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHR) poses a significant risk for adverse events, ranging from mild reactions to life-threatening incidents. Electronic healthcare systems have revolutionized the modern clinical decision-making process, with built in warnings. However, as these alerts become a routine part of healthcare provider’s workflow, alert fatigue becomes a challenge. This study was conducted within the Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs (MNGHA), a government healthcare system in Saudi Arabia. A taskforce of experts was formed to develop an electronic path that would prevent unintentional overrides of severe drug allergy alerts. The system underwent rigorous testing, and monitoring parameters were established. We outline the implementation of a system upgrade designed to trigger an alternative interruption in the computerized physician order entry (CPOE) process, distinct from the regular allergy pop-up alerts. The alternate path is activated upon a CPOE with a drug-to-drug match and a documented severe drug allergy symptom, necessitating co-signature form another prescriber before proceeding. The adopted upgrade is a proactive approach to enhance medication safety in electronic healthcare systems, ensuring that serious allergy-related warnings are not overridden, ultimately enhancing patient safety. Further monitoring will confirm the safety and effectiveness of this measure. This study provides a model for institutions seeking to prevent allergy-related harm within their patient population.

Interethnic communications in the formation and implementation of state information policy

The article examines the problems of interethnic communications in the context of changing state information policy and from the point of view of the increasing impact of mass media on social processes in the world. The author introduces the concept of pseudo-communication used by subjects of the global information space, in particular, within the framework of information confrontation. Analyzing the space of political communication, the author draws attention to its saturation with information noise, verbal aggression, which creates problems and barriers in the process of communication between states. These problems are no less characteristic of interethnic communications, that is, for the processes of interaction with certain ethnic groups or between them. Noting the growth of the ethnic factor in modern political processes, the author calls for taking into account the range of problems inherent in interethnic communications at the present stage of their development, in the formation and practical implementation of the state information policy, which should respond to the needs and interests of society, taking into account the cultural and ethnic diversity of its representatives.
