Analysis of the sensitization spectrum in patients with severe allergic diseases using the ImmunoCAP ISAC method

BACKGROUND: An important advance in modern allergology has been made by the introduction of allergenic molecules/components, including their detection by the ImmunoCAP ISAC method. This method is useful in patients with a complex spectrum of sensitization and severe forms of allergic diseases, where various predictors of severe course are actively searched for.
 AIM: To evaluate the informativeness of component resolved diagnostic by ISAC ImmunoCAP method in patients with severe bronchial asthma and severe atopic dermatitis.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single-center retrospective study was conducted from January to August 2023. 100 patients who were candidates for biologicals for severe bronchial asthma (group 1; 63 patients), severe atopic dermatitis (group 2; 20 patients), or their combination (group 3; 17 patients) were included. Component restlved diagnostic was performed by ImmunoCAP ISAC method.
 RESULTS: Polysensitization and high occurrence of food and fungal allergens were more frequently detected in the groups of patients with severe atopic dermatitis. When analyzing the pollen sensitization spectrum in groups 2 and 3, Bet v 1 and PR-10 family cross-linked molecules (Mal d 1, Pru p 1, Ara h 8, Gly m 4, Cor a 1.04), as well as Ole e 9, Cyn d 1, Ph p 1 and Par j 2 were the most common. Epidermal allergens were common in all three groups. Lipocains (Can f 1, Can f 4, Can f 6, Ecu q 1, Mus m 1), kallikreins (Can f 5), and albumin (Fel d 2) dominated among them. The presence of sensitization to household allergens was detected only in group 2 and only to the molecule Der p 23. Among fungal allergens, the allergen Asp f 6 was predominant in the groups with severe atopic dermatitis, and the component Alt a 1 in patients with severe bronchial asthma. Among food allergens, one of the most common allergens was the molecule Gad c 1, Gal d 1, Gal d 2, Gal d 5 and Bos d 6.
 CONCLUSION: Component resolved diagnostic is an accurate assay suitable for determining the spectrum of sensitization in patients; its result can serve as a distinct biomarker for severe allergic diseases.

Sketched with an ‘Oracular Pencil’: Predictive Drawing and the Manipulation of Time in Nineteenth-century Illustrated Weeklies

Pictorial journalism in the latter nineteenth century faced a temporal conundrum: whereas words could travel by telegraph and hence at the speed of electricity, the accompanying illustrations had to travel as material objects and were chronically belated. This article analyzes the strategies with which two prominent Victorian weekly papers—Illustrated London News and Punch—sought to deal with the slowness of illustration and reconcile the speed differentials between textual and visual news with their printing deadlines and production cycles. The most striking of these strategies was to deploy an ‘oracular pencil’ to work up an illustration before an event had taken place. These pre-produced illustrations relied on specific visual codes that shaped the illustrations’ ‘truth.’ The article shows that, contrary to the self-positioning of pictorial journalists as reporting truthfully and speedily on the world ‘out there,’ the pictorial press had its own temporal and epistemological laws.

Image Style of Information Startups: Means of Implementation

The purpose of the publication is to establish typological features in the means corresponding to the needs of creating an image style of information startups, to determine the conditions for the correlation of these means with the practice of creating a corporate and corporate style and the main differences from them. Research methodology: methods of complex and comparative analysis are applied. The scientific novelty consists in establishing an increased number of image style components compared to brand or corporate constants, as well as in the ability of such components to be descriptors of the overall emotional values of the project and to work on their active translation into the information environment. It was established that the components of the image style should create an individualized and, at the same time, quite universal graphic code, which can be implemented only under the condition of combining variable communicative elements, and their visual impact should be embodied in the signs not so much of objects or phenomena, but in the characteristics of emotional states. The composition of means that most strongly influence the construction of an image style includes the stability of compositional connections between communicative elements and the constancy of scale-proportional combinations of coloristic masses. Conclusions. In the design of the image style, the use of communicative elements (even those already implemented by competitors) is not a disadvantage, but a structural basis for the formation of associative influence in each specific project, but it first of all requires a justified choice of components of the visual code and compositional means of their presentation, corresponding to the needs of each specific startup. The main condition for the introduction of differently coded visual components in the design of the image style should be their compliance with the thematic content of startups and its emotional and image projection, which should be recorded and imprinted in the minds of consumers.

A Study of Learning Environment for Initiating Flutter App Development Using Docker

The Flutter framework with Dart programming allows developers to effortlessly build applications for both web and mobile from a single codebase. It enables efficient conversions to native codes for mobile apps and optimized JavaScript for web browsers. Since utilizing a wide range of widgets in Flutter ensures consistent experiences on various devices for users, it becomes crucial in programming education by providing a unified environment for learning app development while reducing the need for platform-specific knowledge. However, the setup of the Flutter environment is challenging for novice students due to its multiple steps, such as installing dependencies and configuring environments. To support independent learning for these students, it is essential to simplify the setup by providing user-friendly instructions and automated tools. In this paper, we present a Docker-based environment for Flutter app developments across Windows, Linux, and Mac through Visual Studio Code, ensuring a unified learning experience. This paper aims to simplify complex configurations and address the obstacles encountered by students when initiating Flutter projects. For the evaluation, we prepared three simple Flutter projects along with the setup environment in a Docker container. Then, we asked 24 Master’s students at Okayama University, Japan, to install the environment and modify the source codes in the projects independently by following the given instructions. The results show that all the students successfully completed the assignments, which confirms the efficiency and validity of our proposal.

Visual poetics of the story by Grigory Baklanov "South of the main offensive"

The subject of research in this article are the characteristics and specificity of visual images and codes in the work of Grigory Baklanov "South of the main offensive". The relevance of the work lies in the fact that the scientific works devoted to the prose of Baklanov are represented by few works that study the poetics of psychologism in the writer's prose (A. E. Abramova) or the military prose of the Sixtiers as a whole (for example, in the study of T. G. Bogoradova and I. L. Startseva, Baklanov's prose is presented only as a part of the aggregate object). The writer's work is more widely discussed in the critical works of L. I. Lazarev, I. A. Dedkov and L. V. Oborin. Despite the importance of the figure of Grigory Baklanov in the "lieutenant prose", the sensual features of his prose are practically not studied. Meanwhile, Grigory Baklanov was one of the leading authors of "lieutenant prose". Thus, V. V. Bykov noted the primary influence on his work of the story "South of the main offensive" (1957) – the study of the visual poetics of this very work seems relevant. The methodological basis of the research was the immanent analysis, the comparative-comparative method, as well as B. A. Uspensky's approach to the analysis of the "point of view" in fiction. Aim of the research is to study the visual poetics of the story "South of the main offensive". The aim of the study is to consider the problem of visual poetics in modern literary studies, as well as to determine the functions and role of visual poetics in the artistic text of the story "South of the main offensive". In the work of Grigory Baklanov, the aspect of sensory poetics, which consists in appealing to the reader's perceptual experience through the text, is particularly pronounced – it is this aspect that is responsible for the formation of the sensory image of the artistic world of the work. In this study, visuality is considered as the main aspect of the reader's perception.

A STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT OF APPLICATION ON SENTIMENT ANALYSIS

A subfield of natural language processing called sentiment analysis is concerned with locating and obtaining subjective data from text. Analysing and categorising the emotional tone or polarity indicated in text—such as reviews, social media postings, news stories, and consumer feedback—is its primary goal. A subfield of natural language processing called sentiment analysis is concerned with locating and obtaining subjective data from text. Analysing and categorising the emotional tone or polarity indicated in text—such as reviews, social media postings, news stories, and consumer feedback—is its primary goal. Conversely, machine learning-based techniques employ algorithms to learn from a labelled dataset and categorise fresh data according to patterns seen in the training data. Hybrid methods combine both approaches to achieve better accuracy and coverage. Machine learning models, particularly Support Vector Machines (SVM), were utilized for sentiment analysis, involving the conversion of text data into numerical feature vectors and learning a hyperplane to classify sentiments accurately.

Exposure to Canadian French Cued Speech Improves Consonant Articulation in Children With Cochlear Implants: Acoustic and Articulatory Data.

One of the strategies that can be used to support speech communication in deaf children is cued speech, a visual code in which manual gestures are used as additional phonological information to supplement the acoustic and labial speech information. Cued speech has been shown to improve speech perception and phonological skills. This exploratory study aims to assess whether and how cued speech reading proficiency may also have a beneficial effect on the acoustic and articulatory correlates of consonant production in children. Eight children with cochlear implants (from 5 to 11 years of age) and with different receptive proficiency in Canadian French Cued Speech (three children with low receptive proficiency vs. five children with high receptive proficiency) are compared to 10 children with typical hearing (from 4 to 11 years of age) on their production of stop and fricative consonants. Articulation was assessed with ultrasound measurements. The preliminary results reveal that cued speech proficiency seems to sustain the development of speech production in children with cochlear implants and to improve their articulatory gestures, particularly for the place contrast in stops as well as fricatives. This work highlights the importance of studying objective data and comparing acoustic and articulatory measurements to better characterize speech production in children.

The Anxiety of Gothic Kinship: Generic and Aesthetic Heterogeneity in E. T. A. Hoffmann’s Novel The Devil’s Elixirs

In this paper I trace aesthetic and cultural-historical interactions between phenomena of the British Gothic literature and German Dark Romanticism in terms of cultural transfer. Focus of the study is the analysis of E. T. A. Hoffman’s novel The Devil’s Elixirs juxtaposed to Matthew G. Lewis’s The Monk. Works by Horace Walpole, Anne Radcliffe, Walter Scott, Friedrich Schiller, Carl Grosse, and others outline their Gothic context. The analysis traces the interplay of the verbal, the fantastic and the visual codes in the two novels and their synaesthetic interlocking, characteristic of the German author. The comparison includes characters and plot, intertextual, generic, ethical, and other aspects in Hoffmann’s and Lewis’s novels. Along with the Gothic, elements of the Bildungsroman and the Trivialroman are highlighted in The Elixirs. Also the motive of the double and instances of metafiction are analyzed in it. Critical works by E. Blackall, L. Doležel, R. Godal, M. Foucault, T. Todorov, and others were applied in my writing.

Image Division Using Threshold Schemes with Privileges

Threshold schemes are used among cryptographic techniques for splitting visual data. Such methods allow the generation of a number of secret shares, a certain number of which need to be assembled in order to reconstruct the original image. Traditional techniques for partitioning secret information generate equal shares, i.e., each share has the same value when reconstructing the original secret. However, it turns out that it is possible to develop and use partitioning protocols that allow the generation of privileged shares, i.e., those that allow the reconstruction of secret data in even smaller numbers. This paper will therefore describe new information sharing protocols that create privileged shares, which will also use visual authorization codes based on subject knowledge to select privileged shares for secret restoration. For the protocols described, examples of their functioning will be presented, and their complexity and potential for use in practical applications will be determined.

Design of IoT-based solar array cleaning system with enhanced performance and efficiency

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels suffer from a reduction in performance due to dirt and environmental pollutants accumulating on their surface.

Building a Worship Demand Application with The Waterfall Method Using Flutter Framework at The Al-Muttaqin Mosque Suralaga, Indonesia

With the rapid development of modern technology such as smartphones, it has positive and negative impacts in this modern era. The positive impact is easy access to information. Meanwhile, the negative impact is misuse of the smartphone itself, such as opening websites that are not suitable for viewing, one of which is addiction to internet games which makes you lazy about studying. Apart from that, there is also a significant problem, namely travelers and children or teenagers at the Al-Muttaqin Mosque in Suralaga who seem to have quite difficulty carrying religious guidance in the form of a book. To overcome this, an Android-based prayer guidance application was created. It is hoped that this can provide understanding for children and teenagers at the Al-Muttaqin Mosque in Suralaga. As a result, this application was built using the Flutter Framework and the Waterfall method which consists of the user needs analysis stage, namely analyzing what needs and features are needed when creating the application. The design stage is the system design stage using System Flowcharts, UML (Use Case, Class and Activity) diagrams. The implementation stage is the stage of implementing the UI/UX design into a programming language using Visual Studio Code. The final testing stage is the stage of testing the functionality of the application using black box testing and using usability. The results of black box testing show that all menus were successfully executed and the results of usability testing using a Likert scale were 84.8%. This shows that in terms of utility the application built is in the "Very Good" category.

Cultural Pluralisms: Neo-Nollywood and Biyi Bandele’s Ẹlẹ́ṣin Ọba (2022)

ABSTRACT In Biyi Bandele’s last feature, Ẹlẹ́ṣin Ọba (2022), adapted from Wole Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman, Bandele registers an awareness for the multiple film cultures that have shaped filmmaking in Nigeria. Ẹlẹ́ṣin Ọba is structured as a homage to the legacies of Yorùbá traveling theatricalities, while retaining the visual codes of contemporary cinema, including in the ways it co-opts traits of Western and neo-Nollywood filmmaking. In this analysis of Ẹlẹ́ṣin Ọba, I map the visual awareness it establishes of the legacies of filmmaking in Nigeria, while also centering the film’s thematic registers of colonial politics, cultural abjection, and gendered representations as constitutive of the colonial world in which the story is situated. I frame Bandele’s pluralistic approach as a spirited engagement with the unstable category that colonization produces for the erstwhile colonized person. That is, it is not only the characters in Ẹlẹ́ṣin Ọba who are forced to interplay between Yorùbá and British intellectual and cultural practices; Bandele, too, is placed in this complex interrogation, as embedded in his stylistic approach.
