    Abstract Abstract This article presents a comprehensive review of current Magnetic Imaging Techniques (MIT), specifically Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods as well as their impacts and potential in biomedical applications. The paper particularly focuses on several perspectives of MPI and MRI techniques including technical considerations, advantages, limitations, applications, future trends. Surprisingly, there are not many review articles that focused on MPI and MRI. This review will give a complete overview of present technology, perspectives, and potential future developments for MPI and MRI. MIT has become an essential and integral part of medical diagnosis in many large medical clinics and hospitals. This area is rapidly developing and evolving to meet the huge demands in medical diagnosis and prevention. MPI and MRI are promising technologies that provide reliable and effective diagnosis for many diseases including cancer. MIT uses non‐invasive scanning to obtain a detailed image of the body's tissues or organs without the necessity for surgery. These techniques allow us to detect symptoms of serious diseases at an early stage. Early detection also gives patients the chance to get the right care before their illnesses advance to a late, incurable stage, potentially saving many lives.

    Abstract This paper proposes a super-twisting adaptive sliding mode control law for maximum power point tracking of wind energy conversion systems based on permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs). The employed sliding mode control algorithm can be considered an effective solution, as it retains the robustness properties of classical sliding mode control methods in the presence of disturbances and parameter uncertainties; at the same time, it provides chattering reduction via gain adaptation and generation of second-order sliding modes. In our work, a nonlinear multi-input multi-output tracking control problem is solved to maximize the captured power. Simulation results are presented using real wind speed data, and discussed for the proposed controller and four other sliding mode control solutions for the same problem, in the presence of variations of stator resistance, stator inductance and magnetic flux linkage. The proposed controller achieves the best trade-off between tracking performance and chattering reduction among the five considered solutions: compared to a standard sliding mode control algorithm, it reduces the amount of chattering from two to five orders of magnitude, and the steady-state error on PMSG rotor velocity of one order of magnitude. Also, it reduces the above-mentioned steady-state error of four orders of magnitude with respect to a previously-proposed linear quadratic regulator based integral sliding mode control law for the same system.

    Abstract This article presents the assessment of time-dependent national-level restrictions and control actions and their effects in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. By analysing the transmission dynamics during the first wave of COVID-19 in the country, the effectiveness of the various levels of control actions taken to flatten the curve can be better quantified and understood. This in turn can help the relevant authorities to better plan for and control the subsequent waves of the pandemic. To achieve this, a deterministic population model for the pandemic is firstly developed to take into consideration the time-dependent characteristics of the model parameters, especially on the ever-evolving value of the reproduction number, which is one of the critical measures used to describe the transmission dynamics of this pandemic. The reproduction number alongside other key parameters of the model can then be estimated by fitting the model to real-world data using numerical optimisation techniques or by inducing ad-hoc control actions as recorded in the news platforms. In this article, the model is verified using a case study based on the data from the first wave of COVID-19 in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The model is fitted to provide estimates for two settings in simulations; time-invariant and time-varying (with bounded constraints) parameters. Finally, some forecasts are made using four scenarios with time-dependent control measures so as to determine which would reflect on the actual situations better.

    Abstract Background: Stroke patients are at high risk for stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP). If patients suffer from pneumonia their prognosis will worsen.
    Aim: To identify factors that increases the risk of SAP in stroke patients.
    Methods: A group of 508 patients hospitalized within 5 days after the onset of stroke were enrolled prospectively.
    Results: The incidence of SAP was 13.4%. Some major risk factors for SAP are: mechanical ventilation (MV) had odds ratio (OR) 16.4 (p <0.01); the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) > 15 OR 9.1 (p <0.01); the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS) 0-14 OR 11.7 (p <0.01).
    Conclusion: SAP is a frequent complication. We identified some risk factors of SAP, especially stroke severity (NIHSS > 15), swallowing disorder (GUSS < 15) and mechanical ventilation.

    Abstract This paper presents the assessment and forecasts of the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 with the effects of time-dependent control actions using the data in Kazakhstan as a case study. First, a modified SEIRD (susceptible, exposed, infectious, recovered, and death) model is introduced. The SEIRD model is developed to take into account the time-dependent characteristics of the model parameters, especially on the ever-evolving value of the reproduction number, which is one of the critical measurements used to describe the transmission dynamics of this epidemic. The reproduction number alongside other key parameters of the model can be estimated by fitting the model to real-world data using numerical optimisation techniques. In this paper, the trust-region-reflective (TTR) algorithm is used to fit the model to estimate both time-invariant and time-varying (with bounded contsraints) parameters. The model is verified using a case study based on the data in Kazakhstan, which is a country badly affected by this pandemic but has not been receiving much attention by the research community thus far. Finally, some forecasts are made using five scenarios with time-dependent control measures such that the effects of the control actions onto the transmission dynamics of the pandemic can be quantified and better understood.

    Abstract This paper aims to develop an innovative sensorless control approach for a five-phase induction motor (IM) drive. The operation principle of the sensorless scheme is based on the sliding mode theory, within which a sliding mode observer (SMO) estimates the speed and rotor resistance simultaneously. The operation methodology of the proposed control technique is formulated using the mathematical model of the machine and the two-time-scale approach. The observation technique offers a simple and robust solution of speed and rotor resistance estimation for the sensorless control approach of the multiphase drive. The paper considers the five-phase induction motor (IM) as a case study; however, the proposed control algorithm can be employed by different types of multiphase machines. To test the applicability of the proposed sensorless control approach, the drive performance is firstly validated using MATLAB/Simulink-based simulation. Then, the simulation results are verified using real-time simulation and experimentally using TMS320C32 DSP-based control board. The obtained results confirm and validate the ability of the proposed control procedure in achieving a robust dynamic performance of the drive against the system uncertainties such as parameter variation.

    Abstract Background: There have been many scales to predict pneumonia in stroke patients, but they are so complex, making it difficult to apply in practice. Therefore, we conducted this study to assess the role of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS) in predicting stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP). These scales are routinely used in stroke patients. Therefore, their application in predicting SAP risk will be of high value in clinical practice. There has been no previous study evaluating the effectiveness of SAP risk prediction for each of these scales.
    Aim: This study aimed to compare the value of NIHSS and GUSS in SAP prediction and their convenience in clinical practice.
    Methods: It was a cohort study. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were constructed to assess the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of the scales. Area under the curves (AUC) were calculated, and we compared them.
    Results: NIHSS had a medium value of predictor of SAP with AUC 0.764 (95% CI 0.735-0.792), 65.4% Se, 76.5% Sp. GUSS had good value in predicting SAP with AUC 0.858 (95% CI 0.833-0.880), 80.5% Se, 80.1% Sp. Pairwise comparison of ROCs curves demonstrated that the difference between two AUCs was significant (p < 0.01). Performing GUSS required 24.5 ± 6.7 minutes, 2.5 times longer than NIHSS (9.9 ± 2.0 minutes).
    Conclusion: GUSS had a better predictive value of SAP than NIHSS. But NIHSS was more convenient in clinical practice because of its simple instrument and quick performance.

    Abstract Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (
    Methods: We synthesized RNA based on the genes published to estimate the concentration of inactivated virus samples in a biosafety level 3 laboratory. The limit of detection (LOD), linearity, accuracy, and precision were evaluated according to the bioanalytical method validation guidelines.
    Results: We found that the LOD reached around 3 copies/reaction. Furthermore, intra-assay precision, accuracy, and linearity met the accepted criterion with an RSD for copies of less than 25%, and linear regression met the accepted
    Conclusions: We suggest that synthesized RNA based on the database of the NCBI gene bank for estimating the concentration of inactivated virus samples provides a potential opportunity for reliable testing to diagnose coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as well as limit the spread of the disease. This method may be relatively quick and inexpensive, and it may be useful for developing countries during the pandemic era. In the long term, it is also applicable for evaluation, verification, validation, and external quality assessment.
