    Abstract Blind source separation (BSS) recovers source signals from observations without knowing the mixing process or source signals. Underdetermined blind source separation (UBSS) occurs when there are fewer mixes than source signals. Sparse component analysis (SCA) is a general UBSS solution that benefits from sparse source signals which consists of (1) mixing matrix estimation and (2) source recovery estimation. The first stage of SCA is crucial, as it will have an impact on the recovery of the source. Single-source points (SSPs) were detected and clustered during the process of mixing matrix estimation. Adaptive time-frequency thresholding (ATFT) was introduced to increase the accuracy of the mixing matrix estimations. ATFT only used significant TF coefficients to detect the SSPs. After identifying the SSPs, hierarchical clustering approximates the mixing matrix. The second stage of SCA estimated the source recovery using least squares methods. The mixing matrix and source recovery estimations were evaluated using the error rate and mean squared error (MSE) metrics. The experimental results on four bioacoustics signals using ATFT demonstrated that the proposed technique outperformed the baseline method, Zhen's method, and three state-of-the-art methods over a wide range of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ranges while consuming less time.

    Abstract This study aims to investigate the effects of air quality on child mortality in developing countries. We consider annual data covering the period from 2010 to 2016 of 58 countries and estimate the empirical models using recently developed panel quantile regression with the method of moments (MM-QR). It is found that outdoor air quality (measured by the concentration of PM₂.₅ in the air) has a positive and significant effect on total child mortality, post-neonatal mortality, and under-five child mortality. However, its effect on neonatal mortality is not statistically significant at lower quantiles. Furthermore, Household air pollution (HAP) also has a positive and significant effect on total child mortality, neonatal mortality, and under-five child mortality. The effect of HAP on post-neonatal mortality is not significant in most cases. Overall, the adverse effect of HAP is larger than the PM₂.₅. For instance, a 1% increase of PM₂.₅ concentration in the outdoor causes 0.231% total child mortality due to respiratory diseases at [Formula: see text], while a 1% increase of HAP causes 0.532% total child mortality at the same quantile. In many cases, the coefficients of PM₂.₅ and HAP increase at the higher quantiles, supporting asymmetric effects of pollutants on child mortality. However, per capita income, access to basic drinking water and sanitation facilities, and domestic and external health expenditures significantly reduce child mortality. On the contrary, open defecation increases mortality. Consequently, policymakers should take adequate measures to improve indoor and outdoor air quality to combat child mortality due to respiratory diseases in developing countries. They should also take initiatives to enhance per capita income, basic drinking water, and sanitation facilities, domestic and external health expenditures, and public awareness against open defecation.

    Abstract Introduction As medical knowledge, technology, and healthcare delivery continue to evolve, it is critical that upcoming healthcare workers possess the skills and information needed to ensure optimal patient care. Numerous studies indicate that students achieve better learning outcomes through active practice rather than solely relying on theoretical knowledge. The average human attention span is only 8.25 seconds, so an effective teaching program should employ various modes and techniques to ensure that students remain involved and interested. Aims and objectives The aim is to identify the primary areas where medical students need teaching and guidance and form the basis of a new teaching program to meet those needs. Materials and methods An anonymous online questionnaire, designed by the author was distributed to medical students who came for their clinical rotations at Basildon University Hospital, Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom, and that laid the foundations for introducing a new teaching program at the education department of the hospital in April 2023. The progress of the teaching program was evaluated by a second questionnaire-based survey conducted after six months, in October 2023. The teaching program we designed employed various modes and techniques including simulation, flip classroom, graded quizzes, and constructive feedback. The technique we used for giving feedback to students was the "star star wish" to encourage growth and further participation. The teaching program also made use of Lev Vygotsky's "Learning zone model" to ensure optimum learning. Results and discussion The program received immensely positive feedback from the students, and they felt that it catered perfectly to their requirements. Twenty-three students took part in this study and the results showed that 39% of the students felt adequately prepared for ward rounds in October 2023 in contrast to only 17% in April 2023. The mean score, on a scale of 1-10 on how comfortable the students felt in discussing patient care plans and management with the rest of the team rose from 2.78 in April 2023 to 4.26 in October 2023. When asked to score how confident the students felt in performing bedside examinations in wards, 26% scored 5 or above (on a scale of 1-10) in April 2023 as compared to 62% scoring 5 or above in October 2023. The students were then asked how confident they felt in using their theoretical knowledge in practical situations and the majority scored 2 or 3 (on a scale of 1-10) in April 2023 whereas in October, the majority scored 4 or above. Conclusions A significant number of medical students were satisfied with the teaching program and demanded more frequent sessions. The results of this study showed that in order to foster increased student engagement and effective participation, it is essential for teaching to incorporate diverse techniques and approaches.

    Abstract The heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70) has important roles in protecting cells and keeping them alive when exposed to different stress conditions. The polymorphism of the hsp 70 gene could be linked with the ability of stress tolerance. This study aimed to determine the polymorphism of the hsp 70 gene in Iraqi buffaloes and study bits effects on the resistance to stress. This study was conducted during from November 2018 to February 2019. The number of buffalo females used was 35 at the age of 4 - 6 years, which belonged to the local farmers from Basra city, Iraq. The DNA was extraction from the blood samples then the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification was performed. The DNA sequences were analyzed by using bioinformatics analysis. The results of the molecular analysis showed that there were two groups of the hsp 70 gene as a compare with the same genes in GenBank due to silent and missense mutations. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Iraqi buffaloes have adapted to the surrounding environmental conditions as a result of the action of HSP 70 proliferation. The hsp 70 gene was a useful biomarker of stress tolerance in buffaloes.

    Abstract When assessing the state of the climate system, industrial area heat (IAH) is one of the most critical variables for energy auditing. Thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing techniques were used to track the surface temperature and microclimate impacts in an industrial environment by analysing in-situ data and their relationship with industrial features to characterise their impacts on human health and climate change. Based on TIR data, this study used an automatic detection method for industrial area heat (IAH). The IAH data is first retrieved, then the local abnormal high-temperature pixels are extracted using PIX4D software for UAV and split window for Landsat 8, and finally, the hotspot targets are identified using the spatial autocorrelation Moran's analysis tool available in the ArcGIS ESRI environment. The correlations (R 2 ) between in-situ measurement and satellite-based industrial emissions at PGI were 0.85 with an RMSE of + 3.37 and 0.89 with an RMSE of + 1.42 at KSM. The detection accuracy of IAH methods is dominant. IAH accounted for 20% of the cool- and hot spots areas in the entire study area. The total cool-spots had a higher polygons per km 2 (3.5 n/km 2 ) value than the total hot-spots (0.6 n/km 2 ) value, while LEVEL-3 and LEVEL-2 had the lowest values, while the highest values were always found in LEVEL-1, with approximately 50 % IAH variation between the previous and next level. Moving from the total average cool-spot to the total average hot-spot classes generally increased about 5 °C. Between the most extreme cool- and hot-spot levels (LEVEL-3) for PG in the overall industrial area, a mean IAH increase of approximately 34.7 °C and 58.5 °C was observed.

    Abstract Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is an acute hyperkinetic movement disorder characterized by hemiballismus-hemichorea (HBHC) due to nonketotic hyperglycemia. DS manifests a fascinating interplay between endocrinopathy (diabetes), striatal (putamen, caudate nucleus, globus pallidus) pathology, and a dramatic neurological movement disorder, HBHC. The striking hyperintensity on imaging modalities such as computed axial tomography (CT) scan of the brain and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain can mislead the clinician to an erroneous diagnosis of a cerebral hemorrhage and/or ischemic infarct, especially in an acute setting. We present an acute case of DS and outline the natural history, semiology, typical radiological findings, and therapeutic options. With careful and thoughtful analysis, an accurate diagnosis can be exacted, sparing the patient unnecessary anxiety and medical costs.
