    Abstract According to the Ten Leading Causes of Death Statistics Report by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2021, cancer ranks as the leading cause of mortality. Among them, pleomorphic glioblastoma is a common type of brain cancer. Brain cancer often occurs in the brain with unclear boundaries from normal brain tissue, necessitating assistance from experienced doctors to distinguish brain tumors before surgical resection to avoid damaging critical neural structures. In recent years, with the advancement of deep learning (DL) technology, artificial intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in disease diagnosis, especially in the field of image segmentation. This technology can aid doctors in locating and measuring brain tumors, while significantly reducing manpower and time costs. Currently, U-Net is one of the primary image segmentation techniques. It utilizes skip connections to combine high-level and low-level feature information, leading to significant improvements in segmentation accuracy. To further enhance the model's performance, this study explores the feasibility of using EfficientNetV2 as an encoder in combination with U-net. Experimental results indicate that employing EfficientNetV2 as an encoder together with U-net can improve the segmentation model's Dice score (loss = 0.0866, accuracy = 0.9977, and Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) = 0.9133).

    Abstract Lianhua Qingwen capsule is a famous traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription that is widely used for the treatment of respiratory diseases in China. To facilitate in-depth and global characterization of the chemical constituents of Lianhua Qingwen capsule, a profiling method based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (UHPLC-FT-ICR-MS) was applied in both positive and negative ion modes for the comprehensive characterization of the chemical profiles of Lianhua Qingwen capsule. A total of 596 compounds were identified or tentatively characterized, including 137 flavonoids, 46 phenylpropanoids, 43 phenylethanoid glycosides, 145 terpenoids, 83 organic acids and their derivatives, 15 quinones, 39 alkaloids, 32 alcohol glycosides and 56 other compounds. Thus, this results widely extended and enriched the chemical constituents of Lianhua Qingwen capsule, which will provide comprehensive and valuable information for its quality control and further pharmacological study, facilitate understanding the effective substance and pharmacodynamic material basis, thereby providing a solid foundation for further development of the Lianhuaqingwen capsule.

  5. Article ; Online: The Thomson-Clausius synthesis revisited

    Lin-Shu Wang

    Qeios (2022)

    Why “conversion” of heat to work is a misnomer?

    2022  

    Abstract: James Lovelock (2019) called the Newcomen-Watt-Carnot discovery of the motive power of heat the second “decisive event in the history of our planet,” the event that led to the Thomson-Clausius synthesis of Carnot’s and Joule’s theories of heat ... ...

    Abstract James Lovelock (2019) called the Newcomen-Watt-Carnot discovery of the motive power of heat the second “decisive event in the history of our planet,” the event that led to the Thomson-Clausius synthesis of Carnot’s and Joule’s theories of heat introducing the conceptual tool of energy. “Whenever a new tool emerged within an endeavor, practitioners tended to use it in the context of previous habits and remained blind for a while to its full potential,” observed Marshall McLuhan (1964). This paper argues that thermodynamic practitioners have been applying thermodynamics in the context of the pre-industrialization mechanical-sciences—correspondingly, treating connection and conversion of heat and work synonymously. The paper clarifies the relation between connection of heat and work and conversion of work to heat; two innovative highlights of the paper are the necessity of considering _interventionist causation _in the treatment of “processes of unnatural direction,” and a new interpretation of the Clausius Cycle as “transmission transformation” drives/compensates the “extraction of heat” instead of the “conversion of heat,” which implies that heat can be converted to work without “compensation.” Furthermore, the paper makes the case for supplanting the conceptual tool of “energy” with the conceptual tool of “nature’s statistical tendency” foretelling that the new conceptual tool will fulfill the full potential of the 18th-19th-century discovery of the motive power of heat.

    Abstract Background: Effects of exercise interventions targeting frail adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) are unknown.
    Objective: This study compared the effects of a combined exercise, walking programs and no intervention on frailty and muscle mass in adults with ID and pre-frail or frail conditions.
    Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental design, with 103 adults from six residential care and day-care centers in southern Taiwan completing study participation. A 10-week combined exercise and walking program were administered to the experimental (n = 36) and comparison (n = 32) groups respectively, with no intervention provided to the control group (n = 35). A questionnaire, measurements of frailty phenotype and a body composition machine were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, chi-squared test, ANOVA and repeated measure ANOVA tests were conducted in the Chinese IBM SPSS 20.0.
    Results: Significant differences on level of frailty among the three groups were revealed after interventions. Mean differences of muscle mass demonstrated significant changes between baseline and after interventions, although improvements of frailty score between baseline and after interventions were not significant.
    Conclusions: Our preliminary findings demonstrated the tendency of positive effects of combined exercise or walking programs in improving level of frailty and muscle mass in adults with ID. Early implementation of exercise interventions might be beneficial for prematurely aging adults with ID.

    Abstract The spread of COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted severe blows on the global hospitality industry. In Taiwan, revenue from the food and beverage (F&B) department has decreased by more than 90%. This study aims to understand whether celebrity chefs can effectively help and enhance their corporates' business performance under COVID-19's severe impacts via leveraging their personal brand value, explores the influence of a celebrity chef on customer repurchase behavior during the epidemic and examines whether such a chef has a mediation effect on the relationship between corporate brand and customer satisfaction. The primary data were collected from the respondents through online questionnaire in Taiwan to get 245 respondents as a sample size of the research from Nov. 10 to Nov. 25 in 2021, and through validity and reliability analysis that processed by statistical software using factor analysis and structural equation modeling to see if celebrity chefs' personality branding could influence customer repurchase behavior, and also examine the relationship between corporate brand and celebrity chef. The findings show that corporate brand enhances both a celebrity chef's personal brand and customer satisfaction, and that a celebrity chef has a positive effect on both customer satisfaction and loyalty, which can partially mediate the effect of corporate brand; furthermore, a celebrity chef has a positive effect on customer repurchase behavior. In Taiwan relative studies into aspects of a celebrity chef's effect on consumer behavior are limited, and so this research offers new insights into the celebrity chef phenomenon there as well as elsewhere.

    Abstract A gambling or “game” phenomenon can be observed in the complex relationship between sources and receptors of ecological compensation among multiple stakeholders. This paper investigates the problem of gambling to determine payment amounts, and details a method to estimate the ecological compensation amount related to water resources in the Wuxijiang River reservoir area in China. Public statistics and first-hand data obtained from a field investigation were used as data sources. Estimation of the source and receptor amount of ecological compensation relevant to the water resource being investigated was achieved using the contingent valuation method (CVM). The ecological compensation object and its benefit and gambling for the Wuxijiang River water source area are also analyzed in this paper. According to the results of a CVM survey, the ecological compensation standard for the Wuxijiang River was determined by the CVM, and the amount of compensation was estimated. Fifteen blocks downstream of the Wuxijiang River and 12 blocks in the water source area were used as samples to administer a survey that estimated the willingness to pay (WTP) and the willingness to accept (WTA) the ecological compensation of Wuxijiang River for both nonparametric and parametric estimation. Finally, the theoretical value of the ecological compensation amount was estimated. Without taking other factors into account, the WTP of residents in the Wuxi River water source was 297.48 yuan per year, while the WTAs were 3864.48 yuan per year. The theoretical standard of ecological compensation is 2294.39–2993.81 yuan per year. Under the parameter estimation of other factors, the WTP of residents in the Wuxi River water source area was 528.72 yuan per year, while the WTA was 1514.04 yuan per year. The theoretical standard of ecological compensation is 4076.25–5434.99 yuan per year. The main factors influencing the WTP ecological compensation in the Wuxi River basin are annual income and age. The main factors affecting WTA are gender and ...
