Combining Genetic Algorithm with Local Search Method in Solving Optimization Problems

This research focuses on evolutionary algorithms, particularly genetic and memetic algorithms. The study examines a graph theory problem related to finding a minimal Hamiltonian cycle in a complete undirected graph (Travelling Salesman Problem-TSP). The paper presents implementations of two approximate algorithms for solving this problem: genetic and memetic. The main objective is to determine the...

Sequential Test of Fuzzy Hypotheses

This paper explores the problem of testing statistical hypotheses when the hypotheses are fuzzy and the data are crisp. The authors introduce new definitions for mass (density) probability functions with fuzzy parameters, as well as probabilities of type I and type II errors. They then present and prove a sequential probability ratio test for fuzzy hypotheses based on these new error definitions. ...

Richard Rohr: Trinity, Christ, and Creation

This article aims to present Richard Rohr's Trinitarian and Christological approach to the whole of creation. The Trinity as the basic structure of the cosmos is here the principal starting point for a dynamic process of "becoming". The specific key in this approach is found in the theological meaning of "Christ in all and all." Although this Rohr's view of Christ is in many ways controversial, it...

Surgical mortality in patients in extremis: futility in emergency abdominal surgery

This scoping review evaluates the prognostic impact and describes suturing tools for mesenteric closure after laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH). A systematic search of medical databases identified 7 relevant publications. The evidence does not support routine closure of mesenteric defects after LRH. Use of polymer ligation clips showed promising results in a small trial, but further research ...

Development of a nomogram for the prediction of complicated appendicitis during pregnancy

This study explores the electrochemical synthesis of S-oxide metabolites from phenothiazine-containing antipsychotic medications. The researchers investigated the structure-electroactivity relationship and cyclic voltammetry behavior of 2-chlorophenothiazine (2CPTZ) and chlorpromazine (CPZ). They successfully synthesized and isolated the sulfoxide and sulfone metabolites using constant current ele...

U-shaped kirschner wire transfixation: effective treatment for Skier’s thumb

U-shaped Kirschner wire transfixation is proposed as an effective treatment for Skier's thumb, a type of injury to the ulnar collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb. This study compared the traditional Kirschner wire fixation method with the U-shaped Kirschner wire method for treating small bone fragments with displacement, rotation, or instability in skier's fractures. A...

The value of mesenteric closure after laparoscopic right hemicolectomy: a scoping review

To evaluate the prognostic impact and describe suturing tools of mesenteric closure after laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH), a scoping review was conducted. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched for publications relating to mesenteric closure data and tools. A total of 7 publications were identified, with 5 focused on prognostic impact and 4 refe...
