Using A Neural Network to Generate Images When Teaching Students to Develop an Alternative Text by Yekaterina A. Kosova, Kirill I. Redkokosh, Pavel O. Mikheyev

“…It has been suggested that a neural network for generating images from text descriptions can act as a tool for checking the relevance of the developed text alternatives.Materials and methods. The study was carried out in April-May 2023. 17 undergraduate students studied the requirements for developing text alternatives, completed initial text descriptions for three proposed photographs, and then corrected the text using the Kandinsky 2.1 neural network according to the algorithm: generating an image from the description; visual comparison of the resulting image with the original; returning to editing the description or ending the process. …”

Macular form of post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis: Clinical features, diagnosis, and significance in the Kala-Azar Elimination Programme by V. Ramesh, Nilay Kanti Das

“…Treatment is the same as recommended for PKDL but since the hypopigmentation takes longer to repigment, better methods of test of cure like qPCR are required. Training modules for health workers doing epidemiological work must consider this presentation more seriously, increase awareness, and discuss other confounding dermatoses like pityriasis versicolor and vitiligo.…”

Improvement the bearing capacity of the soil which is supporting the shallow foundation by using bored short micro-piles by Shaymaa khalid AbdulRahman Al-Chalabi

“… In this paper , concrete micro-piles were used to improve the bearing capacity of the soil which is supporting the shallow foundation by using groups of (4; 6 and 9)bored short micro-piles which have, (D=0.125m and D=0.1m), and length to diameter ratio (L/D) equal to (6; 10 and 12) respectively. To calculate the bearing capacity of the micro-piles,(Tomlinson) and (Lamda) methods were used; also the soil properties were taken from Al-Muthana airport,(Al-Qyssi,2001) [1].    …”
