In the context of an escalating energy crisis, the burgeoning prevalence of remote work, and challenging climatic conditions, ensuring optimal indoor air quality (IAQ) has emerged as a pressing concern. This pilot study rigorously investigates the complex interplay between biological, chemical, and physical parameters that characterize IAQ, focusin...

Deep Learning models are currently the cornerstone of artificial intelligence in medical imaging. The performance of Deep Learning in medical imaging is significantly influenced by the amount and quality of training data. Diffusion models have recently attracted the attention of the computer vision community as they enable photorealistic synthetic...

In this technical note, we examine the capabilities of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) for diagnosing osteoporosis through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of the mandible. The evaluation was conducted using 188 patients’ mandibular CBCT images utilizing DCNN models built on the ResNet-101 framework. We adopted a segmented thre...

The analysis of bone microstructure and histological examination currently provides valuable insights into various facets of bone biology, ancient human existence, and bone-related diseases. This study aims to scrutinize the microstructure of historic Latvian bones, with three bone element groups selected (humerus, radius, and ulna) from a skeletal...

Introduction: This research seeks to develop population-specific standards for skeletal sex determination, focusing on the medieval Kurdish population of Girˆe Kortikˆe and the mandible, a skull component presenting the highest degree of sexual dimorphism. This is the first study of its kind for this population. The research’s primary ob- jectives...

Specific high physical and psychological load energy expenditure should be covered by balanced diet that is adapted to physical load. Food intake is one of the vital processes that support body activity and maintain physical working capacity in special environment. Various objective and subjective factors have an impact on body energy expenditure a...

Nowadays there is a challenge to provide a good indoor air quality because of the energy crisis, distance working and climate changing circumstances in premises. The aim of study was dedicated to biological, chemical and physical parameters of air quality, such as temperature, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter (PM2.5 and...

The RaspberrySet dataset is a valuable resource for those working in the field of agriculture, particularly in the selection and breeding of ecologically adaptable berry cultivars. This is because long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns have made it increasingly important for crops to be able to adapt to their environment. To assess t...

The growth and maturation of a child’s body are going on continuously, but unevenly. Therefore, children of the same age may have different growth and functional abilities. On the initiative of the Latvian government, a pilot project was launched, which aims to evaluate the readiness of children to start school at the age of six as well as compare...

The choice of technique for the creation of a 3D digital human bone model from natural specimens has a critical impact on the final result and usability of the obtained model. The cornerstone factor in 3D modeling is the number of faces of polygon mesh, along with topological accuracy, as well as resolution and level of detail of the texture map. T...

Educational institutions in several countries state that the education sector should be modernized to ensure a contemporary, individualized, and more open learning process by introducing and developing advance digital solutions and learning tools. Visualization along with 3D printing have already found their implementation in different medical fiel...

Combining classical educational methods with interactive three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology has great power to support and provide students with a unique opportunity to use them in the study process, training, and/or simulation of different medical procedures in terms of a Human Anatomy course. In 2016, Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) o...
