Authors: Boisson Marie , Verre Justine , Paumier Anne , Tribolo Sandra , Chanut Stéphanie
Published: December 2024

Background: Some homeopathic medicines are traditionally used in medical practice to strengthen immunity and reduce inflammation. In particular, Influenzinum is used in clinical practice for the prevention of influenza-like illness, the management of possible symptoms following an anti-influenza vaccination and post-infectious convalescence. Echinacea angustifolia is the best known for its beneficial effects on the immune system and infectious syndrome. During an infection (viral or bacterial), the innate immunity is the first body response. It is an immediate inflammatory reaction which involves, among other factors, phagocytosis and oxidative stress at the cellular level (1). Objectives: To evaluate in vitro the effect of homeopathic dilutions of Influenzinum 9CH and 15CH and Echinacea angustifolia 5CH on biological markers of cellular inflammation and phagocytosis in several cellular models. Results: In inflamed macrophages, Influenzinum 9CH significantly increases the production of IL-6 (Interleukin-6) and MCP-1 (Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1) by 26% and 34%, respectively, compared with placebo which help to eliminate pathogens. In inflamed endothelial cells, Influenzinum 9CH and 15CH significatly decrease ICAM-1(InterCellular Adhesion Molecule-1) production by 20% compared with placebo, limiting the vascular inflammation. Furthermore, Influenzinum 9CH and 15CH demonstrated an antioxidant effects by significantly decreasing total ROS (reactive oxygen species) in inflamed primary microglia cells. Moreover, Echinacea angustifolia 5CH significantly increases the phagocytosis by 15% in monocytes and 25% in microglial cells compared with water (placebo) in non-inflammatory conditions. Conclusions: We demonstrated that Influenzinum and Echinacea angustifolia have a biological action in cell models in vitro. In inflammatory conditions, Influenzinum 9CH and 15CH have (i) immunostimulant effect, (ii) anti-inflammlatory effect on vascular cells, (iii) antioxidant effect. Echinacea angustifolia 5CH stimulates phagocytosis. Overall, Influenzinum and Echinacea angustifolia have a boosting effect on various biological parameters of innate immunity.
The groundings of the Terra project
Authors: Dorfman Pierre , Andras Hans Georg , Bonamin Leoni
Published: December 2024

Since L Kolisko's first experimental work in the 1930s, numerous studies have highlighted the positive impact of dynamized high dilutions (DHDs) on plant vitality and quality of agricultural soil. More recently, bio-resilience and agroecological cultivation concepts have been developed to propose alternative approaches to conventional agronomic methods. The scope of the Terra project is focused on further research to apply DHDs to agro-economics, the environment in general, and the fauna and flora. The scientific grounding lies in quantifying signals emitted by such dilutions by well-defined physicochemical methods, such as NMR, spectroscopy, and recently, Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis [1]. These fundamental features make their effects on bio-resilience processes plausible and lead to sustainable productivity. The quantification of the interface between diluted/potentized compounds, its emitting signals, and the rich context of biology will be focused on to develop and implement methods and products that will reduce the harmful impact of pesticides, improve and catalyze the results of fertilization, reduce the overall consumption of pure water in agroeconomics and thereby also reduce the carbon footprint in this vital sector of the world´s overall economy and society. Experimental models and methodological tools have been a helpful resource for starting those studies. In vivo models already validated in homeopathy will be used to study the biological activity of HDHs. A proof-of-principle (POP) study is being performed with Artemia salina to evaluate the effects of serial dilutions of Silicea terra. In connection with the work of Rolland Conte et al. presented in the Theory of High Dilutions [2], the FMRC provides statistical and methodological tools for interpreting physicochemical and biological data. A network of scientists working in the field of DHDs applied to biological (aquaculture, agronomy) and physicochemical systems has been set up to carry out this research program.
The lessons from DynHom Research Project
Authors: Van Wassenhoven Michel , Goyens M , Dorfman Pierre
Published: December 2024

Initiated in 2014, the DynHom (Dynamisation & Homeopathy) project was set up to answer the question: “How are highly dynamized dilutions prepared according to the homeopathic European Pharmacopoeia work?”. This vast program was carried out in collaboration with French and Belgian university teams. Based on the work of Prof. JL Demangeat, already published in nuclear magnetic resonance [1], we confirmed, like other teams around the word, that homeopathic preparations are not simply water but structured solutions, even for dilutions beyond the Avogadro number [2]. This major observation raises a new question: how and by what are these homeopathic solutions? After 8 years of measurements on multiple series of preparations (dynamized products, simply diluted products, and dynamized solvents as controls) using sophisticated laser microscopy (Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis, NTA), the answer is clear: the presence of nanoparticles in all homeopathic preparations is definitively established (3). Homeopathic potentization cannot be considered as simple dilutions. The molecular composition of these preparations was studied in parallel after lyophilization using electron microscopy and infrared spectrometry (SEM-EDX-FTIR). A specific proportion of carbonates and silicates is observed. Sodium bicarbonate is the main component. This remains true throughout manufacturing, even for the highest potentization [4]. In parallel, systematic measurements of the pH were performed on all these serial preparations after pooling manufacturing lines. As before, we conclude that pH profiles are specific for each product. Once again, this is just as evident in high dilutions. The particulate composition seems able to stabilize specific electric fields for each homeopathic medicine (in the publication process). Another key question is whether the specific characteristics of liquid homeopathic medicines can still be detected after impregnation with globules, granules, or powders. To find out, we need to use an innovative approach, electro-photonic analysis (EPA). A high-voltage current (12,000 volts) applied to the granules excites the electrons, which, when the stimulation stops, return to their initial resting state, emitting light. An imprint of the solution impregnated into the granule remains in the form of a specific light spectrum (future publication). These years of research into the pharmacognosy of homeopathic medicines have therefore been useful, but we still have a long way to go to arrive at a pharmacological explanation of our medicines.
The Hydrological Archetypes of Wetlands

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Wetlands are valuable and diverse environments that contribute to a vast range of ecosystem services, such as flood control, drought resilience, and carbon sequestration. The provision of these ecosystem services depends on their hydrological functioning, which refers to how water is stored and moved within a wetland environment. Since the hydrological functions of wetlands vary widely based on location, wetland type, hydrological connectivity, vegetation, and seasonality, there is no single approach to defining these functions. Consequently, accurately identifying their hydrological functions to quantify ecosystem services remains challenging. To address this issue, we investigate the hydrological regimes of wetlands, focusing on water extent, to better understand their hydrological functions. We achieve this goal using Sentinel-1 SAR imagery and a self-supervised deep learning model (DeepAqua) to predict surface water extent for 43 Ramsar sites in Sweden between 2020–2023. The wetlands are grouped into the following archetypes based on their hydrological similarity: 'autumn drying', ‘summer dry', 'spring surging', 'summer flooded', ‘spring flooded' and ‘slow drying'. The archetypes represent great heterogeneity, with flashy regimes being more prominent at higher latitudes and smoother regimes found preferentially in central and southern Sweden. Additionally, many archetypes show exceptional similarity in the timing and duration of flooding and drying events, which only became apparent when grouped. We attempt to link hydrological functions to the archetypes whereby headwater wetlands like the spring-surging archetype have the potential to accentuate floods and droughts, while slow-drying wetlands, typical of floodplain wetlands, are more likely to provide services such as flood attenuation and low flow supply. Additionally, although wetlands can be classified in myriad ways, we propose that classifying wetlands based on the hydrological regime is useful for identifying hydrological functions specific to the site and season. Lastly, we foresee that hydrological regime-based classification can be easily applied to other wetland-rich landscapes to understand the hydrological functions better and identify their respective ecosystem services.
Reviews and Syntheses: Trait-based approach to constrain controls on planktic foraminiferal ecology: key trade-offs and current knowledge gaps
Authors: Edgar Kirsty Marie , Grigoratou Maria , Monteiro Fanny , Barrett Ruby , Ying Rui , Schmidt Daniela
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Planktic foraminifera are a major contributor to marine inorganic carbon production. They leave abundant calcium carbonate shells on the sea floor, which serve as prime proxies for the physical and chemical attributes of past oceans. Despite a well-preserved fossil record and wide use in palaeoceanography, our understanding of their ecology is limited due to their low-standing stocks in the modern surface ocean and the challenges in culturing multiple generations under laboratory conditions, even after decades of data collection. This limitation affects our ability to use their fossil remains to describe past ecosystems and predict their responses to modern environmental changes. Trait-based ecology can be particularly useful at characterising how and why foraminifera might interact with their environment. Here, we review the state of knowledge of planktic foraminifera key traits, including morphological, physiological, behavioural and life history traits. Most spinose taxa are carnivorous, host to dinoflagellate photosymbionts, and are abundant and diverse in oligotrophic environments. In contrast, non-spinose taxa are typically herbivorous and most common in high-productivity regions. We highlight the potential of trait modelling to generate hypotheses testable in the field. We propose that trait modelling, metabarcoding, eDNA, and enhanced standardised data collection, released in open data, can help fill critical gaps in our understanding of planktic foraminiferal trait-based ecology and allow us to use foraminifera as a key model organism for ecological questions.
Exploring the Aerosol Activation Properties in a Coastal Area Using Cloud and Particle-resolving Models
Authors: Yu Ge , Wang Yueya , Wang Zhe , Shi Xiaoming
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Atmospheric aerosols significantly impact the global climate by affecting the Earth's radiative balance and cloud formation. However, conducting high-altitude aerosol observations is currently costly and challenging, leading to gaps in accurately assessing aerosol activation properties during cloud formation. In this study, the Cloud Model 1 (CM1) is employed to investigate the movement of air parcels under shallow convection conditions in a coastal area. Subsequently, the evolution of various aerosol populations in the ideal scenarios is simulated by the PartMC-MOSAIC model to investigate their activation properties. It is found that leaving the boundary layer and entering the free atmosphere causes environmental changes in the parcels, which in turn alter the aerosol evolution and the cloud-forming potential. The impact of ascent timing is notably manifested in the concentration of ammonium nitrate rather than other chemical constituents. The rapid formation of ammonium nitrate accelerates the aerosol aging process, thereby modifying the hygroscopicity of the population. The differences between the aerosol populations in the boundary layer and high altitudes highlight the necessity of vertical observations and numerical modeling. In addition, as supersaturation rises from 0.1 % to 1 %, the relative discrepancy in cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activation ratio between the particle-resolved results and the internal mixing assumption increases from 7 % to 30 %. This emphasizes the potential of appropriate mixing state parameterization in assessing aerosol activation properties. This study advances the understanding of aerosol hygroscopic changes under real weather conditions and offers insights into future modeling of aerosol-cloud microphysics.
Evaluation of regional climate features over Antarctica in the PMIP past1000 experiment and implications for 21st-century sea level rise
Authors: Charnay Vincent , Lowry Daniel P. , Keller Elizabeth D. , Sood Abha
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Surface mass balance (SMB) of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is an important contributor to global sea level change. Past climates provide an opportunity to evaluate model performance outside the range of recent observed climate variability. We look to the Last Millennium (850–1850 CE) as a period of relative climate stability to understand what processes control natural variability in SMB, distinct from anthropogenic warming. With evidence for large regional differences in climate trends from ice core proxy records, paleo-simulations need to be validated over long timescales to assess if they capture those regional variations. The drivers for such regional variations during the Last Millennium and present day remain uncertain, demonstrating the need for a regionally focused study. Here, we evaluate model performance by comparing available Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) past1000 models and the CESM Last Millennium Ensemble (CESM-LME) to four sets of Last Millennium Antarctic proxy-based reconstructions that are most relevant to the SMB: snow accumulation, surface air temperature (SAT), sea surface temperature (SST) and Niño 3.4 index, using a multi-parameter scoring method. Our results show that, overall, PMIP past1000 models reasonably capture SATs estimated in the proxy record, but show poor skill with respect to reconstructed regional snow accumulation means, trends and variability and the Niño 3.4 index. Models show some skill but a slight cold bias in simulating Southern Ocean SST. The overall best-scoring PMIP past1000 models for regional climate features of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are the CESM-LME mean and CSIRO-Mk3L-1-2. CESM-LME predicts higher SMB by 2100.

Abstract. There are great expectations about the detection and the quantification of NOx emissions using NO2 tropospheric columns from satellite observations and inverse systems. This study assesses the potential of the OMI-QA4ECV and TROPOMI satellite observations to improve the knowledge on European NOx emissions at the regional scale and to inform about the spatio-temporal variability of NOx anthropogenic emissions from 2005 to 2019, at the resolution of 0.5° over Europe. Starting from European emission estimates from the TNO-GHGco-v3 inventory for the year 2005, regional inversions using the Community Inversion Framework coupled to the CHIMERE chemistry-transport model and assimilating satellite NO2 tropospheric columns from OMI and TROPOMI have been performed to estimate the European annual and seasonal budgets for the year 2019. Both the OMI and TROPOMI inversions show decreases in European NOx anthropogenic emission budgets between 2005 and 2019 but the magnitude of the reductions differs with OMI and TROPOMI data (-16 % and -45 %, respectively). A TROPOMI in-version giving more weight to the satellite data becomes consistent with the independent TNO-GHGco-v3 inventory for the year 2019, with annual budgets for EU-27+UK showing absolute relative difference of only 4 %. These TROPOMI inversions are therefore in agreement with the magnitude of the decline in NOx emissions declared by countries, when aggregated at the European scale. However, our results —with OMI and TROPOMI data leading to different magnitudes of corrections on NOx anthropogenic emissions—suggest that more observational constraints would be required to sharpen the European emission estimates.
Underlying Policy Considerations for Assigning the Applicable Substantive Law in International Commercial Arbitration
Authors: Oppong Peprah Lawrencia
Published: December 2024

In international commercial arbitration, when the parties do not choose any law to govern the substance of their disputes, arbitrators are responsible for doing so. The inherent flexibility of the arbitrator’s discretion makes this task critical, as their decision can significantly impact the outcome of the arbitration. This article aims, to examine relevant policies that underlie an arbitrator’s choice of the applicable substantive law in the absence of the parties’ choice. It employs a comprehensive blend of secondary research and analytical methodologies, to identify and evaluate the nature of these policies, highlighting their possible extremes and, or irreconcilable elements. This article highlights the distinction between the direct and indirect methods used to assign the applicable substantive law and questions the practical application of these methods by arbitrators. It also explores relevant policies from three perspectives – a transnational perspective, a party perspective and a jurisprudential perspective. The findings suggest that specific, policy considerations influence the arbitrator’s decision-making process, regardless of the method employed to assign the applicable substantive. By understanding and assessing these policy considerations, arbitrators can make informed decisions when assigning the applicable substantive law in international commercial arbitration.

Authors: Sánchez Torres Yolanda , Nuñez Terrones Elvira , Ortiz Zarco Ruth , Terrones Cordero Aníbal
Published: December 2024

Introducción. La igualdad de género, es un derecho humano fundamental y esencial. A pesar del avance de la participación de la mujer en los ámbitos de la vida económica, política y social, se está a más de una centuria de lograr esa equidad. El objetivo esta investigación es presentar un análisis retro prospectivo de la participación de la mujer en la economía, particularmente en los negocios en México. Metodología. Se ha realizado una revisión teórica, normativa y estadística sobre la participación de la mujer en el ámbito laboral, de la educación y de los negocios, particularmente para México, en el marco de la agenda 2030. Resultados. En términos cuantitativos se puede percatar avances sustanciales en la educación e insipientemente en la brecha salarial y la doble carga de trabajo, pero en términos cualitativos la discriminación y exclusión sigue siendo poco perceptible. Esto se constata, en la participación laboral sectorial de la vida económica, vinculada con educación como antecedente y la brecha salarial como consecuencia. El ámbito de los negocios no presenta una realidad distinta, al seguir estando el hombre, al mando de los consejos administrativos, direcciones y propiedades de las empresas. El emprendimiento se ha tomado como alternativa para alcanzar el empoderamiento de la mujer en los negocios, sin embargo, su realidad se replica y con mayor intensidad de lo que vive como trabajadora.  En México, el escenario no es tan distinto, los cambios reales se ha dado en materia de educación y normativamente en la política, pero en el ámbito económico, aún se está lejos de disminuir sustancialmente la exclusión y discriminación de género. Conclusión. El ODS sobre la equidad de género será difícil de lograr, mientras persistan patrones socioculturales heredados de la doble carga y se adopten jornadas laborales extendidas en un marco de competencia.

Conciliación de la vida laboral y familiar: ¿asunto de políticas públicas?
Authors: Baeza Aldana Silvia Alejandra , Torre López Laura del Rosario
Published: December 2024

La realidad de las mujeres trabajadoras es un tema que reviste profundo interés en todo el mundo. La incorporación femenina en la esfera de trabajo ha incrementado el número de roles a desempeñar, pero no ha traído consigo, ni en la misma velocidad ni en la misma proporción, el reconocimiento a su propia labor, ni tampoco es equivalente al grado de participación de los hombres en la esfera doméstica. Entonces, ¿cómo es posible conseguir la armonización entre trabajo y familia? La clave es el desarrollo de políticas públicas conciliatorias que promuevan un verdadero equilibrio. En México, la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres está contemplada en la Constitución Política, no obstante, a pesar de esta consideración, en la práctica es evidente que continúan las desigualdades en los terrenos económico, social, laboral, jurídico y educativo.
En razón de lo anterior, el objetivo del presente trabajo consiste conocer a profundidad cuáles son las percepciones de las profesoras de una universidad pública del sureste de México, respecto a las políticas conciliatorias y cómo estas permiten encontrar un equilibrio real entre trabajo y familia.
Se utilizó un método mixto, con técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas que permitieron entender la complejidad de la problemática estudiada. El estudio se dividió en tres etapas en la que participaron un total de 89 profesoras provenientes de diversos campos disciplinares de la universidad estudiada.
Entre los resultados destaca que hay un desconocimiento significativo acerca de las políticas conciliatorias, tanto estatales como nacionales. En el plano institucional se observa una política no escrita encaminada al bienestar del personal en general, pero es evidente la ausencia de acciones declaradas de forma oficial orientadas en favor de la armonización entre trabajo y familia.

Published: December 2024

The goal of the work is to increase the yield of methane in biogas plants due to the joint methane fermentation of cattle manure with apple pomace. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved: the yield of biogas from cattle manure was determined with the addition of apple pomace to the substrate and fermentation in psychrophilic and mesophilic temperature conditions of the biogas plant. Based on the obtained experimental data of fermentation at temperatures of 22±1°C and 36±1°C of the fermenter, the biogas yield was assessed and the rational temperature regime for the operation of the biogas plant was determined. The studies were carried out on a laboratory biogas plant, consisting of a fermenter and a wet-type gasholder. A glass container with a total volume of 3 dm3 was used as a fermenter. The novelty of the chosen topic lies in the fact that the maximum methane output rate was determined under periodic loading of the fermenter, which for the psychrophilic temperature regime is 0.0033 m3/(kg DOM∙day), and in the mesophilic temperature regime mode 4 times more - 0.012 m3/(kg DOM∙day). The significance of the results lies in the fact that based on the results of the dynamics of methane output during periodic loading of the fermenter, it is possible to predict a constant methane output in industrial biogas plants that operate in a quasi-continuous mode, which will be equal to the maximum methane output during periodic loading of the fermenter.
Particulars of use of witness declarations in summary procedures
Authors: Pavel-Guzun Irina
Published: December 2024

The criminal process represents the activity of the criminal investigation bodies and of the courts with the participation of the parties in the trial and of other persons, carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure. It should be noted that in the criminal proceedings, the witness's statements play a particularly important role, whether the examination procedure is general or simplified. Witnesses are considered „ eyes and ears of justice” and this characterization is based both on the length of time of this means of proof, as well as the fact that he is almost indispensable in a criminal trial. For these reasons, it is necessary to clarify the more controversial issues related to this issue. The article below analyzes the particularities of the use of witness statements in summary procedures, examining: the notion of witness; managing the evidence with the witness; administration of the evidence with witnesses in the summary procedures; coinculpat statements.

Considerations on legal regulation of the on call employment contract
Authors: Sadovei Nicolae , Mihailov Tatiana
Published: December 2024

The on-call employment contract represents a distinctly atypical form of employment characterized by the fact that, in the employment contract concluded between the parties, typically, there is no clause specifying a minimum number of working hours that the employee would be obliged to work for and in favor of an employer, and therefore there is no correlative obligation to pay the salary by the employer. Such a contractual form finds its express regulation at the level of national legislations of the member states of the European Union, while each member state has its own regulatory specifics, which makes it possible to apply such a contractual form in practice in a distinct society.

Authors: Salleh Norhuda , Welly Emmylia Marry , Abdulla Noor Aziah , Harun Harryzman
Published: December 2024

The perceived importance of media literacy in health discussions has increased significantly. The critical understanding of information is crucial to this role as it has the potential to impact people’s overall well-being and shape individual and societal behaviors. Media literacy involves the ability to access, understand, interpret, and apply information conveyed through various media for the betterment of individuals and communities. However, obtaining health-related information in today’s context can be challenging due to technological advancements. While people may be aware of health issues, translating this awareness into practical behavioral changes for effective health management often remains inconsistent. This study investigates the media literacy level influencing health behavior practices among the Kota Belud community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through online surveys done on a random sampling of 375 respondents, the study reveals that media literacy directly influences 46.2% of health behaviors related to COVID-19. These behaviors include regular handwashing, mask-wearing, maintaining physical distance, and following recommended health guidelines. The findings show that public comprehension, practical application, and information transmission help match health behaviors with changing social norms.
Twitter and Fake News: Implications for National Security in Nigeria
Authors: N. B. Ezeaka,
Published: December 2024

The emergence of new social media platforms such as Twitter has revolutionized the means of communication and dissemination, providing unprecedented networking avenues for immediate news spread. But this ease has also increased the spread of fake news which is a concern faced by many nations including Nigeria. Fake news simply deceives, suppresses facts relevant to political life or spreads information intended only to harm, having a direct impact on national security. For Nigeria, a country rich in ethnic, religious and political prejudice, the effects of fake news can go as far as inciting violence, destroying the social fabric or even causing instability. This study investigated the prevalence, characteristics and consequences of fake news on Twitter during critical events in Nigeria, using a qualitative methodology to understand how false information is spread and what potential threat it poses to national security. The paper uses secondary data from the extant literature and Twitter-Archive for investigating how fake news spreads, consequently shaping public opinion, damaging social solidarity and threatening national security. It lists the top drivers of misinformation in Nigeria – including poor media literacy, political divisiveness and over-dependence on social media as sources of news. It also puts forward solutions to address the risks posed by this kind of content on Twitter, including government legislation, fact-checking mechanisms, media literacy initiatives and consumer take-backs. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between Twitter, fake news, and national security in Nigeria, highlighting the urgent need for proactive measures to protect the country’s stability and well-being.

Authors: T. A. Suleman,
Published: December 2024

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and other digital technologies (DTs) has often lacked a focus on human-centrism. Industry 5.0 emerged as a response to Industry 4.0’s digital revolution, emphasizing functional human-machine collaboration, sustainability, and resilience. However, the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) sector, particularly in Nigeria, has been slow to seize the opportunities presented by Industry 5.0. This study investigates the opportunities and challenges associated with deploying Industry 5.0, specifically focusing on architecture within the Nigerian construction industry (NCI). A rapid literature review was conducted, analyzing relevant and indexed articles from reputable databases. The findings indicate that integrating AI into architectural design workflows can catalyze the adoption of other DTs, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, digital twins, cloud computing, blockchain, and augmented/virtual reality. These technologies can potentially transform planning, operations, end-of-life management, and visualizations during the design phase of architectural services. The study emphasizes the importance of architectural professionals acquiring relevant technical skills through education and awareness initiatives. It also stresses the need for policies and programmes implemented by the government, regulatory agencies, and industry firms to accelerate the adoption of DTs. Effective strategies for leveraging AI’s potential are proposed to enhance design quality, speed, performance, and collaboration with allied design professionals. The findings offer valuable insights into adopting Architecture 5.0 within the NCI, particularly during the design stage.

This research aims to determine the implementation of culture-based character education in State Vocational Schools. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with data collection techniques, such as interview methods, field observations, and documentation studies. The research results show that SMK Negeri 1, and SMK Negeri 2 Muara Enim have a good strategy for realizing culture-based character education for their students through routine activities. These routine activities include implementing a culture of greetings, smiles, politeness, manners, and friendship between school members, character education values ​​are also provided during extracurricular activities as well as applying character values through habituation which is carried out every day at school. The obstacles are that teachers still have difficulty adjusting the character values ​​that will be given to students, parental cooperation that does not support the implementation of character education, and students are quite varied so it is quite difficult for teachers to understand students’ characters. Solutions implemented include conducting outreach between the school and parents of students, teachers making efforts to be more optimal and consistent in providing an understanding of character values ​​to students, guidance and counseling teachers, and homeroom teachers continuing to work together in instilling character values ​​in students, instill character values ​​through extracurricular activities.
AI-Enhanced Secure Mobile Banking System Utilizing Multi-Factor Authentication
Authors: Salman Mohd , Mishra Rahul Kumar
Published: December 2024

The increasing reliance on mobile banking has significantly heightened the need for robust security mechanisms to protect users from unauthorized access and fraudulent activities. As mobile banking continues to grow in popularity, safeguarding financial transactions and personal data becomes a top priority. This paper introduces an AI-enhanced secure mobile banking system that leverages Multi-Phase Authentication (MPA) to strengthen the authentication process. In this system, artificial intelligence is integrated with traditional authentication methods, creating a dynamic framework that assesses the risk level associated with each user interaction. Based on this real-time risk assessment, the system adjusts the authentication requirements, making them more stringent when higher risks are detected and more lenient when the risk is lower. This adaptive mechanism not only enhances the security of mobile banking by providing multiple layers of protection but also improves the user experience by reducing unnecessary authentication steps that can cause frustration and delay. The proposed system's effectiveness is validated through a series of simulations and case studies, which demonstrate significant improvements in key security metrics. These include a marked reduction in instances of fraud and lower false positive rates, which indicate that the system can accurately distinguish between legitimate and suspicious activities without imposing undue burden on users. Overall, the results of this study highlight the potential of AI-enhanced multi-phase authentication to provide a scalable and user-friendly solution for secure mobile banking. This approach represents a promising direction for the future of digital financial services, offering a balance between rigorous security and seamless user experience.

In this ruthless society, digital suppliers are noteworthy in building each organization to be productive and rich. Hence, choosing a reliable and well-grounded digital supplier becomes very necessary. The process of choosing digital suppliers is a multiple-criteria decision-making compliance. Digital suppliers are decided by considering some factors which improve the productivity of the suppliers. Digital suppliers’output is grounded on behalf of the digital suppliers’ criteria. Extra precaution is required to confirm these criteria. This paper looks at digital retail shopping in Iran, which includes the selection of the best digital supplier on applying MCDM strategies called SWARA as well as WASPAS in fuzzy surroundings where SWARA strategy is applicable to establishing the weightage of the factors and WSM, WPM and WASPAS strategies are applicable to establish the best as well as worst supplier and also the gratings of the suppliers in a probabilistic surrounding made by linguistic concepts by triangular fuzzy numbers deciding through resource persons. By applying SWARA methodology in a fuzzy environment, the implications of the findings demonstrate that the factor named high-quality certification contains the maximum weight and the factor named accountability contains the lowest weight. Applying WSM, WPM, and WASPAS also demonstrates that digital supplier 2 is the best and digital supplier 3 is the worst.
