Authors: Li Yujie , Liu Xuanguang , Zhang Zhenchao , Lang Jun
Published: January 2025

The gross primary productivity (GPP) of Shanxi Province, China, plays an important role in the carbon cycle of the Loess Plateau ecosystem. However, Shanxi Province lacks carbon flux stations, leading to imprecise GPP estimation results. Additionally, few studies have explored the drivers of long-term GPP change in Shanxi Province. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to estimate the GPP in Shanxi Province from 2001 to 2022 and determine the driving factors of long-term GPP trends. To this end, we proposed an improved GPP estimation method based on the CatBoost model. Our CatBoost GPP model reduces model overfitting in few-shot scenarios and effectively captures the time dependence in time-series data. In addition, it integrates the change characteristics of vegetation ecological indicators and topography constraints, improving GPP estimation accuracy. Subsequently, we explore the spatial and temporal variations driving force through Theil-Sen Median trend analysis, Geodetectors, et al. Results show that (1) Compared with existing methods, the proposed CatBoost GPP method achieved superior site-level accuracy with an R2 value of 0.888, Root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.162 gCm −2 ·day −1 , and mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.772 gCm −2 ·day −1. Furthermore, we compare our results with previous GPP products to further assess the regional-level accuracy; (2) The GPP in Shanxi Province displayed a fluctuating increase, with a growth rate of 20.58 gCm −2 ·yr −1 from 2001 to 2022. The overall spatial variation was characterized by low GPP in the northwest and high GPP in the southeast. The GPP change was mainly characterized by weak anti-persistence; thus, approximately 58.8% of the area may experience degradation in the future; and (3) Land use type significantly influenced GPP changes in Shanxi, with the restoration and improvement of grassland being the main contributor to the increase in GPP. The interaction between precipitation and temperature had the most complex and significant impact on GPP, affecting approximately 62.05% of the study area. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for ecological protection and sustainable development in Shanxi Province.

Published: January 2025

The high cost of living is a problem facing consumers in Cˆote d’Ivoire. This paper attempts to explain this high cost of living using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical ascending classification (HAC). The aim is also to achieve the best possible prediction of the consumer price index (CPI) using multiple linear regression, and then to find the determinants involved in its explanation. The PCA and HAC methods have revealed three clusters. Cluster1: January 1997 to January 2003; cluster2: February 2003 to October 2012 and cluster3: November 2012 to December 2023. Compared with clusters 1 and 3, the CPI increased by an average of 53.074%. Consequently, the real value of 100000 FCFA is now 65326.971 FCFA. The high cost of living began in February 2003. It has intensified since December 2012. The relationships between the indices were studied. It was concluded that there is a strong correlation and also multicollinearity between them. A model was built to predict the CPI. In long term, the indices to be taken into account are the Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas and Other Fuels (HWE) and, Food and non-alcoholic beverages. In short term, the HWE and, Restaurants and Hotels indices. An interpretable model with the sub-indices was constructed using principal component regression. It revealed that all the sub-indices are positively correlated with the CPI. This means that a positive variation in one of them will lead to an increase in this index.

Published: January 2025

Fatty acyl-CoA reductase (FAR) proteins play a crucial role in plant growth and development. Previous studies on FAR proteins primarily focused on their involvement in the synthesis of suberin and waxes, while limited attention has been given to their roles in biotic and abiotic stress responses. In this study, 31 FAR genes were identified across Gossypium arboreum, G. raimondii, G. hirsutum, and G. barbadense. Bioinformatics analyses revealed that cotton FAR genes cluster into three distinct groups, with conserved motifs, exon-coding sequences, and domains among genes within the same group. Promoter analysis identified numerous cis-acting elements associated with plant hormone regulation in GhFAR genes, highlighting their regulatory potential. Gene family expansion was predominantly driven by whole-genome duplication events. Expression profiling demonstrated that FAR genes are expressed in various cotton tissues, with most showing reduced expression under abiotic stresses but significantly increased expression following Verticillium dahliae infection. Functional analysis using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) of GhFAR3 revealed that its silencing compromises disease resistance by reducing suberin accumulation in roots. This study provides a comprehensive genome-wide identification and characterization of FAR genes in cotton, emphasizing their potential biological functions. Furthermore, it establishes GhFAR3 as a key player in enhancing cotton resistance to V. dahliae, mediated through suberin biosynthesis in roots.
Giant Dentigerous Cyst in a Child Treated with Minimally Modified Invasive Marsupialization and Decompression: A Case Report with 30 months Follow-up
Authors: Li Wenlong , Sun Shukai , Wang Mingjun , Xue Xin , Yang Lu , Yang Fengjiao , Zhang Tianyu , Wu Li-an
Published: January 2025

Background
Dentigerous cysts are a type of inflammatory odontogenic cyst that arises from tissues surrounding an unerupted or impacted tooth. If left untreated, they can grow into a substantial size, resulting in cortical expansion and facial asymmetry. It can cause the roots of the affected teeth to be absorbed, affecting the stability of the teeth and resulting in tooth loosening and displacement. In severe cases, the teeth may fall out. In addition, if the cyst becomes infected, there will be obvious pain and swelling in the local area, and even fistulas may form with pus flowing out, causing pain to patients. For the treatment of dentigerous cysts, enucleation is typically indicated for dentigerous cysts involving fewer than two teeth. Dentigerous cysts involving more than two teeth usually require marsupialization and decompression. In recent years, some researchers have attempted minimally invasive treatment, but it is difficult for roots that have completed development and have a large inclination angle to spontaneously sprout. However, for children, owing to their potential for growth and development, the treatment methods are not exactly the same as those for adults.
Case presentation
we present a case of a 12-year-old girl with a 33.1 mm *20.3 mm * 33.6 mm dentigerous cyst in the mandibular second premolar region. The 35 tooth roots were fully developed and horizontally impacted, with the highest point being lower than the neck of the adjacent tooth. Given that the child was still in the mixed dentition stage, a marsupialization and drainage procedure, i.e., extraction of 75, was performed. Surprisingly, it aligned naturally into the dental arch at 2.5-year follow-up.
Conclusions
We provide a new method for the minimally invasive treatment of large dentigerous cysts in children.In adolescents with dentigerous cysts, even if the area of the dentigerous cysts is large, the root of the inherited permanent tooth is fully developed, and the inclination angle of the tooth is large, it is still possible to make it naturally erupt through marsupialization and decompression.

Authors: Dölek Ishak , Kurt Atakan
Published: January 2025

Ottoman-Turkish transliteration is a relatively new problem. To make a vast amount of historical documents, books, newspapers, and magazines accessible to a wider audience unfamiliar with the Ottoman script, it is necessary to transliterate the Ottoman script into the Latin-based Turkish script. This study employs traditional NLP techniques to develop a dictionary-based Ottoman-Turkish transliteration system. Using a dataset of 2403 sentences and 31K words, we achieved a Word Error Rate (WER) of 20.69% (raw), 6.31% (normalized) and a Character Error Rate (CER) of 6.46% (raw) 3.01% (normalized), resulting in a BLEU score of 51.90 (raw) 77.18 (normalized). The results show that the proposed system has a promising performance for Ottoman-Turkish transliteration.

Authors: Zehforoush Salar , Jahandideh Alireza , Alinaghizadeh MohammadMahdi , Karimi Hamed
Published: January 2025

Background:Intra-abdominal adhesions frequently arise as a complication following abdominal surgeries. These adhesions lead to internal scarring as a result of damage to abdominal organs, including the peritoneum.
Purpose:This research explores the effects of a Nano-formulated version of tranexamic acid on intra-abdominal adhesions in rats, utilizing both microscopic and macroscopic analysis.
Methods: A total of thirty adult male Wistar rats (weighing between 300 and 350 grams) were randomly divided into three treatment groups: a control group, a group receiving Nano-drug tranexamic acid (50 mg/kg), and a group receiving standard tranexamic acid (50 mg/kg). Anesthesia was administered via intramuscular injections of 10% ketamine (50 mg/kg) and 2% xylazine (5 mg/kg) as per established guidelines. Adhesion was induced in all subjects by making incisions in the abdominal wall. On days 14 and 28 post-surgery, all rats underwent a second laparotomy, during which the extent of intra-abdominal adhesions was evaluated through both macroscopic and microscopic inspections.
Results:The macroscopic evaluation indicated a marked reduction in the formation of adhesion bands within both the Nano-drug and standard drug treatment groups when compared to the control group (P<0.05). The Nano-drug treatment group exhibited the least amount of adhesion, whereas the control group showed the greatest incidence. Microscopic examination of pathological slides from the adhesion sites revealed that levels of inflammation and fibrotic tissue development were significantly reduced in both treatment groups versus the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusions:The Nano-drug group exhibited the lowest levels of inflammation and fibrotic tissue, while the highest levels were recorded in the control group.
A Combinatorial Lower Bound of the Storage Cost of Shared Memory Emulation
Authors: Shi Yusong , Liu Weidong
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to obtain a lower bound of the storage cost of emulating an atomic shared memory over an asynchronous distributed message passing system using topological techniques. Previous literature has developed several shared memory emulation algorithms based on replication and erasure coding techniques. A common insight that applies to all the algorithms is that the worst-case storage cost of implementing an atomic shared memory object grows with the number of concurrent active writes. A natural question is whether the growth of storage complexity is intrinsic to any algorithm that implements an atomic shared-memory object. It was known that the storage cost cannot be lower than $\frac{N}{N - f}log_{2}|V|$ using the classic coding theoretic result. Previous literature gives a result approximately twice as strong as $\frac{N}{N - f}log_{2}|V|$, and partially answers this question in the positive when the write protocol has certain restrictions. We develop a lower bound using combinatorial techniques to answer this question without restrictions on the algorithm. Our topological structure provides a modeling of the client-server architecture which is widely used in modern distributed systems.
Thermodynamics and structure of 2D aliphatic alcohol monolayers on graphene within quantum chemical approach
Authors: Kartashynska E. S.
Published: January 2025

The study reports results from the quantum chemical assessment of the spontaneous monolayer formation of fatty alcohols CnH2n+1ОН (n = 6 − 14) at the graphene-like surface modeled by polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) within the PM6-DH2 method. Unlike monolayers of alkanes, lamellae of alcohols on graphene form a herringbone pattern due to the presence of hydrogen O∙∙∙H–O bonds between the hydroxyl groups of two interacting surfactant molecules belonging to neighboring lamellae. Calculations of the thermodynamic parameters of binding for alcohol monomers and dimers with tricircumcoronene have shown that the intermolecular interactions of the terminal fragments of surfactants make a destabilizing contribution to the Gibbs energy of the alcohol association during the formation of a monolayer on a graphene surface. However, C–H∙∙∙π interactions between CH2 fragments of the alcohol chain and condensed PAH rings are stabilizing, contributing − 4.77 kJ/mol. Their significant advantage is partially countervailed by the formation of energetically unfavorable CH∙∙∙HC interactions of the “e” type between the hydrocarbon chains of interacting alcohol molecules. It results in existence of a threshold length of the alcohol chain, starting from which these compounds are capable of crystalline monolayer formation on graphene-like surfaces. Spontaneous film formation of n-alcohols on graphene at 298 K is possible for surfactants possessing no less that10 carbon atoms in the chain. An increase in the chain length of alcohols by one methylene fragment is equivalent to an increase in the temperature of the film formation in the range from 6 to 22 ° C for alcohols from pentanol to octadecanol, following experimental data.

BACKGROUND
Telomere biology is pivotal in the development of malignant tumors, notably colorectal cancer (CRC), which is a gastrointestinal malignancies. Yet, the causal link between CRC and telomere length (TL) remains elusive
AIM
This study employs bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis to probe the causal relationship between CRC and genetically determined TL.
METHODS
Instrumental variables were selected from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and colorectal cancer (CRC) in European populations. Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) with inverse variance weighting (IVW) was employed as the primary method. Sensitivity analyses, MR-Egger regression, and MR-pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) were used to evaluate pleiotropy. Bioinformatics was utilized to investigate genetic variants, key genes, pathways, and protein interactions.
RESULTS
Genetically determined longer telomeres were linked to increased CRC risk ((common effect model (IVW): odds ratio [OR] = 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07 to 1.25, random effects model (IVW): [OR] = 1.16, 95% [CI]: 1.06 to 1.27). Sensitivity analyses corroborated findings. GO enrichment indicated enrichment in telomere maintenance, DNA repair, and protein binding. KEGG analysis highlighted pathways such as Pyrimidine metabolism and RNA degradation.
CONCLUSION
PARP1, TREF1, TREF2, TRET, STN1 and HSPA4 are considered key genes related to the length of long telomeres, which are associated with the development of CRC. TL significant in the Etiology of CRC.

The Indonesian government encourages vertical housing development to meet housing needs, especially in urban areas. It is a national programme that steadily increases in number and affects the environment. Hence, the development of sustainable principles needs to be carried out. However, implementing a green building concept to vertical housing construction in Indonesia is not mandatory, is relatively more expensive than conventional projects and can negatively affect the environment. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the drivers for implementing the green building concept in vertical housing in Indonesia. A mixed-method approach was selected. Based on literature studies, an open questionnaire was distributed to 76 respondents from the green community, including regulators (government), architects, engineers and academics. To analyse the data, content analysis, distribution analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used. The result showed that “Saving” (34.6%), “Generating a positive environmental impact” (26.9%), “Improving the quality of residents’ lives” (19.2%), “Optimising building performance” (10%) and “Mitigating carbon emissions” (9.2%) were the drivers for implementing green building concept from the respondents. The details of this concept that needed to be implemented included site management, energy efficiency and conservation, wastewater management, waste management, water efficiency and conservation, material sources and cycles, continued green efforts, and indoor health and comfort. This research offers insight for policymakers and practitioners navigating sustainable development in vertical housing construction in Indonesia.

Desafios legislativos e a distopia do petróleo: Debate sobre a viabilidade jurídica da aplicação das rendas petrolíferas na universalização do saneamento básico
Authors: Júnio dos Santos Valdir , Rodrigues André Guedes
Published: January 2025

Este artigo possui como pano de fundo o debate da trilogia estrutural do processo de desenvolvimento dos territórios petrorrentistas: rendas do petróleo, políticas intergeracionais e defesa dos direitos fundamentais. Portanto, o artigo busca analisar e debater a viabilidade jurídica da aplicação de partes dos recursos provenientes das rendas petrolíferas (royalties e participações especiais) obtidos pelos estados e municípios para a concretização de um direito fundamental como a universalização do saneamento básico, previsto na Lei nº 14.026/2020. A universalização do saneamento básico será compreendida como um direito fundamental e elementar para estruturar uma proposta holística de desenvolvimento de longo prazo. Para tanto, utilizou-se o método de análise de conteúdo dos debates legislativos travados em torno do tema das rendas petrolíferas com foco em sua distribuição e utilização. Os resultados mostram que existe viabilidade jurídica (técnica) na utilização desses recursos para assegurar direitos fundamentais, como a universalização do saneamento básico, mas os gargalos interpostos pelos interesses econômicos e políticos dificultam a implementação de políticas intergeracionais, criando uma verdadeira distopia entre vultosos recursos e o desenvolvimento desses territórios. Desse modo, será importante estruturar modelos de governança mais participativos de forma a fortalecer os mecanismos de controle e de destinação desses recursos para setores fundamentais do desenvolvimento territorial de longo prazo.
Contesting the Non-Muslim Existence In a Democratic State: A Trajectory to Hack Majority-Minority Relations In Indonesia
Authors: Ubaidillah Muchamad Faiz
Published: January 2025

The outbreak of inter-religious conflict today is mostly caused by unequal majority-minority relations, especially in the context of a democratic state—Indonesia. Therefore, it is necessary to reconcile and integrate the Islamic paradigm with the democratic system, especially in a country dominated by one religion. In this article, the author analyzes the social friction between the majority and minority with an intertextuality approach between classical Sunni literature and the development of modern democratic discourse. The author finds that the tradition of Sunni classical fiqh literature was born from scholars who used to live under the auspices of religious states that still considered non-Muslims as second-class citizens. In addition, this article reviews the concepts of state religion and state democracy and the social conflicts that may occur in them. Finally, the author tries to provide an alternative way to integrate the Islamic paradigm and the concept of citizenship and secularization efforts in the form of separation between religious identity and identity as a citizen for better democratic state conduct.
Pathways to Healing: Forgiveness and Spiritual Growth for Domestic Violence Survivors in Islam
Authors: Salama Nadiatus
Published: January 2025

Forgiveness plays a crucial role in the psychological recovery of domestic violence (DV) survivors, and within the framework of Islamic teachings, it is seen as a means of attaining inner peace and spiritual healing. This study explores the role of forgiveness in the psychological and spiritual healing of domestic violence (DV) survivors within an Islamic framework. Employing a qualitative case study approach through in-depth interviews, semi-structured interviews, and observations with a single female DV survivor in Solo, Indonesia, to gain insights into the complex, non-linear journey of forgiveness. This study investigates the forgiveness process that aligns with Islamic principles of mercy (rahmah), patience (sabr), and divine justice. The findings reveal that the process of forgiveness is complex, non-linear, and influenced by various dynamics, including feedback and feed-forward loops, with survivors revisiting earlier stages. This process is often unpredictable, with survivors revisiting previous stages they thought were overcome, accompanied by changes in attitude. Victims' motivation to forgive is frequently influenced by a desire to accept the situation sincerely, often aligned with religious teachings. Additionally, releasing negative emotions is a significant driving force in the forgiveness process. Social support from family, community, and religious institutions is crucial in encouraging victims to engage in forgiveness, providing the necessary encouragement and understanding to navigate this challenging journey. The study underscores the importance of integrating religious guidance with psychological support, highlighting the significant psychological benefits of forgiveness for DV survivors, including improved emotional well-being and interpersonal relationships.

Pembangunan infrastruktur perdesaan tidak hanya berorientasi pada dana desa, lebih dari itu diperlukan dukungan dari masyarakat. Masyarakat selaku aktor utama dalam pembangunan yang harus dilibatkan, baik itu dalam proses perencanaan, pelaksanaan, evaluasi, maupun pengambilan keputusan. Dalam konteks pengambilan keputusan, modal sosial yang baik diperlukan. Modal sosial menjadi modal tidak berwujud yang mendorong keterlibatan masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi. Adapun pada penelitian ini berlokasi di Desa Kuniran, Kecamatan Purwosari, Kabupaten Bojonegoro. Desa ini setiap tahunya melakukan pembangunan infrastruktur dari Dana Desa (DD), namun masih terdapat masyarakat yang kurang mendukung pembangunan ini. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini mengkaji modal sosial dan partisipasi masyarakat dalam tahap pengambilan keputusan. Sampel penelitian ini adalah masyarakat yang tinggal di Dusun Kuniran dan Dusun Besulu dengan jumlah 90 KK. Analisis SEM-PLS digunakan untuk menganalisis keterkaitan atau pengaruh modal sosial dan partisipasi. Hasil utama menunjukkan bahwa modal sosial berpengaruh terhadap partisipasi masyarakat sebesar 49.7%. Keinginan masyarakat untuk bekerja sama, mengambil bagian dalam pembangunan desa, dan menghadiri pertemuan dengan membawa rekomendasi merupakan indikasi dari hasil-hasil tersebut. Masyarakat menghadiri rapat RKPDes di Desa dan memberikan usulan pembangunan infrastruktur, yang berarti masyarakat ikut serta dalam pengambilan keputusan, berkat potensi modal sosial tersebut. Secara keseluruhan hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan modal sosial akan meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan dukungan pemerintah dalam bentuk program yang dapat memperkuat modal sosial serta meningkatkan kolaborasi dan partisipasi masyarakat. Sehingga diharapkan pemerintah menetapkan kebijakan yang sesuai dengan kondisi dan kebutuhan masyarakat agar pembangunan infrastruktur desa berkelanjutan.

Studying the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors makes it possible to assess the susceptibility of the uterine mucosa to implantation and to identify the causes of menstrual cycle dysfunction.
           The aim. Іncreasing the effectiveness of the study of the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors of the endometrium depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle in patients with infertility and post-COVID syndrome.         
            Materials and methods. During 2021-2024, a scientific study was conducted, which included a total of 120 patients. Of them, the experimental group consisted of 80 women, and the control group - 40 women. The main criterion for inclusion in the research group was the presence of a documented post-COVID syndrome. The criterion for inclusion in the control group was the absence of a history of COVID-19. Also, the requirements for inclusion in both cohorts were: diagnosed infertility, the cause of which is a female factor, reproductive age, and informed consent signed by the patient to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria from both samples included the detection of the human immunodeficiency virus, viral hepatitis, and other sexually transmitted infections, as well as - tuberculosis of the genitourinary system, malignant neoplasms, mental disorders that cause the impossibility of establishing communication and functional capacity of the person. To study the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors, after an office hysteroscopy with a biopsy of the visually most changed areas of the endometrium in the middle phase of the proliferative stage and in the middle phase of the secretory stage (of different menstrual cycles), an immunohistochemical study with antibodies to these receptors was performed.
           The results. A significant difference between the groups was found in the middle stage of the secretory phase; namely, the reactivity of ERɑ in the stromal cells in the experimental group was reduced in 26 cases (32.5%), and 4 cases (10.0%) in the control group and the predominant amount was 3 points (p=0.007). Also, a significant difference was established between the cohorts in the middle stage of the secretory phase regarding PR reactivity in the epithelial cells of the glands: in the experimental group, it was reduced in 20 cases (25.0%), and in the control group in 2 cases (5.0%) and was 3 points, which corresponded to a weak reaction according to the expression calculation scale used (р=0.006).
         Conclusions. In women with infertility and post-COVID syndrome, a decrease in the expression of estrogen receptor-ɑ in the stromal component and progesterone receptor in the epithelium of the glands was noted in the middle stage of the secretory phase by immunohistochemical examination of endometrial samples.

Ecological footprint represents a degradation in this paper. The findings showed an insignificant relationship between renewable energy and ecological footprint in Zimbabwe. This study employs the ARDL technique. This study employs time series data from 1990-2021. This study uses the ARDL framework to get robust results. The ARDL bound test and ECM are employed to find the short-run and long-run coefficients of the model. The significant findings of the results show that RE, NRE, GDP, and natural resources (NR) are not significant in the long run but in the short run, GDP, NRE, and NR negatively impact the ecological footprint (EFP), while RE promotes or improves the ecological footprint. The results show a negative correlation between energy poverty and ecological footprint. Zimbabwe should work towards promoting RE energy as an alternative energy source and should revise its policies to attract more investment.

Background

In this study, we evaluate the accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of large language models in extracting and structuring information from free-text clinical reports, particularly in identifying and classifying patient comorbidities within oncology electronic health records. We specifically compare the performance of gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 and gpt-4-1106-preview models against that of specialized human evaluators.

Objective

We specifically compare the performance of gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 and gpt-4-1106-preview models against that of specialized human evaluators.

Methods

We implemented a script using the OpenAI application programming interface to extract structured information in JavaScript object notation format from comorbidities reported in 250 personal history reports. These reports were manually reviewed in batches of 50 by 5 specialists in radiation oncology. We compared the results using metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy, F-value, κ index, and the McNemar test, in addition to examining the common causes of errors in both humans and generative pretrained transformer (GPT) models.

Results

The GPT-3.5 model exhibited slightly lower performance compared to physicians across all metrics, though the differences were not statistically significant (McNemar test, P=.79). GPT-4 demonstrated clear superiority in several key metrics (McNemar test, P<.001). Notably, it achieved a sensitivity of 96.8%, compared to 88.2% for GPT-3.5 and 88.8% for physicians. However, physicians marginally outperformed GPT-4 in precision (97.7% vs 96.8%). GPT-4 showed greater consistency, replicating the exact same results in 76% of the reports across 10 repeated analyses, compared to 59% for GPT-3.5, indicating more stable and reliable performance. Physicians were more likely to miss explicit comorbidities, while the GPT models more frequently inferred nonexplicit comorbidities, sometimes correctly, though this also resulted in more false positives.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates that, with well-designed prompts, the large language models examined can match or even surpass medical specialists in extracting information from complex clinical reports. Their superior efficiency in time and costs, along with easy integration with databases, makes them a valuable tool for large-scale data mining and real-world evidence generation.

This study investigates how modern payment options, pay-later, e-wallets, and COD affect online shopping behavior, specifically on impulsive purchases and the feeling of regret after spending, known as the pain of payment. While numerous studies have individually assessed the impact of these payment modalities, there was a paucity of research examining the combined effect of these three contemporary payment methods within experimental frameworks. This study also examines whether buying groceries or fashion items influences these behaviors. The research involved 162 consumers divided into 6 groups based on the type of payment method (pay-later, e-wallet, cash-on-delivery) and type of products (grocery and fashion). The study found that the chosen payment method has no significant impact on impulsive buying behavior. However, customers are more likely to purchase fashion items impulsively than groceries. The pay-later option, especially for fashion items, led to the most impulsive buying and the strongest feeling of payment regret. On the other hand, using COD for fashion items was the least popular, and e-wallets generally led to lower overall spending. The study also found that people spend more time shopping for groceries than fashion. Both thought processes and emotions influenced the decision to buy. Interestingly, paying with COD helped improve self-control and reduce negative feelings. Based on the control theory of self-regulation, this research provides insights into managing spending and achieving customer financial goals, highlighting the connection between payment options, impulsive buying, and consumer well-being.
Ex-Military Commissioners and Firm Performance: The Case of Indonesia Manufacturing Companies
Authors: Natalia Irene , Isnalita Isnalita
Published: January 2025

This investigation relates to the new corporate governance (CG) suggestions that using ex-military commissioners can lead to better firm performance. Quantitative analysis was used to analyze the sample of manufacturing sector public companies. The data comprised 906 firm-years (from 2016 to 2021). This study shows that companies whose CG practices involve employing ex-military officers exhibit high firm performance levels. This study emphasizes the value of using a configurational analytical approach to explore firm jointly- and country-specific CG practices that engage firms to achieve the necessary level of performance. The current study calls policymakers’ attention to evalu- ating the current state of regulatory and competitive development in their countries and establishing policies in line with that assessment. The methodology provides connec- tions between firm performance and CG with retired military commissioners. This study broadens the focus of CG studies to provide effective solutions for practitioners, especially Indonesian manufacturing firms. It also highlights the importance of ex-military commis- sioners in a particular company sector and CG procedures specific to a particular nation. It encourages enterprises to reach the desired level of performance. The research impli- cation relates to good governance in board diversity using ex-military as independent commissioners for supervisory roles.

Tuna resources have an important economic value and are spread across most of Indonesian waters, ranging from western Indonesian waters to eastern Indonesian waters. One of the distribution of tuna fish in Indonesia is East Java Province. Tuna fishing business is an economic activity carried out by small-scale fishermen by combining resources such as fishing costs, fishing experience, frequency of fishing, ship tonnage, engine power, and the amount of fuel used for fishing) to achieve the main goal of making a profit. This research is important to determine the factors that affect the productivity of tuna fishing business, analyse the allocative efficiency of the factors of production of tuna fishing business, and analyse the profits obtained by fishermen in their business of catching tuna in the waters of Prigi south of East Java. The research method used is descriptive through observation interviews and documentation. This research was conducted on tuna fish fishermen on the coast of Prigi, East Java Regency. The results showed that the conclusion of the factors that affect the productivity of tuna fishing business are fishing costs, fishing experience, frequency of fishing and ship tonnage. The use of fishing costs, frequency of fishing, and ship tonnage used by fishermen still has not reached the allocatively efficient level. The average production cost per year incurred is still relatively high, not proportional to the profit earned each year. This is because the biggest cost incurred is the cost of diesel fuel.
