Physiological mechanisms of exercise related to prevention and treatment of breast cancer: A review
Authors: Koushkie Jahromi Maryam , Dehghani Ahmadreza , Ghasemi Mohammadhosein
Published: August 2024

Background: Considering limitations related to intensity, duration, and mode of exercise and possible physiological mechanisms, this study aimed to summarize the physiological mechanisms emphasizing inflammation, angiogenesis, and immunology of different exercises related to prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
Methods: In the current review study, different platforms were analyzed including PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Research Gate as well as Iranian databases such as Scientific Information Database (SID) and Magiran. The data was reviewed until May 2024. Search keywords included “exercise", "sport”, “physical exercise”, “intensity, training”, “breast cancer”, “inflammation”, “angiogenesis”,” immunology”, and “physiological mechanisms”.
Results:  Among several proposed mechanisms, inflammation, immunity and angiogenesis have been mentioned as important indices but there are ambiguities regarding the influence of different intensities and durations of exercise on breast cancer prevention and treatment. Other effective factors such as the effect of exercise on gene regulation and some other mechanisms have been proposed as possible mediators.
Conclusion: According to some previous studies, aerobic exercise induces positive effects on preventing and treating breast cancer through reducing inflammation, improving angiogenesis, and enhancing immunological mechanisms. Regarding duration and intensity, long term regular exercise (>8 weeks), in the form of aerobic and especially high intensity interval training (HIIT) reduces inflammation. while the effect of short-term exercise training is not clear yet and high intensity exercise may induce suppressing effects on the immune system. Therefore, the effect of intensity and duration of exercise on physiological mechanisms must be clarified.

Authors: Noguchi Masakuni , Inokuchi Masafumi , Morioka Emi , Haba Yusuke , Shioya Akihiro , Yamada Sohsuke , Iida Yasuo
Published: August 2024

Background: In the era of Z-0011, it is mandatory to decrease not only the false negative rate (FNR) of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy but also the risk of residual metastatic nodes after SLN biopsy.
Method: SLN biopsy with intraoperative nodal palpation (INP) was performed in patients with clinically node-negative (cN0) breast cancer. All identified blue and hot nodes were removed as blue/hot SLNs, and any suspicious palpable nodes were removed as palpable SLNs. Nodes that were incidentally removed with neighboring the blue/hot SLNs were classified as para-SLNs. Patients with positive SLNs on frozen section underwent axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) except for patients who met the Z-0011 and AMAROS criteria for exemption.
Results: Palpable SLNs and para-SLNs were identified in 202 patients. Of 200 patients, excluding 2 patients only with palpable SLNs, 46 patients had involvements of blue/hot SLNs, and 14 had palpable and para-SLNs harboring additional metastasis. When false negative rate (FNR) was calculated based on blue/hot SLNs and palpable SLNs, the additional use of INP resulted in a FNR of 45.2%. Subsequently, ALND was performed in 43 patients with positive blue/hot or palpable SLNs. Residual nodal involvement was found in 28 (65%) of 43 patients after removing blue/hot SLNs. However, after removing palpable SLNs, the rate of residual nodal metastases significantly decreased from 65% (28/43) to 36% (13/36) (p=0.0133).
Conclusion: INP decreased both the FNR of SLN biopsy and the risk of residual metastatic nodes after SLN biopsy.

Authors: Kelesoglu Osman , Fontaine Rodrigue Ancelot Harvey , Sharofiddin Ashurov
Published: August 2024

This systematic review of 55 empirical studies explores the relationship between personal resources and work engagement in various work environments. Its contribution is threefold: first, to identify the constructs that illustrate the ability of personal resources; second, to analyse current methods for studying personal resources and highlighting their limitations in theoretical generalisation; and third, to examine the role of personal resources to influence work engagement. The review identifies notable gaps in existing research and offers valuable perspectives to promote employee engagement in different professional settings. Findings highlight the need for cultural and sector-specific research to understand diverse responses to job demands and resources. It suggests the integration of emerging constructs like growth mindset and emotional intelligence into these models and emphasises the need for a more varied methodological approach, including longitudinal and qualitative studies. Additionally, it highlights the need to explore the impact of social, cultural, and technological factors in this relationship. An implication from this study is that organisations can improve job satisfaction, reduce turnover intentions, and enhance overall performance by creating a supportive environment that encourages personal resources. This can be achieved through offering training and development programmes, fostering a positive work culture, and ensuring a balance between job demands and resources.

Economic growth is very important in economic development, which is interpreted as one measure of the success of a country's economy. An economy is said to experience change if the level of economic activity is higher than that achieved from the previous period. In addition, the empowerment of human resources will also have an impact on the economic conditions of a region. Fulfillment of basic human rights, women and men have the same degree and rights. This study aims to analyze the effect of Women's Education (X1), and Women's Participation as Professional Workforce (X2), on Economic Growth (Y) in North Sumatra. This type of research uses quantitative descriptive research. The data processed is published data from the Central Bureau of Statistics in the form of Women's School Participation Rates, Women's Participation Rates as Professional Workers, and GRDP for 2017-2021. The analytical method used in this study is the panel data regression method. Meanwhile, hypothesis testing uses the F test to test variables simultaneously, the T test to test variables partially with a significance level <0.05, and the Coefficient of Determination (R2) to explain how much the proportion of variation in the independent variables can explain the dependent variable. From the test results in this study it is known that partially Women's Education has a positive and significant influence, Women as Professional Workforce has a negative and insignificant effect. Meanwhile, simultaneously the education of women and women as professional workers has a significant influence on economic growth in North Sumatra.

Recent efforts in a range of scientific fields have emphasised research and methods concerning individual differences and individualisation. This article brings together various scientific disciplines—ecology, evolution, and animal behaviour; medicine and psychiatry; public health and sport/exercise science; sociology; psychology; economics and management science—and presents their research on individualisation. We then clarify the concept of individualisation as it appears in the disciplinary casework by distinguishing three kinds of individualisation studied in and across these disciplines: IndividualisationONE as creating/changing individual differences (the process that generates differences between individuals: intrapopulation or intraspecific variation/heterogeneity); IndividualisationTWO as individualising applications (the tailoring or customising of something—information, treatment, a product or service, etc.—for an individual or specific group of individuals); and IndividualisationTHREE as social changes influencing autonomy, risk, and responsibilities (the process discussed under the rubric of sociological individualisation theory). Moreover, we analyse conceptual links between individualisation and individuality, and characterise different sorts of individuality that the disciplines study. This paper aims to promote interdisciplinary research concerning individualisation by establishing a common conceptual-theoretical basis, while leaving room for disciplinary differences.

Authors: Ogala Justin Onyarin , Okeoghene Ohoriemu Blessing
Published: August 2024

Over the years, Nigerian students have consistently performed poorly in mathematics. The West African Examination Council (WAEC) reports a steady decline in math performance among examinees outside the school system. Research papers and Chief Examiners' Reports have highlighted that students struggle with certain math tasks, indicating general deficiencies in mathematical skills. This research aimed to investigate the impact of computer simulation on students' retention of algebraic mathematics. The study was guided by two research questions and two hypotheses. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving fifty-four students from two different schools. Each school had two junior secondary streams, with experimental and control groups assigned randomly. The lessons were conducted by the students' regular math teachers, who also served as research assistants. The Algebra Achievement Test (AAT) was used to measure retention, with a reliability coefficient 0.98. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, with a significance level set at 0.05. The results revealed no statistically significant differences in the mean retention scores of male and female students who received algebra instruction through computer simulation.
Utilising AI-powered Chatbots for Learning Endangered Nigerian Languages and Considerations for Their Development
Authors: Aremu Abdulahi Olarewaju
Published: August 2024

Younger generations in Nigeria increasingly use English over their native languages, leading to a decline in indigenous language use in public and professional settings and risking language loss. Consequently, this study explores the potential of AI-powered chatbots in aiding the learning of endangered Nigerian languages. The objectives are to determine how chatbots can support language learning, identify the essential functionalities required for effective learning, and outline design considerations to address the specific challenges faced by these languages. The research employs a qualitative approach, using secondary data from existing literature on language revitalisation, AI chatbots, and Nigerian languages. The analysis reveals that AI chatbots can significantly enhance language learning through features such as handling tonal distinctions and syntactic operations present or allowed in the languages, providing feedback, and engaging learners. Practical design considerations for developers include integrating these functionalities to create effective language-learning tools. These findings suggest that integrating AI technology into language preservation efforts can offer an innovative solution to revitalise endangered Nigerian languages and ensure their continued use among future generations.

Authors: Tumiran Mohd Amzari
Published: August 2024

The Low-Carbon Cities (LCC) strategy guides cities in their efforts to transition towards an environmentally friendly and sustainable future. Currently, there is insufficient research that directly combines the LCC and Maqasid Syariah. Maqasid Syariah encompasses the elevated aims and fundamental principles of Islamic law, encompassing the safeguarding of life, religion, intellect, progeny, and wealth. The objective of this study was to examine the integration of the LCC with the concept of Maqasid Syariah comprehensively. This study employs a systematic methodology that includes thorough literature searches and analyses. This study has identified several relevant topics that align with Maqasid Syariah, namely: (a) integration of LCC with Maqasid Syariah; (b) benefits of a holistic strategy; and (c) challenges and considerations in integrating the LCC with Maqasid Syariah. In conclusion, this study suggests a comprehensive approach that combines the LCC with the notion of Maqasid Syariah, offers significant advantages, and carries substantial significance. To fully explore the benefits and problems of combining the LCC and the idea of Maqasid Syariah, this study recommends conducting further research and fostering teamwork.

Authors: Rudnák Ildikó , Gedecho Kibru Alemu , Taera Edosa Getachew
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this paper was to assess the new paradigm of Integrating Community Engagement Concept in Ethiopian Public Universities. Several publications, institutional documents, and websites such as UNESCO, Ethiopian Ministry of Education, and Ethiopian universities searched as an approach. At start universities started by the concept of ‘community service’ and gradually coming to a paradigm of the concept of ‘community engagement’ with the new paradigm working “with” community partners and not “for” them. As assessment of establishment showed that 49 out 50 As time Ethiopian universities are young with average and less than 20 years except Addis Ababa University, which established half a century before the country’s first-generation universities. Staff passed through curriculum design not considering corporate social responsibility role of higher education sowing and strengthening the culture the paradigm still requires a lot of work. The paradigm importance of shifting to community engagement in that it is a good strategy to pool of resources from all concerned stakeholders this can sustain the development of the society. A strong foundation for fostering and improving higher education institutions in developing countries like Ethiopia will be extremely important for the capacity of the country's higher education sector and economic development. International higher education institutions around the world have been helping staff from higher education institutions of developing countries to enhance their institutional capacity through scholarship. It is important to keep strengthening the staff by expanding postgraduate study options and fostering collaboration between Ethiopian university personnel and international university personnel.
Elder Abuse and Neglect in Long Term Care Facilities in America : A systematic Review
Authors: Mogaka Edwin , Rodman Calvin , Partheeban Mohanna , Mitchell Beatrice , Gautam Vivek
Published: August 2024

Hypothesis: Elder abuse and neglect occurs as a result of lack of relevant personnel training, poor remuneration, and depression among caregivers. To test the hypothesis, overall findings analyzed confirm if they were in agreement or not.
Background: Reported cases of elder abuse and neglect have been on the rise. To add on to that, not enough studies exist that can be of help in guiding policy-makers to formulate solutions and offer answers as to why this problem is on the increase.
Method: These researchers conducted a review of existing literature about elder abuse in order to better understand the risk factors and causes of elder abuse and neglect. Information was mined from various databases that contained information relevant to this review. Results: Results of findings showed that reports of abuse cases were on the rise, especially among elder patients; worse still for those with a secondary chronic illness like dementia and Parkinson’s disease. Women reported more cases of abuse compared to those reported by men. By demographics, abuse was found to be much higher among minority groups like African Americans and Asians Americans. Some elder patients in the studies experienced concurrent types or forms of abuse. Those with severe forms of cognitive impairments reported the highest cases of abuse and self-neglect.
Conclusion: Better remuneration, continuous training to caregivers about aging and better healthcare skills are necessary to help to end this scourge. This study concludes that despite great efforts made by some institutions to end abuse and neglect, more publicity, more studies or research and more funds are required in order to build a sufficient body of knowledge that can be relied upon by the relevant policy-makers
A Robust Quintic Hermite Collocation Method for One-Dimensional Heat Conduction Equation
Authors: Kutluay Selçuk , Yağmurlu Murat , Karakaş Ali Sercan
Published: August 2024

In this work, a new robust numerical solution scheme constructed on Quintic Hermite Collocation Method (QHCM) utilizing the traditional Crank-Nicolson type approximation technique is developed for solving 1D heat conduction equation with certain initial and boundary conditions which is mostly handled as a prototype equation to support the reliability of many proposed new numerical methods. All temporal and spatial quantities in the equation are fully discretized using a usual Crank-Nicolson type finite difference approximation and a QHCM, respectively. In obtaining the present scheme, all the roots of the fourth degree Legendre and Chebyshev polynomials shifted to the unit interval are used as suitable inner collocation points. The obtained results from the developed scheme are found to be good enough and better than those from other schemes encountered in the literature. The scheme is also shown to be unconditionally stable by Fourier stability test.

A neuropatia periférica e síndrome do pé diabético são complicações sérias do diabetes devido à elevação crônica da glicose, resultando em perda de sensibilidade nos pés e risco de úlceras e amputações. A prevenção eficaz inclui controle glicêmico rigoroso, educação em saúde acessível e intervenções precoces na atenção básica, com destaque para a abordagem multidisciplinar como estratégia chave para melhorar o manejo clínico e qualidade de vida dos pacientes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre o tema Abordagens multidisciplinares na avaliação e prevenção do pé diabético. Para formular a pergunta da pesquisa foi utilizada a estratégia PICo (População, Fenômeno e Contexto), os estudos foram selecionados em bases de dados eletrônicos como Google Scholar, LILACS e PubMed, priorizando artigos em português publicados entre 2020 e 2024. A abordagem multidisciplinar não só otimiza o uso de medicamentos, mas também promove mudanças comportamentais cruciais, como adoção de dieta saudável e atividade física regular, essenciais para controlar o diabetes e prevenir úlceras nos pés. Lacunas na prática clínica, especialmente na avaliação do pé diabético em unidades básicas de saúde, comprometem a prevenção de complicações graves. Recomenda-se continuar estudos comparativos para fortalecer o modelo multidisciplinar, visando melhorar resultados de saúde e reduzir custos no tratamento do pé diabético, para um cuidado integrado e contínuo.

People with visual disabilities have difficulty recognizing rupiah denominations using blind codes due to differences in paper size for each denomination, wrinkled paper, and variations in blind codes for different emission years.. The proposed method uses the YOLOv5m algorithm as well as Google Text to Speech (GTTS) as voice output. The aim of the research is to find a model with the best precision value from YOLOv5m in detecting the 2022 emission rupiah and integrate it into GTTS to produce nominal rupiah sounds. The model was trained with the main image dataset, namely 700 images of rupiah emissions in 2022 taken at an angle of 1200. Next, the model was tested to recognize seven nominal amounts, namely IDR 1,000, IDR 2,000, IDR 5,000, IDR 10,000, IDR 20,000, IDR 50,000, and IDR 100,000. The test results show that the best YOLOv5m model is the one that has been trained using the main dataset (700 images) and supplemented with a multi-class image dataset (250 images) and background images (30 images). This model has a precision value of 82% when testing in real time. This research succeeded in applying the YOLOv5 algorithm which is integrated with Google Text to Speech to detect the image of 2022 emission rupiah banknotes.

The background of the problem in this study is that Physiotherapy Services at Permata Hati Hospital for BPJS patients are carried out scheduling or physiotherapy protocol data by writing on the form paper provided and then given to the patient. Besides being given to the patient, the form is also stored by the physiotherapy poly section. The problem that often occurs is that the physiotherapy poly officer must also rewrite the BPJS patient's physiotherapy protocol data in the ledger as data for the next physiotherapy schedule. If you want to find physiotherapy protocol data, it is difficult to do because you have to look one by one in the ledger. The purpose of this research is to make it easier for poly officers to process physiotherapy protocol data in a computerized manner through the design of BPJS patient physiotherapy protocol data applications at Permata Hati Hospital by applying the waterfall method and System Usability Scale (SUS). The results showed that in blackbox testing, the results were obtained in accordance with what was expected starting from the login form test to the patient data input form. Furthermore, testing using the SUS method obtained an average value of 70.75 with a total of 10 respondents and a total of 10 statements. There are 3 components of the System Usability Scale method, namely Acceptable, Grade Scale and Adjective, each component of the results is still at a good value and the level of application is quite comfortable to be used by users.

According to ICW, corruption cases in Indonesia in the last 5 years have increased and the amount of losses suffered by the state from 2012-2022 reached Rp138.39 trillion. According to Transparency International, Indonesia's CPI ranking decreased in 2023 to 115 compared to 2022 at 110 out of 180 countries. These results show that the response to corruption is still slow and continues to deteriorate due to a lack of support from stakeholders. The purpose of this study is to test and compare the performance of deep learning model algorithms (RNN/LSTM/GRU/Bi-GRU/Bi-LSTM) on sentiment classification using word embedding, and obtain a model architecture that can determine the polarity of a sentence about public sentiment related to corruption in Indonesia, which can help governments, researchers, and practitioners in designing more effective anti-corruption strategies. The dataset used amounted to 1793 derived from crawling Twitter with 3 classes namely positive, negative and neutral. This research starts from data collection, preprocessing, word embedding, splitting the dataset which is divided into 80% training data and 20% test data, deep learning model testing, model evaluation and result representation. Word embedding uses word2vec with a dimension of 300. Based on the experimental results obtained, Bi-GRU has better performance than other architectural models with an accuracy value of 88%, precision 88.07%, recall 86.97% and f1-score 87.51%. The data used in this research is relatively small, it is recommended that future research can overcome it

Ticker symbol identification based on stock price data in investor decisions has been proven to be pivotal. Though research exists on stock price forecasting, ticker symbol identification is still a research opportunity. Meanwhile, some temporal-sequential classification methods are available, such as classification-integrated moving average (CIMA) and recurrent neural network (RNN)-based deep learning such as long short-term memory (LSTM), and gated recurrent unit (GRU). Our research aim is to prove that CIMA can perform ticker symbol identification on non-stationary stock price datasets. This research collects ten most well-known stock price dataset from Kaggle and performs pre-processing. Then it designs CIMA with non-stationary data and the benchmark deep learning methods. Both methods are optimized with hyperparameter tuning and model selection between adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) and legacy k-nearest neighbors (KNN). The test results show five non-stationary features in the stock price dataset must go through a differentiation process. Then, AdaBoost has an accuracy of 0.9967 ± 0.001, while KNN has an accuracy of 0.9971 ± 0.001, with no significant difference based on t-test. Meanwhile, AdaBoost has a significantly smaller model size and testing and prediction time than KNN. In benchmarking, CIMA+AdaBoost is superior to the three other methods for accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score, all of which have a value of 0.996. Our research contribution is ticker symbol identification based on stock price using CIMA on multiple-class sequential classification with non-stationary data. For future research, we advice to perform this method on other stock price data.

In software development projects there is continuous development aimed at increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the team in providing software quality and customer satisfaction. The problem is that many projects are planned using a waterfall approach by clients, therefore some tools are needed to balance this situation. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid methodologies in software development by uncovering the use of a combination of Waterfall and Agile Scrum methodologies with the application of Six Sigma. This hybrid methodology was deemed suitable for combining the plan- and contract-based characteristics of Waterfall with the flexibility and rapid iteration of Agile Scrum. The use of Six Sigma is used to focus on change, assist in systematically identifying and correcting process problems, and process improvement. In research methods, sample teams run different methodologies on similar software projects. Hybrid project management is carried out by applying the Waterfall approach in planning and contracts. At the same time, each phase in Waterfall is iterated using Agile Scrum to ensure flexibility and adaptability. The research results found that this hybrid method can increase team efficiency, reduce development cycle time, detect higher defects in each sprint, increase the final quality of the software, and finally increase the Sigma Index with a team comparison of σ=3.22 and σ= 3.11 and higher compared to teams that only use Agile-Scrum. In conclusion, the integration of Waterfall, Agile Scrum, and Six Sigma can be an effective strategy to face the challenges of modern software development.
