Published: December 2024

Heavy metal characteristics and ecological threat assessment in water and sediments of Eniong Creek, Nigeria was studied between August 2022 and January 2023 in 3 stations. Seven heavy metals were analyzed with standard methods and compared with quality Standard. Ecological threat was assessed in water using two metal pollution indices while six sediment quality assessment indices were used to access the sediment quality. Results showed that the mean concentrations of nickel, copper, cadmium and zinc in water sample exceeded the permissible limits set by National environmental (surface and groundwater) quality regulations for aquatic life, while copper and cadmium exceeded the permissible limits set by Canadian sediment standards quality for the protection of aquatic life in sediments in all the stations. The heavy metal pollution index (HPI) values exceeded the threshold (100) across the stations, ranging between 469.53 and 686.74 while comprehensive pollution index (CPI) ranged between 1.405 and 1.854, indicating moderate contaminated water. The sediment indices indicated that cadmium and copper were the major metallic pollutants. The indices indicated the following –contamination factor: copper (moderate) and cadmium (very high), degree of contamination (very high); ecological risk: cadmium and copper (high) while lead and zinc were moderate; potential ecological risk (high); quantification of contamination: cadmium and copper (anthropogenic); geo-accumulation index: cadmium (very highly polluted). The study revealed that the water body and sediments were polluted, attributed to anthropogenic activities.Keywords: Eniong Creek; Heavy Metals, Nigeria; Sediment; Water

MAPPING THE UNMET NEEDS OF MIGRANT WOMEN IN BHURAKIGARHI VILLAGE, ALIGARH DISTRICT
Authors: Madhuri
Published: December 2024

The ethnographic study of migrant women workers focuses on the challenges and difficulties they face at their workplace. These women are seasonal migrants who come to the study area for less than two months for sapling plantations. The study will utilize social well-being indicators to discover the neglected elements of unfulfilled demands. The author also attempts to provide recommendations for each unmet need.This study is based on qualitative research methods utilizing focus group discussions. It has been found that these migrants lack sufficient housing, and their living conditions are extremely poor, resulting in an unhygienic environment. Women get dermatitis and fissures on their hands and feet as a result of exposure to fertilizers, as well as inadequate menstrual hygiene. Instead of functioning alone, they assert their claim over public space. The salaries initially allocated to the ladies throughout the recruitment process were not provided to them. The present article maps these migratory women workers' unmet basic requirements, including several facets of social well-being. The paper also suggests policy recommendations to create places of well-being with improved living circumstances, pay, recreational alternatives, etc., which can further help meet the unmet requirements of these migrant women workers.

Authors: Agrawal Prashant , Kumar Awanit , Tripathi Arun Kumar
Published: December 2024

Cyberbullying represents a significant challenge in online environments, requiring advanced techniques for its accurate detection and mitigation. This paper introduces a novel approach that leverages ensemble learning and embedding methods to enhance cyberbullying detection. The proposed framework integrates various classifiers, including deep learning models, decision trees, random forests, and logistic regression, in combination with Universal Sentence Embeddings for semantic text representation. The study employs a labeled dataset sourced from offensive language databases, which is preprocessed and divided into training and testing sets. Hyperparameter optimization for traditional classifiers is performed using grid search, while a deep learning model is trained to identify complex patterns in cyberbullying content. Ensemble learning is utilized to combine predictions from multiple models, improving overall detection performance and generalization. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated using metrics such as accuracy and confusion matrices, demonstrating superior performance compared to individual models. The results indicate that the ensemble learning framework significantly enhances the accuracy of cyberbullying detection, contributing to the growing body of research on online safety and machine learning applications in digital platforms.

Authors: Bajaj Rashmi , Batra Aparna
Published: December 2024

With the increased urbanization and industrialisation in the last few decades, the physical and mental space for the world of Nature has considerately shrunk in Life and Literature. Homosapiens and their multiple concerns have come centrestage to dominate all discourses ,with other entities relegated to the background. However, Nature has continued to occupy a significant place in women-writing across globe. The poetic corpus of Indian English women poets contains beautiful descriptions of the natural world, portrayal of close human-nature interface and also expression of some deep metaphysical and esoteric human experiences vis-à-vis Nature as the poets go beyond the mere outer manifestations of nature. This paper takes up an in-depth perusal of various dimensions of Human-Nature interface in the poetry of the contemporary poets. It also explores the distinctive aspects of their Nature-related vision and philosophy as these poets strive to connect with nature in their quest to strike roots in our route-less and rootless tempestuous Times.

Topkapı Sarayı Tablakâr Koğuşu’nun Tamir Ve Restorasyon Süreci
Authors: Uysal Engüdar Ece , Yergün Uzay
Published: December 2024

On beşinci yüzyılda inşa edilen Topkapı Sarayı yaklaşık beş asırlık oluşumuyla Osmanlı Devleti’nin sosyal, ekonomik, idari, askeri, sanatsal ve kültürel kimliğini yansıtmaktadır. Kültürel mirasın önemli bir örneği olan saray her bir parçasıyla özenle korunmayı hak etmektedir. Ancak XX. yüzyıla kadar klasik ve ithal sanatla üst üste tamir ve inşası süren yapıların, özellikle Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nden sonra sarayın müzeye çevrilmesiyle birlikte üslup birliği anlayışı doğrultusunda restorasyon adı altında özgünlüğü zarar görmüştür. Anıtların korunmasıyla ilgili yasaların çok geç yürürlüğe girmesi ve bu yasalardaki eksiklikler, kurulların sınırlı koruma algısı, kurul kararlarının çoğu zaman göz ardı edilmesi, uygulamalardaki özensizlikler, müze işlevinin saray mimarisinin önüne geçmesi saraydaki tahribatları hızlandırmıştır. Sur ve bahçelerle çevrili, yönetim, yaşam, ibadet ve servis mekanlarından oluşan Topkapı Sarayı’nın bir birimi de saray mutfaklarının (Matbah-ı Âmire) yardımcı bir kolu olan Tablakâr Koğuşu’dur. Tablakârların ikamet ettiği, mutfak araç-gereçlerinin depolandığı koğuş Osmanlı Dönemi’nde çeşitli tamir ve güçlendirme yöntemleriyle ayakta tutulmuştur. Saray müzeye çevrildikten sonra koğuşun dönem ekleri ayıklanmış, betonarme elemanların ilavesiyle koğuş özgünlüğünü kaybederek önce araba seksiyonu ve karakol, ardından arşiv ve kumaş deposu olarak hizmete girmiştir. Tablakâr Koğuşu’nun koruma sürecine odaklanan bu çalışma sırasında ülke genelindeki koruma yaklaşımları yasal düzenlemeler, kanunlar ve kurumsal yapılaşma çerçevesinde incelenmiş, bu veriler Topkapı Sarayı, Matbah-ı Âmire ve en son Tablakâr Koğuşu özelinde karşılaştırılmıştır. Tablakâr Koğuşu’nda esaslı onarımın en son 1962 tarihinde yürütülmesi sebebiyle XV. yüzyıldan 1962 yılına kadar olan bir süreci kapsayan bu çalışmada koruma tarihi, Topkapı Sarayı’nın mimarisi, teşkilat yapısı ve tarihi ile ilgili kaynaklar taranmış, kurul kararları ile Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivleri Başkanlığı’ndaki tamir belgelerine yer verilmiştir.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: The American Nurses Association designated forensic nursing (FN) a specialty in 1995. Nursing schools subsequently adopted Lynch's theoretical framework. Inconsistent sub-specialty-focused graduate education emerged, creating difficult-to-compare early programs of study. AIMS: Update FN domains, descriptions of and context for FN practices, core competencies, and sub-competencies with content for graduate curricula, align FN with new AACN Essentials, and create a certification foundation. METHODS: Methods include the mini-Delphi design (Estimate-Talk-Estimate), with Nominal Group Techniques methods, Cognitive Task Analysis, and NVivo™ qualitative analysis of experts' virtual recordings. The FN sample (N=126) included educators-clinicians, who gathered face-to-face (2002-4, 2014) and virtually (2020-22). RESULTS: The 2002-04 results informed the 2014 meeting, validating major knowledge pillars (legal foundations, forensic science, and nursing science). Analysis of 2020-2022 data named key domains, descriptions of and context for practice, core competencies, sub-competencies, concepts, and content in forensic nurse science and practice. The research included qualitative analysis of participant conversations, naming key content for each pillar. CONCLUSIONS: The 20-year Delphi study transformed knowledge integration for competent future Generalist and Advanced Forensic Nurse education and practice. The study confirmed Lynch’s thesis, three pillars of knowledge, and aligned FN core competencies with AACN Essentials and other national nursing publications, naming common practices, essential for all FNs. The study’s derivation of scientific content, important for certifications, arose from qualitative analysis of expert conversations, implying that as FN science evolves, the diverse practice roles of the FN mature with a common and basic core for application in all FN practices.
Psychiatric Deprescribing: Case Studies and Clinical Implications in Forensics
Authors: Ellis Kerri A. , Shari L. Harding  , Petreca Victor
Published: December 2024

The use of psychiatric medications is highly individualized. Polypharmacy is common, often introducing additional risks with limited benefits. In correctional settings, judicious use of psychiatric medications is critically important. During transitions of care, such as admission to a correctional facility, individuals benefit from timely and evidence-based prescriptive practices. Various factors can impact the continuation of treatment and medication access for incarcerated individuals, including communication gaps between community clinicians and correctional medical teams, formulary options, structured medication administration schedules, substance misuse, feigned illness, and diversion. Forensic nurses and advanced practice nurses navigate these complexities to provide effective and safe medication plans for incarcerated individuals. Incarceration presents an opportunity to review and deprescribe medications that are excessively or inappropriately prescribed. The existing psychiatric deprescribing literature is limited, with even less evidence oriented towards forensic settings. This paper utilizes case studies of incarcerated individuals to explore clinical insights and experiences related to deprescribing.

Published: December 2024

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, known as hyperglycemia. The objective of this study is to develop a mathematical model of diabetes mellitus. The model will be analyzed in terms of its equilibrium points using the Adam-Bashforth Moulton numerical method. The numerical method that used is a multistep method. The predictor step employs the Runge-Kutta method, while the corrector step uses the Adam-Bashforth Moulton method. The mathematical model of diabetes mellitus is categorized into two classes: uncomplicated diabetes mellitus and complicated diabetes mellitus. The resulting model identifies two equilibrium points: the endemic equilibrium point (complicated) and the disease-free equilibrium point (uncomplicated). The eigenvalues of these equilibrium points are positive real numbers and negative real numbers. Therefore, the stability of the system is found to be unstable and asymptotically stable, indicating that the population of individuals with uncomplicated diabetes mellitus will continue to rise, whereas the population with complications will not increase significantly over time.

Authors: Restiani Yulia , Purwadi Joko
Published: December 2024

In this research, SVM will be used to differentiate between plain nail art designs (class 0), 3D nail art designs (class 1), and hand painting nail art designs (class 2). The dataset used consists of images of nail designs that have been collected and analyzed previously. First, the dataset is divided into three different classes based on the type of nail design. The first class (class 0) includes plain nail art designs, then the second class (class 1) is 3D nail art designs, and the third class (class 2) is hand painting nail art designs. This process is carried out to allow SVM to learn the feature differences between the two types of designs. The data used will be divided into training and testing data and divided into three data division schemes, namely 60/40, 70/30, and 80/20. Based on the results of the research discussed, it can be concluded that classification using the Linear SVM model on three data sharing schemes provides the best level of accuracy on the 80/20 scheme, namely 81.25%. Meanwhile, classification using the non-linear SVM model achieved the highest level of accuracy of 95% in the 80/20 scheme with the RBF Kernel. Thus, the SVM model that is suitable for classifying nail art designs is a non-linear SVM model with the 80/20 scheme. The accuracy results obtained from this research also show that SVM provides good performance in classifying nail art designs.

Pobreza multidimensional, medio ambiente y la relación hombre-naturaleza: caminos hacia el desarrollo sostenible
Authors: Do Espírito-Santo Monick Midlej , Dos Santos-Neto Givaldo  Correa , Da Silva-Gomes Andréa
Published: December 2024

El fenómeno de la pobreza ha estado presente en la dinámica de construcción de la sociedad durante muchos siglos. En las últimas décadas, varios autores han estudiado la complejidad de la pobreza bajo múltiples dimensiones, relacionándola con el desarrollo y la libertad individual. La conexión entre pobreza y medio ambiente se comprende al observar la evolución de la relación hombre-naturaleza a lo largo del tiempo, ya que, históricamente, el ser humano se ha posicionado como superior a la naturaleza. Dicho esto, este artículo busca comprender cómo se produce la conexión entre la pobreza y el medio ambiente, a través de la relación hombre-naturaleza, estableciendo caminos para alcanzar el desarrollo sostenible. Con base en la investigación bibliográfica y documental, se pudo observar cuán complejas y notorias son las relaciones establecidas. No por casualidad, el período de pandemia (2020-2023) provocado por el coronavirus y la consiguiente disrupción social derivada del mismo supuso una modificación muy inusual de la interacción hombre-naturaleza. Los impactos de corto y largo plazo sobre el medio ambiente y sobre la pobreza demuestran la dimensión de las acciones antrópicas y muestran que las acciones contemporáneas basadas en la explotación de los recursos naturales generan severas consecuencias para la vida humana.

Intrauterine Therapy with Platelet-Rich Plasma for Persistent Breeding-Induced Endometritis in Mares: A Review
Authors: Thiago Magalhães Resende , Renata Albuquerque de Pino Maranhão , Ana Luisa Soares de Miranda , Lorenzo GTM Segabinazzi , Priscila Fantini
Published: December 2024

This review aims to emphasize the scientific focus on platelet therapies by presenting the results already obtained in mares susceptible to Persistent Breeding-Induced Endometritis (PBIE), as well as highlighting opportunities for further improvement. The recent publication demonstrating the absence of bacterial growth in susceptible mares treated with PRP underscores the potential of regenerative therapies to control infections without promoting the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Alternative therapies have gained prominence in the current public health context, with the World Health Organization listing antimicrobial resistance among the ten most significant global threats. Endometritis is the leading cause of subfertility in mares, and empirical antibiotic therapies are commonly used in the field due to market pressures related to the high financial value of embryos, along with logistical challenges in obtaining laboratory-dependent diagnostic results. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an alternative therapy derived from whole blood plasma with a high concentration of platelets. Its anti-inflammatory, regenerative, and antimicrobial properties are particularly tested when traditional therapies fail to achieve the desired effect. In recent years, research on the use of PRP in equine reproduction has primarily focused on endometritis, with a particular emphasis on persistent breeding-induced endometritis (PBIE). However, there is a growing interest in other platelet derivatives, such as lyophilized platelet-rich plasma and platelet lysate, which offer practical field applications.

Cleghorn’s business and personal papers, held by the Lilly Library at Indiana University Bloomington, are here excerpted with scholarly footnotes, and published for the first time. The papers provide a look into mid-nineteenth-century Indiana and the West through the lenses of Native Removal, the Indian trade and fur trade, the operation of the federal Office of Indian Affairs, and the webs of patronage and influence that made up life for so many people like William Cleghorn.
Revolutionizing healthcare cybersecurity a generative AI-Driven MLOps framework for proactive threat detection and mitigation
Authors: Rahul Kalva
Published: December 2024

The exponential growth of digitalization in healthcare has led to unprecedented challenges in securing sensitive data, safeguarding patient privacy, and ensuring system integrity against evolving cyber threats. Traditional cybersecurity measures often struggle to cope with the dynamic nature of modern attacks, particularly in environments where real-time decision-making and adaptive responses are critical. This paper introduces a novel Generative AI-driven MLOps framework designed to address these challenges by combining the power of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) with the operational efficiency of Machine Learning Operations (MLOps).The proposed framework leverages generative AI models to simulate diverse and sophisticated cyber-attack scenarios, enabling the training of robust threat detection mechanisms. By integrating MLOps pipelines, the framework ensures seamless deployment, real-time monitoring, and continuous learning to adapt to emerging threats. This approach not only enhances anomaly detection but also automates threat mitigation, significantly reducing response times and minimizing the impact of cyber incidents.The framework was validated using both synthetic and real-world healthcare datasets, demonstrating superior performance in terms of detection accuracy (98%), reduced false positive rates (2%), and faster response times (35% improvement over baseline models). A case study simulating a ransomware attack in a hospital setting revealed the system's ability to neutralize threats with 92% success within seconds of detection. These findings highlight the transformative potential of integrating generative AI with MLOps in healthcare cybersecurity, paving the way for more resilient, adaptive, and scalable security solutions. This research contributes to advancing the state-of-the-art in healthcare cybersecurity while addressing critical gaps in threat detection and mitigation strategies.

Authors: Indah Listiana Kriswandini  , Amanda Sofi Nabila Maharani  , Alisya Rachel Salsabila  , Tantiana
Published: December 2024

Background: Periodontal disease is the most prevalent disease worldwide with a prevalence of 20% to 50%, including periodontitis. Periodontitis involves complex interactions between specific pathogenic bacteria and host immune response. Microbial infections in subgingival biofilms are mainly caused by gram-negative bacteria including Porphyromonas gingivalis. Inhibition of Porphyromonas gingivalis virulence is one way to prevent periodontitis. This inhibition can be done in several ways through peptide inhibitors, quorum sensing inhibitors and natural inhibitors.
Objective: This study aims to explain the mechanism of inhibiting periodontitis pathogenesis with various inhibitors on Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Methods: his study employed a systematic literature review design by searching for articles based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search strategy used keywords and Boolean Operators from two databases (EBSCO and ProQuest).
Results: he use of SAPP as a peptide inhibitor can inhibit the activity of Porphyromonas gingivalis gingipains, suppressing cytokine levels and inhibit colonization of Porphyromonas gingivalis. The use of furanone, D-ribose and BMK-Q101 as quorum sensing inhibitors can reduce Porphyromonas gingivalis in biofilms, inhibit the biosynthesis of autoinducer-2 so as to suppress the virulence factors of Porphyromonas gingivalis. The use of prenyl flavonoid as a natural inhibitor is a potent inhibitor of Arg-gingipain (Rgp) and Lys-gingipain (Kgp) and completely suppress the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Conclusion: Inhibition of Porphyromonas gingivalis using peptide inhibitor, quorum sensing inhibitors and natural inhibitor can suppress virulence factors and inhibit biofilm formation of Porphyromonas gingivalis thus inhibiting the pathogenesis of periodontitis.

Deep learning in cybersecurity: Enhancing threat detection and response
Authors: Maureen Oluchukwuamaka Okafor
Published: December 2024

Deep learning (DL) has changed the cybersecurity domain by providing sophisticated tools for detecting and mitigating an evolving landscape of cyber threats. This study explores the application of deep learning techniques, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), in real-time threat detection and response. These models excel in identifying patterns and anomalies within vast and complex datasets, enabling accurate detection of malware, phishing attempts, and insider threats. Their ability to autonomously learn from diverse sources, such as network traffic, user behaviour, and system logs, enhances the efficacy of cybersecurity systems. Despite these advancements, the field faces significant challenges, including adversarial attacks designed to exploit vulnerabilities in deep learning algorithms. These attacks manipulate input data to deceive models, potentially bypassing security mechanisms and compromising critical systems. Addressing this issue requires a multi-faceted approach, integrating robust training methods, data augmentation, and defensive mechanisms such as adversarial training and gradient masking. Furthermore, explainability and interpretability of deep learning models remain crucial for building trust and improving decision-making in security operations. The paper also emphasizes the importance of a proactive, layered defense strategy to counteract sophisticated cyber threats. This includes combining deep learning with traditional cybersecurity measures and incorporating threat intelligence to enhance system resilience. By bridging the gap between state-of-the-art DL methodologies and practical applications in cybersecurity, this research provides a roadmap for improving threat detection and response capabilities, ultimately contributing to the development of secure, adaptive, and resilient cyber infrastructures.
Traumasta puhuminen, kirjoittaminen ja etiikka
Authors: Rantonen Eila
Published: December 2024

Käsittelen artikkelissani traumakuvausta Henning Mankellin romaanissa Tea-Bag (2001, Nimeltään Tea-Bag, 2004). Pakolaisten traumaattisia kokemuksia on käsitelty vain vähän traumafiktion tutkimuksessa. Sitä on kritisoitu myös trauman estetisoinnista, jossa trauman kliininen ja terapeuttinen tutkimus on jäänyt liian vähälle huomiolle. Artikkelini kytkeytyy lääketiedettä, terveystieteitä ja humanistista tutkimusta yhdistelevään medical and health humanities -alaan. Yhdistelen siinä traumafiktion, traumateorian ja terapeuttisen kirjoittamisen tutkimusta.
Romaani kuvaa Göteborgissa kokoontuvaa pakolaisnaisten kirjoittajapiiriä, jota ohjaa ruotsalainen mieskirjailija. Keskityn episodeihin, joissa pakolaisnaiset puhuvat ja kirjoittavat traumasta. Tea-Bag aktivoi empaattisen ja eettisen lukemisen käytäntöjä. Teoksen monipersoonainen ja moniperspektiivinen kerronta edustaa esitystapana pluralismia, ”äänten etiikkaa”, jossa pakolaisnaisten kertomukset on asemoitu etualalle. Havainnollistan trauman kohtaamista Emmanuel Levinasin toiseuden kasvokkain kohtaamisen filosofialla. Lopuksi pohdin postkoloniaalista kysymystä kulttuurisesta appropriaatiosta. Romaanin kirjailijahahmon ironisen kuvauksen voi tulkita edustavan Mankellin metanarratiivista itsekritiikkiä etuoikeutettuna länsimaisena mieskirjailijana.
