Published: December 2023

In this project, The results use three different machine learning algorithms to approach salary classification. The analyzed data used many different variables such as education level, age, and work-class to label each person into two categories, one with a salary greater than 50k and the other with a salary less than or equal to 50k. First of all, this work uses a single decision tree model to visualize data because it is more concise and understandable, and then by using the support vector machine method, the result becomes more accurate. After building two different models, The accuracy was found to be about 86.32%, which is relatively high and reliable. However, higher accuracy may be more persuasive. So, this project uses another model which is the random forest model. This algorithm is considered a highly accurate method because of the number of decision trees that participated. This model explained 87.03% of the accuracy of my result. According to my models, if a person desires a wage increase, that person should do his best to improve his education level, and he needs to have a stable marriage situation and be able to start his own business as much as possible between the ages of 20 to 60.

Authors: Hu Jingyu
Published: December 2023

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, intelligent fintech scenarios based on big data are receiving more and more attention, and through the analysis of massive financial class data, accurate decision support can be provided for its various scenarios. By predicting the transaction volume of a financial product of a bank, abnormal transaction flow and gradual change trend can be found 1 day in advance to provide decision support for business department program development, and provide decision support for system expansion and contraction, thus reducing system online pressure or releasing unnecessary system resources. Linear algorithms such as AR model, MA model, ARMA model, etc. have poor prediction results for transaction volumes during holidays in the non-stationary dataset handled in this study due to strong assumptions on historical data. In this paper, we design and implement an LSTM-based trading volume prediction model LSTM-WP (LSTM-WebPredict) using deep learning algorithm, which can improve the accuracy of prediction of holiday trading volume by about 8% based on the linear algorithm by discovering and learning the features of historical data, and the learning ability of the model will gradually increase with the increasing of training data; Not only that, the research of this algorithm also provides corresponding technical accumulation for other business scenarios of time series problems, such as trend prediction and capacity assessment.

Underlying factors that may affect the treatment of Platelet-rich plasma in chronic wounds
Authors: Dong Zhiqin , Wu Jijin
Published: December 2023

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has gained widespread usage in the treatment of various chronic wounds due to its ease of preparation and high safety profile. But not every treatment can achieve satisfactory results. The quality of PRP is based on individual biological characteristics. Autologous PRP technology is greatly affected by the patient himself. Individual responses to PRP treatment are different and will produce different therapeutic effects. Especially in patients with uncontrollable factors such as aging, diabetes, and coronary heart disease, the use of antiplatelet drugs may potentially reduce the quality of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP). When treating related diseases, it is important to consider the impact of factors such as age, gender, and the specific disease. Currently, many researchers are focusing on the development of allogeneic PRP technology to avoid the inconvenience of collecting autologous blood and reduce potential negative effects that may exist in the patient's disease itself. In this review, we explore the factors generally recognized in current research which influence the efficacy of PRP.

Published: December 2023

A case study of Orange Mobile Company in Sierra Leone was used in the study to assess the impact of public relations on reputation management. The study's goals were to understand the roles that public relations play in managing Orange Sierra Leone's reputation, identify the problems with public relations that arise when managing Orange Sierra Leone's reputation, identify the best solutions to these problems, and look into the relationship between public relations and Orange Sierra Leone's reputation management. The study used an informal research design to reflect various aspects of study respondents' perceptions, feelings, experiences, facts, and emotional reactions to the study issue. This was a study of a problem or subject that looked at how one factor or variable affected another. This was due to the fact that the resulting research questions need explanatory, descriptive, and analytical components of the research to be observed. The study used a 60-person sample that was taken from a 600-person population. The top administrators of Orange Sierra Leone participated in key informant interviews, which the researcher coordinated and which enriched the study's findings. Data was as well gathered through self-administered questionnaires, which were given to representatives of the Public Relations department so they may respond. The majority of respondents generally felt that representing the company or individual to the media is one of the most well-known functions, which is proof that the concept of public relations is very important to the brand image of the organization. The study comes to the conclusion that creating written and oral documentation is another role of public relations. The study suggests that public relations training should be established in order to provide managers and practitioners with the necessary information and abilities. It is important to arrange seminars and conferences so that staff employees and practitioners with less experience can pick the brains of more knowledgeable individuals. This tactic should reduce dial errors brought on by limited experience.

Authors: Qosyan Lilit
Published: December 2023

Part of the Western Armenians who survived the mass massacres organized by Abdul Hamid II in 1890s was forced to migrate and settle down around the world. Only 50,000 refugees found shelter in Eastern Armenia.1 The latter survived owing to various funds. However, aid and alleviating the condition of the Western Armenian refugees to some extent did not solve the difficult problem of their survival. It was necessary to take steps to return them to their place of birth, which was a vital necessity for the Western Armenians. The catastrophic decrease in the number of the Armenian people had a very negative impact on the demography of Western Armenia, which was an important part of the policy adopted by the sultan. That is why hundreds of depopulated settlements were inhabited by Muslim tribes. Under the name of “muhajirs” (refugees), they settled down in Western Armenia and Cilicia.

Published: December 2023

This study explores the impact of employing a heuristic approach on students’ academic achievement and retention in geography education. The sample consisted of 235 SS II students enrolled in public secondary schools in the Municipal Education Zone, Kano, Nigeria. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design, with two schools assigned to the experimental group (heuristic approach) and two schools assigned to the control group (lecture method). The Geography Achievement Test (GAT) was used as the data collection instrument. ANCOVA was used to test the hypothesis using SPSS and the findings revealed a significant difference in the mean academic achievements between students taught geography concepts using the heuristic approach and those taught using the lecture method. The experimental group exhibited higher academic achievement compared to the control group, indicating that the use of the heuristic approach enhances students’ understanding and performance in geography. Also, there was a significant difference in the mean retention scores of male and female students when taught geography using the heuristic approach. Female students achieved higher retention scores than their male counterparts, suggesting that the heuristic approach is particularly effective in facilitating knowledge retention for female students in geography education. Based on the findings, it is recommended that educators and curriculum developers incorporate the heuristic approach into teaching methods for geography concepts. Training programs and workshops can be conducted to familiarize teachers with effective strategies for implementing the heuristic approach in their lessons.

PROSPECTS OF APPLICATION OF THE EXPERIENCE OF INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF LOBBYING IN THE USA IN THE DOMESTIC SYSTEM OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
Authors: VINNYCHENKO Oleksandr
Published: December 2023

Based on domestic and foreign sources, the article analyzes the experience of the USA regarding the institutionalization of lobbying activities and makes a generalization about the possibility of its use in the domestic system of public administration. It is shown that the goals of the institutionalization of lobbying activities are to ensure the rights of citizens to participate in the adoption and implementation of management decisions and the activities of government bodies in general. It is substantiated that the development of lobbying contributes to the effectiveness of public control in interactions between state structures and interest groups, which is a mechanism for minimizing corruption. It is noted that the USA is a kind of standard for the institutionalization of lobbying in the system of public administration, since it was here that it was started in its modern form and it is here that legislation on lobbying has the longest history and, accordingly, detailed regulation of the object of regulation. For domestic legislators, the systematic development of the conceptual apparatus in the field of lobbying activity regulation, which includes the definition of 16 terms, is primarily important in this law. The law regulates not only the relations between lobbyists and legislators, but lobbying activities in the sphere of executive power. US lobbying legislation also defines the characteristics of lobbying activity as professional, and also has a perfect procedure for registration and submission of quarterly reports of lobbyists and a system of penalties for violations of lobbying legislation. At the same time, it is shown that the American system of lobbying regulation was not very effective in combating political corruption in the US legislative system. It was concluded that the American legislation on the regulation of lobbying can be taken as a basis for the development of the most important component of domestic legislation related to the definition of the subject and lobbying activity, as well as the concept of this activity itself. And this is the main prerequisite for successful public-management regulation of the functioning of this institute in a standardized form, which is an urgent task for the development of the domestic public management system.

A systematized sequence of steps in the formation of a personnel development strategy to improve the quality of education, taking into account the characteristics of the educational institution: involvement of interested parties; analysis of needs and problems to determine key directions for improving the quality of professional education; development of an action plan with the establishment of specific goals, deadlines and responsible persons; regular monitoring and performance evaluation; cooperation with other educational institutions, scientific institutions and organizations to exchange experience and gain new knowledge; constant improvement and search for ways to improve the quality of professional education. The methods and tools of human resources management are proposed to improve labor productivity, retain and develop personnel, create a favorable working environment, and achieve the organization's goals. The use of tools to encourage staff to experiment and use innovative teaching methods in the personnel strategy, which will contribute to improving the quality of education and student satisfaction, is substantiated; an example of successful application of personnel management methods is given. It was concluded that ensuring the country's competitiveness on the international market requires high-quality professional education. In order to solve the problem of low quality of professional education at the level of personnel management, the head of an educational institution must be able to develop and implement a personnel development strategy, taking into account the characteristics of a specific educational institution, aimed at improving the quality of education. In the personnel strategy of the educational institution, it is necessary to emphasize the encouragement of personnel to innovate and experiment with new teaching methods, to focus on the development and use of employees' competencies, and to ensure the process of continuous professional development of teachers.
STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE PERSONNEL IN THE CONTEXT OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION
Authors: VOLKOVA Nataliia
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the study of strategic aspects of human resources management in the context of European integration. The study focuses on innovative approaches to human resources management that will help to increase its efficiency and compliance with European standards. In particular, the need for staff development and the introduction of digital technologies in HR is discussed. The key aspects of HRM standards in the public service in the European Union that can be revealed through the career model, gender approach and their integration into policies and programs are considered. The paper notes that Ukraine, as a candidate for EU accession, should implement European standards of public administration. In particular, this means that Ukrainian civil servants must understand the approaches and procedures of the EU supranational bodies, have in-depth knowledge of EU law in their field, and manage the full cycle of its implementation - analyze inconsistencies, develop changes with an impact assessment, consult with key stakeholders, develop the necessary legislation, apply project management for its implementation after adoption, and assess its impact during implementation. Among the hard skills for Ukrainian civil servants, knowledge of English and other EU languages is important, and among the soft skills, it is important to have a "customer focus" in their professional activities. The article notes that the public service HR management strategy should be developed on the basis of the public service strategy, taking into account the analysis of the current situation, when formulating the objectives of HR policy and specific measures and recommendations of experts. This process is cyclical and dynamic, since the HRM strategy should be in line with changes in policy, legislation and social requirements.

The article determines that European standards of HR management in the public service may differ from Ukrainian standards in terms of the level of professional training and development of personnel, their ethical behavior, transparency and openness of procedures, as well as the system of evaluation and incentives.

Published: December 2023

In the early days of its emergence, the social work profession was seen as a social assistance profession. The profession, which has developed mostly in the focus of poverty, has started to benefit from the theories, approaches and models of different disciplines such as psychology and sociology and has an eclectic knowledge base. Social work, which evaluates human behavior, needs and problems with a biopsychosocial focus, continues to benefit from different disciplines. One of these disciplines is neuroscience, which facilitates our understanding of the brain's function and life-long processes. Studies showing the connection between social work and neuroscience are increasing, albeit slowly, around the world. This study aims to reveal the role of neuroscience in understanding the factors that affect the social behavior of individuals within the framework of the "person in environment" approach, which is one of the dominant paradigms in social work today.
Hepatitis E infection: A review
Authors: Iqbal Humzah , Mehmood Bilal Fazal , Sohal Aalam , Roytman Marina
Published: December 2023

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a small non-enveloped virus that is transmitted via the fecal-oral route. It is a highly common cause of acute hepatitis, particularly in low to middle income regions of Asia, Africa, and Central America. Most cases are self-limited, and symptomatic patients usually present with acute icteric hepatitis. A subset of patients including pregnant women, older men, those with pre-existing liver disease and immunocompromised patients however, may develop severe disease and hepatic failure. Immunocompromised patients are also at risk for chronic infection, and their immunosuppression should be decreased in order to facilitate viral clearance. HEV can also present with a variety of extra-intestinal manifestations including neurological, renal, hematological, and pancreatic derangements. The gold standard of diagnosis is HEV ribonucleic acid detection via nucleic acid amplification testing. Currently, there are no approved treatments for Hepatitis E, though ribavirin is the most commonly used agent to reduce viral load. Studies assessing the safety and efficacy of other antiviral agents for HEV are currently underway. HEV vaccination has been approved in China, and is currently being investigated in other regions as well. This review article aims to discuss the epidemiology, pathogenesis, presentation, diagnosis, complications, and treatment of Hepatitis E infection.

Authors: Moazzeni Khorasgani Ali , Niloofar Zarearsanjani  , Arlyn Rodriguez
Published: December 2023

Integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) into building design and operation has ushered in a new era of sustainable architecture and enhanced occupant comfort. This paper presents comprehensive case studies focused on the application of IoT technology in the context of double-skin facades, explicitly focusing on achieving and optimizing thermal comfort. These case studies, located in an urban setting, represent a paradigm shift in architectural design principles. Double skin facades, renowned for their potential to enhance energy efficiency and occupant well-being, are further empowered through the intelligent deployment of IoT devices. This synergy between architectural innovation and digital technology is instrumental in addressing the pressing challenges of energy consumption and occupant comfort in urbanized areas. It delves into the sensors, actuators, and data analytics systems employed to monitor and control the indoor environment. Special attention is given to the dynamic adaptation of the facade system in response to real-time environmental conditions, occupancy patterns, and user preferences. One of the case studies—PH01-BRK, projects the practical application of these principles in South Dakota’s first custom passive and net-zero home, completed in 2016, using advanced thermal analysis tools, software for heating and cooling requirements, and solar data assessment. Furthermore, the paper investigates the impact of IoT-enabled double-skin facades on thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality within the Brookings Passive House. Quantitative data and occupant feedback are analyzed to assess the effectiveness of the IoT-driven system in maintaining optimal thermal conditions while minimizing energy consumption. The findings of this case study underscore the potential of IoT technology in revolutionizing the design and operation of sustainable buildings. It demonstrates that integrating IoT into double-skin facades can significantly enhance thermal comfort, reduce energy consumption, and create healthier indoor environments.

For this purpose, bulgur or quinoa grains (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) were coated with quinoa:wheat flour mixture at ratios of 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 100:0 and couscous samples were produced. The chemical (crude ash, crude protein and protein digestibility, crude fat, total phenolic content (TFC), phytic acid, total dietary fiber (TDF), minerals and mineral digestibility), physical and cooking properties of couscous were determined. The use of quinoa grains as an alternative to bulgur in couscous production improved the cooking and chemical properties (higher crude protein, crude ash, crude fat, TFC, mineral matter and TDF) of the samples. In addition, couscous with a harder and brighter color was obtained. The use of quinoa flour instead of wheat flour in the coating material increased the cooking loss, although it gave chemically superior samples. As a result; it was determined that quinoa can be a new raw material alternative to bulgur in couscous production with its superior chemical properties. In terms of flour combinations, 50% wheat flour: 50% quinoa flour mixtures are suitable in terms of preserving structural properties.

En las últimas décadas, las ciencias biomédicas han logrado grandes aportes relacionados con la descripción del perfil fisiológico que exige ciertos deportes, permitiendo así establecer valores de referencia en algunos parámetros fisiológicos en deportistas de nivel elite, es decir, deportistas participantes en campeonatos internacionales. Esta información es de gran ayuda para que entrenadores puedan plantear objetivos de entrenamiento en sus programas de preparación, con suficiente argumentación y evidencia científica. El presente trabajo de revisión narrativa tiene por objetivo revisar la literatura científica sobre aspectos fisiológicos y de composición corporal en deportistas elite de taekwondo (Word Taekwondo Federation – WTF). La literatura analizada encontró en estos deportistas bajos niveles de porcentaje de grasa corporal, niveles moderados a altos de VO2máx al igual que altos niveles de potencia anaeróbica debido a las exigencias metabólicas que demanda la competencia, así como una moderada capacidad para generar fuerza explosiva en extremidades inferiores, y finalmente, una alta velocidad de reacción y velocidad gestual, indispensable para las acciones de defensa y contraataques.

Investigaciones en neurociencia han demostrado que la práctica regular de actividadfísica por medio del juego, pueden mejorar en los adolescentes el rendimientocognitivo y académico, debido al incremento del volumen del hipocampo,BDNF o factor neurotrófico derivado del cerebro, así como el aumento de la capilarizacióny flujo sanguíneo a nivel cerebral, entre otros. La gamificación es unaherramienta pedagógica emergente que consiste en emplear la psicología del juego,sus mecánicas y dinámicas en entornos no lúdicos.El objetivo del proyecto fue implantar la gamificación como metodología predominanteen Educación Física durante la segunda y tercera evaluación, en alumnosde 3º de ESO y 1º de Bachillerato de un centro de enseñanza público de laRegión de Murcia, empleando también el aprendizaje por proyectos, aprendizajebasado en retos, aprendizaje cooperativo y aprendizaje servicio, como metodologíasactivas para fomentar la práctica de actividad física y hábitos de vida saludablesen toda la comunidad educativa.Todos los alumnos que recibieron las sesiones gamificadas, afirmaron habersedivertido más en clase que en cursos anteriores. Mediante la observación del profesor,se constató como el nivel de participación de los alumnos se incrementó ycomo los alumnos considerados por el centro, disruptivos o absentistas, en EducaciónFísica tuvieron buenos resultados y comportamiento, así como menor absentismoque en el resto de materias.

El estado español tiene una media de carga lectiva semanal para la asignatura deEducación Física escolar, inferior a las tres horas que recomiendan los organismosinternacionales. A la par, la pandemia de obesidad infantil es uno de los primerosindicadores por los que se fomentan programas de actividad física en edad escolar.Sin embargo, no solo la salud en relación con el sobrepeso y la obesidad justificanuna carga horaria significativa de la Educación Física, sino qué, además, los múltiplesbeneficios de esta asignatura que le otorgan sus profesionales cualificados, sonmás que suficientes como para aumentar los periodos lectivos de la misma. Entreotros argumentos destacados se encuentran los siguientes: la educación física tieneimplicaciones positivas sobre el aprendizaje y el rendimiento, además la asignaturatambién puede ser una herramienta para trabajar los valores, la autoestima y la prevencióndel acoso escolar. Las instituciones públicas deberían tener en cuenta todoesto para generar un sistema educativo que aproveche todo el potencial que tiene laEducación Física, no solo en la formación integral, sino también en la salud.

This work aime to study the chemical composition and the main biological properties contained in the extracts of Lavandula stoechas and Pistacia lentiscus collected in northern Algeria. Lavandula stoechas and Pistacia lentiscus are two medicinal plants belonging to the botanical family Labiatae and Anacardeacea respectively. They are grow wild in the northen Algeria and widely used in traditional Algerian medicine. The GC/MS analysis of the essential oils of Lavandula stoechas extracted by hydrodistillation showed that the latter are of fenchone chemotype whatever the period and the site of harvest. LC/MS analysis of tannin powders extracted by maceration of the leaves in a hydroalcoholic solvent reveals that they mainly contain rosmarinic acid. Essential oils extracted from the leaves of Pistacia lentiscus showed a large variability in terpenoid. The antioxidant activity of the different essential oils varied according to the harvesting period and the altitude. The highest antiradical effects were observed with the FRAP test. An another side the Pistacia lentiscus extracts showed to have an α-glucosidase inhibition effect that was more or less impactful according to the plant’s living environment (mountain or littoral) and the considered organ (leaves, stem barks or fruits).
