Fake Review Detection System: A Review
Authors: Dr. Pankaj Kumar  , Alok Verma  , Anurag Srivastava  , Ayushi Pal
Published: June 2023

Fake reviews, often referred to as deceptive or dishonest reviews, have become a significant concern for both businesses and consumers (Feng et al., 2016). These reviews are deliberately crafted to mislead or manipulate the opinions of others and can be driven by various motives, such as financial gain, competition, or personal grudges (Liu et al., 2018). The impact of fake reviews on the reputation and sales of products or services can be substantial, leading consumers to make misguided purchasing decisions (Wang et al., 2017).
The demand for effective methods to detect and address fake reviews has been steadily increasing, aiming to assist businesses and consumers in identifying and mitigating the influence of such reviews (Hu et al., 2019). However, detecting fake reviews presents challenges due to the diverse forms they can take and the difficulty in distinguishing them from genuine reviews (Xu et al., 2020). To tackle this challenge, researchers have developed various approaches and techniques, including machine learning, natural language processing, crowd-sourced annotation, and content-based methods (Feng et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2018).
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in fake review detection methods, highlighting the key challenges and limitations associated with these approaches. The implications of these methods for businesses and consumers are also discussed, and future research directions are suggested to further enhance the effectiveness and reliability of fake review detection techniques.

Published: June 2023

Heart disease is a significant global health concern, accounting for a substantial number of deaths worldwide. Early prediction and detection of heart disease play a pivotal role in improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality rates. Machine learning techniques have demonstrated considerable potential in accurately predicting heart disease based on patient data. In this research paper, we propose a novel approach to heart disease prediction using machine learning algorithms, with a particular focus on creating a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) for enhanced accessibility and ease of use. The proposed approach leverages a diverse dataset encompassing demographic information, medical history, laboratory results, and diagnostic tests, providing a comprehensive view of a patient's health status. Multiple state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, including logistic regression, support vector machines, random forests, and artificial neural networks, are employed to build robust prediction models. These models are trained, validated, and evaluated using appropriate performance metrics to ensure accuracy and reliability. To facilitate practical implementation, a user-friendly GUI is designed to provide an intuitive interface for healthcare professionals and individuals without extensive programming or machine learning expertise.

Published: June 2023

Data transmitted across these networks must be secure and private given how large and rapidly expanding they are. Cloud servers are a key resource for data storage. Therefore, cloud servers must be protected and cannot be left open to the prospect of being utilized by hackers for theft or exposure. They require strategic plans for this to guarantee the data's security and privacy. The solution being proposed makes use of three approaches to guarantee data security. The plans involve data encryption, data distribution across several clouds, and granting data sharing authenticity by using a secret key alone. The system is first set up to allow data sharing across a secure channel of encryption using the Lightweight method. After that, data is dispersed among several clusters using the DROP technique, and data is replicated between clouds to prevent any loss. Only a third private key can explicitly grant those with a need for the information access to various data segments. Any unethical request to share data is detected by a trapdoor, which blocks the request and identifies the individual responsible for any data leakage.

Published: June 2023

The issue of demining reservoirs, rivers and sea raids and ports, which is relevant for Europe during the period of active deployment of military confrontations on its territory, is considered. Only in the maritime territorial waters of Ukraine and in the water areas of its freshwater reservoirs and rivers, during the year of the war, the enemy laid up to a thousand different mines. Demining of the Ukrainian water spaces of the sea, reservoirs and rivers is an important social and economic problem, the solution of which does not tolerate delay and waiting for the full end of hostilities. The purpose of the work is the development of principle schemes for optimizing the spatial movements of search and mine clearance vessels and the creation of algorithms for calculating the precise coordinates of the spatial location of floating, anchor and bottom mines by means of kinematic design. The research methodology was the application of the theory of mapping coordinates and trajectories of spatial movements of moving objects by means of graphic geometry, taking into account the specifics and dynamic features of kinematic design. A schematic diagram of the spatial location of search trawlers and UAVs or auxiliary search floats when searching for mines has been developed. Mathematical dependencies have also been established for the precise calculation of the coordinates of detected mines based on the data of the applied theory and kinematic design schemes. For the search for floating mines, the optimal trajectory of search movements of unmanned aerial vehicles along the Archimedean spiral is proposed. The optimal number of aircraft that search for floating mines at the same time has been determined. As one of the most effective options for the disposal of mines, their detonation with warheads dropped from an aerial liquidator drone has been proposed. The main result of the study is the creation of a methodology for calculating the refined coordinates of the search for floating, anchor and bottom mines in combination with the optimization of the trajectories of the search movements of aerial and floating search vehicles along the Archimedean spiral. This ensures not only a 25–30 % increase in surveyed and demined areas, but also a proportional saving of fuel due to a reduction in the number of crossings of search trawlers. It has been established that at speeds of spatial movements of search aircraft or auxiliary floating means of 5÷5.5 m/s, using the proposed search scheme, it is possible to survey up to 6 square kilometers of sea water area every hour. At the same time, it is possible to save up to a third of the cost of expensive fuel due to the reduction of movements of the trawler boat.

Published: June 2023

Research on honey is important from the standpoint of product quality and consumer protection. According to legislation in many countries, including Ukraine, honey is considered a food product and is subject to mandatory certification and labeling. Research on the physicochemical properties of honey is important for determining its quality and detecting falsification. This article is dedicated to the study of the quality of honey from various botanical and one regional source. Organoleptic and physicochemical properties of the honey were determined, as well as a comparison with a falsified sample. The results of the analysis showed that different varieties of honey have different physicochemical properties. The highest diastase number was found in buckwheat honey, while the lowest was found in linden honey. The mass fraction of sucrose was highest in buckwheat honey and lowest in sunflower honey. The water content was in the range of 18.4–21 %, with buckwheat and sunflower honey having similar values. The pH value was lowest in buckwheat honey and highest in linden honey. Research on the organoleptic properties showed that buckwheat honey has a dark brown color, pleasant aroma and taste without foreign flavors, and a viscous consistency. Sunflower honey has a golden-yellow color, bright and delicate aroma, sweet taste without foreign flavors, and a viscous consistency. Linden honey has a pale yellow color, pleasant and delicate aroma, sweet taste without foreign flavors, and a viscous consistency. Flower honey has a light brown color, pleasant aroma and taste without foreign flavors, sweet and tart, and a viscous consistency. The results of the comparison of buckwheat honey with falsified honey showed that the diastase number, mass fraction of sucrose and water, as well as the pH value in the honey were within normal range, while in the falsified sample the values of these indicators were different. These results indicate that falsified honey based on sugar syrup can be detected using physicochemical analysis. Therefore, a study of honey from various botanical and one regional origin showed that its physicochemical properties differ depending on the variety. Comparison of buckwheat honey with counterfeit honey based on sugar syrup has shown that the counterfeit can be detected by physicochemical analysis.

An egg is an ecological food product containing protein, balanced vitamins, trace elements, and essential amino acids in the correct ratio. At the same time, egg albumin is an obligate allergen with no species specificity; consuming eggs from other birds does not eliminate the risk of an allergic reaction. The development of an allergy to chicken eggs in children, manifested by exudative diathesis, is especially likely. Allergy to egg protein leads to deterioration of the quality of life and health; therefore, its detection in food products is relevant today. The article contains information on the validation of the method of determining the egg protein content in food products by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method and the main parameters for assessing the suitability of this method. The quantitative determination of processed chicken egg protein in food products was validated using the Ridascreen Egg ELISA test system, R-Biopharm, based on the State Research Institute for Laboratory Diagnostics and Veterinary-Sanitary Examination. The material for the study was negative samples of the matrix and enriched samples of CRM (certified reference material cake mix). Validation of the method for the quantitative determination of processed chicken egg protein in food products was carried out by determining and evaluating the following parameters: the limit of detection, quantification, convergence, reproducibility, accuracy, and uncertainty. The ELISA method for quantitatively determining processed chicken egg protein in food products has been successfully tested and meets the requirements of EU Commission Regulation 2002/657; all validation parameters are within acceptable limits. The method is suitable for food research and recommended for testing laboratories.

Published: June 2023

In this paper we consider how grassroots community partnerships can transform academic spaces into creative and interactive sites of Indigenous agency and advocacy. Focusing on two projects based in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal), we bring these initiatives into a discussion that takes into account the larger context of documentary filmmaking in the territory often referred to as Québec. We address how each project uses care and collaboration towards a practice of visual sovereignty.
We start with a discussion of the First Peoples’ Postsecondary Storytelling Exchange (FPPSE), an Indigenous led, multi-institutional, five-year initiative using decolonizing film and research methods to understand the needs and aspirations of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis post-secondary learners. This multi-year project involved 22 communities, 10 nations and generated over 100 video stories. The group used talking circles, filmmaking, and community engagement as methods to validate indigenous ways of learning and teaching. The facilitators created safe space through the sharing of food, the attentiveness to languages, the foregrounding of shared decision making, interactive methods and more. Following this, we discuss Circle Visions, a settler-initiated partnership project based at Concordia, which has collaborated with the non-profit Wapikoni Mobile since 2016 to facilitate care-full creative spaces on the university campus for emerging Indigenous artists. This initiative features an annual cross-platform media-making Summer Institute for Indigenous filmmakers with workshops focusing on animation, experimental video, podcasting, documentary, and 360-degree / VR filmmaking as a tool for decolonization.  We reflect on how we can activate decolonized documentary spaces within existing settler institutions and use care-full methods to unsettle hierarchies, promote well-being, and foster Indigenous productions. We then offer some context about the documentary traditions that we are building on within the place now known as Quebec.

Exploring the Structural Metaphors in the Daily Conversations of Persian Speakers in Afghanistan
Authors: Seraj Muhammad Yaqoob , Mujadidi Zubair Ahmad
Published: June 2023

This research paper explores the use of structural metaphors in the daily conversations of Persian speakers and examines how these metaphors reveal deeper human experiences. In this kind of metaphor, a notion from one area is frequently utilized to create another (debate and controversy, which is a subjective idea but has a cultural element), such as war as a physical or cultural phenomena. Persian daily speech is known for using imagery and symbols, and animal metaphors are a significant aspect of this tradition. This paper analyses war metaphors used in the daily conversation of people in Afghanistan and delves into the meaning and symbolism behind each metaphor. The study was conducted using both field research and library research techniques. Each metaphor was analysed in detail, with a focus on the conflict and debate themes, their characteristics, and how they are used to convey deeper meanings. Through this analysis, this paper aims to uncover the use of animal metaphors as a means of revealing a deeper understanding of the metaphors in the Persian context.

Students’ Perceived Academic Self-Efficacy by Gender and Subject Domain
Authors: Mamnoun Sanae , Nfissi Abdelhamid , Naguim Mariame
Published: June 2023

The aim of this study is to test for possible gender variations in student perceived self-efficacy across six subject areas. More specifically, it examines whether students would rate their perceived self-efficacy in stereotypically male-dominated and female-dominated academic subject domains with respect to the gender variable. A self-designed questionnaire was employed to collect data from 367 high school students in different Moroccan public high schools. The data were then analyzed using Principal component analysis to identify the factors that contribute to the variance. T-tests were used to account for possible gender differences in students’ perceived academic self-efficacy. The results revealed that male students displayed higher self-efficacy scores in mathematics and sciences while female students showed higher self-efficacy scores in languages. This might reinforce the stereotypical belief that males and females are better in masculine and feminine subjects, respectively. Unexpectedly, female students exhibited higher scores than males in philosophy and in the perceived overall academic self-efficacy. Recommendations for educational practice are discussed.

This research examines Watopute Grammar School and its development dynamics from 1925-2021. The specific aims of the study are (1) to explain the background to the founding of the school; (2) to describe the dynamics of the development of the school in the period of 1925-2021. This research uses the historical method, which consists of five stages of research, namely: (a) Selection of topics, (b) Heuristics, (c) Verification, (d) Interpretation, (e) Historiography. The results of this study show that, first, the establishment of the Watopute Grammar School in 1925 was due to the need for labor by the Dutch East Indies government to become administrative staff, forestry foremen, and teak processing factory workers. In addition, there was a mission from the Dutch East Indies government to improve the quality of human resources, especially the Muna nobilities, because they had an essential role in the area. Second is the dynamics of the development of the grammar school; During the Dutch East Indies era, the school was known as Volkshool. Teaching staff were brought in from Ambon and Manado, while students were from various districts in Muna. In the teaching and learning process at the school using simple facilities and infrastructure, the curriculum consists of alphabet, Indonesian, conversation, and arithmetic subjects. During the Japanese period, the Watopute Grammar School did not experience significant changes and only occurred in the field of curriculum. Japan uses a curriculum consisting of subjects, Japanese language, history, natural sciences, geography, regional languages, physical education, and Indonesian. After independence, Watopute Grammar School underwent a name change starting from SDN 5 Raha in 1946, the name changed to SDN 6 Kontunaga in 2001, and it became SDN 1 Watopute in 2014.

This research paper explores the linguistic profile of a six-year old autistic boy who acquired the English language without receiving formal instruction. The study tries to shed light on the child’s linguistic abilities in the light of Chomsky’s innateness theory. This paper uses participant observations and informal questioning to collect data covertly in a naturalistic setting which is the school. The findings of the study revealed that school boy has a functional and communicative use of the English language, which exceeds basic knowledge. His early exposure to YouTube videos in English made him fully conversational, even verbose, contrary to his state when he is using the Moroccan dialect, a fact that implies that English might be his L1 language.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by rapid growth and high metastatic capacity. It has strong epidemiologic and biologic links to tobacco carcinogens. Although the majority of SCLCs exhibit neuroendocrine features, an important subset of tumors lacks these properties. Genomic profiling of SCLC reveals genetic instability, almost universal inactivation of the tumor suppressor genes TP53 and RB1, and a high mutation burden. Because of early metastasis, only a small fraction of patients are amenable to curative‐intent lung resection, and these individuals require adjuvant platinum‐etoposide chemotherapy. Therefore, the vast majority of patients are currently being treated with chemoradiation with or without immunotherapy. In patients with disease confined to the chest, standard therapy includes thoracic radiotherapy and concurrent platinum‐etoposide chemotherapy. Patients with metastatic (extensive‐stage) disease are treated with a combination of platinum‐etoposide chemotherapy plus immunotherapy with an anti‐programmed death‐ligand 1 monoclonal antibody. Although SCLC is initially very responsive to platinum‐based chemotherapy, these responses are transient because of the development of drug resistance. In recent years, the authors have witnessed an accelerating pace of biologic insights into the disease, leading to the redefinition of the SCLC classification scheme. This emerging knowledge of SCLC molecular subtypes has the potential to define unique therapeutic vulnerabilities. Synthesizing these new discoveries with the current knowledge of SCLC biology and clinical management may lead to unprecedented advances in SCLC patient care. Here, the authors present an overview of multimodal clinical approaches in SCLC, with a special focus on illuminating how recent advancements in SCLC research could accelerate clinical development.

Time passes very quickly. It seems that the first BalticSTE symposium took place quite recently. However, eight years have already passed since the first symposium. During this time, when there is a rapid change in all areas of life, a lot has undoubtedly changed. The issues that were discussed during the first symposium have changed significantly. As an example, we can mention the possibilities of (AI), in this case, in the field of education. For example, last year saw the launch of ChatGPT, a chatbot programme that responds to text messages. It is a large language model developed by OpenAI that is trained to analyse and generate text in various contexts. This is just one example showing a rapid change in science and technology. It is gratifying that great attention is paid to these issues and to scientific articles published in this publication.

Environmental problems are faced all over the world. The quality of the environment has a tendency to deteriorate, so environmental education becomes one of the essential conditions for continued existence. In order to improve the situation, it is necessary to raise public awareness and encourage behaviour change. It is obvious that environmental education is needed, which would raise people’s level of awareness, and encourage them to change their behaviour, accordingly, changes would take place in the field of production and industry, consumption habits, and the relationship with the environment itself. Environmental education is especially important in primary school. In forming children’s environmental awareness, a great responsibility falls on the primary school teacher, therefore his preparation in the field of environmental education must be adequate. Empirical qualitative research aimed to reveal how future primary school teachers understand the meaning of environmental education, the topic, and what kind of realisation vision they have. 136 students from two Lithuanian universities, future teachers of preschool and primary education participated in the study. Verbal research data were analysed using the quantitative content analysis method. The research results allow us to state that environmental education is treated as significant, the themes of environmental education cover various areas that can and should be studied in primary school. Future teachers’ environmental education implementation vision at school includes both cognitive and practical-behavioural components. Keywords: environmental education, qualitative research, primary school, pre-service teachers

Published: June 2023

Science actions represent specific initiatives and demarches that involve investigation, experimentation, and even research, for raising the interest of the young generation in science, through particular approaches of STEM education. Important topics are promoted to students in various approaches, addressing nowadays problems, answering scientific questions, or trying to make them aware of sensible issues. In this respect, the topic of plastics biodegradability embraced the clothes of a Science action, a format based on the Care-Know-Do model, proposed in the frame of the CONNECT project. Having the view to evaluating the students’ interest in science after the implementation of the project-designed science actions, the partnership proposed a 5-point Likert scale instrument. In Romania, 373 students who participated in the Biodegradable Plastics action expressed their feedback, underlining - in an important proportion - their strong confidence in science, being ready to participate in collaborative science projects or benefit from their family support who consider that understanding and knowing science is useful for the entire life. Moreover, the students offered positive feedback related to teachers’ ability to emphasize the importance of science for their life and future, but also in society, in general.

Published: June 2023

Mosquito diversity, abundance, density, and habitats were studied at four selected breeding areas in Dhaka city from December 2015 to April 2016. A total of 3214 individuals of 10 mosquito species belonging to 3 genera namlely Culex (7spp.), Aedes (2spp.), and Anopheles (1sp.) were documented during the study period. The Cx. quinquefasciatus (37.83%) was found the highest in number followed by Cx. vishnui (16.74%), Cx. tritaeniorhynchus (16.21%), Cx. gelidus (9.40%), Cx. hutchinsoni (9.12%), Cx. fuscocephala (2.77%), Cx. vagans (2.21%), Ae. aegypti (3.17%), An. annularis (2.77%), and Ae. albopictus (1.15%). Maximum number of mosquitoes were found in Hazaribagh (1178 individuals), followed by Badda (1128 individuals), Demra (594 individuals), and Sutrapur (314 individuals). Mosquitoes were plentiful in March, regardless of species distribution which was influenced by rainfall and the lowest was in February. Eighteen different habitats of the mosquitoes were identified. The Simpson’s Index (λ= 0.18) and Shanon’s Diversity Index (H′= 1.93) indicated maximum mosquito diversity at Demra thana where species richness was 3.24. However, the Sutrapur thana (λ= 0.34, H′ =1.34) was minimum in which species richness had 2.40. The Species Evenness in the Demra thana (J′= 0.84) indicated that the species were evenly distributed whereas the Sutrapur thana (J′= 0.69) was comparatively less evenly distributed. The highest Community Dominance was 76.11% for the Sutrapur and the lowest was 49.66% for the Demra. Sorenson's Coefficient (CC) was 0.76 indicating that there was considerable overlap or similarity across the four communities.
