CHALLENGES TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND SAFETY OF JOURNALISM IN UKRAINE
Authors: Piskorska Galyna
Published: January 2025

This study evaluates the dangers and challenges faced by journalists in Ukraine during Russia's full-scale war against the country. The war and the imposition of martial law aimed at ensuring national security have restricted the operational capabilities and freedom of the media. Independent media outlets face severe threats to the lives and work of journalists in occupied areas. Additionally, the Ukrainian authorities sometimes impede journalistic activities by restricting access, controlling information, and persecuting investigative journalists. The author, alongside representatives of the journalistic community and Western partners, asserts that the state's monopolization of the only news channel in Ukraine is unjustified. This research aims to foster broader discussions about the inherent threats that media can pose to national security and the rationale behind restricting freedom of speech during wartime. It is widely believed that high-quality investigative journalism, especially in times of conflict, plays a crucial role in ensuring public oversight of government actions. Such journalism compels the government to act more responsibly, aids in reducing corruption, and facilitates the adoption of essential decisions for the nation's well-being. Despite the restrictions imposed by the war, free and independent media in Ukraine have continued to operate throughout this time, maintaining high standards of their work. A preliminary analysis of scientific sources reveals a lack of comprehensive research on this topic. Individual works of scientists that partially address this issue are examined. Practitioners and specialised international organisations have documented the safety of journalistic activities and freedom of speech. The study employs various research methods, including analysis, observation, description, comparative analysis, analytical and synthetic information processing, generalization, and systematization. The need for continued efforts by Ukrainian media, supported by partners, to uphold the right to freedom of speech and information is emphasized.

Visión política de la prensa colorada durante el gobierno de Rafael Franco
Authors: González G. Erasmo
Published: January 2025

La revolución de febrero de 1936, desembocó en la caída del gobierno liberal de Eusebio Ayala; ante esa defenestración el Partido Colorado cifró sus esperanzas en las nuevas autoridades nacionales para volver al poder después de 32 años. Con el objetivo de demostrar las características de la prensa partidaria en el afán de tener el poder político, se analiza el caso de la prensa colorada en 1936, cuando sus medios impresos realizaron diferentes apreciaciones al estar en circulación durante el gobierno del coronel Rafael Franco. Para ello se emplea un análisis documental recurriendo a los artículos del diario Patria y la revista Guarania, órganos periodísticos que tuvieron como escritor al pensador colorado Natalicio González, donde desarrollaron campañas a favor o en contra del gobierno de acuerdo a las medidas adoptadas. Se concluye que el apoyo inicial de la prensa colorada terminó cuando no tuvo posibilidad de ser parte del poder, evidenciándose que las expectativas de un sector político ante un nuevo orden constituido son favorables al inicio; en la esperanza de alcanzar espacios de gobierno, pero al ser excluidos realizan críticas utilizando sus medios de prensa, generando la reacción del gobierno, que terminan clausurándolos.

Authors: Sri Kamba Wuna  , Rizka Mutmaina  , Via Zakiah  , Dwi Ayu Rahmawati  , Efa Kelya Nasrun
Published: January 2025

Overview: This study investigates the relationship between knowledge and attitudes about Antenatal Care (ANC) and the completeness of ANC visits among pregnant women in the service area of Poasia Health Center, Kendari City. It aims to identify factors influencing adherence to the recommended ANC schedule, a crucial aspect of maternal and fetal health.

Body of Knowledge: Guided by Green and Kreuter’s health behavior theory and Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior, this study underscores knowledge and attitudes as key predisposing factors in shaping health behaviors. Knowledge equips individuals with the information necessary for informed decision-making, while attitudes influence the intention to act. Despite their importance, external factors such as perceived barriers, social support, and behavioral control also play a role in determining health behavior outcomes.

Methods: The study used a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. Fifty respondents were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected and analyzed using the Chi-Square test to explore the relationship between the variables of knowledge, attitudes, and ANC visit completeness. This method facilitated a better understanding of how these factors interact to influence health behaviors.

Results: The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge and the completeness of ANC visits (p = 0.012), with respondents possessing good knowledge more likely to complete ANC visits. Conversely, no significant relationship was found between attitudes and ANC visits (p = 0.073), suggesting that positive attitudes alone are insufficient to ensure adherence.

Recommendation: To improve ANC adherence, interventions should include comprehensive education to enhance knowledge, strengthened family and community support systems, and the use of technology-based reminders. Health centers should conduct regular program evaluations and implement targeted strategies to address barriers, emphasizing the risks of incomplete ANC visits to ensure maternal and fetal health.

Challenges and opportunities: Implementing RPA and AI in fraud detection in the banking sector
Authors: Abhaykumar Dalsaniya  , Kishan Patel  , Priya R Swaminarayan
Published: January 2025

Integrating Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the banking sector for fraud detection is a significant change, but it comes with challenges and opportunities. With financial institutions subjected to ever more sophisticated fraud attempts, RPA and AI present themselves as a means of increasing capabilities to detect and prevent fraud. With RPA, repetitive tasks like transaction monitoring and alert generation can be automated, freeing human analysts to analyze complex cases. Machine learning and predictive analytics enable AI to learn patterns and anomalies within large amounts of datasets, identify anomalies, and provide warnings early to fraud activity.

Yet, these technologies still need to be integrated, and challenges persist. There are key issues of data privacy and security, integration with legacy systems, initial costs of implementation, and the like. Banks must operate in a world of ever-tightening regulatory control while maintaining the integrity and security of their systems.

However, the opportunities are great. With RPA and AI implemented, there would additionally be an increase in the accuracy and speed of fraud detection, resulting in less financial loss and more customer faith. In addition, these technologies are scalable and flexible, which means banks can change with the changing threats. There's also a compelling cost case: reductions over time, based on improved efficiency and reduced manual intervention, make these attractive investments.

Other best practices and lessons gained from these successful case studies are discussed. Also, the shift in future trends has been kept in mind, such as the future of AI technology and the changing regulatory environment, which will define the next generation of fraud detection in banking. The challenges to utilizing these technologies and their opportunities are revealed in a balanced view for the benefit of stakeholders so that they can utilize these technologies fully.

Authors: Fatiha Az-Zahra  , Widya Wahyuni  , Asma’ Sya’Bania
Published: January 2025

Background: The use of fixed orthodontic appliances can affect oral health as it may hinder proper tooth brushing and limit areas of the teeth with low saliva flow, increasing the likelihood of bacterial attachment and biofilm (plaque) formation. The use of chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash is one way to reduce plaque accumulation in the oral cavity.

Objective: The aim of this article is to assess the impact and mechanism of CHX mouthwash on the oral health of users of fixed orthodontic appliances, particularly in terms of plaque accumulation.

Results: Ten articles met the criteria and were used as secondary data in this article. The research types varied from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cross-sectional studies, to literature and systematic reviews. Users of fixed orthodontic appliances are at high risk for plaque formation, even with regular tooth brushing. CHX mouthwash can significantly reduce the number of bacterial colonies responsible for plaque formation in orthodontic users.

Conclusion: CHX mouthwash is considered an effective material to reduce plaque in users of fixed orthodontic appliances. However, the dosage of CHX should be carefully considered to minimize side effects.

Published: January 2025

The government emphasizes performance evaluation management for effective e-government services. This study aimed to determine whether the usage performance of information provided by the Construction Technology Information System affects the satisfaction of system usage in preparation for government policies. If so, it aimed to determine the level of influence. To this end, this study collected survey data on system usage satisfaction conducted annually from 2017 to 2023. During the same period, usage performance data was collected from the statistical DB managed by the Construction Technology Information System. Multiple regression analysis was conducted with satisfaction as a dependent variable. In addition, the degree of explanatory power and statistical significance between independent and dependent variables were verified through analysis such as coefficient of determination, variance, and F-test. Through analysis and verification, this study found that satisfaction increased as the number of visitors, searches, and downloads increased. However, satisfaction decreased as the number of page views increased. Therefore, in order to use the number of page views as an evaluation index, it was concluded that the number of page views should be reduced by displaying up to 100 search result information at a time and simplifying the page interface.

Structural map coverage for game map testing
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Lee Jeong Jun , Song Jiyoung
Published: January 2025

The visual elements of a game play an important role in increasing player satisfaction, and map design in particular serves as an essential evaluation criterion. Developers must implement optimized maps that increase immersion and are free of errors. Recently, as the map sizes of games have increased, the complexity of map design and testing has also increased. In large-scale maps, errors such as crashes or map departures are more likely to occur. These errors can hinder player immersion and reduce satisfaction. Therefore, effective map testing is essential to increasing player satisfaction. In this study, we propose a structural grid coverage technique to analyze the effectiveness of map testing and present effective applications. We experimentally show that we can analyze players’ field of view and movement paths using structural grid coverage. The experimental results show that selecting an appropriate grid size can simultaneously improve error detection and player satisfaction.

Némelyik játék táblája igen  hasonlít egy atlaszhoz. Más játékokra térképsorozatként tekinthetünk: az alapjátékhoz megjelent kiegészítők újabb táblákat adnak a játékhoz, amelyeken más-más térképek találhatók. A moduláris táblát használó játékok kisebb táblái tetszőleges sorrendben összeilleszthetők, ez garantálja az újrajátszhatóságot és változatosságot. Vannak olyan játékok is, amelyekben a játékos célja a térképlapkák (négyzet, hexagon vagy téglalap alakú) összeillesztése; általában ezzel tudnak a játékosok győzelmi ponthoz jutni.A fantáziatérképek képzeletbeli világokat ábrázolnak, ezzel segítik a játékosokat jobban beleképzelni magukat a játék világába. Afantáziavilágok ábrázolásánál gyakran használják az ortogonális és a madártávlati ábrázolásmódok kombinációját.

1702-ben jelent Heinrich Scherer új szemléletű világatlasza, amelynek címe Atlas Novus volt. A katolikus egyház történetének újszerű térképi ábrázolása a jeles jezsuita kartográfusnak Scherernek köszönhető. A 18. században több magyarországi születésű, jezsuita szerzetes foglalkozott a hittérítés mellett, azon térségek térképezésével, ahol térítő munkájukat is végezték. A rendtársai térképeinek felhasználásával Scherer új és modern adatokat is tartalmazó atlaszt alkothatott meg.
