Exploration of the Impact of Digital Labor on the Capital Production Process based on Big Data Algorithms
Authors: Haiyan Cheng
Published: January 2025

In the era of digital economy, the computing and storage capabilities of computers drive the rapid development of digital technologies such as big data algorithms. Digital capital relies on digital technology to establish digital enterprises, making digital labor a new form of labor. However, there is controversy in academia over whether digital labor creates value and surplus value. This article analyzes the impact of digital labor on capital production from the perspective of big data algorithms, and finds that although digital labor changes the premise of capital production, it still belongs to "productive labor" and can create value and surplus value. On the surface, digital enterprises provide free and flexible work, but in reality, they are conducive to capital production. By monitoring workers through big data algorithms, they ensure production efficiency and quality. This "zero cost" form of employment breaks the capital limit of increasing the number of employees and enables the rapid proliferation of digital capital. Therefore, digital labor has not changed the essence of capital production, but has made digital labor production appear "technologically invisible" through the use of digital technology.
Research on Reinforcement of Connection Nodes of Transmission Line Towers
Authors: Qiang Liu
Published: January 2025

The existing research on the reinforcement of transmission lines focuses on the main materials and foundations. To address the key issue of reinforcing the connection nodes between the upper structure and foundation of transmission line towers, a finite element model of this node was established using Abaqus, considering different stress conditions under natural disasters. Comparisons with the calculation results of both original and current specifications revealed that after reinforcing the upper structure, the weakest point is the shear failure of the connecting bolts between the shoe plate and the main material of the node, necessitating an increase in overall load-bearing capacity. Therefore, a node reinforcement plan compatible with the reinforcement type of the upper structure main material was proposed, which allows for construction without power outage and was verified through true type tests. This research on node reinforcement contributes to improving the service value of transmission lines and provides new insights for the reinforcement of similar prefabricated building nodes.

This paper explores the various ways in which social media influences voters' perceptions of the fairness of election rules, electoral opportunities, and their electoral intentions.
Objectives: To analyze the role of social media in affecting voters' understanding of election rules, the formation of public opinions, and the shaping of electoral intentions. The study aims to highlight the challenges posed by misinformation, the polarization of public opinion, and the potential for manipulation of voter behavior through social media platforms.
Methods:The research employs a comprehensive review of existing literature, case studies of recent U.S. presidential elections, and an analysis of social media trends and user interactions. It examines the efficiency and breadth of information transmission, the reliability of information, the risk of division and information filtering, and the promotion of voter mobilization and participation.
Results: The study finds that social media significantly impacts voters' perceptions of the fairness of election rules, with both positive and negative effects. On one hand, it facilitates the rapid and wide dissemination of election-related information, enhancing voter awareness and participation. On the other hand, it poses risks due to the spread of false information, the reinforcement of existing biases through algorithmic recommendations, and the potential for targeted political advertising to influence voter behavior.
Conclusions: Social media is a double-edged sword in the context of U.S. presidential elections. While it has the potential to increase civic engagement and political participation, it also introduces new challenges that threaten the integrity of the electoral process. The paper emphasizes the need for stronger regulations, improved platform responsibility, and enhanced media literacy among voters to ensure the fairness and transparency of elections in the digital age.
Mathematical and Statistical Tools for Ensuring Fairness in Computational Models
Authors: A. K.  Chaudhary
Published: January 2025

The rising use of computational models in decision-making within healthcare, hiring, and finance underlines that fairness is of pressing concern as a means for ensuring equity, building trust, and promoting accountability. This research systematically investigates mathematical and statistical methods to identify, measure, and reduce biases of the systems. It reviews basic concepts of fairness, such as demographic parity, equality of odds, and individual fairness; methods for detecting and mitigating bias. Techniques discussed range from pre-processing adjustments to in-processing constraints to post-processing optimizations toward trading off between fairness and predictive accuracy. Application cases include the case study on ICU admissions using the MIMIC-III dataset that practically illustrates how effectiveness can be ensured with the help of fairness-aware strategies. Where there was a big gap, it now greatly closes it in demographic parity, reducing disparities in true positive rates; therefore, proving reliability for these models through sensitivity and adversarial testing. This paper bridges the divide between theory and practice by presenting a comprehensive framework towards the consideration of fairness within computational systems. The presented work identifies prospects for enhancing equity while ensuring dependability and supplements a high-growth conversation about ethical practices in AI development.

Published: January 2025

Profit plays a pivotal role in the analysis of financial statements, reflecting an organization's capacity to effectively manage resources while shaping market perceptions regarding its financial stability and potential for future growth. The practice of income smoothing often emerges from conflicts of interest and asymmetrical information, allowing management to manipulate reported profits for personal or corporate gain, thereby presenting a façade of stability in earnings over time. This research aims to prove and test empirically how winner/loser stocks, financial risk, cash holding, and tax planning strategies on income smoothing within the property and real estate industries. Utilizing a quantitative methodology, secondary data was obtained from the annual and sustainability reports of firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the years 2021 to 2023. A purposive sampling method was employed to select a sample of 31 companies, with data spanning three years. The data was analyzed through logistic regression using SPSS 29. The findings reveal that the independent variables, when considered collectively, have a significant impact on income smoothing practices. Specifically, winner/loser stocks negatively affects income smoothing, while cash holding positively influences it. On the other hand, financial risk and tax planning do not exhibit any substantial impact.

Introduction. The number of patients suffering from asthma and obesity at the same time is increasing, which affects the severity of asthma. The active search for genetic markers characterizing the individual characteristics of human metabolism continues. Of particular interest are the genes associated with obesity.

Material and methods. In order to study the contribution of the rs4994 polymorphism of the ADRB3 gene to the course of the disease in children with BA associated with obesity, 161 children with BA were examined, including 59 patients with obesity of 1–3 stages. The examination included general clinical, functional, instrumental methods. The study of gene polymorphisms was carried out by the polymerase chain reaction method in real time.

Results. Studies of the clinical significance of the β3-adrenoreceptor gene polymorphism in patients with asthma with different disease course showed that patients with mild asthma, regardless of body weight, were significantly more likely to have the dominant Trp64Trp genotype of the ADRB3 gene. No associations of the Arg64 allele were found in patients with body mass index, but a relationship with an increase in glucose levels was determined.

Conclusion. Identification of genetic predictors of both AD and obesity is important for identifying individuals with an increased risk of developing this disease, which allows timely implementation of a set of preventive measures among them.

Introduction. Atopic rhinitis (AR) affects 10–24 % of the population in Russia, often manifesting itself in early childhood. AR is as one of the most prevalent allergic diseases, significantly impacting children’s quality of life, affecting their physical health, psychoemotional well-being, as well as social and educational aspects of life.

Materials and Methods. The study analyzed the responses from 43 children aged 6 to 17, presenting with exacerbations of allergic rhinitis. SNOT-22 test was used to assess the quality of life.

Results. The study identified a substantial deterioration in the quality of life among patients suffering from allergic rhinitis. The analysis revealed that nasal discharge (rhinorrhea) affected 27 (63 %) of the participants, nasal congestion impacted 19 (44 %) individuals, sneezing affected 16 (37 %) patients, coughing affected 15 (35 %) patients, and postnasal drip was observed in 9 (21 %) of the participants. These symptoms significantly impacted the physical and psychoemotional well-being of children, as well as their social activity and academic performance.

Conclusions. Hypoxia, induced by impaired ventilation of the respiratory tract, can negatively affect brain function, leading to decreased attention span, memory impairment, and cognitive dysfunction. The study results highlight the importance of a comprehensive approach to treating allergic rhinitis in children, which should encompass not only pharmacological interventions to alleviate symptoms but also educational programs both for parents and children. The SNOT-22 test proves valuable in everyday clinical practice for pediatricians and allergists, serving as an effective tool for dynamic monitoring both short-term and long-term effects of this condition’s therapy.

Published: January 2025

Introduction. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic diffuse parenchymal lung disease mainly in premature infants with a wide range of risk factors. In the tissues of the immature lung, inflammatory reactions are triggered with increased production of cytokines, which are controlled by candidate genes and contribute to the formation of BPD. The aim of the study was to study the clinical and anamnestic aspects of polymorphisms of cytokine genes IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNFa, regulating inflammation, as a predisposition factor for the development of BPD in children on the example of the Amur region.

Material and methods. 80 children were examined, 58 of them with BPD (the main group), 22 without this disease (the comparison group). Clinical and anamnestic data were collected, single nucleotide polymorphisms of IL-4 (C589T), IL-6 (C174G), IL-10 (G1082A, C592A, C819T), TNFa (G308A) genes were determined by Real-time PCR.

Results. Indicators of gestational age, body weight, and Apgar scores at the 1st and 5th minutes in children with BPD were lower than in the comparison group. In patients with BPD, 89.66 % of cases revealed the presence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in the neonatal period. When assessing the frequency of occurrence of polymorphic variants of cytokine genes, differences were revealed: in the main group, the GA genotype of the IL-10 gene (G1082A) was determined statistically significantly less frequently than in the comparison group (p < 0.05). Trends were noted in children with BPD with polymorphic variants of the following genes: IL-6 (C174G), IL-10 (G1082A), IL-10 (C819T), TNFa (G308A) — decrease in birth weight; IL-10 (G1082A), IL-10 (C819T) — increase RDS frequencies; IL-4 (C589T), IL-10 (G1082A), IL-10 (C819T), TNFa (G308A) — increased duration of ventilation; IL-6 (C174G), IL-10 (C819T), (C592A) — increased duration of CPAP.

Conclusions. In the conducted study, cytokine gene polymorphisms were detected in children with BPD in the region more often IL-4 (C589T) — CC; IL-10 (G1082A) — GG, AA; IL-10 (C592A) — CC and less frequently IL-4 (C589T) — CT; IL- 10 (G1082A) — GA; IL-10 (C592A) — CA. The noted trends in clinical and anamnestic data and information on the carriage of polymorphic variants of cytokine genes in children with BPD make it possible to develop prognostic scenarios for the development of BPD in the neonatal and postnatal periods.

Authors: Aktürk Sıraç
Published: January 2025

Osmanlı Devleti’nin kuruluşundan itibaren tesis edilen yargı teşkilatı, “Daire-i Adliye” şeklinde ifade edilip yönetim anlayışnın vazgeçilmez değeri olnuştur. Tanzimat önvesi ve sonrasında sürekli geliştirilen adalet sisteminin başarısı, adil bir padişahın güçlü ve itaatkâr bir ordu ile tebaaya hakim olmasıyla mümkün olabilmiştir. Bu yönetim anlayışı bağlamında taşraya tayin olunacak kadı seçimi hususunda oldukça seçici davranılmıştır. Zira ilgili mahalde görev yapacak olan kadı, tebaanın varlığı ve itaatını adaletle sağlamanın yanı sıra hem padişahın adli vekili hem de ordu ile tebaayı bağlayıcı bir rol ütlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, kadı mahkemesinde yaşanan yargılama süreci sonunda haksızlığa uğradığını düşünen şahısların en üst derecede yer alan Divan-ı Hümâyûn’a başvurma hakkına sahip olması oldukça önemli olmuştur. Ancak yerel mahkemelerde halledilmeyip Divân-ı Hümâyûn’a aksettirilen davaların çoğalması üzerine, artan bürokratik muamelatı kolaylaştırmak için önce 1649 yılından itibaren şikâyet defterleri ve 1742 yılından itibaren ise Ahkâm defterleri tutulmaya başlanmıştır. Ahkâm defterleri, padişah veya padişahın yetki verdiği makamlar tarafından çıkarılan dava konusuna dair hükümleri ihtiva etmektedir. Ahkâm defterlerine geçirilecek olan hükümlerin hangi taşra mahalline ait olduğu hususunda bir düzen geliştirip ilgili hükme erişimi daha hızlı sağlamak amacıyla Ahkâm defterleri 17 eyâlete ayrılmıştır. Bu eyâletlerden birisi, Halep Eyâleti olup bu kapsamda Halep Ahkâm Defteri serisi oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışmada, Halep Ahkâm Defteri serisinin Tanzimât döneminde kaydı tutulan tek ve serinin son cildi olan dokuz numaralı defter, şekil ve muhteva bakımından incelenmiştir. Bahsi geçen defterin ihtiva ettiği hükümlere dair özet malûmat verildikten sonra konu bakımından tasnife tabi’ tutulan hükümler, 1850-1881 yılları arasını kapsamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, adı geçen tarihler arasında Halep ve çevresinde yaşayan Müslüman ve gayrimüslim ahalinin dava konusu haline gelen şikâyetlerinin neler olduğu ve bu sorunlara yönelik olarak devletin ne tür tedbirler aldığı hususu üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu doğrultuda Dokuz Numaralı Halep Ahkâm Defteri’ndeki hükümler üzerinden Osmanlı’da ahalinin devlete ve devletin de ahaliye olan tutumunu hukuksal boyut önceliğinde ortaya koyabilmekte, zamanla devlet sisteminde ortaya çıkan bazı bozuklukların da izini sürebilmekteyiz. Bu çalışmada ayrıca hükümlerin içeriğinde verilen bilgiler doğrultusunda, eyâletin idâri ve sosyal yapısı hakkında da malûmat verilip değerlendirilmiştir.

Authors: Sarjito Aris
Published: January 2025

Public participation is a vital aspect of democratic governance, promoting transparency, accountability, and trust between governments and citizens. In Indonesia, public engagement in defense policymaking has been limited, often hindered by bureaucratic rigidity, lack of transparency, and societal perceptions that defense is an elite domain. This study explores the challenges and opportunities for fostering public participation in defense policymaking, focusing on its potential to strengthen trust and enhance policy legitimacy. Using a qualitative approach with secondary data, the research analyzes policy documents, government reports, and scholarly literature to uncover key patterns and insights. The findings highlight significant barriers, such as hierarchical bureaucratic structures, restricted access to information, and a general lack of public connection to defense issues. However, the study also identifies promising opportunities to enhance engagement, including leveraging digital platforms to reach a broader audience, collaborating with civil society and academic institutions, and adopting participatory governance models. Successful examples, such as community-driven disaster preparedness programs and participatory budgeting initiatives, illustrate the potential of inclusive approaches to build trust and improve policy outcomes. The study concludes that meaningful public participation is essential for ensuring defense policies align with societal needs and foster public trust. Addressing structural barriers and institutionalizing participatory mechanisms are key steps toward achieving this goal. These findings contribute to the growing discourse on participatory governance and provide practical recommendations for enhancing collaboration and inclusivity in defense policymaking.

Authors: Horan Timothy C. , Baer Michael R. , Shah Kishan S. , Wilde Jeffrey M. , Copp Steven N. , Bugbee William D.
Published: January 2025

Background:

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-established treatment option for advanced knee osteoarthritis, yet some patients remain unsatisfied after surgery. Evaluation of various psychosocial parameters may improve patient optimization and outcomes. The primary aim was to assess whether preoperative resilience remained stable and influenced decision regret postoperatively while the secondary aim was to evaluate its correlation with joint-specific and global health patient-reported outcome measures.

Methods:

A total of 1,269 patients undergoing elective unilateral TKA were included. Patients completed the Brief Resilience Scale preoperatively and postoperatively and were stratified into low, normal, and high resilience cohorts. Decision regret scale scores were obtained postoperatively, and patients were stratified into no regret, mild regret, and moderate/severe regret cohorts. Patients' knee pain and function were assessed using the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement survey. Physical and mental quality of life was measured using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-10).

Results:

Preoperatively, 8% of patients were categorized as having low resilience, 67% had normal resilience, and 25% had high resilience. Resilience among each cohort remained relatively static. A statistically significant negative correlation between Brief Resilience Scale and decision regret scale scores was observed at 12-month follow-up (P < 0.001). The high resilience cohort demonstrated the lowest decision regret scale scores at all time points. The low resilience cohort reported higher decision regret scale scores at all time points but had the most improvement over the 12-month follow-up (P < 0.001). Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement scores had a weak-to-low positive correlation with preoperative resilience (r = 0.29, P = 0.05). Preoperative resilience had a low positive correlation with PROMIS-10 Physical scores (r = 0.36, P < 0.05), but a moderately strong positive correlation with PROMIS-10 Mental scores (r = 0.47, P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Preoperative resilience can markedly influence decision regret after TKA. These findings are valuable because they can help surgeons appropriately counsel patients, leading to improved satisfaction after surgery.

Published: January 2025

Dengue virus (DENV) infection is still a global health problem. The severity of DENV infection is related to the high viral load and cytokine storm caused by excessive inflammation. There is no specific antiviral used for DENV. Meanwhile, the use of anti-inflammatory drugs for DENV is limited to patients with severe clinical symptoms. Interestingly, favipiravir (FVP) and quinine sulfate (QS) have been reported as repurposing drugs that can inhibit DENV replication. However, their anti-inflammatory activity in DENV infection has not been studied yet. Thus, the current study aimed to evaluate both antiviral and inflammatory activities of FVP and QS in Vero and PBMC cells. The FVP and QS antiviral activities were analyzed through half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) and half-maximal cytotoxicity concentration (CC50) values against DENV serotype-1 on Vero cells. The anti-inflammatory activities of FVP and QS were measured by the relative expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 cytokines, and the transcription factor NF-κB from DENV-1 infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in vitro. The results showed that the IC50, CC50, and selectivity index (SI) for FVP were 2.72 μg/mL, 156.78 μg/mL, and 58, respectively. Meanwhile, the IC50, CC50, and SI of QS were 14.97 μg/mL, 85.2 μg/mL, and 5.69. Also, FVP and QS reduced the expression of IL-6 and IL-10 but induced the expression of TNF-α, and the transcription factor NF-κB in PBMC with the presence of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). Further, FVP has better DENV-1 antiviral activities compared to QS. However, in comparison with QS, FVP showed lower anti-inflammatory activities. Further studies are needed to explore the antiviral and anti-inflammatory mechanism of FVP and QS in the DENV-infected models.

Background: The response to chemotherapy in TNBC varies greatly, highlighting the need for predictive factors to estimate the success of the therapy. Objective: The primary aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between Ki67 expression and clinicopathological features with chemotherapy response in locally advanced TNBC. Methods: This retrospective study utilized secondary data from the medical records of locally advanced TNBC patients at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Out of an initial sample of 50 patients, 35 met the inclusion criteria, which required a confirmed TNBC diagnosis through histopathological and immunohistochemical examination, as well as complete clinical data. Chemotherapy response was assessed based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, ensuring a standardized evaluation of treatment outcomes. Results: The majority of patients were aged ≥50 years (54.5%), with a dominant tumor size of 2–5 cm (69.7%) and high histological grading (Grade 3: 60.6%). A total of 45.5% of patients exhibited high Ki67 expression (≥30%). Chemotherapy response was categorized as complete response (12.1%), partial response (45.5%), stable disease (30.3%), and progressive disease (12.1%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between Ki67 expression and chemotherapy response (p=0.02), with patients exhibiting high Ki67 expression more frequently achieving complete or partial response. Conclusion: High Ki67 expression is a critical indicator for predicting chemotherapy response in TNBC. Integrating Ki67 assessment with other clinicopathological factors is highly recommended to enhance predictive accuracy and optimize therapeutic planning for more effective treatment outcomes.
A comparative study of cardiac autonomic functions in normotensive individuals with and without family history of hypertension
Authors: George Sandra , H Ahammed , Saran Ajay , Nair Nayana
Published: January 2025

Background:
Since genetic heredity accounts for 30% of blood pressure variance, it is seen that the possibility of early-onset hypertension linked to autonomic dysfunction is increased by parental history of hypertension. Hence, in offspring of hypertensive parents, recording blood pressure alone is insufficient and requires an assessment of cardiac autonomic functions.

Aim:
To analyze the cardiovascular autonomic functions of normotensive individuals with a family history of hypertension and compare it with that of age and gender-matched controls.

Methods:
Comparative cross-sectional study conducted in Government Medical College, Kozhikode among 158 subjects (79 normotensives with family history of hypertension and 79 age and sex-matched controls) of age group 18-30 years by simple random sampling. Ewing’s battery of cardiovascular autonomic function tests performed and assessed using 16 channel PHYSIOLAB with PHYSIOPAC software. SPSS 25 software for Windows with Unpaired T-Test was used for statistical analysis.

Results:
Significant increase in sympathetic response was observed in the study group, as compared to controls, presumably due to inherited vascular reactivity. Since autonomic responsiveness to stress serves as a predictor of neurogenic hypertension, the tilt towards sympathetic overactivity may indicate autonomic imbalance preceding the onset of hypertension.

Conclusion:
Increase in sympathetic activity observed in the study group emphasize the effect of genetic influence on hypertension. Early detection, especially in offspring of hypertensive parents, by employing cardiovascular autonomic function tests, helps in implementation of preventive measures that halt the progression of disease
Los bonos del Sistema Patria de Venezuela ¿Una política pública efectiva para la superación de la pobreza?
Authors: Ponce María Gabriela , Moreno María Antonia
Published: January 2025

Este trabajo presenta una aproximación al impacto del programa de transferencias monetarias (Bonos del Sistema Patria), como herramienta para aliviar la pobreza en Venezuela. La estrategia metodológica incluyó una descripción del contexto socioeconómico y fiscal y la estimación de la distribución del ingreso con base en datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Condiciones de Vida (ENCOVI) bajo dos escenarios, con y sin bonos. Los hallazgos muestran que los altos niveles de pobreza, así como su intensidad y severidad, no se modifican significativamente al considerar dicho programa. Detrás de estos resultados se encuentra su limitada capacidad compensatoria, que se relaciona con las severas restricciones presupuestarias y la aplicación de una política fiscal contractiva enmarcada en objetivos de estabilidad macroeconómica.

Implementing Gen AI for Increasing Robustness of US Financial and Regulatory System
Authors: Joshi Satyadhar
Published: January 2025

With Gen AI models becoming more evolved, their application in enhancing the robustness of the US Financial System is more viable. Financial risk modeling can take advantage of these development and aid regulatory framework by integrating these novel technologies to make their models more robust. In this work, we have used the latest Gen AI model by Open AI also known as Chat-GPT 4o and 40 mini and Google Gemini Version 2.0 and 1.5 to generate relevant questions from govt websites and measure the accuracy and relevance in checking the the pre trained logistic regression models. We have rated the accuracy of the questions by taking a survey of three Risk Analysts (volunteers) and found that Gen AI is 70-80% accurate in terms of the question for the models it generated. The new and the old model for open ai vs Gemini were compared. We have also documented how different models are sensitive to different prompts as they want to save computational cost and keep the output relevant. These questions generated can be used and integrated in the backend and auto curate the models under analyst supervision. We proposed a full stack framework as an end to end solution to address issues related to privacy and ethical considerations limiting exposure of property data and models. We have used all-MiniLM-L6-v2 as the bridging APIs for creating variants of the queries.
