Türkiye’de Süs Bitkisi Potansiyeli Olan Bazı Genetik Kaynaklarımızın Morfolojik Karakterizasyonu
Authors: Haspolat Gulden , Şenel Ümran
Published: December 2024

Türkiye’de süs bitkisi olarak kullanılabilen pek çok tür doğal olarak yayılış göstermektedir. Mevcut biyoçeşitliliğimizin süs bitkileri açısından değerlendirilerek yeni türlerin süs bitkisi olarak kullanımı için çoğaltması ve ıslah çalışmalarında yer alması oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada; Türkiye florasından toplanarak Ege Tarımsal Araştırma Enstitüsü Ulusal Tohum Gen Bankası’nda muhafazaya alınmış süs bitkisi türlerine ait tohumlarda üretim yenileme çalışmaları ve bu türlerin morfolojik karakterizasyonu amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç ile üretim yenileme çalışmaları kapsamında Anthemis, Agrostemma, Datura, Calendula ve Tagetes gibi bazı bitkilerde çiçeklenme döneminde morfolojik karakterizasyonlar yapılmıştır. Türlere ait tanımlama listeleri oluşturularak bitki boyu, bitki çapı, çiçek boyu, çiçek çapı, yaprak sayısı, yaprak boyu vb. gibi özellikler ölçülmüştür. Bitkiler bitki büyüklükleri, çiçek ve yaprak özellikleri açısından farklılıklar göstermiştir. Morfolojik karakterizasyonları yapılmış bitkilere ait üretim yenileme işlemleri tamamlanmış tohumlar Ulusal Tohum Gen Bankası’nda koruma altına alınmıştır. Dünyanın yüz yüze olduğu iklim değişikliği gibi faktörler göz önüne alındığında doğal kaynaklarımıza ait bitkilerin korunması ve muhafaza altına alınması ülkemiz için oldukça değerli iken süs bitkileri açısından sahip olduğumuz zenginliğimizin özenle korunması için etkili çözümler geliştirilmeli, kültüre alma ve yeni çeşitlerin ulusal geliştirilerek yaygınlaştırılması desteklenmelidir.

Authors: Özdemir Abdullah Tayyip , Mutlu Mustafa Doruk
Published: December 2024

Günümüz dünyasında işletmelerin kar elde etmenin yanında çevrelerinde ya da toplumda gelişen olaylara da duyarlı olmaları beklenmektedir. Sürdürülebilirlik anlayışı kapsamında ele alınan bu ek sorumlu davranışlar sayesinde dünyamızın gelecek nesiller içinde yaşanabilir bir yer kılınması açısından önem arz etmektedir. Özellikle insanlığın yaşamını tehdit eden küresel ısınma ve buna bağlı olarak gelişen iklim değişiklikleri doğa üzerinde ciddi etkisi olan işletmelerinde aktif olarak sorumluluk almasını gerektirmektedir. Ek olarak günümüz toplumlarının temel yapı taşlarından biri olan işletmelerin bulundukları toplumlardaki sosyal ve ekonomik gelişmelere duyarsız kalmaması istenmektedir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında sürdürülebilir işletmeler, arsa seçimi, bina inşası, üretim ve pazarlama gibi işletme fonksiyonlarının işleyişi ve atık yönetimi gibi konularda çevresel, sosyal ve ekonomik sürdürülebilirliğin devam ettirilmesini de gözeten kararlar almalıdırlar. İşletmelerde Sürdürülebilirlik anlayışının oluşmasında liderlik, örgüt kültürü, etik kodların ve sürdürülebilir değer yaratmaya yönelik bir vizyonun benimsenmiş olmasının önemi büyüktür. Mevcut çalışma da işletmelerde sürdürülebilirlik kavramını derinlemesine inceleyerek işletmelerin neden sürdürülebilir bir anlayış geliştirmeleri gerektiği ve bu yolda neler yapılması gerektiği sorularına cevaplar üretmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
İşletmelerde Sosyal Sürdürülebilirlik
Authors: Dil Şahin Meltem
Published: December 2024

Bir işletmenin sosyal sorumluluğu kar etme, yasalara uyma, ahlaklı olma ve iyi bir vatandaş olma yükümlülüklerini içermektedir. Bu açıdan işletmelerin sosyal, etik, ekolojik kaygıları ekonomik konularla uyumlu hale getirmek için finansal kârlılığı çevresel ve sosyal faydalarla birleştiren stratejiler geliştirmeleri gerekmektedir. Buna göre işletmeler için ekonomik performans kadar, sosyal ve çevresel performans da önemlidir.  Özellikle 90`lı yıllardan itibaren işletmelerin ekonomik, çevresel ve sosyal açıdan sorumlulukları “sürdürülebilirlik” olgusu ile dikkat çekmeye başlamıştır. İşletmelerin de sürdürülebilirliğin temel ilke ve hedeflerini izleyerek kendi değerlerini, ilkelerini ve amaçlarını oluşturarak sürdürülebilirlik uygulamalarını gerçekleştirmesi beklenmektedir. İşletmelerde sürdürülebilirliğin doğrudan etkisi ekonomik ve çevresel boyutlarda gözlemlenebilirken, kademeli değişimleri içermesi ve kültürel sonuçların uzun vadeye yayılması gibi nedenlerle dolaylı etkisi sosyal boyutlarda ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Buna bağlı olarak, işletmelerin toplumsal yaşamda uzun vadeli, kalıcı ve yapıcı katkı sağlayabilmesi için sabırlı, gerçekçi beklentilerle, vizyoner bir yaklaşımla sosyal sürdürülebilirlik faaliyetlerine odaklanmaları önerilmektedir. Bu açıklamalar ışığında bu bölümde öncelikle kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk kavramına ilişkin açıklamalara yer verilmekte, ardından sosyal sürdürülebilirlik kavramına geçiş yapılarak işletmelerde sosyal sürdürülebilirlik göstergeler, performans, kültür ve stratejiler kapsamında açıklanmaktadır.

Preferible en els registres formals
Authors: Royo Carles
Published: December 2024

Les tres gramàtiques normatives publicades des del 2016 per l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans (IEC) utilitzen l’adjectiu preferible per indicar que una determinada opció lingüística té un ús preferent en els registres formals. Al costat de l’opció preferible se’n recull una altra d’alternativa, la interpretació de la qual ha presentat un cert debat sobre si és també una opció adequada en els registres formals o si pertany als registres informals. L’objectiu d’aquest article és analitzar, en el conjunt dels textos normatius actuals de l’IEC, uns quants fenòmens lingüístics que presenten aquestes dues opcions jerarquitzades, per esbrinar com concep l’agent codificador aquesta marca normativa i com considera les opcions no preferibles alternants. La conclusió que se n’extreu és que les opcions alternatives no són adequades en els registres formals, una interpretació restrictiva de la marca “preferible” que els documents normatius posteriors a la Gramàtica de la llengua catalana (GIEC), de l’any 2016, fan més evident.

Artificial intelligence and natural language processing for easy-to-read texts
Authors: Saggion Horacio
Published: December 2024

Access to information is a fundamental human right that contributes to freedom of expression and self-determination. However, information availability alone is not enough: the way in which information is expressed and presented on paper or in digital format can be extremely complicated to understand and act upon for a highly diverse set of people with varying ranges of reading, writing and understanding abilities. For a long time, artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) have dedicated research efforts in the field of automatic text simplification to the development of methods to automate the production of easy-to-read texts. However, in spite of AI hype, the problem persists. Current NLP models such as large language models (LLMs) are still not well understood, and their use in the development of text simplification needs careful assessment. In this paper, having identified the need for easy-to-read, accessible texts, we provide a light overview of current methods in NLP and provide a lay explanation of several techniques applied to lexically and syntactically modified texts to make them simpler to read and understand. We conclude by raising awareness on the use of general tools to address this very challenging problem that can affect contemporary lives.
La claredat com a criteri del llenguatge administratiu i jurídic a Andorra
Authors: Pujol Palau Marta , Gabernet Piqué Anna
Published: December 2024

La comunicació clara ha estat sempre un criteri implícit en la tasca d’assessorament i correcció desenvolupada pel Servei de Política Lingüística del Govern d’Andorra. Des de finals del segle XX fins a l’actualitat, també s’observa una cura especial d’altres serveis, departaments i institucions per posar el llenguatge administratiu i jurídic a l’abast de tothom a partir de fer-lo clar i accessible. En aquesta nota ens hem proposat resumir i explicar algunes iniciatives que parteixen d’aquest objectiu. La creació i el funcionament del Servei de Tràmits, un servei de finestreta única, n’és el primer exemple. Altres exemples en són l’esforç de l’Administració de justícia per facilitar eines de comunicació a batlles, magistrats i personal tècnic; les disposicions per al procés de digitalització de l’Administració; les adaptacions a la lectura fàcil d’alguns textos d’Afers Socials, o els apartats del web sobre el possible acord d’associació d’Andorra amb la UE. La Llei 6/2024, de 25 d’abril, de la llengua pròpia i oficial és un nou instrument per protegir l’ús i el coneixement del català com a signe d’identitat, i també ofereix mecanismes d’intercanvi i comunicació entre les institucions i la societat civil per afrontar els nous reptes de futur.
ШЕТ ТІЛІ ПРЕДЛОГТАРЫН ТҮСІНДІРУ БАРЫСЫНДА КОГНИТИВТІК ЛИНГВИСТИКАНЫ ҚОЛДАНУ
Authors: Кереева А.А.
Published: December 2024

Тақырыптың өзектілігі қазіргі зерттеулерде лингводидактика мен әдістемедегі когнитивті лингвистиканың жетістіктерін жүзеге асырудың жолдары мен тәсілдері кеңінен талқыланатындығына байланысты. Мұндай зерттеулерде предлогтарды қолдану ерекшеліктерін түсіндіруге көп көңіл бөлінеді. Белгілі жайт, предлогтардың көпшілігі (әсіресе бастапқы) көп мағыналы, оларды үйрену қиын, оларды қолдану көбінесе ана тілінің араласуына әкеледі. Дәстүрлі оқулықтарда кез-келген предлогтың негізгі мағыналарын немесе оның мағыналарының бүкіл тізімдерін механикалық түрде жаттау ұсынылады, ал мұндай тізімдердегі мәндер бір-бірімен байланысты емес. Когнитивті лингвистика предлогтарды зерттеуге балама тәсілді ұсынады, оның негізінде предлогтың әртүрлі мағыналары өзара байланысты және радиалды типтегі құрылымды құрайды деген пікір жатыр. Когнитивті лингвистика шеңберіндегі предлогтардың полисемиясын талдау кезінде адамның тұжырымдамалық жүйесі оның абстрактілі идеялар мен ұғымдарға ауысатын перцептивті және моторлық тәжірибесіне байланысты екендігі ескеріледі. Мақаланың мақсаты - шет тілі предлогтарын қолдануды түсіндіруде когнитивті лингвистиканың жетістіктерін қолдану бойынша зерттеу нәтижелерін ұсыну. Когнитивті лингвистика шеңберіндегі предлогтардың полисемиясын талдау кезінде адамның тұжырымдамалық жүйесі оның абстрактілі идеялар мен ұғымдарға ауысатын перцептивті және моторлық тәжірибесіне байланысты екендігі ескеріледі. Жұмыстың практикалық маңыздылығы оның нәтижелерін шет тілі сабақтарында предлогтарды оқытудың тиімді тәсілдерін әзірлеуде қолдану мүмкіндігімен анықталады.

RAGAM DIMENSI PEMBELAJARAN ILMU PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM
Authors: Miswari Miswari
Published: December 2024

Education is an important element in human life that requires serious treatment in various dimensions, namely the outer and inner dimensions. The birth dimension requires extensive and detailed techniques and handling. The inner dimension requires in-depth philosophical study. This article discusses various dimensions in the study of Islamic religious education in higher education. The success of implementing Islamic religious education is largely determined by the outer and inner dimensions. The inner dimension includes the formation of a foundation for understanding humans and their knowledge systems, while the outer dimension is the technical aspects that need to be prepared so that the objectives of implementing the Islamic religious education program can be achieved. This qualitative research uses literature related to the research subject as the main data source. The data was then analyzed systematically. The results of the research show that in the inner dimension, educational attention to the philosophical dimension needs to make the Al-Qur'an a foundation for knowledge that is approached through a variety of epistemologies of knowledge. Meanwhile, in the external dimension, the implementation of Islamic religious education must pay attention to the preparation of learning participants in line with community needs, set standards for learning institutions, and focus on deepening learning approaches and methods.
Youth Activists in Climate Protests: Objectives, Causes and Trends
Authors: Anandhan Padmashree
Published: December 2024

The pandemic, followed by geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, has made us realise the next significant threat to humanity: climate change, but this has also resulted in widening the gap in government policies as they shift to giving prominence to security and economic problems. Talks on climate change are not a new norm; they have been there since the 1820s. The new standard now is the invention of Youth Activists and the increasing protests for climate action across the globe. To analyse the movement of these protests and the protestors (youth activists), the driving factors for these protests, demands, and the nature of these protests are to be considered. Lastly, the responses and outcomes of these protests will be analysed to determine whether these movements are making a difference. The paper will address whether these young leaders are provoking, actualising, or making an impact.
Re-Defining Literary Sensibilities through Film Studies
Authors: Kumar L. Sugantha
Published: December 2024

Literature and cinema are creative expressions of human intellect. To enrich the artistic landscape, individuals continually explore diverse techniques to convey human experiences. From the outset, greater enthusiasm should be directed towards integrating cinema with literature. Both mediums have long histories, with the 19th century marking a steady development in their interplay as creative forms. Film, once closely tied to visual arts such as photography and painting, emerged as a distinctive medium. Literature, by contrast, was traditionally confined to print media, offering a fixed format for poetic, narrative, and dramatic works—all of which represent the written word. The literary canon includes works of poetry, novels, short stories, and drama. Achieving transcendence in human knowledge and imagination is a common goal of literature and film. The advancement of human civilization is aided by both literature and cinema. They are complementary, just as letters and sounds in human communication cannot be substituted for one another. Both literature and film have the power to uplift and delight audiences. In addition to elevating human intellect, they do this via human lifelike recreation, language, and visuals. Genre adaptations in literature have been around for a long time. Movies can draw inspiration from various mediums, including the stage, novels, music, and painting. Stage, lighting, movement, gesture, character, subject, perspective, rhythm, repetition, colour, and counterpoint are all derived from these several sources.

Horia Sima. Memorie și mistificare
Authors:   Institutul de Filologie Română „Alexandru Philippide”, Academia Română, Filiala Iași, Axinte Șerban
Published: December 2024

The present paper deals in a descriptive-analytical manner with Horia Sima`s memoirs published under the title Era of Freedom. The national-legionary state. Such a pro domo writing must be examined with great suspicion, however, because it represents nothing more than an attempt to contradict a historical truth established as clearly as possible through countless specialized studies, but the far-right formation had a malignant role on almost every level on which it acted, beyond the slogans that claimed high, noble and deep purposes. The selective recall has long-term consequences and feeds the captive thinking, infecting some of the most enlightened minds of the 20th century. The case of the young generation, led by a worldwide representative, such as Mircea Eliade, is an example. The direct links between fascism, Nazism and legionnaires are also discussed, as well as those elements that have led to the success of the legionary movement in the ranks of the population. Horia Sima names some real historical events, giving them completely different meanings and causalities. With the help of reference works on the History of the Iron Guard, signed by names such as Francisco Veiga or Traian Sandu, those manipulation attempts that Horia Sima does in his pro domo approach are brought to light. Some recent discoveries, such as those related to the hidden past of Mircea Eliade, a legionary past that the Romanian scholar never denied, according to researcher Bruce Lincoln, is proof of the fact that the manipulation of the truth, such as Horia Sima`s one, has long term consequences.

The article briefly outlines the European legislative context on Green Infrastructure and Nature-based Solutions (NbS) by highlighting the main initiatives/laws published in the past 15 years, as well as the main definitions and associated concepts. One of the core aspects of the paper is the methodological approach proposed in order to integrate the Green Infrastructure and NbS elements into the Programmes of Measures (PoM) associated to the Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMP) – cycle II, reported to the European Commission – as required by the Floods Directive and approved by GD 886/2023. Compared to the proposed/carried out green measures during cycle I of the Directive’s implementation, Romania has taken a big step forward. The implementation of the proposed green measures and NbS depends on numerous factors (local conditions, institutional issues, funding mechanisms, etc). Beyond the obvious benefits, the NbS have several limitations regarding their implementation. In conclusion, the article highlights the factors that favour the implementation of these measures, the restrictions that may appear, as well as the potential financing mechanisms.

La peur de rater en tant que Roumain, un mobile de sa réussite littéraire
Authors:   Universitatea „Ștefan cel Mare” din Suceava [University of Suceava], Romania, PUICĂ Gina
Published: December 2024

In this article, we attempt to analyse what seems to be a persistent obsession of Cioran’s over time: the fear of failing in life (and therefore also in his writing career) because of his Romanian origin. Cioran was convinced that Romanians were doomed to failure and that Romania embodied “the genius of failure”. To escape the fate reserved for writers from “small” countries and join the “World Republic of Letters” (Pascale Casanova), Cioran chose France as his country of residence, especially as he was fascinated by the country’s grandiose history. But despite having done everything to escape the “Romanian failure”, the “Romanian nothingness”, Cioran paradoxically remained attracted all his life by the philosophical and existential question of failure, and even seems to have despised his own success when success began to come. It is on these questions that our article will focus, drawing in particular on Cioran’s correspondence, a substantial selection of which has recently been published.
On Translating and Worlding
Authors:   Universitatea din BUCUREȘTI, MARTIN Matei
Published: December 2024

This article is the first part of a larger essay that advances a general theory of translation. It starts from the argument that we are all translators (even self-translators) and we are all translated throughout our lives. The paper offers an analysis of the state of the field of translation studies under the conditions of irrepresibile globalization and techonolgical and media revolution. Nowadays “Translational Turn” is discussed taking into account the convergence between the implicitly colonizing trend of American language and culture and self-colonizing aspirations of “small” languages and cultures in quest for international recognition.

Examining the impact of Research Lesson Study on teachers’ beliefs and educational practices regarding high-ability students
Authors: Barbier K. , Struyf E. , Donche V.
Published: December 2024

Om gepast onderwijs te kunnen aanbieden aan cognitief begaafde leerlingen moeten leraren beschikken over relevante opvattingen, kennis en vaardigheden. Eerder onderzoek suggereert dat leraren uit het reguliere onderwijs misvattingen kunnen hebben over cognitief begaafde leerlingen en soms de nodige kennis of vaardigheden missen om een gepaste onderwijsleeromgeving te creëren. Het doel van deze studie is om te onderzoeken hoe de opvattingen en onderwijspraktijk van leraren evolueren wanneer ze deelnemen aan een professionaliseringstraject via Research Lesson Study.
Dertien leraren van zes reguliere basisscholen en secundaire scholen in Vlaanderen namen deel aan herhaalde diepte-interviews om hun ervaringen in kaart te brengen. Leraren rapporteerden leerwinst over het verfijnen van hun opvattingen en het verbeteren van hun onderwijspraktijk. De verbeterde onderwijspraktijken kwamen overeen met eerdere wetenschappelijke bevindingen over effectief lesgeven aan cognitief begaafde leerlingen. Daarnaast vertoonden leraren met beperkte opvattingen en kennis over de onderwijspraktijken minder leerwinst in vergelijking met andere leraren.
Het is van belang dat leraren een accuraat en uitgebreid referentiekader ontwikkelen met betrekking tot het adequaat lesgeven aan cognitief begaafde leerlingen. Professionalisering voor leraren via Research Lesson Study bleek uit het onderzoek effectief te zijn voor het optimaliseren van opvattingen en van relevante onderwijspraktijken met betrekking tot cognitief begaafde leerlingen.

La silva neolatina: paradigma de los poetas barrocos
Authors: Robles Sánchez M.ª Ángeles
Published: December 2024

Mi trabajo está estructurado en una parte teórica que pretende el estudio de la silva neolatina. Este apartado, con sus diferentes secciones, consiste en analizar, desde el punto de vista intertextual, los paratextos y los metatextos de diferentes eruditos, en su gran mayoría barrocos, que teorizan sobre la silva. De forma habitual recurrimos a ellos para consultar las ediciones que realizaron de autores griegos y romanos de distintas épocas y géneros literarios; sin embargo, es menos conocida la labor de teorizar acerca de los géneros literarios cultivados tanto por los poetas neolatinos como por los autores que escriben en lengua vernácula. Es esta faceta la que desarrollaré. Por otro lado, hay otra parte más práctica, el objetivo de la cual es analizar unos versos del Volpone de Ben Jonson (1573-1637) teniendo en cuenta los principios expuestos en la parte teórica.
La hermenéutica literaria de Fernando Lázaro Carreter
Authors: López Martínez María Isabel
Published: December 2024

Fernando Lázaro Carreter ofrece una teoría hermenéutica que evoluciona durante su trayectoria en el campo de los estudios literarios. En los escritos de los años setenta, su interés se centra en las dificultades de interpretación del texto y en las posibilidades del receptor para entenderlo. Estas dependen de la competencia del lector, de acuerdo con las tendencias teóricas de aquella época. Progresivamente, y sobre todo en su última etapa, además de seguir defendiendo la importancia de la intentio operis, insiste especialmente en la intentio auctoris. Reacciona, por tanto, frente a las pujantes teorías sobre la apertura de posibilidades de lectura. No olvida la finalidad práctica y política del comentario de textos en la enseñanza como instrumento que favorece la comprensión.
Primary Repair of Cloacal Exstrophy with a Small Bladder with a Bowel Patch: A Case Report
Authors: Guzman Johann Paulo , Cadete Ivory June , Comuelo Ryan Ed , Tidon Demie
Published: December 2024

Cloacal exstrophy (CE) is a group of congenital anomalies most commonly affecting the genitourinary, gastrointestinal and skeletal systems. Management of these anomalies requires multidisciplinary care and involves staged surgical reconstruction. We present the case of a newborn male referred due to a midline abdominal mass and imperforate anus noted upon delivery. Physical exam revealed an omphalocele, bladder exstrophy, bifid penis, and imperforate anus. Imaging revealed right renal agenesis and pubic diastasis. The patient underwent repair of cloacal exstrophy, bilateral ureteral stent, bilateral anterior osteotomy, primary repair of bladder with bowel augmentation to increase capacity, perineal urethrostomy, genital reconstruction and end colostomy.  He was maintained in a pelvic wrap for the osteotomy to heal. He was discharged well.  The surgical management of exstrophy is varied involving multiple approaches.  While most authors would do a staged repair of the exstrophy leaving the bladder augmentation later because of high failure rates.  Our approach to primarily address a relatively small bladder with a patch during closure in selected patients is feasible.  Although long term follow-up is needed to achieve good quality of fecal and urinary incontinence, early surgical bladder correction may suggest earlier achievement of continence among patients.  Patient is doing well after three years of this procedure with minimal soiling per urethrostomy.  Our future plans include repair of the imperforate anus and urodynamic studies to monitor bladder function.

Authors: Jore Jayvee , Faderogao Mary Rose , Tantiado Rey
Published: December 2024

This study was conducted to determine and characterize the populations of amylase-producing bacteria from the three rice mill soils in Tigbauan, Iloilo. Soil samples were collected, characterized, and assessed for the presence of amylase- producing bacteria. Serial dilutions, spread plate method of soil samples on starch agar plates, and incubation for 72 hours were done to detect the presence of zone of amylolytic activity. Soil samples in three rice mills in Tigbauan, Iloilo have the presence of amylase-producing bacteria. Bacterial isolates had very active amylolytic activity after 72 hours of incubation and vary in their colony morphology and cell characteristics. It showed no significant difference on the amylolytic activity among the isolates in the three rice mill sites, indicating comparative amylolytic capability. Biochemical tests and molecular characterization of the bacteria should be done to identify the species of the bacterial isolates.
Investigating Cellular Memory Through Repeated Stimuli: A Case Study on Heat Shock Protein Expression
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of Industrial Biotechnology, BIHER, Chennai., D Sharmila , F Emerson Solomon ,   Professor, Department of Bio Medical Engineering, BIHER, Chennai.
Published: December 2024

Cellular memory is a phenomenon where cells retain information about past stimuli, enabling them to respond more effectively upon subsequent exposure. This study focuses on heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), a key player in stress responses, to explore the concept of cellular memory. Cells were subjected to two rounds of heat shock, with their gene expression levels analyzed to determine if a memory-like behavior exists. Using computational modeling, we observed faster and more robust upregulation of HSP70 during the second heat shock cycle. This finding suggests that cellular memory plays a critical role in stress adaptation, with implications for understanding biological resilience, developing stress-resilient cell lines, and exploring therapeutic interventions for diseases where stress responses are dysregulated.
Mapping Gene Expression and Transcription Inhibition to Cancer Treatment Cost Estimation
Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Bio-Medical Engineering, Vels Institute of Science, Technology and Advanced Studies, Tamilnadu, India., R Priya , M Sundar Raj ,   Professor, PPG Institute of Technology, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu
Published: December 2024

The escalating costs of cancer treatments present a significant challenge for healthcare systems globally. Traditional methods of estimating cancer treatment costs often fail to incorporate patient-specific biological factors. Recent advancements in predictive oncology have emphasized the need for machine learning techniques to predict treatment costs based on biological attributes. Transcription inhibition plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression and cancer cell proliferation, yet the relationship between transcription inhibition and treatment budgets remains under- explored. This study aims to address this gap by creating a machine learning (ML) framework that combines transcription inhibition dynamics with cancer treatment budgeting, with the goal of improving the accuracy of cost estimations. Our framework involves generating synthetic data representing transcription inhibition attributes, training multiple regression models, and evaluating them based on metrics like Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and the R² score. The machine learning models applied include Linear Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Regressor, and Neural Network Regressor. Random Forest and Gradient Boosting models showed promising results, outperforming other models in budget prediction. This approach offers potential applications in precision oncology, with implications for optimizing resource allocation and supporting cost-effective clinical decision-making.
