In conventional English classroom instruction, students' learning effectiveness is often affected by various factors, including the classroom setting, individual student circumstances, and the teaching methods employed by instructors. The paper develops an efficient Smart Learning of English Language (SL-EL) system utilizing ZigBee (ZB) technology. This paper enhances the conventional ZB algorithm and develops an SL-EL system utilizing ZB Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). This paper enhances the prediction algorithm for determining students' precise locations and orientations on the school's premises, examines the SL-EL system's network architecture according to SL's actual requirements, and establishes a three-tier instructional and educational system. This paper establishes system function units based on demand estimation, examines the data analyzing the efficacy of the network nodes within the SL through empirical investigation, and assesses the system's EL learning outcomes. This paper employs simulation methods to analyze 81 data points to assess the ZB network's data-analyzing efficacy. The results indicate that implementing the SL-EL system utilizing the ZB network enables teachers to more effectively manage changes in the classroom setting, monitor students' engagement, and address other constraining factors to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness.

Published: October 2024

Ambulances enable digital and widespread remote care for older people in the healthcare sector. The Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is critical for allowing the digital and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) for the smart healthcare world. Enhancing the dependability and flexibility of an adaptive routing algorithm improves vehicular communications' Quality of Service (QoS) effectiveness. An essential concern in vehicular technology is enabling drivers to make reliable judgments. Developing an effective routing system that ensures a suitable QoS takes time and effort. The vehicular network ecosystem is characterized by limited mobility, fast vehicle speeds, and constantly changing configurations. This study makes four distinct contributions. Initially, it presents adaptive routing protocols, capable of recognizing changes in the network environment, aware of the mobility of nodes, and dependable in delivering data packets. The experimental configuration is implemented inside a discrete Network Simulator (NS-3) scenario to enhance the QoS. Mobility-aware routing algorithms can provide ITS with satisfactory mobility, vital dependability, high Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), high throughput, and low End-to-End (E2E) Delay. The proposed method has an average throughput of 664.3 kbps, a delay of 151.3 ms, and a packet delivery ratio (PDR) of 94.23%.

The advancement of informatization has significantly affected many sectors due to e-commerce, rendering the existing Financial Model (FM) inadequate for e-commerce customers. Artificial Intelligence (AI) substantially enhances the financial accounting capabilities and resource integration of systems using mobile networks. The insufficient FM of e-commerce tools and issues such as the administration of funds have significantly obstructed the advancement of standardized financial procedures, as the FM structure impacts managers' statistical evaluation of financial information. This research examines the financial hazards, management issues, and underlying causes of these issues inside e-commerce systems, subsequently employing AI to assess the FM operations of these websites in Peru. This research uses a Machine Learning (ML) approach to examine the clustering centers of FM information as well as the privacy aspect of the FM. This study ultimately presents ways for optimizing and constructing FMs to enhance data security and capital administration in e-commerce financing, hence fostering the continued growth of e-commerce systems using mobile networks. The experimental findings indicate that the FM’s classification value and security aspect for e-commerce systems progressively enhance under the ML. The average classification value is 1.23, whereas the average risk factor is around 1.41. AI and ML improve financial accounting requirements and the long-term growth of e-commerce systems in Peru.
Improved Data Privacy with Differential Privacy in Federated Learning
Authors: Mathew Cina , Asha Dr.P.
Published: October 2024

Multiple users may train machine learning models cooperatively using Federated Learning (FL). There is a risk of malicious acquisition of participants' personal data due to the fact that traditional machine learning needs users to provide data for training. Through the use of federated learning, which involves moving the training process from a central server to terminal devices, users' data may be protected. Each participant keeps their dataset local and only exchanges model updates. This research proposed an innovative proposal for the medical industry's differentiated privacy approach for overcoming these problems. When several healthcare organizations work together to develop models that use different and extensive information, clinical applications may be greatly enhanced. Thus, the Local and Centre Differential Privacy (LCDP) on clinical datasets is a feature of our proposed approach. Reason being that the training data is the primary emphasis of the local model, while the machine learning model is the primary focus of the central model. We discover that the local model and the central model are linked in a unique way, changes in the original data lead to changes in the gradient, which in turn lead to changes in the model parameters. Based on this finding, our technique is better than prior central methods since it protects the data, gradient, and model all at once by bridging the gap between the two. Our system provides better privacy protections and even higher performance than some of the best previous central methods, which is an excellent outcome of rigorous evaluation.

Authors: Орлов Ігор
Published: October 2024

У статті проведено дослідження факторів впливу на національні системи бухгалтерського обліку та їх формування. Національні системи бухгалтерського обліку є результатом взаємодії економічних, політичних, культурних, історичних та інших не менш важливих чинників. Вони формуються з урахуванням національних потреб і умов, відображаючи унікальні методи обліку, складання фінансової звітності та регулювання бухгалтерських процесів. Мета полягає у визначенні основних факторів та чинників, що впливають на формування національних систем бухгалтерського обліку. У роботі використані методи аналізу та синтезу наукових джерел, порівняльний аналіз принципів бухгалтерського обліку та фінансової звітності різних країн, а також методологія адаптації міжнародних стандартів до національних умов, розглядаються аспекти стандартизації та гармонізації обліку згідно міжнародних стандартів та норм. В результаті дослідження було встановлено, що національні системи бухгалтерського обліку визначаються комплексом внутрішніх та зовнішніх факторів, таких як правове регулювання, економічна ситуація, культурні та соціальні особливості, рівень розвитку ринку капіталу та вплив міжнародних стандартів. Міжнародні стандарти фінансової звітності сприяють глобалізації економіки, забезпечуючи уніфікацію принципів звітності та підвищення прозорості фінансової інформації. Гнучкість національних систем дозволяє їм адаптуватися до сучасних викликів, що забезпечує стійкість та конкурентоспроможність на міжнародних ринках. Актуальність дослідження факторів впливу на побудову національних систем бухгалтерського обліку зумовлена необхідністю розуміння та адаптації бухгалтерських практик до умов сучасного глобалізованого економічного середовища. Аналіз цих факторів є важливим для розробки стратегій, спрямованих на покращення транспарентності фінансової звітності, підвищення довіри інвесторів та забезпечення стабільності економічного розвитку для кожної країни.

Authors: Сарахман Оксана , Шурпенкова Руслана
Published: October 2024

У сучасному світі, де геополітична нестабільність та конфлікти стають невіддільною частиною реальності, функціонування національної банківської системи супроводжується постійними викликами, що призводять до зростання рівня кредитних ризиків. Автори розглянули вплив воєнного конфлікту на чинники зростання кредитного ризику банків, його оцінку та інструменти управління в обліку за міжнародними стандартами. Досліджено зміни до низки нормативно-правових актів Національного банку України з питань, які визначають пруденційні підходи до оцінки кредитного ризику. Стаття підкреслює необхідність дотримання таких принципів при оцінці кредитного ризику: переваги сутності здійснюваних банком активних операцій над їх формою; своєчасності та повноти виявлення кредитного ризику; адекватності оцінки розміру кредитного ризику; застосування банком методів зниження кредитного ризику, що об’єктивно забезпечують його мінімізацію; урахування власного досвіду банку під час оцінки кредитного ризику; достатності та адекватності розроблених банком внутрішніх положень, застосування яких забезпечує належну оцінку кредитного ризику. Проведено аналіз стану управління кредитними ризиком установами банків України, у тому числі розглянуто ситуацію з проблемними кредитами в ПриватБанку, Сенс Банку, Укрексімбанку, ОТП Банку, Банку Кредит Дніпро, Піреус Банку з врахуванням особливостей військового стану. У дослідженні доведено, що кредитний ризик продовжує залишатися головним джерелом проблем у банках України які повинні чітко усвідомлювати необхідність управління і оцінки кредитним ризиком. Процес управління кредитним ризиком банку повинен включати в себе ідентифікацію, вимірювання, оцінку, моніторинг та контроль ризиків. Це означає визначення можливих факторів ризику, оцінку їхніх можливих наслідків, стеження за діяльністю, що піддається впливу виявлених ризиків.

Authors:   Belgorod Regional Public Organization «Society of Ancient History Buffs», Chursin Dmitry I.
Published: October 2024

The article accumulates information about 16 volosts of the Putyvl district (powiat/uezd) and analyzes research ideas about their location, borders and territorial composition. In particular, it is shown that the Zhuravnе archaeological complex on the Vorskla River cannot be associated with the center of Lositskaya volost: it corresponds to Nemer’, the center of the neighboring Nemirskaya volost. The identification of the center of Gorodetskaya volost with the Vorozhba on the Psyol River is not confirmed by sources. At the present time, there is not enough data to confidently localize the centers of Teshkovskaya and Klepetskaya volosts. The same applies to Lopatin, a volost known only from documents of the Lithuanian era. It is assumed that the Korenskaya volost was located in the area of present Hlynsk on the Sula River. The popular version that the latter belonged to the possessions of the Glinsky princes is called into question.

The symptoms are also accompanied by a feeling of tingling on the left side of the face, and the left eyelid cannot open optimally. The patient has a history of uncontrolled hypertension. The HINTS test revealed central vertigo, and the patient also found dysdiadochokinesis, ataxia, and dysmethria. A non-contrast head CT scan showed ICH in the left cerebellum with a volume of 6.9 cc. Based on the results of these examinations, the patient was diagnosed with cerebellar hemorrhage. The blood supply to the brainstem, cerebellum, and inner ear comes from the vertebrobasilar vascular system. Blockage or rupture of blood vessels in one of the main branches of this system can cause symptoms of vertigo. Symptoms of vertebrobasilar stroke vary widely and depend on which of the three main circumferential branches is affected; posterior inferior cerebellar artery, anterior inferior cerebellar artery, or superior cerebellar artery.  Vertigo in patients who have risk factors for stroke accompanied by other neurological symptoms should be considered for a thorough neurological examination to evaluate the possibility of cerebrovascular disease.
Advances and Challenges for the Malaria Vaccine: A Review
Authors:   Faculty of Science and Technology Kampala International University Uganda, Mugisha Emmanuel K.
Published: October 2024

Malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, where transmission rates are highest. Traditional control measures, such as insecticide-treated bed nets and antimalarial drugs, have helped reduce the disease’s impact, but challenges such as drug and insecticide resistance continue to undermine these efforts. A highly effective malaria vaccine represents a crucial step towards achieving long-term control and eventual eradication. This review explores recent advances in malaria vaccine development, including the RTS, S/AS01 and R21/Matrix-M vaccines, while highlighting their limitations related to efficacy, immunity duration, and accessibility in resource-poor regions. Additionally, it addresses the challenges in developing multivalent vaccines, targeting different strains of Plasmodium, and the need for integrated approaches combining vaccination with existing control strategies. Looking ahead, the review discusses the potential of next-generation vaccines, mRNA platforms, and hybrid strategies that could enhance global malaria control efforts. Keywords: Malaria vaccine, RTS, S/AS01, R21/Matrix-M, transmission-blocking vaccines, malaria control.

This research investigates the impact of varied levels of feeding and controlled feed restrictions on the growth parameters, and feed efficiency of broiler chickens. The study focuses on weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and feed consumption. A total of twenty-five (25) broiler chicks were grouped into 5 groups. Group 1 (Control) had ad libitum feeding , and Groups 2-5 had 95% , 90%, 85% , and 80% of ad libitum feeding respectively for four weeks. Results indicate that the group 2, with 95% of ad libitum feeding, exhibited the highest weight gain, less feed conversion ratio (FCR), and higher feed consumption. Result indicates that other groups subjected to feed restriction including the control group, displayed improved FCR values, suggesting enhanced nutrient utilization for growth, less weight, and less feed consumption. The study recommends the adoption of balanced feed restriction strategies for optimizing broiler production, emphasizing the need for continuous evaluation and adaptation of feeding practices for sustainable and economically efficient outcomes.

Physicochemical characteristics of acha-peanut composite flour separately enriched with carrot and orange-fleshed sweet potato(OFSP) flours, yielding four samples based on a 19 g protein target were assessed: A (100% acha), AP (81.08% acha + 18.92% peanut), APC (64.21% acha + 20.64% peanut + 15.15% carrot), and APO (64.55% acha + 20.74% peanut + 14.71% OFSP). Sample APO had significantly (p<0.05) higher protein content (19.72%), while AP had higher fat (3.54%). APC had higher ash (3.14%) and fibre (5.08%), whereas sample A had higher carbohydrate (79.95%) and energy (387.77 kcal) values. Sample APC had significant (p<0.05) higher differences observed in bulk density (0.82 g/ml), water absorption (1.56 g/g), oil absorption (1.47 g/g), and swelling index (3.01). APC also had the lowest peak (366.10 RVU), trough (167.50 RVU), breakdown (199.80 RVU), final (393.20 RVU), and setback (244.30 RVU) viscosities, while sample A had the lowest peak temperature (59.12°C) and peak time (5.36 min). APC contained higher calcium (21.12 mg/100g), magnesium (72.64 mg/100g), iron (9.07 mg/100g), zinc (3.96 mg/100g), and beta-carotene (6.75 mg/100g), whereas sample A had higher thiamine (0.41 mg/100g), and APO had higher vitamin C (3.11 mg/100g). Antinutrient contents ranged from 0.12-1.02 mg/100g, 0.13-0.90 mg/100g, 0.14-0.32 mg/100g and 0.22-0.61 mg/100g for tannins, phytates, oxalates and trypsin inhibitors, respectively. APC had the lowest tannin and phytate values, while lower oxalates and trypsin inhibitors were found in samples A and APO, respectively. These findings underscore the potential of these composite flours in improving dietary quality and addressing nutrient deficiencies, particularly for children.

Bridges are vital for linking communities and facilitating economic activity. However, in the face of disaster, like ship collisions pose a significant threat to bridge infrastructure, causing structural damage and potential safety hazards. Rapid and precise assessment of the damage is essential for effective emergency response and recovery operations. Remote sensing with near-real-time satellite imagery provides the disaster scenario. This paper presents a change detection using pre- and post-disaster satellite data for Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge to identify structural damage due to the collision of the ship with support pillars on 26 March 2024. Both optical and microwave satellite data were used from open data sources and analyzed based on geospatial techniques such as change detection and surface profiling. It is estimated that an 1100-meter span of bridge was affected due to this collision, which helped to estimate the damage and mobilize the rescue operations. It may need further validation from ground truth information. Hence, the current study emphasizes the potential of remote sensing satellite data to provide near-real-time impact on disaster analysis.

Published: October 2024

La progesterona es una hormona esteroidea involucrada en una serie de procesos relacionados con el ciclo reproductivo femenino, así como un potente inmunomodulador durante el embarazo. El objetivo de este artículo de revisión es unificar de manera secuencial las diferentes funciones moleculares de la progesterona, desde su interacción a nivel nuclear con su receptor, utilizando datos de las bases de datos PubMed y EBSCO. Entre los resultados obtenidos se encontró el papel fundamental de los receptores de progesterona, los cuales cuentan con regiones activadoras e inhibitorias que controlan la actividad transcripcional. Existen dos isoformas principales, PRA y PRB, con diferentes funciones durante el ciclo menstrual y el embarazo; además, se ha identificado un tercer receptor, PRC. En la implantación uterina, la progesterona coordina la receptividad endometrial y modula vías de señalización, influyendo en respuestas inmunológicas favorables al embarazo. El receptor de progesterona juega un papel crucial como un regulador clave de respuestas fisiológicas a la progesterona, con efectos genómicos y no genómicos, destacando su papel en la implantación, quiescencia uterina e inmunomodulación durante el embarazo.

El dengue, considerada una enfermedad tropical desatendida (ETD) con una amplia gama de síntomas y presentaciones potencialmente mortales, representa un desafío global de salud pública. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura con el objetivo de analizar los factores demográficos, socioeconómicos y políticos asociados con su incidencia, así como evaluar estrategias actuales de prevención y control. La urbanización no planificada, escasez de ser vicios de saneamiento básico y resistencia a insecticidas se destacan como factores que favorecen la propagación de sus vectores. A pesar de los esfuerzos para su erradicación, las estrategias de control actuales han mostrado ser insuficientes, persistiendo como una amenaza creciente que resalta la necesidad de abordar las desigualdades sociales y promover enfoques integrados basados en una colaboración lineal entre el sector científico, público y privado.
