Improving Intelligence of Machine Learning models for achieving higher success rate in In vitro fertilization (IVF)
Authors:   Computer Engginring department , PIET, Parul University, Vadodara, Gujarat, India, Gandhi Vishva Rishi
Published: January 2025

In vitro fertilization (IVF) success prediction remains a challenging task due to the complexity of factors influencing outcomes, such as patient demographics, clinical parameters, and embryological data. Existing machine learning models, including Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and traditional feature selection techniques, have shown promise but often face limitations in feature optimization and model generalization. To address these challenges, this study proposes a hybrid machine learning model combining Genetic Algorithms (GA) for feature selection with ANN for prediction. The GA efficiently identifies relevant features, while the ANN captures non-linear relationships among them, resulting in improved prediction accuracy. Experimental evaluations on IVF datasets demonstrate that the hybrid ANN-GA model outperforms traditional methods in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. This model has the potential to support clinicians in making data-driven decisions, thereby enhancing the personalization and success rates of IVF treatments.

Authors:   Department of Computer Science, Malnad College of Engineering, Hassan, Karnataka, India, D Arun
Published: January 2025

Human behavior detection systems using face recognition technology have become one of the key areas of research in artificial intelligence and computer vision. The present study puts forward an all-encompassing framework for the detection and analysis of human behavior through face recognition, integrating advanced techniques in deep learning and pattern recognition. The proposed system integrates facial feature extraction, emotion recognition, and behavioral pattern analysis to provide a real-time glimpse into individual and group activities. Using CNNs and pretrained models, this system can give high accuracy rates in the emotions of happiness, sadness, anger, and surprise, which further correlate to certain behavioral states. The application area includes security surveillance, workplace monitoring, healthcare, and human-computer interaction. Experiments prove the system's capability to learn and be appropriate under changing illumination, occlusions, and facial expressions and demonstrates robust performance. The work shows how face-based behavioral detection systems could lead the way to intelligent and context-aware applications.

Japanese Youth: Facing the Peace
Authors: Zhilina L. V.
Published: January 2025

Nowadays young people constitute the majority of population in many countries. However, engaging with young people is not only a demographic necessity — young people all over the world actively influence peace processes through diverse initiatives. As stressed in the Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the ignorance of each other’s ways and lives has been a common cause, throughout the history of mankind, of that suspicion and mistrust between the peoples of the world through which their differences have all too often broken into war. Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed. Surveying the moods of young people around the world, a foundation maintaining official relations with UNESCO, the Goi Peace Foundation, conducted a survey of young people around the world (aged 15–25) in 2021, where th e respondents were asked about their perceptions of the current state of peace, their awareness of issues related to peace, about what they would like to do to contribute to peace. The article analyzes young people’s own point of view on youth participation and inclusion in peace processes and compares all the participants’ opinions with opinions of participants from Japan. The youth aged 15 to 25 make up a tenth of Japan’s population, and some young Japanese people identify themselves as the satori sedai (さとり世代) — a term first used in 2010 to describe those born around the time the economy started to slide two decades ago and characterizing the Japanese youth as having pessimistic attitudes towards the future. That is why the analysis of the values and social orientations of Japanese youth towards peace, issues related to peace, and their possible contribution to peace building as compared to those in the rest of the world is especially interesting. The article indicates that young Japanese demonstrated willingness to socialize, strengthen, and protect peace in formal and informal political platforms through various practices. It is noted that the participation of the youth, both all over the world and in Japan, in building and supporting world peace can yield substantial positive results.
PR676-233801-R01 The State of the Art Pipeline Risk Assessment for Crack Management
Authors: Skow Jason
Published: January 2025

Pipeline Research Council International Inc. (PRCI)'s Crack Management SRP has identified that circumferential cracking is a challenge for pipeline operating companies. The objective of this work was to create a framework to identify, assess and mitigate the risk due to circumferential cracking threats. Susceptibility to failure from circumferential cracking is linked to (1) circumfer-ential cracks subject to increasing axial or bending strains, or (2) growth in circumferential cracks at locations of residual strain. This project focusses on the first.

No single inline inspection (ILI) technology is capable of identifying circumferential cracks co-located within areas of increasing axial and bending strain. While bending strains are reliably de-tected with inertial mapping in-line inspection (ILI/IMU), identifying increasing strain due to sub-sidence or ground movement geotechnical requires separate expertise. Combining these into a framework to estimate the risk of a pipeline failure from circumferential cracks is the focus of this project.

This work summarizes the state-of-the art of pipeline risk assessment, which was the starting point for the development of circumferential crack management framework. The framework is compat-ible with the state-of-the-art risk methods used for other threats, it is intended to integrate into operators' integrity management planning, and it addresses the latest regulations and best practices adhered to by the industry.

Temporal determination of fishing areas can be predicted by utilizing remote sensing and GIS technology, which is both new and growing, one of which is by analyzing the distribution of chlorophyll-a concentrations in time series. Based on this, this research was carried out from May to August 2024 in Ternate Island waters with the aim of examining the distribution of chlorophyll-a concentration and its influence and relationship with the catch of yellowfin tuna, which is the leading commodity in the export sector of capture fisheries in Ternate City. This study was conducted using an experimental fishing method with data collected in the form of fish catch data and satellite images of chlorophyll-a concentration distribution based on catch position plots. The data analysis began with GIS analysis to extract and map the temporal distribution of chlorophyll-a concentration in the study area followed by analysis of catch composition. Furthermore, statistical analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between chlorophyll-a concentration and the number of yellowfin tuna caught. The results showed that the value of chlorophyll-a concentration in Ternate Island waters fluctuated from May to August 2023, with a minimum value of 0.21-0.56 mg m-3 maximum 0.33 mg m-3 and an average of 0.34 mg m3. Furthermore, the results of the regression analysis showed that chlorophyll-a concentration significantly influenced the catch of yellowfin tuna with the value of Fcount. = 82.834 and Sig. = 0.00, with the coefficient of determination (R2) being 0.58, and the results of GAM analysis finding that the relationship between the two variables is very very real (P < 0.0001), which is reinforced by the results of correlation analysis with an r value of 0.762, which indicates that the correlation between the two variables is strong and positive, with a cross-correlation value indicating the presence and increased production of yellowfin tuna in Ternate Island waters significantly is on trip 13.

Introduction: Family planning needs are among the main reasons for consultation in Primary Health Care (PHC). The World Health Organization places significant emphasis on this topic, highlighting users' autonomy in choosing a method and providing technical support to care providers. Users may present clinical restrictions or moral barriers that interfere with their choices, making behavioral methods or those based on fertility awareness one of the few viable options. Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of PHC physicians in the city of Anápolis, in the Brazilian state of Goiás, regarding the Billings Ovulation Method (BOM). Method: Cross-sectional, quantitative and qualitative, descriptive study. Results: The sample represents 80.7% of the population, with a confidence level of approximately 85% and a 5% margin of error. Regarding their specialization, only 15% were family doctors. About 61% of respondents had been working in PHC for a maximum of two years. BOM was the most well-known natural method, mentioned by 68.8% of participants, but the calendar method ("rhythm method") was the most frequently recommended. Approximately 43% believed they would perform efficiently in guiding these methods, compared to 41.3% who considered themselves unfit. Regarding the importance of medical training in natural methods, 93% considered it relevant. Conclusion: Although BOM is the most well-known method, most physicians did not consider themselves adequately prepared to teach it. Greater focus on family planning methods based on behavior and fertility awareness during medical training could contribute to clinical efficacy and the satisfaction of PHC users during family planning.

Published: January 2025

The Bebras Challenge is an international initiative that promotes computational thinking among students through fun and engaging challenges. It incorporates gamification elements, which play a significant role in making learning more interactive and motivating. For teachers, it offers valuable professional development opportunities, helping them to incorporate these concepts into their teaching practices. However, so far, a limited number of studies have been conducted to investigate Bebras Educational Competition and Gamification for the development of students’ computational thinking in secondary education. Also, while the Bebras Challenge is widely recognized for its role in promoting computational thinking through engaging tasks, the specific intersection of Bebras, gamification, and teacher development is a relatively underexplored research area. Specifically, for this paper seven databases were searched, and 33 papers were finally selected for this review. The findings seem to shed light on whether Bebras competition might enhance the development of students’ computational thinking, and to present what could be the potential impact and effectiveness of a gamified learning approach included in Bebras initiative for promoting computational thinking skills among students, especially in secondary education. A significant conclusion stemming from findings of this review, is that the learning of teachers at a professional level, and the development of their expertise, leads them to changes in teaching practices that have as a final result the improvement of student learning and the development of students’ computational thinking skills

In the era of globalization, the gap between university graduates' competencies and industry requirements remains a significant challenge. Internship programs often fail to optimally bridge the gap between academic theories and workplace practices. This study aims to validate the development of an integrated progressive internship model designed to enhance the quality of industrial internship programs for students. The model was developed based on the Four D’s framework (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), with key syntax elements including Coaching Clinic, Input, Process, Evaluation, and Dissemination. Validation was conducted involving 8 experts through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and data analysis using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) based on Structural Equation Modeling. The findings reveal that the model demonstrates high validity and reliability, with R-Square values ranging from 0.938 to 0.939. It can be concluded that this internship model holds significant potential for implementation in reducing the gap between theory and practice while enhancing students’ preparedness to meet the demands of the workforce.
Incidence of virtual education in front of covid-19 in the tilipulo neighborhood during the school year 2020- 2021
Authors: Moreno Muso Nasheli Estefanía
Published: January 2025

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, had a profound impact on various aspects of society, including education. In this context, virtual education acquired greater relevance as a solution for the continuity of learning at all educational levels. This study focused on the Tilipulo neighborhood in Latacunga to analyze the advantages, limitations and realities of virtual education in the face of the pandemic.DevelopmentThe research identified that, although virtual education allowed students to continue their education, this modality presented multiple challenges, especially in rural areas. In Tilipulo, limited internet connectivity, scarcity of technological devices and lack of knowledge in the use of digital platforms hindered meaningful learning. These conditions exacerbated the education gap and led to high dropout rates. Despite the limitations, it was noted that virtual education helped to protect the health of students and their families, preventing the spread of the virus.ConclusionsVirtual education, although vital in the health crisis, failed to match the standards of face-to-face education due to structural and technological limitations. It was concluded that it is necessary to implement strategies to improve digital infrastructure, train teachers and students, and adapt teaching methods to local conditions. These efforts are essential to ensure inclusive and equitable education, especially in vulnerable communities such as Tilipulo
Innovations in preventive dentistry: the impact of sealants
Authors: González Rocío Celeste , Saldaña Julieta
Published: January 2025

Dental caries was highlighted as a multifactorial public health problem that affects people of all ages. Its prevalence was related to biological, behavioral and social factors. Dental pits and fissures were identified as anatomically vulnerable areas for caries development due to their complex morphology and difficult access for cleaning. To address this challenge, pit and fissure sealants emerged as a complementary preventive strategy to brushing and fluoride use.DevelopmentThe evolution of sealants from early materials, such as cyanoacrylates, to more modern materials, such as light-cured resins and glass ionomer cements, was examined. These materials offered improvements in adhesion, fluoride release and resistance to microleakage. Placement techniques were also described, including ultrasonic procedures and ameloplasty, which optimized sealing efficiency in deep, narrow fissures. Despite the advances, challenges in its application were highlighted, such as proper tooth preparation and early diagnosis of incipient lesions.ConclusionsPit and fissure sealants proved to be an effective tool to reduce the risk of dental caries, especially in posterior teeth. However, their success depends on proper diagnosis, accurate techniques and compliance with periodic check-ups. The integration of this strategy in public health programs could contribute significantly to the promotion of oral health and disease prevention.or unstructured, no longer than 250 words; written in the past tense and in the third person singular
