Published: January 2025

In this paper, we present an efficient procedure for automatically classifying ultrasound images of benign and malignant breast tumors. We evaluated our approach using four openly available datasets and investigated two categories of feature extraction methods: handcrafted methods (Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG)) and methods based on convolutional neural network (CNN) models. For classification, we explored three classifiers: linear support vector machines (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), and artificial neural networks (ANN). Two experiments were conducted: the first aimed to design a classifier for each individual dataset, whereas the second aimed to develop a unified classifier for the ensemble datasets. The obtained results demonstrate that the ANN classifier associated to the early stopping (ES) criterion, is very effective in both experiments, outperforming KNN and SVM with 100 % accuracy. Additionally, using CNN models as feature extraction methods proved effective. Among these CNNs: ResNet50, InceptionV3 and DenseNet201 achieve 100 % accuracy in the first experiment, while DenseNet201 allows achieving 100 % accuracy in the second experiment. Comparative analysis with existing research demonstrates the competitiveness or superiority of the proposed procedure.

Published: January 2025

Wave propagation analysis can be employed in various fields, such as nondestructive testing and structural health monitoring, which makes it so interesting and attractive. In the present investigation, an analytical method based on an exponential function was used to solve the wave propagation problem in functionally graded (FG) beams with consideration for imperfection via refined higher-order shear deformation theory. The recently developed porosity-dependent homogenization model was used to analyze the influence of imperfection on the wave dispersion behavior of porous beams. Material properties of FG beams were assumed to change across the thickness. The conventional porosity model illustrates a linear relationship between the porosity coefficient and material properties. However, the influence of porosity is actually characterized by a nonlinear relationship. This statement rose from some experimental investigations. To examine the interchange between the porous beam and foundation, Winkler-Pasternak two-parameter models were used as the elastic foundation. Uniform temperature change is taken into account to study the thermal environment effect. The principle of Hamilton is implemented to derive equations of motion for imperfect FG beams. The obtained governing equations were analytically solved. The influence of the wave number, porosity coefficient, temperature change, gradient index, length-to-thickness ratio, Winkler and Pasternak coefficients on the wave propagation in porous FG beams was studied.

In an era of heightened global competition, multinational enterprises (MNEs) must devise performance management (PM) systems that align with overarching corporate strategies while concurrently accommodating local cultural and institutional realities. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of Amazon’s performance management framework through an International Human Resource Management (IHRM) lens. Drawing upon a comprehensive review of secondary data—including corporate publications, academic research, and reputable journalism—this study scrutinizes the inherent tension between Amazon’s standardized, metrics-driven evaluation system and the culturally diverse settings in which it operates.

The findings reveal that Amazon’s universally applied PM practices, largely reflective of its U.S.-based corporate ethos, can clash with the norms and expectations of employees in collectivist or high power distance cultures. Such cultural incongruities may lead to heightened stress, elevated turnover, and diluted engagement, ultimately impeding the firm’s global talent strategies. Through an examination of key IHRM theories, this paper highlights the necessity of balancing global standardization with local responsiveness, and underscores the value of integrating qualitative assessments within predominantly metric-focused evaluation frameworks. The conclusion offers targeted recommendations for refining Amazon’s PM practices, including enhanced cultural sensitivity training, hybridized performance metrics, and the establishment of flexible local governance structures. By illuminating these challenges and prescribing pragmatic solutions, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of effective performance management in the contemporary global economy.

This comparative study examines the agronomic and economic potentials of marigold (Tagetes spp.) cultivation in Russia and Indonesia, two regions with contrasting climates and market dynamics. In Russia, marigold farming focuses on short-season, cold-tolerant varieties, leveraging greenhouse technology and advanced bioactive extraction methods to meet demands in pharmaceutical and ornamental markets. Conversely, Indonesia benefits from a tropical climate that supports year-round cultivation, producing marigolds rich in lutein and carotenoids, widely used in traditional ceremonies, cosmetics, and local ornamental markets. Agronomic assessments reveal Russia's higher production costs but competitive advantage in bioactive compound extraction, while Indonesia achieves greater net profits through lower production costs and higher yields. Despite climatic challenges, both countries capitalize on their unique resources and market demands—Russia's technological expertise complements Indonesia's biodiversity and cultural heritage.The study underscores the importance of adapting cultivation techniques and marketing strategies to regional conditions. Collaborative opportunities, such as technology exchange and joint market development, are recommended to enhance the global competitiveness of marigold products from both nations. The findings highlight the diverse applications and market potential of marigold, advocating for tailored approaches to maximize its value across varying agro-economic landscapes.

Published: January 2025

This study empirically assesses the effect of capital structure on the financial sustainability of micro, small and medium-scale enterprises (MSMEs) in Northeastern Nigeria. Using the fixed effects method, the research analysed panel data of 174 MSMEs across the six (6) states from 2018-2023. Further evidence was provided using the random effect technique. The finding shows that short-term debt negatively influences financial sustainability, while long-term debt financing may lead to sustainable performance. The result implies that MSMEs should prioritise securing long-term borrowing to enhance their performance and attain financial sustainability. Policymakers and regulators should not relent in providing long-term financing opportunities to MSMEs for consistent growth.

Introduction: Prostate adenocarcinoma is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide. Despite often having a slow evolution, it still represents an important cause of death in oncology. Since its clinical results are very heterogeneous, there is a need to identify prognostic markers. Biomarkers are tools and technologies that can aid in this understanding.
Objective: To evaluate the presence of c-MET and ABCB5 in prostate adenocarcinoma and to analyze whether their expression correlates with prognostic factors.
Method: 170 cases were selected through an active search in electronic medical records and review of physical records and anatomopathological reports. Immunohistochemistry was performed for the biomarkers c-MET and ABCB5 in all samples. Retrospective clinical data were collected and plotted in tables. Through TMA (tissue microarray) the tissues were submitted to immunohistochemistry by the peroxidase technique. Clinical and epidemiological information was cross-referenced with the result obtained by immunostaining and its statistical analysis.
Result: Forty-seven men with a mean age of 61.6±6.9 (48-75), with a mean PSA of 11±9.7 (2.4-60.5) were included in this study. 2% had a Gleason score of 5 or 6 and 29, 1%, 7 or 8. Regarding tumor classification, 6 cases had T3a and 2 T3b staging. None had a tumor greater than T3b and there was 1 case of metastasis. With regard to biomarkers, there was positive labeling of c-MET in 32 cases and of ABCB5 in 5. Positive labeling had no statistically significant association with any of the prognostic factors evaluated.
Conclusion: There was expression of c-MET and ABCB5 in the prostate cancer, but without association of them with prognostic factors.

Published: January 2025

Community language usage patterns are often fundamental to minority language maintenance. This study investigates the gender differences in language choice within the Coastal Konjo residing in South Sulawesi Province and explores the implications of its language maintenance. The contexts of language use are varied based on the speaker’s role, the topic of conversation, and the situation of the conversation to understand how gender influences language use and transmission practices. A survey method is used to gather information from 80 respondents, and SPSS is used for descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Descriptive analysis shows that the Konjo language is the most widely spoken, followed by Bahasa Indonesia, Buginese, and mixed-use languages. The inferential statistical analysis also shows that there are no appreciable gender disparities in the Coastal Konjo community’s language choice (p > 0.005) in each context. However, the data reveals a distinct difference in how the Buginese is used, with females appearing to utilize it more frequently than males. This suggests that females have more language contact with Buginese who have long coexisted with coastal Konjo speakers in Bulukumba. Moreover, the findings indicate that males are more crucial to the maintenance of the Konjo language than females.

As doenças inflamatórias intestinais (DIIs), como a Doença de Crohn (DC) e a Retocolite Ulcerativa (RCU), são condições crônicas e complexas que afetam principalmente a população pediátrica, comprometendo o crescimento, o desenvolvimento e a qualidade de vida das crianças. Estas doenças têm se mostrado desafiadoras no contexto pediátrico devido à sua apresentação clínica variável e à necessidade de estratégias terapêuticas eficazes que possam minimizar os efeitos a longo prazo. Este artigo de revisão tem como objetivo analisar as novas perspectivas no manejo das DIIs em crianças, com ênfase em terapias biológicas, intervenções na microbiota intestinal, pesquisas genéticas e a importância da personalização do tratamento. Estudos recentes, incluindo aqueles realizados por pesquisadores brasileiros, indicam que terapias biológicas têm mostrado eficácia em induzir e manter a remissão da doença, enquanto intervenções na microbiota intestinal, como o uso de probióticos e transplante de microbiota fecal, surgem como opções promissoras para modulação da resposta inflamatória. Além disso, as pesquisas genéticas estão fornecendo insights valiosos sobre os fatores predisponentes para as DIIs, o que pode levar a tratamentos mais direcionados e personalizados. A personalização do tratamento, levando em consideração as características individuais de cada paciente, é crucial para otimizar os resultados e minimizar os efeitos adversos das terapias. Em resumo, o avanço no manejo das DIIs pediátricas está cada vez mais focado na combinação de novas abordagens terapêuticas e na personalização do tratamento.

Published: January 2025

Initial teacher preparation plays a crucial role in identifying and supporting students with special educational needs, such as dyslexia, a disorder that affects English language learning. The purpose of this study was to examine the level of knowledge and difficulties of 124 pre-service English teachers at a public university in Ecuador about dyslexia. Data were collected in three different courses from 6th to 8th level from a public university and analyzed using SPSS 27.0 through descriptive statistics, Chi test, and Kruskall Wallis test, taking into account the participant’s scores from the Knowledge and Beliefs about Developmental Dyslexia Scale (KBDDS). A Spanish-adapted version by Betancor (2022) of the original version by Soriano-Ferrer and Echegaray-Bengoa (2014). The results showed that the participants still did not have enough knowledge about dyslexia. Also, a thorough analysis of gender and level variables was conducted and showed that there was no significant effect. These results suggest the need to promote courses and include the topic of dyslexia for future English teachers in their classes to prepare them to provide more inclusive teaching

Authors: Sysoyeva Larysa , Martínez-Usarralde María-Jesús
Published: January 2025

Introduction: this article examines the role of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in promoting and guiding the digital transformation of public administration in its member countries throughout the 21st century. It does so through a documentary analysis of the OECD's reports, recommendations, and key tools, with a special focus on the Digital Government Index (DGI). This study also aims to examine how OECD policies promote digital transformation in countries with varying levels of socio-economic development.Method: this research adopts a qualitative methodological approach based on two tools. First, it employs the systematic analysis of OECD literature from a diachronic perspective. To this end, content analysis and case studies of reports published between 1994 and 2024 are used to scrutinize the discourse on digital progress maintained by OECD member countries, emphasizing the importance of developing digital skills, ensuring equitable access to technologies, and encouraging citizen participation in the co-creation of public policies. Second, it analyzes the level of digital development using the Digital Governance Index (DGI) for the years 2019 and 2022, considering the different socioeconomic contexts of member countries, including both official founding members and subsequent members.Results: the contribution of this article lies in demonstrating the central role of the OECD in promoting digital citizenship through its standards and recommendations, which highlight the importance of digital transformation. Regarding the diachronic analysis, an evolution from a securitarian logic to the paradigm of digital governance is observed. The comparative analysis of the DGI reveals a general trend towards digitization, albeit with significant differences among OECD countries. While Nordic countries such as Norway, Denmark, and the United Kingdom, as well as Asian countries like Korea, lead in digitization, others, particularly in Latin America and Eastern Europe, show less progress. These findings help identify future opportunities for fostering a more inclusive and efficient digital public administration.Conclusions: OECD has expanded its focus on digital development, aiming to promote a more holistic approach to digital citizenship. However, the effectiveness of its policies varies depending on the context of each country, particularly in Latin America. An analysis of the OECD's Digital Government Index (DGI) highlights significant progress in the digital transformation of member countries, especially among founding members. Nevertheless, challenges persist in certain regions of Asia and Latin America
