The Impact of Data Federation Technology on Supply Chain Financing Based on Dynamic Evolutionary Game Analysis
Authors: Tang Huijun
Published: July 2024

Digital technology has been applied in supply chain financing(SCF), which ensures small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have significantly better access to get loans. Digital SCF is established on the basis that financing companies need to provide global data to the financial service providers. However, some enterprises may be unwilling to share information for financing suppliers due to data security which affects the development of such new SCF pattern. In this paper, we propose a solution scheme based on data federation technology and evaluate the feasibility of data federation technology in SCF by dynamic evolutionary game analysis. A trustworthy financing service model is established based on data federation technology and the model highlights the characteristic of data availability but invisibility. Evolutionary simulation analysis was conducted on factors that affect data federation technology applied in SCF. The findings indicate that SMEs can get effective financial services if we use data federation technology to enhance the mutual data trust between the two parties.

Authors: Li Cheng , Qian Qiguang
Published: July 2024

Anomaly detection plays a crucial role in the field of machine learning, as it involves constructing detection models capable of identifying abnormal samples that deviate from expected patterns, using unlabeled or normal samples. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in integrating anomaly detection into image processing to tackle challenges related to target detection, particularly when dealing with limited sample availability. This paper introduces a novel fully connected network model enhanced with a memory augmentation mechanism. By harnessing the comprehensive feature capabilities of the fully connected network, this model effectively complements the representation capabilities of convolutional neural networks. Additionally, it incorporates a memory module to retain knowledge of normal patterns, thereby enhancing the performance of existing models for video anomaly detection. Furthermore, we present a video anomaly detection system designed to identify abnormal image data within surveillance videos, leveraging the innovative network architecture described above.

Relationship between peer conformity and reproductive health maintenance behaviours among early adolescent girls in Islamic boarding schools
Authors: Juliningrum Peni Perdani , Sulistyorini Lantin , Qoriah Layinatul , Rahmawati Ira , Merina Nuning Dwi
Published: July 2024

Reproductive health problems are often experienced by early adolescents who live in Islamic boarding schools because Islamic boarding schools have a higher population density and interpersonal contact than other schools. In the early adolescent years, there is a tendency in terms of a solid urge to behave like peers, so conformity quickly occurs when adolescents adopt reproductive health care behaviours. This study aimed to determine the relationship between peer conformity and reproductive health maintenance behaviour of early adolescent girls at Islamic boarding schools. This study used a correlational research design with a cross-sectional approach and a purposive sampling technique conducted on 165 early adolescents. The analytical method used for this study was univariate and bivariate analysis tests, in bivariate tests using the Pearson test processed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The analysis showed that all early adolescents (100%) had a history of vaginal discharge. The results of the bivariate test showed a value of p=0.0001. The level of reproductive health maintenance behaviour is determined by the extent to which conformity occurs in adolescents. Conformity that occurs can affect and change one's perceptions and behaviour.
Woman and her role
Authors: D'Onofrio Felice
Published: July 2024

In the inevitable confrontation of opinions on the role of women, if aspects and perspectives for its greater valorization in the socio-cultural context of our time have been highlighted, sometimes, however, in the discussions a certain vindictive aspect has been privileged and as such a provocateur of confrontation. As a result, the real scope of the problem has not always been grasped, nor even less the natural boundaries in which it can be discussed also because, often, sex is not considered under the physiological aspect that still remains at the basis of the characteristics as well as of some specific operational capacities that best distinguish men and women.

Published: July 2024

Primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy (PMMTI) is a rare soft tissue tumor that has been recently described in only a few cases. A 10-month-old boy was admitted with a mass filling the abdomen and right hemothorax. Gross examination revealed a fragile, and occasionally gelatinous and rubbery mass. On microscopic examination, there were fibrillary off-white appearance with occasionally myxoid microcystic areas. Immunohistochemical examination results were as follows: BCOR (+), and SATB2 (+) with diffuse nuclear expression, Desmin (−), CD34 (−), S-100 (−), MyoD1 (−), Myogenin (−). The next-generation sequencing showed internal tandem duplication of the BCOR exon 15. In conclusion, PMMTI is a distinctive entity with unique characteristics. However, it can be clinically confused with other childhood malignancies such as neuroblastoma. Recurrence can be seen despite chemotherapy in patients with microscopic residue.

Authors: Marazi Baber Hameed , Pandit Mohammad Iqbal
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND:

The government of India consistently aims to achieve universal health coverage (UHC), but significant challenges in workforce, infrastructure, and service quality remain. The Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) scheme, launched in 2018, represents a major step toward UHC by providing health coverage to over 10.74 crore poor and vulnerable families.

OBJECTIVES:

This study aims to determine the magnitude of medical procedures performed before and after the implementation of the PM-JAY scheme and assess changes in the frequency of these procedures as a result of the scheme.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

We conducted a cross-sectional study at Government Medical College and its associated hospitals in Srinagar, empaneled under the PM-JAY scheme. Data were collected on surgical procedures performed in the departments of General Surgery, Ophthalmology, ENT, and Orthopaedics during two periods: before the scheme’s implementation (June 2017 to November 2017) and after its implementation (December 2021 to June 2022). Descriptive analysis was conducted to compare the frequency of procedures.

RESULTS:

The number of ophthalmology procedures significantly increased from 2634 before the implementation to 3443 after the implementation of the PM-JAY scheme. However, the frequency of procedures in General Surgery and ENT remained relatively stable, and Orthopaedics showed no significant change. The data indicated an overall increase in surgical procedures under the PM-JAY scheme, particularly in areas where surgeries were previously delayed due to financial constraints.

CONCLUSION:

The PM-JAY scheme has positively impacted the frequency of surgical procedures, particularly in the Ophthalmology department, suggesting increased accessibility and financial protection for patients. However, the stable numbers in General Surgery and ENT highlight the need for further targeted interventions to enhance the scheme’s reach and effectiveness across all departments.

Background:

The most affected public illness around the world in both industrialized and unindustrialized countries is chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). In a medical context, the measurement of lipid profile in the blood is considered as one of the most common diagnostic techniques. In addition, there is a correlation between increased level of cathepsin k (CatK) and CCS, and thus cathepsin is considered a useful biomarker for CCS.

Objective:

For the assessment of CatK, triglyceride (TG), cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL), very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and high density lipoprotein (HDL) level and to examine the probable relation of them with CCS in Babylon province.

Materials and Methods:

CatK, TG, cholesterol, LDL, VLDL, and HDL were estimated in 100 subjects; 50 patients with CCS and 50 healthy subjects participated in this study. Patients and control groups with an age ranged above 40 years. The CatK level was assessed by sandwich-ELISA technique whereas the level of TG, cholesterol, and HDL was assessed in serum by enzymatic colorimetric method. Also, cholesterol-LDL was measured by using Friedewald equation.

Results:

Serum level of CatK displayed a significant increase in CCS patients (P ≤ 0.01) compared with control group, whereas serum cholesterol-HDL level significantly decreased (P = 0.001). Also serum levels of cholesterol and cholesterol-LDL a significant increase (P ≤ 0.001), (P = 0.00) compared with control group. In contrast, the current study observed non-significant change in serum TG and VLDL (P = 0.45), (P = 0.71) respectively in CCS patients.

Authors: Chyad Sulaf Adil , Al Anbagi Rajaa Abdulrazzaq
Published: July 2024

Background:

The necessary urgent global response measures were implemented to contain the rapid spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Vaccination has been the most effective way to combat this pandemic.

Objective:

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the hematological parameters and COVID-19-specific antibodies in a healthy population with different COVID-19 and vaccination backgrounds, taking gender into account.

Materials and Methods:

The study involved 80 healthy adults who were categorized into four groups based on their COVID-19 and vaccination status. The male and female categorization was later added to these groups. Blood samples were collected and analyzed for COVID-19-specific antibodies, IgG and IgM, and complete blood count parameters. The samples were collected in Karbala, Iraq.

Results:

The results showed that the IgG levels of IV and NIV subsets were higher than INV NINV subsets at P value < 0.001. No significant differences were found in white blood cell parameters except for lymphocytes, neutrophils, and their ratio between the four groups. However, when gender was taken into account, few significant differences were observed in white blood cells, lymphocytes, and neutrophils between the groups. The platelet indices showed no significant changes within the individual groups or genders. Red blood cell variables also showed no significant changes between groups, but variations in red blood cells, hematocrit, and hemoglobin were found for each gender-divided group specifically (P value < 0.001).

Conclusion:

The present study concludes that vaccination mimics infection. No changes were observed for most hematological parameters between the four explored subsets. However, the study revealed gender-specific responses to red blood cell counts and other related parameters, reinforcing the importance of complete blood count testing and advocating a deeper exploration into gender-specific responses, especially for patients with specific hematological conditions.

Published: July 2024

Purpose The risk of suicide is approximately two times higher in patients with breast cancer compared to the general population. Suicide risk factors are widely investigated but research on the protective factors is lacking. We investigated whether each subscale of grit, consistency of interest, and perseverance of effort, could serve as a protective factor against suicidality.Materials and Methods Participants were recruited at the Stress Clinic for Cancer Patients, a psycho-oncology clinic at Asan Medical Center from May 2019 to March 2021. A total of 140 female patients with breast cancer completed self-administered questionnaires including Grit scale, Distress thermometer, and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) suicidality module. We used PROCESS macro for analyzing the mediation model to identify the protective factors for suicidality.Results Our findings showed that perseverance of effort showed statistically non-significant associations with psychological distress (p=0.403) and suicidality (p=0.945), however, consistency of interest decreased suicidality through psychological distress (β=–0.015; 95% confidence interval, –0.035 to –0.002).Conclusion The result shows that consistency of interest can be a protective factor against suicidality by reducing psychological distress.

Authors: Haider Rehan , Singh Pradeep Kumar , Sharma Kamal
Published: July 2024

Since the beginning of time, people have desired the best materials for
production. Metals are often too heavy to be used in manufacturing. Polymer
matrix composites (PMC) can be considered more dependable than metals in
practical applications because of their high strength-to-weight ratio so it is a
good alternative of metals. The article’s objective is to investigate the
various PMC properties that are reinforced with carbon fiber. CFRP (Carbon
fiber-reinforced polymer) was first made using the hand layup method with carbon
fiber as a reinforcement and epoxy resin as a matrix after a thorough literature
review. As CFRP have higher stiffness and superior “strength-to-weight ratio,”
fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites perform notably better than various
conventional metallic materials. The qualities of the matrix can be changed to
enhance the characterization of FRP composites. The mechanical qualities of FRP
composites have risen as a result of significant advancements in the application
of nanoparticles for betterment of the matrix and various tests were conducted
to calculate the properties of the composite.
Engineering Autonomous Mobility: Wired and Wireless CAN Bus Design Principles
Authors: Ali Zeina , Ibrahim Qutaiba
Published: July 2024

The controller area network (CAN) bus, the prevailing standard for in-vehicle networking (IVN), has been used for more than four decades, despite its simple architecture, to establish communications between electronic control units (ECUs). Weight, maintenance overheads, improved flexibility, and wiring complexity escalate as the quantity of ECUs rises, especially for high-demand autonomous vehicles (AVs). The primary objective of this study is to examine and discuss the significant challenges that arise during the migration from a wired CAN to a wireless CAN (WCAN). Suggested remedies include changing the configuration of the conventional ECU, creating a hidden wireless communication domain for each AV, and developing a plan to counteract the jamming signals. The simulation of the proposed WCAN was done using MATLAB and validated using OPNET analysis. The results showed that the packet loss of the eavesdropping electronic control unit ranged from 63% to 100%. Anti-jamming results show that when packet loss reaches 2% for a continuous period of time of 0.01 sec, the passive channel is automatically activated, ensuring secure data transmission.

Authors: Rădulescu Maria-Venera
Published: July 2024

The stove tiles from the 15th and 16th centuries discovered in some countries in Central Europe often approach, as decoration, the theme of the medieval knight. The archaeological research carried out on the territory of Romania brought to light a vast and diverse material related to this subject. The present study analyzes three stove tiles discovered in Muntenia - at Târgovişte and Curtea de Argeş, former princely courts and capitals of Wallachia, in the Middle Ages, pieces whose iconographic theme is “the knight in the tournament”. The specimens, chronologically dated between the end of the 14th century and the 16th century, stand out for the original character of the compositions.

"Modern world, saturated with innovations and digital technologies, opens numerous opportunities for development and convenience. However, along with these opportunities, the likelihood of becoming a target of fraud rises. Financial crimes are becoming more pronounced and sophisticated, utilizing new technical and social methods of influence. With these changes, existing risks, including fraud risk, have significantly increased. In spite of extensive endeavors to eliminate fraudulent actions, apparently fraud in its different forms persists and is escalating in both occurrence and magnitude. Identifying fraud schemes is a crucial aspect of fraud detection. Detecting fraud risks at an early stage can bolster investor protection, enhance investment returns, prevent costly legal battles, and promote efficient operation. This study concentrates on the various facets of fraud. It examines the pre and post-effects of fraud. It also involves extensive research on the available literature on financial and non-financial frauds and has come out with a conceptual model that helps to give an overall 360-degree view of the concept of fraud. This work gives a theoretical insight into fraud. It reveals a five-part comprehensive approach termed as the 5S approach to analyze and view the concept of fraud, namely the Segregation of fraud, Schemes used to commit these frauds, Stimulus for committing these types of frauds, the Significant Consequences or the resultant effects of fraud and finally the ways of reducing or countering these frauds or the specific remedies to negate or overcome these frauds."
