Published: August 2024

The idea of determining the optimum bid amount in any railway tender competition has been a complex and critical task. Reasonable pricing is the main gateway in the process of winning contracts. The approach presented here is based on data-driven pricing to maximize tender wins and reduce potential profit loss. The model shall make use of historical tender data, competitor pricing data, and market indicators in order to predict the optimal bid amounts. This advanced ML model runs advanced machine learning algorithms, including regression models and ensembles, to study the intricate relationship between factors that would affect the successful execution of a bid. Deep learning models are integrated into the model to provide it with better handling of temporal dependencies and other hidden patterns in data, hence yielding accurate and robust predictions. The key objective of the work is to increase the winning rate of tender contracts by at least 10%, while competitive profitability is ensured. Because of precise competitor price predictions, business success criteria are oriented to reaching this higher win rate on tenders. The Machine learning success criteria target a price prediction accuracy of at least 90%. Another important set of economic success criteria that should be targeted is an improvement in profit margins of at least 5% through more accurate pricing strategies and a reduction in the number of rejected bids. It will offer great value to the businesses operating in the railway industry in making proper decisions on operations and strategic planning. The paper develops a fusion of traditional statistical methodologies with advanced ML and DL techniques in order to provide a robust solution for competitive advantage and increased profitability in the dynamic and competitive railway tender market.

Published: August 2024

Technological advancements impact various sectors of life, including animal husbandry, which is an important part of the education curriculum. Innovations are needed to optimize livestock management, especially ruminant farming, which is crucial for producing meat and milk. SMKN 1 Bawen, with its study program focusing on ruminant farming (cows, sheep, and goats), still uses conventional recording methods, leading to inefficiencies and limited information for potential buyers. To address this, a QR Code-based livestock management and identification system was developed and integrated into a website and Android application using agile methods. Black box testing confirmed that all features function well. Stress testing on the website with 2 Mbps bandwidth showed 98% successful requests and 2% failed requests, with a data transmission speed of 52,816 bits per second and a reception speed of 268,624 bits per second. At 50 Mbps bandwidth, the system had a 100% success rate, with a data sending speed of 44,304 bits per second and a receiving speed of 343,272 bits per second, demonstrating good and stable performance across different bandwidths. The Android application, tested on a POCO X3 with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage, showed a highest CPU usage of 39%, memory usage of 326 MB, and network speeds of 10.3 KB/s for data received and 535.9 KB/s for data sent. These results indicate that the application runs optimally and is suitable for use.

The 30 yr orbit of the Cepheid Polaris has been followed with observations by the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array from 2016 through 2021. An additional measurement has been made with speckle interferometry at the Apache Point Observatory. Detection of the companion is complicated by its comparative faintness—an extreme flux ratio. Angular diameter measurements appear to show some variation with pulsation phase. Astrometric positions of the companion were measured with a custom grid-based model-fitting procedure and confirmed with the CANDID software. These positions were combined with the extensive radial velocities (RVs) discussed by Torres to fit an orbit. Because of the imbalance of the sizes of the astrometry and RV data sets, several methods of weighting are discussed. The resulting mass of the Cepheid is 5.13 ± 0.28 M
⊙. Because of the comparatively large eccentricity of the orbit (0.63), the mass derived is sensitive to the value found for the eccentricity. The mass combined with the distance shows that the Cepheid is more luminous than predicted for this mass from evolutionary tracks. The identification of surface spots is discussed. This would give credence to the identification of a radial velocity variation with a period of approximately 120 days as a rotation period. Polaris has some unusual properties (rapid period change, a phase jump, variable amplitude, and unusual polarization). However, a pulsation scenario involving pulsation mode, orbital periastron passage, and low pulsation amplitude can explain these characteristics within the framework of pulsation seen in Cepheids.

Background

Injuries to peripheral nerves are one of the most serious obstacles that remain without solution for now. Although there are obvious advances in microsurgery, severe types of nervous system injuries are very difficult to cure without complications.

Aim

To evaluate and compare the effect of platelet-rich plasma-supplemented bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (PRP-supplemented MSCs) and fetal bovine serum-supplemented bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (FBS-supplemented MSCs) in treatment of surgically-induced sciatic nerve crush injury.

Materials and methods

Seventy five adult male albino rats were equally divided into five groups 15 each. Sciatic nerve specimens were obtained and examined by light microscope.

Results

Compared with control group, the sciatic nerve specimens of the injury group showed loosely packed nerve fibers with perivascular cellular infiltration surrounded by discontinuous perineurium. On the other hand, both FBS-supplemented MSCs group and PRP-supplemented MSCs group showed improvement in these changes. But the improvement was markedly observed in PRP-supplemented MSCs group more than FBS-supplemented MSCs.

Conclusion

PRP-supplemented MSCs can reduce the pathological changes induced by crush injury to the sciatic nerve of adult male albino rats more than FBS-supplemented MSCs.

With the increasing demand of human–machine interaction under a scenario of the
novel Maintenance Strategy 5.0, it sparks off a growing requisition of reliable
maintenance strategies to maintain operations in good order. In this study, a
novel hierarchical maintenance strategy model based on multi-criteria decision
analysis (MCDA) is proposed to pledge scientific maintenance. First, failure
mode and effects analysis (FMEA) based on negative information and Deng entropy
is introduced to assess the equipment maintenance requirement level.
Subsequently, the improved average rank method is selected to fit the Weibull
distribution function, which is able to better qualify the characteristics
lifespan of target equipment. Moreover, hybrid effect with multi-criteria
decision-making, in aspects of risk priority, expert assessment as well as human
interference of failure are deduced, which highlights the scientific
significance and credibility of the recommended maintenance levels and times.
Finally, the feasibility of the predictive maintenance schedule is verified
through gray correlation analysis (GRA). Overall, the proposed model takes into
account the effects brought by failure modes, subjective uncertainty, and human
interference on the maintenance strategy; it, therefore, provides a new insight
on the assessment of the intertwined relationship between maintenance and
reliability.

Potential applications and effects of silymarin in domestic animals – a review
Authors: Đuričić Dražen , Sablić Mirela
Published: August 2024

Silymarin is a mixture of flavonolignan fractions from the medicinal plant milk thistle, which is primarily used as a hepatoprotector in humans and animals, and acts as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, and antiapoptotic agent. As a dietary supplement, it is increasingly used to treat various liver diseases, some intoxications, prevent side effects of chemotherapy and protect the kidneys in dogs, birds, poultry, rabbits, cats, horses and other animals. The use of silymarin in dairy cows showed an improved biochemical profile of cows, reduced occurrence of ketosis and increased milk production. In pigs, nutrient digestibility, total average daily feed intake, and average daily weight gain improved, while in sport horses, silymarin supplementation accelerated the return of cortisol levels to pre-exercise levels. Lipidosis of the liver or fatty liver disease is a common disorder among captive parrots. After long-term administration of 100–150 mg/kg silymarin in food every 8–12 hours, the health condition improved significantly according to the testimonies of parrot owners and veterinarians. In intensive poultry production systems, silymarin is used in broilers as a hepatotonic, to improve carcass characteristics, to boost the immune system and intestinal health, and as a growth promoter, and in laying hens to improve egg quality. In addition, it mitigated the negative effects of mycotoxins in broilers,chickens and Japanese quails. Although numerous studies are known about the effect of milk thistle and silymarin, their use on animals is not yet widespread.

Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by different pathogenic serovars of the genus Leptospira, with very complex aetiology and epidemiology. Recent publications suggest that wild boar (Sus scrofa) has an important role in the epizootiology of leptospirosis, representing a potential source of infection. Wild boar populations in urban environments are increasing, posing not only agricultural and ecosystem concerns, but also a public health concern. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, temporal patterns and risk factors of Pomona infection in wild boars from areas with pronounced human activity. A total of 159 wild boar serum samples were collected within a health monitoring project in Medvednica Nature Park over a period of six hunting seasons (2012–2016; 2018) and 25.2% samples tested positive. Seropositivity against seven different serogroups was observed, with the highest number of positive reactions to the serogroup Pomona. Annual variation in Pomona reactivity was also detected, and positive reactions were five times more common in females than in males. In most of studies, adults had a higher seroprevalence than younger categories; however, in this study,seroprevalence against Pomona was higher in piglets and subadults. The results indicate that wild boar has the potential of maintaining serovars from the serogroup Pomona in certain natural foci. Due to the expansion of wild boar populations and their intrusion into urban areas, they should be considered a potentially important source of infection for humans and domestic animals.

In the midst of this modern era, it feels like people are starting to forget the meaning of Christian brotherhood. The practice of exercising compassion is increasingly fading, especially since people are increasingly busy in their own world. Now, modern humans are more likely to be "indifferent" to other people. They tend to spend their time in cyberspace or social media. Of course, changes in human attitudes greatly influence one another. Jesus' teachings about love no longer concern Christians. To correct this, Christians must look again at what love really means, and what should be done so that brotherhood is not lost further. In this article, the author will discuss how love is the basis for building brotherhood in the context of church and society, with the basis of the Bible from Yohanes 13:34-35.

Indonesia is a country that has advantages in the agricultural sector which has the largest plantation and agricultural areas in ASEAN, one of which is oil palm plantations. Indonesia is one of the largest crude palm oil (CPO) business players in the world. More and more palm oil mills and oil palm land are being converted to oil palm cultivation, because oil palm plantations are more beneficial for farmers and palm oil processors. Palm oil plantations are still trying in several ways to maintain stable market demand, one of which is by increasing palm oil production, because palm oil is the main source of other product derivatives. Palm oil production fluctuates every month, but the ups and downs are caused by many factors, namely climate, rainfall, soil fertility, selling prices, and others. Reduced production has a direct impact on the income of farmers and workers in the sector, which in turn can cause economic instability. Actions are needed to ensure the continuity of this industry, one of which is by making predictions. One prediction technique is the Backpropagation artificial neural network. The prediction model can provide very accurate estimates of palm oil production at the provincial level. By analyzing historical data, this research can identify patterns that can help predict future palm oil production. The urgency lies in the strategic role of palm oil in the Indonesian economy.
