As one of the least digitalized industries in the world, the building and construction sector has faced great challenges in sustainable growth. The high-fragmented structure and high threshold for R&D investment has prevented the building and construction industry from swift technological innovation. In many industries, artificial intelligence (AI) is producing revolution, e.g., retail, telecommunications, and helps make profits, improve efficiency, security and safety. But application of this advanced technology to building sector seems largely fall behind. AI is considered able to assist waste reduction by decision making on complexity, assist energy management (e.g., identify the black hole of energy consumption during operation, and data mining and machine learning of big data to optimize scenario for sustainability or enable real-time feedback and regulation during operation) in building and construction industry. Earlier research on technological innovation in Yangtze River Delta has revealed that AI has less than 10 records of patent filing in the dataset and has rarely mixed with other technologies so far. Different from other technologies that state owned enterprises more or less have a role in the knowledge production, applicant in the field of AI is mainly private in nature – the known companies are from Zhejiang. In view of these inadequacies, a broader look at how this technology is being used at greater geographic sphere is in need. This research broadens the search of patent applications in AI in the field of building construction to reveal the panorama of how this technology has been applied across the globe. It generates insights into the potential of AI in building industry and opens discussing forum for future.

Authors: Ahmed Jaafar Omer , Qasab Zana Ahmad , Saeed Sarhang Ibrahim
Published: February 2025

Homosexuality has a long history. The public is exposed to scientific findings through media reports; there are many misunderstandings about homosexuality; and as a result, a person who has homosexual feelings suffers minor stress. Two different directions have emerged. One believes that homosexuals are responsible for the spread of diseases. The second one believes that homosexuality is a normal behavior. The main goal of this narrative review is to revisit this issue, emphasizing the need for consistent interpretation and ongoing research. This review is framed using insights from recent scientific resources. Four main terms related to homosexuality (sex, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation) and their dimensions are discussed. Some data about homosexual orientations and behaviors are explained. Homosexuality in the past and present, its history as a mental disorder until its removal from textbooks, and its relationship with mental health are mentioned. The reasons why a person is homosexual are multifaceted, etiologically complex, and unclear. Both views—biological and environmental factors—are clarified. Changes in the understanding of homosexuality continue due to the influence of politics, society, and religion. We need more research to better understand the phenomenon, all aspects of the causes, and how to deal with them. These efforts must be free from political and religious directions.

Published: February 2025

This study highlights that the practice of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in prison, based on the experiences of various countries such as the United States, England, Australia, France, Japan, and Canada, does not have a single pattern. The diversity of PPP practice patterns in prison is identified by this study in various prison PPP models consisting of: 1) the "private governance" model; 2) the "hybrid management" model; 3) the "service infrastructure" model; and 4) the "contracting out certain limited functions" model. Through a literature study combined with an analysis of policy design theory, this study explains that the diversity of prison PPP models is based on a diverse implementation process in which there are various considerations for the implementation of each model. The various considerations for the implementation of those models are generally grouped into instrumental and political explanations. The implementation of the "private governance" model is a political and administrative decision. The implementation of the "hybrid management" and "service infrastructure" models are administrative decisions with political support. The implementation of the "contracting out certain limited functions" model is an administrative decision.

Assessment of the Impact of Marble Waste on Ground Water Quality Parameters
Authors: Singh Hanumant
Published: February 2025

Marble waste, a byproduct of extensive mining and processing activities, poses significant environmental challenges, particularly concerning groundwater contamination. This study assesses the impact of marble waste on groundwater quality parameters in areas with significant marble processing activities. Groundwater samples were collected from various sites, including those near marble waste disposal areas and control sites, and analyzed for key physicochemical parameters such as pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), and heavy metals (lead, cadmium, chromium). The results revealed substantial deviations in groundwater quality in areas near marble waste disposal sites compared to control locations. Elevated pH levels, high TDS, and increased turbidity were observed, alongside heavy metal concentrations that exceeded permissible limits set by international standards. Seasonal analysis indicated contamination peaks during the dry season due to reduced dilution capacity. Correlation analysis highlighted strong relationships between turbidity and heavy metal concentrations, suggesting that particulate matter facilitates the transport of contaminants. This study underscores the urgent need for sustainable waste management practices to mitigate the environmental impacts of marble waste. Recommendations include recycling marble waste, implementing advanced waste treatment technologies, and enforcing stricter regulatory measures. These findings provide critical insights for policymakers and stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of preserving groundwater quality for environmental sustainability and public health.

As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) acometem o sistema cardiovascular e proporcionam diversos tipos de comprometimentos à saúde do indivíduo, podendo ocasionar em morte ou sequelas permanentes. Dentre essas doenças, temos a aterosclerose que é uma placa ateromatosa causando obstrução vascular, gerando hipóxia ou necrose nos tecidos afetados. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi traçar o perfil da morbidade hospitalar por aterosclerose na região nordeste do Brasil conforme o sexo. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa do tipo ecológica de séries temporais. Para este estudo foram utilizadas informações dos dados secundários referentes à morbidade hospitalar por aterosclerose cadastrados no Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS (SIH/SUS), considerando os seus Estados do Nordeste do Brasil. Foram avaliados os cruzamentos das variáveis: sexo com internações/média de permanência/óbitos/taxa de mortalidade, do período de fevereiro/2018 a fevereiro/2023. Na análise dos dados foi observado uma predominância de internações do sexo feminino em alguns estados, como: Ceará (67,62%), Piauí (68,69%) e Maranhão (70,62%). Observou-se ainda que as mulheres lideraram em número de óbitos em todos os estados exceto na Paraíba (49,43%), e também na taxa de mortalidade nos estados: Maranhão (3,73), Ceará (5,78), Sergipe (6,66) e Bahia (5,6). Quanto a média de permanência hospitalar, o único estado com alguma diferença significativa entre os sexos foi o Ceará (9,6), com as mulheres sendo maioria nessa variável. Portanto, pesquisas mais recentes e um maior incentivo para notificações dessa patologia são necessários, pois ainda existem muitas limitações quanto a coleta de dados necessários para uma análise mais profunda desses casos.

This work investigates the interface between Lean Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 using bibliometric analysis to identify core themes and trace their developmental trajectories. Using Bibliometric Network Analysis (BNA) and SCIMAT software to visualise and categorise themes and keywords, allowing for a nuanced exploration of thematic networks, Key findings demonstrate that Lean Manufacturing principles, such as waste reduction and process optimization, assume renewed significance in the context of Industry 4.0 technologies like IoT, AI, and big data analytics. This discovery emphasizes that while Lean Manufacturing offers a solid organisational base for digital transformation, Industry 4.0 technologies enhance and expand Lean practices, leading to increased operational efficiency, cost reductions, and improved product quality. This research contributes to both academic and industrial landscapes by mapping out the themes associated with Lean Manufacturing and Industry 4.0, providing valuable insights for future research and practical applications.

The Gbest-guided Artificial Bee Colony (GABC) algorithm is a latest swarm intelligencebased approach to solve optimization problem. In GABC, the individuals update their respective positions by drawing inspiration from the global best solution available in the current swarm. The GABC is a popular variant of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm and is proved to be an efficient algorithm in terms of convergence speed. But, in this strategy, each individual is simply influenced by the global best solution, which may lead to trap in local optima. Therefore, in this paper, a new search strategy, namely “Fully Informed Learning” is incorporated in the onlooker bee phase of ABC algorithm. The developed algorithm is named as Fully Informed Artificial Bee Colony (FABC) algorithm. To validate the performance of FABC, it is tested on 20 well known benchmark optimization problems of different complexities. The results are compared with GABC and some more recent variants of ABC. The results are very promising and show that the proposed algorithm is a competitive algorithm in the field of swarm intelligence-based algorithms.

A ansiedade é classificada, através do Manual de Diagnóstico e Estatística dos Transtornos Mentais em ansiedade normal e patológica, a ansiedade patológica ocorre quando essa emoção causa uma sensação desagradavel no portador, enquanto a ansiedade normal é desenvolvida evolutivamente no indivíduo. Segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), estima-se que uma taxa de 3,7% da população mundial sofre desse transtorno. Esse sentimento quando é caracterizado como patológico gera um impacto negativo na qualidade de vida dos portadores, influenciando a saúde física, psicológica, condição de vida e relações sociais, desse modo, a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos é impactada negativamente. Nesse sentido o presente estudo busca, destacar a presença desse transtorno em estudantes do curso de medicina, através da literatura publicada nos últimos anos. Num recorte de 10 trabalhos acerca do tema, verificamos que a OMS destaca que 3.7% da população mundial sofre desse transtorno; entretanto, através dos estudos é possível notar uma taxa superior a 3,7%. Além disso, pesquisas demonstraram que além da ansiedade, estudantes de medicina possuem privação do sono que pode impactar negativamente a qualidade de vida dos estudantes. Em suma, é importante compreender e classificar a ansiedade patológica em estudantes de medicina, a fim de evitar o desenvolvimento desse transtorno nessa população que sofre do transtorno e enfrenta fatores externos à sua formação, para obter uma melhora na qualidade de vida desses indivíduos.
