Authors: Silva Andrey Camurça da , Tanaka Filho Mario
Published: January 2025

Este artigo explora a viabilidade de utilizar a Inteligência Artificial (IA) generativa - modelos que têm a capacidade de gerar conteúdo inédito a partir de dados pré-existentes - no processo de criação e revisão de itens para avaliação do aprendizado em matemática, a qual pode se tornar mais um recurso de auxílio ao professor. Para isso, propõe-se um modelo básico de comando textual que fornece orientações gerais para a elaboração de itens, a partir da descrição da habilidade a ser avaliada pelo item e de um contexto que o item deve abordar. Alguns dos itens gerados, juntamente com itens elaborados por especialistas, foram respondidos por um grupo de estudantes e posteriormente submetidos a uma análise de parâmetros como poder discriminativo, consistência interna e nível de dificuldade. O estudo revelou limitações em alguns itens, especificamente no comando para resposta e nas alternativas, apresentando também ausência de gabarito em alguns casos. No entanto, alguns itens gerados exibiram um poder discriminativo semelhante ao dos itens produzidos por especialistas, destacando o potencial desses recursos como auxiliares no processo de elaboração de itens.

Published: January 2025

A inteligência artificial (IA) aliada à educação tem sido alvo de intensos debates que colocam em xeque seu potencial disruptivo e seu horizonte de possibilidades. Neste escopo é que se debruça o presente artigo, ao propor a análise do papel da IA na educação, focando em seus impactos e desafios para os professores. O objetivo é entender como a IA pode transformar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem e qual o papel dos professores em meio a esse panorama. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e bibliográfica, analisando o estado da arte da literatura científica sobre o tema. A metodologia incluiu a seleção de artigos científicos disponíveis no Portal Periódicos CAPES e no SciELO Citation Index (SciELO CI), filtrando publicações nacionais em português, produzidas entre 2019 e 2024. Os termos de busca utilizados foram “professores e inteligência artificial” e “inteligência artificial e educação”. A partir dessa busca, foram selecionados 21 artigos que compõem o corpus de análise. Os resultados apontam que, embora a IA apresente benefícios como eficiência e personalização do ensino, ela também pode intensificar desigualdades no acesso às tecnologias e conduzir a uma superficialidade do processo de ensino e aprendizagem baseado em seu uso, caso não haja a devida capacitação docente. Conclui-se que, apesar da celeuma em torno da inserção da IA nos sistemas educacionais, ela não substituirá os professores, mas poderá complementar suas funções. A implementação da IA na educação deve ser feita de forma ética, equilibrada e engajada, garantindo acesso equitativo às tecnologias e a formação continuada dos professores, ressaltando a necessidade de atuação eficaz do Estado nesse processo.

Published: January 2025

Urban art festivals are of great importance to strengthen the social and cultural life of communities, as they provide people with the opportunity to meet and enjoy various forms of creative expression, such as art, music, and dance, and also stimulate citizen participation. Evaluating the cultural and social impact generated by these festivals is essential to understanding their process and development, seeking future improvements, and ensuring their sustainability over time. For this reason, we have focused on the evaluation of the Callegenera Urban Expressions Festival, which has been held uninterruptedly in Monterrey, Mexico, from 2011 to 2022. Through qualitative research with in-depth interviews and life stories, the festival was explored as a space of introspection where boundaries are blurred to make room for art. We examined the emotional state of urban artists and graffiti writers, as well as the creative process through the intervention of space and economic aspects. In this way, we sought to understand the impact that this festival can have on the growth of the metropolitan area and its surroundings.
Sustainability of primary healthcare services through community participation: Assessing the role of ward development committees in northwestern Nigeria
Authors: Gulma Kabiru Abubakar
Published: January 2025

This study assessed 191 ward development committees (WDCs) and 200 primary healthcare center (PHC) catchment communities in Kebbi State, northwestern Nigeria, to determine the status and functionality of WDCs and their level of engagement with PHCs. The existence of other community structures relevant to primary health care was also explored. The study employed a cross-sectional design involving questionnaire survey with members of WDCs, health facility workers, and community members, in addition to reviewing records and documentation at PHCs and in the communities. The study found a pervasive existence and functioning of WDCs in all wards in Kebbi State. Almost all WDCs hold regular monthly meetings, with meeting notes available for the majority. While most of the WDCs had independent means of generating funds, the majority of them did not have functional bank accounts. We found that most WDCs performed key roles and activities, including supervision of health facilities, social mobilization, monitoring performance indicators, and using data for decision-making. We also found that the majority of the communities had other community-level structures, such as traditional birth attendants, volunteer community health workers, and the existence of a community emergency transport system to transfer pregnant women to PHCs during emergencies. WDCs and other community-based structures can potentially improve primary healthcare services in Kebbi State. However, efforts to optimize their performance are needed, including strengthening WDCs’ capacity for financial management and encouraging a more widespread existence of other community-based health-related initiatives. Primary healthcare services in Kebbi State can be improved by optimizing the performance of WDCs and other community-based structures, leading to better health outcomes for the population.

Published: January 2025

The increase in prevalence of liver diseases and lack of versatile treatment options for end-stage liver diseases stresses the need for novel approaches and advanced technologies for developing physiologically and pathologically relevant models of liver. Liver bioengineering through bioprinting has emerged as a pivotal area of research, aiming to address the critical shortage of donor organs and improve drug testing and disease modeling. Through bioprinting the complex structure, composition and geometry of liver microstructure can be replicated to give rise to liver models that can mimic the healthy or diseased tissue. These capabilities render bioprinted liver models suitable for advancing drug discovery and testing studies, as well as disease modeling. This review paper explores the application of bioprinting technologies in liver tissue engineering, highlighting the progress in the field through exploring materials, cell sources and new current techniques used in bioprinting of liver models. Additionally, the article explores spheroid printing and current preclinical models as well as key challenges and future perspectives. This comprehensive overview aims to provide insights into the current state of liver bioengineering through bioprinting and to identify future directions for research and clinical application.

Authors: Shreen Sara , Ali Mir Wajahath , Khan Mohammed Arshad , Majeed Sulaiman Abdul , Haq Mohammed Misbah Ul
Published: January 2025

Hypoglycemia is a serious adverse effect in the pharmacological treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), exacerbated by comorbidities that affect drug metabolism and clearance. This report describes a case involving a 61-year-old man with hypertension and T2DM. The patient experienced hypoglycemia while taking a combination of voglibose and metformin hydrochloride. His condition was further complicated by urosepsis, acute-on-chronic kidney disease, and hydroureteronephrosis calculi, which likely altered drug clearance and pharmacokinetics. This condition increased his risk of hypoglycemia. Effective management required close monitoring of blood glucose levels and adjustments to the treatment regimen, considering his renal impairment. This case highlights the risks associated with combination therapy in patients with renal issues and underscores the importance of personalized treatment plans, vigilant glucose monitoring, and consideration of renal function to reduce the risk of drug-induced hypoglycemia in patients with T2DM and comorbidities.
Adoption of Regenerative Farming Practices in Agriculture: A Real Option Analysis
Authors: Stofferis Berend J. , Baarsma Barbara E. , Soltani Taimaz
Published: January 2025

We apply a real option analysis to the investment decision of US corn farmers to switch from conventional farming to regenerative farming under a carbon credit system. We establish the existence of significant ”wait and see” effects that form a barrier for adoption of regenerative farming practices among farmers. Depending on assumed volatility levels, carbon credit price levels required to incentivize farmers sufficiently to consider switching practices can be twice as high than a traditional cost-benefit analysis would suggest. Farms with more corn acreage experience lower price thresholds to adopt regenerative farming than smaller farms. Finally, we show how individual practice changes such as the degree of nitrogen fertilizer reduction impact the propensity to switch.

Authors: David Nizharadze David Nizharadze
Published: January 2025

In the modern, globalized business landscape, international corporations play a major role in integrated economic processes, possessing significant financial resources, a high level of employment and a large volume of output. The success of these corporations in an internationally competitive environment largely depends on the decision-making model adopted by their multicultural management. It should also be noted that international corporations are a network of interconnected companies that, after exhausting their capabilities in the host country and the local market, begin to internationalize their business through a subsidiary, a branch of a foreign enterprise or a representative office of a foreign company in different parts of the world.
Based on the above, the study of trends and prospects for the operation of international corporations, both in the global arena and in Georgia, is highly relevant and has practical scientific significance.
The aim of this paper is to identify the regularities of the activities of international corporations operating in the international and Georgian markets and to study the specifics of their decision-making on market expansion. The research process used qualitative and quantitative research, induction, deduction and synthesis methods.
Keywords: International Corporation, Decision-Making, Home Country, Subsidiary, Branch of a Foreign Enterprise, Representative Office of a Foreign Enterprise, International Operations.

These results highlight the need for further research and have implications for inclusive practices in early childhood settings.
Evaluating Stress-Strength Reliability Estimation Technique: A Study on Ranked Set Sampling for the Beta-Lomax Distribution
Authors: Abuhedary Mujtaba Zuhair Ali , Khamnei Hossein Jabbari , Heydari Ali Akbar
Published: January 2025

Reliability, a crucial aspect in engineering and project management, signifies the likelihood of a system or project enduring without malfunction over a specified duration. Typically, the random variable X embodies the lifespan of the system or project. Stress-strength reliability, on the other hand, gauges the assurance that a product or process remains unaffected by stress Y. Extensive literature explores the point estimation and testing of R(t) = P(X > t) (the survival function of the random variable), and P = P(Y < X), delving into methods to enhance reliability assessment. This paper delves into the estimation of R(t) and stress-strength reliability P through ranked set sampling (RSS), assuming independence between stress Y and strength X, both following the Beta-Lomax (BL) distribution. Through rigorous analysis, the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for R(t) and P is derived, subsequently juxtaposed with its simple random sampling (SRS) equivalent to gauge performance. By applying this methodology to real data from Wheaton River, the study underscores the practicality and efficacy of the proposed approach. By offering a comprehensive analysis of reliability and stress-strength reliability estimation utilizing RSS and the BL distribution, this research furnishes valuable insights for practitioners and researchers in the field. The integration of innovative sampling techniques and statistical methodologies not only enhances the precision of estimations but also underscores the importance of robust reliability assessments in ensuring the longevity and efficiency of systems and projects.
Entrepreneurial Strategies in Livestock Inventory Management with Trade Credit
Authors: P Jayashri , S Umamaheswari
Published: January 2025

Amelioration and deterioration rates play a vital role in inventory management. Some animals lose value due to illness, death, or other incidents as they gain weight when kept on farms in good health. Organizations and entrepreneurs can maximize the operational efficiency and health of their animals through a well-organized and efficient inventory system. The proposed inventory model provides a more realistic assumption of livestock with a Weibull amelioration rate and constant deterioration rate. In the inventory domain, trade credit plays a vital role in minimizing costs, in maintaining an adequate livestock supply, and in maximizing the credit period. The main objective of this article is not only to improve financial performance but also to enable livestock operations to satisfy market demands, to manage resources, and to successfully navigate the complex world of credit-based transactions. This inventory system is mathematically modelled by differential equations, and the total cost is determined. The optimality of the solved nonlinear minimization problem is verified by using pseudo concavity. Partial Swam Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) are designed to determine the optimal cycle length, the optimal credit period and the order quantity. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the solution procedure for various cases of the proposed inventory model. Sensitivity analysis serves as a validation tool, providing a discerning assessment of the strength and flexibility of the model in response to variations in key parameters.

Published: January 2025

Interdonato lemon (Citrus limon) is a rich source of pectin. However, commercial extraction and application in jam and jelly have not been performed yet. The study's objective was to use ethanol and acetone precipitation to extract pectin from Interdonato lemon. Interdonato lemon was taken and passed through preliminary treatment to obtain albedo and dried in a dryer at 65 °C for 12 hr. To extract pectin, the dried albedo was heated in acidic water (pH 1 for both ethanol and acetone extraction maintained with citric acid) at 88 °C for 45 minutes. The resulting slurry was then filtered using muslin cloth, rinsed with hot water (88 °C), and filtered using Whatman No. 41 filter paper. Finally, the filtrate was precipitated using 95% ethanol and acetone in a ratio of 2:1 (sample: solvent), and centrifuged at 4,500 rpm for 20 min. The pectin was scrapped and dried in a hot air oven at 48 to 52 °C for 15 hr (ethanol) and a similar temperature for 18 hr (acetone). Ethanol-extracted pectin was superior in terms of chemical and physical analysis. Statistical analysis showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in all parameters of ethanol and acetone-extracted pectin except anhydrouronic acid (AUA) % and ash content. Moreover, the best pectin was utilized in the preparation of three pineapple jelly samples prepared with different extracted pectin concentrations (0.75%, 1%, and 1.5%) and coded as A, B, and C and compared with pineapple jelly prepared with Analytical Reagent (AR) grade pectin (100 grade) coded with sample D. From the sensory evaluations, sample B showed superior in terms of color, appearance, taste, texture, and overall acceptance. Hence, the findings highlighted actionable recommendations for commercially extracted pectin from the Interdonato lemon fruit albedo portion and applied to different food and pharmaceutical products.

Published: January 2025

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) parameters and performance in soccer players.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design to assess HRV parameters in a cohort of twenty-nine male athletes, aged 18 to 20 years, randomly selected from the Macapá Sports Club team in the Amazon region. Resting HRV data for ten minutes while maintaining normal breathing, acquired with a Polar V800 heart rate monitor recording at a sampling rate of 1,000 Hz, were analyzed using Kubios HRV software to extract time domain: mean of the normal sinus intervals (MRR), the standard deviation of normal sinus (NN) intervals (SDNN), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), the percentage of times that the change in consecutive normal sinus intervals exceeded 50 ms (pNN50), and frequency domain: low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and LF/HF ratio parameters. Factor analysis was then performed using principal component (PC) extraction and varimax rotation. The logarithmic transformation [normalized LF/HF by logarithmic transformation (LF/HFNormlog)] was applied to address this non-normality before factor analysis.
Results: The first two PCs showed that 87.4% of the total variance was explained by the original variables. The LF (–0.93), HF (0.93), and LF/HFNormlog (–0.92) parameters contributed significantly to PC1, also known as the frequency domain component. In contrast, the MRR (0.60), SDNN (0.91), RMSSD (0.89), and pNN50 (0.79) parameters contributed to PC2, also known as the time domain component.
Conclusions: This study provides valuable evidence of the complex relationship between autonomic factors affecting HRV parameters in soccer players. Identifying two distinct PCs related to sympathetic and parasympathetic activity highlights the importance of monitoring HRV to optimize performance and recovery. Machine learning is important to monitor these changes in the possible molecular mechanisms controlling HRV in soccer players.

Risk factors, prevention, diagnosis, and immunotherapy’s involvement in the fight against oral cancer: a comprehensive review
Authors: Naim Mohd Javed
Published: January 2025

Oral cancer is rare in Western nations but widespread in high-risk regions around the globe. Risk factors, such as tobacco usage, alcohol intake, and betel nut chewing, enhance the chance of the illness, making it mostly avoidable. Due to its high mortality, early detection is crucial. Prevention and diagnosis begin with oral mucosa lesions that may be malignant and local diseases that cause persistent inflammation. Clinical therapies for oral cancer mostly include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Unsatisfactory therapeutic impact and harmful side effects remain clinical treatment’s key issues. Future research should examine the cancer microenvironment and treatment. This review examined oral cancer risk factors, preventative strategies, and early diagnostic approaches. This review also discusses immunotherapy methods for countering this fatal disease. Immunotherapy targeting the cancer microenvironment may provide a novel oral cancer treatment.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common and serious complication in critically ill patients, particularly those requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. Extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a significant threat in VAP cases, complicating treatment due to its exceptionally high level of antibiotic resistance. We present a case of a 62-year-old male patient with severe acute ischemic stroke, who developed VAP during his stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). Cultures confirmed XDR Acinetobacter baumannii as the causative organism. The infection was further complicated by the development of a lung abscess, a rare but severe consequence of VAP. The patient was treated with a targeted antimicrobial regimen consisting of colistin, vancomycin, and tigecycline. Despite the pathogen’s resistance profile, the patient’s infection showed gradual improvement with sustained treatment. However, the recovery process was significantly prolonged due to the complexity of the infection, necessitating extended supportive care during hospitalization. This case highlights the challenges posed by XDR infections in critically ill patients and the importance of a tailored antimicrobial approach to effectively manage severe complications such as lung abscess.

In this paper, the dynamic behavior of a twin-tube automotive hydraulic damper is studied. A front axle car damper is subjected to experiments in both phases compression and rebound. Accurate CFD simulations are developed to improve the understanding of the performance of the damper by exploring its hydraulic behaviors in transient response. Dynamic meshing is applied to simulate the fluid flow in terms of velocity and pressure distribution in damper chambers. The deflections of base and piston valve membranes respectively in compression and rebound are determined through an iterative method considering the fluid-structure coupling. Numerical results are in good correlation with those issued from experiments. The presented CFD model is a numerical tool if applied can minimize the number of experiments in the step of design and testing of twin-tube dampers.
MIS and Environmental Sustainability in Saudi Arabian SMEs: Unveiling the Mediating Effect of Organizational Culture and Policy
Authors: Alruweili Faris M
Published: January 2025

This research aims to explore the role played by management information systems (MIS) in increasing environmentally sustainable practices among SMEs in Saudi Arabia. The first research question is to establish how MIS impact and use can promote environmental Sustainability, and the second is to establish the mediating role of organizational policy culture in MIS impact and use for ecological Sustainability. The methodology employs a quantitative approach, concentrating on the structural equation modeling (SEM) tool, and it utilizes primary data from 180 leaders in Saudi Arabian SMEs. We developed the survey instrument based on existing scale questions and conceptual frameworks and conducted reliability and validity assessments. The research has yielded significant findings. Firstly, SMS and UAP in MIS significantly correlate with the use of environmentally sustainable practices, and higher levels of these practices positively influence system maintenance, support, user adoption, and proficiency in the management information system. These findings stress the need to support the MIS system and user proficiency in appropriately utilizing MIS for Sustainability. Second, the research identifies that the moderating factors of organizational policy and culture play a significant role in MIS utilization and environmental Sustainability. This has implications for the view that the overarching organizational environment greatly enhances or hinders MIS's operational effectiveness in encouraging sustainable practices. These results are possible academic contributions and the application of store choice methods. The study offers a comprehensive perspective on the practical and proper management of MIS in SMEs, which can foster environmental Sustainability and align with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030.

Learning a new programming language is challenging for essentially the entirety of our population that decides to try and pick up said skill even those who have previously learned another language find it very difficult. This study investigates the difficulties students face when learning "for" loops in the Python programming language. The research utilizes an eye-tracking device to analyze pupil dilation and blinking rates as participants attempt to solve Python code problems involving "for" loops. The study includes four different code scenarios, each with varying degrees of complexity, including nested "for" loops. The results show that a significant portion of the participants struggled with the tasks, achieving a low average success rate of approximately 28%. Consistent variations in pupil dilation and blinking patterns were observed, indicating high stress levels and potential confusion. The data revealed specific areas of the code where students commonly struggled, particularly with nested “for” loops and the “print()” function. Eye-tracking data revealed consistent variations in pupil dilation and blinking patterns, indicating high stress levels among participants. Teachers should be aware of the identified areas of confusion and design teaching strategies that address them directly. Leveraging eye-tracking data to inform the development of interactive programming exercises or tools that provide more effective visual representations of code concepts can significantly improve student understanding. Therefore, the paper ends with some incipient teaching recommendations and future research directions.

Recently, digital content transmission has advanced significantly. For data transfer security, video encryption is essential. As multimedia technology improves, its importance grows. This paper proposes a secure and effective video encryption method. The proposed technique uses symmetric key cryptography and audio samples to avoid a trusted third party in the key exchange. To establish sender-receiver communication, the method broadcasts the public table to all participants. The device's MAC address determines the rotation operations required to create the private table. Thus, only the sender and receiver share the private table. The new approach splits processed footage into audio samples and video frames. We encrypt the video frame and audio sample using the generated private key to create cipher data. Next, we randomly insert the audio sample into the encrypted data. The recipient will first extract the audio sample from the encrypted data and then decrypt it. The findings show that the technique can maximize the tolerance skew value to close to the optimal value, and the average time required to encrypt the video packet using the proposed technique is relatively small, specifically 0.685429814 milliseconds (i.e., "end-to-end delay time”). The findings showed that the proposed technique performs effectively in real-time and practical video transmission.
