Authors: Patidar Yogesh , Jain Manish , Vyas Ajay Kumar
Published: February 2024

In this chapter, the systematic analysis and literature of the existing routing protocols are discussed. The application-specific choice of the routing method is a primary challenge in a wireless sensor network or internet of things for efficient and reliable transmission of data. The reliable transmission of the data depends on various factors such as application, data generation rate, sampling rate, etc. The most commonly used routing is flat routing, also called data-centric routing. There are many other routing methods, e.g., hierarchical routing, location-based routing, energy-aware routing, multipath routing, etc. In this chapter, the discussion is divided into purely proactive and reactive routing methods or clustering-cum-routing advanced methods for all the different applications and needs. In the chapter, the network performance is optimized for the number of optimal clusters, the maximal throughput, and the lifetime. In addition, the comparative analysis of different routing and clustering protocols is also discussed in the chapter.

Published: February 2024

Generative AI (GenAI) systems pose new challenges in academic dishonesty. Students may be tempted to use GenAI systems to cheat and submit content in assignments and projects that they did not create themselves. This points to the need for schools to focus on strong deterrent measures as well as informative and enhancing practices. Academic dishonesty is not limited to students. The use of GenAI in academia raises two extreme ethical problems. These problems relate to the ethical problems of the end user and the ethical problems in the development of this technology. The ethical use of GenAI technologies should be achieved in a way that respects human rights and takes into account user concerns. This new technology requires a rethinking of teaching methods, as well as assessment and evaluation. It is recommended that policymakers, students, and faculty work collectively and take responsibility for adopting ethical values in the process of integrating GenAI into academia.

Authors: Issahaku Ibrahim , Kuada Eric , Kumah Peace , Yaokumah Winfred
Published: February 2024

This study explores the factors that contribute to the continual use of mobile banking apps by integrating design aesthetics, information quality, and perceived privacy with the expectation-confirmation information systems continuance model. A convenience sample of 300 respondents from two state-owned universities in Ghana provided survey data that was analyzed using the partial least squares-structural equation modeling technique. The results indicate that perceived usefulness is a significant factor in user satisfaction, while confirmation impacts both satisfaction and perceived usefulness. Additionally, design aesthetics and information quality have a significant influence on continual use. However, perceived security/privacy, satisfaction, and perceived usefulness have insignificant effects on continual use. By combining theoretical perspectives, this study offers a conceptual model for examining the factors that impact the use of mobile banking apps. These findings can be used by mobile app developers and marketers to develop effective marketing strategies.

Authors: Li Xiaotong , Lee Young Sook
Published: February 2024

Traditional customer segmentation methods cannot obtain more effective information from massive customer data, which affects the formulation of marketing strategies. Based on this, this study constructs a customer segmentation marketing strategy model that integrates support vector machines and clustering algorithms. This model first utilizes support vector machines to segment existing customer data, and then integrates support vector machines and clustering algorithms to construct a customer segmentation model. Finally, simulation experiments are conducted using the dataset. The results show that the model algorithm obtains the optimal solution when the quantity of iterations is 50. Meanwhile, the average error rate of the model algorithm in the customer segmentation process is 6.82%, the average recall rate is 91.28%, and the average profit predicted by the impact strategy developed by the segmentation model is 29.88%, which is 2.53% different from the true value.

Background: Poor lifestyle habits may worsen nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), with progression to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis. This study investigated the association between glycemic control status and hepatic histological findings to elucidate the effect of glycemic control on NAFLD.Methods: This observational study included 331 patients diagnosed with NAFLD by liver biopsy. Effects of the glycemic control status on histological findings of NAFLD were evaluated by comparing the following four glycemic status groups defined by the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level at the time of NAFLD diagnosis: ≤5.4%, 5.5%–6.4%, 6.5%–7.4%, and ≥7.5%.Results: Compared with the lowest HbA1c group (≤5.4%), the higher HbA1c groups (5.5%–6.4%, 6.5%–7.4%, and ≥7.5%) were associated with advanced liver fibrosis and high NAFLD activity score (NAS). On multivariate analysis, an HbA1c level of 6.5%– 7.4% group was significantly associated with advanced fibrosis compared with the lowest HbA1c group after adjusting for age, sex, hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase, and creatinine levels. When further controlling for body mass index and uric acid, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, the higher HbA1c groups were significantly associated with advanced fibrosis compared with the lowest HbA1c group. On the other hand, compared with the lowest HbA1c group, the higher HbA1c groups were also associated with a high NAS in both multivariate analyses.Conclusion: Glycemic control is associated with NAFLD exacerbation, with even a mild deterioration in glycemic control, especially a HbA1c level of 6.5%–7.4%, contributing to NAFLD progression.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists as a possible intervention to delay the onset of type 1 diabetes: A new horizon
Authors: Nassar Mahmoud , Chaudhuri Ajay , Ghanim Husam , Dandona Paresh
Published: February 2024

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune condition that destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to insulin deficiency and hyper-glycemia. The management of T1D primarily focuses on exogenous insulin replacement to control blood glucose levels. However, this approach does not address the underlying autoimmune process or prevent the progressive loss of beta cells. Recent research has explored the potential of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) as a novel intervention to modify the disease course and delay the onset of T1D. GLP-1RAs are medications initially developed for treating type 2 diabetes. They exert their effects by enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon secretion, and slowing gastric emptying. Emerging evidence suggests that GLP-1RAs may also benefit the treatment of newly diagnosed patients with T1D. This article aims to highlight the potential of GLP-1RAs as an intervention to delay the onset of T1D, possibly through their potential immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects and preservation of beta-cells. This article aims to explore the potential of shifting the paradigm of T1D management from reactive insulin replacement to proactive disease modification, which should open new avenues for preventing and treating T1D, improving the quality of life and long-term outcomes for individuals at risk of T1D.

Published: February 2024

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is recognized as a serious public health concern with a considerable impact on human life, long-term health expenditures, and substantial health losses. In this context, the use of dietary polyphenols to prevent and manage T2DM is widely documented. These dietary compounds exert their beneficial effects through several actions, including the protection of pancreatic islet β-cell, the antioxidant capacities of these molecules, their effects on insulin secretion and actions, the regulation of intestinal microbiota, and their contribution to ameliorate diabetic complications, particularly those of vascular origin. In the present review, we intend to highlight these multifaceted actions and the molecular mechanisms by which these plant-derived secondary metabolites exert their beneficial effects on type 2 diabetes patients.

Authors: Zhou Wan , Yuan Xiao-Jing , Li Jie , Wang Wei , Zhang Hao-Qiang , Hu Yuan-Yuan , Ye Shan-Dong
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Early screening and accurate staging of diabetic retinopathy (DR) can reduce blindness risk in type 2 diabetes patients. DR’s complex pathogenesis involves many factors, making ophthalmologist screening alone insufficient for prevention and treatment. Often, endocrinologists are the first to see diabetic patients and thus should screen for retinopathy for early intervention.

AIM

To explore the efficacy of non-mydriatic fundus photography (NMFP)-enhanced telemedicine in assessing DR and its various stages.

METHODS

This retrospective study incorporated findings from an analysis of 93 diabetic patients, examining both NMFP-assisted telemedicine and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). It focused on assessing the concordance in DR detection between these two methodologies. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to determine the optimal sensitivity and specificity of NMFP-assisted telemedicine, using FFA outcomes as the standard benchmark.

RESULTS

In the context of DR diagnosis and staging, the kappa coefficients for NMFP-assisted telemedicine and FFA were recorded at 0.775 and 0.689 respectively, indicating substantial intermethod agreement. Moreover, the NMFP-assisted telemedicine’s predictive accuracy for positive FFA outcomes, as denoted by the area under the ROC curve, was remarkably high at 0.955, within a confidence interval of 0.914 to 0.995 and a statistically significant P -value of less than 0.001. This predictive model exhibited a specificity of 100%, a sensitivity of 90.9%, and a Youden index of 0.909.

CONCLUSION

NMFP-assisted telemedicine represents a pragmatic, objective, and precise modality for fundus examination, particularly applicable in the context of endocrinology inpatient care and primary healthcare settings for diabetic patients. Its implementation in these scenarios is of paramount significance, enhancing the clinical accuracy in the diagnosis and therapeutic management of DR. This methodology not only streamlines patient evaluation but also contributes substantially to the optimization of clinical outcomes in DR management.
Interpretacija kulturne dediščine s pomočjo mitov in pravljic, drugi del
Authors: Perko Verena
Published: February 2024

Prispevek obravnava interpretacijo dediščine z uporabo mitov in pravljic. Besedilo je razdeljeno na dva dela, prvi del, posvečen interpretaciji, je bil objavljen v prejšnji številki revije. Drugi del je posvečen mitom in pravljicam kot sredstvu interpretacije.

Miti veljajo za prvobitno obliko razlage sveta. Članek obravnava njihovo družbeno vlogo v preteklih družbah in pojasnjuje njihovo temeljno vlogo v psihosocialni strukturi človeka. S kulturno-zgodovinskim pristopom je orisana njihova primordialna vloga. Mitološke zgodbe so služile kot razlaga kozmosa, reda in zakonov, vzpostavljale so moralno in etično podlago sobivanja skupnosti. Filozofski in psihoanalitični pristop izpostavljata terapevtski naboj narativnega blaga. Obravnavana je arhetipska in transcendentna narava mita ter utemeljen njegov odsev v fluidnih pomenih materialne kulture. Miti in pravljice so del kulturnega in zgodovinskega izročila ter kot rdeča nit povezujejo sodobnost s preteklostjo.

Miti in pravljice imajo v procesih interpretacije vlogo semantičnega sistema, ki olajšuje integracijo dediščine časovno in kulturno oddaljenih obdobij v sodobnost. Pripovedovanje zgodb razpira dialoški prostor in spodbuja javnost k aktivnemu sodelovanju.

Raziskava je interdisciplinarna, temelji na heritologiji, hermenevtiki, psihoanalizi, mitoloških in kulturnozgodovinskih študijah.
El tratamiento de las personas con problemas de salud mental en la normativa penal y penitenciaria. Reflexiones y propuestas
Authors: Cuenca-Gómez Patricia
Published: February 2024

Resumen: El presente trabajo analiza el tratamiento que la normativa penal y penitenciaria española ofrece a las personas con problemas de salud mental (o con discapacidad psicosocial) que son acusadas de un delito y entran en contacto con el medio penitenciario. El análisis revela que este colectivo es víctima de una discriminación y un maltrato institucional cuya erradicación exige cambios relevantes en la legislación, las políticas públicas y la mentalidad social, a la luz de la Convención Internacional sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad. Estos cambios se orientan a cuatro objetivos básicos: 1) evitar situaciones de desatención que aboquen a las personas con problemas de salud mental a entrar en el ciclo delictivo; 2) potenciar su desviación del medio penitenciario hacia respuestas más resocializadoras; 3) garantizar que quienes entren en prisión puedan ejercer sus derechos en igualdad de condiciones que todas las personas internas; 4) erradicar prejuicios y estereotipos promoviendo la formación de profesionales y la toma de conciencia por parte de la sociedad de la situación de desventaja de este colectivo.

Places and spaces of the Indonesian theater of death

The subject of the article are the thanatic practices of indigenous Indonesian peoples viewed from the perspective of places and spaces associated with the dead and the spirits of ancestors. The author points out that human refusal to die, creating the need to create substitute places of presence for those who no longer exist, is marked by „genetic” theatricality and that Indonesia is a particularly interesting area to study this phenomenon. The theoretical basis of the article are the reflections of Samuel Weber on the ghostly nature of theatrical space and of Mirosław Kocur on the performative space that both produces performances and is produced by performances. From this perspective, the author looks at specific burial places, ideas about the afterlife, and manifestations of the cult of ancestors in various regions of Indonesia. She analyzes ritual strategies of creating the illusion of the immaterial presence of deities and spirits of the dead, as well as ways of inscribing the image of the afterlife and the dead themselves into the existing, natural space and into the space of the immediate surroundings: home and village. Following this line of thought, she finally focuses on the special symbolic qualities of stone as a material used to mark places where the dead and spirits are present. In this respect, Indonesia creates a unique field for research, because in some of its regions the traditions of megalithic cultures are still

Published: February 2024

Word problem solving is an approach that can increase knowledge, improve performance and develop learners’ critical thinking skills that can assist them in solving mathematical and real-life problems. This study examined the effectiveness of using a word problem solving approach to improve Grade 3 learners’ performance when learning addition and subtraction. The study employed this hypothesis to test the difference between the experimental and control groups and between the pre-test and post-test with learners in diverse classrooms solving addition and subtraction word problems. A pre-test-intervention-post-test research design was used to collect the data. Baseline lesson observations and unstructured interviews were conducted to understand the effectiveness of the problem solving approach in teaching number concepts, problems, addition and subtraction. The results of the study revealed a significant difference between the experimental and comparison groups when solving addition and subtraction word problems. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between the pre-test and the post-test in the experimental group. It was concluded that word problems could be taught by following steps for problem solving and equipping learners with essential reading skills to help them comprehend what they are reading. The interviews showed that teachers do not have enough time for learners who experience learning challenges and reading in particular in pursuit of covering the curriculum. Learners in the foundation phase must be taught money problems and problem-solving skills to acquire knowledge to be used in higher grades and real-life situations.

The goal of protecting the power system is to protect against failures by separating the "faulty" parts from the rest of the network that is working properly. Unnecessary protection response and ejection of network nodes can have very serious consequences for the power system. For protection, relays are used to measure current and / or voltage and thus monitor the condition of the network. Differential bus protection is based on the algebraic sum of currents entering the node, where the bus is treated as a node. Under normal operating conditions, the sum of currents flowing into a particular node is equal to zero, while in the event of a fault, that sum deviates from zero. One of the biggest obstacles to the selective operation of differential relays is the saturation of current transformers (CT). When the CT enters saturation, what the relay is currently measuring does not represent a realistic picture of what is actually happening in the system. Then the primary current is no longer transmitted faithfully to the secondary side, but is distorted. Therefore, distortions in the secondary current are used as a criterion for the detection of CT saturation. In this paper, the behavior of the CT in the region of saturation will be analyzed using the Matlab software package, with the help of Simulink and SimPowerSystems libraries. The results of the simulations in the form of waveforms of currents will then be forwarded to the signal generator in order to test in laboratory conditions the capabilities of this device for generating complex periodic signals.

First the paper briefly describes the databases: CDS/GMS configuration database of management applications with real-time work plans, and CDS/GMS database system for analysis and operational reports. Then, the paper contains an overview of the UNES6CDS system tool that is used to enter information model of power grid, power plants, generators and primary equipment, and is used to enter, preview and modify SCADA process variables within the integrated SCADA/GMS system. The paper also provides an overview of the functionality of the CDS Configurator system engineering tool, which is part of the dedicated CDS/GMS user interfaces and is used to configure functional measurement groups, measurement and control types, reporting units and reports, plan parameters, and global CDS/GMS parameters. The paper also provides an overview of the configuration and mode of use of user interfaces and dedicated GMS applications that, in interaction with the SCADA system, provide management functionality. Finally, conclusions and possible directions are given for further development of CDS/GMS.

This paper presents the generation management system (GMS) of the new central dispatch system (CDS) of PE EPS. First, a brief overview of the logical architecture and functionality of the CDS is given. Then, an overview of the functions that are provided by the GMS is given, primarily remote automatic control of active power (basic and tertiary regulation of active power). The following describes the active power control algorithms on the CDS/GMS side and a brief description of the logic of resolving the control responsibilities between EPS and EMS on the EPS power plant side that will be in the remote-control system. The software implementation and software platform of the GMS application on the CDS side is then presented. Finally, conclusions and directions for further development of the GMS are given.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan makna denotatif dan konotatif dari simbol-simbol yang terdapat dalam lagu “Alosi Ripolo Dua” karya Bugis. Oleh karena itu, metode kualitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Data dikumpulkan dari interpretasi teks dan lirik, didukung dengan ulasan untuk dianalisis. Selain itu, teori Barthes tentang hubungan antara penanda dan petanda yang disebut “hierarki” juga berlaku dalam hal ini. Menurut Barthes, dua tingkatan itu adalah denotasi dan konotasi. Konotasi didefinisikan sebagai makna yang diberikan pada suatu gambar di luar tingkat representasi eksplisit, sedangkan denotasi didefinisikan sebagai tingkat makna gambar yang pertama dan paling sederhana. Makna denotasi lagu ini adalah dua orang yang terlihat serupa, kembar, mirip, bak pinang dibelah dua. Makna konotasi lagu ini adalah jodoh yang akan seperti cerminan diri. Seperti pinang dibagi dua, kedua sisi akan terlihat sama, meskipun terdapat celah atau perbedaan ketika buah itu dibelah. Sama seperti jodoh yang akan terlihat sama, walau begitu pasti terdapat perbedaan yang mencirikan keduanya, seperti sifat dan lain-lain. Mitos dari lagu ini adalah ketika dua orang, perempuan dan laki-laki terlihat mirip, maka keduanya akan berjodoh. Apalagi keduanya memang berpacaran. Juga mengenai jodoh yang tak akan lari, bahkan ke ujung dunia pun ketika ditakdirkan bersama, keduanya akan bertemu dan merajut kasih dalam benang yang sama
EDUCAÇÃO SEXUAL INTEGRAL NA ARGENTINA: UM ESTUDO SOBRE A IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE POLÍTICAS DE GÊNERO E SEXUALIDADE NOS CURRÍCULOS ESCOLARES

Published: February 2024

No contexto escolar, o currículo é considerado uma importante instância educativa e um dispositivo pedagógico capaz de colocar em funcionamento diversas estratégias de regulação social. Tendo isso em conta, este trabalho pretende desenvolver-se, primeiramente, a partir da discussão sobre a criação, na Argentina, da Lei nº 26.150/2006, que institui a garantia de Educação Sexual Integral nos currículos escolares, reconhecendo essa demanda como política pública essencial para o contexto histórico, político e social do país. Em seguida, esta análise objetiva teorizar acerca das possibilidades de queerizar o currículo escolar para, por fim, discorrer sobre o processo de implementação e desenvolvimento de um projeto de educação sexual integrado ao currículo escolar de uma instituição pública de nível médio da cidade de La Plata/Buenos Aires. Com a finalidade de transcender o plano de conteúdos curriculares e propósitos formativos hegemônicos, o projeto foi criado com o objetivo de promover a reflexão crítica sobre as sexualidades e as expectativas de gênero que se propagam na sociedade, através da cultura dominante, e que incidem diretamente na educação das e dos jovens, caminhando para o combate às formas de opressão. Para isso, adotamos como perspectiva teórico-metodológica os estudos pós-críticos do currículo escolar e a perspectiva da pedagogia queer. Entendemos, portanto, que ações e práticas contra-hegemônicas no contexto escolar, apesar dos desafios enfrentados, podem criar linhas de escape no interior das instituições educativas, transformar experiências e conhecimentos e construir dispositivos curriculares democráticos e inclusivos.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DAS ANÁFORAS PARA A COESÃO TEXTUAL NO GÊNERO DISCURSIVO ARTIGO DE OPINIÃO

Published: February 2024

Na educação básica um dos maiores problemas discutidos por alunos e professores é o ensino de leitura e produção textual. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa busca refletir sobre a escrita dos alunos do fundamental II, mas precisamente do 9° ano e como eles utilizam o processo referencial anafórico para a coesão textual em textos argumentativos como o artigo de opinião. Neste trabalho, nos propomos analisar artigos de opinião escritos por alunos da rede básica de ensino, no município de Apodi-RN. Esses artigos de opinião serão observados com base numa perspectiva dialógica de Bakhtin. Como fundamentação teórica nos ancoramos ainda nos pressupostos de Bakhtin (2003, 2006), Koch e Elias (2006, 2009) e Marcuschi (2008, 2014). Sendo assim, está pesquisa pretende contribuir para o uso eficiente e estratégico dos gêneros discursivos argumentativos tornando-os ativos em suas práticas discursivas.
A LEITURA E A ESCRITA NA PERSPECTIVA DA EDUCAÇÃO E DAS NEUROCIÊNCIAS: SABERES NECESSÁRIOS AOS PROFESSORES ALFABETIZADORES

O presente estudo, desenvolvido através de uma metodologia qualitativa, de caráter exploratório e cunho bibliográfico, visa debater de forma introdutória, alguns apontamentos sobre as bases neurobiológicas que medeiam os processos de leitura e de escrita com base em evidências científicas, além de destacar possíveis contribuições das Neurociências para a Educação, em especial para a alfabetização de crianças. O corpo teórico do estudo, baseado em autores como Dehaene (2012), Bortolanza e Da Costa (2016), Sigman (2017), Buchweitz, Mota e Name (2018), Soares (2020) e Silva e Barreto (2021), indica que o processo de alfabetização engloba a aquisição e o desenvolvimento da leitura e da escrita e requer uma série de mecanismos neurocognitivos e perceptivos, além de condições ambientais adequadas e de instrução externa. Para mais, aponta a alfabetização como um processo complexo, dependente do funcionamento e da interação de diferentes áreas do cérebro humano, bem como da exposição a estímulos ambientais que promovam experiências significativas e constantes de interação com as letras, fonemas e palavras. Deste modo, faz-se necessário aos professores alfabetizadores, o conhecimento sobre as bases neurobiológicas que medeiam a aquisição da leitura e da escrita, a fim de promover práticas alfabetizadoras que venham a superar o ensino da língua como uma mera decodificação sons, letras e palavras, fomentando uma postura ativa daqueles que estão em processo de alfabetização, visto que a alfabetização é indispensável para o exercício pleno da cidadania na sociedade contemporânea.
