This study evaluates the KBGAN iHealth© and KBGAN iFeed© mobile apps designed for buffalo health and feeding management, particularly for agricultural extension professionals (AEPs) in selected Philippine municipalities. These apps aim to address challenges in buffalo management, such as limited access to veterinary expertise, personalized recommendations, organized data, communication channels, and difficulties in calculating ideal feed compositions and meeting the distinct needs of smallholder farmers and AEPs. Despite System Usability Scale (SUS) scores indicating marginal acceptability for both apps, weighted mean scores by AEPs for statements assessed on a 5-point Likert scale (1 as strongly disagree and 5 as strongly agree), demonstrate that AEPs reported high confidence in the accuracy of buffalo health diagnostics (Mean of 4.20) and health management recommendations (Mean of 4.17) provided by KBGAN iHealth©. Similarly, KBGAN iFeed© received favorable ratings, with AEPs expressing agreement on the accuracy of feeding recommendations (Mean of 3.89) and the facilitation of feeding ration computations (Mean of 4.00). These positive perceived performance outcomes, coupled with increased confidence (Mean of 4.03) and motivation (Mean of 4.00) among AEPs, suggest the potential for frequent and consistent app usage despite usability concerns. Chi-square tests examining the relationship between AEP characteristics and SUS scores for the apps reveal significant associations between AEPs' education and experience levels and SUS scores for KBGAN iFeed©. The choice of IT device also influences KBGAN iHealth© SUS scores. Proposed enhancements by AEPs include refining algorithms, improving the user interface for navigation, speed, and efficiency, and incorporating features such as photo uploads and geotagging.

How was the feudal rule in the Han Dynasty Positively Affected by Confucianism?
Authors: Chen Wenxuan
Published: February 2024

As a mainstream school that has ruled Chinese society for thousands of years, Confucianism has been the topic of constant research in recent years. In the Han Dynasty, Confucianism gradually dominated and became the mainstream of ancient Chinese society, even profoundly influencing modern society. In this paper, the study of how Confucianism positively influenced imperial rule in the Han Dynasty will be based on the introduction of some core Confucian ideas, such as the idea of “Great unity” proposed by Dong Zhongshu in the Han Dynasty and the attitude of the Han government towards the promotion of Confucianism. This paper proves that a series of theories put forward by the Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty led by Dong Zhongshu provided the rationality for the feudal rulers’ dictatorship. However, the vigorous promotion of Confucianism by the emperors and governments of the Han Dynasty unified the social ideology of the Han Dynasty to a large extent. Confucianism became the mainstream thought in the Han Dynasty because it complied with the dynasty’s changes and society’s development.

Zelda’s Role in Controlling Gene Expression in the Early Embryo
Authors: Wang Hao
Published: February 2024

Much research investigates the influence of Zelda (Zinc-finger early Drosophila Embryo activator, Zld) on early embryo development. CAGGTAG and related sequences are common in the early transcribed genes in Drosophila. These are all referred to as sites that can activate transcription and are responsible for maternal RNA degradation (as cited in Liang et al., 2008). However, it is still unknown whether other activators can help gene expression. Here, we analyze the effect of Zld on specific genes, such as Halo, by chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. One result is that the gene expression is low in the absence of Zld, which could suggest that Zld plays an important role in the activation of early development of the Drosophila embryo.

Authors: Liao Yunzhi
Published: February 2024

Sentiment analysis has a wide range of applications in the fields of opinion analysis, sentiment dialog, and product reviews. However, the sentiment information expressed in texts under different topics varies greatly; for example, a model that performs well on a movie review set has poor model classification on a social platform review set due to inconsistent recognition of antiphonal phrases, different expression of emoji sentiment, and missing contextual information. In this paper, the authors focus on tens of thousands of latest reviews of Chinese takeout platforms Meituan and Elema, and use the LSTM model in deep learning to double classify the data (positive and negative). This paper analyzes the performance of LSTM models in the field of sentiment analysis of takeout reviews and concludes that domain-specific text sentiment analysis requires specific analysis.

What is the Role of the Membership Model and Warehouse Model inAttracting and Retaining Costco Customers
Authors: He Xinyue
Published: February 2024

While substantial research has been conducted on Costco’s unique business strategies and models, few researchers have taken an in-depth look into Costco customers. As one of the most famous retailers in North America, Costco’s mission is “to continually provide members with quality goods and services at the lowest possible prices (Costco.com).” This statement reflects Costco’s essential competitiveness in keeping its member pricing as low as possible. Costco chose a novel business model to achieve a low price and profit from membership fees instead of pricing the goods too high. Meanwhile, their warehouse model reduced labor costs and increased the quantity offered for a single product. Costco created a new business model integrating memberships and bulk sales, reducing product prices and attracting more customers. With the increasing development of the economy, especially in North America, various novel business models have been used; however, their essential working principle is rarely emphasized. This paper aims to find out what the roles of warehouse and membership are in gaining more customers and benefiting the company. This study surveyed 30 respondents living in Toronto with Costco stores to determine members’ attitudes toward these two business models. The study also used the quantitative method using secondary data sources such as Costco’s website, annual reports, and various financial websites. Results indicate that by uniquely positioning itself as a paid-membership and warehouse model, Costco’s strategies brought massive attention through the invisible advertisements implicitly found in that positioning.

With the advent of computer technology, students’ and cadets’ motivation to learn using traditional teaching methods has paradoxically begun to decline rapidly. The problem of the quality of training of military specialists for the needs of communication and cybersecurity units is not reflected in the publications reviewed. However, significant progress has been made in the use of computer technology as the basis of training tools for ground forces units. Similar training complexes are actively used in NATO member states in the military education system in the training of air force pilots (navigators). Therefore, the author chose the improvement of the educational process at the Department of Combat Use of Communication Units in combination with the methodology of professional-business game for the development of a cadet leader in professional training courses (L-1B) of the tactical level of military education as the direction of research. The purpose of the study and the article is to substantiate the conceptual view of the department in the need to build a computerized training complex for training officers of leaders in professional training courses (L-1B) of the tactical level of military education, capable of using communication units based on computer games. Fragments of the game mechanics of stimulating the interest and motivation of cadets to study, for example, electronic shooting range, and learning Morse code, are considered. Game mechanics is a proof of a professional business game in the course of the discipline: Combat use of military communication systems and complexes of the course of professional military education (professional course of tactical level L1B).
The Kazakh Language Requires Reform of its Writing

The article provides information about modern problems of writing the Kazakh language, the importance of its role and development in the context of mass digitization using artificial intelligence technologies and computational linguistics methods. The incorrectness of the current alphabet of the Kazakh language based on the Cyrillic alphabet is proved in connection with the inclusion of Cyrillic letters in it, denoting phonemes that are not included in its sound structure. The necessity of reforming the Kazakh writing by replacing the incorrect alphabet is substantiated. Errors and contradictions are shown in the approved version of the Kazakh alphabet based on the Latin alphabet, as well as the alphabet proposed as a replacement for the approved one, in which some previous errors are repeated. In both cases, no analysis and clarification of the sound system of the Kazakh language, which is the basis of any alphabet, is carried out. In this study, to clarify the sound system of the Kazakh language, experiments were carried out to determine the articulation and acoustic features of Kazakh sounds with the help the computer programs used for many natural languages. In the articulation analysis, special attention was paid to vowels, which give rise to various contradictions in the Kazakh letter. It is proposed to use a new classification of vowels according to four binary features, rather than the traditional classification according to three binary features. Acoustic analysis uses the method of formant analysis, which is aimed at identifying certain formants in the spectrogram. The formant is obtained using a spectrograph. Quantitatively, the formants correspond to the maxima in the speech spectrum and usually appear on spectrograms as horizontal bands. After determining the composition and classification of the sound system of the Kazakh language, two variants of the alphabet based on the Latin alphabet are proposed: the first one is based on the Turkish alphabet using diacritical marks; the second is based on the English alphabet using digraphs. The second option offers ways to solve problems that arise when using digraphs. In conclusion, information is provided on the ongoing and ongoing work in Kazakhstan related to the creation of smart systems in the Kazakh language based on the methods and technologies of artificial intelligence and computational linguistics, the results of which are reflected in the list of sources.
Strengthening IoT Network Protocols: A Model Resilient Against Cyber Attacks

The pervasive Internet of Things (IoT) integration has revolutionized industries such as medicine, environmental care, and urban development. The synergy between IoT devices and 5G cellular networks has further accelerated this transformation, providing ultra-high data rates and ultra-low latency. This connectivity enables various applications, including remote surgery, autonomous driving, virtual reality gaming, and AI-driven smart manufacturing. However, IoT devices’ real-time and high-volume messaging nature exposes them to potential malicious attacks. The implementation of encryption in such networks is challenging due to the constraints of IoT devices, including limited memory, storage, and processing bandwidth. In a previous work [1], we proposed an ongoing key construction process, introducing a pivotal pool to enhance network security. The protocol is designed with a probability analysis to ensure the existence of a shared key between any pair of IoT devices, with the predefined probability set by the system designer. However, our earlier model faced vulnerabilities such as the “parking lot attack” and physical attacks on devices, as highlighted in the conclusion section. We present a complementary solution to address these issues, fortifying our previous protocol against cyber threats. Our approach involves the implementation of an internal Certification Authority (CA) that issues certificates for each IoT device before joining the network. Furthermore, all encryption keys are distributed by the primary IoT device using the Unix OS ‘passwd’ mechanism. If a device “disappears,” all encryption keys are promptly replaced, ensuring continuous resilience against potential security breaches. This enhanced protocol establishes a robust security framework for IoT networks, safeguarding against internal and external threats.
