Financial, spatial and systemic determinants of ESG scoring assigned to commercial banks
Authors: Gospodarowicz Marcin , Korzeb Zbigniew , Niedziółka Paweł , De la Torre Antonio
Published: February 2024

The aim is to verify which financial, spatial and systemic importance variables interact with ESG scoring. Based on data from 628 banks from 63 countries, a multinomial ordered logit model was built with the explanatory variables of Sustainalytics and Moody's ESG scores. Results indicate that membership in the EU, being an SIB, capitalisation, and revenues have a positive effect on ESG. In contrast, an increase in leverage, NPL ratio, and profitability are associated with a deterioration in scorings. Results differ in terms of the spatial aspect (in the case of Sustainalytics, additionally, location in the US favours ESG scoring) and the spectrum of systemic importance (in the case of Moody's, it is both global and local dimensions). This study is the first attempt to identify common (to different methodologies) determinants of ESG scoring. Its originality is also determined by the demonstration of a relationship between spatial variables and SIB's membership and ESG scoring.

Published: February 2024

Aim – to evaluate the effectiveness of an algorithm of the medical staff actions during the secondary prevention of kidney and urinary tract diseases in an outpatient polyclinic.
Material and methods. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we conducted a survey among outpatient clinic doctors with job-experience longer than 10 years using a specially developed questionnaire (score from 1 to 10). To assess the consistency of doctors' opinions, the Kendall's Concordance Coefficient (W) was calculated. W 0.7 was considered as a high degree of agreement between doctors' opinions. To assess the significance of the obtained concordance coefficient, the ÷2 criterion was calculated at a significance level of α ≤0.05.
Results. Our analysis of the doctors' answers revealed that the proposed algorithm can be used as an alternative to sanatorium treatment for the prevention of exacerbations of urinary system diseases.
Conclusion. The medical and organizational measures for the secondary prevention of exacerbations of urinary system diseases, embodied in the algorithm, allow for improving general well-being in patients under dispensary observation. The algorithm was positively assessed by doctors of outpatient clinics.

O principal objetivo dos implantes dentários é restaurar a mastigação e outras funções dos dentes, bem como a aparência estética dos pacientes que utilizam implantes dentários e próteses dentárias. No entanto, a falta de osso dificulta esta recuperação. Os aspectos mais importantes da cirurgia de implante dentário são a quantidade de osso que pode ser criada e o tratamento ao qual o paciente está sendo submetido. Não há osso suficiente para permitir um tratamento seguro, e a deficiência óssea pode causar dor de dente, infecção, perda de material dentário e extração dentária, portanto, implantes dentários e enxertos ósseos são amplamente utilizados. Dependendo do problema e dos sintomas do paciente, existem muitos métodos populares para obter visão horizontal e vertical. A técnica de Khoury de enxerto ósseo, é uma técnica desenvolvida para prolongar a vida útil e conseguir um implante dentário de longa duração que utiliza a densidade do osso alveolar para obter melhores resultados. O osso autógeno tem a vantagem do controle parcial.

Published: February 2024

The structure and properties of multilayer coatings made of high-speed R18Yu steel formed on a substrate of 30KhGSA steel during multilayer plasma surfacing in a mixture of argon and nitrogen followed by high-temperature tempering and electron beam processing are studied using the methods of light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Plasma surfacing forms a layer, the main phases of which are α-Fe and carbides of М6С(Fe3W3C–Fe4W2C) composition, forming a frame mesh. After high-temperature tempering, particles of the carbide phase of globular or faceted shape are identified in the bulk of α-Fe with sizes from 10 to 38 nm. The microhardness of the deposited layer made of R18Yu steel increases after tempering and is 5.3 GPa. Electron beam processing is accompanied by a multiple (3 or more times) reduction in the wear parameter (increased wear resistance of the material); the microhardness of the modified layer does not change and is 5.3 GPa.

Published: February 2024

Nowadays scientists massively produce diverse datasets in many communities. They need to combine them to answer scientific or novel questions. To do so, these diverse computational resources need first to be found by search engines. Bioschemas provides a simple and lightweight mechanism to annotate online resources in a standardized way and expose key metadata. To improve the accessibility and value of Bioschemas to existing and emerging communities, we aim to develop an automated system to assess the adoption of Bioschemas, work with identified groups that have specific needs addressable by Bioschemas, address usability issues in the Bioschemas profile and type development process, and extend the reach of Bioschemas by making it available in a domain-agnostic manner.
Taste aversion learning during successive negative contrast
Authors: Boakes Robert A. , Badolato Connie , Rehn Simone
Published: February 2024

Previous experiments found that acceptance of saccharin by rats was reduced if they had prior experience of sucrose or some other highly palatable solution. This study tested whether such successive negative contrast (SNC) effects involve acquisition of an aversion to the new taste. In three experiments, rats were switched from sucrose exposure in Stage 1 to a less palatable solution containing a new taste in Stage 2. In Experiments 1 and 2, a novel flavor was added to a saccharin solution at the start of Stage 2. In Experiment 1, preference tests revealed a weak aversion to the added vanilla flavor in the Suc-Sacch group, while in Experiment 2 an aversion was found in the Suc-Sacch group to the salty flavor that was used, compared with controls given access either saccharin or water in Stage 1. In Experiment 3, the Suc-Quin group, given quinine solution in Stage 2, displayed a greater aversion to quinine than a Water-Quin control group. These results support the suggestion that taste aversion learning plays a role in the initial suppression of intakes in a qualitative consummatory SNC effect. However, in the light of other evidence, it seems that the unusual persistence of successive negative contrast when rats are switched from sucrose to saccharin is not due to a long-lasting reduction in the value of saccharin.

Published: February 2024

Rationale. The impact of vitamin D3 deficiency on the risk and prognosis of numerous chronic diseases has been actively studied for years. Recent research has demonstrated that vitamin D is not merely involved in the control of calcium-phosphorus metabolism, but can also enhance insulin sensitivity, decrease the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity and autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells. The influence of vitamin D3 on some cardiometabolic risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD) was described. Thus studying the role of vitamin D3 in the development of arteries wall changes in T2DM and IR, and their relationship with biology telomere seems to be quite relevant.

Aim. To study the relationship between vitamin D3 deficiency and vascular wall condition, telomere biology in patients with varying insulin sensitivity.

Materials and methods. The cross-sectional study involved 305 patients (106 men and 199 women) aged 51.5 ± 13.3 y.o. All patients underwent laboratory and instrumental research methods, study of morphofunctional state vascular wall. Telomere length and telomerase activity were determined using polymerase chain reaction.

Results. Totally, 18 patients out of 248 (7.2%) were found to have normal vitamin D3 level (more than 30 ng/ml). In 92.8% of those studied Vitamin D3 insufficiency or deficiency was determined. As increase in vitamin D3 deficiency, an increase in fasting glucose was noted, HbA1c and its elevated concentration, HOMA index, glucose disorders up to T2DM, higher vascular stiffness. Telomerase activity in group with vitamin D3 deficiency was significantly lower than in groups with vitamin D3 insufficiency and normal content. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that they are independently associated with vitamin D3 in T2DM (B=1.43; st. OR. 0.106; p=0.0001), vascular stiffness (B=0.075; st. OR. 2.11; p=0.017), fasting glucose (B=0.169; st. OR 1.62; p=0.004), HbA1c level (B=0.062; st. OR. 7.4; p=0.001) and the presence of “short” telomeres (B=0.09; st. OR. 1.154; p=0.001). ROC analysis revealed relationships between BMI (0.634, p=0.001), duration of T2DM (0.651, p=0.022), high intima media thickness (0.614, p=0.004), vascular stiffness (0.605, p<0.001), HbA1c (0.588, p=0.022) and presence of vitamin D3 deficiency.

Conclusion. In persons with varying insulin sensitivity — from insulin resistance up T2DM is advisable assess vitamin D3 levels for effective prevention of arterial wall changes in addition to traditional CVD risk factors. Availability Vitamin D3 deficiency requires active prevention metabolic disorders and vascular changes.

All those process must be completed by the principles in the business process they are clarity (understandable), correctness, relevance, economic efficiency, comparability, systematic design. In which must understood and completed in the business process re-engineering may include process mapping, fail-saving, teamwork, and communication. Hence, when it is implemented in the teak production process, it can deliver the positive outcomes that supported the business sustainability in teak production.
Ancrages et dislocations. Trajectoires d’un collectif rom en Europe des années 1920 aux années 1950
Authors: About Ilsen , Sutre Adèle
Published: February 2024

Cet article étudie la trajectoire d’un collectif rom en Europe entre 1920 et 1960 dans un arc temporel marqué par l’aggravation des persécutions antitsiganes. L’enquête suit une approche biographique des sujets et repose sur l’usage extensif des archives administratives et sur une étude socio-professionnelle des mobilités géographiques. Jusqu’à la fin des années 1930, la trajectoire de ce collectif, issu des confins entre la Prusse orientale et la Russie, recoupe tous les pays de l’arc atlantique et méditerranéen et se prolonge jusqu’au Maghreb. L’arrivée en Italie du sud en 1940 coïncide avec la politique d’internement visant les ressortissants étrangers ainsi que les Rom et Sinté désignés comme Zingari (« Tsiganes ») par les autorités fascistes. Cette étude recompose la dislocation du collectif à travers l’archipel des camps d’internement du sud de l’Italie puis celui des camps de personnes déplacées entre 1943 et 1945. Au lendemain de la guerre, la recomposition des trajectoires, entre Italie, France et Suède permet d’observer la mobilisation de nouvelles ressources et de réseaux fragilisés par la guerre. L’étude des conditions de vie, lors de la sortie de guerre, manifeste les effets immédiats des violences génocidaires et de la dislocation mais aussi les nouvelles stratégies mises en œuvre pour composer de nouvelles pratiques migratoires et économiques.
Trajectoires de persécution enfantines et micropolitiques du réapparentement au sein du Centre Mémorial Gisimba. Kigali, 1994-2015
Authors: Dumas Hélène
Published: February 2024

Comment tenter de saisir les trajectoires enfantines de persécution avant, pendant et après le génocide des Tutsi à partir de la dévastation des liens familiaux orchestrée par les responsables de l’extermination au printemps 1994 ? L’article propose de répondre à cette question à partir d’une approche microhistorique prenant pour lieu de l’enquête un orphelinat de la capitale rwandaise, le Centre Mémorial Gisimba. Rare havre de protection dans un quartier soumis à la loi des tueurs pendant le génocide, il a accueilli jusqu’à sa fermeture en 2015 des centaines d’orphelins et d’orphelines survivants. Les archives de l’orphelinat mobilisées ici permettent de restituer, à hauteur d’enfants, les itinéraires de persécution et les réagencements familiaux nés de l’amputation radicale de la filiation.
Gestes au travail. Rilke, Rodin, Simmel
Authors: Winkelvoss Karine
Published: February 2024

Die Gebärde ist bei Rilke wie bei Simmel eine zentrale Kategorie der Rodin-Rezeption, und sie ist in vielerlei Hinsicht mit dem Arbeits-Begriff verbunden. Indem Rilke sowohl die Gebärden des Bildhauers bei der Arbeit als auch die Gebärden seiner Figuren beobachtet, entdeckt er die unbewusste Dimension, die in ihnen am Werk ist. Für Simmel wiederum ist Rodin einer der ersten, der Arbeitsgesten als Motiv in die Bildhauerkunst einführt und sie so den rhetorischen Posen der akademischen Tradition entzieht. Wenn Simmel das Verhältnis zwischen natürlichen und konventionellen Gebärden und Rilke das Verhältnis zwischen neuen und alten Gebärden untersucht, stellt sich die Frage, was in der Gebärde arbeitet : besonders Rilke entdeckt hier ein unbewusstes kulturelles Gedächtnis, das dem nahekommt, was Warburg das Nachleben der Antike nannte, das er in den Pathosformeln verkörpert sah.

Authors: Salwa Marium , Islam Sharmin , Tasnim Anika , Al Mamun Mohammad Abdullah , Bhuiyan Mahfuzur Rahman , Choudhury Sohel Reza , Amin Md Robed , Haque M. Atiqul
Published: February 2024

Background:

Considering the health literacy status of service seekers is crucial while developing programs and policies to improve service delivery in primary health care settings.

Objective:

Our aim was to assess health literacy among adults seeking non-communicable disease (NCD)-related services in primary health care centers (PHC) of Bangladesh and identify its contributing factors and its preventive effect on risky behaviors.

Methods:

In this cross-sectional study, 2,793 NCD service seekers were interviewed face-to-face from eight rural and three urban PHCs selected by a multi-stage random sampling method. We used the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire to collect data on health literacy. We applied logistic regression analysis to identify the contributing factors related to adequate health literacy. Odds ratios were used to calculate the preventive fraction of health literacy for NCD risk behaviors.

Key Results:

Limited health literacy was found among 43% of the respondents. Adequate health literacy was associated with younger age, male sex, having a formal education, living in an extended family, hailing from a high socioeconomic group, and attending urban PHC. After adjusting the sociodemographic factors, the prevalence of smoking, smokeless tobacco usage, and inadequate fruits and vegetables consumption among participants were found to be 25%, 51%, and 18% lower for people with sufficient health literacy.

Conclusions:

NCD service seekers have a high rate of inadequate health literacy. Adequate health literacy has the potential to lower the behavioral risk factors of NCDs. [

El artículo pone en relación el cine antropológico con sus fundamentos epistemológicos. Propone un modelo de análisis y uso, a partir de siete modos de significación que se corresponden con sendos modelos de narración audiovisual. Estos modos de significación van construyendo aquello que es significativo del campo, siempre conscientes de una autoría situada. El análisis que desarrollamos a lo largo de esta cartografía pretende ser de utilidad para realizadores que encaran sus procesos de creación audiovisual; evaluadores de revistas digitales especializadas en antropología audiovisual; jurados de festivales y muestras de cine antropológico; tribunales académicos; y docentes que dictan asignaturas de antropología audiovisual. La cartografía sugiere una visión de conjunto, un mapa de posiciones epistemológicas necesarias para fundamentar la validez del cine documental antropológico.
Sepahua: de comunidad multiétnica a villa urbana. Transformación de un proyecto idealizado en el bajo Urubamba
Authors: Acuña Delgado Ángel
Published: February 2024

Sepahua, comunidad multiétnica ubicada en el bajo Urubamba de la Amazonía peruana, desde su fundación en 1948 al amparo de la misión católica, tuvo vocación de ser «pluralista y abierta, diversa e integrada». En su evolución, al menos hasta principios de los años 80, sus principales ideólogos, los misioneros dominicos, albergaron grandes expectativas en que los jóvenes indígenas, con la adecuada educación intercultural y formación académica, diseñaran su propio futuro, pese a la presión inmigrante a la que se vieran sometidos. En correspondencia con la documentación histórica y el trabajo etnográfico realizado en 1984 y 2019, el objetivo de esta investigación responde a dos preguntas básicas: ¿cómo se han visto transformadas las relaciones de poder en la comunidad nativa con el reconocimiento de municipalidad en su proceso histórico? y ¿cómo la gestión administrativa se ha visto afectada por tal circunstancia y por la creciente llegada de colonos? A la vista de los resultados, la invasión colonizadora del territorio, la introducción de la economía de mercado, la municipalización del espacio, y la mestización indígena en la propia comunidad, han provocado que el proyecto y expectativas iniciales queden lejos de la realidad.
La frontera gastronómica de Cholula, Puebla: entre la gentrificación y la turistificación
Authors: Hernández Cordero Adrián , Vázquez-Medina José Antonio
Published: February 2024

En este trabajo mostramos las tensiones que se generan en el paisaje alimentario de la demarcación de Cholula (México). En ésta existen dos municipios entre los que se genera una frontera culinaria. A partir de una aproximación cualitativa por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas, observación participante y análisis de contenido en medios digitales, queremos demostrar que la existencia de la frontera gastronómica parece habilitar dos paisajes culinarios diferenciados que obedecen a distintos intereses. De esta manera, podríamos afirmar que la frontera gastronómica habilita y dinamiza fenómenos opuestos que favorecen el contraste en el ensamblaje gastronómico. Por un lado, la intención de la estatización del paisaje que obedece a lógica de la turistificación que apela a la recuperación de la tradicionalidad y la historia para favorecer los discursos en torno al turismo y al patrimonio. Por otro, el cosmopolitismo culinario que incentiva procesos de gentrificación alimentaria que evidencian los particularismos propios de la modernidad alimentaria.
Una etnografía de un archivo de la represión franquista
Authors: Villalta Luna Alfonso M.
Published: February 2024

Este texto pretende ofrecer una reflexión sobre las posibilidades de poner en práctica una etnografía desde el archivo. Este análisis se ve condicionado por las características propias del archivo donde se ha realizado la investigación que, por la documentación que guarda, puede definirse como un archivo de la represión franquista. A partir de este caso, a lo largo del artículo, se realiza una aproximación comparativa a otros espacios que comparten algunas de sus características, hasta desgranar el poder que emana de este tipo de archivos que en contextos de violencia extrema son una de las mejores herramientas de control social y adquieren el poder de configurar al enemigo. Desde la perspectiva teórica del llamado «giro archivístico» que sitúa al propio archivo como objeto de estudio, se busca profundizar en algunas de las características que convierten al archivo elegido para realizar la investigación -Archivo General e Histórico de Defensa- en el mejor ejemplo desde el que plantear un acercamiento etnográfico. En ese proceso se analiza de qué manera, desde su origen, esa documentación ha perseguido el fin último de seleccionar, ordenar y clasificar al enemigo hasta el punto de que, a través de ella, se han delimitado incluso sus rasgos físicos y psicológicos.
La traduction chinoise des Trois Mousquetaires par Wu Guangjian et son édition annotée par Mao Dun : le rôle des paratextes dans les traductions d’œuvres littéraires occidentales
Authors: Zhenhuan Zou
Published: February 2024

La traduction des Trois Mousquetaires d’Alexandre Dumas par Wu Guangjian fut publiée pour la première fois en 1907, à la Commercial Press de Shanghaï. Wu Guangjian adopta une méthode de traduction directe, tout en simplifiant les descriptions de paysages, les portraits psychologiques, ainsi que les références culturelles occidentales. Il parvint néanmoins à conserver le style de l’œuvre originale, ce qui lui valut les éloges unanimes du milieu académique. La version annotée de cette traduction, éditée par Shen Dehong (alias Mao Dun), est dotée d’une ponctuation modernisée et accompagnée de notes soigneusement rédigées regardant noms de personnages et de lieux, institutions, événements et objets notables du roman. Mao Dun ajouta à ce travail une « Biographie critique d’Alexandre Dumas », composée pour l’occasion. Cette édition fut incluse aux « Lectures complémentaires pour les cours de littérature au collège et au lycée », établies selon le Nouveau système scolaire mis en place par le ministère de l’Éducation en 1922. Jusqu’à présent, la question des paratextes attachés aux éditions annotées des traductions d’œuvres occidentales a suscité relativement peu d’intérêt chez les chercheurs. Or, le travail d’édition et d’annotation de Mao Dun a permis d’éliminer de nombreux obstacles à la compréhension, qui étaient apparus lorsque Wu Guangjian avait traduit Les Trois Mousquetaires près de vingt ans auparavant. Mao Dun redonna vie à la traduction originale et la rendit d’autant plus significative, contribuant ainsi à étendre le champ littéraire ouvert aux jeunes lecteurs chinois des années 1930 et 1940, durant l’ère républicaine.

La littérature française est incluse au programme d’enseignement secondaire dans la République de Chine. La classicisation des œuvres et des auteurs français renvoie à la structure de connaissances et à la vision culturelle des rédacteurs chinois de manuels de l’époque. Nous aborderons ce sujet en prenant comme exemple l’inclusion de Jules Verne dans les manuels chinois durant la période du Nouveau système scolaire (1922-1928). Trois points saillants ressortent notre étude : premièrement, l’inclusion des œuvres de Jules Verne dans les manuels scolaires tient à des facteurs externes tels que la formation d’un groupe d’intellectuels modernes, la réforme de la culture et du système scolaire, ainsi que le développement de la littérature chinoise en langue vernaculaire ; deuxièmement, la réécriture des œuvres de Jules Verne par les rédacteurs de manuels scolaires véhicule la conception littéraire de l’époque ; troisièmement, l’inclusion de Jules Verne dans l’enseignement de la langue et la littérature chinoises signale l’établissement d’une culture moderne dans les manuels scolaires.
La Traduction et la réception d’Eugène Labiche dans la Chine moderne : étude des cas de La Poudre aux yeux et Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon
Authors: Shih-Lung Lo
Published: February 2024

Le théâtre chinois moderne se nourrit des pièces occidentales. Notre article a pour objectif d’étudier la traduction et la réception en Chine des comédies du dramaturge français Eugène Labiche, en particulier La Poudre aux yeux et Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon. Au cours de la première moitié du XXe siècle, Song Chunfang promeut avec enthousiasme les œuvres de Labiche parce qu’elles introduisent dans le théâtre chinois une alternative différente des pièces d’Ibsen vénérées par ses contemporains. Song Chunfang apprécie les éléments du théâtre populaire connus dans les œuvres de Labiche, et les considère comme des modèles pour le théâtre chinois moderne. La Poudre aux yeux, parodie de l’hypocrisie de la classe moyenne urbaine, est traduite pour la première fois par Zhao Shaohou. Cette traduction réussie inspire plusieurs retraductions, adaptations et réécritures, dont Dujin [Le Dorage] de Cao Yu. De même, Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon est traduit plusieurs fois et contribue à la naissance de Kongque ping [Écran de paon], pièce adaptée par Shi Huafu de l’opéra de Pékin. Bien que le nom de Labiche soit souvent oublié de nos jours par les chercheurs du monde sinophone, il fut en effet l’un des dramaturges français les plus populaires et les plus connus de la Chine du XXe siècle. Pour la formation universitaire comme pour la production commerciale sur scène, les comédies de Labiche ne doivent pas être négligées dans les études sur l’histoire du théâtre chinois. Un examen sur les traductions, les adaptations et les réécritures des pièces de Labiche dans la Chine de la première moitié du XXe siècle permet de retracer en détail le développement du théâtre chinois moderne et sa quête de la modernité.
Un exemple de l’apostolat intellectuel des missionnaires en Chine dans les années 1940
Authors: Pino Angel

Au printemps 1947, une réunion d’éditeurs religieux eut lieu à Shanghaï, qui confia au département des activités culturelles du Bureau catholique central, lequel venait tout juste d’être créé, la tâche de dresser une liste des « ouvrages catholiques » les meilleurs et les mieux « adaptés à la mentalité des non-chrétiens » susceptibles d’être traduits et publiés en chinois. Un premier inventaire fut préparé par un collège de missionnaires issus d’ordres différents, mais les choses n’allèrent guère plus loin : le climat du moment en Chine et les changements politiques qui s’annonçaient eurent raison du projet. C’est cet inventaire qu’on trouvera ici, assorti des corrections et des précisions nécessaires.

Machine learning is an evolving technology, which uses deep learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, harnesses neural networks, mirroring the human brain, for feature extraction and manipulation. Models like CNN, RNN, LSTM, SOM, among others, expedite data interpretation from vast datasets. Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative ailment primarily impacting dopamine-producing neurons within the substantia nigra of the brain, lacks a known cause and cure. Deep learning models play a pivotal role in early Parkinson's detection. In this study, a convolutional bi-directional GRU approach is employed to identify Parkinson's disease, with MAYFLY optimization for feature selection. Utilizing handwriting samples from Parkinson's patients, the proposed algorithm achieves a remarkable 96.40% accuracy in predicting the disease, facilitating early treatment interventions for affected individuals.
The Algorithmic Management
Authors: Turnsek Maja , Ladkin Adele
Published: February 2024

The aim of this chapter is to provide insights into the future development of HRM in the post pandemic tourism contexts, focusing on the concept of algorithmic management. The chapter explores how algorithms are used in performance monitoring and rewards in the case of Airbnb and the implications of this for its hosts. This is used as a basis to reflect on the trend towards quantifying human performance and the issues that management raised by algorithms and platform work. The research uses qualitative discourse analysis as its methodological approach. Textual, photographic, and video material from Airbnb homepages and documents are examined. The authors analyse the Airbnb algorithmic management from the perspective of the classical HRM functions and identify the defining features of Airbnb algorithmic management. This discussion considers the future directions of algorithmic management whereby we postulate that algorithmic management will become further embedded in the operations of traditional hospitality and services industries, beyond the current digital platform work.

Fairness is threatened by algorithm bias, systematic and unfair disparities in machine learning results. Amazon's AI-driven hiring tool favoured men. AI promised data-driven, impartial decision-making, but it has revealed sector-wide prejudice, perpetuating systematic imbalances. The algorithm's bias is data and design. Biassed historical data and feature selection and pre-processing can bias algorithms. Development is harmed by human biases. Algorithm prejudice impacts money, education, employment, and crime. Diverse and representative data collection, understanding complicated “black box” algorithms, and legal and ethical considerations are needed to address this bias. Despite these issues, algorithm bias elimination techniques are emerging. This chapter uses secondary data to study algorithm bias. Algorithm bias is defined, its origins, its prevalence in data, examples, and issues are discussed. The chapter also tackles bias reduction and elimination to make AI a more reliable and impartial decision-maker.

Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge) is an important forage in South America and the United States because of its high palatability, resistance to trampling and grazing, and tolerance to cold, but it exhibits low seed yield and poor seed quality. Previous studies reported improvements in forage production and nutritive value in hybrids and ecotypes; however, information about seed yield and quality in forage bahiagrass is limited. This study aimed to characterize the seed yield and quality of nine P. notatum intraspecific hybrids and three controls: P. notatum ecotypes V4 and Bagual and cultivar Pensacola. Inflorescence density, 1,000-seed weight, seed yield and germination rate decreased in year 2 influenced by weather conditions and ergot. Seed yield ranged from 139 (Pensacola) to 1,158 (Bagual) kg ha-1 among all entries, where Bagual, C18, and V4 produced more than 974 kg ha-1, which was approximately seven times more than Pensacola. Bagual, C18, V4, 336, C15, 225, and D3 showed germination rates greater than 83%. In conclusion, Bagual had the highest seed yield and germination rate, whereas hybrids C18 and 336 showed high seed yield, 1,000-seed weight, and germination rate in both years. Bagual, C18, and 336 should be used in future breeding programs to improve seed production traits. Our study revealed that selection for seed production traits can result in improvements in seed yield and quality in bahiagrass.
