Impact of rural and remote clinical placements on future intention to practice
Authors: Dening Elizabeth , Turner Joseph Vernon , Speare Tobias , Batten Miranda , Woodward Andrew P. , Bushell Mary-Jessimine A
Published: December 2024

Background: Living in rural and remote areas decreases health equity due to the health workforce shortages experienced in these locations; this is particularly experienced by our Indigenous population. To address this, there has been an increased number of students participating in rural and remote clinical placements. Aim: To identify factors that both encourage and limit students from participating in rural and remote healthcare placements whilst simultaneously assessing future intent to work in these areas. Methods: Australian students undertaking a degree in health completed an online survey distributed via the National Rural Health Student Network in 2021. Results: A total of 508 students from across 27 universities and 15 health disciplines completed the survey. More than half of the respondents had completed a placement in a rural or remote area. Most students were satisfied, or very satisfied, with the placement, which appears to be linked to an intention to return to rural and remote locations to work. Exposing students who had not considered practicing rurally to a rural or remote placement increased the odds of rural practice intention. Twenty-four students identifying as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander completed a rural or remote placement 12.5% of these students had an increased intention to undertake rural or remote practice. Discussion: This study added to the known body of evidence, that when health students enjoy their clinical placement experience, they have an increased intention to pursue rural or remote employment. Emerging evidence contrastingly corroborates that students who had the desire to return to rural and remote areas prior to their clinical placement didn’t have as strong motivation when compared to others without this intention.

Authors: Sudo Hinako , Kojima Seri , Hayashi Kiko , Hosoki Sakura , Tanaka Arisu , Imafuku Rintaro
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Female physicians often interrupt their careers due to fulfilling family caregiving roles, with childbirth and child-rearing being significant reasons for temporary leave or resignation. The employment rate of female physicians in Japan shows an M-shaped curve, with a low proportion in leadership positions. Female medical students also have anxiety about balancing family and career. While support systems are recognized as necessary, female physicians' experiences and career development perceptions are underexplored. Therefore, this study investigates their career aspirations and challenges. Methods: This study conducted semi-structured interviews with eight fourth-year Japanese female medical students and nine Japanese female physicians with over nine years of clinical experience. Interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Four main themes related to professional life emerged: work environment, marriage and childbirth, continuation of work, and career development approach. Female students expressed concerns about inadequate support systems and balancing career and family. Female physicians, even with support, worried about burdening colleagues, and experienced gender bias. Both groups cited advanced maternal age as a concern and recognized career development barriers due to part-time work after childbirth. Female students desired to maintain work, while physicians struggled to regain skills and knowledge after extended leave. Conclusions: Female students harbor anxieties about balancing work and family. Integrating learning opportunities about female physicians' experiences into early stages of education is crucial. Establishing communities of practice for career development can address these issues—involving both male and female students and physicians. This study highlights the need for support systems and role models to enhance the career fulfillment of female medical students and physicians in Japan.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: The changes to education settings brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic illustrated many benefits and challenges related to graduate medical education in the virtual setting. It is unknown how the education setting (live vs virtual) affects education conference attendance. Evaluating attendance is the first step toward investigating overall levels of learner engagement. We explored if there was a difference in attendance between the live and virtual settings in an emergency medicine morbidity and mortality (M&M) conference and didactic education sessions. Methods: Attendance data over a three-year period that began before the COVID-19 pandemic and continued through the end of 2022 was analyzed to compare participation in M&M and didactics between live and virtual conference days. Results: Attendance for the initial 90-minute M&M part of the conference day was significantly greater in the virtual setting compared to the live setting (CI: 1.15-1.26), with a 21% increase in attendance. There was no significant difference in attendance between the live and virtual setting once lectures transitioned to the 3-hour didactic portion of the emergency medicine conference (p=0.135). Conclusion: The findings of this single center study were that attendance was similar in the live and virtual education settings as part of a structured emergency medicine didactic training curriculum. This is the foundational step in evaluating overall engagement between the two distinct learning environments and supports further investigation of the relative effectiveness of educational activities in these settings. The integration of virtual M&M education may allow more attendings and residents to attend those specific educational sessions.
Evaluating the Impact of Virtual Reality on Medical Students’ Skills Performance in High- Fidelity Simulation: A Randomised Controlled Trial Pilot
Authors: Whallett Matthew , Mahesh Sindoora , Whittaker Joshua , Crichton Alexander , Ahmed Usman
Published: December 2024

Background: There is currently limited evidence on the comparative educational value of virtual reality (VR) in high-fidelity simulation for managing acutely unwell patients (AUPs). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of VR sessions on performance outcomes in technical skills and non-technical skills during high-fidelity simulation for AUPs. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted among fifth-year medical students in England. The control arm followed the standard curriculum, whereas the intervention arm completed a VR session prior to their high-fidelity simulation. In both arms, non-technical skills were evaluated using a validated behavioral markers system (BMS), whilst technical skills were assessed by calculating the percentage of critical actions completed. Results:The non-technical skills performance did not differ significantly between the control and intervention arms, nor did the percentage of critical actions completed. Participants provided predominantly positive feedback on their experience with the VR intervention. Conclusions: Whilst previous evidence suggests the potential transferable skills and cost-effectiveness of VR sessions, this study did not show measurable improvements in performance outcomes, likely due to small sample size. The findings of this pilot study emphasize the importance of conducting further research to explore the direct impact of VR sessions upon clinical outcomes, and their suitability as an adjunct to high-fidelity simulation.
Disadvantages the Legal Effects of Reasoning and Operative Words in Writing a Civil Ruling (An Analytical Study)
Authors: Sharqi Maysara Mohammed , Yassin Ahmed Samir Mohamed , Ibrahim Saad Ismael
Published: December 2024

The reasoning for civil judgments and what is said must be done in accordance with legal requirements and conditions that must be met in them, which we mentioned in the second chapter, so that the reasoning and what is said come out with something plausible and acceptable that It is suitable for justifying his ruling and the ruling issued by him in the case before him, so that he becomes able to understand all the elements of the realistic and legal case. Because causation is an obligation on the judge to achieve the goal. Because causation is an obligation on the judge to achieve the goal and the goal he seeks, and in the event of any defect in the causation and what is said, we are faced with a deficiency or contradiction between the reasoning and what is spoken It leads to a deficiency in the justification of judgments, as well as a contradiction between what is spoken and the justification. These two effects have an important consequence on the civil judicial ruling. Because the deficiency in the reasoning means not achieving the full goal intended by the legislator when it is necessary to mention the reasons in the ruling, so it is also called a deficiency in the legal basis of the ruling.
The Epistemic Integration Between Arabic Sciences and Islamic Jurisprudence: Grammar, Pausing, and Starting as a Model
Authors: Farag Hady Hussein Abdalla
Published: December 2024

This research addresses the epistemic integration between Arabic and Islamic sciences in general, with a specific focus on grammar, pausing, and starting. It highlights the primary aspects of this epistemic integration and clarifies them for the reader, while also showcasing the efforts of Arabic and grammar scholars in establishing and systematizing the science of pausing and starting. Additionally, it examines the impact of grammatical forms and syntax on pausing, starting, and Quranic recitation. This study follows the inductive-analytical method, as it relies on examining the connections between grammar and the science of pausing and starting, presenting and analyzing selected verses from the Quran where multiple grammatical forms exist, and discussing how these variations affect pausing and starting choices. The research reveals the close relationship between grammar and the science of pausing and starting, emphasizing that only those thoroughly knowledgeable in Arabic grammar can undertake this field. Furthermore, the study highlights the influence of grammar and syntactical forms in diversifying pausing and starting, establishing its rules, and the dedication of Arabic scholars to writing on the science of pausing and starting.

Published: December 2024

Given the rapid transformations and increasing challenges facing Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs), the need for flexible and innovative work environments that can attract and develop talents to achieve organizational efficiency and sustainability emerges. The purpose of the study was to create a work environment that encourages talents within the Bureau, which contributes to the sustainability of performance and the achievement of organizational goals. It aims to design a work environment that enables the attraction and development of talents to achieve organizational performance sustainability and enhance innovation and efficiency in the Federal Board of Supreme Audit (FBSA) Using a qualitative methodology based on the Thematic Extraction Method (TEM), various data were collected and analysed. The study conducted interviews with 12 experts, this category of experts included general managers, assistant general managers, and experts from public departments, and they were selected through purposeful sampling, which contributed to providing in-depth data on the requirements of the ideal work environment to support talent development. The analysis process began with coding the data through the following steps: extracting the primary axes, refining them, and classifying them to reach the basic concepts that clarify the dimensions of the required talent development environment from the interview data. The study came up with a design for talent development environment consisting of nine dimensions: the first dimension is providing work tools and infrastructure, then the dimension of searching for and attracting talents, then the dimension of training and developing talents, then the dimension of motivating talents (reward and promotion), then the dimension of knowledge sharing. Then the dimension of identifying talent development opportunities, then the dimension of talent sharing, then effective leadership, and the last in order of importance in the order is the dimension of perceived quality. This approach contributes to improving the quality of financial regulatory services and enhancing the organizational efficiency of the Authority.

Published: December 2024

Legal issues present significant challenges to healthcare quality by introducing barriers such as regulatory compliance requirements, conflicts over patient rights, and medical malpractice risks. These challenges often lead to increased operational costs, higher litigation risks, and diminished patient trust. This study examines how hospital administrators can effectively manage legal risks related to healthcare laws, identifying strategies to mitigate these challenges to improve healthcare quality and patient satisfaction while minimizing legal disputes. The research evaluates existing legal frameworks, reviews case studies of legal disputes in healthcare, and analyzes risk management practices adopted by administrators. Findings highlight that implementing legal compliance systems, providing staff training on relevant laws, and fostering collaboration with legal experts are critical strategies. These measures not only reduce risks of litigation but also enhance operational efficiency and bolster patient trust. By addressing the intersection of legal theory and healthcare practice, the study offers actionable recommendations for healthcare institutions. It underscores the importance of proactive legal risk management in improving service delivery, institutional reputation, and patient outcomes.

Stylistic Transformation Signals in Arabic Grammatical Discourse: A Grammatical- Rhetorical Approach
Authors: Abubkr Lutfi Omar , Al Kaabi Mozah H. , Almaamari Hayam , Haidara Nabeeha Bin
Published: December 2024

This study aims to better understand Arabic grammar and its rhetorical meanings as an integrated system where structure and semantics interact, moving away from rigid interpretations that confine grammar within a formal framework. Through examining Quranic discourse and poetic evidence, the study examines the impact of stylistic transformations on Arabic grammatical analysis to demonstrate how grammatical structure adapts to context and the rhetorical purpose the speaker intends to convey. The study analytically discusses the views of Arabic grammar pioneers, such as Sibawayh, Ibn Hisham, and Ibn Al-Anbari, highlighting their interpretation of stylistic transformations and their significant indicators and whether these phenomena represent exceptions or an expression of language flexibility and its ability to transcend traditional rules. The research also shows examples of rhetorical purposes such as praise, dispraise, specification, and enticement, where the influence of style is reflected in directing grammatical analysis and expanding its connotations. The study reveals the depth of the relationship between style and grammar and its associated rhetorical and semiotic aspects and how these transformations shape the meanings of discourses and enrich their connotations. The study also seeks to stimulate discussion about the discourse of renewal in studying Arabic grammar and its meanings and to link stylistic phenomena signals with modern linguistic analysis that addresses local and global mindsets. Additionally, the study highlights the applications of stylistic transformations in multiple fields, such as Arabic language teaching and the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and Natural Language Processing (NLP), making it a vital field for modern applications that combine linguistic heritage with contemporary innovation.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EMOTIONAL REGULATION: HAPPINESS AMONG STUDENTS IN MODERN EDUCATION VS. GURUKULAM EDUCATION SYSTEMS
Authors: Bhavsar Khushi
Published: December 2024

Education shapes individuals and society, evolving through diverse philosophies and methods. From ancient Gurukulam teachings to modern digital pedagogies, education reflects tradition and innovation, philosophy, and technology. By comparing students from Modern Education System (MES) and Gurukul Education System (GES), we explore the impact of Gurukul-inspired education on emotional regulation and happiness, alongside examining the foundational principles and historical significance of the ancient Gurukul system in India. Methodology: Sixty students, aged between 16 and 25 years, participated in this study, with 30 students each from Gurukul Education System (GES) and Modern Education System (MES). Both GES and MES groups were evenly divided into sub-groups of 15 males and 15 females. Discussion: The 0.7 difference in average emotional intelligence scores between Gurukulam Education System (GES) and Modern Education System (MES) students suggests that GES students, rooted in philosophy, show higher emotional intelligence compared to MES students influenced by technology. This highlights the impact of educational paradigms on emotional development, indicating the potential benefits of philosophical grounding. Further investigation is needed to understand underlying factors and implications for student growth. Conclusion: In conclusion, Gurukul Education System (GES) students scored higher in emotional intelligence compared to Modern Education System (MES) students. This underscores the potential advantage of incorporating philosophical teachings, as seen in GES, into contemporary education for better emotional development.
The Seal of Dignity of Archbishop Olav of Nidaros (1350–1370). Reflections on its Iconography and Cultural Context
Authors: Harðardóttir Guðrún
Published: December 2024

Medieval seals provide interesting historical and art historical source material as they reflect a number of elements in medieval society, of which iconography is one. The imagery in the seal of dignity of Olav I, Archbishop of Nidaros (1350–1370), is an artwork of high quality. This article provides a detailed examination of the cultural context of the seal by bringing together earlier knowledge and some new insights. It discusses stylistic relations to comparable seals from different areas outside the Nidaros archdiocese. These are the seals of the Cardinal of San Clemente, the Bishop of Durham and Queen Blanche of Norway and Sweden. The great seal of Olav was innovative at the time in Norway. It was hagiographic with a suppliant bishop’s figure. It contained rich micro-architectural elements, and heraldry now formed part of the imagery of the seal. The stylistic connections presented in the article are a reminder of the significance of the long-distance travels of the medieval clergy and the resulting network of cultural interactions (including correspondence), especially during this period of increasing papal influence.

The Diffusion and Use of Emblem Books in Gotland, Pomerania and Denmark around 1700
Authors: Bach-Nielsen Carsten
Published: December 2024

With its more than 90 mediaeval churches, the island of Gotland bears witness to its former wealth due to its position as the nave of maritime trade in the Baltic Sea. The city of Visby was an early and independent member of the German Hanse, but in 1361, it was captured and plundered by the Danish King Valdemar IV Atterdag. The Danes never obtained total control of the island and in 1645 it was ceded to Sweden. After another brief period under Danish reign (1676–1679), Gotland was finally conceded to Sweden in 1679. The wars had left the island ravaged and impoverished, but it nevertheless maintained its trade contacts with the Hanseatic cities – and with the ports and towns of southern Jutland in Denmark and the duchy of Schleswig. During the 17th and 18th centuries a number of Gotland’s churches were furnished with emblem decorations and the article highlights two of them. In the church of Burs an emblem book by the German Heinrich Müller (1631–1675) served as a model, and there the painter may even have used a Danish edition of the German original. The church of Västerhejde boasts an exquisite western gallery from c. 1700 with an emblem decoration deriving from a recently published devotional book by Johannes Lassenius of Copenhagen. The article is about the dissemination and use of German language emblem books by artists in Sweden and Pomerania around the year 1700.
Iconology and Semiotics – with some Examples from Schapiro and Thürlemann
Authors: Andersson Fred
Published: December 2024

Debates on the relationship between Iconology and Semiotics resurface constantly, but recent developments in the fields of Visual semiotics and Cognitive semiotics are seldom referred to. Instead, the use of Semiotics in art history is often reduced to the anglophone reception of Structuralist and Post-Structuralist theory in the field. The aim of the present article is to expand the debate and to show that Visual semiotics has long abandoned the dependence on Linguistics and Structuralism that originally limited both its applicability to the study of non-verbal communication, and its validity in terms of historical hermeneutics. This is done by reconsidering a series of scholarly contributions of formative importance for the development of Visual semiotics in the twentieth century: Meyer Schapiro’s early studies of Romanesque art, Felix Thürlemann’s combination of semiotics and historical methodology, and the Belgian Groupe µ’s proposal for a unified analytical framework of visual semiotics and rhetoric. Drawing on Göran Sonesson’s distinction between iconic signs and iconicity in his interpretation of the semiotic legacy of Peirce, it is shown that the category of secondary iconicity may be operative at all the three levels of meaning defined by Erwin Panofsky: pre-iconographic, iconographic, and iconological. Conceived in these terms, the methodological dialogue between semiotics and art history provides a common ground of inquiry that is very different from the alternative presented by Mieke Bal, Norman Bryson and other art historians more than 30 years ago.
The Survival of Medieval Furnishings in Lutheran Churches. Notes towards a Comparison between Germany and Scandinavia
Authors: Kroesen Justin
Published: December 2024

Perhaps paradoxically, of all medieval churches in Europe, those that became Lutheran during the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation possess the greatest wealth of medieval interior elements. Compared to Puritan Britain and the Calvinist Low Countries, Lutheran churches were not as thoroughly stripped of their medieval furnishings, while on the other hand Baroque renewals were much less far-reaching here than in Catholic regions. Although Lutheranism in general exerted a preserving effect on medieval church interiors, there are important differences between regions, both within Germany and between Germany and Scandinavia (here to be understood as “the Nordic countries”, i.e. including Finland and Iceland). This article makes a first attempt towards a comparison of the survival rates of medieval church furnishings in Lutheran Germany and the European North. Both regions are more or less on a par with regard to several specific elements including high altars and their decorations, triumphal arch crosses and baptismal fonts. However, other elements, such as tabernacles, choir stalls, chancel screens, pulpits and side altars are much more often preserved in Germany than in Scandinavia. It may be concluded, therefore, that the Reformation generally had further-reaching implications on the material culture of Nordic church buildings than on German ones.
“Quale sit intus in his” – A Note about Abbot Suger’s Bronze Doors in Saint-Denis
Authors: Kaspersen Søren
Published: December 2024

This article is merely a note on the reading of Abbot Suger’s inscription on his gilded bronze doors on Saint-Denis’s west façade, handed down through his own writing De rebus in administratione sua gestis from 1144/45–1148/49. In particular the discussion concerns the translation of the second and sixth verses of the eight-line inscription, and the understanding of in his in verse six constitutes its focal point. In this new reading the focus is on the rhetorical use of gold to emulate the nature of spiritual light, which, when seen with the inner eye of faith, is able to lift the mind of the beholder towards the vision of eternal bliss. The author does not go into a closer discussion of the sources of Suger’s inspiration, Pseudo-Dionysius or a Western tradition in a broader sense, but his argument is based on the view that lumina vera specifically refer to Christ’s work of redemption, represented in the golden reliefs of the doors. Further support for this reading is provided by a reference to an inscription on a Danish golden frontal from around 1200.
Målaren som konstnär och allegori. Självbild, dräkt och frusen tid vid 1500-talets början
Authors: Bengtsson Melin Pia
Published: December 2024

Title: The Painter as an Artist and Allegory. Portrait, fashion and frozen time in the early 16th centuryThroughout the Middle Ages, self-portraits were created by the artisans who constructed and decorated churches and secular buildings. In the late 15th century, however, severe changes can be noticed in the way they decided to present themselves. The changes indicate the changing role of the artisans as renaissance artists with increasing self confidence in every aspect of life. Garments had an important function in creating this image. These changes can be noticed in a number of self-portraits by northern European painters around 1500. For Albrecht Dürer, for example, clothing played an important role in creating the image of an artist rather than a painter, then simply regarded as artisans. Similar examples can be seen all over northern Europe at this time. One of them depicts Andreas Martini, a Swedish painter working in the 1520s, who portrayed himself in Valö, painting St Luke assisted by his journeyman. The self-portraits shown here are not simply portraits. They have wider significance with aspects of individualism, frozen time and allegory. These aspects are almost imperceptible but stand out in closer readings. The self-portraits discussed here can, in my opinion, be read as allegories of painting and sculpture.

Is Your Business Strategy Bold Enough to Succeed in Today's Market?
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: December 2024

The article argues that in today's rapidly evolving business landscape, traditional incremental strategies are often insufficient for driving the growth needed to survive and thrive. It explores why bolder, more disruptive approaches are required for success, drawing on research showing that aggressive, opportunistic strategies correlate with stronger organizational performance. The piece then outlines practical methods for developing and implementing a bold strategic vision, including identifying untapped markets or technologies, setting visionary but achievable goals, acquiring new capabilities through M&A, and embracing failure and rapid pivoting. The conclusion emphasizes that while incremental improvement remains important, businesses today must adopt ambitious, forward-thinking strategies to shape the future of their industries rather than merely react to change. Those bold enough to reimagine business models and customer experiences will emerge as long-term leaders.

The article identifies and analyzes key issues related to industrial tourism development in the second-tier cities of the Ural region. The relevance of the work is determined by the need to study the problems of domestic tourism development in Russia, develop a comprehensive toolkit for its assessment, and integrate the problem of the tourism sector into the broad socio-economic context of the post-industrial, creative economy.
The significance of symbolic capital as a historically accumulated cultural resource is characterized; a conclusion is made that today’s development of industrial tourism is largely based on the system of cultural institutions and models that emerged in the second half of the 20th century. A number of topical issues and trends are not sufficiently represented in the cultural policy of the modern Urals due to the fact that this policy is still largely inspired by the impulses of the 1970s - 1990s (lack of due attention to the labor feat of the Great Patriotic War, weak interest in modern production and technology).
The importance of the general level of development of the creative sector of the economy for industrial tourism is shown; the materials of the Sverdlovsk region demonstrate the gap between the agglomeration of the regional center and other cities of the region in terms of the level of development of creative industries. It is noted that a significant challenge for the development of industrial tourism is the problem of reclamation of industrial landscapes and their integration into the cultural space, since the region does not yet have successful practical examples in this area.
The authors come to the conclusion that the successful development of industrial tourism in the Ural region requires comprehensiveness (overcoming departmental and administrative barriers), investments in symbolic capital and the organization of new cultural institutions, the development of specific tools taking into account the spatial and economic heterogeneity of the structure of the regional economy, increased attention to issues of environmental improvement and the integration of not only architectural monuments, but also industrial landscapes into the general cultural policy.

Objetivo: Evaluar los cambios de la longitud axial a corto plazo tras el uso de un anteojo especialmente diseñado con reducción del contraste periférico.
Métodos: Se realizó un estudio piloto en el que se evaluó a sujetos que utilizaban anteojos especiales con modulación del contraste periférico y una zona central con corrección de la miopía lejana. Durante el experimento los sujetos leyeron un libro con letras negras sobre fondo blanco en la computadora con la misma luminosidad en dos períodos: uno con los anteojos habituales y el segundo con los especiales. Antes y después de estos períodos se realizaron 10 mediciones de la longitud axial del ojo derecho con el biómetro Lenstar 900 y se promediaron hasta tres decimales.
Resultados: Ocho sujetos, cuya edad media era de 22,3 ± 5,5 años, participaron en este estudio. El equivalente esférico medio de su ojo derecho era de -2,31 ± 1,06 dioptrías. Se observó una diferencia significativa de +16,1 micras de aumento de la longitud axial con respecto del valor basal al leer con la graduación habitual durante el primer período de 40 minutos. Cuando los sujetos leyeron en la misma situación con el anteojo de modulación del contraste, el cambio de longitud axial se invirtió significativamente, acortándose en -9,2 micras (p<0,001 y p=0,002, respectivamente prueba t de Student).
Conclusiones: La disminución de la longitud axial con los anteojos probados en este estudio puede deberse al engrosamiento de la coroides. Dado que el desarrollo de la miopía se detiene cuando la coroides se engrosa, estos anteojos podrían probarse para el control de la miopía en un ensayo clínico.
Predictive analytics model for students' grade prediction using machine learning. A review

Forecasting the academic achievement of students is a vital undertaking in the analysis of educational data, providing the opportunity to improve learning results and teaching methods. This paper investigates an array of machine learning (ML) methods for predicting student grades, offering a thorough examination of cutting-edge methodologies. The research centres on three primary projects that utilise supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning techniques, namely Logistic Regression, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Random Forest, and Neural Networks. A comparative examination demonstrates that Neural Networks often surpass other models in terms of their predictive accuracy, adaptability, and capacity to represent intricate, nonlinear relationships in educational data. Notwithstanding issues like overfitting and the requirement for extensive training data, Neural Networks exhibit considerable promise for wider applications in personalized learning and academic prediction. The findings emphasize the profound influence of machine learning in educational environments, promoting the use of advanced algorithms to facilitate data-driven decision-making in academics.
Fortifying AI Against Cyber Threats Advancing Resilient Systems to Combat Adversarial Attacks

Published: December 2024

The emerging complexity of the threats which the safer world faces as of now, let alone the adversary attacks, presents great troubles to the orthodox systems of cybersecurity. This research focuses on the use of AI to design and develop robust systems that prevent such shifting threats. As a result, the proposed adaptive defense mechanisms utilize RL in this investigation to contend with real-time emergent attack patterns. At the same time, Ensemble Methods are applied to improve the anomaly detection non-sensitive approaches by using several machine learning models in order to minimize the false positives and maximize the true positives. The utility of the proposed framework is assessed by using benchmarking data sets such as NSL-KDD and CICIDS 2017 to represent various adversarial settings. The results shown in the study show that RL is able to manage dynamic threats successfully with high detection ratio and low response time. Ensemble Methods supplement this by strengthening the reliability of detection and shortening the error margin. The study reveals that AI has implications for optimizing the possibilities of cybersecurity systems, as well as for the defense systems themselves, as the implementation of flexible and fundamentally suitable approaches is already possible at the present stage.
