EVALUATING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOL CHATGPT VERSUS MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM DECISION-MAKING IN PROSTATE CANCER CARE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: Latha G , A. M Dhinesh , Tharkade Nikhil
Published: November 2024

Chat Generative Pre- Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) and other Large Language Models (LLM's) are
used as a patient education tool in Healthcare and urology, yet nothing has been published on their
practical use within the cancer multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meeting. Here we test ChatGPT's treatment recommendations for
patients with prostate cancer against those made in Real world multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meeting. 15 prostate cancer
patient's details copied unedited from the MDT meeting containing their age, PSA, MRI Staging and prostate biopsy
histopathology and articial intelligence (AI) was directed to recommend the best treatment option for the specic patient
according to the guideline linked and then compared directly to the real world MDT meeting outcome. Urologist reviewed the
answer and decided if concordance has been met or not. All 15 patients that were recommended treatment option by the AI was
concordant with the real world decision made by the MDT meeting. 2 localized ca prostate patients recommended radical
prostectomy (RP) out of which one patient underwent RP and another case RP deferred due to patient preference. 2 very low risk
patient recommended active surveillance, 3 locally advanced ca prostate cases were recommended multimodality treatment
with radiotheraphy and long term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), 6 cases of metastatic ca prostate were recommended
chemotherapy in addition to ADT. 2 case of metastatic castrate resistant ca prostate were recommended docetaxel
chemotheraphy. ChatGPT has huge implications for streamlining and speeding up MDT meetings. We believed that Urologist
must remain both vigilant and open to the capabilities of AI LLM's and to embrace this technology for the bettering of our
Healthcare systems and patient care.

Introduction: This study is to investigate appearance of nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) in cord blood
associated with perinatal asphyxia and its relationship to immediate clinical outcome. Methods: This is
a prospective case control study conducted at NCMCH, Panipat in light of Perinatal asphyxia being a major cause of
neurological morbidity and mortality in India. A total of 92 neonates were included in the study. Number of NRBC/100 white
blood cells (WBC) in cord blood were compared for 46 neonates were taken as test group who suffered perinatal insult
encompassing, delayed cry, birth asphyxia and hypoxia, pitted against 46 neonates as control group who cried immediately
with no evident sign of perinatal insult. Results: Nucleated Red Blood Cells /100 White Blood Cells in the cord blood of newborns
each in the asphyxiated and in the control group have been analysed, range of 0-144 NRBCs/100 WBC has been observed with
0-5 NRBCs most commonly observed in neonates with no perinatal insult and 20-144 NRBCs observed in case of perinatal insult.
So far There is a signicance (P < 0.01) correlation with number of NRBC used as a simplied comparison tool. Conclusions:
The NRBCs/100 WBCs can be a simple, inexpensive yet useful marker for the assessment of severity and early outcome of
perinatal asphyxia in neonates.

Solar Irradiation Prediction Level
Authors: V. D., Gil-Vera , C. Quintero-López
Published: November 2024

The discipline of Machine Learning (ML), a branch of Artificial Intelligence, enhances the ability to model crucial variables for generating green energy, such as solar radiation. Precise prediction of solar irradiation assists in the strategic placement of solar panels, optimizing energy production, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources, and promoting environmental conservation. This research aimed to develop a model for predicting solar irradiation using the Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) technique. The results, while indicating a moderate performance (R²=0.56, MAE=158.23, MSE=43804.89, and RMSE=209.29), provide a valuable starting point for future studies that seek to improve accuracy with more advanced techniques, such as artificial neural networks (ANN) or hybrid models. This research emphasizes the importance of continuing to investigate more sophisticated models for more accurate prediction and suggests that linear models, while useful for understanding basic relationships, have limitations that can be overcome with more advanced approaches.
Assessment of the Feasibility of the Main Vectors of the “Strategy for the Development of Healthcare until 2030”
Authors: Shyshka І. V.
Published: November 2024

Work on the preparation of the strategic development plan for the period up to 2030 has been going on for three years in a row, but the content of the strategic goals and objectives still remains uncoordinated. The object of the article is to analyze the compliance of the goals and objectives defined in the project “Strategy for the development of healthcare until 2030” with the modern challenges faced by the industry in recent years.
The content of the projects “Strategies for the development of the health care system until 2030” dated February 23, 2022 and February 13, 2023 was analyzed. Among the main differences of the mentioned documents, the following are identified: in the first version of the Strategy, the thematic directions and strategic priorities are highlighted, in the second – strategic goals, operational goals and tasks; emphasis in the second version of the document on the development of areas related to new challenges, ensuring adequate financing of the system, taking into account European integration aspirations, monitoring the quality of service provision, digitalization of management and investment attraction. The content of the tasks of each operational goal, revealing the essence of the three strategic goals, was analyzed for their expediency and compliance with the current state of affairs and changes in priorities that have occurred recently.
As a result of studying the content of the strategic and operational goals of the Strategy, as well as the tasks within each operational goal, it was determined that: the Strategy implementation indicators specified in the document have remained almost unchanged over the past few years and are indicated in many documents of strategic and operational planning for the development of the industry; there is a significant discrepancy between the vision of the key development priorities of the industry by the VRU Committee on the Health of the Nation, Medical Care and Medical Insurance and the main development goals defined in the Strategy; out of 141 operational tasks, only 58% (82 tasks) are appropriate, 9% (13) tasks are contradictory and 33% (46) tasks duplicate the content of others or have a populist character; tasks that involve increasing the level of digitization of the health care system are indicated within almost every operational goal, which prevents a holistic and systematic understanding of the main prospects for the use of information technologies in the provision of medical services and system data management; the degree of processing of issues related to financing the implementation of operational measures is insufficient; there is no analysis of the risks of implementing the Strategy and measures to minimize them.

Introduction. The cultural and pedagogical study of the processes of interaction between Russian (Soviet)-Chinese (late XIX century – XX century) relations in the ﬁeld of education is most vividly presented in this study on the example of cooperation in the ﬁeld of music and musical, vocal pedagogy. Russian Russian vocal repertoire is characterized by the pedagogical speciﬁcity of the implementation, characterized by the acceptance and appropriation of samples of culture and art, in particular, the principles of the Russian musical tradition, the Russian vocal school and the Russian, European vocal repertoire. The pedagogical implementation of the principles, methods and organizational forms of teaching of the Russian vocal school is objective in nature, due to the goals and objectives of teaching and educating Chinese musicians, vocalists. Goal. The aim of the study is to determine the mechanism of inﬂuence of the Russian musical tradition on the formation of the Chinese vocal school by the method of implementation. Materials and methods. The inﬂuence of the Russian vocal school on the formation of Chinese vocalism is highlighted in the works of: Li Xiaoying, Zhang Qingyun, Wang Zhshen, Yang Zhou, Li Jian, Guo Wanjin, Lu-xin, A. Kayeva, I. Kolesnitskaya, L. Pushkareva, L. Zemlyanova, Riftin, Yang Zhou, V. I. Klimova. Practical research methods are represented by a survey, interviewing, analysis and comparison of the information received on the research topic. Results and discussion. The application of the systematic method allows us to consider the historical and cultural heritage in this area as one of the elements of culture as a whole, and the practice of preserving and updating Russian-Chinese cooperation in the ﬁeld of culture and education as an element of a systemic phenomenon – the development of the musical sphere. Historiographical and historical-cultural approaches in the study of the problem of this study allowed us to determine the socio-cultural mechanisms and stages of international cooperation between the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China. Conclusion. The format of the international dialogue contributed to the emergence of the Soviet-Chinese educational cluster, which is currently being studied from interdisciplinary positions: historical science, sociology, cultural studies, art studies, musicology, music pedagogy, ethnopedagogy. The study allows us to conclude about the interpenetration of two musical traditions that have enriched the national culture of China and preserved the features of cultural identity.
New contours of the Arab-Israeli conflict (regional aspect)
Authors:   Sevastopol State University, Mirgorod D. A.
Published: November 2024

One of the main determinants of the Middle Eastern system of international relations is the Arab-Israeli conflict. Its significance for the region has long been determined by the involvement of almost all regional and leading global actors in it. At the same time, over the past two decades, the ArabIsraeli conflict has experienced rescaling and a certain de-internationalization. The shift in foreign policy priorities of a number of Arab states, the signing of the Abraham Accords, the normalization of IranianSaudi relations, as well as the global context have shifted the issue of Palestine from the list of priority problems in the Middle East. In this regard, the next round of confrontation between Israel and Palestine somewhat falls out of the logic of regional development and has distinctive characteristics, especially taking into account the updated regional and global realities. Based on this, the purpose of this article is to identify the features of the current Palestinian-Israeli escalation of its regional and global projection.
The information field management during the period of interstate confrontation
Authors:   National University of Science and Technology MISIS, Aristov A. V.
Published: November 2024

The article analyzes topical issues of practical activity in the field of information support for the activities of government agencies, public and business organizations in the context of their participation in solving large-scale tasks of interstate confrontation.The management of the information field is considered in the article as one of the most important areas of activity and can be implemented either on the territory of warring/adjacent states, on the territory of countries that are used as an arena for struggle, or in "extraterritorial" spaces, one of which is the information space. Within the framework of the current socio-political discussion in Russia, various experts often voice the opinion that Russia has never been distinguished by "high" competencies in conducting information warfare. The author of the article, using the example of specific historical "paradoxes", refutes this myth and comes to the conclusion that in the history of our country there are many examples of successful information campaigns that have positively affected the course of a particular military-political confrontation. Moreover, an analysis of the experience of Russia's "informational" participation in conflicts of different eras allows us to conclude that the country has both positive and negative experience in implementing such projects. According to the author of the article, at the current moment, one of the most promising forms of political participation in the process of information warfare is the management of the information field. Primarily due to the use of its resonant potential, the effect of novelty in the information used and/or a variety of triggers. Such political participation ultimately leads to the emergence of numerous information flows and can be determined by one or another chosen scenario. There are three main types of scenarios (essay scenario, analytical scenario, graphic scenario), which differ from each other both in the set of properties of the text itself and in what technological means can be used in the preparation of scenarios. At the same time, any scenario is built in the logic of one of two alternatives: "from the object" or "from the process". An attempt to build a scenario from a "process" within the framework of an information confrontation essentially means an attempt to exert targeted influence on the initiator of even a separate local information flow in order to stop a specific problem. As for the construction of the "from the object" scenario, this approach, for example, may involve the perception of the opposing elite as a whole and setting the task of causing damage to it, for example, in the electoral field. The logic of building a scenario contains 3 stages: the creation of a theoretical model, the design of a practical model, and the definition of alternatives for the development of the scenario.

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AS A KEY DRIVER FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: A CONCEPTUAL DISCUSSION
Authors: J SOMBI NYASHA , GUMBO FAITH , DEWA DUDZAI , A NCUBE SIMBARASHE , GEZANI BRIGHTON , NEMASHAKWE PAUL
Published: November 2024

This conceptual paper discusses how transformational leadership drives the successful
adoption of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies in modern organisations. The
4IR which is characterised by the integration of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence
(AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics, represents an era of
unprecedented technological change. The rapid development and integration of these
technologies offer immense potential for efficiency, innovation, and value creation in
organisations. However, this also presents significant challenges for organisations, particularly
in leading the adaptation to new technological demands and cultivating a workforce capable of
engaging with these advanced systems. As organisations transition into this new technological
space, transformational leadership plays a critical function in guiding these changes. Those
leaders that can inspire and motivate their teams to adopt these new changes, promote a culture
of innovation, and proactively implement emerging technologies are well-suited to drive 4IR
adoption. Transformational leadership is critical in steering firms through the uncertainties of
the 4IR by fostering an innovative culture, enabling experimentation, and empowering workers
to take measured risks. As an organisation prepares for the adoption of new technologies,
transformational leaders are necessary so that they create a coalition of supporters who push
for the adoption of the new technology.
Green synthesis of carbon dot structures from Rheum Ribes and Schottky diode fabrication
Authors: Durmus Muhammed Taha , Bozkurt Ebru
Published: November 2024

In this study, we aimed to synthesize new carbon dot structures (CDs) in a single step by using the plant Rheum Ribes for the first time and to contribute to the studies in the field of diode fabrication by using the new CDs. The CDs were obtained by hydrothermal synthesis, which is commonly used in the literature. TEM and zeta potential measurements were used to determine morphology and sizes of the CDs, and XRD, XPS, and FTIR and micro-Raman spectroscopy were used for structural characterization. Optical characterization of the CDs was done by absorption and steady-state fluorescence measurements. In the second part of the study, CDs were dripped onto silicon substrates, and a CDs thin film was formed by evaporation. A diode structure was obtained by evaporating gold with the shadow mask technique on the CDs film, and the current–voltage characteristics of this diode were examined. The synthesized CDs are spherical with an average size of 5.5 nm, have a negative surface charge and contain 73.3 atom % C, 24.0 atom % O, and 2.7 atom % N. The CDs exhibit fluorescence at approximately 394 nm. The layer thickness and bandgap energy of the prepared CDs film were calculated as 566 nm and 5.25 eV, respectively. The ideality factor and the measured barrier height (Φb) of the CDs-based Schottky diode were calculated as 9.1 and 0.364 eV, respectively. The CDs were used as semiconductor material in a Schottky diode, and the diode exhibited rectification behavior. The results obtained from this study showed that CDs can be applied in the field of electronics, apart from sensor studies, which are common application areas.
METHOD FOR PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF THE TECHNO-ECONOMIC LEVEL OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS FOR HUMANITARIAN DEMINING
Authors: Vlasov А. , Gukov I. , Matiushchenko O. , Rieznikov Yu.
Published: November 2024

Currently, Ukraine is suffering from the pressure of an aggressor who is doing everything in its power to wipe our country off the face of the earth. However, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other Defense Forces are putting up a worthy resistance. The war continues. Nevertheless, life does not stand still. Problems arise that need to be addressed now, without waiting for the end of the conflict. One such problem is the presence of mined territories.
A methodology for assessing the techno-economic level of mechanical systems for humanitarian demining has been proposed, utilizing only a priori data without conducting field tests, the methodology of which is implemented in CWA 15044. The initial data for the methodology include all available technical, operational, and other characteristics provided by the manufacturer of the mechanical demining system, existing data on the experience of its use in demining tasks, and information on previous or other types of tests of the sample. The initial data for the methodology include all available technical, operational, and other characteristics provided by the manufacturer of the mechanical demining system, as well as existing data on its usage experience (if available) in demining tasks, the availability of working design documentation, standard operating procedures, information on previous or other types of tests of the sample (if any), and other relevant data.
The limitation of the methodology is that it only uses the data provided (claimed by the manufacturer), and no experimental field tests are conducted (such tests may be carried out later if a positive assessment of the initial evaluation of the sample is received). The methodology is based on the theory of expert evaluation. In the first stage, an expert commission is formed to conduct the expert assessment of the techno-economic level of the mechanical demining system sample. In the second stage, the initial data are compiled. Experts analyze the informational materials provided by the developer regarding the prospective project, as well as any other necessary documented information. In the third stage, the techno-economic level of the proposed sample is assessed in relation to existing known samples (R1), and the best mechanical demining systems with similar purposes are selected for comparison. The advantage of this methodology compared to more complex evaluation algorithms is that, as a result of the sequential execution of all stages, a single number (scalar) can be obtained for each competing sample, reflecting its techno-economic level. This allows for easy comparison, unlike cases where vector methods of comparison are used.

OECD figures (2022) indicate that more than half of Albania's population today lives outside the country. It is worrisome that 71% of young people in the Western Balkan countries consider moving abroad... (SCiDEV, 2023). This paper explores the role of family in youths’ migration decisions or decision making processes. The research aims to understand and examine how family relationships, dynamics and expectations shape youths’ decisions or decision-making processes to migrate. The main research questions are: What are the main theories that explain the influence of the family on youths’ migration decisions or decision-making processes? What are the opinions of young individuals regarding the role of the family in potential or real decision-making processes or decisions to migrate? Does the family serve as a motivator or a barrier in youths’ decisions or decision-making processes to migrate? The paper takes a qualitative approach, using focus groups as a qualitative research instrument, to emphasize the intricate interplay between family dynamics and youths’ migration decisions or decision-making processes. Key findings indicate that families have been impacted by Albanians' migratory history, which has influenced families to push young individuals to pursue professional opportunities in their home country and obtain a solid education. According to the young individuals who participated in the study, migrating from their family is viewed as the 'final opportunity' if their life in their home country fails to match their expectations. Strong family relationships impact their migration decisions, and in the gender context, a young and unmarried girl is considered inappropriate to migrate unless it is for temporary or transitory academic or cultural mobility purposes.

Published: November 2024

This work evaluates the influence of social media on news reportage and authenticity of covid-19 stories. In conducting this study, the researcher raised three research questions and three hypotheses. User and gratification theory was developed in 1974 by Katz, Blumler and Gurevitch and Diffusion of Innovations theory by Rogers were used to build theoretical support for the study. The survey research design was used to evaluate the opinions of 53 sampled respondents from Passion FM Uyo and NTA Uyo. After the analysis, findings revealed that, social media has an influence on news reporting in Nigeria and that it also has influence on the authenticity of news reported. Finally, it was found that social media had an influence on COVID-19 news reporting. Based on these findings, it was recommended that users of social media should be wary of some of the contents they consume as unscrupulous users have been found to display misleading information that could be harmful to the public. Again, members of the public are encouraged to desist from the various abuses of the use of social media for the interest of greater number of Nigerians found to be users of the sites in search of various relevant pieces of information.

This research is finding out an overview of the response time evaluation of Sectio Cesaria in patients with severe Pre-eclampsia - Eclampsia at Sitti Khadijah 1 Muhammadiyah Hospital Makassar Branch. Severe preeclampsia and eclampsia are complications in pregnancy and childbirth that increase maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates. To prevent the problem of eclampsia, early management of preeclampsia must be carried out properly. Cesarean sections are classified into two categories, namely SC categories 1 and 2. Category 1 Caesarean sections are SCs that must be carried out as soon as possible and most decisions must be taken within 30 minutes, namely in cases that immediately threaten the lives of the mother and baby, such as fetal distress, non-reassuring fetal status, antepartum hemorrhage, and the threat of uterine rupture. While SC category 2 is one that endangers the mother and fetus but not immediately, such as two previous CS, dystocia, hypertension in pregnancy, premature rupture of membranes, breech position, failed induction, bad obstetric history, macrosomia, cephalopelvic disproportion, facial presentation, and most decisions must be taken within 75 minutes. This research method is observational research using a cross sectional approach. The results of this research is maternal outcome most affected by SC response time <75 minutes is postoperative ICU care, and the most influential neonatal outcome is the APGAR Score. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that response time has a significant influence on maternal and neonatal outcomes in patients with severe preeclampsia - eclampsia.

Hybrid nanofluids represent innovative fluid class that combine the advantages of nanoparticles with base fluid to enhance the heat transfer capabilities. It exhibits higher heat transfer capabilities compared to traditional nanofluids. Researchers have seized abundant opportunity to further investigate the unknown behaviour of hybrid nanofluids over different geometries and physical parameters numerically by implementing a certain model of correlation. However, from the literature, these correlation models sometimes underestimate the experimental data of thermal performance. Thus, it is crucial for this review paper to discuss these models for advancing research in this field. Utilizing keyword search and filtering parameters, 354 journal articles from the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases were found. Following the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria process, only 60 papers were evaluated as final articles. These studies were further classified into seven types of correlations: Devi, Modified Devi Type A, Modified Devi Type B, Modified Devi Type C, Takabi, Modified Takabi and Xue model. It is found that Xue model is widely used for solving hybrid nanofluids flow problem which dealing with carbon nanotube particle. While Devi and Takabi-based model are extensively used for non-carbon nanotube particle. This study provides valuable insights for future research to further study the hybrid nanofluid flow precisely and increase the heat transfer performance.

This research paper introduces an advanced approach to address the numerical challenges associated with stiff chemical reaction problems. We propose employing a Hybrid Diagonally Implicit Block Backward Differentiation Formula coupled with strategically placed off-step points to improve the accuracy and efficiency of numerical solutions. Stiff chemical reactions, commonly encountered in various industrial processes, require advanced numerical techniques to precisely capture rapid changes in concentrations. Our hybrid formulation enhances stability and computational efficiency by building on the diagonally implicit structure of block backward differentiation formulas, offering improved performance for solving stiff chemical reaction problems. Under a specific selection of a free parameter, the method is found to possess both zero-stability and A−stability properties. Convergence analysis demonstrates its ability to accurately approximate exact solutions. Through rigorous experimentation and comparative analysis, this research will illustrate the effectiveness of the developed method in solving stiff ordinary differential equations. The expected outcomes include the development of the new numerical method, its validation through comprehensive numerical experiments and insights into its performance and applicability in diverse science and engineering domains.
