Authors: Nepravishta Eris , Topi Skënder , Toçi Ervin , Nepravishta Ervin , Kapaj Armela
Published: December 2024

Hospital acquired infections in general and specifically surgical site infections increase significantly the morbidity and mortality of post-surgery patients. They are considered the most frequent postoperative complication worldwide, and a major public health burden especially in low income countries. The preventability and the high treatment costs of these complications, sets the focus towards identification of the most frequent etiological factors, in order to decrease the incidence of the phenomenon in different levels. This is a retrospective study carried out from January 1 to December 31, 2023. We analysed the microbiology and antibiotic susceptibility reports of specimens accepted and examined at the laboratory department of the Trauma University Hospital, Tirana. We reported standard operating procedure on direct microscopic examination with gram staining, and the susceptibility patterns reported by millimetre scaling the zone of inhibition of the examined antibiotics disks. We reported 40% negativity rate on the examined specimens. The most frequently isolated microorganisms within the positive results were Acinetobacter Baumannii (25.4%), Staphylococcus Aureus (13.5%), and Enterococcus faecalis (10.32%). The combination of cephalosporins together with aminoglycosides was found to be the most effective antibiotic prophylaxis formulation. Continuous surveillance of bacterial profiles through variable rich, statistically significant additional studies become crucial. The results will help toward better hospital acquired infection prevention and control.

The Need for Health Education in Our Educational System
Authors: Ceka Tiziana
Published: December 2024

The Albanian education system, when it comes to health education, still has a long way to go. Currently, health education is not integrated as a real subject in the school curriculum, but is treated in a fragmented manner within other subjects such as biology or physical education. This limited approach means that students do not acquire in-depth and comprehensive knowledge about health issues, including hygiene, mental health or infectious diseases. Without clear planning and dedicated resources, many children face a lack of information that could help them improve their lifestyles. On the other hand, Western countries such as the United States, Canada and some Nordic countries have made significant progress in this regard. These countries have integrated health education as an essential part of the school curriculum, including special subjects that cover specific topics such as physical, sexual, and mental health. For example, in Finland, health education is compulsory and includes a comprehensive approach to producing informed individuals who are capable of making informed decisions regarding their health. These countries also have programs to train teachers who have specialized training in health education. In other countries, such as those in East Asia, such as Japan and Korea, health education is also a priority, but it is more about discipline and a general culture of health and hygiene.Japan has programs that promote healthy lifestyles from a young age, including education about nutrition, physical activity, and disease prevention. In comparison, the Albanian education system should follow these models and provide a more structured health education that not only educates children in the present but also prepares them for the future to become healthy and aware citizens.

Authors: Ogunleye Adewale T. , Alabi Tobiloba R. , Ajibola Olumide
Published: December 2024

The oil sector is critical to Nigeria’s economy, accounting for the majority of its government revenue and foreign exchange earnings. However, it has long been plagued by systemic corruption, undermining its potential to drive equitable development. This study evaluates the impact of anti-corruption policies on revenue transparency and accountability in Nigeria’s oil sector. It explores key frameworks such as the Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) and the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), along with international contributions like the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). By analyzing transparency tools, institutional roles, and the socio-economic effects of these measures, the research highlights both progress and persistent challenges. Findings indicate improvements in transparency mechanisms and stakeholder confidence, particularly in oil-producing regions, but emphasize the need for stronger enforcement and independence of oversight institutions. The study concludes with recommendations for closing policy gaps and aligning governance practices with international standards.

Authors: Al-Harrasi Abir S. , Adarbah Haitham Y. , Al-Badi Ali H. , Shaikh Abdul K. , Al-Shihi Hafidh
Published: December 2024

The oil and gas industry relies heavily on IT innovations to manage business processes, but the exponential generation of data has led to concerns about processing big data, generating valuable insights, and making timely decisions. Many companies have adopted Big Data Analytics (BDA) solutions to address these challenges. However, determining the adoption of BDA solutions requires a thorough understanding of the contextual factors influencing these decisions. This research explores these factors using a new Technology-Organisation-Environment (TOE) framework, presenting technological, organisational, and environmental factors. The study used a Delphi research method and seven heterogeneous panelists from an Oman oil and gas company. The paper provides theoretical and practical contributions to BDA research, adding three new factors to the TOE framework and building a conceptual framework that fits the industry context. The findings revealed twenty factors, with organisational strategy, business framework, and suitability being added to the TOE framework. Among all, data quality was identified as the most significant factor.

Potential Adverse Effects Caused by Gamification Elements in mHealth Apps
Authors: Rocha Ivan , Silveira Milene Selbach
Published: December 2024

Health practices using mobile devices (known as mobile health, or mHealth) have increased in recent years. To increase users’ motivation to use it, mHealth researchers and developers have started to use gamification. However, no studies were found on the negative aspects of gamification in health. This work aims to determine the potential adverse effects of gamification in mHealth applications and analyze how different types of gamification elements can cause these effects. To this end, an analysis of 70 gamified mHealth applications extracted from the Google Play Store was performed to identify which gamification elements are commonly applied in mHealth. Then, to identify the negative aspects of gamification in mHealth and how the gamification elements can be related to them, a systematic review of the literature was carried out, where 37 studies were selected. Finally, a study was carried out with users of gamified mHealth applications to analyze in practice what was found in the previous steps. The results of these studies show which gamification elements are the most used in mHealth applications, the potential adverse effects found, and a list of which gamification elements can cause these effects. The results of this study provide insights into the risks associated with gamification in mHealth applications and can make developers, designers and professionals aware of these harmful issues.
Diversity in Virtual Humans: Unveiling Biases in Human Characteristics Representation
Authors: Araujo Victor Flávio de Andrade , Pelachaud Catherine , Costa Angelo B. , Musse Soraia R.
Published: December 2024

Recent advancements in Computer Graphics (CG) have significantly enhanced the realism of animations and characters in various media. However, the Uncanny Valley (UV) theory suggests that as Virtual Humans (VHs) become more realistic, they may evoke discomfort. This phenomenon challenges industry professionals and researchers to study human perception, considering diverse characteristics such as gender and skin color. This work investigates human perception and sensations when playing or watching VHs, aiming to answer many questions regarding their visual characteristics. For example, one question examines human perception concerning the relationship between the character’s gender and the participant’s gender. The results showed in-group advantages for participants regarding VHs with binary genders, both in gender attribution and emotion recognition. Additionally, this work explores solutions for deconstructing the gender binary using a genderless Virtual Baby (VB) and an adult VH model. It also discusses the UV effect on VHs with different skin colors, highlighting potential biases in skin color algorithms.
Open-set semantic segmentation for remote sensing images
Authors: Nunes Ian , Oliveira Hugo , Poggi Marcus
Published: December 2024

Collecting samples that exhaust all possible classes for real-world tasks is usually difficult or impossible due to many different factors. In a realistic/feasible scenario, methods should be aware that the training data is incomplete and that not all knowledge is available. Therefore all developed methods should be able to identify the unknown samples while correctly executing the proposed task to the known classes in the tests phase. Open-Set Recognition and Semantic Segmentation models emerge to handle this kind of scenario for, respectively, visual recognition and dense labeling tasks. Initially, this work proposes a novel taxonomy aiming to organize the literature and provide an understanding of the theoretical trends that guided the existing approaches that may influence future methods. This work also proposes two distinct techniques to perform open-set semantic segmentation. First, a method called Open Gaussian Mixture of Models (OpenGMM) extends the Open Principal Component Scoring (OpenPCS) framework using a Gaussian Mixture of Models to model the distribution of pixels for each class in a multimodal manner. Second, the Conditional Reconstruction for Open-set Semantic Segmentation (CoReSeg) method tackles the issue using class-conditioned reconstruction of the input images according to their pixel-wise mask. The third proposed approach is a general post-processing procedure that uses superpixels to enforce highly homogeneous regions to behave equally, rectifying erroneously classified pixels within these regions. We also proposed a novel superpixel generation method called Fusing Superpixels for Semantic Consistency (FuSC). All proposed approaches produce better semantic consistency and outperformed state-of-the-art baseline methods on Vaihingen and Potsdam ISPRS dataset. The official implementation of all proposed approaches is available at https://github.com/iannunes.
Novos Caminhos para Aumento de Documentos com templates e Modelos de Linguagem
Authors: Wojcik Lucas , Coelho Luiz , Granada Roger , Menotti David
Published: December 2024

Avanços recentes em processamento de linguagem natural percolam para o campo de reconhecimento de documentos em novos modelos e tarefas, mas o tópico de aumento de dados é raramente discutido. Isto é relevante especialmente para o escopo de documentos, onde tarefas com poucas instâncias de treinamento são de grande importância para muitos domínios, visto que dados bem anotados são escassos, e estes modelos podem ser mesmo utilizados para a própria tarefa de anotação. Para melhorar estes cenários, apresentamos duas novas técnicas de aumento de dados focadas em maximizar o conhecimento de poucas instâncias. Uma é baseada em documentos de estrutura simples, utilizando templates que codificam a informação de layout. A outra usa Large Language Models (LLMs) para reescreveros textos de documentos. Estes métodos funcionam com dois modos: texto e layout. Validamos nossas técnicas nos datasets EPHOIE e FUNSD, respectivamente. Mostramos que nossas técnicas melhoram o baseline, de acordo com as métricas para treinamento simples e combinado.
Hybrid method for active face anti-spoofing based on close-up challenge
Authors: Kamarowski Bruno , Almeida Raul , Biesseck Bernardo , Granada Roger , Coelho Luiz , Menotti David
Published: December 2024

Facial authentication on mobile devices has become prevalent in various applications. Face Liveness Detection, or Face Anti-Spoofing (FAS), focuses on identifying attempts by malicious users to impersonate someone else or hide their own identity. One specific branch within this field is active liveness detection, which involves analyzing both the input signal and user behavior while they perform a required task to verify the authenticity of the presented face. Despite the significant amount of research in FAS, active liveness detection remains mostly underexplored. This gap has led to outdated methods, insufficient testing of proposed active techniques in diverse scenarios, and a lack of comparative analysis between different approaches. In this paper, we explore these differences by comparing the performance of the latest existing close-up methods with baseline models using ResNet-18 and ResNet-50. Furthermore, we introduce a new model that builds on previous work, combining projective invariants with facial embedding for robust feature extraction. This approach directly improves upon existing techniques, surpassing other baselines in detecting spoofing attempts.
PCBShot: An Assisted Image Acquisition Method for PCB Damage Detection With Mobile Devices
Authors: Cabral Lucas , Sena Lucas , Santiago João Pedro , Neto Joaquim Bento Cavalcante , Lenon Yuri , Machado Javam
Published: December 2024

Identifying damages in Printed Circuit Boards is a critical task for quality assurance and repair inspection workflows. Image processing mobile applications, with embedded deep learning, assist technicians in detecting damages in this task, increasing accuracy and agility. However, the performance of such applications is highly dependent on the ability of the user in taking adequate photos. We propose an automatic capture method named PCBShot, that assists users of mobile applications of PCB damage detection to take better photos, enhancing the detection performance. Our method uses classical image processing algorithms to detect if a target PCB is inside a virtual guideline, ensuring that the position and distance are appropriate. Then, a photo is automatically captured, the background is cropped and the image is sliced into four quadrants for resolution preservation. The damage detection is performed in the slices. We evaluate our method through a real-life mobile application used in repair centers of an electronics manufacturer, comparing the detection performance with the manual image acquisition, without further assistance. Our results show that our method largely surpasses the manual acquisition, as it allows the capture of higher-quality images due to framing assistance with image processing methods, eliminating noisy backgrounds and preserving resolution.

Behavioristic approaches to machine learning processes in the context of problem solving of modern public administration
Authors: Vorobiov Serhii , Butriy Artem
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the possibilities of applying a behavioral approach when creating machine learning models of artificial intelligence mechanisms, taking into account the possibilities of tracking the behavioral reactions of users of digital tools, collecting and analyzing the information received and identifying hidden dependencies, and, as a result, developing management decisions based on the correct interpretation of the data obtained by AI algorithms based on the results of the above analysis. It has been established that when building machine learning models, it is advisable to track the behavioral reactions of users of digital tools, collect and analyze the information received, in order to identify hidden dependencies, since this contributes to increasing the efficiency of prediction and modeling by artificial intelligence of various scenarios of behavior of social groups and ensures an increase in the level of personalization of administrative services. Specific examples of the application of the behavioral approach in fields other than public administration, including economics, mass communications, sociology, and others, are presented. The author analyzes the experience of popular social networks in the current conditions of digital development, which use artificial intelligence tools to adjust the behavior of social groups. It is determined that artificial intelligence is able to quickly process large amounts of data and build certain predictive models on their basis and correct the behavior of controlled systems. However, the correctness of the interpretation of the obtained data by artificial intelligence algorithms depends on the conceptual framework used by the developer in the process of machine learning. It is emphasized that the study of the possibilities of applying artificial intelligence mechanisms based on the use of behavioral approaches is already being actively carried out by leading innovative companies, in particular Netflix, Meta, Google and others, to ensure internal management and other business processes. It has been proven that the use of behavioral approaches to machine learning, which focus on the study of behavioral patterns, can provide more effective methods for predicting and modeling user reactions to various scenarios in the field of public administration and contribute to the development of the most effective solutions without the use of coercion and administrative levers

The field of English language teaching (ELT) has undergone significant changes in the 21st century, evolving into a Lingua Franca and supplanting French as an official diplomatic language. The concept and practice of ELT have shed light on factors affecting the self-efficacy of EFL teachers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of language proficiency on the self-efficacy of non-native English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in English Language Teaching (ELT) in Northern Cyprus. This study utilized a mixed-method approach incorporating the Foreign Language Learning Anxiety scale as a theoretical framework and conducting interviews on teaching self-efficacy. The study was carried out utilizing online questionnaires and interviews and garnered responses from 45 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) educators, 12 of whom participated in the interviews. According to the study, the self-efficacy of EFL Cypriot teachers in ELT is impacted by their level of English language proficiency. Additionally, they demonstrate a favorable understanding of the relationship between language proficiency, self-efficacy, and ELT. The study revealed that misconceptions regarding attaining native-level proficiency have a detrimental impact on the confidence and anxiety levels of non-native educators. This emphasizes the necessity for professional development initiatives and inclusive educational policies to bolster teacher self-assurance and accommodate diverse linguistic backgrounds.

Myocardial infarction can present to the emergency room in the form of various complications. Anterior wall MI is notorious for producing mechanical complications like ventricular free wall rupture, ventricular septum rupture, and papillary muscle rupture. Inferior wall MI is usually associated with conduction abnormalities like heart blocks. Here, reperfusion of the myocardium and concurrent management of the complication should go hand in hand. We had a patient presenting to the ER with an ECG that was confusing between a PSVT and VT which when reverted revealed an anterior wall MI. The patient was salvaged with prompt revascularization.

A company's value in relation to its economic, social, and environmental performance is measured by market reactions, which are represented by anomalous returns. As evidenced by abnormal returns, corporate performance that promotes sustainability can boost investor confidence in the stock market. Using abnormal returns as a stand-in, this study attempts to examine how market reactions are affected by economic and social contributions per share as well as economic contributions per share. The research sample consists of companies that have consistently been constituents of the SEG index, which includes SRI-Kehati, ESG Sector Leaders IDX KEHATI, and ESG Quality 45 IDX KEHATI, as well as companies in other indices such as LQ45, IDX80, and Kompas1000, from 2021 to 2023. Purposive sampling was used in the sample selection process, and 119 businesses were chosen to serve as the study subjects. Using Eviews, multiple linear regression is the analytical method employed. The analysis concludes that economic contributions have an impact on market reactions, but social and environmental contributions per share do not significantly affect them. The study's managerial implications highlight how crucial it is for managers to creatively convey to the public the company's environmental and social accomplishments in quantifiable financial terms. The value, purpose, and advantages of the company's donations are highlighted by this method, which also makes it easier for the public to accept and comprehend corporate social contributions.
