What is your Context Window?
Authors: Aryani Amir
Published: February 2024

I asked Generative AI Models about their context window. Their response was intriguing. The context window for a large language model (LLM) like OpenAI’s GPT refers to the maximum amount of text the model can consider at any one time when generating a response. This includes both the prompt provided by the user and the model’s generated text.

Objective: To evaluate the treatment results of combined blue light (415 nm wavelength) and red light (633 nm wavelength) therapy for patients with severe acne vulgaris.
Subjects and methods: A pre-post comparative interventional study on 30 patients with severe acne vulgaris, examined and treated at the Central Dermatology Hospital from July 2022 to June, 2023.
Results: The female-to-male patient ratio was approximately 2.3/1. Patients aged 16-25 accounted for 70.8%, and 46.7% had family members with acne. Clinically, 100% of patients had facial lesions (with 97.8% of lesions in the cheek area). The number of inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions gradually decreased from week four to week 12 of treatment. The differences between treatment weeks and pre-treatment were statistically significant, with p < 0.05. Good and very good treatment results increased for both genders after four, eight, and 12 weeks of the treatment, with statistically significant changes (p1-2 < 0.05 and p3-1 < 0.05). Dry lips remained a common unwanted effect at the end of treatment (60.0%).
Conclusions: Treatment of severe acne vulgaris with isotretinoin combined with blue light and red light had a good treatment effect after 12 weeks of treatment.

Published: February 2024

Purpose: Summary of tumor-produced circulating proteins as biomarkers in breast cancer (BC) detection.
Subjects and method: A meta-analysis of 50 researches on protein biomarkers in BC diagnosis.
Results: Many studies have shown that tumors continuously release components such as protein, RNA, and DNA into the bloodstream during apotosis. There are different protein markers, as tissue markers and serum markers involved assisting diagnosis, but none of them can independently establish the final diagnotic BC at an early stage. Therefore, scientific communities have been putting lots of effort to discover biomarkers for better identifying this malignant disease at earlier stages.

Published: February 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the acute and subchronic toxicity of Pyridostigmine bromide 90 mg extended-release tablets in experimental animals.
Subjects and methods: Pyridostigmine bromide 90 mg extended-release tablets were prepared complying in-house specifications. Acute oral toxicity (LD50) was determined in white mice using the Litchfield-Wilcoxon method. Subchronic toxicity was assessed in rabbits following OECD guidelines.
Results: The acute toxicity study revealed an LD50 of 17.9 mg/kg when Pyridostigmine bromide 90 mg extended-release tablets were orally administered to mice. In the subchronic toxicity assessment, rabbits were treated with Pyridostigmine bromide tablets for 28 days. Doses of 7.2 mg/kg/day and 21.6 mg/kg/day showed no significant alterations in hematological parameters (red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, white blood cells, platelets), blood biochemical parameters (AST, ALT, total protein, creatinine, urea), and did not cause damage to the histopathology of the liver, spleen, and kidneys in rabbits. However, the dose of 21.6 mg/kg/day resulted in a statistically significant difference in rabbit weight gain compared to those administered a dose of 7.2 mg/kg/day and those in the control group.

This book is designed to be a comprehensive exploration of the fascinating world of morphology, a branch of linguistics concerned with the structure of words. The study of morphology bridges the gap between the phonetic or phonological processes that affect sounds and the syntactic processes that govern sentence structure, offering insights into the building blocks of the language itself. Our exploration begins with fundamental questions: What exactly is a word? How do we distinguish between the different types of words and their functions within a language? These initial enquiries set the stage for a deeper investigation of the nature of morphemes, the smallest units of meaning in a language, and the complex interplay between form and meaning that characterizes word structure. The book is structured to guide the readers, through a range of topics designed to build comprehensive understanding of morphological theory and its applications. From the foundational aspects of words and lexemes to the intricacies of lexeme formation and the mental lexicon, each unit was crafted to provide both theoretical insights and practical examples. Through typological analysis, we explore derivational processes, the productivity and creativity inherent in word formation, and the structural diversity found in languages worldwide. A significant focus is placed on how we, as speakers and listeners, store and retrieve words in our minds. Through examples and discussion, we examine how words are represented in the mind, the role of dictionaries in understanding word structure, and the implications of lexical gaps and innovations in language that reflect the complexity of human cognition and culture. The book also addresses more advanced topics such as the theoretical challenges in morphological analysis, including the nature of morphological rules, lexical integrity, and the debate between different morphological theories.

Published: February 2024

O presente texto é resultado do produto educacional: Oficina usos possíveis do soroban em uma proposta de educação libertadora, desenvolvido em uma escola municipal de Florianópolis, com o objetivo de promover a consolidação dos saberes matemáticos adição, subtração e valor posicional junto aos estudantes do 3º ano do ensino fundamental, alinhado a uma proposta de educação libertadora. Foram realizados ciclos de oficinas matemáticas utilizando o instrumento de cálculo milenar, tradicionalmente oriental, ajustado para acessibilidade de pessoas com deficiência visual. Durante o período de um semestre, foram realizadas oficinas semanais, nas quais os estudantes tiveram a oportunidade e o desafio de construir novas possibilidades de compreender os conceitos matemáticos citados de maneira colaborativa, considerando o aporte teórico freiriano que consiste em rigor metodológico, produção de conhecimento novo e reconhecimento dos saberes existentes, como fundamentos da prática para a liberdade. Na fase metodológica, adotou-se uma abordagem qualitativa, explorando as interações durante as oficinas por meio de observações sistematizadas e registros em diário de campo. Os resultados indicam um aumento significativo na compreensão dos conceitos matemáticos e maior engajamento de todos. Estes achados sugerem que o Soroban, além de ser um instrumento inclusivo, promove equidade no processo de aprendizagem matemática, corroborando com a premissa freiriana de que a educação deve ser conduzida como prática da liberdade.

Em linhas gerais, o projeto propôs a produção de um vídeo-documentário com depoimentos dos moradores do Acampamento Beira Rio, da cidade de Fronteira, no estado de Minas Gerais, que trouxesse uma abordagem das suas relações com os recursos naturais e com a terra, onde se encontra o acampamento. Os aprendizados na escola, os conhecimentos nas experiências cotidianas, a vivência familiar, as desterritorializações, entre tantos outros fatores relacionados à vida no campo. Objetivou-se, ainda, especificamente, verificar as mudanças que houve no acampamento, desde a chegada da agricultura familiar, e qual o papel desse modelo nas transformações do local. E, por fim, ter um panorama dos recursos naturais utilizados na produção, para entender as expectativas dos moradores quanto à utilização mais sustentável desses recursos. Os depoimentos foram gravados, a partir de um roteiro de perguntas, para que facilitasse o processo de pós-produção. As gravações realizadas permitiram construir um documentário com 34 minutos, que está sendo exibido nas escolas da região. Levar as histórias dos acampados, e amor que demonstram pela terra, para outros públicos é uma maneira eficaz de combater o preconceito e a desinformação sobre os integrantes dos movimentos de luta pela terra. Acredita-se que o documentário “Um amor pela terra” tem cumprido essa função.

Published: February 2024

This paper emphasizes to provide solutions to the general human problems through ethics & experience. This study uses ethnomethodology, phenomenology and self-exploration methods based on exploration and their inferences from day-to-day events which highly depend on their observer. Therefore these may vary from person to person during interpretations. The present study is limited, so further research is suggested to confirm these inferences using several data sources. The study observes root cause of human problems in the gap in the individual mindset and attitude, social trends, educational modules and the needs of practices to be set in order to solve these problems. This gap is because of lack of right understanding and awareness. It suggests individual practices according to their right understanding. In order to live a peaceful and satisfying life at every level, people are trying to understand the value of harmonious life and working in this direction. Schools & Colleges are trying their level best to inculcate all the values by which student may perform better in their lives. Colleges are doing their best for the students by which they give the best products to this corporate world and country as well. Companies are giving their best and hiring those who are conspicuously different and have amazingly high credentials in their fields. Everybody is performing his and her duty well but the question remains the same- Are we satisfied with the state of affairs today? This paper aims at providing an insight in to the aspects of education triangle in view of real life situations.

Published: February 2024

COVID-19 has rapidly affected consumer behaviour and perception towards risk decisions. The variations in consumer behaviour have consequences on everyday life during and after the lockdown. A comprehensive theoretical and conceptual framework of consumer behaviour during the pandemic COVID-19 has been developed which was supported through grand models of consumer decision-making, facing situations during and after COVID-19, household members, income factors, employment status, education and gender which was collected by survey. Such a type of survey has not been conducted in previous literature. Consumer behaviour is measured through a multi-dimension index (health, education, daily and large households’ purchases) using the principal factor analysis. Results showed that all the social and economic factors have different effects on consumer behaviour during the lockdown. It demonstrates that after lockdown it would be very difficult to normalize consumer behaviour in the business sectors. For the sake of growth in the business sector, it is necessary to address all these fluctuations in consumer behaviour. The households of the districts Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan of Pakistan were selected as the target population for the study. Primary Through the use of a questionnaire & randomly stratified test, data from 300 families were obtained. Approximate least[1] squares and quantitative approaches were used to evaluate the data. All results have been proven experimental and stated the situations faced during COVID-19 have positively and significantly affected consumer behaviour and these results followed with grand models as education, income factors, gender and employment status have significantly affected consumer behaviour directly or indirectly. Similarly, employment status, education, marital status, gender and household members have a favourable and substantial impact on the circumstances faced during COVID-19 and income factors played the mediating role. The current study concluded that the pandemic COVID-19 changed consumer behaviour along with social and economic factors during and after the lockdown.

Published: February 2024

This research constitutes a two-cycle School Action Research involving 29 teachers at SMAN 1 Jawilan, Serang, Banten. Employing data collection methods such as observation, field notes, and documentation, coupled with a comprehensive analysis utilizing both descriptive qualitative and quantitative approaches, this study aimed to discern the impact of academic supervision on teachers' pedagogic competency in developing differentiated learning strategies. The data analysis demonstrated a discernible progression in pedagogic competency scores over the cycles. In the pre-cycle, scores were recorded at 44.17 with an average of 1.52, which subsequently increased to 65.44 with an average of 2.26 in cycle 1, and further elevated to 77.43 with an average of 2.67 in cycle 2. Similarly, an analogous advancement was observed in teachers' pedagogical competency scores for differentiated learning against predetermined standards, ascending from 38% in the pre-cycle to 69% in cycle 1, culminating in 97% in cycle 2. These findings substantiate the assertion that academic supervision plays a pivotal role in augmenting teachers' pedagogical competence, particularly in the context of developing differentiated learning methodologies.

Published: February 2024

Technology integration transformed English learning, innovating tools and platforms that change educational dynamics. Among various digital platforms, YouTube emerges as a versatile global resource with extensive content for English learning. However, simply providing access to YouTube does not guarantee effective, safe use or learning. This phenomenological study explores the lived experiences of students in the English Language Education Study Program at Sanata Dharma University using YouTube to learn English. Students' lived experiences shown through their beliefs, feelings, actions, and decision-making on YouTube. This research examined how students practice digital literacy while learning English on YouTube and how these practices give meaning to their learning. Findings revealed experiences like evaluating video trustworthiness, collaborating with fellow YouTubers, creating videos, addressing safety and privacy concerns, and applying videos creatively for personalized language goals significantly impacted their learning. Students expressed positive attitudes about these digital literacy practices, emphasizing the benefits of self-paced access to authentic English resources. This study provides insight into how students leverage digital platforms like YouTube for language learning through critical digital literacy practices. The findings suggest implications for educators seeking to train students in determining credible information for learning through digital platforms, as this issue gained substansial participants’ attention.

In the 21st era, we are facing the industrial revolution 4.0 which is based on information technology. To face these challenges, individuals need to master certain skills. Schools are considered as a place to develop intelligence and produce quality future generations. However, there is still discrimination in assessing student intelligence, which is often only measured in cognitive terms. The introduction of the concept of multiple intelligences can be a solution to overcome discrimination in the world of education. This research aims to evaluate the application of multiple intelligences by Lazuardi High School in Depok and its impact on the development of student creativity. The research method used is qualitative with direct observation in the school and interviews towards teacher and students of Lazuardi High School, Depok. The research results show that the application of multiple intelligences through teacher approaches and extracurricular activities can successfully develop student creativity. When students can express the intelligence they have, this reflects the creativity they show.

The purpose of this research is to describe the students’ motivation toward English learning in online classes and investigate the types of motivation of the students. The data in this study were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The participants in this study were 125 students of the English Language Education Study Program, Universitas Tanjungpura, batch 2020 and 2021, REG A and PPAPK class. The research findings revealed, that most of the students of the English Language Education Study Program, Universitas Tanjungpura, batch 2020 and 2021 have a high level of motivation toward English learning in online classes on both types of motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic. The research findings showed that 94% of students are categorized as students with a high level of motivation, and the other 6% are categorized as students with a low level of motivation. Specifically, students are more extrinsically motivated than intrinsically with a total mean score for extrinsic motivation is 2.95 and for intrinsic motivation is 2.57. Several factors were found to influence students to have extrinsic and intrinsic motivation such as cost-effectiveness, accessibility, environment, career, facility, confidence, personal enjoyment, need, and preference. The findings of this research suggest pedagogical implications.
Risky Recommendations
Authors: Peukert Alexander
Published: February 2024

2024 will see numerous elections, including the European Parliament Elections in June. The Digital Services Act (DSA) obliges Big Tech to assess and mitigate systemic risks for “electoral processes”. The Commission published Draft Guidelines on the mitigation of systemic risks for electoral processes and sought feedback from all relevant stakeholders. While the protection of election integrity is a laudable aim, the Guidelines as proposed would not rebuild but further erode citizen trust in the digital environment and democratic processes. The recommendations are too vague, too broad and too lenient as regards the suggested cooperation between Big Tech, civil society and public authorities.

The goal of this study is to gather a High Strength Concrete (HSC) composite reinforced by silica fume and superplasticizers. Specimens are Cured by water and tested after aging time of 3, 7, 28 days. Specimens are cubes of 150 and 200 mm and 150x300mm cylinder. The aim is to get mean strength of 80- 85 MPa, and determination of physical properties of the materials used, which are basic components of the High Strength Concrete (HSC) composites. After designing mix proportions, according to design requirements some adjustments were done. Both fresh and hardened properties of the specimens were tested under standard condition (curing schemes, setting time, comp.str. etc). Compressive strength test results were gathered and compared with the requirements.

ABSTRACT
In this comparative study of machine learning models for predicting suicidal behavior, three approaches were evaluated: neural network, logistic regression, and decision trees. The results revealed that the neural network showed the best predictive performance, with an accuracy of 82.35%, followed by logistic regression (76.47%) and decision trees (64.71%). Additionally, the explainability analysis revealed that each model assigned different importance to the features in predicting suicidal behavior, highlighting the need to understand how models interpret features and how they influence predictions.
The study provides valuable information for healthcare professionals and suicide prevention experts, enabling them to design more effective interventions and better understand the risk factors associated with suicidal behavior. However, it is noted the need to consider other factors, such as model interpretability and its applicability in different contexts or populations. Furthermore, further research and validation in different datasets are recommended to strengthen the understanding and applicability of the models in different contexts.
In summary, this study significantly contributes to the field of predicting suicidal behavior using machine learning models, offering a detailed insight into the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and highlighting the importance of model interpretation for better understanding the underlying factors of suicidal behavior.
Key words: Suicidal behavior prediction, Machine learning models, Neural network, Logistic regression, Decision tres, Explainability análisis, Healthcare intervention
La interculturalización de la Educación Superior, estrategia contra el racismo
Authors: Mandepora Chundary Marcia
Published: February 2024

El racismo y la discriminación son temas pendientes o ausentes en los escenarios académicos de la Educación Superior en Bolivia, parecieran ser todavía temas tabúes o aterradores, que simplemente no se abordan. En cambio, la interculturalidad está presente en diferentes procesos de reflexión pedagógica, por lo menos, diferentes actores educativos empiezan a prestarle atención como elemento transformador de la realidad educativa. Sin embargo, este hecho le resta importancia al racismo y la discriminación para que sean tomados en cuenta como prioridad en su tratamiento y desarrollo. Mientras tanto, actitudes negativas hacia las personas de procedencia indígena están vigentes, parecen ser parte de la vida cotidiana y se legitiman con comportamientos y actitudes discriminatorias, que en muchos casos ni siquiera son develadas y denunciadas, y mucho menos se promueven acciones educativas e institucionales para la prevención y eliminación del racismo, pese a que en Bolivia se cuenta con normativas vigentes contra el racismo y toda forma de discriminación. Si bien al interior de algunas universidades se organizan actividades educativas con tema de la interculturalidad y la socialización de las normativas sobre el racismo, no se desarrollan acciones educativas específicas que permitan identificar modalidades de racismo institucional y discriminación practicadas por diferentes actores educativos, principalmente estudiantes y docentes; tampoco existen estrategias para abordar el tema en los procesos pedagógicos. El presente artículo pretende aportar elementos de reflexión acerca de las actitudes racistas y discriminatorias presentes en los espacios de Educación Superior, que en muchos casos son encubiertas o simplemente se ignoran como si fueran algo “natural”. Las mismas universidades no contribuyen a la comprensión del racismo por parte de los actores educativos para su adecuada reflexión.
