Authors: Luci de Oliveira Fabiana , Aina Sadek Maria Tereza
Published: May 2024

O objetivo do artigo é discutir a baixa capacidade de enforcement do Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ), a partir do estudo de caso do cumprimento da Resolução CNJ 203/2015, que instituiu a política de reserva de 20% das vagas em concursos públicos para cargos efetivos e de ingresso na magistratura para pessoas negras. Sistematizamos dados oriundos do levantamento estatístico do perfil racial de juízes e servidores do quadro de pessoal dos tribunais do país realizado pelo Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ, 2021), correlacionando-os com dados populacionais, e acrescentamos informações de natureza qualitativa, a partir de entrevistas realizadas com magistrados e servidores, buscando identificar os impactos e o alcance da política de cotas no âmbito do Poder Judiciário. Constatamos que a referida resolução não vem sendo cumprida pela maior parte dos Tribunais, sendo que a ausência e/ou insuficiência de dados compromete a realização de um diagnóstico mais robusto sobre a inclusão de negros e negras no Judiciário, tanto na magistratura, quanto no corpo de servidores. Concluímos que Resolução do CNJ só se cumpre quando há vontade política dos dirigentes dos tribunais, dos juízes, e comprometimento por parte dos servidores, ou quando se trata de garantir vantagens corporativas para a magistratura.

Published: May 2024

O trabalho cuidará de um importante capítulo da íntima relação entre direito constitucional e direito processual penal relativo à construção de limites entre atividade de inteligência financeira e atividade de persecução penal. O tema foi objeto de recente decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), tomada em recurso extraordinário com repercussão geral (RE nº 1.055.941), que cuidava da licitude do trânsito de informações financeiras entre a unidade de inteligência financeira brasileira, o Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras (COAF), e órgãos de persecução. Desde então, o debate, em vez de acomodar-se, apenas se intensificou. De lá para cá, deu-se desacerto interno ao Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) e, após, entre o STJ e o STF. O legislador não atuou. O artigo discutirá as causas e as consequências jurídicas da dupla lacuna normativa – legislativa e jurisprudencial – que incide sobre a atividade desempenhada pelo COAF a pedido das autoridades encarregadas da investigação criminal e proporá, ao final, balizas para o enfrentamento do tema pelo STF.

Neste ensaio[1], a partir de nossa experiência prática com litígios constitucionais ambientais e de um levantamento sistemático da jurisprudência do STF dos últimos 10 anos sobre licenciamento ambiental e unidades de conservação, propomos uma avaliação da atuação da nossa Corte Constitucional, por duas óticas: (i.) o que chamamos de seus efeitos simbólicos, que seriam o reconhecimento de situações de inconstitucionalidade e a reafirmação de direitos e deveres constitucionais e (ii.) o que chamamos de seus efeitos instrumentais, que seriam as ordens judiciais que exigem mudanças na condução de políticas públicas. Ao final, levantamos a hipótese de que a atuação do STF nesses temas tem efeitos simbólicos relevantes, apontando diretrizes para a política ambiental, mas mostra timidez na esfera instrumental, evitando interferências fortes em decisões já prolatadas pela administração pública.

Attracting foreign investment requires assurances from states to safeguard against infringements and losses. Arbitration serves as a crucial factor in enticing investors. However, for arbitration to be effective, ensuring information security is imperative. Maintaining confidentiality and preventing disclosure are vital, yet they pose challenges. International experiences indicate that companies might accept unjust settlements to prevent revealing their trade secrets. To tackle these obstacles, various arbitration bodies have endeavored to establish legal mechanisms for ensuring information security. This involves targeting individuals involved in arbitration proceedings and enhancing technical infrastructure. For instance, the International Council for Arbitration (ICCA), in collaboration with the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) and the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR), devised an Electronic Security Protocol for Commercial Arbitration. These initiatives aim to shield participants in international commercial arbitration from the risks of divulging sensitive information due to breaches in information security. The protocol offers a framework of guidelines for arbitrators and parties on safeguarding confidential information throughout the arbitration process. It encompasses aspects like confidentiality agreements, data protection, access control, security measures for electronic devices and data, and procedures for handling incidents. By adhering to these guidelines, arbitrators and parties can uphold the protection of confidential information, thus ensuring that international commercial arbitration remains a secure platform for dispute resolution.

Authors:   College of Management, Northern Iloilo State University, Iloilo City, Philippines, Gumarac Madelyn R.
Published: May 2024

This study investigates how financial well-being, a key factor affecting life quality, job contentment, and retirement readiness, varies among individuals. It looks at the spending habits, financial challenges, and knowledge of four generations (Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z) working in four state universities and colleges (SUCs) in the Philippines. The study involved 371 regular staff and academic employees who completed a modified questionnaire. The results showed that these employees generally spend cautiously and face few financial problems, yet they possess considerable financial understanding. There was a noticeable link between how they spend and the problems they face. A strong connection was observed between their financial knowledge and spending habits. However, the link between the financial issues they face and their knowledge of finances was weaker. This suggests that the employees are careful with their spending and have good financial knowledge. These insights are useful for creating specific programs and educational efforts to improve the financial well-being of staff and academics at these Philippine universities.

Authors: Soni Hiral , Ivanova Julia , Wilczewski Hattie , Ong Triton , Ross J Nalubega , Bailey Alexandra , Cummins Mollie , Barrera Janelle , Bunnell Brian , Welch Brandon
Published: May 2024

Background

Self-administered web-based questionnaires are widely used to collect health data from patients and clinical research participants. REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture; Vanderbilt University) is a global, secure web application for building and managing electronic data capture. Unfortunately, stakeholder needs and preferences of electronic data collection via REDCap have rarely been studied.

Objective

This study aims to survey REDCap researchers and administrators to assess their experience with REDCap, especially their perspectives on the advantages, challenges, and suggestions for the enhancement of REDCap as a data collection tool.

Methods

We conducted a web-based survey with representatives of REDCap member organizations in the United States. The survey captured information on respondent demographics, quality of patient-reported data collected via REDCap, patient experience of data collection with REDCap, and open-ended questions focusing on the advantages, challenges, and suggestions to enhance REDCap’s data collection experience. Descriptive and inferential analysis measures were used to analyze quantitative data. Thematic analysis was used to analyze open-ended responses focusing on the advantages, disadvantages, and enhancements in data collection experience.

Results

A total of 207 respondents completed the survey. Respondents strongly agreed or agreed that the data collected via REDCap are accurate (188/207, 90.8%), reliable (182/207, 87.9%), and complete (166/207, 80.2%). More than half of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that patients find REDCap easy to use (165/207, 79.7%), could successfully complete tasks without help (151/207, 72.9%), and could do so in a timely manner (163/207, 78.7%). Thematic analysis of open-ended responses yielded 8 major themes: survey development, user experience, survey distribution, survey results, training and support, technology, security, and platform features. The user experience category included more than half of the advantage codes (307/594, 51.7% of codes); meanwhile, respondents reported higher challenges in survey development (169/516, 32.8% of codes), also suggesting the highest enhancement suggestions for the category (162/439, 36.9% of codes).

Conclusions

Respondents indicated that REDCap is a valued, low-cost, secure resource for clinical research data collection. REDCap’s data collection experience was generally positive among clinical research and care staff members and patients. However, with the advancements in data collection technologies and the availability of modern, intuitive, and mobile-friendly data collection interfaces, there is a critical opportunity to enhance the REDCap experience to meet the needs of researchers and patients.

Published: May 2024

Integrating machine learning (ML) models into clinical practice presents a challenge of maintaining their efficacy over time. While existing literature offers valuable strategies for detecting declining model performance, there is a need to document the broader challenges and solutions associated with the real-world development and integration of model monitoring solutions. This work details the development and use of a platform for monitoring the performance of a production-level ML model operating in Mayo Clinic. In this paper, we aimed to provide a series of considerations and guidelines necessary for integrating such a platform into a team’s technical infrastructure and workflow. We have documented our experiences with this integration process, discussed the broader challenges encountered with real-world implementation and maintenance, and included the source code for the platform. Our monitoring platform was built as an R shiny application, developed and implemented over the course of 6 months. The platform has been used and maintained for 2 years and is still in use as of July 2023. The considerations necessary for the implementation of the monitoring platform center around 4 pillars: feasibility (what resources can be used for platform development?); design (through what statistics or models will the model be monitored, and how will these results be efficiently displayed to the end user?); implementation (how will this platform be built, and where will it exist within the IT ecosystem?); and policy (based on monitoring feedback, when and what actions will be taken to fix problems, and how will these problems be translated to clinical staff?). While much of the literature surrounding ML performance monitoring emphasizes methodological approaches for capturing changes in performance, there remains a battery of other challenges and considerations that must be addressed for successful real-world implementation.

Authors: Naseem Usman , Thapa Surendrabikram , Masood Anum
Published: May 2024

Background

Medical image analysis, particularly in the context of visual question answering (VQA) and image captioning, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and educational purposes.

Objective

Our study aims to introduce BioMedBLIP models, fine-tuned for VQA tasks using specialized medical data sets such as Radiology Objects in Context and Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Chest X-ray, and evaluate their performance in comparison to the state of the art (SOTA) original Bootstrapping Language-Image Pretraining (BLIP) model.

Methods

We present 9 versions of BioMedBLIP across 3 downstream tasks in various data sets. The models are trained on a varying number of epochs. The findings indicate the strong overall performance of our models. We proposed BioMedBLIP for the VQA generation model, VQA classification model, and BioMedBLIP image caption model. We conducted pretraining in BLIP using medical data sets, producing an adapted BLIP model tailored for medical applications.

Results

In VQA generation tasks, BioMedBLIP models outperformed the SOTA on the Semantically-Labeled Knowledge-Enhanced (SLAKE) data set, VQA in Radiology (VQA-RAD), and Image Cross-Language Evaluation Forum data sets. In VQA classification, our models consistently surpassed the SOTA on the SLAKE data set. Our models also showed competitive performance on the VQA-RAD and PathVQA data sets. Similarly, in image captioning tasks, our model beat the SOTA, suggesting the importance of pretraining with medical data sets. Overall, in 20 different data sets and task combinations, our BioMedBLIP excelled in 15 (75%) out of 20 tasks. BioMedBLIP represents a new SOTA in 15 (75%) out of 20 tasks, and our responses were rated higher in all 20 tasks (P<.005) in comparison to SOTA models.

Conclusions

Our BioMedBLIP models show promising performance and suggest that incorporating medical knowledge through pretraining with domain-specific medical data sets helps models achieve higher performance. Our models thus demonstrate their potential to advance medical image analysis, impacting diagnosis, medical education, and research. However, data quality, task-specific variability, computational resources, and ethical considerations should be carefully addressed. In conclusion, our models represent a contribution toward the synergy of artificial intelligence and medicine. We have made BioMedBLIP freely available, which will help in further advancing research in multimodal medical tasks.

Reflections on the Construction of Strategic Performance Management System in Chinese Manufacturing Enterprises
Authors: Can Hu , Bin Abdul Latiff Dr. Ahmed Razman
Published: May 2024

In the surge of global economic integration, China's manufacturing industry is poised at the forefront of a transformational upgrade. Beyond the hum of production lines, the vital pulse lies within the robust rhythm of Strategic Performance Management Systems (SPMS). Yet, studies indicate that despite China's manufacturing sector advancing towards "intelligent manufacturing" and innovation, there are numerous areas within strategic performance management systems that urgently demand enhancement. In the coming years, for China's manufacturing industry to secure higher value positioning within the global supply chain and assert dominance in niche markets, it must seize the nerve center of strategic performance management. Confronted with a series of challenges including slowing growth, rising costs, and tightening environmental regulations, manufacturing enterprises urgently need to construct an efficient and precise performance management system. However, in reality, many enterprises still exhibit a weak strategic execution, lacking a systematic performance orientation and employee incentive mechanisms, often resulting in a disconnect between strategic objectives and performance management. The factors affecting the effective implementation of strategic performance management within enterprises are intricate. Internal factors primarily encompass the rigidity of corporate culture, bottlenecks in leadership style and employee engagement, as well as hindrances in information sharing and communication mechanisms. External factors involve the volatility of market environments, unclear policy directions, and intensifying international competition. The formulation of a comprehensive performance management system undoubtedly holds profound significance for optimizing resource allocation, reinforcing core competitiveness, and enhancing strategic responsiveness.

Published: May 2024

Abstract: An increasing number of individuals are shopping online, particularly for clothing. However, while purchasing online, actual try-ons are not allowed, which limits the customer’s ability to see how a garment would appear on them. To enable buyers to virtually try on the desired clothing from an online store, an imagebased try-on system was devised. The ability to practically put on several clothes has increased customer interest in shopping. Image Recognition and Feature Extraction was the important part of the model to get desired outcomes. And To address these problems, we implement the CP-VTON+ (Clothing shape and texture Preserving VTON), which performs substan- tially better than the most advanced in sense of both quantitative and qualitative evaluations. The CP-VTON+ model not only adapt to detangle clothes from the person, but also maintains the clothing’s details on the try-on outcomes.

Social media is now an inherent part of one's life. Various communication activities are carried out, both personal, institutional and social. At the same time, social media has a vast and promising economic potential. The smart way to do this is through content management, which can be used as a new economic resource. Empowerment of entrepreneurial values through digital entrepreneurship competitions is considered indispensable in the millennial era. A high number of entrepreneurs can be achieved if the community is encouraged, conditioned, and motivated by someone to become an entrepreneur.Entrepreneurial motivation is one of the critical determinants of business success. Through digital technology, entrepreneurship (digital entrepreneurship) has had a tremendous impact on the world. Digital businesses built through internet networks such as Google, Facebook or Microsoft have been able to change the world and form communication patterns without geographical barriers. Digitalization also has an impact on the development of new entrepreneurs.  The potential for new business development is increasing because of opportunities to digitize business branches and shift business from offline to online, and where physically active traditional organizations go digital, for traditional entrepreneurs to shift to new forms of business in the digital age, both in terms of product, distribution and business location. This socialization is expected to foster business values for SMK 60 Kedoya students based on tourism competencies.

Lung cancer is one of the most fatal malignancies, with the highest
death rates (~19%), of which NSCLC type, contributes to
~85%. In the search for new treatments, antimicrobial
peptides have received much attention due to their propensity for
selective destruction of cancer cells. In the current study, we
evaluated the efficacy of metastasis-specific tumour-homing-TMTP1peptide
against lung cancer using inhalable hybrid-nano-assemblies of
PEG–PLGA-copolymer as a carrier for pulmonary delivery which was
assessed for aerodynamic and physicochemical properties, along with
peptide-release profile, physical stability, cellular uptake &
biocompatibility, generation of reactive-oxygen-species, cell migration,
autophagic flux, and apoptotic cell death in A549 lung cancer cells.
Optimization of inhaled dose, lung retention, and efficacy studies was
conducted to evaluate the formulation in NNK (Nicotine-derived
nitrosamine ketone) induced tumour-bearing lung cancer, murine model.
After inhalation, the formulation with nano-scale physiognomies showed
good lung deposition, retention, and metabolic stability. The
inhalable-nano-assemblies have shown enhanced generation of
reactive-oxygen-species with increased autophagy-flux and apoptotic-cell
death. Pre-clinical animal trials show substantial tumour regression by
inhalable-TMTP1-based-nano-formulation with limited side effects. Our
results on metastasis targeting and tumour-homing peptide TMTP1 exhibit
effective tumour targeting and tumour-killing efficacy and provide a
reference for the development of new therapeutics for NSCLC.

A fifteen-year-old warmblood gelding was presented with recurrence of a
histologically confirmed osteosarcoma of the left second and third
metacarpal bones three years after initial diagnosis and treatment.
Initially, surgical excision was performed, followed by local injection
of carboplatin 11 weeks later. The horse was sound after surgery and was
used for low level dressage and jumping. Three years later, the horse
developed acute onset of lameness in the left forelimb and a painful
soft tissue swelling at the proximomedial metacarpal region. Radiographs
showed a spiculated periosteal reaction on the medial aspect of the
third metacarpal bone, indicating re-activation of the lesion.
Stereotactic radiation therapy was performed with a protocol consisting
of three fractions under general anaesthesia (Mo-We-Fr schedule), and a
total dose of 30 Gy. The technique used was volumetric modulated arc
therapy guided by cone beam computed tomography for daily positioning.
Following the radiation therapy, the horse became sound at walk and one
month later, it became sound at trot. Follow-up by veterinary
examination eighteen months after final treatment revealed no lameness
at walk and trot, and a stable radiographic appearance.

During plant-pathogen interaction, plant exhibits a strong defense
system utilizing diverse groups of proteins to suppress the infection
and subsequent establishment of the pathogen. However, in response,
pathogens trigger an anti-silencing mechanism to overcome the host
defense machinery. Among plant viruses, geminiviruses are the second
largest virus family with a worldwide distribution and continue to be
production constraints to food, feed, and fiber crops. These viruses are
spread by a diverse group of insects, predominantly by whiteflies, and
are characterized by a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genome coding for
four to eight proteins that facilitate viral infection. The most
effective means to managing these viruses is through an integrated
disease management strategy that includes virus-resistant cultivars,
vector management, and cultural practices. Dynamic changes in this virus
family enable the species to manipulate their genome organization to
respond to external changes in the environment. Therefore, the
evolutionary nature of geminiviruses leads to new and novel approaches
for developing virus-resistant cultivars and it is essential to study
molecular ecology and evolution of geminiviruses. This review summarizes
the multifunctionality of each geminivirus-encoded protein. These
protein-based interactions trigger the abrupt changes in the host methyl
cycle and signaling pathways that turn over protein normal production
and impair the plant antiviral defense system. Studying these
geminivirus interactions localized at cytoplasm-nucleus could reveal a
more clear picture of host-pathogen relation. Data collected from this
antagonistic relationship among geminivirus, vector, and its host, will
provide extensive knowledge on their virulence mode and diversity with
climate change
Ground state solutions for asymptotically linear Schrödinger equations on locally finite graphs
Authors: Li Yunxue , Wang Zhengping
Published: May 2024

We are considered with the following nonlinear Schrödinger equation −∆
u+( λa( x)+1) u= f( u)
,x∈ V, on a locally finite graph G=( V,E),
where V denotes the vertex set, E denotes the edge set,
λ>1 is a parameter, f( s) is
asymptotically linear with respect to s at infinity, and the
potential a: V→[0 ,+∞) has a nonempty well Ω. By
using variational methods we prove that the above problem has a ground
state solution u λ for any λ>1. Moreover, we show
that as λ→∞, the ground state solution u λ converges to a ground
state solution of a Dirichlet problem defined on the potential well Ω.
